Chapter 658: Old Friends Meet
When a few people arrived in Jinling, it was already evening, and after arranging the accommodation, Chen Bai'an told Lin Bai a few words, and then worriedly took Shen Lingfeng out of the house, wanting to use the branch of the Divine Calculation Bureau in Jinling to find out the whereabouts of Jinling's reversal of the Five Elements Array, and by the way, invite a few feng shui masters in Nanjing to see if they can find a complete solution to the problem.
"You must stay in the house well, don't run around, the power of love is very treacherous, we have never touched this thing, but in my opinion, recuperation is the best way to control it." Before Chen Bai'an set off, he was still a little worried about Lin Bai, and said a few words, and then looked at Zhang Sanmad and Liu Jingtian and said, "You two should also stop a little, don't pester Lin Bai." ”
Zhang Sanmad and Liu Jingtian patted their chests with a smile on their faces to take the matter down, and then sent Chen Bai'an and Shen Lingfeng out of the hotel one after another. After seeing Chen Bai'an walk away, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then slipped into the room where Lin Bai was, with a smile in their eyes, and glanced up and down at Lin Bai.
Being a little chilled by the gaze of these two people, Lin Bai couldn't help but scratch his arm, and said suspiciously: "If you two have anything to say, just say it, don't pretend to be a ghost here, make people panic!" ”
"Little junior brother, it's easy to come to Nanjing. If we stay in the hotel all the time, wouldn't it be a loss! And if you want to find out the reversal of the Five Elements Circle, you have to take a look around Nanjing City, what's the matter of staying in the hotel! Zhang San smiled when he heard this, and looked at Lin Baidao with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Jingtian hurriedly continued: "And there is an old acquaintance of ours in Nanjing City, I don't believe that cousin, you don't want to meet him." And in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is a special thing, called the thin horse, my brother and I have been admiring it for a long time, it is easy to come to Nanjing, if you don't go to see what this thin horse looks like, wouldn't it be a loss! ”
Looking at the bewildered expressions of these two people, Lin Bai couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. He had heard of Skinny Horse from people around before. Raising thin horses, this is a deformed industry in the Ming and Qing dynasties of China. First, he funded the girls in poor families to buy them back and then study them, taught them singing and dancing, piano and chess, calligraphy and painting, and sold them as concubines to the rich or entered the Qin Mansion Chu Pavilion when they grew up, so as to make a profit.
Because the poor girls are so thin, the name "thin horse" comes from this. There is a very strict identification process for the selection of thin horses, and the most important thing for merchants is the evaluation of the small feet of thin horses. There is also a set of extremely detailed methods for identifying this "three-inch golden lotus", and people have also formulated seven standards for this purpose, such as "thin, small, pointed, curved, fragrant, soft, and positive".
And according to the appearance and talent, the "thin horse" is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. It is recorded in Ding Yaokang's "Continuation of the Golden Vase Plum" that the first-class "thin horse" was taught to "play the piano and blow the flute, chant poems and write, draw and play Go, play double-back, wipe dominoes, and do all kinds of obscene tricks", and such a "thin horse" could be sold for more than 1,500 taels of silver at that time.
This skinny horse was initially only popular in Yangzhou and other places, but later spread and gradually spread to the whole country. Although there is a knife on the head of the color word, there are still countless people who yearn for it, because even in modern society, this industry is still not broken, but the criteria for judging thin horses have changed a lot.
However, although he had heard about it, Lin Bai had never seen a thin horse, and he was a little tempted by these two people to be so prodded.
"Little junior brother, you see that I have worked hard all my life, and in the twilight of my life, I finally have the opportunity to open foreign meat, even if I don't open foreign meat, it's always good to open my eyes." Seeing Lin Bai's thoughtful appearance, Zhang Sanmad tried his best to squeeze out a few old tears, made a heartbroken statement, and pleaded bitterly with Lin Bai.
Seeing this, Liu Jingtian also said on the side: "What Senior Brother said is not wrong at all, the three of us are all noble people who are clean and self-conscious, how can we do those mundane things, just to see it." And God knows this matter, we all know, and those younger brothers and sisters in Yanjing City will never know. ”
Seeing that Lin Bai was shaken, the two of them puffed up their tongues, eager for a lotus flower to grow on the tip of their tongues, and bewitched Lin Bai again and again. If Chen Bai'an came back at this time and saw this scene, he was afraid that he would have to reprimand these two people fiercely; And if the girls in Yanjing City heard about this, they would definitely not spare them.
"Then let's go and appreciate the quintessence of this country that has been inherited for hundreds of years." Lin Bai thought for a moment, looked at the two and said with a smile.
