Chapter 249: Lobbyist
Snowflakes are like catkins fluttering in the air, swaying down, silently, the doors and windows of the room are ajar, wisps of cold wind seep in, the charcoal fire in the corner is vigorous, and the room is as warm as spring, but there is not much cold.
"Those damn thieves bald ......"
The two sat opposite each other, raised their glasses and drank soju, Qingyun Taoist scolded regardless of several degrees, it can be seen that he is still very concerned about his daughter, but for some reason, the relationship between father and daughter is so stiff.
Han Rui guessed in his heart, and naturally echoed in his mouth and said: "That is, those monks, others may not, but playing tricks is their forte, and the surname of Xiyin Dao is relatively high... Well, it's more pure and kind, so naturally I can't argue with them. β
"That is, Xiyin has been well-behaved since she was a child, her surname is supple, and she has no ......quarrel with the world," Qingyun agreed as a matter of course, and said angrily: "These thieves actually dare to bully her, I have written this down, and it is indispensable to settle accounts with them." β
Han Rui's head is full of black lines, supple and well-behaved, is he talking about Li Xiyin.
Qingyun half sighed lightly, half sighed happily, and said triumphantly: "However, she is also a little strong, unwilling to admit defeat easily, and her surname is similar to mine." β
Fortunately, it is just that the surname is similar, not the same body shape, Han Rui muttered in his heart, only resigned, only caring about harmony, as if recalling the memories of the past, Qingyun Taoist priest pondered: "When she was young, it was like this, once she ......"
Although it was a little messy and out of bounds, Han Rui listened carefully and didn't bother until Daoist Qingyun sighed: "But in the past few years, maybe it's because of her mother, but she doesn't pay much attention to me." β
"Well, I've explained to her many times, and her mother ...... Forget it, don't mention it. Qingyun said, with a sigh of helplessness on his face, unbearable to look back.
There were some bloody plots in his mind, thinking that he understood, Han Rui immediately comforted and said: "Dao Elder don't have to be sad, the so-called people can't be resurrected after death, the matter has passed, and Xiyin will figure it out sooner or later." β
"Bah, what nonsense is the boy, saying that whoever died, you died." Qingyun glared angrily, and spit flew.
cough, wiping his cheeks, Han Rui was dumbfounded, could it be a mistake?
I only heard Qingyun say angrily: "Her mother is alive and well, she is the master of the pilgrimage palace, she doesn't know but talks nonsense, be careful of the poor road and turn her face......"
Damn, it's really unexpected, I thought it was Qingyun who became a Taoist priest and abandoned his wife and daughter, but this is not the case, and it sounds like things are very complicated, Han Rui was stunned, but now he didn't have the heart to inquire, and hurriedly apologized.
After half a sound, Qingyun Daoist's anger dissipated a little, and he snorted: "Boy, listening to you, it seems that you are very familiar with Xiyin?" β
"There are only a few faces." Han Rui smiled calmly: "However, Jing Zhuo has a good relationship with her, and she admires Daoist Xiyin very much. β
"Zheng family lady......" Qingyun nodded slightly, as if he had heard of it.
"Naturally, I have always admired the Taoist chief." Han Rui said cheekily: "But I have repeatedly offended the Dao Chief, and I hereby punish myself with three cups to make amends, I hope the Dao Chief will not blame." β
"Boy, if you have anything to say, even if you say it bluntly, it has been delaying for a long time, so don't cover it up anymore." Qingyun said, quite impatient, nothing to do, either annihilation or theft, he may not know this sentence, but he understands this meaning.
Ahaha, Han Rui was a little embarrassed, but he actually understood that he was too tender, this kind of side-knocking thing, if it was handed over to Qian Xu and Han Hui, it would definitely not be like himself, and people would see through it at a glance.
However, since it had been spread out, Han Rui did not intend to hide it, hesitated, kept an eye on it, and said, "Dao Chief, I want to ask you for advice on how to refine charcoal. β
"I guess so." Qingyun said indifferently, and then there was no sound.
For no reason, naturally he can't say he wants it, and others will give it, so Han Rui is also very interested, and said softly: "What is the meaning of the Taoist, if it is agreed, I can ......"
Flicking his sleeves lightly, Qingyun said: "Master Han, you have a dishonest heart, which makes it difficult for the poor road to decide." β
"What do you mean by that?" Han Rui asked, deliberately pretending to be confused.
"Poor Dao has never revealed his tone, how is Childe sure that Poor Dao knows how to refine charcoal." Qingyun smiled and said: "Besides, after the charcoal is refined, what does it look like, Gongzi doesn't ask in detail, how can it not arouse people's suspicions." β
Hehe, Han Rui smiled, touched his head, a little naΓ―ve, it is really a common problem of otaku, it is okay to give advice, but the execution ability is extremely poor, and it is necessary to strengthen the experience.
While reflecting, Han Rui said solemnly: "Okay, in fact, I want to know the kind of ...... that can be burned in the Dao Chang gourd By the way, what does the Taoist chief call that kind of 'water'? β
"I don't have any names." Qingyun said, blinking his eyes, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, he sneered, and finally couldn't help but laugh.
