Chapter 939 Gifts
Song Lao and Director Lu both took a sip from the tea cup, and Song Lao praised: "Not bad! It seems that Ruofei's tea art has also improved a lot!"
Xia Ruofei smiled slightly and said: "The tea ceremony is about the perception of life. I am just an axe in front of you two..."
After finishing speaking, Xia Ruofei also took a sip from the tea cup. The unique fragrance of Dahongpao came to the nostrils. After the tea soup entered the mouth, the fragrance left on the lips and teeth, and the aftertaste was endless.
The tea that Xia Ruofei gave to Song Lao was naturally the best. The tea greens used are all harvested from the tea trees that are directly cut from the branches of the mother tree Dahongpao, which is the second generation of the mother tree Dahongpao, and the basic traits of asexual reproduction can be said to be completely preserved.
In addition, this tea is still made by Xia Qing, which is much higher quality than the Dahongpao sold by Taoyuan Company on the Internet. Of course, even the Taoyuan Dahongpao sold in batches can definitely be regarded as a fine tea. , Those tea leaves that cost thousands or even tens of thousands a pound are actually not as good as Taoyuan Dahongpao.
"Ruofei is too modest!" Song Lao laughed and said, "I make tea by myself, and I feel a little less artistic, and it seems to have more fireworks. It seems that I am a layman after all!"
"Grandpa Song, you have family and country feelings!" Xia Ruofei said, "Businessmen like me are ordinary people!"
Although Song Lao has retired for many years, how can a leader at his level be completely away from politics as long as he does not enter Babao Mountain? Song Lao still maintains the habit of reading newspapers and documents every day, and he is also very concerned about national affairs.
Song Lao laughed happily and said, "You child... Now is not the age when businessmen are inferior..."
Xia Ruofei chatted with Song Lao and Director Lu for a while, and then he remembered that the gift he brought had not been brought out.
So he stood up and said, "Grandpa Song, I also brought you a small gift, please wait..."
After finishing speaking, Xia Ruofei walked aside and took out a black jadeite Zhong Kui jade carving from his bag, and walked straight to Song Lao.
Before coming to Beijing, Xia Ruofei thought about giving Song Lao a jade carving.
Although this kind of magic weapon is worth over 100 million in Du Qinghong's eyes, Xia Ruofei is not stingy. In his eyes, this highly respected legendary general is not only a kind elder, but also an absolute idol at the beginning of his army.
The main reason is that the statue of Guan Gong seems to have too much meaning in the rivers and lakes, but Zhong Kui is a famous door god in traditional culture, and it would not be inappropriate to give it to Song Lao.
Xia Ruofei handed the jade carving to Song Lao,
He smiled and said, "I got a rare black jadeite by chance some time ago. I carved a few gadgets with my own hands. This Zhongkui jade carving will be given to you to grow old!"
Song Lao is naturally knowledgeable, and when he saw this Zhong Kui jade carving, he couldn't help but reveal a gleam in his eyes.
Although he did not know that the value of this magical instrument was over 100 million yuan, the value of this jade carving would definitely not be low due to the rarity and material of this jadeite, as well as its lifelike carving, at least at the level of tens of millions of yuan.
Besides, the Juling Jade Guanyin presented by Xia Ruofei is very useful, how could this Zhong Kui jade carving be just an ordinary statue? If there are some other functions, the value is even more difficult to estimate.
Song Lao smiled bitterly and said, "Ruofei, you made me make a mistake! This gift is a little too expensive..."
In the past, the things that Xia Ruofei gave him, whether it was tea, wine, or the highly valuable Juling Jade Guanyin, Song Lao accepted it without any refusal, because he did not regard Xia Ruofei as an outsider, and as a right It is the kindness of his younger generation to honor him.
But today Old Song was still hesitant.
Because this jade carving is obviously more valuable than the previous Juling Jade Guanyin.
Xia Ruofei smiled lightly and said, "How can you make mistakes? This is just a little thought of the younger generation. Besides, I don't ask you to do anything, and you have already retired. This has nothing to do with organizational discipline, right?"
Strictly speaking, Xia Ruofei's words are a bit sophistry. Even if Song Lao has retired, how can his influence be underestimated? Moreover, he is not a blood relative of Song Lao, and it is not convincing to say that the younger generation is filial to the elders, even if the real situation is like this.
