Chapter Eighty-Nine
After hearing this, the old man seemed to have reacted that he had misunderstood something, and suddenly his sword eyebrows were raised and he was about to open his mouth to find a place for the cranky thinking just now. It's just that before the old man could speak, Zhao Baiyun had already spoken, "Old man, I want to say something about Ashao?" Are you sure you want to give me a lecture first? ”
"Okay, you stinky boy, you dare to threaten me with an old man. Excuse me, you? Even if you want to tell you about Ashao, I will give you a lecture first. Seeing that Zhao Baiyun was still thinking about joking, the old man understood that Xu Shao probably didn't have any major incidents, at least he was alive and well. Since this is the case, let's just teach this stinky boy who doesn't respect the old man and always likes to make him angry.
"Tell me about you, ah, you don't respect the old and love the young at all. Over the years, I have learned how to quarrel with the old man and make the old man angry? The lesson abroad is not good, or our domestic is good, Ashao is a filial piety, unlike you and the boy of the Shen family! I learned a bad stinky problem, and I also lost the good character of respecting the old and loving the young of the ancestral religion. ......, "The old man has said a lot, and Zhao Baiyun rarely sits there honestly and lets the old man count it, which is really rare."
It's just that what's going on with the constant complaining in my heart?
Old man, your Ashao also grew up abroad, or is it with us, why is your Ashao a good one? When else did you stop respecting the old and loving the young? Isn't it just the occasional bickering with you? If you don't quarrel with you, maybe you will say something about not waiting to see the old man at that time, and you don't want to talk with the old man for a while. So, it's really hard to serve the old man or something, and he's the demon king of the world like a child. It's just that it's not as skinny as children, and they cause trouble everywhere, and the others are just as good as children, or even worse. Zhao Baiyun pursed his lips in his heart, and then thought very happily: Ah, fortunately, my father is still young and not at the age of nagging, otherwise he would definitely not be able to stay by his father's side for so long. Although it is more about learning how to operate the Zhao family.
Zhao Baiyun picked up a cup of warm tea and handed it to the old man, his expression did not change and he didn't even nod in agreement with the old man's words, saying that what the old man said was, "Old man, after talking for so long, you can take a sip of tea first and then continue." ”
The old man stretched out his hand to take the tea handed by Zhao Baiyun, and he didn't drink it, and he didn't drink it. Drink it, everyone is interested in handing you tea to make amends, and it's a bit bad to continue, but it's really unwilling to let it go; Don't drink it, after talking about it for so long, he is indeed a little thirsty, and for a while the old man is holding a cup of tea, neither advancing nor retreating.
The old man glanced at Zhao Baiyun amusedly, and finally drank the cup of tea. After putting down the teacup, Zhao Baiyun added another cup to the old man. The old man just took the tea and didn't drink it anymore.
"You kid... It's the same fine as Qinghan's girl, but I still like that girl better. That girl is intimate, and she will make food for my old man, you, it's useless except to fight with me. It is said that 'raising children to prevent old age', if you want me to say, it is better to raise a girl to be intimate. The old man sighed, but Zhao Baiyun did not answer. He knew that the old man was just talking, maybe he liked Zhao Qinghan in his heart, but the old man was still proud of his children and grandchildren.
The old man took a sip of tea before getting to the point.
"Anyway, what's going on? Why did you come out alone in the trial you accepted together, and neither Ah Shao nor the Shen family boy was nowhere to be seen. The old man didn't pay attention to anything else, he really wanted to know what happened to Xu Shao and what he was doing.
"Since you've asked, old man, I'm too embarrassed not to say it." Zhao Baiyun sighed in resignation, and then said: "Actually, I don't want to talk about such a shameful thing at all. But in order to explain your doubts to the old man, I'll say it. But old man, you have to promise me not to spread this word all over the place. Zhao Baiyun still wanted a guarantee, and after receiving the old man's nod and reassurance, he spoke: "Actually, it's not because of anything else." The three of us did go through a lot of dangers during the trial, but we all survived. They have all passed the test! But the only reason why I showed up was to divert the attention of the outside world, and our three goals were too big. It's all gone, and it's bound to arouse suspicion from others, so the only one who is still awake is that I feel like I'm going to come out first to stabilize those who are cranky. Well, these two are..."
Zhao Baiyun hesitated, but he still didn't feel a little embarrassed to say it, but seeing the old man's attitude of "I won't give up if you don't explain", Zhao Baiyun had to bite the bullet and say the root cause, "Actually, it's nothing, probably angry." "The muttering is extremely vague.
