"Miss Wang, Mr. Su, Miss Dong, please come in quickly." Seeing Wang Siya come in, several middle-aged men and women hurried forward to greet them. They were the children of the old man who contracted the land. They seemed to know Wang Siya's identity and were very polite. .
"Miss Wang, Miss Dong, Mr. Su, nice to meet you." Others who came to participate in the bidding meeting were also quite polite. Business is business, no matter whether you can grab it or not, you can't offend the Wang family in the capital. Some of them are already thinking about whether to resell it to the Wang family as a favor if they can get the land. They don't mind working in vain, as long as Wang Yan is really willing to accept the favor. Of course, there are some who really want to seize this land. After all, even if the Wang family in the capital is rich and powerful, they cannot bully the market just for such a thing.
"Miss Wang, welcome." Even the white-haired old man sitting drinking tea was quite polite. He was the contractor of this land - Lu Xueliang. Seeing his attitude towards Wang Siya, everyone was surprised. You know, Wang Siya may have already taken advantage of it.
"Don't be polite, please take a seat." Lu Xueliang's sons and daughters greeted, pouring tea for everyone and showing hospitality to the guests. They have different ideas from Lu Xueliang. They want to transfer this land quickly so that they don’t have to worry about it. Lu Xueliang can also follow them to live in the city with peace of mind. The old man is old. They don't feel comfortable living here alone, but they don't want to live here with them either.
"Mr. Lu, I heard that you like to collect walnuts for fun?" a thin middle-aged man said. In the many competitions present, their ears pricked up. In addition to liking Go, Lu Xueliang also likes to collect literature and play walnuts. This is not a secret, they all know it.
"That's right." Lu Xueliang nodded.
"I wonder what type the old man likes, tiger head, lion head, official hat, chicken heart?" The thin middle-aged man smiled.
"Haha, I collect all kinds of things. I like all kinds of things." Lu Xueliang suddenly smiled when he talked about his interests.
"Some time ago, I happened to get an official hat. I don't know how to appreciate it, so I gave it to the old man. See if you like it." The thin middle-aged man said, took out a box and handed it to Lu Xueliang.
"Oh?" Lu Xueliang was not polite and opened the box directly. Inside the box was a walnut. Stable and solemn, the protrusions are in the shape of a network of points, the two edges are wide and straight, and the tips are blunt and rounded. The shape is beautiful, much like the hats worn by officials of the Qing Dynasty. It is worth mentioning that this kind of walnut was particularly sought after by the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. There was a saying that "with an official hat in hand, you can have whatever you want." It is precisely because of this connotation that it became even more popular.
"Not bad." Lu Xueliang nodded appreciatively. He obviously liked it. The thin middle-aged man felt proud that this gift was indeed the right choice.
"Mr. Lu, I just happened to have prepared a Wenwan walnut. See if you like it." At this moment, the long-faced young man sitting next to Wang Yan spoke and handed a box to Lu Xueliang. Before that, he looked at Su Jing with hostile eyes for a long time.
Lu Xueliang was still not polite. He took the box and opened it. Inside was a large walnut. It had a stable appearance, a convex belly, a flat bottom, thick edges, blunt tips, and a large concave bottom. Viewed from the side, it resembles the shape of a horseshoe.
Seeing this walnut, Lu Xueliang's eyes suddenly lit up and a ray of light shot out. The faces of the thin middle-aged man and other competitors changed slightly. Anyone who knows anything knows that this walnut is an authentic horseshoe lion head. Although this is not the rarest type of lion head, it is too big.
As one of the four famous walnuts, Lion Head Walnut is a rare series of Wenwan walnuts. It is named after the "lion head" because when it is turned upside down, its shape is very similar to the mane of the stone lion in front of the old Yamen.
Lion head walnuts have a long history and were enthusiastically sought after by princes and nobles in ancient times. Now they are a very common category in cultural toys. In history, a literati described the lion's head like this: "gentle and gentle like a gentleman, honest and honest like a wise man, short and short like a dwarf, and free from dust and dirt".
There are also many varieties of lion heads, and the horseshoe lion head is one of them. Generally, if the side width exceeds 4 cm, it is more worthy of collection. If the side width reaches 4.5 cm, it is very rare. The one in front of you is estimated to be 4.5 cm. .
"Old man, what do you think?" The long-faced young man caught Lu Xueliang's eyes, with a trace of pride on his face.
"Haha, that's very good. Young man, you are very thoughtful." Lu Xueliang did not hide his affection at all, but the thin middle-aged man was a little depressed. At this time, the official title he was sent out was compared with that of others. The other competitors were also depressed. , some of them have also prepared walnuts, but they are far inferior to this lion head, and they can't get rid of them now.
"Yan'er, I told you that Mr. Lu would like it, right?" The long-faced young man whispered proudly to Wang Yan next to him, but Wang Yan didn't hear it. His face was calm and he drank tea slowly. The reaction made the long-faced young man feel very unfulfilled.
The long-faced young man still had a smile on his face, thinking: "Wang Yan came to meet me just to deal with her parents, but she didn't even look at me. She probably thought I was a lazy and incompetent rich second generation. However, if I She should be impressed by the fact that she can compete with Su Jing. This piece of land is really good and worth taking. While defeating the opponent, you can also develop the industry, so why not?"
What the long-faced young man didn't know was that his eyes happened to fall into Wang Yan's eyes. Wang Yan had already guessed that meeting Su Jing here this time was probably not a coincidence, but the long-faced young man did it intentionally. This made her A hint of disgust arose in my heart.
This time, her family did not force her to marry someone else. Although the blind date was arranged by her parents, there was no force on whether it would happen or not. Wang Yan went on a blind date with a normal attitude to see if the long-faced young man was worth dating. From many aspects, the long-faced young man was quite good, but he didn't have the feeling of love at first sight, so she planned to observe slowly and behave relatively indifferently. She didn't expect that the long-faced young man would arrange such an encounter with Su Jing, which made her quite disappointed.
However, she didn't say anything, perhaps because she wanted to see if this long-faced young man could compete with Su Jing. For some reason, she really wanted to see Su Jing deflated, even just once.
"Ah Jing, have you prepared walnuts? I prepared a walnut, but it's not as good as others." Dong Xun whispered.
"No." Su Jing shook her head.
"How could you not be prepared? I place all my hopes on you." Dong Xun said with a smile.
"You didn't say he likes walnuts. Besides, I don't know anything about walnuts. How can I get anything to play with walnuts?" Su Jing smiled and shook her head, but as soon as she finished speaking, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind, "Wait, that's not right. I have walnuts."
"Really?" Dong Xun and Wang Siya's eyes lit up.
"Wait a minute, I'll get it from the car." Su Jing ran to the car. In fact, it was just a show. The walnuts were in the storage bag. When she came back, she had a big walnut in her hand. Dong Xun and Wang Siya Their first thought was whether they could package it in a box like other people do. But after seeing the walnuts clearly, their eyes lit up, and Lu Xueliang suddenly stood up.
