Chapter 264 The Adopted Son (1)(1/2)
Outside the gate of the villa, Kong Laozheng, wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, walked out of the car with a smile. Kong Chenglin, the fourth brother of the Kong family, was also Kong Chenglin.
Mr. Kong looked very good, and seemed to be talking about something interesting with Kong Chenglin, but he still laughed constantly after getting off the bus.
Kong Chengxuan was also here because Jiang Xu would treat him here today, and Kong Baiying stood behind Kong Chengxuan and pushed a wheelchair for his father.
"Old Kong, you are here, please come in."
Jiang Xu had already walked to the door and came out to welcome Mr. Kong.
"This little guy is actually polite to me." Old Kong said with a smile, then strode into the villa.
Mr. Kong and Mr. Liu have been in brotherly relationship for more than 50 years. They went to the battlefield together, killed the enemy together, and lived and died together. For Mr. Kong, there was no difference between coming to Lingyun Village and returning home, and it was very casual.
As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Kong asked: "Where is Old Liu, where is our old birthday star?"
"Old man is in the inner courtyard, Mr. Kong, do you want me to call me?" Jiang Xu replied. At this time, Mr. Liu was talking to his parents, but Mr. Kong said that he naturally needed to inform Mr. Liu first.
"No need, I'll just go find him."
Mr. Kong waved his hand and walked directly towards the inner courtyard. Jiang Xu naturally followed.
The group came directly outside Mr. Liu's study room. Jiang Xu went up and knocked on the door gently, and the door of the study room had already opened.
It was Jiang Qiming who opened the door. He first glanced at Jiang Xu, and then his eyes had already fallen on Kong Lao.
The next moment, Jiang Qiming was already stunned.
An excitement was obviously surging on his face, because he saw the idol in his heart, the invincible Chinese war god with outstanding military achievements.
At this time, Jiang Qiming finally understood who the big man Jiang Xu was talking about, and it was obvious that he was old in front of him.
Old Kong was also stunned. His old eyes were almost fixed on Jiang Qiming's face, and there was an extremely excited expression on his face.
He suddenly stretched out his hand, and Old Kong pressed directly on Jiang Qiming's shoulders, and then said excitedly: "Changguan, are you the brother of Changguan?"
Mr. Kong's reaction obviously scared everyone present.
Even Jiang Xu and Jiang Qiming were stunned, but soon, Jiang Xu had already reacted.
Mr. Liu and Mr. Kong are comrades-in-arms. Then Mr. Kong must also know his grandfather. His father looks so similar to his grandfather. Under the slightest excitement, Mr. Kong obviously regarded his father as his grandfather.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xu thought of his appearance. Although he was somewhat similar to his father, he was more inherited from his mother.
Otherwise, Mr. Liu and Mr. Kong might have recognized themselves directly when they met their first meeting.
And at this moment, Old Liu's voice sounded from the study: "Old Kong, he is not Changguan. If Changguan is still alive now, he may not be younger than the two of us."
While talking, Mr. Liu had already walked out of the study room.
"It turns out that it's not a long crown."
Listening to what Mr. Liu said, Mr. Kong's face was obviously filled with an extremely sad look, and more disappointed.
Changguan died and had left this world. As Mr. Liu said, if Jiang Changguan was still alive, his age was basically not much different from them. How could he be so young?
But soon, Old Kong realized something, stared at Jiang Qiming with anticipation, and said, "No, he looks so similar to Changguan. Could it be that he is the descendant of Changguan?"
Mr. Liu naturally would not hide anything, and nodded slightly and said, "That's right, he is Changguan's son, Jiang Qiming."
After obtaining confirmation from Mr. Liu, Mr. Kong's eyes obviously turned red. He looked up and said to Cangtian: "God opens his eyes, God opens his eyes..."
It can be clearly seen from the expression of Mr. Kong that his original friendship with Jiang Changguan must be extraordinary.
Mr. Liu said, "Old Kong, Changguan has a grandson, do you want to know who it is?"
"Who is it?" Old Kong asked hurriedly.
"Here, it's him." Old Liu pointed his hand directly at Jiang Xu.
"What, Jiang Xu is the grandson of Brother Changguan. Yes, Jiang Xu is also surnamed Jiang. I know why I like this little guy so much. It turns out that he is the grandson of Brother Changguan, hahaha."
Old Kong was stunned at first, but the next moment, he couldn't help laughing.
Mr. Liu nodded with great emotion. Like Mr. Kong, they all had an inexplicable favoritism towards Jiang Xu, so their attitude towards Jiang Xu was almost like their descendants.
If it were another young man, even if he loved him, how could he be so casual as Mr. Liu and Mr. Kong?
All of this is fate.
The regrets of forty years ago finally gave him a chance to make up for them forty years later.
"Old Kong, do you know my grandfather too?" Although he had a guess in his heart, Jiang Xu still asked.
"It's not just about knowing each other. Changguan and I are good brothers who are loyal to each other. I, Kong, have never been convinced by anyone in my life, but I have been your grandfather. In the army, he was the number one tiger general in the army."
Mr. Kong seemed to have recalled the war years of that year, and his expression was obviously very excited while speaking.
Jiang Xu didn't expect that his grandfather was still such a powerful figure. Unfortunately, his grandfather left too early. Otherwise, with his grandfather's contribution to the military, he would definitely be the main figure in the military in that era. The current Jiang family may also be a major leader in the military.
