Chapter 60: Father-Son Differences

Pan's front yard study

"Dad, why are you stopping me today?" Uncle Pan was very dissatisfied with his father's behavior at the banquet today, and after everyone left, the two came to the study. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before Old Man Pan's Xinqin's tea leaves were brewed, he heard his son questioning himself in a rough voice.

Old Man Pan waved his hand, "I can't mention this matter." ”

"Why can't you mention it?" Uncle Pan apparently disagreed with his father's statement.

Old Man Pan held his right hand in his left hand and sighed: "It's not a good match." “

If the two children are not a good match, they will become resentful couples in the future.

"Isn't there still a righteous brother!" Uncle Pan was unwilling and wanted to continue to work hard to convince his father.

"Brother Yi'er can't either." Old Man Pan lifted the lid of the tea bowl and skimmed the tea foam floating on the surface.

Uncle Pan wanted to argue for his youngest son, but was overwhelmed by Old Man Pan's words.

"Brother Yi'er is not that material." Old Man Pan sees it clearly, Brother Shan'er is too honest and soft, Brother Yi is too righteous and impatient, the child is a good child, but with Qingqing... It's not a little bit worse.

It's not that he has an overestimate of his granddaughter, but Qingqing's appearance and temperament, which his two grandsons can't deserve, and he even thinks that even the only seedling of the Ding family is enough to choke, let alone enter the eyes of the second son-in-law.

"But..."Uncle Pan grabbed his hair irritably, he knew in his heart that his niece's future was only afraid of more than that, his two children were indeed not promising, but a girl, the most important thing is not to marry a man who knows cold and hot, honest and responsible, in this regard, he is still very confident in his two sons.

If the niece marries someone else... Uncle Pan was reluctant in his heart.

He has four younger sisters and one sister, no brothers, Erniang is the closest to him, spicy and open-minded, raised as a male baby since he was a child, so Uncle Pan likes this eldest sister the most, and the relationship between the two is also the best among brothers and sisters.

Later, the eldest sister gave birth to Qingqing, and he fell in love with this little niece at a glance, with big eyes that flickered and always showed joy; The face is white and red, and it looks puffy; There is also a small mouth that can speak well and attract rare people, and a mouth can amuse people; What is rare is that the family is so pampered, and the niece is not only not pampered and arrogant, but also very sensible and good at reading.

So he and the Fan family agreed a long time ago to hire Qingqing as their daughter-in-law in the future. The relationship between the two families is so good, and the children have grown up together, and Fan even said that the two sons are chosen by their sister and brother-in-law, which shows how much the daughter-in-law loves Qingqing.

But Qingqing is too good, she is only nine years old and is the head of the whole house, let alone nine years old, there are few cases in the capital at the age of nineteen. Uncle Pan and his wife are a little drumming in their hearts, their niece is so powerful, it won't be easy to take the exam next time? So Uncle Pan wants to take advantage of today to find out the matter, Qingqing is already nine years old, and it is not too early to make a marriage at this time.

Uncle Pan looks at his eldest sister's family, and naturally he can't wronged his niece, he has planned to save more money in the past few years, and support the dowry enough, how can he fill eighteen sets (Miss Ding's dowry is eighteen, the highest specification in the county), and accompany the jewelry left by his mother to Qingqing; Then I bought the two who entered the house at the back and repaired it for the little couple to live in, and when the time came, I was not afraid that I would not be able to live if I had more grandchildren.

But he had just made a start, and he was blocked back by his father, Uncle Pan couldn't, so he had to give up, and wanted to pick another time to mention it, but who knew that his father didn't agree to this matter at all, and completely rejected his family's plans for so many years.

Uncle Pan and Fan's stayed awake all night, such a good daughter-in-law was gone before she started to discuss marriage, and people didn't know their own hearts at all, who could sleep if they put it aside.

Shu Lao'er and his family of five came out of Pan's house and did not call a taxi, but walked back, no one spoke, thinking about their own thoughts.

After the dinner party in the Shu family's old house that day, everyone sat in the hall and drank tea, and Shu Lao Er told Old Man Shu his plans.

"I'm not dead yet!" Old Man Shu slapped the table and glared, "Don't go, you dare to try, I'll go to the county government and beat the drum to tell you to go!" As he spoke, he glanced threateningly in the direction of Zhao Bingsheng.

"Dad, such a good opportunity, I can't delay the child, Qingqing is a girl's house, and we don't feel at ease when we are outside." Shu Lao Er hurriedly defended to Old Man Shu.

"That's just right, don't go!" Old man Shu began to be quite unreasonable, he didn't care if there was any chance, anyway, he didn't let his second son's family leave Weixian. Isn't it just a granddaughter, what does it matter if you don't read or not, is it possible that you won't marry after reading?!

