Chapter 115: Xiao Gai (1)
When he entered the living room, he saw a young man with his legs crossed. A version of Ge You from another world was lying on a large bed. The small coffee table beside the couch was filled with exquisite melon fruits, snacks, and tea. There were four beautiful little servants waiting on him at the side. This posture, this style, he was like a free and unfettered Prince. Tang Wen was stunned for a moment. ‘This guy isn’t old. He looks like he’s only 27 or 28 years old.’ However, Xiao Gai was also stunned as he looked at Tang Wen. “Hello, my Lord.” Tang Wen greeted him. “Haha, you’re younger than me, and you’re a first – rank Earl. This is fun.” Xiao Gai smiled and pointed to the other side of the bed.”Come, come, come. Let’s eat together.” Tang Wen smiled and nodded. He sat down on the couch, while Luo Yiwu and Gu hanyan stood behind him and waited on him. “Count Tang, why do you like this? it’s completely different from mine.” Xiao Gai glanced at Gu hanyan and smiled. “Which one do you like?” Tang Wen looked at him with a dazed expression. “Look at my girls. They’re not shy, but they’re still very beautiful.” Xiao Gai said smugly. “Oh, my girl, Gu Hanyan. She’s just an old mother.” Tang Wen glanced at Gu hanyan on purpose and laughed. Gu hanyan’s face twisted in anger. “You grew up drinking her milk. A nanny, right?” Xiao Gai blurted out in surprise. Tang Wen almost spat out the tea in his mouth, and Luo Yiwu, who was beside him, felt extremely uncomfortable. “I’m not his nanny. I’m his personal servant girl. ” Gu hanyan huffed. “See, I told you, count Tang has different preferences from me.” Xiao Gai laughed. “You mean I like old and ugly ones?” Tang Wen asked with a smile. “Could it be that your girl is considered pretty? To be honest, some people are still charming even though they’re old, but your girl ... Forget it, let’s not talk about it. Let’s Drink Tea. ” Xiao Gai waved his hand. “Hehe, I’m sorry.” Tang Wen said, infuriating Gu Hanyan. “Is there anything I can help you with, Lord Jue?” Xiao Gai asked. “I can tell at a glance that you are a person who likes to play, Sir Jue.” Tang Wen didn’t answer directly, but smiled. “Life is short, but it’s free and easy.” As Xiao Gai spoke, he took the Golden stick from the servant girl, took a puff, and returned it to her. Seeing Tang Wen looking at him, he couldn’t help but smile.”Sir Tang, do you smoke too?” “I’ll slap!” Tang Wen nodded. “Prepare a rod for Lord Jue,” Xiao Gai said. “No, I won ‘t.” Tang Wen shook his head. “What, you don’t like the tobacco leaves of my Xiao family? Those are all high – Quality tobacco leaves that can’t even be bought in shops. ” Xiao Gai’s face tightened, and he was a little unhappy. “I have my own, I’m not looking down on you.” As Tang Wen said this, he took out a large front door, took out one, and lit it with a gold – plated lighter. Xiao Gai was stunned. He glared at Tang Wen and asked,”what are you smoking?” How come I’ve never seen him before?” “It’s from the West. It’s a high – Quality cigarette. It’s much better than the local cigarettes produced in Chu State.” Tang Wen blew out a smoke ring, and the smell of essence immediately spread over. Xiao Gai couldn’t help but sniffle and swallow. “Why don’t you try one too?” Knowing that this guy had taken the bait, Tang Wen flicked his cigarette. “Let’s try it. ” Xiao Gai said. Tang Wen took one out and handed it to him. He mimicked Tang Wen and put it in his mouth, then looked at the lighter. “It’s already on fire. ” Crack! Tang Wen demonstrated. “I’ll do it, I’ll do it,” Xiao Gai was overjoyed. He took the lighter and began to play with it. “Hahaha, good, good! You can light it up like this? are you from the West?” “Yes.” Tang Wen nodded. “Yours is more convenient, the smoke is more fragrant, and it doesn’t choke.” Xiao Gai said. “The key is that it’s convenient to carry around. You can take it out of your pocket at any time and light it up. It’s so uncomfortable to breathe clouds and smoke. ” As Tang Wen spoke, he blew out a few more rings of smoke, which Xiao Gai looked at with a fascinated expression. He also tried, but smoke rings required frequent practice, and he