Sixty-six years ago, Chuan Li suffered an attack on Tu Zhong who killed Lu Nuxing. Fell ill in the Dashan Bigan Inn and was rescued by a passing famous doctor, whose name was He Qing, who was He Yuanzhi's grandfather. And the He family and the ancestors of the Xiao family are old friends, and the capital of Xiao Changfa's ancestors to do business is funded by Liu Li, which is what Liu Li himself and Xiao Yu told You Fang.

But Liu Li never mentioned who Mrs. Xiao was, but only mentioned He Yuanzhi's name when he told You Fang about the past in the Summer Palace. After You Fang learned about Xiao Yu's background, he inquired, and it turned out that Mrs. Xiao's name was He Yuanzhi, so she naturally knew it. But Liu Li didn't say anything, so he pretended to be confused. Today, Mrs. Xiao took the initiative to ask Master You Fang if he was an old man, and You Fang opened his mouth to call her Senior Brother He.

Mrs. Xiao is a woman, why does You Fang call her senior brother? According to the traditional rules of the rivers and lakes, if Mrs. Xiao is older than him, he can call him a junior sister, this is no problem, it is okay to call a junior brother, Mrs. Xiao is much older than him, and it is not wrong to call a senior sister, but it is more formal and respectful to call a senior brother, which has nothing to do with gender, but is just a ranking difference in the order of entry.

If it is a person of a longer generation, you can't just call it Aunt Shi or Aunt or something like that, and the formal occasion should be called Shi Bo or Shi Uncle, and Uncle Zhong Ji is the traditional order of eldest and youngest.

When You Fang opened his mouth, Mrs. Xiao was stunned, looking very happy and slightly excited: "You call me senior brother?" Did he mention me to you? The old man never officially accepted me as an apprentice, and I was not allowed to call him Master

You Fang smiled and said, "But you did receive ordination and learn art under your master, and now you have achieved good results, of course I should call you senior brother." The old man did mention your name and told me about your past, but he didn't tell me that you were Xiao Yu's mother, and I only found out after hearing your name.

But I don't know if Master has told you my identity, so I haven't picked it out or visited Dengdan, I hope you don't mind. ”

He Yuanzhi smiled, this time he was really happy and grinned: "The old man didn't tell me who you are, but I can't guess yet?" You are the heir of the mantle of the contemporary earth master, the next generation of earth qi masters of the Jianghu Fengmen, and the Mr. Rand on the rivers and lakes. Otherwise, how can I rest assured that Xiao Yu will go to you to mess around? I think I also ran away from home. Speaking of this, she asked in a slightly embarrassed whisper: "The old man mentioned me, didn't he say anything embarrassing about me back then, right?" ”

You Fang immediately shook his head and categorically denied: "No, of course not!" Master only said that you are very well-behaved and sensible, and you are very good at pleasing him. The two of them spoke interestingly, each using their own names, You Fang called Liu Li Master, and He Yuanzhi called Liu Li an old man. It seems that Liu Li's usual rules are quite strict. He didn't let He Yuanzhi call him master, and He Yuanzhi didn't dare to call behind his back.

He Yuanzhi showed a satisfied look at this time, and waved his hand: "Alas, I am not very good at greeting guests, why haven't you drunk tea all the time, please drink tea."

You Fang took a sip of the tea in front of him. He Yuanzhi asked, "How is this tea?" ”

You Fang simply replied twice. Words: "Small is not good."

He Yuanzhi immediately raised his head and said to the door: "Cui Ge, change tea!" and bring in the tea set. ”

What the two of them said just now was inaudible outside, and now He Yuanzhi's voice was not too loud, but it was very clear outside the gate. The girl named Cui Ge agreed, and after a short time, she pushed the door and walked in, holding a tea tray in her hand, and another girl named Zhu Lou followed with a tea pot and a kettle.

Looking at Cui Ge's expression, she seemed a little aggrieved, because the tea just now was brewed by herself. As for the tea, Mrs. Xiao asked them to bring it, naturally it is the best, the price in the world can be scared to death, people, and it is almost impossible to see it, a cup of tea can reach a table of ordinary restaurants, but You Fang only said the word "not good".

Then let's bubble again, Cui Ran was about to do it, but You Fang stood up and said with a smile: "Let me come, the first time we meet, and it is Xiao Yu's elder again, I should pour a cup of tea with my own hands."

