The two stopped fighting and followed the servant, glaring at each other the whole way.
"I said your family's customs are really weird. Did you know that even after the Qing Dynasty fell, you still use such rules and regulations? I feel a little annoyed. It's too troublesome. I shouldn't have to do it when eating.
Testing poison or something?" Qiao Meng suddenly thought of these things on the way and complained.
"It's not as complicated as you think, but it's about the same. You'll find out when you go. You still have to eat anyway, otherwise you'll starve to death here." Baidu said jokingly.
"Do I look like the kind of person who would rather starve to death than give in? It's a joke. Don't talk about rules. Even if you have to eat like an emperor, I won't be bothered." Qiao Meng was very proud.
said.
"This is what you said, don't regret it." Baidu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Qiao Meng with a half-smile.
"What did I say? Wait, what do you mean by that? Is there some conspiracy!" Qiao Meng suddenly realized that it was not possible to seek death, because if you seek death, you will definitely die. It is better to choose not to commit suicide.
.
"Let's go, you can eat whatever you want. Guests don't need to follow the rules of the family in our house. As long as they don't touch the taboos of the Bai family, it will be fine." Bai Du said lightly.
"Then what if I join your Bai family?"
Qiao Meng asked again, he didn't want to have to abide by so many rules in the future, so it would be better to just kill him, it would be too torture.
"I don't think my dad will use these things to embarrass you. After all, if you want to retain talents, you must retain people's hearts instead of binding them with an invisible framework." Baidu said this very calmly.
After listening to this, Qiao Meng thought to himself, "This Baidu should not be underestimated. I have been with him for so long and I have never seen such a calm side of him since I found out that he is the boss behind Gulou City.
My heart started to feel a little numb, and I forgot that he is also a big boss."
"And his ability to hide his identity is higher than anyone else. This game may not all be set up by the old man. Baidu must also be one of the masterminds. He wants me, an uncertain chess piece, to join the Bai family first.
lineup to avoid becoming enemies that are difficult to deal with in the future.”
Now Qiao Meng is no longer the same person he used to be. He has to think clearly about what is going on before he can do things, and he can no longer be too arbitrary.
Because the world we have seen is so vast, and I know that my strength is not strong enough to be able to act arbitrarily, there will be no problem in letting my temper follow my temper when the day comes.
If you want to survive for a long time in today's society, you must first learn to be forbearing and bow your head, and then you can hold your head high and chest out more powerfully. The world of treasure appraising is becoming increasingly difficult.
"Qiao Meng, what's wrong with you? You seem to be a little absent-minded suddenly." Baidu looked at him and asked.
"Oh, it's okay. I'm just guessing what the scene will be like later. Besides, the food made by the chefs in Gulou City is so delicious. I really don't know what the food made by your own chef will be like.
You won't be lowered, right?" Qiao Meng reacted quickly and quickly thought of words to respond.
"Don't worry, it's definitely a first-class delicacy. As for whether it's in Gulou City, you have to taste it yourself. I can't help you experience the taste. After all, a hundred tongues can eat the same thing.
There will be a hundred kinds of flavors, each with its own advantages." Baidu replied with a smile.
"Yes, let's go quickly, don't make your dad anxious while waiting." Qiao Meng said and quickened his pace, no longer thinking about it.
"I'm a little hungry when you say this, but don't mind if there may be a lot of people later." Baidu also quickened his pace and followed.
"Oh, I know. Wouldn't it be weird if it was just your father and me during dinner time? The whole family has to go out to eat. Can I also meet your wife?" Qiao Meng
said.
"I said, why are you always thinking about this? Friends' wives are not to be bullied. Do you know why you clicked on my wife? Do you still lack beautiful women in your family?" Baidu said very dissatisfied.
"What do you mean I'm thinking about your wife? I'm just checking to see if my siblings are okay. Besides, it's something you've been talking about but can't bring out, so how can I not be curious?" Qiao Meng said dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Brother Qiao, please be kind."
Bai Du said he had nothing to say. It was true that he always liked to talk about his wife at first, but Qiao Meng talked about it a little too much, which made him very uncomfortable and felt blocked in his heart.
"What are you thinking about? Am I that kind of person? Don't you know that I still have a few people that I can't handle. I have to ask your wife for some advice. Women know women better."
Qiao Meng explained that he could also understand Baidu's mood. If a woman always talks about him like this, she will definitely not perform any better than Baidu. She is the one who should protect herself.
