Chapter 14

Housekeeper Qin took the emerald and walked away. At the same time, he also left some words of master Tang. A paragraph of words was nothing more than "going to the Tang family after returning to Kyoto". Tang Jingyun also forgot after listening to it. Who has time to entangle with those hungry wolves in this life!

Tang Jingyun sent away the Giant Buddha, lying on her back on the sofa and took a deep breath. She felt really good. Even the air felt a lot cleaner. It felt like endless trouble to face that big family after returning to Kyoto to study.

In her previous life, she had an ambition. She was unwilling to be ridiculed as a little illegitimate daughter. She had few resources to contact. She had no choice but to step on the power of the Tang family. But this life is different. When her horizons are wide, the channels are wide. She no longer needs to compete for those things, because she is confident that she can get what she wants with her own hands. Not to mention that he has another chip now, that is the power of perspective.

Tang Jingyun felt that she should do something to be happy. Her life was finally going to start in a different direction from her previous life. Looking around her house, she suddenly felt a little pity. If Jiang Ye was there, she could sit at a table, and then have a few drinks with him to talk about life and the moon.

Simply went out to buy a la carte, went home to fry three small fry, took out the prepared distiller's grains and chicken feet from the refrigerator, put them in a heat preservation box, took the not very good wine bought from the store, went out of the door and went straight to Lao Cui.

Lao Cui is not far from her home. It's two days away from the street and comes through a remote alley. It's still very cold. The old signboard leans sideways. She pushes open the half closed door with something and sees Lao Cui placing dishes on the table. She is stunned and says, "girl Tang, why are you here?"

Tang Jingyun waved the insulation box in her hand, "it's too cold at home. I'll come to you for a drink."

"He's gone?" old Cui asked with some meaning.

Tang Jingyun shook her head, "I'm not sure." he did go. Although they had an oral agreement, she was not sure whether he would come back, because no one was sure about some things.

Lao Cui didn't ask anything. He always felt that there seemed to be something similar between girl Tang and the man. At that time, when girl Tang took him home, he knew it. There was some speculation. Now, looking at her look, it seemed clear in her heart. He cheerfully called out, "come on, sit down, I'll prepare dishes and chopsticks for you, and let's have a good meal."

Tang Jingyun took over the dishes and chopsticks, put the fried chicken feet and lees one by one, skillfully opened the bottle of wine and poured a cup for both of them, "come on, Lao Cui, let's have a good drink today. It's so boring and oppressive these days."

"You little girl, you're very old-fashioned and make it look like you've read thousands of sails." although that's said, Lao Cui can actually feel that the girl has changed. There are some things buried in her eyes. She must have experienced something in the year in Kyoto, which makes time seem to flow faster on her than others and ripen her early.

The two talked about the changes over the years. Lao Cui's words were filled with emotion, "you little girl, who was small and thin at the beginning, always fought with small gangsters in the street. I didn't expect it to be so big in the blink of an eye."

Tang Jingyun smiled and didn't speak. At that time, she was like a wild child. Except for going home for a meal every day, she never liked to stay at home. The home was cold and the only grandmother went out to set up a stall.

Sometimes she herself is very strange. Obviously, she doesn't study hard like other people. Why can she get so good grades? She has become a student loved and hated by teachers in her class. Her grades have always been one of the best, but the scars on her face have never been broken.

It didn't stop until after high school. Later, during the college entrance examination, she was admitted to one of the most difficult universities in the country - Yanda, which is far away from Yinlin city. Only then did she maintain a good image.

"Lao Cui, are you there?"

A low male voice interrupted the conversation between Tang Jingyun and Lao Cui. A man about the same age as Lao Cui pushed open the open door and raised his voice before approaching.

Tang Jingyun thought the voice was familiar. She turned her head and looked surprised in her eyes, "brother Xiang!"

It's Chen Zhaoxiang!

Chen Zhaoxiang looked at the girl who was talking and laughing and drinking with her friends in surprise. It was Tang Jingyun! Then he opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Miss Tang, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"Zhaoxiang, you know Tang girl. I want to introduce you." Lao Cui said with a smile.

Chen Zhaoxiang returned to his senses with a smile on his face. He was no longer arrogant. "I met with Lord Zhu a few days ago. Miss Tang is a guest of Lord Zhu!"

Tang Jingyun smiled modestly, "where can't compare with brother Xiang, you proud successor of Master Zhu."

All three of them were laughing and carrying people in sedan chairs. She still had enough to deal with these social occasions.

