If Lu Hanjiang only felt something was wrong on his side, then half the sky on Tang Jin's side had collapsed.
After being an orphan for twenty years, one day he suddenly heard someone tell him that he actually had a father. God knows how Tang Jin collapsed when he heard the news. His mind was also buzzing.
.
Moreover, this father seems to have a very unusual origin. He is the head of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Huang.
Because Tang Jin didn't know anything about the Oriental family, Lu Yuan gave him a good introduction to this part of the knowledge. As the second junior in the family to know about these past experiences, he refused in his heart.
How could he suddenly become a prisoner of the imperial court when he was a member of the royal family?
But even if Lu Yuan - or should call her Dongfang Yuan, no matter how ridiculous the woman claiming to be his sister said, when Tang Jin finally saw the middle-aged man who was seventy-nine similar to himself at Magnolia Villa, he felt
All hopes are so feeble.
There was no need for any evidence, because their appearance was so similar. Not only that, but the movement of blood when the two met made Tang Jin have to admit that the person in front of him was his long-lost friend.
Dear father.
Dongfang Huang is a man who is over 40 years old. He has a handsome appearance and an unpredictable light in his eyes. At first sight, people are amazed by his extraordinary heroic appearance. He is dressed in white and is not stained by the world.
It has a somewhat transcendent flavor.
Tang Jin stared blankly at Dongfang Huang in front of him, but he didn't know how to speak when the words came to his lips.
Dongfang Huang also silently stared at Tang Jin at the bottom of the steps, looking at each other without saying anything. After a while, he spoke, but his words were directed to Uncle Fu: "Let him rest in the east chamber first. If
If he needs anything, just prepare it for him."
"Old slave understands."
Seeing Dongfang Huang leave after finishing speaking, Uncle Fu's eyes were a little complicated. He silently came behind Tang Jin and stood like an inconspicuous pillar.
Tang Jin opened his mouth but said nothing. Seeing Dongfang Huang turn around and leave without any hesitation, some unknown fire suddenly rose in his heart.
He is still young, and he still has unyielding courage in his bones. Even though the official position of the imperial guard is gone and he is now forced to change his career to become a bandit, he is not upset, but he feels a little guilty, feeling that he can't live up to his elder brother Qin Yu.
But after all, he couldn't choose his background. His father was a prisoner of the imperial court, so he naturally couldn't continue to pretend that nothing happened and become a member of the Imperial Guard.
He had lived a lonely and homeless life since he was a child. Later, he accidentally joined the Jin Yiwei and was not welcomed by others. Among his colleagues, only Qin Yu and Gao Ming had a good relationship with him.
Tang Jin was used to seeing the cold and warmth of the world. Although his biological father abandoned him, he didn't want to resent anything. After all, after learning about the situation of the Dongfang family from Dongfang Yuan, he thought it was good that he was still alive.
But understanding does not mean that he will agree. Tang Jin did not resent Dongfang Huang for leaving him alone in the capital for twenty years. However, since he chose to recognize each other, why should he show such a cold face.
Tang Jin could not help but feel a little aggrieved. Even though he was used to being an orphan and had never expected any warmth from his family, he finally found the conditions and received cold treatment, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Uncle Fu led Tang Jin, who was in a depressed mood, to his residence. After a while, Dongfang Yuan also came.
Dongfang Yuan, who returned home, no longer needed the bamboo hat to hide her identity. She was dressed in ink satin and gold, with an antelope hair dagger draped over her shoulders, and white velvet tassels on the left and right sides of her waist.
She has a red sheath and a silver hook, she is cold and proud, her eyes are like the cold moon, and she looks a little older than Tang Jin.
"Uncle Fu, leave this to me. Father still needs your help," Dongfang Yuan said.
"Yes, I'm resigning, old slave." Knowing that Dongfang Huang had important matters today, Uncle Fu did not refuse and bowed before leaving.
Although Tang Jin was surprised by the sudden appearance of his sister-in-law, he was also grateful that the other party had saved him at the Beggar Clan's meeting. He also knew that the other party had a colder temperament, but he answered all questions with him.
It can also be regarded as taking care of.
Thinking of this, Tang Jin couldn't help but look at Dongfang Yuan in front of him, and after a while he looked away in embarrassment because this sister was too beautiful.
Once in the south of the Yangtze River, Tang Jin had the good fortune to see the world-famous third young lady of Huangfu's family from a distance. Although Dongfang Yuan's beauty was not as breathtaking as that of Huangfu Xiaoyuan, she was still enough to be called a beauty.
"Ajin, you will live here from now on. If you want to go out, please send someone to let me know."
Dongfang Yuan's attitude of cherishing words like gold made Tang Jin feel a little unapproachable, but what he didn't know was that compared to this man who treated other Dongfang family juniors with whips whenever they disagreed, he was lucky enough.
Tang Jin really wanted to ask why Dongfang Huang was so cold to him, but when the words came to his lips and he saw Dongfang Yuan's cold face, he didn't know why he couldn't say it.
But Dongfang Yuan was blessed in her heart. She lowered her eyes and looked at Tang Jin, and lightly opened her thin lips: "Father cares about you very much."
"..." Tang Jin was speechless and silent.
Dongfang Yuan shook her head again: "After dinner, father will take you to worship the ancestors of the Dongfang family."
Tang Jin nodded slightly: "I understand."
Dongfang Yuan said nothing more, pointed to the two maids and two young men who had come with him, and asked these four people to stay and serve him, then turned and left.
Although she was not good at words, she never said polite words. Dongfang Huang really valued Tang Jin very much. Only one thing was to allow him to worship the ancestors of the Dongfang family, which was enough to show his importance.
It should be noted that among Dongfang Huang's descendants, Tang Jin is the only one who knows that the Lu family in their Dongdu capital is actually Dongfang. Apart from Dongfang Yuan.
The intention of Dongfang Huang's move is obvious. Letting Tang Jin recognize his ancestor and return to the clan is not only an attitude, but also a signal. People in the world are informal, but the family needs inheritance. No matter how good Dongfang Yuan is, she is still a woman. Tang Jin's return
, I am afraid that the heir to the family head will be established.
Tang Jin knew nothing about this. Dongfang Yuan did not break down the secrets and tell him in detail. Firstly, she was not good at talking. Secondly, since she wanted to recognize her ancestors tonight, her father Dongfang Huang must have known these things.
Make it all clear.
The meal in the evening was very sumptuous. Only Dongfang Huang, Dongfang Yuan and Tang Jin were seated. In this Magnolia Villa, they were the only three who could be called the masters. The rest were servants, including Uncle Fu, who was just the housekeeper.
Dongfang Huangfa's wife died early, and he didn't bring any of his concubines with him this time. He also arranged all the concubines and concubines elsewhere, so today's dinner party was very simple.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very silent. None of the three seemed to have much appetite. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Dongfang Huang quickly put down his bowl, followed by Dongfang Yuan and Tang Jin.
Dongfang Huang glanced at Dongfang Yuan, who stood up and said, "Daughter, please retire."
Only the father and son were left at the dinner table. Tang Jin was a little nervous for no reason. Dongfang Huang stared at him for a while, then stood up and said, "Follow me."
Tang Jin followed silently. The two passed through several passages and arrived at the family temple. Uncle Fu had already been waiting for a long time. The two of them stepped inside. The altar table was filled with sacrifices and the tablets of the ancestors of the Oriental family.
It's all here.
Dongfang Huang pointed to the futon in front of the altar table: "Kneel down."
Tang Jin hesitated for a moment, then knelt down, and then he heard Dongfang Huang ask: "Jin'er, you hate me."
