Chapter 36: Han Qianye
It wasn't until he saw this young man that Han Meng's originally frowning brows relaxed. The person who came from a long distance waved his hand at the dozens of members of the family who were waiting for him.
"The child greets his father, and wishes his father good fortune as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan. β
After Han Fei dismounted, he knelt down on one knee and made a big salute to his father.
"Hurry up. Han Meng personally walked over and helped the child up, "I haven't seen you for a month, why have you lost so much weight." β
Looking at Han Fei's chin that had lost a lot of weight, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
"The eldest young master is not used to eating rice food in Henan, and after he went, he had a stomach trouble several times. β
"Brother Liang. Han Fei waved his hand at the dart master who was speaking, signaling him not to continue.
"Young master, don't you know, the master heard that you met a mountain bandit on the road, and he was so anxious that he almost took someone out by himself. The butler also came out and interjected.
"I met a few bandits and injured some brothers, but I didn't care, I took a detour to my employer's house before I came back, and I had already handed over the goods, and they sent someone to pay the balance in two days. β
"Okay, okay," Han Meng patted his eldest son's shoulder a few times, looking quite excited, "It's best if you can come back safely, I specially asked Aunt Wu to prepare your favorite noodles for you, don't pestle here, come in quickly." β
Han Fei walked behind his father, he grabbed his younger brother, who had been watching him, and then the two walked into the mansion side by side.
Today is Han Meng's thirty-fifth birthday, and the entire Han Mansion is immersed in a sea of bright red. Dozens of tables were already filled with relatives and friends at home, and everyone congratulated him when they saw Han Fei, as if he had now become the owner of this No. 1 dart game in Tai'an.
"I salute my father's cup, and I wish my father good fortune such as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan!"
"Wait. β
Han Fei just wanted to dry the wine in the cup, but was stopped by an uncle from the clan.
"What's wrong with the fourth uncle. β
"Hehe, you said this when you entered the door and kowtowed to your father just now, and you can't change it now?"
"Fourth brother, don't make fun of this child, this child has a straight temperament, how can he be like you, there are so many twists and turns, besides, today is my birthday, what we drink is a love, it doesn't matter what you say. "It's still my father who loves his son, and when he saw that Han Fei was being troubled, Han Meng then ran out to relieve him.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I haven't started drinking to protect the calf, then I'm not reluctant, just do it at will!"
"Since the four uncles have spoken...... Han Fei pondered silently for a while, and then said aloud, "Then I wish my father a long life and a hundred years old before filling in your son!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the table laughed, "Sister-in-law, listening to Fei'er's words, are you happy again!"
"Don't talk nonsense, you can't stop your mouth when you drink!" The beautiful woman sitting next to Han Fei suddenly turned red when she was talking about it, and it was Han Fei's third uncle who was joking with him.
"It doesn't matter if you really have another one, it's not too much!"
"That's it, if we can have another son like Fei'er, it will also win glory for our Han family!"
The crowd was indulged in laughter, and all the topics were around the eldest son, but they still forgot about one person.
At the table not far from them, Han Meng's second son, Qianye, was sitting with a group of less important guests, and from time to time he would glance at the place where Han Fei was sitting, he was not very good at drinking, and he couldn't catch the words of these people at all, so Han Meng arranged him at another table.
On weekdays, he and his father couldn't speak a few words a day, but it was rare that his eldest brother had come back from outside the dart, and he really wanted to sit with them.
"Why is it that you are weaving grass here alone, and I haven't seen you go over to toast your father. β
"I don't go, my dad won't be happy when I go, and my dad doesn't like me. Chiba, who was really bored, left the banquet alone, ran to the back garden and made up a dog's tail grass, and he was actually very happy to see his eldest brother coming, but he still had to pretend to be very cold. He was only eleven years old at this time, and he still looked very naΓ―ve when he spoke, which directly formed an inverse proportion with this brother who had been training outside all the year round. "What are you doing here, aren't the family waiting for you to come back and drink with them?"
"What am I doing here, can't I come over to see my brother, it's been so long, you have this attitude towards your eldest brother." β
Han Fei sat down directly next to him.