You Fang said while fiddling with the kettle and pouring purple sand: "This kind of precious tongue, the fragrance of tea is extremely constricted, if it is not illegal, it is difficult to escape no matter how many brews and how many bubbles it is, and I think it is expensive and unreal." The watering pot should be long, thorough, and poured inside and outside, and then go to the hot water after it is full, and the whole pot of steam surrounds like fog and then put the tea. The flush should be urgent, do not wash, and be flushed instantly, and the fragrance of tea will come out. ”

You Fang didn't know how to know the tea ceremony, but after being nurtured by a lover in Hangzhou, Chufu, an elegant tour was also contaminated with a bit of fun, and did a little research. Of course, he learned this very quickly, and today he saw Cui Ge pouting a little aggrieved, so he naturally talked about this, his expression was gentle and did not mean to show off, but it seemed to be explaining for her.

You Fang brewed a pot and poured four cups, the first cup was naturally given to He Yuanzhi, the second cup was placed in front of him, and the other two cups were handed to Cui Ge and Zhu Lou respectively. The two girls were a little surprised, they didn't expect that there were still them, they glanced at Mrs. Xiao and said thank you and took it, their faces were a little red.

He Yuanzhi took a sip, and exclaimed slightly in his tone: "Sure enough, it's the best tea!" It is completely different from the tea brewed by Cui Ge just now, the same water and the same leaves, and it is really wonderful for people who do not rush out. Cui Ge, you have to study these fine things, stay by my side for a long time, don't always learn from me so roughly. ”

You Fang shook his head slightly and said: "This is not fine, too much in this branch will inevitably lose the mind, Mrs. Xiao is not a rough branch, just a straightforward temperament." These two girls have mastered the divine sense, and with the method of divine consciousness and material nature, there are many subtleties in the way of refining, and tea tasting is also one of them. ”

, Zhi asked with interest! , "Well, it makes sense, what is the expansion of the tea in the world:

You Fang glanced at the teapot and said, "Tea is not only delicious. And it can be appreciated, it would be a pity if this tea was brewed with purple sand, in fact, the white porcelain tea cup is even better. After brewing, you don't have to drink it for the time being, just enjoy its buds stretching, and the fragrance of tea will gradually improve after a while. ”

He Yuanzhi immediately beckoned: "Bring the white porcelain tea cup." Then go out. ”

There was not much time, Cui Ge and Zhu Lou came in with a white porcelain tea cup and put it down, and then closed the door and went out. You Fang poured the cup again, took the new tea leaves, and brewed two teas. This tea is completely stretched out in the water and is not more than one centimeter, but it is a young leaf with a fine bud, and does not sink to the bottom, and the roots are suspended in the water near the bottom of the cup, and the sharp buds are all pointed upwards, and there is no leaf deviation.

The buds and leaves are verdant, as if they are fresh and tender, and the tea soup is a faint golden amber color, and under the background of white porcelain and green leaves, it looks pale green with a little goose yellow. If you look closely, you can see countless tiny microbs that are barely visible to the naked eye floating in the water, like flying snow rolled up by the wind.

And this tea cup is also extraordinary, it is a typical white porcelain in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the whole body is white and moist, without any impurities and ornaments, the grapefruit is extremely uniform and the tire is very thin and translucent. Close the lid and look from the side. But it reveals a light yellow luster and a little green rhyme, which is the shadow of tea soup and tea leaves.

Such a cup of tea is not only drinking, it is indeed worth appreciating before drinking, this is the whole process of tasting tea, after a few minutes, You Fang picked up the tea cup and opened the lid, looking at the tea in the cup, a faint indescribable fragrance of tea permeated his nose, he smiled slightly and said: "Senior brother, taste tea." ”

He Yuanzhi took a sip and sighed: "It's really better to meet than to be famous, a cup of tea makes you taste so delicate, I didn't expect it before." Feel like you shouldn't be

You Fang raised his head and interrupted her, "You think I shouldn't be such a picky person?" I am not! I also learned this tea language from others, and it is not for the sake of extravagance and flashiness, nor does it have anything to do with the nobility of this tea. All things in the world have spirits, make the best use of them, don't storm them. Since there is such a good tea, you should brew it well and know how to taste it, otherwise it will be a pity. ”

He Yuanzhi smiled: "I see, no wonder you are very angry with the old man!" I just wondered, how could so many exquisite people who drank a cup of tea live comfortably in such an ordinary residential community? ”

