To be honest, I feel a little excited and complicated right now.
Because I know that coming to Zhu's house today is a very meaningful thing for me.
For me personally, this is a stance and a choice. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us secretly.
The water in the Imperial Capital is very deep. If I want to gain a foothold here, I not only need to be strong enough, but also need a big tree behind me that can accommodate me. At least now I need a big tree.
At this time, Lao Zhu looked up and down my body, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no injuries on my body.
"Brother, it's great that you're okay. What happened, I'm so worried about!"
"Thank you, Brother Zhu, I'm fine!"
I thanked him and got out of the car.
When Lao Zhu saw that I did not hold the Bianhua flower in my hand, his eyes flashed, obviously feeling a little disappointed.
However, Lao Zhu was very particular about people after all, and did not express his intention immediately. Instead, he stretched out his hand and politely pulled me in, "Let's talk after we go in."
The living room on the first floor is decorated in a very simple way, with large white walls and gray floor tiles, which has nothing to do with luxury. Several sets of mahogany furniture seem to have been around for a while. They should be old items, so these things are worth a little money.
There was a tea can on the Eight Immortals table, and the water had just boiled. Lao Zhu picked up the tea set and started brewing it himself.
When the tea leaves encounter boiling water, they will bloom one by one in a short time, and they will all be green buds.
Not long after, a faint scent of tea floated out. One sip made people feel relaxed and happy.
"Come on, brother, try my fine Maojian tea!"
I picked up the small cup and took a sip, and suddenly I felt a fragrance spread in my mouth, with a light sweetness. After swallowing it, I felt a fragrance lingering on my lips and teeth, and then there was a slight coolness, and the aftertaste was long.
The pores all over my body seemed to be opened, it was extremely wonderful.
"Good tea, good tea!" I couldn't help but praise.
"Of course it's good tea. I usually can't even take a sip." Zhu Ju said with envy next to him.
"oh?"
I glanced at Zhu Ju with some surprise, and suddenly felt curious in my heart, what kind of tea could make even the eldest son of the Zhu family unable to drink it.
"Brother, guess what kind of tea this is?" Lao Zhu asked with a smile.
I took a look at the green buds and said, "This should be the hair tip of xy, right?"
"Brother, you have good eyesight. This is XY Maojian, but this is not an ordinary XY Maojian, but the tea from Longtan Yunwu Mountain. I wonder if you have heard of it? It is said that there is a Longtan in the mountain, which is covered by thick fog all year round.
It's covered and doesn't see much sunlight, so the tea there is the best. It only produces a little bit every year, and it's all supplied directly! Even the water for making tea is shipped from the local Mr. Hu in xy
of."
My eyes lit up. I had heard about this a little bit, because I once heard my grandfather say that there is indeed such a rumor. It is said that there is a spring in the Yunwu Mountain. The temperature difference between day and night is huge, which affects about one or two acres of the surrounding area.
It is so big that it is covered by thick fog during the day and does not dissipate until night. Because it does not see the sun very much, it can only absorb the essence of the moon, so the tea grows slowly, but the taste is extremely wonderful, and it can be called the best in the world.
It's just that the output of this tea is too small. Once it is produced, it will be sent directly to the imperial capital. Not to mention ordinary people, even local vendors and tea frying masters can rarely take a sip.
I originally thought this was just a rumor, just to hype up the local Maojian tea, but I didn’t expect it to be true. Not only did I see it today, but I was also lucky enough to drink a cup. It was really wonderful.
However, after listening to Zhu Ju's meaning, I probably understood that this tea was not for nothing.
Although I understood and probably guessed Lao Zhu's intention, I didn't show it, let alone take the initiative to speak.
Because I know that there is a huge difference in the results between action and passivity.
So I just drank the tea leisurely and pretended that I didn't see Lao Zhu's intention. Lao Zhu didn't seem to be in a hurry, so he asked me about what happened after I left the auction house.
"Brother, what kind of monster is that? Why isn't it even afraid of guns?" Lao Zhu asked about the indestructible bone.
I couldn't give him a detailed answer to this question, I could only give him a general description.
