Chapter 188 What? How dare he say that? It's outrageous!
The next day, early in the morning, Xu Zhenhua and others drove to the Lin family...
Xu Zhenhua's mood was very complicated, not because he was going to meet his parents-in-law...
Last night, the cormorant landed in the uninhabited area of the northern suburbs. He didn't see the city very clearly...
Now, looking out the window, recalling my journey from the west, it feels like I've traveled through several worlds: the poverty of the west, the poverty of central China, the bustling Nanjing, and now the bustling Shanghai...
What upset him most was that this prosperity was actually created by foreigners, by sucking the blood of the people who grew flowers...
Clenching his fists, Xu Zhenhua secretly swore, "Now that I'm here, those Western powers will only have the right to speak to me on their knees."
I'll teach you a lesson: war takes more than just swords and spears. The strongest point of a nation's culture is its rich cultural heritage. Great powers, wait! It's time to pay your debts. I'll show you a whole new way of warfare. Like a frog in boiling water, I'll drain your war potential...
...
Soon, the convoy entered the Lin Mansion...
As soon as Lin Wanshuang got home, she ran to see her mother...
Xu Zhenhua was left in the living room. He sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and lit a cigarette...
He felt a little surprised. He hadn't expected the Lin family to be so powerful. As he entered the gate, he noticed that the Wanshuang family actually had a single-family house surrounded by a large garden. Owning such a large plot of land on Xiafei Road was a testament to their strength...
The Lin Mansion, in particular, boasts a rich artistic heritage. The French white marble-style main building, combined with the sculptures and fountains in the garden, is truly a delight to the eyes...
The key is the unique sophistication of Shanghainese. Xu Zhenhua glanced at the flowers on the coffee table, the paintings on the wall, the ornaments on the fireplace, etc.
Everything shows the owner's taste and refinement as an upper-class person...
Unfortunately, in Xu Zhenhua's eyes, all of this was still too low-class. There was nothing he could do. No matter how sophisticated he was, the limitations of the times were there. In the future, the bathroom of any five-star hotel would look more luxurious than the top hotels of this era...
--------
The door to the study on the second floor was closed, but the terrace door on the other side was open, and the long white curtains swayed gently...
At the desk on one side of the study, Lin Chaohui leaned slightly, his posture very respectful, quietly watching his father write...
Soon, I put down my pen...
Lin Chaohui had been waiting impatiently.
"Dad, didn't you agree last night? You also said a long time ago that you support free love... Let Wanshuang decide her own marriage and find a partner that suits her... Zhenhua has been waiting for a while, you can't just leave him alone like this?"
Lin Guoyang acted as if he didn't hear it. He leaned over and blew gently until the ink on the paper dried up. He nodded in satisfaction and then spoke slowly.
"Zhaohui, you're right. I hope you can find happiness with each other. I also believe in Shuangshuang's vision, and I also believe in your judgment..."
"This? Dad, since you said that, why are you still unwilling to see Zhenhua?"
"Alas! You don't have a daughter, you don't understand..."
After saying this, Lin Guoyang looked out the window, his eyes slowly stagnating...
When it comes to his beloved daughter Shuangshuang, Lin Guoyang is both angry and loving. He's angry because she ran away without even saying goodbye... Fortunately, God blesses her, she's safe and sound...
After the anger subsided, only love remained in his heart. From the moment she was born, her every smile and frown touched her old father's heart. When she cried, it felt like a knife was stabbing his heart. When she smiled, he felt like the happiest father in the world...
Especially Shuangshuang's nature is very lovable. I remember when she was little, she fell and cried loudly... Then the servant was punished...
Unexpectedly, Shuangshuang rarely cried after that. Later, Lin Guoyang realized that his daughter was very kind and didn't want the servants to be punished because of her...
So more pampered...
A gust of wind blew by, and the white gauze was lifted high. Lin Guoyang picked up the calligraphy on the table and handed it to his son.
"Go show it to Xu Zhenhua and ask him what he thinks."
"Dad, why did you let Zhenhua read the Lin family's ancestral precepts? This?"
"Hey! You idiot! Didn't you say the Lin family was going to join Pingnan? Since you've praised Xu Zhenhua so highly, I'd like to see what he thinks."
Lin Chaohui left, but Lin Guoyang stood there in a daze.
He hadn't slept all night last night. He knew his daughter would eventually marry, but he hadn't imagined it would come so soon. Upon learning his daughter had already registered her marriage, he felt a pang of emptiness, as if his treasure had been stolen...
You can swallow up the Lin family, but it’s impossible to trick Shuangshuang away so easily. I just want to make things difficult for you!
Especially the ancestral precepts. Many wise men in Shanghai have expressed their opinions, including many famous scholars. Xu Zhenhua, no matter how great you are, can you be better than those literary masters?
------
In the living room, Lin Chaohui sat on the other side, looking very embarrassed, while Xu Zhenhua, holding the rice paper, had a blank expression, but in his heart he was both surprised and annoyed...
Surprisingly, the Lin family is actually a branch of the lineage of Humen's Lin. Now I understand why the Lin family is so stubborn and content with living a simple life. Why does Ah Hong always say that the Lin family would rather die than live in disgrace? Why is Wan Shuang so gentle and yet so resolute and upright? She is a descendant of a famous family...
I'm so annoyed. Damn it! I just want to get a wife! Why are there endless tests? I knew women would slow down my sword-drawing speed, and sure enough!
Xu Zhenhua really wants to ask, is it possible to return the product within seven days without giving any reason?
Oh, damn, it's already been seven days!
Never mind, the knife always needs sharpening. Xu Zhenhua returned his mind to the paper, and before him were several lines of beautiful running script...
"If it is beneficial to the country, I will not avoid it because of misfortune or fortune.
Tolerance is the greatest virtue for eternity; to be without desire is the strongest teacher for eternity.
The first sentence came from the world-famous Lord Lin. When I first saw Xu Zhenhua, I couldn't help but feel respect for him. He was willing to disregard his own life and death for the benefit of the country.
The latter sentence comes from the summary of Zuo Zhuan and Laozi. In fact, the two sentences are quite contradictory when put together. "Tolerance is greatness" refers to the heart of a gentleman, while "no desire is strength" refers to the way of a sage...
But Xu Zhenhua saw the wisdom of Master Lin, which was a great hope for future generations: first be a gentleman, then aspire to be a saint...
He is indeed worthy of being the national hero of flower planting!
I sighed secretly, this level is not easy to pass!
Previously, dealing with Lin Chaohui was primarily a test of tactics and strategy. Now, this family motto is different. On the surface, it's a test of literary talent, but in reality, it's a clash of ideas. A single disagreement can lead to an endless debate...
For example, flower cultivation has been passed down for 5,000 years, and various ideas have blossomed like summer flowers. The debates among the Hundred Schools of Thought have not completely ceased until now. There is no way around it, the old problem of flower cultivation is that scholars look down on each other...
Thinking of this, Xu Zhenhua complained to his father-in-law. I just lent your daughter to you for a few decades, it's not like you won't return her. I said she would still be a child next year, so why did you do this to her?
Forget it, this is a good opportunity for you to see what your son-in-law is capable of. There is no other way, this is your own fault. Feel the mental crushing!
"Big brother..."
--------
In the study, Lin Chaohui came back hurriedly, his face full of hesitation.
After a while, Lin Guoyang slammed the table and stood up, furious.
"What? How dare he say that? It's outrageous!"
Lin Chaohui on the other side was about to cry, with those words still lingering in his mind!
"No wonder the Lin family's fortunes in Shanghai have declined further and further..."
