After a few days of busy work with vegetables, rice, oil and salt, the new house finally had a taste of home, the taste of the home of the two brothers and sisters of the Tang Dynasty. It also included the environment of the community outside the house. Taking advantage of their free time, the two of them took a basic tour of the community.
After reading it all over, the results were eye-opening.
It must be said that it is a high-end community. Putting aside the essential living facilities, there are walking trails, dedicated trails for morning and night runs, vehicle driving avenues, vegetation gardens, etc. It is well planned and the green ecosystem is perfect. There are even
There is a small playground and a summer water park. In addition, at the end of the villa area, there is a river beach belonging to the community, which is shaped like a crescent moon, hence the name Moon Bay. The scenery is extremely beautiful.
The people who can live here are naturally rich or noble, unlike the two brothers and sisters who lived here in a daze.
When I get up early in the morning and go for a morning run, I can easily meet a few big shots in the business section of the local newspaper. Of course, they are all old men, and the brother and sister don't pay attention to them. However, Tang Chao knows a few of them and even said hello to them.
We chatted a few words, but not really
Big care. To put it bluntly, when it comes to wealth and nobility, no one who has dealt with the Tang Dynasty in the previous life can compare with these people. Whether they are hired as bodyguards or as assassination targets, these people
People are not qualified enough.
Tangdou was very excited and ran outside from time to time because she met several celebrities that she could only see on the screen before. Among them was a female singer she liked very much. Her name was Chu Fengya. It was said that
She was a little singing diva. I met her when I was taking a walk in the evening. At that time, the little girl was very excited and her hands and feet were shaking.
She was a little trembling and looked like a crazy fan, but she didn't dare to say hello until the two parties passed each other. She only waited for the other party to walk away before cheering and shouting, and then filled Tang Chao Amway with various gossips about the other party along the way.
, such as how hard you work, how good your songs are, how many honors you have won, etc.
It's a pity that Tang Chao didn't get much information, and the impression is not deep. Generally speaking, this girl has a good figure and should have the habit of exercising. In addition, her brain may not be very good. She wears a pair of toad glasses when she goes out for a walk at night.
, isn’t this a disease? Are you afraid of falling into a ditch?
Of course, the following words were spoken by Tang Chao in his heart. They were related to idol stars. Girls of this age group are quite temperamental. He knew the importance.
A few more days passed, and finally, the weekend came.
This day is the day when Tangdou officially reunites with his relatives.
In the morning, Xie Jianping drove over, picked up the brothers and sisters, and first took them to a beauty salon to dress up Tangdou and put on the gorgeous clothes that he had prepared. Tang Chao also followed suit and got a new coat.
, and then drove all the way to Ziguan Mountain.
After arriving at the Xie family's old house and getting off the car, Tang Chao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows even though he was mentally prepared. Tangdou was obviously shocked.
There is still a big gap between the online pictures and the actual situation. At least from the pictures alone, you cannot intuitively feel the magnificence contained in the mountainside building that covers an unknown area.
Green tiles and white walls, cornices and arched walls.
If we only talk about the appearance, this building with obvious old Republic of China style is not as good as the novel and elegant European-style villas in Jiangyue Mansion. But when you really stand in front of it, you can caress every piece of wind and rain brought by the time.
When you look up at the scratches on the bricks and gray gray walls covered with mottled and sparse shadows, you will be enveloped in a thick atmosphere, and then be shocked. This is a heavy heritage that can only be accumulated over a long period of time.
"This is great-grandmother... Hello great-grandmother, I wish you good health... This is grandpa and grandma... Hello grandpa and grandma... This is the mayor, and your uncle... Hello, uncle mayor... Haha, let's call you uncle.
Well...this is your third uncle...this is also your third uncle..."
The Xie family has been spreading for nearly a century. The direct line continues, and there are countless collateral lines. The size of the clan is huge. There are also various kinds of relatives. Even though the terms of relatives in Chinese culture are already considered complete, they still don’t seem big enough here.
use.
Fortunately, there were Xie Wei and Xie Jianping on the side to introduce it. The dressed-up and slightly reserved Tangdou only had to repeat it, but I guess after this round, it would be good to remember five or six in the end.
The attitude of the relatives was all right, and they were kind and amiable, at least on the surface. Then Tangdou got rich, with a red envelope on the left and a greeting gift on the right. The pile was almost half a person high. If this were the case for ordinary money lovers,
I laughed so hard that I couldn't see my teeth, but now I'm completely numb. I call someone, say thank you, accept the gift, and then hand it to the butler next to me. It's a standard process, and I don't even look at it for a second time.
The next step is to wait for auspicious times, worship at the ancestral hall, and record names in the genealogy.
Tang Chao, who had been watching with cold eyes, couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The fucked up situation he was worried about before did not happen.
The Xie family's approach is very authentic, even beyond expectations. It seems that they really care about the jelly beans. Because the more orderly the family is, the more it pays attention to tradition. Even if they keep pace with the times, in reality... there is no progress.
Where to go? Just a girl like Tangdou, whose father’s surname is Tang and whose mother’s surname is Xie. Logically speaking, she is not qualified to step into the gate of Xie’s ancestral hall, let alone worship and register her name like now.
