Today's spring has arrived exceptionally early, the earth has warmed up, and everything has recovered.

Linbei City has become very lively because of this, and the annual spring mangwill will be held at this time, and every household is lit up with lights and smiles.

This year is especially different.

This is naturally because of the frequent good news and the great victory of the human race.

It is said that the army of Wuji Sect not only defeated half of the wilderness, but also subdued the Feather Clan and destroyed the desolate beasts.

Of course, the last and most important good news is that the lord of the country has sent a message that the whole country will be exempted from taxation and military service for three years, so that everyone can recuperate.

Compared with the news of the great victory, the news of the exemption from military service is obviously a big deal, and the people are overjoyed with such a good thing.

It is said that this is because of the great success of the land reclamation and the huge profits, so the decision was made.

Not only that, but the Wuji Sect has further opened up the bloodless cultivation secret method, and now the Seven Kingdoms of the Human Race can be practiced by everyone.

Originally, the resources needed for cultivation were huge and difficult to maintain, but now that the whole country is exempt from taxation and there is a barbaric frontier, a large amount of resources have poured into the territory, and the problem of resources needed for cultivation has been solved.

Even so, it is said that the suzerain, the old man, was not very satisfied, and had already gone to the Sea Clan in person, asking for further opening of maritime trade routes and opening up resources.

Yes, now people are no longer talking about the lord, but the suzerain.

Although the human race is still divided into seven kingdoms, each with its own lord, but now all countries respect one faction, and everyone knows that the Wuji Sect is the uncrowned emperor.

In the teahouse and the wine shop, there was a joyful atmosphere everywhere, and even the beggars on the roadside, the prostitutes and women in the Red Mansion were all smiling - without the conscription, everyone's life was better, and the rewards of beggars, prostitutes, and women also increased.

Only one family may be an exception to this celebration.

Su family.

As Su Shen's family, it stands to reason that the Su family should have been soaring.

But the fact is that the Su family is in an embarrassment.

Neither one has attained the Tao and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven, nor has he been down-and-out and sad.

The Su family is still the Su family, just like the Su family in the past, it is stable, even too stable, and it is not like the trend that a family should have - in the past few years, the wealth and status of the Su family have neither increased nor decreased, and they will always be like that.

All of this is naturally because of Su Shen.

Someone once asked Su Shen how to deal with the Su family.

Su Shen's reply was: No support, no suppression, just treat it fairly as usual.

It is this "no support, no suppression, just normal, fair treatment", which has created the current Su family's stable pattern.

No one will ever bully them, and no one will ever treat them favorably.

Everything is done fairly and justly, and it is even to the point of creeping.

The servants of the Su family went out to buy vegetables, and they didn't sell one less, and they didn't want one more.

When the subordinates of the Su family go out to do things, the people they meet are always polite, polite and distant.

For the major events in Linbei, the Su family will always be invited, and the position that should be given must also exist, but at a private party, no one will ever invite the Su family.

If you don't see it!

This made the people of the Su family feel naturally extremely uncomfortable.

But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is actually the disdain, ridicule, and contempt that lies deep under this surface of peace.

The relationship between Su Shen and the Su family has never been a secret in Linbei, from the octogenarian to the yellow-haired child, they all know the story of the past, after all, these things have been spread long ago.

Therefore, for this kind of thing of pushing away the pillars of their own family, everyone is silent, but they are mocking in their hearts.

If the voice of the heart can be spread, then Linbei City is afraid that it will be crowded with pointing and laughing.

In this case, how can the people of the Su family be in a good mood.

"Phew!"

Glancing at the lively street outside, Su Hao spat on the ground, rolled down his sleeves and returned to the hall.

The hall is also bustling with activity at this moment.

The wives and aunts of each room with their own children are coming to the main hall to celebrate the New Year.

Su Feihu sat on the top to accept the invitation of each room, he was once heroic, but now he is old under the erosion of the years, fortunately, his spirit is still strong, and his mood is also very good, listening to the kneeling of the little characters all the way, and smiling: "Good, good, very good." ”

After the New Year's greetings, everyone sat down.

Su Feihu looked around and asked, "Why didn't the eldest brother come?"

What he asked, naturally, was Su Chengan.

An aunt stood up and said, "The eldest man is a little unwell, so he is resting in the house." ”

Su Feihu shook his head: "Where is the physical discomfort, it is clearly psychological discomfort, it has been so many years, and I still can't let it go, alas, let him go." ”

"Yes. ”

Su Feihu's eyes were like lightning, and he looked at everyone: "I know that you don't like this result, the greater his fame, the more resentment you will have in your hearts." But believe me, that's the best way to go. ”

The younger generation bowed their heads and remained silent.

