mindless

Lin'an City, Qiantang Province, Guanfu Villa, the residence of Wensheng, just fell into the night.

An old man in a double-breasted jacket, flip-flops on his feet, and a palm leaf fan in his hand was standing outside the gate of Guanfu Villa, looking left and right.

Occasionally, some passers-by looked at the old man and whispered with some disgust in their eyes: "Look at that old man, he is dressed in such dirt, and he is still standing at the gate of other people's yard."

"Yeah, maybe he's lost or a beggar?"

"I'm afraid it's an senile dementia, hurry up, it's night, the lighting is not good, don't blackmail us later"

The old man didn't pay any attention to these gossips, but looked at the courtyard with such a large area in the urban area of ​​Lin'an City, with a little envy in his eyes, and said to himself: "Enjoy or you will enjoy such a big villa."

Then the old man raised his hand, intending to push the door directly and go in, as if he knew that the door would not be locked, he moved very freely and his eyes were very confident.

And as the old man expected, the door was not locked, and it was pushed open very easily.

The old man stepped in and was greeted by a butler, a middle-aged man with a standard commercial smirk and two mustaches on his lips.

"Mr. Xia Ding, welcome."

The old man is one of China's top ten most spiritual beings, Wu Sheng Xia Ding!

Xia Ding glanced at the butler, smiled back, and did not reply.

The butler closed the door, locked it, and led Xia Ding to walk in the yard, passing a small path on a pond, and came outside a room.

The door was still ajar, the housekeeper bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Master is waiting for you inside, please come in."

Xia Ding nodded, and pushed the door in. Wen Sheng Cha Xin was standing by the window, with his hands behind his back, looking at the garden in the backyard.

Seeing Cha Xin, Xia Ding laughed and said, "Hahahaha, old Chatou, you seem to have lost weight."

Cha Xin itself has a single appearance. When Bai Shaoping saw him before, he still had some fat on his stomach. Now it seems to be a little less, but he still has the appearance of a rich old man.

"Recently, I have a lot of things to think about, so I'm naturally a little haggard. It's not like your old Xia, who is so chic, obsessed with the fields, leisurely, and likes to watch videos when he has nothing to do."

When Cha Xin spoke, she didn't turn around, she didn't tilt her head, but she was still concentrating on looking at something in the backyard garden through the window.

Xia Ding blushed, walked to the teacher's chair where Cha Xin usually sits and writes, and said with a light smile, "I watch the video to strengthen my body, and I am obsessed with the fields to get down to earth. It doesn't look like your yard, where there is a little smoke and fire." None, just a robot butler, who has been watching the door for more than ten years, hey, speaking of it, the last time I saw this butler, it seems that he doesn’t have those two beards, you just added it?”

Cha Xin still looked ahead, and said slowly: "Adding a beard is to make him look more like a real person, otherwise every time I look in the mirror, I will see myself getting older, but he hasn't changed at all, I'm afraid I can't bear it." Ask the apprentice to dismantle it for him."

Xia Ding hilariously laughed loudly: "Ahahaha, why are you so narrow-minded? This housekeeper, have you optimized it with your apprentice? I remember that he walks very rigidly, and he can be seen as a robot at a glance. Now there is The ups and downs, the priorities, are indeed very much like a real person."

Speaking of this, Xia Ding's eyes became a little sad, and he said in a low voice: "In this world, I am the only one who knows, this housekeeper, you made it like your grandfather's housekeeper when you were young, right?"

Cha Xin was silent for a moment, and sighed earnestly: "It's all about the period of the Republic of China! In the blink of an eye, it's now now. Look at the bright moon in the sky, which has illuminated the ancients and the present. Would she also be thinking about it? Not ancient, but always miss the old people from the past?"

Xia Ding's eyebrows also became serious, he knew what Cha Xin meant, it seemed that he was missing his grandfather's housekeeper when he was a child, but in fact, he was referring to his apprentice who fell into the path of peace.

And he also has such a similar apprentice.

Xia Ding took out a scroll from the pocket of his jacket, opened it and spread it on the desk, looked at the poem on it, and asked, "Is this the place where the poem was written? Also here, for Bai Shaoping?"

"Yes." Cha Xin said lightly.

"Then I'll put it here. I've met him, and the other two are very good." Xia Ding put down the poem and pressed it with an inkstone.

Cha Xin still looked out of the window, and said softly: "I have only met him, but I know his friend when I see him, he must be extraordinary."

Xia Ding leaned on the back of the Grand Master's chair, rubbed his back, and said slightly complaining: "I said I have been here for so long, why don't you make tea? I still want to come to you to have a good cup of tea. "

Cha Xin said slowly: "It's better to stand and watch the scenery than to sit quietly and drink tea."

"Looking at the scenery?" Xia Ding looked a little puzzled, stood up and walked towards Chaxin, and said as he walked, "I want to see what's good about your broken garden, and I've been watching you staring inside since I came in. "

Xia Ding walked to Cha Xin and looked into the garden together.

There are only two trees, not tall, and the trunks are not thick, about the size of an arm, but the leaves are lush.

But at this time, the branches and leaves of the two trees were all entangled and intertwined, and they were almost indistinguishable from each other.

Xia Ding knew that these two trees could make Cha Xin look at them for so long, so there must be something deep in them, so he looked at them attentively.

The two old men, who were nearly a hundred years old, just looked at the two trees much younger than them, motionless.

After a long time, Cha Xin said, "Old Xia."

"Ok?"

"Don't look at it."

"Why don't you let me see it?" Xia Ding asked with a puzzled frown.

"If you don't understand, go watch the video."

""

Xia Ding really wanted to reach out and strangle this old man whom he had known for decades.

Cha Xin continued: "What I mean is, as long as Bai Shaoping can understand it, don't be angry, come, sit down, and invite you to drink tea."

So the two sat on the chairs beside the tea table, made a pot of tea with Cha Xin, poured a cup for themselves and Xia Ding, and took a sip.

Cha Xin put down her teacup, looking preoccupied, and said, "Lao Song asked you to come?"

"Don't ask, if you ask, you must know it all, don't play with me like you and young people ask without knowing it." Xia Ding raised his hand decisively, and said directly.

Cha Xinyu said earnestly: "I still want to ask you what his opinion is. It seems that he wants me to have the final say with you. What's your opinion?"

Xia Ding shrugged and said helplessly: "If my opinion is useful, then it's not me who came to you, but you who came to me, Old Chatou."

Cha Xin chuckled a few times, and said softly: "People, if you do evil things all your life, and then do one good thing at the end, he is a good person, but if you do good things all your life, and then do one evil thing at the end, he is the most evil person in the world. Since A good beginning will lead to a good end, and where the cause is planted, the fruit should be reaped there."

Xia Ding was silent for a while, then patted the table lightly, and said loudly: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

After speaking, Xia Ding drank the hot tea in one gulp.

Cha Xin didn't pour any more tea, looked at Xia Ding, and said with a faint smile, "Old Xia, you have old arms and legs, can you still move around?"

Xia Ding smiled meaningfully and said: "Old Chatou, with your presbyopic eyes, can you still see clearly?"
