When Lin Xiao came back from outside, it was only around half past eleven in the evening.

He and Ye Qianqiu stayed outside for a few minutes, after all, the weather was cold, Lin Xiao was certainly not afraid of the cold, but Ye Qianqiu's body bones were not so strong, in case he caught a cold, it would be troublesome.

Seeing that the super battery project is about to be launched, at this time, it is really not appropriate to make additional trouble, otherwise, it will directly affect Lin Xiao's next move, and it will not be easy to do.

It's just that when Lin Xiao came back, he saw that Han Qi was actually here with Han Ya, and the two sisters seemed to be talking about something private, Lin Xiao was not too embarrassed to eavesdrop on anything, so he changed his slippers, then poured himself a glass of water, and drank two sips.

"Hey, Lin Xiao, are you back?" When Han Ya heard Lin Xiao coming back, she interrupted the conversation with Han Qi and walked out and asked him, "Did the fourth master leave you to eat?" ”

"Yes, I ate shabu mutton at his place." Lin Xiao nodded and said, "The things have been given to him, and it can be seen that he is quite satisfied with this matter, and he told me that there will be good rewards in the future." ”

"That thing does mean a lot to him, and his words that must be rewarded must also come from the bottom of his heart, and there is no need to doubt this." Han Ya smiled when she heard this.

"Well, that is, the fourth master asked me to help, otherwise, I want to stay and collect it." Lin Xiao said.

Han Qi wore a silk nightgown, and his hair was also draped down, he should have just taken a bath, and his whole body exuded a fragrant smell, at this time, listening to the two of them discussing the matter of the fourth master here, he couldn't help but squeeze over with some curiosity, and came to the middle of Lin Xiao and Han Ya, "What are you talking about, which one is the fourth master?" What else? ”

"In the capital, which one can be called the fourth master?" Han Ya asked rhetorically.

"The fourth master of the Taizu lineage?" Han Qi listened, finally reacted, and asked with some surprise.

The name of the fourth master is still very big in the capital, basically as soon as it is mentioned, some people know, but if it is out of the capital, it will not be so bright, after all, there is an old saying called "the edict of the Son of Heaven does not leave the imperial city", and the emperor's influence is like this, as for after leaving the imperial city, whether the underground officials obey it, then two words.

Therefore, although the name of the fourth master is loud, that is, relying on the power of Taizu, it is naturally impossible to spread too far.

Of course, in the minds of the high-ranking families, the banner of the fourth master is still more useful, at least if he is a middleman or something, basically everyone has to give face, otherwise, I am afraid that it will cause a group to attack him, after all, he represents the line of Taizu, which is undeniable.

Seeing Lin Xiao and Han Ya nodding in affirmation, Han Qi asked with some surprise, "How did you get together with him?" I've heard that he's notoriously big and not very easy to deal with. ”

Regarding the legend of the fourth master, there are some rumors in the capital circle, and Han Qi has naturally heard of it, so he feels a little unbelievable that Lin Xiao has started to deal with the fourth master.

Because Han Qi is also more familiar with Lin Xiao's character, he knows that it is impossible for him to look at other people's faces and act, and the fourth master is not the kind of person who can compromise and seek perfection, if the two of them get together, it is estimated that they will collide fiercely, how can they be safe and sound, and they get along very well? This is obviously unlikely.

"Actually, it's not that it's hard to deal with, after all, his background is there, so naturally it is impossible to hope that he is the same as ordinary people......" Lin Xiao smiled and said, "There are a lot of people who usually want to ask him to do things, if he greets people with a smile every day, it is estimated that the threshold of his family has already been kicked out." ”

Lin Xiao's words are more pertinent, if the fourth master sees that no one has a shelf, it is estimated that no one will recognize his face and be willing to let him act as a high-grade middleman.

However, Han Qi didn't care much about this matter, but when she heard Han Ya talk about Taizu's arm rest, she asked a few more words, but when she heard that the thing was only carved from boxwood, she wasn't very interested.

"Hey, if it's jade or something, it's not valuable, boxwood carving or something, no matter how precious it is, it can't be sold for a big price." Han Qi finally commented.

Han Qi's knowledge is not too bad, according to the general situation, a boxwood carving as big as an armrest, if it is not from the master's hand, it is just a few thousand yuan.

Now even if you add the aura of Taizu's legacy or something to this armrest, it's nothing more than adding two zeros, if you meet someone you like very much, you may be able to add three zeros, even then, at most, it will be a few million.

No matter how high the price is, it is estimated that no one will want to buy it, after all, there are still more rational people in this world, and it is impossible to spend a huge amount of money to bankrupt or something for a piece of arm rest.

