Chapter 38: Seven Star Tea House
The tea house of the Seven Stars View is quite famous in the capital.
Historically, the capital not only had a large population, but also a large number of wealthy and idle people, from all walks of life. From the Ninety-Five Supreme to the peddlers' pawns, they all like to taste tea in their spare time. Different classes, different pursuits, naturally have different needs for teahouses. Therefore, the number of teahouses in the capital city and the number of categories are the highest in the country.
Generally speaking, the tea Zen in the Buddhist temple and the tea house in the Taoist temple are relatively high in the tea house. There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding.
The Seven Stars View Tea House, as the name suggests, is located in the Seven Stars Temple.
As early as the Republic of China, the Seven Stars View Tea House was a place where celebrities gathered, and later gradually became an antique trading place in the capital city, some tea customers drank tea and chatted, and did business.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, for a long time, the antique trade disappeared, and the Seven Stars Temple was also taken over by the state religious department, turning into a Taoist temple with eight classics, and the tea house was closed.
It was not until after the reform and opening up that the religious department also kept up with the trend of the times, and opened the tea house in the Seven Stars Temple, gradually restoring the scale of the Republic of China.
Xiao Fan sat in an elegant seat on the second floor of the Seven Star Tea House, slowly sipping tea, his eyebrows frowning slightly, as if he was preoccupied. In autumn, the weather is not very cold, but Xiao Fan added a wool vest under the moon-white Tang suit, his face was pale, and the original clear treasure light on his face was faintly visible, faintly revealing a sick face.
Performing the technique of blood phase, and deducing the fate of four people in one breath, Rao is Xiao Fan has cultivated Haoran righteousness to the realm of perfection, and the huge power of heavenly counterattack still makes him greatly injured.
But he didn't rest for a day, so he went to the Seven Stars Temple to drink tea.
Time is of the essence, and I can't afford to wait.
Many things must be done immediately, and everything must be prepared before the old man dies. Otherwise, the old Xiao family really couldn't escape this catastrophe.
It is precisely because Xiao Fan himself is proficient in numerology and physiognomy that he feels the power of heaven and earth. If you want to change the scourge of the Xiao family's "clan annihilation", there is no other way than to change your life against the sky.
But how can this change of life against the sky be so simple?
Due to the unauthorized alteration of the feng shui of the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family, Yan Jinshan's whole family died in Huangquan, and the extremely rich and expensive life was cut off in one day, the old branch secretary died of illness inexplicably, and the end of Xiao An's family was doomed and irretrievable.
It can be seen from this that changing the heavens without permission, no matter which direction you go to, is acting against the sky, and you must pay an extremely heavy price.
Generally speaking, the great enemy hiding in the shadows has used Yan Jinshan's family, Xiao An's family, plus the old branch secretary, eight or nine lives and all their wealth and longevity, to forcibly change the fortune of the Xiao family, from a very rich and noble family, to the abyss of "clan annihilation". Now Xiao Fan wants to pull the old Xiao family back from the abyss, and he also needs to pay a great price.
And the action must be fast, once the old man dies, all his efforts will be put into waste.
Whether Old Man Xiao is alive or dead is the key to the Xiao family's fortunes.
To renew the old man's life, or to let the old man get rid of the conspiracy and live again to the life he deserves, the heavenly machine will return to the original track, and the disaster of the old Xiao family's "clan annihilation" can be avoided.
What Xiao Fan wants to do now is this big thing.
This time, Xin Lin didn't follow behind. Xin Lin was in the private seat next door, and Hei Lin was lying in the chair, looking at Xin Lin lazily, unwilling to get close to her.
This big black cat has always had this attitude towards Xin Lin, not far away, not close, keeping a distance, very arrogant, and even Xin Lin can occasionally see a vigilant look in its eyes, as if she is jealous.
Every time Xin Lin saw the big black cat's eyes like this, she was angry and funny.
"Come, I'll give you fish!"
Xin Lin picked up a small dried fish from the plate in front of her and handed it to the big black cat.
The big black cat raised its head and ignored it.
"Hmph, if you ignore me, I will ignore you."
Xin Lin was like a little girl, and put the dried fish back on the plate.
In terms of age, she was originally a young girl's family.
There is a clear difference between the tea house in the Taoist temple and the tea Zen in the Buddhist temple. Buddhists pay attention to the "four are empty", drink tea in the temple, quiet and remote, away from the red dust. Although Taoism also pays attention to "quiet and inaction", it actually pays attention to the word "have", and really pursues the "way of immortality". The tea house in the Taoist temple is more secular than the tea Zen in the Buddhist temple.
You can talk about business in the Seven Stars View Tea House, and the meat is not taboo, but in the tea house in the Buddhist temple, you can't do it like this, it's too bad for the scenery.
Today is not a rest day, and there are not too many guests in the tea house, so it seems relatively quiet.
Xiao Fan sipped the tea one by one.
Although the Wujimen lineage is closer to Taoism, and the water stop view is also a Taoist temple, as far as drinking tea is concerned, Xiao Fan prefers to go to the temple. However, it was not so good to negotiate with people in the temple, so Xiao Fan chose the Seven Stars View Tea House.
It is estimated that Zheng Mingrui will arrive soon.
