Chapter 59: Confrontation

The east wing is usually the brightest place in a mansion, where the courtyard is already very spacious, and the intricate arrangement of flowers and trees in the front yard, although it seems to be sparse, implies the direction of the five elements and eight trigrams, so that the place that should be bright can be brighter when it should be bright.

At this time, Lin Gongzi's east wing seemed to have substantial light shining directly through the various window lattices. Everything in the interior seems to be covered with a dreamy hue.

There was already a person waiting in front of the dark red book case of the red pine, and the sound of everyone entering the room did not make him come back to his senses from the book in his hand, which showed how attentive he was.

"You may be seated. Young Master Lin didn't seem to think that there was anything rude about that person's behavior, and he didn't take it to heart. Let him read alone, he naturally seems to have no one on his side, and takes care of Li Hui and Li Jin and his party.

After the servants served the refreshments, Young Master Lin said leisurely.

"I'm sorry, although you are in this Drunken Immortal Pavilion and come to my place as the pavilion master, I can only pay homage to tea. It's not stingy, and I'm reluctant to give away wine. It's just that my spleen and stomach have been weak since I was a child, and alcohol is listed as a taboo, so I can only ask everyone to accompany me. Young Master Lin said with a smile.

Lin Xiaoyu's tone is extremely polite and soft, but the domineering and self-contained style revealed in the words cannot be ignored. Li Jin admired the courage of the young master of the Lin family.

implicitly said that even if a businessman is rich enough to rival the country, it is impossible for him to really dare to fight with the people in the government, let alone adhere to his own rules.

Li Jin was also born in a family of eunuchs, and although he usually went to the cloth shop with Li's mother, he did not see much of the merchants' caution towards the eunuchs.

Generally, as long as it is on the side of the official word, the businessman is usually very polite, but he tries to meet the needs as much as possible. Where is there anyone like this young master of the Lin family who talks to himself and wants the official family to accompany him? Besides, this young master of the Lin family still knows that he is not an ordinary official who entertains him. This surprised Li Jin even more.

Logically speaking, this officer is different from a civilian official, and the merchant is weak when he moves into force, so he can only consider himself unlucky. Moreover, now he is still the commander of the three armies in front of him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is above 10,000 people under one person.

Young Master Lin's demeanor is free and easy, and although he is polite and modest in his words, he is neither humble nor arrogant that Li Jin rarely sees among merchants. Li Jin secretly wondered if this little young master was ignorant of the world and did not participate in the family's business, so he could be so detached from things? But it was impossible to think about it, the Lin family only had one single seedling, how could he not handle his own business, after a hundred years of Master Lin, the Lin family's family business would naturally be passed on to the hands of this young master Lin.

Could it be that he doesn't have a lot of experience, thinking that he is the richest man in the capital, and Master Lin is very fond of him, so he has never dealt with such an official family, and he doesn't understand the market wisdom that the people don't fight with the officials?

Li Jin couldn't understand it for a while, but his eyes were only staring at Li Hui and Young Master Lin.

"Where, we are guests, and natural guests are as they please. Li Hui said with a smile.

"There is General Lao to take care of it. Young Master Lin still had that lightweight look, and then raised his glass to persuade everyone: "Although it is some tea that is not respectful, but now that it is the beginning of winter, this special Yunnan red in the southwest with the red glutinous in the south of the Yangtze River is really a good product for replenishing qi and maintaining health, so everyone can take advantage of it." ”

Li Hui was not polite, he directly picked up the teacup and drank it all, and after putting down the empty cup in his hand, he said: "Sure enough, the things of the Lin family are extraordinary, and the glutinous rice black tea that can be seen everywhere also has a different taste here." Young Master Lin has seen a lot of good things when he travels south and north. I don't know if I can share a thing or two with someone?" Li Hui said with a smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Li Jin noticed that the light in Li Hui's eyes seemed to become more and more restrained as he spoke. It can be seen that he cares very much about the young master of the Lin family's answer.

