Happy Shennong

Chapter 66
Zhong Ling couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she moved closer to Linley, said softly with her mouth pursed, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. If you want to leave now, I won't blame you..."

Linley smiled and said, "I'm not the right person. I was found by you, and this time I'm here for your father. As long as you two didn't drive me away, then I'm fulfilling my promise Before, I wouldn't go."

"I... I don't even know how to say it. The more magnanimous you are, the more guilty I feel. "

As the recommender, Zhong Ling was really awkward to be caught in the middle.She really didn't expect this situation.

Of course, she had expected Zhong Chuan and Gao Hongxia's attack on Linley.What she didn't expect was that her father, who was usually very kind and understanding, actually kept silent at this moment.

It stands to reason that the old man should have come forward to rescue him long ago. What happened today?
Zhong Ling couldn't figure it out, and after looking at Zhong Wanlong aggrievedly, he said to Linley, "Stop standing, please sit down, and I'll pour you tea."

"and many more!"

Zhong Chuan looked Linley up and down, and said with vacant eyes, "You bumpkin, it's our kindness if we don't kick you out. But you can't be too casual, don't say, you came here empty-handed..."

As soon as this remark came out, the scene once again fell into an embarrassing situation.

In fact, Linley should be here at the invitation of Zhong Ling, so there is no need to bring gifts.It's a pity that Feng Wenchuan broke the headband, and the people present couldn't help but associate and compare.Since everyone has brought them, then Linley should also express something, right?
What they brought was the precious Dendrobium officinale, what should Linley bring?

However, even if Linley didn't bring it, as long as no one brought it up, it wouldn't be embarrassing.After all, things like gifts are completely voluntary.Moreover, it is extremely impolite to ask a guest for a gift.Even a snobbish person like Gao Hongxia didn't say anything out of face.

The reason why Zhong Chuan opened his mouth was to embarrass Linley.

But as for Linley, his eyes were not red and his heart was not jumping. He turned his head to look at Zhong Wanlong, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Zhong, this junior came here today, and I really brought a gift. But... it's not time to take it out yet. when."

Zhong Wanlong nodded lightly with a half-smile, but still had no intention of opening his mouth.

The head of the family did not speak, Zhong Chuan regarded himself as the spokesperson of the family, and said coldly to Linley: "If you don't bring it, you don't bring it. What are you talking about? Having said that, it is very suitable for you if you don't understand etiquette. Country bumpkin identity."

"Brother, that's enough!" Zhong Ling roared with a sullen face, "Mr. Lin was invited by me, and there was no need to bring a gift, but you said he didn't know how to be polite. Then you ask the guests for gifts, Do you understand etiquette?"

"Ling'er, I don't care about this matter for now. It's fine if the person you brought didn't bring a gift, but you didn't bring it either?"

"Hmph!" Zhong Ling snorted coldly, and waved towards the door.Da Fei understood, and respectfully brought over a pot of Clivia and handed it to her.

Upon seeing this, Linley laughed.Because this pot of Clivia was saved and sold by him.

Zhong Ling changed hands and put Clivia on the tea table, and said to her father: "Dad, I know you like upside-down bonsai. But the ones you bought are all big, and it's too troublesome to take care of them. As your health gets worse , so many bonsai will be abandoned. So, I bought you a small pot, which can be placed on the desk without taking care of it, just water it whenever you think of it, I hope you like it.”

"Well, yes, I like it very much." Zhong Wanlong finally spoke, but his words were quite concise.

Zhong Chuan approached Clivia, took a closer look, and exaggerated on purpose: "Wow, it's really beautiful. I didn't expect Linger to be so hardworking. You must have visited a lot of street stalls before you bought it, right?"

"What's wrong with the stalls? Just like people, some noble people are not as respectable as country people. It's the same with bonsai, and you can find good things on the stalls."

Zhong Chuan curled his lips, waved to the door, and said to Zhong Wanlong: "Dad, I brought it here, and it is also a bonsai. Didn't you buy a pot of real cypress before? I can see that you like it very much." , It’s a pity that it got old later. Just in the past two days, I found a pot of really brilliant cypress, so I bought it for you.”

After speaking, two big men came in carrying a pot of real cypress bonsai.

When Linley saw it, his eyes straightened.

Because that real cypress was saved by him and auctioned off.I didn't expect to see you again so soon.

What's more, by accident, the presents given to Zhong Wanlong by the Zhong brothers and sisters all came from him!
There is such a coincidence in the world, and I am really drunk.

When seeing Zhenbai, Zhong Ling was also surprised.However, she didn't point it out.They just exchanged glances with Linley, and then showed helpless expressions at the same time.

Zhong Wanlong's eyes swept across the faces of Linley and Zhong Ling, and then turned to Zhenbai.

