Seeing Mr. Meng coming out in person, Hu Baoguo hurriedly rushed forward, but he did not dare to help the old man with his hands. Everyone knew that Mr. Meng was getting older and stronger, and he resented others having to support him at every turn."
{}..{}
A few years ago, a newly appointed leader paid New Year's greetings to Mr. Meng, but he didn't know the old man's temper. At that time, he helped the old man with his hand, but he was thrown away by the old man, which made him feel a little helpless.
"Okay, I had dinner yesterday and walked more than three miles..." The old man's laughter was very hearty. Behind the courtyard where he lived, there was a small park that was not big. It was very quiet inside. Mr. Meng used to
I often go for walks there, but my health has been deteriorating in recent years, so I haven’t gone there for a while.
However, after he was discharged from the hospital yesterday, he resumed the habit of walking in the park. Without anyone's support, the old man walked for more than half an hour without feeling tired. However, the accompanying health doctor was worried.
Yu was shocked again.
"Grandpa, Qin Feng said, you can't exercise that much yet. Did the health doctor train you again yesterday?" After hearing the old man's words, Meng Yao stepped forward and took his grandfather's arm, saying: "In the future,
It is stipulated that you can only walk one mile a day..."
"Oh, you are better than a health doctor..." Hearing his granddaughter's words, the old man burst into laughter. He is the most doting on his granddaughter at home. Sometimes when the old man loses his temper, he only needs Meng Yao to come over and act coquettishly.
, then I’m sure nothing will happen.
For example, when Meng Lin was naughty when he was young, he accidentally broke his grandfather's beloved inkstone, which made the old man furious.
However, after Meng Yao stood up and said that she had broken it, the old man immediately turned from anger to joy. In a sudden change, he said that he had disliked the inkstone for a long time. It was broken and it was time to replace it with a new one, so who in the Meng family
Everyone knows that the old man is the most partial.
"Dad, the guests are still outside. Let Minister Hu and Xiao Qin go in and sit down..."
Meng Yao's father was busy with work and could not stay with his father. These days, Meng Yao's mother accompanied the old man. When he saw several people standing inside the door and talking, he quickly came up and invited Hu Baoguo to sit in the room.
.
"Yes, let's go and sit in the house. Xiao Hu, I heard that you have a good drinking capacity. Don't leave at noon. I can have a few drinks with the old man..." He felt the changes in his body yesterday, so Mr. Meng is in a very high mood today.
He turned back to his daughter-in-law and said: "Go back and find my fifty-year-old Maotai. I want to have a few drinks at night..."
"Grandpa, you are looking for an excuse to drink again..." Meng Yao said from the side: "Didn't the doctor say you must not drink this wine? Why don't you always listen?"
"Yes, Chief, you are not in good health, so you should not drink..." After hearing what Mr. Meng said, Hu Baoguo couldn't help but complain secretly. His work had been delayed for two days. He originally wanted to go back to the meeting soon, but he didn't.
If I want the old man to stay as a guest, I must give him this face.
"Isn't this happy..."
The old man laughed and said: "Seeing that this annoying girl like you is getting married, and no one will care about me anymore, I have to drink a few drinks to celebrate. No, I have to use that bottle of eighty-year-old wine."
Take out Maotai and tell you that this was left behind when passing through Maotai Town on the Long March. This is the only bottle..."
"Grandpa..." Meng Yao reluctantly pulled the old man's arm.
"Yao Yao. It's okay for grandpa to drink a few drinks. Drinking less is also good for your health..." Qin Feng started to speak. In fact, the old man's physical condition is now similar to that of an old man in his sixties or seventies, and he has no other physical problems.
There is absolutely no problem in drinking less alcohol.
"Really?" Meng Yao looked at Qin Feng, finally nodded, and said, "Then drink less, you can only drink three cups..."
"You girl, grandpa's words are not as good as Qin Feng's, right?" The old man hit his granddaughter on the head and said, "Let's go inside and talk..."
"Xiao Qin, what do you have in this bag?" Seeing Qin Feng following behind with a big backpack, Meng Yao's mother asked casually. She had seen many gift-givers, but she had never seen them before.
I brought a backpack as tall as a person as a gift.
"Auntie, Minister Hu said, this is the betrothal gift..." Qin Feng was so thick-skinned. As soon as he blurted out these words, Meng Yao, who was walking in front, blushed in embarrassment and turned her head to glare at Qin Feng.
wind.
"Oh, what age are we in now, what kind of gift do we need..."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Meng Yao's mother glanced at Qin Feng angrily and said: "You kid, you didn't even call your aunt to tell me before you came here. Minister Hu, you did the same. We are marrying daughters, not...
The one who sells his daughter..."
