Chapter 219: Elder's Thoughts

The family was having breakfast. Maybe it's summer. The morning is also hot. Even the maids standing aside. They all seem a little unmotivated.

Zhang Fan still has the usual expression. Nothing has changed. Doesn't take the initiative to talk to someone. Nor will they refuse to talk to anyone; Zhang Yan was silent. only care about the food in front of you; Zhang Ting was on the side. Took a bite to eat on and off. glanced at Zhang Fan again. Lost his mind for a while. Then take another bite of your meal. It seems to be thinking about something.

The weirdest thing is Zhang Yufang. He didn't seem to have the heart to eat at all. Chopsticks stir in the bowl. But not once in the mouth. His eyes kept staring at Zhang Fan. I don't know what I'm thinking.

Zhang Fan didn't notice this. Although it's just today. Maybe there will be many things going on. Some can be very serious. But Zhang Fan didn't seem to feel it now. Still eating so unhurriedly.

"Fan'er. You're going out today. Zhang Yufang seemed to be really unable to bear it. opened his mouth and asked Zhang Fan this. His words made Zhang Yan a little surprised. for he knows his father. Usually very cautious. Cook rice like this. Zhang Yufang rarely speaks. He didn't know what was going on.

The rest. Zhang Fan didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Zhang Ting was still thinking about something. She didn't notice her father's strange behavior.

"Not bad." Zhang Fan didn't know why Zhang Yufang asked him about this matter. Say it casually. "Today I will accompany Ling'er to Liu Shan's mansion."

Heard Zhang Fan answer. Zhang Yufang's brows furrowed. Although the time is short. But Zhang Fan still saw it. He couldn't help but ask a little strangely, "Uncle." Is there something you want to tell me. ”

"I ......" Zhang Yufang, who just wanted to speak, closed his mouth. It seemed that what he was about to say was a little hard to say.

All of a sudden. Zhang Fan is nothing. He just thought that Zhang Yufang really had something bad to say. I didn't care much. And Zhang Yanke on the side was even more surprised. He had never seen his father like this. To know. Zhang Yufang is a person who has one thing to say. There is never ambiguity or hesitation. And he is like this now. How could it not surprise Zhang Yan.

"Uncle. If there is anything to be said. Van Er is waiting for you at any time. Although Zhang Fan didn't know what Zhang Yufang was going to say. Although he was also curious. But he would never be curious enough to take the initiative to ask. In this regard. Zhang Fan is very respectful of people. If someone else wants to say it. He would listen attentively; If others don't want to say it. He wouldn't have asked. Of course. And that's just for people in general. If it's for some of the people he meets at work. Don't want to say. Hehe. Then all means are exhausted. Until the man wanted to say it.

Soon. Zhang Fan ran out of breakfast. I looked at the hour. It's already halfway through the hour. Soon after. He and Luo Ling'er were about to set off. Stand up. said to Zhang Yufang: "Uncle." Zhang Fan has something to do later. This goes down. Seeing Zhang Yufang nodded. Zhang Fan turned around and walked out.

"Fan'er ......" saw Zhang Fan walking to the door. Zhang Yufang didn't know what was wrong. still opened his mouth to stop Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan heard his uncle's voice. Stopped again. Turned around and looked at Zhang Yufang. Wait for him to speak. There was not a hint of impatience on his face. Very patient.

"You ......" Zhang Yufang didn't know why. Zhang Fan who saw this appearance. Once again, he stopped talking. There was a long pause. before continuing. "Can you come with your uncle later? Uncle has something to say to you. ”

Heard Zhang Yufang say this. Zhang Fan couldn't help but think about it a little in his heart. He wasn't thinking about what Zhang Yufang was going to say to him. It's a question of time. Look at Zhang Yufang's appearance. What he wants to say to Zhang Fan must not be finished in one or two sentences. Originally. Zhang Yufang said to Zhang Fanlai that he was an elder. Elders talk to juniors. There is room for you to think so much about being a junior. But the situation is different now. Zhang Fan has important things to do because he is waiting. There's not a lot of time to spend here.

"Uncle. My little nephew didn't know what my uncle was going to tell me. But there are some important things to think about. Zhang Fan said. However, the little nephew does have some important things to do today. There is no delay yet. Look, uncle. Is it possible to push back the time a bit? Wait for the little nephew to come back after finishing things today. Let's talk to my uncle in detail.

"That's right. That...... All right. I'll tell you when you get back. "Zhang Yufang. Hesitated. agreed with Zhang Fan's approach. It seems that what he wants to say is important though. But it's not impatient. "Still. At this time, though, it's not a rush. But it's also very important. I'm going to have to talk to you. ”

"The little nephew will naturally listen to him when the time comes." Zhang Fan said. But I listened to Zhang Yufang's words just now. He was really curious. I couldn't help but ask. "Can the little nephew know. What does my uncle have to say to my little nephew? ”

Zhang Yufang listened to him. Just wanted to say something. But he looked at his absent-minded daughter Zhang Ting and Manchester United's son Zhang Yan with a puzzled expression. But he didn't say anything. Zhang Fan saw her like this. Naturally, it is understood. Maybe Zhang Yufang didn't want to let his son and daughter hear what he wanted to say to him. Presumably something important.

