Chapter 487: The Old Man on the Third Floor
Walking to the door, Liu He suddenly seemed to think of something, and he looked up at the words on it.
Outer part.
Liu He was a little puzzled, the four major families of Yingchuan, Chen, Xun, Zhong, Guo, this Chen family has Chen Ji, Chen Qun father and son, Xun family has Xun Yu, Xun You uncle and nephew, the Zhong family has Zhong Xuan, an important minister in the court, and his son Zhong Hui will also be famous all over the world in the future, but what kind of talent does this Guo family have?
You must know that the reason why the four major families can take deep roots in Yingchuan is entirely due to those clansmen who are officials in the court, a family that no one is an official in the court, it is difficult to imagine that they can gain a firm foothold in Yingchuan, a place where there are many wealthy families.
At present, Chen Qun of the Chen family and Zhong Xuan of the Zhong family are both officials of the Han Dynasty on the surface, but in fact they are loyal to Cao Cao, not to mention the Xun family, Xun Yu and Xun You's uncle and nephew are directly under Cao Cao's account.
Although there will be an episode between Xun Yu and Cao Cao about whether he is loyal to the Han family or Cao Wei in the future, it will be a long time later.
But whether it is the big court of the Han family or the small court of the Cao family, it seems that they have never heard of any descendant of the Guo family, such a family that has lost the foundation of the court, how can He De still be one of the four major families in Yingchuan?
Perhaps because Liu He had been delayed at the door for a long time, the young scholar who couldn't laugh gritted his back molars and said another word of invitation.
Liu He retracted his thoughts, glanced at the young scholar, and saw that the young scholar turned his head to the side again, and Liu He walked into the room with a satisfied expression.
The room was large, but it didn't seem empty.
In the corner, there is a rockery, next to it is a pool, Liu He probed to look, the pool water is still very deep, it seems that between the entire third floor and the second floor, there is a very thick mezzanine, so that the water surface of this pool is almost parallel to the floor of the third floor.
This almost extravagant style opened Liu He's eyes, and while admiring, he wondered if he would want to transform his Tianji Mansion into such a way when he returned to Chengdu.
Even with a rockery and a pool, the rest of the room was still large, but there was only one table.
An old man sat silently at the table, his eyes always focused on Liu He, who was looking around.
He was also expressionless, but he was not as indifferent as the young scholar at the door, but had the steadiness of an elder.
"What's the matter with you?" Liu He came to the old man in a hurry, and he was not polite to the old man at all, and sat directly in front of the old man.
The old man didn't seem to have any reaction to Liu He's rude behavior, and still stared at Liu He carefully.
"Close the door!"
The old man's sudden words made Liu He stunned for a moment.
When he realized that the old man was ordering the young scholar outside the door, not himself, he breathed a sigh of relief, but found that he had been suppressed by the old man's momentum unconsciously.
"You are Liu He?" The old man asked in a deep voice.
Liu He only felt that the old man's eyes were like torches, which made him very uncomfortable, and he even wanted to avoid it, but found that his eyes seemed to be sucked by the other party, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move half a point.
In the end, Liu He gave up the struggle and nodded at the old man.
"Do you know the old man?"
"I don't know." Liu He replied very simply, he pondered, as soon as he entered the door, he lost to the other party in terms of momentum, and took advantage of this opportunity to get some of the field back.
But the old man didn't seem to mind Liu He's answer, and his face was still calm, "The old man's surname is Guo, his name is Yi, he is the head of the Guo family, and he is also the father of Qian Zhuan. ”
Hearing the old man's words, Liu He couldn't sit still anymore, and he couldn't care about any momentum, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Qian Zhuan's biological father, Mr. Guo?
If it's not a joke, it's too informative.
The old man poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Liu He, "The old man has never poured tea for others in his life, today is the first time, the reason why I will do this is to thank you for taking care of the dog these days." ”
Liu He picked up the teacup and took a sip, but he still didn't slow down, just barely squeezed out a smile and nodded at the old man.
The old man seemed to see Liu He's thoughts, and without waiting for Liu He to speak, he took the lead in explaining: "My son, who has been smart since he was a child, is a good seedling who reads, but he wants to be a businessman. At first, I just thought that he was young and ignorant, and when he got older, he would be able to change his mind. Unexpectedly, in his twenties, he still did not change. As soon as I got angry, I expelled him from the Guo family. I thought that if he suffered some hardships outside, he would understand my hard work, but I didn't expect that he really didn't come back for several years, and he also changed his name to Qian Zhuan. ”
"And what was his original name?" Liu He suddenly asked.
"It doesn't matter," said the old man's tone, as if he could not tolerate the slightest rebuttal, "what matters is what his name is now." Money, in reverse, is the word to make money. Ever since I heard the name he had changed for himself, I knew that he wanted to go all the way to the end of the road as a businessman. ”
Liu He suddenly realized that Qian Zhuan's father invited him today, but he didn't call Qian Zhuan together, and it was obvious that the contradiction between the father and son had not been eliminated.
He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Then why are you always looking for me today?" ”
The old man glanced at Liu He meaningfully, "The old man heard that you and your group came to Yingchuan to come to the dog's hometown to have a look, but is there such a thing?" ”
"There is such a thing," Liu He said bluntly, "not only Qian Zhuan, but we also have to go to another brother's house to have a look and visit his family." ”
The old man's face sank, "Let's not talk about the others, I just want to remind you that the place where the dog will lead you to after a while is not the Guo family, and the person you see will not be the old man." ”
Liu He stared at the old man's eyes tightly, I don't know when he started, he was no longer afraid to face the other party, "I don't care where he will take me, who he will take me to meet, I just want to know, how do you know these things?" ”
The title has changed from you to you, and it also announced the situation between the two, forming a situation of equal strength for the first time.
The old man also stared at Liu He with a torch in his eyes, "The old man not only knows this, but even everything you have done before is also clear. ”
"I'm asking you, how do you know?" Liu He had no intention of backing down.
