222　　After hearing this, Ying Er immediately went forward to let him in.

　　At this time, Feng Xuan walked in from outside, looking refreshed and with a smile on his face.

　　He was holding a pot of wine and a food box in his hands.

　　Seeing Chen Jie, he said, "Ah, Lao Wu is here too."

　　Chen Jie said: "Big brother."

　　Feng Xuan said: "Please sit down. I am here to see my adoptive father."

　　"Godfather, are you feeling better?"

　　Feng Xuan asked with concern, and Peng Shizhong said, "Ahem... I'm fine."

　　Feng Xuan said at this time: "Sitting at home today, I don't know why I missed my adoptive father. It reminded me of the time when my second son and I followed him to learn his skills."

　　Peng Shizhong looked at him.

　　Feng Xuan raised the wine jar and said, "Godfather, I remember that every time after practicing Kung Fu, you would take me and the second brother to eat roast chicken at Deshenglou and drink Beilu Shaojiu."

　　"I bought everything today, let's drink some."

　　Peng Shizhong looked at Feng Xuan and said, "Boss, you haven't been so sincere in drinking with me for many years."

　　Feng Xuan said, "Alas, I was blinded by the desire for power before. The second brother died, and I feel very upset. I have thought a lot. Let's not talk about this. The fifth brother, you are here too. Let's drink with our godfather. By the way, godfather, can you drink alcohol in this state?"

　　"Haha, you're inviting me to drink, how can I not drink? Bring me a bowl!"

　　When Peng Shizhong heard Feng Xuan's words, he was very happy. He thought that this boss had turned over a new leaf.

　　Feng Xuan said: "Okay, bring the bowl and drink."

　　After drinking a few cups, Peng Shizhong looked at Feng Xuan and said, "Boss, do you blame me?"

　　The boss paused, then said as if he didn't care: "I have complained."

　　"I don't complain now."

　　"Why?"

　　Feng Xuan said, "I've figured it out. My adoptive father's treatment of me is also a spur to me. He hopes that I won't be too calculating and treat others with sincerity. I've often thought of my second brother these days. When I think about the past, we fought to the death, but it was actually meaningless. Why should brothers like us end up like this?"

　　"Old Five, you are very good. In fact, you are more suitable to take over the role of foster father than Old Two and I."

　　"These days, I have also figured it out. Fame, wealth and status are all fleeting. Tomorrow, if you send someone to my Heping Street, I will hand over Heping Street to you. I will also hide away for a few days. When I have nothing to do, I will come to play chess with my adoptive father and have a drink. It's nice."

　　Chen Jie looked at Feng Xuan's sincere expression and had no idea what he was up to!

　　"Brother, I'm afraid I can't do it!"

　　"Why not? I'll let Si Xi help you. Then I'll have to bother you more often. Please don't find me annoying!"

　　Feng Xuan's smile was gentle and warm.

　　Peng Shizhong was very happy, feeling that his eldest son had finally turned over a new leaf. He immediately laughed and said, "Haha, great. How can your godfather find you annoying? You come every day, and your godfather will be happy!"

　　Peng Shizhong was in a good mood and drank the wine with Chen Jie and Feng Xuan.

　　Feng Xuan had a smile on his face, but murderous intent was running rampant in his heart!

　　You old man, you are so happy when I tell you to hand over the power. You really don't like me. If that's the case, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between father and son!

　　"Haha, drink, drink~"

Chapter 136 Wife: My husband, how about taking a concubine?

　　After eating and drinking, Chen Jie and Feng Xuan took their leave together.

　　Peng Shizhong was very happy. He was delighted by Feng Xuan's change, but maybe he was overthinking it.

　　Feng Xuan was the child I watched grow up, so how could he secretly harm the second child? I have been too harsh on him these past few days, and it has not been easy for him.

　　As Peng Shizhong thought about it, his impression of Feng Xuan changed greatly, and he even blamed himself for being too harsh on him.

　　Chen Jie and Feng Xuan walked out of the mansion and ran into Peng Fu who had returned.

　　Peng Fu had a wooden box in his hand. When they came closer, Chen Jie and Feng Xuan bowed to Peng Fu and said, "Uncle Fu."

　　"Hey, uncle, fifth uncle."

　　Peng Fu immediately bowed. Feng Xuan smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, why do you need to go out in person?"

　　Peng Fu heard this and said, "Oh, the master wants to go to the opera, so let me exchange some gold leaves."

　　Uncle Fu opened the box and saw a thick stack of leaf-shaped flakes made from hammered gold.

　　This is specifically used to reward actors, and is also one of the common methods used by wealthy people to support actors.

　　When an actor sang well, people of status would send people to throw gold and silver valuables onto the stage. This was specifically called "throwing money".

　　It literally means throwing money at the stage!

　　According to legend, after a performance, the Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang of the Republic of China would throw gold bars and jewelry on the stage, which would add up to several thousand dollars, enough to buy a courtyard house in the most prosperous area of ​​​​BJ.

