Writing is like being a human being. Many elderly people in China recognize this principle.
When you are young, you can write in a more domineering style, and it is normal to include a bit of murderousness.
Entering middle age, some men who have completed primitive accumulation and are in the period of accumulation and accumulation begin to write beautiful regular script, with square and round characters, restrained and accessible,
When they reach the age of fifty or sixty, many elderly people begin to take a vigorous approach. Their life experience and experiences are enough. Like a pot of old wine that has been stored for many years, the intoxicating smell wafts out.
As for the old man of the Xue family, this treasure of Yanjing who has lived for a hundred years, his handwriting has the meaning of returning to nature. Unless he is an old scholar who has been immersed in Buddhism for decades, most people will probably see the old man's handwriting. I feel that his calligraphy is really unflattering.
It's not even close,
The strokes are drawn in a regular manner, not much different from that of a primary school student who has just learned to write. It is difficult to imagine that it was written by an old man who can talk in front of countless big shots in Yanjing.
old naughty boy,
Probably this is the old man I'm talking about,
Xue Bailing was holding a bowl of lotus seed soup. Ning Gu asked Xue Bailing to bring it.
The old man didn't show any pretense. As soon as his granddaughter came in, he put down his hair and took the lotus seed soup in a casual manner and started eating it. After finishing the meal, he wiped his mouth and said, "It's been almost thirty years, and no one can make a baby." With the smell of Ning'er, old man, I was a wanderer in the first half of my life, and happy and stable in the second half of my life."
A complex look flashed across the corner of Xue Bailing's eyes, but she did not delve into the other meaning of the old man's words.
"Are you busy lately?" the old man asked with friendly eyes.
"It's okay. Except for a few big contracts, people in other situations can handle it." Xue Bailing said frankly,
"Then let's have a popular birthday party among you young people." The old man said bluntly, "I remember it's your birthday next week."
"Yes." Xue Bailing nodded, "February 18th."
"Who are you going to invite?" the old man said with a smile.
Xue Bailing frowned slightly and said calmly: "Wouldn't it be nice for my family to have a meal?"
"Not good." The old man shook his head and said, "Your parents are in the United States, Xue Gui's parents are in Canada, and none of the other uncles are willing to stay in Yanjing and have a meal. It's just the three of us."
Xue Bailing pursed her lips and said, "Xue Gui has complained to you."
"Nothing to talk about." The old man was not embarrassed and said with a smile, "The little guy's attitude was very dignified this time. He didn't say any dirty words or make any obscene gestures. Before he left, he even handed me a Chinese stick. I guess if I don't replace him, He told you that if you want to smoke his cigarettes next time, you have to wait until you go to the grave."
Xue Bailing frowned deeper. She didn't know whether she was dissatisfied with the old man's unlucky words or unhappy with Xue Gui's actions.
"Bai Ling, grandpa shouldn't imitate Xue Gui. After all, grandpa has already held a great-grandson. It's unreasonable and unconvincing to persuade you with this. You have devoted thirty years to the Xue family, and the next ten or twenty years will be yours." You definitely can't escape the year, but this is the path you chose. Grandpa is not hypocritical in saying that it's hard for you and wronged you. It's meaningless. It's awkward for a family to say such things." The old man paused for a moment, then continued. Said, "In the past few years, you didn't have much time or energy to support the Xue family. Now the Xue family is generally stable under your operation. Even if it starts to go downhill today, there will be a process before it falls again. There is a long process of decay." , you are not young anymore. You will be thirty after this life, which means you will be thirty-one in real life. No matter how beautiful and noble you are, you have to find a companion. There is no one you can like before, and I can't stand it either. , I have a good impression of this Xiao Lin now. He has enough combat value, his character is honest, he does not cheat, and he treats me as an old man very modestly and respectfully. He is more down-to-earth and reliable than the eccentric young talents that Yanjing has produced in recent years. He is a person who can be trusted for life. Baby, I can see that you don't reject him. You can understand his character during this trip to Tokyo. How should I put it? I don't approve or object to your approach this time. You have it. He also has his own thoughts and positions, but I can guess that he won't blame you, and he doesn't have much resentment. At most, he is a little disappointed and not used to your indifferent attitude. Listen to grandpa, this time Call him here for his birthday. Young people, how can we have such a big feud overnight? We can just laugh it off after having a meal and a glass of wine."
"Only couples don't have an overnight feud." Xue Bailing found out what the old man was saying,
"Haha, I laid so much groundwork in advance to prepare for this sentence, but I didn't expect that you discovered it." The old man smiled like a child and said, "If you don't mind grandpa nagging me, grandpa will tell you something." That person’s history.”
"He." Xue Bailing showed a hint of surprise,
"Well, he, that old gangster who came to our house for dinner and slapped your butt very hooliganly when leaving, said that you were a girl who could give birth to a baby and had to let you marry the son in her wife's belly." The old man laughed,
"Have you always refused to say it?" Xue Bailing asked softly,
That happened when Xue Bailing was seven years old, and he was the only man in the past thirty years who humbly allowed the other person to sit at the table when eating. The most important thing is that the twenty-five-year-old man was almost famous in Yanjing. Little known about it, except for the surprising fact that he has the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulders, there is nothing surprising at all.
