Chapter 230: The Strange Request of the Old Man of the East
"Young Master Yang, please inside, the old man is waiting." An old housekeeper said respectfully to Yang Bufan, and there was a sense of gratitude to Yang Bufan in his expression.
Yang Bufan didn't think much about it, probably because he saved Dongfang Yi's life last time, he smiled and said hello, and then walked into the study of the old man Dongfang Zhen. At this time, only the old man from the East sat alone on the chair in the study, looking at the "Taiji Diagram".
The study of the old man of the East is as simple as the study of Principal Zhao of Zhao Guo, the only difference is that the study of Principal Zhao is all books, and most of the old man of the East are calligraphy and paintings, like a small museum, there are all kinds of precious calligraphy and paintings, and most of them are genuine, and it is estimated that ordinary people can live a leisurely life for a lifetime by selling a pair of them.
"Old man!" Yang Bufan bowed slightly and made a junior salute.
Dongfang Zhen raised his head, even if he sat there casually, there seemed to be a majesty, which made people cramped, he looked at Yang Bufan's face, he was not happy or angry, he was very calm, and it was not like the type who was going to cry and shout if he was wronged just now. He smiled slightly and said, "Sit down." ”
"Yes, old man!" Yang Bufan sat opposite Dongfang Zhen unceremoniously, his eyes were aimed at the "Taiji Diagram Said" that was amazed by others, he didn't look at it when he came just now, and he didn't know what the effect of this calligraphy and painting that could amaze so many people was.
The old man of the East seemed to see his doubts, and explained: "This is the authentic handwriting of Zhou Dunyi's predecessors, this kind of handwriting alone can make people marvel, not to mention the content of this extremely valuable "Taiji Diagram", which falls in the eyes of the masters of the inner family, this is a top-level health exercise, but unfortunately I am old, where can I have time to learn this?" Even if you learn it now, it is estimated that you won't be able to practice any tricks when you enter the coffin, so you won't waste time. ”
Yang Bufan was stunned, but he didn't expect this calligraphy and painting to have such value, but he didn't care, the exercises for health preservation would not have much effect on him, because "Qinglong Jue" is also a top-level exercise, not only for health, but also to enhance internal strength. Regarding the old man's self-deprecation, he replied with a smile: "The old man has strong bones, at least he will live a long life." ”
"If people are old and useless, what is the use of living a long life? It's just to make trouble for your children and grandchildren, and sometimes you don't live that long. The old man sighed, "By the way, it seems that you don't know much about this calligraphy and painting, can you tell me what your relationship with Lao Lan is?" ”
"Lao Lan?" Yang Bufan was confused.
"You don't know?"
Yang Bufan shook his head and said, "Old man, to tell you the truth, this calligraphy and painting was asked by your precious granddaughter to pick it up, and I don't know what Lao Lan is." And I didn't know what you liked before I came, if it wasn't for Sister Yi, I would have come empty-handed today. ”
"My guess is right, you kid is glad you didn't tell a lie."
"......" Yang Bufan rolled his eyes, do these old guys like to set up tricks for others so much? If you don't tell the truth, will you be blasted out by Dongfang Zhen right away?
"It's hard for Xiaoyi's girl." Dongfang Zhen's face became complicated, he had no regrets about receiving such a gift for his eightieth birthday, "Don't go and say this to Xiaoyi, let me be a fool." ”
"Why?" Yang Bufan was even more puzzled.
"Because this is a big gift from her, and we've all received a big gift, wouldn't it be better to pretend to be a fool? If you expose her good intentions, you will be swept away from her kindness. ”
"Well, it's okay to pretend to be a fool." Yang Bufan smiled, but sighed in his heart: These two granddaughters are really strange, and it can be said that they can be so well-intentioned.
"By the way, will you blame me for not helping you out there just now?" Dongfang Zhen asked in a deep voice.
"Didn't the old man already help me?" Yang Bufan laughed, he understood Dongfang Zhen's intentions, it was estimated that it was to test his ability to deal with problems, if he left Dongfang's family, and did not accept the apology of the Wang Fan family, it is estimated that this old guy would not see him.
Sometimes the opportunity is fleeting, and it is definitely not okay to be pushy. After all, the people of the Wang Fan family were pulled up by Dongfang Zhen, how could they say that they would withdraw? This is just for outsiders to see, the purpose is to let others know that he Dongfang Zhen admires Yang Bufan.
"Hahaha, you little guy can do this, and it won't cost me a piece of hard work, today's young people are becoming more and more useless and snobbish. Xiaoyi is a daughter after all, and the burden of the entire Dongfang family will fall on her in the future, this burden is really heavy, originally I couldn't bear to watch her take over the burden of the Dongfang family, but there is no successor, so naturally I can work more. ”
Dongfang Zhen sighed and said, and this is a heart-wrenching word, he only mentioned these words to Zhao Ce, the head of the Zhao family, not even his granddaughter Dongfang Yi. But at this time, Yang Bufan's whole body was suddenly shocked when he heard this, he may have understood what the old man Dongfang was going to say next.
"Your intelligence and strength are impressive, Xiaoyi can have a friend like you, and it will be easier to control the entire Dongfang family in the future." Dongfang Zhen continued, "Can you grant me a request for this old fellow? ”
"The old man just said!" Yang Bufan also got up.
"Don't be an enemy of the Dongfang family in the future!" Dongfang Zhen's face suddenly became solemn.
"Huh?" Yang Bufan was completely stunned, this Dongfang Zhen's request was beyond the scope of his guess, and he thought that he was trying to help Dongfang Yi.
"I don't ask you how to help the Dongfang family in the future, I just ask you not to be an enemy of the Dongfang family." Dongfang Zhen emphasized again.
Yang Bufan thought about it, this request didn't seem too much, Dongfang Yi was his friend, but also a woman, it seemed that he didn't need to be an enemy of Dongfang Yi, so he said sincerely: "I promise the old man!" ”
"Good! I hope you remember what you said. Dongfang Zhen said with a solemn face, whether he is a friend or not in the future, but as long as he is not an enemy, Yang Bufan's strength in the future will not threaten the Dongfang family. Because he is a person who re-commits, he believes that Yang Bufan is also a re-committed person.
"Sir, the banquet is ready to begin." The old butler walked in and said in a respectful voice.
"Haha, let's go, let's go to the banquet!" Dongfang Zhen stood up with a hearty smile, but when he saw Yang Bufan's resentful face, he suddenly asked angrily, "Do you want to do something?" ”
Yes, Yang Bufan really wants something good, after all, this Dongfang family has a big business, and he has agreed to a request, and he still wants to ask for the Dongfang family's exercises, but the relationship is too big, and he is embarrassed to speak.
"What did the old man say, am I that kind of person?" Yang Bufan immediately denied himself.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you want the exercises of the four major families, right? There are no doors. Dongfang Zhen stretched his face, "If you are greedy, you can't chew it, wait until you learn the "Green Dragon Jue" and "White Tiger Jue" well." ”
"What?" Yang Bufan was suddenly shocked, this old man actually knew that he had learned "White Tiger Jue"? Will you know that you are the thief who stole into the Long family's compound?
