This small bungalow looks good from the outside, and even better from the inside.

The luxurious decoration is bright red, the walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings of unknown authenticity, and the hall is filled with antiques of unknown age, which is full of heroism. Lu Shanmin stopped and looked at a blue and white porcelain, and said lightly: "I didn't expect that a local snake in a remote small county could actually...

He has such a large amount of wealth."

Nalan Zijian chuckled, "He is full of nobility, but also full of rusticity. The word "rich" means that it is easy to be rich, but it is difficult to be rich. Without the accumulation of several generations, no matter how rich you are, you will still be a country bumpkin."

Lu Shanmin asked Nalan Zijian aside, "Are you talking about you, or are you talking about me?"

Nalan Zijian laughed and put his arm around Lu Shanmin's shoulders, "Cousin-in-law, this just goes without saying. You and I are a family."

Lu Shanmin slapped Nalan Zijian's hand away in disgust and glanced at the furnishings on the second floor, "It's really rustic."

Nalan Zijian unconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Lu Shanmin's arm and walked in, "Don't look at it, ninety-nine percent of it is fake. Heaven's cycle of retribution is not good, this fool cheated and deceived, and all the money was given to him.

I was deceived by a scammer selling antique calligraphy and paintings.”

The middle-aged man who had just reached the stairs happened to hear Nalan Zijian's words, and his heart trembled. These antiques, calligraphy and paintings had taken him half a lifetime to save, and they were intended to be passed on to his son as family heirlooms.

They were all fake. He felt like he had lost half his life, and he secretly determined to cut into pieces the liars who had tricked him.

In the center of the hall on the second floor, several cold dishes and two bottles of Maotai have been placed on the large round sandalwood table.

Lu Shanmin was not polite and sat directly at the top.

Nalan Zijian didn't mind either. He smiled and sat down next to Lu Shanmin. He opened a bottle of Maotai and prepared to pour wine for Lu Shanmin.

At this time, the middle-aged man who had already gone upstairs quickly ran up in three steps and then grabbed the wine bottle from Nalan Zijian's hand.

"Brothers, let me pour you a drink."

Nalan Zijian raised his hand and put it on the back of the middle-aged man's hand, stopping him from pouring the wine.

"Are you qualified to pour us drinks?"

The middle-aged man froze on the spot in embarrassment, then handed the bottle to Nalan Zijian with a smile on his face, and said with an apologetic smile: "Yes, yes, brother said I am not qualified, so I am not qualified."

With that said, Nalan Zijian pulled up a stool and prepared to sit down.

Nalan Zijian stretched out his legs and moved the stool sideways. The middle-aged man sat down on the ground with a pop.

"Are you qualified to sit here?"

The middle-aged man's face turned red and white. He stood up and stood to one side, and slapped himself hard, "Brother, please forgive me, I don't understand the rules."

Nalan Zijian looked at the middle-aged man with a smile and said, "Man, it's not bad. It looks like he is doing something big."

The middle-aged man felt excited in his heart. Since he had made up his mind to hug this thigh, he had already put his face aside.

"I'm just a gangster from a small place. The two eldest brothers are the real ones. If you don't mind, I'm willing to work hard for them."

The middle-aged man said, walked up to Lu Shanmin, and knelt down with a bang, "Little brother, I don't have the eyes to see the mountains. Big brother, you have a lot. Please forgive me for being reckless."

Lu Shanmin glanced at the middle-aged man with disgust and looked at Nalan Zijian calmly, "Are you deliberately disgusting me?"

Nalan Zijian grinned and kicked the middle-aged man in the face. The middle-aged man was unsteady on his knees and fell to the ground.

"roll"!

a quiet voice

, the shock made the middle-aged man's eardrums buzz. He didn't dare to stay or have any more illusions. He quickly got up and ran downstairs.

Nalan Zijian picked up the wine glass again and poured wine for Lu Shanmin, "Cousin, have a drink first to warm yourself up."

Lu Shanmin said calmly: "Don't you find it boring?"

"Oh, cousin, I am avenging you. This little brat actually bullied you. It is simply unjust. This is considered a minor crime. Even if he kills his whole family, he will not be able to atone for his sins."

"Besides, I know you don't like this person. It's just that you are too stuck in the rules. You obviously hate him, but you don't want to do anything to him. So I have to do it for you."

Lu Shanmin said calmly: "You do whatever you want."

"Isn't this what I learned from you? Follow your heart when doing things. If you like someone, treat him well. If you don't like him, treat him badly. Don't you just have to be in a smooth mood in life?"

"Don't push it on me. I don't dare to teach you, and you can't learn it either."

Nalan Zijian poured wine into his own glass and said while pouring: "It's boring to say that it is boring. I have been waiting for you here for two days. This small and remote place has no entertainment at all. It was not easy to find it.

I was in a place where I was drinking wine, and I met this bastard who wanted to rob me. That’s not the most annoying thing. What’s most annoying is that all the girls in his place are so slutty that they could kill someone with their butts. It’s off-putting and spicy.

Eyes".

Lu Shanmin rubbed his wine glass, "You can tell from the injuries on their bodies that it was me who did it, and then I carefully arranged for them to intercept me at bus stations and major intersections."

Nalan Zijian said with an aggrieved look: "Cousin-in-law, the word 'Jie' is not used accurately. I welcome you with good intentions."

"I can't take your good intentions seriously."

Nalan Zijian lamented, "Cousin-in-law, my feelings for you can be judged by the sun and the moon. It is said that the distance will tell the horse, and the time will tell the heart. You and I have known each other for so many years. Ask yourself, how do I treat you?"

"Not very good." Lu Shanmin picked up his chopsticks and ate a piece of vegetables. He was already hungry after walking along the way.

Nalan Zijian picked up his wine glass and said, "Prejudice, cousin-in-law, you have a very deep prejudice against me."

Lu Shanmin ignored Nalan Zijian and continued eating.

Nalan Zijian picked up the wine glass in front of Lu Shanmin and forced it into Lu Shanmin's hand. "First have a glass of wine to warm your stomach. I have come all the way to greet you just to eliminate your prejudice against me."

Lu Shanmin put down his chopsticks and looked at Nalan Zijian, "Do you know why so many people can't believe you?"

Nalan Zijian picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the wine glass in Lu Shanmin's hand, "Are there many?"

Lu Shanmin asked back: "What do you think?"

Nalan Zijian said helplessly: "I know, you want to say that I am being mysterious, but I can't help myself. If you are as honest and simple as you, and everyone sees you clearly, then I can only

If I am a chess piece like you, I can no longer be a chess player."

Lu Shanmin chuckled lightly and said, "You are full of lies, but this sentence is quite clear."

Nalan Zijian picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, "I can get your praise. It seems that this time is not in vain."

Lu Shanmin finished his glass of wine, put down his glass, and continued eating, "Only a shameless person like you would take this as a compliment."

Nalan Zijian poured wine into their glasses again, "Since I can come here from Tianjing to greet you, it is enough to prove my sincerity."

Lu Shanmin raised his eyelids and glanced at Nalan Zijian, "I am

Waiting for your sincerity”.

Nalan Zijian pointed to the two bottles of Maotai, "I promise you, after drinking these two bottles of Maotai, you will know my sincerity." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass again and touched it with Lu Shanmin, "But there is no need to worry.

, before that, I would like to congratulate you for reaching a higher level."

Lu Shanmin picked up the wine glass and frowned slightly, "It seems you know a lot."

There was a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs, and a middle-aged man with a bandaged face and another man also wearing a bandage came up carrying a steaming roasted whole lamb.

After the dishes were put down, the middle-aged man said with a sneer on his face, "Two eldest brothers, there are sheep whips and sheep kidneys behind."

Nalan Zijian frowned slightly, "Damn it, it's all irritating stuff."

The middle-aged man forced out a pug-like smile and said, "Don't be afraid of getting angry. I have already arranged for two of our Ningcheng top names to help the two eldest brothers relieve their anger at any time."

Nalan Zijian smiled at Lu Shanmin and said, "Cousin-in-law, this bastard is very thoughtful."

Lu Shanmin's face was gloomy and he said two words, "disgusted"!

"Pah!" Nalan Zijian slapped the middle-aged man in the face with his backhand, "Get out!"

The middle-aged man ran away again.

Nalan Zijian took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, "Ants are just ants. I really think I can climb a high branch and reach the sky in one step. I am overestimating my ability."

Lu Shanmin ignored Nalan Zijian, tore off a leg of lamb and started to feast on it. Even eating a steamed bun at his wife's house felt heavy. Here, he was relaxed and comfortable, without any psychological pressure at all.

Nalan Zijian poured the third glass of wine and said, "After drinking this glass of wine, I will slowly answer your doubts. You can ask questions at any time during the process."

Lu Shanmin freed one hand to hold up the wine glass, with a calm expression on his face. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years. What's more, over the years, Nalan Zijian has never really told the truth to him honestly. He

His heart was as still as water, and he was not moved by Nalan Zijian's sincerity.

"Tell me about it".

The two raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. Lu Shanmin continued to chew on the leg of lamb as if nothing had happened. Nalan Zijian began to say slowly: "I said a long time ago that we are the same kind of people. People like you and me, now

What we do now has long gone beyond such vulgar things as profit. Such vulgar things cannot satisfy our inner needs. Only spiritual detachment is an endless source of motivation for us to move forward."

Lu Shanmin said vaguely while eating: "Stop it, I'm not as high-minded as you say, and I'm not the same type of person as you."

Nalan Zijian smiled and said, "You said that you are a person without ideals or dreams, but you carry the ideals and dreams of a group of people, and they have become your ideals and dreams. You don't think so.

Deny it."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "Even so, my ideals and dreams are different from yours. What I carry are the ideals and dreams of the lowest people in this world, and you, as a vested interest, no matter what your ideals,

Regardless of dreams, they are destined to be against me."

Nalan Zijian laughed, and while pouring wine again, he said: "Cousin-in-law, nothing is absolute, you are too arbitrary."
