"Good condition." An old man took the magnifying glass in front of him and rubbed his eyes. Smiling and smiling at the man in the suit and leather shoes sitting opposite: "This gold-inlaid gemstone gourd bottle is genuine, from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Congratulations to Boss Zheng for his insight. ”

The man in the suit smiled casually: "If you say that, I'm relieved." To be honest, buying this kind of high-end goods in Chang'an, without your old palm, is a little weak-hearted. ”

"Didn't you lift me up? I all know that Chang'an's eyes are the brightest are Dong Lin's two directors, and when it comes to antiques, I can't compare with them. The old man smiled and stood up, and the man in the suit stood up at the same time. shook hands and said, "I don't think that Ye Lao's eyesight is below them. The mere thank-you gift is not a tribute, and I ask Ye Lao to accept it. ”

When his hands were separated, Ye Lao already had an extra card in his hand, he didn't even look at it, he put it directly on the table next to him, raised his hand and made a request: "I'll give you a ride." ”

A few minutes later, the old man returned to the room, and in front of the antique table, a young man of twenty-three or fourteen was fiddling with the card, and he didn't raise his eyelids when he heard the voice: "Where did the nouveau riche come from?" Thank you gift actually sent a card directly? After so many years, this is the first time I have seen this kind of wonder. That gold-encrusted gemstone gourd bottle isn't top-of-the-line either. Grandpa, you always give this kind of person a palm, and the price can't be raised. ”

"Shut up." Before he could finish speaking, the old man opened his eyes with a cold snort. looked at the young man sternly and said coldly: "How many years...... You still can't get rid of your above-the-top temper! ”

"I ......"

"What are you?" The old man shook his head and said in a cold voice: "You haven't learned a lesson from Ling Xiaozi's incident back then?" Who do you think you are? Others can go from being penniless to having a lot of money now, but what about you? A commissioner of the Archaeological Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, or the position I asked for you! What right do you have to look down on others? It's really the heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper! ”

The young man didn't dare to say anything more. However, there was obviously a hint of disbelief in his eyebrows, and the old man's eyes closed in disappointment and shook his head: "Do you think you are being overused?" Scold...... Although my Ye family is not as good as Chaohaitang, it is the family of the ancestors, if it weren't for your impatient temperament, how could Xu Zhenren ride a tiger if you sent a picture of Ling Xiaozi serving me tea back then? How did the Ye family get to this point? ”

"Do you think that our Ye family is golden? Others have been in the mountains and seas for 2,000 years under such extreme circumstances, and their qualifications are older than ours...... Xu Zhenren doesn't want to tear his face with others, it's us who are angry with him! In the past few years, haven't been hard enough? ”

"If it weren't for the mediation of the two directors Dong Lin, we wouldn't even have the opportunity to come to Chang'an...... Go down, study hard at the Academy of Social Sciences, sharpen your temperament, and don't dangle in front of me if you have nothing to do! ”

At this moment, there was a few gentle knocks on the door, and the housekeeper quickly walked in and said in a low voice, "Mr. Ye, Director Lin is here." ”

The old man immediately stood up: "Please! ”

The butler pursed his lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and said apprehensively: "But...... He brought Mr. Jiang to ......"

The old man didn't react for a while: "Mr. Jiang? Which Mr. Jiang? ”

Without waiting for an answer, he trembled and gasped: "Mountains and seas?!" ”

……………………………………

Jiang Xian and Lin Fangruo stood in front of a wooden door.

It is a full moon arch flanked by rolling green bricks. Inside is an elegant villa. However, the villa is not big, and the continuous creepers are spread on the wall, which gives this wall some more charm of the years.

"Will he meet us?" Jiang Xian finally spoke: "It's been ten minutes since I knocked on the door. ”

"Yes." Lin Fangruo said lightly: "He owes me a favor." If I hadn't mediated it back then, I'm afraid the Ye family would be gone now. ”

Jiang Xian didn't speak, but his brows furrowed slightly. Lin Fangruo didn't squint, but said as if he had seen everything: "Are you worried that he won't be able to solve your riddle?" ”

Without waiting for Jiang Xian to speak, Lin Fangruo continued: "If it is in the law, he really has nothing that he will not do. Don't look at him living here now, the ancestor of the Ye family has been a big man, have you ever heard of Ye Jiusheng? ”

Jiang Xian nodded, this name ...... Of course he had heard of it.

Even...... It can be regarded as the beginning of their friendship with Xu Zhenren.

Ye Jiusheng...... Qing Dynasty Kanyu Master, Feng Shui Grandmaster, Numerology Grandmaster, Nine Palace Grandmaster, Great Qing Dynasty Master ......" He smiled bitterly and said: "Back then, there were only some signs of the dispute between the Minzhou faction and the Jiangjiang faction. But at that time, Longhu Mountain was still authentic Taoism. However...... Just because Ye Jiusheng was born in the Minzhou faction, he directly attained the Tao alone, and the other faction ascended to heaven. ”

"Minzhou cultivates numerology, Jiang and Jiangxi cultivate the form, homologous and heterogeneous...... After Ye Jiusheng became the great master, he continued to fight against the Jiangjiang faction, which led to the rise of the Minzhou faction, and the two sides have formed a mortal enmity since then. If it weren't for him, Ling Xiaozi would have nothing to serve a cup of tea. ”

Lin Fangruo nodded: "Ye Xiaozu is Ye Jiusheng's descendant. In terms of the strength of the law and the knowledge, he is really not a few points weaker than Xu Zhenren, between the two of them, it's a pity......"

