In the blink of an eye, Zhang Ping had been in Kyoto for five or six days.

Seeing that the birthday banquet of Zhang Shixiong, the old man of the Zhang family, was imminent, the entire Zhang family was busy, and it was a lively and festive scene.

On this day......

Early in the morning, Zhang Ping received a summons from Zhang Shixiong.

After coming to Zhang's Manor, Zhang Shixiong was reading the newspaper in the restaurant, and Li Tie stood behind him, standing with his hands arched.

After seeing Zhang Ping, he put down the newspaper in his hand and smiled kindly: "It's here." ”

Zhang Ping nodded.

"Haven't you had breakfast yet?" Zhang Shixiong looked at Zhang Ping with a smile, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down and eat together!"

Zhang Ping hesitated for a moment, and then sat down next to Zhang Shixiong.

In the empty and spacious dining room, there were only three of them, and it seemed a little deserted.

Looking at Zhang Shixiong, Zhang Ping's eyes couldn't help but be a little complicated, faintly sad for him.

At Zhang Shixiong's age, the family should be full of children and grandchildren, and the whole family is happy!

But he lost his son in old age, and his only grandson has just returned to the family.

Even if the family has a lot of money, what can it do? No amount of money can buy the warmth of family affection!

It didn't take long for breakfast to be served.

A small casserole of vegetable porridge, a few refreshing side dishes, a few drawers of xiaolongbao, and a few eggs.

Seeing this, Zhang Ping couldn't help but be stunned.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Ping would have said that he would not have believed that this was the breakfast of the head of the first family in Kyoto.

It's exactly the breakfast that belongs to civilians in the breakfast shop!

"When I'm older, I like to eat something light. ”

As if he saw what Zhang Ping was thinking, Zhang Shixiong smiled slightly.

"If you don't like it, you can ask the kitchen to make it for you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ping shook his head and said, "No need, I can eat anything." ”

Zhang Shixiong smiled slightly, folded the newspaper in his hand and began to eat breakfast.

Since he had just gotten up and was called here, he had breakfast, and Zhang Ping was already hungry.

For a moment, he couldn't help but gobble it up.

I have to say that this Zhang's steamed bun is better than the outside, and I don't know how to make it!

Seeing this, Zhang Shixiong's eyes were full of smiles, and then he instructed Li Tie to go to the kitchen to get a few more drawers.

The breakfast in front of him was wiped out like a storm, and Zhang Ping remembered that he was in Zhang's house, he scratched his head and said, "Am I eating a little fast?"

Seeing this, Zhang Shixiong laughed, and the hearty laughter spread throughout the restaurant.

Then, he looked at Zhang Ping, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"It's been a long time since anyone has had breakfast with me, twenty years......"

Reminiscing about the old days, Zhang Shixiong's old face showed a little sigh.

For a while, Zhang Ping couldn't help but be silent, and slowly lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Zhang Shixiong waved his hand and said, "You come with me." ”

Then, Zhang Shixiong got up and took Zhang Ping to the study on the second floor.

At this time, Zhang Shixiong's table has a simple wooden box, on which the dragon and phoenix are carved, and the exquisite carving must be from the hand of a famous artist, which is worth a lot of money.

Zhang Shixiong sat down and said with a smile: "In a few days, it will be my 80th birthday banquet, and all the major families in Kyoto will come to congratulate him." ”

"Take this thing, wait until the day of the birthday feast, and then give it to me in front of everyone. With that, Zhang Shixiong pushed the wooden box in front of him in front of Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping was slightly stunned and said: "I have prepared a birthday gift for your birthday banquet, so you don't have to worry about this!"

Zhang Shixiong shook his head and said earnestly: "The reason why I invited so many people to this birthday banquet is to let everyone in Kyoto know that my Zhang Shixiong's grandson is back!"

"As a young master who has just returned to the family, you need to come up with something to calm the audience, if it is too ordinary, I am afraid it will cause some people to criticize!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ping's heart couldn't help but be moved.

This grandfather really thinks about him and paves the way for him early!

"This treasure is not something that can be bought with money, and his value is far beyond your imagination!" Zhang Shixiong rubbed the wooden box in his hand, his eyes full of love.

Subsequently, he handed over the wooden box to Zhang Ping.

At this time, Zhang Ping's heart couldn't help but be a little curious. What will be the treasure that can make Zhang Shixiong full of praise and love?

After taking the wooden box, he smelled a faint hint of sandalwood, and it seemed that the material used in this wooden box was also the best wood!

"Open it and take a look. Zhang Shixiong said.

Hearing this, Zhang Ping nodded and opened the wooden box.

I saw a scroll lying inside the wooden box, which looked like it should be a painting.

The slightly yellowed paper was full of traces of time.

Looks like this should be an antique painting!

Zhang Ping cautiously opened the scroll, and a magnificent picture scroll came into view.

Although Zhang Ping didn't know much about calligraphy and painting, he was still shocked by this magnificent picture scroll, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Good painting!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shixiong introduced with a smile: "This is a rare treasure, from the hands of a famous artist, called Shanhe Shejitu! The value is immeasurable!"

Zhang Ping couldn't help but nodded and said, "Well, this name has a good meaning." ”

"Exactly!" Zhang Shixiong nodded and said, "This painting will be handed over to you." ”

"Well, I'll definitely save it. Zhang Ping nodded.

"After this birthday banquet, no one in Kyoto knows you Zhang Ping! Some blind people will not dare to provoke you!" Zhang Shixiong held the armchair in his hand, and a domineering spirit of a superior person spontaneously emerged.

"I will push you to the top, and when the time comes, you can do whatever you want, and I Zhang Shixiong will support you behind your back!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ping couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth, and the soft place in his heart was hit hard.

Except for Liu Qiao, it is the first time that someone has been so good to him!

Both of them are Zhang Ping's two relatives who need to be guarded with heart!

One is to raise him, raise him as an adult, and bring him warmth. The other is meticulous care and has planned everything for him!

Especially Zhang Shixiong's sentence just now, 'I have everything in everything', for him who has tasted all the hardships of life, can there be anything more touching than these words?

Is this what family affection is?

"Thank you, grandpa. Zhang Ping smiled movingly.

This time, his grandfather's shout was much smoother.

"Okay, good!" Zhang Shixiong smiled heartily, and his cloudy old eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

He knew that from this moment on, he could be regarded as breaking Zhang Ping's locked heart and allowing him to truly accept himself as a grandfather!

"Okay, you go back, I still have something to do!" Zhang Shixiong smiled kindly.

"Well, then I'll go first. Zhang Ping nodded, and then exited Zhang Shixiong's room.
