After Shao Wenqing left, he was anxious and confused. He didn't want to go home. He drunk in the bar until late at night and followed the Shao family driver who came to look for him in the car.
The old mansion of the Shao family was included in the real estate of the second house in the will of the old man. Three generations of management made this old mansion in Fengguishan on the outskirts of City A engrave luxury into every inconspicuous corner. Kicked away to help his housekeeper, Shao Wenqing stumbled into the ancestral house with a calm face and walked straight to the stairs. He didn't expect that there were two people waiting for him sitting in the brightly lit hall.
"Wen Qing." Liao Heying sighed and went to help him, turning around and said, "He has drunk like this, I will ask if you have anything to do tomorrow."
Shao Yubo was full of anger, strode over and waved Liao Heying away. Kicked on Shao Wenqing's chest: "Useless things! Get up!"
Shao Wenqing was still very afraid of his father, and because he had not completely lost consciousness, he was awakened by a kick at this moment, and stood up tremblingly: " ...Dad..."
Shao Yubo kicked again and roared at the same time: "Did you do the thing that Shao Yan was hospitalized?"
"Dad!?" Shao Wenqing stepped back suspiciously and looked at Liao Heying. When he saw her mother turned away from his gaze, he immediately knelt to his father: "Dad! Listen to me..." Shao Yubo didn't understand, and waved the phone he was holding onto Shao Wenqing's face.
After going up, Shao Wenqing snorted, covered his face and lay down on the ground for a while, before trembling to say what Shao Yan threatened him in the hospital today. There is no need to explain why Shao Yan was taught. Shao Wenqing knew that his father always only valued the results.
"You! There is something more than success!" Shao Yubo nodded his son fiercely, and kicked him away, "Go !!!" Shao Wenqing grabbed his wound and got up slowly, Liao Heying cried. He flew over and wanted to hold Shao Wenqing's arm, but his son avoided him without a trace.
"Wen Qing..." She called Shao Wenqing's name with tears.
Shao Wenqing turned at the beginning without looking at her, and left with a limping.
Liao Heying cried for a while and then stopped, and asked her husband hoarsely: "Wen Qing said that Shao Yan has a recording, what should you do?"
Shao Yubo snorted softly, "What should I do, what do you say." After calming down, He quickly began to organize his own thoughts: "What Shao Wenqing just said was that Shao Yan recorded what he said to the brothers. Don't worry about this. I will take care of the judicial relationship. This is not what Shao Wenqing said personally. I have The solution is that the smarter people in City A won't use this thing to help Shao Gange and the others deal with me. What I have to prevent now is the Ding family's brothers turning their heads and biting people."
Liao Heying hated them. It's itchy: "I saw those two little wanderers today, sneaky, they don't seem to be good people! If it weren't for their instigation, how could Wen Qing poke us such a big basket?"
"You still have the face to say that it is all you dote on!" Shao Yubo didn't have a good face to his wife's shirking responsibility. "I tell you, father just died, and now we have all the power to eat, Lao Tzu and me. If it weren't for me, we would all have to look at Dafang's face! You show me Shao Wenqing, dare to ruin my good deeds, fucking go!"
*********
On the day of discharge from the hospital, Shao Yan made no secret of his curiosity about the new world outside the car window. The rare smile on his lips made Shao's mother who was accompanying his son a relief and heartache. Shao Yan, who disliked the bad food of the sick number, hardly touched any food provided in the hospital except fruit and water when he was hospitalized. Although he used to pick his mouth, his bad habit seemed to be more serious after he was injured. He have lost a lot of visibly in a month. Although it looks much more refreshing than the appearance of overweight, as a mother, Shao's mother is the first to worry about the physical condition of her son.
However, Shao Yan calmly seemed to be the one who was struggling from the gate of ghosts. He reads books every day in addition to sleeping, and his body does not seem to be weakened even if he does not eat. He occasionally walks around the lawn of the hospital and comes out to bask in the sun. The patient was chatting, and his personality seemed to be more cheerful than before.
Such Shao Yan is undoubtedly unfamiliar to Shao's mother, but her son's growth has made her feel extremely gratified. Shao Yan was her only child. She had difficulty giving birth when she was pregnant. She was brought to this world by her nine deaths. This is her lifeblood and hope for the future. So much so that over the years, Shao's mother, who knows that doting on children is not good, can't hold onto the theoretical principles at all. But one's life is destined to be impossible, especially Shao Yan was born in a complex family like the Shao family. As a mother, Mother Shao tried her best, but she could only let the child spend the first half of her life comfortably, but what about after her death?
According to Shao Yan's character that he didn't know much about the world before, I'm afraid someone would chew his bones clean, right?
