C658 The Meeting of Old Friends

By the time they arrived at Jinling, it was already the evening. After arranging the residences, Chen Baian warned Lin Bai a few times and then led Shen Lingfeng out the door with a worried heart. He wanted to borrow the aid of the Abilities Bureau to find out where the reverse pentagram array was located in Jinling, and also to invite a few Feng Shui people from Nanjing to see if they could find a solution to the problem.

"You have to stay in the house and not run around." You have to stay in the house and not run around. Before leaving, Chen Baian was still a little worried about Lin Bai, so he gave him a few words of warning. He then looked at Zhang SanKuang and Liu Jingtian and said, "Both of you, calm down. Don't pester Lin Bai."

Zhang Sanming and Liu Jingtian smilingly patted their chests as they accepted the offer. Then, one after the other, they escorted Chen Baian and Shen Lingfeng out of the hotel. They watched as Chen Baian walked away. They smiled at each other, then slipped into Lin Bai's room. With a smile in their eyes, they gazed at Lin Bai from head to toe.

Lin Bai couldn't help but scratch his arm as the two stared at him. "If you two have something to say, just say it. Don't play tricks here, it makes people panic!"

"Youngest junior brother, it was so easy to come to Nanjing. Wouldn't it be a loss if we stayed in the hotel? Furthermore, in order to find the Five Elements Reversal Formation, one has to walk around Nanjing City a lot. Upon hearing that, Zhang SanKuang chuckled as he looked at Lin Bai with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Jingtian quickly added: "Moreover, he has an old acquaintance in Nanjing City. I don't believe that you don't want to meet him. "In addition, there is also something special about this place. Senior Brother and I have been admiring this horse for a long time. If we don't go and take a look at what this skinny horse looks like, we will have lost our lives!"

Seeing their lustful expressions, Lin Bai could not help but bitterly smile and shake his head. He had heard about the thin horse before. Raising thin horses was a deformed industry in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. First, they paid money to buy back the beautiful girls in the poor families, and then to study them. They taught them how to sing and dance, or play zither or chess, or draw paintings, and when they grew up, they would sell them to the rich to be concubines or enter the Qin Pavilion to make a profit.

Because poor women are thin, "thin horse" name from here. There was an extremely strict appraisal procedure for skinny horses, and the most important one was the evaluation of the small feet of skinny horses. There was also a very detailed method for identifying the 'Three-Inch Golden Lotus', and seven standards were set for this purpose: 'Thin, Small, Sharp, Curved, Fragrant, Soft, Righteous'.

Moreover, according to their looks and talents, the "thin horses" were divided into three, six, and nine groups. In Ding Yaoguang's "Continuing Golden Bottle Plum", the first class "thin horse" was taught to play the zither and play the flute, write poems, draw and play Go, play double land, wipe the bone card, all sorts of coquettishness ". Such a" thin horse "could sell for more than 1500 taels of silver at that time.

At first, this thin horse was only popular in Yangzhou and other places, but it gradually spread to the whole country. Although there was a knife on the head, there were still countless people who liked it. Even in the modern world, this industry was still the same. However, the evaluation of the thin horses had changed a lot.

However, even though he had heard the news, Lin Bai had never seen a skinny horse before. After being urged by these two, he was somewhat tempted.

"Youngest junior brother, I, your senior brother, have suffered all my life and have finally had the opportunity to open my eyes to the world. Even if I don't open my eyes to the world, it's still a good opportunity." Seeing how Lin Bai was deep in thought, Zhang SanKuang squeezed out a few tears out of his eyes and begged Lin Bai.

Seeing that, Liu Jingtian also added on: "Senior, what you said is not wrong. The three of us are all pure and elegant people, how could we do such common things? "And, since the heavens know about this, the three of us will definitely not know about it."

Seeing that Lin Bai was about to waver, both of them puffed up their tongues, wishing that a lotus flower could sprout from their tongues to bewitch Lin Bai. If Chen Baian came back and saw what had happened, he would probably scold the two of them harshly. The ladies in Beijing would definitely not let them off easily if they heard about this.

"Then let's go and appraise this national treasure that has been passed down for hundreds of years." Lin Bai pondered for a moment before smiling at the two of them.

Hearing Lin Bai's words, the two of them were extremely happy. They said in unison, "Alright, then let's go and appraise the state treasure that has been passed down for hundreds of years!"

