Chapter 34: Forty Thousand
In order to settle Youshu, Ji Changye put a lot of thought into it. He first erased all traces of Youshu Nai's son-in-law, but outsiders speculated a little, and could not find evidence, so he donated his fame and bought a mansion for him. Come to think of it, with Shu's ingenuity, he will be able to be named on the gold list and get ahead in a few years. But his sex, he doesn't like to talk, he doesn't like to socialize, he only wants to eat, and it is a little difficult to mix in officialdom, but at that time, he has a deep foundation, and he can also help him find a quiet position.
Worried that Youshu would be bullied for a while, and worried that he would not be able to take care of himself, Ji Changye thought about it, so he took out his own post to help Youshu buy a few shops, and then worried that he was not doing well, so he bought land and hoarded land. In this way, no matter how Shu shus in Beijing, he is always well fed and warmly dressed, and he is on the right path.
Thinking like this, Ji Changye was always a little unhappy in his heart, especially when Youshu bought all the furniture and ornaments and put them in the new mansion on the same day, just waiting to take the Song family and a few people to live, and even poked his lung tubes. What kind of state of mind is it that he feels flustered when the boy is too attached to himself, and when the boy tries to leave him, he is even more restless?
Ji Changye was very troubled, and when dealing with Youshu's problem, he only felt that it was ten million times more difficult than dealing with the government. It's not good to be close, it's far away, no matter where you put him, it's hard to adapt.
He was not happy in his heart, so he couldn't see the young man's heartless appearance, so he found hundreds of classics under the banner of preparing for the exam, and asked him to read them and understand them thoroughly within three days.
Youshu, who was going to go out to buy pastries, was taken back to the study by Ah Da and Ah Er with their collars as soon as they walked out of the door, pushed people behind the table full of books, and jokingly said, "Stay honest, put it aside after reading a book, and the master will come back in the evening to check it." β
"Then you help me buy Fu Ji's plum cabbage and pork shortbread. A box of three copper plates, buy ten boxes, well, this is silver. Youshu untied the purse and threw it over, and reiterated, "Hurry up, the shopkeeper only makes twenty boxes a day, and you can't buy it if you go late." β
"You kid can really eat, people only make twenty boxes, and you pack half of them. You eat so many snacks, why do you keep adding bowls to the dinner table? Look at the two taels of meat on your body, eat so much and eat it all into the dog's stomach! Just like you, how can you rest assured that the master is gone? It's no wonder that I bought a house, a shop, and a field, and I can't wait to buy it for you. There was no lack of envy in Ah Da's tone.
In the end, he was raised by his master since he was a child, and his feelings are different from them, and he still thinks about this and that before leaving, even his biological parents are nothing more than that. Oh, that's wrong, can you call your father a father? It's simply not as good as livestock, and if you take a few more concubines and give birth to a few more heirs, as far as the Wang family's tutor is concerned, it will be useless to give birth to a hundred, and they must all be crooked melons and cracked dates.
Ah Da and Ah Er left with a sigh, and as soon as they got out of the gate, they saw the housekeeper of the Wang family dragging the porter to grind there, saying that there was a post that had to be delivered to the eldest young master by hand.
"What young master? Who is the eldest young master of your family? Ah Da sneered.
"This official, please make it convenient, my lord has just traveled west, the second young master also died of a violent illness, the old lady and the old lady were overly sad, lying on the bed, there is no one in charge of the family, and now I can only ask the eldest young master to go back and preside over the overall situation." The eldest young master is the eldest son of our Wang family, and he should be in charge of the court. The butler made frequent moves, and his face was full of bitterness.
Ah Da and Ah Er glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise. They snatched the funeral post and read it quickly, and even clapped their hands and praised, "Good, good death." This is retribution! β
Steward Wang has heard this sentence more than once today. Everyone in the world said that the violent death of the father and son of the Wang family in one hour was a punishment from heaven, and because the two of them were too evil, they deserved not to die well. After listening to it a lot, Steward Wang was very emotional, he knew more or less about the bad karma created by Wang Xiangqian and Wang Tianyou, and because of this, he believed in the reincarnation of cause and effect more than outsiders. In the past, he was very arrogant, but now he felt that he couldn't raise his head, and said humbly, "Master, he has been punished by heaven, and he has suffered all the sins he deserves, after all, the eldest young master is his own flesh and blood, so I will go back to see him for the last time, and do my filial piety." β
"Do your fart filial piety, get out!" Ah Da and Ah Er were furious, tore the post apart, and drove people away.
The housekeeper couldn't, so he had to go back and restore his life.
In just half a day, the old lady Wang was already rickety, mourning and barren, and her air-dried face seemed to be about to crack. After hearing the report, he thought about it and finally decided to go for it himself. Seeing that the Wang family is about to cut off their children and grandchildren, what do they have to do with face.
Youshu didn't wait for the plum vegetable button meat shortbread, but waited for two old faces with dried orange peels, one was wiping tears in front of him, and the other was putting on a majestic expression. Outside the study, Lin, who was tied up and gagged by five flowers, was kneeling under the scorching sun to "repent".
"What do I do on my knees? The person she is most sorry for is my mother. I will stay until my mother returns, and let her kneel for seven days and forty-nine days. Youshu opened her mouth slowly while reading a book.
He reads books very differently than others. When someone else gets a classic, they must read it carefully and seriously several times, then memorize it silently, and then write down their doubts and feelings on paper one by one, and take it to ask Mr. He doesn't read through, he doesn't memorize, he doesn't take notes, he picks up a book and flips through it, puts it down after a few breaths, and changes it to another.