"That being the case. Then wait for the little nephew to come back. Talking to my uncle. Zhang Fan had no intention of asking. After all, there are inconvenient times for Chinese New Year. "That's right. The little nephew will go first. ”

"Hmm. There you go. Zhang Yufang said so. will no longer keep Zhang Fan. I continued to sit back. Thinking about something.

Merely. Zhang Yufang, who was still thinking about things, didn't find out. His son, Zhang Yan, was looking at him with incredible eyes. Truly. Zhang Yufan's actions today are indeed very abnormal in Zhang Yan's eyes. He had never seen his father so stumbling and hesitant. As for Zhang Ting. It's like I'm still worried about something. It's just because of Zhang Fan's departure. Somewhat lost. Concentrate on eating. And where would you notice the strangeness of your father and brother?

In fact, Zhang Yufang wanted to talk to Zhang Fan about something. Although important. But it's not about him. It's about Zhang Fan. What he had to say. Or about what he was worried about yesterday. About Zhang Fan and Liu Shan now. Or basically it's about Zhang Fan these days. Large-scale bribery.

Actually, from the first time. That is, Zhang Fan has just come to Yangzhou. When I lived in Zhang's house. And that's what happened. At that time. It was a group of people led by Liu Shan who sent a lot of things to Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan also accepted it all without refusing. At that time, Zhang Yufang was still a little unlucky to care about these things because of Zhang Fan's sudden arrival and the identity he brought. Plus at that time. Zhu Yijun is also at his house. And the identity of the crown prince has already been indicated to him. There is the crown prince of the dynasty by his side. Zhang Fan is still so unscrupulous in accepting bribes. This seems to Zhang Yufang. Zhang Fan obviously had already gotten the consent of the above. I dare to do that. So. He didn't bother to ask.

But nowadays. Zhang Fan's appearance of not refusing to come. It really scared Zhang Yufang. Although he has never been an official. But because of the relationship at home. He is also a well-known person in Yangzhou's business field. It's not that I don't know all about some things in officialdom. I know some of the time. Those who are officials are also involuntarily. But Zhang Fan did this. It seemed to him a little too much. So much stuff. Such a large amount. Let him feel. Zhang Fan will be in trouble sooner or later in the future. He may now have the emperor's favor. The respect of the crown prince. But the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier. There is also a saying that a companion is like a tiger. Not to mention that the emperor's mind is not easy to guess. Who knows what the future holds. Even those who are honest and honest cannot guarantee that they will not be caught in the end by the actions of their political opponents. And how much more so those who have done something wrong.

He actually did this for Zhang Fan's sake. The Zhang family finally came up with such a champion as Zhang Fan. Now it's beautiful again. There is a bright future ahead. Zhang Yufang didn't want Zhang Fan to fall like this. In the future, it may also involve the Zhang family. To know. This kind of thing to kill everything. Zhang Yufang has heard a lot. It's not that I haven't seen it.

Day before yesterday. That is the day Zhang Fan married Luo Ling'er. Zhang Yufang saw that the situation was getting more and more serious. He also began to have the idea of wanting to talk to Zhang Fan. But I didn't know how to speak. Plus that day. Zhang Fan is also very busy. He didn't say anything to Zhang Fan.

Yesterday. He thought about it. But he didn't think about how to talk to Zhang Fan about it. Until last night. Zhang Yufang, who was lying on the bed, was tossing and turning. I can't sleep. Finally, I finally made up my mind. I plan to talk to Zhang Fan today. There is no need to disguise anything. Or some vague word. is to say what he is worried about in front of Zhang Fan. There is no need to disguise anything.

He's even thought of the worst-case scenario. That is, Zhang Fan may not agree with what he said. Ren Ran insisted on going his own way. You have to do that. But Zhang Yufang has already made up his mind. Be sure to talk to Zhang Fan clearly. He thinks that Zhang Fan is a scholar. Ten years of hard work. The words of the sages have been read a lot. He said so bitterly to Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan must be able to understand his intentions. After all, I did it myself. It's also for Zhang Fan's good.

Just now when the family was having breakfast together. Zhang Yufang wanted to talk to Zhang Fan. It's just that his sons and daughters are there. It's not easy to speak. But as soon as he heard that Zhang Fan was going to see Liu Shan today. Zhang Yufang couldn't bear it anymore. I am afraid that Zhang Fan will fall deeper and deeper. That's why I talked to Zhang Fan about what I wanted to talk to him about.

But now it seems. Zhang Fan did not refuse him. And this matter is not something that can be solved all at once. Zhang Yufang also put it down for the time being. But he kept it in his mind.
