Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

After saying that, Lu Zhimao took out a photo from his pocket and handed it forward.

Yun Liuyi took the photo and looked at the old man printed on it. He saw that the old man in the photo was skinny, with cloudy eyes. He was wearing an old man's vest whose original color could no longer be seen, a tattered pink shirt on the outside, and a pair of gray coarse cloth trousers covered with mud and dust.

As he looked at the old man in the photo, Lu Zhimao said, "Sir, this old man's mental state is not very good. Sometimes he is crazy and talking nonsense, and sometimes he is normal. What I just reported to you was what I asked when the old man was normal. In fact, before I finished asking, the old man suddenly went crazy and is still crazy now. I have arranged someone to take care of him. When he recovers, I may be able to get some new information."

Yun Liuyi put down the photo and leaned back in the chair. "Well, you bring the old man here and arrange two people to take care of him. No one is allowed to mistreat him. He is already over ninety years old, and half of his body is stuck in the soil. He won't live long. Let him enjoy his old age here. By the way, as soon as he is back to normal, ask him about Jinxiu Ruihua Cloth Shop."

"Yes, sir."

"Also, Jinxiu Ruihua Cloth Shop was so famous at that time, it must have made a lot of money, and there were many treasures hidden in the house. The Japanese went there and took the treasures for themselves, so someone must have successfully brought the treasures back. Find someone to evaluate our industries and see if there is anything that can quickly open up the Japanese market. Then take root there and investigate which Japanese family has Chinese things hidden in their home. While investigating, let the investigators learn about the history and culture of the mountain city and understand the characteristics and folk customs there."

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, it's okay, you can go down and rest." Yun Liuyi closed his eyes and waved his hand.

"Sir..." Lu Zhimao did not leave. He looked like he had something to say but was afraid to say it. His lips opened and closed but no sound came out.

"Is there anything else?" Hearing his hesitating, Yun Liuyi opened his eyes and looked at him.

Lu Zhimao blinked a few times quickly, and seeing that Yun Liuyi was in a good mood, he said, "Sir, do you still want to go to the meeting with the supplier Ono Kikushu in three days? If you don't want to go, can I arrange someone to go in your place?"

"Who is Ono Kikushu? The one selling soy sauce?"

"Yes, sir."

"No, I'm annoyed when I see Japanese people." Yun Liuyi waved his hand, "Please help me arrange it."

"Yes."

After Lu Zhimao left the study, Yun Liuyi sat alone in the study and smoked a cigarette before leaving. This time, no matter where Yu Ru turned the surveillance camera, he could not be seen. This meant that he went to a place without surveillance cameras.

So, Yu Ru turned off the computer that was watching the surveillance video, stopped recording the mobile phone that was recording the surveillance video, and turned it off and put it away.

By this time, she and Yun Jixing had finished their meal.

"Aru, I'll clean up the dishes and come over later." Yun Jixing stood up and reached out to pick up the clean dishes and stack them together.

Yu Ru nodded.

When Yunjixing came back, the two of them sat side by side on the marble armchair in front of the desk, ready to have a long talk. Before starting to talk about serious matters, Yu Ru gestured and asked, "Today I asked you to buy spicy noodles, did you buy them?"

"I bought it and put it in the car. Ah Ru, don't even think about it this week. I've hidden the spicy strips and will give them to you next week. You still have to take medicine now. Spicy, cold or icy food is not good for you. Didn't we agree on it? Take it once every two weeks, and you only ate half a pack the day before yesterday."

[Really? Why don’t I remember eating it?]

"Yes, really, I have evidence." Yun Jixing took out his mobile phone and tapped it back and forth with his fingers. Soon, a video in the mobile phone album automatically enlarged and started playing.

The protagonist in the video is Yu Ru, who sits in a frivolous position on a red sandalwood throne inlaid with a variety of precious stones and floral patterns, with her back leaning against the armrest, her feet resting on the other armrest, and typing away on a computer on her stomach. Next to her is a robot she made that looks like a broom, holding a pack of spicy noodles as big as a tire, serving her. She eats the spicy noodles handed to her by the robot while typing away on her computer, looking quite happy.

The video screen moved from far to near, and when it reached the closest point, the sound of Yunjixing appeared.

"Aru, in case you forget that you ate the spicy strips, I'm going to record this video as evidence. Give me the spicy strips and I'll help you eat them."

A hand stretched out in front of Yu Ru.

Yu Ru turned her head and looked towards the camera.

Here, the video ends.

Yun Jixing turned off his phone, put it away, and said, "Right, Aru, you've eaten, so you can't eat anymore. And today is the day to take medicine, so you can't eat anymore. Physical health and mental health are linked together, and you don't want to be unhappy and angry all the time, right? The most important thing is that you have to take care of your body first, then this won't happen."

Yu Ru nodded obediently, "Then I'll eat it next month."

She also wants to be healthy, and it would be best if she could fight two at once, so she wouldn't do anything rash. She likes to eat spicy noodles, but mainly because she thinks she won't lose her temper easily after eating them. If she has to take medicine, she can still endure those tempers in order to build a higher level of self.

After the episode of asking for spicy strips was over, the two of them hugged each other for a while before discussing their business.

Yu Ru was the first to suggest, "We need to return the two dogs to Yun Quan as soon as possible. I think he should have known that his two dogs were with us, but he was not in a hurry to return. I think there is a conspiracy. No matter what, the dogs must be returned to his home. We can no longer help him raise them."

Yun Jixing nodded slightly, "Well, in three days, Sister Junjun is going to hold a jewelry exhibition in Jicheng, and she invited me to go with you. Let's take the dog with us. This time, we have to give the dog to him no matter what."

[I gave you the information I found about Yun Liuyi and Yun Quan. Have you compiled anything? Is it useful?]

"Yes, it's very useful. Thanks to your information, we were able to discover in advance several conspiracies that Yun Liuyi wanted to plan." Yun Jixing held Yu Ru's hand and nodded.

"The information contained in that file is too extensive and confidential. We are only sorting it out with our family members and have not contacted anyone outside. Therefore, the sorting process is slow and we have not finished it yet. We have sorted out a large part of Yun Liuyi's bribery of officials and some bad things he did. We are temporarily planning to use the state to deal with it."

……………………I am the dividing line…………

A little knowledge about Yunjixing and Yu Ruzuo's openwork Ruyi cloud pattern inlaid marble armchair.

The protagonist this time is Yunshi.

The culture of appreciating and playing with stones has existed in my country since ancient times, and reached its peak during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Inlaying stones in furniture is one of the ways to appreciate them. Marble inlay is a very important technique in traditional Chinese furniture making, and is common in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Marble is also called marble. Most of the patterns of marble are gray and white, and these patterns are flexibly combined to form countless patterns. Sometimes those patterns look like waves in the sea of ​​clouds and flowing water, sometimes like undulating mountains in the distance, and sometimes like rivers and lakes, with the sky and water in one color. It is this characteristic of endless changes like clouds that makes it called marble. Marble is called marble because it is produced in Dali, Yunnan.

Inlaying marble into furniture, according to my understanding and experience, inlaying wood into stools will not make the stools or chairs more comfortable. This is just a conception that Chinese people like.

A small piece of marble, with its infinitely varied textures and natural blank space, can become a natural landscape ink painting. The combination of wood and stone is like a perfect match, which deeply demonstrates the beauty of humanity and the interest of nature. It is because marble can bring the special artistic conception that we Chinese people pay attention to into furniture that it is deeply sought after and loved by dignitaries and literati, and even became a tribute to the court.
