Chapter 22: Farewell and Return, Wandering the Rivers and Lakes

"Hanwen, have you thought about it?" Old Lady He's voice was as usual, but her left hand on the desk trembled a little.

He Hanwen knew that his grandmother was reluctant, but in fact, he didn't want to be separated from this wise, stern but gentle old lady. However, he still said firmly: "Grandma, Hanwen has made up his mind, don't say anything more." Han Wen is the heir of the family, and the survival of the family must be the first priority. If Shehanwen alone can save the family from danger, he should give it up. ”

Old Mrs. He listened, nodded, but looked in the direction of He Jin and didn't say anything more.

Mrs. He knew He Hanwen. He seems to be reckless, but in fact he is stubborn, which is very similar to He Jin. The old lady didn't like He Xian, but he liked this second son - she thought He Hanwen's intelligence was likable.

From the perspective of pure interests, He Hanwen's departure from the He family is not only in line with the long-term interests of the He family, but also provides an insurance for the continuation of the race, and is probably the best choice for today's situation.

Mrs. He and He Jin knew that this group of people had formed a group of friends and came to the He Mansion to force the palace together. They just saw that the He family was getting stronger and stronger, and some people were dissatisfied and wanted to kill the prestige of the He family in Nanyang; while some people wanted to gain some benefits from this incident; and some people, those enemies of the He family, they would not see the He family become bigger, and they were trying to use this incident to suppress the He family.

He Jin and Mrs. He actually have the same meaning, that is, they must maintain He Hanwen no matter what, which is related to the face of the He family. However, what everyone didn't expect was that He Hanwen took the initiative to respond to this matter, which caught Qingtianlou led by Ge Shu Xingwen, as well as those with ulterior motives, as well as those who opposed the elders of the He family, off guard.

Originally, they were temporarily united for the sake of unanimous interests. However, Ho's actions have rendered all of their carefully planned tricks useless.

Everyone knows that Ge Shu Xingwen's previous proposal to burn He Hanwen to death will never agree to it. This will be the eldest grandson Wuwu put forward a plan to take a step back, and He Hanwen took the initiative to respond, and those who tried to make profits had no excuse. Now that He Hanwen has been removed from the family tree and left the He family's mansion, what else can these people do?

Therefore, the banquet suddenly fell silent, and those noisy and earnest objections gradually stopped.

He Jin saw that He Hanwen had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, Hanwen, from tomorrow, you will be removed from the He family tree." Father-in-law Li, He Mou spoke in a word, and this matter was revealed in this way, and I also asked Father-in-law Li to be a witness, He Mou will be the son of tomorrow tomorrow, how so?"

Gonggong Li immediately stood up from the banquet and saluted, and said: "The general alone is in charge, and the villain only passes on one word, admittedly, there is naturally no problem to be a witness." ”

He Jin saw that the meaning of the palace was confirmed, so he asked the banquet again, "Do you have any objections?"

There was no word.

"Then it should be so, and those who wish to stay in a certain place shall be treated as guests, and those who do not wish may have a meal and go away on their own. ”

Everyone got up one after another, saying that since the matter was over, they would no longer bother anymore, and dispersed one after another, leaving only Brother Shu Xingwen and the eldest grandson worry-free.

"Do you want to stay overnight?" asked Mrs. He unhappily.

"Old Madam He. The eldest grandson knew the reason why the old lady was unhappy, so he first saluted respectfully, and then said: "The younger generation knows the old lady's thoughts. However, the younger generation did not have hostile intentions with the He family in Nanyang. The divination made by the younger generations during the banquet was truthful. The younger generation is stationed here, but he has a few words and wants to talk to He Gongzi. ”

Mrs. He doesn't sell the face of her eldest grandson, but he treats her with courtesy, and Mrs. He can't be mean, so she replied: "Hmph, you just go and ask, just see if my child is willing to talk to you." After that, he left with the support of Mrs. Wang, and he was reluctant to look at He Hanwen's eyes.

The eldest grandson walked up to He Hanwen without worry and bowed deeply.

He Hanwen was shocked and said, "Mr. Worry-free, why is this?

The eldest grandson Wuwu stood up and said, "Childe, what Wuwu said in the previous banquet was not intended to target Gongzi, but it is true that the He family will inevitably have this calamity. I deeply admire the demeanor and consciousness of He Gongzi, and I am willing to make friends with Gongzi, if Gongzi is in need, he only needs to inform the Qingtianlou industry everywhere, and Qingtianlou will definitely help!"

He Hanwen cautiously did not show an expression of ecstasy, but faintly said that he knew, and if he needed it, he would definitely ask for help. This brother Shu Xingwen and the eldest grandson Wuwu glanced at He Hanwen again, and then left.

Ge Shu Xingwen: "Don't worry, how do you think of this?"

The eldest grandson has no worries: "If you get the Tao, you will benefit the world, and if you enter the evil, you will endanger the common people." ”

Geshu Xingwen: "Oh? I heard that Xu Shao of Runan once commented on Cao Mengde's ability to rule the world and the hero of troubled times. Wu Wuru has a very high opinion of the second son of the He family! I heard that he is good friends with Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu?"

The eldest grandson is worry-free: "Yes." ”

Ge Shu Xingwen: "I think this son is much stronger than He Xian, we might as well fish on both sides?"

The eldest grandson is carefree: "Worry-free doesn't think this is a clever plan, He Xian, jackals, if you are hungry and thirsty, you will eat people." ”

Ge Shu Xingwen: "Don't worry about it, jackal, as long as you do it properly, you will be like a guinea dog!"

