Rebirth of a powerful marriage

Chapter 80: Now, we can start talking about business.

Three days after Sable sent Lu Zhaoqi's secret letter, he did receive a reply from the other party. Eden asked to meet with Lu Zhaoqi on Planet Gamma for a detailed discussion in a few days.

Planet Gamma is an independent small planet located between the Chinese-speaking Union and the Spanish-speaking Union, and politically belongs to the three-way zone.

Because the resources on the planet are scarce and even the air is very thin, no force would want to take Gamma Planet for its own use. Only some fugitive criminals and wandering interstellar pirates would use this place as a temporary residence. land.

Eden proposed to contact Lu Zhaoqi on the planet Gamma, presumably to prevent Lu Zhaoqi from setting a trap against him.

On the appointed day, Shen Qingyuan, the green fox who had been carefully disguised, arrived at Gamma planet by spaceship.

There is no sunlight or moonlight on Gamma Star, only bright white artificial lighting, and cold buildings made of metal materials.

Because the air on the planet is too thin, people can only breathe enough oxygen in a closed room. When they go outside, they must wear an oxygen mask, otherwise they will not even be able to carry out basic daily social activities.

When Shen Qingyuan got off the spaceship, he was followed by only two bodyguards wearing sunglasses, they were the same easy-going Sable and Cardinal.

The blue fox can change its voice as needed, but the sable and the cardinal don't have this skill, so they can't speak, and can only maintain a cold and silent image.

According to the address provided by Eden before, they found a teahouse located in a certain area of ​​influence on Planet Gamma.

Eden was obviously already prepared. Before they announced their names, a local waiter came up and asked, "Is this Mr. Lu Zhaoqi?"

"It's me." Shen Qingyuan replied.

"Follow me, please." The waiter said, turned and walked into the building.

Shen Qingyuan gave the two people behind him a wink, indicating that they had better not act rashly. Since Eden has chosen this teahouse, he must have set up an eyeliner nearby, and it may even be an ambush.

The waiter led the three of them into a tea room, and then quietly retreated out.

Shen Qingyuan glanced at the tea room, there was no one in the room, only a small coffee table in the center, and a set of tea ceremony utensils with exquisite workmanship.

The family of Lu Zhaoqi's mother respected tea culture very much, so Lu Zhaoqi was very proficient in tea ceremony since he was a child.

Shen Qingyuan soon understood the intention of Eden's arrangement. On the one hand, he was trying to test the authenticity of Lu Zhaoqi's identity, and on the other hand, he was also warning Lu Zhaoqi that he already knew Lu Zhaoqi's life experience well, so don't naively think that you can be in front of him. play tricks.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Shen Qingyuan's face, as if someone who loves tea ceremony found a bosom friend inadvertently, and sat down at the coffee table calmly.

Sable and Cardinal straddled behind him without looking sideways.

After a while, the door of the tea room was opened again, and a man in a large black robe and a metal mask walked slowly into the tea room.

Shen Qingyuan stood up and asked: "This is..."

"I'm Eden." The other party reported his name, and then said, "Mr. Lu, nice to meet you."

Shen Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the other party a few more times, always feeling that something was wrong.

Although they were in the same school as Eden in the early years, because of their different majors, they didn't have many opportunities to get in touch with each other on weekdays. They didn't get along with Eden day and night like Xu Zitai did, and they understood each other very thoroughly.

But Shen Qingyuan clearly remembered that Eden was a child with slender bones when he was a child, even if he grows up now, he should not be so big.

And the Eden in front of him, with a physique hidden under the black robe, was obviously taller and burlier than normal people, and he was a bit unnaturally burly.

Isn't this person Eden?Shen Qingyuan couldn't help guessing.

Since Eden went to the Spanish League, all the information has been a mystery, and few people have seen his true face.

However, according to Li Haisheng's description before, Eden likes to wear a mask and does not show his true colors to others, which fits very well.But because of this, it is even more difficult to judge the authenticity of Eden's identity.

Shen Qingyuan intentionally showed displeasure, and said, "Mr. Eden, it seems a bit inappropriate for you to do this?"

Eden tilted his head: "What's wrong?"

"I met you this time, but I came here with [-]% sincerity, but you wear a mask and don't show your true face. Are you still so guarded against me?"

Eden smiled: "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to show my true face, but I lost a face in an accident a few years ago, so this metal mask is my face."

Shen Qingyuan was startled, it turned out he was disfigured?Could his body have also been damaged in that accident?

Now that Eden has explained this point, he couldn't be more aggressive, so he smiled relievedly: "It seems that I was worrying too much, Mr. Eden, please forgive me."

Eden waved his hands indifferently, and the two sat down at the same time.

Eden looked at the tea set on the coffee table and said, "I heard that Mr. Lu has been proficient in tea ceremony since he was a child, and I am in the Spanish Union, so I am also very yearning for this tea culture. I wonder if Mr. Lu can demonstrate it for me?"

