Zhao Yong is nearly seventy years old, but because of the diligent practice of the Taoist qi cultivation technique taught by Zhao Yu, his spirit is still very strong. Especially happy to hear that the young son returned home, his complexion became more and more stable, and he walked out of the study to look for Zhao Yu, and pointed at Zhao Yulang from a distance and smiled: "My son finally remembers that there is still an old father at home, and I thought that I would never have the opportunity to see you again in this life." ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, his eyes were sore, and tears welled up immediately, and he knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "My son has not returned home for a long time, and he is so tired that his father is worried, and he is extremely unfilial!"

"Just come back, what are you doing with those useless words! I, old fellow, can eat and sleep, why should I bind my children and grandchildren in front of me. Zhao Yong stepped forward quickly, pulled Zhao Yu up, looked up and down, and said with great relief in his eyes: "The last time I left home, I was still a half-grown doll." When I came back this time, I was already taller than my father. ”

Zhao Yu's heart was surging, and he was about to say countless things to his father, when Zhao Qi's harsh voice suddenly came from behind: "Father, you came at the right time! Come and see what kind of stubborn temperament San Lang has learned outside all these years! I am his brother, but if I don't agree, I kicked over the table and didn't say anything, and drove all my guests out of the house!"

Zhao Qi pointed at Zhao Yu, his face turned pale with anger, and he looked at the Five Elements Banner guard guarding the door and said coldly: "I don't know where to recruit such a group of fierce and vicious strongmen, pestle in front of the door, making people feel uncomfortable!"

Hearing the eldest son's words, Zhao Yong's smile cooled slightly, and said, "I don't care if you are a guest at a big banquet for days." When San Lang returns home today, he can't stop the banquet for a day? What kind of character San Lang is, I know better than you. You only blame others, but you can reflect on your own mistakes as a brother?"

Zhao Qi heard that Zhao Yong was in front of his family, and he directly defended Zhao Yu, and his anger was even hotter, and he sneered at the moment: "In my father's eyes, there is only one San Lang, but this unfilial person has not heard from him for many years, and he will disturb the family at the beginning of his return! The ambition in the heart must not be exercised. Take care of the whole family inside and outside the industry. It turned out that in the eyes of my father, I had not exhausted all my efforts for this family! Oh, I feasted guests, was it for myself? I have been looking forward to many years, nothing more than to fight for a few small names for this family. Don't be lonely because both father and son are hidden!"

Hear this. The anger in Zhao Yongjiu's chest also erupted. After a pause, he shouted, "Come into the room with me!"

As he spoke, he pointed to Zhao Lin and Zhao Yu and said, "You guys are here too." ”

Zhao Yu waved his hand and motioned for Li Muwen to go home first. I went to visit him later, and then I followed my father and brother into the study.

Back in the study, after the servant closed the door and exited, Zhao Yongcai pointed to the eldest son and said, "There are only four of us father and son today, how much grievance you have, you might as well tell it all." If you're really biased in your father's actions, it doesn't hurt to apologize to you!"

Seeing that his father was really angry, Zhao Qi stood up tremblingly and said that he didn't dare. However, after seeing Zhao Yu, he couldn't help but feel angry on his face, and said: "The father is getting old, and it is his duty to serve his son. Because loyalty and filial piety are difficult to fulfill, the son submitted his resignation to the court that year, and retired in the prime of life without complaint. Today, I am indignant, just because San Lang is too rude, in front of a full house, openly provoked the eldest brother, so that my family is gone. In the Shilin of the Land of Three Wu on a different day, I don't know what kind of wind evaluation will be!"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he stood up and said to Zhao Qi: "Big brother's accusation, I can't argue, today I behave nothing, I apologize to you first." But since the words are spread out, I also have a few words to ask my eldest brother. ”

Zhao Qi glared back at him and said coldly, "I'll hear what you have to say!"

Zhao Yu said: "The eldest brother talks about celibacy and running the family inside and outside the industry, I don't know what achievements I have now? I only see the family business withering, the house is in disrepair, the inner and outer courtyards, the only thing that can be seen is your Dongshan Garden!"

Zhao Qi's old face turned red, and he said in shame: "This family is up and down, nearly 100 people, and the daily expenses are not a small amount. I have worked hard all these years to barely maintain it, and even if there is no improvement, it is better than you disappearing without a trace! If you were not serving my father at home, why would I retire in the prime of life and sit back and watch the family business wither! If you don't learn and have no skills, how can you know the deep meaning of my construction of this Dongshan Garden! To tell you the truth, several celebrities in Wuzhong have already intended to recommend me to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Xingtai, and it is only because I am worried about the old man that I reluctantly resigned this kindness!"

Speaking of which, it is always inseparable from the entanglement of official positions, and Zhao Yu sneered politely at the moment: "The second brother is a real jinshi and first, and You Ken'an sits at home to study and govern books." Big brother, you are just an eight-rank minor official who has been shadowed by your father, what glorious future do you can't bear to give up? Now that Jiangnan is in turmoil, even if the Yuan court recruits you, what ideas do you have to put down the chaos and govern the people?"

Zhao Qi was speechless, his face was extremely red, and he turned to Zhao Yong: "Father, take a look." This is his attitude towards his eldest brother, isn't such a rebellious person still ruining the family style?"

