Human dimension reduction

When Wan Mingchang saw the young man in front of him, he just glanced at him and then stopped talking to him, and the rebellious energy in his heart came up again.

Wan Mingchang grew up surrounded by stars, and as the eldest grandson of the Wan family, he is the best candidate to inherit the family business of the Wan family in the future. No matter where he goes, he is coaxed and praised. I know that these people are interested in the wealth of the Wan family behind him, but he has been smart since he was a child, and he has studied abroad. He is a real high-achieving student, and there is nothing wrong with being praised.

In short, he had never seen anyone who could ignore himself so completely.

He is not happy.

But Wan Changming is not a child after all, he knows that there is no reason in this world that everyone has to revolve around himself, so it is not happy to be unhappy, and he is not stupid enough to complain, but there is a faint displeasure on his face.

And the girl who was led by him suddenly moved, walked to Wan Changming, looked at Lan Yin from a distance, and genuine envy and excitement appeared on his face: "You are... Lan Yin?"

After Lan Yin became famous, most of the people around him just called him Mr. Lan, which is a respectful title for the morticians who deal with the dead, so the name Lan Yin is rarely heard, but the name was originally used to call him Lan Yin or Lan Yin. It doesn't matter to him, son.

When he heard someone calling him, he glanced at the other person, nodded, and expressed the meaning of "I am" with body language, without any desire to say hello.

Sang Susu was not shocked by his attitude at all, and his cheeks were flushed with joy: "My father often told me that Mr. Lan is very skilled. It would be great if I could be lucky enough to watch Mr. Lan perform it live. I didn't expect I can see Mr. Lan here..."

Lan Yin still lowered her eyes, indifferent to Sang Susu's enthusiasm, but felt that this girl was so annoying.

Wan Changming looked at Lan Yin and then at Sang Susu, and the feeling of discomfort in his heart came up again.

He and the seventh brother born to that little mother are not too young, and they don't have much contact with each other. At most, they know that face. Therefore, when the servant reported that the seventh brother was gone and asked him to come back, he didn't feel sad. Affection.

In the past two years, several younger brothers have been lost one after another in the family. Although Wan Changming was puzzled, to be honest, he really didn't feel any grief. First of all, these younger brothers were all half-born sons of concubine, and he was still alive when they were born. Not only is he unfamiliar with Liuyang, but he can't even remember his name. Secondly, his father doesn't approve of him being too close to these younger brothers. Although he doesn't know why, Wan Changming doesn't bother to pursue it.

So when he heard that his seventh brother was gone, he was about to get into the car and go home when he saw Sang Susu next to him in a blink of an eye.

His father and grandfather were quite opposed to him marrying Sang Susu, saying that it was taboo for a girl’s family to be an embalmer. Is it the same as the clothing stylists of foreigners, but one studies the living and the other studies the dead.

Foreign countries also have the post of mortician, and the group of people who groom the dead are quite respectable. Even the nobles will treat the mortician politely, and there is no taboo.

Why can't Chinese people accept the mortician?

Su Su's character is resolute and courageous, standing up as a woman, she should be encouraged a lot, how could she be criticized like that by her father and grandfather!

If... if Su Su can make a name for himself...

Thinking of this, Wan Changming slowed down when he got into the car.

He suddenly remembered that the newly departed seventh brother seemed to please his father very much. If Su Su could go and make up the seventh brother and show off some skills, his father would remember the appearance of the seventh brother in the past, and then see the appearance of the seventh brother when he left. The peaceful and cheerful appearance may make his father feel a little more at ease, and let him see Su Su's ability and sincerity...

Thinking of this, Wan Changming immediately made a decision, and regardless of the objections of the servants, he insisted on bringing Sang Susu into the car.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the door of the house, the servant who greeted them said that the mortician hired by the family had already arrived, and depending on the time, the work might be almost finished.

Wan Changming hesitated for a while, but he gritted his teeth and came over. If that person did not do well, let Sangsu take the top spot. If that person did well...

Wan Changming didn't think about what to do in this situation for the time being, in short, let people go away first.

