Chapter 1406 What a big pit
Chapter 1406 It's a big pit
After Xia Xiang entered Beijing, he separated from the Prime Minister and went directly to the Wu family.
Mr. Wu was enjoying flowers and tea in the afternoon sun, very leisurely. When Xia wanted to enter the door, the old man put down the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand and smiled: "Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature... Xiaoxia, what is nature?"
What an unexpected beginning, Xia Xiang laughed too, and the old man was also interesting. He came up without asking about the whole story of his affairs, and did not pursue the old man's fault, but discussed with him the famous quotes in the "Tao Te Ching". Should he test him or take him?
"The earth is so virtuous that it carries everything, the sky is compatible with everything, the sun and the moon pass by, so naturally it is inaction and everything..." Xia Xiang smiled, "I wonder if my answer is satisfied with the old man?"
"It doesn't matter whether I am satisfied or not, what's important is whether Lao Gu is satisfied." Old Master Wu smiled complacently and looked at the corner of the yard.
Xia Xiang noticed that Lao Gu was squatting on the ground in a corner of the yard, enjoying a potted plant with relish.
It is not accurate to say that potted plants are, to be precise, they should be called bonsai, with mountains, waters, trees, pavilions, and figures in the pavilion. From a distance, the mountains are high and deep, concrete and small, very delicate and vivid, just like shrinking the great rivers and mountains into a square inch, making people love them at first sight.
It is the favorite landscape painting of Mr. Wu. It was originally obtained by the Prime Minister inadvertently. I heard that Mr. Wu loves bonsai the most and specially gives it to him as a birthday gift.
Lao Gu also heard Xia Xiang's voice, but deliberately ignored Xia Xiang and just admired the landscape pictures in a daze. His love was beyond words.
"If you can convince Lao Wu to give me the landscape map, I will spare you once." Lao Gu did not look back, and threw the first sentence to Xia to think of a big problem, "Don't talk about the profound and profound topics such as the Heaven and Heaven and the Heaven and the Tao. My question is very simple. If you think of a way to move the landscape map to my car outside, I will help you solve the legacy problems. Otherwise, you will not open your mouth."
Xia Xiang couldn't laugh and cry. It's really a matter of human heart. It's rare for him to cheat once. Well, even Lao Gu, who has always been honest, learned to cheat as usual, which really makes him speechless.
Lao Gu hasn't been to the Wu family for decades. Although the two old men still have grudges for his affairs and cannot let go of their past grudges, at least it is an amazing step to make Lao Gu appear in the Wu family by making an exception.
Although Lao Gu did not say it, and even gave him a seemingly cold back, Xia Xiang still felt the old man's earnest concern and was very moved.
Xia Xiang didn't answer, but turned around and came to Mr. Wu again and asked with a smile: "My grandpa, have you had any profound experiences recently when I was studying the "Tao Te Ching"?"
"If you have some experience, but not profound, you can only be like a person drinking water, and you will know the heat and heat... Why, have you also read the "Tao Te Ching"?"
"I read some of them, but I can't understand some of the truths. Please help me with answers."
"Let me tell me." The old man didn't hear Xia Xiang's conversation with Lao Gu just now, so he looked at Xia Xiang with a smile, "No matter how much things happen, it's a good thing to calm down and read more books."
"The five colors make people blind, and the five sounds make people deaf - does it mean that the world of flowers and the sound of deafness make people blind and deaf?" Xia Xiang asked seriously, looking as if he was humbly taught.
When people get old, they like to think about the great principles and comprehend life. They like young people who are humbly asking for advice the most. Xia Xiang's attitude is very correct, which makes the old man very happy. He pondered a little and explained to Xia Xiang: "It means, don't be too attached to the colorful and colorful sounds of the world. Everything in the world must follow a principle that is too much or too much. If it is implemented in the great principles of life, it means not to lose its direction by various appearances and all kinds of temptations in the world. You must stick to your ideals and be wise to do it..."
"Listen to the old man, it is better to read ten years of study." Xia Xiang immediately gave a not-so-savvy flattery for free. Without waiting for the old man to say anything, he immediately said, "In order not to keep you from being too attached to the beautiful scenery of the world, I will give you your landscape pictures to me. I believe that your old state has reached the state of viewing everything in the world as nothing, and you won't care about a small pot of bonsai..."
Mr. Wu was stunned...
I thought that after Xia Xiang came, I would use a few unfathomable Taoist sayings to shock him so that he could restrain himself. Don’t be fooled in front of the old man. The old man is knowledgeable and unfathomable. It’s not that you, a little man, can fiddle with him. I didn’t want to go around for a long time and then circled himself in. Xia Xiang... It’s really a little slippery person that is hard to find in the world!
Mr. Wu laughed angrily.
After laughing, he didn't think much about it. Although he loved landscape bonsai very much, since he was surrounded by a little guy, he rarely asked him for anything, so he pretended to be generous and waved his hand: "Just move away."
