Pure jade and gold

When Yuan Rui escaped from the courtyard, he realized that he had dug a big hole for himself.

Where is he the master of learning to do business?Haven't you been disliked enough before?With this free time, it is better to take a good rest at home with the reason of 'rehabilitation'.

"It's so annoying, I just had some wind." Yuan Rui muttered and kicked the stones on the side of the road, but instinctively stayed beside Lu Zhao'an's car and did not go far.

A question suddenly sounded from the side, "Yuan Rui, what are you doing standing here dressed like this?"

Yuan Rui immediately stood at attention, looking at Yuan Puguang through the sunglasses, "Dad, I, I..."

He stood obediently, unable to explain why.

Although the father and son did not have an overnight feud, after all, there was an unpleasant quarrel last night, and Yuan Rui was still a little uncomfortable when they suddenly faced each other.

Yuan Rui was stuttering, and Lu Zhao'an came out of the courtyard and took the initiative to save the siege, "Master, we are planning to go to the market. Yesterday, the third store sold a piece of emperor green that is not bad. I will personally check it and put it in the warehouse."

In addition to the well-known jade carving business in the circle, the Yuan family also traded in rough stones.

As soon as he heard that it was related to business, Yuan Puguang nodded immediately, and then he looked at Yuan Rui again, "Are you going with your senior brother too?"

"Ah? Yes, yes." Yuan Rui gritted his teeth and responded.

Lu Zhao'an walked to Yuan Rui's side, and said with a smile, "Xiao Rui personally said today that he would follow me to the market to study, Master, if you don't believe me, ask your mother and Aunt Chu."

Yuan Puguang knew Lu Zhaoan's temperament, although he favored Yuan Rui, he never liked to lie.

Hearing this now, he was a little surprised that the sun is coming out of the west. He rubbed his callused fingertips, and praised according to his wife's instructions last night, "Yes, learn some business from your senior brother." It's up to you."

He recalled the massage pillow he had just received this morning, and rarely softened his tone towards Yuan Rui, "Come back for dinner tonight, and I'll ask someone to buy you your favorite duck in soy sauce."

"..."

Yuan Rui was stunned for two seconds, then grinned belatedly, "Oh!"

When Yuan Puguang returned to the yard, Yuan Rui pressed the corner of his mouth that was still broken and heheed twice.

Lu Zhaoan on the side saw his reaction, and a smile flickered in his eyes.

Others don't understand Yuan Rui, they will only think that he is straight-tempered and even a little 'unreasonable' arrogant, but he knows better than anyone else——

Yuan Rui has always had the temperament of forgetting the pain when the scars are healed. Only those who care about themselves will be heartless. Not only do they not care about gains and losses, but they are most willing to exchange their sincerity.

In the blink of an eye, Yuan Rui was already close to the car door.

Looking at Lu Zhaoan, he felt that there was an invisible little tail shaking vigorously behind him, "So happy?"

"Who's happy?" Yuan Rui pushed his sunglasses, pretending to be cool, "Didn't you say you're going to the market? Hurry up, or I'll change my mind!"

Lu Zhaoan didn't expose him, and quickly approached and unlocked the car.

The two got into the car and drove towards the market.

Yuan Rui has not been to the market with Lu Zhaoan for a long time, and even for a long time he deliberately avoided contact with Lu Zhaoan, the reason is still the same——

He has his own self-esteem and pride, and he doesn't want to live under the shadow of Lu Zhao'an in the name of junior brother Lu Zhao'an. Of course, he also feels powerless if he can't catch up with Lu Zhao'an.

After all these years, Yuan Rui avoided it, only to realize that Lu Zhao'an had reached the right age for 'should get married' according to the elders.

He thought of the conversation at the breakfast table, and his eyes kept shifting to Lu Zhao'an's side face through the shade covered by his sunglasses, and he had some indescribably complicated thoughts in his heart.

Lu Zhaoan is not bad in appearance and has excellent abilities. With such a dull personality, would a girl want to fall in love with him?

I just don't know whether the other party has a high vision in picking a partner. If you ask him, she must be a gentle and gentle girl with a good family upbringing and outstanding work ability.

