Chapter 17: The Beginning of the Story
In Hu Hai's room, everyone sat in different positions.
Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia sat next to Hu Hai on the left and right, one half lying on the chair, and the other leaning on the back of the chair a little lazily.
Xu Chenxi and Hu Shouyu sat a little farther away, sitting a little upright, and both of them looked a little nervous.
"Everyone, please have tea."
Nishang brought a wooden tray, and four cups of tea that were still steaming floated in with the aroma of tea.
The cup containing the tea is very particular, and the pale green jade cup can clearly see the tea gently rippling in the cup.
"This is the spring of Biluo just picked in March, the taste is warm, and it is difficult to have such a taste if it is late or early." Hu Shouyu tasted it and exclaimed.
Nishang nodded and said with a smile: "I knew that Mr. Hu knew tea, so I would have taken something better to entertain guests." ”
Hu Shouyu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I just know a little bit about fur, when the family was not so depressed before, most kinds of tea were also tasted." ”
"If the matter can be resolved smoothly this time, Mr. Hu can bring back some tea from home when he leaves." Nishang put away the tray, "Then let's get down to business, I'll go out first." ”
Su Jianxia stood up, and after sending Ni Shang out, he closed the door of the room, looked at Hu Hai, who was chatting quietly with Wei Ziqi, and couldn't help asking, "Qin ...... Wildly...... No, you should have the last name Win? ”
Hu Hai glanced at Su Jianxia and said to Wei Ziqi; "It's hard to imagine someone like you with a girl who doesn't look very smart."
Su Jianxia glared: "Who do you say is not smart?" ”
"Look at it, why are you still seated?"
"I'm the only girl he brought!" Su Jianxia said angrily.
"I'm sorry, but I forgot that." Hu Hai pretended to be surprised.
"Anyway, he is also a person who has been an emperor, and he is still an old thing who has lived for more than 2,000 years, and he is still as knowledgeable as a little girl like me, and he is not generous at all!" Su Jianxia launched a serious accusation against Hu Hai.
Hu Hai leaned back and said as a matter of course: "It's not that you haven't read history, and you don't know that I was originally a fool, and I usually like to tease little girls when I have nothing to do." ”
Su Jianxia was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Hu Hai was satisfied, patted Wei Ziqi's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Brother, you must be cautious when you really get married, you look at me, I have found seven wives, one is more than a tiger, although every man envies me, but do you think I am happy?" I don't dare to go out to see them every day, it's so bad. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Su Jianxia intentionally or unintentionally.
Su saw that Xia's eyebrows were raised, and seeing that he was about to be out, Wei Ziqi hurriedly coughed twice, "That, it doesn't matter what his previous name was, let's call him Yang, this is his new name now." ”
"That's not the point anymore, the point is that he just said bad things about me!" Su Jianxia frowned, and was about to continue, when suddenly he saw Hu Hai's computer screen, which was stuck on the interface of a classic two-word game, Su Jianxia couldn't hold back for a while, and burst into a foul mouth, "Woc, original?" ”
Hu Hai's face was as ugly as eating a dead fly in the next second, he reached out and turned off the computer screen directly, and then looked at Su Jianxia, neither of the two of them let anyone, their eyes were for tat.
"Can you two do something serious?" Wei Ziqi hurriedly came out to play the round.
"I didn't see her insulting me." Hu Hai gritted his teeth and said.
"Each other, each other." Su Jianxia confronted the famous Qin II in history.
Seeing this, Wei Ziqi simply spread his hands and began to bow his head to taste tea, simply ignoring the two of them.
Hu Shouyu in the back was a little nervous, holding the backpack in his hand, wanting to speak again and again, wanting to stand up and say something, but he never mustered up the courage.
Xu Chenxi on the side was not like he had been observing curiously everywhere when he first came in, and he was also sitting upright on the chair at this time, his face was calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
When Wei Zi Kai quickly finished a cup of tea, the confrontation between the two finally ended.
Hu Hai was the first to lose, turned his head and waved his hand, "Forget it, if you really count the ancestors on the first page of your family tree according to your age, you have to call me ancestor, so I don't care about the little girl." ”
"Then the emperor is really an adult." Su Jianxia teased, then sat back on the stool with satisfaction, and beckoned to Hu Shouyu, "Mr. Hu, come and talk about your business." ”
Hu Shouyu was already very anxious in the back, and when he heard the call to himself, he quickly jumped up from the chair, forcibly suppressed the tension and excitement in his heart, and walked to the three of them as smoothly as possible.
"Win...... Mr. Hu? Hu Shouyu asked tentatively, and after seeing Hu Hai frowning slightly, Su Jianxia hurriedly stabbed him with his arm, and he immediately reacted: "Mr. Yang!" ”
Hu Hai nodded, "Take the things out." ”
Hu Shouyu hurriedly opened his backpack and carefully placed the jade statue that had now been dyed blood red on the table in front of Hu Hai, and the moment it touched the tabletop, the last touch of white at the bottom of the jade statue also completely turned red.
