The living room of the villa is filled with the faint fragrance of tea, which penetrates the heart and mind.
"Ah Feng, this is my collection, I won't show it to anyone easily, come and try it," Mr. Xia poured tea for Xiao Feng himself and said with a smile.
Xiao Feng didn't feel anything. He had drunk too much good tea since he was a child. However, something strange flashed in Xia Yu's eyes. Did grandpa really value Xiao Feng? He actually took out the tea that he had treasured for a long time. Entertain him.
Some teas are better when they are newer, while some teas, like old wine, become more fragrant as they age. Obviously, Mr. Xia's pot of tea is no ordinary thing.
"Haha, then I will have to drink a few more cups," Xiao Feng smiled, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and was slightly shocked. The Xia family's heritage is indeed rich.
Xiao Feng had drunk this kind of tea once, and heard Mr. Jing mention it. It is a very rare tea produced in Yunnan. It has Pu'er properties, but it is not comparable to the best Pu'er.
"How is it?" Mr. Xia, like most tea lovers, likes to ask others how their tea is.
Xiao Feng didn't say anything. He took a sip and said something that made people laugh or cry: "It seems to be no different from a big bowl of tea in the capital."
"..." Xia Yu and Sister Yu were both stunned. They had just seen Xiao Feng tasting tea very skillfully. They thought he was really a master of tea ceremony. Even if he didn't understand tea ceremony, he could still praise him casually. How could he say that it was nothing like a big bowl of tea? the difference.
Mr. Xia was also stunned, and then he laughed: "Hahaha, boy, you, you, you, drink it like a big bowl of tea today,"
"Yeah," Xiao Feng raised his head, took a sip, and drank up the tea.
Mr. Xia poured another cup for Xiao Feng: "Let's drink three cups in a row first."
"Okay," Xiao Feng was not polite. He drank three cups in one breath and glanced at Mr. Xia: "Mr. Xia, I suddenly feel that this tea tastes better than a big bowl of tea. Do you still have it? Otherwise, I When you leave, give me a bag of two pounds,"
"..." When Xia Yu heard Xiao Feng's words, she wished she could splash a cup of hot tea on Xiao Feng's face. How could he be so shameless?
Mr. Xia shook his head: "I don't have two kilograms, but I can pack some for you to take back later."
"Hey, I know Mr. Xia is generous." After getting the tea, Xiao Feng gave a thumbs up and praised him. Anyway, it doesn't cost anything to praise him. I sent the tea to Mr. Jing today. I think this old guy will be happy. .
After drinking several cups of hot tea, Mr. Xia turned to look at Xia Yu and Sister Yu: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Tong, you two make arrangements and leave A Feng for lunch at noon."
Xia Yu nodded. She knew her grandfather had something to say to Xiao Feng, so she stood up and said, "Okay,"
"So her name is Xiaotong," Xiao Feng glanced at Sister Yu's back and muttered to himself.
The door of the living room was closed, Xiao Feng withdrew his gaze and looked at Mr. Xia, wondering again, this old man would not marry his granddaughter again.
"A Feng, what are your plans next," Mr. Xia asked slowly after taking a sip of tea.
Xiao Feng was relieved when he heard that Mr. Xia was not talking about marriage: "To deal with some trivial matters, I have to go to the capital."
"Let's go to the capital." Mr. Xia was stunned and put down the purple clay cup: "The capital is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden."
"Haha, Mr. Xia is overthinking, I'm just going to have fun," Xiao Feng smiled, without revealing the purpose of his trip.
Mr. Xia nodded: "That's the best. How long will it take to come back?"
"It can take as long as ten days and a half, or as little as about a week," Xiao Feng said in an uncertain tone.
"The Xiao family is gradually getting on the right track now. Are you sure you don't have to stay in Jiuquan?"
Xiao Feng picked up the purple clay pot and poured Mr. Xia a cup of tea: "I came here today because I have something to do and I need Mr. Xia's help."
"Say it,"
"Ms. Xiao is now like a child who has just learned to walk. Although he looks strong, he is vulnerable. Therefore, I hope Mr. Xia can help Mr. Xiao more when I am not in Jiuquan." Xiao Feng looked at Xia Feng The old man said.
Mr. Xia's heart moved. This boy is using retreat as an advantage to advance his own army. "Haha, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to swallow up your Xiao family?"
"Haha, Mr. Xia is joking. How could Mr. Xia see such a small Xiao family?" Xiao Feng laughed, his eyes twinkling.
Mr. Xia also smiled: "Okay, I promise you, kid, as long as my old man is here, no one in Jiuquan will dare to deal with the Xiao family,"
"Thank you, Mr. Xia," Xiao Feng was completely relieved after receiving Mr. Xia's promise.
Before, Xiao Feng considered whether he should go to Mr. Wen or Mr. Xia, but in the end he hesitated and went to Mr. Xia.
"Ah Feng, as someone who has been here before, I, the old man, would like to say a few words," Mr. Xia looked at Xiao Feng and said slowly.
"Please tell me, I'm all ears, kid," Xiao Feng suppressed the smile on his face and nodded.