However, history cannot be changed.
Although grandpa has left, grandpa probably won’t have much regret, because he has two good brothers and two good brothers with deep affection.
"At that time, Changguan and you were the two tiger generals of our army. They were invincible and could defeat them in every battle." Old Liu sighed, his eyes full of memories.
Kong Lao continued, "If Changguan was still there, how great would it be. We three brothers, one in literature and two in martial arts, you were the military advisors, and Changguan and I were sharp swords. Those days were the most unforgettable moments in my life."
"Okay, everyone come in and sit down. Don't stand outside and talk. By the way, Qiming just gave me a good thing, just for you all to see."
Mr. Liu also misses him, but he still greets everyone in the study room first-
After entering the study room, everyone sat down around the sofa.
The coffee table in the middle is the jade tea set that Jiang Xu asked his father to give to the old man. Obviously, the old man had already tasted it, and the good thing he was talking about naturally refers to this tea set.
It is naturally impossible for Mr. Liu to do it personally if he makes tea.
Qingshu brewed another pot of fragrant tea with hot water, and then poured a cup for everyone on behalf of Mr. Liu. Fortunately, Jiang Xu carved nine tea cups, which was enough for everyone to use.
Mr. Kong sat next to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu personally picked up the teacup for Mr. Kong, and then smiled and said, "Old Kong, this tea is extraordinary. I can tell you clearly that you will definitely not be able to drink it outside."
"It's so magical, then I need to see it well."
Although Kong Lao said this, he was a little convinced. He only liked drinking and had no interest in tea. If it weren't for the fact that he would occasionally drink some fragrant tea because he wanted to rest and cultivate his character over the years, he would probably not even touch the tea cup.
After taking the teacup, Kong Lao drank the tea in one sip as if he was drinking.
Ordinary good tea, in the way Kong Lao drinks tea, is definitely a waste.
But as Mr. Liu said, this tea is extraordinary.
Mr. Kong's pupils were obviously magnified a little, and then he said in amazement: "Hey, this tea is so fragrant. Why is it so comfortable to drink it? People feel much more energetic, just like... it's like drinking."
Usually, he feels that drinking tea is no different from drinking water, but this cup of tea is different.
How is it different? For people like Kong Lao who has no research on tea ceremony, it is naturally difficult to describe it in detail, and can only be described as drinking.
"Then do you want another drink?" Mr. Liu asked with a smile.
"How can one cup be enough? If you have another ten cups, isn't it a problem?" Mr. Kong was obviously interested in drinking. He didn't even want to drink a cup of tea, but at this moment he actually had ten cups of glass of tea.
Of course, Mr. Kong also understood the reason why the better the tea, the less it was. He didn't know that the problem was in this teapot. He thought that Mr. Liu got such a peerless tea from where.
On the side, Kong Chengxuan and Kong Chenglin brothers couldn't help but look at each other.
How could they not know what their old man has? What they didn’t expect was that the old man who was usually afraid of tea was changed at this moment and actually liked to drink tea.
This made the two brothers obviously curious about this tea, especially Kong Chengxuan. His personality is exactly the opposite of Kong Lao. He likes tea just like Kong Lao likes wine. Kong Chengxuan has a very deep study of tea ceremony.
Therefore, Kong Chengxuan is not only curious about this tea, but also very much looking forward to it.
"It's just ten cups, even ten pots are fine."
Mr. Liu responded very readily. In fact, the tea he used to make is not a very good tea at all, it is just an ordinary fragrant tea. Don’t mention ten pots, even if Mr. Kong wants to drink this tea as water, it will be fine.
Then, Mr. Liu said to everyone directly: "Everyone is free. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite."
With Mr. Liu's words, everyone raised their teacups.
"Good tea has a fragrance that is refreshing, and the aroma is not strong, and it is strong but not melted. Just by the fragrance of tea, you can be called the holy food in tea." Just after smelling the fragrance of tea, Kong Chengxuan couldn't help but exclaim.
Compared with the tea aroma of this tea, the special tribute tea leaves he had drunk before were almost so dull that it was no different from water. Kong Chengxuan was even hesitating whether to taste it. He was afraid that after drinking this tea, he would lose interest in other teas from then on.
Mr. Liu smiled mysteriously and said, "Cheng Xuan, I know you have a deep understanding of tea ceremony. Can you guess what kind of tea is my tea?"
"Old Liu, I can't guess."
Kong Chengxuan's answer was almost hesitant, or he could not guess at all.
This is the first time he has seen such a good tea.
The smile on Mr. Liu's face became stronger and he said directly to Qingshu: "Qingshu, come and tell Cheng Xuan what kind of tea these you just soaked."
"This is just an ordinary Dahongpao, the worst kind of tea leaves here in the old man." Qingshu introduced, and she also had a smile on her face.
Like Mr. Liu, she naturally knew the mystery.
In fact, it was precisely to prove this mystery that the worst kind of tea was produced. Of course, this was only relatively speaking. As Mr. Liu, the worst tea leaves here must be above the best outside.
"How is that possible."
Kong Chengxuan obviously didn't believe it. As he spoke, he picked up the tea pot on the table.
After opening the tea pot and using Kong Chengxuan to study the tea ceremony, we can naturally recognize what kind of tea these are from the tea leaves and the aroma. Yes, the tea pot is indeed Dahongpao, and it is just an ordinary variety in Tegong.
