"Young man, you have analyzed the way of being an official so thoroughly, are you interested in transferring to the capital? My old man has a little bit of self-possession, and I can help you with this if you want to. ”

Li Yuanlang replied calmly: "The novel words of the five senses theory are just feelings in my actual work, and I have not done enough in front of your boss, I need to immerse myself in the following and learn more, accumulate experience and my own ability." Thank you for your love for me, I still do a good job as the main worker, and lead the people of Shuiming Township to live a prosperous life as soon as possible. ”

"Well, it's okay, I didn't praise a few words and fluttered, which shows that you, a young man, are not proud and know how to be humble, and you are a malleable talent." Old Man Gu nodded with satisfaction.

Li Yuanlang "chuckled" in his heart, this was the old man throwing bait to test him. Thanks to his refusal, otherwise the good impression left in the early stage would have been in vain.

What are the habits of the Gu family? So fond of testing people? First there is Gu Zhenggang, and then there is the old man, if you are not careful, you will fall into the trap they weave, you really have to be cautious and cautious.

After chatting with Old Man Gu, Li Yuanlang said goodbye. The moment the door closed, I felt cold. Okay, I'm sweating, where is chatting, it's clearly a big test.

Hearing the sound of Li Yuanlong's door closing, Shui Tingyue from the opposite room was the first to run out and asked him how he was talking to his grandfather?

"Okay." Li Yuanlang replied lightly.

Subsequently, Shui Qingzhang, Gu Hongyan and Gu Zhenggang also walked out, and Shui Qingzhang asked, "What topic did the old man talk about with you?" ”

"Theory of the Five Senses." Li Yuanlang replied.

"It's a new topic, the first time I've heard of it." Shui Qingzhang put his hands behind his back, savoring the meaning of the theory of five senses.

"It's not new." Gu Zhenggang replied with a smile: "Before you came, the old man asked me and my eldest brother, and we both explained it to him, but he was not satisfied, why did he want to ask about Yuen Long again, I really like to go all the way to the dark, and it is not over if I don't ask." ”

"Who's speaking ill of me behind my back?" As the voice spoke, a tall and stout man appeared in front of everyone.

In his fifties, Sanqi's hairstyle is combed and shiny, and at first glance, it is almost the same as Gu Hongyan's face, very similar.

"No, big brother, we're just talking about our dad mentioning the five senses theory to Yuen Long again." Listening to the tone, this man should be the boss of the Gu family, Gu Zhengchuan, the deputy mayor of Shencheng City.

Shui Qingzhang introduced Li Yuanlong to Gu Zhengchuan, "I've heard of you a long time ago, you are the protagonist of this family tonight, don't let us down." ”

"Thank you uncle for reminding me, I will be good to Tingyue." Li Yuenlang's answer was very real, and his eyes were as clear as water.

Behind Gu Zhengchuan stood a man and a woman, both of whom seemed to be over thirty years old. The man looks very distinctive, combing his big back hair, wearing Buddhist beads on his wrists, and playing with walnuts in his right hand, looking cynical.

Looking at the woman again, Li Yuanlang was shocked, not that the woman's beautiful appearance surprised him, but that this face made Li Yuanlang seem familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere?

Shui Tingyue took the initiative to introduce that the man's name is Gu Chuang, the eldest son of Gu Zhengchuan, and currently serves as the vice president of the Shencheng Entrepreneurs Association and the chairman of the Soaring Group.

The woman's name is Gu Liuyan, the daughter of Gu Zhenggang, and a film and television actor. Because both of them are older than Shui Tingyue, following Shui Tingyue's name, Li Yuanlang called the two cousins and cousins respectively.

Gu Chuang was very cold to Li Yuanlang, and symbolically shook hands with Li Yuanlang, but his hand was touched for a moment and immediately released. It seems that Li Yuen Long has some kind of infectious disease, for fear of being infected.

Gu Liuyan? No wonder it looks familiar, it turns out that I often see this face on TV. In Li Yuenlang's impression, the film and television dramas that Gu Liuyan participated in were all supporting roles, either playing a junior or a fireworks girl, very charming and coquettish, which may be related to her natural charm and charm.

didn't shake hands with Gu Liuyan, Li Yuanlang called "cousin", Gu Liuyan frowned slightly, I don't know if I was dissatisfied with Li Yuanlang's name, or I didn't look down on Li Yuanlang at all, anyway, similar to Gu Chuang, I was not interested in Li Yuanlang.

Of course, Li Yuanlang won't mind, he is married to Shui Tingyue, not her cousin, they can do whatever they want, their attitude is not important, as long as Old Man Gu agrees, Shui Qingzhang and Gu Hongyan do not object, the key is that Shui Tingyue is willing, this wife can't run out of his palm.

After a brief meeting, the three sisters of the Gu family and Shui Qingzhang went to the old man's room to pay New Year's greetings and talk, and only Gu Chuang, Gu Liuyan and Shui Tingyue Li Yuen Long were left in the living room.