But even so, Lao Zhu was still shocked after hearing this, "Is there really such a monster in this world?"
"In contrast, I'm more worried about Xiaoli now. They are the most terrifying enemies now!" I sighed and said tentatively.
Lao Zhu suddenly frowned, "I have known for a long time that these little days are secretly moving, but I didn't expect them to be so deep. If you didn't say that I didn't know about it until now, it would be extremely abominable!"
While Lao Zhu was speaking, he slapped the table hard, his expression extremely ugly.
I sighed, what else can I say?
This is the imperial capital, and even he doesn’t know it, which is enough to explain the problem, and similar things are not one or two.
"Hey! It seems that there is a mole among our people!" Lao Zhu sighed, his expression even more distressed.
I smiled and still said nothing. This kind of thing is not my turn yet.
People like me are destined to walk in a gray area. I can't stand on the stage, and I'm not orthodox. Even if I do good things for the country and the people by exorcizing demons and defending the Tao, I can't say it on the stage, because even if I do such a thing
, I don’t know if there is any meritorious service, but I know that it is true that if you are not careful, you will end up in a fatal disaster.
And I don’t want to fall into these whirlpools. Even being an ordinary citizen is safer than being involved in these struggles.
Lao Zhu was thoughtful and could see my worries at a glance. He sighed deeply, with helplessness written on his face.
"I think back then, when my old man was in power, who would have dared to do such a thing? It's a pity that the old man was born at the wrong time and had just passed a difficult time. He offended many vested interests, which is why he ended up like this!"
When I heard this, I suddenly felt sour in my heart. I couldn't help but think of that resolute face who worked day and night to serve the country and the people.
"Old man, is he okay?" I asked a little seriously.
"Hey! It's not good! I don't know if I can survive this year!"
Lao Zhu's tone was full of anger and resignation, "Since my old man came down, the influence of our Zhu family has become increasingly weak. Now that the old man has contracted a strange disease, the situation has become even more complicated and confusing. Now, I can't
I don’t have any extra energy to fight for those things. I only have one wish now, which is to make my old man healthy and well. This is more important than anything else!”
Having said this, Lao Zhu suddenly looked at me with a heavy expression on his face.
"Brother, I came to you today because I have something to ask for. Although it's a little abrupt, I ask you to agree to it no matter what."
"Brother Zhu, please speak." I quickly looked solemn.
Lao Zhu nodded, "In that case, brother, I will tell you directly, can you resell that flower from the other side to me?"
As expected, Lao Zhu came for the Flower of the Other Side, which did not surprise me at all. I hesitated slightly and asked tentatively: "Brother Zhu, do you want to use this flower to cure the old man's illness?"
Lao Zhu nodded, "Brother, I know this makes you very embarrassed, but I really have no other choice. As long as you give me this flower, I will pay any price. As for the Chen family,
I will go and explain to them in person, if it doesn’t work I will kowtow to Chen Longxiang!”
As he spoke, the old man's eyes turned slightly red.
I looked at him in disbelief. I didn't expect that he could actually say such words, or even kowtow to Chen Longxiang. How much determination does this require? How much humiliation will he have to endure if one day he really does so?
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, filial piety comes first among all good deeds, and for this reason, Lao Zhu can make friends.
They live a more transparent and open life than me!
"Brother Zhu, I think you have misunderstood. This Bianhua flower has nothing to do with the Chen family." I explained quickly.
"Not the Chen family? Are you still involved with other families?" Lao Zhu's expression changed slightly.
"Brother, I have to advise you, you must not get in the water of the imperial capital. If you are working for the Chen family, I won't say anything. After all, you and the Chen family are related by blood. Interrupt
The bones are still attached to the tendons, but other families must not believe it easily. These people have always eaten people without spitting out the bones. In their eyes, there is no friendship, only interests."
I nodded, looking at the old pig's appearance, I couldn't help feeling a little grateful.
Lao Zhu suddenly lowered his voice again and whispered: "As for that dragon vein, even the flower of the other side, it probably can't be saved! Your father was involved in this matter at the beginning, you must not make the same mistake as him.
