"Grandpa, Zhou Xiaobing has come to complain, right?" Zeng Xiaorou looked at the photo on the tea machine, pursed her lips disdainfully, and said, "Am I such a casual person?" A big man, who only knows how to drill camps every day, meets the horses, is narrow-minded, reverses black and white, and is virtuous! ”

"From ancient times to the present, what man doesn't want to make meritorious contributions, set the country and secure the country, and have lofty aspirations? Dealing with the world and communicating with people is a science, how can it be called drilling camp and meeting horses? To do anything, you must have supporters and followers, and have a mass base, so that you can succeed. Zeng Lao glanced at Zeng Xiaorou and slowed down his tone, "You and Xiaobing will be engaged in three months, it is a matter of two major events, you can't be childish anymore and deliberately do it against him." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhao Mingding and said, "This is the kid you called to your hometown to see your grandmother on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and it was the rescuer you moved in, right?" ”

"He saved me, and I invited him to my house for a meal to show my gratitude, which is the minimum etiquette, and it is not excessive." Zeng Xiaorou said aggrievedly, "Moreover, I didn't agree to marry anyone." ”

Zhao Mingding saw that the two of them talked about the private affairs of the family, and it seemed that he also involved himself, and felt embarrassed, so he stood up and was about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Zeng Lao raising his hand: "Your business is not over yet, sit down for me." Zhao Mingding then sat down again, didn't know what to say for a while, took the tea brought by Uncle Qing, smiled, and thanked him softly.

"Xiaobing went to his hometown to meet your grandmother on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and you called this kid over for some reason, didn't you add to people's blockage? It's just a high-sounding excuse. Seeing that Zeng Xiaorou was silent, Zeng Lao picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued, "Your marriage is a major matter, your father and I have discussed it, and I agree with your father's opinion and marry the Zhou family." Don't say I'm arbitrary, just take it as a face to you and this kid today, and remove the obstacles. You also know that our Zeng family was born poor, and we are not the people who love the rich and hate the poor. I called this kid here today just to ask him face to face: marry a man and marry a man, dress and eat. What protection can he give you? ”

"Grandpa, did I say I was going to marry him?" Zeng Xiaorou retorted aggrievedly.

"You didn't say it, but that doesn't mean you don't want to. Otherwise, you wouldn't have used him as a shield. Zeng Lao was unmoved, turned his head and said to Zhao Mingding, "Briefly introduce yourself." ”

"Zhao Mingding, 26 years old this year, a member of the list group in Caoping Village, Yanxi Town, Taihe County, Jiangxi Province, a farmer, his parents have not seen him since he was a child, he lives with his grandparents, and has just resigned from the Shengdebao Electronics Factory in Tanzhou Town, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province for less than a month, and is now an unemployed vagrant." Zhao Mingding replied.

"Do you love Xiaorou and are you willing to treat her as your life and go to the soup for her?" Zeng Lao asked.

"Down there are unemployed vagrants, destitute, helpless, and dare not climb!" Zhao Mingding smiled helplessly, then straightened his chest, and said with a straight face, "If you don't give up, I will live and die." If you forsake me, I will kill myself by throwing myself into the lake. If you are in danger, I will die against you. If thou wilt sail west, I will be faithful. After thinking about it, he added, "There is no problem with eating and dressing." ”

Zeng Lao looked at Zhao Mingding with a puzzled expression, and even Zeng Xiaorou and Uncle Qing, who were standing quietly on the side, looked puzzled.

"I forgot, I just got a new job this morning." Zhao Mingding smiled a little embarrassed, took out the Falcon Commando card that Liu Qingqi had just issued early in the morning and put it on the coffee table in front of him, Uncle Qing picked it up and opened it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It is indeed the certificate that was just issued today." ”

"Grandpa, in order to show my sincerity, I want to give Xiaorou a meeting gift, I hope you can agree." Zhao Mingding said to Zeng Lao with a sincere face.

"Oh, what did you just say about the unemployed vagrant, poor, helpless, and afraid to climb high, and it hasn't been more than three minutes before I became a falcon commando, and I started to call grandpa and give a meeting gift, this change of face has become too fast, right?" Zeng Lao looked at Zhao Mingding calmly and said, "As long as Xiaorou is willing to accept it, I don't object." Zhao Mingding looked at Zeng Xiaorou, and saw that she was silent, a pair of beautiful eyes just looked at him sadly, so he smiled slightly, pressed the service bell, and after a while, a waiter entered the room, Zhao Mingding took out the pure gold business card box given by He Chaoyan from his pocket, took out the pure gold business card numbered nine and handed it to the waiter, and said with a smile: "I want 100,000 US dollars in cash now." The waiter took the business card and said wait, turned around and walked out of the room, and returned with a suitcase in less than ten minutes, followed by the general manager of the hotel. The general manager respectfully returned the pure gold business card to Zhao Mingding, and opened the suitcase, which was neatly stacked with 100,000 US dollars.

