Chapter 40: Asking for Hardship
Lian Shaoda was just about to speak, but his eyes were uncontrollably attracted by the various calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the room.
Three friends in the cold year, a gentleman in flowers, cold and arrogant, and a strange character. Each painting is accompanied by verses, and each is a masterpiece he had never heard of before. Especially the half poem inscribed on the painting of a red plum: Who is hidden in the lonely standard and proud of the world, and who is late for the same flowering? He was so amazed that he read it upside down several times, and when he was guessing who wrote the poem, Bai Tang smiled and said, "This is written by my master." How is it? β
"Wonderful! Wonderful poetry! "Lian Shaoda's desire to seek a teacher for his son is even hotter! He came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and said in a slow tone, "Your master is rich in five cars, and he is only eight buckets high, which is rare in the world!" It's not an exaggeration to call him a big Confucian. β
Bai Tang smiled lightly: "Exactly." β
Lian Shaoda saw the painting in front of Bai Tang's case again, and his eyes were sharp: this is a picture of Longteng Xiangyun, painted with lacquer, the pen and ink are smooth, the shape is vivid, and the end is the master's pen - he gasped, looked at Bai Tang's eyes shocked and regretted jealousy mixed together, and after a long while, he took a long breath and sighed: "Bai Tang, you are a blessed child!" β
Bai Tang was puzzled: "Really?" β
Lian Shaoda blushed slightly, turned his head and said, "It is your greatest blessing that you can find a master like Xu Danling." β
"That's true." Bai Tang sneered, "Who let my father be born but not raised?" β
Lian Shaoda's anger jumped up again, and he forcibly held back: "You know your own situation!" Families have family rules, clans have clan lawsβ"
Bai Tang coldly interrupted his words: "The initiator, what does it do?" β
Lian Shaoda can't bear it anymore!
Yes, he is the mastermind, but the stinky girl dares to curse him to cut off his children and grandchildren, it is too vicious!
"Begonia!" He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Anyway, I'm your father!" I gave you this skin that you are wearing now! You can be appreciated by Xu Danling and accepted as an apprentice because you are a man! You can have today's achievements, to put it bluntly, I gave it to you! β
Bai Tang's voice was smiling, and his phoenix eyes were full of mockery: "So, should I be grateful to you?" Thank you for making me gender confused and jerked off for over a decade? Even if I have learned from a famous teacher, I ask you, how should I end up in my life? β
If it weren't for his selfishness and viciousness, how could the poor original owner fall into the water and die?
If it weren't for this guy, how could he be in such an embarrassing situation?
Men are not men, women are not women.
Shengsheng has changed from a straight man of steel to a lala?
Lian Shaoda suddenly squeaked and was speechless. It took a while before he said: "How do you know if Saion loses his horse?" In life, there are always gains and losses. How can it be perfect? His eyes rolled slightly, "Your master has great powers, and he will definitely be able to think of a way to get the best of both worlds!" β
"My master?" Bai Tang squinted his eyes, like a lazy Persian cat in the winter sun.
"yes!" Lian Shaoda said a little eagerly, "It's better to invite your master here, let's sit down as a family and discuss it, and ask him to think of a way so that you can get out." β
Bai Tang smiled and said, "It's a good idea." β
"Right!" Lian Shaoda's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed. "His old man has the grace of reinvention for you, at that time, we must thank him well!"
Bai Tang couldn't help nodding: "That's right." β
"Then why don't you invite him to your house?" Lian Shaoda is ecstatic, as long as Xu Danling sees Bai Jin's talents, why worry about apprenticeship?
Bai Tang smiled suddenly, spread his hands and said, "However, I don't know where the master and his old man are!" β
Lian Shaoda's smiling face stiffened suddenly!
"You-"
"As I said a long time ago, the master travels all over the world. It was also a whim to take me as a disciple. Bai Tang only made a helpless regret, "I'm afraid that even his name will not be accurate." Otherwise," he smiled slightly, "how can everyone dig three feet into the ground and find his whereabouts?" β
Lian Shaoda was so angry that his cheeks bulged!
"You dare to fool me?! I don't believe it, you don't have any contact with him! Lian Shaoda's expression was hideous, he approached Bai Tang and lowered his voice, "You're just a waste girl, no matter how much you learn, it's useless!" But Bai Jin is different, he is the only bloodline in my practice of Shaoda! As long as he can worship Xu Danling as a teacher, he will become a great weapon in the future! When the time comes, your sisters will be able to follow suit! Think about how you're going to get married? But it's not the same with a big backer. Bai Tang, you are a smart person, you should understand the stakes! β
Although Bai Tang is a man in the core, he is also a man in the new era who was born in a prosperous metropolis and has undergone nine-year compulsory education. In my previous life, I have seen too many women who are far better than men. He is a little more attentive, but he gives full respect to the character or career of every girlfriend! Lian Shaoda's blatant patriarchal remarks made him sneer and said coldly: "Since I am a waste girl, you can go to Xu Danling yourself!" β
Lian Shaoda's eyes widened: "What did you say-"
Bai Tang stretched out his hand to push him away, and said lightly: "Waste girl, have a fart?" I believe that with Bai Jin's ingenuity, I will definitely be able to find my master, worship my disciples, and glorify my ancestors! β
Lian Shaoda was so angry that his eyes were split: "Bai Tang, don't toast and don't eat and drink!" β
"What can you do to me?" Baitang phoenix's eyes are like ice, full of cold crumbs.
