Chapter 19 Transactions
The ancestral hall is now like a long-term depression, dim light, full of tablets of the deceased ancestors that Lan Yi is not familiar with, originally, this is the most unholy place, but Lan Yi feels depressed! Lan Hongda didn't have any expression, his fat body stood there, the hair on his head was already a little pale, but his narrow eyes were always staring at those tablets, sweeping from side to side, and then back from the other side!
Lan Yi didn't like it here, he didn't like it since he was a child, and he even felt that if it was possible, he was not a member of the Lan family, but unfortunately, he couldn't choose his own background. The strange silence made the grief and indignation in Lan Yi's heart rise even more, his eyes full of anger stared at Lan Hongda, and his face was still as deep as ever, but in that deepness, there was less of the grandeur of the past, and more of today's sadness, loneliness and helplessness.
This sad look shrouded Lan Hongda deeply, and also dimmed his former look, old, maybe this is what Lan Hongda should look like at this time, but Lan Yi only found out!
It's just such a fleeting moment of compassion, Lan Yi brought himself back to his senses from such a sentimentality! In life, who can not say that they are old? If you talk about the vicissitudes of life, who can compare to your mother! The person in front of him has grieved his mother for so many years, how can he be touched by his old age?
"Now the Lan family's troubles are all caused by me after all, and I am willing to bear all the consequences!" Lan Yi looked at Lan Hongda stubbornly, his eyes that were almost soaked returned to their usual coldness at this moment, and the voice that came out was like a cold wind in early spring, carrying a steep spree towards Lan Hongda.
Fortunately, Lan Hongda had been prepared for a long time, he only came back to his senses slightly, and asked lightly, "Bear?" How do you bear it? How to afford it? Lan Hongda had already twisted his body, and his gaze was no longer on those tablets, but at Lan Yi in front of him. Although they had not been father and son for so many years, since Lan Yi was seven or eight years old, he had hardly observed his son closely. Although they are in the same mansion, every time they meet, they are either tense or vicious, and he wants to endure it several times, but when he sees this guy's hideous face, his forbearance will be ignited!
This time, he really didn't get angry, and he really looked at his son so closely, but Lan Yi didn't dodge. His eyes are like torches, with traces of anger burning, he is a graceful jade tree, with the figure and face of a beautiful man, and he also knows how to be reasonable, affectionate and righteous...... Although this affection has nothing to do with him...... But he was his father, and in this gaze, Lan Hongda saw the face that called himself proud and proud.
Perhaps, as a father, Lan Hongda has never really blamed his son. In all fairness, Lan Yi has been working on poetry and books since he was a child, and he knows etiquette, although his family was already rich when he was young, but he has never been contaminated with the bad habits of a gentleman, and what is more valuable is that he has a clear love and hatred, a dedication to the pursuit of justice, and a backbone that is not attached to the family.
But even that damn coldness can't make Lan Hongda have any whispers about this son, he knows that there is a knot in his heart that cannot be untied, and in his heart, how can he not hide a secret that is not known to outsiders? And now, it seems, is not yet the time to untie the knot. He is a father, he should be forbearing, he should be tolerant, and he should bear it. All because he is a father.
Now, Lan Yi is standing in front of him, such a young man makes Lan Hongda feel strange, and he has a feeling of wanting to be close and worrying about being rejected! But he was still relieved to hear that his son was going to come back and take responsibility! This is not a good thing for him Lan Hongda, and for the Lan family!
"You can tie me up and take me to the Zhong family, and kill or kill them!" Lan Yi was awe-inspiring, he stood up with a stubborn body, and his short clothes were a little funny and ridiculous on his body, but such an image was majestic in Lan Hongda's eyes.
"To kill? Want to chop? Lan Hongda chuckled softly. They have already sealed my first pint of incense, which is equivalent to asking for my half life, or I can say that I gave them half my life for you. You don't owe them now, you owe me only me! I know that for so many years, you have been very disdainful of me as a father, and even more disdainful of talking to me about father-son relationship. Therefore, I don't talk about family affection with you either, I only talk about deals with you. Lan Hongda said this quite easily, "How to trade?" Lan Yi also appreciates Lan Hongda's way.
"You come back, go back to the Lan family, and revive the family business with me!" Lan Hongda walked in front of Lan Yi, now he is not as tall as his son, standing in front of him, he even has to look up.
Lan Yi said goodbye to a handsome face, his mouth was slightly bulging, and his mind was full of thinking about his proposal. He was a little dissatisfied and resentful in his heart, he didn't want to be with him, he didn't want to violate his conscience, and he didn't want his mother to know that he was sad.
But he ...... There seemed to be some truth to it, and he had no reason to refuse. "I can come back, but ......"