"Receiving the grace of dripping water, you should be reciprocated by a spring." After the hotel general manager and waiter left the room, Zhao Mingding put the 100,000 US dollars in front of Zeng Xiaorou and said, "This 100,000 US dollars is to repay the 100,000 yuan you spent on inviting my friend to drink 82-year-old Lafite at the Guangzhou Dongfang Hotel." Then, without waiting for Zeng Xiaorou to speak, he turned to Zeng Lao and smiled, "Grandpa, if I conjure a thousand taels of gold out of my bare hands now, can you be the master and marry Xiaorou to me?" ”

"So, I'm blind?" Zeng Lao smiled slightly and said, "You turned into gold empty-handed, do you want to tell me that it is not enough for us to have a Master Wang in Jiangxi, but also a Master Zhao?" ”

"Grandpa, unlike Master Wang, the gold I conjured up is real gold that can be used for real purposes, not fake." Zhao Mingding said with a smile, "As a young lady, I should naturally use a thousand taels of gold as a dowry." ”

Don't say that Zeng Lao doesn't believe it, even Zeng Xiaorou and Uncle Qing don't believe that Zhao Mingding can really conjure a thousand taels of gold empty-handed.

"Okay, if you can sit still and conjure up a thousand taels of real gold with your bare hands, I will be in charge and give you Xiao Rouji, provided that she likes you and agrees." Zeng Lao said with a smile. When Zhao Mingding heard this, he turned his head to look at Zeng Xiaorou, and saw that she blushed and nodded slightly, so he rubbed his palms together on his chest, and after a while, a gold brick of Huang Chengden appeared in the palm, about 10 cm long, about 5 cm wide, and about 3 cm high, and there were five words engraved in the middle of the gold brick: 50 taels of pure gold; Five small characters are engraved in the lower left corner: Xiangxing First Year System. It was Zhao Mingding who took those gold bricks from the underground imperial tomb and put them in the Qiankun bag.

Zhao Mingding concocted the same method, rubbed out twenty gold bricks, stacked a hexagonal pagoda on the coffee table, and finally, rubbed out a silver bracelet with two pea-sized emerald gems on the antique dragon head with fine workmanship, and four seal characters were engraved on the inside of the bracelet: both Shou Yongchang.

Zhao Mingding stepped forward, picked up Zeng Xiaorou's right hand, put the silver bracelet on, and said with a smile: "This is my family's ancestral thing, I hope you can like it." Zeng Xiaorou smiled, looked down at the bracelet on her wrist, and was full of joy.

Uncle Qing picked up a gold brick, examined it carefully, and handed it to Zeng Laodao: "It looks like real gold, and the things at the end of the Song Dynasty can be regarded as cultural relics." ”

"The last emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was called Zhao Yu, reigned for 2 years, died at the age of 8, his year name was 'Xiangxing', the first year of Xiangxing, that is, the year he reigned, it is indeed some years, it can be regarded as a cultural relic." Zeng Lao took the gold brick handed to him by Uncle Qing, examined it in detail for a while, looked up at Zhao Mingding, and asked, "Where did you get these gold bricks?" ”

"These are my family's ancestral heirlooms." Zhao Mingding said indifferently.

"Would you mind having a full body exam done on you?" Zeng Lao asked.

"Don't mind." Zhao Mingding replied.

Uncle Qing motioned Zeng Xiaorou to go to the room to avoid it slightly, and after Zeng Xiaorou entered the room and closed the door, he signaled Zhao Mingding to take off his clothes all over his body, and he didn't leave his pants, and carefully checked his clothes and pants, every pocket was turned out, and the pants were also turned over, and there was nothing, which meant that Zhao Mingding put on his clothes and pants. Uncle Qing even carefully inspected the sofa and coffee table in the room, and even checked the bottom of the sofa and coffee table inside and out, but he didn't find anything, so he called Zeng Xiaorou out.

"Where did you get these things from, and where do you send them back now?" Zeng Lao pointed to the twenty gold bricks on the coffee table and said with a smile. Zhao Mingding smiled slightly, picked up a gold brick, rubbed his hands three times and rubbed them twice, the gold brick disappeared, and after repeated operations, twenty gold bricks disappeared without a trace. Uncle Qing did another full body examination of Zhao Mingding, but he still found nothing, and those gold bricks seemed to have evaporated from the world.

"Okay, you can conjure those gold bricks for me now. I'm going to have twenty-one now, and I'll add one more. Zeng Lao said with a smile.

Zhao Mingding didn't answer, smiled slightly, and after a while, the twenty gold bricks returned to the coffee table, stacked into a hexagonal pagoda, and the extra gold brick was put aside.

"It seems that you do have some Taoism." Zeng Lao smiled, "Okay, I promise you that I will marry Xiaorou to you." I don't want you to pay a dowry of a thousand taels of gold, just leave a gold brick as a souvenir, and you can take the rest back. Zhao Mingding saw that Zeng Lao promised to marry Zeng Xiaorou to himself, so he quickly knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and said with a smile, "Grandpa's words, Xiaoding should obey, I want to send a gold brick to Uncle Qing and ask him to be a matchmaker, I don't know if it's okay?" Zeng Lao smiled and nodded, Zhao Mingding then held a gold brick with both hands and dedicated it to Zeng Lao, Zeng Lao took it, and dedicated another gold brick to Uncle Qing, Uncle Qing did not shirk, took it with a smile, and said: "Heaven is a good match, congratulations!" ”

Zhao Mingding offered another gold brick to Zeng Xiaorou, as a matter of affection, Zeng Xiaorou took it, gently stroked the gold brick, and smiled.
