Chapter 849: Chatting at the Wine Table
"Fang Yi, it's been nearly a year, where have you been?"
After the two chatted about family affairs for a while, Bai Chuxia still asked this question. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I don't know where it is. Fang Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, he didn't want to deceive Bai Chuxia, but the affairs he was exposed to during that time were really not something that Bai Chuxia could understand, and Fang Yi didn't know what to say.
"We should be in a space-time tunnel or something. ”
Fang Yi pondered his words and said: "Although there is air there, it is very barren and uninhabited, if it weren't for some plants, I'm afraid that my eldest brother and I would have starved to death a long time ago, and then it was a coincidence that we escaped from there." ”
Speaking of the half a year spent in the mysterious space, Fang Yi was really a little afraid, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of aura left in the teleportation array, I was afraid that they would have to be trapped in it for the rest of their lives, for such a dangerous situation, Fang Yi felt that he would still be less involved in subtlety in the future.
Of course, Fang Yi's harvest was also huge, although there was no aura to support their cultivation, but the complete ancient qi refining inheritance could allow them to truly get in touch with the world of qi refiners, not to mention anything else, the cultivation techniques of the innate realm alone would benefit Fang Yi and the others immensely.
"Is there such a place on earth?" Listening to Fang Yi's words, Bai Chuxia's eyes showed a look of surprise, "This should be another dimensional space, right?" Fang Yi, your luck is really good, you can have such an experience. ”
"Luck?"
Fang Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, although there was no danger in that space, but the kind of isolation and loneliness after the aura disappeared was unbearable for ordinary people, if it wasn't for Fang Yi and the three of them to enter together, I am afraid that they would really be driven crazy by the environment there.
"You were in a very dangerous situation, if you hadn't entered there, you might have ......"
Bai Chuxia's words did not continue, although Wei Mingcheng hid a lot of things from her, but as a person working in the national security department, Bai Chuxia still found out what happened in Cambodia through his own channels.
"Actually, even if I didn't get there, they wouldn't be able to help me. Fang Yi shook his head and entered the river, he and Peng Bin wanted Long Wanda to be safe, as long as they swam a few hundred meters along the river, those mercenaries would not have the slightest way to take them.
"Fang Yi, don't go to those dangerous places in the future. Bai Chuxia took Fang Yi's hand and said softly, "You don't know how worried I was at the time, but I have confidence in you, and I believe that you won't die like this." ”
It is also strange to say, Bai Chuxia really has a confidence in Fang Yi that he doesn't know where it came from, after Wei Mingcheng informed her that Fang Yi was likely to be killed, Bai Chuxia still firmly believed that Fang Yi was still alive, and waited until Fang Yi called her.
"Don't worry, early summer, as long as I don't want to die, no one in this world can let me die. ”
Hearing Bai Chuxia's words, Fang Yi's heart was moved, and the feeling of being cared for and concerned made him know that he would have an extra responsibility in this world in the future, that is, to take care of the girl around him and grow old hand in hand with her.
Marriage and family and cultivation exercises are actually not in conflict in Fang Yi's opinion, because there is no spiritual energy on the earth anymore, it is the same wherever you cultivate, and those few spirit stones in your hand can also allow Fang Yi to cultivate for a long time after advancing to the next stage.
"Boast and say big things!"
Regarding Fang Yi's words, Bai Chuxia gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "You still have to think about how to get past my family's level, I can tell you, if my father and my grandfather don't agree, I won't marry you!"
"You mean, as long as they agree, I don't have to propose?" Fang Yi looked at Bai Chuxia with a smile on his face, he liked the girl's straightforward personality very much, which made people feel very comfortable getting along with.
"Virtue, let's settle my dad and grandpa first. ”
Bai Chuxia was not pretentious, but acquiesced to Fang Yi's statement, after she joined the work, she found out how painful the identity of a single girl was, whether it was those men with male hormones bursting, or the enthusiastic everyone in the office, it would bring her a lot of pressure on marriage issues.
"Then what does our grandfather like?" Fang Yi asked, since it was the old man's birthday, he must give an object that the old man loved, not to mention anything else, this impression score is still very important.
"My grandfather is very easy to do, he is more fond of painting, although the level is not very good, but he likes to leave a mark on his paintings, and often says that he wants to make a good seal......