As soon as they heard Lin Bai's words, the two of them were happy, and said in unison: "Okay, then let's go and appreciate what this quintessence that has been inherited for hundreds of years looks like!" ”
Liu Jingtian was opening the way in front of him, and he kept muttering there. Now he admires Lin Bai to the extreme in his heart. Or is Lin Bai's cousin particular, this kind of thing can use the word appreciation, which is originally a trivial thing, so it sounds much more elegant all of a sudden, and when I go back to Yanjing City in the future, I want to go out to play.
Originally, a few people wanted Lu Yanzhao to go over together, but when people thought of their age and identity, where would they be as profligate as Zhang Sanmad. After a few words of advice, they did not force it anymore. It's just that the acquaintance that these two people said before, Rao is Lin Bai tried his best to make words, but he couldn't even get out half a word, which is really weird.
"Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally hope for you!" As soon as the car stopped before it reached the presidential palace, a black figure with a cigarette in his mouth rushed down from the side steps, stretched out his hand to open the car door, and laughed loudly at several people.
Hearing the slightly sullen voice in this righteous speech, the smile on the corner of Lin Bai's mouth couldn't help but float, at this time he finally understood why Zhang Sanmad and Liu Jingtian were hiding it from him along the way, and they dared to be in collusion with He Shaoyu, but what made Lin Bai a little curious was that this big man in Yu City suddenly appeared in Jinling.
"Brother Lin, you don't know anything, He Dashao is not what it used to be, and he is already a member of the Jinling Development and Reform Commission. It is not easy for He Da Shao to take time out of his busy schedule to accompany us. After Liu Jingtian punched He Shaoyu lightly in the chest, the yin and yang strange qi said.
Zhang San rolled his eyes, his right hand naturally reached into He Shaoyu's pocket, and pulled out the wallet, but he smiled quietly on his face: "There are all kinds of opportunities? I think it's almost the same as Riri Manhime, right? ”
"This is all the credit of Brother Lin, since the old man listened to your words and promised me to marry Xiaoxiao home, I will have a smooth sailing." He Shaoyu ignored Liu Jingtian and Zhang Sanmad's ridicule, reached out and touched his head, and said gratefully to Lin Bai.
He Minglin's temperament is not clear to him, he has always been scornful of the matter between himself and Xiaoxiao, and even had the intention of using his own energy to separate the two, if it wasn't for Lin Bai's mediation later, where would his old man agree to the marriage between himself and Xiaoxiao. If it weren't for Lin Bai, where would there be a situation where everything is going smoothly for him now.
"You two are in love, I'm just a gesture, I don't need this. It's a pity that I didn't go over to ask for a glass of wine when you got married. Hearing this, Lin Bai reached out and patted He Shaoyu's shoulder and said. These words are not hypocrisy and grievances, but Lin Bai's heartfelt emotion, at the beginning of Panyu's trip, Lin Bai had already regarded He Shaoyu as his own brother.
As soon as Lin Bai's voice fell, Liu Jingtian over there looked furious, and said: "Fart's happy wine, don't say it's you, even I haven't even drunk a sip of water." This kid is good, he led his daughter-in-law to go abroad for a walk, and when he came back, he was notified by a text message that he had married him, and you said that this matter is not annoying! ”
"Brother Liu, don't be angry, I'll just make up the wine for you today." He Shaoyu showed a look of grievance when he heard this, stared at Lin Bai and continued: "Do you think brother, I don't want to put wine, it's not because Brother Lin's marriage and the full moon wine are too big, my old man said that if I get married, I am afraid that some people will be dissatisfied and reject my original big plan!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Bai couldn't help but laugh dumbly. At the beginning, he thought that He Shaoyu's hidden marriage was because he changed his fancy temperament, but he didn't expect that this thing was caused by himself.
But if you think about it carefully, He Minglin's decision is not wrong, after all, he is a member of the Liu family's faction, and if he continues to celebrate with great fanfare, his face will not look good; The second is because some people in Sijiu City dare not provoke the Liu family, but it does not mean that they dare not pay attention to He Minglin.
But this matter is wronged by the girl who married He Shaoyu, who gets married once in her life, and whose girl doesn't want to marry in style.
"I'm sorry for you, I'm in for a treat today! When you go back, tell your younger siblings that I have promised to come, and after a while, I will definitely let you have a grand wedding! After a moment of silence, Lin Bai reached out and patted He Shaoyu's shoulder, swearing.
When the matter of the Eight Gates Locking Dragon Bureau and the reversal of the Five Elements Circle is resolved, he will take these credits and go to the current one to ask for a wedding banquet for He Shaoyu. According to the character of today's Kuangda, he should not refuse.
"Okay, then we'll settle it. I'm going to surprise my family. He Shaoyu was overjoyed when he heard this, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Lin Bai's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll invite you this time tonight, I'll take you to Mochou Lake to have some fun!" ”