Feng Wenchuan helped his eyes, leaned over to walk around the real cypress, and sighed: "Although I don't know much about bonsai, this real cypress is definitely the most beautiful pot of real cypress I have ever seen! Young Master Zhong, you have a very unique vision!"

"That's not right, I found it after searching around for quite a while."

"Excuse me, but I dare to ask, what is the current domestic price of such a bonsai?"

"20, not a lot. I begged the original owner for several days before they agreed to sell it to me." Zhong Chuan was very proud, and continued to say to Zhong Wanlong, "Dad, maybe in your opinion, this pot The shape and age of the real cypress are not top-notch. However, its vitality and growth are definitely a major feature. The reason why I am determined to take it down is mainly because I hope it can bring you good luck .I sincerely hope and sincerely wish that your body will be full of vitality like this real cypress tree, and will always maintain infinite vitality."

So far, the lines prepared by Zhong Chuan and the "Excerpts from Crosstalk "Self-selling and Self-Boasting"" that had been rehearsed several times with Feng Wenchuan were finally finished.

Then he looked at Zhong Wanlong expectantly like an actor waiting for applause at the curtain call.

However, what he wanted was not applause, but Zhong Wanlong's affirmation and appreciation.

Although their performances are suspected of exaggeration.But this pot of real cypress is really good.

Not to mention anything else, Gao Hongxia, a layman, came close to him for a long time before saying to Zhong Wanlong: "Old Zhong, anyway, I think he is very master-like, and ordinary people may not be able to raise him so well, what do you think? "

For a moment, almost everyone turned their attention to Zhong Wanlong.Because among the people present, his attainments in bonsai are undoubtedly the highest.His evaluation is also the most authoritative.

As for Zhong Wanlong, maintaining a faint smile, he cast his eyes on Zhong Ling: "Ling'er, I see that you have been smiling and not saying a word, it seems that you have something to say?"

"This..." Zhong Ling thought for a while, then looked at Lin Lei with a smile, "Dad, let Mr. Lin think about it, it's the most suitable."

"Oh?"

Under a series of guidance, everyone's eyes turned in a big circle, and finally they all stopped on the unremarkable Linley.

Zhong Chuan just glanced at Lin Lei, and said disdainfully: "What does he know, a country bumpkin? If we don't say it, I'm afraid he won't even be able to call the name Zhenbai? Linger, don't be fooled, if you I also think that Zhenbai is good, so I will say it."

"Ahem..." Zhong Ling raised his hand and stroked the hair beside his ears, then smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, since everyone is curious, please tell me."

Linley nodded, rubbed his temples and said, "Master Zhong, I'm sorry, but I want to correct a few things for you first. First, you probably didn't buy this real cypress for 20 yuan. In my opinion, at most 16, right?"

"Huh?" Zhong Chuan's face darkened, and he stared immediately, "You want to talk nonsense about eyeballs again?"

Linley ignored Zhong Chuan, and continued to say nonchalantly, "Secondly, you have never seen the original owner of this real cypress, so it can't be said that you begged him for several days."

"Hiss... what are you trying to say?"

"Third, you got this pot of real cypress through an auction, not you discovered it yourself."

Although Zhong Chuan's heart fluctuated violently, he still had a domineering posture on the surface: "You bumpkin, you have already said three things. If there is no evidence, what's the point of saying more? You think we are all fools, even Don’t even have the ability to distinguish? No... Ling’er should be excluded. Because she really has no ability to distinguish, especially when it comes to judging people.”

"Hehe." Linley smiled slightly, "Young Master Zhong, are you talking about the proof? Okay, I'll give you the proof. You just said that you begged the original owner for several days, but... I don't remember you ever begged me. In addition, Fuguichun only gave me 16 yuan, did they embezzle [-] yuan?"

"What did you say? You...you..."

Zhong Chuan's astonished eyeballs were about to fall out, and he spoke incoherently, unable to speak clearly.

Zhong Ling shrugged and said: "What Mr. Lin wants to express is actually very simple. In fact, he sent this pot of real cypress to Fuguichun for auction. By the way, I was there at the time."

"Impossible!" Zhong Chuanji's eyes were red, and he said through gritted teeth, "How can he cultivate such a good real cypress as a country bumpkin?"

Linley shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed to say, I bought that pot of real cypresses for [-] a week ago. So to be precise, I really didn't plant them."

"What did you say? Twelve thousand?" Zhong Chuan was about to collapse.

Linley casually took out a few bills from his pocket, and spread them out one by one: "Here are the bills I bought and auctioned for Zhenbai. As for the price of [-], I have to thank Linger, who cut it down for me. Originally, the seller asked for [-] yuan, which is too cruel..."

"Gu..."

Zhong Chuan was immediately stunned, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but still felt his cheeks were hot and his mouth was dry.After being repeatedly slapped in the face by Linley, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in...

Just now, he was expecting his father to praise him a few words, but now, he didn't even have the courage to look at his father.
