240 Meet
The old man was also watching Deng Changnian.
After a long time, the momentum on his body was a little more restrained, and he said to Deng Changnian: "Sit down and talk." ”
Deng Changnian hasn't even seen the ceremony. It is even more impossible to have already narrated family affection. But this old man doesn't seem to really regard him as his junior bloodline, and his attitude is actually very peaceful. Peaceful to the point of being somewhat detached.
Deng Changnian made a senior salute and sat down in silence.
"Since you have found it, it means that you are willing to accept the assistance of the Hou Mansion, and from now on, in the name of the grandchildren of the Mingyi Hou Mansion, you will gain a foothold in the army." The old man looked at Deng Changnian, and he didn't know whether he was satisfied or what, and said, "It's good that you didn't ask me as soon as you came up." ”
"Because I'm not going to make excuses."
Deng Chang's silence made the old man explain the past: "Back then, your grandmother insisted on marrying your grandfather, and the entire Houfu did not agree, especially me. And she is obviously such a person who is smart and resolute, has a military strategy, and is even stronger than me in martial arts, but she died soon after getting married! She actually died like that, she was really incompetent and failed to the extreme! It's just a black touch on her own past exploits! ”
A flush welled up on the old man's face, obviously very excited and angry!
That's a kind of anger that the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment! It is also a kind of anger that the deeper the love, the more hatred becomes!
She is such an outstanding person, like a phoenix in the sky! But he died in a thatch! How can this make one forgive her!
With her ability, she could have burned the entire thatch upside down!
"I don't have such an incompetent and stupid sister!" The old man's heart fluctuated, and it took a while to calm down. And again, "It's not like I haven't taken care of your father. But he is as stupid as the guy surnamed Deng! Hopelessly stupid! ”
"As for you and your brother...... the old man's voice was a little cold, "You are not my son!" Your father uses it, can I still take care of your Deng family's children and grandchildren? ”
There is no such reason.
Deng Changnian thought so in his heart, so he nodded and stated: "Therefore, there is no family affection between me and you. He wasn't complaining about the old man in this regard. Maybe there was some before, after all, he is a relative...... But after listening to the old man's words just now, that little resentment was gone.
However, family affection is also to be cultivated.
It's not because there is a little blood connection that you can have the family affection of Shenshi Lake and Sea.
"That's true." The old man did not deny this either. He looked at Deng Changnian. Said: "If you don't go to the battlefield." I'm afraid I'll never see you in my eyes. I didn't expect you to be so talented...... It's a bit of a inheritance from your grandmother. I asked people to come to you because I saw your value. ”
Chen Houyun guessed wrong.
At this time for Deng Changnian, such a thought suddenly popped up in his heart. But. Such a situation. He was clearly satisfied. Talk to such a wise and understanding old man and talk about things. It's really a comforting thing.
“…… When you return to the battlefield, the Zheng family will no longer press you, and may be able to give you some help. And if you can really show enough value and potential. Even if the Zheng family fully supports you, so what? ”
"At that time, I only had one request, and it was not difficult...... It is enough to keep the Zheng family from being too depressed. The old lady said slowly: "Maybe your cousins will have some requirements for you, if you are willing, you can do it, if you don't want to, just come to me." I can't die for the time being, but I can always last for three or five years. ”
The old man's words were concise and clear, and he quickly put the rewards that the Zheng family could provide and wanted to get clearly in front of Deng Changnian, waiting for him to make a decision. The old man was very sure that Deng Changnian would agree. Because he couldn't see why Deng Changnian didn't agree.
In case Deng Changnian really refused to agree, he insisted on drawing a line with the Zheng family......
Then this Deng Changnian has nothing to look forward to investing!
Deng Changnian had already made a decision. He answered.
"Then, you go to Shizi. How, you will consult. Mingyi waited for him to nod his head, and immediately ended the conversation. After a pause, he added: "He doesn't know much about fighting, he can only think about some mess." How to deal with it, you can do it yourself. ”
The old man seemed to be very unhappy with his son.
During such a national war, the next generation of the Zheng family did not carry a gun...... The old man closed his eyes and hid the disappointment and loneliness in his eyes.
Deng Changnian retired from the old man's study. The cold outside the door made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he immediately came to his senses. The middle-aged man who looked like a steward was still waiting in the courtyard.
"What's your name?" Deng Changnian asked.
"The little Zheng stick, when the Hou Ye was fighting, the small one brushed the horse for the Hou Ye."
Deng Changnian's question gave the steward of Zheng Stick a signal. He was obviously no longer as silent as before, he became enthusiastic, and after introducing himself, he asked, "Is the young master going to see the prince now?" ”
The title was also changed.
Deng Changnian tasted it for a while, nodded and said, "If it is convenient for my cousin, of course I will go to see it." I just don't know, what kind of person is my cousin? He seemed to remember that this Zheng Shizi Zheng only went to the battlefield when he was young, stayed for less than a year, returned to Beijing, and now has a position in the military department.
But strictly speaking, he is not a military general at all.
It is conceivable that his attitude will never be the same as that of the old lady.
Zheng Stick led Deng Changnian forward, and introduced to Deng Changnian: "The prince treats people generously and gently......
Although Uncle Zheng was born tall and mighty, in him, he couldn't find the kind of iron-blooded spirit that had experienced life and death on the battlefield, and he was more like a civil official and literati who ran in the Huan Sea. Deng Changnian can also feel that most of Uncle Zheng's kung fu foundation has been wasted, and only some fur is left, I am afraid that even the gangsters on the street can't beat it.
"This is my nephew of the Deng family." As soon as Uncle Zheng saw Deng Changnian, he was full of smiles, and then he sighed with emotion, stepped forward quickly, patted Deng Changnian's shoulder heavily, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the Zheng family still has such a family...... The old lady has been hiding it for so many years, it's really ......"
When Uncle Zheng said this, tears were already in his eyes, and he looked at Deng Changnian, showing a distressed look, and said, "I also knew it before...... All these years, let your child suffer! (To be continued......)
