Chapter 860: Before and After the Sun Sets
Chen Changsheng didn't know what Tang Thirty-six was going to do when he came to the old mansion, and he didn't know why he wanted to play this game with the old lady.
It wasn't until Tang Thirty-six said his request later that he understood.
Chen Changsheng took the people of the state religion and took the risk to come to Wenshui City, and put on the strongest posture, which changed Mrs. Tang's mind.
Tang Thirty-six was released from the ancestral hall, and the second master of the Tang family didn't know where he was imprisoned.
If it was an ordinary person, he would probably express his gratitude to Chen Changsheng and those people outside the house, and then think about how to repay it in the future. But Tang Thirty-six is not an ordinary person, he does not follow the usual path, he knows very well that such affection can only be repaid by the Tang family.
The old house is quiet.
The snow on the edge of the well melts in the sunlight and falls silently down the wall of the well.
Old Lady Tang said expressionlessly: "If the state religion finally loses this war, no matter how you know about the Tang family, how can you threaten me if you don't have a card in your hand? Since you have been thinking about it in the ancestral hall for half a year, it is impossible not to think of this, then, what do you want?"
"I want my second uncle to die, die immediately, and I must die before the sun sets today. ”
Tang Thirty-six looked at Old Lady Tang's eyes and said calmly: "Then I want the Tang family to remain neutral in this war." ”
Old Lady Tang was silent for a long time and said, "If I say no, those words on the dossier will be turned into real means by you?"
Tang Thirty-six said: "Not bad. ”
Old Lady Tang looked at the emerald green bamboo cards on the table, frowned slightly and said, "You are really messy with this hand." ”
Tang Thirty-six said: "Chen Changsheng and I are both young people, and so are the ones outside the house, and of course their card skills are not as spicy as yours." But we have the courage to flip the table at any time, because we can do another game, but you can't, because you're old. ”
Old Lady Tang looked at Tang Thirty-six and suddenly said, "Have you ever thought that maybe after yesterday, I am ready to make you the head of the house?"
Purely from the interests of the family, after yesterday's incident, it now seems that the best heir of the Tang family is of course Tang Thirty-six.
If Shang Xingzhou and the imperial court win, Old Lady Tang still has enough time to change Tang Thirty-six's opinion, or directly change the choice of the head of the family. If Chen Changsheng and the State Religion win, Old Lady Tang only needs to hand over the Tang family to Tang Thirty-six, and Wenshui City will not be affected in any way.
Chen Changsheng hadn't thought about these things, these things were a bit complicated for him.
He is not good at dealing with the complicated rights and wrongs in the world, but only good at looking at people.
Those days in the National Religious Academy made him very clear that Tang Thirty-six didn't want to be the head of the family.
But Tang Thirty-six must have thought about these questions, so why is his attitude so fierce today?
"Even if I became the head of the family many years later, I am more concerned about the attitude of the family in recent years. ”
"And unilateral promises are never as strong as agreements reached under mutual threats," Tang said. ”
Old Lady Tang said, "You don't believe me?"
Tang Thirty-six said: "So many things have happened, don't you sound ridiculous to believe this kind of word?"
"From the first day you were born, you have been the next generation of Tang family heads I have chosen, don't forget, it's you, not your father! How many things have I done to be able to take over as the head of the family? How much has the Tang family paid? As a result, you? You are stupid to stand on his side because of the so-called affection!"
The more Old Lady Tang spoke, the more angry he became, his voice became higher and higher, and when he said the last sentence, he pointed directly at Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng silently moved to the side, avoiding the finger.
"Stupid affection? If it weren't for it, I'd still be pretending to be dumb in the ancestral hall. ”
Tang Thirty-six finally became angry and shouted, "If Chen Changsheng wasn't my friend, I would have died three years ago!"
Old Lady Tang looked at him and said angrily, "Do you still think that I will really kill you?"
Tang Thirty-six sneered, "Of course you will kill me, anyway, you only need to wash your hands and eat a few tables of vegetarian food, and you will feel that you are not guilty!"
This is the second time that the word vegetarian has appeared in the old mansion of the Tang family.
Yesterday, there was news from the ancestral hall that Tang Thirty-six asked someone to go to Jiming Nunnery to carry a vegetarian meal.
It's just that vegetarian food hasn't been done yet, and everything is over.
Just like yesterday, after hearing the word vegetarian fast, Old Lady Tang's face became extremely ugly, and his hands trembled slightly.
I don't know how long it took, but Old Lady Tang finally calmed down and asked, "How does it taste?"
"The vegetarian table was sent into the ancestral hall at night, and it was already cold. ”
Tang Thirty-six was silent for a while, and said: "The taste is ordinary, and it is not real meat, it is not as good as the previous Chenghu Building, and it is not as good as the canteen of the National Education College. ”
Old Lady Tang was silent for a long time, and then said, "Is it? After I die, I don't know if anyone wants to eat it." ”
"Grandpa, that's the biggest difference between us. ”
At this point in today's long conversation, Tang Thirty-six finally shouted these two words for the first time.
But these two words did not make the atmosphere in the room warmer, but even colder, like his next voice.
"Yes, in order to train me to be the family of the Tang family, in the past twenty years, you have indeed treated me very well, and the family has indeed paid a lot, but have you thought about it...... Those are not what I want, and they are not what everyone in the family is willing to accept, such as the fact that there is no queen in the house!"
Tang Thirty-six said angrily: "Yes, my Tang family has its own cultivation talent, and it has a long lifespan, in the future, after a thousand years, I will be completely in charge of the family business, and you can give birth to as you want, those younger brothers and sisters are much younger than me, and they can no longer threaten me...... But have you ever thought about being too ruthless?"
"The fourth aunt secretly conceived a child that year, and went back to her parents' house to hide for five months under the pretext that her mother was seriously ill, but you still knew that you wanted the fourth uncle to force the fourth aunt to take the medicine of the child! Have you ever thought about how painful the fourth aunt was? Compared with the hateful eyes that the long house received, what is the hateful eyes?"
"As for the vegetarian food of Jiming Mountain...... You don't have to worry because I'm not you. ”
Tang Thirty-six glanced at the old lady with some disappointment, got up and walked outside the house.
Chen Changsheng also left.
Old Lady Tang was the only one left in the house.
He sat alone at the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
Those emerald green bamboo signs lay quietly on the table like this, never moved again.
......
......
The clouds reunited, and the river was quiet and dark at night,
If it was before, the river here would have been lit up with a lot of lights.
Tang Thirty-six sat by the river and looked at the dark opposite bank, thinking about those days in the past.
Chen Changsheng was also there, and today he came to the manor of the Tang family's house again as a guest, but not as a pope, but as a friend.
Not long ago, news came from the old mansion that Mrs. Tang agreed to Tang Thirty-six's request, I don't know if it was because of that game, or because of the determination of the young man to dare to overturn the table.
Or, just because of the vegetarian food of the Jiming Temple.
Tang Thirty-six suddenly asked, "Do you want to know this story?"
Chen Changsheng said: "If you want to say it. ”
......
