After eating steamed pears and changing into clothes, the first thing that popped into Mingyi's mind was that if Shen Tuyi stopped being a helper, he could open a wine shop, the lychee wine he brewed was indeed first-class, and he woke up with a hangover, refreshed, and did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Going downstairs to the main hall, Xia Huanfeng had already put on makeup and was sitting in danger. Although today's makeup is not as glamorous as yesterday's, it also has its own three points of charm, as usual.

Xia Huanfeng fiddled with the small clay stove in front of him, cooking tea soup, bursts of green aroma came, and woke up the rest of the wine.

"Brother Shentu will come over in a while, and it is quiet to talk here." Xia Huanfeng opened the lid, and a scent of jujube came to his nose, with a slight spicy ginger.

He then threw the orange peel and mint leaves from the small dish into the tea, stirred slightly, and prepared to serve. Mingyi knew that this was the practice of boiling tea with ginger dates and various spices into porridge, which was called eating tea. It looked very fresh, but she didn't dare to compliment the taste, and shook her hand, thanking Bumin.

"Although lychee wine is good, the climate is also cold, and it will inevitably fall cold, and eating some ginger jujube tea will make your body much more comfortable." Xia Huanfeng gave her a small half bowl, "Take a bite and taste it?" ”

Ming Yi didn't want to excuse himself again, so he took it and took a shallow bite, with mixed tastes. The aromas with their own personalities are rolled up from different directions, and they rise again and again, which is much more exciting than a single tea taste.

When I came last night, I didn't notice that the courtyard outside the main hall was different from when I came back, and many maple trees had been transplanted, but they had not yet grown up, like a weak boy, standing in the courtyard covered with hoarfrost.

Ming Yi begged for another cup of tea to eat, and said jokingly: "This gang leader personally went to Lingnan to make wine, and red maples were transplanted everywhere in the gang, and it seems that it will not be long before the Shentu family will be renamed the Phantom Maple House." ”

Xia Huanfeng smiled bitterly: "Don't make fun of me anymore." I'm just a spring dream for the two of them, and it's best when I'm not in front of me, not to mention, the sweeter the spring dream before waking up, the more terrible the nightmare after waking up. ”

Of course, Ming Yi understands his predicament, the deeper the Shentu brothers' infatuation with "Xia Niangzi", if he is found to be a man in the future, the heavier their hatred for him will be, I am afraid that not only do they want to crush him to ashes, but even the related people who have witnessed this infatuation are eager to kill them one by one. At that time, I was afraid that I would also be affected.

She could only pat Xia Huanfeng's shoulder: "The boat is naturally straight to the bridge." ”

Xia Huanfeng looked straight ahead, and the expression on his face changed subtly, from sadness to disgust to a charming smile that gradually unfolded. Ming Yi didn't have to turn his face to know that it must be the pair of brothers who came.

"How was Gang Master Feng resting last night?" Shen Tu smiled again and greeted him.

"The world of the Shentu family is comparable to the palace, how can you sleep restlessly?" Mingyi said politely.

Shen Tuyi didn't like to socialize, nodded slightly, and sat next to Xia Huanfeng.

Xia Huanfeng motioned to the maidservant to remove the tea stove on the table, and said with a smile: "The two elder brothers also got up early. ”

"We who practice martial arts must get up before the sun rises, and no matter how drunk we are, we can't delay our practice." Shen Tu was a little arrogant.

Shentu also called someone to send a pot of chrysanthemum nectar tea: "Autumn is the most suitable chrysanthemum nectar, but unfortunately there are few chrysanthemums planted in the garden, both of us are reckless men, after all, a little less fine." ”

Xia Huanfeng was a little lazy to talk about these ups and downs with the two of them, so he got straight to the point: "I came here with Gang Leader Feng this time to talk to the two brothers about the cooperation between our two gangs, if we can reach a consensus, the two of us will immediately rush back to Chang'an to prepare." ”

Shen Tuyi put away his smile and became serious: "Oh? Our Shentu family has always been at peace in the Eastern Capital, but I don't know how to cooperate with your gang. ”

Shen Tu was even sharper, and his face was completely warm: "With all due respect, the Shangguan gang is currently only a small gang in Yangzhou, if we need the protection of our Shentu family, this is just a matter of what you said about Phantom Feng, and we have always done the same." But when it comes to cooperation, it doesn't seem to be enough, right? ”

Ming Yi didn't show any expression on his face, and he was already a little frightened in his heart. She thought that at least the Shentu brothers would listen to her about the situation and prospects for cooperation between the two sides, but she didn't expect to be choked back before she could speak. turned to look at Xia Huanfeng, her face did not change, and she was still light and light.

Ming Yi sighed that he was still too naïve, but Xia Huanfeng was very sober from beginning to end. No matter how infatuated the Shentu brothers are with "Xia Niangzi", they are not mediocre and incompetent, otherwise it would be impossible to develop the Shentu family to the current situation. They can spend a lot of money for Xia Huanfeng, and they can do all kinds of clever means to please him, but when it comes to the affairs of the gang, one is one, two is two, and there is no personal distraction.

In contrast, there are too many feelings between oneself involved in gang affairs, and it may be necessary for a small gang to act in this way, to win people's hearts and maintain relationships with emotion. But at a certain scale, acting according to her own likes and dislikes can become an obstacle to development, and she must learn to put the interests of the gang before all emotions.

Seeing that Xia Huanfeng didn't speak, Ming Yi looked at her, knowing that it was time for him to express himself.

She nodded slightly, neither humble nor arrogant: "I think the current situation in Chang'an, I'm afraid that although the two Shentu gang leaders are not in it, they also know it." Since the appointment of Lord Wei Ao as Jing Zhaoyin, he has successively implemented a system of strict registration and control of gang members on the grounds that the Tianyi Gang was making trouble and the Taoqi Gang was making trouble in Chang'an Xitang, and even the identity of the gang members had to be confirmed one by one when entering and leaving the city gate. In this way, any action of the gang will be under the control of the government. Although a small number of gang masters can cross the city gate, the vast majority of gangs are just ordinary gangs, and it is difficult to get out of the control of the government. ”

Shen Tu nodded: "We have heard a little about this matter, but this has nothing to do with our gang, and we have no plans to enter Chang'an in a big way." ”

Ming Yi knew that Shen Tuyi still wanted to pretend in front of her, so he didn't break it, and continued: "What Jingzhao Yin Yamen did was just the role of a forerunner. happened to encounter the case of Liu Yizong's killing, and Jingzhao Yin Yamen made a big fuss about it, forcing the Tianyi gang to withdraw from Chang'an. Before that, the Peach Seven Gang was too busy to take care of themselves due to the involvement of the Tianyi Gang in the Shu brocade business, and the main force also left Chang'an. The people below made trouble again, and the remnants of the Peach Seven Gang in Chang'an were basically swept away. Up to now, Chang'an is in a state of no gang involvement, Wei Ao will make a big fuss about this, the above table, because of the sweep of gang forces, Chang'an people are stable, and merchants are prosperous, so that this means of restricting gangs can be extended to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, so as to achieve the goal of finally sweeping away the forces in the rivers and lakes and cracking down on the political enemies of the DPRK and China. ”

The more Ming Yi spoke, the more sonorous and powerful he became, and the expressions of the Shentu brothers became more and more serious.