"Don't dare to be a general's false praise, although Lin thinks that he has traveled a lot of places, but in the end he is shallow in his knowledge, far less profound than General Li's profound knowledge, and it is ridiculous and generous to say it. Young Master Lin smiled and waved his hand.

Just looking at the meniscus knife you hung in the hall, and the gentleman who behaved in this room and was regarded as a guest by you, you know that Young Master Lin must be a wonderful person with a discerning eye. Li Hui seemed to have expected that the young master of the Lin family would shirk it, and he did not hesitate to point out the two things he cared about.

At this time, the young master of the Lin family didn't seem to struggle too much, and after signaling the servants to fill another round of tea for everyone, he sent out all the idle people in the house. Even the gentleman, who was devoted to studying, was invited out of the inner room.

Li Hui also waved his hand and sent Jinyun, the personal attendant behind him, out of the house.

Looking at this posture, Li Jin knew in his heart that he wanted to talk about secret things. I have known too many secrets recently, and I deeply realize the true meaning of the more I know, the less happiness I have, so I am also busy getting up and leaving this place of right and wrong with Xiangxue.

I don't want Li Hui to pull Li Jin's cuffs in the corner under the table that is not easy to be seen, seeing that his face is calm, but the strength in his hand is not small, and it is difficult to get out of Li Jin if he struggles in every way.

But if he spoke up and asked Li Hui to let go, Li Jin felt that he would inevitably seem to be inferior, and the rest was okay, but he was going to confront this person face to face for a while, if it weren't for the momentum brought by his bluff, Li Jin felt that it was difficult for him to honestly explain what he wanted to know, so he couldn't show cowardice when he said anything at this time.

At this time, Xiangxue, who was standing aside, was waiting for her decision. In desperation, Li Jin had to wave her hand and let Xiangxue wait for her outside the house.

As a result, there were only three people left in the house, although Xiangxue was still worried about Li Jin. Looking at the posture, it seems that the protagonist of the conversation does not include Li Jin, although I don't understand why the young lady stays in the house, but she is not too worried in the end, so she left the house very obediently.

Lin Xiaoyu was a little surprised that the people accompanying Li Hui would stay, so he glanced at Li Jin a few more times. But he only thought that it was a delicate little student, and after thinking about it, he thought it was an auxiliary person like a counselor around Li Hui, so he didn't care much.

After retracting his gaze, Young Master Lin said with a smile: "If you talk about this meniscus knife, Lin naturally can't get an axe in front of General Li, but Li wants to ask the general for advice." ”

Saying that, Young Master Lin got up and went to the living room to take down the scimitar that had been placed in the middle hall as an ornament, and placed it on the table in front of Li Hui and Li Jin.

"Oh, what does Young Master Lin want to know?" Li Hui said curiously.

"This knife can only be said to have come to me by chance, I only know that it should come from the northern Xinjiang, but I heard that many lives have been lost for this knife. Lin Xiaoyu looked at Li Hui deeply.

Li Jin looked at the scimitar in front of him, and didn't understand why the snooping and disguise between the eyes of the two were so intense.

In Li Jin's eyes, it was just an ordinary knife of an alien race, and there were even some traces of rust on it.

Jingshi is rich in products and has a lot of resources. When Li Jin was a child, there were countless aliens who came to Beijing to trade. Li Jin used to be in the West Market and had seen a lot of such scimitars.

At that time, the knives on the shelves were much more elaborate than this one. Even what Li Jin remembers is still fresh is that some of the scabbards are also decorated with complicated patterns and matching gemstones, which make people feel worthy of the word treasure knife under the glitter.

In this comparison, the knife in front of it is really prosaic to the point where it is unforgettable.

Suddenly, Li Jin remembered the nervous expressions of Li Hui and Jinyun when they just entered the door, could it be that it was actually for this plain-looking knife?

Although I don't understand what mystery this knife hides, it makes these two, one with a heavy army in his hand, and the other rich and invincible people so valuable. Li Jin knew very well that the two people in front of him were secretly competing, was this just for a knife?
