"Mr. Hu, what does the painting say?"

Hu Yudao looked at the unfolded scroll, as well as Mr. Xixi Hu, who was shaking his head, and asked with some curiosity.

"Dong Weng, this painting looks rough, there is only a big tree in the sky and a stream, but there is a lot of mystery inside!"

Mr. Hu looked at Hu Yudao, who showed anticipation on his face and humbly asked for advice, and his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of pride.

A rough man is a rough man, even if this rough man has a lot of money, he is also a vulgar person who does not understand literature and ink.

"Please also ask Mr. to solve Hu's doubts!"

Hu Yudao learned from Liu Xuande's appearance of inviting Zhuge out of the mountain in the play, bowed deeply to the end, and said with a solemn face. As everyone knows, he only learned seven or eight points in his movements, which looks so weird.

Mr. Hu didn't think it was a pestle, but enjoyed the process very much, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled and helped Hu Yudao up.

"Dong Weng!"

"This big tree is very vigorous and powerful, and its branches and leaves pierce the sky like dragons!"

"Lord Situ is really powerful!"

"Strangely, though, this great tree, though full of foliage, has no roots... ”

"And the same goes for this creek. ”

"Although it seems to be endless, there is no source... ”

"Together, it is a tree without roots, and water without a source!"

Mr. Hu stretched out his somewhat withered yellow fingers, pointed to the big tree without roots on the scroll, and the stream that had no source and was broken, and said confidently.

"Nothing wood, no water?"

Hu Yudao heard what Mr. Hu said elegantly, his eyes widened, and he asked with some incomprehension.

"It's a tree without roots, water without a source!"

"To put it simply, it's a tree without roots, and water without a source!"

Mr. Hu had expected Hu Yudao's reaction, so he was not surprised and explained carefully.

"A tree without roots will wither!"

"A stream without a source will stop flowing sooner or later!"

"This!"

Hu Yudao's eyes kept shrinking, and he sat there a little dazed. After a while, he seemed to whisper:

"Mr. Hu!"

"What do you mean when you say that the county lord Situ sent someone to send this scroll?"

"This... ”

When Mr. Hu heard Hu Yudao's inquiry, his eyes couldn't help but stagnate, as if he had been thinking carefully in his heart for a long time, and then he said tentatively:

"Could it be that he wants to threaten Dong Weng?"

"If you don't obey his wishes, the Hu family will slowly wither like a tree without roots!"

"This... ”

Hu Yudao's eyes couldn't help shrinking, although what Mr. Hu said made some sense, but he still had a feeling in his heart, that is, the meaning of Situ Xing's painting scroll was far more than that.

"The meaning of this painting is to make our Hu family understand!"

"Trees have roots, water has a source, where are the roots of our Hu family? Where is the source of our Hu family?"

Just when the two of them were confused, suddenly a clear and thick voice came from outside the flower hall.

Listening to that familiar voice, Hu Yudao, who was burying his head, suddenly had a little joy on his face:

"It's Da Lang who is back!"

"Speak quickly to the Father... ”

Xixi, who had a goatee, saw Hu Tingyu walk into the flower hall, and hurriedly got up and saluted, and the arrogance on his face disappeared.

You must know that Hu Tingyu and Hu Yudao are different.

He has read books and tested his fame, not just a simple martial artist.

"I've seen my father!"

"Tingyu, I've seen Mr. Hu!"

After Hu Tingyu entered the flower hall, he first saluted Hu Yudao and greeted Mr. Hu, and then came to the bookcase, looking at the unfolded scroll with blazing eyes.

"What Mr. Hu said earlier is right!"

"This painting is indeed a tree without roots, water without a source!"

But one thing is not true. ”

"That is, Lord Situ is not using this painting to demonstrate, but to let us think about what is the root of our Hu family. What is the source of our Hu family?"

Hu Tingyu looked at the painting in front of him, his eyes were gloomy, and he said with a serious and determined face.

"I don't need to ask!"

"Everyone is a wealthy family, they are in the same breath, they take care of each other, and the roots of my Hu family are naturally in the place!"

This is also the reason why his father did not hesitate to offend Lord Situ. ”

"When it comes to the great truth, the father can't say anything about you, but the truth of the cold lips and teeth, the father still understands!"

Hu Yudao heard Hu Tingyu's question, and said without any hesitation.

Hu Tingyu didn't answer, just shook his head slightly.

"Is it wrong for the Father to say it?"

Hu Yudao saw Hu Tingyu shaking his head, his eyes couldn't help but stagnate, and he asked in disbelief.

"Thirty years ago, my father was still a butcher who only knew how to kill pigs and sheep, and there was no Hu family in Zhibei County!"

"By chance, my father made a career, and through unremitting efforts, I have today's Hu family in Zhibei County, but I don't know that the Hu family has today's situation, but because there are local wealthy families who are united and support each other?"

Hu Tingyu did not answer Hu Yudao's question, but asked with a smile.

"How is that possible?"

"They wanted to kill our Hu family at that time. ”

"How is it possible to bring me and other new families... ”

"After all, Zhibei County is just a small place, it's so big... ”

"The old wealthy family controls all the land and business names, and they will never allow the birth of a new wealthy family. ”

"Because every time a wealthy family is born, it means that their power will shrink a lot, so every newly born wealthy family is the enemy of all wealthy families!"

Hu Yudao shook his head without any hesitation, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he said with a look of disdain and mockery:

"Before the Hu family, there were also the Liu family and the Han family. ”

"But their qi is not enough, and in the end they are all defeated and swallowed by the Hao clan!"

"The power of the Hao clan is so strong!"

"How did Daddy hold on and gain a firm foothold in Zhibei County back then?"

