The Shen family does not have the rule of having the whole family get together to eat together. After all, everyone is busy and seldom can get together, and now it’s no better than the old ones, except for the older and younger grandmothers, all work outside, so they usually eat their own meals. of.

But now it's the Chinese New Year, everyone is idle at home, so they gather to eat together.

Shen's family was all here, plus there were nearly 20 children, and one table obviously couldn't fit. The old lady made a speech. The men sat at the same table and the women sat at the same table. This man and woman even had children.

Shen Qi is holding his youngest nephew, Doujin, who knows that this nickname belongs to the third family of Shen's family. The nickname he gave to his eldest son is even more vulgar, called "Fugui", which is often complained by others.

Zhao Huaiyu sat beside him, looking like a shy, well-behaved, and sensible child that adults like most.

Shen Qi didn't bother to expose him. Anyway, when he took him to meet with President Shen in the afternoon, he looked like this. Actually, this is not an exaggeration. After all, the elders like their children to be friends with a sensible, three-good student.

At least the older wife liked Zhao Huaiyu's appearance very much. She took his hand and talked about it for a long time. There is no way to let the children in the family be smarter and stronger than the other. The last time Hu Xiaobao has made these women rare, Zhao Huaiyu has been rare for several years. The acting skills are carved into the bone marrow and superb, pretending to be a soft and well-behaved little white flower, which does not violate the slightest.

When everyone was seated, Shen Qi put Doujin on the children's chair between him and Zhao Huaiyu. Doujin was two years old, inherited from the Shen family's wisdom and early wisdom, and could already hold a small spoon to eat.

Shen Qi took care of Doujin while eating by himself, helping him put some edible dishes into the bowl, moving skillfully and appropriately, putting down the bowl, and after a glimpse, he saw Zhao Huaiyu's gaze, as if he was looking at something rare , Very strange appearance.

He raised his eyebrows, put a chopstick of braised pork into Zhao Huaiyu's bowl, and ordered his chin: eat.

Zhao Huaiyu quickly retracted his gaze, lowered his head with a hint of panic.

Shen Qi found it interesting, and gave him one after another, Zhao Huaiyu kept his head down, as if to bury himself in the bowl.

This look is called Shen Qi. This is the first time that the wolf cub did not dare to look at him directly. He immediately became interested and said, "Why? Don't you like these dishes?" He used Grandma Wolf to seduce him. The child's tone, "Tell me what you like, and I'll help you clip it."

Zhao Huaiyu did not dare to look up, for fear of revealing his thoughts.

The appearance of the Seventh Young Master reminded him of the words "good wife and loving mother". This idea must never be let him know. Once he is seen, the consequences will be very serious!

It is rare for Shen Qi to see Zhao Huaiyu showing this quail appearance in front of him. It is not the kind of pretended panic. After the novelty, he was teasing and kept picking food for him: "Do you like this? How about this? Try this, and this……"

The eldest wife Yu Guang glanced over and frowned, "Old Qi, don't bully Huaiyu, Huaiyu, ignore him, and eat you at ease."

Shen Qi was speechless immediately: "Where did I bully him, I just helped him pick up vegetables."

The old lady squinted at him: "I don't know you yet. Just go out to bully and bully others. You're still fooling around at home and you are timid. Take care of him as your brother, don't scare him."

"I..." Shen Qi met the gloating eyes of Daddy Shen and a few brothers, and could not speak.

Zhao Huaiyu turned his head to look at the eldest wife, and Ai Ai said, "Auntie misunderstood, Young Master Seven did not bully me..." He glanced at Shen Qi carefully and quickly, "Really."

The eldest wife gave Shen Qi a look that I understand, and she glared at Shen Qi: "Look at Huaiyu's more sensible, and still speak for you, you are still a brother, you are ashamed, and you will take more care of Huaiyu in the future. So is Huai Yu. If you want Old Seven to bully you in the future, you will come to me and I will help you clean him up!"

Shen Qi:...

Who is the mother?

Before you finish complaining, listen to the prompt tone: "Happiness +1."

Shen Qi:...

Young Master Shen Qi was very angry, and the consequences were serious. After eating, he left the restaurant. He didn't even look at Zhao Huaiyu. He put on his coat and headed toward his yard.

Zhao Huaiyu didn't care either, he seemed to be in a very good mood, and he followed briskly.

Along the way, the street lights were bright, reflecting the shadows of two people. In a quiet space, they overlapped for a while and separated. Zhao Huaiyu looked down, and a strange emotion suddenly rose in his heart, as if he had just been maintained by the old lady, but there was different.

He turned around and stretched out his hand, the shadow under his feet also stretched out his hand, and easily caught the shadow in his hand.