He sighed, looked at the closed door, and suddenly said, "You'd better prepare." ”

"Oh?" Jiang Xian blinked and wondered.

"The pit has been sealed." Lin Fangruo said in a very low voice: "The attention of the Academy of Social Sciences is higher than we imagined, I heard...... More than a hundred exploration team members have already entered the dungeon. All loaded with live ammunition. Central Military District escort. Moreover...... Lao Long, Lao Dong, Heming Shanma Zhenren, and Lao Zhu of Yili Autonomous Region all joined the exploration team. ”

"There are now more than a dozen casualties. However, I called Lao Long's house in the morning, and it was said that Lao Long had come back last night. Very tired and resting. ”

Jiang Xian took a deep breath and nodded.

In less than a month, the government's first propaganda offensive is coming. If it fits perfectly, it will give him a lot of fame!

Some words don't need to be explained. Lin Fangruo bowed slightly. Just as he was about to continue, the door opened, and Ye Xiaozu greeted him in person, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

He bowed deeply, then looked up at Jiang Xian, his smile remained unchanged, and he arched his hand: "Mr. Jiang, when we meet for the first time, we are really a hero. ”

After a brief greeting, Ye Xiaozu led the two to the house. As soon as he walked in the door, Lin Fangruo twisted his beard and smiled: "What about your grandson Ye Chengan?" I've long heard that Lao Ye's collection is all-encompassing, and I'm going to take a good look at it today. Just let him take me. ”

This is to leave room for the two to talk. It could be seen that he was very familiar with Ye Xiaozu, and went straight upstairs. Only Ye Jiang and the two were left downstairs.

For a moment, both of them were a little silent. After a full minute, Ye Xiaozu laughed, poured a full cup of tea, and handed it over with both hands: "Mr. Jiang, please use tea." ”

Apology tea.

The old man held the teacup in both hands, and his head was lowered, level with his arms. He let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "Although it was late, the things of the year ...... I'm sorry. ”

"The grandson is stubborn, and he ...... Just wanted to make a joke. He...... I don't know Ling Xiaozi's identity at all, and I don't know the terrible ...... of Tongtianfu It's because the old decay doesn't teach enough, and I ask Master Jiang to forgive me. ”

Jiang Xian was there for a while.

Did Ye Xiaozu think that he had come to Xingshi to ask for sin?

Otherwise...... How could he personally serve him tea of thanksgiving in person as a dying old man?

But...... He had no intention of doing so. Instead...... I truly realized Ye Xiaozu's hatred for Ye Chengan, and his mentality of love and hatred. In an instant, the hearts of the parents in the world were pitied, and they were stuck in place.

"Mr. Jiang." Seeing that Jiang Xian didn't answer, Ye Xiaozu gritted his teeth: "The Ye family is no longer the Ye family back then, we have already ...... from Wuyi Mountain"

"Grandpa!" Before the words fell, an angry voice came down from upstairs: "What are you doing here!" ”

Jiang Xian raised his eyes and saw that at the entrance of the building, a young man of twenty-three or four-year-old was standing there, watching this scene in disbelief.

He is not handsome, but he is very heroic, but those eyes seem to never look at people, as if everyone in the world is inferior to him. However, at this moment, these high eyes are staring at their grandfather.

"Why do you give tea to this grandchild?!"

"Even if our Ye family declines, it will be ...... face"

"Shut up!!" Before the words fell, Ye Xiaozu suddenly raised his head, and Jiang Xian realized that his face was red with shame, and his eyes were red with anger. The beard on his chin was trembling slightly.

"Face?! The Ye family's face has long been lost! ”

"If you want to be faced, we can't even go out of Wuyi Mountain!"

"If you want to have a face, you won't be in Chang'an now!"

The voice became louder and louder, Ye Xiaozu's chest was rising and falling sharply, and he said in a trembling voice: "Now you know that you want to have a face?" What did you do back then? If you make a mistake, you have to admit it! If you can't recognize it, I'll help you recognize it! You have to know the word shame, just get out of here!! ”

After speaking, he turned his head, as if he had made up his mind, raised the teacup with both hands, and put it in front of Jiang Xian: "Mr. Jiang, please use tea!" ”

The voice is resolute. Jiang Xian sighed, held the other party's hand, and put down the teacup: "I'm not here to ask for guilt. ”

In a word, Ye Xiaozu and Ye Chengan both stayed in place.

"There are some things, I want to ask Mr. Ye." Jiang Xian smiled bitterly: "You were not the only one who hated Xu Zhenren back then. ”

Ye Xiaozu's eyes moved, then he chuckled, laughed a few seconds later, shook his head and retracted his hand: "When people are old, they will worry, and if they worry too much, they will be afraid of things. ”

"Humph!" Ye Chengan snorted coldly, turned his head and disappeared on the second floor.

"Master Jiang has a lot of energy, and he admires the old man." Ye Xiaozu arched his hand and said, "I don't know what it is, let Master Jiang not hesitate to put aside his grievances and come in person?" ”

Jiang Xian pursed his lips and said word by word: "See, God, no, bad!" ”

The four words, like four nails, nailed Ye Xiaozu to the spot, and his pupils shrank slightly.

"I want to know all about it!"

Ye Xiaozu stopped smiling, his eyes were like a tiger, and he looked at Jiang Xian deeply.
