Chapter 277: It's better to be sour
"By the way, Master Hou, do you have pen and ink here?" Lin Yanchen turned his head and suddenly asked.
"Little friend, this is going to ...... Lao Li, you go and take out the set of study calligraphy treasures that I treasure and give them to Lin Gongzi. Master Hou originally habitually asked Lin Yanchen what he wanted his pen and ink for, but he immediately went to order his subordinates to take a set.
At this time, he knew not to ask the other party what to do, just complete the other party's requirements, after all, now Lin Yanchen is also his lifeline, except for the other party, I am afraid that no one is willing to take over this ghost mansion, even if there is, it is not possible to find it in a short time.
"Okay, sir."
The old servant, who had been waiting outside the door, answered and walked away.
Lin Yanchen was a little speechless in his heart, this old man is really, you are so good in the study, you haven't even put pen and ink, pretending that you have to at least pretend to be the fragrance of the book.
"I don't know what Lin Gongzi wants this ink for?"
At this time, Master Hou asked curiously.
Although it is the same question as why, the order is different, and the attitude shown is different.
If you ask the other party what to do before arranging, it will appear small and imposing, and the impression will be uncomfortable.
On the contrary, if you don't care about anything else, try your best to arrange according to the other party's requirements, and then ask curiously, this will make the other party feel respected and trusted.
Lin Yanchen naturally saw this, but he didn't debunk it, if someone gave him a smile, he would naturally not give someone a slap.
"Hehehe, I just heard that Master Hou likes poetry, so I thought about combining the song "Breaking the Array" with ...... Liu Yuanshan Shangshu's "Bamboo and Stone" was written and gifted to Master Hou, and Liu Shangshu and Liu Shangshu are also half-brothers, so it is not without reason to copy and copy Liu Shangshu, and I hope that Master Hou will not dislike it. ”
Lin Yanchen said this lightly, but the old man Hou in the study and the housekeeper Wang who came with him were not calm.
One by one, their eyes widened and their mouths widened, full of incredible surprises and bewildered expressions.
Even Master Hou's originally calm back trembled involuntarily, and his hands that rarely had calluses directly became chaff.
Not to mention that he was excited that Lin Yanchen wanted to personally write down the eternal quatrain "Breaking the Array" and give it to Master Hou, Lin Yanchen's later sentence was true and they couldn't believe it.
Liu Yuanshan, a dignified poet and one of the six Shangshu, turned out to be Lin Yanchen's half-brother?!
Wait, half-brothers, how can they be brothers?
was surprised, Steward Wang and Master Hou suddenly thought of this, and their brows furrowed.
They glanced at Lin Yanchen as if they were confirmed, but when they saw that the other party's face was as usual, it didn't look like they were talking nonsense or saying the wrong thing, but it made them feel unconfident.
"Uh...... The little dare to ask, how can the half-brother mentioned by Lord Lin be a brother? ”
Master Hou was still wondering if his ears were not good and he heard it wrong, but Steward Wang was already full of doubts and asked, as if he was extremely sure that he would not hear it wrong.
And Lin Yanchen didn't want to answer this question at first.
To tell the truth, in his previous life, as a senior stalk player across the Internet, he is now very speechless and helpless for these primitive people who can't even understand the "stalk".
This thing can't communicate!
It's like killing Matt thirty years ago and falling in love with the swingman thirty years later, the love between him and her is like chemistry knowing the eight strands, and the eight poles can't hit together.
But after thinking about it, Lin Yanchen still opened his mouth with a smile and explained a little bit to these two primitives.
After all, the work of popular science is one of the great and sacred obligations of every traverser.
"Uh...... Don't you two understand? What the official said is actually what it means on the surface, the official and Liu Shangshu are neither the same father nor the same mother, this is the half-brother, and Liu Shangshu previously said that he and I are brothers, so the combination of the two is like this, and to put it simply, although I and Liu Shangshu are not brothers, the relationship is better than brothers. ”
Lin Yanchen's answer was very simple, so that the uneducated Hou master understood, and showed a look of "I see!" Expression.
Steward Wang also nodded suddenly.
Immediately, he was shocked by the information revealed in Lin Yanchen's words, and the relationship between the other party and Liu Yuanshan had reached this point!
Since Steward Wang himself was the housekeeper of Wei Shangshu's mansion, he felt that Lin Yanchen would definitely not say some big things in front of him, otherwise he would not lose face if he relayed it to Wei Shangshu when the time came?
Therefore, he would not doubt the authenticity of Lin Yanchen's words.
However, he turned that corner in his mind, and he could be regarded as trying to understand a little, Lin Yanchen was definitely not a simple character who could make poems for the ages at such an age, and through his previous conversations and behaviors, he could see that Lin Yanchen had an old-fashioned and steady spirit that his peers did not have, and that feeling was as if he was facing a scheming character like Wei Shangshu.
Moreover, he had also seen Wei Shangshu's attitude towards Lin Yanchen who was closer than his own son, so thinking about it, it was normal for Lin Yanchen and Liu Yuanshan to have a cordial relationship.
"Steward Wang, can I bother you to go to a stall selling sour plum soup near the palace gate to find a group of Confucian students, and then bring them to Benguan's place."
At this time, Lin Yanchen suddenly remembered that the house was almost his, and he didn't need to bring any baggage and luggage to live in it, so of course he was going to call those cheap students now.
Steward Wang nodded in response, and was about to turn around and leave, but when he didn't take two steps, he was caught by Lin Yanchen.
Steward Wang's eyes flashed deep in an instant, but almost no one noticed that he had returned to his loyal and honest appearance.
"I don't know what else Lord Lin commands?"
He was smiling, but he was muttering silently in his heart: "Why did this kid come to test me again?" Alas...... It's hard to fool young people these days. ”
Lin Yanchen also smiled back, and felt a little embarrassed.
"It's not a big deal, but I just ask Steward Wang to go to the street to buy twenty oranges before going, preferably a little sour, and take them to those Confucian students, just say that the treasures that the official personally bought for them to run all over the capital, one is worth two taels of silver, let them cherish it."
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Steward Wang and Master Hou invariably sighed in question, they really couldn't guess what the purpose of Lin Yanchen's series of confusing behaviors was.
"Lord Lin, why are you doing this? The green orange is not only counted, but also bitter and astringent, and it is generally used for medicinal purposes, and it is impossible to eat it directly! Especially those Confucian students are all noble people, so I am afraid that it is not appropriate to be deceived and harmed in this way. ”
