Chapter 89 The Old Man's Secret!
At the top of the lobby, there were two purple grand master chairs. Wang Chong saw two silver-haired old men sitting upright, with Yue Zhiyuan facing them, with majestic faces.
"grandfather!"
With a crisp call, before Wang Chong could react, the little girl ran over quickly and threw herself into the arms of the two old men.
"Hey, look who's here?"
"Isn't this Xiaoyao from our family?"
"Little guy, do you finally remember to visit grandpa?"
...
In the lobby, the majestic silver-haired old man opened his arms, hugged the younger sister of the Wang family, and put it on his lap, with a kind and friendly expression on his face.
And Wang Jia Xiaoyao was not polite, she tried her best to act like a baby in the arms of the two silver-haired old men, while calling her grandpa and grandma tiredly.
Seeing this scene, the people in the room had complex expressions. Even Wang Chong's cousin, Wang Li, couldn't help showing jealousy.
The old man was harsh by nature, and in front of him, no one dared to show his air, even Wang Chong's uncle Wang Gen was the same.
The entire Wang family, with the exception of Xiaoyao from the Wang family, is noisy every time they see her in front of them, but the old man and the old lady don't mind at all, and like her very much.
This is my little sister's exclusive ability, and no one can learn it.
"Father, my daughter is here to wish you a birthday. I wish you good luck like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan!"
Wang Chong's aunt and uncle first carried two big birthday peaches and went up respectfully to celebrate his birthday. The old man is clean and honest by nature, and he doesn't like things that are too extravagant and rich.
There have been people who sent those valuable things before, but not only were the things sent back, but they were also scolded.
Therefore, even though it was his seventieth birthday, no one dared to break the old man's taboo and make a fuss. The gifts are all simple and simple things.
Besides, the old man doesn't like it either!
"Well, I am interested."
The old man nodded slightly and took the peach without showing much expression. In the Wang family, everyone knows that the old man's temper is like this.
His temperament is strict and unsmiling, even on a big day like his 70th birthday, he didn't reveal much.
After my uncle and aunt celebrated their birthdays, they took their cousin Wang Liang and stood aside in a respectful manner.
The old man didn't ask any questions, so the others didn't dare to say more.
"Grandpa, grandson Wang Chong, I wish you blessings like the long flowing water of the East Sea, and a life as long as Nanshan!"
When it was time for his mother to celebrate her birthday, Wang Chong suddenly stepped forward and said.
"Oh?"
As soon as Wang Chong finished speaking, everyone in the room immediately looked over, including the old man and the old lady on the teacher's chair. They also looked over one after another. It was the first time they noticed Wang Chong next to him, and there was a strange look in their eyes.
People from the Wang family came to celebrate their birthday this time. Everyone said "blessing is like the East China Sea, longevity is better than Nanshan". Wang Chong is also the same, but with a few words added at the end, the whole mood is completely different.
The two have heard many birthday wishes, but this is the first time they have heard such birthday words.
"Hehe, old man, listen to it, this kid is very handsome like you were back then!"
The old lady suddenly said with a smile.
"good!"
The old man just smiled and nodded,
Not much to say. But on the side, Wang Chong's uncle, aunt and uncle were all moved.
The Wang family all know that in order to let the Wang family guard against arrogance and impetuosity, don't be too proud, the old man seldom praises others. Even for Wang Chong's uncle, Wang Gen, the old man just nodded slightly most of the time.
"Not bad" sounds like an understatement, it's nothing, but anyone familiar with it knows that this is already quite rare.
"...In addition, grandson has a gift for you."
Wang Chong said.
As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. Wang Chong's elder aunt, Wang Rushuang, winked anxiously, while Wang Chong's uncle was also silent.
On the contrary, it was Wang Chong's eldest aunt. Although she had a calm face just now, she sneered from the sidelines at this moment.
Everyone in the Wang family knows that the old man is upright and clean, and he never likes to accept gifts.
Not only do they not accept gifts from outsiders, even if they are members of the Wang family, they will never accept them except on special occasions. Moreover, they only accept gifts from Wang Chong's uncles and uncles.
As for juniors, they are not accepted at all. I just don't want the juniors to be contaminated with the habits of the officialdom since they were young, and learn to "reciprocate courtesy" at a young age to receive and give gifts.
Unexpectedly, the old man just praised a few words, and Wang Chong immediately made a taboo here.
"Children just can't help boasting!"
Wang Chong's eldest aunt was moaning beside him.
The old man sat on the teacher's chair and looked at Wang Chong with no expression on his face. The old lady on the side also smiled.
"What gift did you send?"
To everyone's surprise, the old man said suddenly, staring at the rectangular object in Wang Chong's hand. No one knows what he is thinking.
"A sword!"
Wang Chong knelt on the ground and spoke the truth.
boom!
As soon as Wang Chong finished speaking, the whole hall exploded instantly.
"Chong'er, what are you doing?"