There are certainly not many twenty-five-year-old lieutenant colonels in the entire Chinese military, but Xue Bailing knows that an old man like grandpa can talk and laugh with the chief of a large military region, so how can he talk to someone who is fifty years younger than himself? The young man of many years was so polite, and the young officer was not polite at all. He drank bottles of good wine as if he were at his own home, just like drinking water, while his pregnant wife , in terms of appearance alone, he is too ordinary, at least he doesn’t look like a married man to a young officer.
Xue Bailing didn't have a good impression of the young lieutenant colonel. He was the first man to slap her butt like a gangster, and he was also the last one. But Xue Bailing hated that wretched uncle all his life, even if he wanted to make her his wife. Son,
The young lieutenant colonel is very handsome, at least in line with the aesthetics of Xue Bailing's Lolita period. He has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, clear outlines, and a bit of red lips and white teeth. He is a master who can be a beast without the military uniform, and can be a professor on the university podium with glasses. Son, but Xue Bailing was just unhappy with him. Later she became a little wiser, and she still kept asking the old man to find out his identity. As for the purpose, how could the old man who had lived for more than a hundred years not know?
A man can mess with anyone in his life, but never mess with a woman. No matter how docile and virtuous she appears, holding a grudge will make you sleepless and frightened.
"That was before. Now that you are older, it doesn't hurt to talk." The old man said meaningfully,
Although Xue Bailing didn't know why the old man suddenly brought up this issue, it was always hard for Xue Bailing to refuse the old man's interest. Furthermore, he was also somewhat interested in the young officer back then, at least so far. , she also plans to take revenge for that slap on the butt,
"Have you ever heard of the Hidden Dragon?" the old man said slowly,
"I don't know for sure. I just know that it is a secret department of the military. It is more hidden and obscure than the Tiger Camp. It is directly led by a certain commander-in-chief of the military." Xue Bailing said, surprised, "Could it be that he..."
"The direction is wrong." The old man said with a smile, "He is not a Hidden Dragon."
Xue Bailing nodded lightly, waiting for the old man's next words.
"He disappeared after he came to our house for dinner that time. Even my contacts can't find out his whereabouts. He is either dead or..." The old man shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "I can't say for sure, but you can Do you still remember what he said before he left?"
"I don't remember." Xue Bailing shook her head slightly. That was more than 20 years ago. No matter how smart she was, it would be difficult for her to remember anything other than the patting on her butt.
"He said that his goal in life is to fight with the Hidden Dragon." After the old man said that, his pupils twitched slightly and he said with a smile: "Hey, I called him crazy at that time, but he just smiled and didn't explain anything. But it is obvious that the Hidden Dragons now are not as impressive as they were back then. At least from a certain perspective, they are restricted in their movements. Although I can’t figure out what they are afraid of, it makes me think involuntarily. I understand that guy’s bold words.”
"You mean, it might be what he did." Xue Bailing asked tentatively,
"Who knows, at the last memorial service of Han Zhenbei, didn't you say that Zhuge Zhenghong of the Zhuge family was causing trouble, and he was dragged away by Zhuge Zhuge?" the old man said,
"Um."
"Let me tell you, that old lady Zhuge is one of the founders of Hidden Dragon." The old man said calmly, "Speaking of which, Hidden Dragon was founded fifty years ago."
"According to what you said, Grandma Zhuge may be afraid of something." Xue Bailing keenly captured the key point, "It has something to do with my existence that Hidden Dragon has been suppressed all these years."
"It's related to some kind of military presence." The old man smiled and said,
"You are also suspecting that this existence has something to do with the guy who put down the bold words." Xue Bailing frowned slightly,
"I can't be sure. He has been missing for twenty years. Who knows the specific situation." The old man said with a smile.
"You have said so much, what does it have to do with what we talked about before, and what does it have to do with him." Xue Bailing frowned slightly and said,
"I didn't expect that." The old man asked with a half-smile.
Xue Bailing was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.
First of all, the clue that the old man put down was the gangster uncle who slapped his butt.
Secondly, there is the Hidden Dragon,
Then, one of the founders of Zhelong beat away his son at Han Zhenbei's memorial service. It was obvious that she was not trying to rescue the Han family, but was afraid of someone or a certain force.
Finally, the old man asked himself to guess,
Xue Bailing's smart mind quickly sorted out the clues, and her beautiful eyes shone slightly as she said: "The forces that General Zhuge is afraid of may have something to do with someone present, or..."
"Who are the suspects at the scene?" the old man asked,
"Lin Ze's military friend." Xue Bailing answered directly,
"Lin Ze's friend." The old man's smile became even stronger, "Do you know who Lin Ze's friend is? He is the son of one of the four chiefs of the military."
Xue Bailing's expression changed drastically and she was almost speechless.
