V4.Chapter 43

"Do you know why the Xu family doesn't participate in the factional struggle?" Xu Kangguo sits behind his desk with a carved and simple walking stick next to his hand. In the warm yellow study, the old man's hand is pressed on it, but the old man's strength is still heavy, just as he looks at Xia Shao. < - "

Xia Shao kept still in the old man's eyes, looked at him for a long time and smiled, "factional disputes have existed since ancient times. It is inevitable to form a party for private interests. If you engage in private interests, you will have * *. If you have * *, the country will lose. I think your original intention is to hope that the Xu family's children are for the country and the people, not for private interests."

Although he had known the old man for a short time and had only seen him a few times, Xia Shao still respected the old man in front of him. He has the most simple wishes and thoughts of a generation of national leaders. She believes that he devoted himself to the war of resistance in that era of war and aggression in order to protect the country and return the people to a stable and prosperous country.

Now, half a century later, Xia Shaoxin still keeps his original intention. Her eyes fell on the only ink treasure in the Xu family's study. That pair of ink is hung in the most conspicuous position in the study. As the only ink in the study, its content is only one word.

Right.

Regular script, upright and upright.

It's not a famous calligraphy. It seems that the signature is "an old guest of the Xu family", which should be the autograph of Mr. Xu.

This word represents the discipline that Xu's children must save in three days, and also represents Xu's wish to be a country all his life.

Xu Kangguo listened to Xia Shao's answer, looked at the word on the wall along her eyes, and slowly opened his mouth, "you will marry into the Xu family in the future. This word will also be your standard in the future."

This made everyone in the study stunned. Xu Tianyin held Xia Shao's hand tightly and looked at the old man. Xu Yanying was pleased in her eyes and then relieved.

Only Xu Yanshao looked at Xia Shao and at the old man deeply. Hua Fang criticized this incident at home tonight. Then he received a call from the old man and asked him to come home. The old man didn't let Hua Fang come, but called the Xu family. I thought he would call Xu Tianyin back for questioning. Unexpectedly, he even called Xia Shao back.

Mo said that she hasn't married into the Xu family. Even if she does, it's not suitable for her to appear here at a meeting that only people surnamed Xu can attend tonight.

What the old man said just now is not light. I didn't speak clearly when I went home for dinner, but I did tonight. She not only said that she would marry into the Xu family, but also asked her according to the Xu family rules.

The old man thinks highly of this girl

There was something obvious in her words.

"Wang and Su are still in the dark about this matter tonight. I don't know you did it on purpose. If you don't know it all the time, you'll forget it. If you know it, you'll inevitably not regard it as the meaning of the Xu family. The Xu family doesn't participate in the factional struggle, but it's inevitable that they will be included in the Qin family. If you don't fight, you'll have to fight. If you don't fight, you'll have to fight. It's against the word" righteousness "of the Xu family. Do you know Is it white? "Xu Kangguo pointed to the word on the wall and looked at Xia Shao.

Xia Shao smelled the speech and lowered his eyes. "I understand. But I have a different understanding of this orthography. Can you let me say it?"

Xu Kangguo was stunned and his eyes were burning, "you said."

"I think people have lived in groups since the day when there were people. There are groups, organizations, and then rise to parties. It has never changed since ancient times. You always don't want the Xu family to participate in factional struggle. Naturally, your intentions are good and bitter, but the Xu family is in a high position and must have never stopped trying to win over and tempt. It used to be good, but now it's the critical moment of the struggle between Jiang and Qin, and you didn't dare to do it before Those who set the trap for the Xu family now dare to do it. This shows that the situation is urgent. Second, it shows that it is difficult for the Xu family to avoid factional fighting. Since there is no way to avoid it, why do you avoid it? "Xia Shao raised his eyes and asked.

But Xu Yanshao's eyebrows jumped when he heard this! Xu Yanying just let go of her heart, and then she wanted to wink at Xia Shao!

