In Hu Hai's room, everyone sat in different positions.
Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia sat on the left and right next to Hu Hai, one half lying on the chair and the other lazily leaning on the back of the seat.
Xu Chenxi and Hu Shouyu were sitting a little further away, sitting a little upright. Both of them looked a little nervous.
"Everyone, please have some tea."
Nishang brought a wooden tray, and four cups of steaming tea floated in along with the aroma of tea.
The tea cup is very particular. It is a light green jade cup, and you can clearly see the tea gently ripples in the cup.
"This is Biluochun that was just picked in March. It has a mild taste. It is difficult to have such a taste if it is a moment late or a moment early." Hu Shouyu took a sip and praised.
Nishang nodded and said with a smile: "If I had known that Mr. Hu knew tea, I would have brought some tea to serve the guests better."
Hu Shouyu quickly waved his hand and said: "I only know a little bit about it. Before my family was not so depressed, I had tasted most types of tea."
"If this matter can be resolved smoothly, Mr. Hu can take some tea from home when he leaves." Nishang put away the tray, "Then everyone can continue to talk about business, I will go out first."
Su Jianxia stood up, sent Nishang out, closed the door of the room, looked at Hu Hai who was chatting quietly with Wei Ziqi, and couldn't help but ask, "Qin... Hu... No, Should your last name be Ying?”
Hu Hai glanced at Su Jianxia and said to Wei Ziqi, "It's hard to imagine that a person like you would be accompanied by a girl who doesn't look very smart."
Su Jian Xia Yi glared: "Who do you think is not smart?"
"Look, how come it's still correct?"
"I'm the only girl he brought!" Su Jianxia said angrily.
"Sorry, I forgot about this." Hu Hai pretended to be surprised.
"After all, he is a man who has been an emperor. He is still an old man who has lived for more than two thousand years. He is as knowledgeable as a little girl like me. He is not generous at all!" Su Jianxia launched a serious accusation against Hu Hai.
Hu Hai leaned back and said matter-of-factly: "It's not like you haven't read history, and you don't know that I am a playboy who always likes to tease little girls when they have nothing to do."
Su Jianxia was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Satisfied, Hu Hai patted Wei Ziqi on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Brother, you have to be careful when getting married. Look at me, I have found seven wives, each one is more powerful than the other. Although every man envy me, but you Do you think I'm happy? I don't dare go out to see them every day, it's too bad."
After saying that, he glanced at Su Jianxia intentionally or unintentionally.
Su Jianxia's brows rose, and when he was about to give out, Wei Ziqi coughed twice, "Well, it doesn't matter what his previous name was. Call him Yang, this is his new name now. "
"This is no longer the point. The point is that he just said bad things about me!" Su Jianxia frowned and was about to continue talking. Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw Hu Hai's computer screen, which was stuck on the interface of a classic two-word game. When Su saw Xia, he couldn't hold it back and cursed, "woc, original?"
Hu Hai's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a dead fly in the next second. He stretched out his hand to close the computer screen, and then looked at Su Jianxia. The two of them refused to give in to each other and looked at each other tit for tat.
"Can you two do something serious?" Wei Ziqi quickly came out to smooth things over.
"I didn't realize she was insulting me." Hu Hai gritted his teeth and said.
"Both each other." Su Jianxia was not inferior to the famous Qin II in the history.
Seeing this, Wei Ziqi simply spread his hands and began to sip tea with his head down, ignoring them both.
Hu Shouyu in the back was a little nervous. He was holding the backpack in his hand and hesitated to speak. He wanted to stand up and say something, but he could not muster the courage.
Xu Chenxi on the side was not looking around curiously like when he first came in. At this time, he was sitting upright on the chair with a calm expression and didn't know what he was thinking.
When Wei Ziqi quickly finished a cup of tea, the confrontation between the two finally ended.
Hu Hai was the first to be defeated. He turned his head and waved his hand, "Forget it. If you really count the ancestors on the first page of your family tree according to age, you have to call me ancestor. I won't argue with the little girl."
"Then the emperor is really rich." Su Jianxia teased, then sat back on the stool with satisfaction and waved to Hu Shouyu, "Mr. Hu, come here and talk about your business."
Hu Shouyu had been extremely anxious at the back. When he heard that he was called, he quickly jumped up from his chair, suppressed his inner nervousness and excitement, and walked as steadily as possible to the three of them.
"Win...Mr. Hu?" Hu Shouyu asked tentatively. After seeing Hu Hai frown slightly, Su Jianxia quickly poked him with his arm, and he immediately reacted: "Mr. Yang!"
Hu Hai nodded, "Take out the things."
Hu Shouyu hurriedly opened his backpack and carefully placed the jade statue that was now dyed blood red on the table in front of Hu Hai. The moment it touched the table, the last touch of white at the bottom of the jade statue completely turned into red.
