The two went to a bookstore in a quiet environment and ordered two cups of tea. Lu Songtao handed a beautiful box to Lu Shanmin, and said with a smile: "Give it to you."

Lu Shanmin stared at the box on the table and didn't reach out to take it, he knew that it contained the old antique inkstone he had just seen in the hotel conference room, and he also knew that for a person who loves calligraphy, how significant the inkstone he liked was, it could never be measured by money.

"Are you willing"?

Lu Songtao's smile was a little embarrassed, "Wang Anshi of the Southern Song Dynasty has used hundreds of years of ink fragrance aftertaste, and he smelled it from childhood to adulthood, so he was really reluctant." After a pause, "But it's worth it."

As a person who also loves calligraphy, how could Lu Shanmin not like it, and even had some ecstasy in his heart.

"Then you're welcome." As he spoke, he grabbed the box with both hands.

Lu Songtao was stunned for a moment, in fact, when he heard Lu Shanmin ask him if he was reluctant, he already regretted it a little, he thought that Lu Shanmin would refuse, he was also struggling with whether he was too impulsive just now, and how to deal with Lu Shanmin's resignation next, but he didn't expect Lu Shanmin to accept it so simply.

Lu Shanmin twitched twice from Lu Songtao's hand before dragging the box over.

Lu Songtao smiled awkwardly, "The sword is worthy of a hero, and the treasure is matched with a confidant, and only you can be worthy of it."

Lu Shanmin carefully stroked the box, "Don't worry, the inkstone is here, the inkstone is dead, I will collect him well."

Lu Songtao pushed the gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his heart was a little tingling, but he was not embarrassed enough to come back.

"Mountain people, among the people I have met, you are different from everyone else". Lu Songtao took a sip of tea and said.

"That's the sentence again?" Lu Shanmin smiled faintly.

Lu Songtao's brows furrowed slightly, "Did I say this to you?"

Lu Shanmin said lightly: "Several people have said this before you."

Lu Songtao sighed, "Have you ever heard that once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea?"

Lu Shanmin nodded, "Of course I've heard of it, a big family like yours has a lot of red tape and rules, and outsiders seem to be high, but low also has low benefits, high and high, high is cold, more constraints, less freedom."

Lu Songtao said with a smile: "Maybe that's why I feel that you are different from others, and you are naturally in contact with people at the same height at any height." Take the inkstone I just gave you as an example, among the people I have come into contact with, no matter how much he likes it, he has to shirk it at least two or three times, and I will send it two or three times before I am willing to accept it, and you are the first one to accept it without shirking."

Only then did Lu Shanmin suddenly realize what Lu Songtao said was different.

"It seems that my height is indeed much worse than yours, and I don't know how to be humble at all." Lu Shanmin laughed self-deprecatingly.

Lu Songtao shook his head, "In my opinion, this is better, less hypocrisy, more true feelings, and communication is not so tiring, don't you know, once you are born in a wealthy family, once you have a special hobby and interest, it is a painful thing, anyone who wants to befriend the Lu family to vote for me, annoying to death."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "You are called born in the blessing and don't know the blessing, how many ordinary people envy it, some people can't envy it, some people, all their lives, they fantasize about one day being able to hold the moon like you, and even some people are obviously a poor dick, but they still have to pretend to be big names outside to attract people's attention."

Lu Songtao smiled, "There are indeed people who slap swollen faces and become fat."

Lu Shanmin took a sip of tea and said lightly: "It's not just that, it's not too much." I have a friend who writes about the Internet, and he summed up an experience, if you want to write about the Internet to make money, it is actually very simple, you don't need to conceive the plot, you don't need to portray the characters in thick and colorful colors, and you don't have to rack your brains to analyze the human nature."

Lu Songtao looked at Lu Shanmin suspiciously, "If you don't have these things, you can call them"?

Lu Shanmin smiled, "I don't know if it's called or not, but my friend said that as long as you keep slapping your face and pretending, even if your logic is full of loopholes and your writing is a mess, you can make a lot of money." So, it's not just people who fantasize about living your life, it's a big deal in this era, and they fantasize about being the protagonist like you, and they want to go crazy and get addicted. ”

Lu Songtao pursed his mouth in disdain, "That's just a misguided person, what's the difference between it and drugs."

said that he suddenly remembered something, "A few days ago, I saw a news that a college student burned his family to death, saying that he was the reincarnation of some kind of Xuantian and some bullshit emperor, and he was the master of this plane, and he could return to the peak after sacrificing his family."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "A person like you is the master of this plane, so you should be content."

Lu Songtao smiled, "I find you more and more interesting, no wonder you can write so good words."

As he spoke, he asked, "Your friend who writes about the Internet is making a lot of money."

Lu Shanmin pursed his mouth, "If I hadn't helped, he would have starved to death."

