antique masters in modern times

Murong Hui's mother passed away early, but fortunately, his family has loved him more and more since then. Although there are still regrets, it is not a lack of love.

His parents had a very good relationship. After his mother passed away, his father refused to remarry and raised the children alone.Ordinarily, father and son should be in harmony, but Murong Hui respected his father who was strict and serious since he was a child, but he couldn't get close to him. He was even more guilty, so he stayed with his grandfather all year round and refused to go home, hiding if he could.

But this time, after going to Huaxia for a few months, and returning halfway, seeing his father was too unreasonable, so Murong Hui had no choice but to suppress the idea of ​​running away, and went to the study next to him to wait.

On the side, the old man took Mr. Qin out to relax, saying that the old subordinate rarely came to show him the local scenery.

The uncle comforted Liang Zhenni a few words, then went to the study to call, and asked someone to inquire about better doctors and hospitals.After hanging up the phone, I noticed that in just a few minutes, my nephew had changed seven or eight sitting postures, fully and vividly explaining what it means to be restless ants on a hot pot.

Even if something was on his mind, Murong Xi couldn't help laughing out loud, jokingly said: "People who don't know think you are so naughty and mischievous, so you are afraid of elder brother like this. In fact, you are excellent in martial arts, and your academic performance is not bad. In terms of business It's also obvious that outsiders will compliment you on the young talent when they see you. Although the elder brother looks strict on the surface, he is actually very gentle most of the time. You should be kind and filial, and you should be very compatible."

Murong Hui was shocked by his description and shivered, and resentfully said: "Dad is indeed gentle enough. The problem is that I couldn't see it when I was young. You don't know that every time I got a vaccine or took medicine when I was sick, I was afraid of pain. When he was afraid of suffering, he didn't say a word, just frowned, not to mention how ugly his face was. I was so frightened by his stare that I didn't even dare to pretend to cry, so what should I do? There was a long For a while, he was synonymous with bitterness and pain in my heart, accompanied by the smell of disinfectant. Do you think I can get close to him. "

Murong Xi didn't expect this to be the reason, so he couldn't laugh or cry: "It seems that the big brother used to read a bunch of parenting guides for nothing, and he didn't know that children need to be coaxed."

"Anyway, it's enough for me to respect and be filial to him in my heart. There's no need to put on any family drama." Murong Hui couldn't imagine the scene of his father being gentle and outgoing. The blossoming of the iron tree is a miracle, but the actual effect is very good Is it scary?

Seeing his nephew's avoidance, the uncle smiled and said, "I know a lot of beauties from the art department. Would you like to introduce a gentle and considerate girlfriend to make up for your sadness over the years?"

"You can keep it for yourself, I want to play for two more years."

Murong Hui thanked Bu Min, but couldn't help thinking of Yan You.Although Xiao Yan has a stubborn temper, as long as he strokes his hair, he is usually quite gentle.And he can cook, and he doesn't take drugs and drive cars like American teenagers. He is really a virtuous family.Ah, I must ask him to try the stir-fried dish of Dongxinglou some other day, it must be better than the restaurant's!

Before drooling, Murong Hui didn't forget to change the subject, so as not to be caught by his uncle: "By the way, this time Mr. Qin went abroad, thanks to the help of a person named Mo Yunfeng. He is the one who you often mentioned back then. My friend, I also asked how you are doing, haven't you been in touch these years?"

"Mo Yunfeng?"

Murong Xi, who was originally interested in looking at his nephew's expression of joy and worry, suddenly darkened when he heard the name: "What else did this guy say to you?"

"There's nothing special about the rest, but he's willing to do his best to help us, it must be for your face. Uncle, his family is still an upstart in Hong Kong Island, and I heard that they used to have a lot of background in the Mainland. Did you know that before?" Do you have friendship with our family? Or did you start to have a deep friendship after you became roommates?" Speaking of this, the fire of gossip that Murong Hui was forced to extinguish that day was ignited again.

"Children don't meddle in adults' affairs." When it comes to this person, Murong Xi always seems to be wrong.He actually forgot the rule not to smoke at home, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff: "This guy is a smiling tiger, he is best at stabbing in the dark, don't be fooled by his appearance. See you next time, stay away from him."

Unexpectedly, these words made Murong Hui more and more curious: "Uncle, he didn't mention you in such a tone, as gentle as if he missed his first love, but you said that about him. Did you have anything between you?"

According to Murong Hui's movie brain speculation, the two may have turned against each other because of fighting for a woman, and they have broken off their friendship ever since.Uncle has been single for so many years, and he still gnashes his teeth when he mentions Mo Yunfeng, he must be a loser.However, in the past few years, I haven't seen any woman that my uncle misses with emotion and tears?

But I didn't want to, my uncle's reaction was unexpectedly fierce: "I said don't mention him, just think about it and get angry!"

