Yang Lin frowned, a little unhappy, not angry because of Yang Xiao's interruption, but very unwilling to see that Master Liu. His previous performances, stealing and cheating, and disobeying yang and yin, Yang Lin could bear it. But this time it didn't work, and he couldn't forgive, because Master Liu offended his Yang Lin's rebellion and attacked the people close to him.

However, when he heard the four words of the strange old man emphasized by Yang Xiao, Yang Lin's heart still moved, and there was a trace of waves, wanting to meet this old man and see what was strange?

"Yang Xiao, you take them to the living room first and wait, and I'll come later."

Yang Xiao was about to give Qu Kun an order and send him away, when Yang Xiao's voice came in again, a little self-reproachful and a little helpless.

"Young master, they are already waiting at the door."

In an instant, a trace of anger flashed between Yang Lin's eyebrows, very unhappy, dissatisfied with Yang Xiao's self-assertion, and actually brought the person to the door of the study, which caught him off guard, worried that Qu Kun's identity would be exposed and recognized.

The two of them looked flustered at the same time, Yang Lin quickly reacted, and said calmly: "Xiao Kun, don't worry, when you go out for a while, try to retreat and turn your back to them, even if you recognize your body and don't see a real person, it can't pose any threat, let alone identify anything." ”

Qu Kun also calmed down, and the panic on his face disappeared. Seeing this situation, after everything was ready, Yang Lin glanced at Qu Kun and shouted loudly at the door: "Yang Xiao, invite the guests in." ”

The door creaked open, to Yang Lin's surprise, there were four people who came in, in addition to Master Liu, Yang Xiao, and an old man, there was also one more servant, and Master Liu helped the old man left and right, slowly walked into the study, and walked towards Yang Lin.

"Xiao Qu, you go down first, I'll have someone call you if there's something."

"Yes, young master."

Qu Kun lowered his head, bowed down and left just in time, and slowly retreated, without attracting anyone's attention.

However, as soon as Qu Kun passed by the old man and was about to walk out of the door, the old man, who had always been very calm, suddenly looked a little excited, turned his head to look at Qu Kun, but Qu Kun's figure had disappeared. In an instant, the old man regained his previous composure, and nothing happened.

It seems that this old man is usually really strange, and his sudden move did not arouse the concern of the two people around him, and because it happened in an instant, Yang Xiao did not notice it. Yang Lin, who was in the upper seat, was looking at the three of them from beginning to end, and the whole process was very clear, although the old man's expression changed for a short time, and disappeared in a flash in his old face and cloudy eyes, Yang Lin still caught it.

At that moment, for the old man's reaction, Yang Lin trembled in his heart for no reason, and said secretly: "Could it be that this old man knows Qu Kun and sees Qu Kun's identity?" ”

Yang Lin couldn't think about it more, the four of them had already come to the front, standing not far from the desk, the three of them lowered their heads, only the old man looked at Yang Lin calmly, without the slightest compliment, very calm, and everyone behaved.

"Master Liu, hurry up and help the old man sit down, don't be tired of the old man."

Then, Yang Lin tilted his head slightly and ordered: "Yang Xiao, go prepare some tea, don't treat the guests slowly." ”

The word guest, Yang Lin bit extremely heavy, emphasizing very, word by word, Master Liu suddenly looked bright, so unnatural, a trace of embarrassment flowed between his eyebrows and eyes, and he didn't dare to face Yang Lin directly, and his heart was empty.

In the face of Yang Lin's polite attitude, the old man's performance seemed arrogant, he didn't have any words, he sat on the chair with the support of the servant, and looked directly at Yang Lin again, a little abrupt, a little rude, and a weird feeling, the old man was too quiet.

"Old man, I don't know what your name is, why did you come to the dental office? Is there anything I can do for you? Yang Lin was still disgusted with Master Liu, and deliberately ignored him, first asking the old man.

An even more surprising scene appeared, the old man did not react to Yang Lin's inquiry, and still sat there steadily. At the same time, I saw the servant gesturing in front of the old man's eyes, and Master Liu spoke.

"My lord, this old man is his subordinate father-in-law, named Zhai Dakun, I know that you like foreign culture and have the same hobbies, this time I am here to present you with books and some skilled skills, and exchange some experiences."

