Konoha Feige

Just entered the house.A middle-aged woman rushed up and carefully inspected He Shuyi's whole body from top to bottom. "Daughter, you weren't hurt anywhere, were you?" Luo Meirong asked with concern.

He Shuyi glanced at her mother coldly and ignored her.

There was also a middle-aged man in the house.He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his hair was neatly combed and shiny; his expression was cold and polite.The man was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea leisurely.

He Shuyi did not say hello to the man.She went straight to the refrigerator, took two cans of Coke from it, gave one to Zhao Shuqin, opened one herself, and drank it.

Zhao Shuqin took the Coke and did not open it immediately. "Hello, uncle and aunt!" Zhao Shuqin greeted Luo Meirong and the man with a smile on his face.

Zhao Shuqin could tell that the middle-aged man must be He Shuyi's father, because he looked very similar to Professor He Jian.The middle-aged woman should be He Shuyi's mother, because the two are highly similar in appearance and temperament.

Luo Meirong and his wife ignored Zhao Shuqin.They didn't even take a serious look at Zhao Shuqin.

This made Zhao Shuqin feel very embarrassed.He felt there was no need to stay any longer.

"Shuyi, just take a good rest. I'll go back first." Zhao Shuqin said sarcastically.After that, he turned and left.

"Don't go!" He Shuyi quickly stopped Zhao Shuqin and hugged his arm tightly. "We will climb Guanyin Mountain later." He Shuyi said softly.

The intimate look between the two of them made Luo Meirong extremely disgusted. "He Shuyi, what do you mean? Your father and I are here to worry about you, but you don't even say hello. Do you have any education at all, huh?!" Luo Meirong asked sharply.

"You don't have to worry about my education or not. If you don't like it, you can leave immediately." He Shuyi said nonchalantly.

"Okay, now that you have grown up and your wings have become strong, you don't need your parents anymore." Luo Meirong said dejectedly, obviously disappointed. "If you stubbornly believe that your father and I are not good to you, there is nothing we can do about it. But what I want to tell you is that I gave up half my life to give birth to you. Without us, you would not be where you are today. I I hope you have some conscience." Luo Meirong said sadly.

"I know you gave birth to me. But I know even more that without my grandpa, I wouldn't be alive today." He Shuyi said coldly.

"Okay, is it interesting for you to argue in front of outsiders?" He Shuyi's father said irritably.

"Okay, then I will settle the score with He Shuyi today to see if we have treated her badly." Luo Meirong said angrily, grabbing He Shuyi's arm and pulling it towards the door.

"Let me go!" He Shuyi struggled, trying to get rid of her mother's control.

However, Luo Meirong was angry and her arm strength was surprisingly strong.No matter how He Shuyi resisted, he could never break free from her grasp.Luo Meirong dragged He Shuyi out of the room and slammed the door.

The living room immediately fell silent.Zhao Shuqin couldn't walk, stay, sit, or stand. His situation was even more embarrassing. He could only pass the time by browsing the old and new photos on the wall with a can of Coke in his hand.

Most of the photos are of He Shuyi, and there are people of all ages.They record the transformation process of He Shuyi from a swaddling baby to the current blooming age.Among the remaining ones, a few belong to Professor He.There is only one black and white photo of Luo Meirong and his wife.The couple in the photo are both young and in their prime.Today's He Shuyi looks very much like Luo Meirong at that time.Especially a pair of big eyes, exactly the same as Luo Meirong's at that time.The couple's names were also printed on the photo.He Shuyi's father's name was He Wenyuan, which was probably derived from Zhu Xi's poem "Ask the canal how clear it is, for there is a source of living water."

He Wenyuan drank tea quietly, his brows furrowed and his face solemn.

Zhao Shuqin didn't speak either and remained silent.

The two of them faced each other coldly, and neither said a word.The atmosphere became increasingly dull.

After a long time, He Wenyuan broke the silence.

