Chapter Twenty-Six: Secretive
The car was filled with murderous aura, Wu Ming in the passenger seat was like a pins and needles, and he didn't dare to let go of his fart, for fear of angering the driver Tang Yuyan and causing the car to lose control.
Speechless all the way, the Hummer drove into the compound of the military region, and drove all the way to the outside of the courtyard of the old mansion of the Tang family, the two got out of the car, Wu Ming carried a large stack of gifts, ginseng, deer antlers, bird's nests, etc., all of which were things that could make up for the death of people who were not replenished.
The two entered the front yard and pushed open the closed hall door, there were four middle-aged and elderly men with solemn expressions sitting in the front hall, the head of the Tang family sat under the plaque of the mirror in the middle, and on the mahogany chairs on both sides sat Tang Yuyan's father and two uncles respectively. Wu Ming secretly wiped his sweat, I don't know if I can go back with all my beard and tail today?
"Close the door."
Wu Ming, who had just entered the door, quietly stood on tiptoe and whispered, "Why do you want to close the door?" ”
"Aren't you cold?"
I was shocked, I thought I was going to close the door and let Tang Ma Ma go! Wu Ming looked dumbfounded, turned around and closed the door before he walked up to Old Man Tang with a gift, and said with a flattering smile: "This is a little bit of a junior heart." ”
Old Man Tang's eyelids lifted, and he said disdainfully: "You brought such a thing when you came to see the elders?" ”
As the host, if the guest comes to the door with a gift, the host will either sincerely or hypocritically politely say, 'Come on, bring something', this old boy is good, bluntly said too little, Wu Ming rolled his eyes.
"Have you had lunch?"
"Nope."
"Let's go to the back hall for dinner first."
"Okay."
Wu Ming answered and put down the gifts, followed Tang Yuyan into the side door and walked to the backyard, as soon as they left, the four middle-aged and elderly men who pretended to be deep immediately got up to check the gifts brought by Wu Ming, and the old man disappeared cleanly.
"Yo! Old ginseng has a long history. ”
"Tsk, the antler velvet is also in good condition."
"The stinky boy is quite generous, these things add up to an estimated cost of twenty or thirty thousand."
Old Man Tang spoke: "Hmph! A bodyguard with an annual salary of one million, if he can't even afford to give this little thing, wouldn't it be too picky? ”
It's talking about Cao Cao here, Cao Cao has already entered the backyard dining room, except for the nanny, I haven't seen anyone else, Tang Yuyan's mother, aunt and aunt are gone, Wu Ming is secretly strange in his heart, isn't he going to hold a criticism meeting? Why are people not together?
A steamed fish, a plate of minced meat and sauerkraut, a plate of white flour steamed buns, lunch reached the well-off level, two people sat down, the nanny served the meal and left, no one spoke, directly moved chopsticks.
Tang Yuyan tore a piece of steamed bread and put it in her mouth, then picked up a little fish meat with chopsticks, and before she could put it in her mouth, she first covered her mouth and retched, "Vomit...... This fish is so fishy. ”
"Fishy?" Wu Ming took a little fish meat and put it in his mouth, smacked his mouth and said, "Why don't I feel fishy?" Don't you usually eat fish? ”
"Eat, I'm going to vomit......" Tang Yuyan covered his mouth and rushed into the kitchen sink, retching again, "vomiting ......"
"Are you alright?" Wu Ming hurriedly stepped forward and patted her on the back.
Tang Yuyan waved his hand away and slapped Wu Ming's hand, and said coldly: "Don't worry about it." ”
The corners of Wu Ming's mouth hooked, and he said jokingly: "Are you still angry with me?" Because I messed up your engagement ceremony? ”
"Humph!" After Tang Yuyan rinsed his mouth and washed his hands, he turned to look at Wu Ming and asked seriously, "Do you really like men?" ”
"What do you say?" Wu Ming didn't answer directly, he picked up Tang Yuyan's wet little hand, blew a breath of hot air, and said with a smile: "Don't freeze your hands." ”
The man's broad big hand wrapped the woman's white and tender little hand, and the warm feeling spread from the hand to the heart, a smile appeared in Tang Yuyan's eyes, and the smile quickly turned into shyness, she felt that a thief hand quietly climbed up her hips, saying that Ruan Nan was a friend, she might still believe it, but if you want to say that Wu Ming is a friend, she doesn't believe it, even if all the women in the world are dead, Wu Ming will only fall in love with his own hand.
The two returned to the table, and after removing the fish, Tang Yuyan's appetite was not bad, they ate quietly, although they did not speak, they made frequent eye contact.
"By the way, you have to ask your grandfather to eat the supplements I bought just now."
"Why?"
Wu Ming blinked and said ambiguously: "The ones I buy are all big tonics, if men eat too much, women can't stand it." ”
Tang Yuyan's face flushed, and he said angrily: "What about women eating too much?" ”
"Of course men can't stand it."
"What if both men and women eat too much?"
"The bed can't stand it."
“…………”
When a pair of enemies were fighting each other, Tang Kedi walked into the dining room, and saw the two of them frowning, flirting and scolding unscrupulously, he shook his head secretly, they were all women's majors, and he was really not wrong at all.
"Ahem......"
"Dad."
"Uncle Tang."
Tang Kedi pushed his glasses and said slowly: "Young man, do you know how to play mahjong?" ”
"A little."
"It'll be fine, come and play two laps with us."
…………
…………
Wu Ming has never played mahjong in the capital, I don't know the specific rules, Tang Kedi told him in detail, there are eats, touches, bars, seals, Hu, Tianhu, Hu, ground, Hu, interception, fart, Hu, deception, Hu, a dragon, a green color, a pair of Hu, a pair of Hu, a pair of sizes, seven pairs, three yuan, four joys, five blessings, six or six shun......