"What about that! Mr. Ji finally found the quota that the mountain chief begged for, and there was only one in the province! Shu Lao Er saw that he couldn't make sense of his father, and his sweat came down.

Old Man Shu's eyes rolled, "What are you afraid of, call Da Lang on top, Da Lang is just the right age, he is still a male baby, and the family can rest assured when he goes out." “

Shu Lao Er's muscles were straight when she heard it, why should she give up her daughter's quota to others!

Pan Erniang is also angry, they have been separated for so long, and they are still looking forward to taking advantage of their own family! Not to mention anything else, this wine is placed in the old house, and the gifts are all received by the father-in-law and the Xiao family, but the favor has to be paid back by himself, and there is also the matter of studying, why give it to Da Lang, and let him take the test by himself!

"I'm not going!" Da Lang shouted in the direction of his grandfather, he was studying medicine and studying hard, so he didn't go to Taishan Academy.

"Shut up." Boss Shu scolded his son, Shu Dalang stopped talking, and glared at Old Man Shu angrily.

The Qin family next to him couldn't sit still, if this good thing could fall on his son... No matter how bad it is, she still has two nephews...

Shu Mingran held Qinglan's hand, her big eyes were full of reluctance, and she asked in a low voice, "Is my sister leaving?" “

Qinglan stroked her cousin's little face, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Taishan Academy, she must go, but Daddy... Qinglan glanced at Old Man Shu dissatisfiedly.

It stands to reason that Shu Lao Er is not the eldest son, and he has already split up, and he also pays out pension money every month, and there is not much difference between people in Wei County and not in Wei County.

But Old Man Shu is the master who does not play cards according to reason, he is not reluctant to give up his second son, but for Xiao Meiyuan, for his younger son.

He has already planned that when his youngest son is born, he will ask his three daughters-in-law to take turns to serve the confinement child, especially Pan Erniang, she will cook, and when the time comes, the daughter-in-law's body will be adjusted well.

Although Mr. Shu has five children, he doesn't know anything about raising children, let alone helping.

And... Old man Shu still has a little selfishness of his own, and wants to use the second son's line to send his younger son to Mr. Ji to study, even a female doll like Sun Nu can take the first test, maybe his youngest son can win the top prize in the future.

The second family couldn't go, and Old Man Shu gritted his teeth and refused to let go.

Ding family

"Dad, did you tell Grandpa?" Xiaobao looked at his father expectantly.

"Got it." Master Ding replied lightly.

"That grandpa... Agreed? Xiaobao carefully observed the change in his father's expression. However,

Master Ding didn't have an expression, his eyelids didn't lift, and he replied to his son's three words: "Agreed." ”

"Really?! That's great, that father, you..."Before Xiaobao finished speaking, Master Ding interrupted his son's excited words with his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xiaobao looked at his father puzzled, waiting for the following.

"I don't agree." Master Ding raised his eyes, just in time to meet his son's stunned gaze.

"What?!" It's not what I imagined!

"I said, your father I don't agree." Master Ding patiently repeated what he had just said.

"Why?" Xiaobao couldn't understand it at all.

"Isn't there a dormitory in the academy?" Hmph, I thought your father didn't know anything.

"Yes, but..."How strict is the dormitory, it's hard to leave home and live independently, how can you not treat yourself badly, dormitory? Wouldn't it be taken care of again?!

"You can't live if people can live there?" Master Ding's tone sank, this kid is really spoiled!

"I..." Xiaobao was not his father's opponent at all, and he was blocked and speechless.

"It's decided, either the dormitory, or," Master Ding gave his son a serious warning look, "You can go to Fuxue to study, I heard that Fuxue is not bad." ”

"Don't," Xiaobao was so frightened that he didn't dare to fight anymore, you must know that going to Taishan Academy to study is very important to him, and there must be no mistakes. "I'm staying in the dormitory." Xiaobao had to compromise, it was more important to go to the academy than to buy a house.

That's right, because Qinglan and Mr. Ji are going to Taishan Academy, Thirteen and Xiaobao also plan to go there to study. Thirteen is a powerful person, and he only needs his father to send a letter to say hello, and Xiaobao... Apparently much more trouble.

First, his grandfather and father were not officials, and although his great-grandfather was an official to the prefect of Qingzhou, he could not be shaded by his grace; second, he is not a lifter, and he is not qualified to enter through the regular way; Third, his family is not a powerful person and cannot enjoy the treatment of the children of nobles.

