One Hundred Routes of Counterattack

Chapter 108 Young Master's Counterattack 13.9

In the Jinyang Han Mansion, Han Xiu is upright and strict, taking the "excellent tradition" of helping each other as a banner, and ruthlessly strips off Su Yansheng's hypocrisy of sitting on the sidelines and watching the changes.

Naturally, Su Yansheng lost his composure in embarrassment on the spot.I saw his pale face swelled into a pig's liver, his fingers trembling: "Young boy with a yellow mouth, you have no way to stand up, how dare you speak such wild words!"

He looked at Han Yan, who was sitting at the head of the seat, who was thinking silently, and said harshly, "If the lord is unwilling to accept advice, you can just speak out, why should you humiliate me like this with your parents and children! Hmph, Lizi can't be conspired with, and I won't leave it here. People, I have a place to keep people, I just leave."

As he said that, he wanted to walk away.

However, to his surprise, Han Yan, who was obviously moved by his persuasion just now, did not make any moves to keep himself at this time.His move is based on retreat, if there is no supporter to set up a stage for him, how can he stay here half-heartedly, no matter how strong he is, Han Yan completely obeys him?

The scene was awkward for a while, Su Yansheng stopped for a moment, no one in the room moved, although his movement of turning around, flicking his sleeves, and stopping awkwardly was only for a moment, but it clearly fell into the eyes of others, which made him want to die of shame and indignation , I just feel that the whole body is hot. Originally, it was just a pretentious resentment and embarrassment, but now it is fake and real, piercing the heart!

Seeing Su Yansheng leaving in anger, Han Yan frowned slightly. Why is this Su Yansheng so hostile?Subconsciously, he knew that he should stay three points away from this person.He looked at Han Xiu: "Master too, why are you talking to elders like this?"

"Even if it is an elder, it is impossible to know the ambition of a wolf."

Han Xiu didn't back down at all, and he blinked meaningfully where only one person could see Han Yan.This made Han Yu startled slightly.

After Su Yansheng left, he was a person who supported him, but was scolded by Han Yao's words, and he felt ashamed and lost all interest for a while.Others who opposed him, seeing Han Xiu's appearance, were naturally convinced and agreed with him one after another.The conversation broke up not long after.

"Master, so what's going on, why are you so disrespectful to Mr. Su all of a sudden?"

Although Han Xiu scolded a talented retainer, Han Yu was not very angry. Knowing that his son had grown up, he had his own considerations for many things. Han Yu just wanted to hear what he thought before making a decision.

Han Xiu quickly said: "The Lin family should not be abandoned. One step back, one step at a time, and in the end there is no way to retreat, and the family line of a hundred generations will be cut off from you and me. Father, the Lin family has little relationship with the Nan family, and if you are splashed with dirty water, you But don't forget, our Han family and Nan family were in-laws for generations in the past. Although there is a saying that the head of the Nan family is not good, if he jumps over the wall in a hurry, we may also get dirty. If we are right now The Lin family has been silent, and I am afraid that the other family will be silent to my Han family in the future."

Push oneself and others, things hurt others.

For a moment, Han Yan couldn't help but feel desolate in his heart: "I don't understand this truth, but I'm still lucky. What Shier said is right. Now that the world has changed, if we want to maintain the glory of the past, the family must work together and help each other. "

"It's good that father understands."

However, after leaving the study, Han Xiu summoned Xue Song, "Go and spread this news in private..."

Xue Song was very puzzled when he heard this: "Young master, isn't this kind of master..."

"Go if you want, why talk so much?" Han Yao glanced at it, the coldness in his eyes immediately made Xuesong shiver, and he didn't dare to say more, shrank his neck in a hurry and ran away.

After a while, a message came out:

The in-law Lin's family is in danger, and the head of the family, Han Yu, wants to use the entire Han family as a guarantee for the Lin family, to watch and help each other, and to tide over the difficulties together.

Not long after, another news came out from the family: the real reason why Han Yan did this was that his wife and mother belonged to the Lin family.

