At two o'clock in the morning, everything was silent, and the surroundings were pitch black, and only the Nalan Mansion was brightly lit.
The women sat in the side hall, each with sad faces. A few young girls couldn't help but choked and sobbed.
The men sat in the main hall not far away, with sad expressions and different expressions.
Nalan Zhenbang, Nalan Zhenshan, Nalan Zhenhai, Nalan Zhende, Nalan Wencheng, Nalan Wenyi....Sit on one side, Nalan Ziying, Nalan Ziran, Nalan Ziran, Nalan Zi
Jian, Nalan Zihui, Nalan Zijun, Nalan Zilian...sit on one side.
The Nalan family members have not been together so neatly for a long time. The scenes that should have greeted and chatted with each other did not appear, but were surprisingly quiet.
No one spoke, and the hall was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing, and the atmosphere was depressing and dull.
The door of the second floor creaked and broke the silence. Pang Zhiyuan pushed the door out and stood in front of the railing.
"Zhenbang, the old man has something to say to you."
Nalan Zhenbang stood up and walked slowly up the stairs. Every step was extremely heavy. The day finally came. This meant the end of one era in the Nalan family, but it did not necessarily mean another era.
Turn on.
The Nalan family finally reached the intersection!
Pushing the door, Nalan Wenruo leaned on the backrest halfway, combed her head with silver silk meticulously. He still paid so much attention to details, even if he was terminally ill, he had to dress up decently.
He hadn't visited his father for a long time. In his impression, his father was like a towering mountain, standing forever, but at this moment, his father on the bed had a haggard face, a pale face, and lifelessness.
"dad".
Nalan Wenruo nodded gently and smiled, "Zhenbang, how long has it been since you called me dad?"
"Twenty-five years, five months and fifteen days."
Nalan Wenruo smiled, "It's early morning now, it should be twenty-five years, five months and sixteen days."
Nalan Zhenbang's body trembled slightly, a feeling of sorrow surged into his heart, and his eyes were covered with mist.
"You remember so clearly"?
"Zhenbang, you have always been in my heart. There are 20 days left to be your 70th birthday, but unfortunately I can't catch up."
Nalan Zhenbang's mouth twitched, "Dad, my son is unfilial."
Nalan Wenruo shook his head, "Whoever stipulates that my son must listen to his father, you have your ideas and opinions, which shows that my education for you is successful. A country has reformists and conservatives, and a family also
Same. Actually, I have thought about what would happen if I heard of you in the past? Maybe the Nalan family is not as glorious as today, but it will not leave today's hidden dangers."
"Dad, it's all over."
"For me, it's almost over, for you, it's just the beginning."
Nalan Zhenbang sat at the head of the bed, holding Nalan Wenruo's dry palms with both hands.
Pang Zhiyuan, who was standing beside him, had moist eyes. Since the incident twenty-five years ago, the father and son were strangers. In this way, the old man's heart could finally be untied.
Nalan Wenruo smiled with relief, "Zhenbang, am I wrong?"
"No, you have devoted all your life to the Nalan family, carrying the sky and the earth on your shoulders, and protecting each of us with your arms. You are for the good of the Nalan family and for the good of the descendants of the Nalan family."
"Oh," Nalan Wenruo sighed, "Yes, you are not for the sake of the Nalan family. Our starting point is no different, the difference lies in the methods and methods."
Nalan Zhenbang has mixed feelings. He respects and loves his father emotionally, but he sings opposites in practical actions. He has been free from the Nalan family for more than 20 years and has never shared any sorrow for his father. Today
Seeing that my father was like this.
"Zhenbang, I expel you from the family power circle and have ignored you for more than 20 years. Do you hate me?"
Nalan Zhenbang raised his head, his father's eyes were filled with a hint of worry and hope, "Father, I have never hated you."
Nalan Wenruo smiled on his face, "That's good, that's good."
"Zhenbang, you are pure and gentle in nature, elegant in temperament, and most like a scholar. In fact, there is no simple scholar in our Nalan family. Simple scholars have been eaten by this world. After Zhenshan took over the family, he took over the family.
, I have been working hard to live a life of leisurely seeing the southern mountain under the eastern fence. I thought I could finally pursue the spirit of a real scholar, but it took me twenty years to realize that it was just a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water. The Nalan family
After all, people can't be scholars."
"Father,
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so it’s time for you to let go.”
