Zhao Hongxing turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard, and the juniors who came to visit him had to stop.

The backyard is a forbidden area, and if Zhao Hongxing said that it was scattered, they could only disperse.

Zhao Bing nodded at Zhao Xishui and said, "I'm sorry for my aunt." ”

"Linlin also calls me aunt, and I should take care of her." Zhao Xishui took Qin Lin's hand and walked to the backyard as well.

The backyard of the Zhao family is similar to the courtyard of many ordinary peasant families in the north, a few dead trees with lost leaves, not a peculiar variety, are very common, the yard dam is cleaned very clean, a chair, a small coffee table, and a pot of tea, on which a pair of chess pieces are placed.

Five or six rooms, all ordinary. Zhao Xishui took Qin Linlin into one of the rooms, and Zhao Bing took a look, which was next door to his previous room.

In the hall, there are two Taishi chairs and several coffee tables, all of which are carved from mahogany, antique, and do not look precious, but they are very charming.

The seat of the Taishi chair faces south, and there is a painting hanging on the wall behind it, which is written by the old lady himself, and it has been more than ten years.

"Home and everything is prosperous."

It's a few simple words, but it's very well written.

On weekdays, Zhao Hongxing sat on the Taishi chair countless times, reprimanding or teaching some juniors, but he did not sit in his usual position today, but sat on a set of mahogany chairs at the bottom, and then motioned for Zhao Bing to sit beside him.

Tightening the padded jacket on his body, Zhao Hongxing coughed non-stop, which was much more serious than before.

Zhao Bing was a little nervous and kept patting his back.

Zhao Hongxing finally stopped, suddenly sighed, and said: "The climate of Yanjing is really angry, it is obviously summer, but the snow suddenly falls, making people sick and cold, it is really not good, but this kind of climate, since the founding of the country, is not the first time, I remember that fifty years ago, Yanjing also snowed in June." ”

I don't know what the old lady meant by this, Zhao Bing didn't speak.

"That year, your grandmother gave birth to your father." Zhao Hongxing's face had a smile of remembrance.

Zhao Bing wanted to speak and stopped.

"If you have something to say, you can open your heart in front of me." Zhao Hongxing waved his hand.

Zhao Bing didn't have the slightest smile on his face, and frowned: "Grandpa's body is not as good as before, you don't have a cold." ”

Zhao Hongxing was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being a student of Hades, and he really has some ability, grandpa is ninety this year, and he is tired of living, this life should have been lost decades ago, fortunately, your teacher saved my life, renewed my life, and let me live for so many more years, and now the old disease has recurred, and there is no possibility of cure, people, you always have to serve the old, now that I know that you are still alive and can see you, I am satisfied, and you don't have to worry too much." ”

"Even he can't cure you?" Zhao Bing bit his lip and asked with some difficulty.

In his mouth, he is naturally the king of Hades.

Hades is his teacher, not only teaching him martial arts, but also teaching him medical skills, and the reason why Hades is called Hades is for two reasons, one is that he once killed people like hemp, as if urging Yama, and the other is that he has superb medical skills and can save the dead, which is equivalent to the Hades who sentence people to life and death.

Hence the name.

After so many years of wandering the world, Zhao Bing has never seen a doctor with the superb medical skills of the king of Hades, and in his mind, the king of Hades is the current Hua Tuo.

Now, even Hades has nothing to do about his grandfather's illness, which shows that the truth really can't be changed, which makes him sad.

The Zhao family is his home, the Zhao family has his relatives, and the old man in front of him is one of his most respected and beloved family members.

He didn't want Zhao Hongxing to be sick, there was an old man in the family, and if there was a treasure, he hoped that his grandfather could live a long life.

Seeing Zhao Bing's emotions, the old lady smiled and comforted: "Who has not died in life since ancient times, keep Dan to take care of the sweat and sweat, you see how good the ancients said, grandpa has been bumps and bumps in his life, although he can't talk about how beautiful, but he has no regrets, people always have to be old, and they will die, don't you still see it?" ”

"I think grandpa can live a few more years." Zhao Bing smiled reluctantly.

Zhao Hongxing laughed loudly: "Grandpa naturally wants to live a few more years, I still want to hold my great-grandson, our old Zhao family and the old Wang family, in your generation finally came out of two decent talents, you and Ruo Yu really come together, give birth to a baby, it is estimated that it will be a genius again, I am looking forward to it!" ”

Zhao Bing was speechless for a moment, speechless, and his face was a little bitter.

"I had someone come back with a few cases of wine." Zhao Bing changed the subject.

Zhao Hongxing waved his hand: "There is no shortage of good wine in our family." ”

"This wine is different, I made it myself." Zhao Bing said frankly.

In the past few years abroad, he will make some wine when he has nothing to do, drink it himself, and invite others to drink it, but he has never been willing to drink the best wine.

Zhao Hongxing has two good things in his life, one is belligerent, and the other is good wine.

When he was young, Zhao Hongxing relied on his courage and warlikeness to fight his way out of hundreds of millions of people, and survived countless times in the sea of swords, mountains and fires, so that he would have his current status and the prosperity of the Zhao family.

But now that it was a time of peace, no matter how warlike it was, it was useless, and his only hobby was wine.

It is not an exaggeration to say that alcohol is like life.

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Hongxing immediately smiled and boasted: "You still know my old prince's heart, you have this filial piety, I am satisfied, I accept this wine." ”

Zhao Bing scratched his head a little embarrassed: "The wine will not be able to be airlifted to Yanjing until tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, there will be a chance to drink in the future, your teacher said, I will live for another five or six years, and there is still a lot of hope." Zhao Hongxing didn't care, and laughed heartily.

