Chapter 216: Distinguished Guests and Connections
Chapter 216: Distinguished Guests and Connections
Early in the morning, Aunt Qin came upstairs and knocked on the door to wake up Shen He who was still sleeping.
"Madam, there are two guests coming downstairs. But Mr. Su and Dr. Su are out for morning exercise, so you have to go downstairs to meet the guests."
Su Jin has recently become obsessed with practicing Tai Chi.
He also felt that Song Jingcheng was too weak, so he dragged Song Jingcheng to Jiuxing Park to practice Tai Chi at six in the morning.
It is said that Su Jin also met a master-level Tai Chi master there.
Upon learning that a guest was coming, Shen He quickly got up, washed, put on some light makeup, and took the time to observe the guest through the surveillance camera.
Knowing that the host was not awake yet, the guest sensibly did not go into the house, but sat at the coffee table in the front yard waiting.
Shen He observed through surveillance that they were two middle-aged men.
The man on the left is a bit more burly, wearing a jacket, with slightly graying temples, and a righteous demeanor. Standing there he looks like a sharp sword hidden in its sheath.
It would be fine if you don't provoke him, but if you dare to provoke him, the sword will be unsheathed and kill you with one blow.
The man standing on the right was wearing a Chinese suit and had his hair parted back. He was about fifty years old, and his expression showed kindness and amiability.
These are two men with very different personalities, but they look 50% similar. They must be brothers.
Shen He even found a familiar feeling on their faces.
As for where this familiar feeling came from, Shen He couldn't remember it for a while.
After changing his clothes, Shen He came downstairs.
When Aunt Qin saw Shen He coming downstairs, she hurried to the front yard to invite the two people into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Shen He standing in the living room. The man with a kind face took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, Miss Shen, we are from the Jun family in Kyoto. My name is Jun Cheng, and this is my second brother Jun Jian."
Smiling, the man named Jun Cheng said, "You may not know us two brothers, but you must know our younger brother, Jun Lin."
Shen He suddenly realized, "You two are Jun Lin's brothers?"
Junlin's eldest brother was a politician, holding a high position, while his second brother was a soldier, serving as a vigorous and resolute colonel.
At first glance, they do match.
No wonder she felt familiar, because the facial features of these two people were somewhat similar to Jun Lin. It was just that they were older than Jun Lin and looked more mature and experienced, so Shen He did not associate them together.
"Yes, it seems that I have also mentioned us to Miss Shen."
"Of course, Jun Lin often tells me about his family in Kyoto." In fact, Jun Lin kept his mouth shut about the situation of the Jun family.
Shen He only knew that Jun Lin's Jun family had an extraordinary background, with one brother in politics and the other in the military.
As for the names of these two brothers and their identities, Jun Lin never told them, and Shen He never asked.
There is still some sense of boundaries.
"What would you like to drink? Green tea or black tea?"
Jun Cheng smiled and said, "The guest should follow the host's wishes."
Jun Jian didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.
Shen He said to Aunt Qin: "Aunt Qin, please make three cups of black tea."
Thinking of something, she added, "My grandma and her family will be back soon, so I'll make another pot of tangerine peel tea. The weather has been getting cooler recently, so Jingcheng and grandma drink a cup of tangerine peel tea every morning."
"Okay, ma'am." Aunt Qin turned around and went back to the kitchen to make tea.
Shen He took the Juncheng brothers to the reception room next door.
She lit a stick of incense, then walked to the sofa and sat down, asking Jun Cheng and Jun Jian: "You two came so early, there must be something important, right?"
"Jun Lin and I are friends, and you two are Jun Lin's brothers, so you don't have to be polite to me. If you have anything to say, just speak frankly."
Nodding, Jun Cheng directly explained his purpose: "Miss Shen, to be honest with you, my brothers and I came here this time to ask Dr. Su to come out and go to Kyoto with us to treat my old man."
"Master Jun?"