Zhao Yong's eyelids drooped, and he said in a deep voice: "It was my idea to let you resign and return to your hometown back then. The chaos in the world has been revealed, and if you don't go, it is inevitable that you will not be able to preserve. Even if Saburo is sitting at home, I will do this. Over the years, you have tossed up and down to invite you to buy fame, and I have turned a blind eye. It's just a little bit of a literary name to masturbate, and if you want to go further, I don't allow it. As for Saburo, you apologize to your eldest brother. Even if he is wrong, you should not be held accountable!"

Zhao Yu listened to his father's words and was about to apologize, but Zhao Qi jumped up in anger and shouted: "Father, I really don't understand, how can there be a lot of scabies in the world......, how can the world be in chaos?"

He was still waiting to be eloquent, but there was a knock at the door, and he turned his head and asked, "What is the matter?"

"Uncle, that scholar Zhou is still waiting outside the door, asking when the uncle will be able to pay the money that should be given. The servant's careful voice sounded outside the door.

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows, and said impatiently: "Go directly to the account to withdraw!

"But there are only thirty-seven taels of silver left in the account...... "The servant's voice grew quieter.

"What?" Zhao Qi's face changed suddenly, and he thought for a moment before he said: "And you have replaced the silver money with the things on the side, you go and tell him, I will find a time for him to do it in a few days." ”

Zhao Yu opened the door and said to the guard: "Give him the usual money and throw it out of the house!"

The guard took the command and departed.

When Zhao Qi heard Zhao Yu's words, he became more and more annoyed, and shouted: "What are you going to do? Do you know that Zhou Shusheng has great talents! In the future, he will be of great use when he arrives under Yang Huqi, and I will help him when he is down, and form a good fate, and there will be a thousand times the reward in the future!"

"Have your sweet dreams!" Zhao Yu saw that the eldest brother was stubborn, and he was no longer polite at the moment, so he simply said honestly: "Big brother, I am afraid that you will not be able to be a martyr of Mengyuan Zhongchen in this life." Over the years, I have been messing around, and what I have done is anti-meta deeds. Even if you can become an official, you will be traced in the future, and you will not be able to escape the sitting!"

Hearing this, Zhao Qi hung in his throat in one breath, his eyes widened, he stepped back a few steps and fell on the chair, and only after a long time did he blindfold and wail: "The family is unfortunate!

Zhao Yu looked at the miserable appearance of the eldest brother as if he had been struck by lightning, waved his hand to signal his father and second brother to be calm, and then said: "The eldest brother has exhausted his family wealth to invite him to buy fame, and even if he is expropriated, he is a staff judge." My rebellious business is thriving, the Yuan court came to recruit surrender, a few years ago the price was still the marshal of the soldiers and horses, this year has risen to the position of the second grade of the army manager. In another year, maybe there will be a new lieutenant. ”

Hearing this, not only Zhao Qi, but even Zhao Yong and Zhao Lin suddenly changed color. The Yuan court has always been wary of the Han people, and it is easy not to allow military generals to hold high positions, such as the head of the army, who holds the official position of money, food, soldiers and horses, let alone a Han person!

"Look, look! He is already insolently crazy! I don't know that these words will tire our family to ruin and destroy our family!" Zhao Qi's arm trembled, and his face turned pale.

Zhao Yong stood up and said with a solemn expression: "Can this be taken seriously?"

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "When my son left home, he vowed to expel the Tartars and restore my Han Dynasty! Now that Chuzhou and southern Anhui have been recovered, the army under his command is still besieging Jiqing, and he rushed back to Wuxing because he was worried about his father's safety. ”

"Could it be that my son is Zhao Wuxian, the chief manager of Zhenhuai?" Zhao Yong asked in a trembling voice with a surprised face.

Zhao Yu nodded and admitted, seeing that his father's emotions were a little agitated, he hurriedly rushed up and put his palm on his father's back, sending a mellow internal force.

The three people in the room were all surprised, but Zhao Lin, who had never heard of the world, seemed calmer, and nodded after being surprised: "No wonder I see that those guards outside the door have a military posture, it turns out that they are the elite soldiers of Chuzhou who are famous in the south of the Yangtze River!"

As for Zhao Qi, it will be much more difficult to struggle out of this shock. His face changed for a long time before he suddenly shouted: "San Lang, what kind of body have you become like this!"

Before Zhao Yu could speak, he said loudly: "The most important thing for a family of brothers who are related by blood is to work together to share blessings and woes! If you leave your family and work hard alone, how can you compare to our brothers who go into battle together! I understand your painstaking loneliness, but you have hidden all your family, how can I, the eldest brother, sit at home and watch my younger brother be born and die outside the repeated battles!"

Zhao Yu heard the eldest brother's words change sharply, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and said: "The eldest brother is serious, I have lived in the army for a long time, and I can't support my father every day, thanks to you and the second brother, who take care of my father's health." I have nothing but gratitude in my heart, how can I bear to bear the burden on you again. ”

Zhao Qi straightened his chest, waved his hand and said, "There is no need to say much about the past. Today, since I know that you have achieved great things in Chuzhou, I can't sit back and enjoy your success. In this way, the second brother can take care of his father at home, and I must go to Chuzhou with you to make up for your shortcomings. One person counts the short, two counts the long, we brothers work together to achieve great things!"

"Come to Japan, this matter will be discussed later. Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "It's getting late now, it's time to eat." (To be continued......)
