Chapter 37: Gloomy
"I really didn't expect that my uncle was like this when he was a child. Han Ya listened with relish, especially when he said that he liked to pretend to be a girl and fight crickets when he was a child, Han Ya also laughed.
"It's shame and courage, and thanks to this, otherwise I might have been so naΓ―ve forever. Han Qianye himself smiled.
"I've never heard this from my father-in-law, who always praised you for being shrewd and capable since you were a child, and that you were a very talented person. β
"Hey, big brother is like this, no matter when he saves me enough face, and he has always been extra protective of me. β
"Then later, did my uncle start to work hard to catch up? Han Ya couldn't wait to continue listening.
"Almost, listen to me continue. β

Han Qianye actually has a body of muscles and bones that are not lost to Han Fei, and he is also a good material for natural martial arts. It's just that because Han Meng neglected his discipline, plus
Since that day, Han Qianye is like a different person, he takes the initiative to go to the school field to practice martial arts every day, in addition to practicing martial arts, he locks himself in his room in his spare time to study the Four Books and Five Classics. Han Fei has an upright temperament, and he is not good at making sentences by nature, so he has worked hard in this regard. There were no maids or crickets to get close to him, and after his self-confidence was seriously damaged, he desperately wanted to prove that he was no worse than his eldest brother.
Han Qianye's efforts were not in vain, in just five years, his martial arts have kept up with Han Fei, and his attainments in poetry and books are far better than his brother's, and he is even well-known among some literati and writers in Tai'an.
And all his hard work was seen by Han Meng, and Han Meng also began to pay attention to this second son who was suddenly angry and trying to be strong. When there is a meeting at home, he often asks Chiba to participate with him, Han Qianye constantly gives advice to the family, works hard, and has also made a lot of contributions, and the elders in the family have also begun to change their impression of his children.
When Han Qianye was sixteen years old, he and Han Fei fell in love with a girl at the same time, this girl was called Zhou Lan, the daughter of a dart master in the family, she was very beautiful, she was three years younger than Han Fei, and Han Qianye was exactly the same age. The two brothers have gone out with Zhou Lan's father many times, so they have a lot of private contact, and over time, they have a deep affection for the girl, especially Han Qianye, his obsession is far better than Han Fei. In addition to his own love for this woman, his brother has gotten everything he doesn't have since he was a child, so this time he is determined to chase Zhou Lan and win him openly.
And in this year, my father finally talked to him about family inheritance for the first time.
On this day, Han Meng deliberately found an excuse to send Han Fei and his cronies out of the family, and this conversation was only known to the father and son, and they never mentioned it to Han Fei.
Han Qianye has grown very tall, today he deliberately changed into a gray suit, a long hair that was left to the shoulders was tied up in a high bun at the back of his head, and his originally slightly chubby cheeks have been sharpened and angular, and the whole person looks both energetic and handsome.
"The child has seen his father, but he doesn't know what the father has called the child to do. After Han Qianye came to the lobby, he first saluted his father with a fist.
"Sit down and have tea. A maid came out from behind the window and poured Han Qianye a cup of tea, "I know you like to drink Biluochun, but today I will try my monkey kui." β
"Thank you, Dad. β
"I have seen your efforts in the past few years, you have done a good job, and I am very pleased to see your growth today. β
"Yes, Dad doesn't dislike it. β
"You are also sixteen years old this year, and I was seventeen years old when I was elected as the head of the house, and I called you here today to discuss this matter with you. β
"Daddy wants to choose a successor? β
"yes, I think it's time to think about it. It's just you and me here today, and I hope we can have a good talk and can you tell me what you think. Han Meng's seemingly casual question, in fact, was undoubtedly taking advantage of his youngest son's heart. How to answer and how to answer will undoubtedly have a great impact on this conversation.
"Such a big thing, the child has not thought about it, and he does not dare to infer it, I don't know what his father wants. However, Han Qianye was not stupid, he thought of a way to push this issue back. He has naturally coveted the position of head for a long time, otherwise he would not compete with himself every day like he is now.
