The ten great things of the ancients: burning incense, tasting tea, listening to the rain, appreciating the snow, waiting for the moon, drinking wine, flowers, seeking seclusion, playing the qin, and playing chess. Today's gentleman is rare to occupy all ten elegance, and if he gets one, two, three, four, five, he is already a winner in life.

Jiang Lai sat in the tea room on the second floor, burning a furnace of incense and holding a cup of tea. The incense is the best Hainan black chess, because its smell is strong, full of oil, take a little spice can make the room full of fragrance, so it is called "agar". Tea is known as the "crown of sharp tea" Taiping Monkey Kui, its color, fragrance, taste, shape is unique, has the majestic posture of "swords and guns gathered, dragons fly and phoenixes dance".

One or two agarwood and one or two gold, this agarwood is naturally not cheap. As for this "monkey kui with two pointed ends, no scattering, no warping and no curling" of the best gentleman's tea, it is even more impossible to buy it with money.

Of course, for Jiang Lai, neither of these things cost money.

With the name of "Ghost Hand Heir", holding the "icing on the cake" technology, and Shi Daozhi, an agent who "fuels the fire", Jiang Lai is also well-known in the antique world, and whoever comes to the door and wants to help can't come empty-handed, right?

For these collectors who spend thousands of dollars to buy antiques, the gifts they give will naturally not be "cheesy". Therefore, there is a large collection of famous teas, wines, spices, flowers and trees at home. Shi Daochen doesn't drink tea, but he is good at wine. It's the opposite of Jiang Lai. In order to prevent these good teas from spoiling, Jiang Lai "drinks" very hard every year.

The autumn wind is whiny, and the autumn rain is slightly cool. The flowers and trees in the whole small garden withered, and the ginkgo biloba leaves that spread all over the ground were rolled by the wind, and the red leaves flew all over the sky, which was very beautiful.

"The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cold, and the grass and trees shake and the dew turns into frost. The swallows resigned and returned to the south. Thinking of the gentleman and the guest, thinking of returning to the hometown, why should you drown and send it to others?"

This situation made Jiang Lai can't help but chant this "Yan Ge Xing".

With a long sigh, only this cup of hot tea can dispel the coolness in my heart.

Shi Daochen came over with a chess box in his hand and said: "Cao Pigui is the emperor, and he is busy dealing with military affairs all day long, how can he have time to be so sad and sad with you?

Jiang Lai was in an even worse mood, and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't care what kind of person he is, I only care about the artistic conception expressed in this poem." ”

"Do you miss your hometown again?" Shi Daochen put the chess box in his hand on the table and said, "Let's have a game?"

Jiang Lai put down the teacup, set up the chessboard with Shi Daochen, and said, "The place where my parents are is called my hometown." The parents are gone, and all the places are just wandering. ”

Shi Daochen laughed and said, "Then what am I? A wild child who was picked up by your parents, fatherless and motherless, and didn't even know where his hometown was. A walking snail called a homeless place?"

Jiang came to see Shi Daochen and said, "Early in the morning, what are you worse than me?"

"I just don't like how miserable you make yourself miserable at this time of year. The Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet arrived, and you have begun to "think of your relatives every festive season". Are you bothered?"

"You don't understand. Jiang said. "Burning incense, listening to the rain, tasting tea, playing chess, gentlemen are elegant. At this time, if there is more hope in the heart, it will be even more wonderful. Ordinary people like you naturally can't experience this kind of artistic conception. ”

Shi Daochen glanced at the courtyard, pursed his lips, and said, "What's so beautiful about this? This rain falls every day, this leaves fall every day, and this tea is drunk every day, not tired?"

"My girlfriend changes every day, don't you get tired?" Jiang Lai said back.

"It's because I'm afraid of getting tired of it, so I change it every day. Shi Daochen said shamelessly.

“……”

Shi Dao's chess skills are not as good as Jiang Lai, so every time he asks him to take the sunspot first, he looks up at Jiang Lai after he falls, and says, "Why don't you talk every time I mention women?

"What's going on?" Jiang Lai fell lightly, his chess style was very similar to his repair style, unhurried, gentle and elegant.

"They've taken you to your private bedroom to rest, and there's not been any progress between the two of you?"

"There is progress. Jiang said.

"What's the progress?" Shi Daochen was overjoyed in his heart, and his stupid junior brother had finally "opened up". He, who is a senior brother, is really heartbroken for the lifelong event of his junior brother.

In the past, when I was in Italy, the daughters of antique dealers, romantic literary girls, and even the daughters of ambassadors all expressed a certain degree of affection for Jiang Lai.

It's just that the results are not satisfactory.

Well, it was a disaster. In the end, Shi Daozhi came forward and apologized in a fancy way to help finish it. Otherwise, Jiang Lai would not have been able to leave Florence alive.

Later, Shi Daochen thought to himself, does Jiang Lai dislike these blonde and blue-eyed foreign girls?

Finding a Chinese daughter-in-law for Jiang is also one of the things that Shi Daochen is committed to accomplishing when he comes back this time.

If Jiang Lai really fell in love with the little princess of the Lin family, he would try his best to help him chase people down. It's not easy for a little junior brother to like a person, and it's even more difficult to fall in love with a woman.

"The boy play bottle has been repaired, and my work is done. Jiang Lai replied. The fall is like the wind, but the murderous spirit is rampant.

"The boy has repaired the water bottle, and the work is done?" Shi Daochen was stunned, and the chess pieces in his hand didn't know how to fall, and said, "I'm not talking about the progress in this area......

"And what kind of progress are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about emotional progress. Feelings, do you understand?" Shi Daochen was almost about to burst into flames. On the first day you went to Chaumet, I knew you would be able to fix the boy's water bottle...... Others don't know your skills, can I not know them? Others don't know how hard you practice?

Jiang Lai shook his head and said, "I didn't find their smuggling information in her office, so ...... There's no way to get her to the bureau. ”

"I'm not talking about hate, I'm talking about love...... The love of love. Come, read it to me. A---I---- love?"

Jiang Lai glanced at Shi Daochen and said, "I'm embarrassed to say." ”

“……”

Jiang Lai thought for a while, looked at Shi Daochen and said, "This word can't be said easily. Only when you really meet someone you like, you will say it naturally...... You're being too deliberate. This seems to be very disrespectful to the word, and it is also disrespectful to the relationship. ”

"Are you hungry?" asked Shi Daochen.

"Didn't you just finish breakfast? Jiang Lai looked at Shi Daochen with a puzzled expression.

"I don't want to go down. If you are confused, you will lose. ”

"I'll give you three sons. ”

"No, you don't. ”

"Four. ”

"No, you don't. ”

"Then I'll let you win this game?"

"Deal. ”
