Alfes presents a delicate nanmu pipe, a white ivory mouthpiece, using a three-hundred-year-old briar root nodule as the main material, the mouthpiece and the handle are flush with the handle, and the thickness of the bowl is also equal.Such a rare material requires a very skilled master master to polish and process it.The material of bria reflects bright red and clear lines under the light, and its wood grain is fine and distinct, but such a piece of briar root nodules needs to go through more than 70 complex processes to make it into a bucket before it is formed.
(Note 1) There was once an interesting set of metaphors, cigarettes are like prostitutes, hastily solved, leaving no trace; Cigars are like mistresses, not only can be solved, but they can also be shown off in front of others, but the cost is huge, and the wealth is scattered; A pipe is like a wife, a one-time addition, a long-term maintenance, and a lifelong companion.
(Note 2) It can be seen that the owners of pipes are people with good taste and philosophers, and Alphes is such a person, a calm and elegant businessman.Yudecao felt as if he had seen this pipe somewhere, and suddenly remembered that he had met a man smoking a pipe outside the bar, and his figure slowly overlapped with Alphes's current appearance, and he realized that he had met it outside the Black Pepper Bar.If you look closely at the pipe, you can see that the wood grain on it actually forms a twisted and intertwined spiral pattern.This is a mark, shaped like three question marks revolving around a point, and also like a man in a cloak, hollow, incomparably empty, with a feeling that looking at this mark and his spirit is about to be sucked into the abyss of despair.At this time, Yudecao seemed to see the endless starry sky, the starry sky was vast and ethereal, and in the distant Pleiades star cluster, there was a crowned and yellow robe, which made a whisper that made the mind and soul tremble, but at the same time made people stare at its figure until death.The apparition in front of him was interrupted by the sound of Pvent's son Philip accidentally breaking a cup, and Yudecao found himself in a cold sweat, with fear and humility in his mind, and Yudecao actually felt like he wanted to give up his faith and worship the existence of the one in the starry sky, of course, such thoughts were only fleeting.With the sound of the cup cracking, Alfes silently put away the pipe in his hand.Pvent turned and walked in Philip's direction, and helped the servant to put away the fragments of the cup.At this time, no one noticed that Alfis quietly walked into Herman's study, put down a picture album and quietly left.Herman and Pvent strode over to the other side, and Herman raised his voice, "Oh, Mr.
Pwent, thank you, for saving us a piece of delicately made stained glass!"
You know, we Jews have a custom of breaking glass to get a blessing on important things. ”(Note 3) Others secretly laughed when they heard the voice, and Mr.
Herman's words not only alleviated the embarrassment of Philip's faux pas, but also showed his tactfulness and personal charm.Philip was embarrassed by Pvent's head and bowed, and Pvent whispered to Philip, "Apologize." ”Philip blushed shyly and said, "I'm sorry!
Mr.
Herman, I didn't mean to, I just watched the ladies on the field dance gracefully and was fascinated. ”Herman laughed and said to Provent, "Mr.
Provent, it seems that Philip has reached this age, and it is time to worry about his future marriage."
Ha, maybe you can take Philip to meet the ladies and ladies who are there, and look, Miss Jacina of the Wencht family is very cute over there. ”Pvent also responded with a smile, "Thank you for your generosity, and I won't say anything like compensation, which will only reduce your noble character."
In a few days, after our grocery store has counted the inventory, I will send you some good things from all over the world.Of course, it's not for free, haha, if you think it's good, you can promote it for our Pvent grocery store is the best reward. ”"That's it."
Herman responded, and the two cunning businessmen smiled in tacit agreement, as if the little episode just now had not affected everyone's mood.Herman saw that the little life in his wife's arms had fallen asleep, and he felt that this scene was very warm.Kirk gently laid little Albert flat on the crib and let him sleep peacefully.Herman ordered the band to stop playing for the time being, as it was Kirk's performance time.Kirk first held both ends of the skirt with both hands to salute the guests, dignified appearance and ingenious collocation made the beautiful Kirk more delicate and moving, she walked to the piano and sat down, in the rhythm of the hands composed a beautiful and moving melody, she is a pianist, the guests present listened to it fascinated, a song ended, thunderous applause."