In the eyes of those who don't know what's going on, where is this reading a book, it's obviously too hot, and the pages of the book are used as fans! The old lady became angry when he saw him like a hanger, but it was not easy to reprimand, and his old face became darker and darker.
The old lady couldn't care about how her grandson studied, and only took the person back to think that everything was fine, and as soon as she entered the door, she howled, and said "my hard-working grandson, my heart and liver", as if it hurt a lot. Seeing that Youshu was indifferent, she was worried in her heart, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said, "Okay, she has committed the rule of seven outs, and she is the son of the Wang family, and her background is low, where is she qualified to sit on the position of a wife." I have written a letter of resignation on behalf of your father, and she is now a sinner of the royal family, and she is at your disposal. β
divorced the mother and then the Lin family, as if all the fault was on the woman. The Wang family, the Wang family, how can they not die? Youshu shook her head secretly, glanced at the desk, and found that the task assigned by the master had been completed, so she spread out two pieces of rice paper.
When the old lady saw him lay out the paper, he took out the ink strip and began to grind the ink, his movements were extremely slow, and he didn't say whether he would go back or not, so he was a little anxious.
"You know, it wasn't we who abandoned you in the first place, but your nurse and maid secretly took you away. If it weren't for that, you would still be the eldest son of the Wang family. As for your fate, it was the Lin clan who bought the channel to spread rumors, and your father was confused for a while, but he actually believed it...... It's all about making people, you could have grown up at home in peace, where would you suffer so much. Now that you're back, we'll be able to make it up to you. Moreover, you also have to think about your mother, she is an abandoned woman who is not qualified to enter the ancestral grave, and can only be a lonely ghost...... "The old lady moves with affection, understands reason, seduces her to benefit, and puts all the fault on others, which is no different from Mrs. Wang's style."
How can such parents raise children with both ability and integrity?
Youshu looked down on the Wang family more and more, picked up a brush in each hand, and quickly wrote on the paper, saying as he wrote, "If Wang Tianyou and Wang Xiangqian don't die, you won't come to recognize me." If I go back with you, what will become of me? A joke? β
He wrote policy treatises with his left hand and pun fu with his right hand, both of which were compulsory subjects for the imperial examination, and what was even more shocking was that the fonts he wrote were completely different. The strategy is a beautiful hairpin, and the Fu is a Yan Ti book of Feng Zhuluanhui, if this scene is seen by outsiders, it will be shocked.
Don't say that the old lady Wang has been frightened and stunned, even the old lady Wang, who has no knowledge, forgot to cry, and stared at the young man with straight eyes.
Youshu was idle, and continued, "I'll analyze it for you. Yu Qing: I don't owe you the Wang family. Since I was a child, I have never eaten a grain of rice from the Wang family, worn a piece of clothing from the Wang family, and even the name was chosen by myself, why should I support the faΓ§ade of the Wang family? Yu Li: Is there ever my name on the Wang family's family tree? Did you ever have a mother's name? Although Wang Xiangqian gave me half of his blood, de jure I have nothing to do with him. This thing is useless to say that it is useless, I don't admit it, no one can help me, and I can't use filial piety to press me. As for my mother, she will not enter the ancestral tomb of the Wang family or the ancestral tomb of the Song family, and she can be buried with me. I will change my court in the future, and then my grave will also be the ancestral grave of my descendants, so why worry about having no place to live. β
He is dedicated to three purposes, but the speed of writing has not slowed down at all, the voice has not fallen, and he has done half of the strategy and half of the fu, and the writing is brilliant, and the old lady Wang praised the subtlety in his heart.
If he was a little reluctant when he first came, he was only full of enthusiasm when he saw such an amazing and brilliant young man. If he had known that the child born by the Song family was such a ghost, he would not let his son abandon his wife and children no matter what. For example, who can write with both the left hand and the right hand to give the gift, and refute others in their mouth? Who can write such a deafening argument and write such a romantic essay? This kid's head is worthy of other people's seventeen or eighteen heads, Wang Tianyou is nothing compared to him!
If these two articles are taken out, it is enough to teach Shi Hongru to be ashamed, not to mention that the author is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. Give him a few more years, what will it be like? The old lady's whole body trembled with excitement, and he already realized that the hope of reviving the Wang family was in his grandson. If he is willing, he will definitely be able to shine on the lintel and be a great minister.
But seeing the other party's resolute attitude, his enthusiasm cooled down in an instant. Regret, until this time I didn't know how to entangle the feeling of pain with the intestines.
I picked the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon, and took the fish eyes as pearls, the Lin family and Wang Tianyou hurt my Wang family so badly! When Ah Da and Ah Er, who were hurriedly turned around, were thrown out of the palace, the old lady Wang lost her temper for a while, and actually knelt down at the door and cried.
Mrs. Wang wanted to come forward to comfort her, but she was whipped in the crook of her foot with his cane, and scolded, "You fool! If you hadn't sent Lin to your son's room and let her confuse his mind, my good grandson would never have been stolen by two minions! You still praise Wang Tianyou for his amazing talent all day long, do you know how to write the words 'amazing talent'? Pity my good grandson, who has been delayed by a few foolish women for fifteen or sixteen years! If he is willing to go home, I am willing to live ten years! God, I'm willing to live for ten years, do you hear? β
The old lady's move also meant to shout to Youshu, but unexpectedly, a cold and mocking voice came from behind him, "It seems that there is such a talent as Shu, it can be said that there is no one before and no one after him, and there will be no one in five hundred years." You only have a life span of ten years, so it can be seen that there should only be descendants like Wang Xiangqian and Wang Tianyou. β