"It is easy for a force to rise, but it takes a long time to grow into a behemoth. In the past few decades, Jiuquan has experienced ups and downs, and many forces have risen, but in the end they all disappeared quickly, such as Shifang The force, the one with the shortest time, has had a foothold in Jiuquan for hundreds of years and has never been broken."
Xiao Feng nodded, it was indeed the case. To see whether a force is truly strong, one must judge it from all aspects, including connections, heritage, money... some things do take time to settle.
"What I admire the most is Feng Laoer. Back then, he was a young man like you, who rose up overnight. Then with the power of thunder, he swept away the underworld in Jiuquan and became the godfather of underworld. At that time, Lao Hai has already decided to retire. With his acquiescence, Feng Laoer has achieved great success and has ended the turmoil in Jiuquan. Everyone respects him as Master Feng."
Xiao Feng didn't say anything. He had heard about these past histories before, but they were not detailed. Everyone's life trajectory is different. There is no need for him to imitate Feng Laoer. His and Feng Laoer's pursuits are also different. .
"At that time, I guessed that Feng Laoer had a national background. After I made some inquiries, it turned out that he was a peripheral member of the National Security Bureau and even a person in charge. Haha, the National Security Bureau back then was extremely arrogant. Nothing comparable today,"
Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes. The Xia family was indeed strong enough. They even found out Feng Laoer's background.
"So, I allowed him to grow up and successfully squeezed into the Shifang forces. Sure enough, he did not disappoint me. When the power reached a peak, he quickly faded away, got rid of the influence of the dark forces, and established the Feng family. Although His bleaching is not thorough enough, but I want to say that from one world to another, it often takes decades or even generations of efforts. In recent years, Feng Laoer has also learned to keep a low profile and is also settling into the Feng family. The background of
"Yeah," Xiao Feng nodded.
"And you, Xiao Feng, when you first came into the spotlight, I sent people to investigate you, but your background was completely blank. I couldn't find any information or files about you. So, there are only two possibilities. One, you are an undercover person; two, your identity has reached a certain level of confidentiality,"
The corners of Xiao Feng's lips curled up. To be honest, he didn't know who his parents were. From this point of view, he could be considered a shady person.
"You, just like Feng Lao'er back then, were full of courage in doing things. You started with Tianmen and quickly wiped out the gang. At the same time, you established the Xiao family and truly entered the upper class circle. The most important thing is that you are better than Feng Lao'er back then. If you want to be arrogant and domineering, first destroy the Xie family, and then use the sword of the state to kill the Hao family and Shao family,"
"Haha, Mr. Xia, please don't praise me. I don't appreciate praise."
Mr. Xia waved his hand: "I'm just telling the truth. What the Xiao family lacks is time for development. If you work steadily and accumulate your own heritage step by step, then you can stand on Jiuquan,"
"Um,"
"I don't know where your ultimate goal is, but based on the foundation laid by Jiuquan, it is excellent to target the six provinces of East China and even the whole country," Mr. Xia stared at Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes again. Although this old man was usually careless, he saw it so clearly. Sure enough, these powerful old men have gone through too many storms in their lives, and they are all old foxes who have matured with age.
Mr. Xia knows that Xiao Feng is a smart man, and he will definitely be able to understand what he means. Some words can be spoken a little bit, and there is no need to be thorough, otherwise it will not make much sense.
"Mr. Xia, I remember your words," Xiao Feng was silent for a few minutes and nodded.
"Haha, I'm just talking casually," Mr. Xia picked up the teacup and gently smelled the tea: "Boy, you asked me for tea because you wanted to give it to the person behind you,"
Xiao Feng felt a slight shock in his heart, but then he felt relieved. He returned to Jiuquan and frequently visited Peach Blossom Alley. Naturally, he could not hide it from the eyes of interested people. However, he was not worried. He was not fully aware of the depth of the old guy. How could these people find out? .
"Haha, yes, his old man likes tea the most," Xiao Feng smiled mysteriously without explaining too much.
Mr. Xia nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the time and said, "Be sure to stay and have a few drinks with me at noon today."
"Definitely," Xiao Feng readily agreed.
Outside the villa, Sister Yu and Xia Yu were walking slowly. Suddenly she stopped: "No, where are they?"
Seeing her cousin stop, Xia Yu turned around and looked over: "Cousin, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about Xiao Feng," Sister Yu said subconsciously.
"Ah," Xia Yu stared at her cousin with wide eyes. What kind of magic power did that gangster have? Sister Yu started to miss him when she saw his face.
Sister Yu also realized that there was a mistake in her words and hurriedly said: "Don't think blindly, he is the dish prepared by your grandfather for you. How can I dare to make up my mind? I mean, why do I look so familiar to him?"
Xia Yu ignored the first half of Sister Yu's sentence and frowned slightly: "It looks familiar. Didn't you tell me that I saw you in the square last time?"
"It's not that time," Sister Yu shook her head firmly: "The last time I left the square, I felt that he looked familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before."
"where,"
"I forgot, it seems to be in Yindu," Sister Yu said in an uncertain tone.
