Volume 1 Don't Use the Hidden Dragon Chapter 12 Tom Returns Home to Give a Big Gift
Let's say that after breakfast on the second day, when Baoyu was sorting out some newly obtained intelligence materials in the study, Qingwen hurriedly came in and reported: "Second master, Ermen famous cigarettes sent a post, saying that there is an old man visiting." Baoyu frowned, a little confused, took the post and opened it.
"It was him! Originally, I was going to visit him in the near future to thank him for the gift of medicine, but I didn't want him to come by himself. Baoyu couldn't help but laugh to herself. So he confessed to Qingwen: "Go tell Mingyan, lead Master Tom to Rongxi Hall for a reception, and I'll go after changing my clothes." ”
Under the personal service of the attacker, he quickly changed into a formal dress, looked in the mirror, and the attacker helped to sort out the wrinkles on the clothes, and after finding that it was in order, he asked Qingwen to bring some tribute tea Wuyi Mountain big red robes rewarded by the palace mother, selected a few authentic handwritings and ancient poems, and went all the way to Rongxi Hall.
When she arrived at Rongxi Hall, Qingwen stepped forward to open the curtain and reported: "Second Master Bao has arrived." Mingyan greeted him and said, "Second Master Bao, Master Tom is in the main hall." "Well, that's good, you can go down first." Baoyu nodded at Mingyan.
Baoyu strode into the main hall of Rongxi Hall, and when he saw Baoyu coming in, Tom immediately stood up, greeted him and said with a smile: "Brother Bao, the foolish brother took the liberty to come to disturb, won't he be surprised?" "I saw a young man walking towards me, dressed as a scholar, if it weren't for the familiar voice, I almost didn't recognize it. Tom shaved off his beard and felt more than ten years younger, less than thirty years old.
Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "Brother Tom, I almost didn't recognize you in this outfit, how can I have time to come to the cold house today?" As he spoke, he greeted him and shook his hand affectionately, as soon as he shook his hand, he felt a force coming from Tom's hand, if there was no breakthrough in martial arts a few days ago, Baoyu would definitely make a fool of himself, but today is not the same. Baoyu is strong when he encounters strength, and he stalemates for a few breaths, regardless of superiority. Tom naturally knew that this was the mercy of the other party's subordinates, and saved him a little face.
The two sat down separately, and after Yu Chuan served a good tea, he retreated. Tom laughed at Baoyu and said, "You kid, but you can't hide it!" Nine of the ten pavilions in the capital know that the jade brother of Rongguo Mansion only knows that he is messing around in the fat powder pile every day, a complete gentleman, but I don't believe it, the last time I saw you, I felt that Brother Bao was by no means an ordinary person, and I was even more sure when I saw it today! It's only been a few days, and Brother Bao's change is really amazing. ”
Baoyu was a little embarrassed by his praise, so he had to laugh and laugh: "Brother Tom, it's ridiculous, how can the little brother afford it, he has been able to grow a little recently, and I have to thank Tom for the books he gave me. In particular, the medicine that Brother Tom sent really saved my brother's life..." "Brother Bao, why don't you talk about this, it's just a gesture, isn't that medicine said for your sister? How did it save your life again? "This made Tom a second monk who was confused.
Baoyu blushed and explained: "The sister I am talking about is not my own sister, she is my fiancée, she is the most important person in my heart, if I go, what is the fun of my life, what is the difference between being dead..." Tom couldn't help but praise when he saw it: "Brother Bao, you have such a deep affection for your fiancée, you deserve to be the most affectionate and sexual person in my generation!" With this, you brother and I have made up my mind in this life! Tom slapped his thigh and said heroically.
The two then chatted about medicine and poetry, and the conversation was very speculative. "Brother Bao, I heard that there is a poetry club in the garden of your house, and there are a lot of good works, what new works are there recently? If it's convenient, you can take it out for tasting. Tom said half-jokingly. When Baoyu heard this, she was shocked: "In the Grand View Garden, how can the poems made by the sisters be spread?" This is not a trivial matter, and you have to ask carefully. ”
Seeing Baoyu's surprised face, Tom explained: "I know a prince named Shui Rong, and we sometimes talk about poetry and poetry together, and I know it from him. He was full of praise for the sister Lin that you often mentioned in front of him, admired and admired him, and said that you kid is really a blessing! The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, these words can be heard in Baoyu's ears, and then linked to the nightmare of the previous two days, Baoyu couldn't help but tighten his heart, and said to himself: "It seems that we have to hurry." ”
Tom saw that Baoyu looked a little wrong, and asked with concern, "Brother Bao, what's wrong?" Baoyu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I just remembered an important thing and was a little distracted." "I wonder if Brother Tom has something important to visit today?" In order to hide her embarrassment, Baoyu quickly diverted the topic. Tom is a person with a bold personality, and he will not beat around the bush, so he said straight to the point: "I have an important matter to trouble Brother Bao." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as you can help, little brother." Baoyu laughed. Tom thanked him and said, "My family sent Huaxia to open up the market, and now there are few people in your country who are interested in overseas trade, but in fact, the communication between the two countries is a great thing for the country and the people, and this matter is also promising."
Now that the family has summoned me back to China, I want to entrust this matter to Brother Bao, please Brother Bao don't postpone it, and I can only trust Brother Bao as a brother. I know that although Brother Bao has no interest in business, he does have channels in this area, so I should do him a favor. As a token of gratitude, I only give the reserve price for these goods, and the profits earned belong to the Bao brothers. In the future, the transaction of goods between your country and your country will be entrusted to the Bao brothers. ”
Baoyu lowered her head and pondered for a while, considering the pros and cons and feasibility of this matter. Although Baoyu regards money as dung, considering that if she wants to be born in the world in the future, she wants to have some self-protection power in this cannibalistic society, and the sisters of the forest guard and the Daguanyuan are thoughtful, and it is unrealistic to have a certain amount of financial resources.
Tom's meaning is that he needs a channel for the sale of goods, and cooperating with Sister Bao's family is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. After thinking about it, Baoyu reluctantly agreed. Then the two discussed some details, Tom took out the token of handover, and gave Baoyu the key to the church infirmary, and received Baoyu's thanks, and then hurriedly left.
