royal family

Zhao Weibo entrusted a lot of connections to come to the address of Shao Yan's family. Along the way to City B, he became more and more anxious.Especially after hearing the taxi driver speak highly of the address he gave, when walking on the empty road in the courtyard area, he wished he could stick to the wall for fear of bumping into some big man who couldn't afford to offend. .

Zhao Weibo checked the house number again and again with the gift. The disciples who came with him were all fussed about it, and even touched the newly repaired pillar at the door and asked repeatedly: "What is this inlaid on it? Is it copper? There are still two pillars at the door." A stone lion...Didn't Master say you wanted to place two lions when your hotel opened last time? I went to the market to look, and the price is not cheap. It doesn't look like the atmosphere, how much does it cost... ..."

How could Zhao Weibo have the mood to talk to them?He was taken aback by Uncle Tong who came out to open the door.

He hurriedly reported his identity and background, and specially showed the gift he brought.

However, Uncle Tong didn't let him into the room immediately, but silently scanned him a whole circle up and down with sharp eyes.

Zhao Weibo felt uncomfortable all over, feeling embarrassed that he was not respected, but when he saw Uncle Tong's face covered with scars, he felt that he might not be a good person to provoke, so he could only silently swallow his anger and pretend to smile.

Ever since the Shao family moved here, Uncle Tong has never heard of Shao's mother and Li Yuke's natal family. Except for her mother's same surname, she really couldn't find the slightest resemblance to Shao's mother.

Uncle Tong, who had reached the pinnacle of seeing people, could tell at a glance that this was not a good guest, so he said "wait a moment" stiffly, and closed the door again.

"..." Zhao Weibo, who thought he could go in, stared at the door panel that was about to touch the tip of his nose, his expression distorted for a moment.

Shao's mother froze when she heard who it was. If the other party hadn't appeared again, Shao's mother would have almost forgotten that she had such a cousin who grew up together.

She is a broad-minded person most of the time, and it is rare for one thing to be kept on her mind for too long. Zhao Weibo stabbed a knife at home when he was down and went to join Shao Yubo. I felt sorry for my husband and son, and since then, I have made up my mind to completely sever ties with this person.

After making this decision, she carried it out very seriously, never met Zhao Weibo again, never even made a phone call, and usually turned her eyes away when she saw news related to him... As time goes by, let alone contacts, Even the inherent memory of the other party has become more and more blurred.

The little brother was very quiet in Shao Yan's arms. Everyone in the room fell into a brief silence after hearing Father Shao's words. After a while, Li Yuke was the first to recover, and Liu Mei slapped the table upside down: "This is shameless!" The white-eyed wolf dares to come out?! He's fucking, I haven't looked for him, but he slammed into the door by himself!"

Yan Yi tried to calm his wife down, but the effect was obviously not good.

Shao's father didn't take small roles like Zhao Weibo seriously. In fact, he never paid attention to the plight of these old people since his life started to develop in a good direction.The only thing that makes him afraid of this person is the friendship he grew up with Shao's mother.Shao's mother is too pure-minded and easily emotional. Although she was severely hurt by this "brother" back then, after so long, who knows if she can still remember the pain in the past?

With Shao's mother's feelings involved, Shao's father intends to let the past go.Revenge or something doesn't have any substantial sense of accomplishment for him now.Later, I occasionally heard that Zhao Weibo was not doing well with his younger brother, so Father Shao didn't take him seriously.

He watched Shao's mother carefully, but fortunately he didn't analyze the sadness from her expression, so he said, "If you don't want to see him, just ask Uncle Tong to send him away."

Mother Shao's eyes were blank for a moment, she shook her head and said, "No need, I haven't seen you for so many years...let him in."

Zhao Weber followed Uncle Tong step by step.The long corridor was winding and deep, and his eyes fell on every passing scenery after entering the gate, and he obviously had a new understanding of the economic situation of his sister and brother-in-law's family.

