Rebirth - It turns out that you are none other than you

The first lantern

The old mansion of Qiao's family has been busy since early in the year. Regardless of what others think of the gathering every three months in a year, the old man of Qiao's family really regards it as a festival.

Maybe people like to be lively when they are old?Seeing a whole family of people chatting and laughing around him, Mrs. Qiao felt comfortable. Once he was comfortable, such gatherings changed from occasional to necessary. Who made the Qiao family feel comfortable? The person in power is Mr. Joe?He is good, and the whole Qiao family is good.

As the leader of the third generation of the Qiao family, heck, although he is only self-proclaimed for the time being, Qiao Sinan must be the first to arrive as the master, and then transform into the door god, and treat the eldest uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, etc. , and their children came in with a smile, how about it?Is it very similar to a certain profession?Selling laughter is not necessarily a skill that only the third-rate can possess.

Wearing a mask, what kind of modest and polite, gentlemanly, gentle and dignified, respecting the old and loving the young, all the adjectives thrown at him have been used to the extreme. Over time, even he himself began to doubt that maybe he was like that in the first place?

But really?Gentleman?If gentlemen are like me, I am afraid that the sages will cry down the rest of the Great Wall and continue to cry.

"Young master, my subordinates haven't handled some matters well, so I won't follow you in. You can leave." Qi Zeqi, who had been expressionless all day long, even his voice and demeanor were becoming more and more lifeless The assistant finally regained a bit of popularity after the night fell, but the look in his eyes still showed the taste of 'I want to destroy the world' after all.

'Ahem' curled up his finger and put it on his lips and gave a low cough to hide the urge to laugh out loud. It wasn't that Qiao Sinan liked to gloat, it was because he really couldn't sympathize with Qi Ze's experience.

Damn, who told you to find someone who is not good, but you want to find Zhang Zheng to stop drinking?It's not like you don't know how much that guy pours in half a cup, what's the matter?Now seeing other people's jokes fail, you're getting yourself hurt, right?It deserves it, this is called self-abuse.

It's rare to see Assistant Qi deflated, still so shockingly weeping, it's not my style if I don't rush to join in the fun.

"Young Master, Tian Bo is here to pick you up, please hurry up." His eyes kept sweeping across the smiling flower-like face of the old butler Tian Bo, his fists were clenched subconsciously, listening to the creaking sound Just a toothache.

But no matter how loud the creaking noise is, it can't stop some people's "sinister" thoughts. Seeing how happy Tian Bo is, he knows that his embarrassing "confession" incident must have reached the ears of the old man, and the same reason , the old man must know it clearly.

So, he was killed and he didn't want to enter Qiao's old house so soon. He would rather hide himself in the pile of gifts as a temporary custodian than become the object of everyone's onlookers. Gossip kills people~!He hates group hair! !

"Wait." Seeing that Qi Ze was about to run away, Qiao Sinan quickly grabbed the other's wrist, and before the old housekeeper came to him, he abducted him with earnest words, no, it was persuasion: " Qi Ze, you have to know that there are some things that you cannot hide from. After all, with the relationship between me and Amu, you still have a lot of contact with Zhang Zheng. You can't hide from people all your life, right? Besides, aren't you Tell me is it just a misunderstanding? Since it is a misunderstanding, resolve it as soon as possible and save worry, believe me, you can choose together, and facing it bravely is the root of solving the problem. So, please rush to Zhang Zheng and explain it, I fully support you. "

Qi Zemu squinted, young master, please hide your gossiping eyes when you want to fool others, thank you.

"Hey, young master, you are here. Come in quickly, the master has been waiting for you early in the morning." Tian Bo, who was in his 70s, was still blushing and out of breath when he trotted. They were too bright and squeezed together, their white front teeth dangling, making people dizzy.