Although she said she didn't need to give any gifts, it could be seen that Meng Yao's mother was still very happy. She didn't care whether the things were valuable or not. The most important thing was that the intention was fulfilled, which was more important than anything else.
"Sister-in-law, you can't say that. You can't just take advantage of Qin Feng, right?"
Minister Hu chuckled and said: "Qin Feng is so mysterious that he hasn't told me what the betrothal gift is until now. If he can't get it later, sister-in-law, you can't let him off lightly..."
"As long as you have this intention, Qin Feng's life is not easy..."
As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes her son-in-law. Meng Yao's mother knew that Qin Feng's family had suffered changes since he was a child, and a lonely man created this industry. Her heart was filled with maternal love, and she wished she could treat Qin Feng as her son.
Came to see.
"By the way, Minister Hu, it's a bit hasty for the two of them to get married now..." After sitting down in the living room of the wing, Meng's mother said to Hu Baoguo: "I want to get an engagement for these two children before the year before.
Do you like the ceremony?"
Meng Yao's mother knew that her daughter needed Qin Feng to stay with her because of her illness. However, the Meng family was also a powerful family in the capital. The unmarried people lived together. She was afraid that someone would gossip, so she thought of the engagement.
, also to let others know that the two of them have established a relationship.
"Okay, of course..." Hu Baoguo slapped his thigh and said, "Sister-in-law, what you are saying is that we must do a good job in this engagement ceremony. I will arrange it. Sister-in-law and the chief, you can rest assured..."
"Xiao Hu, just let your family have a meal, don't disturb others..." The old man waved his hand to interrupt Hu Baoguo and said, "It's okay for women to take care of these things. Don't worry about it. The girl will take care of it. Come over then."
Just have a drink..."
"Okay then. I'll listen to the chief." Hu Baoguo nodded, glanced at Qin Feng, and said, "Can you come up with your bride price? Let me tell you, if my sister-in-law doesn't like it, I won't forgive you.
your……"
"Minister Hu, Qin Feng has actually given me a betrothal gift..."
Meng Yao didn't know what was in Qin Feng's backpack. She was afraid that what Qin Feng took out was not as good as the set of jade jewelry. She raised her wrist and put it in front of her mother and said, "Mom, you see, this is a gift from Qin Feng."
I have an jade bracelet, earrings, necklace and brooch, which is a set of jade jewelry..."
"Huh? The color of this bracelet is very good. Take it off and show it to mom..." Mother Meng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw her daughter's bracelet.
"Xiao Qin, isn't this bracelet too expensive?" After a while, Mother Meng raised her head and said to Qin Feng: "You must have put a lot of thought into making such a bracelet, right?"
Mother Meng is a person who knows the goods, and you can tell just from the color and greenery. I am afraid that this pair of bracelets is worth at least 50 million, and it is also the kind that has a price but no market. If you want to buy it
, generally you need to try your luck at the auction.
Born in a wealthy family, Meng Yao's mother didn't care much about money, but the amount of money spent often represents a person's sincerity, so after seeing this bracelet, Meng Yao's mother showed a look of satisfaction on her face.
I'm afraid there's no other shop in the whole capital that can afford this set of jade jewelry as a betrothal gift.
"Auntie, I got this from "True Jade Workshop"..." Qin Feng replied with a smile. He knew that True Jade Workshop was his own property and he would definitely not be able to hide it from Meng Yao's mother.
"Then it's not easy to get this set of items..." Mother Meng nodded and said to her daughter: "This bracelet is fragile. Don't wear it when nothing happens. Put it away later..."
"I got it, Mom..." Meng Yao agreed with a smile. Meng Yao was a little stressed with a gadget worth fifty to six million dollars on her hand.
"Okay, isn't it just a bracelet? As long as the girl likes to wear it." The old man didn't have any feelings for jade or anything like that. He looked at Qin Feng's backpack and said, "It depends on what you mean, the items in this backpack,
It’s better than this bracelet, isn’t it?”
"I can't say it's better than the bracelet, but that bracelet was carved by someone else, but I got this thing myself..." Qin Feng smiled and said, "And this is my gift to the old man.
See if you like it..."
"Specially given to me?" Mr. Meng patted the table and said, "Open it, open it and let me see, what kind of object is it?"
"This is a calligraphy..." Qin Feng smiled and took out a rectangular box from his backpack. After opening it, he said: "Grandpa, this is a calligraphy written by me. Please help me take a look..."
"The tiger is in great glory!"
What Qin Feng took out was a banner with only five words written on it. However, these five words brought out the essence of Qin Feng's calligraphy to the fullest, and had a feeling of an iron horse. After spreading it out,
A wave of murderous intent rushed towards him.
"Good words!"
