The first one to come was indeed the seventh elder, Bian Nian.
In fact, in terms of distance, he was not the closest among the elders Wang Ling called. The reason why he rushed over in such a hurry was to show his loyalty.
In addition, he had other things to report to Wang Ling.
That is, what Chen Jiangliu said when he was on duty at the Presbyterian Church today.
These matters involve the third elder. Bian Nian feels that it is best to explain it clearly to the third elder in advance.
In order to avoid causing any passiveness to the three elders when bringing it up at the elders’ meeting.
It can be said that this old man is in the officialdom and has already become extremely skilled and proficient in these matters of swaying people and making secret glances.
"Oh, oh! Where can I find such a beautiful yard and such an elegant environment!"
"I'm not saying that, looking at the whole of Kyoto, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a few that can compare."
"Forget about the location, the main thing is the layout. As the saying goes, it can't be done unless you have a big heart!"
"That's the third brother who has such fantastic ideas. That's the third brother, you deserve to enjoy such elegance. Common people like us still have to learn more from the third brother."
"Third brother——"
While they were still in the courtyard, the voice had already come in. After hearing such flattering words, even Qin Tian and Zhu Zhu, who were hiding in the dark, had dark expressions on their faces.
This old boy is so flattering and so good at talking.
It's hard to tell that the Seventh Elder, who is usually sanctimonious, condescending, and has the demeanor of a master, actually has a really funny look behind his back.
After hearing this familiar and eager flattery, the third elder Wang Ling, who was originally sluggish and depressed, like a drowned dog, felt like he had been given a shot of stimulant. Like a fallen king, he heard the sound of worship again.
His spirit was shaken, and his face was instantly filled with brilliance.
He stretched his feet into his slippers and stood up to go out.
Go to a dreamy prosperous scene.
"You, sit still and don't move."
At this moment, a cold voice sounded in his ears.
The sound was like a sharp needlepoint, piercing the illusion, and then he returned to the cold reality.
The look in his eyes was like a lamp without oil, slowly extinguished. After calming down, he coughed and said calmly: "Old Qi, don't worry about talking outside. Come in."
"We are our own people, so I won't get up to greet you."
"No, no, no, we are brothers. You are the brother and I am the younger brother. There is no reason for an elder brother to welcome his younger brother."
During the conversation and laughter, the door was opened, and the seventh elder Bian Nian walked in with a beautiful box in his hand and a cheerful face.
Wang Ling glanced at the box in Bian Nian's hand and said calmly: "I'm here as soon as I come. Do you want to bring any gifts?"
"As promised, I'll treat you today."
Bian Nian came closer as if he was in a hurry to pay tribute, and said: "If it is an ordinary thing, there is no need for me to show it to the third brother."
"This is not an ordinary thing. Most people are not lucky enough to enjoy it. Only Third Brother."
"Authentic and top-quality wild sea cucumbers. The youngest one is nine years old. Each one weighs one or two pounds after soaking. Third brother, guess where it comes from."
Wang Ling said calmly: "I heard that sea cucumbers are the best in the East China Sea. But nowadays people are not old-fashioned, and they are pursuing profits without a bottom line. They are passing off inferior products as good ones, using farmed ones as wild ones, and even using various additives. The market is too chaotic.
"
Bian Nian is a big fan: "If you don't say that I am the third brother, I look like he has been eating sea cucumbers all year round. He is very knowledgeable about all kinds of market conditions."