Contrary to Master Liu's expectations, Yang Lin did not show joy as soon as he heard the Western things, but said without being salty or light: "Oh, it turned out to be your Lord Taishan, since you are exchanging experiences with me this time, why don't you ignore me, many words, but no response, do you think that the official body is soft-spoken, so he doesn't care about me very much?" ”

has been in the officialdom for many years, Master Liu is a person with exquisite thoughts, but with a little dialing, he understood the reason for Yang Lin's unhappiness, and immediately explained: "My lord, you don't know, my father-in-law is a deaf and dumb person, so he can't hear what you say, although he knows some lip language, but he is old and a little far away, so he can't see what you say, so he will have this performance, and I hope that my lord Haihan." ”

It seemed to verify what Master Liu said, but after seeing the servant gesturing for a while, the old man sat very skillfully and responded, his hands were also gesturing, smiling, and he spoke to Yang Lin, the servant.

"My lord, my lord is greeting you, expressing his willingness to donate all the books and some gadgets in the house, some of which are improved by my lord on the basis of foreigners, and will be different from some Western gadgets."

At this time, I don't know if I was showing off, or emphasizing, or both, Master Liu interjected: "My father-in-law once drew a picture of the "Autumn Forest Walking Staff" in his early years, and dedicated it to the palace, which was very appreciated by Lord Qianlong. Because of this, Lord Qianlong ordered the compilation of the Siku Quanshu to begin. ”

The servant translated synchronously, and Zhai Dakun showed a smug look at the right time, but for some reason, Yang Lin felt that there was a negative emotion behind the old man's pride, which was so complicated, and the smug look was not from the bottom of his heart, but a little reluctant.

Although he felt strange in his heart, Yang Lin didn't say that feeling, but asked: "Old Mr. Zhai has such an achievement, which is really admirable, I don't know why the old man gave those books and skilled skills?" ”

The old man was still calm and relaxed, and he was not surprised by Yang Lin's words, but Master Liu was embarrassed, and he was ashamed and speechless. At this time, Zhai Dakun made a gesture to Master Liu again, as if he had already discussed, Master Liu instantly understood, and said to Yang Lin: "My lord, my subordinates will go out first, my father-in-law wants to talk to you alone." ”

"Well, okay, you go down first."

At this time, Yang Lin saw that the servant did not leave, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and talked alone, he didn't know sign language. At this moment, Yang Lin realized that this servant seemed to be more trustworthy to Zhai Dakun than his son-in-law, and muttered secretly in his heart: "Maybe the next conversation is a little embarrassing, and it will only embarrass Master Liu, and he can't get off the stage." ”

There were only three people in the study, quietly, and after Master Liu's footsteps disappeared completely, Zhai Dakun raised his hands again and expressed his intention to Yang Lin, why did he dedicate books to Yang Lin.

"Lord Yang, what happened a few days ago, the old man has learned that my unsuccessful son-in-law has offended you, and he has been hurting your family by not knowing how to do it, I hope these things can make up for his mistakes, I hope you can forgive him and give him another chance to run an errand in the dental shop."

While the servant was translating, he took out a booklet from his arms, slowly walked in front of Yang Lin, and handed it over with respectful hands.

Although Yang Lin hesitated in his heart and was unwilling to forgive Master Liu, he did not hesitate with both hands, instinctively took the booklet and slowly unfolded it. In an instant, Yang Lin's eyes were deeply attracted by the gift list above, not a dazzling array of wealth and jewelry, but a dazzling variety of books, covering ancient and modern China and foreign countries, including astronomy and geography, and all kinds of latest scientific books.

Not only that, but also a large number of names of various equipment, microscopes, experimental instruments, mechanical equipment and a large number of experimental raw materials, all of which are complete sets.

Yang Lin's heart was moved, and he was gradually conquered by the things above, these things are urgently needed by Yang Lin, and they may not be able to be bought with money, and even if they can be bought, they may not be so complete. As if he could feel Yang Lin's reaction, Zhai Dakun looked at it with a smile, and there was a confident aura lingering all over his body.

"Forget it, I'll give Master Liu another chance, anyway, Yang Xiao and Zhao Min have not been harmed, they have been in Guangzhou Mansion for a long time, and there is no one who is familiar with Guangzhou Mansion."

Yang Lin muttered in his heart, closed the booklet neatly, and said loudly: "Okay, I promise you the terms of the transaction." (To be continued.) )
