Liang Jian got out of the car and looked up to see a corner of a flying dragon and a small red wall looming among the branches of the trees not far away. Liang Jian frowned, there are not many places in Beijing that can use red walls, and when he was thinking about which places, Lao Tang called him: "I didn't bring money, you will pay." ”

Liang Jian hurriedly retracted his thoughts, turned around and went to pay for the car.

The transportation here is convenient, but the environment is quiet, a big road leads directly to the entrance of the compound, the camphor trees on both sides are decades old, the trunk is thick, the branches are luxuriant, this season, is still lush and lush.

The white walls and black tiles, the flying beams, the lacquered door copper nails, and the gold plaque are very expensive.

Walking to the red lacquered wooden door, Old Tang reached out and grabbed the ring in the lion's mouth, knocked lightly, and the door creaked open with a crisp bang.

Seeing Old Tang, the old man who opened the door, he immediately grinned and said, "I've been waiting for half an hour." After speaking, as soon as his eyes moved, he saw Liang Jian standing beside Lao Tang, looked at it, and asked, "Your son?"

Old Tang smiled and said to Liang Jian: "It's called Uncle Tie." ”

Liang Jian respectfully called Uncle Tie. Uncle Tie replied with a sigh, and at the same time reached out and began to touch the pockets on his body, Lao Tang saw it, and immediately stepped forward, pressed his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, he is not a child anymore." ”

Uncle Tie was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I'm confused, I thought it was the same as before." After speaking, he looked at Liang Jian with his eyes again, and said with emotion: "The last time I saw him, it was when I was just born, so many years, it seems to be a blink of an eye." ”

Old Tang also turned his head to look at Liang Jian, he seemed to have some memories of Uncle Tie's words, there was more blurry light in his eyes, and after looking at Liang Jian in a daze for two seconds, his eyes were blurred, and he said with a smile: "This blink of an eye is more than thirty years, and I have experienced a lot of things in the past thirty years." ”

As soon as Uncle Tie heard this, he immediately diverted the topic, he reached out and closed the door, and then led Old Tang and Liang Jian inside.

Compared with the old mansion of the Tang family, this courtyard is much smaller, but there are small bridges and flowing water, winding corridors, bamboo and wood rockeries, everything, and everywhere is exquisite and rich.

Halfway through, Old Tang suddenly asked Uncle Tie, "Who else is eating now?"

Uncle Tie replied: "There is still a table left, you know it." ”

Old Tang glanced at Uncle Tie, but didn't ask Uncle Tie who the person he knew.

Uncle Tie took Lao Tang to a separate courtyard in the backyard, which was full of plum trees, this season, it was the season when plum blossoms bloomed, as soon as you entered, it was fragrant and intoxicating.

In the depths of the plum blossoms, there is a small bamboo building with one and a half floors, small and exquisite. Push open the door, inside is a room, separated by a bamboo curtain in the middle, inside is a place to drink tea and rest, and outside is a place to eat.

The dishes were already on the table, and they were still steaming. Liang Jian glanced at Uncle Tie in surprise, along the way, he had been talking to Old Tang, it seemed that in addition to being extravagant, this Old Tang Residence also had some unique features.

Uncle Tie also sat down together, and after a glass of wine was slowly sipped, Uncle Tie suddenly asked, "You suddenly came to me for dinner today, is there something wrong?" he said as he put the vegetables in the bowl, saying casually.

Lao Tang also looked natural, put down the chopsticks slowly, and said, "I'm here for Lao Hu's business." You should have received the message. After speaking, he glanced up at Uncle Tie.

Uncle Tie's chopsticks brought the dish to his mouth, paused, put it back again, and said, "This dish doesn't taste right today!" In his voice, he lost a little bit of ease just now.

Old Tang looked at him and didn't speak.

Uncle Tie put down his chopsticks, pursed his mouth, and didn't speak for a while. He didn't speak, and Lao Tang didn't speak, and suddenly the atmosphere became solemn, and Liang Jian had no choice but to put down his chopsticks.

At this time, Uncle Tie finally spoke.

"I just heard the news that Hu Jingran's baby goddaughter received a lot of money from Jin Dazhuang. After Uncle Tie finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks again and reached out to grab a vegetable plate in front of him. As soon as the chopsticks touched the plate, Old Tang spoke: "What about Gu Jin?

Uncle Tie paused his chopsticks, then picked up the dishes and put them in his bowl, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." ”

Lao Tang obviously didn't believe it, stared at him, and asked: "Lao Tie, if I remember correctly, the nanny of the ancient and modern family seems to have sent someone to introduce him, right?"

Uncle Tie's face changed slightly, and then he laughed again, looked at Old Tang, and said, "You even know this, what are you asking me about ancient and modern things?"

"Where can I, an outsider, see the matter of people behind closed doors, of course I can only come to you, an insider, for help!"

Uncle Tie glanced at him, then lowered his gaze, fell on the table of dishes that had not moved much, looked at it quietly for a while, and said, "I only know that he is not clean either." But it's really not clear how much. ”

After listening to this, Lao Tang picked up the chopsticks, gave Liang Jian a chopstick dish, and said: "This dish is estimated to be the only place in China that can be made, you can taste it." ”

Liang Jian glanced at him, lowered his head and picked up the thing that was black on the outside, took a bite, the skin broke, and suddenly a stream of soup flowed out, accompanied by a rich milky fragrance, which was refreshing.

