Seven's secret

After a week of negotiations on Bai Yan's disclosure of the client's information, he finally signed a compensation contract according to the wishes of the client, Murong Qing.The contract requires "Baifa" to complete the decoration work of the client's other apartment in the urban area within a limited date, and exempt all design fees, labor costs and part of material costs.

Both Murong Lu and Zhang Yu have to go to work, and there are no young and middle-aged people who are suitable to supervise their work at Zhang Yu's house, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The one without any suspense still fell on Murong Qing's shoulders.Murong Qing originally intended to entrust Bai Fa with the decoration of the primary sixth wedding room, and originally wanted to wait until the small courtyard was handed over to see the effect, but as soon as Bai Yan leaked the secret, Murong Qing suddenly felt that there was no need to think about other things. He paid compensation, and directly furnished Xiao Liu's house for him, which saved him trouble.

When Murong Qing took Xu Yongcheng's design drawing to ask the young couple for their opinions, Zhang Yu was really surprised and then moved.As a native of Binhai, how could Zhang Yu not know about Baifa and Xu Yongcheng? Murong Qing not only took care of their wedding room and wedding expenses, but also found such a good decoration company for them. It is a question of whether it can pass.

Zhang Yu went home and told her family about it. Zhang's parents and the old lady were also quite sad. They all said that they had seen too many scenes of brothers and sisters competing for family property. It is rare to see such a selfless uncle who plans for his brother and sister-in-law. .It can be seen that the two brothers of the Murong family are kind people.He also said that Zhang Yu is blessed. Judging from the situation, even if the two brothers get married and live their own lives in the future, if they really need help, brotherhood can be counted on.

At first, Xiao Liu only agreed to let his younger brother pay them the down payment, and they wanted to pay back the rest with a loan.Anyway, the income of the two of them can afford a house.But this proposal was vetoed by Murong Qing, and his reasons were ready-made, since he had prepared the money to buy a house for Xiao Liu, why bother to borrow it from the bank, the interest on the house loan is so high, it doesn't mean that he has to pay a lot of money ?What a waste of money.

"I really want my brothers to settle accounts clearly, let's start after you two get married." Murong lightly patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder to comfort him, "Now you and I are still in the same family, what are you doing so clearly?" Murong Qing thought to himself , If it's not for them all to live a good life, what's the point of his busy making money?

Thinking deeply, Murong Qing lived a very depressed life before, allowing others to bully and belittle him.The pressure warped his self-esteem and inferiority complex, making them equally sensitive and intense.To be able to do something for his loved ones, to be needed by him, and to be recognized by him, to Murong Qing, it not only means that he has enough ability, but more importantly, it includes a spiritual level. Symbolic meaning-he is also an independent person, not a plaything attached to anything.He can also live a normal life like everyone else, earn money, and help those around him.

He knew that Xiao Liu would definitely understand this.

This is like a ceremony, only with Xiao Liu's cooperation and acceptance can it be truly completed.

This point, Xiao Liu is equally clear.So although he couldn't bear it, he just protested a little and accepted Murong Qing's arrangement completely.He knew that it was not easy for Xiao Qi to make money, but some things were obviously more important than making money itself.As long as Xiaoqi wishes, he will do it.Their days are still long, and those feelings that moved each other should be cherished in the bottom of my heart, and there is no need to rush to return them.

Xiao Liu said with emotion: "You have already set up the house yourself. When you get married, what else do you think I can do for you? Xiao Qi, do you think my brother is too useless? What? Everything depends on you?"

Murong pursed his lips lightly and smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly, there was a glint of water in his eyes, clear and moving, "Brother, I probably won't get married in the future."

Xiao Liu didn't make a sound, but his heart sank slightly, with a feeling that it really was so.

Murong Qing has been hesitating about this matter for a long time. He didn't know how to say it before, but now that the words have come to this point, he should make it clear once and for all, "Brother, Pei Rong said he wanted to chase me...I want to try try."

