Alexei was stunned. He originally thought that he would be ridiculed mercilessly by his old father, ridiculing him for talking too much, being too good-looking and too weak-minded, and ridiculing him for being a braggart.
But it was not like this at all. There was nothing there, no sarcasm, not even the old father was happy at all. Instead, there was only care and worry in his eyes.
At that moment, Alexei's eyes became moist, and he realized his superficiality and unfilial piety. No matter how strict a father is to his son, his starting point is always love. He will never gloat when his son opposes him and fails. Instead, he will only take pleasure in others' misfortune.
Endless concern.
Alexey's eyes immediately became moist, and he felt deeply that he was really wrong, and how wrong he was.
It’s just that Count Speransky didn’t say much at that time, not a single superfluous word, as if he hadn’t seen Alexei’s failure, as if nothing had happened. Until after dinner, when the father and son sat down to chat,
Count Speransky said slowly:
"Your idea is good, but you do things too hastily. Not everyone is as anxious as you are, and not everyone understands your thoughts. No matter what you do, the most important thing is to be anxious. The more anxious you are, the more anxious you are.
The easier it is to have problems!"
"Step by step, take the first step before taking another step. Walking step by step is better than running around and breaking your leg and not being able to get up!"
At that time, Alexey thought that his starting point was fine, but his way of doing things was too hasty. But today, after chatting with Li Xiao, he couldn't help but think of his father's warning that day. It seemed that there were many words that his father did not understand.
Say it completely.
[Can’t you say it? Or do I not understand it even if you say it? 】
After thinking for a moment, Alexey found the root cause. I'm afraid the fact is that even if his father said it, he wouldn't listen. Because he was a middle-schooler at that time and didn't realize his problem at all. In fact, what he did at that time
Things are not always right or good. When he looked back a few years later, he realized that sometimes he was just wishful thinking and thought he was good.
It's just that Count Speransky had already passed away at that time. Even if he discovered his naivety, Alexey didn't think deeply about it. But now that he thought about it all, he realized that many of his father's words were actually about lust.
I hesitated to speak, or I wanted to tell him but was afraid that he wouldn't listen, so I deliberately spoke so vaguely.
Now that I think about it, Count Speransky probably knew from the beginning that the things he wanted to do could not be done and that it was impossible to succeed, but he was worried about dampening his enthusiasm.
Basically, it is telling him that things are not done that way. The most important thing to do is to be greedy for perfection and think you are good.
At this moment, Alexey's heart was full of regret, and he realized that he had missed too many precious things. It was because of his naivety that his father was probably full of worry when he left.
He thought about the things he had done over the years. Many of them were making the same mistakes, and the old relationships left behind by his father were still helping him wipe his ass. Without those relationships, he, a foolish young man, would not be able to do anything.
I'm afraid I've already gone to Siberia to repair the earth.
This couldn't help but make Alexey regret even more. The regret in his heart kept tumbling, and then welled up together. Soon his tears could no longer stop and fell like rain.
This scene made Li Xiao baffled. Why did he cry suddenly? Are you possessed by Sister Lin? Are you crying just because of such a nonsense? This is not like the Alexei I know!
Fontana was also worried. She had never seen Alexei cry so sadly. Why?
Just when the two people exchanged house numbers on their foreheads, Alexey wiped his tears and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry for making you laugh. Suddenly I thought of my late father. I was really too sad."
Childish?"
Li Xiao and Fontana were still looking at each other. They didn't understand how Alexey's brain circuit was developed. Wasn't he talking about Wallachia just now? Why did he suddenly get involved with old Count Speransky again?
?Besides, why do you suddenly feel childish?
Alexey wiped his tears and nose again, and explained embarrassingly: "Back then, my father also said similar things to me, but I was young and energetic and didn't listen at all. Now that I think about it, it's really unfilial!
I was indeed too naive!"
As he spoke, he looked at Li Xiao very sincerely and said affectionately: "My friend, thank you for letting me recall these most precious memories and letting me know where I have gone wrong all these years. Thank you so much!
"
Li Xiao was even more speechless, but Alexey's sincere look prevented him from saying a lot of things. He could only say: "You are exaggerating, I am just talking about the matter. What's more, the earl's teachings to you
, you will remember it one day and understand it thoroughly!"
Then Li Xiao didn't want to continue reminiscing about the past, and forcefully brought the topic back: "So you also agreed to my suggestion, right?"
Alexey nodded and said sincerely: "Yes, now it seems that this is the best way. Just do it!"
Li Xiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Alexei would be obsessed with assassination, which would cause a big headache for him. At this time, Alexei suddenly asked: "My friend, you and the Bretianu brothers
What is the relationship? I heard from Fontana that you seem to have a good relationship with them?"
Li Xiao quickly explained: "There is no such thing as a good relationship or a relationship that can be used. I used them to break into the upper-class noble circles of Wallachia and used them to cause trouble for the British. That's all."
"Of course, in order to act more like a person, I also have to do something hateful, such as plundering the land of Wallachia and intensifying the internal conflicts in Wallachia..."
Alexey nodded while listening. Actually, he didn't mean to ask Li Xiao for explanation. He simply wanted to know Li Xiao's strategy, because the other party was much smarter than him and almost opened the situation with nothing.
On the other hand, on his side, official support is still a mess. He just wants to learn from it, steal a teacher or something.
And Li Xiao continued to explain there: "Both the Bretianu brothers are not good people. They can be said to be out-and-out anti-Russian bastards, but if they are used well, it is meaningful. My idea is to continue
Use them to obtain top-secret information from the highest level of the Provisional Republic of Wallachia, and wait for opportunities to provoke, destroy the unity within the National Party and the Revolutionary Committee, and prevent them from forming a joint force..."
