Chapter 2326: Serve the country with allegiance

Although Director Lu was Song Lao's secretary, his rank was not low.
Of course, if Director Lu had chosen to go to work in the province according to Song Lao's arrangement when Mr. Song retired at the beginning, his current achievements might have been even higher. However, he was willing to do a good job of serving and guaranteeing Song Lao all the time, so that now he only has an administrative level, but his real power is not as good as those of leaders in important positions.
This is why Xia Ruofei has always respected Director Lu very much.
Director Lu was still approachable and smiling. He said with a smile, "Ruo Fei, you are an honored guest! It is right that the director ordered me to greet you on his behalf!"
"It's too grand! It's too grand!" Xia Ruofei said as he handed the box of jade muscle cream in his hand to Director Lu, and said with a smile, "A little care, it's a gift for my aunt, it's not a respect!"
Ordinary people's gifts, Director Lu will definitely not accept, and maybe he will be severely criticized, but Xia Ruofei sent it, he didn't even refuse, so he took it directly.
Director Lu smiled and said, "I won't be polite to you. Ruofei, I will thank you for your aunt!"
"Be careful, don't worry about it!" Xia Ruofei smiled, "Wait for me, there are still some gifts for Grandpa Song, I'll go get them!"
"I'll help you!" Director Lu said.
"No, no, I can do it myself!" Xia Ruofei said quickly.
He opened the trunk, took all the gift boxes in his hand, and said with a smile, "There are not many things, so I won't work for you..."
"That's fine! Let's go in! The chief is behind closed doors today to thank you, and is waiting for you!" Director Lu said with a smile.
"I'm flattered!" Xia Ruofei smiled.
The two walked into the gate of the old house together and walked directly towards the inner courtyard.
Along the way, there were staff in a hurry from time to time, but when they saw Director Lu, they all stopped and greeted Director Lu respectfully before continuing to work.
Coming to the inner courtyard, Xia Ruofei saw Song Lao, who was wearing a white silk Tang suit, splashing ink in front of a book in the hall.
Under Xia Ruofei's constant conditioning, the old man's hair turned black. His long-term military career has made him develop the habit of keeping his back straight. Standing there with a wolf's hair, he is like a general commanding Ruoding on the battlefield, full of power. .
If someone who is not familiar with the old man sees him for the first time, they will even think that he is only fifty or sixty years old.
Xia Ruofei's mental power swept away slightly, and nodded secretly in his heart.
Song Lao's physical condition is indeed very good. Not only does he look energetic from the outside, but his internal organs are also full of vitality. Compared with his peers, he doesn't know how much stronger.
This is obviously the result of Xia Ruofei's long-term "tonifying" conditioning.
Xia Ruofei saw that Song Lao was in such a good state, and he was naturally very happy. This pillar of the Republic, who once commanded thousands of troops, was also the senior general that Xia Ruofei admired most when he first entered the army.
Xia Ruofei is willing to spare no effort to help Song Lao, not only because the old man treats him as his own and has no reservations about his goodness, but also because the old man's life experience makes Xia Ruofei feel very admired.
Xia Ruofei and Director Lu saw that Song Laozheng was splashing ink with enthusiasm, they invariably lightened their pace, and slowly walked to the door of the main room, and did not go in again.
Song Lao was obviously immersed in his creation, and he didn't look up to the door, only to see that he was full of momentum, and he wrote four big characters in one go to serve the country with allegiance!
These four characters are full of arrogance and righteousness, and faintly reveal the breath of gold and iron horses. Each word penetrates the back of the paper, like a silver hook and iron painting.
The so-called words are like people, Song Lao has been a soldier all his life, and his words also have a strong military atmosphere.
Song Lao put down the big wolf, and slowly looked at the four big characters he wrote. He seemed to be very satisfied. He stroked his beard and smiled.
Then, he took a smaller brush, dipped it in ink, and prepared to write the inscription.
Just when he changed his pen, Song Lao saw Xia Ruofei and Director Lu from the corner of his eyes, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Song Lao put the brush back on the pen holder, then smiled and said, "If Feifei is coming! Come in!"