In the Xu family, we all know that the old man doesn't like factional disputes. Therefore, most of the Xu family are vague in the past, even if they are tempted to win over outside. Although Xia Shao is right, there are unavoidable situations. No one can be pure in officialdom. It is inevitable that some interests will intersect and change, but such things don't dare the old man to know.

I can't even say. Who dares to persuade the old man to participate in the factional struggle?

How brave the girl is!

"The two factions of Jiang and Qin always win or lose. Although I am not in politics, I also know that the winner is the king. Those who win may be in charge of the country, and those who lose may never recover. Listen, this is a matter of self-interest. In fact, it is really about self-interest? Being in charge of the country is about the country's luck. You have been in a high position for half a century. Can you avoid factional fighting in the end, in your heart Naturally, you know. Since you can't avoid it and you always want to care about the national destiny and the people's livelihood, why don't you look at your eyes? Who can afford the national destiny and benefit the people's livelihood? Factional fighting is not all for private interests. They are for private interests, and you are for the country. If you come out of the mud and don't stain, you can be yourself in the dirt altar! "

Xia Shao looked at the calligraphy in the study, "I don't think we should be dogmatic. Since we are a country, we should dare to be a country. Even if someone who doesn't know mistakenly thinks that the Xu family forms a party for personal gain, so what? We are not afraid of polluting our own fame and wealth, so we can live up to this orthography!"

Xu Yanshao stood still with deep eyes. Xu Yanying took a low breath and looked at the old man.

Xu Kangguo sat behind his desk and didn't say a word since Xia Shao began to speak. At the moment, he still didn't say a word when she finished. But the old but bright eyes locked the young girl in front of her, with dignified eyes.

He has been in a high position for half a century. How can he not understand what she says? However, the children of the Xu family knew that he hated forming a party for personal gain, so no one dared to say this in front of him. They were afraid of his anger, so they kept his likes and dislikes, did not dare to participate in factional strife, and did not dare to say these words to him.

These words, perhaps they thought so in their hearts, or they didn't expect such a way at all.

In any case, this is the first time anyone dares to say this in front of him.

The child is not the Xu family yet.

Xu Kangguo looked up at Xia Shao and sighed. This sigh is simple, but the most complex.

Xu Yanying looks at the old man. Why is the old man not angry?

Xu Yanshao's eyes shook slightly and turned to the old man. Why, does the old man think so?

"You're right, but to do so, you must first be right. No matter how much interest temptation you encounter, you can insist on putting the country first, otherwise you will become seeking private interests in the name of the country. If this happens, you'd better not participate in factional struggle." Xu Kang National Highway gives the real reason why Xu's children don't participate in factional struggle over the years. He was afraid that they could not control it, and finally he fought for his own interests.

This is not so much for Xia Shao as for Xu Yanshao's brother and sister.

They were quiet and didn't know what they thought, but Xu Kangguo still looked at Xia Shao.

"In a high position, there are many things to weigh. Just like tonight, you have reason to do so, but those onlookers outside don't know your reason. They only see the dispatch of the army. In their eyes, this is the dandy fighting for power among the children of the powerful in the capital. You should consider the image of the country and the image of the army in the eyes of the masses. Worry about the impact and weigh Pros and cons, when things happen, you should not only calculate those who have interests with you, but also worry about those who have no interests with you. In all aspects, this is the superior. "

Mr. Xu looked at Xia Shao and said sincerely, "you are not only an entrepreneur, but also the future granddaughter-in-law of the Xu family. You should not only stand in the perspective of your own company and the political position of the Xu family, but also learn to rise to a higher level, stand in the perspective of the country and consider your influence in the crowd."

With that, the old man raised his eyes and looked at Xu Tianyin again. He said with the same earnestness, "you are not performing tasks for the country and being your unsung hero. Now you are a military commander, and you should consider the image of the army among the masses. Do you two know what's wrong tonight?"

"I see, Grandpa." Xu Tianyin bowed his head slightly, admitting his mistake and being taught.