Looking at the posture, Tang Jingyun knew that Lao Cui and Chen Zhaoxiang had a lot of friends, but she didn't know how a low-key wild doctor, a high-ranking successor valued by Zhu, came into contact.

Chen Zhaoxiang freely went in and took a pair of dishes and chopsticks. Tang Jingyun filled him with, "brother Xiang, it's really fate!"

"Ha ha, it's really fate, Miss Tang!" Chen Zhaoxiang smiled brightly. At this time, he was no longer cautious and respectful around Master Zhu, and seemed very forthright.

"In that case, don't call me Miss Tang so unfamiliar. Just call me girl Tang or Jingyun." Tang Jingyun smiled and raised his glass. "A toast to brother Xiang."

Chen Zhaoxiang also laughed. "OK!" clinked a glass with Tang Jingyun and took a drink respectively. He thought the little girl was really interesting. Today's conversation between her and that day in front of Zhu was based on evidence and different. She had a bit of Jianghu atmosphere, which made people feel friendly.

The three drank wine and ate the dishes brought by Tang Jingyun. They were full of praise. Such a scene seems to be no different from that of the two people just now. It's a bit more lively unexpectedly.

"... it's difficult now. All kinds of business are difficult to do. The state has banned many of these things, and many things have been hit hard." brother Xiang sighed and sighed with rare emotion.

"It's inevitable," Tang Jingyun sipped the wine. The spicy taste stimulated her taste buds and narrowed her eyes, "The country has cracked down hard several times, and this trend is very threatening. In my opinion, the heyday of the gangs and even the underworld has passed and is about to usher in a time of decline. If you don't change it in time and find a new way out, I'm afraid you'll either go to jail or starve to death in the street."

"Oh? Where does Jingyun think the way out?" Chen Zhaoxiang asked with great interest. He saw a wise light on the girl, which can be called foresight. Her narrowed Phoenix eyes were a little unspeakable.

"Bleach!" Tang Jingyun said loudly, "only bleach can change the darkness from invisible funds to capital that can be displayed in the sun, gradually take off the cloak of the underworld and take on the title of successful entrepreneur, so that we can continue to survive in the new era. Even if we are inextricably connected with the underworld, we must look good!"

Chen Zhaoxiang's expression gradually became cautious from the beginning. After listening to her, he raised his glass. "Listening to Jingyun's words is better than reading for ten years! I respect you, brother Xiang!" after that, he looked up and drank it.

Tang Jingyun raised the glass in her hand and drank it in one gulp. Her movements were elegant and forthright.

Chen Zhaoxiang laughed. The girl was angry with him. No wonder she was able to talk and laugh with such an eccentric person as Lao Cui. She was really a rare wonderful person.

"OK, OK, you two drink slowly, really when the 56 degree Baijiu is boiling water to pour down!" Lao Cui blocked two people to speak, watching slightly excited Chen Zhaoxiang, feel funny, this man is usually calm and fearful, now rarely have such a feeling of appearance.

The three continued to drink, and the atmosphere was particularly good.

Many years later, whenever Chen Zhaoxiang thought of this conversation, he couldn't help feeling glad that he went to Lao Cui on a whim that day and started a conversation that changed his life.

When asked about the woman who has stood high in the public's esteem, he will sigh with emotion and smile without saying anything. Not everyone can figure out that person. There are gullies in her heart. Tang Jingyun is indeed a great woman. If she had been born more than ten years earlier, the top chair of the underground world might have to be replaced by someone else, and she was born in this era of rising wind and water, So she created her own myth.

At this time, Tang Jingyun is just a quiet and nameless young girl who has just turned 20. Even she is carrying a disgraceful background. Who can predict her future achievements!

The three had a good drink. Tang Jingyun's drinking capacity was far from that of her previous life. She felt a little tired and found a room to sleep in Lao Cui.

When she woke up, Lao Cui was listening to the chirping songs on the radio. She told him and went out. The sun outside was hot in the afternoon, slightly declining. The pedestrians on the street were in twos and threes. She went straight to a bookstore in the center of the city, read a lot of books, and silently planned her future plans. When she went out , she was close to the closing of the bookstore. She clearly heard the whispering voice of the bookstore owner behind her, "I've been blind for a long time because I didn't buy one!"

Tang Jingyun touched her nose. It seems that she has to change a bookstore next time. Looking at the dark road, she raised her feet and walked back.

When I got home and opened the door, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be a figure sitting on the sofa under the moonlight. I was so cold in my heart that I whispered, "who?!"
