C2008 Old Man Gao's Warning
After seeing Old Man Gao take Claire's teacup, without drinking any of it, he dipped his index finger into the teacup and pointed it at Claire's forehead.
Compared to Mr. Gao, who didn't know how to learn, Glasses, a foreigner who wished for the traditional culture of the Shen Dynasty, suddenly showed a hint of excitement in his small eyes.
Claire also didn't understand. She felt a cool sensation on her forehead and was about to say something when she heard Xiao Zhanbo, who was beside her, chuckle. "Child, you can get up now." From this moment onwards, you will be the granddaughter of Gao Family. "
"Thank, thank you old grandpa, thank you nun grandpa!"
Claire was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed to Old Man Gao.
Old Man Gao chuckled and did not refuse. He calmly accepted Claire's kowtow.
Although Gao Fei didn't understand the meaning behind the ceremony of dipping his finger in water to touch his forehead, he understood Xiao Zhanbo's words. He knew that his wish had been fulfilled, so he turned around and looked at his glasses, and said in a low voice: "Congratulations — what are you crying for?"
From Mr. Gao's point of view, bringing Claire to Gao Family for the betrothal was just a formality. As long as Old Man Gao could admit Claire on the surface, then there was no need to conduct any ceremony, nor announce anything, and Yan Family would definitely believe that she was Gao Family's granddaughter.
After all, no one had been so bold as to pretend that they were Old Man Gao's great-granddaughter. Furthermore, with Gao Fei personally saying it, Yan Family must be believed.
Today, Claire only came here to make an appearance. Was there a need to piss her eyes out of excitement?
It was as if Claire really would become the foster granddaughter of Gao Family.
Glasses took off his glasses and wiped his eyes vigorously without saying a word.
Mr. Gao, who didn't know anything, didn't know why his eyes were crying, but he knew it very well.
Back in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Confucianism was elevated to a supreme status. The thoughts of old mister Kong were acknowledged by the whole world.
Glasses once read in an ancient book that a Hu girl had given birth to a son after marrying a court official. Officials liked this son with half of the Hu blood, but they also knew that the son's bloodline was destined to become an important constraint for future development (the mixed blood of that era was not savory at all).
At that time, the high-nosed, blue-eyed Hu Man was just a lowly person in the Central Plains, not even considered a human. Even if he became an official by relying on his own talent, he would still be looked down upon by his peers.
For the sake of others to accept his youngest son, this official went to Clan Head Kong and asked him to help correct his son's name.
Seeing that this official had done such a good deed for the common people, Mr Kong finally agreed after a long time of consideration. At the official's youngest son's first birthday banquet, he tapped the center of his eyebrows with a cup of tea and said that he would be a son of the Han family from now on, the kind who would use a pure and honest barb.
After Mr Kong had given the youngest son an order, no one dared to say that his bloodline was impure. What Mr Kong said and how he arranged the etiquette was the imperial edict in the era of the unique Confucianism.
From then on, if someone of impure bloodline wanted to be recognized by the majority of the Han Chinese, they would have to find a virtuous and respected old man and tap his forehead with tea (cinnabar was used by girls).
Without a doubt, in the current dynasty, Old Man Gao was worthy of the title "Honorable".
Even though the reason why he tapped the spot between Claire's eyebrows with tea was not to make people acknowledge her as my man, but this simple ceremony was a sign that Old Man Gao accepted Claire as his great-granddaughter.
Whether it was in the imperial court or abroad, whether it was his body that was special or his profession, he was a monster that was not accepted by the world.
The fact that he could have a normal daughter was enough to make Glasses-man. Now that his daughter was taken in as a granddaughter by Old Man Gao, how could he not be excited?
"Don't you know that people cry when they're happiest?"
Ye Zichen wiped his nose with his glasses and replied Gao Fei in a choked voice.
"Oh."
Mr. Gao thought to himself, "Oh, only a fool would cry if he was happy."
After Claire was taken in by Old Man Gao as his great-granddaughter, Glasses-man knew that the father and daughter duo had to leave because Old Man Gao definitely had something to say to Gao Fei, so he asked to take his leave.
Old Man Gao did not ask Claire to stay. He instructed Claire to come and play with this grandpa if she had nothing better to do in the future, and to let Gao Yunhua send the father and daughter out of the Gao Family.
Jack wanted to leave Gao Fei to give him a euphemistic apology, mainly to ask him what he was going to do in the future. He also wanted to see if he could make a trip to the underground lake to see the fourth generation Gao Family of his grandchildren.
In addition, he wanted Gao Fei to have a chance to bring Shen Yinbing home.
It was Old Man Gao's idea for Xiao Zhanbo to go to Jinnan and be Gao Fei's leader in marriage.
This already indicated that her Gao Family had completely acknowledged this grandson's wife.
Although Director Shen was currently the Great Chieftain of Greedy Wolf and was the representative of an evil being, since she was not the executioner of the case where the Sky Cloud Movement Trail was derailed, then her greatest sin would be cleared.
At the same time, the reason why Old Man Gao wanted Shen Yinbing to come to the Gao Family was mainly to convince her to disband the Greedy Wolf organization completely. If Shen Yinbing could disband the Greedy Wolf, then the authorities could only deal with a few sinners and the rest of the small fish would be released.
