Chapter 373: Unparalleled National Scholars
If the city of Donghai gives people the feeling of being petty bourgeoisie, the city of Chang'an gives people the feeling of being heavy, then the city of Xishu gives people the feeling of being lazy.
This is a leisure city with a developed economy but a slow pace of life. It is not as fiercely competitive as other big cities. Everyone seems to be very content and more willing to enjoy life comfortably.
No wonder so many people don’t want to leave after coming.
How lucky are the people living in this city.
However, the city's development speed is not slow, and its economic aggregate is firmly ranked among the top five in the federation. Therefore, there are many wealthy people here, and there are many luxury houses and wealthy areas.
Lushanlu Lake at the southernmost end of Tianfu Avenue in Xishu is a new wealthy area in Xishu. Almost all of them are high-end villa communities. For example, the villa where Lin Xi's grandfather and grandmother lived is worth hundreds of millions.
All villas in the community are located on small islands in the lake. Each villa has a private dock, and you can also drive a yacht home.
Lin Xi's grandma and grandpa moved here a few years ago. Her grandpa no longer interfered with trivial matters, and her grandma concentrated on studying knowledge. It was precisely because she did not want to be disturbed that she moved here.
Although today is grandma's birthday, grandma didn't want to hold a high-profile banquet. She only called her closest children and grandchildren to come back and have a fun time.
The villa was already crowded with people early in the morning. Lin Xi's two uncles and aunts and their children were all back. Lin Xi was the youngest on her grandparents' side, and also the most favored.
It seems that the youngest children are like this.
The design of this villa is very modern, with an irregular geometric shape and a large number of floor-to-ceiling windows, striving to blend in with the surrounding natural environment to the greatest extent.
This shows that Grandma and Grandpa Lin Xi are not the kind of conservative and old-fashioned people, and are very willing to take the initiative to explore new things.
Lin Xi's grandfather and grandmother are just the opposite. They prefer to live in the Lin family's old house at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, as if this can highlight their unique identities.
When Lin Xi accompanied her parents to the villa, everyone else stood up and greeted them warmly. Who knows that the Lin family is a wealthy and prestigious family in the southwest? Which of these relatives does not rely on the Lin family?
Lin Xi's father's name is Lin Wang. He is 1.8 meters tall and looks very handsome and calm. However, he doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic when facing Lin Xi's uncle and aunt, greeting him calmly.
He is the most capable successor of the Lin family, and Mr. Lin also values him the most. He is now responsible for most of the Lin family's business, so everyone, whether it is the Lin family or Lin Xi's uncle and aunt, has to take the initiative to curry favor with him.
Lin Xi's mother's name is Ning Qing. Although she is over forty, she still retains her charm. She looks quite intellectual in her professional attire. She is currently the head of the largest law firm in the southwest. This is not only because of Lin Xi's grandmother's relationship.
, and more importantly, the Lin family’s help behind the scenes.
Lin Xi's personality followed that of her mother, and Ning Qing was obviously colder, so she asked casually: "Where are the old man and the old lady?"
"The old man went out to play chess, and the old lady was on the phone upstairs. You know she answers endless calls every year on this day." Lin Xi's uncle Ning Jianyi replied with a playful smile. He was the Ning family's mess.
As a representative of Lin Xi, Lin Xi’s parents did a lot of wiping his butt.
Ning Qing said calmly: "You guys talk first, I'll go upstairs to see the old lady."
The two aunts and uncles in the kitchen were looking at the birthday banquet at noon. Although it was only a simple table with three people, they still invited the chef from Jinjiang Hotel to come and cook. Who made the old man and the old lady have a soft spot for Jinjiang Hotel?
Woolen cloth?
Ning Jianyi pulled Lin Wang out of the corridor furtively: "Brother-in-law, please come out. I have something small to tell you."
Lin Wang had a bit of a headache. This brother-in-law was not very economical. He either owed gambling debts or slept with someone's wife. I really don't know how the old man and the old lady raised such a son?
Lin Xi looked at his uncle Ning Jianhe on the sofa and said, "Uncle, didn't you go abroad? Are you back so soon?"
"It's your grandma's birthday. It's rare for the family to be so busy. Can't I come back in time?" Ning Jianhe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, laughed. He is the only big boss of the Ning family in the system. He is now a department of Shuzhou Prefecture.
As for the number one position, it depends on whether he can be promoted to another level before retirement.
At this time, Ning Jian and a sickly pale middle-aged man wearing glasses asked next to him: "Lin Xi, how is it at Chang'an University? Are you in love?"
"Uncle, you are making fun of me again. I promised my parents not to fall in love in college." Lin Xi said obediently.
