said that Gu Chong and his wife turned back to the main room, changed their clothes, and sent the maids down. Fan ordered everyone to be careful outside, and then he sat close to Gu Chong on the couch, and said with a smile: "Looking at the old man's expression, it seems that he is tired?" Or seeing the joy in his nephew's heart, and thinking of the aunt and wife of the Xie family in Jinling City, he was distracted?"

Gu Chong smiled: "Just you are clever and know my thoughts." But I can't hide it from you. What I'm thinking about at the moment is Jinling: my nephew came in a hurry, and he came back alone with his classmate's Xiao Zhang Xianggong, so I described it like this, and my aunt was only afraid or didn't know it. If this is the case, we should quickly send a letter to the sù, so that we can teach peace of mind. But the letter needs to be carefully considered. I'm getting older now, and my brain is getting more and more stupid, and I'm thinking about a sentence for a while, but I'm stuck in the middle of the road for a while, and I'm out of the middle of the day. ”

Fan covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "The master is really strong today, and he is only blindly polite in front of his family, and he is full of what he says is old and stupid." However, who doesn't know the deep brotherhood of the old man? The aunt and wife of the Xie family in Jinling are the sisters who agree with Lianxin the most, and she has been very affectionate since she was a child; although she has been divided into two places in Nanjing and Changzhou in the past few years, she has to recite it three or five times from time to time in her heart. Otherwise, it's just a letter to my nephew to report safety, a few strokes in hand, and the explanation is over, how can I worry about it like this?"

Gu Chong sighed: "The words are so good. It's just that you also know Mrs. Xie's. She was weak and delicate when she was a child, and she had a careful heart, and she had to look at the slightest noise for a long time on weekdays. There is only one nephew under his knees, not to mention his intentions above, how can there ever be a misguided eye? But he came here alone today, and he refused to say why. Now that we have sent the letter, it is reassuring to know the message from Nanjing, but if we only say so, I am afraid that it will add to her worries. ”

When Fan heard him say this, he knew that Gu Chong felt sorry for his sister-in-law, and he couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of the description of Mrs. Xie who I saw a few years ago, and working Xie Kai, I sighed for a while: "How unreasonable is what the master said." Mrs. Gu is such a careful person, and she is a beloved son, and now things are all in one place, and she can't say a little, I'm afraid that she will be wrong, but she is worried a lot. After thinking about it, he said: "I just heard my nephew's words, he came this time, he was with Zhang Xiaogongzi, and he was going to congratulate the uncle of the Zhang family on his birthday." This is a very serious event: one is that his classmates are good, and the other is that the Zhang family is a famous family. Uncle Zhang is the most talented and famous one in his branch. The nephew is now studying in Yangming Academy, and his knowledge originally came from Wen Zhaogong's house, and this time he came to pay homage to his birthday, which can be regarded as tracing back to the source. I can't find anything wrong with the rules and etiquette. Why don't you explain this section in the letter? In this way, not only will the aunt and wife read it, but she will be considerate of her nephew's momentary inconvenience, but even the aunt of the Xie family and the old lady of Jinling City will agree and rejoice when they know about it. ”

Gu Chong stroked his palms and smiled: "Your idea is good. Tracing back to the origin, if it comes to the relationship between the Gu and Xie families and the Zhang family, the original is also different - first of all, regardless of the great-grandfather and Wen Zhaogong, there is a friendship at the same time, only when Emperor Shizu did not have an heir, he ordered Emperor Ming to worship under Wen Zhaogong, and at that time, the Gu and Xie families each had children as companions, and they married a master-apprentice with Wen Zhaogong. The old lady who came to my Gu family was even more serious from the Rong family. It's just that the descendants of the Zhang family have followed the orders of their ancestors for three generations, and the Xie and Gu families have mostly entered the court in Beijing, and they have gradually become more estranged in the past few years. In the past few years, the master in Nanjing City has been thinking about cultivating the world again. And since this is in mind, I have to help my nephew speak in front of Aunt Xie. ”

