Chapter 1049: The Prodigal Son Turns Back
"Childe, the second son of the Xiao family just sent someone to come, saying that there was a banquet in a while, and he also sent you an invitation." Fu Zhang, with an honest face, followed behind Shangguan Beicang honestly.
Shangguan Beicang nodded, and then ordered: "I know, old man, you prepare some gifts for me, you don't need to be too expensive, Brother Xiao is a scholar, and he doesn't like those things." ”
"Understood." Fu Zhangyi responded with a smile, looking at the back of Shangguan Beicang leaving, he suddenly felt a feeling in his heart, the little young master has really grown up, it's a pity.
Since the fire in the Gongsun family, Shangguan Beicang seems to have grown up overnight, he no longer talks about the word Jianghu every day, but takes the initiative to take over the family industry that he hated very much.
At first glance, Shangguan Beicang seems to have finally turned back as a prodigal son, and after getting out of the quagmire of the rivers and lakes, he has returned to the right path.
But Shangguan Shaoqin knew, and Fu Zhangyi also knew, that this was just a means used by the other party to escape reality.
Before the fire in the Gongsun family, the eldest lady of Gongsun used a wonderful means to put a hat on Shangguan Shaoqin's head that looked like green but not green, so that Shangguan Beicang, who didn't understand this matter, was also greatly affected.
For the first time, Shangguan Beicang was horrified to find that the identity he had always kept in mind was so important to him.
It's not that Shangguan Beicang was completely blinded by money and status, but once he recalled his mother's intimacy with Wen Shenyang, and thought that he might not be a child of the Shangguan family, and that everything now would have nothing to do with him, he felt so painful that he couldn't breathe.
After Wen Shenyang went crazy, his mother didn't push him like usual and hoped that he would continue to practice martial arts and walk the rivers and lakes in the future, losing the thrust of others, Shangguan Beicang immediately began to move in the opposite direction.
His father, Shangguan Shaoqin, who used to feel very uncomfortable getting along with him, has become an object to be treated carefully in his heart at this moment.
The troubles in the blood have always made Shangguan Beicang very frightened, so that after following his father to the capital, the other party took him to meet a series of friends and integrated him into this circle, and he was simply moved.
The guilt in his heart and an indescribable timidity made Shangguan Beicang show an unprecedented deference when facing his father.
At the same time, as he gradually came into contact with these family businesses, he slowly realized how ridiculous his ideas were.
What Shangguan Shaoqin wanted to leave him was an unimaginably large business empire and a staggeringly complex network of relationships, not to mention anything else, just talking about these students in the academy, he didn't know how much help he could bring.
It was at this time that Shangguan Beicang sadly discovered that the free and unrestrained chivalrous warriors he once longed for were in the eyes of most people, and in the eyes of most people, they were a virtuous existence with the street gangsters.
This made Shangguan Beicang feel more and more inferior in his heart, and at the same time, he also admired his father, who was born as a merchant but was able to attract these big families to treat each other politely.
In fact, this point was deliberately guided by someone, because freedom in the eyes of real chivalry is not uncontrolled lawlessness, they have their own ambitions and ideals, and they also follow the moral constraints of their hearts, and the most important point is -
Chivalrous people are at ease, they never need others to agree or affirm anything, and because of this, the rivers and lakes are incompatible with the temple.
Shangguan Beicang has only learned the form, and no one has taught him the gods inside, and there is no way to teach this kind of thing, so at this moment, he will feel confused and inferior, and at the same time cherish everything he has in his hands at this moment.
And this humility is exactly what Shangguan Shaoqin needs, since he received the teacher's letter, he took his wife and children north to Beijing, and his next series of actions also proved that he was cultivating Shangguan Beicang as an heir.
Reasonably, he has made people speechless, no matter who looks at it, this is the work of a father who loves his children.
In the extravagant and moving room, Le Zhili was like a well-dressed doll, sitting with a pair of godless eyes, and the maids beside her were like wooden stakes, without saying a word.
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and then Shangguan Beicang walked into the room with a complicated face: "Mother." ”
This call made Le Zhili's trance-like gaze gradually focus, and she showed a pale smile: "Beicang is here, have you eaten, I'll let you"
"No need," Shangguan Beicang's tone was a little distant, and he said, "The child has an appointment with Xiao Gongzi, and he won't be at home to eat with his mother today." ”
Le Zhili opened her mouth, looking at the increasingly strange child, she said with a somewhat lost expression: "Didn't you hate these drinking party socials the most in the past, why now-"
"Mother, don't talk about it, the child, as a child of the Shangguan family, should be like this, don't mention the affairs of the rivers and lakes in the future."
Shangguan Beicang interrupted Le Zhili's words a little impatiently, and he was also a little distressed in his heart about his mother's mournful eyes, but he was more complaining.
If it weren't for the unclear relationship between his mother and Wen Shenyang, why would he be walking on thin ice like today, even if others don't know, even if his father loves him as always, but there is a hurdle in his heart that he can't get over.
Because of this, he is also a lot less close to his mother, and he still has resentment in his heart, naturally he can't get along with his mother like he used to, and even at a certain moment, he will feel pity for his father who knows nothing.
"There is one more thing," Shangguan Beicang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The son is not too young, and the mother has to worry about this marriage, what the father means is that the New Year is approaching, and he wants his mother to walk around with several families in Beijing who are good friends with Shangguan, and by the way, he will see each other for his son." ”
"This" Le Zhili was stunned, he vaguely remembered that his son would never accept the woman the family chose for him, saying that he wanted to marry a woman he liked, at that time, she even felt quite relieved, because in a sense, her son was fulfilling her wish.
Looking at her son, who was more and more similar to Shangguan Shaoqin, Le Zhili was suddenly a little stunned.
"The mother was bothered, and the son retired." After Shangguan Beicang finished speaking, he retreated, Le Zhili raised her hand and wanted to stay, but she didn't know what to say, and the sadness in her heart became stronger and stronger for a while.
On the other side, Shangguan Beicang left home with the gift that Fu Zhangyi had prepared for him, and everything about him was reported to Shangguan Shaoqin.
"It's not too late for the prodigal son to turn back, this kid woke up a little late, but fortunately, he has good talents."
Shangguan Shaoqin finished reading the record handed over by Fu Zhangyi, then picked up another letter on the table, and sighed: "It's a pity that Lord Lu seems to can't wait, otherwise I'm quite looking forward to what kind of surprise that kid can bring us." ”
