307 Pulling people into the water

The layout of the Lafite family's furnishings is no different from that of other aristocratic homes, but in terms of decoration, Chen Xiansong found that this family likes silver jewelry very much.Table corners, chair corners, any kind of furniture with corners, were covered with ornate silver ornaments.Seeing Chen Xiansong looking at the decorations in his home, Lafite said proudly: "Your Excellency, it's not bad. I specially bought these furniture from Wangcheng's home master, Master Buji, and the cost is not small."

"It's really good." Chen Xiansong smiled.From the perspective of a human being in the 23rd century, this kind of decoration actually has a 'classic' atmosphere, but at the same time it is full of nouveau riche.He looked around again and said, "It would be better if there were more ink paintings and calligraphy from the Kingdom of Cathay."

Lafite memorized these words very carefully.Chen Xiansong is recognized as a genius soul thinker, and he is also a very powerful artist himself.Old Udyr once got a portrait of him, and everyone thought Duan was very charming. His suggestion was definitely not without reason.

The two sat down, the servants served the food and wine, and went down again. They knew that the two big men had important matters to discuss.Annie wanted to leave at first, but Chen Xiansong said suddenly: "Forget it, Annie, you stay here and listen. It's okay."

Upon hearing this, Annie was overjoyed, her mood was that the cloudy sky suddenly turned into a sunny midsummer with the fragrance of flowers and plants.

Lafite has no objection to this.A servant of the sun god, a member of the dragon clan, his status is higher than himself, so he is not qualified to drive people away.In this world, everything is based on status and strength. The Lalong family is indeed a prestigious family in Black Rock City, but if it is placed in the whole country or the world, they are just ordinary little nobles.

But all nobles.As long as there is an opportunity, he will always want to climb up and bring his family to the top step by step.There are countless people who have gone down this road, but there are very few people who can really do it. Many people have fallen in the middle, but they have never given the latecomers the idea of ​​retreating. The power of ** can be seen through by extraordinary people.

Naturally, the Lalong family was no exception, and Lafite had already roughly guessed the reason for Chen Xiansong's visit.But he didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear that the opportunity would be lost by him.So he had no choice but to try his best to speak some polite words, try to stir up the atmosphere, and try to get Chen Xiansong to take the initiative to say what he came for.

As a qualified nobleman, Lafite has a good study on how to talk to superiors.In fact, Chen Xiansong listened to him.Also really feel comfortable.The level is much higher than that of ordinary nobles.And you still can't hear any special meaning from his words, but your attention will be attracted by him.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Xiansong felt that the time was almost up, so he said, "Your Excellency Lafite, there is something I want to discuss with you."

finally come!Lafite was overjoyed, but his face was very calm.He just said a lot of slobber.Seeing that he was about to run out of words, he finally waited until the other party spoke.He subconsciously tapped twice on the table with his fingers, and said: "Oh, please feel free to tell me if you have anything to do. As long as our Lalong family can do it, we will definitely do it for you without saying a word, and there will be no delay in time."

There are two things that are most unreliable in this world, the sweet talk of a man, and the promise of a nobleman, and Lafite occupies both of these.Naturally, Chen Xiansong would not take his words seriously, he just believed them halfway, and then said: "It's not a big deal, but I heard from Ze Longer that his elder brother Bill plans to do some charcoal business with your family. And you gave him the best price?"

"Indeed." Lafite desperately recalled the knowledge he had learned from the 'genealogy' over the years, trying to match the examples in the book, to see if there was an example similar to the current situation.At the same time, he said: "Your Excellency Bill and I are very good friends. Friendship is comparable to the purest gold, and it will never fade because of time and distance. Since he wants to do business with me, I naturally want to give him the best discount." .”

Seeing Lafite's familiar appearance with Bill, Chen Xiansong felt a little funny in his heart.Before coming, he had asked Zelonger about the situation, and combined with the information from the association, he probably knew what was going on.Bill is a person with a good face but no ability. He usually likes to brag among the nobles of his age.

Lafite and Bill got very close, but he wanted to establish a relationship with the Santo's Mansion through Bill. However, the old Santo and Zelonger were always busy and rarely had contact with young nobles. After a long time, Lafite found out about Bill. His position in the city lord's mansion gradually began to alienate him, but unexpectedly, the night before yesterday, Bill actually came to the door, saying that he had a business to discuss.

Lafite didn't pay much attention to it at first, and just received Bill according to the etiquette. He didn't expect to find out that it was indeed a big business, but a very 'weird' big business.

"In addition to doing business with you, Bill, what else have you talked to?" Chen Xiansong asked.