Fearless of life and death, calm and calm, the old lady's attitude is very free.

The grandfather and grandson chatted about some family matters, and finally talked about the old things from a few years ago.

Zhao Hongxing said in a sullen voice: "When you had an accident, if it wasn't for those few people to stop me, I almost didn't tear down your station, hmph, the old guy of the Dragon King is still a good acquaintance, and he personally came to the door to plead guilty, I-forget it, you go to see your teacher in a while, he doesn't talk much in his life, but the person he cares about the most in his heart is still you, a few years ago, he fought with the Dragon King for three days and three nights, and finally both of them were lying in bed for a few months, it is estimated that he was also injured, fortunately, you are still alive, if he can see you, he will be very happy." ”

Nodding, Zhao Bing said, "I'll go see him in a while." ”

"You didn't see your second uncle at the airport?" Zhao Hongxing asked.

Zhao Bing shook his head: "No." ”

"I asked him to pick you up with Bangguo."

Zhao Bing frowned slightly, and said: "I still like my aunt to pick me up, besides, I just came back to kowtow to your old man to celebrate his birthday, how can I have someone to pick him up, he is my elder, how can I afford this welcome?" ”

Zhao Hongxing sighed in his heart: "Have you investigated everything back then?" ”

"No, the mastermind behind the scenes did things cleanly, and I have no proof." Zhao Bing hesitated for a moment, and finally told a small lie.

"I have also investigated, and it is true that there is no strong evidence and clues." Zhao Hongxing said: "What happened in the past, let him pass." ”

"How can you say forget what happened?" Zhao Bing said: "My life was exchanged for their lives by several of my comrades-in-arms, including my best brother in life and death, Linlin's brother, which is why I want to recognize Linlin as my sister, in fact, I never thought that the family would recognize her, I think, there should be many people who are dissatisfied with this matter, and grandpa may not let her stay in the old mansion." ”

Zhao Hongxing said movingly: "Her brother saved you with his own life, how can the Zhao family not repay this favor?" Even if he can't pay it back, in that life, our Zhao family owes him, he is dead, his sister is still alive, and he deserves the courtesy of our old Zhao family, this is the foundation of our Zhao family, the grievances are clear, and they know how to repay the favor, there is no problem with this, forgive them and dare not chew their tongues. ”

"But I don't want to accept this favor." Zhao Bing sighed.

He was telling the truth.

After many years, Zhao Hongxing still spoils him, but as the head of the family, he has been in charge of the behemoth of the Zhao family for many years, and Zhao Hongxing has his own difficulties.

All along, Zhao Hongxing has been giving Zhao Bing some compensation.

For example, let Zhao Bing's second uncle and his family go to the airport to welcome his return in a high-profile manner, such as taking the initiative to accept Qin Lin into Zhao's house, and even letting Qin Lin have his own room in the inner courtyard of the old mansion, where he can come and go freely.

The Zhao family's old house is not easy to enter, and the inner courtyard is even more difficult, to outsiders, Zhao Sihai is very eccentric, but Zhao Bing doesn't think so.

The reason why Grandpa did this was because of the development of the family.

He didn't want civil strife in his family, which would give many people an opportunity.

The Zhao family has been in business for decades, and only then does it have today's scenery and scale, and once there is civil strife, it will definitely make those enemies find opportunities on weekdays, and Zhao Sihai does not want to give this kind of opportunity to others.

Home and everything is prosperous.

Just like the words he wrote, he wanted his family to be harmonious and prosperous in all things.

Zhao Sihai sighed and said, "Xiaobing, you are still the same you, and you haven't changed at all." ”

"Some things, such as personality, can never be changed, if they change, then I will no longer be your grandson, I think, some things in my bones, maybe from heredity, I have always been proud of, and it is also regarded as the creed and criterion of life." Zhao Bing replied.

Zhao Sihai's old face was a little hot, and suddenly he was a little angry, he really wanted to scold, what he wanted to scold was naturally the second son's family, but he couldn't scold after all, and after a while, he sighed: "The Zhao family can have today, not by me alone, but by all the people of the Zhao family, your older generation, your father is my pride, but unfortunately your mother died early - your aunt has the ability and is known as the queen of business, your second uncle has the title of Zhihu, they all have the ability to take over the big stall of the Zhao family, but they are no longer young, The Zhao family will have to count on your generation in the future, then your generation is about you and Bangguo, although he is not as good as you, but his performance in the past few years is acceptable, barely passing, everyone is a family after all, what do you want grandpa to do? ”

"Grandpa doesn't have to do anything." Zhao Bing smiled bitterly: "Why do you have to do something?" ”

"If you come back, the Zhao family will let you take over sooner or later." Zhao Sihai was ruthless, made up his mind, and promised.

Zhao Bing shook his head with a smile: "Grandpa, thank you for your attention, but my thoughts, my aunt should have talked to you." ”

"Why do you have to take so many detours, you know, this road is very hard, now is not as good as before, there were opportunities everywhere, as long as you have courage and knowledge, you can succeed, now, there are difficulties everywhere, there are too few opportunities, and there are fewer opportunities for success." Zhao Hongxing persuaded hard.

Zhao Bing was unmoved.

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and finally could only divert the topic, talk about some family life, and talk about the customs of a foreign country.

Not long after, a servant came in and said that Zhao Bing's second uncles, Zhao Wanxiong and Zhao Bangguo, had returned and were now waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

Zhao Hongxing glanced at Zhao Bing, then looked at the servant, his eyes became a little unkind, and said, "Let them get in!" ”