The eldest grandson has no worries: "I hope so, I will arrange the line of He Xizhi properly." ”

Ge Shu Xingwen: "That's fine. ”

Day 2.

He Hanwen actually didn't sleep all night.

After the guests dispersed, Mrs. He summoned He Jin and He Hanwen into the inner mansion, leaving only the old woman Wang to wait.

Mrs. He lay on her side on the bed weakly, and Mrs. Wang pouted and stood aside. He Hanwen knelt near Mrs. He, and He Jin sat opposite Mrs. He.

For about half an hour, Mrs. He didn't say a word. He Hanwen naturally knew that his grandmother was in a bad mood, and he wanted to comfort him a few more words, but he didn't know how to speak. Moreover, He Hanwen hates separation, which makes him feel like he is stuck in his throat.

As for He Jin, he probably knows his mother's temperament. Old Lady He is very angry now, although He Jin is the head of the family, he never dares to be rude to Old Lady He, so he can only lower his head, raise his eyelids slightly, and peek at the change in Old Lady He's expression.

"Sui Gao. Mrs. He said solemnly, but her tone was a little helpless.

He Jin immediately replied: "Mother, Hanwen... ”

However, Mrs. He interrupted He Jin's words and said, "Sui Gao, I know, I can't blame you for this matter." ”

He Jin felt that the authority of the He family had been seriously challenged in this matter. However, this lingering feeling of powerlessness could not be resolved by him. Everyone can see that this group of people has been carefully planned, and even the Son of Heaven may have been pressured by some quarters and had to acquiesce. He Jin definitely didn't believe that his sister didn't do anything the side of the Son of Heaven, however, the result was obvious, they didn't lose this game, but they did lose.

"Hanwen, what do you plan to do in the future?" He Jin didn't want to face Old Lady He's lonely expression, so he turned to He Hanwen to ask.

He Hanwen replied: "Father, don't feel sad, this can be regarded as a sacrifice made by Hanwen for the family." For the long-term development of the family, someone must make sacrifices, and Hanwen is a concubine, so he should give priority to making sacrifices. It doesn't hurt that my father and my brother can serve by my side. However, Hanwen has a few words to say to his father, father, Hanwen thinks that the He family will definitely be able to reach a huge height, but the He family is now a big man, and after Hanwen leaves, his father will only have one son. The father must have more children, and the brother must get married as soon as possible. Why has grandma's family worked all her life, and recruiting a son-in-law is really a temporary plan. If the He family wants to survive forever, they must spread out. ”

He Jin could quite understand He Hanwen's words at this time, so he thought about it frequently, and he did not have many heirs, and it was certain that he would spread his leaves.

He Hanwen saw that his father He Jin was quite kind, so he continued: "Father, Hanwen reads "Spring and Autumn" and knows the world's affairs. My Han Dynasty has gone through both the east and the west, and in Hanwen's view, Luoyang is really a place of right and wrong. Hebei is rich in resources and materials, the country of Bashu Tianfu, and the land of Jingxiang is rich in literati. The father can start to buy a separate family, and he can choose Ye, Chengdu, Shouchun, and Xu County to buy a business and accumulate strength. If there is a change in the world, we can rely on each other. ”

He Jin was very surprised when he heard He Hanwen's words. He didn't expect that in just a few years, He Hanwen would be able to have such a big picture. At this time, he was even more annoyed, annoyed why He Hanwen was not his son-in-law. But, in the current situation, it is useless to talk about those things on the side.

"Father, Hanwen really wants to go to Beihai to study, and I heard that Lu Zhi, Mr. Lu Zigan, is a well-known scholar who has written "Hanji". Hanwen only needs his father to repair a book for introduction, and then needs a little entanglement and carriage and horses to deal with affairs, and Hanwen will go by himself. He Hanwen said.

He Jin agreed one by one, repaired a book on the spot, sealed it with fire paint, handed it to He Hanwen, and ordered the little servant to prepare the coiling and carriage, then got up to hide his face and left, leaving little time for the grandparents and grandchildren to talk, and prepared to enter the palace to face the saint.

It's almost dawn.

"Grandma, Hanwen has gone. He Hanwen took the comb from Mrs. Wang's hand, and he was going to comb his grandmother's hair one last time.

"Good boy, be careful all the way. Mrs. He faced the bronze mirror seat and let He Hanwen comb her hair.

After the incident, Hanwen left, and the old lady was sad for the mirror.

"Old lady, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and Hanwen is a clever child. Mrs. Wang stood behind Mrs. He and said.

"The children of the He family are naturally clever. Mrs. He said.

※※※

He Hanwen didn't have anything to pack, just a change of clothes, and most of the carriage was his books.

He Jin went into the palace to face the saint, and the old lady He did not appear. Only Liu's fake benevolence and false righteousness came out to operate.

"Mother, Hanwen is going too. He Hanwen still bowed.

"If you go, don't you bring some slaves and maids with you?" replied nonchalantly.

That's exactly what I mean. He Hanwen replied that Li Shen was already waiting for him in the carriage.

"Are there any people who are willing to go with me?" He Hanwen asked, looking at the little slaves and maids at home.

No one answered.

"Young master, slave maid is with you!" Xiao Zhu squeezed over from behind, she carried a small burden.

"Are the rest of the people waiting?" He Hanwen looked in Qiao'er's direction, but Qiao'er cowered and turned back, she lowered her head and didn't say a word.

"Let's go, Xiaozhu. He Hanwen stood outside the gate of He Mansion, returned to the place after three bows, turned around and left, and boarded the carriage.
