Volume 1 The Beginning of the Glory Chapter 31 Calculation
Arriving in Yanjing Longhua City, there was already a driver arranged by the Tao family waiting, and it has not been an easy job to catch up with the trip.
When I arrived at the gate of the Tao family, it was already three hours later, I woke up the little girl, got out of the car, and the Tao family gathered at the door to welcome the guests.
The Tao family's residence is a little different from what Zhong Zhengnan thought, it is not a mansion villa, but a courtyard with a larger area and elegant decoration.
Tao Mu trotted forward and leaned into the ear of a thin but energetic old man in Tang costume, I don't know what to say, the old man in Tang costume nodded slightly, stretched out his hand sideways, and said to Zhong Zhengnan: "Mr. Zhong, please!"
Zhong Zhengnan smiled at everyone, said hello, and then hugged his fists at the old man and said, "I'm bothered!" ”
followed everyone in the Tao family to the living room, what made Zhong Zhengnan feel strange was that except for Tao Mu, everyone in the Tao family was busy asking for warmth with him, pulling family routines, and did not mention anything about Tao Shu's problems, although Tao Mu had reminded his grandfather and father several times during the period.
After chatting for a long time, Tao Zhi, the previous head of the Tao family, got up and hugged his fist at Zhong Zhengnan, and said politely: "Mr. Zhong came from afar, and he was tired of traveling and driving, so this is the end of today." ”
Then he turned his head to Tao Mu beside him and ordered, "Xiao Mu, you take Mr. Zhong to the residence, the meal has been prepared!"
Tao Mu looked at the somewhat abnormal grandfather, Zou frowned, he didn't dare to say anything, he had also gotten along with Zhong Zhengnan for a while, people are not bad, and since people know that they are suspected, they can still appear in the Tao family's hall, how can the Tao family not be so generous!
Seeing that Tao Mu didn't move for a long time, Zhong Zhengnan smiled and said, "That...... Miss Tao, I happen to be tired and hungry, or ......"
Tao Mu bit his lip, looked at Zhong Zhengnan apologetically, and said softly: "It's the Tao family who is negligent, Mr. Zhong comes with me!"
Zhong Zhengnan took the snow tongue and followed Tao Mu to the east side of the guest room, and indeed prepared a very sumptuous meal, the little girl had no heart and lungs, and Zhong Zhengnan didn't mind that the Zhong family had some obvious hostility, the two came to the table and began to gobble up.
Tao Mu was about to turn around, but after thinking about it, he said: "I believe that you are not the one who harmed my younger brother, the elders in the family are all worried about Xiaoshu, don't take it to heart." ”
Zhong Zhengnan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's normal, but I'm more curious, why are you willing to believe me?" ”
Tao Mu suddenly tilted his head and smiled, "Intuition, a woman's intuition!" ”
In the hall of the Tao family, Tao Zhi, the head of the family, looked at his two sons and frowned: "What do you think? ”
The eldest son, Tao Houde, sat up straight and shook his head, "To be honest, I don't think this young man is the murderer, father, why don't you let him go and read the little book first?" In case he can really save people......"
"Big brother, you also know that in case, it is indispensable to guard against people, I don't think that kid is like a good thing, thief eyebrows!" A man who was a little similar to Tao Houde suddenly interjected, "Father, this is to stabilize that kid first, and when the ever-old immortal of the Rejuvenation Hall comes, he will go to see a doctor for my poor nephew, and that kid is the best to see a doctor obediently, whether it can be cured or not, my Tao family will not treat him badly, if that kid has any bad intentions at that time, and there is also an ever-old immortal town, he will definitely not be able to set off any big storms!" ”
Tao Zhi looked at his youngest son, who had been clever since he was a child, and nodded in appreciation: "CCB is right, I will go to invite the old fairy to come over early tomorrow morning, and by the way, let the old god cactus eyes to see if the young man brought back by Xiao Mu has the ability to play Gu, is it a murderer!" ”
Tao Houde always felt that something was wrong, and said: "Father, with all due respect, that old immortal, as a cultivator, is he too attentive to my Tao family!" ”
Tao Zhi's youngest son, Tao Jianxing sneered: "What did the eldest brother say, Chang Lao Immortal has been a close friend of his father for many years, and his father will naturally come to help when he is in trouble, oh, according to your meaning, big brother, anyone who has some kindness to the Tao family has some plans!" ”
Tao Jianxing cocked Erlang's legs, and said in a strange manner: "Big brother, don't forget, the old immortal is not an ordinary person, and your identity as the president of the Tao Chamber of Commerce is not worth the old immortal's troubles!" Besides, people do their best for your own son, you don't want to be grateful, but you are wary everywhere, not to mention outsiders, even I can't see it! ”
Tao Zhi was obviously a little displeased, and said: "It's all gone, early tomorrow morning, CCB will personally go to invite the old immortals!" ”
After eating, someone soon came over to clean up, worthy of a wealthy family.
Zhong Zhengnan sat on the chair, staring at the ceiling in a daze, Zhong Kui in the Linghai said curiously: "Boy, it's quite bearable, being guarded like this, without saying anything, do you think those two big men at the door are really here to protect you!" ”
"That's coming, what can I do, take a step at a time!"
The little girl with a snow tongue who felt that everything had nothing to do with her suddenly raised her head and said, "Senior brother in charge, do you think that guy with moles on his eyelids doesn't like you very much!" ”
Zhong Zhengnan threw the toothpick he had just used to pick his teeth at the little girl, and said indifferently: "It's not just that I don't like it, it's completely hostile!" ”
The little girl took out a toothpick from her hair, threw it back, and said, "Do you owe money to others?"