Wei Ziqi glanced back quietly, and when all the jade statues turned red, Xu Chenxi's face behind him was a little unnatural, as if he was suppressing something.
Hu Hai looked at the jade statue, closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the seat, as if he was thinking about something.
As the minutes ticked by, the hands of the clock on the wall had shifted from three to four.
It's summer, but the temperature here is always in the mid-twenties.
Despite this, Hu Shouyu, who was standing there, still couldn't control his sweating all the time, and most of the clothes behind him were wet, coupled with the recent family incidents, his thin body was now a little unbearable to stand in place for an hour.
Su Jianxia looked at Hu Shouyu's legs and began to tremble slightly, a little unbearable, just wanted to open his mouth to let Hu Shouyu go back and sit and wait first, Hu Hai opened his eyes and looked at Hu Shouyu.
Hu Shouyu quickly stood up straighter, trying his best to stabilize his legs.
"Does Mr. Hu know the origin of this jade statue?" Hu Hai asked.
"When I was a child, I heard the elders in my family tell about it." Hu Shouyu nodded, and repeated what he had said to Wei Ziqi and the others in Chaoge that day.
"What about other than that? In which tomb was this jade statue unearthed? What is the true origin of the jade statue? What is the identity of the woman who is sealed inside? Hu Hai continued to ask.
Hu Shouyu lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then whispered: "I haven't heard the elders in my family mention this. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Shouyu heard the strange woman named Xu Chenxi behind him sneer,
Looking back, Xu Chenxi looked at him with a somewhat mocking smile on his face, and Hu Shouyu couldn't help but shiver.
When he came back and was about to ask Xu Chenxi what he meant, Hu Hai asked again: "Did you really not mention it, or did you dare not say it?" ”
Hu Shouyu's heart sank, swallowed his saliva, and secretly glanced at Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia before hesitating and said: "I once heard an elder in the family inadvertently say a little, as if this jade statue is sealed...... She is the first generation of the main mother of the family. ”
Hearing what Hu Shouyu said, Su saw that Xia Gang was about to drink tea with a hand that suddenly shook, and some of the tea in the cup spilled out and spilled on his legs.
Su Jianxia casually took out two pieces of paper and wiped the tea on his legs, first glanced at Wei Ziqi, Wei Ziqi didn't seem surprised, as if he already knew the answer.
"Why didn't you talk about it when you came to the store that day?" Su Jianxia looked at Hu Shouyu and felt a little unhappy, "Come and ask us for help, and hide it." ”
Hu Shouyu hurriedly explained: "I'm really sorry, Miss Su. It's just that this thing is really ugly, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and our family has always regarded this incident as the biggest shame of the family, and no one wants to mention it. ”
"Then your family is indeed quite disgusting, take this matter as a shame, and enjoy the benefits brought to the family by your mastermother, and do not hesitate to let her soul be sealed in this jade statue for thousands of years." Su Jianxia sneered.
Hu Shouyu lowered his head, a little at a loss, and only held back a sentence for a long time: "I thought at first that who was sealed here should have little impact on this matter, so I didn't say it." And we also built an ancestral hall for the main mother in the family, and worshiped the ...... every day."
"Offerings? Are you sure it's called an offering? Instead of someone teaching you this method, so that you can use this way of sacrifice to keep her soul in the jade statue forever? Before Hu Shouyu could finish speaking, a slightly angry female voice interrupted him.
The sudden sound frightened Hu Shouyu, and he looked around a little nervously, trying to find the source of the sound.
There are only two women in the room, and it will naturally not be Su Jianxia who says this, but only the somewhat mysterious Xu Chenxi.
"Miss Xu, do we know each other? Why do you seem to know so much about our Hu family? Hu Shouyu couldn't help but ask.
Xu Chenxi's face was expressionless, "Of course we don't know each other, it's just that what your Hu family has done is too ugly, and it's hard to let people know about it." ”
"It's true that what we did was wrong, but if we really talk about it, this thing was also done by the head of the family more than a thousand years ago, and it has nothing to do with us. That way of worship has also been passed down from generation to generation from our ancestors, and we are also sincere about the confession of the hostess, and please Miss Xu not to slander our Hu family. ”
"It's really the same virtue as before." After Xu Chenxi said this, he stopped looking at him.
Hu Shouyu only felt a little puzzled, he just said that he didn't know himself, why is he the same virtue as before now?
"What if this has something to do with you?" Hu Hai asked suddenly.
Hu Shouyu was stunned for a moment, his face was strange, "Hu ...... Mr. Yang, this is a joke, right? That was more than a thousand years ago, and I'm only forty years old......"
Hu Hai looked at Hu Shouyu, "I'll tell you a story, about your family." ”
