The waiter made a gesture of invitation and bowed in a very respectful manner, but there was no trace of flattery on his expression.
Fatty and Wuxie looked a little unhappy, but Lu Yao said excitedly: "It's coming, it's coming! Is this the legendary showdown?"
"The fat man was looking at the door just now. He definitely didn't see any old lady coming in. This old lady must have been waiting for us on the second floor. She watched every move we made here."
"Wu Xie, you are such a poor mistress. People look down on you."
Wu Xie rolled his eyes at Lu Yao, you are so excited.
Fatty was originally very unhappy, but seeing Lu Yao's excited look, Fatty suddenly didn't feel so unhappy anymore.
Fatty set up the formation with high spirits, Wu Xie walked at the front, Zhang Qilin and Fatty were on his left and right like two bodyguards, Lu Yao didn't want to participate in such a childish action, Xie Yuchen walked at the end.
The second floor is a combination of Chinese and Western decoration with the characteristics of old Beijing. It is full of private rooms. On one side is the stage in the center, and on the other side is the dining and theater stage.
Walking half a circle along the circular corridor, we came to the door of a huge box. The large carved screen door looked very grand. On one side were two young people in casual clothes standing at the door. They stood upright and looked very... Like a soldier, there is an elm carved plaque on the lintel, called "Caihe Hall".
"Wow! It's so grand!"
The waiter stopped here and said, "This is it, please come in." After saying that, he left immediately.
The two people at the door opened the door and immediately smelled the smell of Tibetan incense. Tibetan incense is a Buddhist product and also has health-preserving effects. It seems that the owner has very good taste.
Inside is a large space with a high ceiling, a crystal chandelier, an old copper-colored ceiling fan, and the surrounding columns are all carved with copper-green lotus flowers.
A screen was placed where the stage could be seen, temporarily blocking it.
After Wu Xie entered the door, he found that no one was there, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. However, before he could think about it, a young girl poked her head out from the screen and greeted with a smile: "This way."
The first thing I saw was that this girl was very white, her facial features were very delicate and pure, and her temperament was like jade.
Wu Xie turned around and glanced at Fatty and Zhang Qilin behind him. He was still a little nervous. Fatty pushed Wu Xie and said softly, "We are your followers now. Don't keep looking back at us."
Wu Xie had no choice but to hypnotize himself in his heart, "I am a gangster, I am a gangster, I walk with the wind, carry the wind!" After the hypnosis, I felt that I had a lot of confidence, so I walked behind the screen with my head held high. "
Going around the screen, there is a large space behind. There is a small root-carved table with a tea set on it. There are two people sitting there. The first thing I see is not the girl I saw before. The first thing I see is a silver-haired girl. elderly woman, she is wearing a purple cheongsam, her face is as white as snow.
Why is it called an old woman instead of an old lady? Although her hair is all white, there is no trace of age spots on her face. If it weren't for the wrinkles on her face, I would almost think that this old lady was carved out of jade. Woolen cloth.
Hearing Wu Xie's footsteps, the old lady turned her head and glanced at Wu Xie. Her eyes were very big and dark, and they looked very abrupt. Wu Xie felt a little panicked, why did this old lady act like a forbidden woman?
The young girl was sitting next to the table, looking innocently.
It was Zhang Qilin who pushed him before he reacted and said with a smile on his face: "Hello, Granny Huo, I am Wuxie."
The old lady held a cup of tea in her hand, drank a lot of it, and said silently: "I still don't believe it when others tell me. It turns out that this stinky dog really has no future, and it doesn't even look like a good thing."
"Are you still selling that thing? For such a simple thing, you still have to meet me. Could it be that your grandma asked you to come and meet me to see what my old friend has become?"
Ouch, this sour gas is almost flooding the Crescent Hotel.
Wu Xie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't expect that his grandfather didn't look amazing, and he had such a romantic affair when he was young, but the old lady was too long-term, wasn't she? It’s been half a century, and I’m still thinking about it.
Wu Xie scratched his head uncomfortably, not knowing how to face this kind of jealousy that spanned half the world, especially as the person involved, his grandfather was no longer here.