Want.

A vague thought came up in his mind, even though he didn't quite understand what he wanted, he just wanted it.

Maybe want to stay here and have a lively meal with Lele, or want to stay with Young Master Shen Qi, get appreciation and promotion, and don’t have to go back to Zhao’s house to live the days when the servants are inferior, and don’t worry about his wife and those aunts. His bad intentions, anyway, want.

But how to keep it?

Zhao Huaiyu, who had been losing since he was a child, was at a loss for a moment. Fortunately, he was very smart and soon had an idea in his heart.

Shen Qi did not expect that the short distance would make the wolf cub think so much. He was indeed angry and depressed. The absolute prestige he had built up in front of the wolf cub was pierced by his own mother. not angry.

And also let the wolf cub read the joke.

Thinking of the happiness value +1, he sneered and walked in and said directly to Shen An, "Take Zhao Si to the guest room, the one downstairs."

Then, without looking at Zhao Huaiyu, he went up to the second floor.

After entering the bedroom and taking a shower, I regretted it again. It was not that I regretted sending the wolf cub away, but that I regretted my impulsiveness just now.

He picked up the brush and wrote a scripture silently, and soon my mood calmed down.

Well, he is a man who wants to do big things in this world. He must be calm and restrained, and he must not change his face even when Mount Tai collapses.

Color is emptiness, and emptiness is color.

Self-hypnosis consolidated the personality, and Shen Qi turned off the lights to sleep peacefully.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, it is customary to sacrifice to the ancestral shrine. The Shen family follows the old custom, offering sacrifices in the afternoon and a set of procedures until the evening.

So since got up in the morning, the whole house was busy and full of enthusiasm. The Shen family's ancestral hall was naturally not here. In the southern home, as President Shen is now, it is naturally impossible to travel all the way back to his hometown to worship the ancestors, in case there is an assassination on the way. Who is responsible? This kind of thing has not happened. In the early days of the establishment of the Republic of China, President Hua was often assassinated by people sent by various parties and even countries.

So it was temporarily rebuilt in the Xinhua Palace for ancestor worship. Interestingly, this ancestral hall not only contains the ancestors of the Shen family, but also the tablets of the ancestors of the Chinese family. According to President Hua, his parents died early. An orphan, thanks to President Shen's help in his early years, he could go to school with peace of mind. He and President Shen became brothers. Both are a family and worship their ancestors together.

At that time, President Jia was a member of the capital, and the ancestral hall was in the capital. Naturally, there was no need to move the memorial tablet to come in. So in the ancestral hall of the Xinhua Palace, there were only the ancestors of the Shen Hua family.

Shen Qi felt that if he hadn't personally seen President Hua treat his wife and concubine around him well, he would have doubted whether he had a crush on his father. To be honest, there are actually quite a few people who speculate like this in private. No one dared to say it clearly.

I have to say that this is an excellent era, where the new and the old meet, where you can see the stubbornness that still clings to the old and rotten to the bone, and the new trend that makes modern people feel ashamed.

Coupled with the impact of President Hua, there are many amazing things happening at all times.

Perhaps for those who support new ideas, as long as they don't smoke, there is nothing unacceptable.

Since the establishment of the Republic of China for more than 20 years, President Hua has insisted on banning smoking for more than 20 years. Laws and regulations have become more and more stringent. The sentence for those who have violated the smoking ban law has become more and more severe. The government has taken the lead in resolute publicity. The suppression finally achieved the current effect.

Based on this alone, Shen Qi could not mind his little selfishness, not to mention that the deceased is the big one. After all, the benefits that President Hua brought to the world outweigh the disadvantages.

Although the Japanese and other countries are still eyeing them, as long as they can condense and refrain from infighting in the past few decades, there is no need to be afraid.

When the Shen family worshipped the ancestors, it was naturally the Shen family who participated. Zhao Huaiyu was left in his home and garden. Shen Qi was very kind and sent someone to pick up Zhao Huaichao.

Shen Qi put on his coat and patted Zhao Huaiyu on the shoulder, smiling kindly: "Since my mother asked me to take care of you, of course I can't let you be alone. It just so happens that you haven't seen your family for more than a month. Brother tells the past well."

Zhao Huaiyu had faintly sensed his temper and chose to remain silent.

Seeing that he didn't change his face, Shen Qi sighed. The wolf cub became more and more able to control his emotions and became less and less cute.

After a set of procedures for worshipping the ancestors, the Shen family were very tired. Shen Qi couldn't even bother to say hello to Zhao Huaiyu and Zhao Huaichao. He immediately packed up and went to sleep. The next day was New Year's Eve, and there was still busy.