"But the wealthy have a good heart?"

"Or is it as Daddy said, the Hao clan is all in the same spirit?"

Hu Tingyu nodded lightly and asked with a look of adoration.

"Humph!"

"How could these wealthy families be so kind, they were like wolves back then, wanting to swallow the immature Hu family!"

"Fortunately, Daddy had a good relationship with Sima Beijun in his early years, and with Sima Ti of Beijun to take care of him, my Hu family was not divided by those wealthy families when the foundation was not stable!"

"Later, my son competed for his fame, and under the operation of his father, he waited for the errand of the Yamen of the Zhibei County Inspection Division, and the Hu family had today's situation step by step!"

"It turns out that the father still remembers the situation back then, and the child thinks that the father has forgotten!"

Hu Tingyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said pointedly.

"How could Daddy forget!"

"In order to deal with the wealthy people around me, Daddy didn't dare to close his eyes for a few days!"

Hu Yudao didn't hear the strangeness in Hu Tingyu's tone, and said with emotion:

"Back then, if it weren't for Sima Gu of Beijun who took care of the old feelings and pulled your father, I'm afraid that your father and I would have been killed by the wealthy clan and strewn on the streets. ”

"Now father, you should know what is the root of our Hu family, right?"

"Our Hu family can have today, not because of the same qi between the wealthy families, but on the care of the nobles in the court, as well as the silver and knives and guns in our hands!"

"This!"

Listening to Hu Tingyu's analysis, Hu Yudao's eyes couldn't help shrinking, but he still felt that something was wrong:

"The wealthy clan of Zhibei County is in the same breath!"

"We are all after all... ”

"Father!"

"Why did you get to this point, you still don't understand!"

"Our Hu family is different from their wealthy families. ”

Hu Tingyu saw that Hu Yudao still didn't understand a little, and said a little anxiously.

"What's the difference!"

"Our Hu family is also a member of the Hao clan in Zhibei County, and it is also one of the only three remaining clans now!"

Hu Yudao's eyes were hollow, and he asked a little confused.

"The Hao clan is not only powerful, but the most important thing is that they all have a long history and profound heritage!"

"Each of their families has a history of hundreds of years, with a solid foundation, and after hundreds of years of marriage, their relationship is even more complicated, you have me, I have you, it is an inseparable whole!"

"Pull a hair and move the whole body!"

"Not bad!"

"This is also the reason for the alliance between the Father and them!"

Hu Yudao nodded lightly, and said with a look of yearning and approval:

"The wealthy family of Zhibei County is in the same spirit, even if it is a court official, they don't dare to bully too much!"

"That's what my father said!"

"Joining forces with the same qi and taking care of each other is the way of survival of the Hao family!"

"It is precisely for this reason that the Hao clan can stand on the ground for hundreds of years without falling!"

Hu Tingyu looked at Hu Yudao, who looked yearning, and nodded gently, but his words quickly changed:

"But our Hu family is different!"

"Our Hu family has been from its inception to the present, but you and I have two generations, father and son, with a total history of decades!"

"Our Hu family can overwhelm other wealthy families with a long history and become one of the three wealthy families in Zhibei County, relying not on the same qi between us and the wealthy family, nor on the mutual care and support between the wealthy families, but on the power of Sima of Beijun, as well as the fame of the child, the swords and soldiers in his hands, to put it bluntly, these are the grace of the imperial court!"

"If one day, our Hu family loses the favor of the imperial court, and the child has no military power in the palm of his hand, I am afraid that the first to stand up and attack us and carve up our Hu family is these local wealthy families who are hypocritical and have the same spirit!"

"After all, it's not a day since they coveted the power of our Hu family!"

"That's why Lord Situ used this painting to vaguely remind us that we must distinguish between inside and outside, and we must know our own roots!"

"Don't let some irrelevant people and things cause your family to lose its foundation and lose your vitality. ”

"This... ”

Listening to Hu Tingyu's statement, Hu Yudao's eyes kept contracting, the muscles of his whole body tightened, and his heart set off a shocking wave.

I see!

It turns out that this is the meaning of the picture scroll of Situ Punishment!

This is a warning, and it is also a wake-up call for the Hu family, don't forget your own origin and forget your roots for the sake of a little profit in front of you.

"What my son said ... ”

"I almost made a heinous mistake for my father!"

"My Hu family is not a local wealthy family at all. ”

"The grace of the imperial court is the foundation of my Hu family. As long as the favor of the imperial court is not lost, and the authority in the hands of my son is not lost, my Hu family will never be subverted!"

"On the contrary, that's the woe of the Hu family!"

"Under the nest, there are no eggs?"

"Pass the order, starting tomorrow, all the businesses of the Hu family will be open for business... ”

"In addition, send someone to prepare a generous gift and send it to Lord Situ's mansion to thank him for his guidance!"

As if he had figured out something, Hu Yudao's eyes were no longer confused, and he said unusually firmly. However, he still has some worries in his heart:

"The events of the past few days are indeed wrong for my father, and I am worried that Lord Situ will hold a grudge for my father... ”

"The sage has a saying: Knowing mistakes can be changed, and goodness is great!"

"What's more, my father reined in the precipice and didn't cause any trouble to Lord Situ at all!"

"The child thinks, Lord Situ will definitely not blame!"

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent someone to send a picture scroll to wake up his father!"

Hu Tingyu saw that Hu Yudao was worried in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

"That's good!"

"That's good!"

"That's good!"

Listening to Hu Tingyu's explanation, Hu Yudao's heart relaxed, and he said a little repeatedly.

"This is indeed a mistake done for the Father!"

"If Lord Situ doesn't dislike it, his father will definitely come to the door in person and take the guilt!"
