The two of them came to a quiet bookstore and ordered two cups of tea. Lu Songtao handed a beautiful box to Lu Shanmin and said with a smile: "Give it to you."

Lu Shanmin stared at the box on the table and did not reach out to pick it up. He knew that it was the old antique inkstone I saw in the hotel conference room just now, and also knew that for a person who loves calligraphy, the inkstone he liked was the meaning of

How important it is, it can never be measured by money.

"You are willing to bear it"?

Lu Songtao smiled a little embarrassedly, "When Wang Anshi used it, the ink fragrance that has been lingering for hundreds of years, I really can't bear to smell it since I was a child." As he said that, "But it's worth it."

As a person who also loves calligraphy, how could Lu Shanmin not like it? He was even a little ecstatic.

"Then I'm not polite." As he said that, he grabbed the box with both hands.

Lu Songtao was stunned for a moment. In fact, when he heard Lu Shanmin ask him if he was willing to let him go, he was already a little regretful. He thought Lu Shanmin would refuse, but he was also worried about whether he was too impulsive just now and how to deal with Lu Shanmin's next.

He refused, but he didn't expect Lu Shanmin to accept it so simply.

Lu Shanmin pulled the box over from Lu Songtao's hand.

Lu Songtao smiled awkwardly, "The sword is matched with a hero, and the inkstone is matched with a confidant, and only you can deserve it."

Lu Shanmin carefully stroked the box, "Don't worry, the inkstone is there, the inkstone is gone, and the inkstone is gone, I will collect his own."

Lu Songtao pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, feeling a little tingling, but he was not ashamed to come back from what he gave out.

"Mountains, among the people I have met, you are different from everyone else," Lu Songtao said after taking a sip of tea.

"This is the sentence again"? Lu Shanmin smiled faintly.

Lu Songtao frowned slightly, "Have I said this to you?"

Lu Shanmin said lightly: "Several people have said this before you."

Lu Songtao said oh, "Have you heard that when you enter the Marquis's Gate is as deep as the sea?"

Lu Shanmin nodded, "Of course I have heard that a big family like you have more red tape and more rules. It seems that outsiders are high, but low also has the benefits of low, high and high, high and high are cold, and there are many constraints.

There is less freedom”.

Lu Songtao smiled and said, "Maybe this is why I feel that you are different from others. At any height, you naturally come into contact with people of the same height. Take the inkstone you just gave you as an example.

Among the people you have come into contact with, no matter how much they like it, they have to refuse at least two or three times. I will give it back two or three times before I accept it. You are the first one to accept it without shirking it back."

Only then did Lu Shanmin suddenly realize what Lu Songtao said was the difference.

"It seems that my height is indeed much different from yours, and I don't know how to be humble at all." Lu Shanmin smiled with a self-deprecating smile.

Lu Songtao shook his head, "In my opinion, this is better. There is less falsehood, more true feelings, and it is not that tired when communicating. You don't know that once you have a special hobby in a wealthy family

What a painful thing it is to be interested. Anyone who wants to flatter the Lu family to my liking will be annoying to me."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "You are born in blessings and don't know how to be blessed. Many people in ordinary families can't even envy them. Some people, who have been dreaming of being like you all their lives, will one day be like you, and some people even clearly

He is a poor loser, but he still has to pretend to be a big shot outside to attract attention."

Lu Songtao smiled, "It's true

There are indeed people who are so slapped and fat.”

Lu Shanmin took a sip of tea and said lightly: "It's not just that, it's not too much. A friend of mine wrote an online novel. He summarized an experience. It's actually very simple to make money by writing an online novel, so you don't need to conceive.

The plot does not require a strong character portrayal, nor does it require racking your brains to analyze the human nature of people."

Lu Songtao looked at Lu Shanmin suspiciously, "If there are none of these things, they can be called novels?"

Lu Shanmin smiled, "I don't know whether to call the novel or not, but my friend said that as long as you keep slapping the face and pretending, even if you have a lot of logic and a mess of writing, you can make a lot of money. So, I fantasize about you.

There are not only people who live a life, but in this era, there are big ones. They fantasize about becoming the protagonist like you, and they all think crazy and addicted to it."

Lu Songtao pursed his lips in contempt, "A novel like that is simply a misleading child. What is the difference between it and drugs?"

As he said that, he suddenly remembered something, "A few days ago, I saw a news story that a college student burned his family to death, saying that he was Xuantian and what a bullshit emperor was reincarnated, and he was the master of this plane, and he gave sacrifices to his family.

Then you can return to the top."

Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "A person like you is the master of this plane, so you should be content."

Lu Songtao smiled, "I find you more and more interesting, no wonder you can write such good words."