Gu Chuang lazily sat down on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, took out a big cigar and was just about to light it, but Gu Liuyan snatched it away, glared at him viciously and said, "Grandpa doesn't let you smoke in this house, and you forget your dog memory." ”

"This old man has been smoking all his life, and when he is old, he quit smoking, and he won't let others smoke." Gu Chuang rubbed his nose with his finger helplessly, and asked Li Yuanlang in turn: "I heard that you are a township chief called what township, you are quite poor there, right?" ”

Shui Tingyue immediately corrected: "That's called Shuiming Township, and Yuen Long is not only the head of the township, but also the secretary." ”

"What's the difference? It's not just a country cadre. Gu Chuang pursed his lips disapplauded.

"Cousin, don't talk with thorns, what's wrong with the country cadres? The country cadres are no worse than you, the chairman. Shui Tingyue heard the discord in Gu Chuangchuang's words, and immediately became angry.

"Xiaoyue, my cousin is that kind of person, you are looking for anger when you deal with him, let's go to another room, I just brought you a few cosmetics and clothes from abroad, see if you like it or not." Gu Liuyan came out at the right time to stop it, quelled the fight in the nest within the family, and pulled Shui Tingyue and left.

"Go ahead, I'll talk to my cousin." Shui Tingyue was worried that Li Yuanlang would be sneered at by Gu Chuang, but Li Yuanlang was very confident and smiled at her, signaling her to go with confidence, he could handle the things here.

As soon as the two sisters left, Gu Chuang fiddled with his mobile phone, and he didn't raise his eyelids at all, Li Yuanlang didn't bird Li Yuanlang at all, in his eyes, Li Yuanlang was a countryman, not at the same level as him, where did the city and the countryman come from the common language, there was nothing to talk about.

Li Yuanlang looked at Gu Chuang with a smile, and when he saw the walnuts he put on the table, he walked over to say hello and took it in his hand after getting permission, and looked at it carefully for a long time.

When Gu Chuang saw it, he snorted coldly in his nose, looked at Li Yuanlang with slanted eyes and asked, "You, a country secretary, still know how to play walnuts?" ”

"I don't know very much, but I know a little bit about it." Li Yuanlang put the walnuts on the table and said: "Walnuts, we have them in the mountains, but they are wild walnuts, and they can't be compared with this kind of walnuts that have been fried in the sky." However, I've played before, and I have a pair at home, but I can't play because of my identity. ”

"Oh, what kind of variety of walnuts are yours, aren't they fake?"

"It's not fake, it's a friend of mine who gave it to me, and I gambled on the green skin, four buildings." Li Yuanlang said lightly.

"Four buildings? Gambling on green skins? Gu Chuang looked at Li Yuanlang in disbelief.

Don't blame him for this expression, the four buildings are a veteran variety, it is stocky and solemn, especially the obvious characteristics of the bottom and bottom lines, it is a chrysanthemum radial shape, which is very attractive.

At present, the four buildings are the highest purchase price of gambling green skin, what is gambling green skin? It is to buy and sell walnuts with a rind. In the past, when the speculation was hot, gambling on Qingpi to open a four-building building, it was really possible to build a building in the rural hometown.

"You belong to the lion's head, you see the walnut upside down, especially like the mane shape of the stone lion at the entrance of the yamen in ancient times, its appearance is heavy, the pile is upright, the pile is short and thick, the tip is small and blunt, the lines are deep and stretched, the bottom is huge, thick and flat, the leather is easy to red, and the color of the plate is very beautiful." Li Yuanlang took out one of the walnuts, looked at the sunlight outside the window in his hand, and couldn't help shaking his head and chirping.

"How?" Gu Chuang finally raised his butt and came over, looking at Li Yuanlang in a daze.

He just likes to play with walnuts, and he is a beginner, especially if he has a soft spot for playing with panwen, and he is particularly attentive.

"Your walnut plate is good, and you have put a lot of effort into the plate and the brush. It's just that you don't pay attention to one thing, the density of walnuts is higher, you don't use olive oil and dyeing paste, but you use walnut oil, things containing oil will cause some damage to the walnut itself, a large amount of pigment and oil precipitation will cause walnut peel or color gray, dark, black lines and other phenomena, all kinds of harm but no benefit. So after playing walnuts, remember to use ointment dyes and oil products, which are the basics. ”

"Really?" Gu Chuang took it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, not to mention, the texture of one of the walnuts really has the black line that Li Yuen Long said, and in comparison, it is not as bright as before.

"Brother, I did put on walnut oil a while ago, and now there are black lines and darkening, what can I do, is there any way to repair it?" Sitting on the chair next to Li Yuen Long, Gu Chuang looked careful and consulted, and the title of acting Yuen Long has also quietly changed, from "countryman" to "brother" level.

"The black line is easy to deal with, I think this black line of yours should be brushed a few more times. As for darkening, you need to have more plates, and after a long time, these things will naturally disappear. ”

Li Yuanlang took the walnut and patiently explained to Gu Chuang: "The walnut is a process of time and painstaking accumulation, with the extension of time, the walnut is rubbing for a long time, that is, when you use the handpan and brush brush, the surface finish is getting higher and higher, the color changes from light to dark, the whole becomes crystal clear, the jade is very obvious, and it is very ornamental and collectible, so it is very important to play walnut play." ”

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." Don't look at Gu Chuang's liking to play, after he really started, it was the first time he heard someone tell him so detailed and thorough, and he suddenly looked at this future brother-in-law differently.
