Of course, Qin Sheng did not expect to see the iceberg beauty Fu Rong here. But compared to the previous few times they met, this iceberg beauty seemed to be more polite. She was not as distant as before. At least she knew how to smile. However, Qin Sheng did not see her junior brother. That guy was more interesting than Fu Rong. He was extremely handsome. If he dressed up a little, he would definitely be a great beauty who would amaze many men. He was estimated to be as beautiful as his senior sister.
"Long time no see. I didn't expect that we would meet here." Qin Sheng looked at Fu Rong and replied calmly. He was neither familiar nor distant with him. After all, Fu Rong had helped him with something big.
Fu Rong's smile was more like a forced one. But even if it was a forced smile, a beauty's smile was like a spring breeze. She said lightly, "Young Master Qin, I didn't expect this. I knew that we would meet again sooner or later."
"Oh, it seems that we will meet many times in the future." Qin Sheng said with interest.
Fu Rong did not continue to exchange pleasantries with Qin Sheng. After all, they were not that close. She stretched out her hand and said politely, "Young Master Qin, this way please. Grandpa is already waiting for you inside."
Hearing Fu Rong's words, Qin Sheng already had a guess in his heart. It turned out that the leader of the Guardian Families that he was going to meet today was Fu Rong's grandfather.
This courtyard house with the charm of a small bridge and flowing water in Jiangnan was about the same size as the Qin Family's courtyard house. But the location was much better than the Qin Family's courtyard house. Qin Sheng did not know where the Fu Family came from. They were so rich and overbearing.
This was obviously the Fu Family's private territory. Inside and outside, the Fu Family's bodyguards were guarding every exit. No strangers were allowed to enter or leave. But they did not stop the people that Qin Sheng brought with him.
However, Qin Sheng did not bring too many people with him. He only brought Chang Baji and Ugebach. The rest of the people waited in the courtyard outside. Qin Sheng still had this bit of courage. Moreover, there would not be any accidents this time.
After walking through the long corridor of the middle court, when they were about to reach the main house, another familiar person walked out. This familiar person was He Wei, whom Qin Sheng had muttered a few times just now. Compared to Fu Rong's forced smile, He Wei welcomed Qin Sheng directly and was prepared to give Qin Sheng a deep hug.
Naturally, he took a few steps back. Chang Baji stood in front of He Wei sensibly and blocked his way. His intention was very clear. Chang Baji stood in front of He Wei and stopped him. His intention was very clear.
However, He Wei was not angry, nor did he feel embarrassed. He just smiled and said, "Young Master Qin, what do you mean? We can be considered old friends, right?"
Qin Sheng waved his hand. After Chang Baji left, he took two steps forward and said, "I was wondering why I didn't see you. If there's a hibiscus, how could you not be there? "
At first, Qin Sheng thought that they were a couple. Later on, he found out that they were Senior Apprentice Brother and Junior Apprentice Brother. However, it was obvious that He Wei liked Fu Rong. Fu Rong should also know about it. However, Qin Sheng did not know what He Wei thought about it.
"Of course, of course," He Wei laughed and said. Then, he stepped aside and said, "Young Master Qin, this way please. I'll bring you over."
Qin Sheng did not know why, but he felt that these two were a little too enthusiastic today. It was totally different from the last few times he saw them. He could understand He Wei's character, but even Fu Rong smiled and took the initiative to chat with him. This was a little thought-provoking.
He Wei walked at the front, followed by Qin Sheng, Chang Baji, and the rest. Fu Rong was at the back of the group. Qin Sheng had seen too many antique styles in this courtyard house, so he did not feel surprised at all. He Wei only stopped when they reached the entrance of a side hall.
The side hall was more like a tea room. Outside, there was a beautiful lady playing the zither. Inside, there was someone drinking tea and listening to the zither. It was just that the person's appearance was covered by a curtain. Qin Sheng could not see his face at all. However, he could guess that he must be Fu Rong's grandfather.
He Wei smiled and said, "Young Master Qin, please come in. Grandfather has been waiting for a long time."
Fu Rong called him grandpa and He Wei also called him grandpa. Whose grandpa was this? Was this guardian family the He family or the Fu family? Qin Sheng was more or less confused. He decided not to think about these things anymore. After that, he went forward and lifted the bamboo curtain, walking in slowly.
Outside the side hall, He Wei looked at Chang Baji and the rest. He smiled and gestured for them to take a rest not far away. His meaning was very obvious. He did not want to disturb the big shots inside. Brother Wu and Ba He looked at Chang Baji and asked him for his opinion. Now that Qin Sheng was not around, they would listen to Chang Baji's opinion.
Chang Baji casually glanced at the side hall. He was very clear who Qin Sheng wanted to meet this time. So, he nodded slightly and finally left with the rest.
After Qin Sheng entered the side hall, he realized that it was very big. In the middle of the hall, there was a simple and unadorned yellow rosewood table. On top of it, there were four treasures of the study and other things. In the middle of the table, there were already a few words written on the Xuan paper. It seemed that the words were not finished, but Qin Sheng could not see what was written on it.