Shen Qingyuan thought to himself, indeed the point of the test came.

Fortunately, he has been in acting for more than ten years, and he has never played any kind of role or dabbled in any kind of profession. It just so happens that this tea ceremony is one of the special skills he has specially trained for filming.

At that moment, he smiled confidently, and said, "I'm showing my ugliness."

I saw that he first cleaned his hands gracefully in the water basin beside him, then took out the tea utensils, poured boiling water into the purple sand pot, fairness cup, smelling cup, and tea tasting cup, rinsed them one by one, and said: "This It's the first one, called 'hot pot and warm cup'."

Then, he slowly put the tea into the utensil, poured boiling water into the pot, let the water and the tea come in proper contact, then poured it out quickly, filtered out the unfried tea, and said: "This is the second way. , Wash the tea."

Then, he poured boiling water into the pot again, and during the pouring process, the spout "nods" three times, the so-called "three nods of the phoenix", to show respect to the guests, and said in his mouth: "This is the third way, brewing. "

He stopped when the tea overflowed the mouth of the pot, then brushed off the tea powder with the lid of the pot, removed the floating tea leaves, then closed the lid, poured boiling water all over the body of the pot again, and said: "This is the first Four ways, seal the pot."

Eden was a little fascinated and asked, "After sealing the pot, how long does it take to drink tea?"

"The purpose of sealing the pot is to preserve the aroma of the brewed tea in the teapot," Shen Qingyuan explained. "If it is sealed for a longer period of time, the tea will smell fragrant and refreshing, and at the same time, the tea will not burn your mouth so much."

Eden heard that he would have to wait for a while, so he stopped pressing and chatted with him.

"Mr. Lu, as far as I know, you are more versatile and ambitious than Lu Zhaoming. I don't understand why the suzerain of the Lu family is unwilling to leave the position of heir to you."

Shen Qingyuan sighed: "Mr. Eden grew up in the Spanish-speaking Alliance, so he probably doesn't know much about the traditional habits of our Chinese-speaking Alliance. For thousands of years, we have believed in our ancestors and paid attention to the inheritance of the eldest son. No matter what, he's the unquestionable heir—unless he dies."

Eden guessed that Lu Zhaoqi didn't know his Chinese identity, so he deliberately pretended to be ignorant of the Chinese-speaking alliance, shook his head and said, "This is not a good habit. The experience and wealth of the previous generation should naturally be given to the best of the next generation." Only those who inherit from the first generation will inherit it, so that it can be better carried forward. If we only pay attention to the succession of the eldest son, it will only lead to the decline of glory."

As he spoke, he seemed to recall some sad past, sighed, and continued: "I suddenly remembered my former teacher. On the other hand, we can be bolder, maybe... everything will not be what it is now."

Shen Qingyuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Eden would directly sigh that their teacher came.And judging by his tone, it seems that he is still brooding over the events of that year.

But if you think about it, if Eden is relieved, he won't kill Xu Zitai after the teacher was killed, and he won't hold on to Xu Zitai's "disciple" Zhuang Ning.

Although he said it in a very regretful manner, the resentment in his heart was unknown. Moreover, he was completely unaware of his own mistakes, but blindly blamed the teacher's "rigid and conservative".

At the moment, Shen Qingyuan felt that his inner emotions were agitated. At this time, he should not open his mouth to answer anything. He was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would expose his inner anger.

But in order not to be cold, he turned his attention to the teapot on the side, and said with a smile: "Let's put aside the heavy topic, the stage of sealing the pot is almost over."

I saw him put the smelling cup and the tea cup on the saucer with a tea tong, and then gently poured the tea in the pot into the justice cup.

Eden asked, "What's this dish called?"

"This one is back to the pot."

Shen Qingyuan poured the tea soup into the Wenxiang cup again, filled it to seventy percent full, and said: "This one is called the pot."

After that, he handed the cup to Eden with both hands, and said with a smile, "Please have some tea."

Eden took the cup, sniffed the lingering fragrance in the cup, clicked his tongue in admiration twice, then took the tea cup with three fingers, and sipped slowly in three sips.

Shen Qingyuan looked at his tea-tasting procedure which was as rigorous as his own, couldn't help but twitched his brows, but said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that Mr. Eden also has a deep research on the tea ceremony, it seems that my class has played tricks."

Eden smiled complacently: "Sorry, I still had doubts about Mr. Lu's identity before. It was because I was too cautious. I hope Mr. Lu will forgive me. But after tasting this tea, I also tasted Mr. Lu's sincerity in cooperating with me, now, we can start discussing business matters."

At this moment, Xu Zitai, who was sitting in the spaceship, heard the above conversation through the bug on Shen Qingyuan's body, his dignified expression relaxed slightly, and he muttered to himself: "This guy finally took the bait."
