Text 193, Cai's flowing water seat
On the ninth day of the lunar month, Caifu is auspicious.
This day is the first day of Cai Zhaoxian's 60-year-old "Huajia Shou". Early in the morning, relatives and friends came to congratulate them. In the ice and snow, the luxury cars on the side of the road are far away, which is spectacular.
Since ancient times, Tiannan has had the custom of doing "nine" and not "ten", and doing virtual (year) and not real (year). To put it bluntly, when it comes to the 60th or 70th birthday, it should be held in advance to the age of 59 or 69. Because the common people think that "ten" has come to an end, and it is a bad omen to go further. "If it is full, it will be a loss, if it is excessive, there will be regrets, in the middle of the day, and if it is full of money, it will be a loss. The truth has been the same through the ages.
Therefore, people will advance the birthday of the whole ten to the birthday of the ninth birthday of the virtual year to do, "nine" and "long" homonym, implying that the birthday has not yet come to an end, take the meaning of long and long.
Cai Zhaoxian is different, obviously it is to celebrate the birthday of the six-six-year-old, but in fact, he is going to kill the year at the age of sixty-six. The whole life of sixty years old has passed a few years ago with other excuses.
"Sixty-three, the carp jumps on the beach. Sixty-six, Hades, please eat meat." Sixty-six years old is a killing year, and it can be regarded as a rather dangerous hurdle in life.
This place is the earliest city center of Dragon City, and after a hundred years, some of the buildings have become historically valuable. His house is considered an ancestral property, a three-story small building, designed by a famous family, and beautiful. Most of the surrounding residents are also his own relatives. Compared with the tall buildings in the distance, it is quieter and more compelling.
Before noon, the table was already open.
The old rule, three days of flowing water banquet, from noon to hai, every two hours to turn over the table, as long as you can eat, just come. But there is one thing, no gifts are allowed.
In the words of the Cai family, the villagers in the township can come to their own family, and their own family members go back to their homes for a light meal, and they still need to make up their parts?
At first, there were also blind streams on the street who came to take advantage, but the Cai family's food was delicious and not good. After several unclear and unobtrusive encounters, those with ulterior motives no longer dared to come.
At night, there is still a stage outside the courtyard, and there is a local opera in Dragon City. Those who take the stage are not wrists, but they are all corners in the eyes of locals. You can order the play yourself, but the owner doesn't care about the cost, whoever orders it pays for it. This is a good opportunity to play a role in Cai's family, and relatives and friends coax together, and some people are six-figure excerpts.
Before the opening of the table, the order should be arranged as usual. There is nothing else to pay attention to, a table of ten people, full of people.
In the crowd, Ren Kai was dressed in sportswear, and followed behind Tong Jingsheng with some dodge. Judging from the appearance, there is no trace of the old age and seriousness of the past, but it is a bit like a little fresh meat that has changed to the idol route.
"Will Ding Jianguo really come here......? How do you act like a thief? It's generous, isn't it?" Tong Jingsheng held back a smile and pulled down his face and scolded.
Ren Kai looked around, lowered his head and whispered, "Why do you always feel weird wearing this outfit." It's like wearing the wrong clothes for my daughter. Is this really Xiuxiu bought?" Ren Kai glanced at him with some suspicion and said.
Tong Jingsheng coughed dryly, pointed to the corner of the wall, and said, "There are two vacant seats, sit down first." I've been busy all morning, and I'm a little hungry. "Let's go over first.
Ren Kai had no choice but to follow. His case is basically cleared, although it is not completely closed, but he can be released on bail. There were too many departments involved in the bail procedure, and the two of them worked closely and it took a whole morning to complete it. In the meantime, he accidentally learned that Cai Zhao had a birthday first, so he came over to fight the autumn breeze and observe Ding Jianguo's movements by the way.
Only those who sit in the chief can enter the house, and the rest of the people will be arranged to eat in a temporary shed in the courtyard. There is a one-person-high cabinet air conditioner in the color shed, which keeps blowing warm air to keep the cold out.
"When you were acting yesterday, what did you say at the beginning, what was about the door, and the fact that you didn't buy a ticket for taking the train, is it true?" Tong Jingsheng sat in the corner, wearing the hat of the down jacket on his head, and he was like a turtle.
