This sudden change also made Ji Lin frown.

However, Ji Lin didn't pay much attention to Zhou Tao's provocation.

It's just a clown who jumps off the beam, who hasn't seen it in his long years?

"Ji Lin, you stop, could it be that you really got the heart of what I said?"

"Could it be that Miss Du is not beautiful enough in your eyes? Could it be that she doesn't deserve a precious gift? ”

Seeing Ji Lin turn around and want to leave, Zhou Tao jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with an angry face.

"Director Zhou, you're enough!" Du Shiya's joy was gone, and her eyes looking at Zhou Tao were full of anger.

"Miss Du, I have to teach you a lesson today."

"'Mom', 'ba', today's guests are all Coats, we must not let this rat poop spoil a pot of soup."

Zhou Tao sneered and looked at Ji Lin defiantly.

As soon as Zhou Tao's words came out, everyone nodded one after another, secretly saying that what he said was reasonable.

"Ji Lin, I'm sorry, I ......"

Du Shiya was a little flustered, bowed her head and didn't dare to look at Ji Lin, obviously she didn't expect things to come to this point.

"It's okay, since everyone wants to take a look, then Miss Du, you can open it in public."

Ji Lin shrugged indifferently, the clouds were light and the wind was light.

"I'll come." Zhou Tao was sharp-eyed and quick-handed, and snatched the sandalwood box over.

After squeezing it with his hand, the disdain in Zhou Tao's eyes became stronger:

"Ji Lin, you are really interesting, this thing is as light as a feather, do you also look down on the second miss of our Yang family too much?"

"Director Zhou, don't go too far." Wang Chao's brows furrowed, and his eyes were full of anger.

For a while, everyone reacted differently, some were gloating, some were interested, and more were watching from the sidelines and preparing to watch the play.

Ji Lin has not been down to Nanshan for 70 years, and his connections in his hometown of Shu are not extensive.

In this case, if Ji Lin loses face today, it will definitely become a joke in the Shu celebrity circle.

"We have an old saying in Shenzhou, which is called courtesy and affection."

"I believe that my gift, Miss Du will definitely like it." Ji Lin said confidently.

"Then I'd like to see what it is!"

Zhou Tao scoffed and opened the sandalwood box in public.

A dry thatch suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Wow!

A thatch? The person who could refuse the Song blue and white porcelain presented by Dong Xun'er at the Qingzhu Hotel actually sent a piece of grass to the second miss of the Yang family?

Grass? Could it be that this word has another meaning?

Could it be that this personable young man actually hides some ulterior evil "desires" in his heart?

The people who came to the birthday dinner today are all well-informed people, but in their impressions, it seems that they have never seen anyone so strange, and the gift is actually a piece of grass.

"It's really polite and affectionate, Ji Lin, your task is really heavy, I can't lift it."

Zhou Tao laughed loudly, and the tears of laughter were about to flow out.

This scene made Wang Chao also stunned, obviously he didn't expect Ji Lin to send a thatch to his childhood sweetheart.

However, out of trust in Ji Lin, Wang Dynasty only frowned, but did not say much.

After all, what gift to give, that's someone else's freedom.

"Ji Lin, thank you for the gift."

Du Shiya is naïve and romantic, she just thinks that Ji Lin can come to her birthday banquet, it is already very good, it doesn't matter if she gives a gift or not, or what gift she gives.

"Miss Du, you are so kind, this matter can't be counted like this!"

"Today, Ji Lin insulted your Du family with a thatch, wouldn't others do the same in the future, sending bricks, leaves, or something?"

Seeing that Du Shiya and Wang Chao were unimpressed, Zhou Tao did not give up.

"And what do you want?" Lin Lulu couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up and shouted.

"Someone, go and invite Mr. Su over."

Zhou Tao lit a cigarette and turned his head to look at his brother Wang Cai.

"Yes, Director Zhou." Hearing this, Wang Cai nodded, retreated, and went all the way to the backyard of Xue Yuan.