Shen He heard Jun Lin talk about his father. "Jun Lin mentioned to me the situation of Jun Lao. It is said that Jun Lao had a lot of old illnesses when he was stationed in the border city in his early years."
"You don't know the information I have, right?"
Jun Cheng nodded quickly, "You are right, my little brother. Our old man was stationed in the border city in his early years. The conditions there were harsh and cold, and he did suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. But these are not the most serious. What really worries us is his nightmare disorder."
"Oh?" Shen He had heard her grandmother talk about nightmares before.
Nightmares are mostly psychological diseases, and only a small part of them are physical diseases.
Jun Cheng told Shen He: "When the old man was in his fifties, he was in charge of a special operation. During that operation, our mother was unfortunately involved in the dispute and was beheaded in front of the old man."
When mentioning the tragic event twenty years ago, Jun Cheng's eyes were filled with tears.
"At that time, my youngest brother was only three years old, I had just turned 18, and my second oldest brother was still in high school. The old man had been holding on for the sake of the family, and it was only now that he was old and completely idle that the sequelae began to show up."
"The weather in Kyoto has turned cold recently, and the old man has suffered from rheumatism. After the nightmare attack at night, he couldn't sleep all night."
"Last night, I was awakened by a noise and saw my father crying while holding my mother's portrait. Only then did I realize that my father had never gotten over the grief of my mother's death..."
They all thought that their father was as strong as a steel wall and invulnerable to swords and guns.
But forgot.
No matter how powerful a father is, he is just a man.
As a father, he has to be strong and take care of several children.
As a general, he must protect the stability of China.
But as a man, he watched his lover being slaughtered, but in order to ensure the successful completion of the mission, he had to grit his teeth and hold back the grief.
How could he not feel pain? No regrets? No shame!
"As children, we are truly heartbroken."
"We heard that Dr. Su is a highly skilled doctor and can even cure Mr. Song's illness, so my brothers and I rushed to Qing City overnight. We sincerely invite Dr. Su to go to Kyoto with us to treat my father."
Jun Jian, who had been silent all this time, also spoke up at this time: "My younger brother didn't come with us. He said he didn't want to embarrass you."
"We know what that guy meant. He doesn't want to use personal feelings to morally blackmail Miss Shen. So Miss Shen, this time, our Jun family owes Dr. Su a favor."
Dr. Su has only one granddaughter, Shen He.
Owing Dr. Su a favor means owing Shen He a favor.
Jun Lin didn't want to show up because he wanted to take this opportunity to help Shen He gain the favor of the Jun family and build some connections.
Knowing Jun Lin's good intentions, how could Shen He bear to refuse the Jun brothers' request?
She sighed, "You two don't have to be so formal. The last time my grandmother went back to Kyoto to do some work, it was the Jun family's guards who accompanied her all the way. Shen He has always remembered this."
"Besides, General Jun has contributed too much to the stability of this country. He should have been enjoying his old age, but he is plagued by illness and nightmares. As Chinese children, my grandmother and I should go to treat him."
After that, Shen He looked at her watch and said, "Grandma should be back soon."
As he was talking, the sound of Su Jin teaching Song Jingcheng came from outside the house -
"Your posture is wrong. Didn't Teacher Qiu say that you are restless and can't calm down? What did you do last night?"
"You are not a 17 or 18-year-old boy anymore. Why are you so impetuous?"
Su Jin said, "Well, get up at 5:30 tomorrow and practice with me. I'll give you some special training, and you'll definitely be able to learn it right away."
Hearing that they had to get up at 5:30 the next morning for extra practice, Song Jingcheng was so angry that he dared not say anything.
Is it easy for him?
In order to have a baby recently, he has a very exciting life every night. He works like a cow or a horse at night, and has to go to the park to practice Tai Chi with a group of elderly people in the morning.
After being a sickly person for several years, Song Jingcheng felt a little overwhelmed by the sudden change to a fulfilling life.
