Chapter 40: Three Glasses of Wine

Although Chen Siwen has been watching the sun at sea for a long time and has an eye disease, it does not mean that he is blind, many things Chen Jian has done can't escape his eyes, and some things can't escape at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Since the father and son stargazed at night two years ago, all kinds of strange things have emerged one after another, from dramas to Li Yun from the capital, all of which surprised Chen Siwen.

He can only think that this is the blessing and protection of his ancestors, so that his son suddenly changed his sex or suddenly woke up to many things, and even ...... It was even guided by the ancestors as it was said a long time ago.

Originally, he didn't believe in such a thing, but he knew what his son was, and the sudden change made him have no other way to explain it than to believe in this mysterious legend.

Where did the son get the money? Where did that knowledge come from? What do you want to do in the future?

It was something he wanted to know, but he didn't want to ask.

He felt that if his son wanted to speak, he would naturally tell himself; If you don't say it, there's no point in asking.

Watching Jian Chen busy every day, sometimes he was a little angry, and said that I am also your father if my wings are hard, one day you have to find Lao Tzu's head, how old are you?

The sense of relief in anger does not compensate for the lack of joy, and even though this relief can make most fathers proud, this pride does not seem to be shared with him.

He believed that his son would talk to him one day, but he didn't expect it to be such a start.

One evening after the New Year, after dismissing the servants, Jian Chen ordered a table of dishes from outside, with some spirits on the table, and invited his father to eat together.

This is a very strange way, but Chen Siwen is still happy in his heart. Since the servants were dismissed, they must have something to talk about.

And this attitude, like a son telling himself that he has grown up, although it is a little ridiculous, but it has a little taste.

After taking a seat, Jian Chen poured a glass of wine and saluted.

"Father, please drink this wine, I want to talk to you about something."

"Why drink when talking about things?"

"Because it's a big deal. There is a saying that wine is strong and courageous, that is, the weakest people in the street, if they drink a few bowls of spirits, they will also do some blood-spattered five steps of feats. Although my father has seen blood, I am afraid that what I want to say is no less than your conquest back then, so I still drink this wine. ”

Chen Siwen laughed, accidentally choked on spittle, laughed and coughed constantly, his face was red, and asked with a smile: "Then according to you, how much alcohol do I have to drink to not be frightened by what you said?" ”

"At least three glasses."

"Good. I drank three glasses of wine before I went to war for the first time, and I will listen to you today. ”

After speaking, he poured himself a drink, three glasses of wine went down, his face did not change, and he looked at Jian Chen, who was kneeling at the bottom, with a smile and said, "Say it." ”

"Father, do you remember what I told you a year and a half ago about wanting to go out to the sea?"

"Yes."

"I haven't forgotten."

Chen Siwen clapped his hands and said, "It's very good." For the sake of you not forgetting, I still have to have a drink. It's always good for people to have ambitions. ”

After another drink, I felt a little sad in my heart, put down the glass and asked, "Just for this?" ”

Jian Chen shook his head and said, "Have you heard about the trading of orchids in our Mincheng in the past two years?" ”

"Of course I've heard of it. I know you've had some money lately, so you must have bought and sold those orchids, right? What, you want to tell me that I've earned enough money to buy a sea boat, and I'm leaving? ”

With a smile on his lips, he was a little afraid to see his son nod, as a navy, he knew too well what the sea was like, and he knew too well that a man and a ship were nothing compared to the boundless sea, as small as a grain of wheat in the richest landowner's house.

Seeing Jian Chen shaking his head, he was relieved, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously handed another glass of wine to his mouth.

"Father, I want to tell you that all the orchids in the entire Mincheng are actually mine. I made it all up. ”

Burst......

Chen Siwen had just drunk half of the wine, and all of it squirted out, his mouth grew long, and the hand holding the wine glass didn't notice that the wine glass had tilted and spilled all the wine.

His ears are good, and a few glasses of wine are nothing to him at all, so he is sober.

Hearing such words soberly, his head instantly turned into a paste when he pasted the peach charm couplets for the New Year, and his mind was buzzing.

The most sensational thing in Mincheng this year was the buying and selling of those orchids, people were like crazy hoarding this kind of flower, which symbolizes many good things. Although he was not involved, he also knew how many people were involved in this matter, and he knew more clearly how many families and how much money was involved.

It's just that he never thought that this matter would come from his son......