Wei Ziqi glanced back calmly. When the jade statues all turned red, Xu Chenxi's expression behind him was a little unnatural, as if he was suppressing something.
Hu Hai looked at the jade statue, closed his eyes, and tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, seeming to be thinking about something.
Time passed by, and the hands of the clock on the wall had moved from three o'clock to four o'clock.
Although it is already summer, the temperature here always remains at a comfortable 20 degrees.
Despite this, Hu Shouyu was still sweating uncontrollably as he stood there, and most of the clothes on his back were wet. Coupled with the recent events at home, his thin body could not stand standing there for an hour now.
Su Jianxia looked at Hu Shouyu's legs starting to tremble slightly and felt a little unbearable. Just when she was about to ask Hu Shouyu to go back and sit down and wait, Hu Hai opened his eyes and looked at Hu Shouyu.
Hu Shouyu quickly stood up straighter and tried his best to stabilize his legs.
"Does Mr. Hu know the origin of this jade statue?" Hu Hai asked.
"I heard it from my elders when I was a kid." Hu Shouyu nodded and repeated what he said to Wei Ziqi and the others that day in Chaoge.
"Apart from these? In which tomb was this jade statue unearthed? What is the true origin of the jade statue? What is the identity of the woman sealed inside?" Hu Hai continued to ask.
Hu Shouyu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then whispered: "I have never heard the elders in the family mention this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Shouyu heard the strange woman named Xu Chenxi behind him sneer.
Looking back, Xu Chenxi looked at him with a somewhat mocking smile, and Hu Shouyu couldn't help but shudder.
When he recovered and was about to ask Xu Chenxi what he meant, Hu Hai asked again: "Is it true that I haven't mentioned it before, or do you dare not say it?"
Hu Shouyu's heart trembled, he swallowed, and secretly glanced at Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia before hesitatingly said: "I once heard an elder in the family accidentally say that it seems that there is something sealed in this jade statue. ...is the first generation matron in the family."
After hearing what Hu Shouyu said, Su Jianxia's hand that was about to drink tea suddenly shook, and some of the tea in the cup spilled onto his lap.
Su Jianxia casually took out two pieces of paper and wiped the tea on his legs. He first glanced at Wei Ziqi. Wei Ziqi didn't seem surprised, as if he already knew the answer.
"Why didn't you mention this when you came to the store that day?" Su Jianxia looked at Hu Shouyu and felt a little unhappy, "You came to ask us for help, and you were so secretive."
Hu Shouyu quickly explained: "I'm really sorry, Miss Su. It's just that this matter was indeed a bit ugly. The family scandal should not be made public. Our family has always regarded this matter as the biggest shame of the family, and no one wants to mention it. "
"Then your family is really disgusting. You regard this matter as a shame, and you still want to enjoy the benefits that your mistress has brought to the family, and you don't hesitate to let her soul be sealed in this jade statue for a thousand years." Su Jian Xia sneered.
Hu Shouyu lowered his head, feeling a little at a loss. It took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "At first, I thought that who was sealed here would have little influence on this matter, so I didn't say it. Moreover, we also built a building for our mother in the family. Go to the ancestral hall and worship every day..."
"Offering? Are you sure that's called enshrining? Didn't someone teach you this method and let you leave her soul in the jade statue forever in this way of offering sacrifices?" Before Hu Shouyu finished speaking, a man with a little A sullen female voice interrupted him.
The sudden sound made Hu Shouyu tremble, and he looked around nervously, trying to find the source of the sound.
There were only two women in the room, so the one who said this was naturally not Su Jianxia, but the somewhat mysterious Xu Chenxi.
"Miss Xu, do we know each other? Why do you seem to know so much about our Hu family?" Hu Shouyu couldn't help but ask.
Xu Chenxi's face was expressionless, "Of course we don't know each other, but what your Hu family did is really ugly. It's so ugly that it's hard not to let people know about it."
"What we did was indeed wrong, but if we really talk about it, it was also done by the head of the family more than a thousand years ago and has nothing to do with us. The way of offering sacrifices has also been passed down from generation to generation from our ancestors. What we have in our hands is that we are sincere in the repentance of that mistress, and we also ask Miss Xu not to wantonly slander our Hu family."
"It's really the same virtue as before." After Xu Chenxi said this, he stopped looking at him.
Hu Shouyu only felt a little confused. He just said that he didn't know him. Why was he now the same as before?
"What if this matter has anything to do with you?" Hu Hai suddenly asked.
Hu Shouyu was stunned for a moment, with a strange look on his face, "Hu... Mr. Yang, are you kidding me? That was more than a thousand years ago. I'm only forty years old this year..."
Hu Hai looked at Hu Shouyu and said, "Let me tell you a story about your family."
