Chapter 402, Sword of Smodacus!
Parvis. ββ West Wing.
This is the room where Jiang Keren has lived since childhood. As soon as she entered the house and was about to close the door and go to the bathroom, Jiang Keqing hurriedly rushed in from behind. Jiang Keren was slightly frightened.
"Crazy. I don't know when I'll grow up. Jiang Keren said reproachfully.
"Yes, yes. I'm crazy. Your son is the most honest and steady. Is that okay? Jiang Keqing shook off the small black leather shoes under his feet, let them scatter messily around the carpet, and then threw his soft body on the leather sofa in the room, and said with a smile: "Happy, right?" Happy, right? Happiness blooms in your heart, right? As soon as you come out, you go into your own house, do you want to hide somewhere and have fun? Hehe, I'm just here to see the pitiful little ones when you want to laugh and deliberately put on a straight face. β
"Why do I have a straight face when I want to laugh?" Jiang Keren asked.
"Because you're embarrassed to laugh. Because you're worried that people will say you're getting carried away. Jiang Keqing said with a big grin, and every sentence poked at the hearts of others. If you want me to say it. Laugh when you want. Whose son hurts, what's wrong? You didn't see the fifth sister-in-law, their Jiang Rulong is a little better, and she usually walks with such momentum. As if her son was the emperor and she became the queen, you laughed too. And laugh. I also have to go up to my fifth sister-in-law and laugh. Who let our family Tang Zhong trample his son under his feet? β
Jiang Keren wanted to laugh, but he was a little worried, and said, "What do you say that grandpa wants to say when he left Tang Chong alone?" β
"What else could it be?" Jiang Keqing said. "Maybe it's to let Tang Chong return. Few of these grandchildren of the Jiang family are promising, and it is possible for Tang Chong to come back to the glorious lintel. If the great-grandson can't do it, then the great-grandson will go out. β
"Not really." Jiang Keren shook his head. "If Grandpa had this thought, at that moment just now, he announced it on the spot, and the matter would be a foregone conclusion, and no one could change it. By not doing so, he proves that he had other ideas. β
Jiang Keqing has been busy being happy for Tang Chong, feeling that Tang Chong is relieved of what he has done, and he really hasn't thought about this matter deeply.
Now after Jiang Keren's reminder, she also has a reminiscence. said: "The old lady is unwilling to let Tang come back? β
"Possibly."
"Why? I'll talk to the old lady again. Jiang Keqing said hurriedly.
"Don't go." Jiang Keren grabbed Jiang Keqing's hand. "Don't go."
"What? You don't want your son back, do you? β
"Listen to Tang Chong." Jiang Keren said. "I'm sure he'll be able to handle this."
"Yes." Jiang Keqing sighed and sat back again: "This kid is simply a monster, there is nothing he doesn't understand." You said that a young child who has not grown all his hair can write calligraphy so well? Oh, to say that his hair is not growing is wronging him, this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp when it comes to women. Better than his father. β
"How did you do it, auntie?" Jiang Ke said angrily. "Did you talk like that?"
"Look at you, don't you like it? When I praised your son to heaven, you didn't say a word of objection, but you were busy smirking at me, and as soon as I said that he was not good, you immediately jumped out to object. Too partial, right? β

Old lady Jiang looked serious, looked at Tang Chong with electric eyes, and looked at Tang Chong's eyes. As if to see through him and see through his internal organs.
It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and it is said that the eyes are the least deceiving.
In fact, this statement is wrong. Eyes are the most deceiving.
For example, the eyes of the old lady are pure and divine when they first see it, like a newborn baby. Now it is sharp and profound, as if it hides hundreds of years of Jinghua smoke and clouds in the past.
Being stared at with such a pair of eyes in such a posture, Tang Zhong also felt a little pressure.
Get back?
Not going back?
"What is there to hesitate about? Didn't you make your own decision a long time ago? Tang Zhong thought in his heart.
The decision was made, and the invisible pressure disappeared suddenly.
Only then did Tang Chong understand that it was not the old lady's eyes that put pressure on him, but the pressure on people who made this decision.
The feeling of being decided by someone is the most stressful thing.
In the past, the bearded man's future and fate and even life and death were manipulated by others, so he was aggrieved and aggrieved.
He is the life inheritance of the bearded man, and it is impossible for him to re-follow the path that his father has already walked. What the bearded man didn't think about and didn't do before, let yourself spend your whole life to complete it.
"Of course it's back." Tang Zhong said with a smile. "Grandpa lives a long life, I'll come back to talk and chat with you if it's okay, please help me correct the stickers."
If you come back when you have nothing to do, that is to say, 'not coming back'.