As for Shen Yinbing, the big devil of the past, what should be done to cleanse her, Old Man Gao had long planned this out. He had to say: The reason why Shen Yinbing could become the Wolfmaster of Greedy Wolf, was because she had the biggest spy assigned to her by Gao Family, and the main responsibility was to destroy Greedy Wolf. Now that Greedy Wolf had been dissolved, her mission as a spy had been completed.
Old Man Gao was quite confident that he could wash Director Shen clean for nothing.
However, Gao Fei's reply after a moment of silence was very unexpected to Old Man Gao: "Grandfather, she still can't dissolve the Greedy Wolf. At the very least, we can't dissolve this organization right now. "
"Why? "Gao Fei, do you know that this is the best chance?"
Gao Yunhua asked Old Man Gao what he wanted to ask.
However, Gao Fei did not answer Big Brother's question. He only looked at the silent Old Man Gao and asked softly: "Grandfather, have you heard of Liubo Mountain before?"
When Gao Fei rejected his suggestion, Old Man Gao was still unhappy. He had a calm face with drooping eyelids.
However, when Gao Fei asked this question, his grizzled white eyebrows suddenly twitched. A hint of coldness flashed through his cloudy old eyes, as if he was shocked.
At the side, Xiao Zhanbo's lighting of the cigarette also stopped, but Gao Yunhua asked with interest: "Liubo Mountain? It seems to be from our ancient myths, right? "
Compared to the unlearned Mr. Gao, Gao Yunhua's cultural heritage was quite deep. He immediately realized that this so called Liubo Mountain was one of the places in the strange book《 Classic of the Mountains and Seas》.
When Gao Fei found out that there was still a Liubo Mountain in the world, Gao Yunhua was sunbathing in the south sea. He only came back after Zheng Fu died, so for the time being, he didn't know what happened to Gao Fei after he left.
Liubo Mountain, Atlantis, cliffs, and hurricanes – Gao Fei believed that Old Man Gao definitely knew about these. After all, if not for the cliff at that time, it was still unknown whether he would have been able to sit here and be a lord.
However, Old Man Gao's reaction after hearing 'Liubo Mountain', was slightly out of Gao Fei's expectations. He immediately determined that not only did the old man know about Liubo Mountain, he should also know a lot about that place.
Just when Gao Fei was hoping that Old Man Gao could tell him what he needed, Old Man Gao raised his tea cup and took a sip: "I'm a bit tired. Gao Fei, bring that child (Shen Yinbing) home later. "Alright, go get busy."
Fear.
The word suddenly flashed across Gao Fei's mind.
Yes, Old Man Gao's reaction when he mentioned Liubo Mountain was one of dread: he did not want to talk about Liubo Mountain.
With Old Man Gao's current position in the dynasty, he should be a superior figure without any restrictions.
But why would a Liubo Mountain that even Lily dared to say something like that make him so afraid?
Gao Fei suddenly had a thought: Good boy, could this old man also be a deity from Liubo Mountain?
He let his thoughts run wild, but didn't dare to ask any further. He could only get up from the stool and say, "Okay, grandfather, I'll be going then."
"I'll send you off."
Gao Yunhua also noticed that something was wrong and stood up.
Old Man Gao nodded and picked up his teacup again.
"Come and see your aunt when you're free. Fishy really likes being with you."2
As an uncle, Xiao Zhanbo naturally wouldn't condescend to see Mr. Gao out himself. At most, he would only lift his butt, indicating that he was going to pull Mr. Gao down.
"Gao Fei."
Accompanied by Gao Yunhua, when Gao Fei walked to the door of the living room, Old Man Gao suddenly called out to him.
He turned around and looked at his grandfather.
Old Man Gao didn't look at him, he just stared at the teacup in his hand and slowly said: "No matter how much you know, it's best that you don't try to understand those things in the future …" It won't do you any good. There are some things that you can't casually interfere in and change. "
Gao Fei did not answer immediately. After a moment of silence, he said: "Then, what about Atlantis?"
In the legend Loong Yun'er spoke of, Atlantis were existences similar to Liubo Mountain.
Gao Fei could listen to Old Man Gao's words and ignore the existence of Liubo Mountain before Liubo Mountain provoked him.
After all, his wife was already there. Furthermore, those people had taken advantage of the time when Chen Guoguo was having a difficult time to give birth to to to to attack the wind mouth of Lou Lan underground.
In terms of emotions and logic, Mr. Gao would properly get to know the so called Atlantis.
He didn't want Old Man Gao to also tactfully warn him that treating Atlantis was the same as treating Liubo Mountain.
"Atlantis?"
What was even more surprising was that after Old Man Gao understood what he meant, not only did he not warn him to not cause trouble, he even laughed disdainfully and said in a low voice: "What kind of thing is Atlantis, it's just a few …"
Atlantis, in Old Man Gao's heart, what was it?
When he finished, he said it in a low voice, so Gao Fei didn't hear it.
He wanted to ask more, but Xiao Zhanbo waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
The Atlantis of the west simply could not be compared with the Liubo Mountain of the east.
When the old man mentioned Liubo Mountain, his eyes clearly showed fear.
But when it came to Atlantis, it was instead filled with contempt.
Gao Fei can be sure that Old Man Gao's completely different attitude towards these two places is not because of cultural, ideological and other differences, but because of his mentality.