Ren Kai was stunned, nodded, and said, "Of course it's true." What's the matter? Xiuxiu is because of this? Yes, she likes to find a back account. After about a night, I was relieved. Xiushan ...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”
At this time, a fat old man next to him, looking at his age of more than sixty, full of tyrant temperament, said with a smile, "Young man, is also Zhaoxian's nephew?
Ren Kai looked down at himself, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "It's a friend, it's a friend." ”
The old man smiled, nodded, and said, "The young man is quite energetic, do you have a girlfriend?"
Tong Jingsheng snorted and was happy.
Ren Kai was a little embarrassed, nodded hurriedly, and said, "There is." ”
The old man leaned over and whispered, "Don't be in a hurry to make up your mind, take a look." I have a daughter who is very talented, not to mention her beauty. You might as well think about it. ”
Tong Jingsheng lay on the table, holding his stomach, shivering.
Ren Kai coughed a few times and said with a bitter face, "Thank you for your kindness." I have children. No way, get married early. ”
The old man blinked his little eyes and smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, you clean up like this, can your wife rest assured that you will go out?"
Tong Jingsheng couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.
Ren Kai glared at him, and said to the old man with a smile, "Old man, what do you think of this one next to me?"
The old man was furious, sneered, and said, "How can you speak, he? Who is not necessarily the eldest of us? Although our Pan family is not as good as the Cai family, not everyone can tie it." Look over there, my daughter is coming. With a look of arrogance on his face, he looked at a few girls who came from not far away.
Tong Jingsheng couldn't laugh anymore, his face was red and his neck was thick and panting.
Ren Kai didn't care, as the old man's gaze looked, several girls with exquisite makeup and fashionable clothes were standing at the door waiting to arrange seats, which attracted some attention.
A woman standing at the front, with slender eyebrows and eyes, smiled half-covering her mouth, and her gestures seemed to be soft and weak, but her posture was like water, which was the best.
Ren Kai looked at her, squinting his eyes, thoughtful.
"How's it going, young man, the tallest is my daughter. The old man still didn't give up, and pointed as if offering a treasure.
There is a beautiful woman with a high volume next to the best woman, with big wavy curly hair, charming eyes like silk, very amorous. What an old man's daughter.
It's an acquaintance, Pan Huanting!
The woman was smiling and waving at her father, glancing at Ren Kai casually, but she was startled, then she giggled, threw down her companion, and walked over gracefully.
The old man was very relieved and said with a smile, "See, how is my child?" Young man, strange and cautious, he does not scatter eagles when he does not see rabbits. Not bad, not bad. ”
Ren Kai looked at Tong Jingsheng, who was a little stupid, and coughed dryly, before he could speak.
Pan Huanting had already come to him, put her hand on his shoulder without seeing it, and said with a smile, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Ren? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm getting younger and younger." This is my father, Lao Pan. ”
Lao Pan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Oh, Mr. Ren." Mr. Ren originally knew Wan Ting. It's a fate to meet thousands of miles away. Not bad, not bad. ”
Ren Kai glanced at the hand on his shoulder, stretched out his hand and smiled at the old man, "It turned out to be Uncle Pan, hello." How dare you call yourself 'total' in front of you. Call me by my name. Ren Kai. and Wan Ting had a relationship with them at their class reunion. With that, he shrugged his shoulders and avoided the woman's hand.
Lao Pan looked at his daughter, who was still staring at the man, snorted, and said with a smile, "You know me?"
Ren Kai smiled slightly and said to Tong Jingsheng, "Senior brother, Audi's earliest 4S store in Longcheng is the property of this Uncle Pan. Wealthy, but benevolent, several primary schools in Jingwu Mountain were funded by Uncle Pan. ”
When Tong Jingsheng heard this, his face turned straight, he stretched out his hand, and said, "Hello Boss Pan, I am Ren Kai's senior brother, and I look older, but I am actually not a few years older than him." Also, thank you for your contribution to the Jingmu area. ”
Lao Pan held one person in each hand, and said with a smile, "Your senior brother is a little interesting." ”
Pan Tingting is also a rough line, she didn't feel that Ren Kai intended to distance herself from her, raised her hand and patted his shoulder gently, and said with a smile, "You have a good outfit." Wantong bought it. Most people really don't have this vision. ”
Lao Pan frowned, hesitated, and asked, "Ji Wantong is your girlfriend?"