Most importantly, you must be able to chat with Lu Zhaoan.

However, how long does it take to fall in love before getting married?One year or two years?Nowadays, few young people are willing to live with their elders, right?What's more, he, um, master and mother...

Does Lu Zhaoan have to move out after getting married?

Yuan Rui felt a little irritated for no reason, and cursed secretly.

Lu Zhaoan turned his head to look at him, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Yuan Rui dismissed his inquiry, and within half a minute he couldn't help but probe again, "My mother is looking for a blind date for you? Do you want to meet that Miss Shen?"

The intersection lights up red.

Lu Zhaoan was distracted, and stared at him carefully with a hint of subtlety, "What do you care about this?"

"Who, who cares?" Yuan Rui flatly denied, snorting, "I just don't want my mother to worry about your affairs all the time, but... at your age, you should put your career first, right?"

"Well, I have made it clear to my wife and the others." Lu Zhao'an replied, taking advantage of the green light to continue driving, "I have no intention of going on a blind date."

"..."

Yuan Rui's tense face finally eased, and he asked again, "Aren't you going on a blind date? Do you have someone you like?"

Lu Zhaoan circled the car to the parking lot behind the market and stopped.

He stared at Yuan Rui who was still wearing sunglasses and a mask for a moment, as if he could see through his true face hidden under the cover, "You really want to know?"

"No, just by the way, I'm not at all curious about your personal feelings."

After saying this, Yuan Rui quickly unfastened his seat belt and left the car, as if he was afraid of being caught by Lu Zhaoan.

Lu Zhaoan, who was sitting quietly in the car, slowed down for a few seconds, until he suppressed the ups and downs of emotion in the depths of his pupils, and then got out of the car and went to the market store.

For four or five generations, the Yuan family once became very wealthy through the jade carving business.

The original Linglong Market was established by the Yuan family. After policy changes and relevant departments came forward to rebuild it, the Yuan family only gave up half of the operation and management rights.

Over the years, the Yuan family has reclaimed the scale in order to reduce losses, but there is still a lot of 'ostentation' that should be there.

Just talking about the area of ​​the Imperial Capital, there are five stores, one large, one small, and two factories.As far as the jade trading market outside the province is concerned, there are naturally Yuan's trading contacts.

Yesterday, the third store in the market opened a rare piece of imperial green, and Lu Zhaoan took Yuan Rui there immediately.

To put it bluntly, although Yuan Rui's aptitude in jade carving is mediocre, after all, he has been soaked in jade piles since he was a child, so he still has a bit of ability to recognize materials.

This newly released piece of imperial green made him a little more interesting, and the whole morning passed like that.

Just after noon, a jade carving master who has worked in the Yuan family for more than [-] years came to the store with a new apprentice, "Zhao'an, you have not forgotten what you promised me last time, have you?"

"Master Wang, of course I haven't forgotten." Lu Zhaoan went up to meet him, and looked at the young man beside Master Wang, "Is this your new apprentice?"

"Yes, his name is Zhong Xiu, and he is only 24 years old. He has been asking me to be a teacher since he just graduated from university."

Master Wang looked proudly at the apprentice beside him, "I thought this kid was just a half-minute enthusiasm, but I didn't expect that he would stick to it for a year."

"I'm old and useless, but Zhong Xiu has a lot of energy, so I've been thinking of bringing him here to study with you. No, when I received your call at noon, I immediately brought him here. "

Lu Zhao'an nodded, "It's rare to be willing to sink down to learn jade carving at a young age. It's not worth learning, but it's okay to learn from each other."

Yuan Rui at the side frowned slightly when he heard Lu Zhaoan's affirmation to others.

He observed Master Wang's apprentice silently, he was quite fair and clean, and he looked at Lu Zhao'an without concealing his admiration in his eyes.

Also.

Lu Zhaoan has already become a famous master in the jade carving circle before he was 30 years old. He has achieved what other jade carving masters may not have in his whole life. Who would not worship him?

Just what happened to this person?

This eyelid doesn't even blink?These eyeballs don't roll around?

Still watching?Still watching?It's ready to stare till when!