"I still want to hear your opinion first, just say what you think in your heart, don't be afraid of making mistakes, today's conversation is limited to you and me. β
The child still didn't dare to speak. β
"It's okay, if you haven't thought about it before, just think about it now, I just need to listen to what you have to say. β
Han Qianye, who knew that he would definitely not be able to hide, lowered his head and was silent for a long time, before he raised his head and said reluctantly, "The eldest son has always come first, and the eldest brother is better than me in terms of contribution to the family and seniority...... , should also be renamed. Han Meng just wanted to nod, but Han Qianye then added, "But if my father is willing to give me a chance, Qianye will definitely not disappoint his father's expectations, although I can't compare with my eldest brother in all aspects, but I will also rack my brains and do my best for the revitalization of the dart game." β
"I see what you mean, I see. β
Han Meng, who was originally still pleasant-looking, suddenly became sad, he may have heard his son's sincere words, but he was obviously not very satisfied with this answer.
"Both of you are very good, to be honest, to make a trade-off from among you, it is really too difficult for me, with the current martial arts and talents of the two of you, whoever finally becomes the master of the door will definitely be able to serve the public, I believe that we will be able to carry forward our Han family dart game, which I am convinced of." β
"That daddy means ....... β
"Chiba, you're different from Fei'er. Fei'er has a straight temperament, and she is destined to be a material for dancing knives and guns, and this is the only way to go. He is not like you, in addition to martial arts, he can also be good at poetry and songs, Wen Taowu strategy, you still have a lot of choices, you don't have to be trapped in this small Tai'an for the rest of your life, you can fly to a higher place. β
When he heard that he was flying to a higher place, Han Qianye couldn't help but sneer in his heart, back then he was expecting Han Fei to go higher, so he took a flying word in his name.
"Our family has been a dart for generations, thanks to the hard work of your grandfather and grandfather to buy today's family business, although it looks like a big business, there are many people who take the initiative to run to slap us, but after all, the dart gang will be the next three lines of talent, looking at the scenery, but over the years there have been no less people poking our backbones in the back, I don't want people to say this about you in your life. β
"So for the sake of my future, Daddy has already planned to let the eldest brother be the master of this door, right? β
"I hope you don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to exclude you. β
Han Meng's tone when he said this was extremely gentle, for fear that the slightest mistake would hurt this child's heart, and this may be the best attitude he had towards Han Qianye in so many years.
"Of course the child won't misunderstand," Han Qianye smiled, "Daddy doesn't want to call me a dart master, and he called me here today just to persuade me to give up." β
Having said that, there is actually no need to say any more, Han Qianye smiled bitterly, he basically knew his father's intentions, and the heart that was still eager to try was also a lot colder all of a sudden.
"Child, you can't say that, we are father and son, in my heart your status is as important as Fei'er, I will never deliberately favor any of you. β
"Then how are you going to settle me and delegate me to the family's business? β
"Of course not, of course Dad wouldn't do that. β
After all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and Han Meng is already forty years old this year, and the word "decentralization" really pierced his heart deeply.
"Our family has struggled for generations, and I hope that this generation will be able to produce a talent in the career. You are proficient in poetry and songs, and you also have friendships with many writers in Tai'an, if you can get a fame, it will also be a good story, and it will still add glory to our Han family. Han Meng said and walked to his son's side personally, then took out an envelope from his breast pocket and handed it to Chiba.
"Our family also has some business dealings with some officials in the capital, I have specially written you a letter of recommendation, and all aspects have been taken care of, and when you take it to the capital, someone will naturally take care of everything for you. β
"It turns out that the father has already considered this part for the child, and the father's great kindness...... The child will always remember. Han Qianye's voice was already choked, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed if he continued to talk about it, so without waiting for his father to reply, he bowed deeply to him, and then walked out of the house.
Han Meng's heart would never feel better than him, and he wanted to say something more, even if he stopped him. But looking at the back of the departing body, he couldn't say anything.

"Ah!!!!!h
Unconsciously, it had rained heavily in the sky, only Han Qianye had not returned to the room alone, he hit the solid wall hard, but he did not use internal force, he wanted to rely on this pain engraved on his joints to calm him down, he was tired, he fell on the wall again and cried, the rain and tears mixed together, washing his face over and over again.
"Second brother, why are you here. β
Just when Han Qianye was at the most painful juncture, there was a person who walked towards him with an umbrella, it was the Zhou Lan who he and Han Fei both liked very much.