He bargained with Su Jin: "I will study hard with Teacher Qiu tomorrow. Can you let me sleep a little longer?"
Su Jin rejected it outright: "How can that be possible! Among all of Mr. Qiu's students, you are the youngest and also the dumbest!"
"You look like a smart person, but you can't learn Tai Chi! Those old men and women are smarter than you, they can understand it at a glance."
Song Jingcheng laughed when he was scolded. He said, "They are old, so of course they have calm minds." Their hearts were so calm that they could hardly beat. How could they be impetuous?
Su Jin suddenly stopped and looked at Song Jingcheng suspiciously, and said thoughtfully: "Are your genes really good?"
"Our Miaomiao was admitted to University A on her own merit, so she must have excellent genes. Please don't let your child fall behind."
Song Jingcheng: "..."
Today is another day of being disliked.
Inside the house, Shen He overheard her grandmother's daily bickering with Song Jingcheng. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the two Jun brothers trying to hold back their laughter, and she couldn't help but blush.
"grandmother!"
Shen He ran towards the courtyard quickly, saying as he ran: "A distinguished guest has arrived, from Kyoto, they are the two elder brothers of the Jun family, and they would like to invite you to Kyoto to see Mr. Jun."
When Su Jin heard that a distinguished guest from Kyoto had arrived, he quickly put away his fierce look, put on a warm smile and said to Song Jingcheng: "You just got well, so you followed me to the park for morning exercise. You are such a filial child."
"Are you hungry? Go have breakfast."
Song Jingcheng acted with Su Jin. He said, "It's rare for grandma to be interested in Tai Chi. If you want to go, of course I have to accompany you. Besides, as a young person, it's good for you to exercise more."
The two men praised each other for a few words before dispersing.
Song Jingcheng and Shen He went upstairs to take a shower, while Su Jin went to the living room to discuss matters with the Jun brothers.
As soon as he went upstairs, Song Jingcheng hugged Shen He and complained: "Miao Miao, grandma thought I was clumsy today, so she used her Tai Chi sword to hit my arm."
"look!"
Song Jingcheng rolled up his sports sleeves, wanting to show Shen He the swollen marks from being beaten with the Tai Chi sword.
When he pulled up his sleeves, there was not even a red mark on the place where he was hit.
Shen He smiled but didn't smile.
Song Jingcheng touched his nose, put his sleeves back, and sighed, "Old people nowadays are so full of energy, it's scary."
“You know what I saw in the park this morning?”
Song Jingcheng let go of Shen He and pointed his hand in front of his neck. He said, "I actually saw an old man hanging his neck on a white ribbon, spinning in circles under a tree, faster than a spinning top."
"My neck hurts for him."
Shen He could imagine the scene. She said, "It's not uncommon to find hidden talents in parks. Young people nowadays are lifeless, while the elderly are full of vitality."
All the social animals who work like slaves look like they are dying.
After complaining for a while, Song Jingcheng finally asked the main point: "Who are those two people downstairs?"
"Jun Lin's family came to ask grandma to treat their old man."
Hearing this, Song Jingcheng's expression straightened and he told Shen He: "According to reliable information, Jun Lin's second brother will transfer to the Ministry of Public Security this year."
"The Jun family has a good family background, and Mr. Jun Er still has a long way to go. We cannot refuse this favor from the Jun family. As the head of the Shen family, you have to pave the way for Sri's future."
If Shen Sili can take advantage of the Jun family's connections, he may be able to be transferred to Kyoto after achieving good results.
"I thought of that, too." Shen He said, "Jun Lin didn't come with you today because he thought of the same thing as you."
Hearing this, Song Jingcheng praised: "Jun Lin is a good friend, worth making friends with."
"He also praised you for being generous and kind, and more reliable than my ex-boyfriend."
Song Jingcheng raised his eyebrows, "Really? It seems that Jun Lin has a good eye."
Shen He curled his lips, "Just be happy in secret."