When Xiao Fan was tasting tea, a white BMW sedan drove into the parking lot in the backyard of Qixingguan, and after stopping, a strong man jumped out of the passenger seat, with a short flat head, a burly figure, and bulging muscles, which looked extremely powerful, and opened the door of the back seat neatly.
"Zheng Shao, please!"
The strong man opened the car door with one hand and said respectfully.
A shiny leather shoe leaned out of the car, and then a young man in his twenties walked down, wearing a suit and leather shoes, his hair was combed black and shiny, tall and straight, like a jade tree in the wind, very graceful.
However, the boy was obviously a little uncomfortable with this kind of dress, and as soon as he got out of the car, he twisted his neck vigorously and ripped off his tie, which seemed to be a little uncomfortable.
The strong man couldn't help but laugh, and asked in a low voice, "Zheng Shao, who are you going to see?" So formal! ”
"Go see my brother. Hey, let me tell you, Ah Hu, you can't talk nonsense later. Brother Yi, that person, is amazing. Good talk is good talk, if you want to provoke him, I can't save you. ”
Zheng Shao glared at him and whispered a warning.
"Huh? is so powerful, this person doesn't even give Zheng Shao's face? ”
The strong man was taken aback.
"Cut! So you haven't seen the world, do you think I, Zheng Jingwei, am a big man in this forty-nine city? Tell you, it's bad old nose. At the feet of this day, there are more awesome guys. What is my little Zheng? In short, you remember to me, don't talk nonsense, and don't get into trouble. ”
Zheng Shaoyi waved his hand and said with a little disdain.
Ah Hu was resigned, with a look of awe on his face, lifted a black lockbox from the back seat, and followed closely behind Zheng Shao. I was secretly curious, I didn't know what kind of amazing person the "first brother" in Zheng Shao's mouth was.
Ah Hu knows very well that the old man of Zheng Shao's family is a deputy minister. In the eyes of people like Ah Hu, not to mention the deputy minister, even if there is a father who is the deputy director of the district public security bureau, he can go sideways.
Listening to the meaning of Zheng Shao's words, the origin of that "first brother" is much more awesome than Zheng Shao.
Xiao Fan slowly put down the cup, he could already hear footsteps in the corridor. Ah Hu is two hundred pounds in size, stepping on this ancient wooden floor, creaking, as if the whole tea house is vibrating gently.
"First brother!"
The door of the box was open, and Zheng Shao saw Xiao Fan sitting by the window at a glance, and immediately smiled and sped up his steps.
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Xiao Rui, here?" ”
Zheng Mingrui was a little humble just now, although the position of the old man of his family is not as good as Xiao Zhan, Zheng Shao himself, in the inner circle of Sijiu City, he is really a figure. Not because of his family's power, but because of Zheng Mingrui's own ability. Don't look at Zheng Mingrui's youth, he is already quite famous in the capital's antique circle, and he is a "military advisor" when he buys antiques in the government. In addition, Zheng Jingwei is low-key, never shows off indiscriminately, is very good at being a person, and is very popular among a bunch of big and small gentlemen.
Zheng Mingrui is also the only gentleman who has had several contacts with Xiao Fan.
Every time it's because of antiques.
In the hands of the first brother, there are really some good things. Every time I take it out, it is a treasure, not a fake.
"Brother Yi, what good things do you want to take care of my Xiao Wei this time?"
Zheng Mingrui smiled and sat down in front of Xiao Fan.
Ah Hu carried the lockbox, stood behind Zheng Shao in a proper manner, and looked at this amazing "first brother" in Zheng Shao's mouth with a little curiosity. I don't see anything unusual, I'm still sick. However, I heard that now these sons and daughters of rich families like to turn their faces pale, saying what kind of "aristocratic temperament" they are, which is really laughing to death.
Dare to love the aristocracy is a sick seedling?
Such a nobleman, Brother Tiger can beat ten with one arm!
It's just that seeing Zheng Shao's attitude towards "First Brother", Ah Hu didn't dare to make a mistake.
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Xiao Rui, haven't you always been thinking about my Kangxi imperial gadget?" I brought it to you! ”
As he spoke, he picked up a delicate small box beside him and pushed it in front of Zheng Mingrui.
Zheng Mingrui was taken aback and said, "First brother, are you talking about Kangxi's copper-tired enamel snuff bottle?" I don't have enough money...... That's definitely more than half a million of them. ”
I just received a call from Xiao Fan, asking him to bring 500,000 cash to the Seven Star Guan Tea House, and there was a gadget to exchange for him. Zheng Mingrui didn't say a word, and immediately took out 500,000 cash and rushed over, without asking what it was.
What is the identity of "First Brother", how can he make fun of him Xiaowei?
This is the eldest grandson of the old Xiao family and the elder brother of the second brother Xiao!
But Zheng Mingrui didn't expect that what Xiao Fan wanted to exchange for him was the Kangxi imperial copper tire enamel flower snuff bottle. This is a really good thing, last time Zheng Mingrui occasionally saw it in Xiao Fan's hand, and immediately swallowed his saliva. However, Xiao Fan didn't change it to him at that time, and he didn't dare to force it.
Although he has never seen Brother Xiao get angry, but with that momentum, that family, who dares to make a mistake in front of him?