Mr. Su is a well-known ancient architect in the country, and his old man is here today?

Mr. Su traveled all over the world, but he didn't expect him to have a relationship with the fourth young master of the Yang family!

For a while, everyone was talking, and suddenly felt that Du Shiya's birthday party today was very interesting.

In the respectful gaze of everyone, an old man in a Mao suit wearing a tunic playing with an iron "egg" in his hand walked in.

"Mr. Su, you are an expert in ancient architecture in our country, and I believe that you have a lot of treasures for all kinds of building materials, and I invite you to come here today because I want you to appreciate the value of this thatch."

As soon as Zhou Tao's slightly sycophant voice came out, Mr. Su nodded, stepped forward in front of everyone's eyes, and came to the thatch.

"Although thatch is widely used in ancient buildings, it also has disadvantages such as flammability and easy to be eaten by insects."

"Although this is similar to thatch, which has a long history, even dating back to the Tang Dynasty, its actual value is not high."

Mr. Su is worthy of being the number one ancient architect in Shenzhou, and after careful inspection, he came to a conclusion.

A thatch from the Tang Dynasty? Can you give it to someone as a birthday gift? Everyone was stunned.

"Ji Lin, you are so talented, you actually gave Miss Du a thatch from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Don't you tell me this is the thatch given by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?" Zhou Tao laughed loudly, and tears of laughter were about to flow out.

"Mr. Su, can this real thatch be worth 20 million?"

"It's not worth it."

"Is that worth two million?"

"How is this possible?"

"How much is that worth? Two hundred thousand? Or twenty thousand? ”

"I'll sell you for 2,000 yuan, do you want it?"

"Hahahaha!"

Zhou Tao and Mr. Su asked and answered, and in the end, Zhou Tao laughed heartily, and the laughter was indescribably proud.

"The friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, Shiya thanks Ji Lin for his generous gift." Du Shiya disagreed, and smiled at Ji Lin.

"Miss Du, at this time, could it be that you still love him so much?"

"You're 'stupid', aren't you?" Zhou Tao felt a sigh in his heart, and a bad feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

"Miss Du, if you are a descendant of Du Zimei, then I believe that this is with thatch, you will definitely like it, if you don't believe it, you can hold it in your hand and try the "hand" feeling. ”

Ji Lin gorgeously ignored everyone's different gazes and nodded at Du Shiya.

"Hmm." I don't know why, when she saw this and thatch, Du Shiya always had a very familiar and friendly feeling

In front of everyone's eyes, Du Shiya held the thatch in her hand.

Wow!

At the moment when Du Shiya grasped the thatch, the thatch turned into a "wheel", "pride" and "yang" and rose, as if taking everyone to distant antiquity.

"The August autumn wind roars, roll up the triple thatch on my house!"

"Mao flies across the river and sprinkles the suburbs of the river, the higher ones hang on the top of the long forest, and the lower ones float around the sinking pond pass!"

This seems to come from the high-pitched voice of the Tang Dynasty, which echoes in the ears of all the guests in an instant, and lasts for a long time, making everyone seem to dream back to the Tang Dynasty.

The gold is wrapped in the big trees on both sides of the road in Chang'an City, and the graceful dance of Gongsun Auntie especially lingers in the court, so that the flowers of the prosperous and prosperous era are splendid.

Far away in the cold wind of Shudi, an old man in rags was sighing in the wind with a cane.

An autumn wind rained overnight, and the autumn rain continued with tears.

The old man is actually not old, he is only forty-eight years old this year, but the life of years of displacement has made the old man full of vicissitudes and loneliness.

I finally came to Shudi, just to study at the foot of the Lianhua River, God, why do you want the wind to ruthlessly blow away my thatched roof?

Sigh!

In an instant, the guests in Xue Yuan all felt that they saw a helpless and grief-stricken old man, standing in the autumn wind and crying silently.

