[Medicine Promise] The wisher takes the bait

Chapter 9

Making a wish can be counted as having been in love with Huang Yanyan for a period of time, but it was an eventful time at that time, and the two of them didn't really spend much time together, and it was the first time they came to the Huang's mansion.Wishing to look at this quaint mansion, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, these four veins are indeed big families, it seems that he is a bit out of place.

Huang Kewu's birthday this year is not considered a big birthday, and things in Wumai are still in chaos, so he didn't make a fuss. According to him, invite acquaintances to have a light meal, and just have a family dinner.Wishing didn't know their old rules. They even chose gifts for a long time. At first, they thought it would not be so embarrassing to come here with Yao, but they didn't expect Yao to tell him that the road was blocked by mudslides due to heavy rain in Jiangxi, and the train at least It won't open until tomorrow, and he can't come today.To make a wish, you can only bite the bullet and come here alone.

As soon as he entered the yellow house, when he made a wish, he saw Huang Yanyan standing at the door to welcome the guests.Making a wish felt even more cramped, and I was in a dilemma for a while.After he and Huang Yanyan broke up, they never contacted again. Occasionally, Huang Kewu had something to say to him, but it was because of the medicine.Although he and Huang Yanyan broke up peacefully, it was still embarrassing.

Huang Yanyan also saw the wish, she didn't move, just stood at the door and looked at him.It's not good to just stand there foolishly while making a wish, so she smiled and walked over.

"Here? My grandfather is in the study." Huang Yanyan pointed in a direction and made a wish.

Wishing for a moment.The other guests are all sitting in the living room. Is this what Huang Kewu means to see him?Huang Yanyan thought that she had seen through the idea of ​​making a wish, so she nodded.

Wishing to walk along the direction Huang Yanyan pointed, reached the end of the room, and knocked on the door.Huang Kewu's voice came from inside, "Come in."Wishing to open the door and go in, he saw Huang Kewu still wearing a silk kung fu shirt, standing in front of the table practicing calligraphy.There is heating in the house, so even if the weather is already cold, it will not feel cold.

Huang Kewu glanced at the wish, and put down the pen in his hand: "Come, play a game of chess with the old man." Huang Kewu's spirit is obviously much better than when he was in the hospital before, but compared to the time when the wish first met him The appearance of the wind is still much worse.

Wishing and nodding, he took off his coat and hung it up.

Huang Kewu was already sitting on the edge of the chessboard, and Wishing sat down opposite him. When he saw the chessboard, Wishing was stunned.This is a set of chess, and what Xu Zhi brought to Huang Kewu this time is also a set of chess.This was nothing at all, and it was normal for Huang Kewu to have several sets of chess at home.But this chess set is really too expensive.

The chessboard is made of wood, and it looks like Siamese rosewood, but Wishing has not studied wood, so it can't be seen.But the chess pieces on this chessboard are jadeite, which is the old profession of making wishes.He didn't need to pick it up and study it carefully, just by looking at it so simply, he could tell that the chess pieces were all made of old pit glass, at least from the Qing Dynasty, which was really priceless.

Huang Kewu saw that wishing was staring at the chess piece, he smiled and said: "As expected of a person from the Baizimen, can't walk when you see jade?"

Wishing and coughing embarrassedly: "Mr. Huang, I'm afraid you'll laugh if I say it. I'm here to celebrate your birthday. I really have nothing to offer, so I brought a pair of jade chess pieces." However, he Compared with this one, it really doesn't matter.

Huang Kewu shook his hand indifferently, and made a move first. "Compared to this, I would rather ask about you and Yanyan."

Just as he was about to make a wish, he was stunned when he heard this.Feelings, this old man came to Xingshi today to inquire about his crimes?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Huang Kewu also sighed: "At first I thought it was because of your seniority, but after listening to Yanyan's tone, it seemed that it was not just that. Forget it, my old man also cares about your young people's affairs." I can't mix it up." He paused for a moment, tilted his chess piece and said, "Make a wish, do you know that your grandfather also used such a chess game to save Wumai back then?"

Wishing and nodded: "It's about Wu Yanwang, Yanyan once told me about it."

Huang Kewu nodded and laughed: "Until now, whenever I look at the chessboard, I can recall Uncle Xu's appearance back then, facing Wu Yanwang's spear without any fear. Even after so many years, I still Remember clearly." When Huang Kewu mentioned Xu Yicheng, his eyes shone brightly, as if he was still the sixteen or seventeen-year-old child back then, full of nostalgia and longing.

"Wishing, you know that your grandfather was the patriarch of Wumai back then." Huang Kewu nodded upon seeing Wishing, and continued, "But Uncle Xu was exactly like you back then. The gatekeepers are not interested."

About Xu Yicheng, Xu Wish really knows too little, but from the population of these older generations, Xu Wish has already developed incomparable respect for this grandfather. "Old Huang, can you tell me more about my grandfather?"

Huang Kewu smiled: "You are Uncle Xu's grandson, you should know these things."