Fan said: "No, although the nephew is not surnamed Gu, he is close to each other in blood and blood, and the affection is the same." This time, since I came from Nanjing, I had to pay tribute on behalf of both families. It's also an extremely cheap thing. ”

Gu Chong nodded, but couldn't help but say: "It's just that Kai'er is younger, although she walks around outside, she has never been far from her parents' homeland." These ushered in and sent, made friends, I am afraid that I don't know the severity, and I can't hold the proportion, if the two families have swept their faces, this is not good. ”

Gu Chong said, his face couldn't help but show some troubled looks. I didn't want Fan to laugh when he heard this, and said, "If you want to be young, isn't your nephew twenty years old two years earlier? Mingyang Academy has also been in the academy for three or four years, and he is already an adult." Now although it is the first time for him to do something important, he has the old man on the side to take care of him, and he tells him all kinds of important things up and down, big and small, even if he wants to make a mistake, he is afraid that he can't. But the old man still said that he was worried. Isn't it too much to underestimate the younger generations?"

Gu Chong's voice was quite different when he heard her words, and he was busy looking at her face carefully. When Fan saw his gaze, he already felt that he was too preoccupied, and he went to watch the tea stove pour tea together. Gu Chong sighed lightly before he said, "It's not that I underestimate him." I just thought that my nephew was different from me. After all, he is a grandson, a golden and noble person, and his elders have taken care of everything, naughty mistakes, etc. Over the past few years, no matter how smart and clever a person is, he has developed an innocent temperament, and he doesn't know the sinister nature of the world. Maybe I'll suffer a loss, and I'll still not figure out how I hit the wall. ”

When Fan heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Sure enough, the old man is the most soft-hearted, and he can't even look down on the boys to endure hardships." This is going to change the old lady back then, since the child is young and ignorant, just throw it out and beat the experience. Anyway, there are elders in the family, so they go out to cause trouble, but they just stop it before it is difficult to clean up, but this lesson is difficult to buy. I remember that the lord had taught his son-in-law this earlier, but now he is so kind. ”

When Gu Chong heard her talk about the back, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You came to make fun of me again." Isn't that what people are? It's probably when you reach an age that your mind is different. In the past, I also thought that the boys should be sharpened if they had rough skin and thick flesh, but now I just want him to be safe and smooth. Besides, how can the son be compared to the grandson? If nothing else, just the two monkey cubs in the girl's family, are you willing to teach a lesson?"

When Fan heard that his eldest daughter's two grandsons were born, he couldn't help but laugh for a while, and just argued slightly, "My woman's family is naturally different from your man's family." After the husband and wife drank tea, Fan Shi said again: "It's just that the first master said that his nephew was innocent, and he didn't necessarily know if he hit the wall. The nephew came to Changzhou with him in a boat, and he was naturally a classmate, better than others. But the nephew actually didn't know the true roots of his family, and he was hidden for three or four years. Although this is also their origin, the academy has its own scruples, and the nephew is careless, but I don't know about it for three or four years, I think about it, and I still feel that I can't figure it out. ”

Gu Chong laughed: "What's so incomprehensible and incomprehensible about this? The sons of wealthy families have always been doted on by their elders since childhood, and they are used to being praised and flattered at home and abroad, but they are always willing to find one or two people who have a clear flow of integrity, chivalrous muscles, and can be friends regardless of his status. If you have the opportunity to carry one or two on the eunuch journey, everyone will achieve great achievements in the future, and looking back on this season, it can be regarded as a good story. It's just that in the world, there are few arrogant people and many people who drill camps, and there are not a few people who have the heart to defect to this shortcut to the south, and they are gradually removed from the edges and corners by the power and wealth, and I don't know how many people have changed their nature. Therefore, the more high-ranking the children of a wealthy family, the more difficult it is to find a true friend from the crowd, and they do everything possible to put aside their family background and identity, in order to really see themselves in the eyes of others. And if you really meet such one or two, you will inevitably be happy and cherished, and then you will not care more and more about your family background - it is just the mentality of a young man, despising utilitarianism, and the difference between being a light and thin man, and in addition, I don't want to associate with others, and I am always limited by these things. The nephew in the academy almost never mentioned the words 'thanks' and 'Gu', and he was especially willing to associate with those students from poor backgrounds, which is for this reason. And he is like this, and the same is true of Zhang Hui and Zhang Huaiying over there -- thinking that Zhang Wenzhao and Zhang Rong, all the scholars and students in Jiangnan are known and respected, and they are in the academy where the Huang family is mainly educated in Qizhou, how can he show his name lightly? Others know his mind, and since he has less of this concern, he can be a little more comfortable in speech and action, and not be overly restrained: so he just goes with the flow. However, how can everyone really not know his identity in their hearts, and really treat him as such a poor scholar and a common student? Speaking of the back, I couldn't help but laugh.