Xia Shao also bowed her head. When she disagreed with the old man's point of view, she was not afraid to say it. But when what he said was reasonable, she was not afraid to admit that she took into account everything tonight. She really didn't consider what the onlookers would think, "I know, sir. I'll try to consider this in the future."

The old man sat behind his desk, his eyes swept over his faces, and finally fell on Xia Shao. Seeing her slightly bow her head and smile like a little fox in the past, she is clever at the moment.

The old fox drooped his eyelids and covered his smile. He seemed very satisfied with scolding her. But as soon as he raised his eyes, he continued to lecture people, "not as much as possible, but as the primary consideration!"

"Yes, I see."

"HMM." the old man nodded comfortably. There was silence in the study. For a long time, the old man waved his hand, "OK, after tossing all night, there was a night stew in the kitchen. Drink and go back."

Xu Tianyin looks down at Xia Shao, who bites his lips. She chewed on the cat's ears all night and ate two meat patties... So strong.

But the old man's kindness naturally means it. Xia Shao looks at Xu Tianyin and smiles bitterly. It seems that after going back tonight, I have to walk in the community for a long time before I can go back to bed.

They greeted the old man, Xu Yanshao and Xu Yanying, and then turned away. But as soon as I got to the door, I heard Xu Kangguo humming, "go back early and go to bed early after eating! Young people, we should form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early! Get up early tomorrow morning and come back to exercise with me and have breakfast! Today's young people take care of their small days when it comes to holidays and don't know how to accompany the elderly!"

Xia Shao looked back and smiled. This time she said, "I think you don't want us. Can you enter the red wall courtyard if you want to? You always give me a pass. I'll come to play Tai Chi with you at the weekend."

Xu Kangguo choked and stared. Xia Shao smiled and took Xu Tianyin's arm and left.

When I got out of the study and came to the door, I heard the old man clapping the table and muttering, "this girl! She kidnapped my grandson and tried to cheat me on a pass?"

Xia Shao almost sprained her foot at the door. She just thought that her mother-in-law would be jealous of her son's abduction. Is it difficult for her grandfather to do the same?

In the study, Xu Yanying's laughter came, "Dad, people married into our Xu family. You won two at once and won't suffer."

"Why don't you suffer? God is angry with me!" the old man snorted.

Xia Shao endured a smile and went to the restaurant with Xu Tianyin. The kitchen has prepared Tremella sweet soup and several snacks. They are all light. Only one is meat. It is the doornail meat cake that we lined up to buy tonight. Xia Shao saw it and smiled knowingly. The old man also knew that elder martial brother loved to eat this when he was a child, so he asked the kitchen to prepare it.

Although both of them were full, they ate one and drank a bowl of sweet soup. Because he was not hungry, he ate slowly. When he ate, Xia Shao saw the meat cake and felt not greasy with vinegar. "This meat cake is very delicious, but I don't know how to take such a name. It's strange."

Xu Tianyin looked up at her and didn't speak.

After supper, they were driven back by the guard. When the car reached the city gate, Xu Tianyin suddenly said, "Uncle Zhang, drive slowly."

The guard was stunned, and then Bento really slowed down. Xia Shao looked at Xu Tianyin. He didn't know what he was going to do, but he rolled open the window, pointed to the city gate he was passing, and said, "like this, doornail."

Xia Shao was stunned and realized that he was talking about the name of the meat pie. Stunned, she looked at the red painted city gate. One of the nails on it was as big as the palm of her hand. It was really similar in both golden color and shape!

Xia Shao smiled, "it's really similar."

The guard could understand what they were saying from their words and said with a smile: "Miss Xia, don't you know? It's said that this meat pie was a new snack for Empress Dowager Cixi at that time. When Cixi asked for its name, the cook didn't know its name. It looked like a nail hat on the door of the palace. With that, the name passed down. Our old man didn't like it before. He said it was Cixi's favorite. As a result, young master Tianyin loved meat when he was a child, so he went to the kitchen I stole it for him several times. The old man found it. When he saw that he liked it, he didn't say anything. "

Xia Shao smiled and lowered her eyes. Well, elder martial brother now... Also likes meat.