This middle-aged man is her uncle Huang Maoxue, a Phoenix man with no background, but outstanding ability. If the uncle was not in the system and the uncle was ignorant and incompetent, he would not be the person in charge of the Ning family company.
people.
Huang Maoxue shook his head and sighed bitterly: "Oh, your parents are too rigid. If you don't fall in love in college, when will you fall in love?"
Ning Jianhe glanced at Huang Maoxue and reminded him kindly: "Maoxue, don't say this in front of Lin Wang and Ning Qing. The Lin family has too many rules."
"Aren't I just complaining?" Huang Maoxue chuckled.
Ning Jianhe waved his hand and said, "Your cousins are downstairs. You go and play with them."
Lin Xi chuckled and said, "I'll go see grandma first."
After saying that, he carried the box and went upstairs. Ning Jianhe did not forget to mutter: "Lin Xi, this kid is still thoughtful. He prepares gifts for the old lady every year, unlike us children who only know how to trouble the old lady."
Lin Xi had just gone upstairs, and Ning Qing happened to come out of the study. Lin Xi asked casually: "Grandma is in the study?"
"Well, I just finished a phone call with his proud disciple." Ning Qing said in a deep voice, then walked downstairs on high heels.
Lin Xi slowly walked into the study room carrying the gift and deliberately threatened: "Grandma."
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, an old lady with silver hair wearing a cheongsam but still outstanding temperament was bathing in the sunshine. She covered her chest and said: "Oh, you damn girl, you almost gave me a heart attack."
Lin Xi put down the gift and ran over to hug the old lady and said, "Grandma, you are so beautiful today."
"My sweetheart can talk, and grandma even said that she would go down and find you." Although the old lady was thin and wrinkled, she was still so delicate, patting her granddaughter on the shoulder and doting on her.
Lin Xi said coquettishly: "Grandma, I miss you so much."
"Grandma, aren't you here, you little girl?" the old lady tickled her granddaughter's nose and said with a kind smile.
Lin Xi's smile became brighter and brighter, and then she helped her grandma sit on the sofa.
The old lady frowned when she saw the box on the table and said, "You girl, grandma said you don't need to prepare gifts, so why are you preparing gifts again?"
Lin Xi pouted and stared at the old lady and said, "Grandma, this is not the gift I prepared for you. Guess who gave you the gift?"
"Who gave you the gift? You still have to let me guess?" the old lady said with doubt on her face.
Lin Xi said coquettishly: "Grandma, guess it quickly, you will never guess it."
The old lady stared at her granddaughter again and again. From the smile on her face and the smug look in her eyes, she quickly guessed the answer. Who made her know this granddaughter better than anyone else?
"Are you in love?" the old lady asked in a low voice.
Lin Xi said with a face full of shock: "Grandma, why did you guess it right at once?"
This made Lin Xi, who originally wanted to give up her reputation, instantly lose her sense of accomplishment. Her grandma didn't expect it to be so powerful, but she forgot that her grandma was Taishan Beidou in the legal world, and her brain was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
"You, you, what are you thinking in your little head, your grandma will know it right away." The old lady said disapprovingly.
Lin Xi muttered: "Grandma, you are so boring."
"Tell me, grandma, what does that boy look like? Is he handsome?" the old lady asked with great concern, just as Lin Xi told Su Qin.
When he said this, he did not forget to glance outside the study and said: "Your parents must not know, right?"
Lin Xi said truthfully: "How dare I tell them? Grandma, you must keep it a secret. I will only tell you secretly."
"Don't you know who grandma is?" the old lady said in a deep voice.
Lin Xi was not in a hurry to introduce Su Qin, but took the box and said: "Grandma, let's talk about him later. Let's take a look at the gift he prepared for you first. He said he wrote a message for you personally, and I don't know how he wrote it.
Well, don’t dislike it if it doesn’t look good.”
The old lady sighed with emotion: "This child is very considerate if he can take the initiative to prepare a gift for me. Is grandma the kind of person who doesn't know what is good and what is good?"
Lin Xi chuckled and nodded: "Grandma, you are the best."
After saying that, she opened the box uneasily and slowly took out the calligraphy "Bitch" from it. Although Su Qin was full of confidence on the phone, Lin Xi really had no confidence in Su Qin's calligraphy.
At this time, Lin Xi slowly spread the scroll on the ground.
When the calligraphy was completely opened, four big characters were written on the fine rice paper: Unparalleled National Scholars.
In an instant, the majestic breath of these four big characters rushed towards my face. The fonts were vigorous and powerful, and they were not words that ordinary people could write. Even some so-called masters who were just trying to gain fame would be ashamed of themselves.
