Chapter nine hundred and ninety fourth: two old minds
Two old men, who have been enemies for most of their lives, have been bickering together for a long time. One is laughing and joking, the other is blushing, and they are just as cute as an ordinary old farmer.
After fighting for a long time, the wine was almost finished. Old Man Song shouted to the butler who was waiting far away: "Ah Fu, give me another jar of wine, I want a better Xinghua Village!"
"Xinghua Village?"
Mr. Zhu held the wine cup and said with a smile, "No matter how nice Xinghua Village is, I still like Nuerhong."
Mr. Song rolled his eyes at Mr. Zhu and said proudly: "My Xinghua Village is not an ordinary Xinghua Village. The porcelain jars from the official kilns of the Song Dynasty are the best Xinghua Village that have been sealed and preserved for twenty years."
Zhu Lao blinked his eyes and said: "Such a good wine, why didn't you bring it out earlier!"
Mr. Song was pleased with himself and said with a sly smile: "I have brought out such good wine a long time ago, and before you, the queen of my hometown, drank it all in one breath, I first fed you eight percent full with daughter's red wine.
Here comes this good wine again, hehe, it makes you want to drink it, but you can't, hahaha, it feels like you can't drink this kind of wine right now..."
Mr. Zhu looked at his eyes and said, "You old man, when did you become so cunning!"
Song Lao said with a smile: "I have been plotted by you all my life, and I will plot against you when I get old!"
When the wine was served and opened, the aroma of the wine overflowed and spread for miles. Mr. Zhu immediately took a sniff and praised it: "Well, good wine, good wine, really good!"
"Haha, she's better than that girl!" Mr. Song was even more proud and wanted to come over and bring the wine jar.
"Hey, wait!" Mr. Zhu took the lead and held the wine jar in his arms.
Song Lao said: "What are you going to do?" But his face was a little wary. This old guy is not playing tricks again.
Mr. Zhu chuckled, with this expression and demeanor, he was completely proud of you and me. He picked up the stopper of the wine jar on the table and shouted to the old butler in the distance: "Little steward, come here."
Put this wine away, Mr. Song’s hospitality is really hard to refuse!”
Mr. Song immediately blinked his eyes twice. With his eyes that had seen countless people, he looked at the 'shameless' old guy in front of him. He felt hatred in his heart and pointed at it and said: "You..."
The old butler came over and had already put away the wine. Mr. Zhu was proud, but Mr. Song didn't say anything in the end. He just sighed and waved for the two butlers to leave first.
Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "Why is Mr. Song so unconvinced?"
Mr. Song shook his head and said: "I, this guy has read countless people in his life, and I have concluded a truth."
Mr. Zhu said: "Please speak."
Mr. Song looked at Mr. Zhu and said: "No matter how smart a person is, there is really nothing he can do if he meets a thick-skinned person."
"Hey, you old boy are scolding me, right?" Mr. Zhu scolded with a smile.
"You've got an advantage, so don't be a good boy. It's getting late now. If we want to talk about more business, go back quickly. This is the second time you've come to my place recently. Aren't you worried that someone won't sleep well? If he doesn't sleep well,
Now, we are both in trouble."
"well……"
Mr. Zhu sighed and said sadly: "We have already lived most of our lives, and we old immortals are here to see who will die first. We are all thinking about the interests of the other party, so why bother?
, the world is so big, who will be the one?
So what can we do first? In the end, when the hundred years are up, a cup of loess is buried in the ground. We can't control the affairs of future generations. It's better to live happily and settle the rest of our lives. Old man Song, what do you think of me?
Does that make sense?"
"It doesn't make sense."
"Hey! You old guy, you just want to go against me, right? Why don't you make sense?"
Mr. Song stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts. What you are best at is taking advantage of others when they are not prepared. On the surface, you pretend to be a sleeping cat, but in fact you are just a cat pretending to sleep.
Tiger, on the surface you are not in a hurry about the marriage between Xinyi and that boy, but in your heart you are more anxious than anyone else. You dare not recognize that boy because you are afraid that the complicated relationship in the family will hurt him.
Good or not
It's easy to see a satisfactory seedling. If it dies like this, you won't be able to sleep well lying on the ground. But if that kid gets married to Xinyi, he will have the protection of my Song family, and he can also be deceived. In addition, he will be in charge of his future.
The Zhu family is also good. If my Song family and your Zhu family join forces, if that kid has your ambition again, this seemingly peaceful world will be in turmoil in the future."
Mr. Zhu smiled and did not refute. The two Taishan Beidou old men in Yanjing City looked at each other quietly for more than a minute. Finally, Mr. Zhu smiled and said slowly: "Then tell me, how will this end?
How? Or rather, what do you want?"
Mr. Song said with a smile: "If I really had to choose, it would be just four words - live in peace and harmony."
Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "Don't you have any ambition?"
Mr. Song said: "Yes."
Zhu Laodao: "Then you..."
Mr. Song said: "You have said just now that we cannot control future generations. We will be just a cup of loess in the future. Why bother to deliberately leave pressure on future generations? As long as the family's prosperity remains unchanged and the incense can be maintained from generation to generation, it will be fine."
That’s it. Let me say one more thing, if it really happens again
After a hundred years, who can predict what this situation will look like? I am afraid that the big family, which looks so huge in the eyes of outsiders like us, will eventually be ruined not in the hands of our opponents, but in the hands of our own descendants. As the old saying goes, you can't be poor for three generations.
We are only three generations old, and we will soon be the fourth generation."
Mr. Zhu was silent and Mr. Song smiled. After a while, Mr. Zhu waved his hand and called the old housekeeper: "Bring back the wine!"
The wine cup was refilled, Mr. Zhu picked up the wine cup and said sadly: "It would be great if those two old guys thought so too."
Mr. Song said with a smile: "Not necessarily, but isn't the reality like this, intrigues and intrigues."
Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter so much, I won't go home until I'm drunk!"
Song Laodao: "Let me ask you one more thing."
Mr. Zhu said: "You old man, why do you have so many things to do?"
Song Laodao: "The girl named Chu has come to Yanjing. She is interested in the marriage between Xinyi and that boy..."
Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "It's not the end of the New Year yet, let's spend this New Year safely first, and let's wait until the end of the New Year to discuss the rest."
Song Laodao: "You old boy is looking down on me again. That girl named Chu is buying a steel factory and making rectifications. She has been doing it in a good way these past two days. Even I am a little bit murmuring. It's so impressive.
Wouldn't it be wonderful for a capable girl to be the daughter-in-law of my Song family? She is a hero among women, not inferior to men, and she still has a good face."
Zhu Laodao: "Drink!"
Old Song said: "Aren't you tempted?"
The two clinked their cups, and Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "Women are not inferior to men, and there are heroes among women. Looking at this China, whose girl is more valuable than your granddaughter, Mr. Song?"
Mr. Song laughed and said, "I love hearing this, I love hearing it!" He turned around and shouted to the housekeeper: "Afu, here's another one of the best..."
Mr. Zhu interrupted: "Wait a minute! You are not a good old boy. Why didn't He Zhe give me the best wine?"