You Fang said meaningfully: "Although Senior Brother is a straight-tempered person, but as Mrs. Xiao, you can't even drink such a cup of tea, right?" I asked a girl who is not very good at making tea to pour me tea, but even this white porcelain cup was prepared in advance, and asked me if the tea was good? ”

He Yuanzhi's little trick was told through. But he smiled indifferently: "I really want to test you, I am very curious about the heir of the mantle chosen by the old man, but you are beyond my expectations, I have never drunk such an elegant cup of tea!" "Xiao Yu must have learned a lot by your side, otherwise you wouldn't have to transfer to CUHK, and you still feel very comfortable." You Fang joked: "Where the earth master is located, can Feng Shui be bad?" Xiao Yu has learned a lot of things, and she made it for dinner yesterday. In order to prevent you from making trouble with me today, I apologized in advance. ”

He Yuanzhi was surprised: "I know that she learned to cook, did she do it all by herself?"

You Fang nodded: "Yes, buy vegetables, wash vegetables, cut vegetables, and cook vegetables, including cleaning up the table and washing dishes after meals." Of course, she doesn't have to do these things, but she can do it, and it does exercise a lot. ”

He Yuanzhi: "Chopping vegetables? Didn't cut your fingers?

You Fang smiled and shook his head: "No, even the spicy silk is cut very evenly, and the knife work is very good." It's just that the spicy scrambled eggs are a little scrambled, and they are in the pot early, but they also have a different flavor. "Senior brother, you specially invited me here today, I'm afraid it's not to ask if Master is okay, or to ask Xiao Yu what he cooked yesterday, right?"

Mrs. Xiao looked down at the tea cup and said, "I have three things to look for you today, the first is of course to talk about Xiao Yu, the old man knows that she is there for you, but what has he done?" ”

You Fang: "Of course there is an explanation, he wants me to take good care of her, but don't be polite if there is anything wrong, teach when you should teach, and point out what you should instruct, but don't bully her, don't beat her idea In the end, You Fang couldn't help but be happy again."

He Yuanzhi muttered: "This old man! ”

You Fang glared at him as if he was half surprised, and He Yuanzhi hurriedly explained: "Just kidding, don't tell the old man that I call him that behind my back."

You Fang waved his hand: "Actually, I also call Master Old Man behind my back." ”

He Yuanzhi pursed his lips and was happy: "It's rare to see an old man as energetic as him, it's just too young."

You Fang also followed suit: "Yes, it's better than a young man, who dares to say that he is an old man." ”

He Yuanyi waved his hand: "Okay, let's not look for a round behind our backs to say good things, I want to ask you, look at Xiao Yu" Will she be a person who can do big business in the future? ”

You Fang was slightly stunned: "Do business? Xiao Yu's temper may not be suitable for working hard in the business and political circles like her father. But why should you worry about that? Inheriting the family business does not necessarily need to inherit the father's business, the wealth you left behind is enough for her to enjoy for several lifetimes, wouldn't it be better to make her happy in this life? ”

He Yuanzhi sighed: "You are a reasonable person, I think so from a selfish point of view, but don't you know the identity and mission of the Xiao family?" ”

The body of the Xiao family. You Fang really didn't know, he looked at He Yuan with the tea animal! Waiting for the listeners, Dog Liuxiao Yuanzhi took a sip of tea, turned his face to look out the window, and said: "The ancestor of the Xiao family is the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, although Xiao Changfa is the chairman of the board of directors of the Xiao Enterprise Group, he himself is only the second largest shareholder. The largest shareholder is a Swiss trust fund, and the owner of the trust is the contemporary geographer Liu Lita.

The Xiao family owns 40% of the group's shares, the money was given by the old man for free, and the other 60% of the shares of the old man never asked, everything is run by the Xiao family itself, and his only requirement is to run this industry well and pass it on to the next generation of local masters. You are the only heir to the trust in Switzerland, and you are also the largest shareholder of the Shaw Group in the future, the real behind-the-scenes controller.

The Xiao family can have all this today, thanks to the arrangement of the old man back then, and the task is to protect an industry for the next generation of local masters, so as to facilitate the future actions on the rivers and lakes. But the old man has not set a mantle for so many years, and he has waited until now, and the head of the Xiao Group has passed into the hands of Changfa, and he is already the third generation. These Xiao Yu are not clear, and only me and Chang Fa know about the Xiao family, and the rest of the people only think that the largest shareholder of the Xiao Group is an overseas trust, but the Xiao family has always been in charge. Didn't the old man tell you?.

