After eating out at noon and shopping in the afternoon, Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue finally decided to go and pay Wang Tiezhu New Year greetings.
Now Wang Tiezhu is their adoptive father. It would be a great loss of etiquette not to visit Yanjing, and it would be an even greater loss of etiquette not to visit him during the Spring Festival.
When they went to the shopping mall to choose gifts, the two of them spent a lot of time thinking. In the end, Xu Bing only bought two bottles of good wine and another good cigarette. Since Wang Tiezhu smoked and drank, Xu Bing felt that he was in his favor.
.
Wang Tiezhu's family is not short of money, that's for sure. Ordinary gifts may not be in his eyes, but this cigarette and wine are suitable.
Tang Yanxue called in advance. When Wang Tiezhu heard that his goddaughter was coming, he was so happy that he made an appointment to have dinner at his house at seven o'clock.
By the time Xu Bing arrived at Yunrun Community, it was already 6:30 in the evening. The security guard at the door had a very good look and actually recognized Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue. However, the security guard still asked them to register and called them to confirm.
Then it was released.
The person who opened the door was Aunt Zheng. As soon as she saw Tang Yanxue, she hugged her and seemed particularly affectionate.
Wang Tiezhu and Aunt Zheng are close friends, and they have not adopted any adopted sons or daughters. Tang Yanxue is the first one, so the treatment she enjoys is naturally extraordinary.
Xu Bing was really envious.
After entering the living room, I discovered that there was someone in Wang Tiezhu's family.
Wang Tiezhu was sitting in the living room chatting with a young junior. The young junior was of average growth, but he had an imposing manner and was well-dressed. He looked like he was not an ordinary kid. He was probably in his twenties or eighties.
"Old Wang, Xiaoxue and Xiao Xu are here." Aunt Zheng took the cigarettes and wine from Xu Bing's hand and said reproachfully: "We are all one family, why should we buy gifts? Really, this won't happen again."
Wang Tiezhu laughed and waved, asking Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue to sit next to him.
"Happy New Year, Dad." Tang Yanxue said with a sweet mouth.
"Happy New Year, Uncle Wang." Xu Bing's mouth was also very sweet.
The young junior on the side looked at Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue with some doubts, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but soon, a calm and gentle smile appeared on his face again.
"Okay, okay, happy New Year to you all. Come, come, let me introduce you. This is the son of my good friend, Song Jian. He may be a few years older than you. He is now a civil servant. You young people should communicate more in the future.
Xiao Song is a well-known talent in Yanjing. He is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Moreover, his official career is going smoothly now, and his future will be unlimited."
Wang Tiezhu introduced the young junior to the two of them. The latter smiled at Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue and said modestly: "Uncle Wang is so flattering to me. Hello, my name is Song Jian, and I am here to pay Uncle Wang New Year's greetings today."
, nice to meet you."
Song Jian's eyes stayed on Tang Yanxue's face for a little longer, but he looked polite and well-educated.
Xu Bing shook hands with Song Jian and said with a smile: "You're welcome, we want to learn from you."
"By the way, Xiao Song, let me introduce you. This is Xiaoxue, my goddaughter. This is Xiaoxue's boyfriend, Xu Bing. They are both students at Nanjing University now. You have to take care of them in the future.
Ah." Wang Tiezhu laughed.
Song Jian's eyes were a little surprised, but in Xu Bing's view, this surprise did not seem to be real. It seemed that he had done it deliberately and was not natural at all.
"Are you Xu Bing?"
Song Jian looked admiring and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, Xu Bing is very famous. I have heard about it a long time ago."
"Oh?" Wang Tiezhu said curiously: "You didn't know him before, right? He is a student, how could you have heard of his name?"
"You really don't know?" Song Jian said with a smile on his face: "Li Xiangguo was beaten badly by him! Haha, Xu Bing, you are very strong. Who in Yanjing doesn't know now that you beat Li Xiangguo
I seem to have fought against the prince twice, but you are fine now. I really admire you!"
Xu Bing smiled coquettishly, frowned slightly and said, "If I make you laugh, that's because the prince doesn't care about me."
"The prince loves talents, I know it." Song Jian smiled and gave Xu Bing a thumbs up: "Anyway, I still admire your courage."
"What happened? Xiao Xu, why did you have a conflict with Li Xiangguo?" Wang Tiezhu frowned deeply.
Xu Bingnai had no choice but to briefly describe what happened. Wang Tiezhu asked, "What about now? He didn't trouble you, right?"
"No." Xu Bing smiled and said: "Uncle Wang, you don't have to worry too much. If there is really trouble with this kind of thing, I will deal with it myself."
"Look at what you said, you are my goddaughter's boyfriend. If you are in trouble, why don't I help you? It's okay. When I am free, I will go to Li's house to have a look. His family and I still have some problems.
Friendship, I can help you reconcile——"
"Uncle Wang." Xu Bing interrupted Wang Tiezhu's words and frowned: "I can handle this matter myself, so I don't need Uncle Wang to worry about it. Moreover, this matter is over and there will be no sequelae, so don't worry about it.
Bar."
Seeing that Xu Bing's face was very serious, Wang Tiezhu hesitated and said: "Okay, you guys sit down first, young people, let's chat casually, I will go to the kitchen to help cook, and I will call you after dinner."
"Dad, I'll go too." Tang Yanxue also stood up.
Wang Tiezhu laughed and said: "Okay."
