Battle of the Red Mansions

On the bustling street, young men in fresh clothes and angry horses passed by, attracting the eyes of many little girls.

Turning all the way to a remote shop, Lin Xuan got off her horse, handed the reins to the young man who came up to meet her, and went straight in without anyone leading the way and A-Gump. It just seemed like this was not the first time she had come here.

"Ah Xuan, here."

Hearing someone coming in, the young man sitting inside looked back and waved his hand to let people hurry over.

The location of the shop is relatively remote. Without the guidance of a friend, Lin Xuan would not be able to find it here. In fact, if it was just him, Lin Xuan would not be interested in this jade shop.

Let A-Gump find something to do by himself, and then walked towards the boy in the moon-white gown. Although this shop is not well-known, the owner here is Lan Renbo, a world-renowned jade carving master.

According to legend, many of the jade wares that were tributed to the palace came from this man, but when he got older, he wanted to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers for his retirement, so he settled in Gusu.

Lan Renbo is well-known, and has accumulated a lot of wealth over the past few decades. He does not rely on this shop for a living, and now he is here just to pass the time.

"Ah Xuan, your elder brother is going to get married in a few days, just a few days ago Mr. Lan got a good piece of jade, we discussed to keep it for you, how about it?"

The half-year-old boy sat there with his head slightly raised. Even though he still looked calm, Lin Xuan could see in his eyes the meaning of "Seeing that I think about you so much, praise me quickly", of course, it's just He thought of it himself.

With bright eyes, she sat cross-legged next to the young man, Lin Xuan patted his shoulder with a fist, "It's brother, it's interesting."

Originally, he didn't know what to give, so he came here. Now that the little friend has left him something good, Lin Xuan naturally won't be ungrateful, "The old man agrees?"

"Naturally." Rubbing his shoulders and giving Lin Xuan a blank look, Lu Yan told the little friend who didn't know how to make a move to sit down, and then said the next thing, "If it's for you, Mr. Lan won't ruin him. jade, but giving it to my elder brother is different.”

"I knew it was like this." Spreading her hands, Lin Xuan said that she knew what would happen without even thinking about it.

Everyone knows Mr. Lan's temper. Although he usually has a kind appearance, but on top of jade, if you dare to touch his lifeblood, the old man will directly transform into a violent old man in minutes.

Lu Yan and Lin Xuan are family friends. The two are about the same age. It can be said that they grew up together. The Lu family and the Lin family are different. The Lu family has prosperous children, and only Lu Yan's older brothers and sisters can't count them on one hand.

As an old man, Lu Yan was used to growing up by the whole family. It was rare that he did not grow up to be a playboy, but became a positive teaching material for the children educated by the entire Gusu family.

The old man of the Lu family liked jade, and Lu Yan had studied it quite a bit since he was a child. The old man of the Lu family contributed a lot to Lan Renbo's choice of Gusu as his place of residence.

If it wasn't for Lu Yan, Lin Xuan wouldn't be able to enter this shop. After all, Mr. Lan has always disliked his hands and feet, and he was afraid that he would drop all kinds of rare jade seeds stored here.

Take the initiative to leave something for him?

Don't be kidding, just the way the old man blows his beard and stares every time he sees him, does he seem like someone who will leave something for him?

Sure enough, his brother still has a lot of face.

He was quite complacent about his elder brother's love, so the young master of the Lin family rubbed his chin and looked at his little friend with burning eyes, "Where is the old man, can I take a look first?"

To give his brother a gift, he must palm his eyes first, what if the old man loses his eyes?

Although he can't see anything...

"Wait a little longer, Mr. Lan will come out in a while." Asking Lin Xuan to do it honestly, Lu Yan filled the teacup in front of him, and then asked carefully, "I heard from my father that after Brother Ruhai gets married , you are leaving Gusu?"

"What? You all know?" Lifting his face from the teacup, the young master of the Lin family wiped the corner of his mouth and said awkwardly, "I really want to leave, but fortunately, Yangzhou is not far from Gusu..."

"Really?" Liangliang glanced at Lin Xuan, Lu Yan took a sip of tea, and then said quietly, "It's not far, it's only a day to go back and forth."

"That's right, and my speed is very fast, if you want to come back, I will appear in front of you in a 'shua'." Smiling, I didn't realize that the teacup in the hand of the friend next to me was about to be crushed , Lin Xuan said while gesticulating, almost making people think that he is really capable of traveling thousands of miles.

Looking at the heartless little friend, the young master of the Lu family smiled, "It seems that Ah Xuan thinks that your elder brother will let you go out alone, or is it such a far away door?"

Hearing Lu Yan's instant soft voice, Lin Xuan trembled, resisting the urge to go through the window and run out, God, it started again.

"When I got the news, I wanted to tell you." Putting the teacup to the side and lying on the table, Lin Xuan looked at Lu Yan like a rogue, "Isn't it because I've been so busy recently that I forgot?"

It may be an excuse for others to say this, but if it comes from this guy, it is really forgotten.

Out of sight, out of mind, Lu Yan shook his head, turned around and went to see Mr. Lan to see how the jade was cleaned up.

No one can change the official position. There is no one else in the Lin family here. Even if it is dangerous to follow, Lin Ruhai will not leave Lin Xuan here alone.