Murong Hui hadn't seen his uncle raise his eyebrows in anger for some years, he was startled at first, and then became more sympathetic: Uncle was really frustrated in love and betrayed by a former friend, he was so irritable under the double blow.If you feel sad or something, you must be hiding in a place where others can't see it.I really shouldn't expose his scars.

"Uncle, there are no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, forget about her."

Murong Hui thought he was understanding and persuasive, but in exchange for his uncle's grumpy answer: "Nonsense, I didn't—wait a minute, what do you know?"

Look, his complexion has changed, and he was hit by me again.Murong Hui looked at his uncle sympathetically, and was about to persuade him again when he suddenly heard the sound of the study door being pushed open, and then a familiar figure appeared: "Xiao Wu, why are you here?"

The person who came was Murong Hui's father, Murong Shu, the eldest of the five siblings.

He is in his early forties, and his figure is still well maintained. He is tall and burly, not inferior to young people, and his muscles are just right to hold the custom-made suit beautifully.He has a face with Chinese characters that is rare in the Murong family, with blue cheeks looming under the chin.The sword-shaped eyebrows are very thick and deep, coupled with the firm eyes and serious expression, it looks extraordinarily stern while being masculine.The old man has lamented many times that the eldest son's appearance and temperament are completely like the male protagonist in a model play.

Seeing him coming in, Murong Hui hastily went up to meet him, and called Dad respectfully.Murong Shu nodded slightly, as if he had greeted his son, and turned his questioning gaze to fifth younger brother Murong Xi again.

"Brother, it was the fourth brother who had the incident, and he was in a trance after being a little stimulated. My father took the doctor's advice and planned to send him to the rehabilitation hospital. I want to take it as slowly as possible, and let the fourth brother receive treatment at home under the pretext of not being able to contact a suitable hospital. ...and wait for the condition to improve before discussing punishment. What do you think?"

Speaking of business, Murong Xi put aside his miscellaneous thoughts and looked solemn.Although the fourth couple had never been on the same page with him, he was not the kind of person who would add insult to injury.With the aggressive and arrogant character of the fourth child, if he finds himself in a rehabilitation hospital after he recovers in the future, he may be stimulated to have another attack, and his life will be completely ruined at that time.

Although some of the women who were kidnapped by Murong Qi had been brought to the United States, they did not fall into the dust in the end.Focusing on this point, you can also make an exception, and you don't have to put him in a dead end.

The old man couldn't think of this in his anger, but Murong Xi couldn't help but think carefully.

"The fourth child is actually sick? Why don't you show him the evidence first as we discussed before, and let him take the initiative to ask his father to admit his mistake?"

Murong Xi explained with a wry smile: "I don't want to do this either, but my sister-in-law suddenly came to confront me, and I didn't have time to stop it."

Hearing this, Murong Shu frowned and said nothing.Murong Hui was taken aback: I thought only my uncle and I knew about this, but it seems that my father already knew about it.No wonder, who made him the boss, he is destined to need to worry about everything.

Murong Shu's trip here is partly to find his son, and partly for the fourth son's business.Now that he heard that his fourth brother had an accident, he couldn't care about anything else for a while.After asking some more details, they discussed with Murong Xi in a low voice.

Seeing that he had nothing to do with himself, Murong Hui rolled his eyes, quietly exited the study, and tiptoed to the attic.

Because the old man felt sorry for his eldest grandson who lost his mother when he was young, he took him to live here from time to time, so he also had his own room here, and piled up more odds and ends than at home.

Before returning home, he planned to send something to Yan You, but it was so old that he couldn't remember where he put it.When he entered the room, he rummaged through boxes and chests to find it.

He didn't sit on the edge of the bed in satisfaction until he made a mess of the tidy room, carefully holding the cardboard box in his hand: "Hey, I finally found you."

This is a gift he carefully made on his 16th birthday, but it is not for himself, but for his lover in the future.

I still remember that when he blew out the colored candles at that time, he ignored the booing of his friends and prayed devoutly, asking all the Taoists to show their magical powers and give him someone who can love and love for a lifetime.At that time, he will present his heart with the gift.

After two years, his wish finally came true.Now, it's time to make a vow.

Murong Hui was hugging the box and thinking about how to confess his love while laughing foolishly, when the door suddenly rang and was pushed open gently.

Seeing the person's face clearly, he groaned in his heart, and quickly kicked a collection of large-scale men's photo albums under the bed with sharp eyesight and quick hands. At the same time, he quickly confirmed that there was nothing on the surface of the room that should not be there, and then said dissatisfied: "Dad, you didn't knock on the door."

After finishing speaking, he realized that in just a second or two, he was covered in white sweat: it was a good luck that he didn't take out the videotape he secretly collected when he rummaged through the cabinet just now.Otherwise, he would never have left the United States alive just based on that restricted-rated cover.