The old and the young just stayed in the house, chatting about the past while playing chess.Basically, Huang Kewu was narrating what happened when he and Liu Yiming Yaolai followed Xu Yicheng around. He made a wish and listened quietly. The more he listened, the more shocking he became.He knew that grandpa was a hero, but he didn't know that he was also a good elder and uncle.When he heard that Yao Lai even stole family money to buy opium back then, he was stunned to make a wish.

When Huang Kewu talked about these past events, he also missed them very much. "Without Uncle Xu, Old Yao would have smoked opium to death long ago, how could there be the current Yao family." Having said this, Huang Kewu's eyes suddenly darkened.Wishing to know, he thought of the appearance when the medicine came to commit suicide.

"Actually, all of us understand that Uncle Xu wants to be an archaeologist, and he is willing to take over the burden of patriarch, but for the sake of Wumai and to support the family." Huang Kewu sighed, "It's a pity... "

Huang Kewu shook his head and dropped the last stone.

Make a wish and smiled bitterly: "You won."

Huang Kewu smiled: "Brat, if you were Xu Yicheng, faced with Yao Shenxing's request before leaving, would you agree to take over this burden?"

Wishing for a moment, he was about to answer when he heard someone knocking on the door. "Grandpa, it's almost time." It was Huang Yanyan who came to call them.Huang Kewu responded, and asked Xu Wish to go out together.

This time, there were not many people invited for the birthday, almost all of them were from the five veins, but most of the people who made the wish did not know each other.Firecrackers are set off, the juniors kowtow to congratulate one by one, and the guests come in to offer congratulations. After this set of procedures, the banquet can begin.Wishing originally wanted to find a table to sit down at random, but Huang Kewu insisted on letting him sit at his table. Wishing to take a look, there was only one seat next to Huang Yanyan, but he had to bite the bullet and sit down.

The family banquet started, and Huang Yanyan and Xu Xu both ate without saying a word.Just when Wishing wanted to find something to talk about to break the silence, Huang Yanyan suddenly asked: "What have you been talking to grandpa for so long just now?"

Wishing to answer honestly: "Played a game of chess with Mr. Huang, and chatted about my grandfather."

"Yeah." Huang Yanyan responded, not knowing what she was thinking, and fell silent again.Wishing to open his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.The meal was a little tasteless.

When the banquet was almost finished, Huang Kewu suddenly stood up.Seeing that Huang Kewu had something to say, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and sat upright.Huang Kewu walked to the middle of the hall, and said in front of everyone: "Today, people from our five veins are all here. It just so happens that I also have something to announce."

What Huang Kewu said next surprised everyone present, and making a wish was no exception.Huang Kewu was getting old, and he once mentioned that he wanted to re-elect a head of the family in the five veins, but he made a wish, but he did not expect that Huang Kewu would support him on behalf of the Huang family in front of everyone to be the head of the family.

It turned out that Huang Kewu told him so many things about Xu Yicheng today because of this.Wishing a wry smile, he kind of understood how grandpa felt when he was driven away from the shelves.

Wishing to subconsciously glance at Huang Yanyan, only to find that she also looked surprised.It seems that Huang Kewu didn't even tell Huang Yanyan about this sudden decision.

Because of Huang Kewu's sudden words, the whole family banquet suddenly seemed to be blown up.There are not a few people who know how to object without listening carefully to make a wish.Although their Baizimen is indeed one of the five veins, but in terms of people, he is alone, and the family has no power at all, so why should they compete with the children of these aristocratic families.In addition, Huang Kewu's recent crackdown on counterfeiting in the five veins has already touched the scales of many people, and they are simmering in the fire both openly and secretly, and they will catch fire at any point.

There is no way to make a wish, but Mr. Huang has pushed him to the cusp of the storm.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to stand up and raise objections.Then, like a queue, everyone stood up and disagreed with making a wish to take on this important task.It is obviously a satire that wishing is not qualified, but it is actually a slap in the face of Huang Kewu.

Gradually, the wishing became unbearable.He is not qualified enough, it is normal for these people to object, anyway, he is not interested in the patriarch of Wumai, and he doesn't care if people gossip.However, many people took advantage of the issue and turned a corner to disrespect Huang Kewu, and the anger of wishing became a little bit up.

Even Huang Yanyan gradually couldn't hold back anymore, and cursed a few words in a low voice.

Just as he was making a wish and wanted to speak out, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door. "Hey, I didn't expect that besides Mr. Huang's birthday, there would be such a big event today. No one notified me, so I almost missed it."

It turned out to be medicine.He also dragged a suitcase in one hand, obviously he came here without even returning home.

Wishing looked at him in surprise.Didn't the train stop? How did this guy get here?

Yao Oran smiled and dragged his suitcase into the hall in full view of everyone, walked straight to make a wish, patted him on the shoulder, turned around and said to everyone: "I heard that the Huang family supports the wish of Baizimen? Okay, then I will make a wish today." This also represents Xuan Zimen's attitude. Our Yao family also chooses to make a wish."