But he didn't even think about it, Sang Susu's eyes lit up when he saw this person, and he looked up to him as an idol because of his tone of voice? !

Hell, admiration and admiration are only one word away!

Wan Changming was not happy.

Wan Changming was about to get angry.

At this moment, Sang Susu suddenly turned his face and looked at him, with a bright smile: "Changming Changming! This is the Mr. Lan I mentioned to you!"

Wan Changming couldn't bear to touch her face, so he responded vaguely. In fact, he didn't remember the names she said at all. Besides.

"Mr. Lan, are you finished? Can I go in and have a look?" Sang Susu asked cautiously after hesitating for a while after chirping.

Wan Changming frowned: "If you want to go in, go in, this is the Wan family, so why does it matter if he agrees or disagrees?"

What he said was blunt, and Sang Susu looked at Lan Yin apologetically, and stretched out his hand to tug on Wan Changming's sleeve.

This delicate action dispelled the sour taste in Wan Changming's chest, so he curled his lips and stopped talking.

"orchid?"

Laughing voices sounded in the yard, and they looked back, just in time to see the handsome young man standing by the door with his cane on the steps.

The long silver-gray hair, deep outline and cornflower-colored eyes all showed his identity as a foreigner. Wan Changming paused, and glanced around this man, faintly startled.

He has stayed abroad for several years, and he thinks he has seen the world. He was once invited to a classmate's birthday party. It's fashionable for many foreigners.

How should I put it... The young man in front of me is very similar to someone from his classmate's circle, and he seems to be inexplicable.

"Lorraine? I've already asked them to make a meal." Lan Yin skipped the introduction of the two people around him, and he didn't even have the string of introducing others in his mind, especially the two people came out of nowhere. In his opinion Coming is not at all as important as urging Vincent to have dinner.

So he explained the important things, and he didn't take Wan Changming and Sang Susu to heart.

Wan Changming looked at Vincent cautiously, and changed his tone: "Excuse me?"

"Vincent Lorraine, I heard that your young master has passed away. Please take the liberty to visit me. Please express my condolences." The silver-haired young man touched the ground with his cane and walked down slowly, with a gentle and polite smile on his face.

"Lorraine..." Wan Changming chewed the surname over and over several times, feeling vaguely familiar, but couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

Lorraine...why does it look like a place name...wait!He remembered!

Wan Changming's expression twitched twice, as if in disbelief: "Uh...the Duchy of Lorraine...have you ever been to this place?"

The foreign youth laughed in surprise: "Have you heard of this place too? It is my father's fief, and I grew up there."

He spoke lightly, but Wan Changming's breath suddenly became heavy, and a surge of hot blood rushed to his head.

His father's fief!That is the Duke of Lorraine!

Although he is a duke, this kind of principality is independent and self-governing, no different from a king!In particular, the Principality of Lorraine is still powerful and has inherited a feudal country for hundreds of years...

Is this person one of the heirs of the Principality of Lorraine?If you can make friends with him...

Wan Changming couldn't help but took a step forward: "Your Excellency Lorraine, my name is Wan Changming, and you can also call me Charles. Do you want to settle down or play in Shanghai? My family is in Shanghai. If you don't mind , as the host, I can be responsible for your basic necessities of life during your stay in Shanghai..."

Wan Changming had a handsome face. He was not like most of the hard-working people with hunched waists, nor was he thin and wretched like most wealthy men who were addicted to opium. When introducing himself politely, he has a gentle and refined gentleman's style.

Lan Yin on the side frowned unconsciously, twisted her sharp facial features, and hid her empty fingers in her sleeves, twisting them nervously, as if she couldn't bear the emptiness in her hands.

With the identity of Vincent Lorraine, even Lan Yin received unprecedented warm hospitality. It's not that Wan Jia neglected Lan Yin so much before, but the meticulous and thoughtful care and awe-inspiring service everywhere are different.

Qiao Zhou declined his invitation to have a banquet in the main hall, insisting that he was only a guest accompanying Lan Yin, and that he could not stir up crowds like this, but Wan Changming still insisted on having dinner with Qiao Zhou and Lan Yin, and behind them was the corpse of the seventh young master. screen.

