I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 381 I don’t know what to say

"Come closer." Chen Lu's voice was slightly trembling.

Until Chen Luo got closer than one step away, his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, and for a moment there was no other movement.

The disciples of the Yangxia Chen family in the rear couldn't help but feel a little confused.

What's wrong with Mr. Taikang, the old man?

Within the Chen family, the Taikang Chen family has been separated in name, but in fact no other genealogy has been compiled.

Every year during the Qingming Festival, they also come back to Yangxia to visit tombs and pay homage.

What's more, twenty-five years ago, Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia passed away, and the two families were peacefully separated. There was no earth-shaking quarrel between the brothers like some of the descendants of Marquis Che. In addition, the younger brothers basically lived together when they were children and grew up. Also moved around a lot.

Therefore, the Yangxia Chen family and the Taikang Chen family can actually be regarded as one family. At least in the eyes of outsiders, they both belong to the Yangxia Chen family.

In the eyes of the descendants of the Chen family in Yangxia, Chen Lu, the Marquis of Taikang, was also an elder worthy of respect, and there was no difference between him and Chen Zhi.

"Uncle, who are you?" Chen Qian heard what the old man seemed to be muttering, so he stepped forward and asked softly.

Chen Lu spoke softly to himself. Even if he got closer, he could only hear a few words, "Oh... exactly the same... so similar."

These words are unclear and make people confused.

Why sigh?

What is the same?

Who is too similar to whom? Are you talking about who the Boyu in front of you looks like?

"It's okay, I just lost my composure." Chen Qian was still confused when he heard Chen Lu wave his hands and say softly.

Chen Qian, who was just a little confused at first, was suddenly surprised.

Marquis Taikang had accompanied the army to put down the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and he had seen thousands of troops in battle.

What happened just now that the word "gaffe" came out of his mouth?

Regardless of what the junior behind him thought, Chen Lu rubbed his sore eyes, and then said with emotion, "No wonder when Uncle Weng saw you, he would think that you are the descendant of my father's lost brother, and you have the same facial features as mine. My father looked so much like me when he was young.

If you follow me to see my brother later, I'm afraid he will say the same thing. "

Chen Luo didn't answer, just stood there silently.

In fact, my current appearance is only 70% similar to that of back then, not exactly the same.

But human memory has the function of beautifying and completing it, and as time goes by, it will become more and more blurred. The brain will automatically beautify the past and complete the missing parts, just like recalling a certain relationship many years later. It will always feel extremely warm, because the trivial matters and disputes between each other have been forgotten, and what remains in the memory is only the beauty of the two meeting and the helplessness or sadness of separation.

Therefore, when Chen Lu saw him, he had a trance-like feeling of overlapping images, which was normal.

Of course, this doesn't cause any trouble.

His current identity is that of a descendant of the Chen family, and his similar appearance doesn't mean much.

Besides, there are not many people left who have seen him when he was young.

"Are you saying that Boyu looks like my father when he was young?" On the contrary, Chen Qian couldn't help but look at Chen Luo curiously.

Chen Luo resigned from Daiguo and returned to Yangxia when he was already over fifty. At that time, his eldest grandson Chen Qian was still a baby, so naturally he had no chance to see Chen Luo's young appearance.

"Yes." Chen Lu nodded lightly, "Boyu is twenty to six?"

"I will be twenty-seven this year." Chen Luo lowered his head and answered simply.

In the eyes of outsiders, he suddenly came to the Chen Ancestral Hall, met so many relatives he had never met before, and talked with Marquis Taikang, and he was a bit frightened.

This reaction is not surprising.

You must know that many celebrities came to pay homage to the two elders of the Chen family. After meeting them, most of them looked at a loss, and only a few of them remained calm. However, Chen Luo's current performance was not that of nervousness.

There is no reason why I would hesitate so nervously when I saw my son.

He just didn't want to talk.

I don’t know what to say.

"Very good, very good." Chen Lu said to himself, then raised his head, "I heard from Ren Yue that you have the idea of ​​doing something big?"

Chen Qian, who was standing next to Chen Lu, nodded at Chen Luo, indicating that he was indeed the one who told his uncle about this.

After all, the things Chen Luo wants to do in Chang'an will eventually represent Yang Xia's attitude, and the two real people in charge, Chen Zhi and Chen Lu, must be thoroughly informed and approved by them.

"It is true. If we do it well, it will benefit the country and the people." Chen Luo replied, his words still concise.

Chen Qian winked, but received no response.

You boy.

If you want to get family support, you have to talk about what you are going to do next and how it will benefit the family's future.

At least he made his uncle happy, and then he and his father would let the family choose to fully support it.

"Yeah." Chen Lu nodded lightly, then smiled, "What you said is right. My father was the same way back then. I just don't know if you can persist in the future and how far you can go. But I hope you You can keep walking. In this way, after the ancestor worship is over, you come to me again, and my brother and I will have a few words with you."

"Okay." Chen Luo agreed, then returned to the crowd and stood at his original position.

If the person standing here talking to him had been Chen Zhi, he probably wouldn't have agreed so quickly.

After all, he usually puts his family first, so when he thinks about problems, he often takes how to benefit the family as his starting point.

So just saying "benefits the country and the people" is difficult to impress them directly.

On the contrary, Chen Lu, who had close exchanges with the Mohist family, felt how difficult it was for the people. When he heard that what Chen Luo wanted to do would benefit the people, he was willing to support it.

Moreover, there are differences in the ways of communicating with his two sons.

Chen Zhi likes complete plans, while Chen Lu prefers concise reports.

Therefore, Chen Luo prepared three sets of rhetoric before returning to Yangxia this time.

This is a long speech, suitable for speaking when meeting Chen Zhi alone.

A set of concise expressions clearly stated the main points, that is, the conversation he had just had with Chen Lu.

There is also a set that combines the two expressions. When the two sons are present at the same time, his own speech will be longer overall, which meets Chen Zhi's requirements, but the actual point of view is expressed straightforwardly and will not let people know. Chen Lu felt that he talked too much.

Of course, now that he has basically convinced Chen Lu, when the ancestor worship ceremony is over, he can focus on conquering Chen Zhi.

After persuading his great eldest son in the same way, who else from the Yangxia Chen family would oppose him?

At the same time, Chen Qian, who also returned to his original position, looked back, still in a state of confusion.

What just happened? Why did you just say a few words and my uncle directly agreed.

Is this the benefit of looking like your eldest father?
