Chapter 948: A Family Banquet (1)
said that it was a day, and sure enough, it didn't deviate too much, and after about a day, Liu Heng felt that the treasure car was slowly slowing down. This time, there was no need for Liu Heng to do it himself, Yu Wuregret picked up the curtain first, and smiled at Liu Heng: "Son, look, the front is my Liu family's house." ”
Finally able to see the scenery outside the car, Liu Heng was not in a hurry to look at the mansion in front of him, and Yu Guang paid attention to the surroundings first. I don't know what place it is, but it looks like a valley far away from the people, surrounded by lush vegetation and babbling streams, like a paradise.
And that mansion is hidden deep in the valley, and it can be reached by a bluestone path.
On this way, there are few pedestrians, sometimes I see people coming in and out, always all kinds of treasure cars or spirit birds and beasts, there are a large number of followers to follow, the momentum is huge, and it is rare to see a lone wanderer.
Whether it was riding in a treasure car or a spirit beast, the people on it would show a look of surprise when they saw the treasure car that Liu Heng was riding, and then slowly stopped. It's just that after seeing that Liu Heng was sitting in the car, these people were much the same, and they would immediately put away the smiles that had not yet had time to fully bloom, and kept looking at Liu Heng with surprise.
This is obviously very wrong, Liu Heng looked suspicious, but Yu Wuregret next to him didn't look like someone who would answer for him, so Liu Heng didn't even bother to ask.
"Isn't this Deacon Yu?"
Halfway through the journey, someone seemed to recognize Yu Wuregret and came forward to greet him with a smile.
"I didn't expect to meet the householder, Yu has seen the household. Seeing the visitor, Yu Wuregret immediately stood up and saluted, and said politely.
"Deacon Yu always sees the outside like this. The person who came smiled helplessly, and then deliberately looked curious, "I don't know who this distinguished guest is, he needs the eldest brother's car to accompany Deacon Yu in person, can Deacon Yu recommend one or two on his behalf?"
Big brother car?
Liu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally understood why he had received such unusual attention.
"Don't you think this is a little familiar?" Yu Wuregret hinted with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Let's introduce it solemnly, this is the first Fengguo general in the DPRK, Wan Yu Wei Lieutenant, and General Jin Laijin is also." ”
After that, he said warmly to Liu Heng: "General Jin, look, this is the son of Liu Huhu in the line of Yiyun Marquis in Yicheng, Huzhou. ”
"Kim?"
Liu Hu muttered and repeated the name, and gradually showed a strange and wonderful expression, and looked at Liu Heng more and more carefully, "It turned out to be you." ”
Liu Heng looked at him calmly and didn't say a word.
Yu Wuregret put away an increasingly meaningful smile, and hugged his fist at Liu Hu and said: "I'm sorry Gongzi Hu, I have something important to do today, and I have to rush to the mansion, we can only talk about it another day." ”
"Oh, good!" Liu Hu woke up suddenly, and said busily: "Let's talk about it another day, talk about it another day!"
The two sides were separated, and he was stunned to see the back of the treasure car go away, still a little dazed, but there were already curious people surrounding him, and he kept asking.
And Liu Heng, who was sitting in the treasure car, soon heard an uproar from behind the car.
"Childe is not strange, it is really that Childe has made a great reputation over the years, and he is from his own family, but he has never returned to the family house, and he has never interacted with his family, so he ......" Yu Wuregret smiled and said: "Childe, I am afraid that I don't even know how famous you are among the clansmen." ”
Liu Heng glanced at him, "Didn't you call the general just now, why did you turn your head and call the son again?"
Yu Wuregret suffocated, and then squeezed out a smile, "Why should the son be embarrassed?"
After that, he turned his head and didn't talk to Liu Heng again, only blaming Liu Heng for speaking too chokingly, and didn't leave anyone any face at all. Anyway, Liu Heng is also a son of the Liu family, if he is accused of humiliating a Liu family son in the Liu family's mansion, even the son behind him may not protect him, so it is best not to say this.
When he came to the door of the house, the door was already open, and Yu Wuregret got out of the car first, and then bowed to Liu Heng, "Son, please." ”
The door plaque is the quaint word "Liu Fu", and under the door are two rows of people standing on both sides, and in addition, I haven't seen anything more. It is said that it is a house, the door is ten zhang high, the wall is also ten zhang high, the specifications are no less than some small cities, its thickness and texture may still be excessive, once attacked, it is estimated that it will soon be able to transform into a solid fortress.
The main house of the great family that has been handed down for hundreds of years is really not to be underestimated, and if you go in, it will be difficult to break out.
But Liu Heng's expression was calm, and he still walked over calmly.