As a result, what made the old man laugh and cry was so angry that Xia Xiang happily moved the bonsai to Lao Gu's car, which shocked Lao Gu to his shock. Then he agreed to Xia Xiang in a low voice with a willingness to accept the bet.
At this point, Mr. Wu fully understood. Not only did he not shock Xia Xiang, but he was tricked by Xia Xiang again, cheated away his bonsai, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and made Lao Gu cover up... Mr. Wu was smart for a lifetime and confused for a while. Lao Gu was also judged by a pot of bonsai, and as a result, the little guy ate his next house and ate his next house.
The old man hasn't laughed happily for a long time, and he can't help laughing again today. The laughter echoes in the Wu family's courtyard, which is the long-lost happiness of the Wu family.
Lao Gu happily put the bonsai in the car and after the placement was done, he heard Mr. Wu's laughter and saw Xia Xiang holding back the strange laughter on the side, and then he understood something. After learning that the two old men had only met and were fooled by the little ones, he couldn't help laughing.
Amid the cheerful laughter of the two old men, Xia Xiang mentioned the for the first time that Ye Tiannan, Ye Dibei, and Ye Dibei and the military had tactfully and firmly all the behind-the-scenes of the smuggling of oil from Ye Tiannan and Ye Dibei and the military. Ye Tiannan, as the biggest promoter behind the road and bridge in Hunan Province, not only did many things that were angry and resentful in Hunan Province, but also was chased by the military all the way. Ye Tiannan, as a hidden mastermind, also played a certain role in fueling the fire.
Mr. Wu frowned and said nothing. Lao Gu kept playing with the two jade balls in his hand, as if he was silent. In fact, the jade balls rotated much faster than before.
"Old Wu, what do you say?" Lao Gu asked first.
Mr. Wu sighed: "It's nothing to smuggle oil with the military. It's nothing to make money by building a Hunan Provincial Highway and Bridge. Even if he makes Hunan Province chaotic and angry, it's not my business. But when his idea hit Xia Xiang, his hands were too long..."
"I chopped my hands and feet, is it enough to vent my anger?" Lao Gu was very straightforward and put the jade ball on the table. "That person named Ye Tiannan made me very angry. You can make money by colluding with the army, but you still want to use the power of the army to influence local affairs. You have to teach a lesson. Especially those who are making trouble all the way and those who are dying. Do you really think that the two old guys are dead?"
Mr. Wu waved his hand and smiled, "Ye Tiannan just wants to learn from Xia and be a fulcrum, but he forgot one thing. To be a fulcrum, he must be strong enough and smart enough..."
Xia Xiang interrupted very promptly: "Not only should you be strong and smart enough, but you should also be cared for by two elderly people."
Mr. Wu laughed and scolded: "Great!"
Then he said: "Actually, Xia Xiang not only manipulated the two of us old guys along the way, but also made some of Ye Tiannan and some of them fiddled with. Otherwise, he would be caught up on purpose by walking and stopping along the way, and it was really considered a trip. We should see if the two of us old guys really loved him and how much power they used to protect him. We also kept throwing baits to let the fish behind take the bait. So, Lao Gu, you are angry with Ye Tiannan now, and Xia Xiang is also digging you again."
"If you want to get a pit, I'll get angry." Unlike Mr. Wu's care, he should show his wisdom. The difference is that Lao Gu would rather be fooled by Xia Xiang than be calm. "Yangcheng Military Region and Hunan Military Region, I'm ready to move. Old Wu, it's a bit difficult for me to tossing alone. You have to help."
"What are you going to do in the Lu Military Region? Xia Xiang borrowed Qiu Renli's hand and kicked the ball over." Mr. Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was considering the priorities of the matter.
"You asked me, have you already knew it? Not only you, but the little guy has a plan, just to give a big gift to the General Secretary." Lao Gu also narrowed his eyes, but he smiled with his eyes narrowed, "The General Secretary should also express his feelings as Xia Xiang sees the scenery along the way."
"As far as I say, do this..." Mr. Wu opened his eyes again. Even though his eyes were open and closed, although he was not like an emperor, many people were afraid that they would be unable to protect their official hats. "I will take the lead in the Hunan Provincial Military Region and the Yangcheng Military Region. The Henan Provincial Military Region and the Lu Municipal Military Region will be regulated by the General Secretary."
"That's fine." Lao Gu nodded, suddenly remembered something again, shook his head, "No, no, Lao Wu, you just work together, or you still don't have enough effort. Where is your front battlefield? If you don't have sincerity, the little guy will not be satisfied, and he will be bullied in vain?"
"It would be great if I could hide behind my back and help you. What else do you want? We are moving that person's cake! Besides, I'm not working hard on the frontal war, I'm afraid it's more difficult than you."
After Lao Gu was stunned, he understood what Mr. Wu was referring to again, and nodded with satisfaction: "Be more ruthless, don't show mercy. When you are kind and soft-hearted, you will be hard-hearted if you think of Xia Xiang almost killed."
Mr. Wu laughed: "Lao Gu, you have known me for decades. When did you see me weak? "
