Chapter 92: The Old Lady of the Ruined Hou Mansion (End)
Nursing Home
Wen Qilian, Xiao Shi, and Wen Duo were arguing in the lobby of the main house, the main object of the quarrel was Wen Qilian's grandson, and Xiao was mostly persuading Wen Duo on the side, persuading Wen Duo not to continue to fight.
Qiao Mu was in the side yard, and he heard their quarrel from a distance, and at this time he was walking slowly to this side with a cane, and walked for about five minutes, before entering the lobby, and at the same time heard the content of their quarrel clearly, the main content was that Wen Duo wanted to leave home and go to Nanyang to continue to work hard, and Wen Qilian resolutely disagreed.
Wen Qilian saw Qiao Mu come in, as if he had found the backbone, and hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Mother, look at your great-grandson, he has already been admitted to the Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy, but two days ago, he retreated from the Hanlin Academy so silently, and he was not squeezed back by others, but voluntarily.
It's just a matter of coming back, the family still has a title for him to inherit, and there is no shortage of food for him, but he still wants to go to Nanyang, just tell me, isn't this fooling around?
What are you doing in Nanyang, Nanyang has been in chaos in recent years, don't you know, there is a force called the Sea Dragon King, the expansion has been great in the past ten years, I heard that there are several small countries in the South Seas that have been wiped out by the power of the Sea Dragon King, although now the Sea Dragon King has not yet established the country, it can be estimated that it is not far away.
Tell me, it's so messy over there, what is he running over there with nothing to do, isn't this nonsense? ”
"Great-grandmother, I am ......"
Wen Duo hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.
Qiao Mu raised his hand and pressed it, and said with a smile:
"You don't have to explain anything, I can generally understand your thoughts, there is a lot of power over there, and if you don't press it personally, you're a little worried, right?
Don't worry about your grandfather, even if he is your grandfather, that's my son, do whatever you want, don't take advantage of your youth to break through, is it possible that he is still like your grandfather, and there is nothing to achieve when he is seventy or eighty, but you can go to Nanyang, but you have to bring all the people I sent to you, and you have to pay attention to safety, you know?
More than ten years ago, the forces over there were still very obedient, and I could guarantee that there would never be any chaos, let alone any rebellion, but more than ten years have passed, and I have not found time to go there specifically, so I am not sure about the specific situation over there, and whether those people are really as loyal as ever, so if you go, everything has to be careful, and it is important to take care of your health. ”
"Mother, what you said, no, why did you still agree, no, why don't I understand what you said?"
Wen Qilian first wanted to refute his mother's words that he was useless, but in an instant he clarified the meaning of Qiao Mu's words, and was a little incredulous, how could he listen to her mother's meaning, what other big forces did his mother have left to his eldest grandson in Nanyang?
"The Sea Dragon King you are talking about, is the force I founded back then, originally mainly in the sea trade business, but the sea trade business was supposed to deal with pirates and other forces, so by the way, it also developed some armed forces, after the development of the past 20 years, the force is also good, now I am also old, I don't have much energy to care about the affairs over there, Duo'er is also an adult, so he handed over all the forces to him, and now he wants to go to Nanyang, just to formalize the forces over there and completely control his own hands.
Don't worry about it, let him go. ”
Because Wen Qilian has quit drinking since her leg was discounted last time, and she has also quit the bad habit of talking nonsense, and she has not committed it for more than 20 years, so Qiao Mu is still more at ease with him now, so she didn't hide the news, and she said it very bluntly that she had hidden it for decades.
After listening to his mother's words, Wen Qilian was dumbfounded, and the takeaway suffered a huge blow, and the stunned place was naturally that the legendary Sea Dragon King force was actually founded by his mother, and the huge blow suffered was that his mother had made such a big force, and she didn't even reveal any news to him, and even his grandson had already controlled this force, and he didn't know anything about it.
This difference in treatment can't help but make him doubt whether he is his own or not.
"Mother, you're so unfair, I don't even know any news about this, I ......"
"What are you, do you think you have the ability to control a force, you don't even use the people left by your father to you, not to mention such a big force, people have to be a little self-aware.
That's it.
Duo'er, when you go over there and make sure that there is no danger over there, remember to come back and pick me up, I've been in this capital for decades, and I'm tired of it, just while I can still move now, I can go out and have fun, if it is more than ten or twenty years, I'm afraid I want to go and have a weak heart, don't forget! ”
After glaring at his son, Qiao Mu hurriedly turned his head again and said to his great-grandson with a smile.
"Great-grandmother, I will.
Grandfather and grandmother, please forgive the child for being unfilial, I will go now, and I will try to rush back before the New Year. ”
Wen Duo seemed to be afraid that there would be some more moths to prevent him from going to the South Seas, so after nodding his head on Qiao Mu's side, he immediately hurriedly bowed to his grandfather, grandmother and great-grandmother, and then quickly left.
Wen Qilian wanted to say something, but was stunned by Qiao Mu's eyes, and finally could only open his mouth and say pay attention to safety.
Over the years, there have been some dangers in the process, there have been some rebellions, and some splits, but the more than ten years of teaching of the famous teacher is not in vain, although Wen Duo also had some doubts, a trace of retreat, but in the end he still survived, completely controlled all the forces in Nanyang within two years, and expanded his power several times in five years, radiating the countries of Nanyang.
At this time, because of the repeated uprisings, riots and rebellions in the country for more than ten years, the treasury and the emperor's private treasury have long been empty, as mentioned earlier, money is an extremely important thing for people, or for the country and the government, people will go bankrupt if they have no money, and the country will go bankrupt if they have no money, and the impact of financial bankruptcy is far greater than the impact caused by one person and several people without money, and the most striking point is that the soldiers will riot if they do not receive silver food.
The dynasty has completely entered a state of collapse.
Three years later, the rebels from all over the country successfully broke through the capital, and a new round of competition began in the capital, and the battle for the hidden dragon began.
However, at this time, Qiao Mu and his family had already sensed that something was wrong, and quickly dragged the family with them, and took the in-laws of the family slaves and children and grandchildren all the way to Nanyang.
Make a home there.