"Don't worry, I only talk about transactions between me and you, not about father-son affection! Your private life, I just ask, what you were like in the past in the mansion, you can still be the same now, but, for the matter of our Lanfu family business, I hope you don't break your promise today! "Unexpectedly, Lan Hongda is more decisive than Lan Yi.
"That's what you said! In a word! Lan Yi stared at Lan Hongda, he couldn't get used to seeing this father for a long time, and he had always aimed to oppose this father, but today, for the first time in his life, he and his father reached a consensus that they would work together to revive the Lan family!
"It's hard to chase a horse!" Lan Hong's voice was loud, and his eyes flashed with joy. Although the gaze that greeted Lan Yi was still cold, and the hand that stretched out to slap on his shoulder was also dodged away by him, Lan Hongda still had a smile on his face.
The deal between the father and son was happily decided in this way, and of course Lan Yi didn't want to stay in this ancestral hall for a while, so he got up and left, never saying goodbye. Lan Hongda did not stop it, this is how their father and son get along. Today, the fact that they can say so much here is quite a difference.
The sun outside was already lying high, and the ancestral hall was a little dim inside, but when he got outside, he felt that the sunlight was so dazzling and dazzling, Lan Yi blocked the strong light with his hand, and then saw that Xiao Liuzi had come forward, he tried his best to stand on his toes and wanted to shield Lan Yi, but Lan Yi didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Young Master, are you alright?" Xiao Liuzi's face was full of worry. The two subordinates next to him were also staring at Lan Yi's face with curiosity, and they also wanted to know why there was no sound after the low roar came from inside.
"You want something to happen to me?" Lan Yi's eyes were already a little adapted, and he asked Xiao Liuzi with a white face.
"What did the young master say? I just thought that if something happened to me, I wouldn't think about the young master's accident. Xiao Liuzi was anxious, and reached out and unconsciously wiped a handful of his eyes.
"How can the people who follow me Lan Yi be so unproductive? I don't like men who wipe their tears at every turn! The corners of Lan Yi's mouth twitched with some disgust.
"No, who said I wiped my tears? Where do I have tears? It's obviously wind...... The wind blew in my eyes just now. Xiao Liuzi argued, but Lan Yi didn't pay attention to him at all, and walked in front and urged, "Don't talk nonsense here, let's go!" ”
"Young Master! Where are you going? Didn't you say it's okay? Why are you still ......" Xiao Liuzi trotted and followed.
"Go back to your room! Could it be that I still have to live outside this ancestral hall? Lan Yi's words drifted in the wind.
"Young Master? So you're not leaving? Xiao Liuzi's happy voice sounded in the air.
"You hope I can't make it?" Lan Yi asked.
"How so? Of course I don't want the young master to go! Xiao Liuzi almost jumped up with joy.
"Then satisfy your hopes!" Lan Yi said so many things for the first time, and he didn't seem to have any gloom.
"Young Master! Are you right? You can stay in the house like this? Xiao Liuzi asked in disbelief.
"Why can't I keep my own home?" I don't know why, Lan Yi seems to like teasing this little Liuzi.
"Yes, yes, the young master is right!" Little Liuzi laughed,
The figures of the master and servant quickly passed through a rockery in front of them and disappeared behind it, and only the sound of talking could be faintly heard, but the figures were no longer visible.
"Isn't our young master leaving?" Staying where he was, Ah Sheng stared blankly at the scene happening in front of him, and asked his companions for a long time. They had been trying to find out something from Lan Yi's face just now, but after watching and listening for a long time, except that the young master was still staying in the mansion as before, it seemed that they didn't see anything, they didn't hear anything.
This is very different from what they imagined! They can't believe their eyes, and they can't believe their ears! On the day of the incident, their lord almost smashed the entire Blue Mansion, and their angry lord scolded the young master in front of him for two hours! Cruel words are a lot of words, what kind of broken legs, screwing off heads, swearing not to let this bastard into the house or something...... Can ...... now
The two subordinates were stunned, they couldn't understand, how could things have become so bizarre? It's just that the young master is back, and everything can be calm? Ah Sheng couldn't believe it, and neither could his companions!
"Seems like so." Ah Sheng's companion said neerly.
"The master just let the young master go?" Ah Sheng asked blankly.
"Seems like so." Ah Sheng's companion said in a trance.
"Then we just now, were we a little disrespectful to the young master?" Ah Sheng said with his mouth half-open.
"Seems like so." Ah Sheng's companion replied.
"Can you say anything else besides that?" Ah Sheng glared angrily.
"I said, it seems that we should go and apologize to the young master!"
"Why don't you go quickly?" Ah Sheng slammed his companion's head on the head.
"Yes...... Master...... Here's ...... sir."
"You stay here first, I'll go first! If the lord asks, he will say that I have gone to the thatched house, and I will come soon! Ah Sheng ran in the direction Lan Yi left without looking back, one was anxious and unsteady on his feet, and he almost broke his foot.
