Chapter 2703: Imagination? Or Conspiracy?
One has hatred in his heart, the other is just saying nice things.
The only similarity is that they are all for the position of the head of the family. If Xiao Qing wants to sit in the position of the head of the family, he must show a satisfactory appearance.
The tea leaves were put into the teapot, and a stream of boiling water was poured into it. The smell of tea was emitted with the rising heat, and the whole room was filled with a refreshing smell.
Today Xiao Huaizhi made tea and specially changed it to a different kind of tea. This kind of tea was not available in the Xiao family. Xiao Huaizhi took the teapot and poured two cups.
Even Xiao Qing, who didn't like drinking tea very much, was deeply attracted by the smell of tea, and he exclaimed.
"The fragrance of tea is so fragrant. My fourth uncle didn't expect that you would have such top-quality tea here. It has a stronger tea fragrance than the Dahongpao collected by grandpa."
Xiao Qing was holding the tea cup. Although he didn't like drinking tea, he knew the tea ceremony in detail.
As the future successor of the Xiao family, he must know everything about music, chess, calligraphy, painting and tea. Xiao Qing is knowledgeable and deeply loved by the old man.
Xiao Huaizhi held the tea cup, as if he thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face, and it disappeared fleetingly...
"Nephew, do you also like this tea? If you like it, I will give you some."
"Really? Fourth uncle, don't regret what you said. It's not easy to get precious tea leaves."
"Haha... I have plenty here, just some tea leaves. You are my eldest nephew. Besides, I'm not that stingy."
Xiao Qing thought that this kind of tea was so rare, but he didn't know that this kind of tea was very common in the market.
Because the Xiao family lives in an isolated place, some news cannot reach them, so they don't know about this, Xiao Qing asked curiously.
"Uncle Fourth, where did you get this tea?"
"An outside friend brought it to me. This tea is produced in China and is mass-produced, so it is not a rare thing."
Xiao Huaizhi took out a paper box from under the table. Inside the box was tea. He opened it and handed it to Xiao Qing.
When Xiao Qing smelled the scent of tea, he felt that drinking tea was not as good as Fourth Uncle's, and Fourth Uncle still had so many here.
"Then I won't be polite."
"Okay...if you are going to bring it, bring a few more boxes, so that your father will not know about it and think that I favor one thing over another, so I will definitely be scolded."
"Uncle Xie, I didn't expect that there is such a top-quality tea in China. I didn't know it at all."
Xiao Huaizhi ordered his servants to prepare the tea, and when Xiao Qing left later, he would take the tea with him.
It was not surprising that Xiao Qing said such words. After all, that place was China, which was too far away from where they lived.
"It's been a long time since our Xiao family returned to China. I don't know if these are reasonable things. Let's not talk about these for now and let's talk about other things."
"My fourth uncle is right. I have already made this month's list and will send it to my fourth uncle later."
Xiao Huaizhi nodded. Xiao Qing's ability to do things needs to be affirmed. He can take care of some of the family's properties at a young age.
If there was no Xiao Huaili, and there was a fair competition, most of the position of the head of the family would fall on him. With his father, there would be no suspense.
"I believe in your ability when it comes to work. I don't need to take a closer look. If you think about it, your wedding is coming soon, right?"
"It turns out that Fourth Uncle still remembered this, and the scheduled time is the sixth day of June."
"The sixth day of June...You kid is about to start a family. Time flies so fast. I still remember how you looked when you were a child. You were riding a big horse on my back."
Xiao Huaizhi said that at this point, Xiao Qing had to admit that this fourth uncle had always treated him well, just because of his different stance.
"Although you are not my child, I have always treated you as one of my own. It is said that the girl from the Jiang family is tall, graceful and well-educated."
"This marriage was decided by both parents. I have no choice but to obey the arrangement."
"You kid, I promise I won't treat you badly. Her mother is a famous beauty, so naturally the child won't be any worse."
Xiao Qing actually got news that the woman he was engaged to seemed to have made a very rebellious move.
Now that the Jiang family is looking for him, he can't say it in front of Xiao Huaizhi, otherwise it will be too embarrassing, Xiao Qing said with a slight smile.
"Then it seems that my luck is indeed good."
"The two families are well matched. Our Xiao family is marrying the Jiang family again. This way we can also compensate the Jiang family. The Xiao family owes them a debt of gratitude."
When Xiao Huaixin drove his woman away from the Xiao family, the Jiang family lost a lot of face. Although the Jiang family didn't show it, they definitely had resentment.
This marriage can make up for the previous mistakes. The two families already have some business contacts.
Xiao Qing didn't think it mattered. Anyway, the Xiao family was the big one. What else could the Jiang family do? They had to keep their anger in their hearts.
"What the fourth uncle said is absolutely true. I will definitely remember the teachings of the fourth uncle and will not let my family down."
"You are the future head of the family. Whatever you do, you must take the overall situation into consideration."
"It's too early for Fourth Uncle to say this. My nephew, I still have some shortcomings, but I don't dare to say who I am as the future head of the family."
Here Xiao Qing said modestly, and at the same time he also hoped that Xiao Huaizhi could say something affirmative at this time.
Xiao Huaizhi was shrewd and shrewd, and he had already guessed what Xiao Qing was thinking, so he spoke.
"Don't worry too much about this. Although your younger brother Xiao Cang is also capable, you are the eldest son after all."
"Xiao Cang's ability is not inferior to mine, but he likes to read and do research, and has never been at home."
"So the future head of the family can only be in your hands, unless that kind of thing happens."
Xiao Qing felt very comfortable when he heard the affirmative words, but at this time, Xiao Huaizhi made a turn, which made Xiao Qing feel that his fourth uncle had something to say.
He didn't rush to ask, showing how much he cared about the position of the head of the family. After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Qing asked.
"Fourth uncle, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."
"Oh... I just said it casually, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"This... Fourth uncle, don't just say half of it, it's like that."
Xiao Huaizhi said this deliberately to make Xiao Qing anxious. Xiao Qing fell into Xiao Huaizhi's trap and asked anxiously at this time.
"Do you want to hear it? What I said is just a guess, it's the same as saying it or not."
"Just say whatever you want, I'm naturally sensible."
"Well, since you want to hear it, then I'll tell you, it's just my imagination, the facts have already been settled."
Xiao Qing sat aside, listening carefully to what Xiao Huaizhi said. Xiao Huaizhi looked into the distance and sighed deeply.
"If your third uncle's son was still alive in this world, then I'm afraid this position would not be yours."