Qi Ze's eyebrows twitched wildly several times. As a hard-working human being who has lived in the old house for many years, what he can't stand the most is Tian Bo's catchphrase with a strong local accent. The old man has no other hobbies, so just I like to talk to people about everyday life, a few words will come out in my throat, hey, your stomach hurts from being fed, no matter how much patience you have, you will be fed away, but you can’t walk away, that kind of pain, the past is unbearable Ahhh~ This is also the real reason why he has almost never gone to the Three Treasures Palace since he moved out of the old house. Do you understand that he is crying when he thinks about it?

Also, does the phrase 'waiting for you' mean god hair?Shouldn't the old man have to wait for someone older or younger?The word 'we' must not refer to me, right?right?I don't want to embarrass myself, can I?

Of course not, didn't you see that Qiao Sinan was tightly clasping Qi Ze's wrist?Just to prevent him from escaping.

"Uncle Tian, ​​your old body looks stronger than before, full of energy." The smile with crooked eyebrows, different from the habitual mask when seeing others, Qiao Sinan's smile at this time is special To be honest, for this weird old man who watched him grow up, in addition to respect, there is also a somewhat unconscious sense of closeness.

The reason why he was blamed was that when the weather was colder, Uncle Tian was more willing to eat cold food, and when the weather was hotter, he chose not to drink hot soup or hot water. The scheming and tricks were good, but it was a real big confusion. Calling someone to come to you to discuss the problem, a few words can brighten your eyes and benefit a lot, but if you turn your head and want to talk to him again, I'm sorry, people have long forgotten what you asked , the scum was not left behind.

Please note that the unimpressed ones are only confidential events, and life claims are completely out of scope.

It is said that there was a time when Grandpa and Tian Bo had just finished discussing several important confidential matters of the Qiao family, Tian Bo was robbed by someone openly, and that person was forced to have no choice but to make such a move with the determination to never stop. .

I thought that no matter how stubborn Uncle Tian was, he would be able to come up with some useful information when he was sentenced to death, right?But who knows that Tian Bo insisted on using his extraordinary memory system to subdue all the instruments of torture, and he didn't ask anything.

This incident caused a great sensation in that year, and since then Tian Bo has a famous nickname of "Forget God Number", which has lasted for a long time.

Fortunately, although Tian Bo's ability to remember things is terrible, his ability to remember people is surprisingly good. He can also recite the list of people from several generations of his ancestors who he met once 800 years ago. Grandpa hired a special person to equip Tian Bo with a small recorder to remind him of what he was going to do that day at any time. In an instant, the defective product turned around magnificently and became a radiant and omnipotent deacon.

Many people said that if Qiao Libang (referring to Mrs. Qiao) did not have Tian Bo by his side, the Qiao family would definitely not be the current Qiao family.

It can be seen from this that although Tian Bo is just an old butler, his status is definitely not lower than that of any master of the Qiao family. Even Qiao Guohua respectfully calls him Uncle Tian when he sees him, and dare not slack off in the slightest.

"Hey, it's better for the young master to be eloquent. I said it straight to my heart. It's sweeter than eating sugar." He said, winking and smiling at Qi Ze, "Oh, little Qi Ze, what are you doing?" Don't talk when you see Uncle Tian? Who made you angry? Tell Uncle Tian, ​​no matter who he is, even if he is someone who admires the young master, Uncle Tian will not let him go." He opened his mouth in an angry manner, with eyes in his eyes The teasing smile was so thick that it couldn't be melted away. Uncle Tian liked watching jokes the most.

Of course, it would be even better if it wasn't Zhang Zheng who had the scandal with little Qi Ze. That kid belongs to Master Huaimu, and it's not a good thing that the eldest master's assistant and Master Huaimu's assistant are unclear. Last night, master He once lost his temper because of Qi Ze's scandal, but at least he was persuaded by himself, but he was still depressed for a long time, waiting for today's face-to-face interrogation.

Of course, he was not afraid that Qi Ze would not be able to withstand the interrogation. He still knew this kid's nature very well. Don't let Qi Ze betray even a hundred or a thousand of them, let alone Zhang Zheng.

He was only afraid that the master's trial would hurt the young master's face. After all, Qi Ze is the young master's confidant. If Qi Ze is disgraced, how can the young master be honored?On the other hand, it's okay for Zhang Zheng to be punished, he looks strong and resistant.

