The old man of the Jiushan family sat flat on the white jade couch - seeing that his anger had subsided a little, and he was not as strict as yesterday - seeing Jiang Yan coming, he was kind and gave him a little face, first motioned for him to sit, let the children of the clan pour tea and serve a few pieces of refreshments, and the idle people all retreated, so they took the lead in picking up the teacup and taking a sip, clearing their throats, and speaking: "Junior of the Jiang family, words and deeds can be casual." ”

Jiang Yan sat still, unwilling to believe any more words from this group of people. He was at eye level with the old man, and this move was approved by the old man, otherwise he would not be said to be a junior of a broken subordinate family, and it was estimated that few people in the entire Jiushan family could have such rights.

He looked at the old man with neat short hair and no stubble on his chin, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart. New humans generally age slowly, although the person in front of him has obvious wrinkles, but the spirit is quite good, the eyes are also sharp and bright, and he looks like an ordinary person is about seventy years old, but this person is a new human being, I don't know how many flowers there are, but the actual age must go up.

The Jiushan family can fight for the position of the first new human monopoly family in country C, it must be quite extraordinary, and at this time, the head of this huge family is sitting in front of him, saying that it is false not to be frightened, Jiang Yan felt like a cold mang on his back, his breathing was stagnant, and he did not dare to act rashly.

The old man didn't really expect Jiang Yan to be able to relieve their hostility, he looked directly at this immature junior as he usually talked to people, moistened his lips, and asked:

"Would you like to go to school?"

“...... What? ”

"I ask you: Would you like to go to school?"

Jiang Yan was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to throw such a question.

The question is almost the same: Would you like to fit into the new human community?

But going to school was something he had always longed for, and at the moment he had no other way out than to say yes. So he said, "Yes." ”

The old man didn't express the slightest surprise, just bowed his head and played with the partridge spotted teapot lid in his palm: "The blood in your body should be more deeply affected by 'Udeshido', Udeshido is a god of war, you are very suitable for this development...... The subject of the newspaper specializing in this outer god is very advantageous. ”

"Sign up for this class, and in the end I will become a subordinate of the Udehi family, like those robes at the trial?"

Like them, who are not afraid of death, like an emotionless weapon, can they abandon their lives at any time for the benefit of the Udehy family? Jiang Yan didn't ask, he believed that the head of the family in front of him could understand what he wanted to ask.

The old man made a move in his hand, but did not hide it: "Yes." ”

"I don't want to go down this path."

"It's because you don't want to be a member of the staff of the Udoshi family," the old man lowered his eyes and paused for a moment, "...... Or are you reluctant to get involved with the new humans? ”

This was quite polite, Jiang Yan suddenly fell silent, this can hardly be regarded as a temptation, but can be said to be a clear question. If it weren't for the fact that the old man's tone was still very steady, I am afraid that the new human group would have warned him.

The old man didn't leave him time to digest this sentence, which was originally a very straightforward sentence. He just glanced at this junior slightly, took a sip of tea, and came to a firm conclusion: "Then you won't be willing to study the history of country C." ”

Jiang Yan still didn't speak, but his expression had already replied to the old man.

"So what are you going to learn? Junior? The old man put down the teacup and tapped his knuckles on his knees, his knuckles were vigorous and powerful, and they were slightly white, "As you wish, stay away from killing, go to learn new human medicine, and be a reserve army like the boss?" ”

His tapping on the leg bone suddenly stopped, as he saw the young man's eyes light up slightly.

Jiang Yan knew that he was talking about Jiushan Palace. Jiushan Gong originally studied chemistry and chemical engineering, and was not admitted to the joint school, but with the ability to surpass everyone else in his field for the new human instrument, even if he himself was not willing to get involved in this organization, but the rich scientific research resources and conditions prescribed by the review meeting were too good, so that it attracted this scientific research madman to study the new human medicine of the joint school for the second time.

In fact, Jiushan Palace and the review committee should be in a "cooperative" relationship.

The so-called new human medicine is an auxiliary specialty born in response to the functional structure of the new human being, which essentially belongs to the logistics line, and in the eyes of the new human beings who advocate absolute power, such people must have no value to win over.

Then they wouldn't have had too much communication with him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan's breathing was slightly short.