There were a few red sandalwood bookshelves around the side hall. Naturally, there were many antiques on them. However, some incomplete old books took up most of the space, making this side hall more cultured and not just pretentious.
Behind the yellow rosewood table, an old man dressed in black hemp clothes was looking out of the window with his back facing Qin Sheng. The scenery outside the window was also very good. There were lotus flowers and koi fish on the waterside pavilion. The old man casually threw the fish food in his hand into the water, instantly attracting a large group of koi fish. This scene was very spectacular.
"I heard that your handwriting has been passed down by Old Master Qin. What do you think of these words that I wrote?" The old man seemed to have heard the movement of Qin Sheng coming in. He slowly turned around and said. At the same time, he quietly looked at this young man who was no stranger to him.
The moment the old man turned around, Qin Sheng had already stared at this old man whom he had never met before. It seemed that this old man was not much different from most of the high-ranking people he had seen. Except that his hair was thicker than many people and his face had a few more wrinkles, this old man in front of him was just so-so. As for the so-called temperament and aura, Qin Sheng had seen too many of them, so it was not surprising at all.
"Old Fu, Old He?" Qin Sheng did not answer the old man's opening remarks and asked directly.
The old man could not help laughing. He did not expect Qin Sheng to be so stubborn. He replied, "Just call me Old He. What Old Fu, Old He? Why does it sound so awkward?"
"Just call me Old He," Qin Sheng insisted.
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Up to you."
At this time, Qin Sheng had already walked to the front of the desk. The old man continued to ask, "What do you think of these words?"
This time, it was Qin Sheng's turn to be speechless. He did not expect this old man to be so stubborn. He could only look down at the words on the desk. After thinking for a few seconds, he replied, "Not so good. It has form but no bones.
I've gone astray. "Upon hearing this, Old He immediately laughed and said," Hahahaha, interesting. Only you dare to say this. There are so many sanctimonious hypocrites in this world. "
Qin Sheng said disdainfully, "Old He, I'm not here to talk about this. Let's talk about something serious. It's time to talk about the matter between our two families."
After Old He sat down, he waved his hand. The beautiful woman in a cheongsam not far away immediately brought two cups of tea. Old He was not particular about the so-called good tea, nor did he like overly complicated procedures. He liked to directly brew the tea and drink it.
"Young man, what's the rush? What's the use of rushing?" Old He picked up the teacup and glanced at Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng sneered and said, "You may not be anxious, but our Qin family has already reached this stage. How can I not be anxious? Is the He family going to be as ungrateful as the Zheng family? "
"Ungrateful?" When Old He heard these words, his eyes were obviously displeased. He said, "I don't know what the Zheng Family you mentioned is, but our He Family doesn't have anything to do with them. If we really wanted to be ungrateful, our He Family wouldn't have taken the initiative to get involved in this. Before anything happened to the Qin Family, we were already part of the scheme. Don't you know that?" Old He's eyes were filled with displeasure.
Qin Sheng remained silent. It seemed that he was indeed a little impulsive just now. However, this was also to test the He family's attitude. Previously, the He family did that because the Qin family was not in trouble yet. Now that the Qin family was in trouble, he did not know what the He family's attitude was.
Hence, after Qin Sheng calmed down, he asked, "Oh, since Old He said so, what should the He family do next? I think you already know a lot of things, so I won't hide it anymore. The Qin family is already in danger. It's time for the He family to pay back what you owe the Qin family."
Old He did not look down on Qin Sheng. After he was sure that Qin Changxing would not come out of retirement, all the heavy responsibilities of the Qin family were on this young man's shoulders. Hence, all the decisions of this young man were not only related to the future of the Qin family, but also related to the future of the He family, because the two families were now in the same boat.
"Without Old Master Qin, the He family would not be where it is today. That's why I agreed to let the He family become the guardian family of the Qin family. From the beginning until now, our He family has been waiting for this opportunity, because I don't want to owe anyone anything in my life. It's just that your Qin family has always been so high and so far, so our He family did not have the chance. Now that the opportunity has come, our He family will pay back what we owe the Qin family," Old He looked at Qin Sheng and said firmly. Although what he said was somewhat unpleasant, and many He family members could not wait for something to happen to the Qin family, it had directly expressed the attitude of Old He and the He family.
After hearing this, Qin Sheng asked directly, "How do you want to pay back?"
"Go all out and do your best," Old He said slowly, "As long as the He family does not perish, we will definitely not let the Qin family down."
Hearing the last words of Old He, Qin Sheng was instantly shocked to the extreme. This was the real guardian family of the Qin family. No matter how big the storm was, they would live or die with the Qin family, and they would never be ungrateful. Compared to the He family, the so-called Zheng family was not worth mentioning at all.
When Qin Sheng looked at Old He again, he was suddenly full of respect for this old man. He stood up subconsciously and looked at the old man. Without hesitation, he bowed deeply and said, "The Qin family thanks you."
