Old Tong glanced sideways at Li Shushi, then slowly opened the wine bottle that he found out from somewhere, raised his neck and took another big sip, and then returned to his seat with satisfaction.
"Solution? I don't know how to solve it. Anyway, one night I saw a woman suddenly appear on my bed, and then I saw a note that said 'Junior brother is looking for sister-in-law for senior brother', but the font was definitely not mine.
The second junior brother. But old man, I was too depressed when I was a soldier, so I accepted it as a matter of course without much thought."
"Oh~" Li Shushi made a fist with his right hand and gently tapped the palm of his left hand with a look of sudden realization. "It turns out she is a soft girl from heaven."
"What's a 'soft girl'? You're a soft girl. Where did you learn such nonsense? Anyway, I didn't know until the woman woke up the next morning that she was the eldest daughter of the Yan family. Then I saw my junior brother holding her
It is said that a woman who is the second young lady of the Yan family came in, and there was also a note in his room saying, 'Senior Brother is looking for a sister-in-law for Junior Brother,' but the handwriting was completely different from the note I had."
Which genius is so powerful? Li Shushi felt like he had a lawsuit on his forehead.
"It can't be your adoptive father's fault, he is so capable." Li Shushi asked weakly what he thought.
"I have suspected this before, but unfortunately my foster father refused to admit it. He also told me that other people in this world would not be so boring, but those immortals with long lives must be very boring. Oh, do you think I don't know? He
Didn’t you end up getting mixed up with a lower-level god? Who are you kidding?”
Li Shushi felt that there were more and more black lines on his head. Both father and son were unnatural and uncomfortable.
"Then the last two young ladies won't be able to think about it, right?" Looking at Old Man Tong's lonely appearance, Li Shushi doubted whether the two girls could bear such a big blow.
"It's okay~ Although Yun'er has resentment towards her junior brother, as a brother, I don't want to get married, but he, as a younger brother, is not easy to do. Except that his methods are a bit excessive, he is still fair. In fact, she was just
But I was a little angry at my junior brother for breaking off the engagement.
Anyway, her reputation has been ruined by her junior brother, so I can barely accept it. And it is a kind of fun to bully the junior brother with her younger siblings on weekdays. Anyway, the junior brother knows that he is wrong, Yun'er is not too much, and his life is good.
I'm actually happy."
Before Li Shushi could express any doubts, Old Tong continued his storyteller career.
"Yu Meizi is also very satisfied with her junior brother. Junior brother was one of the most beautiful men in the area back then. He was talented in literature and martial arts. Although his temper was a bit reckless at times, he and his sister-in-law got along well. The two of them were crazy all day long and sometimes they were really noisy.
It’s so frustrating.”
"What about you, Old Man Tong? Do you think you look very bad for the audience?" Li Shushi wrote a classic novel "Beauty and the Beast" in his mind in an instant.
"Me? I'm very ordinary. Except for my martial arts, which is slightly better than my junior brother, I'm really far inferior to him in other aspects."
Old Tong does not boast, nor does he avoid his weaknesses at all. Perhaps he has looked away, or perhaps his reputation no longer requires him to hide his shortcomings to increase his image.
"Yun'er once threw herself into a well. Although she was discovered in time, she was so stimulated by the cold well water that she became ill. As a result, she left after giving birth to Fei'er."
"Huh? Old man Tong, you have a child."
"Yes, it has happened before, but it has been buried in the valley for a long time now. Fei'er's qualifications are better than mine, and he is not as old as Wang Yue, that old pervert, but he is definitely better than me back then. He married Dan, the daughter of his junior brother
Son, in Duan again
The Taiwei's subordinates obeyed orders, and their future was promising. Unfortunately, God was unfair. Fei'er died tragically because he was involved in a fight between the then Sili Colonel Yang Qiu and the Shaofu Chen Qiu, and the Zhongchang Shi Wang Fu and Duan Lao Taiwei.
In prison."
Li Shushi knew about Duan Juan's death because he once admired this old general who was decisive in killing, so he also had some knowledge of his life. At that time, Duan Juan had different opinions with his colleague Zhang Huan, who was also from Liangzhou. In order to realize
He turned to the eunuchs for his own political demands, and later, with the support of Cao Jie and Wang Fu, he became the Taiwei, one of the three princes.
