Nongben is passionate

Camphor trees are planted all over Biyun Temple, and the green and dense branches and leaves open up patches of shade. When people walk under them, there is a bit of quietness and silence isolated from the world—not Sunday, nor the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. There are very few people, people walking on the flat road paved with bluestone, and the sound of chattering footsteps can be heard——

"Walking all over China's large and small temples, famous and unknown, all planted ancient trees to create a peaceful and indifferent atmosphere far away from the world. I once went to a small temple by accident, but I can't remember the name. There are no camphor trees or ginkgoes in the yard, but a row of orange trees. It’s autumn, and the oranges are full of yellow and orange. It’s really pleasing to see, but it’s in line with the theory of cause and effect in Buddhism—— —”

Although Feng Xueyi wore a string of white sandalwood bracelets all year round, Xie Xuan didn't know that he was actually a Buddhist. Such a flashy life and the bleakness of the ancient Buddha's blue lamp are two extremes, but looking at the people around him Feng Xueyi has a subdued temperament in the fine light and shadow, his eyes are slightly tired, and his expression is peaceful. He has the two attitudes properly.

His gesture of worshiping the Buddha is extremely professional and pious, time seems to be frozen in an instant, the sun shines in through the wide open red wooden door, dust dances in the air, it is extremely quiet and beautiful.

Then, Feng Xueyi flipped his fists with both hands, opened his palms, put his palms down on the ground, moved his head away from the prayer mat, moved his right hand back to the center of the prayer mat, raised his left palm back to his chest, propped his body up with his right palm on the ground, stood up straight, and put his hands together stand upright.

Turning around and seeing Xie Xuan standing aside, Feng Xueyi said: "After entering the Buddhist gate, why don't you worship Buddha?"

Xie Xuan looked at Baoxiang's majestic Buddha statue indifferently, and said, "If your heart is not sincere, what's the use of worshiping?"

Feng Xueyi's mouth curled into a slight smile, "You don't believe in Buddhism?"

"Do not believe."

"I believe you will be happier." Feng Xueyi tidied his cuffs slowly, while walking outside the Buddhist hall, "You should look like Liu Ruoying's pilgrimage in "A World Without Thieves", it will make people cry, it is so beautiful, too With compassion, you will believe that there are past and present lives—the peace talisman here is very effective, why don’t you ask for one?”

Xie Xuan took a step behind, and saw a shiny golden Fang Xiaoxi next to the worship mat, picked it up and saw it was an old pocket watch, probably left behind by Feng Xueyi, and just as he was about to call him, Feng Xueyi had already left it. The Buddha Hall turned around and disappeared——

Xie Xuan conveniently opened the pocket watch, and a brisk music sounded, but it turned out to be a music box with a small frame of old photos inside - the young girl inside had an elegant face, full of the deep charm of old oil paintings, Her complexion was clear, and her continuous smile brightened the sweet ripples at the corner of her mouth——

Xie Xuan closed the cover of the watch and stepped out of the threshold. The sun outside was blazing and full of yang energy. Feng Xueyi had already walked to the ancient camphor next to the Buddhist hall - there was a bamboo table, two bamboo chairs, and a whole set of tea making The tools are specially prepared for them in the temple.

"Honestly speaking, the current situation is really not good. The top is very turbulent, and the sky may change at any time. Liu Jinping died in Malaysia. Some people said that Malaysians did it. It was Liu Weifang who wanted to seize power and killed his father. There were different opinions and panic. The Liu family has a deep foundation, and all those involved with him closed their doors and kept a low profile. Although Liu Weifang inherited Liu Jinping's position, he has no such ability at all. , the subordinates are making a lot of trouble, and there are also some who took the opportunity to set up their own houses. The forces from other provinces have intervened, and the Liu family is not as good as before——Wuhe is really not at peace. At this time, you want to start the "Beautiful Island" project, it is really risky—"

Seeing Xie Xuan approaching, Feng Xueyi turned his head and said to him.

Xie Xuan didn't take it seriously, "I always seek wealth and danger. In this society, the timid will be starved to death, and the bold will be overwhelmed. The more chaotic the situation, the better it is to fish in troubled waters and make a big deal."

