Knowing that this was the token of the Jade Pot Sect, the old slave was also shocked. He only felt that although the thin page of paper in his hand was not as heavy as a thousand pieces, it was a little hot, and he quickly folded such things neatly. , put it back in the envelope and put it away.
Although he wanted to keep out of sight, ever since he found out about this, he had been feeling uneasy in his heart, and his eyes could not help but drift towards the jade plaque. How can he say that he has been working in the Feng family for many years, but he has no idea when the head of the Feng family got involved with the Yuhu Sect?
The head of the Feng family usually kept silent about this matter. Today, perhaps because he drank a few too many glasses of wine, he made an exception and opened up the conversation.
I heard from the Feng family leader that such things were actually in the Feng family before the old servant. It was just because the matter was so important that the old family leader didn't mention it to anyone. It just so happened that today was the memorial day of the old family leader. The Feng family leader was so moved by the scene that he couldn't control his emotions and brought up the past events again.
"This thing was left to me by my father. He wanted me to... use it to go to the Yuhu Sect to practice. But my father was in poor health at the time. As a son of a man, how could I only care about myself and violate my filial piety? So the revitalization of the Feng Mansion was I hope I keep it all the time, just hope...I hope I can leave him to future generations when the opportunity comes..."
"After careful calculation, Feng Hu has reached his age, but I was worried that the little guy would be reluctant to leave, so I didn't rush to persuade him! I thought about it all night yesterday. If the wolf cub is often tied up, he will only become a domestic dog in the end! Only Let it survive in the wild so that it can sharpen its fangs! It just so happens that there is a young man in the Feng family now, so I thought about letting them leave together, so that I won’t be lonely on the road of cultivation!"
"Huh?" Lang Yun, who was eavesdropping outside the window, was delighted. He thought that after staying in the Feng Mansion for so many years, could he finally be successful? If I go to the Jade Hu Sect Middle School and get superior skills, won't I be able to change cards and control dice at my fingertips? Then won't I be sure to win every bet and make a lot of money?
"Oh? I wonder which young man the master of the house likes? Can you tell the old servant?" The old servant was curious and asked.
"What I'm talking about is none other than what my elder brother told me a few days ago..."
Hearing that the head of the Feng family was seeking his father's advice, Lang Yun's heart pounded. He suddenly felt that the future was bright and he wanted to jump out.
"...That Ahong!"
The name Ahong was not unfamiliar to Lang Yun. He was exactly the name of the uninvited guest who appeared out of nowhere. Hearing this name, Lang Yun's ears were buzzing, as if his whole head had turned into a hornet's nest.
What he couldn't understand was that he had not received any attention in the Feng family for so many years. Why was this unknown guy treated like this not long after he arrived? And not only the head of the Feng family was satisfied with him, but even his own father was saying good things for him.
"Hahaha... The master of the house really has a unique vision! A Hong is a stable boy. These days, the lively personality of the young master has been tempered a lot. If he can stay with the young master, it will be even more powerful! Alas... It's a pity for my family That boy is addicted to gambling, and I'm afraid he will never be able to do so again in this life. I just hope that he won't cause any trouble to the head of the family!"
"Brother, don't say that. This kid Lang Yun is actually... quite eloquent... If he can rein in his horse from the brink, he may not be able to achieve great things!" City Master Shi finally figured out one of Lang Yun's strengths and quickly comforted him.
"The old servant would like to thank the master for his kind words!" The old servant quickly stood up and saluted, then sat back on the chair and continued: "The old servant once heard that the Jade Pot Sect has an extremely mysterious treasure. Once you come into contact with it, With such a thing, even people with mediocre qualifications can achieve extraordinary achievements, let alone a person with a natural intelligence like the young master! Once the young master joins the Jade Pot Sect, the strength of the Feng family will be greatly increased, the old servant said here It's an insult... maybe we can far surpass the Shi family by then! By then..."
"Hahaha... I've said it before!" The head of the Feng family smiled lightly and interrupted the old servant. "Feng's situation is very small. To be able to stand at this position is already on thin ice. If he goes further, I'm afraid that the mountain is high and windy. , in danger! What’s more, the Shi family is very kind to the Feng family, how can Feng do something to repay kindness with hatred? "
"The master of the house is right! I was the old servant who was rude!" The old servant hurriedly punished himself with a drink, and then apologized.
The head of the Feng family has regarded the old servant as a family member. The reason why he came to see him today was because he was unhappy about his father's anniversary. He asked the latter to express his feelings. Naturally, he would not be unhappy because of this. He just raised his glass and drank with the old servant.
"Master, have you ever had any regrets?" After three rounds of drinking, the old servant became a little drunk and asked what he had always wanted to ask.
The head of the Feng family stopped breathing, then filled up the wine glass and drank it all. He said with drunken eyes: "I do regret that I couldn't make the Feng family more glorious...but I can stay by my father's side when he is dying...let him I am not alone when I walk! So... I have no regrets! If I could do it again, I would still make this choice! There is no greater humanity than the great road of heaven and earth; the greatest humanity is filial piety!"