For a moment, the hearts of the clan were fluctuating, and the clansmen who were originally a little unhappy because of the sentence of "using the entire Han clan to protect the Lin clan" couldn't sit still.

"Huh, Second Uncle is so quick." When Han Xiu received Xuesong's urgent report, he was practicing calligraphy calmly, and he was calm when he heard Xuesong's words. It is as graceful as a frightened bird, and graceful as a dragon.

Xue Song couldn't bear it and said: "Oh, master, what we did, in case the master knows..."

Han Xiu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What did we do?"

"Didn't you ask me to deliver the news?"

"Oh, it turns out that you, a kid who can't hide things, casually spread what my father said to me. Look, what should I do now that I have caused such a big disaster."

cedar:"……!"

Seeing Xuesong's pitiful expression of being shocked, angry and afraid to speak, Han Xiu smiled and said, "Hey, little Xuesong, thanks to your young master, I have the resources of heaven. I know it's not a blessing, I know about it. For the sake of your dedication to serving me in the past, I will naturally remedy it for you, so don't be impatient!"

"..."

But wasn't it you who asked me to do it!Don't throw the pot at me casually!

Xue Song's face was full of tears, he could tell that the young master had already planned to push the matter to himself! ...Fortunately, I was witty, and I was careful when I passed on the message, and I didn't do it myself.

Sure enough, as soon as the second news came out, it was like adding fuel to a raging fire. All the elders of the clan immediately felt restless and came to visit one after another. At this time, Han Zhao, who had been "outlining the ceremony in the suburbs", rarely happened to be at home and heard the news.

"So, uncles, do you mean that you disagree with Zhe's decision, and think that Zhe pushed the Han family into the abyss for his own selfishness?"

Han Yan frowned. Although he had expected that his actions might arouse some people's questions, he didn't expect that their questions would come so quickly and in such a way, as if they were already joint inquiries.Could it be that someone was interfering with it?

Without time to think about it, the clan elder's words made his blood boil.Although they didn't admit it directly, the evasiveness between the words, the doubts and speculations in their eyes when they looked at him left and right, made Han Yan's heart ache.

He couldn't help but want to explain the whole story, but was suddenly interrupted by his second brother Han Zhao who came to "watch" and said, "My uncles, why are you mobilizing people like this? Brother, uncles are getting old, why don't you all sit down and sit down?" Let’s talk about something.”

The second uncle said coldly: "Zhaoer doesn't know something, it's not that we intend to offend the master, but that he is doing this now, it really makes us feel chilling."

A Zhaoer, a master.

Han Yan paused, and for some reason, the details that he hadn't paid attention to before jumped into his ears very clearly, showing irony.

"Oh? Brother, what did you do?" Han Zhao has a good appearance. Although he is not as refined and mellow as Han Ji, his appearance is very believable.Han Yan felt sorry for him. When he was alone and helpless, seeing his brother warmly support him was the only comforting thing.

However, without waiting for him to explain his words, the second uncle quickly narrated the matter: "Your elder brother's beloved wife and mother's Lin family has an accident. He wants to use our Han family as a guarantee, and begs Luoyang to let the Lin family go."

Han Yan felt dissatisfied, and couldn't help but retort for a moment: "How could the second grandfather say such cruel words? Now that the Nan family is chasing and biting me indiscriminately, if we wait for the aristocratic family to go our own way, it will be like a mess of loose sand, and it will be difficult to become a big weapon. Today, Han The family assists the Lin family, and he will repay the virtue with virtue in the future. This is the meaning of the title. Whether the Lin family is my wife and mother or not, it has nothing to do with what I do. If the Lin family seeks the Han family, if the Han family is indifferent That's right, how can I stand in the family with face in the future?"

At this time, the fourth uncle who had been silent by the side suddenly said: "Everyone of you should not say a few words, Ah, the fourth uncle has never interfered in the affairs of the clan, you know that, your heart, we are so bad It's not that the old man doesn't understand, now fourth uncle is going to ask you, do you dare to say that there is no consideration of relatives if you want to help Mrs. Lin?"