Feng Xueyi looked at Xie Xuan with some surprise, "You are a bit different, but," he laughed, his eyes gleamed brightly, "I have been submerged for many years, and once I explode, I will enter the world, and I will turn over if I retreat. No results, such a big adventure is really exciting, I can't help but be excited, life is really fun—”

On the way back, Xie Xuan asked Feng Xueyi to beg for a safety talisman. Feng Xueyi looked over his head and immediately smiled ambiguously, "Born in July? How did I remember that your birthday was in September—— "

Xie Xuan put the peace talisman in, and squinted at him, "You know it?"

Feng Xueyi couldn't see Xie Xuan's serious look, the more serious he was, the less serious Feng Xueyi would be, "That's natural, you don't know that I've been tossing and turning for you, have you been convincing?" He leaned closer to Xie Xuan In his ear, the warm breath sprayed wetly on his skin, and he said in a low and seductive voice, "Why don't we do it once?"

Usually at this time Xie Xuan always ignores the past, but this time, Xie Xuan squinted at the past with a smile that was not a smile, "I can do it, I can only fuck you."

Feng Xueyi was stunned, Xie Xuan had already walked to the door, turned around and looked at him leisurely——

Feng Xueyi was Feng Xueyi, his expression didn't change after he was stunned, he walked over suavely, "It doesn't matter, then go to my place?"

Xie Xuan didn't say anything, just waited for Feng Xueyi to approach, and handed him the pocket watch and music box, "You lost Fang's novel."

Feng Xueyi's eyes deepened, and the frivolous expression disappeared from his face, and he took it after a while, stroked the surface with his thumb, "Have you seen it?

Xie Xuan's expression remained unchanged, "It's beautiful."

Feng Xueyi smiled, very lightly, very lightly, "That's my sister—"

Xie Xuan was noncommittal—the outside world had different speculations about Feng Xueyi, but they all said that he was an only child, but I hadn't heard that he had an older sister.

Feng Xueyi put the pocket watch music box into his arms, and motioned for Xie Xuan to go together, "I haven't seen her since I was 15 years old. She turned out to be the apple of the eye of our entire Feng family. The whole family loves her the most. I have to step aside." Standing, in my impression, she has a very good personality and talent. She graduated from Nottingham University and is skilled in Chinese and oil paintings. When she left home, she didn’t even bring her ID card, passport, or certificate. The old man hurts It really hurts, and it's really ruthless when it's ruthless, and I didn't mention her until she passed away—"

His tone was light, as if he was talking about something completely unrelated to him.

The "Beautiful Island" project was his idea during the years when he was studying in the UK. After several years of continuous investigation and improvement, it has formed a huge comprehensive project. According to his plan, it will take ten years to complete this project. It needs a steady stream of capital investment, but the difficulty of this plan is not the huge amount of money, because it takes too long, the policy changes above, and the leadership change are very likely to lead to the failure of this plan.

"Beautiful Island" is a small isolated island about [-] kilometers away from the coastline of Wuhe. Most of the island still maintains the original ecological natural landscape. Except for the fishermen who have lived here for generations, there are almost no outsiders on the island. Only photographers occasionally visit Enter the island to collect wind.

The territory of Wuhe, in terms of economy, is by no means comparable to Shanghai, and in terms of political status, it is far away from the capital. However, there are many big bosses who have retired from the military and political circles here, with deep backgrounds, and even several families have been entrenched for generations. Here, the mountains and dews are not visible on weekdays, but at critical moments, the whole of China can be shaken three times.Therefore, it is basically impossible to carry out economic construction here.Xie Xuan's move is very risky, but the prospect is also very promising.

Xie Xuan knew that it was unrealistic to ask Mrs. Xie to agree to this plan. It was impossible for the Xie family to put all their funds into this bottomless pit. Xie Xuan's plan was to cooperate with the government.

The light and shadows in the study room were dim, and Mrs. Xie’s eyes were deep and solemn. After a long time, he put Xie Xuan’s plan aside and said slowly, “The Xie family started from the first humble processing factory, and now it has reached this scale. Never done a government project."