"Sit down!" He Wenyuan said coolly.

"Thank you!" Zhao Shuqin responded awkwardly but politely.He sat down opposite He Wenyuan.

"Your name is Zhao Shuqin, right?" He Wenyuan finally raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Shuqin.

"Yes." Zhao Shuqin responded while trying his best to smile.

He Wenyuan made Zhao Shuqin a cup of tea.

"Thank you!" Zhao Shuqin replied mechanically.It seemed that he didn't know what else to say except thank you.From He Wenyuan's expression, Zhao Shuqin could read his disdain, arrogance, and condescension.Zhao Shuqin is a very sensitive person with strong self-esteem.For a person who looked down on him, no matter how rich or noble the person was, Zhao Shuqin felt that there was no need to waste more words.Silence is better than sound.Silence is the best way to maintain one's own dignity, and it is also the best weapon to respond to the other party's arrogant attitude.

Zhao Shuqin couldn't wait to leave this room immediately.But in order to take care of He Shuyi's feelings, he did not dare to act rashly.The task assigned by his father to make He Shuyi happy must be completed to the letter.He could only coax her, because he couldn't hold the second girl in his heart.Although it felt like a sin, he had to do it knowingly and without choice.Maybe my father was right, this world is realistic and cruel.Everyone is often unable to help themselves when they are exposed to it.The real situation of his eldest uncle and his second uncle, as well as the difficult experiences he experienced as a child, forced Zhao Shuqin to consider compromise when faced with life choices.But even if this compromise is only temporary, Zhao Shuqin still feels a deep sense of guilt.Therefore, he is actually very conflicted, entangled, and depressed inside.He was even worried that if things continued like this, it would lead to a split personality.

"How many points did you get in the test this year?" He Wenyuan asked slowly.

"Not as good as He Shuyi, just passed the second level." Zhao Shuqin replied nonchalantly.

"Study liberal arts or science?" He Wenyuan continued to ask.

"Science." Zhao Shuqin answered briefly.

He Wenyuan pondered for a moment and said meaningfully: "Young people, you should learn more history."

Zhao Shuqin stopped talking.He really didn't want to talk to He Wenyuan.Seeing that he always had an old face, Zhao Shuqin had no interest in talking.

"Lake history as a mirror and face the future. These words have strong practical educational significance for both the country and individuals." He Wenyuan said enigmatically.He stood up with the teapot, went to the water dispenser to get a pot of water, and then put it on the electric tea stove to boil.Then he drank all the remaining tea in the cup, wiped his mouth, and continued: "Chinese history spans more than 5000 years. It seems complicated and vast, but in fact it can be summed up in one sentence: If you are well-matched, you will not be tired in the world. How do you say it? This household match is not only about the marriage of men and women, but also about the balance of strength and equal strength. In a larger aspect, the same is true at the political level. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, why they reached the pinnacle of China's feudal society was because both the Yang and Li families had gone through several years. Only with the accumulation of generations and a solid foundation can the edifice of the Sui and Tang Dynasties be firmly erected. The same was true for Zhao's Song Dynasty. In the later Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the founders of the empire traveled across the country with their followers. The strangers have no foundation, so each generation is inferior to the last. They directly brought China into a miserable situation of poverty, weakness, dire straits, and eternal destruction. The reason is that they are not in the right family. The strength of the Yang and Li family is not the same as the magnanimity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Match, so they can bring China's feudal society into its peak era. In contrast, in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the rulers of the empire were all upstarts, with shallow foundations and insufficient energy. Their strength and connotation could not match the size of the empire, and they could not bear the development of the country. Because of the heavy load, it collapsed day by day, and in the end, it harmed the country and the people, and became a sinner for the ages."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuqin snorted disdainfully and thought to himself: "Hey, why don't you just say that I'm not worthy of your He Shuyi? Why do you have to beat around the bush and make insinuations about Sang and Huai. Are you tired of talking about such a long bullshit?"
