Sword View Human Room

Chapter 46 Old Dog
After three rounds of drinking and three shifts at night, an "ordinary" banquet has long since ended, and the heads of the Ma family and the Liang family each have a note in front of them:
drunk, go home

The content was exactly the same. In the Ma Mansion's study, an elderly man sat cross-legged. He didn't look at the man kneeling across from him, but lowered his head and asked while still looking at the note.

"What happened during the day, you know?"

Even though the old man on the opposite side didn't look at him, the man who was questioned didn't dare to look directly at him, and his words trembled a little.

"Yes, it is"

"Want to see the Deng family's jokes? Do you think it's within your expectations?"

He already knew what happened during the day when Deng Ao met Han Shaotian and the four, and he also knew the identities of Han Shaotian and the four. Just like what the old man said, he really wanted to see the Deng family as a joke. than he expected.

The man didn't speak, but his head was lowered. He looked like a child who had made a mistake in front of the old man opposite.

"What did I tell you a few days ago?"

The old man's tone was a little slow, and it was not difficult to hear that he lacked strength in his words. After all, the old man was really old.

The old man's gaze also slowly moved away from the note on the copybook, as if he could feel that the old man's eyes were looking at him at this moment, the man couldn't lift his head even more, and even his voice became weaker and weaker.

"If you see the four people in the picture, then"

"Just what?"

Looking up at the old man, the man quickly lowered his head and said.

"Just inform the ancestors of you"

"So, how do you do it?"

"I, I didn't expect them to go directly to the prefect's mansion, so I"

The man wanted to explain something, but was interrupted sharply by the old man.

"Since you didn't expect them to go directly to the prefect's mansion, why didn't you inform me immediately when you got the news today! Cough! Cough! Cough!"

It can be seen that the old man was very angry, and even choked on himself at the end of his words.

Hearing the old man's cough, the man quickly got up and went to his side to pat his back. In order not to let the other party continue to be angry, the man quickly apologized.

"Old Ancestor, don't be angry. It's your grandson's fault. It's because your grandson didn't listen to you. If you're angry, you can just scold your grandson and beat him, you."

"OK, OK"

The old man interrupted the man's speech with his words. For the man, it can also be said that the old man both loves and hates his grandson.

The man's name is Ma Yide. His name was given by the old man in front of him at the beginning. I hope he can be a person of high moral character when he grows up. The man is indeed disappointing to him. He has a good name since he was a child, and he is a well-known dutiful son in Luoyang City. However, people are not as good as heaven. The man's parents, the son and daughter-in-law of the old man, died in the process of crossing the Zhuo River to Qingzhou.

It is said that when God opens a door for you, he will close a window. This sentence is well reflected in Ma Yide. He has a noble character and can only be evaluated as mediocre in terms of talent and learning.

After that, the old man lost his smile. If his son was still there, he could allow a mediocre grandson, but now, no.

Under the sternness and persecution of the old man, Ma Yide gradually mastered some means in business and personnel affairs, but compared with his peers in the other two families or even some small families, he was incomparable.

Gradually, the old man discovered that his grandson had changed. His status as the head of the family for many years had given him a lot of burdens. He gradually changed to the way the old man expected, but he was getting farther and farther away from the old man.

Until now, the old man looked at Ma Yide, who was no longer there years ago, and he was a little speechless. It was useless to blame the matter, the old man waved his hands and said.

"Leave me alone later"

"Then the grandson will not disturb the ancestor's rest."

Squeak~bang, hearing the sound of the door closing, the old man looked at the door with his eyes downcast, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

"Grandson, don't blame grandpa, who let us all be born in such a family, our fate is no longer up to us to decide by ourselves"

A gust of wind blows, the desk, candles flicker, the hair on the temples flutters freely, the old man turns his head to look, the leaves outside the window are rustling, the moonlight is scattered on the floor through the gap, the old man is a little desolate, just like an old man Like a dog, an old dog that has been alive since the Spring and Autumn Period.

As for the Liang family, the lives of several generations of heads of the Liang family have not been very good. In the 20 years since the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, the Liang family has changed heads three times.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Angry Liang Anshou pointed at the note on the table and cursed, completely ignoring the two shivering girls on the bed and the wine utensils worth hundreds of taels of silver.

"Well, you old dog Deng! Earlier, you said that the three families were unanimous to the outside world, but in the end, you have reached the top of the mountain. Pooh!"

Still wanting to throw something to relieve his hatred, he touched the table but found that there was nothing there, except for the note, of course.

Looking around, Liang Anshou looked in the room for anything else to vent, huh? !As if recalling something, Liang Anshou turned his head and looked behind him. Under the candlelight, his face looked like a demon in hell in the eyes of the two girls, and his words were like a declaration of death.

"Why did I forget that there are you two little ladies?"

Turning around, Liang Anshou walked towards the two girls step by step, waved his right hand back casually, the candle was extinguished, only the man in the room was laughing wildly, and the girl was crying, and the two night guards outside the courtyard looked at each other and shook their heads I feel sorry for the two girls, I'm afraid they won't see the sun tomorrow.

In the study of Mrs. Deng, the most proud Deng family today, Deng Yuancheng and Deng Ao sat on the side of the desk respectively.

Logically speaking, none of the grandfather and grandson who should be the most happy today is smiling at this time.

Deng Ao didn't dare, he felt that he did a good job today, was decisive and had a successful ending, he didn't understand why his father and grandpa still seemed unhappy, but he didn't dare to ask.

In the end, it was Mrs. Deng who spoke first.

"Today, Ao'er, you did a great job. I know you have been interested in the shipping industry since you were a child."

"Grandpa me"

Deng Ao, who was about to explain something, was interrupted by Mrs. Deng raising his hand. Deng Ao, who thought he was going to be blamed again, was startled by the other party's next sentence, his eyes widened.

"In the past, it was a last resort not to allow you to contact. From now on, grandpa will not stop you from doing what you want to do."

Deng Ao still asked in disbelief.

"Really, really? Grandpa, what you said is true?"

Old Mrs. Deng didn't speak, but Deng Yuancheng feigned anger.

"Stinky boy! What? You're not happy anymore?!"

"No! Absolutely not! Hehe"

Deng Ao, who was already smiling at this moment, didn't notice that there seemed to be some reluctance in the eyes of his grandfather and father.