"So that's it. My wife is still very talkative, but I guess she won't be willing to help you with this matter. She doesn't like to see a man who is a playboy." Baidu shook his head and said.
"I've noticed that you've been very naughty recently. Am I being too careless? I'm just a real girlfriend now. Have you seen me hooking up with other women? Don't talk nonsense. If it causes a war, I'll only ask you!" Qiao Meng warned.
road.
"You also said that one fiancée is not enough. One is following you wholeheartedly to serve you, and there is another who even risked his life to take bullets for you. I really don't know how you have such great charm." Baidu said dissatisfied.
"Isn't it good-looking, young master?" Qiao Meng smoothed his hair and said rather coolly.
As soon as Qiao Meng started to show off his coolness, Baidu had no choice but to let him act arrogant and arrogant for a while.
The two of them talked and laughed all the way to the banquet. It looked exactly like the emperor's banquets on TV.
Bai's father was sitting in a position similar to a dragon chair. Sitting next to him should be Bai Du's mother. She looked gentle and didn't say much. She just sat beside him quietly with a smile on her face.
It used to be quite eye-catching.
Looking at the people below, it seems that they have basically arranged their seats in the same order. The older they are, the closer they are to Bai’s father’s position. The younger ones are also sitting in a pile, and there is still one empty seat.
I don’t know who it is for, but it is in the middle position opposite to Baidu’s position. Qiao Meng is sitting next to it, and he was able to arrange such a position because he is a distinguished guest.
"Now that everyone is here, let's prepare to have a banquet. The reason why tonight will be more crowded is that you have all heard about it. Bai'er invited back a distinguished guest, the youngest double national champion, who was also invited to come back some time ago.
I am conferring the holy title of Treasure Appraisal on Qiao Meng, who is known as God Qiao." Father Bai said loudly, his words revealed a domineering tone, but he also expressed his extreme appreciation for Qiao Meng.
Qiao Meng knew that he would naturally stand up when his name was called, so he picked up the wine glass on the table and said: "Junior Qiao Meng is here to toast you all. Please forgive me for causing any inconvenience here today."
He followed his own understanding that his hands were smooth and formal, and he thought it should be in line with the Bai family's style of doing things.
Sure enough, after he said these words, many people from the Bai family looked at him with approval and welcomed his arrival, so everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.
"Okay, now that everyone knows each other, let's do whatever we want." Father Bai gave the order, and everyone below officially entered the banquet state.
At this time, Qiao Meng was still immersed in the information provided by his treasure appraisal ability and could not turn around, because when he touched this wine glass, he realized that it was not an ordinary porcelain wine glass, but one of the real Nine Dragon Cups.
, it is really too extravagant and wasteful to take it apart for use.
Moreover, this is not an ordinary wine cup used by the Ming Dynasty emperor to reward his ministers, but one of the cups he personally used. Moreover, Qiao Meng's cup belonged to the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, so it goes without saying how precious it is.
When he first saw this cup, Qiao Meng felt that it was a little special. How could there be only one such exquisite cup, and the pattern did not recognize a separate type of cup. However, when he looked at everyone's table, he found that it was really everyone's cup.
The cups are all different.
He stretched out his hand to hold the cup used by Baidu and found that it was of a different type. His was a jade wine cup from the Tang Dynasty. It was cool and moist in color. It had a cold feeling when he held it in his hand, which was very comfortable.
The cup is small but heavy, and the wall of the cup is thick enough. It looks very round, and there is no year mark on it.
However, the result of the treasure appraisal ability is that this cup was used by Li Longji during the Tang Dynasty. There is a small gap on the bottom. The weathering on the gap can prove its authenticity.
Moreover, this wine glass also has a nice name called "Yu Linglong". If it appeared on the market, the price of this wine glass alone could reach tens of millions.
"Is the Bai family really as rich as the rest of the country? Just the wine glasses at the banquet would cost so many articles." Qiao Meng complained secretly in his heart.
He himself used the Emperor's Nine Dragon Cup, and Baidu used the same cup that the Emperor had used. The others' cups also looked very special. This suddenly gave him a rather ridiculous idea, and he planned to test it.
Qiao Meng came to some people and started to toast them. Since he was an outsider, he could pretend not to know the rules here and use clinking glasses to persuade them. In this way, he could touch other people's glasses naturally and verify them.
I had a guess in my mind.
After experimenting with several people, we finally got the results.
"Sure enough, these are wine glasses distributed according to the superior and inferior, but why is my status so high? Is it hinting at something to me?" Qiao Meng murmured to his mouth.
