382 Faucet Shen
Two hours later, in my apartment.
Qiu Tingting carefully inspected my new family and nodded with satisfaction, "It's not bad, it's much better than the previous one." ”
"That's, this rent is 18,000, how much is that", I smiled, "Enough has you seen, right?" Come and have some tea. ”
She walked over and sat down, "Isn't Ye Huan coming with you?" ”
"We can't always be together, it's better to be separated", I poured her tea, "and how to say, people like us are also used to living alone, quiet, tired of being together, and slowly getting lost." ”
"And after that? Just separated all the time? She looked at me.
"Of course not, we'll get together every once in a while," I said, "I used to think that I couldn't live this kind of life, but now that it's like this, I think it's good." Two people who know how to do math, even if they are friends, can't always get tired of being together, let alone lovers. Separate points, good for each other. ”
"What about your life?" She looked at me, "Can you do it without anyone taking care of you?" ”
I laughed, "To make you say as if I can't take care of myself, I left home as a teenager and went to school alone, and since then, I've been taking care of myself, and I'm used to it." ”
She didn't say anything more and nodded.
"By the way, didn't you say you had something to tell me?" I swallowed my tea, "Say it." ”
"Well, yes," she said, "I have a friend who has come back from the United States, and I want to introduce you to you." ”
"Friends?" I looked at her, "What kind of friend?" ”
"Her name is Isha, Chinese-American, Shen Qing in Chinese, the two of us are classmates, and the relationship has always been good," she said.
"Oh......" I nodded, "just to introduce me to a new friend?" It can't be that simple, right? ”
"Of course it's not that simple," she smiled, "Isa's grandmother was English, her mother was French, and although she was only a quarter Chinese, she was obsessed with Eastern metaphysics, especially Chinese Feng Shui. ”
"And then?"
"She returned to China this time for two purposes, one is to find her roots, and the other is to learn", she looked at me, "She knows that our Qiu family is a feng shui family, and she has many friends and connections in the circle, so she entrusted me to help her arrange for face-to-face communication with the first-class math masters in contemporary China." ”
"You don't want me to go, do you?" I was stunned.
"I can't think of a better person than you."
"Senior sister, aren't you making fun of me?" I put down the cup, "A real first-class math master, that has to be like Xiao Qiye, what kind of first-rate am I!" ”
"Little Seventh Master is super first-class, can I invite someone else?" She paused, "Besides, why don't you count it, although you are younger, but in terms of ability, it is estimated that there are few people in Beijing who can surpass you, right?" Why can't you represent? ”
"Tingting, let's not make this joke", I waved my hand again and again, "In the Chinese feng shui world, when it comes to masters, the first four families are Zeng, Ling, Qiu, and Tan. I know you're good to me, but if you push me up, then I'll offend a lot of people, especially some of the seniors who have become famous, and I can't afford it. ”
Qiu Tingting smiled, "I remember that when I had a party at the Qiu family in Tang Feng's apartment last year, a young man said excitedly to my manager, look at it, come back next year, I will definitely let you see the heirs of the Lin family and the Ye family, senior brother, if I remember correctly, that person should be you, right?" More than a year has passed, what's the matter, now I know that I am low-key, I know that the tree is big, and I don't want to raise my eyebrows? ”
"You provoke me", I said, "one yard to one yard, since the last incident of the fourth master, I have also learned a lesson." I just want to be a low-key feng shui master, and don't embarrass the Lin family in addition to eating with a mouthful of food, as for the fight for fame and fortune, I have no interest. ”
She looked at me, nodded, and stopped talking.
"Actually, it's not difficult to do," I said, "why don't you arrange a bureau and let the fourth master come forward, and then invite a few presidents of those various mathematical associations in Beijing to support the scene, and have an explanation?" ”
She raised an eyebrow, "Is that enough?" ”
"It should be enough", I said, "Please Xiao Qiye and Miss Ling, it is estimated that there is no possibility, the descendants of the Tan family are scattered all over the place, and it is estimated that it is not easy to find their leading figures." The fourth master is a ready-made resource, you can solve it with a phone call, so that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, why not? Fourth Master Qiu has a very high prestige in the feng shui circle of the capital, and it is not a good game to find a few presidents who are suitable for the occasion to join in the fun? ”
Qiu Tingting smiled slightly, "Senior brother, I will definitely arrange the bureau, and the fourth uncle will definitely come, but if you think that this can send Isha away, then it is a big mistake." ”
I frowned, "How do you say that?" ”
"Have you ever heard of the dragon head Shen?" She looked at me.