Nalan Wenruo smiled faintly, "Every Chinese almost said this, your grandfather said to your great grandfather, I also said to your grandfather, one day Ziran would also keep this sentence intact.
I give it to you. I believe that all the children in the world have said to their parents, but just like children and grandchildren do not listen to the elders, an old man listens to the children and grandchildren again. We Chinese have not yet swallowed our last breath.
It won't stop nagging, it's tradition."
"Father, I understand your worries. I will do my best to protect the Nalan family."
Nalan Wenruo nodded with satisfaction, "I knew my boss knew the most about the general idea."
Seeing that Nalan Wenruo was pale and breathing rapidly, Nalan Zhenbang felt unbearable, "Father, stop talking, take a break."
Nalan Wenruo waved his hand and continued, "You have the same generation, you dare to innovate and make innovations, and the next generation, you have a son Jian, dare to break the shackles. You are all good descendants of the Nalan family. Maybe in your eyes, I am a stubborn person, but in reality
I just understood more deeply and thought more cautiously. Zhenbang, the ship was difficult to turn around. The establishment of a big family took several generations, but it only collapsed overnight. We fell too deep, and we all prospered and lost.
To lose both sides, reinforcing their lives is equivalent to reinforcing their own lives. Lu Shanmin is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, we are different."
Nalan Zhenbang bowed his head and said nothing. He didn't understand these principles, but as Nalan Wenruo said, he was more like a scholar in his bones. The law of heaven and justice and family interests were mutually exchanged, which tortured him for decades.
.
"Zijian probably won't listen to these principles."
When talking about Nalan Zijian, Nalan Wenruo showed an extremely complicated expression on his face.
"You are different. You are kind and filial. Even if you don't agree with me, you never do anything out of order. Zijian not only has hills, but also swords. His swords are only obedient to his heart, and there is nothing at all.
He has no bottom line. Once I leave, he will be out of the cage. No one can restrain him anymore."
"Father, Zijian also has a heart that is desperate for the Nalan family."
Nalan Wenruo sighed, "This is exactly what I worry about the most. It would be great if he was a slutty boy."
"Zhenbang, I remember that Zijian was most afraid of you when he was a child. As long as your face changed slightly, he would be able to restrain himself. He was closest to you, and his relationship with you is much deeper than his father. He also listened to you the most since childhood.
, You should look at him more in the future.”
"Father..."! Seeing the begging in Nalan Wenruo's eyes, Nalan Zhenbang swallowed the following words back.
"Zhenbang, I know that you should not kidnap you with moral integrity, but for the sake of your death for your father, you have to worry."
Nalan Zhenbang nodded gritted his teeth and said, "My son does his best."
In the hall, everyone was looking at the door on the second floor, and Nalan Zijian was no exception. He was always hippie and smiling and quiet at this moment. He had a lot of things to say to his grandfather, such as the joys of family life when he was a child, such as him.
My current mood, such as the future of the Nalan family, and his real hope that he will live another hundred years.
Nalan Ziying glanced at Nalan Zijian lightly, his eyes were cold and plain. He didn't expect that this naughty brother, who was a child, would become the biggest stumbling block in his life when he grew up, and he didn't expect that because of his existence, the Nalan family
There have been cracks in the surface of harmony. He has a desire for power, but he also clearly knows that the premise for the existence of all power is the strength of the Nalan family, and this younger brother has no bottom line for power.
Nalan Ziran Yuguang has been looking at Nalan Zijian. Compared to Nalan Ziying, he cares more about Nalan Zijian now. Although he thinks he is not inferior to this third brother, he always sees him with his own eyes.
When he was, he always felt uneasy in his heart. He was too deep. Whether he was laughing, scolding, or being quiet and indifferent at the moment, he was always calm and composed, and he felt a sense of ease and confidence all over his body. After looking at him for so long, he
But I never looked at him at all. Is this a strong self-confidence in myself? Or is it a kind of disdain to look at him at all? No matter which one it is, it deeply hurts his self-esteem.
Nalan Zhenshan and Nalan Zhenhai both had sadness on their faces, but Nalan Zhenshan was worried in the sadness. The time when the old man left was too coincidental. Zi Ran's foundation was still shallow, Zi Jian showed his sharpness, Donghai was a
The price war not only excluded Ziying from the ranks of heirs, but his prestige as the chairman was also greatly shaken. Now I think all this is Nalan Zijian's plan. One move goes with the flow, another move fights and eliminates it.
