Red Merry

(' "Of course the baby can only be opened in front of the elderly, how can we enjoy it first." Xue Xiang shook his head, denying his idea.

An Weihong hesitated, he knew that Xue Xiang would never show fake things to his grandfather, but he didn't understand why he would present such a good thing. Although the antique market is basically paralyzed now, such a good thing can never Er Yaqian's release was also extremely easy.Does he have something to ask his grandfather?Judging by his age, it must be because of his family, yes, it must be so.

An Weihong is indeed a smart person, and he guessed Xue Xiang's thoughts thoroughly. Now that he knew what Xue Xiang meant, he naturally became suspicious: "Brother Xue, I have basically understood the reason for your visit. The opportunity to present the treasure to meet the old man, right? But in this way, this treasure has nothing to do with me, and this is not really helping my brother."

Xue Xiang didn't expect him to be so alert, guessing his own thoughts, and said with a smile: "Wei Hong, what you said is also reasonable. This calligraphy and painting is my birthday gift to the old man. Your birthday gift will naturally be wrapped on me. Guaranteed It will never lose to Sister Hongzhuang's "Catkin Stickers". Besides, the old general's birthday hasn't come yet, send it up now, and when your brothers and sisters present their birthday gifts, you can't just watch it."

An Weihong saw that Su Zizhan's calligraphy was definitely out of reach, but it would be nice to get a copy that was no worse than the "Cuskin Stickers", so he immediately agreed: "I don't want to worry about Third Brother Xue's treasures. My birthday gift is up to you, just ask how much it is, I am buying it, not asking for it, I dare not take the birthday gift for the old man in vain."

"Okay, leave it on me." Xue Xiang and An Weihong clinked a few glasses, and the bottle of Porto was almost exhausted. An Weihong's two guards who were helped by the waiter to lie on the sofa woke up.The two guards pondered for a while with their dizzy heads before they realized that they had been knocked out, which was really embarrassing to grandma's house.As soon as the two stood up, they rushed towards Xue Xiang, but An Weihong stopped him: "You are still members of the Central Guard Corps. You haven't even managed a single move from my brother. It's embarrassing. Come on, you two also Don't follow me, I'll ask Lao Wang to arrange a unit for you later." It's not that Xue Xiang's fighting skills are much better than the two guards, but the two guards are too underestimating the enemy, thinking that the other party is just an ordinary young man and didn't kill him Second, Xue Xiang shot too fast and hit the vital point directly, making the two lose their ability to resist in an instant, and the original fierce fight became Xue Xiang's personal performance.

Hearing what An Weihong said, the faces of the two changed drastically. They knew that this arrangement would forever lose their chance to make progress.At that time, the chief's personal guards were somewhat similar to the servants of military generals in the late Ming Dynasty, relying on each other as master and servant.The chief will arrange the guards who have been used for a certain number of years to the army to take charge of the troops, and the guards also regard the guards as their masters.In the early days, there were conflicts between the leaders, and the guards on both sides fought.It can be seen that the security guard of the senior chief is really a confidant.

Knowing that his trouble ruined the future of the two soldiers, Xue Xiang felt sorry, and said, "Wei Hong, I was just taking advantage of others' unpreparedness. You are top-notch, didn't you make your brother a villain by making such a fuss?"

Xue Xiang spoke, and An Weihong had to give face. First, he was really afraid of him. Even though the two guards were standing beside him now, the cold feeling in his bones always reminded himself not to offend this smiling tiger; He helped him get grandpa's birthday present, he had to give it face, and besides, he just took the opportunity to knock down the two guards, after all, he had been with him for so many years, so he couldn't change it at will.

An Weihong waved his hand and said, "For Sange Xue's face, let's forget about it. You should be more vigilant to me in the future. Don't let the head on my neck disappear one day. You still don't know what happened." He couldn't forget the broken body. glass.

The two guards nodded gratefully at Xue Xiang, and saluted Hua Weihong again without saying a word.An Weihong ordered the two guards to pay the bill, told Xue Xiang to stay longer, and took him to the house later.

Xue Xiang got up and went to Kang Tong to take a long red wooden box, and told Kang Tong and Lei Xiaotian to go to work first, and he had something to do on his side, so it was inconvenient to take them with him.Kang Tong and Lei Xiaotian knew that Xue Xiang's business was over, said carefully, and strode away.

..........