The hand holding the handle of the gift bag tightened, Zhao Weibo wanted to suppress the bitterness in his heart, but regret was like the air that burrowed at the crack, filling his pores very quickly.

It's true that Zhao Weibo's life is not good, and he won't have the audacity to come here to make fun of himself.

Zhao Weibo has been unemployed since Shao's departure, and his dream was lost by Shao Yubo as a bet in a game. He was so resolutely prepared to have no contact with his two sisters, but in the end it became a complete joke.

Because of this reason, there was also a gap between him and Shao Yubo.At the beginning, Zhao Weibo had expected that Shao Yubo would be able to defeat the shareholders of Shaw Brothers in the fight and reuse him again, but time took away his helplessness and polished his ambition like this, until the day Shao Yubo fell from the horse, Zhao Weibo Fully understand that what he expected will never come.

When Yumenxi was famous, he also hesitated whether to come back to Shao Yan's family for help, but his self-esteem and face did not allow him to do so in the end.Now Zhao Weibo thinks of the face-saving self in the past, wishing he could travel back and slap him fiercely, but at that time he was indeed quite persistent. In order not to show weakness in front of others, he sold the shares of the new hotel that Shao Yubo offered to win him over. He gave it to Liao Dong, and then used the money to open a hotel in a neighboring province.

But Mr. Shao's personal name of disciple is getting more and more difficult to use. Shao Yubo has been holding him back, and has conflicts with Yumenxi again and again.If there is a conflict, it will be a conflict. I haven't won once, and I have ruined the signboard of Shao's gourmet food. Even Zhao Weibo, a personal disciple, is even more unpopular.Zhao Weibo originally planned to call back the apprentices who were still working in the Shao family after the business was completed, but judging from the current situation, that day is undoubtedly still far away.

Those gourmet restaurants of Shaw Brothers were all closed some time ago, and Liao Dongdong said that Shaw Brothers would give up the gourmet route and concentrate on operating the hotel industry.Zhao Weibo's apprentices were all unemployed. After retiring from the Shao family, they looked for jobs everywhere, but they couldn't work anywhere for a long time.

After all, there are not many restaurants that take the high-end line of Shao's restaurant. Excluding Yumen seats, the rest already have accumulated backbone members.Apprentices who are used to being uncompromising in the kitchen can’t bear to lie low and make small grievances, and often quarrel with colleagues. Every time there is a conflict, they are ridiculed with the matter of the master, saying that Zhao Weibo is an apprentice who does not recognize money and six relatives. They are not a good thing either.

They tried high-end restaurants one by one, but they couldn't adapt to the tense work intensity of the terminal restaurant every day, and they refused to touch low-end restaurants because of their dignity and starved to death, so the apprentices had to go to Zhao Weber Hotel to help.

The helplessness of life made Zhao Weibo learn to mature.

He took a deep breath before pushing open the door, with a flattering smile on his face - anyway, for him now, face and self-esteem are the least worth mentioning.

Before the other foot stepped into the door, it was a blow to the head and face.

Zhao Weibo couldn't react to the current situation at once, and he heard his eldest sister Li Yuke, whom he hadn't seen for many years, scolding in a shrill voice: "Dog! How dare you come to the door?! Are you shameless? Let me tell you! Then Be careful and think about it, don't show it for me to see! Fuck, I wanted to beat you like this at the beginning, the Zhao family has raised you so much, why don't you feed it to the dog!!!"

Zhao Weibo ran away in a panic, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at the disciples who followed, and saw the stunned expressions on their faces.

Li Yuke had a good time, brushed her long hair, and went back to sit down with a cold snort: "What are you doing crawling back to find us again?!"

Zhao Weibo lost such a big man in front of his apprentices, he was almost ashamed and angry, but he really didn't have the confidence to get angry, so he had to suppress his unwillingness to come forward and say nice things.

Li Yuke didn't intend to save face for him at all. If it wasn't for seeing how friendly she was when she was a child, Zhao Weibo would definitely not be able to stand here with his whole body intact.She is a person who holds grudges, and now she thinks about the disgusting things that this person did back then.