"You always misunderstand. My grandma doesn't know these things at all. Since my grandfather passed away, she has been in her hometown without leaving home. I haven't seen her for a long time."
"That's because she has poor vision and married a short-lived guy." The old lady said angrily.
He said in a sincere tone: "Grandma Huo, this thing doesn't mean much to me. I just want to know why you paid such a high price for it. I'm checking some things, which may have something to do with what you know. , if you tell me, I will give this to you immediately."
The old lady looked at Wu Xie with a half-smile, "You want to know about the house that Leili painted in this style?"
Wu Xie nodded sincerely, "As long as you tell me, I will give you the style thunder immediately."
"Okay, let your grandma ask me."
Good guy, I still have that old jealousy!
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, "There's no need to alarm my grandma for such a trivial matter, right?"
Old Mrs. Huo leaned on the chair and said, "Go back and discuss it with your grandma. If your grandma refuses to come forward, I guess it won't be a serious matter for you. You should rest as soon as possible. If your grandma doesn't come, you Don’t come to see me either. I like your things, but my old lady doesn’t lack one of these."
"That's not necessarily true." The speaker was Lu Yao, who had just come from Jie Yuchen.
Mrs. Huo turned to look at him, frowning, "Where are you from? Do you have the right to interrupt?"
Lu Yao sat generously next to Huo Xiuxiu, "If you really don't know who I am, wouldn't I have been thrown out by the two boys at the door before I even entered the door?"
Wu Xie looked at the old lady nervously. In fact, he should be blaming his grandfather in his heart. After so many years, he could still be blown up by the thunder planted by his grandfather.
Wu Xie thought about it for a while, and then he immediately sat down on the stool next to the old lady and said, "This matter is very important to me. If you play tricks on me like this, don't blame me for being rude. We will follow you wherever you go. Until you say so.”
Mrs. Huo, who was about to reprimand Lu Yao, suddenly turned her head and asked with an embarrassed look on her face: "Who told you to sit down? Get up!"
Wu Xie didn't expect that she would suddenly turn her back, but since she had already made her decision, it was naturally impossible to change it, "I won't get up if you don't agree."
The old lady got angry all of a sudden, "Xiuxiu, throw them out of here."
The girl stood up and looked like she was going to find someone.
The fat man remembered his duty as a bodyguard, and took a step forward and said: "What's the matter? My young master is sitting on your broken stool. What can you say? What's so weird about this stool? Can sitting on it and farting smell good? Old lady, we are here This is the 21st century, and the law does not punish scoundrels. If you find someone to chase us away, you are doing something wrong. My young master respects his elders. I am really a scoundrel. I will start a fight later and smash this place up. I'm afraid it will be harmful to your The reputation is also not good, and it would be even worse if it hurts you, don’t you think so?”
The girl, Huo Xiuxiu, said worriedly, "This stool is not for you to sit on whenever you want. What will happen if you sit on it? You -"
The old lady suddenly waved her hand to stop her from talking. The old lady's expression gradually softened, and was replaced by an indescribable expression. She looked at him coldly.
Looking at her expression, Wu Xie suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he had already done it, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Mother-in-law, please do a good job and stop playing tricks on me. The grievances and grievances between you and my grandma, How do I know, what did my grandfather do to make me sorry for you, why don't you slap me a few times?"
The old lady looked at her watch and said, "You only need to sit until half past four. If you can sit still, I won't make it difficult for you."
"Sit here?"
"Yes, just sit here, don't worry!" The old lady looked downstairs.
Suddenly, there was a sound of ringing bells downstairs, and the curtains in the entire building were closed one by one. Suddenly the surrounding area was completely dark. The giant chandelier in the center was turned on, and the magnificent light and shadows flickered. The old appliances, carpets, and curtains suddenly disappeared. In this kind of light, the child becomes very dim and gorgeous.
The ominous feeling became stronger. The old lady turned her face to the stage downstairs. Then, the people below began to become restless. Huo Xiuxiu asked the old lady, "Has it started yet?"
The old lady nodded: "It's started, you watch, we have a good show today."
