"Young man, you have such a thorough analysis of the way of being an official. Are you interested in being transferred to the capital? My old man still has a little bit of ability. If you are willing, I can help you with this."

Li Yuanlang responded calmly: "The little rhetoric about the five senses theory is just inspired by my actual work. I am trying to do something in front of you. I haven't done enough. I need to immerse myself in it to learn more and accumulate experience.

and my own abilities. Thank you for your continued love for me. I would rather do my job well and lead the people of Shuiming Township to live a prosperous life as soon as possible."

"Well, it's not bad. You didn't even get a few compliments from me. It shows that you, a young man, are not proud and know how to be humble. You are a malleable talent." Mr. Gu nodded with satisfaction.

Li Yuanlang's heart skipped a beat. This was the old man throwing out bait to test him. Thanks to his refusal, otherwise the good impression left in the early stage would have been wasted.

What are the habits of the Gu family? They like to test people so much? First it was Gu Zhenggang, and then there was the old man. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap they have made. You have to be extremely cautious.

After chatting with Mr. Gu, Li Yuanlang said goodbye and came out. The moment he closed the door, he felt chilly all over. Well, he was sweating all over. Instead of chatting, it was clearly a big test.

Hearing the door slamming on Li Yuanlang's side, Shui Tingyue from the opposite room was the first to run out and asked with concern how he and his grandfather were talking.

"It's okay." Li Yuanlang replied calmly.

Later, Shui Qingzhang, Gu Hongyan and Gu Zhenggang also came out. Shui Qingzhang asked: "What topic did the old man talk to you?"

"On the five senses." Li Yuanlang replied.

"This is a new topic. This is the first time I've heard of it." Shui Qingzhang clasped his hands behind his back, savoring the meaning of the theory of five senses.

"It's not new." Gu Zhenggang replied with a smile: "Before you guys came, the old man asked me and my eldest brother. We both explained to him. He was not satisfied. Why did he want to ask Yuen Long again? I really like a road.

When you reach darkness, it’s not finished if you don’t ask for understanding.”

"Who spoke ill of me behind my back again?" As the voice spoke, a tall and sturdy man appeared in front of everyone.

He is in his fifties, and his hair is slicked back in a 37-part length. At first glance, he almost looks like Gu Hongyan with his hair cut off his face.

"No, brother, we are just talking about the five-sensory theory that our dad mentioned to Yuen Long again." Judging from the tone, this man should be Gu Zhengchuan, the eldest son of the Gu family and the deputy mayor of Shenyang City.

Shui Qingzhang introduced Li Yuanlang to Gu Zhengchuan, "I've heard of you a long time ago. You are the protagonist of this family tonight. Behave well and don't let us down."

"Thank you uncle for reminding me, I will treat Tingyue well." Li Yuanlang answered very truthfully, his eyes as clear as water.

Behind Gu Zhengchuan stood a man and a woman, both of whom seemed to be over thirty years old. The man looked very distinctive, with a slicked back hair, Buddhist beads on his wrist, and playing with Wenwan walnuts in his right hand, looking cynical.

Looking at the woman again, Li Yuanlang was shocked. It wasn't the woman's beauty that surprised him, but the face seemed familiar to Li Yuanlang, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Shui Tingyue took the initiative to introduce him. The man's name was Gu Chuang, and he was Gu Zhengchuan's eldest son. He currently serves as the vice president of the Shencheng Entrepreneurs Association and the chairman of Aoxiang Group.

The woman's name was Gu Liuyan, the daughter of Gu Zhenggang, a film and television actress. Because they were both older than Shui Tingyue, Li Yuanlang followed Shui Tingyue's name and called them cousin and cousin respectively.

Gu Chuang was very indifferent to Li Yuanlang. He shook hands with Li Yuanlang in a symbolic way, but immediately let go after touching his hands for a moment. It was as if Li Yuanlang had some infectious disease and was afraid of being infected.

Gu Liuyan? No wonder she looks familiar. It turns out that I often see this charming face on TV. In Li Yuanlang’s impression, the film and television dramas that Gu Liuyan participated in were all supporting roles, either as a mistress or as a fireworks woman.

, very charming and coquettish, this may be related to her naturally charming and charming appearance.

Without shaking hands with Gu Liuyan, Li Yuanlang called "cousin". Gu Liuyan frowned slightly, not sure whether he was dissatisfied with Li Yuanlang's name or simply didn't think highly of Li Yuanlang. Anyway, similar to Gu Chuang, he didn't care about Li Yuanlang.

No cold.

Of course, Li Yuanlang won't mind. He is marrying Shui Tingyue, not her cousin. He can do whatever he wants. Their attitudes are not important. As long as Mr. Gu agrees, Shui Qingzhang and Gu Hongyan do not object. The key is that Shui Tingyue is willing.

, this wife cannot escape from his grasp.

After a brief meeting, the three Gu family sisters and Shui Qingzhang went to the old man's room to celebrate the New Year and talk. Only four people, Gu Chuang, Gu Liuyan, Shui Tingyue and Li Yuanlang, were left in the living room.

Gu Chuang lazily sat down on the chair, crossed his legs, and took out a large cigar. Just as he was about to light it, Gu Liuyan snatched it away, glared at him fiercely and said, "Grandpa is not allowed in this room."