It took him a long time before he came to his senses, put the wine glass on the table, shook his head and said, "I can't drink it...... Can't drink it anymore. You mean...... You made all those orchids? ”

"Yes. From the beginning of the story, to the beginning of the hundreds of pots of orchids sold at a price that is now simply a free gift, in fact, those orchids are mine. ”

Chen Jian started talking from the beginning, Chen Siwen listened quietly, from those dramas to deliberately getting more people involved to help him hoard hype, Chen Siwen's head was already a little unable to turn.

This matter was too big, really too big, so big that it involved many businessmen and too many families in the entire Mincheng, and he never thought that a person with nothing could affect so many people.

After Chen Jian finished saying all this, Chen Siwen smiled bitterly: "Your son is not qualified, I know how much your Lao Tzu drinks, but I only let me drink three glasses to listen to you." How much did you earn from it? ”

"Thirty thousand."

"Awesome. Why not earn more? ”

"This thing can't be eaten, can't be drunk, can't even cure that strange disease. One day people will wake up, and maybe a pot of flowers won't cost more than a head of garlic. When the time comes, there will be a lot of people who will lose their lives, and I won't let those people hate me. ”

Chen Siwen reacted for a moment, his heart was even more shocked, and he stroked his chest for a long time before saying, "That's right...... Yes, this thing can't be eaten and it's not gold, and it will be finished one day. At that time, there will definitely be many people who will lose everything, and then the entire Fujian City will be in chaos, and the chaos will be difficult to clean up. It was right to get out early. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Siwen suddenly remembered the person from the capital a few days ago, and the fact that his son seemed to be recommended by someone in the school palace, so he asked, "Are you going to leave Mincheng to go to the capital?" That's why you wrote what weird article and sent it to the Capital Academy? ”

Jian Chen smiled: "Actually, it's more serious than you think. ”

"How?"

Jian Chen thought about how to explain it for a moment and used an analogy.

"You may not understand that subject, but the articles I sent to the Academy Palace were not just recommended to study in the Academy. Let's put it this way...... Tell me what you can imagine. What I handed me over, in that discipline, was like someone in the navy who had made a ship that could fly without sails and wood pulp! ”

Chen Siwen didn't understand those strange naturalists, but he knew very well what this simple metaphor meant, took a long breath, suppressed the shock that he had become accustomed to at this time, and asked in a more sober way than usual: "You mean...... At least in this discipline of the Academy, you will be no less famous than those old gentlemen? ”

"Almost."

Chen Siwen shook his head and said, "You are in a hurry, why do you want to say such a big thing at once?" Wouldn't it be better to take it one step at a time? ”

"Father, my dream is to go outside the sea and see, once I go to the sea, it is unknown whether I can come back. So I want to say what I think, it's not useful for me to know it alone, but to let more people know. ”

"I want fame, just for the sea, not fame itself. The things I'm talking about can't make money for the time being, and it won't make people put money into a seemingly hopeless voyage, but it can make this discipline go very fast, and even if I die, this discipline will go on after all, and the more I walk, the wider it gets. ”

"What is the use of a man who knows so much knowledge? Wouldn't it be better for more people to know about it? I want to go overseas, not just to go beyond the sea, but also for China. This knowledge is known to more people, and it is also for the sake of China. Like you said, if I hide it, I can actually get a lot of fame in my life, but believe it or not, that's not what I want. It's just a means, not an end in itself. ”

For the ...... of China

Four simple words, Chen Siwen was a little moved, like the manic wind in the autumn field, blowing open the tombstone that had been buried by the mound for a long time, so that Chen Siwen suddenly found that he had thought about these four words in his heart, but now these four words were engraved on the tombstone in his heart with despair, but at this time he was dusted by his son's words.

Before despair, Chen Siwen had a dream, and these four words were true at that time. But now, after experiencing despair, these four words have rotted along with his bloodβ€”for what? There are no enemies, who is Huaxia? And for whom? Is it that 30 million people are all Chinese? Or is it that some people are and the others are not?

When there is no external enemy, all dreams that sound so passionate are meaningless, and in the end they cannot compete with family, blood, money and power.

Chen Siwen knew very well, because when he became a captain in the navy, he once fantasized about something in the middle of the night......

Something that you would be angry about when you were young, but look forward to it when you are older.

He had hoped and fantasized that when the war with Qi was over, he would be able to have a hereditary system and pass on everything he had to his children. Official position, status, rights...... All kinds of things.

There are not a few people who have such thoughts, and those who have this kind of thinking have been excited by those four words when they were young. The person is still the same person, but he has grown up.
