Eighteen. If you wait idle.

By the time Hou Yan finished solving the rough stone, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon.Hou Qi had almost dealt with the affairs of his own emerald mine, and Li Siheng was fine. After a little discussion, the two decided to bring everyone back.

Hou Yan put the small piece of jade that he unwrapped in a small box, and put it solemnly in the pocket on his right hand, and followed Hou Qi into the car for the return trip.

Hou Qi just found it interesting to see his younger brother holding the small piece of emerald.That kid grew up in the pile of rough stones. Although he didn't have much interest in rough stones, he had been influenced by his ears and eyes, and he had seen a lot of good things.She has always looked clean, where was there such a precious moment.

"Yo, little Jiuer, look at your unpromising appearance. If you don't know, you might think it's a boy with a flat head who is wearing a ring to propose to a girl." Seeing Hou Qi smiling, but keeping serious all the time, Qi Mo thought to himself Turn around, and start teasing Hou Jia instead.Sure enough, the sullen man just now laughed unceremoniously when he heard his younger brother being teased.

Hou Jia held back his mouth, if he couldn't see what Qi Mo had in mind for Hou Qi, then it would be useless to read his tens of gigabytes of novels.Moreover, Hou Yan could tell that one of these two people was beaten to death and the other pretended not to know and wasted his time.

"Qi Mo..." Li Siheng sat in the back seat with Hou Jia. At this moment, he helped Hou Jia fasten his seat belt as if he was doing it, and then said to Qi Mo in a cold voice, "If you don't drive well, get off." The driver changed cars and squeezed into the car that Hou Qi was sitting in.

"Deling. Look, you are all right." Qi Moxu helped his sunglasses, raised the corners of his mouth in thanks, and skillfully started the car.Over the years, he traveled all over the world, and for some reason, he came up with a Beijing accent, which was very authentic.

Qi Mo concentrated on driving, and the remaining three men were not talkative, so until Qi Mo drove the car on the highway, no one in the car spoke.

The three of them were thinking about their own thoughts, but none of them found such silence uncomfortable.But Qi Mo couldn't bear it any longer. There were very few cars on the highway, so he simply held the steering wheel with one hand, and took out a thin tin box from his left trouser pocket with the other hand.

Scarred and callused fingers pressed a button on the side of the tin, and the tin box popped open.Qi Mo picked up a cigarette from the corner of his mouth, closed the box with a "snap", and handed it to Hou Qi, "Young Master, would you like one?"

Hou Qi shook his head.Qi Mo didn't take it seriously, and threw the tin box to Li Siheng again, "Old Li, accompany me to smoke one." Then Qi Mo looked at the rearview mirror inside the car, and smiled at Li Siheng, revealing a white mouthful. Tooth "Little Jiu'er hasn't grown up yet, so stop smoking."

In order to keep his hands steady, Hou Yan naturally pays attention to his own health.He has always avoided tobacco and alcohol that affect the heart and lung function.So when Qi Mo said that he didn't grow up, Hou Jia automatically blocked Qi Mo.

Hou Yan could only murmur in secret thoughts, this behavior of offending his mother's family before catching up with his brother, is he trying to die, right?

"Are you used to the smell of cigarettes?" Li Siheng took out a cigarette from the tin box, but he didn't rush to light it, but turned his head to ask Hou Jia.

Hou Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.He is not a hypocritical person, nor does he use his own standard of conduct as the code of conduct for others.So, he doesn't smoke, but he doesn't mind the people around him smoking.Moreover, in his opinion, there is nothing wrong with men smoking, and there is nothing to blame.

In other words, there is no need to ask others.Except, of course, if there are women around.

Li Siheng did this, but Hou Yan didn't find it annoying.Probably the man did it too naturally, as if the way he and Hou Yan get along with each other should be like this from birth.

Li Siheng saw Hou Yan shaking his head before he lit the cigarette in his hand.The way he smokes is a little different from other people. Instead of holding the cigarette between the index finger and middle finger, he uses his thumb and index finger to form a circle, pinches the end of the filter tip, and gathers the remaining fingers in the palm of his hand.

This is probably the only habit left to Li Siheng in his previous life.Hou Jia also smoked in his previous life, but Hou Jia adopted this method of smoking because he was afraid that the tobacco would turn his fingers yellow.In this life, Li Siheng was ridiculed by his teammates because of such a strange smoking posture in the army. It's not that he never thought about changing it, but when he saw the yellowed fingers of the veterans around him, Li Siheng gave up decisively. the idea.

What the army taught Li Siheng was that if he was ridiculed, he could return it with his fist.If you change yourself because of the ridicule of others, that is the most stupid and incompetent behavior.

However, he has been involved in the business field for these years, and there are always some cigarettes that cannot be pushed away.At this time, it seemed a little embarrassing to smoke in that strange posture.For a long time, Li Siheng could only choose to use a normal posture when smoking in front of people, and then go back and wash his hands repeatedly.

It's also really troublesome, and I'm not sure if washing my hands will help.So when discussing business, Li Siheng tried not to smoke if he could.