"What?" The old man didn't mean it, but he really didn't hear it clearly.
Zhao Baiyun glanced at the old man angrily, and then said resignedly: "It's because of anger!" I always felt that I was targeted at the beginning, so I refused to bow my head in anger, so I was not taken away by that senior. "Word by word, bite the words clearly.
Zhao Baiyun thought that he would be ridiculed by the old man, he was ready to be ridiculed by the old man, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't wait for the old man's laughter. Zhao Baiyun looked at the old man suspiciously, but the old man looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something. Zhao Baiyun did not disturb the old man, but poured tea and drank tea by himself until the old man came back to his senses.
"It's okay, it's okay." The old man muttered repeatedly, and then looked at Zhao Baiyun, who was drinking tea leisurely, and he also lost this kid to be thoughtful, otherwise there might really be some chaos in this B city. "I didn't say you, Bai Yun..." the old man said earnestly.
"Yes, old man." Zhao Baiyun put down the teacup in his hand and listened carefully to the old man's teachings.
"I think you said that the man didn't take him away maybe for this reason, and the other reason is that you kid is too proud." The old man waved his hand and interrupted Zhao Baiyun's words that he wanted to defend himself, "You listen to me first." In fact, I think it's okay if you are an ordinary person, you are proud, after all, your surname is Zhao, you grew up in the Zhao family, and you have the capital of pride. However, it is obvious that you will not follow the path of ordinary people in the future, so your proud nature must be unacceptable. Although I don't know what the world of cultivation is like, my old man has lived so long in his life, and he can understand some simple truths: 'The law of the jungle eats the strong, the fittest survives'! Everything in the world is according to this law, and if this is the case, if you cultivate the truth, I think it is not much worse. ”
"Sometimes, you have to fight for what you should fight, but don't fight when you shouldn't. Taoguang is obscure, which does not mean that you are inferior to others, but that you can bear it better than others. The truth of 'shooting the first bird with a gun', Bai Yun, you should understand. Maybe it's because something happened that made you stubborn. But I always knew that you were a smart one, otherwise Ah Shao and that kid from the Shen family would not faintly take you as the leader. I don't want to say anything else, I think you should understand those big truths too. Bai Yun, let me tell you a sentence that my old man has remembered all his life, 'The wood is alone in the forest and the wind will destroy it'. The old man admonished Zhao Baiyun earnestly, there is no big reason, no big culture, only earnest teachings.
Zhao Baiyun also had a teachable expression, thinking that he had taken the old man's words to heart. At the same time, he was also reflecting on whether the days were too smooth, which led to a deviation in his consciousness. In fact, he shouldn't have been so stubborn at the beginning, and it is not a shame to bow to the strong, because he will always grow and become the strong man who once made him bow his head, or even surpass the strong. However, blindly following one's own temperament, failing to recognize one's own shortcomings and weaknesses, and being arrogant, is a big taboo. He Zhao Baiyun committed this taboo, fortunately the old man woke him up, otherwise he might have gone further on this road, and he might have lost relatives, friends and lovers at that time.
"Thank you, old man, 'Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years'. If it weren't for the old man who woke me up today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have realized my mistake until I died. The so-called heaven outside the sky, there are people outside the people, I am blind, thank you, old man. Zhao Baiyun sincerely thanked the old man, and conducted self-examination and self-awareness.
The old man saw that his words woke up Zhao Baiyun, and he was very satisfied, and his face was full of relieved smiles, it seemed that the old man was very satisfied with Zhao Baiyun. The old man thought to himself: The two of the Zhao family are good, they can be understood at one point, and their temperament is also excellent. It's just this eccentric temperament....but it's the loss of this weird temperament that makes his old man not so boring, and the life of someone bickering is life.
The old man got the news he wanted, and also persuaded Zhao Baiyun, the purpose of coming to the Zhao family's old house today was achieved, and the old man got up and prepared to leave.
"Alright, since my purpose has been achieved, then I will go back first. It's just Bai Yun, you have to apologize to that senior at that time, otherwise you will have to suffer in the future. You have to understand that it is everyone's instinct to pay tribute to the strong, but that doesn't mean you're going to be weak forever. The old man picked up the crutches that he had put aside, and prepared to get up and leave.