People's hearts are inherently biased, just like the head of the family is partial to Master Huaimu, he is destined to be biased towards the elder and younger since his birth, this is also called nature, understand?

Qi Ze kept his face blank again and didn't say a word. He knew that it would be good if he came to the old house today. Will everyone die if they don't read his jokes? !

Tian Bo was a little disappointed that he didn't get an answer from Qi Ze, but thinking that there was still a night to tease the cute junior, Tian Bo became excited again.

So he took Qi Ze's hand affectionately, and made a gesture of invitation to Qiao Sinan. With a smile on his face, Tian Bo followed Qiao Sinan briskly and slowly walked towards the main building. go.

This is another reason why Qiao's family looked up to Uncle Tian even more. No matter how old he is or how qualified he is, Uncle Tian is still the same as he used to be. He is kind but will not cross the bottom line. There is nothing wrong with his professional ethics. I can't find it out. In his words, the old man is not a monkey, so he can't learn to put his nose on his face.

The main building has five floors. The appearance is typical of the period of the Republic of China. It is strong and beautiful. Especially when the colorful lights dotted around the building are lit, it is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

With Qi Ze, who was seriously ill, and the old butler with a chrysanthemum face, he walked quickly into the lobby of the main building. When he raised his eyes, Qiao Sinan saw the old man Qiao sitting on the sofa.

The old man is dressed in a royal blue Tang suit, reflecting his well-maintained skin. He doesn't look like a man who is about to be seventy. If he insists on saying something, he can probably tell from the faint aura emanating from the old man. How much of the vicissitudes of life he has experienced?

"Grandpa." Controlling his breath, he slowly walked up to Mrs. Qiao, and Qiao Sinan knelt down slowly｜He looked at the elder who had been away for more than ten years with all kinds of emotions in his body.

It's been many days since he came back, and it's not that he didn't have time to re-enter the gate of the old house until today, but just...he didn't know how to face this old man who should be closest to him.

Indeed, Grandpa regards him as the only heir of the Qiao family, and spends all his efforts and energy on him. Without Grandpa's support and cultivation, there would be no growth for him in the future.

But it is precisely this old man who gave him supreme glory, taught him knowledge and culture, and wanted to hold him in the palm of his hand after he lost his mother's love and father's love in his childhood, but chose to give up on him time and time again.

In Grandpa's eyes, the heir is important, but not as important as the entire Qiao family. That's why he sacrificed him immediately when he had a scandal with Amu.

He admitted that what his grandfather did at that time was indeed the most effective and the least costly, but had he ever thought about how he would survive after being sacrificed like that?

He is a man, he was raped by another man but he couldn't beat him back, he couldn't even scold him twice, even the closest and most trusted elders stood on the opposite side of him, asking how he could stand this repeated torture hit?It is the kindness of God that he didn't go crazy when he was imprisoned in the ancestral hall. Who would have the heart to treat his little resentment harshly?

He was so disheartened that he abused himself crazily during the three years he left, murdered and set fire to eat raw meat, what disgusting and dangerous things did he do, he passed death several times but could not exchange for him A frown, what is death?If you can't live upright, if you can't trample on those who trample on your dignity, living is better than dead.

More than three years passed in the shadow of swords and blood. When he received the notice from his grandfather that he could go back, even he himself thought that he had lost his heart.

But Grandpa gave up again, abruptly tearing up all his disguises. It turns out that my heart still hurts. It turns out that I don't really care about family affection, but I mistakenly regard numbness as nothingness.

With the second injury, he ran away, and they didn't meet again until his grandfather died half a year later.

He remembered that his grandfather looked at him quietly with guilty and sad eyes, and asked him weakly if he had ever hated him, but he remained silent and did not answer, until his grandfather swallowed his last breath and did not utter a sound.