Han Xiu, who was on the sidelines coldly, sneered in his heart, not to mention his sensitive father at the moment, even another bystander might be able to hear the favoritism and tendency.This "Fourth Uncle", who is always relying on the old and selling the old, and this almost forceful questioning, really...

I only heard Han Zhuo close his eyes and said: "If I say no, I don't believe it myself, but I, Han Zhuo, sit upright and have a clear conscience!"

"Okay!" The second uncle on the side said fairly, "Fourth uncle, look, he has admitted it himself! The so-called 'groundless rumors may not be without reason', let me tell you, this is simply out of selfishness. The lives of the entire clan are being roasted on the fire!"

Han Yan suddenly looked at the second uncle, the coldness in his eyes made the second uncle shiver subconsciously.But the next moment, when he saw Han Zhao standing beside him, he mustered up his courage again and stared back.

Sure enough, the "peacemaker" Han Zhao said: "Second Grandpa said this a bit too much. There is nothing wrong with the elder brother's thoughts. After all, flesh and blood are inseparable, and it is human nature. Just having said that, our Jinyang Han family Although Lin and Youzhou belong to the same family in the north, after all, one is in Jizhou and the other is in Youzhou. There are high mountains and long rivers, and there is not much intersection in the past. This... Even if we want to help, it is beyond our reach. Luoyang will The four seas are unified, you said that the two families who live in two places suddenly join forces, this is not a pleasant thing, will it cause fire? Isn't sister-in-law Lin the most knowledgeable and reasonable person, and she would not blame her elder brother for the mother's family's misfortune Bar."

With a "snap", Han Xiu, who had been serving tea as a junior, brought a cup of tea from the tray held by the attendant behind him, and placed it next to Han Zhao.

Although serving tea is a respectful ceremony for juniors, but seeing this clear sound, it seems to carry an unusual meaning: a threat and warning.Everyone's eyes focused on this junior for a moment.

Facing the attention of the uncles and elders, Han Xiu said in a calm and unhurried manner: "After talking so much, second uncle must be thirsty, why not take a sip of tea to slow down."

"... When the elders talk, there is no reason for you, a junior, to come out of the first generation. Why, you are not happy to talk about your jealous mother? Ha, when did the Jinyang Han family have such rules? I am an elder. If it doesn't work, you can't say that you can't say grandson's nephew and daughter-in-law?"

The second uncle is impatient, and it really is the best gun and the best target to use. As soon as he said this, Han Xiu could see the completely cold eyes of his father Han Yan.

However, Han Xiuyou felt that it was not enough, and continued to add fuel to the fire:

"The reputation of the boudoir is not to be taken lightly. Everyone in Jinyang City knows that Han Xiu's parents and husband and wife are deeply affectionate. Hearing this, I think I know that my father must be heartbroken. If something happens, the parents and children will do their best. As the patriarch, the father will It is inconvenient to argue as a shepherd of a prefecture. Xiu is a commoner with yellow hair. Even if he speaks out, it is out of filial piety. If he argues with reason, is there something wrong? Furthermore, if the elders are unkind, how can you blame the younger ones for being unfilial? When I was 16 years old, I learned for the first time that my Han family has such a principle of relying on the old and selling the old. Why did you grow up in elementary school, but it was "a gentleman who is gentle, courteous and humble" and "the elders and the young are harmonious"? Yes, maybe it is my Han family. The upbringing rules of the branch lineage may be different from others."

"You!" The second uncle was so angry that his head swelled.

According to the rules, the only ones who can speak in this clan are the historical sons, the sons of the side branches, or the second sons of the direct descendants, etc. Don't look at the second uncle's arrogant appearance now, but he is just a son of grandpa Han Xiu, just grandpa He loved his aunt a lot, helped his aunt to become an ordinary wife after Fa's wife died, and missed him repeatedly before she died, which made him a little different.

The second uncle has been living his life proudly for too long, this time Han Xiu will ridicule him for not being his son-in-law, but he will strip off the fig leaf that has been covering him all the time in broad daylight, making him feel that the world is so big that he has nowhere to go .

"Okay, what a scumbag, how dare you talk to me like that! Han Yan, you are the patriarch, this is your upbringing, your rules? Do you still have uncles like us in your eyes?"