"I-" Lian Shaoda suddenly froze, yes. What can he do with him? Beat and scold her? Threatening her? couldn't go up or down in one breath, so depressed that he almost vomited blood! Gritted his teeth and roared, "Just because I'm your father!" You have not listened to me because of disobedience. β
"How did I disobey?" Bai Tang sneered, "Even if I can't find my master, I can't influence him to accept any apprentices." Even if grandpa comes, I will say this! β
Lian Shaoda was furious: he refused to be introduced, how could they find Xu Danling? Enraged, he tried to tear off the drawing paper on the case, but before his fingers touched the paper, he screamed and screamed!
A carving knife slid across the back of his hand, blood slowly spilling out.
Bai Tang leisurely wiped the blood marks on the head of the knife, and said coldly: "Lian Shaoda, don't be embarrassed." β
Lian Shaoda's fury suddenly froze when his gaze touched the carving knife!
"This carving knifeβ" He clutched his hand and forgot the pain, only to be horrified: the carving knife looked black and inconspicuous, but it was so sharp! With his eyesight, he naturally saw what was extraordinary about it. "This isβmixed with dark iron?!"
The knife is swirled around the fingertips. Bai Tang put it back in its place: a black cowhide bag.
Lian Shaoda forgot the pain, and asked in an excited trembling voice: "You, where did you get so many Xuantie carving knives?!" β
Bai Tang understated: "My master sent it." β
Lian Shaoda is really jealous and hateful: even he doesn't have a superb dark iron carving knife, this stinky girl can have a full set! How could she be so lucky?!
After being jealous, Lian Shaoda calmed down a little.
Previously, he only thought that Xu Danling was good at painting and engraving, and he may be a master among his peers. But Bai Tang was able to imitate the essence of Wen Tong's bamboo painting, indicating that most of the people surnamed Xu were clan predecessors like the Qin family in Jiangnan. But the moment he saw Bai Tang's Xuantie carving knife, he had to suspect that Xu Danling's identity might not be as simple as he thought!
Xuantie, you can't buy it with money, but something that you can't find appears in Bai Tang's hands, what does it mean? It shows that Baitang has won Xu Danling's heart, and it also shows that Xu Danling's identity is extraordinary!
Seeing that Lian Shaoda's resentful eyes obviously carried a bit of jealousy, Bai Tang sneered: "Lian Shaoda, as long as you can find my master, I will never stop you from any plans!" Fight with you to the death, and count all the mechanisms. How? I've done my duty. β
If you can find it, you can only find a ghost!
Lian Shaoda snorted coldly twice, and walked away with a playful brush.
In the yard, he happened to meet Bai Lan who came out of the kitchen.
Bai Lan was wearing a pink-colored skirt, with pearls in her hair, slim and elegant, and the fragrance of tea lingered all over her body. Lian Shaoda was stunned unconsciously, his expression was a little softer, and he called, "Bailan." β
Bai Lan didn't have time to avoid it, and said reluctantly: "Dad." β
Lian Shaoda nodded, smelling the fragrance of tea, and the greed and regret in his eyes flashed. didn't say much, just said, "Follow your eldest brother and study hard." β
Bai Lan let out a surprised sigh. Dark road: The sun has come out of the west, and Dad even has a time to affirm the eldest brother!
Lian Shaoda first went to the hospital to treat his hand injury. In fact, the wound is not deep, just apply some medicine and simply bandage it. When he returned home, facing the expectant eyes of his wife and children, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.
Bai Tang said, he didn't know where Xu Danling was. I couldn't find him either. β
Bai Jin hurriedly said: "This is impossible! β
He sneered: "I said a long time ago that Bai Tang is a person who eats alone. She had sharp eyes and said curiously, "Shaoda, what's wrong with your hand?" β
Lian Shaoda remembered the set of Xuantie carving knives, and heaved: "Xu Danling is by no means an ordinary person. β
"That's what it is." He frowned. What did the husband find?
"You don't have to bother looking for Xu Danling anymore." He sighed weakly, "We can't find it." No one can find it! β
He's heart jumped: "What do you mean?" β
"People!" Lian Shaoda shook his head, "It's not that we can afford to provoke!" Don't be self-defeating and invite disaster. β
That is, the rich and expensive people, with their skills, of course, they can't find a trace! β
Practice Baitang, good luck!
Jealousy, anger, unwillingness and ambition were mixed together, burning Lian Shaoda's internal organs like fire.
Bai Jin hesitated: "What does Dad mean, this Xu Danling has a good identity?" Did the eldest brother say that? β
"Huh, is she willing to say? She wouldn't say a word. That's what I guessed. Alright, that's the end of this for nowβ"
"How's that going to work!" He Shi hurriedly shouted, "We can't delay Bai Jin's future!" β
"What do you want to do?" Lian Shaoda was a little impatient.
"Shaoda!" He's eyes were full of sparkling, "I admit it." β
Lian Shaoda was inexplicable: "What did you recognize?" β
He Shi whispered a few words in her husband's ear, Lian Shaoda's expression was moved, and he held her tender hands and said, "It's a method." It's just that I have to wronged you and Bai Jin again. β
"We're going to be here for a long time." He spat out a cloudy breath. It's just a name! "Shaoda, you have to go to the old mansion to say hello first."
Lian Shaoda patted his head: "It's still thoughtful!" β
In this way, he has the upper hand!
