Luo Xin closed his eyes, silently thinking about the possibility of cooperation and various conditions, for half an hour, when Luo Xin opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of wisdom.

Xu Jie, dressed in civilian clothes, but very clean and tidy, his hair was meticulously arranged, he walked down the steps of the gate and walked towards an old man standing opposite, although the old man had a dusty face, he was also meticulous, with a warm smile on his face.

"Brother Wang, long time no see."

"Brother Xian, long time no see."

Wang Ji slowly greeted him, followed by two young men, stepped forward to meet Xu Jie, Xu Jie smiled and reluctantly said a few words, and Wang Ji walked arm in hand, the backs of the two people disappeared into the gate, and the gate of Xu's mansion slowly closed.

Kunming Lake.

The spring breeze was gentle, sparkling, Luo Xin was dressed in civilian clothes, took Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan on this small boat, and sailed towards the center of the lake. The lotus flowers on the lake are gently swaying in the spring breeze, and during the wandering of more than a dozen painting boats, the sound of silk and bamboo comes out from the painting boats, and there is occasionally the sound of singing.

The boat Luo Xin was riding broke through the layers of lotus leaves and sailed towards a painting boat in the middle of the lake. When I got on the painting boat, I saw four people standing on the deck, Xu Jie and an old man standing in the middle, and Zhang Juzheng and He Xinyin standing on the left and right. Luo Xin's eyes flashed, and then fell on the old man's body, and he bowed his hand and said:

"I haven't seen Wang Lao."

Luo Xin did not claim to be a latecomer, if he was only based on his official position and title, as long as he was a literati, in front of Wang Ji, he could only call himself a latecomer, and with Wang Ji's status as a Confucian master, with Luo Xin's age, he could only call himself a latecomer.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, except for a limited number of people such as Xu Jie and Gao Gong, no matter how high the official position is, seeing Wang Ji can only be called the last to learn. And Xu Jie and Gao Gong can argue with Wang Ji's peers, not because of their high official positions, but because of their two knowledge, they are also a generation of grandmasters.

However, Luo Xin did not claim to be the last to learn at this time, because Luo Xin was also a generation of grandmasters, and he also wrote books and biographies, and had a great influence on the entire Shilin, and was recognized by Shilin.

In fact, in the entire Da Ming Shilin, the recognition of Luo Xin is not lower than that of Wang Ji, and a "Confucius and Mencius Combination" conquered the Da Ming Shilin. Therefore, although Luo Xin is young, he can't be arrogant, especially at this moment of negotiation, he can't lose momentum.

Wang Ji's eyes flickered, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he even replied:

"I have heard Mr. Luo's name for a long time, and I have been friends for a long time, and I am very happy to see it today. Mr. Luo, please. ”

"Elder Wang, please!"

Xu Jie looked at Luo Xin and Wang Ji talking and laughing, neither humble nor arrogant, and his heart was very complicated. How long has it been? How old is he? is only twenty-four years old, but he has already had an equal dialogue with the world-famous Wang Ji.

And what about yourself?

But it's already yesterday's yellow flower.

Luo Xin's gaze turned to Xu Jie, and said with a smile on his face: "I've seen Lord Xu." ”

Xu Jie's face also showed a warm smile and said, "This is not in the court, so there is no need to call the old man an adult." ”

Luo Xin pondered slightly, and then said, "I've seen Mr. Xu." ”

Xu Jie laughed and said, "Okay, we Shilin people are just like this. ”

Luo Xin turned to He Xinyin again and said, "There is Mr. Lao He." ”

He Xin smiled in return, but did not speak. Luo Xin finally turned his gaze to Zhang Juzheng and bowed his hand to salute:

"Brother Taiyue, you and I haven't been together for a long time."

Zhang Juzheng's mind immediately recalled the days when the two of them used to have a few drinks before, and said with some nostalgia in his tone:

"We can have a few drinks whenever we don't want to."

"Good!"

This exchange, the atmosphere between the five people is much more harmonious, into the painting boat, but there is no woman, I think Xu Jie rented this painting boat, the room has been set up a banquet, the five people sat down, politely after three rounds of wine, Wang Ji raised the wine glass and said:

"No, the old man knows that you have some grievances with Huating, today the old man wants to be a peacemaker, how about letting go of the previous grievances?"

Luo Xin looked at Wang Ji lightly and said, "Does Elder Wang know what grievances are between me and Mr. Xu?" ”

Wang Ji's expression was stiff, although he called Luo Xin Mr., giving people a posture of equal intersection with Luo Xin, but in his heart he still regarded Luo Xin as a junior. In his opinion, no matter what the grievance is, as long as it is not the revenge of killing his father and wife, Luo Xin will give him a face. As long as Luo Xin gave him this face, he had an advantage, and Luo Xin unknowingly fell into a weak position. However, he didn't expect that Luo Xin didn't give him any face, and since Luo Xin asked that sentence, it proved that Luo Xin would not reconcile with Xu Jie. Wang Ji was also a little angry in his heart, and his expression became a little cold when he heard this:

"The grievances between you, I think everyone in Shilin knows well, is nothing more than a political dispute, which has been the norm in all dynasties, and there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends in politics. If you don't have the hatred of killing your father and taking your wife, you don't have a grudge that can't be resolved. No, we still have to be open-minded, which is the basis of our cooperation. ”

Luo Xin's expression had completely cooled down and said: "Mr. Wang, if you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak, and you haven't figured out the truth, so you rashly opened your mouth, which is a little shallow." ”

As soon as Luo Xin spoke, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down. Luo Xin no longer calls Wang Ji Wang Lao, but Mr. Wang, which is a kind of alienation, and it is such a decisive alienation.

Not to mention......

Luo Xin said directly, Wang Ji is a little shallow, which is simply a humiliation.

Saying that a generation of grandmasters is shallow, isn't this humiliation?

Wang Ji's face immediately darkened, but He Xinyin sighed in his heart, he knew that Wang Ji was too big, and what he said was a bit of a matter of course. If Luo Xin was an ordinary Confucian and Taoist master, under Wang Ji's decades of hope and qi, maybe his mind would be a little flustered. In the next negotiations, it will be in a weak position.

But......

Is Luo Xin an ordinary Confucian and Taoist master?

Of course not!

Don't forget, Luo Xin is still a generation of military gods, what scene have you not seen? How could he be swayed by Wang Ji's words?

In particular, Wang Ji also taught Luo Xin to be open-minded, and warned Luo Xin in his words that this was the basis of cooperation. I'm afraid that Luo Xin's fiercer counterattack is still to come.

Zhang Juzheng's expression was awe-inspiring, Zhang Juzheng had not fully grown up at this time, and in the face of this situation, his heart became nervous.

"Presumptuous!" Xu Jie shouted in a low voice: "You actually say that Grandmaster Wang is shallow, do you still have the idea of respecting the elderly?" ”

Luo Xin glanced at Xu Jie sarcastically, then looked at Wang Ji coldly and said, "Mr. Wang said it well just now, as long as you don't have the hatred of killing your father and taking your wife, for the sake of Daming, you should open your mind." This is also the philosophy of Luoxin. ”