Lafite shook his head, and said: "Aside from business, there is no other important thing... Oh, yes, His Excellency Bill mentioned a small matter, he said that he wanted to go outside to get some exorcism stones back recently, please help me He made a piece of equipment. He said that since you gave one to Your Excellency Zelonger, you will naturally give him one as well."

"That's it?" Chen Xiansong smiled strangely.

"What else do you think is wrong?" Lafite had a very strange expression.

At this moment, Bai Min walked up to Chen Xiansong and whispered, "Xiao Song, he's lying."

Although Bai Min's voice was low, there was no one in the hall now, and Lafite heard it, and his expression suddenly became a little ugly.It is a very rude thing to expose a nobleman's lies publicly.After a few seconds of silence, Lafite laughed dryly and said, "Ms. Bai, you really like to joke."

"Xiao Min can see through whether ordinary people are lying." Chen Xiansong leaned back on the chair and said, "Besides, Xiao Min doesn't like to joke, although I really hope she can understand humor like ordinary people. She knows how to lose her temper, but she has never had one before. Your Excellency Lafite, Xiao Min said, you have hidden something, so you must have hidden something, can you tell me about it?"

There was an air of embarrassment in the air.Lafite glanced at Bai Min helplessly. If it was an ordinary noble woman, he would have been angry a long time ago, but facing Bai Min's beauty, he couldn't get angry. Besides, he didn't dare to get angry. Servant of the Sun God , soul thinker, plus dragon clan... With such a lineup, who would dare to turn their backs casually, don't they want to survive?

Lafite was quickly calculating the safety, gains and losses in his head... After a moment of silence, he sat upright beside him and said, "Okay, since your Excellency asked, I will tell you what I know. Your Excellency Bill did indeed He came to discuss business with me. After the business was concluded, we drank some wine, and then he got drunk and revealed some very important news. I wanted to rot this news in my stomach, but your Excellency asked me. Just say it."

"What news?" Chen Xiansong took a sip of fruit wine.

"He said..." Lafite looked nervously at Chen Xiansong, then at Bai Min, who could see through people's hearts, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "When your Excellency Bill was drunk, he said in a daze, you seem to be planning to To create a very powerful weapon, a weapon that can change the situation in the region, requires a lot of charcoal and some other materials, and he also told me the names of those materials."

Chen Xiansong sighed, Bill was probably drunk by Lafite trying to find a way, and then he got all the words out.For such an important matter, even a person like Bill should know the importance and proportion, and he should not talk nonsense. There is no other reason than being drunk.

"Now that you know, what do you think?" Chen Xiansong asked.

"I don't have any ideas." Lafite stood up directly, and hastily expressed his opinion: "Your Excellency, our Lalong family is just a small family, and we are very satisfied if we can do business and make money. We don't dare to think about anything else. Please rest assured."

"Really have no idea?" Chen Xiansong looked at the other party with a half-smile.

Looking at Chen Xiansong's expression, Lafite knew that now was a very critical moment. According to his answer, the family might suffer great misfortune, it might be safe and sound, and it might also get great benefits.He swallowed, thinking that it would be great if his father was here, and he could make a decision.He is still too young to take on such a big responsibility, especially this responsibility is related to the future of the family.

Seeing that the other party was nervous and speechless, Chen Xiansong was a little strange, thinking why this person was so unintimidated.In fact, Lafite is already very good, and it might not be possible for other people to do better.Chen Xiansong himself is a deep thinker of the soul, and he is accompanied by the legendary servant of the sun and the dragon clan. Adding up the three, even if members of the royal family see him, they have to weigh whether their status is qualified enough to talk to Chen Xiansong, Not to mention Lafite who was born in a small noble family.

Seeing that the other party seemed unable to make a decision, Chen Xiansong said, "Actually, it's okay to have some ideas, as long as your ideas are good or not."

When Lafite heard the first half of Chen Xiansong's sentence, he was almost frightened out of his wits.Because the aristocrats have a habit, in order to show elegance, before dealing with a person, they will always say something like, other xxx like you is fine, I am not angry... and then turn around, making the other person's life worse than death.

At that moment, Lafite thought that Chen Xiansong was going to deal with his family. After hearing the second half of the sentence, the panic all over his body dissipated, and he sat back on the chair limply: "Your Excellency, you It almost killed me... Let me tell you now, I have an idea, and I want to cooperate with you to manage that kind of weapon. I am willing to pay enough money in exchange for a certain share of the number of weapons. We can slowly Tell me, what do you think?"

Although there are different opinions, Lafite intends to 'take a share'. (to be continued..)