Unfortunately, Emperor Ling was selling his official position in Xiyuan at that time, and Wang Fu also opened a similar organization in the suburbs of Beijing. This made Emperor Ling, who regarded wealth as his life, very angry. As a result, Yang Qiu, a cruel official, took the opportunity to attack and wiped out Wang Fu's party. Duan
Jiao committed suicide because of his crime, but Cao Jie was spared because he stayed with the emperor all day long.
Of course, Yang Qiu and Chen Qiu were not much better. Because Wang Fu was killed and Cao Jie's men killed countless people, Yang Qiu relaxed his attention to Cao Jie, but Cao Jie took advantage of Ling Emperor to easily play with him.
Death. Chen Qiu was also directly sentenced to death by Emperor Ling because he helped Yang Qiu's activities and misappropriated the funds of the Shaofu, which managed the income of the royal family's mountains, rivers and lakes.
There are only a few strokes about this incident in the history books, even for such important figures, but you will never be able to see clearly what unknown and small figures were involved unless you clear away the fog of history.
"Dan'er was already pregnant, but the blow was too great, and she died of miscarriage. My junior brother and sister-in-law couldn't withstand the blow, and they died of depression within two years. I was the only one left who had been lonely since childhood.
The old guy is still alive."
Although Old Man Tong looked a little sad, he was in good spirits. He seemed to have found a place to bury himself before finishing the story.
"Hey, once you enter the officialdom, it's as deep as the sea. But then again, it's useless if you don't enter or jump into this whirlpool? So, do something vigorously while you are still young. At least you will be less embarrassed when you die.
regret."
"Old Tong, can you feel less regretful?" Li Shushi's heart started to rise again.
"Of course, I have been on the battlefield for decades, and countless barbarians have died under my gun. I have done enough in this life. Of course, it is a bit regretful."
"What? Let's talk about it first. Don't let me inherit something that is too difficult." Li Shushi felt a chill running down his back, as if something strange was coming to him.
"Difficult? No, this matter is not difficult at all."
Old Man Tong's strange face made Li Shushi shudder. As soon as he turned around and ran away, he felt that his calves seemed to be running on the air.
"Don't run away in such a hurry, I'm talking about business." Old Man Tong's voice no longer meant to be joking.
After having been with Old Tong for so long, Li Shushi had already figured out the old man's temper. He could tell clearly when he could joke and when he couldn't, so when he saw Old Tong's face now, he stopped playing around with him.
"I was an orphan, and I never knew that I had any relatives. Even my surname was inherited from my adoptive father. However, I still have three useless apprentices when I grow old. And my junior brother is also the only child in the family. Over the years, he has been the only child in the family.
Although my family has been taken care of by me and some of my old comrades, it has not failed, but if I leave one day, then there won’t even be a single person in the junior brother’s lineage.”
Li Shushi heard what Old Man Tong said and more or less understood what he meant.
"You are also surnamed Li, and your parents are both gone. I hope you can inherit my junior brother's family business and incense. I have been observing you for a long time. Although you are a bit lazy, you have a good heart and good luck.
Not bad. And now you have it yourself
I don’t need to worry about you inheriting my junior brother’s family business and not being able to keep it, so I hope you can promise me. Of course, if you have more than one son in the future, just give one of them to my adoptive father to renew his legacy.
, it’s not like I’ve hurt you for so long in vain.”
Sure enough, sure enough, but Li Shushi doesn't have any objections to this. He was a homeless person when he traveled through time. After having such an identity, he will be an aboriginal with status in the future, right? Clan, that is survival.
In this era, it is your biggest reliance.
Thinking of this, Li Shushi nodded to Old Man Tong, indicating that he agreed to Old Man Tong's request.
"Haha, then quickly kowtow to your ancestor. Junior brother, junior brother, this is your grandson. You and your siblings must take good care of him in heaven."
Seeing Li Shushi respectfully kowtow to himself three times, Old Man Tong burst into laughter at first, and then he couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart any longer, and just laughed and cried at the same time.
Li Shushi came gently behind Old Tong and gently stroked his back. Looking at Old Tong crying in front of him, Li Shushi actually envied the grandfather he had just recognized.
"Will I have a group of brothers like this by my side in the future?" Li Shushi thought to himself, looking at Old Man Tong with some longing.
p.s. I sent out the signing contract today. Having said that, writing this book is really like a roller coaster. First, the data in this book made us despair, and then when we were desperate, our signing application was approved, and finally there was some hope. Editor-in-Chief
The first sentence we talked to during QQ was that we were going to write this book as it is. I was a bit confused whether we should change this book to have more commercial elements as per the editor’s request, or continue writing it according to our own mood.
