Chapter 713: The Big Tree Attracts the Wind!
Three days later, Qin Yang officially visited the Cao family, the largest family in Lingnan. [.!
The Cao family is a very special existence in Lingnan. This wealthy family is everywhere in Lingnan, and its influence has reached its peak. But on the other hand, this family is low-key and outrageous. Except for people in some circles who have heard of it, there is basically very little news about the Cao family outside, which can be said to have brought the ancient saying of making a fortune silently to the extreme.
Qin Yang brought Han Xue and Yan Keke to Lingnan this time. Whether it was Mrs. Qingcheng or Han Yuan, they mentioned the Cao family more or less. Mrs. Qingcheng said less, Han Yuan said more and more, and all information was revealed. The only thing he didn't tell him was that the Cao family had a pair of twin sisters, otherwise such a mistake would not have happened.
Han Yuan highly praised Mr. Cao, so he said more about Mr. Cao. Because of Cao Zijin's relationship, he was very concerned about the Cao family. Therefore, he listened to this information very seriously. Before he met, he had already had a vague understanding of Mr. Cao.
Lingnan has entered midsummer, and the temperature is so high that Qin Yang can feel the heat wave outside while sitting in the car, which makes him feel not so comfortable.
The car drove for about forty minutes, and finally stopped at the door of a villa by the Pearl River. As soon as the car stopped, the big iron door of the villa slowly opened. A middle-aged man quickly walked out of the inside. Qin Yang got out of the car. The middle-aged man glanced at him and said, "Is it Mr. Qin?"
Qin Yang nodded, and the middle-aged man said, "Mr. Qin, please invite me inside. The old man is inside. Please come with me."
The two walked inside one by one and one behind.
This villa has been completed for some time. It looks simple and old, but after entering it, it has a unique world. Qin Yang looked at it one by one, without saying a word, and directly followed the middle-aged man into the living room.
The middle-aged man poured him a cup of tea and said, "The old man has the habit of taking naps every day, but the second lady went upstairs and called, and it would probably come down soon. You have a cup of tea and wait for a while."
Qin Yang smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. If I had known this, I should have come here later. I will disturb the old man's rest."
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up slightly, but he didn't say much. After accompanying him for a while, he got up and left the living room.
Qin Yang was drinking tea and looking at the layout of the villa living room. Perhaps because the old man lived here alone, the decoration here was not complicated, and even felt that it was too simple and simple.
But to be simple, it is not simple. Those inconspicuous furniture, in the eyes of outsiders, are inconspicuous, but in the eyes of people who know goods, are all priceless. It is not difficult to see the background of the Cao family from this point of view.
Before long, I heard footsteps coming upstairs. A woman helped an old man downstairs. The old man was wearing a silk Zhongshan suit, tall and majestic, nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. Even with mottled silver hair, he could not hide his majesty.
Qin Yang nodded slightly when he saw it. No need to think that the only one with such momentum is Mr. Cao.
Cao Zijin supported Cao Lao's arm and slowly went downstairs. In Qin Yang's opinion, such support was actually very unnecessary. With the old man's energy and physical strength, he could walk downstairs very hard.
After going downstairs, the old man seemed to have not seen him and sat down straight. Cao Zijin obediently poured a cup of tea and put it to the old man's hand, saying, "Grandpa, you drink tea."
Old Cao grinned, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "You sit down, don't serve me."
Cao Zijin nodded and sat down next to Mr. Cao, looking at Qin Yang with big eyes. There was a faint slight scent of provocativeness between his eyebrows, perhaps provocation was more accurate.
This look made Qin Yang a little curious. Could it be that the old man would make things difficult for him when he came here today? But thinking that since he came here, it would be inevitable that he would be difficult for him. There is a family around him, and the old man would never tear him up.
After taking a sip of tea, the old man then spoke, "You are Qin Yang?"
Qin Yang nodded and said, "I am."
The old man's eyes were very straight and sharp. When he looked at people, he gave people a feeling of being invisible. This was how he looked at Qin Yang and said for a while: "Do you know why I want to see you?"
Qin Yang smiled slightly and said, "Would you like to listen to the truth or to lie?"
The old man said indifferently: "What is the truth and what is the lies?" After a moment of contemplation, he said: "Listen to the lies first."
When ordinary people encounter such a question, they have to think for a while, and they are a little hesitant, but the old man reacted very quickly and pushed the problem to Qin Yang in an understatement.
He looked at Qin Yang with a smile, as if he wanted to hear, what is the difference between truth and lies?
Qin Yang was slightly surprised. It was nothing more than Han Yuan's admiration for Mr. Cao. These two simple conversations showed his uniqueness.
At this time, Cao Zijin also looked at Qin Yang with a puzzled look, curious about how Qin Yang would turn his words back.
Qin Yang smiled and said, "Zi Jin told me that you know what happened between me and her. You want to meet me and see what kind of person I am, so I came."
