Chapter 367: The Mystery of Origin
His feet stepped on the black marble of the villa's living room, and a dull crash sound came from behind him, which meant that the thick door had been closed, and Chang Zhaowen pressed the "play" button of the voice recorder in his hand without hesitation.
"Awen, when you hear this recording, grandpa is no longer there...... Ahem, there's nothing wrong with that, people have to die eventually, and besides, I've lived long enough. Arwen, you're a good boy with a gift...... What Grandpa gave you, you used it very well!"
Hearing his grandfather's hoarse and old voice, Chang Zhaowen couldn't help but burst into tears with excitement, he was already half excited when he heard his grandfather's voice in Chang Zhaowu's office before, but at that time, the nerves in Chang Zhaowu's whole body were tense, and he didn't dare to relax at all.
Chang Zhaowen didn't turn on the lights, just sat directly on the sofa, the huge villa was empty, only the voice from the recorder remained, the voice gently floated in the empty hall, for a moment, Chang Zhaowen even had an illusion, as if his grandfather was not dead, he was now sitting next to his grandfather, listening to himself tell a long story to himself, about him, about Chang Zhaowu, about Chang Dongsheng, about all the Chang family.
"What I'm going to say next may be absurd, but be assured that it's true. If you have the slightest suspicion, then please think about the Rongkun bucket......"
The old man really knows how to give examples, and also, since such a small wooden barrel can hold such a vast piece of the world, then what is impossible?
"Everything about everything goes back a long, long time......" The old man's voice slowly unfolded, sure enough, it was the old man, as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to speak at length, Chang Zhaowen picked up the recorder and lit up the LCD screen above, sure enough, this recording was more than 100 minutes, and it was almost two hours.
Although the old man's words were very organized, and they were developed little by little strictly according to the development of time, the more Chang Zhaowen listened, the more confused he became, more than half an hour had passed, and he still didn't hear any key points, and he heard his grandfather repeatedly emphasize that the ancestors of their Chang family were so powerful, and how to stand out in a large group of families with ancient artifacts.
These are a bit like the bureaucratic clichés at the commendation meeting, Chang Zhaowen yawned again and again, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier, eh, otherwise try to see if it was fast forward, Chang Zhaowen held the recorder in his hand, and studied the keys on it with the help of the LCD screen glowing with faint blue light. It's the first time he's used a voice recorder, but fortunately, several keys on it are marked with different patterns, and the role of different keys is clear at a glance.
Just as he was about to press the "fast forward" button, the familiar three words "Blue Pill" suddenly popped up.
Grandpa described the effect of Qinglan Pill in detail, it turns out that a person can only use Qinglan Pill once in their life, which will help them give birth to good enough children. This child will be responsible for the future of the family and maximize the family's talents.
The heirs of the Chang family for generations are all strongmen who have been blessed by Qinglan Pill, until Chang Zhaowen and Chang Zhaowu's father Chang Dongsheng's generation, suddenly changed.
Chang Dongsheng's culinary talent is not low, but he doesn't like to cook, and always talks about "gentleman's cooking".
This made the old man Chang, who wanted to continue to carry forward the Chang family inheritance, very uneasy, and his son refused to continue the family tradition, so he could only hope for his grandchildren.
In order to ensure that the heir is good enough, Old Man Chang found the most suitable wife candidate for Chang Dongsheng - the Zhang family, who is also famous for his cooking skills.
It's just that this Zhang family is thin, and in their generation, there is only one daughter left, Zhang Biying, but this Zhang Biying is not simple.
Looks delicate, has a compelling aura, can go to the hall, enter the kitchen, is proficient in music, can be described as versatile, and can make a unique style of good dishes, it is definitely a suitable daughter-in-law candidate.
Hearing this, Chang Zhaowen suddenly said "oh", and suddenly thought of the recipe of the mandarin fish flower that I found before, as well as the mandarin fish flower that was sandwiched in as a bookmark, and thought of the creative and amazing "Chunlan Qiuju", which is really worthy of being a talented woman who integrates poetry into cooking.
Under the deliberate arrangement of Old Man Chang, the two young people "met" by chance, Chang Dongsheng was immediately attracted by this talented girl, and Zhang Biying was originally very curious and impressed by the rebellious descendants of the Chang family, who did not follow the ancestral training, and the two soon fell in love and got married
Old Man Chang quietly mixed the two blue pills into the diet of Chang Zhaowen's parents, and on the day Chang Zhaowen was born, Old Man Chang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the golden grandson with the strongest culinary talent of Chang and Zhang was born.
After Chang Dongsheng told the news happily, he didn't expect it to make Chang Dongsheng furious, he thought that his marriage was all a conspiracy manipulated by Chang Laozi, and what kind of cooking talent, in his opinion, it was not worth mentioning at all, in modern society, there is no need to rely on someone's special ability at all, and it is completely possible to achieve success through business management.
Everything that the old man Chang painstakingly planned was completely off the track at this moment, Chang Dongsheng said strongly that it was absolutely impossible to fulfill the old man's wishes, as long as he was in one day, Chang Zhaowen would not be able to inherit the Chang family, and Zhang Biying also fell ill in the production process, and Chang Dongsheng made such a fuss, her illness never got better, and she died in less than a year.
didn't expect Chang Dongsheng to be so ruthless, he didn't relentless in the face of his young son who had just lost his mother, and simply found a cousin in the countryside and asked her to take Chang Zhaowen away. At the same time, he picked up Xu Qianyu, who was already pregnant, and directly informed Old Man Chang that his previous plans were all wishful thinking, and he Chang Dongsheng would not be at the mercy of anyone, and the future heir of the Chang family would be someone else.
Everything that had been painstakingly planned was gone, and under the huge mental blow, Old Man Chang collapsed, he had a stroke, and after waking up, he no longer had any sensation in his lower limbs.
Hearing this, Chang Zhaowen had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong, and who was wrong.
In his opinion, the cold-blooded and ruthless Chang Dongsheng was not worthy of the word "father" at all, but now it seems that he also has his own difficulties, if he changes himself and finds that his life is like a chess game, every step he takes - marriage and childbirth are all under the premeditated plan of his father, and he may also fall into madness.
Grandpa, on the other hand, was the one who gave him a light in the darkness and handed him a life-saving straw when he was on the verge of drowning, but now it seems that his miserable life in the past 20 years was also contributed to by him from a certain point of view. However, Grandpa also has his own goals and beliefs, and everything he does is also for the development of the family, and he also has his own reasons from this point of view.
Things in this world are never black and white, but more gray mixed together, a person who may be useless from a certain standpoint, or a warrior with his own insistence and position from another angle.
Maybe only he and his mother Zhang Biying are the most innocent, right?