Bai Chuxia had obviously thought about this question a long time ago, and said at the moment: "Fang Yi, you can ask for two seals from Mr. Yu for grandpa, one with the name of grandpa's study, and the other with grandpa's words, Mr. Yu is a domestic Jinshi family, grandpa will definitely like it." ”
"Ask the teacher for a seal?" Fang Yi's expression was a little strange.
"What's wrong? Your own teacher won't even give you this face, right?"
Seeing Fang Yi's expression, Bai Chuxia stopped her chopsticks, although she was talking in her mouth, it didn't delay her to enjoy the food at all, on the contrary, Fang Yi didn't eat much, a few dishes were tasted lightly, and the appetite was already very light for Fang Yi, but Fang Yi was still quite satisfied with the old man's craftsmanship.
The private dishes of the Wang family, although they are all home-cooked dishes, but the ingredients used are very different from ordinary people, take the first kidney flower just now, it is the fresh pork loin that Wang Tianliang personally went to the place where the pigs were slaughtered in the countryside to collect, and they were brought back with freezing along the way, so the freshness of the ingredients also enhanced the taste of the dishes.
"It's not that the teacher doesn't give me face. ”
Fang Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "But the teacher's seal is engraved by me, instead of asking me to ask for the teacher's seal, it is better for me to engrave two seals for my grandfather, make sure grandpa likes it." ”
"Can you carve it yourself?"
Bai Chuxia knew that Fang Yi had the ability to carve seals, and the jade plate she was hanging on her body was from Fang Yi's hand, but Bai Chuxia didn't know much about this knowledge, and she still felt that famous things could be handled.
"Don't worry, the old man will definitely like it. ”
Fang Yi laughed confidently, not to mention Yu Xuan, even Qin Haichuan of the Palace Museum and Li Jingyang, another master of antiques and miscellaneous items, have asked him for a seal, it can be said unceremoniously that Fang Yi's kung fu of carving gold and stone seals is no one in China.
"Okay, if you carve it well, grandpa will definitely like it. ”
Bai Chuxia's eyes showed a look of joy, just as in the Wei family, it was the old man Wei who had the final say, in the Bai family, the big things were still decided by the old lady of the Bai family, who was over eighty years old, as long as Bai Chuxia's grandfather liked Fang Yi, then some problems would not be a problem.
"The old man's matter is solved, then what do your parents like?" Fang Yi pondered that the first time he came to the door, he always had to bring something to the future Taishan mother-in-law, Fang Yi was not all to please them, but out of politeness.
"My dad? He likes to play Go the most. ”
Bai Chuxia pursed his lips and said: "Chess is not very good, and I look for someone to play all day long, I am not happy to lose, and I win and say that others let him, you must not play chess with him when you go home, you can be tortured to death, as for my mother, she likes some jade jewelry, and she likes jade in the past two years......"
"Your mother's preferences are easy to do, but your father's is a little troublesome, I want to find a way. ”
Fang Yi scratched his head when he heard this, Bai Mu's matter is easy to solve, he still has a lot of jade rough stones in his house in Jinling, just go back and call and ask the fat man to bring a piece, but although Fang Yi can play Go, he can't go to Bai's house to accompany him to play chess, right?
"It's my grandfather's birthday, not theirs, you don't have to bring so many gifts. Although Bai Chuxia said so, he was still very happy about Fang Yi's carefulness.
"There's still three days, there's time, I'll worry about it. Fang Yi smiled and waved his hand, and when he wanted to continue, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and when he picked it up, it was Wei Mingcheng calling.
"Brother Wei, what's the matter?" Fang Yi picked up the phone.
"The accommodation is arranged for you, next to the Temple of Heaven Park, it is a private club, the environment is very good, and the access is convenient. ”
Wei Mingcheng's voice came from the phone, "Call me when you're almost done eating, I'll pick you up, if you have anything, arrange for me to do it, grandma, I'm really going to become your nanny." ”
Wei Mingcheng's voice was full of resentment, because Liu Daguang told him a thousand times just now, he must serve Fang Yi well, this is his most important work in the Hidden Group, and it is also an important test of whether he can become a full member of the Hidden Group.
So although he was very unhappy in his heart, Wei Mingcheng still called Fang Yi, at this time he was comforting himself in his heart, for the rank of major general before the age of thirty, let alone being a nanny for Fang Yi, even if he asked Fang Yi to be a security guard, Wei Mingcheng could also be willing to give up this face.