Zhao Weibo looked at Mother Shao, time seemed to have stopped on her body, a few years had passed, and she was even younger than she remembered.Her skin was fair and smooth, her hair was black and fluffy, and she gave birth to her second child, but her figure did not become fat and bloated.

Shao's mother just sat quietly on the sofa and watched Li Yuke beating someone, and finally met Zhao Weibo's eyes, and asked lightly: "You said you severed ties with us."

Seeing that she didn't miss him at all, Zhao Weibo didn't dare to take Joe, and couldn't care less about the apprentice behind him, so he rushed forward crying: "Sister!!!!"

Li Yuke kicked him backwards.

Zhao Weibo's apprentices were very embarrassed. They didn't understand the grievances of the Zhao family so clearly. They used to be proud that their master could have a relationship with the imperial gate seat.Ordinarily, being a guest at the door does not mean getting VIP-level treatment, there should be basic courtesy, but now a group of people just stand at the gate in unison, the master is kicked to the ground, and no one even arranges a seat for them.

Zhao Weibo was supported to stand up, and began to regret his decision to bring his apprentice here today.He knows the personalities of his two older sisters. Shao's mother is a person who is easily moved and soft-hearted. This lineup was originally prepared for her. The outside news has never said that the Shao family and the Yan family live together. If I had known Li Yuke is also there, he should ask someone to ask Mother Shao out alone!

He tried to wink the apprentices to go out, but Li Yuke stopped the young people when they turned around.

Li Yuke couldn't see the small calculation in Zhao Weibo's heart, wasn't it just to make up for his second sister's soft-heartedness?If you want to use a dirty trick and don't want to embarrass yourself in front of your disciples, how can it be so cheap!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Weibo thought that such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity might be too late, so he knelt down in his heart.

Shao's mother jumped and wanted to get up, but was held down by Li Yuke, and slowly returned to the sofa.

Yan Daichuan stood in a secluded place with his younger brother in his arms. Shao Yan looked at Zhao Weibo, who had a runny nose and tears: "Your mother is playing tricks again."

The younger brother was very interested in the scene in front of him and couldn't take his eyes off it.Yan Daichuan just shrugged his shoulders when he heard the words. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his mother's vengeance. If Zhao Weibo had betrayed him back then, the situation would have been much worse than he is now. At least his two legs can still function normally. Hard to tell.

Shao's mother looked at her crying brother, and the more she looked at her, the more she felt strange.In fact, they are indeed strangers, but Mother Shao's impression of him has always been that of the person who grew up together.Time is really a wonderful thing, it can turn familiar relatives into more and more hideous appearances.Now Zhao Weibo looks more like her elder brother in age, and his old face can't hide the kind of actuarial calculations condensed in the society.

Everyone in the family said she was stupid, but only Shao's mother knew who she had always had a scale in her heart.

Just like Zhao Weibo, who is kneeling in front of him now, wishing he could take the blame and plead guilty, his appearance is only to finally dispel an obsession that has been suppressed in his heart from before.

Zhao Weibo was downcast all the way back. He couldn't figure out when his second sister became like this.Having lived in Zhao's family for decades, he knows how soft-hearted Shao's mother is. Because she has always been treated kindly by others, her personality is too gentle.Zhao Weibo used to think of her as a fool and never looked down on her annoying character, but now he very much hopes that she can return to that appearance.

At least he won't coldly repeat the fact that they have severed their relationship after he came to the door full of hope for help and knelt down to confess.

He knew that the apprentices were secretly looking at him, and he knew what they were thinking right now.Kneeling and crying in front of them is the most embarrassing and outrageous thing Zhao Weibo has ever done in his life. He originally planned to use this to soften his heart. It's a laughing stock.

