People will have some problems as they get older, just like a big tree will have weird branches or burrs after it grows old!
When people get old, they can become stubborn or even paranoid, forgetful or even have a drastic change in their personality!
Xiao Letian knows that there are many and complex factors causing this, and a large proportion of them are indeed caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases!
Therefore, there is a saying in later generations: "It's not the old people who have become bad, but the bad people who have become old." It refers to the uncivilized behavior of some old people!
However, this sentence is actually very unfair. It is a bit like knocking down a whole boat of people with one stroke. The real understanding should be 'the old man is sick, and people who are suffering from illness are weird'!
Young people should not boast. In fact, when you experience long-term insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, chest tightness, breathlessness, and high blood pressure, those who can still remain calm, restrained, rationally analyze, and study hard at that time are really No!
In Xiao Letian's eyes, Fan Lian is indeed old. His hair has turned completely white, his skin is densely wrinkled, and his waist cannot be straightened. Although he is still in good spirits, he is followed by two doctors and a shift of nurses 24 hours a day. Nursing out.
Regarding what the old shopkeeper said just now, if Xiao Letian didn't believe he could say it four or five years ago, the old shopkeeper has never looked down on anyone because of his status!
But today it's strange, he actually pays attention to bloodline, identity, status, national constitution...all kinds of false pretenses!
Xiao Letian is such a smart person. He feels a little wary when he feels something in his heart, but he will never say it out loud!
"Haha, what father said is... But there is no rush in this matter. With your body and bones, there is no problem in living for another hundred years!"
"Flatterer..." Fan Yan glared at his son-in-law angrily, but turned around and smiled as happily as a child. Who doesn't like to hear flattery?
This smile confirmed Xiao Letian's suspicion. His father-in-law was really old and he could no longer hide things in his heart. The calmness of a middle-aged man gradually disappeared, and he could no longer hide his thoughts!
When you meet such an old man, there is nothing you can do except follow him and hold him in his arms!
Fan Qian laughed a few times and suddenly his expression changed. He leaned into his uncle's ear and whispered, "Xiao Letian... should my grandson's identity be revealed? You have been hiding it for several years..."
The smile on Xiao Letian's face became awkward. "Father! Wait a minute. Just after you cut out the flesh from Man Qing's body, did you immediately anger them?"
"You can wait until the permanent defense system of our special zone is completed! Wait, wait..."
Fan Yan's face suddenly turned ugly, and he wanted to reprimand his son-in-law, but at this time, the orderlies from the telegraph office suddenly arrived and sent Xiao Letian the latest telegram from Beijing. This was the head of state's rescue.
After reading the information, Xiao Letian smiled faintly and suddenly said, "A telegram just came from Beijing. Just this afternoon, when Emperor Tongzhi led the princes of the Eight Banners to worship their ancestors, he officially announced that he had pardoned the capital crimes of Prince Gong, Prince Chun and Prince Qing. !”
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and none of them could believe their ears.
Xiang Ying's eyes widened at the other table, "Is this... is this Zai Chun's character? He actually let go? Impossible, how is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible!" Xiao Letian glanced at his apprentice meaningfully, "The death penalty is exempted, but the living penalty is difficult to forgive!"
"Prince Gong and his son were imprisoned in Muling in the Western Tomb of the Qing Dynasty and went to keep vigil for Emperor Daoguang!"
"Prince Chun ended up better. He was imprisoned in the remaining courtyard of the Old Summer Palace, which is considered to be around the capital..."
"Prince Qing Yikuang...hehe...this one is even better. He didn't even leave the city. He was directly imprisoned in Paoju Alley..."
"In the final analysis, we are still of the Eight Banners lineage! It seems that Prince Dun's risking his life to protect is still useful..."
"Okay! It's almost midnight, and there's always a banquet in the world. If you still have the energy to continue Gao Le, I really can't accompany you anymore. Can you let me go back and catch up on some sleep?"
Xiao Letian joked with everyone in a humorous manner, and thousands of guests in Shuri Castle stood up and applauded to send the head of state off!
This year finally came to a perfect end. The Chinese achieved their strategic goals at this stage, and Zai Chun quickly resolved the series of power struggles with the conservatives in 1872 without any delay!
Everyone has come to the end of a stage, and when spring comes after the New Year, a new chapter will begin!
Xiao Letian rode a carriage to the Head of State's Palace, closely escorted by two teams of cavalry. The people along the way knew the medals and armbands of the Head of State's Guards Battalion, and they were also familiar with the Head of State's carriage. When they saw Xiao Letian coming, the crowd suddenly became excited. stand up.
Countless people bowed to the carriage across the cavalry ranks, and some old-school people knelt down and buckled their heads!
"The carriage of the head of state...Long live the head of state! Long live the Chinese people!"
Faced with the enthusiasm of the people, Xiao Letian could not remain indifferent. He opened the curtains and windows and waved to the people on both sides. His appearance on the brightly lit streets brought the festive atmosphere to its peak!
No one dared to attack the head of state's motorcade. Everyone gathered on both sides of the road to cheer, kneel and kowtow!
Amidst the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, Xiao Letian suddenly heard a very keen and familiar voice: "Dad...Dad, I'm here..."
Most people thought that someone's child was lost, but Xiao Letian's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked up and looked outside and suddenly smiled.
That was his sweetheart Fu Yin'er, who was being ridden by Ito Hirobumi on his shoulders. Fu Yin'er kept waving and shouting at Xiao Letian!
The bright gas lamp was next to the child, and the bright yellow light shone on Fu Yin'er's face. Xiao Letian's heart melted with love!
He nodded to Ito Hirobumi, and Togiya Xiba quickly whispered, "Young master... please stop shouting, let's go secretly to see the head of state!"
Under the protection of the guards, the group of people bypassed the alley and approached the convoy from the side with fewer people. The well-trained cavalry quickly separated to make way for an opening. Fu Yin'er jumped on the carriage in a few steps and got into his father's carriage. embrace.
Xiao Letian quickly closed the curtains. He held Fu Yin'er and sat on his lap. "Are you naughty again? Are you still not going to bed so late?"
"My mother said that I can sleep a little later during the annual leave... The annual leave of several years is a great celebration for our Chinese family... Of course I am a member of the Chinese family and I have to celebrate together..."
Hearing this little adult's words, Xiao Letian hugged him tighter. The father and son looked out through the gauze curtain at the bustling night view of Naha, the first city in East Asia to install gas lights that never sleeps!
Father and son were speechless, both immersed in this rare moment of togetherness!
Suddenly Xiao Letian was shocked, "Huh? Isn't my father-in-law old and confused? Isn't he old and stubborn? Has he been beating me secretly?"
"That's right! Everything he said at the banquet just now has subtext!"