Song Lao looked into Xia Ruofei's eyes, Xia Ruofei did not evade at all, and looked at him so calmly.
Xia Ruofei's eyes are very clear, without the slightest utilitarian color, even under the power of Song Lao, he can be light and calm, the so-called selfless heart is wide and wide, nothing more than that.
Song Lao looked at Xia Ruofei for more than ten seconds, and then showed a smile.
"Ruofei, what if I don't accept this jade carving?" Song Lao asked with interest.
Xia Ruofei said without hesitation: "Then I have to take it back! You don't like my gifts, and I can't force you!"
Song Lao couldn't help laughing, and said, "I thought you would say you want to smash it?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Grandpa Song, are you doubting my IQ? This jade carving is very valuable, why can't I live with money?"
The more Xia Ruofei responded so casually, the happier Song Lao felt. He smiled and pointed at Xia Ruofei, saying, "You're a sincere child!"
"Then do you accept it or not?" Xia Ruofei asked.
Song Lao didn't hesitate any more this time, nodded and said, "Accept! How can I push the benefits of delivering to the door! I don't have any pressure to keep the gift from your kid!"
Song Lao's words are indeed true. Although Song Lao has personally greeted Xia Ruofei and asked his old subordinates to take care of him, Xia Ruofei has always abide by his duty and never used his banner to make profits for himself. He is still very relieved about Xia Ruofei's character.
Even in the presence of Director Lu, Elder Song accepted this precious gift quite calmly.
While groping for the Zhong Kui jade carving with great interest, he asked with a smile, "Tell me! This jade carving should have some other magical uses, right?"
Xia Ruofei said: "This... how do you say it? You can understand that it has been opened up. If you put it at home, ordinary demons and evil spirits can't do anything wrong, but keep the house safe!"
Director Lu listened and couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that this is a bit too idealistic, right?
The previous Guanyin Juling Jade, as long as you are close to Song Lao, you can feel the change in the aura, which makes people very comfortable, but this Zhong Kui jade carving is actually to ward off evil spirits, so it can't be seen or touched...
However, Song Lao did not believe it. Instead, his eyes lit up slightly and asked, "So, this is a magic weapon?"
This time, it was Xia Ruofei's turn to have an accident. He didn't expect Song Lao to know the magic weapon.
But after thinking about it, I was relieved. After all, Song Lao was in a very prominent position before he retired. He can understand some secrets that ordinary people don't know. Naturally, he also knows that Feng Shui metaphysics is not all feudal superstition. Maybe I know a little bit about some of the master figures in that circle! Knowing the magic weapon is not surprising.
Xia Ruofei thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes! But the previous jade Guanyin is more beneficial to you. In order to avoid aura conflict, you can wear that jade Guanyin with you, and this Zhong Kui jade carving can be placed at home. "
The Song family's house is very old. The Song family has lived there for decades, and Song Lao was not the first owner of the house at that time. It was the house allocated to him by the organization later. The house, I really don't know if there will be some unclean things. This Zhong Kui jade carving is placed in the house and can play the role of town house.
Ordinary people may also worry about the safety of jade carvings, but Song Lao's side is solid, and the vigilance inside and outside is quite strict, and naturally there is no risk of theft.
Song Lao nodded and said, "Okay, just as you said, put it in my main room."
After speaking, Song Laoyou played with the jade carving for a while very fondly.
Since Song Lao put this Zhong Kui jade sculpture in the backyard hall, the old house seems to have gradually undergone some subtle changes.
In the past, Song Lao himself didn't feel anything. After all, he had experienced a tragic war back then. It can be said that he climbed out of the pile of dead people. His murderous aura was enough to make most evil spirits dare not get close.
But the staff in the old mansion, including Director Lu, would feel that the mansion was a little gloomy at night, and sometimes some people would hear some strange sounds.
And since this Zhong Kui jade sculpture was placed in the house, everyone felt that the night seemed to be a little less cold and a little warmer, and that gloomy feeling disappeared without a trace, as if the aura of the entire house had changed. .
Of course, these are all for later.
That night, Song Lao and Xia Ruofei chatted for a long time, and then they simply left Xia Ruofei to live in the old house.
Xia Ruofei didn't dare to refuse because the elder had an order, so he stayed in the guest room of the Song family's old house for one night.
The next day he had breakfast with Song Lao, and then got up and left.
