Chapter 51: Strange Paintings

What is the reason why the Zheng family can last for more than two thousand years, Zheng Kai's heart is full of doubts, no matter how lucky he is, he will not last so long, there must be some reason, but now this reason cannot be found for the time being.

Zheng Kai was thinking about this question.

Zheng Youcai took a few steps forward, approached the tablets, and looked at them affectionately.

"Good grandson, come over and look at your ancestor, this is your ancestor Zheng ......"

Zheng Kai hurriedly followed, stood next to Zheng Youcai, and looked at the tablet.

Zheng Youcai explained to Zheng Kai one tablet after another, seriously and in detail, for fear of missing a tablet and the story of an ancestor.

Zheng Kai also listened carefully, and soon, Zheng Youcai's contagious narration infected Zheng Kai, Zheng Kai seemed to follow Zheng Youcai's footsteps, treading the footprints of the ancestors of the past dynasties, and feeling their glorious deeds.

"Here is a picture of some major events in the family, which tells the story of what happened, I am old, I can't talk about it, you look at it slowly. ”

After speaking, he knelt on the futon and recited the scriptures reverently.

Zheng Kai then looked down the wall, painting by painting, most of which told the story of the ancestors who turned the tide and saved the Zheng family from decay.

For example, when Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, the Zheng family had already found a peach blossom source in the deep mountains and forests, and when the war arrived, they abandoned all secular business, only brought gold, silver, soft and books, and hid in the mountains and forests that had already been found, so as to escape the trampling of the Qin Iron Cavalry.

And this hiding was for decades, and it was not until Liu Bang stabilized the Han Dynasty that the Zheng family slowly came out and began to do business with the gold and silver they brought in, and gradually began to grow again.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Zheng family formed a wide alliance with the world's corporal clan, made a wide range of contacts, and in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, he successively invested in Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and other heroes in the world, although the Zheng family's assets suffered a great loss, but also in exchange for the respect of the major warlords for the Zheng family, the Zheng family in the troubled times, to avoid the occurrence of disasters.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, the ancestors led the Zheng family to the south, known as the Yiguan Nandu, and the Zheng family took root in the south of the Yangtze River, maintained a good relationship with the ruling class, and never became an official, did not affect the rule of the feudal regime, and the Zheng family also deliberately erased the traces of existence in the world, and never let the historian record the Zheng family.

For more than a thousand years since then, whenever there has been a crisis in the Zheng family, a very smart person will come out and lead the Zheng family out of the predicament.

During the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors did not know the prophet, and sent a large number of ships across the Pacific Ocean and circled the earth for a whole circle, just to find a suitable base for the Zheng family, which is the archipelago where it is now, which is earlier than Magellan circumnavigating the earth.

Although the loss of traveling around the world was heavy, it was also worth it, and after the Ming Dynasty fell, the Zheng family transferred all the core materials here, and then continued to develop business around the world.

Somehow, this place has never been discovered by other countries, and it has always been occupied by the Zheng family, who have been developing in these archipelago for hundreds of years.

When the Japanese invaded China, the Zheng family scattered all their wealth and supported the anti-Japanese resistance, and so on, Zheng Kai's blood was boiling, his heart was surging, and his heart could not be calm for a long time.

It turned out that the Zheng family had such brilliant achievements, Zheng Kai originally thought that the Zheng family was just a very rich family, but now it seems that the heritage of two thousand years is here, and there are still many indescribable and unclear things in it.

Zheng Kai found it difficult to digest this emotion all of a sudden, Zheng Kai felt this sense of historical weight, sense of responsibility, and gave birth to a feeling of fighting for it all his life.

In the end, Zheng Kai was in a corner and found a very ordinary painting, and Zheng Kai was stunned for a moment.

Among the many exquisite paintings, seeing such an ordinary painting made Zheng Kai feel very curious.

The content of this painting is simple, the lines are rough, and it depicts the content of an old man riding a bull.

But Zheng Kai vaguely felt that this painting was not simple, Zheng Kai looked left and right, and the more he looked, he found that he was a little addicted to it, and wanted to look away, but found that he couldn't do it.

Zheng Kai was a little puzzled in his heart, what is the situation, what is the attraction of this painting?

Suddenly Zheng Kai felt the cow in the painting, his eyes moved, full of cunning, Zheng Kai suddenly felt creepy, although it was broad daylight, Zheng Kai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Zheng Kai rubbed his eyes vigorously, widened his eyes and looked hard, and found that the cow's eyes didn't seem to move, it was difficult for him to be dazzled, but what was going on with the cow's anthropomorphic eyes just now.

Zheng Kai was puzzled.

Zheng Kai was about to call his grandfather, but found that his head couldn't turn or his throat sound, so Zheng Kai was completely panicked.

Growing so big, Zheng Kai has never seen any scenes, but he really hasn't seen this scene.

Suddenly, the cow's eyes turned again, and a fine light burst out, shooting directly at Zheng Kai, Zheng Kai didn't react at all, and the whole person fell into a state of chaos.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a second, maybe a minute, maybe an hour, Zheng Kai came to his senses.

Zheng Kai looked dazed, he didn't know what was going on, just now he felt a little distracted, and then he woke up immediately.

Could it be that I came here by myself, a little too tired and hallucinated?

When I touched myself, there was nothing unusual about my body.

Zheng Kai stepped forward and took a closer look at the painting.

"It's an ugly painting, what happened just now, it's so fascinating. ”

Zheng Kai muttered to himself, and then walked towards Zheng Youcai.

At this time, the ordinary painting behind it, the buffalo actually showed an anthropomorphic anger, which seemed to be dissatisfied with Zheng Kai's finding the painting ugly.

"Grandpa, I have already admired the glorious deeds of your ancestors. ”

Zheng Kai said softly.

"Good. ”

Zheng Youcai bowed slightly, stopped chanting, and stood up.

Zheng Kai hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Grandpa, where did that painting in the corner come from?"

Zheng Kai didn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked.

I don't know what you said, I only know that one of the family mottos passed down from generation to generation by the Zheng family is that you must never lose any item in the ancestral hall, which is the most precious thing of the Zheng family.

Zheng Youcai shook his head, he didn't know very well.

Without the origin of this painting, Zheng Kai could only give up.

"Grandson, you come to the study with me, grandpa has something to say to you. ”

Zheng Youcai said.

Zheng Kai supported Zheng Youcai and walked towards the study.

In the ancestral hall, there was no one, and the somewhat ugly painting stayed there quietly, motionless.