"Hello, Senior Brother An."

Brother?

Who is your brother!It was quite fast.

Yuan Rui ground his molars, feeling unhappy for no reason, and before he could make a sound to remind him of his existence, Master Wang at the door continued.

"Zhao'an, you are too modest, who doesn't know your ability?"

"We often joke with your master. The blessings of eight lifetimes of cultivation have given you such a precious apprentice. His own son is a bit short, but you can do something."

"..."

Yuan Rui retracted the foot he had just stepped forward.

The tight lips touched the wound at the corner of his mouth, and he remained silent like a deflated ball with a trace of pain on it.

He was 'fully armed' today, and Master Wang obviously didn't realize that he was here, so he was able to tell the truth along with it.

Falling into Yuan Rui's ears was a bit hurtful, but I couldn't find any faults.

It has always been like this.

Lu Zhaoan is the cloud in the sky, but he is the mud in the ground.

It was never him who set off Lu Zhaoan's excellence, but Lu Zhaoan's existence made him even darker.

Yuan Rui was facing Lu Zhaoan's back, so he didn't know that the other party restrained his kind smile the moment he heard Master Wang's comparison.

In the next second, I don't know which shop assistant with a broken mouth made a sound.

"Master Wang, our Mr. Yuan Xiao is also here today."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Master Wang finally recognized Yuan Rui who was fully equipped with a peaked cap, sunglasses, and a mask, and a rare embarrassment appeared on his old face.

He didn't have any malice towards Yuan Rui, a young junior, and he only wanted to praise Lu Zhao'an, and he just said that sentence just by the way.

Zhong Xiu changed the subject aloud, "Brother Zhao'an, is it convenient for you to take a look at the small work I brought today?"

The store manager also helped ease the atmosphere, "It's been a long time since I saw Mr. Lu explaining the sculpture on site. Since everyone is here today, Mr. Lu will show us the staff again?"

Yuan Rui walked out of the rest area at the front desk and walked out of the store without saying a word.

When Lu Zhaoan passed by, he was stopped by the other party, "Xiao Rui, where are you going?"

Yuan Rui glanced at Zhong Xiu, who Master Wang said was 'somewhat aura', "You and your junior brother should have a good discussion, the store is too stuffy, I'll go out to get some air, you are busy."

After speaking, he quickly left the shop without looking back.

Lu Zhao'an looked at Master Wang, who was regarded as an 'elder' in front of him, and remembered what he had promised a few days ago, so he had to suppress the urge to chase him out.

He looked at Zhong Xiu in front of him, and returned to a business-like tone, "Bring me the work, I'll take a look."

Yesterday afternoon, when he saw the scratches on Yuan Rui's fingers, he guessed that the other party must be practicing jade carving behind everyone's back.

Speaking of which, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to teach Yuan Rui again, but he didn't expect to make the other party so unhappy by being careless.

"Brother Zhao'an, this..."

As soon as Zhong Xiu handed over his work, Lu Zhaoan interrupted him lightly, "Zhong Xiu, you can call me by my name or call me Mr. Lu like they do."

"In our industry, seniority calls teachers, unless my master accepts a new apprentice, otherwise, I, Lu Zhao'an, have one and only one junior in my life, Yuan Rui."

"This senior brother can only be called by him."

A tough tone without any discussion, but hidden a trace of exclusive gentleness that cannot be described.

"..."

Zhong Xiu was startled, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Outsiders have said that Lu Zhao'an is good at talking, so why is he so tough on his side?

After hearing this, Master Wang on the side changed his expression slightly and recognized it——

What Lu Zhaoan said in the first half of the sentence is correct, Lu Zhaoan is not his apprentice, and Zhong Xiu really didn't need to mess up the 'teacher'.

In other words, he accidentally brought up Yuan Rui when he spoke just now, he made a mistake first, and it is reasonable for Lu Zhaoan, a senior brother, to protect his shortcomings.

Master Wang nodded and said, "Yuan Rui is lucky to have a senior brother like you."

Lu Zhao'an didn't refute, but just glanced outside the shop, even though Yuan Rui was nowhere to be seen, "... I'm lucky to have him."
