The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"Listen to me."

Su Dingfang raised his hand to stop Wang Kang and continued: "Confucianism, the way of human relations, is the greatest truth, but I have been disobeying it all the time. What face do I have to call myself a master of Confucianism?"

"Grandpa, you are too serious!"

"Is it serious?"

Su Dingfang looked at Wang Kang and said, "You didn't say that before."

"That was..."

Wang Kang was a little embarrassed. Before his grandfather went to Yangzhou, what he said was indeed very sharp.

"You're fine."

Su Dingfang said again: "I have always paid attention to what you do, presided over the provincial examination, made amazing things repeatedly, and now save the country from danger... I am proud of having a grandson like you!"

"Grandpa... you?"

Wang Kang was stunned for a moment, this sentence showed his recognition of himself.

This is so rare!

Where was the previous conflict?

It was because he was not recognized, his father was a businessman, and he was a prodigal son, that they had no contact for so many years.

After so many years, my mother's face was washed with tears...

"I'm old, my time is approaching, and my life is not long..."

Wang Kang hurriedly said, "You can still live for a long time."

"No, no one can escape life, old age, sickness and death. Maybe it's when I'm about to die that I can understand this."

Su Dingfang said in a deep voice: "Before Yan State attacked here, I was still thinking about what to do if the city was broken. Although I have been writing all my life and never used a sword, at that time, I was ready to live and die with Qingzhou !"

This sentence made Wang Kang quite moved.

An old man of seventy years old has such thoughts and such courage!

This is the real Confucian!

They may be powerless, but they never lack the courage to lift a sword...

"Now that the Yan army has retreated, I have nothing to worry about since returning to Anding. The only thing I regret is... I want your mother's forgiveness, and the family relationship is complete!"

When Su Dingfang said these words, his body was trembling.

A rotten Confucian has recognized the truth of death all his life, but now he is relieved, what kind of courage is needed to make him do this.

Perhaps there is one biggest reason.

Perhaps, he really had a premonition that his time was approaching...

Wang Kang's heart was filled with grief.

Looking at the grandfather in front of him, no matter how pedantic he was or what he had done, he could no longer afford to complain.

At this moment, he is just an old man, a lonely old man.

Because his family relationship is not perfect.

Maybe he's been thinking about it all the time, even blaming himself a little bit.

Wang Kang's eyes were slightly red, and then he said: "You don't need to ask my mother to forgive me, because...she never blamed you!"

"really?"

Su Dingfang's withered hands were tightly gripping the armrest, showing that he was not at peace.

"real."

Wang Kang said, "Mother never blamed you."

"That's good."

He seemed relieved and said: "This time to resist the Yan army, your father and I have been here for a long time, and we have communicated a lot. Your father is also a capable person, but you... mother didn't come... "

"Grandpa, I'm going back to Beijing this time, why don't you come with me, my mother is in the capital, and Bachelor Fang has told me many times before that I want to sit and discuss with you!"

Wang Kang said: "Qingzhou City has just gone through the war, and it is so depressed. Why don't you change the environment and have your mother by your side, which is also good for your health. What do you think?"

Wang Kang looked at his grandfather Su Dingfang nervously...

Chapter 834 A family!

In fact, the main purpose of Wang Kang's visit to Qingzhou this time was to take his grandfather away.

For a long time, because of the previous conflicts and estrangement, my grandfather drove my mother out of the house, resulting in the inability to get married, no contact, and there are still big prejudices...

And Wang Kang knew very well that every year, his mother and father would pray for his grandfather, and they would wash his face with tears every year.

And this is also the mother's constant regret, how much she hopes that the father and daughter will meet and reunite, and the family will be harmonious.

Wang Kang always remembers that he wants to fulfill his mother's wish.

Now that it was here, seeing that Grandpa had changed and had such a wish, he took advantage of the opportunity to propose it.

And looking at Grandpa's state, it doesn't seem to be very good.

If there is no reunion at this time, I am afraid there will not be much time. If that happens, how sad will my mother be?

Seeing that Su Dingfang hesitated, Wang Kang said again: "It's not too far from Qingzhou to Shangjing. I will definitely take good care of you along the way. You should go, satisfy your regrets, and satisfy my mother's wish." ..."

"it is good!"

Su Dingfang said: "Otherwise I'm afraid I don't have time, I... will go with you!"

Hearing this affirmative answer, Wang Kang was naturally very happy.

The communication this time went very smoothly, mainly due to the fact that Grandpa has changed a lot, which made Wang Kang happy and sad at the same time...

Obviously, grandpa is already on his deathbed, and he should have a feeling to figure it out.

All said and done.

The distance between the two is also getting closer, as if they have returned to the normal relationship between grandpa and grandson.