The Shen family's identity is different. In the past, it was the royal family and now it was the leader. Naturally, New Year's Eve had a different life.

Early in the morning, President Shen began to send out blessing characters and couplets, which were available to all his subordinates close to him. As for those warlords, they were mailed early, and they were probably received at this time.

The home and the garden had been dressed up yesterday, and the door god couplet was branded with peach charms, giving it a new look.

The consulates of various countries began to come and give gifts one after another. Although the concession was taken back, the exchange of nationals from various countries was not prohibited. Businessmen and scholars still communicated with each other, and foreigners were often seen coming and going on the streets.

Taking advantage of this time, the Shen family, including Doujin who can only speak, must use the radio and tape recorders to send New Year greetings and blessings to the people across the country.

This radio blessing was thought of by Shen Qi. According to his idea, at such an important moment, it is natural to have a wave of presence and reputation among the people, and let the people know who is leading them and deepen their impression. .

To be more popular, it is called grounding.

In the era without internet, radio is the fastest and most effective means of communication today.

Starting from President Shen, blessings cannot be a few simple sentences. Always look back at the past, implicitly and euphemistically tell everyone what good things he has done for everyone this year, and look forward to the future. What good things do everyone do.

The people burst into tears as they listened to the radio: Good people, good leaders.

Warlords who sharpen their swords at any time and prepare to rise: How can there be such a brazen man in the world!

After the speech, it is to celebrate the Chinese New Year Gala. It starts at 7 o’clock in the evening and ends at 11 o’clock, followed by the New Year’s Eve banquet, which will last until 12 o’clock. know that it was made by President Hua. All the performances on stage are The master of the world, well, of course there are many beautiful women. That's how President Hua's former concubine in two rooms knew her.

President Shen sat down, and Shen Qi and the three eldest brothers were in charge of entertaining the guests. He brought Zhao Huaiyu with him, and Zhao Huaichao handed it to the second brother Shen. They had more common topics.

At the banquet, Shen Qi was holding wine, arguing and chatting, and Zhao Huaiyu also tended to follow behind him. Every time he was introduced, he was shy and simple.

It was close to twelve o'clock that Shen Qi got out and went to the resting attic. He took off his coat, took the towel that Shen An handed over, wiped his face, the steaming heat made him feel comfortable, put down the towel, and glanced at Zhao Huaiyu next to him. , Lazily lay down on the sofa: "Tell me about your current thoughts, how do you feel?"

He took him all night, not for him to eat and drink.

Zhao Huaiyu has recovered from the initial surprise and anxiety. After all, it was the first time he saw such a scene, and it was quite good to be able to keep it decent from beginning to end.

In less than two months, from encountering Young Master Shen Qi, being taken to the barracks by him, to what he has seen and heard in the past few days, he was forced to open his horizons so strongly and quickly, seeing what he had never seen before. The world I have seen, I have also seen myself who was once short-sighted and narrow-minded.

He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. Almost instantly, he guessed what Young Master Shen Qi meant by doing this and understood his thoughts.

He looked at the thin red face of Young Master Shen Qi, who was sour in front of him. He knelt down on one knee in his smirking gaze, offering his loyalty, without words, but expressed all the meaning with his body.

Shen Qi was very satisfied, satisfied with his intelligence, satisfied with his choice, and even more satisfied with his posture of complete submission, especially his surrender was trained by him, regardless of whether he had other ideas in his mind, or even if he was hiding. The opposite thought, but the surrender he showed gave him great satisfaction.

"Very good." He hooked his finger, and the wolf pup who surrendered to him moved one knee in front of him. He lifted his chin and looked at him condescendingly, "I don't like listening to the process, I just look at the results. , Four years, I will give you four years, no matter what method you use, get Zhao Zhenghe’s Lu Jun in hand, otherwise you don’t have to come to see me again."

Zhao Huaiyu only felt that something in his bones exploded, it was fierce, it was excitement, a layer of scarlet appeared in his eyes instantly, and the whimsical secret thoughts hidden in his heart were opened, but he did not open it to the person in front of him. Feeling embarrassed and not panicking, instead there was an indescribable stimulus that made his blood boil.

"Go." Shen Qi retracted his hand, drunkenly on his head, with a lazy smile on his chin, with some carelessness, "I hope I can see you again in four years."

Zhao Huaiyu felt that his whole body was burning. He raised his head, a pair of flushed eyes focused on the person on the sofa. He didn't know where the courage came from, got up quickly, rushed forward, hurriedly, awkwardly, facing the astonished one. Yanruo Taoli kissed her face, or bit her.

Just touch it.

Then he left hurriedly and quickly, but with a straight posture.

Did not look back.
