Chapter 358: The Origin of the Silver Needle
84_84925 Lin Fan sat opposite Old Man Sun, Sun Qiurong also sat down, she personally poured wine for Lin Fan and her father, and then sat aside, no longer speaking, it seemed that she was willing to play a supporting role today.
"Thank you Mr. Lin for curing my legs from paralysis." Old man Sun picked up the wine glass and said to Lin Fan: "This cup is grateful." Then he drank it all down, without any ambiguity.
"The old man is polite." Lin Fan looked flattered, and also picked up the wine glass and drank the high wine in the glass.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Qiurong went to pour two more glasses of wine, and Old Man Sun took the glass again, "This cup, I apologize to Mr. Lin." ”
"Old Sun is serious." Lin Fan smiled.
"Living to this point, I can't be untrustworthy, I was originally fined three cups." Sun Lao smiled heartily this time, and there was no rogue behavior like the last time he pretended to be asleep.
"Dad, your body is important, how can you drink three glasses? And today make an exception for you to drink, drink slowly. Sun Qiurong admonished beside her.
"Okay, okay, it's more verbose than your mother." Old man Sun replied helplessly.
Sun Qiurong shook her head, just gave Lin Fan a look, as if she was saying to drink slowly.
Lin Fan understood, put down the wine glass, picked up the chopsticks, and said, "Old man, let's drink slowly and eat the vegetables first." ”
"Okay, then eat the vegetables first, don't be restrained." Old man Sun smiled.
Then he ate some dishes, Sun Qiurong accompanied him to drink a drink, and he didn't drink anymore, just sat next to him and ate slowly, without speaking.
Lin Fan and Old Man Sun each drank about five cups, and because it was noon, they didn't dare to drink more.
After eating, the three of them sat in the living room and talked, today the old man Sun drank some wine, and the conversation box seemed to be opened, and said: "You still don't know the origin of the silver needle, let me tell you, it is a family heirloom handed down by the ancestors of the Mei family, it has been hundreds of years, and the silver needle has no signs of destruction, but the longer it is preserved, the more glorious it becomes, this is made of top-grade Mithril." ”
"I've heard that it's coming from within the court." Lin Fan said tentatively.
"Yes, you are really right, it is the silver needle that came out of the palace, the ancestors of the Mei family were all court doctors, during the Guangxu period, the palace was strict, and the Mei family was afraid of getting involved in this kind of dispute, so that the people in the family were ready to leave the capital with the ancestral silver needle and a fortune, but I don't know who leaked the news out, so that escaping the capital was easy to cause panic, angered the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the entire Mei family was almost beheaded by the whole house. I heard that only the youngest son of the Mei family escaped in the end, and there was also a servant. As for whether all the other tribesmen were killed, even they didn't know, anyway, the situation at that time was extremely chaotic. The old man replied with a sigh.
"And there are stories like this?" Lin Fan was stunned.
"That old servant took the last bloodline of the Mei family, afraid of being hunted down, and finally came to the extremely barbaric and remote land of Nanban at that time, and the ancestral silver needle was left with only one big needle between fleeing all the way, didn't you find that there was something wrong with the big needle in your set of silver needles?" Old man Sun asked.
"I saw that the big needle was imitated later, and the material and plum blossom brand were a little different." Lin Fan nodded, he had indeed discovered the difference between the big needle a long time ago, but he didn't have time to think about it before.
Large needle, 4 inches long, thick needle body, slightly rounded needle edge, used for joint edema.
Lin Fan rarely uses this big needle, so he doesn't take it seriously, and he doesn't understand the origin of the silver needle, as long as the silver needle can be used well in his hand. Moreover, with the help of the yin and yang beads in his body, he used the most millineedles, which were thin and easy to carry, and not easy for people to notice.
"In the end, this silver needle actually fell into your hands, goodbye to the day, what a coincidence." Old man Sun smiled, "In addition, that big needle is in the hands of the Mei family, and their Mei family has always wanted to bring the ancestral silver needle home, this is their long-cherished wish." ”
Lin Fan's heart sank, he dared not to talk to Sun Qiurong about cooperation today, but that Old Man Sun was still not dead on this set of silver needles branded with plum blossoms, on the surface, he was apologizing, but he was really talking about silver needles.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan suddenly didn't say much, and continued to listen to what Old Man Sun was saying.
"The silver needle that has been passed down for hundreds of years, this is worth a lot of money in itself, I know that this silver needle Mr. Lin can use it, and will use it, and can use it to use the magic of the silver needle, but now with all due respect, if he can, can Mr. Lin sell the silver needle, of course, the price is definitely not low." Old man Sun finally said his purpose.
Last time he wanted to buy it with a tough method, but today he began to talk about the past and began to reason.
The purpose is still the same, that is, to get the silver needle from Lin Fan.
"This ...... I'm afraid not. Lin Fan replied with some embarrassment, "The silver needle is true of the Mei family, and it is not wrong for them to want to take back the ancestral silver needle, but now that the silver needle is in my hand, I also need it to treat people." Besides, in my heart, the quality of the silver needle is not how many years it has been inherited, and it is not something that anyone can get if they have it, but to play the role of the silver needle itself. Now that it is in my hands, it has played its role, I think the ancestors of the Mei family also thought so when they made the silver needle, right? Make the most of it, not just put it away because it's precious. ”
Old man Sun smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "I can't tell you how to be reasonable." ”
"That's the way it is." Lin Fan insisted and said.
"That's it, I won't say more, I'm a little tired after drinking."
"Then don't disturb the old man's rest." Lin Fan got up very interestingly.
"Xiao Rong, send Mr. Lin." Old man Sun got up, his feet were under Lin Fan's needles, and there was Chinese medicine soaked in it afterwards to activate the blood veins, and now there was no problem at all in walking, and after saying this, he walked up the stairs by himself.
Sun Qiurong sent Lin Fan to the door and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry to make Mr. Lin embarrassed." ”
"Nothing, thank you for your hospitality today." Lin Fan smiled, and didn't want Sun Qiurong to send it, and left by himself.
Old man Sun came to the second floor, in his study, thought for a long time, and finally picked up a mobile phone on the table, dialed out, and after the phone was connected, he said helplessly: "Lao Mei, Mr. Lin seems to need the silver needle very much, and he refuses to sell it, I can't do it here." ”
It turned out that he told the people of the Mei family about this directly, of course, this was originally the Mei family's thing, and Old Man Sun also knew that his old friend Lao Mei's expectations for this silver needle would naturally say it.
"Still won't?" An old and helpless voice came from the other side.
The phone was silent for a long time, and finally Lao Mei's resolute and even cruel voice came: "This silver needle belongs to Mei's family, no matter what, I want this thing back." ”。
