Xu Zhengying thought in her heart that this guy is so hypocritical. It was obviously you who invited me to meet here, but you still said such polite words as to welcome me far away. You didn’t even think about going out to greet me. But Xu Zhengying would not think that Hu Xiaotian was rude.
Hu Buwei is his immediate boss. In his eyes, the son of his immediate boss is born with a noble aura and official authority. That is for others to see. He must be in front of the Master.
Modesty and low-key. Xu Zhengying laughed loudly, stepped forward and grabbed Hu Xiaotian's hand cordially.
Hu Xiaotian is really not used to it. I said, do I know you very well? In total, we have met twice. Without even saying a complete sentence, you just held hands with me. You old guy is too thick-skinned.
.To get close to me? Hehe, are you trying to get closer to me instead of trying to please me, so you came up with the idea of saving the country through a curveball, and then you got close to me? I have seen this kind of trick of subordinates to please their bosses many times.
Xu Zhengying was definitely a familiar person. She held Hu Xiaotian's hand and wouldn't let go. She stared at Hu Xiaotian with a pair of small eyes and said: "Xiannephew, I heard that you are weak. Recently, a friend happened to bring something to me from Yan State.
I bought a thousand-year-old wild ginseng, so I specially sent it to my nephew to replenish his health."
His servant handed a brocade box in his hand to Xu Zhengying. Xu Zhengying held the brocade box and presented it with both hands. The fourth-rank minister of household affairs gave a gift to Hu Xiaotian, a political idiot with no official position, and behaved so respectfully.
This guy can still put aside this old face.
Hu Xiaotian had long foreseen that Xu Zhengying must have come here to get closer to him. He was quite curious in his heart. Thousand-year-old mountain ginseng, just blow it. How can it be so easy to find thousand-year-old mountain ginseng? It is a priceless treasure.
But then I thought about it, now we can't use the values of the past to measure everything. Maybe ginseng is just a carrot in Dakang. Hu Xiaotian also understands that since people can come to give gifts, this gift must be valuable.
Taking the beautifully packaged brocade box, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and opened it in front of Xu Zhengying, only to see a ginseng tree about a foot long lying inside. Although Hu Xiaotian's main business is Western medicine, he is interested in Western medicine.
There is also some research on traditional Chinese medicine, and there is a poem dedicated to identifying the appearance of ginseng - star-spotted reed with fine hairs, herringbone-shaped short chicken legs, deep pockets of thick brocade skin, dragon-wound beards decorated with pearls, strong and small reed beards
Wild ginseng is as long and as light as a sponge. This means that a good ginseng must have long beards and short body; the ginseng body should be diamond-shaped; the ginseng skin should have many and deep lines; the beards and reeds should be long, and there should be small holes on the beards.
The body must be light, not as heavy as possible.
This ginseng tree has many ginseng heads, roughly twelve of them. According to the saying that one head is divided into one hundred years, it can be preliminarily inferred that the age of this ginseng is about 1,200 years. Hu Xiaotian secretly thought about this old man.
This guy must not have fooled me. The quality of this ginseng is really good. Thousand-year-old ginseng is hard-earned and must be worth the money.
He closed the brocade box with a smile, handed it back to Xu Zhengying and said, "Uncle Xu, you are so polite. I dare not accept such an expensive gift."
Xu Zhengying pushed the wild ginseng over again, deliberately pretending to be unhappy: "My dear nephew, your father and I have a close relationship. We are as close as brothers. In my eyes, there is no difference between you and my own flesh and blood. You are sick."
After so many years, you have recovered from a long illness, and your body needs supplements. As long as your body can recover, let alone a mere ginseng tree, even if I want your Uncle Xu’s heart and soul, I will still give it to you!"
Hu Xiaotian cursed secretly in his heart, this is basically taking advantage of me. I want to be your son, even if you are willing to do so, Hu Xiaotian found that flattering is definitely a fashion here. This is true for servants, and so is the official. Xu Zhengying just said these words
It was so disgusting that Hu Xiaotian had goosebumps when he heard it, but this guy still spoke with a straight face and sincere feelings. To be able to be so groveling to a junior, his face was definitely not ordinary.
Although Hu Xiaotian understands the principle of politeness, one must ask for something from others, but thinking about his father's insistence on arranging a paralytic to be his wife, he simply did something bad to cause some trouble for him. If you don't let me feel comfortable, I can't let him.
You are at ease. With this thought, Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "Since Uncle Xu has such kindness, I have no choice but to be disrespectful." In fact, he had long thought that the concession just now was just a pretense.
Xu Zhengying has known Hu Xiaotian for a long time, but she has not had much communication with the boy. Who in the capital doesn’t know that Hu Buwei, the Minister of Household Affairs, gave birth to a silly son. It was suddenly reported half a year ago that Hu Buwei’s son recovered overnight.
Reason, in Xu Zhengying's view, a fool is still a fool even if he regains his sense. But today, when I saw him, I realized that this kid is definitely not the legendary idiot. Not only is he not stupid, but he is full of shrewdness, cunning and cleverness.
.