"I've seen Heng Gongzi. ”
It seems that after coming here, the Liu family no longer had the intention of continuing to hide it, and the two rows of people stood up and saluted in unison. Hearing this chorus, there was another commotion behind Liu Heng, Liu Heng glanced back, and the young ladies who met on the road all gathered together and followed, and now they looked at him with different expressions.
"Lead the way. Liu Heng didn't say anything, but said lightly to Yu Wuregret.
Yu Wuregret really bowed in front of him to lead the way, and while guiding Liu Heng into the house, he whispered: "Don't blame the son, the head of the family and his wife have something to do, and the eldest son is already running outside, otherwise he will definitely come to the door to greet the son." ”
Got something to do?
said as if no one had anything to do, forcing him to come all the way over, and to come to such a dismount, it was inevitable that Liu Heng would be surprised, "I am also in military affairs, at most I only have two days of leisure, if it is over, I can only leave." ”
Yu Wuregret raised his eyebrows, knowing that this was Liu Heng's counterattack, but he didn't dare to talk anymore, because this was no longer something he could answer.
From the side corridor through the main hall, and constantly passing through the courtyards and pavilions, in Liu Heng's opinion, this place is not much different from many large families that have been handed down for hundreds of years, at most the slight end is more elegant, but it can't make him move in the slightest.
He came from this great family, but since the dawn of time, he never knew that this place existed. I heard that he is a member of the main family, his grandfather is the first head of the family, his father is the current head of the family, and the eldest brother is the eldest son, if there is no accident, he will also be the heir to the head of the family in the future. But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to have much to do with him, because he's just an outcast.
His biological mother, married to the head of the Liu family as a concubine, died shortly after giving birth to him. Now the so-called mother, who is the wife of the head of the Liu family, and the daughter of another well-connected family, gave birth to his eldest brother who has never met, but he has no blood relationship with him. If he has any connection with this mansion and this big family, it is that he has a trace of blood with his father, who is the former head of the family, that cannot be erased no matter what, and other than that, there is nothing to do with it.
On the contrary, in the years of the Liu family's seclusion, he was sent out as a baby, and regardless of his background or talent, he was destined to become the best abandoned son, and let the enemy attack and vent his anger. Such a relationship has made Liu Heng suffer all kinds of dangers in vain, which is enough to erase the last bit of family affection, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an enemy.
Who is born to be an outcast?
It is estimated that in the Liu family's strategy, Liu Heng should die at the hands of the Liu family's enemies, and that is the result they want. However, Liu Heng's life was too hard, not only did he die as they wished, but he tossed out a first Fengguo general, a ten-day city, and a Wan Yuwei with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. It's just a matter of paying it back on weekdays, but the battle for the prince is coming, and in the eyes of the Liu family, it has become a piece of fat on the side of the mouth, and there is an urgent need to get it. The Liu family estimated that they could easily get it, but he, an outcast, seemed to be very uninteresting, so he had to let the Liu family use more means, otherwise how could Liu Heng make this trip?
Who would have thought that there would be a chance meeting and a day today?
Not to mention that the Liu family didn't expect it, even Liu Heng himself didn't expect it, both sides thought that there would be no more contact in this life, and they would go their own way, who would want to let Liu Heng step into this mansion after all.
Is it better to come hard or soft, or is it a combination of hard and soft?
Has the Liu family figured out what method to use to deal with Liu Heng?
Liu Heng thought a little playfully, and Yu Wuregret took Liu Heng to a room that seemed to be a reception hall, instructed his subordinates to serve tea, and said with a smile: "It's not a good luck for the prince to come back, and it depends on when the eldest prince can come back, or when the head of the family and his wife can finish today's business, so that they can have time to entertain the son." The son waited a while, and then went to instruct the subordinates to prepare the house, and at the same time informed the master, the lady and the eldest son. ”
After saying that, he bowed down and clenched his fists, and retreated with a salute, Liu Heng looked at it coldly and did not stop it.
It seems that this is going to dry him first, but Liu Heng has the patience to wait for two days at most, but let the Liu family think about it themselves. Thinking that the Liu family should know something about him, he has always said that he will only wait for two days, and if it is outdated, it will not wait, and now it is up to the Liu family to decide.
Especially now, it is the Liu family who has something to ask for, Liu Heng is naturally not in a hurry at all, and quietly drinks tea and waits. Although no matter whether it was for the sake of face or dissatisfied with his "disrespect", Liu Heng estimated that the first day was so wasted, and he would not wait for anyone to come, so he was still indifferent.
"You are Liu Heng?"
