Chapter 967 Relatives
When meeting Shen Wentian, even though Shen Hao was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart. The other party's eyes, expressions, words, body movements, every detail was impeccable, and the normal and real "relatives reunited after a long time" Excitement and joy were on display.
Crying with joy is a routine operation, and the performance is neither exaggerated nor appropriate. Anyway, with Shen Hao's insight and vision, he can't find any clues from Shen Wentian alone. Even in appearance, he himself feels that he and the other party have three or four points of hanging portraits.
In this regard, Feilong responded, saying that Shen Wentian did have a disguised massage technique in his hands. In the early years, he relied on this technique to make a living, and he was the one who cheated and cheated people for so many years, but finally he was able to wash his hands and return home. And the reason for not being noticed by others is because his appearance is always adjusted and changed in subtle ways, and others may not recognize it as real.
In addition, according to the news obtained and fed back by the Sky Eyes installed in the air conditioners in Shen's family, some details did show that some of the Shen's family had made some adjustments in appearance.
Information comes first, and Shen Hao has a good grasp of the details of the Shen family. Knowing that only Shen Wentian and the main sons of the Shen family are "defrauded", the rest of the grandchildren or other members of the family are "deceived". Contact relatives of many years.
"Nephew has met uncle!" Shen Hao saluted Shen Wentian who was showing his acting skills as soon as he entered the door, and he bowed to the end, which was considered polite.
"Get up! Let uncle take a good look! Tsk, it looks like it! It looks like it! I finally found you!" Shen Wentian's old eyes were filled with tears, as if he remembered his "third brother who died", that is, Shen Hao's "father" .
Shen Hao's acting skills are actually good, but they can't compare to someone like Shen Wentian who eats professional food. In addition, he has no experience in the interpretation of this kind of family relationship, so he didn't deliberately follow Shen Wentian's routine, but expressed She looked a little numb, and there was just a touch of softness in her eyes.
This was carefully considered by Shen Hao before coming here. His current external image and temper can help him a lot. How could a cold-faced and ruthless "evil star" be such a warm and emotional person? Even lost and found relatives can't and shouldn't be too close and affectionate. Among them, Shen Hao thought for a while and thought that according to his appearance when facing Wang Jian and Feilong's confidantes, adding some kindness should be almost the same.
Therefore, Shen Hao's behaviors such as greeting with a smile, nodding, and saluting in Shen's house do not arouse suspicion, and even everyone thinks this is a reasonable expression. Some Shen family members are still relieved in their hearts. Shen Hao's current kindness In fact, it was much better than they imagined before.
Originally, Shen Hao's reputation is not good outside, and the word evil star is very telling. What's more, Shen Hao's deeds are basically piled up with bloody human heads, and even a little understanding will associate him with words like "vicious and evil". So I was worried that this big brother's relative would bring prestige to the family when he came to the house, but now it seems that it was all a false alarm.
Shen Wentian was the only old man in the Shen family, and the rest were from the second and third generations of the Shen family, so Shen Wentian was the only one who needed Shen Hao to salute and say hello. After the brothers and sisters get to know each other, they follow the custom and recognize their ancestors.
The appearance, name, and spiritual position of the ancestors are the so-called "ancestor recognition", that is, to know one's ancestors, to understand some of their achievements to the family, and the rise and fall of modern families. For example, the famine that swept across most of Jingzhong more than 20 years ago was the focus of what Shen Wentian told Shen Hao this time.
After all, Shen Hao was still too young more than 20 years ago, just a child, the things in his memory are not clear, and many things need to be told by others.
Where was Shen Hao twenty years ago? How about in another world! His well-known experiences are all made up by himself based on the dictation of some fleeing people back then. In essence, in terms of background, he is also "deceiving" more people, and even the actions of the liars like Shen Wentian in front of him are all based on the lies of his background. That's why Shen Hao felt "funny" in his heart.
After the etiquette of "recognizing ancestors" is completed, it is "returning to the clan".
The so-called returning to the clan is actually adding one's own name to the family tree. The genealogy is then placed in a small temple dedicated to the family ancestors.
It is said to be a temple, but it is actually just a slightly larger tile-roofed house. It is just behind the Shen family. It looks quite old, and it is smaller than the ancestral halls of ordinary people. However, considering that the Shen family is not big now, this kind of Small temples are enough.
"It's a little old, and it's too small." After Shen Hao came out from the inside, he said something to Shen Wanjun beside him. Although he "recognized" a relative and entered someone else's genealogy just now, there was no disturbance in his heart. He was acting, whether it was true or false, as long as he knew it in his heart, he would not be deceived by the scam.
But there are still some things that should be there. For example, according to Hu Tian, returning home requires construction, at least renovating the ancestral home or expanding the homestead, which is actually a very important part of "returning home".
At the same time, he also wanted to see what benefits the Shen family would ask for after he spoke.
"Hehe, brother Hao thinks he's too small? In fact, it's okay? A few years ago, our family didn't have the conditions we have now, and the ancestral temple is only half the size of today, and it's very crowded inside. When we pay homage to our ancestors, we little ones can only stand outside the door. The ancestors should live comfortably in such a big house nowadays.
Of course, if Haodi you have an idea, you can say it, we will listen to you. "Shen Wanjun replied with a smile. According to Shen Wentian's previous explanation, he should not ask for benefits from Shen Hao. Even if Shen Hao took the initiative, he didn't take it up.
"The house is too small, you can find a way to fix it." Shen Hao pointed to the wall of the backyard, indicating that he could continue to expand the area of the house to the back.
"Brother Hao, in fact, someone from the local yamen came to us before, saying that the house in the back was intended to be sold, and the price was not high, and asked us if we wanted it. But my father refused. He said that the money should be saved first to expand the business. With the appointment of a new master, the building of the house has to be slowed down."
When Shen Hao heard the words, he stopped talking and nodded. This question and answer surprised him a bit. The Shen family seemed to be very smart, they acted like they were putting on a show, but they didn't panic at all. It seemed that they wanted to establish their relationship with him, the leader of the Black Flag Battalion, and then take advantage of it instead of rushing for quick success. The mess?
But since the Shen family has no intention, then Shen Hao is going to come by himself. It's just expanding the house, how much did you spend? There is no need for him to greet anyone, once the money is distributed, someone will naturally take care of it. In this way, his reputation of "returning home in a golden age" has been rounded up.