Li Siheng would smoke comfortably only when he was around people he knew very well.

Hou Yan looked at Li Siheng's smoking posture, and slightly bent the corners of his eyes where no one else could see.

The contents of the first three days of the opening of the handicap are similar, but some rough stones are displayed according to the quality and price for anyone to choose.But regular customers all understand that the real high-quality rough stones will never be sold within these three days.Excellent rough stones are to be auctioned at a later auction.

Hou Yan looked at the rough stone market for two days, and took a good look at the rough stones in the field, but he didn't make any more moves.On the third day, he took leave of absence and stayed alone in the hotel.

Hou Qi thought it was because he was tired from shopping these days, so when Hou Yan proposed to stay in the hotel for a day and not go out, he quickly agreed.

Hou Yan didn't explain much.In the empty hotel, he took out the set of jade grinding stones that Li Siheng gave him from his locked suitcase.

The emerald he unearthed from the rough that day was a piece of blue water that turned green.This kind of texture and size is very suitable for grinding an interface.But if you only grind a ring surface.However, it would be a bit of a waste to grind out only one ring surface.

Because such a color is really rare, and there is no trace of flaws.The whole emerald was held in the palm of Hou Yan's hand, as if holding a deep blue lake in his hand.So Hou Yan wasted a lot of thinking and thinking, and never wasted a single bit.

In the end, he decided to grind a ring face, and then produce a cigarette holder.

He marked the size and divided the whole piece of blue water jade into two.After thinking about it, Hou Yan decided to make the precept noodles first.The surface of the ring is not just simply grinding the jade to make it smooth and round.Instead, it is necessary to calculate the angle to show the crystal and roundness of the jade material to the maximum extent.

It is precisely because of this that there is no absolute draft for the ring face, and it needs to be constantly adjusted by the jade carving master according to the condition of the jade material during the grinding process.

It's just a fingernail-sized grain of noodles, but waiting for it took up the whole morning.When he stretched his stiff waist and spine, he suddenly realized that he had been sitting at the table for four hours.

However, Hou Yan knew that at this moment, his body was exhausted, but his spirit was very excited.

In order to keep his hands in the best condition, after putting away the finished ring noodles, after waiting for a hasty lunch, he forced himself to take a nap.

Taking out the remaining material, Hou Jia first hollowed out the center of it and repaired it into a jade tube shape.Then, he took out the ink pen and drew carefully on it.Unlike the past who relied on proficiency and casualness, this time, Hou Yan was extra cautious.

On the one hand, the difficulty of the cigarette holder is relatively high, which is a challenge to his skills.Secondly, he was somewhat selfish, he wanted to give this cigarette holder to Li Siheng.

Hou Yan asked himself that he was not a careful person, but from a few short encounters, he could see Li Siheng's embarrassment in smoking in front of others.Not knowing what it was like in his heart, and by chance, such a well-shaped emerald was opened, so Hou Yan decided to make a cigarette holder and give it to Li Siheng.

Thank you for taking care of me these days.Hou Yan said to himself silently.

In fact, Hou Yan didn't intend to carve any overly complicated patterns on the cigarette holder, because he always felt that this man had a laid-back taste, a kind of indifference after all the prosperity.Therefore, if there are too many complicated carvings, it is not suitable for him.

Therefore, Hou Jia chose the simplest lettering.He carved "Fu" in seal script in the negative, and "Jiu" in seal script in Yang.Because the hairpin is used in Xiaozhuan, the combination of the two characters has a very picturesque flavor.

For jade carvers, engraving a few characters is the simplest homework, and it is no big deal.But what is rare is that after the center of the jade material is hollowed out, it becomes very thin, and it is very difficult to engrave it on top of it.There is no extra material to try out when you are waiting, so you must be careful and careful.

Just these two simple words made Hou Jia from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm.There was no moving place for more than six hours.When the last cut was made, a drop of sweat hanging on Hou Jia's chin finally fell down.

The cigarette holder has not been polished, and the ring face has not been inlaid.After thinking about it, Hou Yan decided to find a local jade shop tomorrow and finish the finishing work together.Before returning to China, being able to send these two things out can be regarded as an end to Hou Jia's worries.

Hou Yan has some obsessive-compulsive disorder in this aspect. The completed work must be handed over to the buyer as soon as possible, the sooner the better, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, finding a suitable jade shop has become a top priority for Hou Jia.

But now, he is really tired.Since he was reborn, he has been pampered and pampered a lot, and it's really been a long time since Hou Jia has been so tired.Put away the things, clean up the jadeite powder on the table, and put away the jade rollers one by one, Hou Jia didn't even care about dinner, and fell into a deep dream.

When Hou Qi came back, it was already midnight, because for the auction a few days later, he led the Hou family to hold a meeting until now.However, even so, when he returned to the hotel, he was not in a hurry to go back to his room, but went to the waiting room to have a look first.

Looking at his younger brother's dark and sweet sleeping face, Hou Qi smiled and closed the door gently.

Chinese lanterns.Beginning.
