Tang Mingjing paused when he heard this and sighed in his heart.
He ordered his servants to serve tea and wine. He knew that Mr. Wang was good at wine and always kept it in mind. He also knew that Mr. Wang drank tea, so he served them both.
Long time no see.
Tang Mingjing already looked gray-haired.
The boyish look he had at the beginning is long gone. A few empty teeth can still be seen vaguely when he opens his mouth. They are already outdated.
Not only is he old, but his body bones are also not as good as before. His rickety back seems to be caused by the accumulation of long periods of lowering his head, and his posture is no longer straight.
Like an old bone.
Tang Mingjing sighed and said: "Times are fleeting. I remember that the last time I saw my husband, Mingjing was getting married. He was just in his prime. Now he has become an old man."
As he spoke, he laughed self-deprecatingly. The laughter seemed a little weak and out of breath.
As he said that, he reached out to grab the peanuts on the table, held the shells in both hands, and peeled one after another.
Chen Changsheng looked at him and said: "You are fifty or sixty years old, but you have a body of seventy or eighty years old. I don't know how you live."
Tang Mingjing said: "Sir, I'm surprised. It's just because there are so many businesses. With so much business, you always have to go through it yourself. Otherwise, how can you relax?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head, and then said: "I heard a joke from someone, saying that the greatest sorrow in this world is that when a person dies, the money is not spent."
Tang Mingjing smiled after hearing this, but said humbly: "Sir, what you said makes sense, then I will spend my money well and try to spend it all before I die."
Chen Changsheng waved his hand, it was just a joke.
He asked: "Is Miss Yun going to Beijing?"
Tang Mingjing paused, glanced at his husband, and said, "Sir, my adopted sister is sick."
Chen Changsheng was slightly startled after hearing this, "Are you sick?"
Tang Mingjing nodded.
"Sick to my heart."
Tang Mingjing said: "Many of the crazy men and resentful women in the market have this kind of disease. They miss their sweetheart for too long and become depressed and sick."
Being humble, he became a lot bolder and made such a joke.
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng opened his mouth and naturally understood what Tang Mingjing meant.
He picked up the wine on the table and took a sip, then turned to look out the window, as if thinking about something.
Tang Mingjing peeled the peanuts and said, "Sir, eat the peanuts."
Then he handed the peeled peanuts to Mr. Chen.
Chen Changsheng took it and thanked him, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart. The Tang Mingjing in front of him looked as if he had aged.
In fact, he is indeed old.
Even though he had experienced this kind of thing countless times, Chen Changsheng would still feel dazed, as if the energetic young man he saw one day before had become a lifeless old man the next day.
Peanuts are delicious, with a slight earthy smell. They are not bitter, but rather sweet. They should be dug out of the ground in season. They are the sweetest.
Tang Mingjing enjoyed this bite and said with a smile: "I fell ill once before. The doctor said that I had insufficient Qi and blood, so he asked me to eat more food to replenish my energy. I can eat some peanuts for snacks on weekdays. It is quite sweet when I taste it."
Chen Changsheng asked: "Why do you like these sweet snacks as you get older?"
“I just like to eat when I’m old.”
Tang Mingjing smiled and said: "The only ones who like to eat sweets are children and the elderly. I am not the one."
Chen Changsheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Tang Mingjing breathed a sigh of relief, but his tone sounded a little unconvinced, and he said again: "You are really old..."
"Not convinced?"
"Of course I'm a little unconvinced."
Tang Mingjing smiled and said: "If I were young and ambitious, I wouldn't have to be timid at all. I would always go on a rampage. Although I didn't think well, I would always have the energy to deal with the unexpected events. Now I can't..."
Now he is not willing to take any risks.
What he was dissatisfied with was not his life span, but his mentality.
It's an old mentality.
Chen Changsheng ate peanuts, mixed it with a sip of wine, which made it a little sweeter, and said, "People will grow old."
Tang Mingjing said: "My husband told me in the early years that success depends on people, and planning depends on heaven. Three parts of heaven and earth depend on people, and seven parts depend on people. After so many years, it has indeed been verified, but now I can't fight anymore. For a while, I don’t know what to do. With this huge family property, there are wolves in front of me and tigers in the back. I have to take care of the safety of my children, wives and children. I’m afraid, so I don’t dare to do anything. I only guard this one-third of an acre. The earth is just waiting to die."
Chen Changsheng said: "Don't you dare to do it?"
"yes."
"What about the portrait of Qingshan City?"
"that……"
Tang Mingjing paused slightly and said, "It's a favor owed in the early years."
"Is that just it?"
Tang Mingjing smiled, did not defend himself anymore, and continued to peel the peanuts. He looked honest and honest.
"I can't help it." Tang Mingjing said: "This business is big, and there will always be people who are jealous. I have to find a reliable dealer."
At least it can ensure that the Tang family will still have a chance after his death instead of being driven out and killed.
Chen Changsheng sighed lightly, but he actually understood how helpless Tang Mingjing was.
How could a smart person like him be so stupid as to expose himself to the gaze, let alone not understand the four words "Mingzhe protect one's self"? What caused all this was nothing more than someone pushing him away, and even more so. He had to go.
Just like a puppet.
Now that the situation is like this, Tang Mingjing is in a dilemma. Doing nothing is the best thing.
Chen Changsheng looked at him and asked: "What are your plans for the future? Give it a try or what? You know, even if you make the right choice, it may not end well."
Tang Mingjing did not speak, but just lowered his head and said: "Who knows, this world is so big, it's not the king's land, where can I escape if I want to escape, let alone this big family, how can I carry a piece of it with me?" .”
Chen Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore."
"Um."
Tang Mingjing also felt a little headache and was unwilling to talk about something.
"I heard that King Kang was defeated? King Yan took over the border lands?"
"Yes, King Yan is very courageous."
"What's the situation now?"
"It looks like it's already a little unsteady, and it's about to start a fight."
Tang Mingjing said: "This time, the spearhead is pointed at the King of Wei. Now the land of Wei is divided. The King of Jin and King Yan have reached a cooperation and plan to collude with the land of Wei. I am afraid that the King of Wei will also join the King of Yan." ’s footsteps.”
Chen Changsheng thought for a while, and then it really became a three-legged situation.
"But now we still have a reason." Tang Mingjing smiled and said, "But it's coming soon. With the incident of Xue Dao, the reason will be there soon."
"The bloody thing?"
