At 4 o'clock in the morning, Jiang Qiuyun woke up. She is also a monk, very energetic and does not need seven or eight hours of sleep.
After waking up, he lingered with Lu Cheng for a while, then got up to practice swordsmanship, and then practiced Wu Qin Xi and Wu Qi Gui Yuan Jue.
Lu Cheng took out the incense burner, recited the incantation, and exuded rich spiritual energy. He practiced in this environment and made very rapid progress.
Because he took the "Shenglong Pill" and the mulberry tree of the hibiscus tree, he reached the late stage of the second level of innateness and was not far from consummation.
Jiang Qiuyun's Qi of the five internal organs has also accumulated 60 to 70%, and she hopes to enter Xiantian in another year.
After breakfast, the two drove back to Daicheng.
Lu Cheng took out the rosewood, put it into a storage belt, and gave it to his father to deal with.
Lu Tianming is responsible for the management of both the furniture store and the spice store. Lu Cheng has never been to the store.
This time, he rented a large truck, hauled 10 tons of rosewood, and went to the furniture store with his father.
The furniture store is small, with only about ten people in total, but it is led by a senior carpenter in his fifties, who pays attention to fine carving and a fully mortise-and-tenon wooden structure without using a single nail.
Lu Cheng moved a table and two chairs from the store. The furniture had been polished but not painted.
Zhang Danian, a senior carpenter in the store, asked curiously: "We have well-painted furniture, why don't you choose it?"
Lu Cheng smiled slightly and said, "I don't like the smell of paint."
His cabin in another world lacked furniture. It would be too eye-catching if he brought beautifully painted tables and chairs. Even the unpainted tables and chairs seemed to him to be too delicately made. But since there were no nails or anything like that, it was still manageable.
Zhang Danian was full of praise for the newly arrived 10 tons of rosewood!
"This is an authentic huanghuali with bright colors and clear and beautiful texture. Such thick wood is really rare! Did you know? Even for small materials, the current price is 18 million per ton! For large materials like this, Even if it costs 50 million a ton, people are rushing to get it! Mr. Lu, where did you get all this wood?"
The Mr. Lu he asked about was Lu Tianming. He was just a carpenter and didn't care about national affairs. He didn't know what Lu Cheng did. In his eyes, Lu Cheng was just an ordinary young man.
Lu Tianming pretended to be mysterious and said: "The source of the wood is a secret."
Zhang Danian laughed and said: "It is said that huanghuali is a national first-class protected plant. It can grow so big that it is equivalent to the king of trees! Not to mention that it cannot be cut down on Hainan Island in China, even in Vietnam, it is not allowed to cut down, right? I I just don’t understand, where did you get the wood?”
Rosewood is one of the five famous trees. It is divided into Hainan huanghuali, Vietnamese huanghuali, Indonesia and Myanmar. The varieties are slightly different, but they are all precious woods. Wild Hainan Huanghuali is produced on Hainan Island, with Baisha, Dongfang, Changjiang, Ledong, Sanya and Haikou being the main production areas. They generally grow on hillsides below 350 meters above sea level. The precious Hainan huanghuali mainly grows in the Li area, among which the Hainan huanghuali in Changjiang Wangxia area is the most precious.
Lu Tianming waved his hand: "Don't say it, don't say it."
Zhang Danian could only suppress his doubts and immerse himself in work.
Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun stayed in Daicheng for two days, and then drove to Suzhou. Because the winter in Quancheng is a bit cold, the climate in Suzhou is slightly warmer.
According to Jiang Qiuyun, if you still feel cold, go to Yunnan and build a courtyard to live in!
Lu Cheng had a very good impression of Cangshan and Erhai Lake in Yunnan, and it was close to the origin of jade. He could go shopping when he was bored, so he fully agreed with her proposal.
It turns out that the average temperature in Suzhou in winter is 2℃~9℃. In recent years, the temperature has increased by 2 degrees due to a bright runic fireball in the sky. The average daytime temperature in winter is 11°C, so just wear a jacket or suit and a light sweater.
Moreover, Jiang Qiuyun likes that the vegetation in Suzhou is still green in winter. If we were in Quancheng, there would only be winter wheat in the fields and green grass on the ditch slopes sheltered from the wind, while the pines and cypresses on the mountains would be pale black.
