iv Chi Yang told Ma Liang about his own affairs as it was, and invited Ma Liang to go to England to help him at the dinner table......

After a little thought, Ma Liang politely refused. 【Reading.com】

He said: "I'm sorry uncle, I can't help with this favor, you look down on me, in fact, I have only learned the traditional easy-to-learn knowledge of China, and I know a little bit about the Taoist magic of China, and I don't know anything about witchcraft in Britain, since I don't understand, let alone break witchcraft."

"Oh, that's it......"

Chi Yang sighed a little disappointed, but he didn't express obvious dissatisfaction, but said helplessly: "1 Xiaoliang, can you help me get in touch, do we have any experts in this area in China?" ”

Ma Liang nodded and said, "I'll do my best." "Okay, I'm going to stay in the country for a few days, no hurry, no hurry."

Chi Yang didn't say anything too eagerly, he knew that the attitude he and his wife had shown in Wu Maojun's house before really made Ma Liang dislike, so at this time, he had to force Ma Liang to help him as a relative, which was inappropriate. And Chi Yang is also a figure of some status, and he can't do things that beg Ma Liang bitterly.

Are you kidding?

Even if you know how to do magic and have expertise in easy learning, so what? If you look down on you, you are a dish, if you look down on you, which onion are you?

Chi Yang knew that there were masters of magic in China, such as the two brothers Mu Fengtang and Mu Fengming at the beginning, although they could not be contacted now, but with Wu Maojun's strength and connections in China, it should not be a problem to find a hidden master who knew Taoism.

Without you, Ma Liang, wouldn't the earth be in circles?

Chi Yang behaved very indifferently, but Wu Ruixiang was not so calm, she was a veritable real elder in front of Wu Qiong and Ma Liang, and she was her aunt. Ma Liang declined her husband's invitation, Wu Ruixiang was of course very angry, thinking that this Ma Liang was too faceless Wu Ruixiang said angrily with a straight face: "1 Xiaoma, you won't be a little angry with me and your uncle, right?" ”

"Huh?" Ma Liang lù out of fear and doubt, and said, "Auntie, where did you start talking about this?" How could I be angry with you? Wu Ruixiang choked.

Yes, why is Ma Liang angry with them?

Wu Ruixiang knew it, but she couldn't admit from her mouth that when we talked at home before, we looked down on you very much, and we were really sarcastic and sarcastic and despised you.

Later, I learned that you are the director of the International Association of Easy Learning, and you know Professor Yu Xianchu, and you are still a master of magic, so we have changed our attitude towards you A little embarrassed at the dinner table for a while.

"Liangzi ......" Wu Qiong looked at Ma Liang.

Ma Liang smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind.

Xiaobai's eyes rolled wildly on the side, smiling, like a stupid girl who didn't know anything without heart or lungs. In my heart, I was thinking that Brother Yiliang's heart was so small.

How did she know that this time Brother Liang's refusal was not because of his small heart.

Wu Maojun and Xi Hanyun know their son-in-law, and his magic skills can definitely make him rank among the masters of Qimen Jianghu, and his defeated general Mu Fengming was in the wind and water abroad back then, can't Ma Liang deal with British witchcraft? This is simply not possible.

Therefore, Wu Maojun and Xi Hanyun couldn't understand why Ma Liang politely refused Chi Yang's invitation, perhaps, because of the arrogant and contemptuous attitude of Chi Yang and Wu Ruixiang during the first meeting and conversation, which made Ma conscience dissatisfied?

But Ma Hao doesn't seem to be such a cautious person.

Besides, they are all their own relatives, and with Ma Liang's usual behavior, even if it is for the sake of Xiaoqiong and their parents, they will not be so stingy as to refuse.

So there must be other reasons why it's inconvenient to tell others, right?

Thinking of this, Wu Maojun picked up his wine glass and said, "Come on, don't talk about this, drink... Chi Yang, I'll help you ask about your affairs these days. ”

"Okay."