It seems that it is not all a bad thing to plant a big somersault this time. It is not a small improvement to allow children to come out of the greenhouse to see this intriguing world.
The Shao's family is not as luxurious as Shao Yan imagined. Although it is located in the most expensive tourist area in City A, the house is nothing but a small western style building commonly seen on TV. In comparison, Shao Yan still prefers the Chinese architecture of Zhu Yanbiwa, but it seems that people in this era are not popular in such houses.
Probably because she was afraid of her son being tired, Shao's mother did not drag Shao Yan to speak, and after taking him back to the room, she told him to sleep well and not think about anything else, and then quietly closed the door and left.
Shao Yan opened the window sparsely, and the warm afterglow of the evening spilled in, and he looked out to the rippling lake.
He turned his eyes to the furnishings in the house.
This room obviously doesn't match the style of the original owner that Shao Yan has learned these days. Not to mention anything else, the whole wall of this room is full of brand-new books, and you can see that the parents of the Shao family and Shao Yan who look forward to their sons and daughters. How big are my differences in thinking.
Shao Yan pulled out a book from the inside. The beautiful binding and pages made his eyes trance for a while. He was a little happy when he saw the traditional characters on the cover.
—— "Shang Shu"
—— "Three Strategies of Huangshi Gong"
—— "Hundred Notes of Qiu Ji"
...
The books he had read were put aside, nothing happened to the left and right, Shao Yan leaned against the window, holding the books he hadn't read, and read in fascinatingly.
****
Father Shao downstairs caught a glimpse of his wife coming down, and smoothly squeezed out the cigarette in his hand: "Is it all right?"
"Let him familiarize himself with it." Mother Shao sat down beside her husband, unable to hide her worry. What should I do? The doctor said that he don't recognize some words, how can he go to school?"
"Worry about it, anyway, he didn't like to read before, just like that. My brain is broken and I, an old man, must support him."
Father Shao's words were awkward, but his eyes couldn't hide his care. After the couple were quiet for a while, they heard him continue to say, "The most urgent matter is the company's shares."
Shao mother sighed when she mentioned this: "I didn't really see that my second brother is such a person before. What is Zhu Shilin's relationship with them? Have you found out?"
Zhu Shilin was the lawyer who suddenly said that he had a will to read after the death of Old Man Shao.
The will is notarized and it does have legal effects, but Father Shao is not so easy to fool. The signature of the old man on the will is skewed, and it does not seem to be written under normal circumstances. But after being fair, there are group lawyers. As a guarantee, such a will is definitely not an existence that he can overthrow by suspicion. Shao Gange also thought, maybe this will is true? Old man Shao really preferred his younger brother Shao Yubo. Even though his work ability was far less than his own, he still gave him the management of several promising luxury hotels under the group.
But I think about it carefully, the old man is definitely not such an arrogant person.
Elder Shao has been lingering on the sick bed for many years. His condition deteriorated some time ago. He also told the elder son to take good care of the younger son when he was alone with Shao Gange. Even if he prefers the younger son, Mr. Shao still knows that his younger son has limited work ability. Mr. Shao was solemnly handed over to Mr. Shao by his grandfather. In these years, Mr. Shao has always put the interests of the group first. . To transfer such an important responsibility to the younger son who is less capable is not the old man's usual rational style.
The relationship between the Shao brothers is not close, and their daily exchanges are far more polite and estranged than their blood relatives. However, even so, Shao Gange was unwilling to think about his brother at the shameless villain who would attack the old father on the hospital bed.
He was a bit contradictory, he was addicted to cigarettes again, and he was thinking about his son's future. For a while, apart from sighing, he couldn't respond more to his wife.
"Don't worry, just forget it if you can't find it out." Shao Mu paused and asked: "You have to check the restaurants that are allocated to you when you have time. Are you thinking about it? Do we want to sue?"
Father Shao was very tired: "There is no way to prosecute, we have no evidence."
Old man Shao is a man with a strong desire for control. Before his death, all the shares in the group were not divided among the two sons. This has also caused Shao Gange to be very restrained in his activities. Dafang currently only has 5% of the shares allocated in the will. If the shares are small, there is no right to speak. Even if the people in the group know something is wrong, they may not dare. Come out to speak for their family.
Shao's mother wanted to understand the pros and cons, and also knew that this round of comeback might be difficult.
The ease and peace that Shao Yan pretended to be in front of Shao Yan was wiped out at this time, and the couple was speechless for a while.
****
Shao Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating over and over again.