Xiao Liu was slightly startled, "Old man Pei's grandson? That policeman?"

Murong bit her lip lightly and nodded.

Xiao Liu looked at him, feeling a little stuffy in his chest.They are twins, and they share the same mind with each other. He can naturally feel that although his younger brother was a little nervous when he said these words, the desire was very strong.It's definitely not as simple as just trying.

Xiao Liu was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Our family is just us brothers, so we don't need to consider any parents' opinions. As for me, I should have children in the future, and I don't have to worry about losing offspring. So I can't think of anything There is a reason to interfere with you." Besides, his younger brother had a difficult life before, how could he be willing to obstruct something he really wanted to try?

"As long as you live a good life." Xiao Liu thought for a while and then said: "It's no big deal if he treats you badly, my brother is so good, I'm sure he can find better ones. So, don't be afraid of anything. "

Xiao Liu was a little uncertain whether he could express his meaning clearly in these incoherent words, but Murong Qing obviously understood, he stretched out his arms to hug Xiao Liu with red eyes, and when he let go, his expression changed He returned to his usual indifference, "I know."

Xiao Liu sighed secretly in his heart, and then smiled again, "Okay, we don't need to talk about what we have, when the house is finished, I'll treat you, and you bring Pei Rong."

Xiao Qi nodded and said, "Okay."

The custom-made tableware for He Kuan's restaurant was later added some novel gadgets in bits and pieces at the request of Mr. Wu, and it was not finished until the end of May.According to the feedback from the restaurant, the reputation is not bad.During this time, the heads of two more restaurants contacted "Six or Seven", expressing their intention to customize tableware.When Murong Qing brought a set of snacks platters designed by himself to He Kuan, He Kuan even joked that he wanted Murong Qing to pay him some promotional fees.

Murong Qing shoved the box into his arms angrily, "Hey, promotion fee. I made it for you for free."

He Kuan's eyes suddenly lit up.The restaurant will put out some small snacks such as dried fruit and candied fruit to entertain the guests before the dishes are officially served. They used small round plates to serve them in the past and wide. Although there is nothing wrong with it, there is If you compare, you will find that it is better to use the snack platter specially designed by Murong Qing.This set of platters imitates the pattern of jigsaw puzzles, which not only meets the visual and practical needs, but also adds a lot of fun.Guests who are waiting for meals can play a few together and relive the fun of playing jigsaw puzzles when they were young.

He Kuan took these large and small plates and studied them over and over for a while, "You really have ideas."

Murong smiled lightly but did not answer.

He Kuan said again: "I just wanted to find you these two days. Do you know about Kaiwei's spring auction?"

Murong Qing's heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong?"

He Kuan put down the things in his hand, turned around and went out to get a brochure back, "Look at it. It is said that there will be many good things in this year's spring auction."

Murong Qing opened the brochure and looked at it. Apart from some explanations about the auction house, there were indeed many photos and text introductions of the auction items.He Kuan turned to the last page with his hand, pointed to the photo in the middle and said, "My old man has taken a fancy to this set, what do you think?"

The photo with wide fingers is a pair of blue and white goblets with engraved peony patterns and engraved lotuses.The mouth of the cup is extravagant, the abdomen is curved, the protruding joints are high, the feet are skimmed outside, and the inside is hollow.Judging from the picture, the blue and white color is calm and the brush strokes are bold and powerful, which is really a good thing.

"How?" He Kuan asked him, "It's from the Yuan Dynasty."

Murong stared lightly at the photo, shrugged noncommittally, "It looks like something from the Yuan Dynasty."

He said "like" instead of "yes", and He Kuan immediately noticed, "Why, is there a problem?"