When Liang Jian was intoxicated by this aroma, he heard Old Tang ask Uncle Tie again: "Can you understand the play that Jin Dazhuang sang with Gu and Jin this time?"

Uncle Tie's hand on the table suddenly moved his fingers, and then said, "Recently, there was news that the Land Bureau would arrange for three people to study abroad for a year. There is a place on Lao Hu's side. Jin Dazhuang should want this place!"

"Just for this?" Old Tang frowned: "Even if Jin Dazhuang doesn't know, Lao Hu should also know that this kind of thing is not in my Old Tang's eyes." ”

Uncle Tie glanced at Old Tang meaningfully and said, "It is Gao Jing who leads the team. ”

Liang Jian, who was on the side, heard this name, and his heart chuckled. At the beginning of the Loushan tomb incident, although Luo Guanzhong stepped down in the end, this person who has been hiding behind the scenes and has never shown his face has always been remembered in his heart and lingered. At this moment, hearing Uncle Tie mention this name, Liang Jian immediately became focused.

Uncle Tie seemed to feel Liang Jian's gaze, tilted his head, looked at Liang Jian, and asked, "Do you know him?"

Liang Jian smiled and said, "I'm fortunate to have heard the name of this professor. ”

Uncle Tie glanced at him and said with a smile: "He does have his own unique views in academics. After saying that, he paused, and suddenly laughed twice.

These two laughs were a little strange, and Liang Jian looked at Uncle Tie suspiciously, puzzled.

At this time, Old Tang interjected: "He's back?"

"Nope. Uncle Tie replied.

Old Tang frowned and stopped asking. After sitting for a long time, Old Tang was leaving. The dishes on this table didn't move much, and Liang Jian felt pity when he looked at it. What's even more regrettable is that he obviously said that he came to eat, but Liang Jian didn't eat at all.

Uncle Tie left them to drink tea, and Old Tang smiled and pushed it.

Leaving the small bamboo building and walking out of the plum blossom courtyard, Liang Jian followed the path of Lao Tang and walked straight out. When I walked to the front yard, the red gate when I came in was already in front of me, and suddenly someone shouted behind me: "Tang Mingguo!"

Liang Jian and Old Tang both stopped, and when they turned around, it was Tang Mingyi.

When Liang Jian saw him, he was displeased in his heart. Old Tang directly lowered his face, looked at Tang Mingyi who came over, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Why is there a rule here, you can only come to Tang Mingguo, and I am not allowed to come Tang Mingyi?"

Old Tang frowned, stared at him for a while, and said, "It's good to meet you here, so I don't have to send someone to find you again." There is one thing, let me inform you, the last time Jingyu asked Yuan Li to repay the debt, there will be no second time, you remember. ”

Tang Ming's face changed, his face was a little annoyed, and he shouted: "What are you telling me about Jingyu's matter? He is your son!"

Old Tang's eyes narrowed and said, "My son, there is only one Liang Jian." As for Jing Yu, if he breaks off relations with you from now on, then I can accept it. ”

"Tang Mingguo, what do you mean?" Tang Ming jumped up and yelled at Tang Mingguo's nose. Old Tang's movements were so fast that people couldn't react, and as soon as the words fell, he had already grabbed Tang Mingyi's finger, and when he broke it back, a terrible scream suddenly came out of Tang Mingyi's mouth.

It's strange to say, there is a lot of movement here, but no one in this courtyard appeared, and Uncle Tie didn't come out just now. It's as if there's no one here but them.

"In the first half of my life, I looked at the old man's face, no matter what you do, I will endure it. But, now the old man is gone. In the rest of your life, if you want to get acquainted, stay away from me and Liang Jian, otherwise, even if Yuanli comes to beg me, I will still not show mercy!" After speaking, Old Tang suddenly had a fierce expression on his face, and before the fear on Tang Ming's face could take shape, his scream suddenly rose an octave.

"This time, it's for the last time. Remember, if there's a next time, it's not a matter of one finger. As soon as Old Tang let go, Tang Ming immediately held his hand and fell to the ground softly.

"Tang Mingguo, you madman!ah-"

Liang Jian saw that his index finger was close to the back of his hand at an unconventional angle. Looking at Old Tang, his face was cold. For some reason, Liang Jian felt a chill on his back, this kind of ruthlessness was something Liang Jian had never seen in Old Tang.

"Let's go. Old Tang glanced at him and woke him up, who was still stunned.

Liang Jian hurriedly followed, and came out of the old Tang residence, Tang Yi had already driven the car and was waiting outside the door. On the way back, Liang Jian didn't say a word to Lao Tang, today's scene was too shocking for Liang Jian.

Although, he has seen it even more ruthlessly, but today's protagonist is Lao Tang, and the opponent is Lao Tang's own brother. Liang Jian was in his heart, and he was suddenly filled with a complicated feeling for Lao Tang, both respectful and surprised.