The old man put on his reading glasses and read every word carefully, then nodded and said: "Xiao Qin, your calligraphy is very good. It is completely different from the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Anthology". Not bad."
, I am very satisfied with this gift, Yaoyao, please keep this word well..."
"Hey, grandpa, this calligraphy is just one of the gifts..."
Seeing the old man's satisfied look, Qin Feng said with a smile: "I can't carry such a big backpack just to hold a piece of writing, right? If that's the case, Minister Hu will definitely settle the score with me after he goes back..."
"Hmm? What else?" The old man became interested, like a playful child about to get a toy, his eyes full of hope.
"Since it's a tiger, we must adapt to the situation..." Qin Feng glanced around and said, "Please borrow this table, otherwise you won't be able to put things on it..."
Qin Feng walked to the long table in the room and stopped. He thought for a moment and placed a chair on the table. Then he took out the thing from his backpack. A colorful tiger skin suddenly appeared.
In front of everyone.
Especially when Qin Feng put the tiger skin's head on the chair and completely spread out the entire tiger skin, a chilling air suddenly came to him, and the two-meter-long tiger seemed to be alive. It was timid.
He didn't even dare to look directly.
"Huh? This... this is a rare thing..."
Seeing the tiger skin, the old man stood up suddenly, walked to the table and stretched out his hand to touch the tiger skin. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Good thing, Qin Feng, I could get a skin cover for this thing in the past."
Wearing Lao Han’s legs. That’s a wealthy family, where did you get such a complete one?”
"Xiao Qin, this...this tiger is a protected animal. You...how do you give this object?" Before Qin Feng could answer, Meng Yao's mother said, "Hu Baoguo is standing next to me. This thing seems to be just...
It's under his control.
"What happened to the tiger? How do you protect animals? Tigers can hurt people, but people can't kill tigers?" The old man was very dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law's words, and immediately defended Qin Feng.
For people like Mr. Meng who have experienced the Southern and Northern Wars, and countless people have died at his hands, there is no concept of animal protection in their minds. When he was fighting guerrillas in the mountains,
He himself didn't know how many rare animals he had hunted with his own hands.
"Qin Feng, don't be afraid, I will take care of this for you, old man..." Mr. Meng glanced at Hu Baoguo and said, "Xiao Hu, this tiger skin is mine now. Do you have any objections?"
"No, what do I have to say?"
Hu Baoguo, who originally pretended not to see the tiger skin, saw the fire burning on his body and said quickly: "Old man, this tiger skin is very effective in keeping the elderly warm. Qin Feng is also filial. It is understandable and sentimental.
But it’s so…”
Hu Baoguo just attended a work meeting some time ago. It was about animal skin smuggling and other criminal activities. But now he can only pretend not to see it. Is it possible that he will ask someone to come to the old man's house to take away the tiger skin? I'm afraid his people can't even open the door.
Can't get in.
"Minister Hu, let me tell you, do you dare to accept this gift?" Seeing Hu Baoguo's deflated look, Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"Xiao Qin, tell me, where did your tiger skin come from?" Mr. Meng touched the smooth fur and said to Qin Feng: "This tanning process is good, but the time should not be very long, it won't be
Did you hunt recently?"
"Grandpa has good eyesight..."
After hearing what the old man said, Qin Feng raised his thumb and said: "It was really hunted recently, Minister Hu, don't worry, I didn't hunt this tiger in China, but in Siberia, a Russian animal."
The protection law has nothing to do with me..."
"Bad boy, smuggling is not a crime..." Hu Baoguo muttered something incomprehensible, and said: "You can go back and complete the import declaration procedures in the name of handicrafts. The items given to the chief must be famous and worthy.
OK."
"Okay, I'll do this when I get back..."
Qin Feng nodded when he heard this. The old man is so old, so naturally he is not afraid of people gossiping, and no one dares to gossip. However, if this matter gets spread, the impact will not be very good. The method given by Hu Baoguo is the right way. Qin
Feng happened to declare it along with his white tiger skin.
"Qin Feng, what did you use to kill this tiger?"
The old man was lying on the tiger skin looking for something eye-catching, but he couldn't find it in several key places. He couldn't help but raised his head and asked Qin Feng strangely, this tiger skin that is not eye-catching is very rare. After all, Jingyang
The story of Wu Song fighting a tiger on the hill is just a legend.
"Grandpa, this tiger was stupid. When he was chasing me, he hit his head against a tree and died. It didn't catch the eye..." Qin Feng chuckled and made up a lie that no one believed.
"Qin Feng, this... this tiger was really killed by you?"
Meng Yao's voice was a little trembling. She most knew that Qin Feng was very powerful and knew many things, but with such a big tiger, even a dead tiger would make people look scared, let alone facing such a situation when it was still alive.