The seemingly harmonious atmosphere at the dinner table soon returned.

It was past seven o'clock in the evening.

The street lamps in the panoramic huā garden community are bright and soft, and the lakeside, the wide field and the lawn are dotted with colorful lights, making the environment more elegant and quiet in the community at night. The temperature in the warm spring season is no longer cool, refreshing and comfortable, making people walk in the community, affected by the environment, and the mood will be much calmer.

Ma Liang accompanied Wu Qiong, walking gently among the gravel paths on the lakeside and lawn.

Not far away, 1 Xiaobai walked in front with his hands behind his back, humming a song in his mouth: "Don't think about them having a beautiful sun, I see that the sunset will change every day." I know I've always had a pair of invisible wings that take me to fly and give me hope......"

Xiaobai's voice is very good, although it still has a thick childish voice, but the words are clear, tactful and crisp, and the tone is extremely accurate.

Wu Qiong couldn't help but hum softly.

Ma Liang had a shallow smile on his face, and he looked very happy.

A thought suddenly came to him in his heart, he stayed by Wu Qiong's side every day with nothing to do, until the day she gave birth......

"Ryoko." Wu Qiong stopped humming and asked in a soft and casual tone, "Why did you refuse my uncle's invitation?" ”

"Huh?" Ma Liang smiled and said, "Do you think that I am stingy and hate their attitude, so I don't want to help?" ”

Wu Qiong grabbed Ma Liang's arm and shook her head slightly.

Ma Liang patted Wu Qiong's little hand on his arm, and said softly: "I think about it, this matter is very complicated

……”

"What's wrong.

After thinking about it, Ma Liang said unhurriedly: "According to what your uncle said, the president and chairman of their company can learn about the feng shui of the Chinese country from the mouth of a duke, which shows that the social status and influence of the chairman of the company are not low. "Actually, my uncle is the second largest shareholder of their company." Wu Qiong said.

"Well, it doesn't matter." Ma Liang smiled and waved his hand, and said, "The important thing is that since they know members of the royal family and nobles, they have been violated by witchcraft in the British place, and with their status and social relations, they can't find a wizard to deal with this kind of problem?" ”

Wu Qiong thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, those wizards have a tandem with each other, so they can't interfere, right?" It's like how many people in our Qimen rivers and lakes in China will meddle in what other warlocks do? ”

Ma Liang smiled: "Driven by interests, nothing is impossible. ”

Joan nodded blankly.

"One more important point. ，… Ma Liang frowned and said, "I am not familiar with Bu Xianchu, he is not a person from Qimen, and he doesn't even know much about Qimen Jianghu, so how does he know that I am a warlock in Qimen Jianghu?" Who told him? And why did he, by name, suggest that your uncle come to me? ”

Wu Qiong stopped, her face full of suspicion... Obviously, Ma Liang's suspicions also made her feel a little worried.

"It won't be Old Man Lu." "Who's that?" Wu Qiong hurriedly asked.

Ma Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know, but this matter is a little strange, so I can't promise your aunt to help him, look at the next development of things, if it doesn't work, I'll ask someone to help him, no matter what, it's also a relative, the family is in trouble, we can't sit idly by, hehe." "Oh."

Wu Qiong didn't say any more, but gently leaned on Ma Liang's shoulder, just because of her height, she leaned a little hard, but she was still very happy and enjoyed leaning on Ma Liang's shoulder that was not generous but made Wu Qiong feel absolutely safe.

In fact, Ma Liang didn't finish his guesses and judgments just now, the reason was naturally that he didn't want Wu Qiong to worry too much about what Ma Liang didn't have any familiar people in the UK at all.1 And he was able to make the local wizards indifferent to Chi Yang's company in a foreign land tens of thousands of miles away, and he was able to reveal Ma Liang's identity to Bu Xianchu, and let a big man like Bu Xianchu specifically recommend Ma Liang to others......

It should be Director Ma, right?