Uncle Tong still led the way as quietly as when he came. When they went out, they walked through another corridor.The promenade surrounds a courtyard of the house. Zhao Weibo stared at the rockery with flowers in the courtyard, and his thoughts were complicated. Suddenly, he heard Shao's mother's voice from behind: "Wait a minute!"

He paused, and it was as if a lamp was lit in his heart, and the whole world suddenly became daylight.

Turning her head, Shao's mother came up from the back of the corridor, gathering up the silk scarf that had slipped from her shoulders in one hand, and holding a few golden gift bags in the other.

"Take the things back, I love you." Shao's mother approached, put the bag at Zhao Weber's feet, and sighed when she met Zhao Weber's expectant gaze, "Don't contact me again in the future."

Zhao Weibo stared blankly at the second sister's never-before-seen decisive appearance, and watched her back go away, feeling a sinking heart.

Seeing that he was not moving, Uncle Tong behind him reminded him, "Mr. Zhao, let's go."

-

It wasn't until autumn that the family, who were busy with their work, finally had time to go back to city A with a lawyer to hand over the Shao family's old house. , The old house is built on the middle of the mountain in City A, covering an extremely large area. There is a new villa area developed on the lower part of the mountain, and no one is allowed to go further up the mountain. It is all the independent territory of the Shao family.

In order to win this piece of land, Mr. Shao must have put in a lot of effort.This is the benefit of the Emperor of Earth. I don’t know how many people outside the Shao’s are more capable, but the bigger the city is, the more restrained it becomes. If you want to build a mountain with a good location like this in City B or City S, unless it’s true The power is so powerful that it is hard to reach, otherwise most of them still have to rely on dreams.

It was the first time for Shao Yan to set foot in this place, and he drove around the mountain road all the way in the car, feeling as if he was leaving for the former hot spring villa.The facilities here are undoubtedly much superior to the muddy gravel roads in the past. It is full of green and deep, and after entering the gate into the mountain, there has been no trace of human beings.

I don't know how long I drove upwards, but the incline road suddenly became flat. The car seemed to be driving into the upper abdomen. The towering giant trees on both sides separated the two ends of the road.

A towering iron gate blocked the way.

When the car stopped, Shao Yan looked in from the outside, and suddenly felt that he could understand why Shao Yubo's family made every effort to stay in this house.

Such an industry, even if it were him, I'm afraid he couldn't refuse it, right?

The front yard is unbelievably wide, and I don't know how to build such a house on the mountain. In short, it is not the same style as Yan Daichuan's.It's really big. It's probably a long way from the gate to the main house if you don't drive.The younger brother lay on the car glass and looked out. He gnawed on the glass while watching, and his saliva dripped down the car door.

Shao Yan was so disgusted that he refused to take him, and let Yan Daichuan hold him down.

When Shao's mother and Shao's father got out of the car, their expressions were very complicated, holding each other's hands, and several old aunts who were not young came out of the room, calling them from a distance: "Mr.!!! Mrs.!!!!"

Aunt Wei and Aunt Li who followed looked like they missed their old friend. When the group of people approached, they took the hand of the old nanny who was walking in front and asked warmly, "How are you?"

"What about you?"

"Ouch!!!" The two sighed in unison, hugged together, danced and laughed, and tears came out as they smiled.

"It's good to be back... It's good to be back..."

Shao Yan's family was surrounded by the front and back, and those old servants who were obviously very close in the past surrounded Shao Yan in amazement from a distance and dared not approach.The old lady at the head who was reminiscing with Aunt Li and the others walked around Shao Yan twice, with a tone of disbelief: "I didn't dare to recognize it when I saw it on TV, Yan Yan is even more beautiful when she loses weight! "

"It was carved out of the same mold as my wife!"

"Yanyan's facial features were fine when he was young, but the more fleshy he is, the less obvious it is... Oh, it's good to be back. I watched you grow up since I was a child, and I couldn't stop thinking about it every day after moving out for a while."

"Yes, yes, it's good to be back... It's good to be back..."