However, the second uncle's angry clamor was no longer as righteous as before, but revealed a kind of stern and guilty conscience. He looked around and found that although the people who came with him were still standing by his side, the eyes that looked at him were clearly gone. With alienation and scrutiny, he was suddenly ashamed and annoyed, but he still gritted his teeth and "represented" a group of uncles: "Put the public first because of private interests, and then offend the elders, cultivate one's morals and regulate the family, how unruly is the son you brought up?" Unruly, I think no one in Jinyang City doesn’t know about it! I am a big Han family with many young talents, but in this Jinyang City, when mentioning Mr. Han, I never refer to you, the only son, so grand! So great! The official authority! I don’t think you are worthy of being the head of this family, Han Yu!”

Han Yan stood up in awe, his eyes were cold, and he looked around.Looking around at the good uncles with different expressions on their faces, they were either surprised, hesitant, or agreed, but based on Han Yu's years of experience in the ups and downs of officialdom, it is not difficult to see that there are not many people who are really "shocked" .

And in his heart, he also found strangely that there was not much loss in his heart... Maybe it was because he had been questioned repeatedly before, and he had already felt something in his heart!

"Is this your purpose? You all think the same way, thinking that you are not worthy of being the head of this family?"

"..."

"It's ridiculous, it's a pity. Since he took the position of the head of the family, he has put the family first in everything. He has been thinking about it every day, tossing and turning, lest he make mistakes. When he was a teacher, he never forgot."

At the beginning of the words, there was a sense of desolation and desolation, but when the words related to the proudest son in his life, thinking of the words of the second uncle, he finally couldn't help feeling depressed in his chest, and said with indignation: "That's right, Shi'er and the entire Han family are of the same generation. Everyone is different. From the day he was born, I knew that there was only this son in this life, so I placed high hopes on him. He has all kinds of preferential treatment that his peers do not have, but he also bears the hardships that his peers do not have to bear. Teacher has a photographic memory and talent Intelligent, but since he was three years old, he started to study and never slack off every day. He has learned everything from rituals to imperial numbers, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine, divination and astrology. The people of Jinyang City regard him as the only son of the Han family. But let me ask, besides him, who else is worthy to be my eldest son of the Han family?"

"Father calm down, mediocre people have doubts, it's not enough to be annoyed." Han Xiu took advantage of the situation and handed over a cup of tea, warmly reassuring.

He has a romantic air all over his body, his handsome face is calm, and there are thousands of gullies hidden inside.

When Han Yan looked at him, he was naturally satisfied and indescribably proud.However, in the eyes of others, the arrogance and arrogance in walking, the arrogance in gestures, and the carelessness in talking and laughing always make most people feel uncomfortable.

——For those who have deep pride and inferiority complex, Han Xiu's meaningful eyes seem to be able to penetrate into the most secret scandals in their hearts, making them feel ashamed. This kind of almost naked sense of shame is the real most unacceptable to them.

Does Han Xiu not understand this?Of course I understand.He can make the people worship the wind through inadvertent acts of kindness, so why doesn't he know how to make friends with others?But he just doesn't want to.Therefore, even during the period when Han Yan drank tea to calm his anger, he still had to use this hateful attitude to continue teasing these people.

Another mediocrity.

Harsh, sharp.

Han Zhao looked at the glass of water in his hand, always feeling an indescribable irony in it.He was puzzled, the young man's attitude was obviously contemptuous and arrogant, but the bottomless eyes seemed to reveal another layer of meaning.Did he know his plan?

No, that's not right, even that kid Han Yiqiu can only get a glimpse of it, he, Han Xiu, usually disdains interacting with people the most, so how could he come up with such a means?It must be here to spread doubts!

After thinking about it a thousand times in his heart, Han Zhao decided to retreat: "Brother, my uncles definitely don't mean that. Don't think too much about it. Do something that makes you happy! Your contribution to the Han family , everyone can see it!"