As he said that, he asked again: "Your friend who writes online novels has made a lot of money."

Lu Shanmin pursed his lips, "If it weren't for my help, he would have starved to death."

Lu Songtao said oh, "Then he has some backbone."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "If he has backbone, he will not need my help."

Lu Songtao's thin face was filled with a smile. He found that he had not chatted with people so relaxed and pleasantly for a long time.

"I've heard about you"?

Lu Shanmin nodded, knowing that he was talking about the Nalan family.

"If you want to persuade me, there is no need."

Lu Songtao shook his head, "I saw from your words last time that you would not be a person who listens to advice."

Lu Shanmin looked at Lu Songtao with some surprise and sneered, "Brother Lu is also different from other wealthy families."

Lu Songtao pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, "It's a little different. I'm not as interested in money and power as they do."

"That's because you've never experienced what it feels like to be short of money."

"Maybe," Lu Songtao smiled self-deprecatingly, "But as a friend, I want to remind you that these big families in Tianjing are different from other local tyrants, and they all have real background." After a pause,

"With your intelligence and talent, you should feel that when you compete with them, you will feel like you are shrouded in a big net, which is far from as simple as you imagined."

Lu Shanmin nodded. As he arrived in Tianjing, he felt this feeling more and more, and at the same time he was grateful to Lu Songtao from the bottom of his heart.

"So Brother Lu held a calligraphy exchange meeting with me openly and ate tea with me, just to minimize my resistance."

Lu Songtao did not deny, "I really can't be interested in the struggle in the mall and the grudges between you. I am a calligraphy fan. It's not easy to meet a soulmate in my life." He said a little apologetically: "But, I can

There are only so many things to do.”

Lu Shanmin nodded, "I understand,

How could such a big family in the Lu family affect the decisions of the entire family because of your and my personal relationship."

Lu Songtao had apologized on his face, "Although Mr. Zhu's influence is not as good as that of the past, and he has never used his identity to help the Nalan family in recent years, he is the in-laws of the Nalan family. As long as he lives, he is a big Buddha.

The town is where, although the Lu family is not afraid, it is impossible to get into evil with the Nalan family for no reason without looking at the monks and Buddhas."

Looking at Lu Songtao's apology, Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you and I know each other through calligraphy, which is the purest friendship between friends. I am grateful that you can do this for me. If you feel it.

Sorry for me, how can I bear it? I understand what you said. Not to mention Mr. Zhu is there, even if it is not Mr. Zhu, the Nalan family has a strong foundation in Tianjing, and the Lu family has no reason to do anything for me.

Relevant little people do things that kill one thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred themselves."

Lu Songtao breathed out, "Mother people, your people are indeed the same as your words, grand."

Lu Shanmin picked up the teacup and touched Lu Songtao, "You know that I approached you with a purpose and did so many things for me, you are really generous."

Lu Songtao and Lu Shanmin met and said with a smile: "Take some time to go to my house to sit."

The teacup in Lu Shanmin's hand shook slightly. Compared to drinking tea outside with Lu Songtao, the meaning of going to the Lu family was completely different. Of course, he knew what Lu Songtao meant, which was to let others see that Lu Shanmin was a friend of the Lu family.

.

"Will your family agree?"

Lu Songtao laughed, "You came to the Lu family to visit me, not to meet my family, what reason do they have to stop me?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Shanmin's mouth, "Brother Lu, thank you."

............

............

As soon as Lu Songtao parted, Lu Shanmin received a call from Xiao Nizi.

On the phone, the little girl was extremely excited about her business and was so excited that she was a little incoherent.

"Brother Shanmin, tell you a great news."

"What good news makes you so happy"?

"Just now, just now, guess who called me."

"Big blackhead"?

"wrong".

"Old charlatan"?

"wrong"?

"Secretary Chen, Village Chief Li"?

"No, no, no, no, it's Sister Zixuan."

Lu Shanmin frowned slightly. Although Nalan Zijian said last time that Ye Zixuan returned to Tianjing for the New Year this year, when she knew that she was in Tianjing, she was still a little complicated.

"Brother Shanmin, are you listening to me?"

"Um".

"What does um" mean?

"Little Nizi, what did you talk to her?"

"Hehe, I've talked a lot, talking about clothes, cosmetics, shoes,,,,,, and men. Sister Zixuan is also very happy to know that I'm in Tianjing, and she wants to ask me out for shopping?"

"You didn't tell her that I was in Tianjing."

"Of course not. Sister Zixuan doesn't know about my relationship with you yet. If you tell her, it will be a mistake."

Lu Shanmin breathed a sigh of relief. He never wanted this clean girl to be involved in these grievances.

"Brother Shanmin, aren't you going to find her?"
