"......" Yang Fan was speechless. He suddenly found that although the middle-aged man in front of him was a square and dull appearance, he spoke to the point and focused on the point, and he was worthy of being the first minister of the imperial court.

Yang Juzheng took a sip of tea, his voice softened a lot, looked at Yang Fan with interest, and asked, "Why didn't your mother and your brother come?"

"Because they don't want to come. ”

"Then why are you here?"

"Because I can't help but come. ”

"You don't want to come either?"

"I don't want to. ”

"Why?"

"Because I don't know you at all. Even if you're my father, it's the first time I've seen you. ”

"Since you're back, you're going to be fine. Yang Juzheng took another sip of tea and said, "If they don't come back now, they will come back sooner or later." ”

"I don't understand. Yang Fan said.

Yang Juzheng asked, "What don't you understand?"

Yang Fan said: "Since we have been separated for so many years, why do you bother to look for us again." I know you have many wives and many children. ”

Yang Juzheng suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Blood is thicker than blood." No matter how many children I have, I can't bear any of them. ”

"Is this what you mean?"

"Of course. ”

"Do you think I can believe it?"

"I think you can believe it. ”

"Why?"

"Because you can't disbelieve. ”

"Is this the father? Fathers threaten their sons?"

"It's not a threat. It's the rule. ”

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "I hate rules. ”

Yang Juzheng said: "It's useless for you to hate. When you enter the Guogong Mansion, you have to follow the rules. You still have a lot to do from today. You're going to start studying, you're going to meet your brothers and sisters, you're going to follow me to the palace to meet some big guys. ”

"If you cultivate me like this, aren't you afraid that I will abandon you after I finish my studies?"

"It was my fault that I forsook you in the early years. Then if you abandon me and leave, what right do I have to complain?"

"Do you really think so?"

"Is it necessary for me to lie to you?"

"It doesn't seem to be. ”

"Then what should you do? You are now the young master of the Guogong Mansion, you shouldn't say anything when you see me?"

"I know what you mean. But I'm going to call you dad right now, won't you think it's fake?"

Yang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, and smiled casually and quietly: "Do you know that there are many people in this world who call me dad like me." ”

"I know. But I wouldn't think so. ”

"Why?" Yang Juzheng asked curiously.

"Because you were my father. ”

Yang Juzheng was stunned again, then stood up, walked towards Yang Fan, and suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Yang Fan's head.

"Poplar, Yang Fan. Qin Ling, she really could think of it. ”

Yang Fan raised his head and said, "I think this name is very good." ”

Yang Juzheng shook his head and said, "But your name is not that. ”

Yang Fan asked, "Then what should I be called?"

Yang Juzheng took a few steps back and forth with his hands behind his shoulders, and said, "I once did a family tree. My son is going to be named after 'Wen Tao Wu Strategy, Jing Zhong Serves the Country'. I used to have six sons, and now with you and poplar, there are exactly eight. According to your age, Yang Shu is the sixth, and his name should be Yang Zhong. You are the eighth in line, you should be called Yang Guo. ”

Before Yang Fan could speak, Yang Juzheng said again: "But you and I have been lost for many years, which has caused great regret, and it is my fault." Then from now on, you will no longer be called Yang Fan, nor will you be called Yang Guo, just Yang Guo. ”

"Yang Guo's fault?" Yang Fan asked.

"Hmm. Yang Juzheng nodded.

"Don't. Yang Fan shook his head.

"Why?" Yang Ju just smiled.

"Why do you want to count your fault on my head? Do you want me to use this name to make up for my mistake to accompany me for the rest of my life?" Yang Fan said without changing his face.

"Do you want to disobey me?" Yang Juzheng asked.

Yang Fan said confidently: "I'm just telling the truth. ”

At this time, Mr. Tu Da, who had not spoken, interrupted: "Young Master, no one can change what the Duke has decided. Guogong is your father, and it is only natural that he will give you a name. ”

Yang Fan smiled and said: "I don't care if I can change it or not, I don't care if it's natural or not, in short, my name is Yang Fan, this is my mother's name!"

Mr. Tu Da shook his head. He was kind enough to remind, but since Yang Fan didn't accept it, he wouldn't continue to persuade him, so he stopped talking.

"Stubborn enough, stubborn enough, like me!" Yang Juzheng suddenly smiled again, but he immediately said: "I don't care if you want to or not, and no matter how strongly you oppose it. In short, the two words Yang Guo are your future name. It's okay if you don't admit it, but I only recognize the name. ”

"Yang Fan, listen well, from now on, you will be called Yang Guo!"

Proud!

It's a condescending and innate pride!

Yang Fan has never felt proud, he has always thought that his brother Yang Shu is the proudest person in the world, and later thought that Zhao Wuji is also a proud person comparable to his brother. The word pride was incomparably unfamiliar to him, but it was incomparably familiar. But it was only now that he understood the true meaning of pride.

What is true pride?

That is, when you have enough strength and heritage, and then say what you can do, this is pride.

When a person is truly proud, all life is an ant in his eyes. He is definitely not an eagle, but a being higher than an eagle. Because no matter how high the eagle flies, it knows the existence of the creature. But the existence is taller than the eagle, and the eagle is just an ant in its heart.

Yang Juzheng at this moment is such an existence in Yang Fan's eyes.

Yang Fan is thriving in Kowloon Town and Sioux City, and he will not sell anyone's pride. Ying Caige was such an unattainable figure in the world of Yang Fan in the past, but when she invited Yang Fan, she was also decisively rejected by Yang Fan. When he was chased and killed all the way back, during the decisive battle between Su Cheng and the three families, there were also many proud characters who showed their proud side in front of Yang Fan, but Yang Fan didn't buy it.

But now, Yang Juzheng just said these proud words full of pride, and Yang Fan's heart began to waver.

It was not that he was frightened by Yang Juzheng, but when Yang Juzheng said this, it seemed that an invisible force enveloped Yang Fan, and a pair of invisible mountains pressed on Yang Fan's shoulders, wanting him to kneel down. But Yang Fan is determined and refuses to compromise, so there is this trembling picture when facing force.

The gap in cultivation is too different, and Yang Juzheng only needs a simple coercion to make Yang Fan not even have the courage to raise his head.