How could Shao Yan fail to hear such obvious compliments?He scanned the house for a week, probably because he used to live in an old man's house, the decoration and furnishings in the main house are all in the retro style of solid wood, which is his favorite style, and when he is in a good mood, he looks very pleasing to the eye.

Shao's father and Shao's mother just smiled at the various voices asking for warmth and coldness, and the warmth and coldness of human relationships are so realistic.After my family was asked to move out, these servants who were wiping their tears didn't see them call to contact each other after they left, but now they confide innumerable feelings like a reunion after a parting.

For this residence, the couple naturally have different feelings in their hearts.Shao's father has lived here since he landed, and every corner of the old house is printed with his fond childhood memories.Shao's mother moved in after getting married, sent away her father, and got Shao Yan. Every bit of her married life with Shao's father is so precious.

After all, I want to live in it. If someone takes the initiative to please, they will accept it if they can.

The servants arranged their luggage and clamored to change the room, suggesting that Shao's father and Shao's mother should sleep in the master bedroom.The masters of the Shao family have been sleeping there since Shao Yan's great-grandfather, and Shao Yubo moved to that room almost the day he drove away his elder brother's family, and did not move out until he was deprived of inheritance rights.

Shao Yan was unfamiliar with everything about this house, so he followed them to check it out.

Someone on the road pointed to the bottom of the stairs and said that Shao Wenqing fell there before he moved out. The Shao family and his wife silently avoided that part, and when they turned their heads to look down from the stairs, their eyes were full of complexity.

The master bedroom is connected with a study room, which is very large, and there are still some traces of Shao Yubo that have not been completely removed, such as the replaced curtain with a younger pattern, or the row of old men on the shelf that will definitely not Read books on psychology.

Shao's father took Shao's mother's hand and turned around inside, and returned to the study room. The black and white portraits of the two deceased old men of the Shao family hung beside the desk.

The couple looked at each other, bowed to the portrait, and slowly backed out.

"I live in the same room as before, and the master bedroom is empty. I offer incense sticks to my dad and grandpa during the holidays. The old people should also have a place at home." The performance looked more and more indifferent.

The servants around couldn't help but look at each other when they followed the footsteps of Shao's father who turned and left. Shao Yan was more sensitive, and heard someone discussing in a low voice while walking: "Tsk tsk... born in a mother's womb..."

"Why is it so different..."

His shoulder was bumped suddenly, and he turned his head to see that Yan Daichuan was standing behind with the child in his arms: "Where is your room?"

Seeing that Shao Yan didn't answer, he frowned again: "Forget that you lost your memory before."

Shao Yan couldn't remember, but the servants in the old house knew everything, and immediately volunteered to lead the way for the two of them.Yan Daichuan stood in front of the door of the room that was not so well located compared to the many bedrooms in the old house, and there was a vague excitement in his heart that he was going to look through his lover's childhood album.

The door was pushed open, and Yan Daichuan stepped in expressionlessly, and then his mood changed to his own.

It was quite an ordinary room with no personal style. The fabric, iron art, unexpectedly soft floral decoration, and even a somewhat European aesthetic made it impossible for him to connect this room with Shao Yan behind him.

Yan Daichuan couldn't hide his disappointment, turned to look at Shao Yan, and saw the same disgust as himself floating in Shao Yan's eyes.

Shao Yan touched the thorns and rose pattern at the end of the bed with the corners of his mouth down: "What are these..."

Apparently, the servants who came along who knew something about his previous taste were stunned. In order to make Shao Yan happy, there were many things here that they hadtily put on before Shao Yan's family came back.

Yan Daichuan put the little brother on the bed, the little brother turned over and crawled around, touched the head of the bed to support himself and stood up with difficulty, holding the pattern of thorny roses on his mouth and gnawed, and fell back on another butt not long after gnawing.