But he couldn't show it too obviously, so he had to restrain himself with all his might, showing that he was only interested in this specialty, and tried to say in a calm tone: "I hope to be able to choose this new human medicine." ”

"If you choose this major, it is very likely that you will not be able to enter the review committee when you are old, and you can only stay in the local organization or family." The old man spoke clearly, emphasizing the consequences of choosing this major, laying reality naked in front of him, "Although this may be a good thing for you, you have to think about it carefully." ”

Jiang Yan took a deep breath and weighed it seriously for a long time. It's just to avoid "causing killings with his own hands", choosing this major is indeed a good choice, but whether he can enter the review meeting - although he avoids that place - is something he hasn't considered at all, maybe joining the review committee can help the declining Jiang family up.

The old man did not disturb him, and allowed him to sit there in silence, and then spread out a book and read it to himself.

After he read two or three chapters, he heard a faint sound, raised his eyes calmly, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Yan moving his numb body slightly, and he knew in his heart: It's strange to sit in one position for so long, not numb!

At such an event, Jiang Yan also took the opportunity to speak: "I have thought clearly: I am willing to learn new human medicine." This is a decision I made on my own, and I will bear the consequences. ”

This is the second decision he made on his own in life. The first decision came at a terrible price because it was completely unaware of its consequences, but it had come to this point, and there was absolutely no possibility of backsliding.

He admired the old man's willingness to spread out all possibilities to point out to him, but in addition to this, his resistance to the new human race did not diminish because of this, and the new human medical profession saved him from directly intervening in the new human race's struggle, and allowed him to gain insight into the new human beings' weaknesses in order to defend himself, which was his best choice in every way.

"Decided?" The old man didn't comment on the quality of his decision, but just asked this nonchalantly.

Jiang Yan nodded.

"Go your own way." The old man didn't feel any regret for the fact that such an excellent war seedling chose an unpopular major, and only added at the end: "You are like this, after all, it was caused by Lao Jiu, and I told her to take care of you more in school." ”

"Although I don't have any opinion on whether you join the Jiushan family or not, since you are already here, I will treat you as a junior in Lao Jiu's lineage. If you encounter something in school, you can report the name of the Jiushan family," the old man closed the book, stood up, and motioned for Jiang Yan to leave, "When you go out, inform Mr. Da and ask him to call Lao Jiu in." ”

.........

...

In August, in the equatorial region, torrential rains poured in.

The start date of school is in September, but Jiushan Akira - aka Елех - insists on rejecting the proposal to travel by family plane, and charters a private cruise ship from the shipping company under the command of his brother Jiushan Shang, with sufficient supplies, and plans to take his children to the target island by sea.

After walking on the sea for more than ten days, the closer I got to the island, the stronger the wind and waves, and the torrential rain also threw down on my body like stones. Even if it is such a big ship with a stable foundation, it is inevitable that it will be bumpy on the sea, and the flag embroidered with the family crest of the Jiushan family will hunt in the wind.

The family suddenly realized: in such bad weather, the plane could not go straight to arrive.

The cruise ship rests at sea for three or two days, and waits for the sun to come out before continuing the voyage. In short, a big storm was not encountered, but it was enough for these young masters and young ladies in the capital to suffer from the old nose in such a turbulent way on the sea.

But Jiushan Ming didn't care whether there was resentment in the hearts of this group of people at all, she lived a very comfortable life, reading books, fishing, fishing, moving a small bench to sit on the railing to enjoy the bright moon on the sea, and playing the accordion in the house from time to time.

Compared with them, Jiang Yan, who is originally from the south, has adapted well.

By the time we reached the island, a few of the less sturdy ones had already vomited on the reef, and they had to support each other to drag their soft legs and barely walk a few steps. Jiu Shan Ming had no intention of going up to help him at all, and now there were not enough people, so Jiang Yan couldn't stay away, so he had to go up to help. The wind on the island is humid and smells of the sea, and the people of the capital are not used to it. However, when they entered the joint school, they saw more than just people in the family, so no matter how uncomfortable they were, the young people of the Jiushan family stiffened their waists, took a deep breath to cheer themselves up, and then followed Jiushan Ming through the gate of the joint school as usual.

There were already a lot of people in the school, and their faces weren't much better. The teacher in charge of the reception instructed the workers to unload their bags, and the students who rubbed shoulders with them were accustomed to saluting Jiushan Ming.

The teacher who registered the information gave them a comparison form: "C Graduate Student in Literature and History, Jiushan Ming." Three-year-old ,...... This year's new enrollment includes...... Jiang Yan? The Minnan Jiang family has an independent form. Is Jiang Yan counted as the Jiushan family? ”

Jiang Yan followed her guidance and looked, five or six young oriental men stood not far from them, their eyes were on the same as him, first puzzled, and then a little disgusted.

His little anticipation and sense of belonging was shattered. They must have heard the rumors, and he was not qualified to return to his family.