I was shocked, "You mean, this Isha is the descendant of Longtou Shen?" ”
She nodded, "Isa's great-grandfather is the dragon head Shen." ”
When I was a child, I listened to my grandfather's stories, and I heard the name of the dragon head Shen more than once. This person's name is Shen Yulong, a native of the Qing Dynasty, the Shen family has been in business for generations, and he has been a famous wealthy family in Shanxi since the year of Daoguang. His family's business is divided into three major businesses, the largest of which is antiques. When Shen Yulong was in charge, the Hou Shen family had 23 antique shops in the country, and it was a well-deserved boss in the antique shop, so the people in the circle at that time gave him a well-known honorific name - Dragon Head Shen.
In the twenty-second year of Guangxu, I don't know what the reason is, the Shen family changed hands all the three major lines within half a year, and then disappeared as if the world had evaporated. Some people say that something happened to the Shen family and they lost their children and grandchildren, some people say that the Shen family went to the West, and some people even say that the Shen family changed his surname to avoid trouble...... Anyway, there are different opinions and rumors, and no one knows where this family has gone. After many years, the dragon head Shen has become a legend, and it has slowly been forgotten by people.
But I haven't forgotten.
"Isha's name is Shen Qing......" I pondered for a moment, "So, the leading Shen went to the United States back then?" ”
She shook her head, "I haven't asked about this, but I guessed from Isa's words that the Shen family should have had to leave for some special reasons, because they were in a hurry when they left, and when the business changed hands, it was almost like it was given away for nothing." ”
"Longtou Shen is her great-grandfather, and she told you this personally?"
"It should be said that I guessed it myself at the earliest", she said, "I have heard the legend of the leading Shen family many times since I was a child, and I didn't take it seriously. Later, when I went to school in the United States, I met Isha, and I accidentally talked about some past events in the Chinese feng shui world, and I found that she knew very well about the situation of the three major families. When I asked her why she knew so much, she said that her family was in the antiques business when they were in China, and that her great-grandfather was very fond of making friends, and that the heads of the three major families were his friends. When I thought about it, I guess the only one who can do this is the dragon head Shen. ”
"And then you asked her?"
She smiled, "I wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect her to admit it very calmly and easily." ”
"Understood", I nodded, "The descendants of the dragon head Shen are obsessed with oriental metaphysics, and with this foundation, these masters in our domestic market are indeed enough to enter the eyes of others." ”
"So, I want you to go and sit for me", she said, "The level of the fourth uncle should be said to be not low, but if he can represent the Qiu family, I don't dare to agree." In their generation, he and Eighth Uncle were the most accomplished, but neither of them had learned the "Tiansi Bureau Spectrum", so they couldn't represent the highest level of the Qiu family at all. ”
"Tiansi Bureau?" I was stunned, "Is it the secret book that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Qiu family?" ”
"Yes!" She took a sip of tea, "It is said that the secret book is from the Zeng family, and it is part of the Zeng family's secret technique "Dividing and Forming Formation", which is jerky and difficult to understand, and ordinary people really can't learn it." ”
"You are a girl, you don't know mathematics, but why do you know so much?" I wondered.
She smiled, "I also just found out not long ago, because of Isha, I went to consult my dad, and wanted him to help me come up with ideas." He said that your fourth uncle and eighth uncle have not learned the four games of the heavens, if Miss Shen is not a master, just here to play, then no problem, but what if people are an understanding person? So you understand, he doesn't know the bottom of this matter. ”
"What do you mean, this Miss Shen may have come to kick the gym?"
"That's not true, after all, she grew up eating bread, which is different from Chinese thinking," she said, "and my fear is that she will ask questions that the fourth uncle can't answer at all." ”
"For example?" I asked.
"I can't say it," she said, looking at me, "I've been to her apartment, and there is a study in it, and the shelves are full of all kinds of metaphysical materials, and I took a cursory look, and many of them are rare books from China, ancient books and even unique books." Some of these techniques have not been mentioned in China, and they should have been lost a long time ago. In her words, she had read all those books, but there were still many unsolved mysteries in her mind. Senior brother, you ponder and ponder, can such a young lady of the Shen family be dismissed with the mouth of the rivers and lakes and a secret that is not passed on? And the Americans are more realistic, this time she didn't come alone, and brought two people, in case you want to have a discussion, do you estimate that the fourth uncle will live on it? ”
"The root of the number of operations lies in Yili", I said lightly, "She finds the answer from the operation, and it is normal to have doubts, this is nothing." As for the competition, I guess the fourth master should be fine, right? ”
"Let's put it bluntly, I don't know the bottom of my heart for the fourth uncle", she looked at me, "But if you are also there, my heart will be steady." Isha is looking for a master to talk to this time, if you can convince her, it will be a huge opportunity for your future and the future of the Lin family. Similarly, if you don't go, it's okay if the fourth uncle can withstand it, but what if he can't stand it? What my father is worried about is that the fourth uncle can't afford to plant it, and the Qiu family can't afford to plant it......"
"Tingting, don't say it", I drank all the tea in the cup, "I am a disciple of the Qiu family, it is my duty, whether it is to fight for face, or to show my eyes, I will go!" ”