.
Of course, to a certain extent, it also means that the Xie family is very dissatisfied with the in-law relationship on the other side of Tangdou's father. This is the fact that for such a big thing as the return of blood relatives, even if they don't look down on it, they must at least be polite.
Let me know. But now, there is no relative named Tang... Oh, except Tang Chao himself...
After the worship is completed, the next process will be more free.
Just like a charity banquet, charity is the theme, but it does not hinder communication and business. As a long-established local snake like the Xie family, the relationship in LJ City is complicated, and there are countless people who follow it. It is rare to have such a public occasion, where a local person with a good reputation can
And basically everything is there, so there is no need to say much about the excitement.
For example, Xie Jianping, who is in the security business, was chatting and laughing with people while holding red wine. He seemed to want to contract security work for a concert. When Tang Chao passed by and looked for the bathroom, he also heard a name that he had become familiar with recently.
, Chu Fengya...oh, that little queen wearing toad glasses...
Conversations like this happen in every corner, even in the bathroom.
“Mr.
"Mr. Luo, you are so polite. I heard that you have been very prosperous recently. The land in the development zone fell into the hands of your group last month. He is just a small reporter. He can just say hello to the newspaper and TV station.
?”
"If only it were that simple. I've asked around and found out that the crazy girl belongs to Director Guo's family."
"Which Director Guo...the newly transferred prosecutor general? I really can't help you with this. My brother knows he has to scold me to death. Mr. Luo, you'd better ask for your own blessings."
"Life is at stake. Please help me, Mr. Xie. I know you have a broad path... In this way, as long as you can get through this, I will give up 30% of the land in the development zone. This is what Director Yu means..."
The door creaked, and the voices inside suddenly stopped. Tang Chao walked in helplessly. He had no choice but to turn around and leave if he could find a second bathroom. It was not because he was afraid of getting into trouble, but because the other party was already looking for the bathroom.
Isn’t it a little, um, impolite to just barge in when we talk about this kind of thing in a hidden place?
Beside the sink, two middle-aged men called out. The one on the left looked familiar. He had a face with a Chinese character and his bangs were combed upward into a big man's back. Looking at Tang Chao, he was slightly stunned at first, and then suddenly realized, "You are... Xiao Tang
, Tang Dynasty? Xiaotang’s brother, right? Ha, I must have called you right, your name is quite impressive.”
As a kind person who picked up and raised jelly beans for eight years, Tang Chao was naturally introduced to the Xie family. It must be said that this name is highly recognizable, and he was remembered in more than one glance. As for the other party, Tang Chao also had an impression.
Because he is directly related to the Xie family, the third brother of Tangdou's mother, and also the third uncle of Tangdou.
However, Tang Chao still looked confused on the surface. Hao Ran scratched his head: "Well, it's me, uncle has a good memory."
"Haha, it seems you don't remember. It doesn't matter, since you are Xiaotang's recognized brother, then you can also call me Third Uncle." Third Uncle with a Chinese character face waved his hand casually, "I heard Jianping say you guys
We live in Jiangyue Mansion now, right? How about it? Are you still used to it? If not, just move here. It will be a matter of time anyway. This place is spacious, just enough for Xiaotang to spend more time with grandma, and the old man will be happy too."
"I live well, move here... This mainly depends on the jelly beans, oh, which means little sugar. After all, we just met each other not long ago." Tang Chao replied hesitantly.
"Oh, let's talk about it then. By the way, Xiao Tang, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future? Or go to my place. It doesn't matter. Someone will teach you." This third uncle had a strong character towards the younger generation and didn't say much.
The sentence is full of the intention of making arrangements. But when you think about it, it is normal. It is said that the so-called living Qi and nourishing the body are directly related to the Xie family, so they will naturally get along well.
The balding middle-aged man next to him, who should be Mr. Luo, also echoed: "Yes, you can go to Mr. Xie's place to get a job. Xiao Tang, why don't you thank your third uncle quickly? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Tang Chao scratched his head, still looking like he was new to the world: "But Uncle Jianping has already arranged a job for him as a security guard, and the salary is quite high."
This is not made up, it does happen, and it was just settled not long ago.
Xie Jianping is in the security business, which also includes providing property management for some high-end residential areas, and Jiangyue Mansion is one of them. As for being a security guard, that is what Tang Chao wanted to do. In fact, Xie Jianping gave many choices, and each one was
It's very promising, but as for anyone in the Tang Dynasty, they have seen everything they should and should not see in their previous lives, so they have no ambition in living another life. Besides, being a security guard can be considered a professional counterpart, and killers and bodyguards are all members of the same family.
However, it was obvious that the third uncle with the Chinese character face did not think so. He raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "Security? Haha, this Xie Jianping..." He shook his head and looked very disapproving, but he didn't say anything else. He just said a few words.
He was declined twice. With his strong character, he said he didn't care, but he must have felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He obviously gave up the idea of continuing to chat, said hello casually, and the two left the bathroom.
The Tang Dynasty did not take this seriously. After all, given the huge disparity between the two sides, the probability of future dealings with each other was almost zero.
However, things in the world are often so strange...
