Chapter 495 - Nothing to Say to People
Xiao Chenghan's residence is in the Hankou district, which was also a small courtyard of the city hall in the early years, and this area has been listed as a traditional building protection area.
Purely Western-style building, I heard that this was once the residence of a tea merchant......
Xiao Chenghan is over ninety years old, but the old man is okay, his ears are not deaf and his eyes are not dazzling. Thanks to learning a little boxing and kicking with Li Jinshi in his early years, he has practiced diligently for many years, and has built a good foundation.
With his qualifications, his level, he has diligence.
"This is a private residence and does not receive tourists. ”
When Chen Tiange and the others knocked on the door, a young man opened the crack in the door and refused directly.
"Hello, please give this to Xiao Lao. If Xiao Lao is gone, we won't bother. ”
"How do you know it'...... here?"
The young man was originally going to ask Chen Tiange about their source, but then he thought that this was not a secret, so he didn't continue, but took the yellowed piece of paper handed over by Chen Tiange very suspiciously.
"Will Elder Xiao admit it?"
Although they believe that the person who wrote the piece of paper is Xiao Chenghan, after many years, and they don't know anything about officials, especially officials at this level, they are very worried and uncertain.
"It doesn't matter if you admit it or not. Originally, this is a casual behavior, and nothing can be relied on by others. ”
Chen Tiange was persuaded by these two women to come, and he was not very happy to contact the official from the bottom of his heart, especially the Jianghu matter between him and the Zhao family.
Official intervention will only be more troublesome and taboo. Coming here today has basically cut off the possibility of solving it in private, or in a Jianghu way.
No matter what, Chen Tiange didn't want to touch the line in his heart.
Xiao Chenghan is entertaining guests today, and they are two ladies of his son and nephew.
The three of them sat in the small courtyard, chatting about their father's past.
"Chief, someone sent a piece of paper outside the door asking to see ......"
"What kind of piece of paper? Who handed the note? I'm old like this, and someone else has done crooked ways to get me. ”
"Xiao Luo, Xiao Wang, look at it! Some of the practices of the organization are very good now, and putting rights in a cage is an effective way to restrict privileges. ”
"However, there are always some people who don't give up. Let them go, I won't accept it!"
Xiao Chenghan is an older generation, with firm beliefs all his life, and he is very tired of some chickens and dogs.
"Chief, no, their pieces of paper seem to be your handwriting, probably decades old......"
"My handwriting? decades, I'll look at ......"
Xiao Chenghan has never forgotten Li Jinshi, but seventy years have passed, and there has never been any information for so many years.
More than 20 years ago, when cross-strait relations eased, he gave a special explanation to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, but he did not receive any news. He thought that Li Jinshi had already suffered misfortune, or that there was no descendant left.
Now, he's hiding that memory.
When Xiao Chenghan saw that he didn't dare to forget the grace of saving his life, the old man in his nineties got up with a rub......
"Quick...... Invite him in...... No...... I'm going to greet you. ”
The old man's steps were still vigorous, and his body was as straight.
"Xiao Lao ......"
"Wait for the guests to come in and tell them together, this is my benefactor. ”
Even the guests at home were left behind, and Xiao Chenghan hurried to the door......
Chen Tiange was clear about the conversation in the courtyard, he didn't expect that this Xiao Chenghan would still attach so much importance to the events of more than 70 years ago.
Feng Lixuan held him, not in a hurry at all. From the time Chen Tiange said that he didn't care, she felt that it didn't matter what she was.
Zheng Wenhui walked back and forth irritably.
"Okay, you can't even reply, right? It's been so long, and there's no one yet. ”
"Here ......
It's really here, and the service is not supported or supported.
Through the crack in the door, you can see a silver-haired old man, walking straight ahead, and the young man who is working closely follows.
As he approached the gate, he took a few quick steps and opened the gate first......
Chen Tiange could see Xiao Chenghan's expression of loss......
After all, it was an old fellow, and he instantly regained his composure. He stopped and nodded politely.
"Come in. ”
The tone was not as excited as before.
When Xiao Chenghan saw the piece of paper, his mind was full of Li Jinshi, and he fantasized that after opening the door, he could see the big brother Li who was so helpful to him.
Although he knew that Li Jinshi would be 100 years old if he lived. With the breathing method and fists and feet taught to him by Li Jinshi, he can still be so healthy in his nineties, and Brother Li may not be able to walk at the age of 100.
Can...... Alas, a young man and two women, and one seemed to be familiar......
Hopefully, it won't be the future generations that are in trouble.
Money doesn't matter, Xiao Chenghan really doesn't want to rely on the old and sell the old to interfere in the official face, but the original life-saving grace ...... Alas, let's see.
From hearing Xiao Chenghan's excitement, to the old man personally greeting him, to his expression when he met each other. Regarding Xiao Chenghan's state of mind, Chen Tiange is clear.
The so-called help, he is not counting on it. It can be regarded as a part of the original relationship of the master.
Still in the courtyard, a few rattan chairs were added around the stone table, and three cups of tea and a few snacks were added to the stone table.
Chen Tiange saw someone ......
"Elder Xiao, you have a guest, why don't we come back another day?"
"It's okay, it has something to do with Xiao Wang's father, I was Xiao Wang's father's subordinate back then. There is nothing to say to others, we are just renewing the past, and they are also reminiscing. ”
Xiao Chenghan's words have already determined the scope and implicitly pointed out...... Limited to reminiscences.
"Who of you brought this piece of paper?"
"Xiao Lao, it's me. ”
"Who are you, Li Jinshi?"
Chen Tiange looked at the service, and the two noble ladies next to him who were funny and lively, and he didn't know if it was appropriate to say it.
"There's no taboo, I'm not taboo at my age. ”
Xiao Chenghan thought that Chen Tiange was because Li Jinshi's identity was not easy to speak. Even Xiao Chenghan was not too clear about Li Jinshi's identity at the beginning, just the surface identity.
"Li Jinshi is my master. ”
"Master?"
The lady next to her spoke. Don't look at people who are in their sixties, the heart of gossip is in women, regardless of age.
Chen Tiange looked at Xiao Chenghan again...... The following words are the essence, whether it will have an impact on this old man, whether it is appropriate to say it or not, it is up to the old man to decide.
As for Chen Tiange, it doesn't matter, how he was born has nothing to do with his current behavior.
"They are my sons and nephews, no further than my own children. ”
Okay, but you let me say it.
"My master was the swallow Li San back then, Li Jinghua's eldest disciple, and my master's generation was three brothers and sisters at that time. ”
Regardless of whether Xiao Chenghan can help himself in the official face or not, Chen Tiange is ready to talk about it in detail.
He, Feng Lixuan and Zhao Renfeng must start from the beginning.
Chen Tiange really didn't want his brother to be in trouble, he still hoped that Zhao Renfeng could give an explanation, so that it would not become out of control.
Since Jincheng Group was supported by Xiao Chenghan, he should be able to deliver the message. As for the gossip at Zhao Jincheng's funeral, Chen Tiange was just an idler's gossip.