Even if Taizu has no appeal, it was a thing of the past, and now his time has passed.

"Then you're wrong, boxwood is not a bargain, and this thing is also particular." Lin Xiao listened to Han Qi's words and immediately laughed.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Han Qi and Han Ya are both interested in this.

Because they know very well that if Lin Xiao says that there is something special in it, then there must be something particular, and he is definitely not fooling them casually.

"Boxwood is not large, this thing can be used in medicine, the aroma is very light, very light, elegant and not vulgar, it is the kind of taste that can be described by fragrance, and can repel mosquitoes, in addition, boxwood also has the effect of sterilization and anti-inflammatory and hemostasis, in the mountain people where boxwood grows, there is the habit of picking boxwood leaves to use as hemostatic medicine and placing boxwood branches to repel mosquitoes and flies." Lin Xiao explained, "Li Yu of the Qing Dynasty called him a gentleman, and he was known as a gentleman in the wood. In his "Idle Love", it is even recorded that 'boxwood is one inch per year, not overflowing, and shrinking by one inch in leap years, which is the destiny of heaven. In fact, this statement is also mentioned in some other books, such as Su Shi's poem, "There are countless plants and trees in the garden, and there are only boxwood leap years." In the "Essentials of Naturalism", it is mentioned that someone has done a test, saying that the boxwood in leap years is not reduced, but not long. There is also the following record of boxwood felling in the "Youyang Miscellaneous Tales", "The world's heavy boxwood is known for its lack of fire. Test it with water, sink and there is no fire. Whoever takes this wood will find a faint night without a star, and if it is cut down, it will not crack. In fact, boxwood grows slowly, a tree with a diameter of fifteen centimeters must grow for at least one hundred and fifty to two hundred years, so there are very few high-quality raw woods, and the wood of boxwood is extremely delicate, and the brown eye can not be seen by the naked eye, but still because of the slow growth of boxwood, it is difficult to have big materials, and it is mostly used to match with high-grade mahogany to inlay or process into extremely fine carving works, and there are no large works, and because of this, Boxwood carvings are often mistaken for ivory by beginners. It can be said that boxwood is extremely difficult to make large pieces of furniture, and if it appears, it must be a treasure. ”

"Gentleman of the wood......" Han Ya nodded thoughtfully when she heard this.

Obviously, she immediately thought that Taizu's teacher specially gifted this thing, probably to let him encourage himself as a gentleman, this kindness is still very heavy, as for later, he married his baby daughter to Taizu, and he was even more discerning.

It's just that Taizu's first wife didn't have a good life and didn't avoid bad luck.

In fact, some people believe that Taizu's life is too hard, so the wives who followed him did not end up with anything good in the end, and the children and grandchildren have also suffered a lot, many have died young, and many relatives in his family have sacrificed themselves, which also proves this from the side.

"Hey, it's useful to say this." After listening to it for a while, Han Qi was not interested in this, and instead mentioned another question, "Lin Xiao, I heard that you have recently built a super battery, which is very powerful, is this very rich?" ”

"You've heard about that, too?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise.

Han Qi has been developing in the entertainment industry recently, especially the newly formed entertainment company, which needs her to operate in a thousand ways, but she didn't expect that she also heard about the super battery, and she also knew that Lin Xiao was the black hand behind the scenes, which made Lin Xiao feel a little surprised.

Could it be that the news about super batteries has spread so widely that it is no longer limited to industry insiders?

"The entertainment industry is the most powerful place to spread gossip." Han Qi pouted.

Lin Xiao listened, nodded, and said in his heart that this is true, after all, celebrities have a wide range of contacts, and characters from three religions and nine streams are indispensable to contact, from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people in the market, they all need to be contacted, so naturally the news is more well-informed.

"The super battery has not yet been officially put into production, but at present, it is indeed promising." Lin Xiao replied, "Maybe after a while, it will be able to replace the traditional energy industry such as oil and become the premier product in the new energy. For example, the Ye family in South China, there are also people who came to contact me, that is, Ye Laosan and Ye Qianqiu, brothers and sisters. ”

"You promised them?" Han Qi asked with some concern.

"Well, in principle, it has been agreed, after all, their influence in the four provinces of South China is obvious to all." Lin Xiao nodded affirmatively, "Besides, my energy is limited, and it is impossible to get involved in some specific affairs, so it is the wisest choice to use the network of powerful people in various places to make a super battery." ”

"Ye Qianqiu's little girl, her head is slipping." Han Qi seemed to have had a relationship with Ye Qianqiu, and when she was mentioned, she obviously didn't look very happy.

"What's the matter, she had a holiday with you?" Han Ya asked after listening to it.