　　…

　　After hearing what Peng Fu said, Feng Xuan said, "Oh, my godfather is so elegant and leisurely. By the way, are these gold leaves enough? I have a few gold bricks in my house. If not, you can take them and ask for the leaves."

　　"That's enough, that's enough, we've already knocked in two gold bricks."

　　Peng Fu said, and after hearing this, Feng Xuan smiled and said, "The old man likes it, don't worry about the money. If there is not enough money, I, as his son, will give it to you."

　　Peng Fu looked at Feng Xuan in surprise and asked, "Master, what are you doing today?"

　　Feng Xuan said: "Is it different now? Oh, thinking back to the past, it shouldn't be like this. The death of the second brother has deeply touched me. My adoptive father is also getting old, and as his children, I should also bear some responsibility for him."

　　Peng Fu looked at Feng Xuan and wondered if this old man had changed his personality.

　　But then I thought, it's hard to change one's nature, so is this just a show?

　　But it doesn't matter anymore. Thinking of this, Peng Fu said, "Haha, you are so thoughtful. Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you any more."

　　"Okay, Uncle Fu, please do as you please."

　　Feng Xuan and Peng Fu said goodbye, and Chen Jie followed behind them. When they reached the door, Feng Xuan turned around and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Old Five, what we said in the room is not a joke. Tomorrow you can send someone to take over Heping Street, and my people will cooperate with you."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Feng Xuan with a slightly fixed gaze and said, "Brother, you must be joking. I have limited energy and cannot take care of so many things. You have to take care of Heping Street."

　　Chen Jie didn't know what Feng Xuan was up to, but he knew one thing: you should oppose what the enemy wants.

　　As long as you have identified who the enemy is, don't care about his purpose or how much he says. Just be determined not to do what he wants you to do.

　　Therefore Chen Jie refused.

　　Feng Xuan said: "Haha... Lao Wu, you don't believe in Big Brother."

　　Chen Jie said: "How dare you, brother?"

　　Feng Xuan said: "Do you think Lao Er's death has something to do with me?"

　　Chen Jie thought to himself, this is related to you, you are the one who informed on her!

　　But he said, "Big brother, you are joking. You and the second brother have a deep brotherly love. How can the second brother's affairs have anything to do with the big brother?"

　　Feng Xuan said, "I know that on that day at Wang Dafa's house, Sixi's visit was a bit too coincidental. I thought about it later and it was really a coincidence. It was not something I planned. Sixi also told me about it when he came back. I want to explain it to you in person to prevent any misunderstandings."

　　Chen Jie said, "Haha, so that's how it is. I really think that day was a bit of a coincidence. I was just wondering, but I didn't expect it to be like this. I understand, I understand!"

　　Chen Jie responded with a smile. Feng Xuan sighed and said helplessly, "Brothers, why do you have to be so suspicious of each other?"

　　"Sigh~ That's enough, Lao Wu. There's no point in saying more. From now on, just watch your brother's performance. Let's go!"

　　Feng Xuan waved his hand and turned around, looking lonely. He walked away step by step, his eyes full of helplessness and loneliness.

　　People who don't know him would really think that he is a prodigal son who has returned.

　　Looking at Feng Xuan's back, Xiaohu drove the carriage over and asked, "Brother, has he really learned well?"

　　Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said, "You, remember this: it is easy to change a country, but it is difficult to change one's nature. He can learn well, but be careful. If something is not normal, there must be something wrong!"

　　After saying that, Chen Jie turned around and got into the car.

　　Feng Xuan came to his own bicycle frame and asked, "Master, how is it?"

　　Feng Xuan said: "Haha, the old guy is still so naive, but this Chen Jiusi is a bit difficult to deal with!"

　　"I'm going to kill him!"

　　Fa Cai spoke, Feng Xuan looked at him and said, "You, not yet, but it doesn't matter, since the game has been set, no one can escape."

　　Feng Xuan got into the car and said, "Let's go back. We still have two days."

　　"yes."

　　Fa Cai drove away.

　　…

　　Chen Jie returned home, came to his study, and rubbed his eyebrows.

　　Carry the [Jue Lingzi] you got from Peng Shizhong with you, this medicine is very expensive.

　　After doing all this, Chen Jie began to think about what happened today. Feng Xuan's abnormality made him very uneasy. He always felt that something big was about to happen.

　　In this way, Chen Jie sat from afternoon to evening.

　　After dinner, Chen Jie came to the study again, holding a book and flipping through it casually. Su Yunjin took a look at the door and left with Yin Hongmei.

　　"Don't disturb my husband, he must have something important to do."

　　Before he knew it, it was around eight o'clock in the evening. Chen Jie felt sleepy again. At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Chen Jie looked up and found that it was the maid Cui Ju.

　　Cui Ju, for some reason, had drawn her eyebrows and combed her hair, and dressed herself up very beautifully. She brought a bowl of lotus seed soup to Chen Jie and said, "Master, it's late at night. Eat something to warm yourself up."

　　"Oh, leave it there."

　　Chen Jie responded casually.

　　Then continue looking at the book in your hand.

　　Cui Ju did not leave after hearing this, but said, "Master, your shoulders must be sore, I will give you a shoulder massage."