Wang Chong's mother's face changed drastically. She had noticed that when Wang Chong got into the car, he was holding a long bag in his hand, which was tightly wrapped in a long cloth.
It's just that Zhao Shuhua didn't expect that this was actually a sword.
The sword is bloody, and Wang Chong took out such a weapon before the old man, which is a serious crime.
"Wang Chong, don't back down!"
Wang Chong's uncle, Wang Gen, couldn't help scolding. Last time, Wang Chong helped him solve the matter of his eldest son, Wang Li, and avoided being used by the Yao family.
As a result, Wang Gen's opinion of Wang Chong changed greatly, so when Wang Chong's eldest aunt was sarcastic in the car, he would stop him from the sidelines.
But giving swords on such a happy day as the 70th birthday is too outrageous.
Even if Wang Chong is young, it is absolutely impossible to do this.
"Chong'er, why are you so ignorant! Aren't you cursing your grandpa? Put your things away quickly and apologize to grandpa."
Wang Chong's aunt also said anxiously.
The kid was too young and too reckless. Not long ago, he just had such a good performance that attracted the attention of the old man, and even made an exception to praise him this time because of his congratulatory speech. Why did he become confused so quickly?
Isn't this self-destructive future?
For Wang Chong, Wang Rushuang still has a good impression. Wang Rushuang didn't think he did it on purpose when Wang Chong gave him a sword on his birthday. I'm afraid it's more because young people are ignorant and don't understand these taboos.
The old lady has a kind personality, which is different from the old man, but she also stopped smiling at this time and pursed her lips tightly.
Wang Chong's cousin Wang Li didn't say anything, he just glanced at Wang Chong and frowned. On the contrary, Wang Zhuyan who was on the side was taken aback by Wang Chong, and the aunt who followed Wang Chong winked at the side.
"Why did you give me a sword?"
The old man said in a deep voice.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became more oppressive.
Wang Chong held the sword and knelt on the ground, but there was no change on his face.
"The grandson gave me an epee! My grandson thinks that this sword is the best match for my grandfather, and it can best express my grandson's feelings!"
As soon as the voice fell, no one else in the room could react, but the old man heard it. And Wang Chong's uncle couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
This nephew really surprised him more and more.
"The epee has no front, great skill does not work", Wang Chong's words undoubtedly meant that the sword he gave did not have a front. A truly powerful sword does not need to be sharpened, but it is also full of power, and those truly ingenious things do not need to be carefully polished, just like the saying "Tibetan ink on the chest is as empty as grain, and poetry and calligraphy in the belly are self-sufficient".
Could it be that Wang Chong wanted to say that although the old man has retired, even though he is an octogenarian, and even though he lives in such a simple and unpretentious courtyard, he is still an important minister who holds power in the empire and is respected by the government and the public.
This kind of status has reached the point where it does not need the rewards of high-ranking officials, the glory of the purple ribbon fish charm, and the congratulations of civil and military officials.
——Just like the epee in Wang Chong's hand!
If this nephew really thought so and gave the old man an epee as a gift, it would be really amazing!
Even Wang Gen hadn't thought of this before. Undoubtedly, no matter whether it is giving birthday peaches or anything else, there is nothing more appropriate than this and can win the old man's heart.
Sure enough, the old man seemed to have thought of this too, with a smile on his face.
"Take it here!"
The old man opened his mouth and stretched out a palm. Wang Chong walked over on his knees and handed the sword to the old man respectfully.
This is Wang Chong willingly.
Wang Chong respected the old man from the bottom of his heart. For many things, it takes many years to understand the meaning of them.
Wang Chong only learned about many things about the old man when he passed away.
In the Tang Empire, there are two true legends.
One is Yao Feng's father, old man Yao, the pillar of the Yao family. And the other person is his grandfather. Everyone respectfully called him "Jiu Gong".
His life has gone through vicissitudes and experienced many storms. He once guarded the northern borders and fought fiercely with the two Turkic Khanates.
He also once commented on the current situation in the imperial court, was impassioned, actively eradicated all kinds of old shackles, and led a new atmosphere in the ruling and opposition parties.
Back then, the palace coup d'état and the empire was in danger. He resisted all opinions and pushed the current emperor so hard that the unprecedentedly powerful empire came into being today.
His disciples are old all over the world!
At his peak, the torrent retreated bravely.
He was upright and honest all his life, and was respected by the empire.
...
Even after he retired, the current Holy Majesty couldn't help but build this Sifang Pavilion, wanting to keep him!
Every historical figure has some prototypes. Wang Chong once wondered why the old man had such a great influence in the government and the public, but he couldn't find such a person in history at all?
It wasn't until many years later that a name flashed in Wang Chong's mind that Wang Chong didn't know who his grandfather was.
Zhang Jiuling!
The famous Jishi name in the history of the Tang Dynasty is also the last name. It's just that in this world, he is called "Wang Jiuling", and everyone respectfully calls him:
Jiugong!