It was still Su Feihu's wife who said: "Okay, okay, good day, what are you doing with these words, everyone eat quickly." ”

Then they bowed their heads and ate.

It's just that the meal is as usual, eating evenly and lifelessly.

Su Feihu is the only one who doesn't care.

After dinner, Su Feihu went straight to the courtyard, drank tea, and tasted the few red plums he planted back then.

While enjoying himself, a gust of wind blew.

Su Feihu found that everything around him was quiet, as if time had stopped.

The flowers no longer shake, the water no longer flows, and even the wind stops blowing.

Seeing this scene, Su Feihu was not surprised and smiled: "Shen'er, are you here?"

There was no answer.

Su Feihu smiled: "Come out, I know it's you." ”

It's still quiet, but in the open space, I don't know when there is more Su Shen's figure.

He stood there as if it had existed for a long time.

Seeing Su Shen, Su Feihu smiled: "You finally know that you are back, it has been three years since you said goodbye last time, right?"

In the past few years, Su Shen has also secretly returned to Linbei several times to visit Su Feihu, but each time it was only a few words, and he left after confirming that the other party was well.

Because every time it was a New Year's occasion, Su Feihu was used to it, otherwise he wouldn't have guessed him so easily.

"There have been a lot of things going on over the years, and I haven't had much time to come back to visit my uncle. Su Shen came over and sat down with Su Feihu.

The wind resumed its flow again, the fragrance of flowers came, and the flowing water murmured, but the people who walked by next to him regarded Su Shen as if he were nothing, and they couldn't see him at all.

Su Feihu said with a smile: "Your method of covering people's ears and eyes has been refined again. ”

What Su Feihu said is that it is not that others can't see Su Shen, but that people can see Su Feihu, but they can't see Su Feihu and Su Shen talking, this kind of means is extraordinary.

Su Shen responded: "If your uncle wants to learn, your nephew can teach you." ”

Su Feihu smiled and waved his hand: "I don't need it, I'm old, I don't have that self-motivated heart, I just want to live a peaceful and stable life." That's how it is, it's good. ”

"But if you like it, it doesn't mean that others like it. Su Shen said.

In fact, Su Shen has forgiven everything the Su family has done to him in the past, and a long time ago, he intended to help the Su family get out of the current situation.

It was Su Feihu who was unwilling.

The one who really said "don't support, don't suppress, just don't see" is Su Feihu.

Hearing Su Shen's words, Su Feihu said disdainfully: "What if they don't like it? Don't you just want to take advantage of your momentum to soar and gain momentum? Shen'er, it's not easy to be a person, and it's even more difficult to stand at the top. How many heroes and heroes are dragged down by the people around them. These relatives, when you were poor, could not help you, but on the day of your prosperity, they were attached like leeches to suck blood. The better you treat them, the more trouble you will get yourself. You are now the master, as long as you are willing, the Su family can be rich in the world and a very popular minister. But whose blood is it that it sucks? It is your blood, the blood of the people of the world. Whose name is it that has been ruined? It is your name, it is your lifelong dream! You can leave aside the events of the past, and this is very good. But I can't, because that's the only way to make you less burdened. I can't help you, but I can at least make it less burdensome. ”

Su Shen looked at Su Feihu with tears in his eyes.

Su Feihu really cared about him, and it was precisely because he really cared about him that he didn't want the Su family to become a burden to him, so he resolutely put forward such conditions.

Su Shen wanted to say that in fact, he could avoid what Su Feihu said by strictly disciplining him, but he also knew that it was almost impossible.

Money is for spending, and power is for use.

If you have money and don't have the right to spend it, what is the point of asking for money and power?

Su Shen has the world in his heart, and he doesn't have the time to care about these people, even if it is Su Feihu, he may not be able to manage it - he has been in charge of this family for too many years, and he knows too well the hearts of those disciples. Give them a pole, and they will dare to poke a hole in the sky.

Say anything about strict control, clean and self-contained, it's all fart.

So, the best thing to do is to do it like this.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with being safe and sound. When you stand tall, the wind is strong. No one knows when the trouble will come. As it is now, at least no one will use their brains against us, no one will try to use us against you, and no one will try to harm us, and we will be safe and secure. Isn't it good that people want to be healthy in this life? So, I like this, and it's good. As for the little ones, if they want to live the life of a superior person, they will fight for it themselves. People who fantasize about hugging people's thighs, they don't know how hard they work, and it's not a pity to abandon them. Su Feihu continued to persuade.

Su Shen nodded lightly: "Since my uncle said so, my heart is steady." By the way, how is he doing now?"

Su Feihu knew that he was asking Su Chengan.

Sighing, he said, "The knot in my heart is hard to solve, and I can't hold it anymore." ”