After waiting for a while, a large group of young ladies rushed in and surrounded Liu Heng, looking at Liu Heng with surprise, disdain or incomprehensibility, and someone shouted and asked.
Liu Heng glanced up at them again, and continued to drink tea slowly, without making any response.
This made the person who spoke out feel humiliated, and shouted again with an angry face: "It's nothing more than a disobedient son, what is arrogant?"
"This is the Hou Shizi of Zhangzhou Yun'an City Shuizhang, how dare you be so rude?" Someone immediately said and continued to shout at Liu Heng: "Do you think that if you make a name, you really treat yourself as a dish? Don't forget that even if you are the first Fengguo general, when you see the prince of Houmen, you also have to bow your head and salute!"
Liu Heng finally raised his head again, who wanted to wait for everyone to show their color, he said indifferently: "More than 20 years ago, there was a Shui Zhanghou, but today looking at the list of the sect, I have never seen the name of Shui Zhanghou again." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence for a moment, and countless eyes stared at Liu Heng in shock.
That Shui Zhang Hou Shizi's face turned red in an instant, as if he was angry and angry, "You, you!"
Liu Heng's words can be said to have hit a backstab in the Liu family now.
I heard that last time, the Liu family also participated in the battle for the crown prince, but when they met the current Kaiping Emperor, they naturally lost a lot. This can be described as a defeat, success or failure is certain, the general trend of the Nuo Da Liu family has gone, and they have to hide again. The result of the hidden world is to admit defeat, and in order to save most of the strength, you have to ruthlessly give up many things, which cannot be saved at all in front of the enemies who beat the water dogs. For example, when the Liu family was once prominent, it was rumored that there were hundreds of princes and marquis, and the family was full of Zhu Gui, but now only the main family is left and there is still a title of Zhu Yangong, and the princes and marquis of the whole family have long been wiped out by the enemies one by one.
This is the embarrassing status quo of the Liu family.
In fact, not only this time, the Liu family participated in the battle for the prince again and again, and was defeated repeatedly, and every time they were defeated, they had to turn into dormant, giving up many titles and wealth to preserve the fundamentals, and then slowly recovered over the years, such ups and downs, it can be said that the Liu family has long been used to it.
In their opinion, the former glory and wealth are only temporarily abandoned, and they will eventually return, because they still maintain the old name in the family, and there is no change. This is the habit of the whole family, but I don't think it's weird, but today's Liu Heng's words broke through the embarrassment.
"Don't be rampant!" Someone came to the aid of Shui Zhanghou Shizi, and shouted angrily at Liu Heng: "Today you are as fast as you want, and when you can stay in the future, I will come to the door in person to see how you bow your head and make amends!"
Liu Heng smiled, "Why wait for the coming day, today you wait for the common people to shout at the court generals, it is already a crime of disrespect, why don't you quickly bow your head and admit your mistake?"
"You!"
The crowd was choked by Liu Heng's words again, their faces turned blue and red, and they were so angry that they didn't know what to say for a while.
These people from all over the family shook their heads in their hearts, even the fighting power was so worrying, how good could Liu Heng give it?
"Hey, hey, everyone. Someone finally came out to play the round, "It's all your own family, why bother making a fuss, you don't have to make jokes, you have to put away your anger, talk well." ”
"Brother Yi'er, let's talk about it!" One person turned his head and complained to this man: "If it weren't for their master's family saying that this success is very great, and they want to protect his eldest brother, we should have regained our old glory a long time ago, and this guy is still humiliating me with this, what do you say this is called?"
"Yes, yes!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted countless echoes, which shows that most people are already dissatisfied with this matter on weekdays.
"What do you mean?" At this time, someone also frowned and asked, "Brother Yong'er's talent, you haven't seen it, far beyond the ancestors of the past generations, who dares to say that he is not the most hopeful person?"
Later, another person said: "This matter is a big plan that all the parents and generations gathered together and decided together, how can we complain? Besides, if you want to look at the future, at most in a few years, when Brother Yong'er becomes a great treasure, what are you worried about not coming back?"
"Wouldn't it be better if we didn't just get back what we lost before, but we'll only go to the next level in the future?" a woman reproached, "It's only a few years left, don't you even have the patience for that?"
At this moment, everyone stopped talking, but showed a look of shame, and someone said curtly: "This is not this ...... of talking"
"Of course!"
Without waiting for this person to blame Liu Heng again, the woman had already interrupted loudly and smiled at Liu Heng, "Brother Heng'er is helping Brother Yong'er now, Brother Yong'er will naturally repay it a hundred times in the future, if he dares to treat Brother Heng'er lightly, isn't he afraid of me and the cold?" Brother Heng'er, do you think it's such a reason?"