Zhao Baiyun hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, and sincerely retained his mouth: "Old man, why don't you just have lunch here and then go back." Fresh ingredients have just been delivered today, and the kitchen is already working on them. It's rare for you to come once, old man, so let me do my best to be a landlord. ”
The old man waved his hand, "No, no, I'll go back." It's inconvenient for you yourself, and you still have a landlord's friendship with me, this Zhao family, I'm much more familiar than you. I think back then, when I was in and out of the Zhao family, you weren't born yet. ”
Zhao Baiyun saw that the old man insisted on leaving, so he also got up, and pretended to be sorry and said: "Since this is the case, then the old man I will not keep you." I heard that today just sent a new one from the garden for a long time, named cherry blossom brew, originally called the old man you stay to taste, since you insist on leaving, then this cherry blossom brew can only be put away. ”
After the old man heard Zhao Baiyun's words, especially after hearing the three words of cherry blossom brewing, the firm pace of the original step was a little shaken, and when he heard the end, the old man was already moved, and when he heard that Zhao Baiyun was going to put the cherry blossom brew, the gluttony in the old man's heart said that he couldn't stop anything.
"Hey....Wine, it's for drinking. Well, I'm not going to leave today, so I'll have a couple of drinks with you. But what is this cherry blossom brew? Why didn't I hear that girl mention it? ”
The old man swallowed his saliva as he spoke, while Zhao Baiyun, who was holding the old man, pretended not to see it. After hearing the old man's words, he dutifully acted as a commentator: "Actually, I don't know very well, I heard that it is newly made." Aren't the early cherry blossoms blooming on this mountain? The people on the other side of the garden picked the cherry blossoms, and used the codex left by Qinghan to brew a few jars of cherry blossoms, which was only good yesterday. I sent an altar today, and it just so happened that you were not in a hurry, old man. ”
The old man laughed and said, "Hehehe, isn't it a coincidence? But what about the craftsmanship of those people? ”
"I don't know, it's all idle and boring. If it's the first time you do it, it's definitely not as good as Qinghan's doing. Zhao Baiyun nodded affirmatively, and then continued: "When Qinghan comes back, let her do it again for the old man." It's just that at that time, it was not the early cherry blossoms, but the late cherry blossoms. Maybe there will be peach blossoms. ”
"Hahahaha, okay. When Qinghan's girl comes back, my old man will ask her to make an altar for my old man even if she is shy. After the old man heard Zhao Baiyun's words, he also laughed, and quite agreed with Zhao Baiyun's words, "Qinghan's girl's craftsmanship is really good, I made a meal for my old man last time, and I still think about it tightly." And those wines...."
"Indeed, my appetite has been fed by Qinghan." Zhao Baiyun nodded in agreement.
After the old man heard Zhao Baiyun's words, he suddenly sighed. Zhao Baiyun didn't know why, or asked knowingly: "Why is the old man sighing?" ”
"You stinky boy....why am I sighing, you don't know?" The old man asked with a smile.
"How can I guess the old man's thoughts?"
"You can't guess? You're about to become a roundworm in my old man's belly, and you still say you can't guess. ”
"Don't compare me to that disgusting mollusk, old man. I really don't know what you're sighing, old man, but suddenly I sighed, and I'm still confused. ”
"Actually, I originally wanted to match Qinghan's girl and Ah Shao together. That girl has my eyes, Ashao and her are not much different in age, and the two are also equal. It's just that I didn't expect someone to strike first. I thought that Qinghan's girl was unwilling, but thinking about that girl's temperament, who can force her? I think it's mostly voluntary. I originally wanted to ask Ah Shao to rob people, but after knowing that it was you, I stopped thinking about it. ”
"Thanks to the old man, otherwise maybe Ashao will succeed."
"You stinky boy, what kind of character does Ashao have, you don't know?! Now that Qinghan is already with you, Ah Shao will definitely not have other thoughts about Qinghan's girl. ”
"It's all old man, you teach it well, aren't you?"
Zhao Baiyun and the old man chatted one by one, from the study to the living room, and finally took out the chessboard. The old man proposed that it was still early, and that he could kill a game and then eat.
Zhao Baiyun was no match for the old man, so he had to play chess with the old man. Just looking at the sharp eyes and movements, it is obvious that he does not plan to release the water. Maybe it was just now that the old man said that he wanted to encourage his brother to pry his corner, which made Zhao Baiyun feel uncomfortable. Since you can't find the field openly elsewhere, then you can only see the real chapter on the chessboard. (To be continued.) )
