Chapter Thirty-Eight: Situ Remnant
Looking at Su Heng, who was respectful, full of etiquette, and almost impeccable, Situ Zhan's old face was unrestrained, he just nodded, and then stretched out his hand to invite Su Heng to sit down, and there was no movement. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Heng was not in a hurry, he was calm from beginning to end, he felt that he was sitting in the guest seat, picked up the tea that had just been served by the people next to him, and took a sip gently.
The entrance was bitter, Su Heng had been tasting tea for a while, and he could still distinguish between high-grade tea and low-grade tea, and this cup of tea obviously belonged to the latter.
Since entering the house, Situ Chuan has not said a word, and now he has taken out such low-grade tea to entertain him, which is obviously against the way of hospitality, if ordinary people are treated like this, they will definitely feel that the host family is disrespectful, look down on him, and will definitely choose to leave angrily, but Su Heng did not, what he thought was why Situ Chuan did this?
Old man Situ was old and supported the huge Situ family alone, how could he be the kind of person who didn't understand the way of respecting guests, and this time he personally sent an invitation, so Su Heng suspected that this was a temptation, and the result of the temptation also meant that Situ was the next choice.
After being silent for a long time, Su Heng also drank two cups of tea without saying a word, although the tea was inferior, there was no complaint on his face.
"Mr. Su is young, but he has such a heart, and the old man admires him." Situ Yan finally spoke, and a trace of an ugly smile appeared on his withered old face, maybe this was not easy for him, he was born with a rigorous and ruthless personality, and it was really rare for him to smile at a person.
For this kind of praise, Su Heng naturally responded politely: "Thank you for the praise, the younger generation still needs to learn from you." ”
Seeing that Su Heng was modest and polite, Situ Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Su is too modest, if it is an ordinary boy, seeing the old man doing this, he must say that the old man relies on the old man and sells the old, I am afraid that he has already left in indignation." ”
Hearing Situ Remnant's words, Su Heng's heart was clear, Situ Remnant was really tempting just now.
Situ Yan picked up the tea on the side, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Yesterday I went to the lying palace, looked at Yan'er, and mentioned to him by the way, the Nine Emperors are good, if you are interested, you can adopt them as adopted sons, so that in the future, our Situ family will have a good care in the palace." ”
Situ was straight to the point, his words were amazing, Su Heng didn't answer, and the shock in his heart was not shown on his face, he just continued to listen quietly.
Seeing that Su Heng was overjoyed, Situ nodded secretly and said again: "But Yan'er, this kid, has rarely interacted with me since he entered the palace, and he doesn't like these conspiracies and tricks, so he rejected the old man on the spot, and the old man understands her, so he doesn't have hope, but he didn't expect that Mr. Su asked His Royal Highness Nine to give him a good gift, which successfully aroused Yan'er's thoughts, and finally accepted His Royal Highness Jiu as his adopted son." ”
Situ said it so bluntly, Su Heng didn't beat around the bush, and looked at the muddy but wise old eyes: "I originally intended to let His Royal Highness Nine gain the favor of the queen's mother, but I didn't expect to be adopted as an adopted son by him. ”
Situ Yan smiled slightly: "It can be regarded as a mistake, in fact, when the Nine Emperor Prince rang the nine bells for Mr., the old man had already begun to observe Mr., the old man thought that his vision of people was never wrong, and he believed that His Royal Highness the Ninth would have a great cause in the future with the assistance of a wise man like Mr." ”
Will it be a great cause? This is a bit too straightforward......
Su Heng didn't expect Situ Yan to make his words clear to such an extent, but he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, sometimes he was straight to the point, everyone didn't have to go around in circles, and it was also a good choice to pick out the words directly.
Looking at Su Heng, who was silent, Situ continued in a hoarse voice: "Although the Situ family is small, if His Royal Highness the Ninth has any orders in the future, even if he sends them, the Situ family will definitely do their best to offer their meager strength." ”
Situ Yan's words were impassioned, and then he said meaningfully: "How can I say that the old man can be regarded as the 'grandfather' of His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness now, of course his own family members have to help each other." ”
Is this the intention of the Situ family to take refuge?
Situ Yan said it to such an extent, and Su Heng naturally understood what he meant.
Situ has a daughter and a son under his knees, and the daughter is naturally the current queen Situ Yan, as for the youngest son, it is said that he is sick and sick all day long, even if he has reached the age of thirty, he is still single, wandering between the Qinglou and the wine shop all day long, and he is no different from a waste person, so the affairs of the clan are still taken care of by Situ Remnant, who has reached the age of sixtieth.
Therefore, many people in the side branches of the Situ family have paid attention to the main family over the years, and the side branches are prosperous and ambitious, just waiting for the opportunity to replace them.
Su Heng only learned so much, it was still the news he heard temporarily before he came, and now Situ Chuan revealed his intention to take refuge, and he also guessed something in his heart, eighty percent of it was that he was worried that after death, his uncompetitive son would be bullied by the side branches, so he laid a good foundation in advance and paved the way for his son.
Rao is Situ is shrewd, and he can't escape these constraints......
Su Heng didn't speak, Situ Yan thought that his chips were not enough, gritted his teeth, pondered for a moment and said again: "Mr. Su, do you know why Your Majesty raises his hand to increase the quota every year for Yan'er's birthday?" ”
Su Heng had thought about this question before, and at that time he had maliciously speculated that Zhao Wouji was trying to get something from Situ Yan, but now seeing Situ Yan say this, Bacheng guessed that he was not wrong.
Thinking about it, Su Heng still shook his head honestly, saying that he didn't know.
Situ Yan stood up, walked back and forth in the empty hall, then raised his hand and pointed to the guide: "Sir, do you know how many people are in the area around the south gate of Shouyang City?" ”
"Shouyang City has a population of 10 million, and the south gate alone occupies about 5 million." Su Heng naturally knew this question and immediately replied.
Situ coughed a few times: "Yes, with a population of five million, since the Situ family took root in the south gate, these five million people don't know how many people have received the favor of the Situ family, up to the officials and nobles, down to the peddlers and pawns, as long as the Situ family exists for a day, these people, for generations, will always be inseparable from the Situ family." ”
"In the area of the south gate, green buildings, wine shops, pawnshops, inns, and boat buildings...... Most of them are the Situ family's industry, if the Situ family falls, then these people will sleep on the streets overnight, no matter how noble you were during your lifetime, without the big tree of the Situ family to protect from the wind and rain, everything is just a mirror! ”
