Chapter 0103: Etiology
The person who walked in first, about the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, had two delicate mustaches, dressed in style and wealth, and had a calm and joyful momentum. A gilded pocket watch diagonally across the chest.
is not only a suit and leather shoes, but also a white scarf, which is quite elegant.
"Hey, Brother Ji Sun, don't come unharmed!"
"Hahaha, Brother Junshi, it's really you, haha, it's really you!"
As soon as Lao Dao and this old gentleman met, they were aroused with enthusiasm. The enthusiastic response between each other is not lost to the young friends at all.
Speaking of which, the two haven't seen each other for nearly 20 years, and they are very emotional after meeting each other.
After a moment of greetings, the old gentleman quickly ushered the two of them into the living room of the main room.
At this time, he had already made a brief introduction, and Gray Qingyan learned that the old man in front of him was Wei Quan, who was promoted with Lao Dao twenty-seven years ago, the word Ji Sun, and his hometown was also born outside the Guan.
Even the old Tao has deepened his understanding, and he only knew that his Taoist name was changed to picking pine nuts, and his common surname was Miao, called Miao Cheng. This time, I knew his words again, and called him Junshi.
The habit of names and characters is also a special feature in the dungeon world. At first, it was completely unclear how a person's name could be so complex and changeable.
Later, under the teachings of the old Tao, I gradually learned more: for example, a person's words are a supplement to the name. Usually the relationship between names and characters is also closely linked.
In addition to the name and character, there is also a number to call others: for example, the old Tao is called picking pine nuts, which is the road number.
Lao Dao and Wei Quan have been friends for many years, and they were in the same year as the middle school, and their relationship with each other is very close.
Knowing that Gray Qingyan was a personal disciple of Lao Dao, Wei Quan's attitude towards him was naturally different, and he almost regarded him as a close nephew.
The two have not seen each other for nearly 20 years, so naturally there is a lot to say when they meet. If you open the conversation box between each other, it will be endless.
Sometimes he sighs, sometimes he laughs heartily, and he speaks very passionately. Gray Qingyan didn't understand much, and after seeing the speculation the two of them said, he quietly got up and walked around the living room.
It was the first time he had entered such a magnificent garden house, and the layout and decoration inside were all in a style he had never seen before.
Every little detail can make him admire and sigh and secretly envy after a long time. Compared with the old Taoist temple on the mountain, there are many things here that he has never even seen and does not know.
Although there are some things that Lao Tao has told him about, but he has never seen them before, so naturally he can't match them.
If nothing else, the heavy chiming bell in the guest room suddenly rang, which surprised him quite for a while. Not to mention the furnishings in this house, all of which are exotic and classical.
Even the drink they were served to was not tea, but something called coffee.
After the first sip, the bitter gray whispered almost immediately. Fortunately, he was told that he could add sugar and milk, and he gradually adjusted the taste.
But overall I still don't like the strange taste, even with sugar and milk, it's just as unpleasant.
Instead, they were served small pastries, each piece delicate and sweet. As soon as Ash said that he started eating, he could barely stop.
When he paid attention, he realized that he had eaten most of the pastry unconsciously. The young maid next to her had been snickering for a long time.
Ash said that his face was hot and embarrassed, and he scolded his greed fiercely in his heart. But when I saw those delicious pastries, I couldn't help but want to reach out and eat them.
I thought that the food I had eaten there was the best delicacy in the world. Since I went out, whether I was making a steamer or a boat, the food was very simple.
It wasn't until Wei Quan's house that he really had a full meal. And they are all pastries that he can't name, but they are sweet and good-looking.
When I ate it, I couldn't wait to lick all the dregs off my fingers and eat them all, and I was completely conquered.
In comparison, what he eats in his hometown is not even food, it is simply pig food for domestic animals.
I don't know how long it has been, but the sky outside has gradually darkened anyway. Something suddenly sounded in the room, and then the top of his head suddenly lit up.
It wasn't until Ash realized that it was the crystal chandelier hanging overhead that was glowing—the name was only known later.
It was only at this moment that the two old friends who had reunited after a long absence, as if they had temporarily said enough, stopped with each other.
At dinner, Gray Qingyan saw Wei Quan's family again, including his eldest wife, second wife, and third wife, as well as two sons and daughters-in-law, and younger grandsons and granddaughters.
The meals served were also very exquisite, and just looking at the appearance made Ash Qingyan almost unable to take his eyes off.
Wei Quan's eldest wife is very gentle and looks kind, the second wife is younger, dignified and generous, and the third wife is slightly younger, according to Gray Qingyan's estimate, she may be in her early 30s.
In any case, the attitude of these three is very kind. Whether it is to treat the old way or to speak lightly, it is polite and polite.