Murong Shu ignored his son's complaints, and sat down on the edge of the bed: "How long are you going to stay this time?"

"Originally, I planned to go back after my fourth uncle's business was over. Professor Ying from the department is attending an academic conference in Guangzhou. It's very rare. I want to learn more from it."

Slickly pulling out the shield first, Murong Hui said hypocritically again: "Dad, it's such a pity (XING) regret (FU) that I didn't spend the summer vacation with you this year."

Murong Shu still didn't answer the question, he only raised his chin towards the thing in his son's arms: "This seems to be something you did before?"

Murong Hui turned pale with shock.He hasn't had time to open it yet, so he's not sure if there are other items inappropriate for children in it, for fear that his father will ask to see it on a whim.

Not caring about how his father knew what he was tinkering with, Murong Hui quickly put the box on the bedside table far away with a dry smile, and put on a look of indifference: "Well, take it out and wipe the dust. "

Murong Shu's eyes wandered for a moment, and he suddenly said without thinking: "Did you make any good friends when you returned to China this time?"

"There's one—one or two." Murong Hui was so full of thoughts that he just wanted to send his father away quickly, and almost slipped his mouth when he didn't pay attention.

"Oh." Murong Shu glanced at the box again, and there was a little bit of inexplicable emotion in his tone: "You have made up your mind since you were a child, so I don't worry. There is nothing wrong with choosing friends, what? The time is convenient, please invite him to the United States to have fun."

Murong Hui was taken aback by these words: This tone doesn't seem to be referring to ordinary friends, but daughter-in-law?But, Dad can't possibly know.I must be wrong, it must be.

So, he said with a haha, "Let's talk about it later."

Seeing that his son didn't take it seriously, Murong Shu didn't say anything else: "Just now I heard your uncle talk about your experience in China, and you handled this matter well. When you come back from studying abroad, come to the company to take care of the business with me Bar."

This is almost the default arrangement of the whole family. Although it was not stated explicitly, Murong Hui also planned this way before.But now when he mentions it again, he is a bit conflicted: "Dad, don't talk about how big our company is. It's nothing more than dozens of martial arts gyms and a few security companies. You are enough. I want to take advantage of my youth. Learn more. Business matters, let’s talk about it later.”

After all, he looked at his father nervously.

Murong Shu is easy to speak when it does not involve issues of principle and matters that have already been decided.But as long as these two points are touched, no matter how weak one's resistance is, he will be ruthlessly suppressed.

But for Yan You's sake, and for his own sake, he had to say something in advance.From the moment he realized that he fell in love with Yanyou, another person appeared in his life plan, and he could no longer only think about himself.The way to go in the future is decided by two people.

As for whether Yan You would agree to his pursuit, he didn't think about it for the time being.

He had already planned to argue with his father, and even thought of how to invite his uncle to make peace with him.But unexpectedly, Murong Shu didn't pursue it, but simply said: "Is that so, it's up to you."

Did it pass so easily?

Murong Hui was overjoyed, only to hear his father say again: "I've already discussed with your brother-in-law about the fourth uncle's matter, so you don't want to interfere any more. I'm going to the East Bank to fight for a project in the afternoon, and then you can arrange your own time. Spend more time with your grandfather, he doesn't say anything, but actually misses you very much."

"I will, Dad, be careful on the road and don't work too hard." When he heard that his father was leaving, Murong Hui was so happy that he wanted to cheer, but he had to try his best to act as if nothing had happened.

"Ah."

Murong Shu got up and straightened his suit, and suddenly thought of something, and reminded him: "You know the address of the ancestral house, right? This time when you return to China, take the time to take a look, and take care of the things in the secret room by the way."

He didn't say much, but Murong Hui knew that this was mostly to avoid similar rumors in the future, so his father let himself make a break.And in order to show that the family doesn't care about the so-called "treasures", I also entrusted myself to do it: let a younger generation take care of it, how valuable can that thing be?

This task fell right into Murong's heart, because he had already made up his mind about something: "Dad, can I handle everything by myself? Including the jade bib brought back by my great-grandfather?"

"As you please."

Murong Shu just heard about the origin of Yubi from the fifth younger brother, but he didn't pay much attention to it.Over the years, the traditional Chinese culture and handicrafts have been severely damaged. Back then, the great-grandfather couldn't find a master to repair it. Who else can we count on now?No matter how precious it is, a pile of fragments is just a pile of fragments, it is better to let the son mess around.

This thing may be worthless in the eyes of others, but it is a rare gift for Murong Hui: Xiaoyan loves to tinker with these ancient objects.The so-called do what he likes, send gifts to his heart, and Xiaoyan's favorability for him will definitely increase again and again.

Thinking of his pride, Murong was overjoyed: "Thank you, Dad!"

But he never noticed that Murong Shu looked at his silly son with helpless eyes.