"Alas. I already knew your answer. Old lady Jiang said with a smile: "Seek fame and fortune, but you don't want to ask for people." Didn't you already make it clear in the couplet? Don't ask for help. β
"It's just talking, when something happens, I still have to run back to find grandpa to move the rescuers." Tang Zhong said.
"What are you going to do?"
"A girl told me" Tang re-remembered Su Shan's beautiful and lonely face, and said: "She said, let me build my own wealthy family." β
"Good. Good. The old lady called two good words again. Because of the excitement, his face was a little flushed.
Tang Zhong hurriedly walked to the back to give him a good breath, if the old lady suddenly passed by when only the two of them were together, I am afraid he would become a sinner of the Jiang family.
"What a bold female doll, such an ambitious Tang boy." Old lady Jiang stretched out her hand and grabbed the rattan chair and chair, and said loudly: "Tang Chong, you are even better than what I saw." β
Tang laughed heavily and said, "That is, I dare to say it in front of my grandfather." Others asked me that I would never say anything about it, or they would have thought I was crazy. β
Old lady Jiang patted the back of Tang Chong's hand, motioned for him to sit in front, and said, "What do you think of Jiang Rulong?" β
"Clever and forbearing." Tang Zhong replied without hesitation.
"Not bad. Jiang Rulong is a good man in the Jiang family, smart and forbearing, and a good seedling. However, as you commented, he is good at drawing tigers, but the pattern is not enough, if he can draw the majestic mountains you said, then I will die. Old lady Jiang commented with a regretful face.
I'm afraid Jiang Rulong will never know that he is such an image in the heart of Mrs. Jiang.
The pattern is not enough, this comment is too deadly.
"Of course. He is still young, and if a few young people give him some encouragement and send him out to sharpen for a few more years, maybe there is still room for development. There are no natural politicians. Only natural officials. Old lady Jiang said. What about Jiang Ruhu? β
"If you are wise and foolish, you will not have enough confidence." Tang Zhong said.
"Good review. If you are wise and foolish, you will not have enough confidence. "Old lady Jiang patted the case with her hands." Ruhu is smart, but he always shows a naΓ―ve attitude. This really makes people look at the man who is tired of my Jiang family, smart is smart, powerful is powerful, what kind of fool is hiding and pretending? He's like a dragon and he's going to be a disappointment. β
Tang Zhong sighed softly in his heart.
With the old lady at the age of ninety, what kind of person has not been seen, and what kind of mind cannot be guessed. The two brothers Jiang Rulong and Jiang Ruhu are really wonderful, you ran to this old fox to act, didn't you get kicked in the head by a donkey?
"He's young, too." Tang Zhong said.
"Yes. He was also young. Old lady Jiang said with a smile. When I was younger, I wasn't as good as them. β
"With Grandpa's ear and face, they will definitely make rapid progress." Tang Zhong said.
"Tigers in captivity are inferior to wolves. I understand that. When and what era are we? What era is it now? We were trying to get our heads up on the waistband of our trousers. What about them? They were all born in the blessed nest, and they all lost their ambition and wildness. The law of the cong applies in officialdom as it does in shopping malls. The strong survive, and the weak are eliminated, I'm afraid they will be eliminated. β
Tang Zhong smiled and did not respond.
This is the Jiang family's private matter, will their Jiang family's descendants be eliminated and their own?
Old Lady Jiang naturally knew Tang Chong's thoughts, and said, "I'm really glad to hear this news. Build your own wealthy family, and this will boost your spirit. Although the road is bumpy, if it succeeds, it will be a great blessing for future generations. Why can't the Tang family be a wealthy family? Why cling to someone else's existence? Why look at other people's faces? β
"That's what I thought too." Don laughed heavily.
"Good. I don't advise you to come back. Old lady Jiang said. I advise you not to come back. This family, if they don't fight for themselves, then they deserve to decline, Tang Chong, you remember, try not to accept the help of the Jiang family. That's sugar-coated cannonballs, and if you accept it, they'll find ways to turn you into a vassal of the Jiang family. Even if you can hold on, however, when you have a conflict with the Jiang family, you will have some scruples and considerations, remember that you can have friends, but everyone may be your opponent. β
Tang Chong's face was solemn, nodded solemnly, and said, "I understand." β
"In this way," the old lady Jiang thought for a while and said, "The first time we met, my old man didn't have any gifts to give. I'll give you another exam question. β
"What's the question?" Tang Zhong asked.
Soon, Tang Zhong knew the answer.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Jiang proposed that Tang Chong return to the Jiang family.
Seeing everyone's murderous eyes, Tang Zhong knew the weight of this exam question.
The old lady regarded him as a sword, a sword of Smodex that hung high above the heads of many children of the Jiang family.