Smoking, your dog's memory has forgotten again."

"This old man has been smoking all his life. He quit smoking when he got older. He won't let others smoke." Gu Chuang reluctantly rubbed his nose with his finger, and asked Li Yuanlang in turn: "I heard you are that one

What's the name of a township chief? Your place is quite poor, right?"

Shui Tingyue immediately corrected her: "It's called Shuiming Township, and Yuen Long is not only the township head, but also the secretary."

"What's the difference? He's just a rural cadre." Gu Chuang curled his lips disapprovingly.

"Cousin, please don't speak harshly, okay? What happened to the rural cadres? The rural cadres are no worse than you, the chairman." Shui Tingyue heard the dissonance in Gu Chuangchuang's words and immediately became angry.

"Xiaoyue, my cousin is just that kind of person. You are just trying to find fault with him. Come on, let's go to another room. I just brought you some cosmetics and clothes from abroad. See if you like it.

"Gu Liuyan came out to stop it at the right time, calmed down the internal fighting within the family, picked up Shui Tingyue and left.

"You go ahead, I'll have a chat with my cousin." Shui Tingyue was worried that Li Yuanlang would be ridiculed by Gu Chuang, but Li Yuanlang was very confident and smiled at her, telling her to go without worries, he could handle things here.

As soon as the two sisters left, Gu Chuang was busy playing with his mobile phone without raising his eyelids. In his eyes, Li Yuanlang was just a country boy. He was not in the same class as him. Where did the city and country people come from?

We have a common language and have nothing to talk about.

Li Yuanlang looked at Gu Chuang with a smile. When he saw the Wenwan walnuts he put on the table, he walked over and said hello. After receiving his approval, he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time.

When Gu Chuang saw it, he snorted coldly. He squinted at Li Yuanlang and asked, "You, a country secretary, still know how to play with walnuts?"

"I don't know much about it, but I know a little bit about it." Li Yuanlang placed the walnuts heavily on the table and said, "Walnuts, we have them in the mountains, but they are wild walnuts, and they cannot be compared with the highly hyped Wenwan walnuts. But what?

, I have played before, I have a pair at home, but I can’t play because of my status.”

"Oh, what kind of walnuts are you wearing? Are they fake?"

"It's not fake at all. It was given to me by a friend of mine. I bought it as a bet on Qingpi. It has four buildings." Li Yuanlang said calmly.

"Four buildings? You got it from betting on green leather?" Gu Chuang looked at Li Yuanlang in disbelief.

It’s not to blame for his expression. The Four Buildings are a veteran breed. They are solid and solemn, especially the bottom with obvious lines in the shape of a chrysanthemum radiating, which is very attractive.

At present, it seems that the four-story building is the most expensive to purchase in Beiqingpi. What is Beiqingpi? It means buying and selling walnuts with outer skins. When speculation was booming in the past, the four-story building in Beiqingpi could really build a building in my hometown in the countryside.

Out.

"You belong to the lion's head. Look at the walnut turned upside down. It looks like the shape of the mane of the stone lion at the Yamen Gate in ancient times. It has a thick shape, an upright pile, short and thick edges, small and blunt points, and deep and stretched lines.

, the bottom is huge, thick and flat, the leather is easy to red, and the color when played is very beautiful." Li Yuanlang took out one of the walnuts, looked at it in the sunshine outside the window, shook his head and started to snarl.

"What?" Gu Chuang finally raised his butt and came closer, looking at Li Yuanlang blankly.

He just likes to play with walnuts and is a beginner. He is especially fond of playing with walnuts and is particularly interested in them.

"Your walnut dish is pretty good. You put a lot of thought into the dish and the brush. But there's one thing you didn't pay attention to. The walnut itself has a higher density. You didn't use olive oil or dyeing paste, but you used walnut oil.

Things containing oil will cause certain damage to the walnut itself. A large amount of pigments and oil precipitation will cause the walnut skin or color to become gray, dark, and have black lines. This is all harmful but useless. So after finishing the game, play with it.

Walnuts, remember to use ointment stains and oil products, that’s the basics.”

"Is it true?" Gu Chuang held it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly in disbelief. Not to mention, the texture of one of the walnuts did have the black lines that Li Yuanlang said, and in comparison, it was not as bright as before.

"Brother, I did apply walnut oil a while ago, and now I have black lines and darkening. What should I do? Is there any way to fix it?" Sitting on the chair next to Li Yuanlang, Gu Chuang asked for advice attentively.

The title of Deputy Yuen Long has also quietly changed, from "countryman" to "brother".

"The black lines are easy to deal with. I think you just need to brush the black lines a few times with a brush. As for darkening, you need to apply it more often. After a long time, these things will disappear naturally."

Li Yuanlang took the walnuts and patiently explained to Gu Chuang: "Pinning walnuts is a process that accumulates time and hard work. As time goes by, the walnuts are rubbed for a long time, that is, when you brush them with a hand plate and a brush, the surface finish becomes better and better.

, the color changes from light to dark, the whole becomes crystal clear, and the jade is very obvious, which is of great ornamental and collection value, so it is very important to play with Wenwan walnuts."
