Red Merry

('Xue Xiang smoothed the pawns on the chessboard, handed the teacup to An Weihong, and motioned him to get him a glass of water, but An Weihong couldn't refuse, so he took the teacup and went away. Xue Xiang smiled and said: " Old general, then what do you think the boy is here for today, he can’t be here to engage in massacres, right?”

The old man looked heartbroken, and twirled his non-existent beard: "What massacre, anyway, I'm not in the mood today. I didn't notice it for a while, and I fell into your trap. It's just a pity that you are the king and the loser. You can talk about it." I am famous in this life. Hmph, you came to find the old man to open the back door, I don't understand, since you have asked the old man, how dare you not give me face. "

"Old general, since you invited me to play chess, you think highly of me, boy. How dare I play tricks with you? Of course, I have to use [-]% of my ability to come and wait for it. It's just that I shot too hard for a while, and I want to come to you The old man will not know the same level of knowledge as my junior."

"Good boy, you still dare to be poor with me, three cost things? It makes me happy, tomorrow I want to see what you look like ten cost things. Don't play 'slap and rub three times' to the old man Come on, quickly open the box you brought, let me see what is hidden inside, dare to show it to my old man."

"Look, there you are!" After finishing speaking, Xue Xiang opened the long mahogany box and took out the scroll.Old Wang had already removed the chessboard and teacups from the stone table, and spread a piece of yellow silk cloth on top of them.The old general took the scroll, carefully placed it on the silk cloth, untied the tie, and opened it slowly.The whole scroll is about four feet long and one foot wide. What catches the eye is a pair of simple running script calligraphy. The whole scroll is extremely well preserved, except for a yellowing mark the size of a fingernail on the upper left corner of the white rice paper.The head of a water tune song on rice paper is written in a chic and unrestrained way, wantonly, and the writing is like flowing clouds and flowing water, pouring down without any sense of stagnation.

"Good baby, good baby, the old man can get a glimpse of such a magical pen in his lifetime, what regrets does he have for death, what regrets does he have for death!!"

The old man was very excited. He admired this calligraphy for half an hour and let out a long sigh.He shook his head, looked up at the sky, and rubbed his hands together, showing vague signs of unsteadiness, so Xue Xiang and Old Wang hurried forward to support him.

Old General An gently broke away the hands of the two of them and sat down: "I'm not old yet, I'm just too excited. Su Zizhan's calligraphy is really not inferior to Yan Zhenqing, and he went straight to Wang Xizhi. It's heart-wrenching to see, it's like sailing a boat In the sea, you can freely move horizontally and vertically among the bumps, and you can see real kung fu. Good boy, I don’t ask you where this treasure came from. Since you brought it, I think it’s for the old man’s birthday. Thank you here. Although our GCD People don't like to do birthday banquets, but family gatherings are always needed, and I will definitely inform you when I hold a family banquet, and if you don't drink, come and eat a piece of cake."

Xue Xiang was in a hurry. What does the old man mean, this baby is just a piece of cake?Xue Xiang hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, you misunderstood. No, I have never been able to figure out whether this Dongpo calligraphy handed down from my ancestors is true or not. I heard Wei Hong say that you are a great connoisseur of calligraphy and painting, so I took it here Let you give me a palm eye, yes, I didn’t expect it to be an authentic work of Su Dongpo, I’m so happy! Thank you, thank you, I will definitely come over for your banquet, not only to eat cake, but also toast you with birthday wine. I’m poor One kid, I can’t afford any presents, so I’ll sing you a birthday song then. Well, what, you’re busy with business, so I won’t bother you, I’ll go first.” After finishing speaking, Xue Xiang rolled up the scroll Put it in a box and pretend to leave.

Seeing that Xue Xiang wasn't up to the trick, the old man was in a hurry. He held down the wooden box and said with a smile: "Sit down a little longer, my old man doesn't have any official business. It's all right, don't pretend, what's the matter?" Tell me."

Xue Xiang saw that Hua Shuai stopped playing bureaucrats, so he explained Xue Anyuan's situation to him.After hearing this, the old general smiled and said, "You really came here to deliver sugar-coated shells. As usual, I will take the sugar-coated shells, and the shells will be sent back to you. Then, Xiao Wang, lock my study." After that, The old general picked up the wooden box and handed it to Lao Wang.

Xue Xiang was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the dignified old general An would use such a trick.Previously, it could be pretended to be an appraisal, but now the old man tricked him out of words, and he couldn't take it back.Xue Xiang watched Lao Wang holding the wooden box and going away with dazed eyes. Although there were no tears in his eyes, blood was already dripping from his heart.

Seeing Xue Xiang's miserable appearance with squinting eyes, the old man felt very relieved. He felt relieved and refreshed for a while, and all the cowardice he suffered just now was blown back.Now he is humming a little tune proudly, shaking his cattail fan, shaking his thighs, and looks like a "returning home team" whose revenge has been avenged.

Xue Xiang covered his face with his hands and wiped it lightly, and the original frown immediately turned into a smiling face.The old man was taken aback when he saw his ability to change faces, and thought, this kid can still laugh after being hit so hard, he is a character.This guy is back to being a grinning little bastard again, I have to watch out.