As soon as he finished speaking, City Master Shi finally fell asleep on the table drunkenly with a smile on his face...
Ever since Lang Yun outside the house heard that the head of the Feng family asked A Hong to accompany the young master to the Jade Pot Sect, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened, and a burning jealousy ignited in his heart, which made his head spin, and he couldn't remember what happened next. How to leave.
Since then, he has been living in a haze. Every night when he closes his eyes, his mind is filled with the gleaming jade plaque. Those rays of light were like countless sharp thorns with barbs, embedded in his heart, keeping him awake at night and making him lose weight several times.
One day later, he discovered that the head of the Feng family had left the jade plaque in the main room, so he secretly stole it while no one was noticing.
But the loss of this jade token was not a trivial matter. As soon as the head of the Feng family found out, he was very angry and sent people to search the whole house.
Lang Yun knew that he had caused big trouble, so he was about to pack his things and sneak away. However, he didn't expect that his father caught him as soon as he packed the packages.
At first, the old servant thought that Lang Yun was addicted to gambling again, so he gave him a good lesson. However, there were important things at hand at this time, so the old servant was too lazy to pay attention to him.
But just as the two of them passed each other, the jade token in Lang Yun's arms slipped from his waist and clattered to the ground along his trouser legs.
When the old servant saw this, he was furious: "Beast! Fortunately, Master Feng doesn't mind and keeps you here. This is how you repay him! Hurry up and take the jade token with me to apologize!"
Lang Yun did not expect such a thing to happen, and was shocked and frightened. He quickly knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy: "Father! The Feng family master is really angry this time. If I return the jade token now, the Feng family master will definitely You won’t let me go lightly! Dad! I’m your son! You can’t just die without saving me!”
The old servant's face was gloomy and uncertain, and a hint of tiredness suddenly appeared on his originally dignified face. In this short period of time, he seemed to have suddenly aged several years. The old servant hunched over and picked up the jade plaque on the ground, his cloudy eyes full of bitterness: "What evil have I done! That's all, you go down the mountain and hide, and I will figure out the rest!"
After hearing this, Lang Yun felt as if he had been granted amnesty, and hurriedly came to the city at the foot of the mountain to hide. However, after several days passed, there was not even the slightest sign of anything strange in the Feng Mansion.
Lang Yun tried his best to find out that A Hong had been kicked out of the Feng family, so he took it for granted that his father cared more about him, and actually put all the blame on A Hong! I was also very proud in my heart, thinking that now that A Hong is away, if I can perform well in the Feng family, once I am appreciated, wouldn't I be able to fill the vacancy of going to the Yuhu Sect?
Thinking of this, he suppressed his excitement and secretly returned home under the cover of night...
But just as he closed the room and turned around to light the candle, he was frightened by the situation in front of him. He saw a disheveled figure sitting motionless in the shadow in front of the bed.
Although Lang Yun never believed in ghosts and gods, he was still a little frightened when he saw such a strange situation. He felt as if his legs were filled with lead water, and he retreated towards the gate with great difficulty.
At this moment, the figure on the bed also noticed Lang Yun's arrival, and caught up with him in a few steps, grabbing Lang Yun's wrist.
Lang Yun was about to cry for help, but he happened to see this person's face clearly with the help of candlelight, and said with a sad face: "Dad! Why are you here without rest at night? You scared me to death!" After that, he said again. His face lit up, "By the way, Dad! I've heard everything about the Feng family!"
This disheveled figure is the old servant, but compared to the old age before, his face now looks a little more sad.
"You're back just in time! Now that you've heard about it... come with me quickly!" The old servant's face suddenly became solemn, and a wrinkled, dry palm clamped tightly on Lang Yun's wrist.
"Go? Where to go?" Lang Yun looked confused and had no idea what the old servant meant.
"Where else can we go? Go and admit your mistake to Master Feng!" The old servant grabbed the wolf and started to walk out the door.
"Admit your mistake?" Lang Yun was even more puzzled, "Isn't this matter over?"
When the old servant heard this, he sighed: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself... maybe this is your fate!"
The old servant was impulsive that day and originally planned to take over the matter himself, but after calming down he realized that it was really inappropriate.
At this time, the main room was heavily guarded. If he returned it so openly, he would naturally need to explain.
But he spent half his life in the Feng Mansion, and he never made any mistakes during this long process! If he said that he suddenly got greedy and stole the jade token, it would be as rare as the iron tree blooming. Not to mention the head of the Feng family, even the cats and dogs of the Feng family would shake their heads. So, if you think with your toes, you can guess who did it.
In order to avoid the eyes of his servants, the old servant could only take a detour through the backyard, and unknowingly came to a remote place.
The old servant saw the wide open door in front of him, touched the jade token in his arms, gritted his teeth, and finally had an idea!
