Chapter 219 Knowledge Changes Perception
"Young man, you have such a thorough analysis of the way of being an official. Are you interested in transferring to the capital? I, an old man, still have a little bit of ability. As long as you are willing, I can help you."
Li Yuanlang responded calmly: "The novel rhetoric of the five senses is just a touch of my actual work. I have shown my skills in front of you. I have not done enough. I need to immerse myself in the background and learn more, accumulate experience and my own abilities. Thank you for your love for me. I will do my job well and lead the people of Shuiming Township to live a prosperous life as soon as possible."
"Well, it's okay. I didn't feel so arrogant when I praised you, a young man, is not proud and humble, and is a talent for being a malleable person." Mr. Gu nodded with satisfaction.
Li Yuanlang's heart skipped a beat. It was the old man who threw the bait to test him. Thanks to his refusal, otherwise the good impression he left in the early stage would be wasted.
What habits does the Gu family have? They like to test people so much? First, there is Gu Zhenggang, and then there is an old man. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap they have woven. You have to be very careful and very cautious.
After chatting with Mr. Gu, Li Yuanlang said goodbye. The moment he closed the door, he felt cold all over. Okay, he was sweating all over. No chatting was obvious, it was a big test.
Hearing the sound of Li Yuanlang closing the door, Shui Tingyue in the opposite house was the first to run out and asked him about how he was talking to his grandfather.
"It's okay." Li Yuanlang replied lightly.
Afterwards, Shui Qingzhang, Gu Hongyan and Gu Zhenggang also came out, and Shui Qingzhang asked, "What topic do you have to talk about with you?"
"Five-sensory theory." Li Yuanlong replied.
"This is a new topic, the first time I heard of it." Shui Qingzhang savored the meaning of the theory of facial features.
"It's not new." Gu Zhenggang replied with a smile: "Before you came, the old man asked me and my elder brother, and we both explained it to him. He was not satisfied, so why did he think about Yuen Long again? I really like to go all the way to the dark, and it doesn't matter if I understand it."
"Who is talking bad about me behind my back again?" As the words began, a strong tall man appeared in front of everyone.
In his fifties, the hair style of Sanqi Kai was shiny and shiny. At first glance, it looked almost the same as Gu Hongyan's face, very similar.
"No, brother, we are just talking about the fact that our father mentioned the facial features to Yuen Long again." From the tone, this man should be Gu Zhengchuan, the boss of the Gu family and deputy mayor of Shencheng City.
Shui Qingzhang introduced Li Yuanlong to Gu Zhengchuan, "I have heard of you for a long time. Tonight, you are the protagonist in this family. Don't let us down if you perform well."
"Thank you for your reminder, I will be nice to Tingyue." Li Yuanlang's answer was very real, his eyes were as clear as water.
Behind Gu Zhengchuan was a man and a woman, both of whom seemed to be over 30 years old. The man looked very distinctive, with a big back, a Buddhist bead on his wrist, and a cynical walnut on his right hand.
Looking at the woman again, Li Yuanlong was shocked. It was not that the woman's beautiful appearance surprised him, but that this face seemed to be familiar with Li Yuanlong, and it seemed that he had seen it somewhere?
Shui Tingyue took the initiative to introduce that the man named Gu Chuang, who is Gu Zhengchuan's eldest son. He is currently the vice president of Shencheng Entrepreneurs Association and the chairman of Aoxiang Group.
The woman's name is Gu Liuyan, who is Gu Zhenggang's daughter and a film and television actor. Because both of them are older than Shui Tingyue, according to Shui Tingyue's name, Li Yuanlang called the two of them cousins and cousins respectively.
Gu Chuang was very cold to Li Yuanlong and shook hands symbolically with Li Yuanlong, but his hand was touched and he immediately let go. It seemed as if Li Yuanlong had some infectious disease, for fear of being infected.
Gu Liuyan? No wonder he looks familiar. It turns out that he often sees this fascinating face on TV. In Li Yuanlang's impression, Gu Liuyan's filming films are all supporting roles, either playing mistresses or fireworks women, and they are very charming and coquettish. This may be related to her natural charming and seductive growth.
Without shaking hands with Gu Liuyan, Li Yuanlang called out "cousin". Gu Liuyan frowned slightly. I don't know if he was dissatisfied with Li Yuanlang's name or if he didn't respect Li Yuanlang at all. Anyway, he was similar to Gu Chuang, so he was not interested in Li Yuanlang.
Of course, Li Yuanlang would not mind. He married Shui Tingyue, not her cousin, so he would do whatever he wanted. Their attitude was not important. As long as Mr. Gu agreed, Shui Qingzhang and Gu Hongyan did not object. The key is that Shui Tingyue was willing, and this wife could not escape his palms.
After a brief meeting, the three sisters of the Gu family and Shui Qingzhang went to the old man's room to pay New Year's greetings. Only Gu Chuang, Gu Liuyan, Shui Tingyue and Li Yuanlong were left in the living room.
Gu Chuang sat lazily on the chair, crossed his legs, took out a large cigar and was about to light it, but Gu Liuyan grabbed him and said viciously, "Grandpa doesn't let you smoke in this room, you have forgotten your dog's memory."