You Fang shook his head and said, "No, when I was apprenticing. He told me that he had already scattered all his wealth, and that he had given me a mountain villa not long ago, only to say that he still had some money in his hand, but I didn't expect his old man to have such a big ambush

He Yuanzhi: "It's true that the family wealth is scattered, but the old man just scattered all the gold and silver treasures on hand, but forgot about the deposits and securities of Swiss banks. "Is this the first time you've heard of this?"

You Fang nodded and said, "Yes, if you don't say it, I don't know." ”

He Yuanzhi squinted his eyes and stared at him: "Your expression hasn't changed at all." ”

You Fang smiled: "First, I'm not the next generation of earth masters, and second, it's not that I haven't seen money, and I'm not so shocked that although I said it easily, I was really shocked in my heart, what a huge banquet this is, it will belong to him in the future, and the old man's ambush is too scary!"

He Yuanzhi: "You are really determined, maybe you are already crazy if you change someone." You should also understand what I mean, the Xiao family guards the property for the local master, if Xiao Yu inherits the Xiao Group in the future, do you think she is appropriate? I'm afraid I will live up to the trust of the past generations! ”

You Fang said indifferently: "When I was apprenticing, I didn't know these things at all, and I didn't think about it. Master, his old man is far-sighted, and he wants to pass on a legacy to support the next generation of earth masters, in fact, it is the same for me. Even if he doesn't have a penny for me, I will consider accumulating it and passing it on to the next generation of earth masters, so I want to build that investment company. I have no objection. As for the Xiao Group, don't forget that the old man is still alive, and I want him to live a long life. And Mr. Xiao Changfa is also in the prime of life, and it is still very early to talk about retirement, and it is really in the future that Xiao Yu is not good at management, and he can also hire professional managers. As long as she is comfortable, why should you and I force this? Thinking too much, really thinking too much! ”

He Yuanzhi: "You can be very open-minded, but I can't think of these from the perspective of the Xiao family." I'm glad you call me Senior Brother, but the old man told me not to call him Master, so I didn't dare to call you Senior Brother. , by the way, You Fang, the old man really didn't mean to propose marriage when he led Xiao Yu to you at the beginning? small

You Fang hurriedly shook his head: "No, really not, I never thought much about it." ”

He Yuanzhi sighed softly again: "You are a gentleman of etiquette, of course I know this. My daughter I know that she probably has ideas herself, and there are some things that no one can say

You Fang lowered his head and watched the tea leaves in the cup levitate into a beautiful pattern, pretending not to hear this. Seeing that he didn't answer, Mrs. Xiao looked out the window and said to herself: "Xiao Yu is the only daughter of the Xiao family after all, if she marries in the old era, she must also be in the main room." As for the present day and age. The law already stipulates it, of course, it should be a formal couple, and her temper is similar to mine, I'm afraid I can't stand other grievances

You Fang couldn't take it anymore, so he could only continue to pretend that he didn't hear it, and after being silent for a while, he raised his head and interrupted: "Senior brother has three things to do with me, and what about the other two?" ”

Didn't hear You Fang's answer, He Yuanzhi seemed to be a little disappointed, and paused before saying: "Two things have already been discussed, the Xiao Group and Xiao Yu's girl, as for the third thing, it is the purpose of my hurry to see you today, your friend Chi Zhongwu was kidnapped yesterday."

"Huh?" You Fang immediately put the tea cup in his hand on the table, almost didn't break this precious Hongzhi white porcelain, and asked a little eagerly: "Senior brother, you are really calm, wait until now to say."

He Yuanyi waved his hand: "It's useless for you to be anxious, the person was kidnapped yesterday morning, the kidnapper leader is a character, he went directly to the Chi Mansion to visit politely, and asked Chi Jiasheng to discuss the conditions for the release of the person face to face, the old man not only did not report the case for the safety of his grandson, but also instructed the Chi family not to leak the news to the outside world, the conditions have been negotiated, if nothing happens, Chi Zhongwu will be able to go home the day after tomorrow."

You Fang squinted his eyes and asked, "What conditions did the Chi family agree to the kidnappers?" ”

He Yuanzhi: "50 million Hong Kong dollars to cheat gold." Plus a crown! ”
