"You...... Know my grandfather?" the first sentence that Old Man Fu said made Shi Zhiyi excited.

His grandfather, who died before he was born, never had the opportunity to see his old man. He asked his father about his grandfather, but he only said that he had died of illness, but he was obviously reluctant to talk about it. Shi Zhiyi was a very sensible child, and he knew that this issue might make his father sad, so he was kind enough to never bring it up again.

Shi Zhiyi has been dependent on his father since he was a child, without any brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, never seen his mother, and never met his grandparents...... He and Yu Zhongqian's brothers and sisters traveled all the way, and they were extremely envious of each other in their hearts, they had a brother and sister who were siblings of their mothers, they had the love of their mothers, their uncles who doted on them, and their grandfather, who was famous all over the world...... All of this was something he had never experienced before.

Now, he suddenly heard Old Man Fu mention his grandfather, and his excitement can be imagined.

"Hehe, it's not just acquaintance...... Your grandfather is my best friend, best friend in this life. Unconsciously, Old Man Fu accentuated the three words "best", and there was nostalgia in his eyes.

"Your grandfather Shi Shuyuan and I met at the Spring Festival Conference fifty-eight years ago. That year, he took the top spot, and I was only in the top 16. It was your grandfather who beat me in the battle for eight. ”

"But as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, we are the same age, we have similar interests, and we soon got acquainted and became friends. Both of us are from a family, young and vigorous, and we think that the world is so big, where can we go?"

"In the following ten years, the two of us walked side by side, through the Yuezhu Forest Sea, a sacred place of martial arts that is incomparably revered in the eyes of others, sailed on Wulai Island, which is rarely visited on the mainland, and infiltrated the Rilian tribe of the Jingman clan in the southwest forest for a gamble with the Beigong family......

"Looking back now, although I am often embarrassed, it was the most energetic years of my life, and even though I have a reputation over the years, I have never regained the vividness and pride of those years. ”

"Later, we each got married and took on the responsibilities of our own families, but every few years, we would meet to learn martial arts and discuss with each other. Later, we both became fathers, and children became an indispensable topic of conversation when we met. ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Fu didn't know why he stopped the topic, his eyes were slightly closed, and the ups and downs in the ocean were all covered.

Shi Zhiyi didn't dare to say anything to disturb, so he sat quietly, trying to integrate his perception into the omnipresent feeling of this space.

More than a quarter of an hour passed, and Old Man Fu opened his eyes again, looking at Shi Zhiyi, who had gathered his own breath and was merging with this space, revealing a strong color of appreciation.

Seeing Old Man Fu staring at him, Shi Zhiyi bowed slightly, and said in confusion: "Since you and my grandfather have a good relationship, why do I almost never hear my father mention it?"

"As I mentioned earlier, we both became fathers, and he had his only son, named Huaichuan, and my first child was a daughter, named Qinghan. Huaichuan is three years older than Qinghan, and the two of them are the right age, so we made the decision and made a white head appointment for the two children. ”

Shi Zhiyi was dumbfounded when he heard this, it turned out that his father still had such a marriage contract? Old Man Fu has a son and a daughter, and the son is naturally the young master of the Fu family that he has seen on the road, Fu Qianru, and the daughter is the mother of the Yu brothers and sisters, the concubine Fu of the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. In this way, Fu Qinghan is naturally the mother of Zhong Qian and Yi Ning, so why did she not marry her father and became the emperor's favorite concubine?

Could it be that His Majesty is snatching love with a knife today?

Thinking of this, and thinking of the Great Jin Dynasty Emperor's personal guard Feiyuwei, who secretly investigated the intelligence of Yunqi City when he was serving in Long Zhangwei in the past, Shi Zhiyi faintly had some guesses about the not so harmonious relationship between Yunqi City and the royal family.

When Old Man Fu saw Shi Zhiyi's expression, he already knew what he was thinking, and smiled slightly, but he didn't break it, but on the quiet sea, he once again revealed a sense of nostalgia.

"Huaichuan has been a genius since he was a child, forging bones at the age of nine, washing the marrow at the age of thirteen, breaking dawn at the age of seventeen, and at the age of twenty-one, he won the first place in the Spring Conference of that year, and it is also the youngest leader in the more than 600 years since the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty. Before him, the youngest person on the list was twenty-two years old, and that person was none other than your grandfather Shi Shuyuan. ”

Old Man Fu said while looking at Shi Zhiyi with a smile, "In the past hundred years, as long as the Shi family participates in the Spring Festival, the champion must be in your pocket. Now you seem to be better than Huaichuan back then. Of course, you will only be eighteen in two years, and if you want to break Huaichuan's championship record that year, the difficulty will be even higher. ”

Shi Zhiyi remembered the news that his father promised him about his mother, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, but naturally he would not be too arrogant in front of Old Man Fu, and just said: "The younger generation will work hard." ”

Old Man Fu nodded and continued: "With such a talented son, every time your grandfather meets me, the topic is naturally inseparable from Huaichuan, your grandfather is really proud of Huaichuan's child." Later, when the two children were a little older, we would often bring them with us when we met, so that they could cultivate their relationship early, hoping to usher in the day when the two of us would become in-laws. ”

"But just when the two children had grown up and we thought the time was ripe for marriage, Huai Chuan told your grandfather that he was in love with another woman and was unwilling to fulfill the marriage contract with Qinghan. ”

"Is this woman you are talking about my mother, have you ever seen her?" Shi Zhiyi hurriedly asked.

"I haven't met your mother, but the woman who can make Huaichuan tempted and want to be with her even if she doesn't hesitate to turn against your grandfather is naturally a very, very good woman. Old Man Fu sighed and continued: "Your grandfather naturally resolutely opposes Huai Chuan and your mother's dealings, but continues to fulfill the agreement between us - but Huai Chuan's attitude is also extremely resolute, no matter what way your grandfather forced him, he couldn't make him change his mind. ”

"Maybe your grandfather spent too much effort and energy in the dispute with Huaichuan, or maybe he felt ashamed of his old friend because he failed to fulfill this marriage contract, and two years later, at the peak age of our martial arts practice, he couldn't afford to be ill, and he died of depression. And when I got the news that he was critically ill, I didn't have time to see him for the last time, even though I galloped all the way. ”

In the room, there was no sound except for the trembling of the flame of the ever-bright lamp.

Old Man Fu and Shi Zhiyi, both old and young, fell into silence.