Wan Changming's face turned blue after eating this meal, and the food was very delicious. After all, Wanjia kitchen also hired a western food chef to serve, but which normal person can eat happily when there is a corpse in the room?

No... It seems that among the four people present, the three other than him thought there was nothing awkward about it.

Leaving Su Su and that Lan Yin as morticians aside, why can Lord Lorraine, who was born in a noble family, be so... eclectic? !

Wan Changming □□ smiled and sat with rice until the end. He originally wanted to stay and accompany the mortician to watch the night and deliver the soul, but Lan Yin refused politely. This time Wan Changming did not argue with Lan Yin, he hesitated He left after a while, but Sang Susu stayed behind on the grounds that he was also an undertaker and wished to send the Seventh Young Master off.

This time Lan Yin just glanced at her and didn't say anything.

Good and bad are contrasted.

It may be the sequelae of mutilated limbs. The mad doctor was extremely afraid of the cold. The coffin was placed in the open main room, and two braziers were lit in front of it. He counted the seconds with his hands, then lowered his head to make paper ingots.

Sang Susu looked around, and consciously squatted next to another brazier, and began to make ingots.

But as she was doing it, she couldn't help glancing at her side.

"That..." She finally couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lorraine... Don't you take off your gloves while warming up? What if you get caught by the fire..."

Lan Yin raised his eyelids and pricked up his ears.

The doctor turned his hands over, letting the heat of the flames warm his icy skin, and he laughed after a while: "Ah, well, I have some ugly little scars on my hands, it's better not to let the ladies see them."

Sang Susu keenly sensed that this topic might not be very suitable, so she quickly shut up and turned to take a peek at her idol.

Her idol's hands are flawless, and the silver paper flutters in his hands like butterfly wings. In an instant, a round and plump ingot is folded. The thin and thin bamboo strips are bent and twisted, forming a skeleton in twos and threes. , Colored paper and white silk trickled down from his hands like flowing water and clouds, turning into precious trees and flower carts. Sang Susu's pupils dilated and he was so excited that he couldn't bear it.

Is this, is this the skill of the most powerful undertaker in Shanghai?

Tie paper ingots are the basic skills of the morticians, but from the basic skills, we can see the skills of the morticians.

Sang Susu was fascinated by watching, and unknowingly stopped what he was doing, and focused on Lan Yin's movements.

Seeing a speeding movement, Sang Susu was startled, opened his mouth to scream, and subconsciously wanted to ask how it was done, and when he raised his face, he saw the pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes clearly.

The person who turned out the flowers in his hand had his eyes empty, with a serious expression, and glanced at the hand that was still moving slowly on the brazier from time to time. All by instinct.

Instinct... Is this actually instinct?

Sang Susu's heart seemed to be stabbed, and suddenly lost the interest in watching with great interest just now, he lowered his head sullenly and started to do it himself.

The sight that fell on his hands was not concealed at all, of course Qiao Zhou would not fail to notice, but he was really too lazy to deal with Lan Yin, and it just so happened that Lan Yin was not the one who would take the initiative to ask questions, so he just pretended not to know and let him hold back .

Qiao Zhou was a little surprised that Wan Changming actually knew about the Principality of Lorraine.

In the second creation of many film and television dramas and novels, they will borrow real countries and historical backgrounds. "The Third Building" also borrows a lot of historical events. According to Vincent's background setting, maybe his life experience is true. Born out of the reality of the Principality of Lorraine.

But unexpectedly, Wan Changming also knew about the Principality of Lorraine... Is the Principality of Lorraine also borrowed in "The Strange Events of the Magic City"?

For a supernatural romance novel of the Republic of China, the setting of this world view is quite perfect, which also means that he has to be more careful in the future. Blinded by his few words, if he really meets someone who has seen the righteous master in the future...wouldn't it be revealed on the spot?

Qiao Zhou had a deep self-reflection, and even smiled at Lan Yin in his spare time, which made Lan Yin even more entangled.

Three people with different thoughts in one room can be considered harmonious for a while.