Ms.
Kirk, I love you."
This is the cry of a young disciple."
Ha, it's a pity that this is my favorite, and I won't give it to you."
Herman replied humorously.Everyone present burst into laughter.And Yudecao was still thinking about the scene he had just seen, that mark had incredible magic, as long as he watched it once, he would not forget the strange structure of the mark, and the indescribable existence, as if it was deeply branded in his mind with a fiery soldering iron, and he believed that even if he lost his memory, he would not forget this terrible mark.Yudecao then remembered a question.Alphes may not be a simple person, and under his gentlemanly image of a big businessman, there may be an ulterior secret.Huh?
What about the Elphes?
Maybe it would be better to ask Pvent later, the two of them seem to know each other, although it doesn't sound like they're on good terms.Herman walked up to Yudkaw and teased cheerfully, "Dr.
Yudkaw, you look very haggard, are we not being well entertained?"
Or are you not very accustomed to the food of our Jews?
Or is it that today's wine and the sound of your beloved wife's piano have made you already drunk and half-awake?
”Yu Decao replied a little embarrassed, "I may have been too tired this morning, you know we need to be on duty in shifts, and today happens to be the morning shift."
Maybe I can find a quieter place to rest now. ”Herman summoned the servant and said to the servant, "Please take Mr.
Yudekaw to the study for a while, for as the midwife of the child, Mr.
Yudkaw will be the first to come out when he returns to bless him." ”The servant agreed, and Herman instructed the good servant to turn to Yudkaw and say, "Mr.
Yudkaw, please go to the study and rest for a while."
Of course, you can read the books in it casually, I have a collection of many famous people's books, and there are a few authentic books for you to enjoy.Of course, there are books you like to take with you, except for those few original ones, haha. ”Yudekaw was then guided by the servant to Herman's study.The door of the study is made of cedar, a hard, insect-resistant wood, and the doorknob is inlaid with colored gemstones, which is very luxurious.When I pushed it away, I could smell the scent of ink and books, and there was a refreshing but elegant aroma wafting in the air, which was the incense of the finest cedar essential oil, which not only repelled insects, but also made people feel peaceful, apparently the incense arranged by the careful Herman servant.The study room is full of books, picture albums, and oil paintings by famous artists hang on the walls, including high-imitation paintings from the Middle Ages, as well as works by contemporary popular painters.I didn't expect Herman to be so low-key and luxurious, and sure enough, the wealth of Jews cannot be compared with ordinary people.The Jews, a race that was born with God's favor, are also a race of many calamities, and God may have given them infinite wisdom, although the fate of the Jews was difficult, but often the Jews were able to survive from the desperate situation and perpetuate the race.They wander, they wander, they migrate, but they still live, spreading all over the world, and although they are of different nationalities, their bloodlines continue.After being constantly oppressed and targeted by various ethnic groups, the Jews gradually became scarce, but they learned how to survive and developed a talent for accumulating wealth.It is an incredible miracle that almost every Jew was able to obtain a large amount of money in the face of adversity and pass it on, perhaps because of their devout belief in the Creator of the Jewish mouth, which gave them an amazing talent for business.Alfes mysteriously sneaked into Herman's study, he saw a picture album from the East on the desk, and when he opened it, the contents were unsightly, apparently this was the book that Pvent gave Herman at that time.The men and women in the album were in various embarrassing poses, and after reading two pages, Alphes tore off the cover of the album and placed it in his arms.As a gentleman, as a big businessman, he naturally disdains it, and there is no need to steal this album; Alphes once had a beautiful wife, who remained single after her mysterious disappearance; He shuttles among the courtesans of major celebrities with his handsome appearance, but he has never had an heir, to put it bluntly, a high-quality single man who has never lacked women around him, how could he need to steal such a little yellow book.Alphes took out another album from his robe, placed it in the freshly torn Toyo cover, and placed it back in its original position.Then he rolled out of the window and landed on the grass outside.After taking a few steps, he glanced back at Herman's residence, the corners of his mouth pulled up, and his body trembled slightly, like a wild beast staring at its prey, like a director arranging a scene, everything was planned.He left quietly, thinking, "The props are ready, the actors are in place, my lord, please watch this farce, this is the script I designed for you."
This time, it will be more exciting than the previous script.My Lord, this time I want you to be pleased and give me the strength you bestow on me believers. ”Yudekao sat down in the comfortable leather chair in his study, closing his eyes and trying not to think about the imprint.As his thoughts cleared, Yudkaw smelled the scent of cedar to relax his nervousness and relieve some psychological pressure."
Oh, this chair is so comfortable, and I'd like to add one to my home.I should ask Mr.
Herman where he bought it, maybe it was made of calf skin?
It may not be appropriate to ask directly, but with Mr.
Herman's generosity today, he might have given it to me directly.If it's not right, go back and ask the servants.Perhaps, according to Mr.
Herman, admiring calligraphy and painting now may give me a moment of tranquility in my present spirit. ”Yudkaw thought.He first stood up and looked at the oil paintings on the side for a while, and felt that he still couldn't resonate with these artworks; It's obviously a bunch of scribbled paint, why can it be so valuable?
No one can figure this out, maybe it's the so-called commercial hype.So saying, Yudekaw gave up his artistic "negative nature" and turned around and walked towards the bookcase.Reach out and pull on the cover page of the book, hey, "The History of World Civilization", the next one, "The Merchant Doing Business", and the next one "The Art of Auction"."
Oh my God, isn't there an interesting book?
Is the style of high society so boring?
”Yudekao lay back in his leather chair, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that there seemed to be an "interesting" picture book on the table.It was a one-style cover of the Oriental picture book that Pvent had given to Youdekaw."
Could it be that Mr.
Herman likes this tune too?
The style of painting of the Orientals is indeed different from ours, which is different and bold!
”Yudecao laughed when he thought about it, and casually took the album that Alphes had "deliberately" left in Herman's study, "It's really a series, huh?"
A delicate flower in a golden bottle?
My book seems to be called a monk and a believer.,It seems that the content is different.,Hehe.,It shouldn't matter if you peek twice.,Maybe you can take it away?
Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Herman was in a good mood anyway. ”Fertility and reproduction have always been instincts in human life, even if the current Yudekao has lost the ability to be a person, but it does not prevent that instinct from doing anything, not to mention that Yudekao did not find a suitable book for himself to watch in the vast sea of books, such an "easy-to-understand" picture album was just the only choice for him who was depressed at that time.Before Yudekaw could open the cover, the maid knocked on the door and entered the study, "Dr.
Yudekaw, Mr.
Herman has instructed me to call you to prepare for the next blessing ceremony, and if you have a favorite book, you can take it with you." ”Yu Dekao's face turned red, but he didn't expect that when he was about to open it and look at it carefully, he was interrupted by the little maid.If I had put the album back while the maid was staring, the maid would have misunderstood Mr.
Hermann when she saw it, and she watched me put it back, fearing that tomorrow the city of Ulm would know that "Dr.
Yudekaw likes to read Oriental albums."
quickly calculated the current scene, and Yu Decao could only bite the bullet and hide the album in his robe, so as not to damage his reputation."
Thank you for your attention to me, Mr.
Herman, and thank him for me, I picked up an interesting book from here, and I'll return it when I've finished reading it."
Yudkaw said.Subsequently, the blessing ceremony went smoothly, and with the moonlight and music, the people gradually dispersed.Pvent and Philip bowed again to the Hermans in thanks, while Yudkaw shook Herman's hand and left.He forgot to return the album, and the calamities that had nothing to do with him were transferred to him.That's fate.