Han Rui said strangely: "Dao Chief, what's wrong?" β
"There's nothing, I suddenly remembered that there was something urgent to do in the Laojun Palace, so Poor Dao said goodbye first, and when I was free, I would come to visit again." Qingyun Daoist said, ignoring Han Rui's retention, and ignoring the wind and snow outside, he left in a hurry, if he doesn't leave now, when will he stay, can he stay and expose his tricks to Han Rui, but this kid is too cola, he actually ...... Han Rui didn't know why, and went up to say goodbye, but when he arrived at the door, he saw that Daoist Qingyun had already walked away, and kept reflecting and thinking about it, what's going on, he obviously said it well, did he feel that he was not sincere.
Alas, I just want to know how to make kerosene from coal mines...... Wait, Han Rui's aura flashed, his face was flushed, like a fire, it was very hot, it's over, it's really embarrassing, it's embarrassing, it's no wonder that Qingyun Daoist has reacted so strangely.
For a moment, Han Rui only felt embarrassed, hated that he couldn't go back again, he didn't even understand the most basic situation, thinking of how ridiculous and ignorant he was about the temptation just now.
Damn, I actually forgot that what is refined from coal mines is coal tar, not kerosene.
Heaven and earth, even if you are from a liberal arts background, you have taken chemistry classes anyway, how can you make such an unforgivable mistake, patronize and be happy, speak without going through your brain, and subconsciously think that kerosene must be extracted from coal mines, Han Rui raised his head speechlessly, and burst into tears.
No, Han Rui pondered, what he smelled just now was indeed the smell of kerosene, he used it often when he was a child, and it was impossible to smell it wrong, how to explain this, rubbing his head, Han Rui finally remembered that kerosene should be the product of oil decomposition, the problem is that there seems to be no oil distribution in the Guanzhong area.
Ah, Han Rui wanted to look up to the sky and shout, not to mention the shame, and wasted most of his feelings for a long time, he was happy in vain, his dream of making a fortune was shattered, and with a depressed mood, Han Rui returned to the room, seeking comfort, but he was a little unwilling, thinking about when, and then go to the Laojun Palace to find Qingyun Taoist to understand the specific situation.
The next day, in the early morning, the sky was clear again, but the clouds obscured the sun, and occasionally a few rays of light were transmitted down, reflecting the earth, but it was a little less cold, got up from the warm couch, washed and eaten, practiced calligraphy for an hour, and completed today's schedule, Han Rui began to be idle and bored again.
couldn't help but think of yesterday's incident, Han Ruijun's face was still ruddy, and he shook his head vigorously, as if he could wave the embarrassing feeling out of his head, but he was also thinking, now that he is free, do you want to go to the Laojun Palace, and inquire clearly, if there is no oil in Guanzhong, then how did Qingyun Taoist refine kerosene.
It's better to act than excited, and when Han Rui was about to get up and leave, a servant came from outside the door and said, "Lang Jun, there is a guest visiting." β
After receiving the greeting post presented by the servant, Han Rui opened it casually, with a happy face, ordered to prepare a banquet, and walked quickly to the courtyard gate, only to see that on the steps, a young man with a clean appearance stood with his hands down, and when he saw Han Rui, he also showed a warm smile, and arched his hand to greet: "Brother Han, I haven't seen you for a long time, everything is okay?" β
Haha, Han Rui chuckled and replied: "It's naturally fine, but it's not as good as Brother Shangguan, and his demeanor is becoming more and more outstanding." β
The person who came was Shangguan Yi, and under Han Rui's enthusiastic invitation, he pushed for a moment, walked into the courtyard side by side with him, and laughed loudly: "It's indeed nonsense, no one in the capital knows, Brother Han married the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, a perfect match, tender and sweet, how can it be bad, it's really envious." β
Yan Yan smiled and walked into the hall, entertained guests with wine, greeted politely, and chatted with the sea from all over the world, gradually, Han Rui also noticed a little clue, and said with a smile: "Brother Shangguan, your noble people are busy, and you are not on an errand in the palace today, should you come to me to catch up with the old days." β
"That's it, isn't it?" Shangguan Yi said with a smile: "Now in the capital, there are not many people in Yangzhou, if you don't move around much, the affection is weak." β
"That's a lot of talk." Han Rui agreed and raised his glass.
After drinking a cup of accompaniment, Shangguan Yi took the opportunity to smile and said: "Brother Han thinks so, it is naturally the best, they are all villagers in the township, and they are far away, so it is indispensable to help each other. β
"Brother Shangguan's words seem to mean something." Han Rui raised his wine and touched his lips, and said with an inexplicable smile: "It's similar to a lobbyist." β
"You can see it." Shangguan Yi smiled cutely, and did not hide it, and said gently: "Brother Han, I am a few years older than you, so I am a big man, I call myself a brother, and I have a few words of exhortation, you won't mind." β
"The Laws of Nature." Han Rui said solemnly: "Please give me advice." β
Shangguan Yi sighed sadly: "Shangguan Yi was young and bereaved, lonely and miserable, thanks to the relief of the villagers in Yangzhou, he has to have today, the villagers are kind and righteous, but they don't know how to repay it, and they are ashamed, so they have to remember it in their hearts, and they dare not forget it from time to time." β
Han Rui listened carefully, nodded solemnly, and said comfortingly: "The villagers help you, just for kindness, and don't ask you for anything in return." β
"I naturally know it, so I'm even more grateful." Shangguan Yi sighed: "The villagers in the township, called the township, but they seem to be relatives, between relatives, if there are any contradictions and misunderstandings, just explain it clearly, will there be any grievances, Brother Han thinks this is not the truth." β
Han Rui smiled and said calmly: "Brother Shangguan, those apprentices have come to you, what did they say?" β