"The children of Nancun bullied me for being old and powerless, and I could endure being a thief on the other side, openly hugging the grass into the bamboo, my lips were dry, and I couldn't breathe, and I came back and sighed against the cane."

The old man's voice became higher and higher-pitched, and the guests saw a group of young and ignorant children, jumping and running over.

Ignoring the old man's anxious and angry dissuasion, they openly picked up the thatch scattered on the ground and laughed away.

"How can it be that these naughty boys are so hateful."

"That old man is so pitiful, he lives alone with a wooden stick and sighs under his subordinates."

All the guests were full of righteous indignation, and they all felt that this old man was too pitiful, and the pity was heart-wrenching.

"The Russian wind is dark and dark, and the autumn desert is dark."

"The cloth has been as cold as iron for many years, and Jiao'er is evil and cracked."

"There is no dry place in the bedside room, and the rain feet are like hemp and have not been broken."

"Since the mourning and lack of sleep, why get wet for a long night?"

The wind gradually stopped, and the endless darkness shrouded him, and the old man lay on the "bed" and stared blankly at the leaky roof.

This quilt has been cold and hard for so many years, when will such days end?

The old man was confused, helpless, and wandering, and the old man was very aggrieved after years of wandering, but he was helpless.

"There are tens of thousands of Ande mansions!"

"Shelter the world, the cold are happy!"

"The wind and rain do not move, and it is as safe as a mountain!"

The rain was getting heavier, and the wind outside was whining, as if it was about to tear off the roof at any moment.

The old man took a sip of turbid wine and said sadly the wish of "Thousands of mansions in Ande, sheltering the poor people in the world".

Wow!

Just as everyone wanted to continue checking, a violent storm and wind raged the heavens and the earth, drowning everything.

The crowd flickered again and returned to the hall again.

"Miss Du, can you show the thatch to the old man again?" Mr. Su stepped forward, his eyes burning at the thatch.

"Yes." Du Shiya was still grieving for what happened to the old man, and she had the strength to hand the thatch to Mr. Su.

"I ...... Oh my God, this ...... This turned out to be ...... It's Du Fu grass. ”

Mr. Su groped, and his old eyes were full of shock.

"Du Fu grass? May I ask Mr. Su, what is Du Fu grass? ”

Seeing that Mr. Su's attitude had changed drastically from before, one guest couldn't help but raise his doubts.

"Du Fu lived a life of exile, but he became a saint after his death."

"The so-called one person who attained the Tao and ascended to heaven even with the thatched hut where he lived in the past also has holy power."

"However, I believe you have all seen the situation just now, the real Du Fu Thatched Cottage is actually just a dilapidated thatched house."

"After Du Fu was sanctified and ascended, the thatched house he left behind in the mortal world was destroyed."

"The thatched cottage we see today is just a reconstruction of the original site by later generations."

As soon as Mr. Su's words came out, everyone suddenly realized, and secretly said that since Du Fu's thatched cottage no longer exists, then the thatch back then naturally dissipated in the dust of history.

"Then can this thatch be worth 20 million?"

Zhou Tao's face was a little unsightly, and he hurriedly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Just 20 million just want to buy the only straw left by the saint, Director Zhou, do you look down on the eternal poet saint too much?"

Mr. Su smiled disdainfully, and looked at Zhou Tao with a little more disgust.

"And how much is it worth?" Zhou Tao's eyes were gloomy and he asked tentatively.

"This thing is so valuable that it can't be estimated with money, and it can be called the treasure of the country."

If it weren't for the fact that Miss Du was a descendant of the poet, this thing would have been "handed over" to the country, and the prize given by the imperial court alone would definitely be more than 100 million. ”

Wow!

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and they were shocked by Ji Lin's super generosity.

The treasure of the country, which is worth no less than 100 million, will give it away when he says that he will give it away, and his face is not red or panting, who is this kid?

For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Lin.