Old General An is a member of the J Committee. Although he has an independent residence in Da Nei, he doesn't like the solemn and solemn atmosphere there, so he simply lives in Songzhuzhai on Wangfu Street all the time.Songzhuzhai is a large courtyard house, covering an area of ​​more than three acres. It is called Songzhu, as the name suggests, and green bamboos, pines and cypresses are widely planted in it.Xue Xiang was led by An Weihong through the guard post and into the courtyard.This is an atypical courtyard house in the capital city, with a large courtyard but not many rooms. Unlike ordinary courtyard houses, there are houses on all sides. This unique courtyard house has only one main house, and the courtyard is built under it.The courtyard is spacious and open, with plenty of sunlight and a wide view.In addition to the patchwork of pine arrays and bamboo forests, there is a pavilion built on the west side of the left side of the courtyard, surrounded by flowers and plants. Although the flowers and plants are not famous species, they are ordinary folk vegetation, but they are full of fragrance Blooming brilliantly.The gazebo is surrounded by flowerbeds, and there are only four rows (hang four tones) left between the flowerbeds for people to walk on. The flowerbeds are planted with cloves, crabapple, elm plum, and mountain peach flowers.There are various potted plants in the gazebo, taking up most of the [-]-square-meter pavilion.Potted plants include pomegranate tree, oleander, golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus, rhododendron, gardenia, etc., and some of them bear fruit.On the right side of the yard, there is a half-acre vegetable bed. The vegetables in it are growing gratifyingly, such as green cucumbers, red peppers, and half-green tomatoes hanging on the branches like fat babies.This season is a good time for a hundred flowers to bloom and butterflies to dance. The flowers and trees in the courtyard are sparse, elegant and pleasant. Walking from a distance, the fragrance is overwhelming, just like walking in a sea of ​​flowers and plants.

Xue Xiang followed An Weihong through bamboo groves and pine arrays, along the path among the flowers and plants towards the pavilion, and walked through the nursery to the pavilion.There were already three people in the gazebo, a guard stood by, and two old men were sitting on the stone table and bench in the middle, playing chess. The old man on the left had a white beard and hair, a round face, a flat nose, a shiny complexion, and a ruddy complexion. He was obviously an old man. Not decayed, very well maintained.The old man on the right has no beard, big ears, straight nose and wide mouth. Looking at it from a distance, it is difficult to tell his age, but when he observes it urgently, his face is dotted with age spots and his thinning hair all indicate that he is already a decayed old man.

The white-haired old man holds the red, and the black-haired old man holds the black. The Chu, He and Han realms have long been engaged in hand-to-hand fighting, and the killing is inextricable.Xue Xiang followed Hua Weihong to the table, and no one paid any attention to their arrival.An Weihong took it for granted, and stood quietly watching the battle. Xue Xiang followed suit, and he would never speak out.On the chess board, the main force of red chess has two horses and one cannon, while black has only two cannons and one chariot. From the perspective of military strength, black has a slight advantage, but judging from the current battle situation, black is almost in a desperate situation.The red side's two horses have entered the central palace, and the two horses will kill the general.Black chess with one rook and two cannons barely crossed the border, the attack was weak, and the defense was too late.The white-haired old man took a sip of tea, knocked down the table, and hummed "the sky of Liberation Q is a clear sky, the people of Liberation Q like it very much...", smiling all over his face, shaking his head.The black-haired old man shook his cattail fan faster and faster. In fact, the cool breeze in this pavilion is refreshing and tight, which is not much better than the air-conditioned rooms of later generations, so there is no need to use a fan.The black-haired old man drew his eyebrows closer and tighter, and moved one hand over his chess pieces, obviously deducing the situation of the battle.

"Old An, give up the sacrifice, I should have won. If I hadn't underestimated the enemy and rushed forward in the first few rounds, I'm afraid you would have lost in a mess." The white-haired old man took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes and persuaded the black-haired old man. road.The white-haired old man was so proud that he played the trick of persuading him to surrender.

With the sound of Lao An, the identity of the black-haired old man is self-evident.In fact, Xue Xiang had long guessed that the black-haired old man must be the old general An. First, Anwei Macro stood behind the black-haired old man during the war, knowing his closeness; The necessity of it is obviously for the need of being photogenic.

Old General An put his teacup on the table for a meal: "Old Qian, old Qian, you lost four out of five games, and you are ashamed to say that you made an aggressive move because you underestimated the enemy. Why don't you say that you are not good at chess? General Manager Love to find some subjective reasons, ignore the objective facts, and if you don't study dialectics well, you will make mistakes."

"Okay, don't give me a big lesson. I know you are a political worker. Let's not talk about it when we play chess. I am not good at chess? Why did you lose? You should beat me That's right." Old Man Qian raised his eyebrows as he spoke, gaining the upper hand.

"Did I lose? This game is not over yet, you old boy must have been complacent earlier."

"Then you should go down, don't just talk and practice, if you don't keep going, of course you won't lose, and your old An's character is not enough."

"you"

Old General An was checked by Old Man Qian on the scene, and he was about to be checked by him on the chessboard. He was in a dilemma, staring at the chessboard in a daze.Old man Qian sipped his tea happily and hummed his revolutionary tune.

"Hey..." Old General An exclaimed, then cheered happily, and threw the cattail fan aside: "Old Qian, watch the trick!" After finishing speaking, he pulled the cannon in the middle back from the front line and stuck it close to the taxi on the cross star. He defended the second-to-last line and prevented old man Qian from becoming a crap horse.

Old man Qian took a sip of tea: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could you think of this step, you must be cheating."

"Hey, hey, here we go again. It happens every time, but it's boring. I didn't steal pieces, let alone move pieces. There are only five people here, and no one speaks. Call you crazy, old boy. Now it's my turn to take care of you."

Old man Qian was at a loss for words for a moment, and the duck in his mouth flew away.
