"The fifth brother is a little rusty with the eldest brother on weekdays, but now why do you have to be idle and come to the eldest brother to spend time here?" Xiahou Yu said that it was really not very polite, at best it was just a little superficial effort.

Just pointed directly at Lin Xi's nose and told him to get out, don't come here to delay his time.

Lin Xi was not in a hurry, and with a sweep of his eyes, he took in the layout and furnishings in the entire study.

Even the few books that Xiahou Yu deliberately covered with his body, he temporarily remembered the style, and naturally came to appreciate it when he had time.

"It's nothing, can't you come to the eldest brother to bother? Although you and I are not siblings, we are also related by blood after all, among the six brothers... There are only you and me, the bloodline is the purest, this big Xiahou Mansion, if you and I are not closer, others will think that we have something to do when they see it, and take the opportunity to come out and make waves, but it is not beautiful. Lin Xi spoke in a weird manner, but he also had a bit of Xiahou Zun's usual style.

Xiahou Yu is not a good thing, there are some nerd-like bookish atmosphere, wealthy and domineering atmosphere, but it is weak.

In the entire Xia Kingdom, except for the Central Plains, the Confucian style is very heavy, and there are some ancient rite inheritances.

In the more remote areas, from the gentry to the common people, many of the people are fierce and practical. In the coastal province, there are many local gentry, who are good citizens when they go ashore, and pirates who plunder all directions when they go to sea.

Naturally, speaking and doing things is more direct, without so many twists and turns.

When Xiahou Yu heard this, he smiled awkwardly, and tucked a few books into his sleeve without a trace, and the whole person began to look natural.

Then another servant came in to serve tea and bring some melons and fruits and snacks.

"Fifth brother, don't you have no money? If that's the case, I, as the eldest brother, can borrow some from you, but... Recently, I arranged for some more people to go to Beijing to buy some unique ancient books, and the balance in my hand is not much. After chatting for a while, Xiahou Yu, who still couldn't figure out Lin Xi's purpose, inevitably opened his mouth to test again.

Although Xiahou Zun did not ask this eldest brother to borrow money in the past, he had a reputation for being generous and acting chicly, but it was loud, and Xiahou Yu had also heard of it.

It is not difficult to understand that such a lavish spending of money is not easy to have.

Although Xiahou Mingde's position is destined to be fat, and the wealth of this world is afraid that it will take up a few points, but Xiahou Mingde is not too generous to his heirs.

Except for the heir of the boss.

The rest of the children only have a monthly expense of 10,000 taels of silver.

"That's not necessary, in this coastal province, when do I need to spend more money?"

"If I had willed, I would have given me a lot of money. Lin Xi said with a smile.

Xiahou Yu rolled his eyes, but he didn't teach him a lesson with his eldest brother's shelf.

On the contrary, he said calmly: "Spending money is also a matter of knowledge, no one in Binhai Province dares to accept your silver, and when you leave Binhai Province, others will not accept your silver? Do you know how much silver is two pounds of silver? If you don't know, I'm afraid that you will not be able to eat a full meal even if you carry tens of millions of silver dollars." ”

When he said this, some scholars were stupid.

And... Use the unit of silver taels to settle with the wead cabbage... The common sense of Xiahou Yu's life is really negative.

"Alright, don't talk about these useless things. I came here to ask my eldest brother, is there any way to speed up the cultivation of our Xiahou family's miracle skills, I went to the beach to tread the waves today, and I can set off a small wave when I am finished, such a level... I just hit the water with my arms, and it was stronger. Between the words, in the eyebrows, there is impatience.

Xiahou Yu showed a look of understanding, and he also had some understanding of the purpose of his fifth brother's visit.

"Fifth brother, the cultivation of miraculous skills needs to cultivate mysteries and expand influence. You have a lot of communication outside the world on weekdays, and mystery is not enough. And most of your influence comes from your father, and there are not many people who really pay attention to you. If you want to improve the level of miracle skills, you need to start from these two aspects. ”

"Big brother, I have been thinking about writing a few overseas travel notes recently, so as to increase my influence. Similarly... In this way, the relative mystery is also maintained. Speaking of this, Xiahou Yu actually took out a few books that he had hidden before from his sleeve, and then lined them up and spread them out in front of Lin Xi.

There was a look of smugness, uneasiness and anticipation on his face.

Lin Xi looked at the books.

On the blue book cover, there is such an unpretentious title as "Xiahou Yu's Overseas Strange Travels".

"Okay, then I'll read a little brother first. Lin Xi picked up the book and entered the state of ten lines at a glance.

Thinking back then, Lin Xi also fought hard at a certain point, an old reader for more than ten years, with a vicious eye, although he basically didn't write many book reviews, but the quality of the book can be seen at a glance.

Of course, it is inevitable to have a low eye, watch other people's creations and guide the Spring and Autumn Period, get started by yourself, have more than enough heart and lack of strength, and after the first 300 words, you don't know what to do, and 2,000 words can only stop and close.

These books, although it looks like there are several.

But the font is quite large, and the writing is somewhat concise.

Together, a few books are just a few thousand words.

With Lin Xi's level, it only took ten minutes to see it clearly.

How can I say that... Xiahou Yu's book can only be said to be mediocre.

Some overseas stories that have long been circulated in Binhai Province have become such a book after a series of Zhang Guan Li Dai, or broken up and reorganized.

According to Lin Xi's point of view, Xiahou Yu is completely to cater to the market, and he is sacrificing his roots.

As the eldest son of the Xiahou family, some of his understanding of overseas is actually far beyond ordinary people.

If he had written more realistically, more objectively about the overseas Western world, perhaps it would have been more tempting.

Nowadays, in order to cater to the taste of the public, they talk about some illusory things, but they do not tell new ideas and tricks, and there is really no competitiveness.

Of course, Lin Xi can't tell the truth.

So he opened his mouth and said: "Big brother, this book is really good, if it becomes a complete volume, it will definitely be a sensation in the Xia Kingdom, and even famous in the world." The younger brother is fortunate to be the first to read today, which is really a blessing for three lives... ”

Xiahou Yu blushed and said, "The fifth brother praised it falsely... But the fifth brother... You are the eleventh... Not to the twelfth reader to read my book, really... It's really not the first to take the lead. However, if you are so optimistic about my book, you can be ranked in the top five, which can be regarded as my bosom friend. ”

When Lin Xi heard this, he was stunned.

He is so shameless to brag about it, and he can only rank fifth?

Wait, why is it the fifth again?

"Big brother, let's talk about the mystery!"

"I know how to keep influential, why do you need to be mysterious?"