Liu Jingtian happily led the way while muttering to himself. Right now, his admiration for Lin Bai could be considered to be at the pinnacle. Lin Bai's cousin was a man of importance, he could use the word "appraise" when he went to the brothel. It was originally a vulgar thing, but now it sounded much more elegant. It would be better if he went out to play when he returned to Beijing.

Initially, they had wanted to ask Lu Yanzhao to go with them, but considering their age and status, how could they be as unruly as Zhang Sanming? After a few more words of advice from the crowd, they no longer dared to force the issue. However, the 'familiar face' that the two of them had mentioned earlier … despite all the effort Lin Bai put in, he could not utter even a single word. This was truly strange.

"Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I've finally brought all of you here!" Just as the car stopped in front of the presidential palace, a black shadow rushed down from the side of the stairs with a cigarette in his mouth. He reached out his hand to open the car door and laughed loudly.

At this moment, he finally understood why Zhang SanKuang and Liu Jingtian had kept him a secret along the way. It seemed that they had colluded with He Shaoyu a long time ago, but what made Lin Bai curious was that the great popinjay of Yu City had suddenly appeared in Jinling.

"Brother Lin, you don't know about this, but He Young Master is now a different person. He is already a capable member of the Jinling Committee for Reform and Development." Young Master He has so much to do, it's not easy for him to spare the time to accompany us while he's busy. " Liu Jingtian said in a strange tone after he lightly punched He Shaoyu's chest.

Zhang Sanmeng rolled his eyes, his right hand naturally went into He Shaoyu's pocket and dug out his wallet. However, he remained calm and said with a smile, "Working every day? I think it's more like taking care of Wan Ji in the day, right? "

"This is all because of you, Brother Lin. After the old man listened to you and promised me to marry Xiaoxiao back home, my work went smoothly." He Shaoyu ignored Liu Jingtian and Zhang SanKuang's teasing and stretched out her hand to rub her head as she expressed her gratitude towards Lin Bai.

Initially, he had scoffed at the matter between him and Xiaoxiao, and had even thought of using his own energy to separate the two. If it wasn't for Lin Bai's mediation later on, how would he have agreed to the marriage between him and Xiaoxiao. If it weren't for Lin Bai, how would he have gotten along so well?

"You two are in love with each other. I am just doing this, there is no need to do this. It's a pity I didn't go and get a wedding wine when you got married. " Lin Bai patted He Shaoyu's shoulder as he spoke. These words were not faked, but rather, came from the depths of Lin Bai's heart. During the trip to Yu, Lin Bai had long treated He Shaoyu as his own brother.

As soon as Lin Bai finished his sentence, Liu Jingtian became furious and said, "What a shitty wedding wine, let alone you, even I haven't had a single sip of water." "This kid is great. He took his wife on a tour around the country. When he came back, he sent a text message saying that he had already arranged the marriage. You say that this matter is infuriating!

"Liu-ge, don't be angry, I'll give you a refill today." He Shaoyu looked aggrieved as she stared at Lin Bai and continued, "Do you think that I don't want to set up the wine because Brother Lin's wedding and the full moon wine were too much of a mess? My family's old man said that if I continue to haggle over the marriage, some people might be dissatisfied and reject my grand plan!"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai couldn't help but burst into laughter. At the beginning, he had thought that the reason for Shaoyu's hidden marriage was because she had changed her flamboyant personality. He hadn't expected that this matter would arise because of him.

However, thinking about it carefully, He Minglin's decision was not wrong. Firstly, he was part of the Liu Family, and if he continuously celebrated openly, his face wouldn't look good. Secondly, there were some people in the four or nine cities who didn't dare to offend the Liu Family, but that didn't mean they didn't dare to care about He Minglin.

However, she had been wronged by this matter. The girl who married He Shaoyu had gotten married once in her life. Which girl didn't want to marry in broad daylight?

"I've let you down in this matter. I'll treat you to dinner today!" After you go back, tell your sister-in-law that I've promised you all. In a little while, I'll definitely let you all make up a grand wedding! " After a moment of silence, Lin Bai patted He Shaoyu on the shoulder and said solemnly.

After he had settled the matter of the Eight Lock Dragon Guards and the Five Elements Reversal Formation, he would go to the other party to beg for his help and have He Shaoyu arrange a wedding banquet for him. Based on his current open-minded character, he shouldn't refuse.

"Alright, then we have a deal. "When the time comes, I'll give my family member a surprise." Hearing this, He Shaoyu was overjoyed. She put her arm around Lin Bai's shoulders and smiled, "Let's go. I'll still treat you tonight. I'll bring you guys to the worry lake to have some fun!"