"Brother Wei, you are still busy with your going, I will tell Song Lao and them tomorrow. ”
Fang Yi could hear the reluctance in Wei Mingcheng's words, he could understand it, no matter what he said, Wei Mingcheng was now also a colonel, and he was equipped with guards and clerks in the army, and now that there was a sudden change of role, he would definitely not get used to it.
"Don't mind, don't, you're smashing my job!" Hearing Fang Yi's words, Wei Mingcheng was almost anxious, because Liu Daguang said that if Fang Yi didn't use him, then the hidden group could only give him a peripheral establishment, but he couldn't become a full member.
"Yes, Ming'er, I'm really in trouble, so come here. Fang Yi laughed when he heard this, although he had been to the capital a few times, he was not familiar with the capital, and it was useless to have a free driver and guide.
"I know, I live in the same place with you, and I'll pull you where you're going tomorrow. Wei Mingcheng replied unhappily and hung up the phone, he felt very hurt in his heart, and he had a few people to drink a little wine to comfort himself.
"Fang Yi, what's wrong with my brother?"
After Fang Yi hung up the phone, Bai Chuxia looked at him with a puzzled expression, although she didn't hear the conversation on the confidential phone, but from Fang Yi's language, Bai Chuxia still heard something, and her cousin seemed to have something to ask for Fang Yi.
"Brother Wei wants to enter a department, but that department is more difficult to enter, and he is struggling. Fang Yi didn't say anything about the hidden group, not that he deliberately concealed it, but that he wanted to tell Bai Chuxia these things step by step in the future.
"And the department that my brother can't get into?"
Bai Chuxia was more and more surprised, she naturally knew the status of the Wei family in the domestic military system, but it was precisely because she knew Bai Chuxia that she was surprised, with her grandfather's influence, even if Wei Mingcheng wanted to enter the government system, it was a matter of one sentence.
"That department is special, and your grandfather can't speak. ”
Fang Yi still didn't say the name of the hidden group, but Bai Chuxia understood a little, because when she was working in national security, she had also heard of some special departments, but with her authority, she couldn't see the specific situation of those departments at all.
"My grandfather can't speak, can you speak?" Bai Chuxia was a little disapproving, in her opinion, that is, her grandfather has retired, and if he is in office, he will definitely be able to play a role.
"Coincidentally, I can really speak. Fang Yi smiled.
"Boom, you just. ”
Bai Chuxia glared at Fang Yi, how long has it been, the little Taoist priest who had just come down from the mountain actually learned to be flamboyant, Bai Chuxia remembered that when he first met Fang Yi, he sometimes blushed when he talked to himself.
Seeing that Fang Yi didn't want to say it, Bai Chuxia didn't continue to ask, anyway, Wei Mingcheng was also in the capital, and he would definitely go to his grandfather's birthday, so he would just ask in person when the time came.
"By the way, in early summer, you have a snack on the house, and it is not comfortable to stay in a hotel when you come to the capital. ”
Fang Yi has lived in the Taoist temple since he was a child, although it is broken, but it is Fang Yi's home, after coming out of the Taoist temple, he lived in the Manjun family, Fang Yi has not been very used to it, until he bought Zhao Hongtao's house, he felt at home again.
Fang Yi knew that after he met Bai Chuxia's elders, the capital would definitely be the place where he wanted to live for a long time, so he hoped to buy a house as soon as possible.
"Xiaofang, do you want to buy a house?"
As soon as Fang Yi's words fell, Wang Tianliang walked in from outside, Fang Yi and Bai Chuxia chatted while eating at this meal, the time to eat was not short, the guests who ate in the front yard had already left at this time, Wang Tianliang could find time to come over to accompany him.
"Uncle Wang, I may have to live in the capital for a long time in the future, and it will be more convenient to buy a house. Seeing Wang Tianliang come in, Fang Yi hurriedly stood up and sat him down.
"It's good to buy a house, as the saying goes, you can live in peace to be happy, and the house in the capital has a price a day, and it is better to buy early than late. The old man also entered the house, and when he saw the wine on the table, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said, "Young man, don't you like to drink?
"Old man, just taste it. Fang Yi smiled, although the wine was good, it was made from whole grains after all, Fang Yi stopped after drinking a few small glasses just now.