Lu Songtao sighed, "Then he has a bit of backbone."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "If he has the backbone, he won't want my help."

Lu Songtao's thin face was full of smiles, and he found that he hadn't chatted with someone so relaxed and happy for a long time.

"I've heard about you"?

Lu Shanmin nodded, knowing that he was talking about the Nalan family.

"If you're trying to persuade me, you don't have to."

Lu Songtao shook his head, "I saw from your words last time that you will not be a person who listens to persuasion."

Lu Shanmin looked at Lu Songtao with some surprise, and sneered, "Second Brother Lu is also different from other wealthy children."

Lu Songtao pushed the gold wire glasses, "It's a little different, I'm not as interested in money and power as they are."

"That's because you've never experienced what it's like to be short of money."

"Maybe", Lu Songtao smiled self-deprecatingly, "But as a friend, I want to remind you that these big families in Tianjing are different from other local tyrants, and they all have real heritage." After a pause, "With your ingenuity, you should feel it, and when you compete with them, you will have a feeling of being shrouded in a big net, which is far from being as simple as you imagined."

Lu Shanmin nodded, the longer he arrived in Tianjing, the more he realized this feeling, and at the same time, he was grateful to Lu Songtao from the bottom of his heart.

"So Second Brother Lu held a calligraphy exchange meeting with great fanfare, and drank tea with me here openly, just to minimize my resistance."

Lu Songtao did not deny it, "The struggle in the shopping mall, the grievances between you, I really can't be interested, I am a calligraphy fan, and it is not easy to meet a soulmate in my life." Saying a little apologetic, he said, "But, there is only so much I can do."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "I understand, how can such a big family as the Lu family affect the decision-making of the entire family because of your personal relationship."

Lu Songtao had an apologetic look on his face, "Although Old Man Zhu's influence is not as good as back then, and he has never used his identity to help the Nalan family over the years, but after all, he is the in-laws of the Nalan family, as long as he lives, it is a big Buddha town there, although the Lu family is not afraid, but if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, it is impossible to have a bad relationship with the Nalan family for no reason."

Looking at Lu Songtao's face full of apologies, Lu Shanmin smiled and said: "Second Brother Lu, you and I know each other through calligraphy, which is the purest friendship relationship, you can do this for me, I am already grateful, if you feel sorry for me because of this, how can I be embarrassed." I understand what you said, not to mention that Old Man Zhu is here, even if there is no Old Man Zhu, the Nalan family's background in Tianjing is not shallow, and the Lu family has no reason to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred for me, an irrelevant little person."

Lu Songtao exhaled, "Mountain people, your people are really the same as your words, atmospheric."

Lu Shanmin picked up the teacup and touched it with Lu Songtao, "You know that I approach you with a purpose, and you do so many things for me, you are the real atmosphere."

Lu Songtao and Lu Shanmin touched each other, and said with a smile: "Take some time to go to my house to sit."

The teacup in Lu Shanmin's hand trembled slightly, compared to drinking tea with Lu Songtao outside, the meaning of going to the Lu family was completely different, of course he knew what Lu Songtao meant, that is, to let others see that Lu Shanmin was a friend of the Lu family.

"Will your family agree"?

Lu Songtao laughed, "You came to Lu's house to visit me, not to see my family, what reason do they have to stop you."

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Shanmin's mouth, "Second Brother Lu, thank you."

..........

..........

As soon as he separated from Lu Songtao, Lu Shanmin received a call from Xiao Nizi.

On the phone, Xiao Nizi's business was very excited, and she was so excited that she was a little incoherent.

"Brother Shanmin, I have great news for you."

"What good news makes you so happy"?

"Just now, just, just, just now, guess who called me".

"Big blackheads"?

"Not right".

"Old God Stick"?

"Wrong"?

"Secretary Chen, Village Chief Li"?

"No, no, no, it's Sister Zixuan."

Lu Shanmin's brows furrowed slightly, although last time Nalan Zijian said that Ye Zixuan would return to Tianjing for the New Year this year, when he knew that she was in Tianjing, his mood was still a little complicated.

"Brother Shanmin, are you listening to me"?

"Hmm".

"What does um mean"?

"Little Nizi, what did you talk to her about?"

"Hehe, we've talked a lot, talking about clothes, cosmetics, shoes、、、、 and men, Sister Zixuan is also very happy to know that I am in Tianjing, and she wants to ask me out to go shopping"?

"You didn't tell her I was in Tianjing."

"Of course not, Sister Zixuan still doesn't know my relationship with you, so tell her to wear a goof."

Lu Shanmin breathed a sigh of relief, he had never wanted this clean girl to be involved in his grievances.

"Brother Shanmin, aren't you going to look for her?"

The second watch was around 12 a.m