Murong shook his head lightly, he is not a god, he can be sure if someone's things are real or not just by looking at a photo?What he was suspicious of was the origin of this thing.When he was in Murong's old house, one year he followed Murong He to Linjiang City to deal with some business matters. He once stopped by to visit a friend who had business contacts. There was such a pair of Yuan blue and white students in that friend's house. cup.Murong Qing was very interested in this pair of things at that time, and held them in his hands and looked at them carefully for a long time.But those who can do business with Murong's family should also have some family background, so how can they be willing to take out such a collection so easily?Or, this pair of stem cups is not the pair that Murong Qing has seen before?

But would there be so many stem cups in the Yuan Dynasty?

Murong Qing himself was also a little puzzled.

He Kuan discussed with him, "If you have time, please take a walk with me, and give me the palm of your hand."

Murong Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay." Although he didn't really want to have contact with the Murong family, he was still very interested in this auction.Especially this pair of blue and white stem cups.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "With you following me, I feel more at ease. If I really buy something wrong later, my old man should scold me again."

Murong Qing knew that He Kuan himself was not very interested in antiques, but his father and several uncles were particularly interested in collecting.In particular, Kaiwei's Spring and Autumn auctions are a must-see.

"Doesn't your family have its own appraiser?" Murong Qing was curious, "Why do you still want to drag me over to join in the fun?"

"Why do I feel that those two old men are not as reliable as you?" He Kuan tilted his head and thought for a while, and he also felt a little confused, "Hey, really, I seem to trust you very much. It's not you who gave me What kind of drugs are you taking?"

Sitting next to him, Mr. Wu looked over and over at the assortment in his hands, and when he heard them talking about things like antique appraisal, he said to Murong Qing: "Hey, Xiao Qi, my cousin has a pair of pots at home, they are black, he I keep saying it’s a treasure, but I can’t tell what it is, if you have time, you can help me take a look, appraise it, and see if it’s worth it.”

Murong smiled lightly and said, "Of course, there's nothing wrong with Mr. Wu. He's always on call, or just make an appointment and ask him to bring things to my shop."

Mr. Wu happily agreed.

Murong Qing asked He Kuan again, "Your parents should be familiar with Kaiwei's situation, right?"

"They're all in business, and I've never heard of them before." He Kuan said, "Kaiwei was initially established as a partnership between the Cao family, the Bai family, and the Yunnan Li family. Hang up the relationship and set up a semi-official identity."

Murong slightly frowned, "How did I hear that there is Murong's family?"

He Kuan shook his head, "I don't know the details, but if there is Murong's family, it should be infiltrated through Cao's family. Aren't they in-laws?"

This statement is similar to Murong Qing's guess.

"The relationship between the Bai family and the Cao family is good?"

"Benefits," He Kuan's expression seemed very casual, as if such things were commonplace, "These two are the largest jewelry merchants in Binhai, and neither can swallow the other, so they simply joined hands to share the market equally. The family relationship of the Bai family It's relatively simple, but the Cao family is more complicated. Isn't Murong Jin's mother the daughter of the Cao family? There was only one male in the Cao family in her generation, and Murong Jin called him uncle. His uncle originally only had Cao Mingzhu and Cao Mingzhu. Minghe has two children, but in the end, they brought back a boy named Cao Mingxuan to the Cao family. As far as I know, Bo Yan has a good relationship with this illegitimate son, but he doesn't have any deep friendship with Cao Mingzhu and his brother."

Murong slightly frowned, "What about Murong's family? Where do they stand?"

"It should be Cao Minghe," He Kuan thought for a while, "Murong Jin and his mother often live in Cao's house, and he also spends a lot of time with the siblings, so it's normal for him to support them."

Murong nodded lightly.It turned out that Bo Yan and Murong Jin had differences from the beginning, so he didn't have to worry about these two bad guys colluding together.

Murong Jin's helper, it's always good to have one less.

He Kuan asked him worriedly, "Then it's a deal, you can come with me on the day of the auction."

Murong nodded lightly and said, "No problem."

Murong Qing has to express his gratitude to He Kuan for disclosing so much private information to him.What's more, He Kuan is still his big customer.