The old man looked suspicious: "Is this the truth?"
"No, this is a lie." Qin Yang said quickly.
"I do know the relationship between you and Zijin. I want to see what kind of person you are. You think there is something wrong with you." The old man pondered.
Qin Yang said lightly: "On the surface, of course, there is no problem, but after I came to Lingnan, every move I made fell into the eyes of the old man. What kind of person am I? The old man has already seen it clearly, so why bother to do this again?"
The old man was slightly stunned, a gleam in his eyes burst out, and he said, "Then you tell me, what is the truth?"
Qin Yang stretched out his hand, pointed to a letter on the wall of the living room, and said, "Old man, if I read it correctly, you wrote this letter?"
"That's right." said the old man.
"The strength is penetrated through the back of the paper, and the iron is painted with silver hooks. It is good to write, but the better is the artistic conception." Qin Yang said slowly.
Cao Zijin couldn't understand the meaning and whispered the word: "Fish leaps at this time, and flowers bloom on the other side of the sky."
The old man was slightly moved, clapped his hands gently, and said, "Xiao Ning, you go out first, I'll talk to Qin Yang alone."
Xiao Ning?
Qin Yang was shocked. This woman was not Cao Zijin, but Cao Zining. What was going on? Where did Cao Zijin go?
Cao Zining looked at Qin Yang with a deep meaning and left with a strange smile, which made Qin Yang feel angry. He couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart. He didn't know if the old man knew the relationship between him and her.
Fortunately, the old man's face was not strange. After Cao Zining left, he took a sip of tea and said, "What does this character mean in your opinion?"
Qin Yang did not answer the old man’s question, but said: “I have heard that the Cao family was not only unique in Lingnan in business, but also in the officialdom, but twenty years later, the Cao family disappeared in the Lingnan officialdom. I wonder how the old man explained this?”
The old man remained silent, his face was gloomy and gloomy. After a while, he said, "What else do you know?"
Qin Yang smiled and said, "I know this, I'm always confused. I hope the old man can explain his doubts."
The old man raised his head and looked at a big tree in the yard. At this time, the wind blew by, and the leaves were blowing, and some leaves were circling and falling. One of the leaves was blown into the living room and landed at the old man's feet.
The old man lowered his head and looked at the leaf. For a moment, his expression was fascinated and said like a murmur: "The wind is blowing."
Qin Yang sighed: "Yes, the wind is blowing, the flowers and plants in the yard are fine, but the trees are big, so the wind is attracted!"
The old man suddenly looked sharp and stared at him and said, "Since you know, why do you still have to ask me?"
Qin Yang was unmoved and said, "Some words that came out of my mouth were just guesses, but those said from the old man were facts."
The old man sighed and said, "The big tree attracts wind, but if the tree is not big, then he doesn't even have the qualification to attract wind. If it were you, what choice would you make?"
With a frown slightly, Qin Yang said, "The Cao family is still a big tree, why should the old man say this?"
The old man laughed at himself and said, "If you say the truth, why tell me that the fish leaps at this time and the flowers bloom on the other side of the sky."
"I just told you your ambitions, old man, it doesn't matter whether you are honest or not." Qin Yang said with a slick head.
The old man is a mature spirit, so how could he not know that Qin Yang deliberately changed the topic and said, "Since he said it, let's talk about it carefully. How do you explain this sentence in your opinion?"
Qin Yang still did not answer his question and said, "Huaxia is very big, Lingnan only occupies a corner. The old man has seen it thoroughly, so why bother asking this question?"
With a "bang", the old man slapped the table and stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Yang: "Why, you lied to my two granddaughters, I want you to tell the truth. Is it so difficult to achieve it?"
The cold sweat on Qin Yang's forehead fell down in an instant.
Outside the yard, Cao Zining listened to the old man's words, his pretty face twitched slightly, his expression seemed sad and angry, and he seemed to have a different emotion.
She stood under the tree, allowing the fallen leaves to fall down her body, her feet were as if they were rooted, standing still without moving, and even her posture had never changed.
Qin Yang was drunk by the old man, even though he was brave, his scalp was numb and he almost jumped up from the chair. He said, "Old man, if I say this is a misunderstanding, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it!" the old man said firmly.
Qin Yang smiled bitterly. It turned out that the old man was still a one-man old antique. He said, "Whether you believe it or not, I must explain it to this point. This is indeed a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding? Humph!" The old man snorted coldly: "Do you think this matter can be brought over with just a simple misunderstanding? Are you underestimating me or too conceited?"
Qin Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I didn't look down on anyone, I just told the truth. Moreover, I don't think I need to lie to you, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here at all today."
The old man pointed at the chair under his butt and said unquestionably: "The reason you sit here is because you have no choice."
Qin Yang sighed and said, "The old man's eyes are like a torch, but I dare to ask, does the old man have another choice if he asks me to sit here?