Ren Kai respects Lao Pan very much, and it is not good to fake, so he said vaguely, "We have a good relationship." ”
"This is Wantong's man?" asked the best woman with a smile as she led a few women to stand behind them.
"Sister Li, why are you here too?" Pan Huanting turned around and smiled, very enthusiastic.
Lao Pan actually stood up and said with a smile, "Miss Li is here, it's noisy outside, why don't you go to the house and sit?"
Sister Li smiled softly and said softly, "Uncle Pan is outside, how can I go in?" Seeing that you are chatting lively, I will come over and take a look, I won't disturb you." ”
Ren Kai squinted at her, just smiled politely, and didn't make a sound.
Tong Jingsheng was a little strange when he saw him like this, looked at the woman, and couldn't see anything strange, so he smiled and said, "How can you bother." When a beautiful woman comes to visit, she can't ask for it. ”
Lao Pan lowered his head and coughed dryly, and said with a smile, "These two were my previous customers, and they had a good relationship, so they became friends." Love to joke, Miss Li should not go to her heart. ”
Sister Li smiled slightly and said gently, "Don't worry." We often joke with friends. These friends, I want to sit with Uncle Pan and talk about them, I don't know if I can ......" said and looked at the rest of the people at the same table.
Those people were obviously reluctant to leave, they were about to start the banquet, there might not be a seat to leave here, and they didn't know her, so there was no need to give her this face, so they bowed their heads and pretended not to hear.
Sister Li smiled and said to a woman next to her, "Sannier, you go and lead these friends to the house for dinner." ”
Sannier responded with a smile and led a few shocked people away.
Sister Li's eyes wandered, and she slowly walked to the seat opposite Ren Kai and sat down, and said with a smile, "You haven't answered me yet, are you a Wantong man?"
Although Tong Jingsheng didn't know this woman, he saw that several people around him attached great importance to her, so he stopped making fun of her at will. Be careful, quietly observing her every move.
Ren Kai smiled honestly and said in a slurred manner, "Wantong man, everyone wants to be a man." It's up to her to decide whether she wants to or not. ”
Sister Li pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand and brushed the hair next to her ear, and said, "Don't be humble, a man like you is a little tempted even when I see it, let alone Wantong's girl." Yes, Master Ren. ”
Several people here, except for Ren Kai and Tong Jingsheng, changed color together. Especially Lao Pan, even his eyes were a little blue, and he glared at his daughter fiercely, it seems that if it weren't for Sister Li here, she would have brushed her sleeves away.
Ren Kai raised his eyelids and looked at her, and said lightly, "It's rare that Miss Li Chunfang has heard my bandits." Some were flattered. ”
Li Chunfang chuckled, her eyes wandered, and she said softly, "Ren is always a distinguished guest, but he is hidden here, which makes us sharp and uneasy." ”
Ren Kai looked at her, suddenly smiled, patted Tong Jingsheng's shoulder, and said, "His name is Tong Jingsheng, a native of Beijing." It is a real guest. Hehe. We are only here to fight the autumn wind, and there is nothing else to ask for. You are the protagonist, and I dare not force you to stay here to accompany you. ”
Li Chunfang looked at Tong Jingsheng, his face was a little solemn, he thought for a while, and said, "There are two real dragons in the small pond. For the sake of others, it would be more appropriate for me to stay here. Otherwise, the distinguished guest will be neglected. The birthday boy can't explain there. ”
Ren Kai smiled, nodded, and stopped making a sound.
The other people at the table listened to the two of them fighting, and their faces were dazed. Only Old Man Pan vaguely guessed some doorways, but he was like sitting on pins and needles, and he was even more unstable.
At this point, the seats are arranged and the food is served.
The banquet is quite real, the top of the hard dishes, the plate is full and big, and the wine is 30 years old Baifen, clear and intoxicating. Win a wave of admiration.