Song Lao ordered Director Lu to prepare a lot of gifts for Xia Ruofei. Now the wine and tea produced by Xia Ruofei's own company are not even worse than the internal ration that Song Lao enjoys, so the gifts Song Lao gave to Xia Ruofei also lacked tea and wine. , mainly some supplements, special snacks and the like.
Of course, Song Lao knew that Xia Ruofei smoked, so the special supply of cigarettes was naturally indispensable. There were 20 cigarettes in two boxes, and even Director Lu couldn't help but be envious.
This is almost Song Lao's ration for a whole year. Now Song Lao himself has long stopped smoking, so he just gave it all to Xia Ruofei.
Director Lu knew that the last time Song Rui came back over the weekend, he carefully wanted to ask Lao Song for a few bags, but he was unceremoniously rejected.
When it was given to Xia Ruofei, it was delivered directly in the box.
This makes his grandson feel so bad... Director Lu said secretly with some humor in his heart.
After Xia Ruofei drove back to the courtyard in Liuhai Hutong, he called Song Wei. Song Wei learned that Xia Ruofei was free today, so she immediately put down a research topic in her hand and rushed directly to the courtyard.
The two used the time formation to practice for more than ten days, and they did not stop practicing until the outside time approached noon.
After this practice, Song Wei's cultivation has improved a bit, and she is one step closer to the third level of Qi practice. Xia Ruofei estimates that after practicing two or three more times, she should be able to touch the bottleneck of breakthrough.
When two people practiced together, this "Inquiry of the Heart Sutra" entered the world very quickly, even no less than "The Great Way" that Xia Ruofei majored in.
Xia Ruofei's own cultivation has also made some progress in the process of cultivating "Inquiring Heart Sutra", but it is not as obvious as Song Wei. After all, the entry in the early stage of cultivation must be faster.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but sighed at the magic of this practice.
Of course, the advantages and disadvantages of "Ask the Heart Sutra" are obvious. The main limitation is that two people must practice together, and from a long-term perspective, it is obviously not as good as "The Great Way".
"The Great Way" directly points to the source of cultivation, and it can be used by Xia Ruofei to cultivate to a very high level. In comparison, "The Heart Sutra of the Beginning" has less stamina.
After all, these are two exercises of completely different levels.
After Xia Ruofei accompanied Song Wei to lunch in the courtyard, he persuaded Song Wei to go back to school.
Song Wei herself really wanted to continue practicing in the afternoon.
However, Xia Ruofei considered that the practice is too hasty, which will easily cause the foundation to be unstable, and that they are going to participate in the bidding for the land tomorrow. Zhao Yongjun and Song Rui have already discussed with Xia Ruofei, and they will come to the courtyard together in the afternoon, and then everyone will go directly from here tomorrow. Set off.
Xia Ruofei doesn't know when Zhao Yongjun and the others will arrive, but if they see Song Wei at his house, it's not good to spread it out.
In the end, Song Wei also accepted Xia Ruofei as the reason, and left the courtyard with a trace of loss and unfinished business in Wu Qiang's car.
Facts have proved that Xia Ruofei's decision was very correct. Zhao Yongjun and the others came to the courtyard at more than two noon. At this time, Wu Qiang, who went to send Song Wei back to school, has not returned.
If Song Wei stayed in the afternoon to continue cultivating, they would undoubtedly be caught by them.
Although it is unlikely to reveal the time formation and cultivation, but Song Wei is Song Qiming's jewel after all, staying alone with Xia Ruofei will inevitably have a bad influence.
Zhao Yongjun and his party drove a Mercedes-Benz commercial car over. Zhao Yongjun asked with a smile when he got out of the car: "If Fei, why did you open the door yourself? Where's Wu Qiang?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I asked him to go out to do something! Brother Zhao, didn't you say come over in the evening? Why did you arrive so early?"
Before Zhao Yongjun could speak, Song Rui, who was beside him, said, "Hey! Brothers have had some drinks at noon, and there is nowhere to go in the afternoon, so I'll just come to your side to find a place to sleep!"
Xia Ruofei was speechless for a while and co-authored the buddy as a hotel!
He looked at it really, except for Wei Jun, who was driving, everyone else had a strong smell of alcohol. It seemed that they didn't drink less at noon.
"Yes! Then don't be polite..." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Let's choose your own room!"
"Wait a minute!" Song Rui shouted, "I still have something to do!"