Xie Xuan explained, "It's not a government project. This project belongs to the Xie family. They just set aside a part of it to cooperate with the government and use their name to open the way. Grandpa, the mainland is different from Hong Kong. In China, the projects that the government participates in are all It’s a steady profit, not to mention, the later projects are the most important.”

Mrs. Xie pondered for a long time before saying: "This is not a trivial matter, and it is bound to be reported to the higher levels. The upper level is very chaotic now. It is hard to say whether anyone will pay attention to this matter."

"It is precisely because there are so many rumors that the government wants to divert the public's attention. I think this is a good opportunity."

The old man Xie shook his head, "Let me think about it again." After a pause, the old man changed the subject, "The weather outside is nice, we haven't taken a walk together for a long time——"

Although Xie Xuan was a little disappointed, she also knew that it was impossible to decide this matter all at once.

It is already the end of summer, the autumn wind is picking up, the flowers and trees are faint, and the mountain roads are faint.

Xie Xuan held Mr. Xie's arm and walked slowly on Deqing Road. At this time, the old man was not like a bigwig in the business world, but just like an old man in his twilight years. "When I left home, I was only 19 years old. Whose family I'm not rich. On the night I left, your wife (referring to Mr. Xie's mother) cobbled together and borrowed a pound and a half of flour from the neighbors, and made me more than [-] Ai Qing dumplings overnight, secretly wiping away tears while doing it. In a blink of an eye, I have eaten so many delicacies from mountains and seas for so many years. What I miss the most is the taste of Ai Qingtuanzi. It is cold, hard, and the fragrance is gone, but I still want to eat—"

Xie Xuan knew that the old man didn't need his response, he just wanted to express his emotions - sure enough, soon, the old man let go of those sad emotions, "Grandpa, in his life, from a poor boy with nothing to now with everything There are three listed companies with thousands of employees. They think that they have all the ups and downs that life should have. At this age, everything is ignored. It's just that such a big family business is not expected for generations to come. Can't wait for my legs to stretch out and eyes to close--"

Xie Xuan was taken aback. He didn't expect the old man to suddenly mention these things. He and Xie Hui and Xie Mingyu were fighting openly and secretly. The old man was not clear, but he never opened his mouth to make it clear. What does it mean to suddenly say these things now?

Mrs. Xie suddenly changed the subject, "How do you think Mingyu is doing?"

Xie Xuan was taken aback again, not understanding what the old man meant by his question.

"Before he admitted his mistake to me, saying that he liked men were all lies, he just felt bored, he just got dizzy and hysterical, and he will not do this again in the future - do you believe this?"

Xie Xuan's heart constricted for a moment, before he could answer, Mr. Xie had already continued talking on his own——

"I don't believe it—I know what kind of temper Mingyu is. If he was really playing around, he would never stab the family. I'm afraid those words are all true—"

Xie Xuan opened his mouth, "Grandpa—"

Mrs. Xie sighed, and suddenly seemed to have aged several years, "I understand this kind of thing, it's innate, and it can't be reversed by being ruthless. Before, I knew a Mr. Zheng who liked to collect Tibetan bronzes. He is almost an expert, and he doesn’t go out easily on weekdays, and he doesn’t have much contact with people. He heard that he used to have a student, and then the plane that the student was on had an accident. Mr. Zheng was so sad that he could hardly survive, and then he lived alone. In the mid-level villa in Hong Kong, the name of the villa was changed to "Wuyanlou". I didn’t marry either, we heard about the infinite sigh at that time—”

Xie Xuan's throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't speak.

Mrs. Xie sighed again, and frowned, "This kind of thing can't be put out in public after all. I can never count on your third uncle. Just watch, Mingyu's temper, I will definitely be sure in the future." My son turned the world upside down. If I'm not here, who can protect him?"

"I'm protecting him—" When he said these words, even he was slightly surprised, but after the shock, he was as calm and calm as the dust had settled.

Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Xuan with heavy eyes and a little scrutiny. After a long while, she finally retracted her eyes in relief, "San'er, grandpa is very happy when you say that. No matter how big the conflicts are, you are always brothers. Grandpa always looks forward to seeing you." Hello to you."

"I know."