Hu Xiaotian made an invitation gesture: "Uncle Xu, please sit down and let's drink tea and talk."
However, Xu Zhengying did not sit down. He smiled and said: "My dear nephew, I came here today just to bring you this ginseng to replenish your health. I have something else to do. When I have time, I will come over to drink tea with you and talk."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Uncle Xu looks like you are not going to do business."
Xu Zhengying smiled and said: "I made an appointment with several colleagues to attend the PEN meeting in Yanshui Pavilion."
Hu Xiaotian blinked his eyes. This guy has been very idle lately. When he heard that Xu Zhengying was going to the PEN Club, he immediately had the idea of joining in the fun. He smiled and said: "Uncle Xu, my nephew has a cruel request, why don't I go with him?"
Are you going to see it?"
Xu Zhengying hesitated for a moment, then nodded immediately and said: "Okay! It would be best if my nephew is willing to come over!" But he was a little confused in his heart, are you literate? That kind of elegant occasion does not seem to be suitable for you. After all, he is very interested in
Hu Xiaotian had some understanding. This kid had just learned to speak for less than half a year, and he couldn't even read a bunch of Chinese characters.
Before leaving, Hu Buwei had given instructions for Hu Xiaotian to go out as little as possible. If he must go out, his six personal servants must stay close to him. All along, the servants headed by Liang Dazhuang have resolutely implemented Hu Buwei's orders.
Hearing that Hu Xiaotian was going out, these six servants immediately followed him. Hu Xiaotian had already been a little impatient with these followers, so he glared at them and said, "What are you doing? I'm going out to the PEN meeting with Mr. Xu, why are you following me?"
Is that an elegant place you can go to?"
The old butler Huan said: "Young master, I specifically told you before leaving home that no matter where you go, you need our personal protection. You'd better not make it difficult for the little ones."
It's okay that he didn't say this. Hu Xiaotian became angry when he heard what he said. Why should I comply with his wishes? He is not my biological father... But he also understands in his heart that blood relations are important.
They are indeed father and son. This matter is really unclear. Do you want to say that this father pushed his own son into the fire pit again? Tiger poison does not eat its children. This Hu Buwei is quite ruthless.
Thinking of his future marriage, the sense of rebellion in Hu Xiaotian's heart suddenly surged, Hu Buwei, Hu Buwei, you don't make me feel comfortable, and I won't let you feel comfortable either. Thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian's eyes widened, and he kicked his feet up.
He went out and kicked Liang Dazhuang in the stomach.
Liang Dazhuang stood by the side the whole time without even saying a word. He never thought that this kick would fall on his belly, and he was kicked to the ground. This guy was really unfair.
The person who spoke was clearly Juan, but Juan was already over sixty years old. Hu Xiaotian had no moral integrity and could not possibly fight a sixty-year-old man, so he chose Liang Dazhuang, who was tall and fat, and the kick was unexpected.
, not only Liang Dazhuang didn't expect it, but everyone present didn't expect it.
Hu Xiaotian pointed at Liang Dazhuang's nose and cursed: "You bastard, it's your turn to make irresponsible remarks about my affairs."
Liang Dazhuang's mouth flattened, tears of grievance were about to fall, and I said, I have offended someone, these words are not what I said at all.
When a group of servants saw that the young master was angry, they immediately shut their mouths. No one wanted to get angry. The servants of the Shang Shu family all had political wisdom, and everyone knew how to protect themselves wisely. The real culprit, Huan San, also shut his mouth.
His mouth, Liang Dazhuang's weight of nearly 200 kilograms were all knocked down by the young master's kick, not to mention his old arms and legs. If the kick just now had landed on him, there was a high probability that he would have flown out of the wall.
After all, Xu Zhengying was an outsider. When he saw Hu Xiaotian lecturing his servants in front of him, neither persuading him nor not persuading him, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Liang Dazhuang pursed his lips and said, "Young Master..." This guy was on the verge of tears.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Master Xu kindly invited me to attend the PEN meeting. With Master Xu taking care of me, why are you worried? My father knows that I am going out with Master Xu. Not only will he not blame me! He must also be very supportive!"
Xu Zhengying was confused when she heard this. How did you say this? When did I invite you so kindly? I came here today to give you ginseng to replenish your body. I didn’t ask you to attend the PEN meeting. It was obviously you who heard about it.
I went to the PEN Club and shamelessly wanted to go with me, but Xu Zhengying couldn't expose him to his face. I regretted it in my heart. I'm a fucking bitch. Why did I talk about the PEN Club in front of him when I had nothing to do? I was so full that I couldn't bear it.
OK, he put all the responsibility on me. If Hu Buwei knew about it in the future, wouldn't he think that I abducted his son?
Hu Xiaotian put his arm around Xu Zhengying's shoulders affectionately and said, "Let's go, don't let these servants affect the elegance of our PEN Club."
Hu Buwei could only smile sarcastically.
When the servants saw what Liang Dazhuang had just experienced, no one dared to say anything. They could only watch Hu Xiaotian and Xu Zhengying go out.
Liang Dazhuang rubbed his butt and got up from the ground, complaining incessantly: "I was wronged!"