Qiucheng Garden, after two months apart, is still quiet and quiet.
The 4.5-acre garden is approximately square with a side length of 54 meters. Except for one villa, flowers, plants and trees are planted in other areas. Professional gardeners take care of it, and housekeeper Liu Qingcheng comes to inspect it every day.
Of course, spending money is inevitable. If you don’t have money, who will help you manage it?
Lu Cheng doesn't need to worry about any of this. Jiang Qiuyun earns a lot of money, but she doesn't know how to spend it.
Lu Cheng never asked her about her income. Even if he was short of money and wanted to invest more, he would not bother her because he was addicted to buying stocks. Once he got stuck in this thing, he would never finish it! No matter how rich you are, you can't buy all the stocks of thousands of companies!
The two of them settled down in Qiucheng Garden, feeling peaceful and peaceful.
In addition to practicing, Jiang Qiuyun was writing books, and when she was writing, she was in a happy mood, the heavenly orifices above her head opened, and spiritual energy fell from the sky and filled her internal organs. This was a special way of practicing.
In this state, her soul and mind were very active, her thoughts were flowing like a fountain, her index finger was beating on the keyboard, and paragraphs of text appeared on the screen like running water.
For her, writing is like weaving a dream, which is very relaxing and enjoyable, but revising it is more painful. Especially the revision over and over again, compressing 3 million words into more than 2 million words, this is too torture!
Lu Cheng said to her: "I suggest you find a personal assistant to help you revise your article."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled bitterly: "It's easy to hire someone, but they can only do text correction. I have to do the serious revision myself."
"It would be nice to help you with the text correction. At least it can save some time."
"Well, you have a point."
She contacted her senior sister Luo Yingjing and asked her if she knew any junior classmates who were willing to do part-time work as word correction.
Luo Yingjing, a doctoral candidate who also works as a teaching assistant, answered the question for her.
A few hours later, Luo Yingjing recommended a female student who was a sophomore in the Literature Department of Qilu University, named "Yao Jing". She was from Zhejiang, from an ordinary family, studied hard, and had good writing skills.
Jiang Qiuyun added Yao Jing's QQ and video chatted with her for a while.
Yao Jing is 20 years old, with a dignified appearance and a gentle personality. She said that she likes to write poetry and sent Jiang Qiuyun a modern poem and a seven-character ancient poem.
Jiang Qiuyun looked at it and praised: "Your poems are well written. Keep up the hard work and you will have a bright future. Can you tell me why you like writing poems?"
Yao Jing chuckled and said, "Because my ancestor had a poet, Yao Xie, have you heard of it?"
"I've heard of it. Is this considered a family background?" Jiang Qiuyun casually checked on the computer.
Yao Xie (1805-1864) wrote more than 1,000 words and 12,000 poems. His ancestral home is Zhuji, Zhejiang. His grandfather Yao Yun wrote a collection of poems, and his father Yao Cheng was a scholar in the county. His family came from a poor family. Yao Xie once said in his autobiography that "the fifth generation Confucian style is suitable for being frugal, simple and sincere." Although Yao Xie was highly talented and knowledgeable, he was very unhappy in the examination room and failed to place in the examination three times.
Yao Jing said that she was willing to help correct the text, and she had both time and energy.
Writing poetry is different from writing. Writing, especially the Internet, is purely kung fu. Sitting in front of the computer every day is like playing mahjong, sitting for most of the day. Writing poetry requires inspiration. If you have inspiration, you can write it in a while. If you don't have inspiration, you will rack your brains. It's no use either.
In order to make money, Yao Jing also works as a tutor on weekdays. Reviewing manuscripts can open up ideas and improve literary standards, which is much better than being a tutor.
Jiang Qiuyun made an agreement with her to correct the text for a fee and provide revision suggestions.
Her "Clouds Rising from the Sky Mountain" has been revised three times, but there is no guarantee that there are no typos.
She passed it to Yao Jing and asked her to read it one last time and identify any doubts or errors.
Jiang Qiuyun taught Yao Jing. How to download the review software and how to make a logo next to it.
Because this was the first time we collaborated and it was Sanxiu's article, she only asked Yao Jing to make the logo and not directly modify it.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Can you look at it carefully in a week?"
"no problem."