Of course, there are two suspicious people, first of all, Dai lì, Moss, who wants to use this to lure Ma Liang to England and then retaliate, but this possibility is very small, because Dai lì,

There is not such a big hatred between Moss and Ma Liang, and this has to go through such a complicated interpersonal contact, with Dai lì, Moss's heart, she is not good at this, so it can be ignored: the other person is Mu Pei, he is very suspicious, this guy is rich, and he has some connections laid by his father before, and he knows Chi Yang, Wu Ruixiang, Wu Yu's background and life experience in the UK, etc.

Just when Ma Liangsi was paying for this, Wu Qiong said softly with some emotion: "Liangzi, no matter what kind of people are manipulating behind this matter, I don't want you to do anything again, if you really can't shirk it, just entrust someone to go to the UK to help my uncle and their company, we can huā money right, Director Ma should be able to do it, we can pay." "Clever!" Ma Liang nodded with a smile and said, "That's what I thought." ”

That being said, Ma Liang did have such an idea in his heart, anyway, it will be paid by Chi Yang and his company at that time, Director Ma does not have to worry about face and does not charge, and Ma Liang does not have to care about the favor owed to Director Ma.

But the question is ......,

What if this matter was manipulated by Director Ma behind the scenes?

"I just want to be safe... In the future, we will no longer care about the affairs of Qimen Jianghu, and when I give birth to children, several little babies, I think that kind of life is really happy. "1 Xiao Qiong, you Qiong Yao......" "Huh?" Wu Qiong was stunned for a moment, and then understood, and couldn't help but shyly punch Ma Liang lightly, "I hate it!" Ma Liang was so happy that he said: "Don't really think how happy and happy you will be to have children in the future, let's be clear, money is not a problem, but six little rabbit cubs are making a fuss at home, enough for the two of us to drink a pot!" "It's okay, mom and dad help us bring it, and besides, there's a nanny."

"In this case, I will tell the children then, in fact, you are their stepmother" Wu Qiong laughed happily, stretched out her hand and gently stroked her abdomen, which was not obviously bulging, and asked: "Liangzi, tell me, what is the Jianghu?" Could it be that the rivers and lakes only have constant grievances and troubles and dangerous things? "Rivers and lakes, ......"

Ma Liang sighed, and after thinking about it for a while, he talked about his opinions and cognition of the rivers and lakes in a serious and somewhat deep manner.

In fact, what are rivers and lakes?

No one can give an accurate statement.

Zhuangzi once said: "It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to be in the foam." ”

After this old man said this, the word "Jianghu" appeared for the first time in the cultural map of a large country, and has since been used by later generations to describe the social structure existing in society. A noun that originally only referred to rivers, lakes and seas has become a place that seems to be a vast and leisurely place in people's minds, giving people unlimited imagination.

Not to mention the fascinating stories of swords and swords, righteousness and thin clouds, it seems that even those children who meet when walking the rivers and lakes, and the loneliness and loneliness of those killer assassins, will have a beauty that makes people fall.

However, what does the real Jianghu look like?

The literati have different opinions.

The characters in the novel let me do it, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes: Yan Shisan said that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and there are all kinds of similar sayings, in short, they all flow out of a complex emotion in the tone, which seems to be indescribable, as if again, it can't make people look a little bit at it, and Ma Liang summed up the result with his shallow social experience and self-perception, and the result is that he recognizes the nose of letting me go, that is, Master Jin Yong's words, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Jianghu, in fact, in the final analysis, is a general generalization of social groups that people don't know much about, and because they don't understand, they mix too many beautiful or mysterious fantasies into it, so they quote the words in the beautiful poems of the ancient sages and call them Jianghu.

There are many rivers and lakes, such as officialdom, shopping malls, such as dark mornings, and the sky is slightly bright.