"Hmph, he doesn't disdain our group of relatives, Zhao'er, don't be so naive, listen to what his son said, mediocre! Probably only he is a genius from the Han family! His real relatives are not us, but the Lin family he insists on saving!" The second uncle said angrily, "Han Yan, if you are really capable, you can save the Lin family by yourself. Our Han family temple is too small to eat. Such a fate."

Han Yan closed his eyes and said exhaustedly: "Okay, if you insist on breaking your arms like this, I have nothing to say. I think what you want to say next is that if I am still in the position of patriarch , even in the name of Jinyang, in the eyes of others, it still represents the Han family! Needless to say, Han Yufei is a person who is greedy for fame and fortune, so why should I be attached to the position of Patriarch!"

"Brother!" Han Zhao said anxiously.

"Okay! That's what you said! If you want me to say that it should have been like this, even if Zhao'er is allowed to take the position of the head of the family, it will definitely be a million times better for you." Second Uncle said quickly.

At this time, the fourth uncle who was the most respected in seniority said, "Ah, don't blame us for being ruthless. Duke Zhou is still afraid of rumors, so you will be wronged for a few days."

"Fourth Uncle, don't worry, the position of patriarch is not so pleasant. Since he has already promised to step down, he will naturally not be procrastinating. He will open the ancestral hall at a suitable time tomorrow." .

"Wait!" At this time, a sentence suddenly came out from the crowd, "Then our Han family has fallen into the hands of the Jinyang prefect who is not the head of the family?"

The voice came and went quickly, but it made the field stagnate instantly, and everyone showed embarrassment on their faces.

He only heard the sound of overlapping cups and cups, followed the sound, and saw Han Xiu sitting on a wooden chair at some point, putting the tea in the cup to his hand, propping up his body with his palms slightly, and standing upright , Said sarcastically: "Glory and wealth are fleeting, what's the benefit of being a dog and a dog all day long? You all make things difficult for my father, I'm afraid the real reason is this sentence! Come on, send the Buddha to the West, you are looking for a way out, and we are going Why bother to stay, let our family of three be separated directly from the Han clan, then please invite my father to the court, please leave Jinyang and take root elsewhere, okay?"

Everyone was terrified and looked at the boy.

Just how courageous is he? During the whole process, he only said three sentences, but each sentence became bolder and more arrogant.

The young man's eyebrows are beautiful, and when he smiles, he looks like a summer flower, but with the coldness of autumn frost, he looked straight at the people who were staring at Wen Yan, looked around for a week, and finally looked at his father: " How do you feel, Father?"

Han Yan didn't think for a moment, and then he sighed: "It should be like this!"

The original anger, the original disappointment, and the original depression, at this moment, facing the free and easy smile of the proudest parent and child in this life, suddenly shattered into a piece of nothingness glass, fluttering for a moment, and turned into a star point Dissipate with the wind.

In an instant, all the clues were straightened out following the hinted words of Han Xiu, and Han Yan suddenly understood. At this time, looking at the chattering second uncle, the silent fourth uncle, and the worried Han Zhao , only to find out that the second uncle is just a puppet who dropped the line, the fourth uncle is pretending to be profound, and Han Zhao... is a hypocrite with a good face!

Why did this incident suddenly spread rumors, why did it harm the family, and why did it intensify? It turned out that behind all the accidents, there was already a hand controlling it.No wonder Han Xiu, who has always been cautious, is always rebellious and disdainful in his words. Yes, after seeing these people's scheming, I realized that in the final analysis, everything is just mediocrity.

He smiled faintly: "I want to teach everyone to know Han Yan's determination. If you want to break it, you should break it completely. Han is not talented, and he dare not provoke the Jinyang Han family again. Except for the dowry of his wife and his master, Han Then I went out of the house and separated into two sects. When I found a new root, I came to redo the genealogy. In this way, if our family gets into trouble in the future, and the whole family is copied and executed, it will not be as bad as the Han family in Jinyang."

Han Zhao hurriedly said:

"Brother, why should you be so decisive? Breaking the bones and connecting the tendons, we are all blood and blood relatives, and we can still watch and help each other in the future..."

"It's up to you, I've made up my mind, there's no need to worry about it."

The author has something to say:
