50 Appreciated by Zhou Lao
Lin Xiaozhi handed the Xuande furnace in his hand to the servant on the side, wiped his hands and said: "This is the relic of Zhu Xuan, a member of the Bada Mountain, and the fog concealment method is arranged on it to cover his face, as long as he wipes it with a special tool, it will naturally reveal the true face of Lushan." ”
He is the ninth grandson of Zhu Quan, the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and his name is Zhu Tong in the family tree.
As a descendant of the Zhu family, it is naturally not unusual to have a precious Xuande furnace.
As for the fog concealment method, this is Zhu Xuan's exclusive method. He first became a monk, and then he joined the Taoist sect and knew many secret methods.
Zhu Zhen covered up his belongings, not wanting to cause trouble because of the identity of the deceased emperor and grandson, which is also reasonable.
The people who came to pay tribute to Zhou Jianhua were naturally more or less people who were interested in antiques, knowing that Old Man Zhou liked to collect these, in order to be able to say a few words, even if he didn't understand, he would hurry up to make up for it.
Naturally, he is no stranger to the title of Bada Shanren, and many people who heard Lin Xiaozhi's explanation showed a look of sudden realization. And those who don't understand, there are also people on the side who explain, and after they understand, they also marvel together.
I don't know where this kid came from actually used this trick to attract Zhou Lao's attention, you must know that if you enter the eyes of the big guy, it is not as simple as stepping into the clouds.
The small twists and turns of Lin Xiaozhi's gift did not interrupt the progress of the birthday gift.
After everyone finished giving gifts, Zhou Jianhua clapped his hands, and the birthday banquet began.
The servants who were waiting on the side had already emptied the ground, set up the tables and prepared the meals, and the big mansion had several tables for dining, as in ancient times.
"Sir, my lord asked me to invite you to his table. ”
Lin Xiaozhi was about to be next to Yu Siman when he was stopped by a servant, and the other party said respectfully.
didn't expect to attract the attention of the main family when he was in the limelight, and Lin Xiaozhi didn't shirk it, and there was nothing to be hypocritical about being here.
Lin Xiaozhi took a seat, and only then did he see Zhou Lao up close.
The old man's beard and hair were all white, but he was not angry and threatening, and there was no sign of old age and infirmity, but now his face was softened, and he looked like a kind elder.
"Have you heard of Jiang Lao?"
When the dishes were served, Zhou Lao said to Lin Xiaozhi kindly.
His gentle words are rare, and even Zhou Wan'er, who is a granddaughter, can't often see it.
"Are you talking about Jiang Lao, who opened a bookstore on Antique Street?"
Lin Xiaozhi didn't know that Elder Zhou would know Elder Jiang, but as far as he knew, there was only one person called Elder Jiang.
"Haha, it looks like it's really you. Some time ago, I heard that he had been bragging about a recent New Year's friend, and said that his strength was very good, and he would always introduce me to him one day. It turned out to be you, Xiaoyou. ”
The title of Zhou Lao made the hearts of everyone at the table suddenly, but not everyone can be called like this, it seems that this kid has gone lucky.
During the banquet, everyone ate and drank, and the people sitting at this table had a close relationship with Zhou Lao, so they naturally gave face to Lin Xiaozhi and were also pleasant. It's either toasting or probing his news, wanting to get to the bottom of it.
Lin Xiaozhi also calmly coped with the past, although he was indeed not a big child, but since Yu Pei gave him the ability, he no longer cowered, and he was a little more confident in communicating with people.
"I didn't expect you to be not only good at kung fu, but also know so much about antiques. ”
Zhou Wan'er sat next to Lin Xiaozhi and looked at him with some admiration.
Lin Xiaozhi waved his hand and hurriedly said: "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning, it's all taught to me by Jiang Lao, and I just know a little about fur." ”
"Hahaha, it's not good for young people to be too modest. ”
Zhou Lao became more and more satisfied with Lin Xiaozhi, this young man was not arrogant or impatient, he was obviously proficient in antiques to the point of seeing through the authenticity at a glance, but he was still so modest.
"Old Zhou, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan. ”
Liu Siming came to toast at this time, and saw that Lin Xiaozhi was a little embarrassed, but he still bowed his head to Zhou Jianhua.
"You're welcome. ”
Zhou Jianhua did not seem to be kind to Lin Xiaozhi, and his expression was indifferent.
Liu Siming knew that it was Lin Xiaozhi's behavior today that caused Zhou Jianhua's displeasure, but he could only endure it aggrievedly, and hurried away after the toast.
originally wanted to say something nice, but because of Lin Xiaozhi's existence, he could only leave, otherwise I was afraid that Zhou Jianhua would be even more disgusted with his senses.
Without Liu Siming's trouble, this table was full of guests and hosts until the banquet was dispersed.
Zhou Jianhua also talked about the history of the Ming Dynasty with Lin Xiaozhi, and the two talked about it until the end of the banquet, when they were interrupted by Zhou Wan'er.
"Grandpa, you've been talking about things I don't understand, I want to borrow Mr. Lin from you to play with me, okay?"
Zhou Wan'er shook Zhou Jianhua's arm coquettishly, and the latter stopped and looked helplessly at her spoiled granddaughter.
"You, go, go, go, don't make the guests too tired. ”
"Got it!"
Zhou Wan'er hurriedly grabbed Lin Xiaozhi and ran away, but Lin Xiaozhi had to nod to Zhou Jianhua.
Yu Siman over there also finished eating, and when she saw Zhou Wan'er pulling Lin Xiaozhi over, she also greeted her.
"Sister Siman, let's go to the horse farm together, shall we?"
It's not the first time Yu Siman has come here to play, but this time the treatment is exceptionally good. Originally, I just wanted to take Lin Xiaozhi out to see the world, but I didn't expect it to stain him.
"Okay. ”
Seeing Yu Siman agree, the three of them went around.
Not far from the Zhou family's house is a horse farm, which is specially used for the Zhou family to run horses, Lin Xiaozhi looked at the green grassland that was at least a kilometer in sight, and his heart was dumbfounded.
It's really a rich man, and I don't know how much it costs to maintain such a large piece.
Zhou Wan'er and Yu Siman quickly found a good horse, knowing that the eldest lady was coming, the staff of the racecourse had already led the horse over.
Zhou Wan'er has her own horse, the jujube red horse is oily and smooth, the horse's tail is also distinct when the tail is shaken, the four hooves are strong and powerful, with the crisp sound of the horse's hooves, Zhou Wan'er first out of the stable to ride the horse outside.
Yu Siman followed behind Zhou Wan'er, she picked a black horse, as tall and strong, and the muscle outline of the black horse was clearly visible in her steps. It's also a good horse!
"Xiao Zhi, come to me, you don't know how to ride a horse, right? ”
Yu Siman rode to Lin Xiaozhi's side and stretched out his hand to him.
Lin Xiaozhi has indeed never ridden a horse, let alone riding, even seeing a real horse is the first time.
But it's a bit awkward to have people ride horses.
And Yu Siman invited here, and Zhou Wan'er also turned the horse's head and stood on the other side and stretched out her hand to him.
"Let me bring it, I'm familiar with this horse farm. It's also safer. ”
The hands of the two of them were stretched out in front of them, what did Lin Xiaozhi do? He looked left and right, and the two women looked expectant.