In other words, his own life experience is also considered to be a bumpy one. The first memory is that he was fleeing with a group of refugees. His parents may be gone, maybe they are dead, in short, no one knows their existence, Shao Yan survived mostly because of a widow in the refugee group who had a dead child. The widow was always crazy because her husband and children had left one after another with hysteria, and the little Shao Yan became a substitute for people to find relief. Shao Yan also had a hard life. After she had a sip of milk to drink, she ate the same things as the refugees. The mud bark filled his stomach. In the end, many adults were eaten to death, and he just struggled.
The life of a refugee was very hard, and he was always beaten and chased away. When Shao Yan was over five years old, he took his widow and ran around because of hysteria during the curfew, and was beaten to death by the patrol officers and soldiers. He was the first to find the bloody corpse lying in the alley. Shao Yan could not remember his mood at that time. In short, he knelt on the street and asked for a piece of burlap to wrap up the widow and buried it. Become a complete orphan.
Not long afterward, seven or eight children, including him, were sold to Renya by the leader of the refugees. Some of this group of children went to official prostitutes, and some were sold to large households as slave laborers. Shao Yan was cunning since he was a child, and was unwilling to gritted his teeth and wanted to climb up. In the end, he snatched a man who entered the palace. opportunity.
Life in the palace is no better than being a refugee. The status of an uncastrated housekeeper is not even comparable to that of a little eunuch. It's fine if you don't have enough food. You can only sleep for two hours a day, doing the roughest and most tiring work, what? Anyone can step on it. Some guards and old eunuchs like special ones, and they will look for opportunities to take advantage. The palace is strictly forbidden. The small servants who have been taken advantage of it can survive very few. The small servants who are so big in the palace can't even get the record of the palace. It is not a big deal to die one or two every day. .
Shao Yan's several small servants in the same room came and went, and came and went again. The husband said they had to be promoted to help other places. The young children were ignorant and took it seriously. Only Shao Yan knew those people. I'm afraid it has become the first batch of souls to be lost in this deep palace.
Then one day, he was also spotted.
Shao Yan is not a person who sits waiting for death. Knowing that he can't escape, he pretended to be obedient and lowered the other's vigilance. The moment the other party was deceiving him, the sharp shattered piece of porcelain cut through the opponent's neck.
That was the first murder in his life. He knelt beside the corpse and cried bitterly for an afternoon. The moment he wiped away his tears, Shao Yan understood that he was in an extremely cruel world.
The experience of being a refugee allowed him to be careful enough to erase all traces of the murder scene, and then toss the guard into a dead well where the body was secretly thrown in the palace. He never mentioned anything about this to anyone.
The turning point of fate was after that.
Shao Yan opened his eyes, and there was a noisy bird's cry beside his ears, and his eyes fell out of the window to reveal the clear sky, and he was in a daze.
Then he remembered that he had come to another dynasty completely different from before.
He glanced sideways at the wall clock by the door, and he converted it strangely. It would be about two quarters in time. It was still dark, but this was indeed Shao Yan's usual work and rest time.
He meditated all night without sleeping, and he didn't feel tired at this time. The exercises he practiced were given by a lame old eunuch of the food supervisor. Compared with the existence of Flying Heaven and Escape in those scripts, it is more ordinary. It is nothing more than jumping higher and farther, but the effect of nourishing the body is actually First class.
After a month of training in the hospital, Shao Yan's wounds have been visibly healed. If it weren't for the Shao's parents to worry about his son's body, he would have been discharged from the hospital.
Shao Yan got out of bed and stretched out, his bones creaked. Because of the faint sense of breath that finally appeared in his dantian, his spirit was more refreshing than ever.
The probe looked out the window. There were people shouting "cameras" everywhere around the villa. Shao Yan still turned off the way out from the second floor, which seemed a bit shocking to modern people. He opened the door and went downstairs, it was dark everywhere, and none of the helpers got up. Following the taste to the kitchen, he found two tomatoes in the refrigerator, grabbed them and went out.
Shao's father and Shao's mother have a healthy schedule. They wake up at seven o'clock in the morning and can go downstairs for breakfast almost after washing. They have kept this habit for decades.
However, on this day, quite rare, the couple opened their eyes shortly after six o'clock.
It was as if a pair of invisible big hands came in through the cracks in the doors, windows, and various gaps, pouring into their noses with sneaky charm.
Mother Shao took a deep breath. She shed tears before going to bed the night before and her eyelids were still a little swollen. She rubbed her eyes in a daze. After a while, she spit out: "What? It smells good..."
Father Shao blinked, and Did not immediately recover from deep sleep. He learned that his wife took a deep breath, and the sweet scent rolled from his nose to his heart, paused and rolled repeatedly in his chest, not retreating for a long time.
After a while, he swallowed, and echoed in a dazed manner: "Yes... it smells good..."