Wei Quan's two sons also look to be about thirty years old, and they are polite and polite, so people can't find anything wrong.
Their appearance and attire are more Westernized, and they often come up with a foreign word when they speak - Gray Qingyan basically doesn't understand what it means.
These two people are very polite to both Lao Dao and Gray lightly, but there is obvious detachment and suspicion in their eyes.
Before coming, Gray Qingyan learned from the mouth of Lao Dao that the purpose of this trip was to see an old friend's daughter. But after the meeting, Wei Quan never mentioned this stubble, which is inevitably a little strange.
When talking before, Lao Dao asked several times, but Wei Quan cleverly covered up the past, and just said that he would entertain old friends to wash the dust first. As for seeing a doctor, there is no hurry.
At the dinner table, only the third aunt looked at the old way, and her eyes kept revealing expectations and faint entanglements, which made Gray Qingyan look at it a few more times.
However, he couldn't intervene in the matter here, and could only focus all his attention on the food. A variety of exquisite dishes make him eat freely.
Originally, he was going to persuade him to drink, but after all, Lao Dao was still thinking about curing the disease, so he naturally shirked not drinking in the past.
But Ash said that he didn't have this scruples, and Wei Quan also smiled and asked him not to be too restrained. More or less, drank a few glasses of wine. It's sweet and silky, and you can barely feel the smell of wine.
Before I knew it, I had eaten a few more cups. It's good to come first, but as the alcohol starts, I quickly get a little dizzy.
When I was settled in the guest room and fell asleep, I fell asleep in a short time. After a night of silence, I woke up.
The next day, amid the cheerful calls of the little birds, Gray Qingyan slowly opened his eyes. After thinking about it for a while, I looked at the surrounding environment and remembered what I had done yesterday.
This soft bed, light and warm quilt, and white pillows, clean and tidy room.
All this, almost like being in a dream, made Ash can't believe it was true for a long time.
When he sat up, he found that all the clothes he was wearing were gone, and he was lying naked in the quilt.
And on the chair next to the bed, there is a neat set of men's clothes, all from the inside out.
Gray Qingyan put on these clothes a little awkwardly, they were completely different from the clothes he wore when he was outside the gate. These clothes are more snug and tight, making them look more capable.
Gray Qingyan also debugged for a while before he could be considered to be fully dressed. After tidying up again, I was finally able to see people in general.
Soon after he came out of the room, a maid came and led him to the dining room. While he was fumbling to get dressed, the others had already finished eating.
Fortunately, Lao Dao was still waiting for him, and finally made Gray Qingyan feel at ease and steadfast. didn't show it on his face, but he still despised himself in his heart.
You, a cultivator, are still suffering from gains and losses. It's just that it's in an unfamiliar environment, so nervous, how can you break into the world in the future?
Thinking about it, I finally slowly calmed down and stopped being nervous.
After simply eating breakfast, this time Wei Quan didn't pull the old way to reminisce about the past. Ash said lightly that he had a chance to ask about the situation.
"Master, aren't we here to see Uncle Wei's daughter? Why hasn't there been any movement?"
Lao Dao smiled bitterly: "Hey, it's really hard to talk about this! Brother Ji Sun didn't elaborate in the letter, but I didn't know until I asked yesterday that this disease ...... Alas......"
"Master, what is the disease?
"It's not just me, Brother Ji Sun is about to turn the entire night beach upside down before, whether it is a domestic saint or a foreign celebrity, there is nothing to be done!"
"Hey, is it so serious? Master, you have studied both Chinese and Western, are you also stumped? What kind of disease?"
"Speaking of which, it's not a disease at all, it's a ...... It's an injury!"
It's not a disease, it's an injury?
Gray said lightly for a while, and it wasn't until Lao Dao introduced him in detail that he figured out the truth.
It turned out that the one who was sick was the youngest daughter of Wei Quan's family. It is the biological daughter of the third aunt I saw last night, she is a middle-aged daughter of Wei Quan, and the baby looks like something.
I'm just 17 years old this year, which is the age of flowers. It is said that she studied music at St. Mary's Girls' School and was still a top student.
He is not only kind and lively, but also graceful and graceful. Since childhood, he has been the pearl of Wei Quan's palm. As I get older, I get more and more moving.
Who knew that last year, because of the collapse of Wall Street stocks in the United States, the chain reaction led to the collapse of the stock market of the entire night sea, and the entire market was in a great depression.
At the time of chaos, some people maliciously set fires, which made the miasma of smoke and smoke at that time a mess. Even in the public concession, there was a great deal of unrest.
It was in this riot that Wei Quan's youngest daughter was involved.