"Yes, dawn, since this wine is opened, it can't be sealed anymore, let's drink it." Old man Wang didn't force Fang Yi, he beckoned his son to drink it at the moment, Wang Tianliang went to the kitchen and served a stack of fried peanuts, and the two of them drank the peanuts with a good taste.
"Xiao Fang, the house in the capital is not cheap, where do you want to buy it?" Wang Tianliang accompanied his father to drink, and did not snub Fang Yi, he remembered that Fang Yi had mentioned the house just now.
"I want to buy it near the Forbidden City, the one in Houhai is good, and it can also be here. ”
Fang Yi walked everywhere, he would habitually look at the local feng shui, and coming to the capital was of course no exception, when he went to the Forbidden City for the first time, he found that this is the place where the dragon veins converge, and the feng shui of the whole capital is naturally the best location centered on the Forbidden City.
"It's all a courtyard here. ”
Wang Tianliang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "Don't you young people like to live in buildings?
"Uncle Wang, the courtyard is down-to-earth, I like this kind of place. Fang Yi replied with a smile, the building has the convenience of the building, but from the perspective of feng shui, living in a building is far worse than living in a bungalow, because the earth can also nourish people.
"The courtyard house is not suitable, and it is too expensive to buy now. Wang Tianliang shook his head again and again, and said: "Seven or eight years ago, a set of courtyard houses here could be bought for only three or four hundred thousand, do you know how much it is now?"
"I don't know, how much is it?" Fang Yi asked.
"Dad, Professor Zhang's house a few days ago, do you want to sell it?"
Wang Tianliang looked at his father, he said that Professor Zhang used to be a teacher at Tsinghua University, and the house in his family was also handed down from his ancestors, but Professor Zhang's daughter went abroad in the eighties, and his son also went out a few years ago.
"Well, Xiao Zhang's house is for sale, but the price is a bit outrageous. ”
The old man nodded and said: "His yard is not small, the front, middle and back three courtyards add up to thousands of square meters, it used to be a **** residence in the capital, but the price of Xiao Zhang is too high, I think he wants to use this money to buy a house for his son abroad." ”
The Wang family is the old household of this place, their quadrangle house was bought from a down-and-out Belle master in the early Republic of China, when it cost two small yellow croaker, although after the liberation had lived with people for a period of time, but later the implementation of the policy, the house was also returned to them.
Mr. Wang was born here, he is very familiar with the surrounding environment, needless to say, the neighbors naturally know who lives in this courtyard area.
As for Professor Zhang in Wang Tianliang's mouth, he is naturally a little Zhang in the old man's mouth, because he is an old man who grew up watching from a young age, and he is left alone in the Zhang family, as early as a few years ago, the old man heard him say that he wanted to sell this big yard.
Now that his son and daughter are going abroad, it seems that his son is still reaching out to ask him for money to buy a house, where is the pension of Professor Zhang, who has been a teacher all his life, is enough, and Professor Zhang, who originally intended to sell the house, put the house out.
"How much is that?" Fang Yi asked, why did the two of them have such a temper, and they didn't say the amount for a long time.
"Thirty million, a fixed price, and I don't care about the cost of transfer. The old man took a sip of wine and smacked his mouth, although he was also a person who had seen the world, but he still felt a little difficult to accept this price.
"It's a bit high, seven or eight years ago, the courtyard here could be bought for five or six hundred thousand sets, and the price rose too outrageously. ”
Wang Tianliang echoed his father's words, and now the housing price in the best area of the capital is more than 10,000 yuan, but this dilapidated courtyard house is several times higher than the price, Wang Tianliang really doesn't understand it.
"Uncle, this courtyard is a scarce resource, and it will become more and more expensive in the future. Bai Chuxia's family also lives in a courtyard, she has a lot of feelings for such an environment, and when she heard that someone wanted to sell a courtyard, Bai Chuxia was a little tempted.
And Bai Chuxia knew that in the planning of the capital, many courtyard areas were to be demolished, and only a small part of the surrounding area of the Forbidden City could be retained.
"Early summer, why don't we take a look at the house, and if you like it, buy it." ”
Fang Yi pondered for a moment, he was not short of money, there were 10 million US dollars in the card that was confiscated by Bai Chuxia on the table just now, but Fang Yi had to see how the feng shui of the house was, these were all centuries-old mansions, and the feng shui would change over time, so Fang Yi would only decide whether to buy it or not after reading it.