Wang Tiezhu and Tang Yanxue entered the kitchen, and suddenly only Xu Bing and Song Jian were left in the living room. Xu Bing noticed that Song Jian glanced at Tang Yanxue intentionally, and something strange flashed in his eyes.
Xu Bing is very sensitive. He is a pervert. As a competent pervert, he must be particularly sensitive to the eyes of women. But to the eyes of men, he is not only sensitive, but also defensive and vigilant.
So he saw some features, and he felt that there was a trace of lust in Song Jian's eyes.
However, Xu Bing thinks this is normal. Song Jian is so clear about the affair between him and the prince or Li Xiangguo, which shows that Song Jian is also a member of the circle. In this case, as a young man in the capital, if he does not feel tempted when he sees a beautiful woman
, that’s really strange.
Song Jian was very polite, which Xu Bing valued, so he was a little wary of Song Jian, but he didn't have any bad feelings.
After all, Song Jian is also Wang Tiezhu's guest, and from the time Xu Bing entered the house to now, Song Jian's conversation and movements have been very decent, without any of the bad habits of his second generation ancestor.
"Brother Xu, oh, by the way, can I call you brother?" Song Jian said with a smile.
Xu Bing smiled and said: "You are too polite. We are both young people. It is best to treat each other as brothers."
"Okay, haha, Brother Xu is so lucky. Being able to find such an excellent girlfriend really makes me jealous. I heard that there are many beauties at Nanjing University. If you have the opportunity in the future, can you introduce some to me?" Song Jian laughed.
road.
Xu Bing heard it. Song Jian's praise of Tang Yanxue was true, but the second half of the sentence was a joke, so he could only laugh and said: "Brother Song is too humble. With his youth, talent and family background, he must be a good person in Yanjing."
There are a lot of beauties throwing themselves into my arms, right?"
"Brother understands people, but you praise me too much. I am a straightforward person and don't like to say those hypocritical words. To be honest, I have also dated several girlfriends, and they are all good-looking, but compared to Miss Tang
But that's far from it, they are all vulgar fans!"
"Brother Song is too polite." Xu Bing said with a smile.
The two chatted for a few more words, all about topics that young men would talk about when they were together, many of which were matters related to the romantic field, and the distance between the two suddenly became very close.
The more they chatted, the more enjoyable they became. By the time they were having dinner, Xu Bing and Song Jian seemed to have been good friends for many years.
When Wang Tiezhu saw this, he was extremely happy. He took out two bottles of wine and drank slowly with Xu Bing and Song Jian. The three of them had good drinking capacity. After finishing the two bottles of wine, none of them felt drunk.
After dinner, Tang Yanxue and Aunt Zheng went into the kitchen together, while Wang Tiezhu invited Xu Bing and Song Jian to sit down on the sofa and chat.
Wang Tiezhu brought out a rather simple tea set and said he wanted to make tea for the two of them. Only then did Xu Bing realize that Wang Tiezhu still had this kind of hobby. He regretted not buying some tea for Wang Tiezhu in the mall just now.
"Uncle Wang, how about I make you a pot of tea?" Song Jian's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled.
Wang Tiezhu was stunned and said with some surprise: "You also know tea art?"
"I have studied with the masters of the Yanjing Club for a period of time, and I only have a superficial understanding of tea art. I would never pretend to know tea art. But when I saw Uncle Wang's tea set, I couldn't help but feel itchy. It was too
It's rude, Uncle Wang, don't laugh at me because I don't know etiquette." Song Jian said politely.
Wang Tiezhu laughed: "Your father and I are good friends, so don't be so polite. It's rare to meet someone who understands tea. Well, you can make the tea while I enjoy it."
"Uncle Wang must give you more advice."
Song Jian smiled slightly and took over Wang Tiezhu's work, boiling water, washing pots, and more than a dozen procedures. If one omission was made, Song Jian was really proficient in tea art. The whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, and he had a vague sense of everyone's style.
Xu Bing watched with fascination and admiration in his heart. Although he didn't understand tea art, but just by looking at Wang Tiezhu's expression, he knew that Song Jian's tea art skills were definitely not ordinary.
"Uncle Wang, Brother Xu, please."
Finally, Song Jian poured a small cup for each of them.
Xu Bing and Wang Tiezhu drank.
Xu Bing actually couldn't taste anything. Apart from the refreshing fragrance, he didn't have much reaction. However, Wang Tiezhu reacted greatly. He first squinted his eyes slightly, then opened them sharply and praised loudly.
"Xiao Song, I really didn't expect that you are so proficient in tea art. I am not as good as you. If you have the opportunity in the future, how about you come and discuss tea art with me more often?" Wang Tiezhu invited sincerely.
A trace of joy flashed in Song Jian's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Okay, Uncle Wang doesn't think I'm annoying, then I will definitely come to tease you often in the future."
"Don't worry, I'll be happy as long as you come. It's just that you are very busy at work and don't have much free time." Wang Tiezhu said with emotion.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Tang Yanxue and Aunt Zheng came out. Not long after they sat down, Song Jian suddenly smiled at Wang Tiezhu and said, "Uncle Wang, I have a request, I don't know if I should take it seriously or not!"
"Say it." Wang Tiezhu was in a very good mood and smiled: "Don't be so polite."
Song Jian glanced at Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue, and then said: "Brother Xu and I hit it off right away. When they come to Yanjing, I should do my best to be a landlord. Young people can't sit at home all the time and have to go out at night.
Let's drink, sing, and communicate with them. I wonder what Uncle Wang thinks?"
