Chapter 332 Copper plate test

Chapter 329 Copper plate test
The Lin Mansion has a special place for entertaining guests, but Lin Xiaoyao regards Bao Zheng as a brother and does not treat him as an outsider, so he entertains Bao Zheng in the side hall.

The servants of the Lin Mansion have been carefully selected and finally evaluated by Bai Fengyi before they can truly become members of the Lin Mansion. Moreover, the senior officials of the Lin Mansion treat their servants very kindly and their wages are high, so these servants They were all very enthusiastic and moved very quickly. In just one stick of incense, a table full of wine and food was placed.

The aroma of the wine is overflowing, and the dishes are beautiful. Just smelling it and looking at it, you will suddenly feel a big appetite and want to drink to your heart's content.

"My son-in-law, the dishes are already served." When Lin Xiaoyao was chatting with Bao Zheng, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He raised his head and saw Piaoxiang standing behind him at some point , holding a jug in his hand, obviously looking to serve the left and right.

"Piao Xiang, why are you here? Ximeng is also here?"

Lin Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.

Piaoxiang still gave Lin Xiaoyao a lot of face in front of outsiders, she bowed her body and said respectfully: "The princess is in the backyard, Your Highness asked servants to entertain distinguished guests on their behalf."

When Bao Zheng heard this, he stood up quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the Princess, is really disgruntled."

"Hey..." Lin Xiaoyao shook his head and said: "Brother Bao, today you and I are just brothers, not colleagues. It would be too far-fetched to say that. It is normal for brothers to drink and family members to entertain them. , It's nothing wrong, you can go back and help me thank Ximeng, and then go to rest."

"My son-in-law, the princess ordered the servant to serve the left and right, please forgive the servant for not obeying." Piaoxiang shook her head and said flatly.

"cough cough"

Lin Xiaoyao quickly coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment. What's wrong with the servants now, so they can't speak?If you don't leave, don't leave, then you won't say something good to fool me, don't you see that there are guests here?

"Well, I won't force you. If you are tired, just go and rest."

Lin Xiaoyao stopped gossiping with Piaoxiang, stood up, picked up the jug, filled Bao Zheng's and his own wine glasses, and said directly: "Brother Bao, we two brothers have known each other for a long time, but really I haven't spoken my heart and soul together yet, and it's really inappropriate to have a drink. Come on, brother, I'll toast Brother Bao first."

After saying that, Lin Xiaoyao drank the wine in the glass and felt the hot feeling from his throat into his stomach. The heat flowed along the blood throughout his body. That kind of warmth was really refreshing in the cold winter. Extremely.

Bao Zheng didn't hesitate when he saw this, he also raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Brother, you can drink so well!" Lin Xiaoyao praised, "I didn't expect Brother Bao to drink so well. I thought you scholars are not good at drinking."

"Brother Lin, you don't know something. In fact, I'm not a good drinker. It's just that I feel stuffy in my chest today and I want to vent it. Besides, I'm drinking with Brother Lin, with my bosom friend, and I don't drink a thousand cups!"

Bao Zheng is actually very straightforward, but because of the different times and different pursuits, he has to be cautious. He is usually cautious. .

"Brother Bao, I don't know what's bothering you, can you tell me something?" Lin Xiaoyao gave Piao Xiang a wink, Piao Xiang understood, picked up the jug, and helped Lin Xiaoyao and Bao Zheng fill up up the wine glass.

Bao Zheng and Lin Xiaoyao had another drink together, before he sighed and said, "Brother Lin, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I can't handle this matter clearly, and now my mind is completely muddled. You can’t tell what’s right and what’s wrong.”

Lin Xiaoyao nodded thoughtfully, and no longer insisted on asking, but as smart as him, how can he really not be able to guess anything.

"Brother Bao, do you know how to flip a coin?" Lin Xiaoyao said suddenly after eating two mouthfuls of food.

"Flip a coin? What's that?"

Bao Zheng also drank a few glasses of wine. Although the alcohol content in ancient times was not high, Bao Zheng was not good at drinking. After a few glasses, he was already a little dizzy.

Lin Xiaoyao took out a copper plate from his arms. He turned the coin over a few times so that Bao Zheng could see it clearly, and then he said: "This copper plate has two sides, which means it represents our two ideas, such as Said that positive means that I will drink this glass of wine, and negative that I will not drink this glass of wine, and then..."

Lin Xiaoyao immediately threw the copper plate into the air. The copper plate flipped over in the air countless times and finally landed on the table. Before everyone could see the front and back of the copper plate, Lin Xiaoyao covered the copper plate with his hand. No one can see clearly.

"Brother Bao, do you think this copper coin is head or tail?" Lin Xiaoyao smiled mysteriously at Bao Zheng and said meaningfully.

Bao Zheng pondered for a while, although he didn't know what Lin Xiaoyao meant, he still replied: "Brother Lin and I came here for a drink, so I naturally hoped to have a good drink with Brother Lin, so I guess the copper coin It's positive."

"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Xiaoyao smiled faintly, and immediately took his hands away. Even Piaoxiang couldn't help but wonder whether the copper plate was front or back.

"It turned out to be tails, I guessed wrong!" Bao Zheng couldn't help but shook his head and laughed when he saw that the copper plate showed tails.

But who would have thought that Lin Xiaoyao shook his head, only to see that he directly picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass.

"Brother Lin, what are you?" Bao Zheng was a little confused, so, didn't he say he wouldn't drink if he didn't?Piaoxiang also looked puzzled.

"Brother Bao, I did this experiment for you not to see whether the copper plate is headed up or tails up, but to tell you that when you toss the copper plate, you already have the answer in your heart." Now, whether this is head or tail is meaningless, isn't it?"

Lin Xiaoyao just clicked to the end and didn't say anything further. Bao Zheng was extremely intelligent, so he would naturally understand what Lin Xiaoyao said.

Sure enough, although Bao Zheng was a little dizzy from drinking, his mind was clearer than ever. He thought carefully about Lin Xiaoyao's words, his eyes were constantly shining, he looked at the copper plate on the table, and slowly sank into it. In deep thought.

When Lin Xiaoyao saw this, he didn't say anything to disturb him. He just asked Piao Xiang to pour him a glass of wine, and he ate the food and drank the wine by himself.

Piaoxiang is also a very smart woman. Not only is she highly skilled in martial arts, but also under the influence of Zhao Ximeng's side, she can think about many things far away, so she also knows that Lin Xiaoyao seems to have just done a trick, but in reality But those words had far-reaching effects...

This made her pay more attention to Lin Xiaoyao, who looked bohemian on the outside but was incomprehensible on the inside...