couldn’t spit them out in a short time. “Nice to meet you, Sir Jue. I’ll give you this lighter and cigarette.” Tang Wen took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, put them on the table, and pushed them over. “Someone, pack up the exquisite desserts I brought back from sea Saint City and give them to Lord Tang.” Of course, Xiao Gai wouldn’t take your things for free, so he immediately shouted at the servants. “I’ve tasted all your desserts. They’re not bad. “But ...” Tang Wen looked at the desserts on the table and deliberately showed a trace of disdain. “These desserts are all transported back from ocean Saint restaurant. Don’t they suit your taste?” Xiao Gai asked with a smug expression. “Hanyan, bring our desserts up for Lord Jue to try.” Tang Wen said. “Old master, about that matter ...” Seeing that Tang Wen had been chatting with Xiao Gai, Luo Yiwu couldn’t take it anymore. He thought that old master had forgotten about the important matter, so he quickly reminded him. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Let’s eat some snacks first. ” Tang Wen waved his hand. Not long after, Gu hanyan came back with a tray of desserts. There were canned food, snacks, dried fish, lamb, beef jerky, braised chicken feet, pig trotters with soy sauce, and so on. “Don’t these need to be cooked?” Xiao Gai asked. “No need, you can eat it directly after you open it.” As Tang Wen spoke, Gu hanyan opened the can and tore open the packaging ... Xiao Gai picked up a piece with his ivory chopsticks, and his eyes lit up. After that, he tasted something else. Then, he simply picked up the Trotter and gnawed on it without any manners. “It’s not enough to have snacks without wine. ” Tang Wen said. “Come, bring out the 10 – year nu ‘er Hong.” Xiao Gai shouted again. “Just drink mine,” Tang Wen said as Luo Yiwu walked up the stage. They opened the bottle of wine and a bottle of champagne ... “Good, good, good. This one’s not bad ...” Other than drinking, the two of them did nothing else. When they returned, Luo Yiwu could not help but say,”old master, why aren’t you talking about proper business? they’re still waiting to start work over there.” Although the great ebb lasted for a few months before, no one could guarantee that it would last for a few months this time. If it’s brought forward, wouldn’t the bridge pier be ruined before it’s done?” “Lord Xiao Gai is different. He has money, and if we use silver to buy it, he doesn’t lack that bit of silver. What’s the point if we spend a few million taels of silver to buy a deserted island?” Tang Wen said. “I’ve asked around about this person, and he’s quite a troublesome one. This person loved to eat, drink, and play. It was said that he had some small literary talents and had earned the title of ‘Jiang Zhou’s four greats’ in the provincial capital. He doesn’t lack money, and Holy Turtle Island is the Xiao family’s ancestral property. They would rather leave it in desolation than sell it. ” Luo Yiwu nodded and said. “Since we can’t take it down, then let’s just forget it. That broken island is useless anyway. If we want to develop it, we might need to spend another few million taels of silver. It’s such a pity. ” Li Quan said. “Li Quan, there are some things you won’t understand, but you’ll understand in the future! If they could take down Holy Turtle Island, su Mei, Holy turtle and white Tiger Island would look out for each other. Even if we encounter a large group of Pirates, we still have room to retreat. If there’s only SuMei Island, once the sumei bridge is destroyed, we’ll be isolated. Moreover, with more islands, there will be more troops stationed in the future, and our strength will also be stronger. Therefore, we must take him down. ” Tang Wen said. Of course, it was useless to tell them some long – term plans. That was because their eyes were still set on food and clothing. Why would they talk about spiritual enjoyment with him? people would think that you were bullshitting if you talked about the happiness of the people. It was troublesome to explain, so he might as well not say anything. “That’s true, but they don’t lack money. Are you not going to sell it?” Li Quan nodded.