Xia Ruofei walked into the main room with a smile on his face and said, "Grandpa Song, are you bothering to write?"
"Aren't I finished?" Song Lao smiled and said, "There is only one sign left, no, the master is here, I just finished the signing?"
Master? Xia Ruofei was slightly stunned.
Director Lu, who was on the side, cast an envious look at Xia Ruofei, and then asked, "Sir, this word... Are you going to give it to Ruofei?"
Director Lu has always been working by Song Lao's side, and the level of tacit understanding is naturally very high. Even Song Lao does not need to speak, he can understand the director's intention with just one look.
What's more, Song Lao has said it very clearly just now.
Director Lu did not hide his envy at all. The calligraphy creation itself is of a very high level. It may be because of Xia Ruofei's visit, Song Lao is in a very good mood, this character can be said to be super-level, better than most of Song Lao's past works.
In addition, the identity of the person who writes will also determine the value of a character.
Especially with the special status of Song Lao, and he usually seldom gives calligraphy to others, it can be said that Song Lao's calligraphy is rarely circulated outside. Upstairs.
Song Lao smiled slightly and said: "Yes! Just now, I suddenly felt it! It just happened that Ruo Fei came, and I feel that I wrote this character well, so I will give it to Ruo Fei! Haha! These four words ...let's work together!"
Xia Ruofei said happily: "Then many thanks to Grandpa Song! This is really a surprise!"
Xia Ruofei's happiness is not fake, the economic value of this word has no meaning to Xia Ruofei, but in Xia Ruofei's eyes, this word cannot be measured by money.
A founding general whom he respects personally presented the calligraphy, especially after he met Song Lao this time, he is likely to return to Earth next time, this old man is no longer in the world, in this case, this letter is especially precious .
"It's just a handwritten letter! It's not that exaggerated!" Song Lao said cheerfully, "I'll complete the signing first!"
After finishing speaking, Song Lao picked up the small brush and wrote a few words on the right side: Give it to Ruofei little friend for encouragement. Finally the date and his name.
When Mr. Song signed the bill, Director Lu had already stepped forward to open the seal box on the book, and had prepared several seals that Mr. Song often used.
Here, Song Lao had just put down the brush when Director Lu picked up one of the seals and put it down neatly where Song Lao pointed.
Then Song Lao personally went over and pressed it gently, and the red seal was affixed to the word.
Then there were several other seals, Director Lu followed suit, and soon several seals were printed on the word in a random pattern.
This is a complete piece of work, and it is an authentic work of Song Lao.
After Song Lao finished using the print, he took another step back, admiring his work with a smile on his face. He was obviously quite satisfied with this word.
Xia Ruofei stood aside and watched happily, feeling quite good.
Song Lao turned to Director Lu and said, "Little Lu, you can go to Rongbaozhai in person in a while, and ask the best master there to help you with the watch, and then send Ruofei to Liuhai Hutong Siheyuan."
"Okay, Chief!" Director Lu responded immediately.
Xia Ruofei said quickly: "Grandpa Song, you don't need to trouble Director Lu, I'll just go to the watch."
Song Lao smiled and said, "Let Xiao Lu go!"
Director Lu also smiled and said: "Ruofei, I am familiar with these things, and the real master craftsman from Rongbaozhai has rarely done it himself, so I can only invite it if I go there. Gao, you can't be careless about the watch installation, or you'll spoil your good work!"
"So that's the case... Then it's hard for you!" Xia Ruofei said.
"It's not hard! It's not hard!" Director Lu said with a smile, "I just envy you a little bit!"
"You work with Grandpa Song every day, there are many such opportunities, don't fight with me this time!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!" Director Lu was just joking. This was a gift from Song Lao personally to Xia Ruofei. How could he really compete with Xia Ruofei?
Director Lu greeted the staff to clean up the table, while Lao Song greeted Xia Ruofei to sit down at the coffee table next to him. The two sat opposite each other beside the tea tray. Xia Ruofei intuitively assumed the task of making tea.
He said while making tea, "Grandpa Song, I've been busy with some chores during this time, and I'm basically not in Huaxia, so I haven't come to see you, I'm really sorry..."