When they returned to the villa community, they still got off the car at the door of the community, and then held hands to go back for a walk.

The guard drove back. When he returned, Xu Yanshao and Xu Yanying had also left in the study. Xu Kangguo was still sitting in the study, looking at the orthographic characters on the wall and meditating.

The guard knocked at the door and came to the desk in silence.

For a long time, the old man frowned, "if you have anything to say, you have learned to grind!"

The guard smiled and hesitated for a while before saying: "Old man, are you... Demanding too much of Miss Xia? She's not yet 20 years old. To tell the truth, I admire everything tonight. At my age, she can't do anything except fight hard with others. From her age, she's done beyond imagination. At least I haven't seen any other girl at this age who has such a plot."

"Hum, what do you know!" Xu Kangguo hummed, but with a smile on his face. "Young people have to knock, whether they are smart or not. This is the fun of the old man."

"..." the guard's eyes stared straight as he pulled out of the corner of his mouth. He endured his stomach Fei.

You are old, what a bad taste

But it's not pure evil fun, is it?

The guard looked at the old man and lowered his eyes. He felt that the old man's words tonight were pointing to Miss Xia. He wouldn't say these words to people the old man doesn't value.

Listening to these words, he felt that if the old man only appreciated Miss Xia in the past, it would look more like training her as the future mistress of the Xu family tonight.

Sure enough, after a while, Xu Kangguo sighed, "do you think it's so easy to be the mistress of the Xu family? The girl is not in politics now, but she has to learn to deal with and avoid the political situation, especially on some sensitive issues. It's just because the girl is smart that I dialed her so early. It's good for her to learn early."

The guard nodded. Seeing that Xu Kangguo was a little tired, he helped him up and went to bed.

The next morning, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin got up early and went to the Xu family to accompany the old man for breakfast. That morning, Xu Yanshao and Xu Yanying didn't come. Only Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin accompanied the old man. When they had dinner, they learned from the old man that Wang Su and Wang Su had a big quarrel last night.

After Su Yu returned, his father beat his daughter in anger and took people to the Wang family to apologize. As a result, he was driven out without even entering the Wang family's door.

Wang GUANGTANG's attitude is firm. Let's stop this marriage!

After a whole night, Su Yu didn't know whether she was scolded by her father or regretted it. This morning, she came to the door of the Wang family and cried to see Wang Zhuo. No one in the Wang family showed up and the door was closed. When Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin came, I heard that the Wang family sent someone to pack up all the things about Su Yu and return them to the Su family.

This marriage has greatly damaged the face of the Wang family. It is impossible.

Xia Shao only listens but doesn't speak. After dinner, he walks and chats with the old man for a long time. Xu Kangguo doesn't let Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin go back until lunch at noon.

On the way back, Xia Shao called the general manager of the capital branch of Huaxia auction company. The general manager was the original deputy general manager of Huaxia auction company. The capital was deep in water. People who were not familiar with the foundation were afraid of internal ghosts. Sun Changde proposed to transfer from the headquarters, and Xia Shao agreed.

The new general manager's surname is Fang Li.

This man is an overseas Chinese, and his parents emigrated to Britain. However, Fang Li liked China very much and came to live in China after graduating from a British university. He has great appreciation of Western antiques and is not very old. He is only 30 years old this year. He was lively and funny. Xia Shao was quite impressed by him.

Xia Shao calls Fang Li and asks him to pay attention to Wang Zhuo's auction house. If there is any trend, remember to report to her.

A digression

Well, it's earlier, but there's no second.

I'll pack up tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. I have to stay on the train for two days. These two days are constantly changing, but it is also guaranteed to be updated every day, 5000 words.

Sister paper can raise culture. I will go to the South on the 20th. In the week at the end of the month, no matter how busy things are, I will put them aside. Wan Geng.

So these days, everyone has worked hard. Touch it.