Lu Yan said that because this kid hasn't said a word for so many days, and he pretended to be a normal person when we met this time... Well, he seems to be a normal person... ..

The childhood friendship was there, and Lu Yan also knew what kind of person Lin Xuan was. Instead of being mad at him here, he should go to other places to have a look.

Fortunately, the blue old man who hadn't appeared all this time came out from the inner room after Lu Yan got up, carefully holding a piece of excellent-looking jade on a flannel cloth, and the joy in the blue old man's eyes could not be concealed.

"Such a fine jade should match a gentleman as humble as the sea." Satisfied, Old Man Lan stroked his beard twice, seeing Lin Xuan who was sitting there, snorted, and then walked over reluctantly.

"Hello, sir." Immediately stood up and saluted with fists, Lin Xuan stood next to Lu Yan, rarely shouting honestly.

"Stinky boy, you are lucky." Putting the jade on the table next to the window, the sunlight shone through, and the eyes were crystal clear. Old man Lan sat down slowly, then raised his eyes to look at Lin Xuan, "This is for you, boy. There is no request, I will talk about it together today, if it is completely handled by the old man, would you be willing to send it out?"

Rubbing her chin and looking at the flat jade, Lin Xuan had a flash of inspiration, ran to the side, took a pen and paper and began to draw.

Old Man Lan and Lu Yan looked at each other, with helplessness in their eyes, this kid has never been interested in calligraphy and painting, what can he come up with in a hurry?

I'm afraid I can only look at it after I draw it. Such a rare piece of jade can't be allowed to be so casual by this kid.

Originally, I just wanted Lin Xuan to tell me what the jade carving would look like, but I didn't expect this kid to start drawing directly. The old man Lan pulled out two more beards, and his brows frowned involuntarily.

Looking at his work with satisfaction, Young Master Lin narrowed his eyes, and after drying it, he quickly brought the paper to Old Master Lan, "Sir, can you add this picture to it?"

Reaching out to take the paper that Lin Xuan handed over, looking at the clear picture on it, both Mr. Lan and Lu Yan were a little surprised.

The flame cloud pattern is wrapped around a shield, with the word "Heaven" inside, which looks flamboyant at first glance, but if it is carved in jade, it will be a little more delicate, which is not unsuitable for Lin Ruhai.

But, is the word inside really good?

Although Yushi avoided the fate of being ruined, the worry in Old Man Lan's eyes was not light but serious, "Boy of the Lin family, why is there a word 'sky' in it?"

Appreciating the Tiance logo he drew, the young master of the Lin family rubbed his face, then turned his head with a blank expression, "My God? I just drew it casually."

They are Tiance, of course there is a word "Tian" in it, but these can't be said, the word is simply simple, and it is not impossible to say that it was drawn randomly.

"Sir, don't you think this looks good?" Blinking her eyes and looking at Mr. Lan, Lin Xuan put the paper back, and said seriously, "Let my brother keep the jade pendant with him in the future, knowing that it is the sign of the young master. Let's see who dares to bully my brother, one day, this will be my brother's pride!"

Looking at the young master of the Lin family with a serious face, Lu Yan curled his lips. The relationship between the two brothers is still so good.

After only three seconds of being serious, Lin Xuan looked at Old Man Lan eagerly, "Mr. decides the value of this piece of jade. I will bring the money with me next time I come. Don't let my brother know. It's a surprise. "

Knowing what kind of temperament Lin Xuan is, it might have been drawn out with two strokes at random. In the worst case, I will use my brain later. Mr. Lan put away the drawing, and then slapped Young Master Lin on the head.

"Old man, I'm not short of money. It's a piece of mind for Kid Ruhai. You can just come and get it when the time comes."

——Speaking of a gentleman, warm him like jade.

Lin Ruhai is a modest gentleman, gentle and introverted, and he is a perfect match for Yushi. The old man is also happy that Yushi can have a good owner.

"How is this possible? Mister is not short of money, and I am not short either!" Lin Xuan, who was being happy, watched Mr. Lan put away the drawings, clapped his hands, and looked like he was done. he.

The corner of his mouth twitched, looking at the half-grown boy who exudes "not bad money" all over his body, old man Lan waved his hand, and even pushed Lu Yan out, "It's alright, alright, don't disturb the old man while I'm doing my work."

"Okay, sir, you must carve the picture perfectly, please, please, goodbye~"

Getting kicked out didn't affect her good mood either. Lin Xuan waved her hands until Mr. Lan slammed the door shut, and then she was content to look like her little friend.

"Ah Yan, what are you looking at?" Realizing that the little friend's attention was not on her, Lin Xuan patted Lu Yan's shoulder, and followed his gaze.

At the street corner outside the shop, a handsome young man in blue came towards us with a stick in one hand and a sneer, "Run! Keep running!"

The hand on Lu Yan's shoulder stiffened instantly, Lin Xuan tugged at the corner of her mouth and turned her head decisively, "A-Gump—"

The author has something to say: About Tiance’s flag, it seems that Brother Yang Bao explained on Weibo that the Tianzi flag is used for daily expeditions, and the Miezi flag is only used when the Tiansha Camp is performing tasks or when the Tiance Mansion is really dead. So, don't worry about whether the school logo is "heaven" or "destroyed", mua~