There are many rules, but the overall style of play has not changed, and each set only plays ten yuan, purely entertainment, playing a day to lose a few hundred thousand is considered to be the top of the sky, take a broken bowl to squat at the gate of the park for a day may not be more than this number.
The gambling players include Tang Yaoguang, the old man of the Tang family in the elderly group, and the players in the middle-aged group are Tang Kedi and Tang Yuyan's uncle Tang Shengdi, Wu Ming, a player in the youth group, and Tang Lidi, the uncle of the referee Tang Yuyan, Tang Yuyan is a spectator and cheerleader.
At the beginning of the game, after touching two rounds of cards, Tang Yuyan, who was sitting next to Old Man Tang and watching the game, pointed excitedly, "Grandpa, hit this, hit this." ”
"Okay, listen to my granddaughter once, ninety thousand."
As soon as the card landed, Wu Ming clapped the case and shouted: "I'm nonsense." ”
Old Man Tang knocked Tang Yuyan's head and scolded with a smile: "Little girl, dare to go undercover." ”
Tang Yuyan pouted and muttered, "I didn't mean to. ”
played more than a dozen rounds, each with wins and losses, everyone's cards are not bad, only the old man Tang, who has not opened his beard, has a bad face.
"Huh."
"Huh! You bastard is your father, I'm Rinima. ”
Hearing this, I knew that Old Man Tang was irrational, Wu Ming secretly snickered, the temper of this powder keg is really explosive at the slightest fire, Tang Yuyan's little temper should have been inherited from him.
After playing cards for a few hours, the old man Tang, who lost the worst, kept scolding, but he didn't flip the table, Wu Mingrong was not shocked, he was the biggest winner, of course, he only won a few hundred yuan.
After dinner, the two young men left first.
The Hummer drove out of the military compound, Wu Ming touched his nose, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what are the elders of the Tang family playing? Yesterday, I disturbed the engagement banquet of the Ruan and Tang families, thinking that today I was calling over to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, but I just called him over to play cards and eat, and didn't ask anything.
"What are you thinking?"
Wu Ming blurted out: "I'm wondering if your grandfather is sick?" ”
Tang Yuyan said angrily: "You are sick." ”
"It's not!" Wu Ming smiled awkwardly and said, "I mean, what the hell are they thinking?" It seems that the thinking is different from that of normal people. ”
"What's the difference?"
"Don't you think it's strange? Yesterday I messed up your engagement ceremony, they should be very angry, why didn't they say a word about yesterday? ”
Tang Yuyan tilted his head and said suspiciously: "When you say this, I also think it's strange, grandpa has a hot temper, if it had been before, he would have asked someone to break your legs." ”
"Strange, right?" Wu Ming looked at Tang Yuyan sideways, and said with a smile: "Could it be that they pretended to be deaf and dumb because you and I have a leg?" ”
"What do you mean by having a leg?" Tang Yuyan looked ashamed and said, "But one thing is for sure, they don't hate you too much. ”
"Shall I say that it is an honor?"
What are the elders of the Tang family thinking? The two young people really couldn't figure it out, Wu Ming stabbed a big basket, and the people of the Tang family actually ignored it, just called people to play cards and eat, except for the nerves, there seemed to be no reasonable explanation.
At the same time, the hall of the Tang family's old mansion was still brightly lit, and the Tang family's father and son were comfortably drinking hot tea and sipping melon seeds......
"Dad, how's it going? What do you see again? ”
"Playing cards today, that kid won the most, right?"
"Yes."
Old man Tang said faintly: "The eagle is like sleeping, the tiger is like a disease, the intelligence is not revealed, the talent is not reckless, the party has the strength to shoulder the shoulder, don't look at this kid when he is hanging, lack of stability, if he is serious, he is actually a person who can do great things." ”
"Is wisdom foolish?"
Old Man Tang nodded, and said: "Hiding clumsy in clumsy, using obscurity, clear in turbidity, bending for stretching, really involved in the world, hiding in the three caves, this kid is very deep, he will play clumsy to the fullest, as a whole, will always make people despise him, and finally catch his way." ”
Tang Lidi also nodded in approval, and praised: "The edge is introverted, hidden deeply, and knows the way to protect oneself, such a young man is indeed rare." ”
"However, this stinky boy has a bad stomach, he is very respectful to us on the surface, but in his heart he may scold us old boy?"
"That's right!" Old Man Tang was angry again, and snorted: "Winning the money of the elders actually won a smile, what a stinky boy who owes it." ”
"Who is better between him and Xiao Ruan?"
"In terms of vision and business acumen, this kid is far behind, he is stronger than Xiao Ruan only in terms of force value and character, Xiao Ruan's temperament is too gentle, but the Ruan family is friends with us, Xiao Ruan's family background is innocent, this kid's background is too complicated."
"There is also a relationship between men and women, this kid is also more complicated than Xiao Ruan."
"Almost everything that can be investigated has been clarified, who are we going to pick?"
"We grew up watching Xiao Ruan and know what kind of person he is, this Wu Ming we haven't figured out yet."
"If this kid is willing to give up his job as a bodyguard and devote himself to the development of the army, if we take care of him more, he has a bright future."
Old Man Tang said finally: "Okay, let's wait for the turmoil caused by this kid to subside before we talk about who to pick, we will continue to observe this kid now, I think it's interesting to tease him." ”
No matter how you change seventy-two times, we will respond to all changes with the same, no matter how powerful Sun Wukong is, he can't escape from the palm of his hand, and several middle-aged and elderly men laughed secretly.
