Chapter 162: Seeing Through the Essence of Truth
Zhao Tianxing walked into the old man's study, the old man Zhao was wearing reading glasses, looking at a volume of files, concentrating, and even the footsteps of Zhao Tianxing did not disturb him.
Although Zhao Tianxing is now the most influential high-ranking official in the Imperial Kyoto, he still maintains a respectful attitude in front of the old man, after all, he also understands that he has today's status and power, in fact, not only because of his daily efforts, but also because of the strong support of his family.
No matter how capable a person is, without everyone's help, it is also useless for heroes, what is the role of the power of the family in the empire, the more Zhao Tianxing knows, the more taboo it is.
I don't know when, the old man stopped, put the file in his hand on the table, looked up, took off his glasses, and then asked in a deep voice: "Tianxing, what's the matter?"
Zhao Tianxing immediately replied: "Old man, Xiaoyu is back." ”
Old Man Zhao was slightly stunned, let out a soft "oh", and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Tianxing said: "I don't know anything yet, but according to the report of the spies, not only Xiaoyu has returned, but Li Shangxie's daughter seems to have also returned." ”
Or Liu Qingshan lives in a small building, living a leisurely life every day, and he doesn't know that around Qingshan Village, he has already laid eyeliner, these people, all kinds, just because of Liu Qingshan's strength, these people don't dare to enter Qingshan Village, don't dare to get too close.
From beginning to end, the people of the family did not relax their vigilance against Liu Qingshan.
"I see, the marriage between the Li family in the south and the Zhang family in the north is said to be the daughter of the evil spirit, this girl is good-looking, very individual, the Li family really has a good calculation, hehe-unfortunately, it may not be possible to make all wishes come true!"
The master's words seemed to have a mystery, Zhao Tianxing frowned, and said with some anxiety: "Old man, this matter has a great impact on us, once the Li family in the south and the Zhang family in the north marry, and the two families work together, I am afraid that the position we want to seek will be handed over." ”
"Conspiracy, conspiracy, where is it so easy, Tianxing, aren't you a little anxious?" the old man looked at his son and asked a little unhappily.
Even if Zhao Tianxing was majestic and unsmiling in front of others, but in front of his own old man, he was still a little embarrassed by this question, so he had to explain: "Old man, I am indeed a little anxious, we have been preparing for such a long time, and we are about to ripen and fall, just let the Li family do this, we may fall short." ”
The old man said: "I have told you a long time ago, you must be calm in case of trouble, especially when you encounter a big event, you have to think about it several times, and then make a decision, don't give people a handle, who doesn't know now, you and Li Shangxie are fighting for that position, the official position of the empire, and this kind of power struggle is also needed, only the victor can go that far, which is also the reason why the top of the empire allows you to fight." ”
"But the Li family seems to be too anxious, at this time, the marriage, although it can increase the help of Li Shangxie, but it also brings countless troubles, and variables, even you are in a hurry like this, the top of the empire will not be more stupid than you, the Li family in the south and the Zhang family in the north, the two places are strong, this kind of power, there is a possibility of calling the empire, it will make people very jealous. ”
"Do you think the empire will let the strength of the local area surpass the core of the capital?"
Zhao Tianxing's face was already showing joy, and he asked urgently: "Old man, are you saying that the empire will intervene and destroy the marriage between the two families?"
"Bastard, do you have a long brain, this kind of thing, men marry women, each has their own willingness, what reason does the empire use to stop it, is there any law that says that the daughter of the Li family cannot marry the son of the Zhang family?"
was reprimanded by the old man, Zhao Tianxing didn't dare to say anything.
The old man is indeed very angry, he has cultivated his son since he was a child, this son still lacks a little vision, and he panics when he encounters something, which is really a little disappointing, compared with Li Shangxie of the Li family in the south, it is indeed inferior, if it is not for the strength of the Beijing family, once it is a head-to-head battle, the son is not the opponent of Li Shangxi.
"You don't care about this matter, just pay attention to it a little, and remember a little, don't do any action, because this matter can't be done. ”
Zhao Tianxing wanted to ask the reason, but he didn't speak, he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would be scolded by the old man.
Fortunately, the old man seemed to know Zhao Tianxing's thoughts, and explained: "The Li family is too anxious to do this, too obvious, as long as it is a person who understands this matter, it can be seen at a glance, this is just one of them, and it will be bad if you are in a hurry, and secondly, they took out the best woman in the family, which was originally a kind of respect for the Zhang family, which is a good thing, but it is a pity that the old man of the Li family seems to have forgotten a little, who is his granddaughter, or to put it directly, his granddaughter is Liu Qingshan's woman." ”
Zhao Tianxing immediately said: "Old man, you don't seem to be right, as far as I know, the Li family girl, as well as Xiaoyu, have a good relationship with Liu Qingshan, but it doesn't seem that anything ambiguous has happened, it doesn't make sense to say that it is Liu Qingshan's woman!"