Since knowing Ren Kai's identity, Old Man Pan's attitude has cooled down, and his words have been perfunctory. However, Pan Huanting frequently toasted Ren Kai through her father, and later simply changed seats with her father and fought with Ren Kai.
"Wantong originally said that she was coming, but I don't know if she came. Calls are not answered. Didn't she tell you?" I didn't expect Pan Huanting to drink well, and she could still stay awake after a few glasses.
"Hehe, no. I happened to be passing by here, too, and I had an impromptu idea. Ren Kai knew that Li Chunfang was listening with his ears pricked up, and he didn't care.
The two were chatting for a while, and they saw Su Kaizhen coming from a distance.
"Mr. Ren, Kai Zhen borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, I wish you all the best. Please. Su Kaizhen smiled at Li Chunfang and Tong Jingsheng before he came closer, and then went straight to Ren Kai.
Ren Kai also stood up, clinked glasses with him, and leaned his neck to kill him.
"Minister Cha is in the field for a meeting. If Mr. Ren has something, Kai Zhen can help you convey it. Su Kaizhen held the cup and said with a smile on his face.
Except for Tong Jingsheng and Li Chunfang, the rest of them were stunned, even Old Man Pan was no exception.
"Hehe, Director Su, I was joking with Miss Li just now, the two of us just happened to be passing by, wanting to fight the autumn breeze and eat and drink. Absolutely nothing else. Ren Kai smiled and said casually.
"Oh, why don't you go inside......" Su Kaizhen's eyes flashed and he smiled.
"That's it. I've only heard of Caicun's noodles, but I haven't tasted them yet. Just give it a try today. Ren Kai waved his hand, as if refusing.
"That's right. Well, you use it slowly. I'll go somewhere else......" Su Kaizhen paused slightly, smiled and left.
Then it was two people and two women who came to toast.
Gao Wenjuan and Yu Wenjie.
"Mr. Ren, I heard that you are massive. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. In the future, I still need your support. The last cup, I'm dry, you feel free. These are Gao Wenjuan's words.
"Mr. Ren, I have admired my name for a long time. It's the first time I've been drinking. I will inevitably disturb you in the future, and I hope to bear with me. I'm dry with this cup. These are Yu Wenjie's words.
After the two women left, Li Chunfang's face also changed.
Ren Kai is still the same, light and light, he should eat and drink.
Pan Huanting next to her looked at him with a look of adoration, and thought to herself, "Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk flourished on the left and did not look instantly." "That's probably what it looks like.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, Ren Kai's face turned green.
Then she saw a very feminine woman.
Regardless of whether she admits it or not, in her heart, in terms of beauty, she should count Ji Wantong. can talk about femininity, Ji Wantong can't catch up with Li Chunfang when she pats the horse.
I didn't expect a mountain to be higher than a mountain, compared to the woman in front of her, Li Chunfang is also a piece of wood, at best a piece of wood full of feminine flavor.
A woman's smile is simply moving.
"Sister Yu, why did you come out?" Li Chunfang saw the woman coming over, and hurriedly greeted her, just like a maid meeting a young lady.
"Director Wen, long time no see. Tong Jingsheng also hurriedly got up and said with a smile.
The person who came was Wen Ruyu, who was dressed in formal clothes.
Wen Ruyu walked up to her, nodded to Li Chunfang and Tong Jingsheng, and said hello, so she looked at Ren Kai with a smile and said, "Have we not seen each other for a few days?" ”
Ren Kaiqiang laughed and said dryly, "Ruyu, it turns out that you are also here." What a coincidence. Ha ha. After laughing a few times, he found that there was no one around him who responded, so he coughed a few times and asked casually, "Have you seen Ding Jianguo?"
Wen Ruyu was stunned, and couldn't help but say, "See, he told me that you are here." Why? Didn't you meet it?"
Ren Kai and Tong Jingsheng looked at each other and asked in unison, "Where did he go?"
Wen Ruyu looked at the two of them in surprise, pointed to the distance, chuckled, and said, "This is a little strange, you are actually thinking about him." Isn't that Ding Jianguo?"
Ren Kai looked back and smiled. His eyes narrowed slowly.