"This old man smoked cigarettes all his life, and he quit smoking when he was old, and he wouldn't let others smoke." Gu Chuang had no choice but to rub his fingers on his nose, and asked Li Yuanlang in turn: "I heard that you are the head of the township called. Are you quite poor there, right?"
Shui Tingyue immediately corrected: "That's called Shui Ming Township, and Yuen Long is not only the village head, but also the secretary."
"What's the difference? Isn't it just a country cadre?" Gu Chuang curled his lips disapprovingly.
"Cousin, don't you speak with thorns, okay? What's wrong with the country cadres? The country cadres are no worse than you, the chairman." Shui Tingyue suddenly became angry when she heard the dissonance in Gu Chuangchuang's words.
"Xiaoyue, my cousin is such a person. If you care about him, just want to be angry. Let's go to another room. I just brought you some cosmetics and clothes from abroad. See if you like it or not." Gu Liuyan came out at the right time to stop him, calmed the struggles inside the family, pulled Shui Tingyue and left.
"You go, I'll chat with my cousin." Shui Tingyue was worried that Li Yuanlong would be sarcastic to Gu Chuang, but Li Yuanlong was very confident and smiled at her and told her to go with peace of mind, he could handle the things here.
When the two of them left, Gu Chuang fiddled with his cell phone, but he didn't raise his eyelids and didn't even want to birdie Li Yuanlang. In his eyes, Li Yuanlang was a countryman, and he was not on the same level as him. Where did the city and countrymen get the same language? There was nothing to talk about.
Li Yuanlang looked at Gu Chuang with a smile. Seeing the cultural walnuts he placed on the table, he walked over and said hello and got his approval, and held it in his hand, and looked carefully for a long time.
When Gu Chuang saw it, he snorted coldly from his nose, looked at Li Yuanlang with his eyes squinted, and asked, "You country secretary still know how to play walnuts?"
"I don't know very well, I know a little bit." Li Yuanlang put the walnuts heavily on the table and said, "Where are walnuts in our mountains, but they are just wild walnuts, which cannot be compared with this kind of cultural walnut that has been fryed to heaven. However, I have played with them before, and I have a pair at home, but I can't play them due to my identity."
"Oh, what kind of variety is your pair of walnuts? Don't be fake, right?"
"It's not that fake. It was given to me by a friend of mine. I came here to bet on Qingpi, four buildings." Li Yuanlang said lightly.
"Four buildings? Is it a bet on Qingpi?" Gu Chuang looked at Li Yuanlang in disbelief.
It’s not a big deal about his expression. The four buildings are old-level varieties. They are solid and solemn, especially the obvious characteristics of the bottom and bottom patterns, which are radial in chrysanthemums, which are very popular.
As of now, the four buildings have the highest purchase price of gambling green skin. What is gambling green skin? It is to buy and sell walnuts with outer skin. When the speculation was so popular, gambling green skin opened a four-story building, and it was really possible to build a building in my hometown in the countryside.
"You are a lion's head. Look, you turn the walnuts upside down, which look like the mane of the stone lion at the yamen in ancient times. It has a thick appearance, a straight pile, a short and thick edge, a small and blunt edge, a deep and stretchy pattern, a huge, thick and flat bottom, and the leather is easy to red. The color of the plate is very beautiful." Li Yuanlong took out one of the walnuts, looked at the sunlight outside the window in his hand, and kept shaking his head and smacking his lips.
"What?" Gu Chuang finally raised his butt and looked at Li Yuanlang in a daze.
He just likes to play with walnuts in Wenwan, and is a beginner, especially he has a special liking for Wenwan, and is particularly concerned about it.
"Your walnut plate is good, and you have used your heart to the plate and brush. But there is one thing you didn't pay attention to, the walnut itself is high in density, and you did not use olive oil and dye paste, but if you use walnut oil, the oil-containing things will cause certain damage to the walnut itself. A large amount of pigment and oil precipitation will cause the walnut skin or color to become gray, dark, and black lines, which will have all kinds of harms and no benefits. So after finishing the walnut, remember to use paste dyes and oil products, this is the basic knowledge."
"Is it true?" Gu Chuang held it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly. Not to mention that the texture of one of the walnuts really had the black line that Li Yuanlang said, and in comparison, it was not as bright as before.
"Brother, I did put on walnut oil a while ago. Now there are black lines and dark phenomena. What should I do? Is there any way to repair it?" Sitting on the chair next to Li Yuanlong, Gu Chuang looked at him carefully and his name for agent Yuen Long has also changed quietly, and he has transitioned from "countryman" to "brother".
"Black lines are easy to deal with. I think you can use a brush to brush your black lines a few more times. As for darkening, you need to take more disks. After a long time, these things will naturally disappear."
Li Yuanlang patiently explained to Gu Chuang: "Disced walnuts is a process of accumulation of time and effort. As time goes by, walnuts are rubbed for a long time, and when you use a hand plate and a brush to brush, the surface finish is getting higher and higher, the color changes from light to dark, and the overall color becomes crystal clear, and the jadeization is very obvious, with great ornamental and collection value, so it is very important to play walnuts in the cultural and play walnuts."