"Does it matter what attitude I have, anyway, you have a father who hurts and a mother to protect you. β
"What are you talking about, my father and mother also love you very much, they mentioned you just now. β
"Cut, I don't believe you, they are laughing from ear to ear, how can they still think of me. β
"You kid," Han Fei gently punched his younger brother in the chest, he had now laid a good foundation for martial arts, so he didn't dare to push too hard, "It's just that my mother hasn't looked at you all this time, worried that you will run around, so she asked me to come to you." β
"You're telling me true?
"I really didn't lie to you, if I did, I would have died halfway when I dart in the future. β
Han Fei may never have dreamed that this inadvertent poisonous curse would really become a reality one day more than thirty years later.
"Then let me ask you first, do I want you to bring me what I want. β
"Bring it, you now honestly go back with me to toast a glass of wine to your father and mother, and I'll give it to you when the banquet is over." β
"Okay, brother, you're the best, I'll listen to you for everything. β
The second son, who was still sad, was immediately coaxed to be happy, and he followed the eldest brother back to the banquet.

"Bite, bite, bite!
After the banquet was over, Han Qianye and the two servants fought crickets in the garden, and they were about to bite the other two crickets to death.
A month ago, when Han Fei was just about to set off, Han Qianye begged him for a long time before he promised to go to Ningjin to buy him such a cricket when he came back.
Han Meng has always been very strict with the discipline of children, he has never allowed his son to touch those things that are not doing his job, even Chiba is the same, if he knows that Han Fei secretly brought back crickets for his younger brother, these two brothers will inevitably be beaten by this father. Therefore, he can only take it out quietly in the dead of night to play for a while.
"Second young master, your baby is so powerful, we admit defeat, just let us go. β
"That's it, we're still pointing to it to win a little money, so I beg you to raise your hand. β
Seeing that their crickets were about to be killed by Han Qianye's, the two servants hurriedly begged his subordinates to show mercy, when the second young master said that he wanted to fight crickets with them, they were secretly happy in their hearts, and they originally thought that maybe they could make a fortune together, these two crickets are usually considered important tools for them to make money, if they are really bitten to death like this, they will lose a lot of money.
"Okay, I'll spare your lives. β
Han Qianye was in a good mood tonight, when Han Fei led him to toast his father, all his relatives and friends also praised him greatly, he carefully put the cricket back into the box and deliberately threw a string of scattered silver in front of the two of them, and he wanted to go back to the room to sleep without caring about their thousand thanks.
Halfway through, he accidentally tripped and fell, and the cricket also fell out of the box, for fear that it would run away, Han Qianye chased it all the way, and finally caught it in front of a house.
Before he had time to be happy, he seemed to suddenly hear someone in the house calling his name, and after a closer look, it turned out that he had chased all the way to the inner courtyard, and he was no stranger to this house, which was his father Han Meng's house.
On a whim, he wanted to hear what the people inside had to say, so he slowly put his ears close to the window, but what the people inside said next directly made his heart cold.
"I also think that in the future, I can Fei'er to inherit the position of the master of this sect, this kid is so promising at a young age, and he is really much stronger than your second child. β
Han Qianye was no stranger to the person who said this, as soon as he heard the voice, he knew that this must be the second uncle who always praised himself for being smart and clever on weekdays.
"I still think I can look at it for a while, it's too early to settle now, and besides, Chiba is just a little playful, and when he grows up, he should know how to do it. β
The one who said this must be his own father.
"I don't think so, I saw him fighting with a group of servants when I came here just now, what can such a kid do in the future. β
"That's it," a few more people began to heckle along, "you remember he's late this afternoon, and I've heard from the guy who went to him that he's been hanging out with a bunch of maids all day, and I don't approve of him being the head of the house." β
A few more people also expressed their opinions, undoubtedly hoping that Han Meng would be able to nominate Han Fei to become the master of the door in the future, and in their mouths, this second son seemed to be a dou who couldn't be helped. The father, who had always wanted to refute, had nothing to say in this situation.
Chiba, who was standing outside, threw the cricket on the ground in a fit of rage, and stomped on it a few times. Then he turned and walked away.