There are not a few people who get up early to exercise in the panoramic huā garden community, people are walking or running, melodious and soothing music is fluttering in the sky of the small "Guang" field next to the lake, some elderly people and some middle-aged and even young people, lined up in a neat queue, under the guidance of the coach, slowly playing a very ornamental health Tai Chi.

In a secluded place among the tree-lined paths, Ma Liang was calm, reciting hundreds of limbs, stretching his movements like a swimming dragon, sometimes playing Tai Chi fast.

A few meters away, Xiao Bai also made a good gesture, pausing from time to time and tilting his head to look at Ma Liang.

In the past few days, Ma Liang's life has been very leisurely, as he hoped, every day he either walked and chatted with Wu Qiong, or read books in the study, studying "Tui Bei Tu" and "I Ching".

During the daily morning exercise, Wu Qiong didn't come out again, but only came out for a walk after dinner.

The sound of running came from a short distance, and soon from far to near, they came to the place where Ma Liang and Xiaobai were, behind a hill like a hill made of dirt, with green trees, grass everywhere, and a path paved with stones.

On a spring day, the morning breeze is cool, and the scent of fresh and moist grass fills the air.

The footsteps in the running stopped, and Wu Yu called with a smile on his face: "Brother-in-law"

Ma Liang, who was concentrating and boxing, slowed down, frowning and slowly closing with a slight dislike. When he boxed, the most disliked thing was to be disturbed, even if Xiaobai wanted to learn boxing with him, he had to wait until he finished the whole set of boxing techniques before he would guide Xiaobai.

Because, when Ma Liang was boxing, his mind and mind were united, and his mental power and true qi were constantly running along the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and to a certain extent, this was also in the process of performing the spell.

After turning around and seeing that it was Wu Yu and Chi Qilin, Ma Liang's dislike quickly reined in and said with a smile: "1 Xiaoyu, 1 Xiaolin, why did you come here?" ”

"I didn't see you after running two laps, so I'll look this way." Wu Yu said with a smile.

It's rare to go back to China, and in the past few days, Wu Yu and Chi Qilin, brother and sister, have been out to visit the mountains and rivers all day long, and they have a lot of fun. At the beginning, Wu Yu and Chi Qiling were still quite interested in this brother-in-law who was proficient in easy learning and Taoism, and they were even more curious about those subtleties, and often pestered Ma Liang to ask this and that, and even thought about following Ma Liang to learn Taoism.

But after being rejected by Ma Liangwan a few times, Wu Yu and Chi Qiling's three-minute heat quickly subsided.

Young people, who would go too far into this area?

And Chi Qilin was not interested in these from the beginning, especially after Ma Liang rejected Chi Yang's request last time, Chi Qilin's impression of Ma Liang became very bad and prejudiced.

Chi Qilin walked to Ma Liang's side, tilted his head and raised his hands to the sides, shook his shoulders, and made a helpless posture that young people in Western countries are accustomed to, and said in a slightly mocking tone: "Cousin-in-law, I actually saw you doing tai chi, right?" Oh my God, is that something that young people use to work out? It's so boring......"

Ma Liang smiled and said calmly: "Tai Chi focuses on meditation and cultivation, which can also play a role in fitness. "Oh" Chi Qilin mocked: "I think there should be only two kinds of people who do tai chi, one is that they are old and lack physical strength and spirit: the other is because they are too lazy to exercise and find a suitable reason for themselves." ”

"Huh?" Ma Liang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Maybe." "Haha, cousin-in-law, you won't be angry with what I just said, will you? I'm kidding you. Chi Qilin snorted, stretched out his hand and grabbed Ma Liang's shoulder very unceremoniously, and said while putting force on his arm: "Cousin-in-law, I really can't understand why you want to live like an old man, not to mention tai chi, but what kind of magic and I Ching and other things you still learn, it's incredible." Do you know? I just saw you playing Tai Chi, and then I thought about what kind of director you are of the International Association of Easy Learning, and I immediately thought of the words in the martial arts novels I had read before, miscellaneous old ways, charlatans. ”！。