Shao Yan touched and touched, not satisfied with anything, and shook his head directly: "I want to change the room, and the furniture should not be messed up. The curtains and quilts with flowers should also be changed, and they should be dark. The tables, chairs and benches are made of solid wood. It doesn't matter if you put a vase and dishes... what are these..." He picked up a assembled Gundam robot to look back and forth, and after putting it down, he picked up a small doll with long green hair.The little puppet is quite beautifully made, with protruding front and back, and the legs are put together to make the skirt blown by the wind. The snow-white breasts are white and plump, which is too plump according to the proportion.

He stretched out his finger and touched the puppet's chest, tsk, it was hard.Then Yan Daichuan snatched him away when his hands were empty.

Yan Daichuan angrily threw the doll into the desk drawer, and nodded in his heart listening to Shao Yan's statement. This is the feeling that matches Shao Yan's!

When the servant saw that Shao Yan disliked his favorite Gundam robots and anime figures, his mind was a little bit overwhelmed. Then he saw that everyone was complaining about all the things he bought while remembering his taste, and he was panicked for a while.Someone hastily took out a pen and paper to record his request for the room, and the tip of the pen was moving slower and slower on the paper...

Everyone looked at each other where Shao Yan couldn't see, with indescribable astonishment in their eyes.

This earth-shaking change from body shape to taste, if it wasn't for sure that Shao's father and Shao's mother would not admit the wrong child, they would certainly not believe that the young man in front of him was the young master of the Shao family who grew up under their care.

Someone cautiously stepped forward and asked, "How about Yan Shao go to another room to make do with it for a few days? Let's vacate the things in this room at night and refit them for you as soon as possible?"

Shao Yan was stunned when he heard the words, looked around the room, and saw a photo frame on the desk. The snow-white fat man in the photo frame looked young, posing scissors hands at the camera, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed. sewn.

"I don't want to live here, change to a room with a better location." Shao Yan stepped forward and opened the window, from which he could see the whole red maple forest in the backyard, "Let's keep this room as it is, when I'm free You can also come and live."

Where did everyone dare to say no, they all nodded in unison.Yan Daichuan stepped forward to hug his younger brother and planned to leave, but Shao younger brother hugged the iron rose on the bedside until he was so intoxicated that his saliva wet the pillow, but he refused to let go.

Yan Daichuan was trying to coax him to obey when he suddenly sensed something and turned his head away.

Shao Yan kept opening the drawer and was caught straight. Facing Yan Daichuan's threatening gaze, he casually reached out and took out the green-haired doll that had just been thrown in.

Yan Daichuan spread his hands towards him: "Give it to me."

Shao Yan coughed and handed it over: "I took it to see and put it back to the original place..."

Yan Daichuan raised his hand and took the thing from the man's hand and threw it on the bed.After staying for a long time, he finally discovered that Shao Yan has a lot of gossip in his stomach. When he went to the street and saw models on the big screen in the catwalk, he could stand there and watch for half an hour. His behavior was more serious than him. , In fact, women are staring at their legs and chest.

After staring at each other for a while, Shao Yan was the first to be defeated, and approached Yan Daichuan, expressing his intention to hug his younger brother: "Choose a room?"

Yan Daichuan raised his hand and squeezed his chin, as if to let him go.

Shao Yan bent down to hug the child, and then maintained that movement for a long time without changing.

So don't want to hold a baby?

Yan Daichuan felt that Shao Yan's dislike of his younger brother had become unreasonable, when he suddenly heard Shao Yan calling his name: "Give me the phone."

What's wrong?He froze for a moment, and leaned forward while handing over the phone.

"..."

Brother Shao was grabbing the green-haired puppet and licking it, his tongue kept lingering on the two white breasts, squinting his eyes, insanely intoxicated.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I really can't tell, this kid is so..." Shao Yan patted his brother a long time ago, but couldn't think of a suitable adjective.Yan Daichuan stared at the frozen image on the screen, the younger brother's wretchedness and idiot were completely natural at this moment.

"..." Yan Daichuan couldn't help thinking, "How else can I say they are brothers."

This day is really over.