Two fingers suddenly clamped the toothpick that stabbed at the door, and then threw it at the little girl, but he didn't really throw it out, Zhong Zhengnan, who successfully deceived the little girl, said inexplicably: "The first time we met, who did you owe money!" ”
The little girl moved her chair, away from the senior brother in charge, did not speak again, and continued to look down at her brother Lin Shu.
At night, Xue Yu went back to her room, next door to Zhong Zhengnan, originally she planned to stay in the head room, in case there was a little special situation, she could also protect him, but the stinky head was really hateful, and he actually said something like that to drive her out.
"Snow tongue, you are a big girl, you are going to marry in the future, you stay with me, a lonely man and a widow, I am nothing, but you can't make it, you said that if you can't marry in the future, who is it?"
Nonsense, you can't get married, no, who is going to get married?
Tao Houde and his wife just left from their son's bedroom, back to the residence, it was the baby daughter who "drove" the couple back, Tao Houde took off his coat and put it on the hanger, for some reason, he has been restless recently, not all because of his son, but also because of the so-called old fairy.
He suddenly grabbed his wife Wei Yun's shoulders and said: "No, there must be something wrong, I didn't notice, that Chang Liu's heart for Xiaoshu was too much, and he came to collect blood every day, Xiaoshu not only did not get better, but became weaker and weaker day by day, this is not like saving people!"
Wei Yun, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tao family, was born in a famous family, but recently because of the child's affairs, she was overly worried and looked very haggard, she looked at her husband, who had always been cautious, touched the stubble on her husband's chin that could prick her hands, and said softly: "Houde, don't be too nervous, the immortals in the world act differently, not to mention, my father trusts that person so much, he will never harm his own grandchildren!" ”
"I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of my father's trust!"
Tao Houde, the leading big man in Longhua City, took over the Tao Chamber of Commerce from his father, and operated alone, in just ten years, Tao from the end of the Chamber of Commerce, leapt to a large consortium that controls half of Yanjing's economic lifeline, the Tao Chamber of Commerce has this transformation, most of the reason is that Tao Houde is calm, advanced and retreated, has a unique vision, and has an unusual sense of smell for the crisis.
Wei Yun understands her husband's temperament, and no one can change his views and decisions about the things he believes, so he has to say: "The matter has come to this point, there is no other way, let's just keep an eye on it!"
On a dark and windy night, a figure left from the back door of the Tao family's compound and drove to the west of the city alone.
In the rejuvenation hall in the west of the city, the old immortal in the eyes of the Tao family is refining medicine at the moment, pouring red liquid into the Dan furnace from time to time, and the cyan furnace fire will integrate the red liquid with the essence of the medicinal herbs, slowly forming a reddish-brown pill.
Carefully putting away the pills, the old man Chang Liucai turned to look at the figure in the dark, and said apologetically: "This alchemy matter is quite exquisite, and I can't be distracted, so I have been waiting for Tao Er Ye for a long time!"
"My niece brought back a boy surnamed Zhong, will there be an accident?" The figure whose face could not be seen clearly slowly spoke, "Also, you said that you wanted to spare that child's life, I hope you don't break your word, after all, it is my own nephew!"
The old man surnamed Chang put the box, sat opposite the figure, and said: "Yo, the ruthless Second Master Tao also talked about blood and family affection, you can rest assured, the old man only takes blood alchemy, at most, the child will be sick and calamito in the second half of his life, and he will not die early, as for the boy surnamed Zhong you said, if he knows each other and does not mix in, the old man is not a stingy person, and he doesn't mind giving him a chance!"
The black shadow pondered for a moment and asked, "When will the matter of passing on my eldest brother's fortune begin?" Don't forget, that's the right thing!"
"Hmph, the old man does things, I want you to teach, you should pass on the fortune, as simple as you spend money to buy happy, when the time comes, the old man will do it, before that, you had better not do too much, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
The black shadow got up and left, and before leaving, only two words were left, as soon as possible!
The old man watched the second master of the Tao family leave, and when the people were far away, he smiled to himself and said: "The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, the second master Tao, the second master Tao, don't look at how many catties you have, your eldest brother's fortune, can you eat it?" ”
Then the old man surnamed Chang looked at the backyard again, where there was an old woman who described a withered old woman, who was neither alive nor dead, and his eyes suddenly appeared with a heavy murderous intention, and he muttered: "Old wife, wait a little longer, wait for me to use the blood sacrifice of the doll to succeed, and then kill the Tao family to help you recover your soul!"
The second master of Tao, who was far away, suddenly laughed, smiling softly, he glanced back at the rejuvenation hall behind him, and said to himself: "Okay, you are an old immortal, your intentions are outrageous, but it's a pity, the second master Tao in your mouth was eaten by me early, and when you start the blood sacrifice, your green scale grandfather will let you taste the feeling of making wedding clothes for others." ”
This Second Master Tao, the more he thinks about it, the happier he becomes, "And that little brother Zhong, how do you say it, there is a road in heaven that you don't take, and there is no way to invest in hell, and you dare to come out if you gather spirits, what is it if you don't seek death?" However, that little bird is a little tricky, what should I do? ”
Tao Erye, who walked to the side of the car, had a flash of inspiration, "Eh, there is, let you fight with the old man first, and then I will come out to pick up ready-made, is this considered a competition between snipes and mussels, fishermen profit, tsk, your human ability to be reasonable is indeed more powerful than fists!"