The old man did not object, but the fact is that neither his granddaughter Zhao Wanyu nor the girl of the Li family, Li Ziyu, had an intimate relationship with Liu Qingshan, but there were some things that he saw farther than ordinary people.
"What you said is not wrong, but there are some things that cannot be judged by right and wrong, I have studied Liu Qingshan, he is a savage, he doesn't understand the ethics of the world, he thinks the right thing, he will do it, even if no one agrees, such a person can let the Li family girl and Xiaoyu live in a small building together, and live for more than a year, do you really think that nothing happened to them?"
"Even if nothing happens now, you can guarantee it in the future, think about it, if Liu Qingshan knew that the girl of the Li family was going to marry someone else, how would he react?"
Zhao Tianxing said: "Since he is a person who doesn't understand ****, then maybe he will be blessed." ”
"Yes, but there is another possibility, he will explode in extreme affection, once he breaks out, who will dare to marry the girl of the Li family? ”
Saying that, the old man smiled lightly and said, "I heard that Xiaoyu is back, I think this time, the two of them are afraid that they have discussed it and want to give Liu Qingshan an excuse to break out." ”
I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, and the old man can deduce the truth of the matter from the return of the two girls at the same time, a little bit of traces.
"Since young people want to play, you let them play well, we adults can watch the play, just watch the play, Tianxing, the affairs of the Li family, you don't care, Xiaoyu's affairs, you don't care, what I said, do you understand?"
"Old man, this-" He doesn't care about the Li family's affairs, he can agree, but Zhao Wanyu is his daughter, and his father cares about his daughter, why can't he?
The old man said angrily: "I said, you don't care about Wanyu's affairs, my old man promised her that her future is up to her to choose, even if the person he chooses to marry is not Liu Qingshan, as long as she is willing, I will approve, and, with your current means, you can't control this matter, don't cause trouble for the Zhao family." ”
Yes, the old man's anger, and a kind of fear and worry.
On the day of the bloody rain in the capital back then, it was like a thunderclap, and it still resounded in the hearts of all the old men of the capital family, and to this day, it has not disappeared.
There are some things with one, there will be two, none of them dare to guarantee that Liu Qingshan will come a second time and provoke a bloody storm in the capital, the best way is not to give him any reason.
For the Zhao family, Zhao Wanyu is a chess piece that maintains a stable relationship between their family and Liu Qingshan, and as long as Liu Qingshan lives, this chess piece must be preserved forever.
Old Man Zhao didn't want his son to be a big deal.
At dinner, Old Man Zhao saw his returning granddaughter, smiling kindly, and with a happy face.
"Xiaoyu, you girl really has no conscience, she has been gone for more than a year, and she didn't come back to see my old man, why, did you really forget your home?"
The old man's attitude towards Zhao Wanyu made the Liu family envious.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I haven't come back to see you for a long time, are you okay?" Although Zhao Wanyu understands the old man's intentions for her, many times it is because of Liu Qingshan's survival, but no matter what, she is a member of the Zhao family, and since she was a child, her grandfather has loved her, and this family affection is indeed commendable and needs to be cherished.
The old man waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, my old man can't die for the time being, how can I say that I haven't seen Xiaoyu get married and have children, and my old man is reluctant to die?"
"Grandpa. Zhao Wanyu's face rose with a shy blush.
"Xiaoyu, you have also grown up, this kind of thing, sooner or later, by the way, how are you getting along with Qingshan, is he okay?"
Zhao Wanyu said: "He's okay, grandpa also knows, I followed Li Ziyu with him, and he seemed to be difficult to decide, so let's leave for the time being, give him a time to think, maybe when Li Ziyu is really engaged, Qingshan may be able to understand, who does he really need, who is the person he likes?"
The old man said: "As far as I know, Liu Qingshan seems to be ignorant of the world, what if he doesn't react?"
Zhao Wanyu had a touch of sadness on her face, and said: "If he really doesn't have a trace of reaction, maybe we will all marry ourselves, since we can't get happiness, then who to marry, what does it matter?"
This sentence was said by Li Ziyu, but Zhao Wanyu also agreed.
The old man said comfortingly: "Xiaoyu, Liu Qingshan is not an ordinary person, nor is he an ordinary person, so it is destined, your relationship will be very hard, and grandpa can't help you, but the Zhao family will always be your dependence, if you are injured and tired, you will come back, the door of the Zhao family has always been open for you." ”
Zhao Wanyu nodded lightly and said, "I know, thank you grandpa." ”
Zhao Tianxing, the father, wanted to say a few words, but when he saw the old man's stern eyes glancing at him, he could only give up.
In fact, as a father, he does not approve of his daughter's choice, in his opinion, in the capital, among the children of the family, there are still many young talents, and they are worthy of their daughters, the power of the family can also be integrated and help, then Liu Qingshan, not only does not work, but is a trouble.
But what the old man decided, even he was helpless, he just hoped that the old man's choice was really not wrong, and his daughter could finally find her own happy home.