Fortunately, the Ding family still has a little money, and thanks to a close relationship with Mr. Ding, plus Mr. Ji's letter of recommendation, Xiaobao has the opportunity to enter the academy to study, in addition to the normal tuition fee every year, he also has to pay a "donation fee" of 3,000 taels of silver. Unless Xiaobao ranks among the top three in the hospital in the annual assessment, otherwise the "donation fee" must be paid all the time.

Qinglan knew that she smacked her tongue, good guy, three thousand taels, enough to build a school. Don't be too expensive, many people don't have this qualification if they want to pay!

Since Xiaobao confirmed that he could go to Taishan Academy to study, he began to set up his own residence, he wanted to buy a house, near the academy, it was convenient to go to school and come and go freely.

Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Ding agreed without hesitation, there is only this baby bump at home, it is hard enough to study so far away from home, how can he still let him live in the academy and do everything by himself?

After thinking about it, Master Dante felt that it was really inappropriate for his son to live outside alone, so he was still sent to the academy for strict discipline, and the province would not even have the ability to take care of himself in the future, and he would not be able to endure any hardship, even if he was admitted to the top prize, he would not be able to be a good official.

Looking at Xiaobao who walked in dejectedly, Thirteen immediately guessed that it must be a matter of buying a house.

Thirteen also felt that there was no need to buy a house, he had already asked someone to go to Jinan Mansion to inquire, and rented two small courtyards near the academy, one for himself and Wu Shi to live in, and one for Qinglan and their family, when the time came, he didn't need to fire at all, just go to eat next door. Thinking of this, Thirteen secretly remembered to let Wu Shi open a small door, so that it would be easier to enter and exit.

(Qinglan: You don't think of yourself as an outsider...) )

"It's okay, Mu Xiu, you come to live with me then." Thirteen comforted Xiaobao like this.

Xiaobao sighed, and had no choice but to do so.

"Father, the emperor does not approve of this move." The fifth prince, Li Desheng, quietly returned to Beijing and entered the palace in disguise, at this time there were only two grandfathers in the Qianyuan Palace, and even Father-in-law Shi was shielded out.

"Sheng'er," Emperor Jingtai found that his eldest son had lost weight, his face was a little pale, and there was something strange about his injury. "The person behind the curtain is so deeply hidden, I'm afraid it can't be found out in a moment."

"Two imperial uncles..."Li Desheng still couldn't rule out suspicion of the two imperial uncles.

"It's not him." Although I can't be completely sure, the power of the two younger brothers will definitely not develop to that extent, otherwise how can I still tolerate these two people? It's a few of his good sons who began to have frequent contact with the previous dynasty...

Emperor Jingtai didn't want to watch his sons continue to make mistakes, his palms and backs were full of meat, if they could restrain themselves from the precipice, he was willing to give them a chance to rehabilitate themselves. The most important thing in front of me is to return to the previous dynasty, and as for the people behind the scenes, they can only take a long-term view and secretly visit.

The fifth prince felt a burst of powerlessness and frustration, and missed one after another, I am afraid that it has alarmed the people behind the scenes, and now that Zhang Huaiyuan has also been exposed, it is true that he should not continue to investigate, otherwise it will not be a matter of a few lives when he falls into the middle of the world.

"Father, my son wants to take the Zhu family to Shandong." The fifth prince went out of Beijing for several months, leaving his newlywed wife alone in the capital, feeling a little guilty about her in his heart, wanting to take her out to play, and wanting to come to the Zhu family, who was born in a wealthy family, has never been out of the capital in his life.

"Going to Thirteen?" Emperor Jingtai raised his eyebrows, one by one, they all ran to Shandong, what is there to see in that place.

"Yes, Erchen promised Thirteen that he would take the time to go to Shandong to see him." By the way, take a look at my brother, killing two birds with one stone.

"Thirteen letters said that he was going to study at Taishan Academy." Emperor Jingtai thought of the ice cream that his youngest son had delivered two days ago, and ironed it in his heart.

"Taishan Academy..."Li Desheng's mind began to search quickly, collecting all the information he had heard about Taishan Academy.

"The mountain chief is the academy of Confucius." Emperor Jingtai likes to give nicknames to readers, such as Lin stubborn donkey - Lin Lao Hanlin; Ji Dasha - Ji 2 Ji Zhaoya's father (Mr. Ji: The emperor described it very appropriately); Kong Shangxian.

"Father's consent to Thirteen going?" Li Dehao was a little curious, in the early years, his father summoned Kong Shangxian to the palace to study, but the other party refused, what did his father say at the time, "My son, I can't become a talent without you?!" "Why...

Emperor Jingtai was a little proud, hum, you refused to enter the palace back then, and now Xiao Thirteen is studying in the academy, as for the future... Hey, hey, hey, Emperor Jingtai laughed like an old fox who had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