The king of beasts.
"Yao Yao, it's okay, your husband is very powerful..." Qin Feng smiled and patted Meng Yao's hand, but the last words were transmitted through the voice. With so many elders present, he still knew how to speak.
Proportionate.
"You are not allowed to take risks again..." Meng Yao's face turned red when Qin Feng said that. She held Qin Feng's hand tightly and looked up and down, fearing that he was injured somewhere.
"Girl, a man should be like Qin Feng. When your grandfather and I were young, we could kill such a tiger with our bare hands..."
Seeing the appearance of his granddaughter, the old man couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. Those big words were loud. Anyway, there is no need to file a tax return for bragging. With his status and age, except for those few people who are similar to his status and seniority, who would dare to
Refute what he said?
"That's right, the old man is wise and experienced in many battles. He can easily kill a tiger..."
"Ahem. Ahem. Now that I'm old, a good man won't mention his bravery in the past. Let's not talk about it. Let's not talk about it..."
Although there is no money for flattering, Qin Feng's flattering was so awesome that Mr. Meng's face turned red. Commanding a war was one thing, but personal bravery was another. In those days,
Apart from the founding general who was a monk, there is really no other person in the army who dares to say that he can kill a tiger with his bare hands.
"Go back and tell Meng Lin to tidy up the living room. The words are hanging on top and the tiger skin is on the bottom..." The old man fell more and more in love with the tiger skin as he looked at it. He even thought about how to put it away. It was a gift from his grandson-in-law.
He is not afraid of being seen by others.
"Dad, I'm going to cook while you guys chat..." Seeing that the old man was happy, Meng's mother didn't say anything else. Although there was a nanny at home, the old man liked to eat the food she cooked. Now that he was around, she would always try her best.
Filial piety.
During lunch, the old man indeed took out the bottle of wine he had taken away from Maotai Town. A one-pound bottle of wine is now only a little more than half a bottle left. Although the color has changed
The color is dark yellow, but it is very clear. It has a mellow and long-lasting flavor after going down the throat. It is indeed the best Maotai Qin Feng has ever tasted.
After lunch, Qin Feng and Hu Baoguo said goodbye and left. Meng Yao had just taken medicine today and needed to take a day in between, so he stayed at home with his grandfather. As the old man's health improved, he also changed his temper.
, from time to time he would stay with family members who came to visit him.
"You brat, what's wrong with you? Do you have to give me tiger skin?"
After leaving Meng's house, Hu Baoguo glared at Qin Feng angrily, "I want to send you off in private, but in front of me. You don't know what I do? Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you?"
"Brother Hu, it's just a tiger skin, what's the matter?" Qin Feng laughed when he heard this. He didn't believe that Hu Baoguo, who had gone up the mountain with him to poach with a gun in the correctional center, would care so much about this matter.
?
And Qin Feng could see that although Boss Hu was blowing his beard and staring, the envy in his eyes could not be concealed. Qin Feng knew that Hu Baoguo's favorite thing back then was hunting, so who would tell him that tigers are protective
Animals, Boss Hu will definitely spit on the other person's face.
"It's just a piece of tiger skin? I don't even dare to touch this thing now..."
Hu Baoguo sighed and said: "Master, he has been in prison for a long time, and his legs are not in good condition. I tried to find a piece of tiger skin to protect his legs but couldn't find it. As a disciple, I am far inferior to you.
ah……"
"Brother Hu, don't say that. When Master was alive, I didn't show much filial piety..." Hearing Hu Baoguo mention Master, Qin Feng's eye circles were a little red. He has grown up and sincerely treats him well.
Among people, the first one to count is the Master.
"By the way, Brother Hu, I still have a tiger skin. After I go through the customs procedures, I will spread it out in the courtyard. It will be yours to use..." Qin Feng suddenly thought of his own
Zhang Baihu's skin was originally intended to be left to Miao Liuzhi, but the old guy ran away to no one knows where. He just happened to be filial to Hu Baoguo.
"There's another one? Brat, go back and show it to me. How does it compare to the old man's one?" After hearing Qin Feng's words, Hu Baoguo's eyes widened. When did this tiger skin become wholesale?
Once you take it, you get two.
"Don't worry, that one is a white tiger skin. It's not appropriate to give it away. Let's keep it for ourselves..." Qin Feng laughed when he heard this. There was a White Tiger Hall in the ancient book. It was a place for killing. The lottery was not very good, so Qin Feng
So I didn’t give away the more precious white tiger skin.
"Let's go back quickly. You didn't even tell me such a good thing..." Hu Baoguo didn't care about the origin of the tiger skin at this moment. He urged Qin Feng to drive back to the courtyard and hurriedly admired the white tiger.
Skinned.