, silently created such a situation. Although the old man's will was there, he was confident that he would stabilize the situation, but he believed that Nalan Zijian would never give up like this, no matter what he had.
The Nalan family will be a great blow to the Nalan family. The Nalan family began to be brilliant in the hands of the old man and gradually grew stronger in his hands. The Nalan family is not only the old man's lifelong hard work, but also the lifelong hard work.
Compared to Nalan Zhenshan, Nalan Zhenhai's sadness was filled with a deep resentment. He thought that his elder brother Nalan Zhenbang had nothing to say when he inherited the position of head of the family. After all, the boss was in terms of ability or prestige.
He was convinced. When the boss was kicked out of the power circle, he thought he could get on the throne, but he didn't expect that Nalan Zhenshan would take the position, but he was not convinced. Whether in terms of ability or the power of his parents
He thought he was the best candidate. He was depressed in those years, and he did not come out of the shadow until his son's talent gradually revealed. Over the years, Zijian was undoubtedly the most talented in the Nalan family.
It is undoubtedly the old man's favorite grandson. He thought that his son would take back what he had lost sooner or later, but he still failed in the end. In his opinion, Nalan Ziran was with his son no matter which aspect he was talking about.
It's much worse than that, why can he get on the top?
The door of the second floor opened, Nalan Zhenbang walked out, and everyone's eyes were collectively turned to him. Nalan Zhenbang's steps were still heavy, with faint tears on his face, slowly walked into the hall and sat on the sofa.
.
"Second brother, third brother, my father asked you to go up."
Nalan Zhenshan and Nalan Zhenhai stood up and walked towards the second floor.
Nalan Ziran quickly asked, "Dad, how are grandpa?"
Nalan Zhenbang looked at his son's anxious and panicked eyes. In addition to concern, there was more content in his eyes. No one knows his son than his father. How could he not know Nalan Ziran's ambition? This seems to be wholehearted.
A son who reads the books of sages and studies has a greater desire for power than anyone else. This is a good thing and a bad thing. The advantage is that the Nalan family needs such people. The disadvantage is that if the ability is not matched, they will fall into the endless abyss.
Nalan Ziran was still immersed in victory and could not extricate himself. Perhaps he was ready to deal with everything next, but he was not aware of what he would face next. He knew his son too well, and
I know Nalan Zijian very well.
"Speak well with grandpa for a while."
Nalan Ziran left tears. No one knew whether it was a sad or an excited tears, and perhaps even he himself didn't know.
After a few minutes, Nalan Zhenhai walked out of the room, with a strong anger on his face, and sat on the sofa coldly, "Zi Ran, Zi Ying, the old man asked you to go up."
.
Nalan Zhenbang half-squinted his eyes, "Zhenhai, the voice is smaller."
Nalan Zhenhai's chest was undulating, and his stomach was burning like a ball of fire.
"Brother, why do you want me to quit everything in the family?"
The others in the family were also stunned. Some of them did not understand some things and were extremely surprised by Nalan Zhenhai's words.
Nalan Zhenbang said lightly: "The old man has his own ideas."
"His idea is to clear the obstacles for Zi Ran to inherit the position of the head of the family. I am his son and his own son. He has thought about whether I feel that I can gain a foothold in the family in the future. In his eyes, I am a
Are you a person with a small temperament and no regard for the overall situation?”
Nalan Zhenbang originally wanted to say that you were a person who ignored the overall situation, but he didn't say it, but turned to look at Nalan Zijian. His eyes were always staring at the door of the second floor, no matter if others looked at him.
OK, it's better that his father shouted, but he didn't move his eyes at all, and I don't know what he was thinking at the moment.
The hall quieted again, time passed by minute by minute. After more than ten minutes, a sad cry came from the second floor. The door opened and Pang Zhiyuan walked out with a sad expression: "The old man has left, and he has come in at the end.
Take a look”.
The women who heard the side heard the sob turned into tears, and the men in the main hall slowly stood up.
Everyone walked up the stairs with grief and awe and walked into the room, only Nalan Zijian sat alone in the hall.
After everyone left, Nalan Zijian slowly stood up and knelt down to the second-floor room. Tears flowed down his eyes and ticked down his cheeks to the floor, splashing water.
"Grandpa, grandson is unfilial"!