Xue Xiang said with a smile: "The red powder is given to the dummy, and the good things are of course given to those who know the goods. In my heart, you are the one who knows the goods, and the only one who knows the goods."

"Is it disgusting for you to change the way, don't you say that the sword is given to the martyr, but talk about the red powder, I think you are really bad, you are full of gutter water."

"You still said to me that you don't do anything when you receive gifts, isn't that a bit too much?"

"Did I accept the gift? Who can prove it?"

"Uh... Forget that I said something wrong, you are really good, no wonder the national army couldn't beat you back then, kid convinced."

"It's called strategy, it's wisdom! You, go back and read more Selected Works of Mao, don't think about flattering people all day long, and go through the back door."

Xue Xiang really couldn't say enough about him. He met a top-notch old man who didn't do anything when he received gifts, and he taught others a big lesson plausibly.Xue Xiang also didn't want to go around in circles with the old man anymore, it made him dizzy.Xue Xiang said sternly: "I don't mention calligraphy and painting, it was given to you, I just beg you for nothing, just for your contribution to my current happy life, shouldn't I also honor you. "

"This is still like a sentence. Although it sounds more flattering, it makes people feel comfortable." The old man said with a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes.It seems that the vigilance against Xue Xiang has not been let go, and these heartfelt words are characterized as flattery.

Xue Xiang smiled helplessly, and said, "In all fairness, should my uncle's matter be resolved organizationally?"

"How many things in this world can be done with one's heart?" The old man stopped teasing and turned two chess pieces in his hand.

"Who are you afraid of offending?"

"Childish, who was the old man afraid of! Now is a sensitive period, and the person behind your uncle is even more sensitive. If I make a slight move, it will bring them disaster. Hey, why should I tell you this! You Can you understand?"

"Well, it seems that I was reckless. Are you also conflicted in your heart now?" Xue Xiang couldn't do anything about seeing his uncle, so he simply changed the topic and spoke surprisingly.

"What contradiction do I have?" The old man stopped the shaking cattail fan and fixed his eyes on Xue Xiang, as if he wanted to see his heart.

It was only at this moment that Xue Xiang felt the power of the veteran's head rolling out of the sea of ​​blood like a surging tide.His heart tightened suddenly, and he sat up straight: "The smoke of the battlefield has long since disappeared, and the weapons are hidden in the Xuanwu Gate."

When a line of poetry came out, the stone was shocked.

With a "bang", Old General An smashed the teacup on the table, causing water to splash from the cup.It happened that An Weihong brought tea to Xue Xiang, and Lao Wang also returned from the study.The two saw that the atmosphere here was a bit abnormal, and the table was in a mess. Just as they were about to step into the gazebo, they were stopped by Old General An with a wave: "You two go to the main room first, and tell Xiao Liu and the others to evacuate outside."

An Weihong and Pharaoh took orders to retreat.When he was leaving, An Weihong took a deep look at Xue Xiang, not understanding what words this desperado used to attract his grandfather, and he didn't even hear it.After a while, there was a commotion in the bamboo forest, pine array, and roof. Xue Xiang looked up, and it turned out that soldiers in various camouflage uniforms were retreating.Xue Xiang was shocked. When he came, he walked through the bamboo forest and pine array, but he didn't realize that there were so many guards with live ammunition hidden there.However, it should be thought of, Old General An is in the center of the military aircraft, so what is attached to him is so important, and how can it be easy to guard.

"Okay, now there are only two of us here, tell me, who sent you here?"

"Isn't it very clear why I came here? Save my relatives!"

"Rescue relatives? Hehe, how could a brat say the word Xuanwumen? You can choose a good reason to fool people."

"The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear."

"I'd like to see how clear you are as a bystander. Talk about it. If you can't tell, I'll invite you to a military court."

"This... This is not good, I'm not a soldier, I'm here to give you a birthday gift, how can you treat guests like this."

"My place is an important military location, don't you know? You dare to speak nonsense here, and you can't give a reason. I think beheading is enough."

"Well, don't scare me, don't you just want to see who is standing behind me, why bother to do this."

"You're a smart boy, let's talk about it."

"There is really no one behind me. Think about it, my uncle is still in a labor camp, and his relationship with the chief is well known. If others want to test you, they would never choose me. You are too cautious."

"Eh... what you said is somewhat reasonable, Cheng, I believe you are here to save your relatives, tell me what happened to Xuanwumen."

"I'm afraid the old man's body won't last long." Xue Xiang tremblingly said this sentence that could kill his head, his eyes were fixed on the old general, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down like a stream.

The old man didn't pat the table, nor scolded, but looked at Xue Xiang calmly and said, "How did you know?" In fact, his heart was already in a turmoil. He really couldn't believe it, how could such an important secret come from a child? At this moment, he didn't dare to reprimand, for fear of scaring Xue Xiang's words back.

Seeing that the old man was not as angry as he imagined, Xue Xiang said cautiously: "Don't worry too much, I figured it out on my own. The old man didn't show up for such a big event in April. The man who took over the Administration Council in January and Doesn't it seem too urgent to take over as deputy head of state?" Of course, he would not say that the history book has been written long ago, and he can only entrust it to his own talents.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the first-class Gan Luo and Yan Shifan mentioned by the ancients are yours!" After hearing this, Old General An fell silent for a long time, and suddenly expressed such emotion.