Of course he hates it, but it's not grandpa who hates it. He and grandpa stand on different positions. From the perspective of grandpa, what he did is not wrong. It is appropriate to sacrifice only one heir to preserve the glory of the Qiao family. He doesn't hate Qiao Munan either, they are rivals, destroying him is equivalent to getting the Qiao family, why not do it?

He hates no one but hates himself for not living up to expectations. As an heir, he is not ruthless enough. It is a mistake. After being hit, he did not keep a calm mind and act impulsively. It was a mistake to be behind him, and it was a mistake to look at human nature too simply and think that everyone kept the offline and integrity.

Look, he made so many mistakes, how could he be undefeated?

But no matter how clearly he thinks, he can't forgive his grandfather's coldness. Maybe, like his grandfather, he only thinks about his own interests?Should I say that I am worthy of being the seed of the Qiao family?

"What's wrong with Xiao Nan? You're in a bad mood? Why are you so thin? Qi Ze, how do you take care of Xiao Nan?" Pulling Qiao Sinan to sit next to him, Mrs. Qiao glared angrily at the silent Qi Ze, The grandson didn't tell him when he was sick. Does that mean he didn't take what he said to heart?

"Grandpa, don't blame Qi Ze. I just haven't had a good rest these days. It's normal to be thinner." Concentrating his mixed thoughts, he smiled softly. No matter what, Grandpa still really loves him, and he can't do it. There is no need to make the relationship too tense since the relationship between the two will not be done. This time, he chose to take care of the old man's pension in a plain way, forgetting the regrets of his grandfather before he left.

"Really? It's good if you don't get sick. What grandpa is most afraid of is that you young people don't know how to take care of your body. You will regret it when you get old." Lovingly rubbing Qiao Sinan's hair, the old man Qiao said After talking for a while, he let go of Qiao Sinan's ears, turned his head and waved to Qi Ze, who was obviously wandering, "Qi Ze, come here."

"Hi, old lady." Qi Ze stepped forward obediently, and Qi Ze was more respectful than ever.

He wasn't stupid, he could tell from the old man's anger just now that he was probably a member of the blacklist in the old man's heart at this time, and he might have to go home and eat himself if he failed.

"What's the matter with you and Zhang Zheng?" Half-closed his eyes, he rushed towards Qi Ze with a calm and powerful aura. This man was chosen by him as Xiao Nan's right-hand man. If he can't be with Xiao Nan, what's the use of keeping him?

Grandpa actually made a murderous move?Just because of a mere video?Even though he had seen Grandpa's cold side long ago, Qiao Sinan couldn't help but feel chilled.

It hasn't changed at all. For Grandpa, people, like objects, have been divided into countless levels as early as the very beginning.

For example, in the previous life, the Qiao family was more important than Qiao Sinan, so Qiao Sinan could be sacrificed for the sake of the Qiao family. For example, now, Qi Ze is not as important as Qiao Sinan, so it is not a pity to kill Qi Ze because of Qi Ze's possible betrayal. ?

It turns out that everyone is the same, whether they are blood relatives or the most favored juniors, when they do not touch the rules set by grandpa, they can make trouble at will. If there is a conflict of rules, Grandpa will always have only one choice, abandoning the weakest and doing his best to maximize the benefits, this is the law of the jungle.

In my previous life, I ended up failing again and again just because I couldn't be that rational. Even in this life, I'm not destined to be a perfect winner, right?Because there is a person in my heart who I can't let go of.

When there was silence in the square hall, the appearance of a servant broke the dignified atmosphere, "Old Master, the Great Master has arrived."

"Brother? Why did he come so early?" Mrs. Qiao looked at the sky outside in surprise, and then realized that it was getting late, "Forget it, we will talk about Qi Ze's affairs after everyone has left, Xiao Nan , you and Qi Ze go to the door to meet your uncle, he has bad legs and eyesight, so be careful not to fall."

After listening to the words, Qiao Sinan's eyes were full of sneering, bad legs and feet?Who was the old guy who jumped up and stomped on his broken leg?Bad eyesight?When the uncle counted the money, he didn't even carry a penny.

"Let's go, Qi Ze, follow me to meet uncle."