"It's all right!" Song Lao waved his hand and said, "Young people should be like this! What is it like to accompany an old man like me every day? Ruofei! I gave you these four words to encourage you!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face. He was busy during this time, but it had nothing to do with "serving the country with loyalty". He was busy improving his strength.
However, he thought about it, he worked so hard to improve his strength, why didn't he serve the country? In fact, the faster his strength improved, the more he put himself in danger, but he did so without hesitation.
Although he didn't know the details, but from the few words revealed by Daoist Qingxuan, Xu Wentian and others, he also knew the crisis faced by the Shenzhou cultivation world, and this crisis had already spread to the earth, and the deterioration of the earth's cultivation environment is a kind of Performance.
If the crisis is allowed to spread, then the earth will completely become a desert of cultivation, and there may be even greater dangers, and the world of cultivation on earth will be completely swept into the corner of history.
As for ordinary people in the secular world, how can there be no skin and no hair?
Therefore, from this point of view, Xia Ruofei's improvement of strength is actually a performance of serving the country, even greater than this, it can be said that it is for all mankind, this is boundless love.
Song Lao smiled again and said, "Ruofei, do you know the origin of these four characters?"
Xia Ruofei said respectfully: "I know, it should be from the allusion of the mother-in-law's tattooing. The mother of the famous Song Dynasty general Yue Fei used embroidery needles to embroider these four words on his back. I hope that he will always aim to serve the country. Slowly, it was gradually misrepresented. For 'serving the country with loyalty', there is a song called "serving the country with loyalty". It was widely circulated back then, so there are not many people who know about 'serving the country with loyalty'. Now there are many Yuewang temples in the country, but only Tangyin And the Yuewang Temple in Hangzhou is written to serve the country with loyalty, and the others are all about serving the country with loyalty."
Song Lao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Not bad! It seems that you have a solid grasp of historical knowledge. If Fei, I gave you these four words, naturally I want you to learn from Yue Fei. Of course, now is the era of peace. , and our country is getting stronger and stronger, and it has a killer weapon to deter any enemy, so you don't have to be as tragic as Yue Fei who lived in a precarious era, but a heart to serve the country is a must! Any one, only Only by remembering where you came from, can you look to a farther future!"
Xia Ruofei listened to Song Lao's words, just like hearing the twilight drum and the morning bell. The old man was obviously an ordinary person without any cultivation, but he was righteous, and the words he said also deeply touched Xia Ruofei.
From Song Lao's point of view, now is naturally a time of peace. Although there will be bloodshed and sacrifices, it will not face a precarious situation.
However, when Xia Ruofei heard these words, he felt completely different.
The cultivation world in China is now facing a huge crisis, isn't it like the era when Yue Fei lived? Even this kind of crisis is bigger and makes people feel more powerless.
If you are faced with a powerful foreign enemy like Yue Fei, and there are also various constraints inside, can you rely on your righteousness and not shrink back even in the face of the danger of falling? Xia Ruofei couldn't help asking himself.
Song Lao smiled and said, "Ruo Fei, this is just some random remarks by the old man. I'm just saying it, you can listen to it, don't take it to heart..."
Xia Ruofei said sternly: "Grandpa Song, your words are thought-provoking and have a great inspiration and touch for me. You can rest assured, I will definitely keep your teachings in mind, and I will never forget 'serving the country with allegiance' no matter when or where. Four words!"
"Okay, okay!" Song Lao said happily, "You are a very savvy child, and you can understand many things at one point. This is much stronger than Xiao Rui!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile when he heard the words: "Grandpa Song, Xiao Rui is about to become a father, you can't criticize him like that in the future... And when it comes to being a father, he is a long way to go. I'm ahead..."
"That kid..." Song Lao shook his head with a wry smile when he talked about Song Rui, the grandson who gave him a headache.
At this time, Director Lu walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Lao Song's ear, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
However, although his voice was small, Xia Ruofei could still hear it clearly. It wasn't that Xia Ruofei wanted to eavesdrop on purpose. It was because his hearing was so good now that it was hard to hear...
