Old Master Chen was sitting at the desk in his study. On the table was a Ru kiln celadon washbasin. The color of the washbasin was as blue as the cloudless sky, with fine "crab claw pattern" cracks on it.
"After the rain, the sky is clear and the clouds are broken", "Thousands of peaks are covered with green waves."
Old Master Chen looked at it obsessively, with pain in his eyes. When he thought about the brush was going to leave him, he wished he could go with it.
Chen Guochang pushed open the door of the study and saw the old man staring at the brush washer in a daze. He lowered his eyes and sat opposite the old man.
"Dad, don't be so hesitant to sacrifice your life over your wealth. If you lose your life, won't you lose everything?"
Old Master Chen said angrily, "How dare you say that? If you hadn't caused such a big disaster, would I have to clean up after you?"
"Dad, what you said is wrong. If I hadn't worked so hard to bring money home, would you have lived such a comfortable life? You've enjoyed this blessing, and now when something goes wrong, you want to hide away?"
"You little bastard, if I want to shrink, can you get that woman here?"
"So what's going on? Has the exchange been announced over there?" Chen Guochang was still anxious. Only the person whose flesh is cut knows the pain. The old director had a talk with him today, and the investigation team will be here in the next two days. If he can't think of a solution, he will have no choice but to run away.
Of course, if he wanted to run away, he would run away alone and would not take his family with him.
"Ah, that woman is also greedy. After seeing the list, she almost went in. She has already agreed to the conditions over there and agreed to send her Five Fortune Color Jade over. However, the item is in Hong Kong City. I asked her to negotiate with them and see if she can give them the pen wash in exchange for the item first."
"You'd better urge the Ji family to mail the things over quickly. You've seen what that woman is like. If they agree to the exchange, this thing will definitely never be mailed over.
Yuan Tingchuan is not a fool, how could he agree to do such a thing? Let them mail the things quickly."
Old Master Chen nodded. This made sense. He didn't need to bother discussing it. It seemed that discussing it would not work.
But what if?
Du Ruo sat on the sofa, holding the Chenghua Doucai Fish and Lotus Bowl in her hands, feeling overwhelmed. The workmanship was exquisite, and the clay was delicate. She must have gone through so many ups and downs to get to where she is today. She said softly, "Let's go home."
The next day, when Bai Minhua went to find Du Ruo, he discussed giving her the pen wash first.
"Your uncle is waiting for help. I'll trade the brush washer for something with you. I'll bring the jade in two days."
"Mom, please don't tease me. If I change today, I might never see your jade again in my life."
Bai Minhua's eyes widened with anger. Why is this unlucky child so unlovable?
When Bai Minhua came back to reply, although it was within Mr. Chen's expectations, he still couldn't help being disappointed.
Three days later, the piece of Five Fortune Colors top-grade jadeite finally landed on the market. The transaction was carried out quickly without any further ado from either party.
Chen Guochang finally got the Chenghua Doucai Fish and Lotus Bowl he had been longing for. He rushed to the museum overnight. The moment he came out of the museum, Chen Guochang breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God, he finally got it.
Du Ruo placed the Ru kiln celadon wash basin and the five-color top-grade jadeite he had exchanged for on the coffee table.
She sat beside them and looked at the two objects, unable to let go of them.
Ling Yun exclaimed in exaggerated amazement: "Wow, Ruoruo, you've become rich! I only have one Ru kiln at home. My grandfather treats it like a treasure and won't even let me play with it."
"Bah, Ling Xiaosan, I'm warning you, you are not allowed to play with my pen washer, or I'll spank you."
"Why are you so stingy? I'm just playing with it for a while, how can I break it?"
Han Zhe and Yuan Shurui were lying on the coffee table, looking at the Five Fortune Color Jade in amazement. It was really beautiful, and each color was so even. Not only was it highly transparent, it also looked festive.
Ji Bailin had no interest in jadeite. It originally belonged to his family and he had seen it hundreds of times. However, this Ru kiln brush washer was quite interesting.
He studied the "crab claw pattern" with great interest. This pattern is very interesting. It looks messy, but it contains a lot of secrets.
Yuan Tingchuan had no interest in either of these two things. His family was in the jade antique business, so he didn't want to see too many of these things.
Ling Yun and Ji Bailin played with the two children, while Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan were whispering to each other.
"They took the things, didn't they? Didn't you send someone to follow and check?"
"What are you looking at? Chen Guochang is even more anxious than you are to get it back home. As long as it can be returned to its original owner, the form doesn't matter. I'll 'donate' those things back in a while."
"How much benefit do you think the Chen family gave Ms. Bai? Why did they keep her so busy?"
Du Ruo knew her own mother too well, so it was impossible for her to work for nothing.
Yuan Tingchuan sipped his tea from a covered bowl and said coldly, "No matter what they give me, there's definitely something wrong with it. Think about what Chen Guochang does."
What does Chen Guochang do? He makes counterfeit goods, right?
Du Ruo was surprised. Her mother had been playing hawk her whole life, and now she was fooled? Du Ruo laughed. Poor Ms. Bai...
At the same time, Han Ming was also negotiating business with Smith on behalf of the Qu family.
"You don't need me to explain too clearly. You already know the origins of this batch of goods. My father-in-law is not in a position to discuss this with you. As the saying goes, it's best not to pass it on to others. After we leave today, let's pretend we don't know each other. If you're interested, keep the goods. If not, I'll find someone else."
"If you accept this price, we can continue our discussion. Just as you said, I won't mention this matter again."
"The price you offer is too low. This box of toys is all top-quality. Even if it's dirt cheap, you'll at least give me one, right?"
Mr. Smith lowered his head and thought for a long time. He said, "I don't want to ask where the things came from. I will pay a maximum of five million, no more."
Han Ming kept cursing this foreigner in his heart. He was too cruel. If things went well, one or two of the items here would be worth this price. It was not even as cheap as cabbage. However, since things had come to this point, he could not keep the things in his hands. It would be safer to exchange them for real money.
"I agree to the price you mentioned, but I have one request. I want cash. My father-in-law has instructed that this matter must not be known to anyone. Do you understand?"
"No problem. You don't want to leave any traces. I understand."
Han Ming took five million in cash and went to a bank in the neighboring province overnight. After a whole day and night, he finally got the job done.
He hurried back to the village, dealt with the matter, and took Qu Xin to find Qu's father.