Fan thought about it for a while, and sure enough, he smiled and said: "No, that chapter has the strictest style and teaches the most rules and etiquette, and there is no deliberate concealment of the truth of deception." But I thought it was wrong. Sure enough, the old man saw it clearly and said it reasonably. ”

Gu Chong nodded and said, "My nephew doesn't know how to return to the chapter, he only treats him as an ordinary child, and most of them still think that he is poor and poor, so he takes special care of it." And although he knows his nephew in this chapter, he is also afraid of those restraints and scruples, so he is happy not to mention his family background. The two of them are classmates, so good, but they avoided this together; one really doesn't know, the other doesn't know, and they get along with each other in words on weekdays, but they can't avoid suspicion, and they have been rubbing over the past few years. Wouldn't it be funr to think about it?" he laughed again.

Fan also smiled: "Why isn't it interesting? It's just that you have to know these inside stories at the moment." Otherwise, not to mention that children are innocent, and they are arrogant and contemptuous in their bones, they have to ask a rude and naughty question. ”

Gu Chong shook his hand at her and said with a smile: "Speaking of naughty, I'm afraid there are also some." Not only that, but maybe it was still the most reason at the beginning - how old do you think that chapter was, he was only eighteen years old this year, and he was even younger three or four years ago; no matter how calm and sophisticated he was on the outside, he was still a child on the inside. He is also the son of a family of poets and scholars, and he entered the pan and the middle school early, and the young man was proud, and the teachers in the academy also valued each other, and no one in the classmates did not flatter. When he met his nephew, how did he know where this was a solid child who came from, and he actually said what he should say, and he didn't have any eyesight; It's just that after getting along for a long time and knowing that the temperament is like this, I made friends seriously, and I used my heart to maintain it on weekdays. As for the nephew, although he is young and has a real temperament, he is by no means a foolish and stupid person, how can he not see the true feelings of others? Therefore, the two of them are really good now, and they were really Tao before. It's just that they are all people who read and understand etiquette, and the rules and upbringing are all there, and there is nothing to say about the etiquette outside. This time, Zhang Hui came to Changzhou with his nephew to pay his birthday greetings and salute his father Zhang Yangzhi, and there were even fewer fragments. We really want to ask him if he was deliberately naughty and deliberately concealed from his nephew, for fear that he would say that we were related and not loyal enough. ”

Listening to his last sentence, Fan glanced at him at that time and said: "Master, this is talking about me? Who is it who keeps saying that he has returned to the original child's house, so he loves to be naughty? Sure enough, ordinary people say the truth of the sage, only the heart of the villain speculates about the gentleman, and there is no gentleman's belly to be a villain." Gu Chong, who spoke directly, was speechless. Seeing that he didn't respond, Fan couldn't help but laugh again: "But the old man dismantled the matter clearly, and said that he was naughty, then he was." Zuo is just our own heart to know, and don't confront him back to the little boy. ”

When Gu Chong heard this, he sighed and shook his head, and said: "I just want to solve the doubts in your heart, only the last sentence is a little inappropriate, and I will be accused of being a villain, and I will not confront the victim, which shows how many wronged and aggrieved people are in this world." Before he could finish his sentence, the couple laughed at each other. Only then did Gu Chong get up, go to the outside room and sit down in front of the bookcase, take pen and ink to write a letter, so as to report safety to Jinling City.
