Chapter 96: Li Xin, Qi County
The man smiled faintly and turned his head back. On the side that Zhou Xian could not see, he secretly squeezed his eyes towards the child who looked like a waiter sitting next to him.
The boy was only about ten years old, with helpless face, shook his head silently, and rolled his eyes at him.
Zhou Gan gave up his seat and sat with Li Kai to the table where the man was at first, and sat with the little boy. Because the staff were scattered and Zhou Xian had something to ask him, he asked the tea shop owner to serve some snacks.
The man was not polite, and swallowed several pieces. It seemed that he hadn't eaten for several days. Zhou Xian looked surprised, but he didn't say much. But Zhou Tai couldn't help but mutter: "I said, you're so rude."
The man smiled slightly and said to Zhou Tai: "As the saying goes, white hair is as fresh as new, and it is as if it were the same. Although it was the first time I met, I felt like I was as good as I saw it at first sight. In my heart, I have long regarded you as my friends. What do friends pay so much attention to? Moreover, with your family, it is not surprising that even if you give me gold and silver, let alone this food."
Zhou Tai was stunned for a moment and asked Zhou Xian: "Uncle, what does his white hair mean?"
"This sentence comes from Zou Yang's "The Book of King Shangliang in Prison" by Zou Yang of the Western Han Dynasty. It means that some people are still unfamiliar with each other until they get along, and some people stop and talk to each other, and then they become close friends." After Zhou Xian explained, he looked at the man and said, "Brother, what do you mean by our family?"
The man slammed the high and exclaimed: "My little brother is knowledgeable and I admire you. From your dress and speech, I guess you should come from a scholarly family. From other aspects, it can be roughly conclusive that you must have a wealth of wealth in your family."
Zhou Xian smiled faintly and poured him a bowl of tea ceremony: "The first one, I don't feel too strange. But the second one, where did you judge it?"
The man smiled and pointed at Jinse, who was sitting opposite Zhou Xian, and said, "Miss, can you show me the hairpin on your head?"
Seeing Zhou Xian nodding, Jinse took off the hairpin from his head and handed it to the man.
The man looked carefully and said, "It's really good. This hairpin is called Baiyu Yizizi Hairpin, which is made of a pure white mutton fat jade. White mutton fat jade is not a rare object, but it is very rare to be so crystal clear. Especially at the tail of it is a phoenix, and there are two pure round jade drops hanging below it. Together these three places, it can basically be concluded that this thing is probably flowing out of the palace. Even if it is not in the palace, it must be the boudoir of a wealthy family. If it is sold on the market, it will be worth at least a thousand taels of silver."
Zhou Xian looked shocked and took the hairpin from the man and said, "This thing is so valuable!"
The man looked surprised and said, "Don't you know?"
Zhou Xian nodded.
"No wonder. I thought about it just now! You guys are dressed so ordinary, but she has such a precious hairpin. I thought I forgot to remove it, but I didn't expect that I didn't know the goods."
Zhou Xian reached out and handed the hairpin back to Jinse, and said with a smile: "Jinse, you are rich."
Jinse took it carefully, as if she had never been so careful. She looked left and right, rubbed it carefully, as if she was really holding a thousand taels of silver.
Zhou Xian smiled faintly and turned to the man and said, "In fact, what Brother Tai said is not right. Although my family is not as wealthy as you said, it is considered to be free from food and clothing. Zhou Xian, Wuyang, had a good time to meet Brother Tai after traveling here, was very honored."
When we met by chance, Zhou Xian didn't know anything about this person, but he liked his personality very much. He was straightforward and elegant, and did not forget his meaning when he saw money, nor did he treat Zhou Xian and his identity differently. He had a sense of dating in his heart, so he directly told his real name.
The man secretly praised himself. He was surprised to hear that the hairpin is so precious, and then he left it without mentioning it. This indifference and Kuoda were far beyond ordinary people. Hearing that Zhou Xian had reported his name and origin, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I am the surname Li Mingxin, a person from Qi County, Kaifeng Prefecture. If the little brother does not abandon him, he can visit Qi County, and he will definitely be the landlord."
Zhou Tai said with a silence: "Looking at your eating habits, you look miserable. Could it be that some strong man deliberately leads us to come and kill us for money."
Li Xin laughed and said, "This little brother is really good at joking. But people's hearts are separated from their belly, so it's not certain. Now the little brother is thinking about whether this person suddenly appears, is he thinking about how to cheat us of money!"
Zhou Tai was pointed out and his face turned red. He shouted: "Why, isn't I right to think so?"
"Yes, nothing is wrong, I'm just a little stingy."
Zhou Tai stood up and pointed at himself, saying, "What, I'm stingy. Let me tell you, Zhou Tai is generous. But you have a stingy eyebrows, a mouse-headed and deer-headed person, and it's not a good thing at first glance." Zhou Tai was fat all over, and looked at Li Xin, who looked like a tiny face, and felt inexplicably disgusted.
Li Xin grinned, revealing a row of neat teeth, and said to Zhou Tai: "This is the first time I have heard of this statement."
Zhou Xian smiled awkwardly, pulled Zhou Tai to sit down, and said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, Xiao Tai is straightforward and doesn't understand taboos. I hope Brother Li, don't be angry."
Li Xin waved his hand and said, "There is nothing in this world, only people with true nature. Brother Zhou Tai is straightforward and does not hide his own ideas. I don't know how many times better than those hypocrites in the world."
When Zhou Tai heard Li Xin’s praise, he couldn’t hide his smile and gave him a thumbs up and said, “Brother Li is still knowledgeable.”
Zhou Xian looked at Zhou Tai in a daze, but unexpectedly, Li Xin praised him as if he had changed his personality, and he was called Brother Zhou in an instant. This face-changing speed is faster than the speed of flipping books.
After hearing this, Li Xin immediately smiled and said, "Just Brother Zhou Xian called me Brother Li just now, and you also called me Brother Li at this time. And I just seemed to hear you called Brother Zhou Xian, uncle, and this generation is really messy."
After hearing this, Zhou Tai waved his hand indifferently and said, "That's the name at home. He gave it to him outside, and I gave it to me. When I saw Brother Li, he was the one who said to Qinggai... or something."
"It's as if it were?"
"Yes, it's just as if it were the same. I've made a promise to you friend."
Li Xin laughed and said, "Brother Zhou isn't worried that I will kill you for money?"
Zhou Tai said: "Then leave it to my uncle to worry. He is smarter than me anyway, so you will definitely not be able to deceive him."
