Chapter 394: Old News
Zhou Shaojin was a little stunned.
Cheng Chi only said that he grew up in the capital, but he didn't say who chose him, and how could he be in charge of the Seven Star Hall.
Is there something else going on here?
Zhou Shaojin thought of Mrs. Guo.
Thinking of Cheng Chi's delay in getting married.
She vaguely felt that these things might be related to Cheng Chi's parents and brother......
Zhou Shaojin didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he didn't dare to ask any more.
She got up obediently, made a new cup of tea for Cheng Chi, brought it over, and handed it to Cheng Chi's hand.
Cheng Chi took the tea cup with a smile, smelled the tea, and took a sip gently.
He was a little reluctant to say.
But today is an opportunity.
Maybe if he missed this opportunity, he would never be able to tell SΓΉ Shaojin so calmly.
"The one who chose me to be in charge of the Seven Star Hall was the ancestor of the second room." Just when Zhou Shaojin thought that Cheng Chi would no longer tell her the secrets of the Cheng family, Cheng Chi continued unhurriedly, "I have been naughty since I was a child, and I have done a lot of things to go to the house to uncover tiles and go down to the river to fish, which annoyed my father, and my father often threatened me to send me to the Xishan camp to be a martial artist. As he spoke, he smiled faintly, his smile stretched and gentle, and he could see that he was in a good mood.
Uncle Chi and his father should have a good relationship.
Zhou Shaojin thought in his heart, but in an instant, he saw a sharp light like a blade flash in Cheng Chi's eyes, and said, "The Cheng family is a family of scholars, how can they send me to the Xishan camp to be a martial artist?" It can be seen that there are some things that cannot be arrogant - when I was seven years old, my father died. After guarding my father for 7749 days, my brothers were still guarding the system at home, but I was sent back to the capital and began to practice martial arts with the father of Chief Qin! β
It can be seen that Cheng Chi is very dissatisfied with such an arrangement.
Is it because the decision of the elders has cut off his future in the office? Or is it because he has suffered too much because he has practiced martial arts?
The thought flashed in Zhou Shaojin's mind, and Zhou Shaojin quickly denied the latter.
Uncle Chi must have suffered a lot to get to where he is today.
Since he can suffer, it can't be that he is unhappy because of his martial arts.
That's the arrangement for the elders?
Zhou Shaojin didn't know what to say, so he had to pour Cheng Chi another cup of tea.
Cheng Chi didn't reach out to pick it up this time, but stared straight at the teacup in front of him and whispered: "My father died of illness on July 4 in the fifteenth year of Yongchang. In the summer of that year, he contracted a cold, and his illness was delayed by his work, and by the time he realized that something was wrong, he had turned into tuberculosis and died soon after.
"At that time, he was tired of being an official to the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was one of the second products, one of the small Jiuqing. If you enter again, you will have to pay homage to the cabinet. And the ancestor of the second room is already a scholar of the Yingwu Palace and a scholar of the Ministry of Officials. The reason why my father has not entered the cabinet for a long time is mainly because the ancestor of the second room is his uncle.
"It is impossible for the imperial court to let both uncle and nephew enter the cabinet together.
"The ancestor of the second room was over sixty years old at the time, but my father was still at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and everyone said that after a few years, the ancestor of the second room would be able to enter the cabinet.
"But my father died before the ancestor of the second room.
"And my two elder brothers have been named on the gold list, one is in the left of the Ministry of Works, and the other has just been selected as a Jishi and is watching politics in the Ministry of War.
"But my father died, and my two older brothers had to go back to their hometowns. The eldest brother is okay, he has been selected as a scholar, but the second brother can only have no chance with the scholar and be an ordinary jinshi. β
Zhou Shaojin gradually heard the taste.
Changfang originally had a brilliant career, but it became vague because of Cheng Xun's death.
She said: "Is this the case, that's why the second old lady will come forward to support the portal at that time." β
For a while, Cheng Xun was in the limelight, and many people thought that he would be in the Liubu camp with the momentum of the list.
Cheng Chi sneered and said: "When you talk about conditions with people, you naturally have to have hole cards!" When my father was alive, he had a different political opinion from the ancestor of the second room, and when my father died, the ancestor of the second room also had a dispute with the second uncle over whether my father was suspended for 7749 days or 6742. β
The elders are still there, and the younger ones go first, because they are not filial, and they cannot keep the full filial piety of 7749 days. If you want to keep it, you can only keep it for 6742 days or 5735 days.
At that time, Cheng Chi's grandfather, Cheng Bei, had already died.
He didn't let Cheng Chi and the others do the Dharma for Cheng Xun for 7749 days, didn't he just feel that he, a living elder, was not very good?
Zhou Shaojin was very angry and said, "Can't he be more tolerant?" β
Cheng Chi said disdainfully: "Father is gone, he has no scruples, who will he do to be tolerant?" β
Oh, yes!
What scruples does he have about these people who are powerless to shake his roots, and what is there to be tolerant......
"So my second uncle had to fight hard, just hoping that he could promote my two elder brothers when they were reactivated after my two elder brothers defended the system......"
Zhou Shaojin's heart moved, and he couldn't help muttering: "So, the second old lady finally went to the Hanlin Academy to be a bachelor, and Uncle Jing became the head of Dali Temple as soon as he opened it, but he was promoted to Dali Temple in half a year, and in another year, he was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple...... Second Uncle Wei also went directly to the Hanlin Academy...... I also got a ride with you, and I want to practice martial arts with Chief Manager Qin's father so that I can take over the Seven Star Hall......" she said, raising her head suddenly, her face flushed with anger, "Can't you resist?" Just being at the mercy of him? β
Also, since this is the result of the wrestling between the Changfang and the Second Room, then the fact that Uncle Chi was chosen to take charge of the Seven Star Hall is something that all the people in the Changfang agree with!
This also includes Uncle Chi's biological mother, Mrs. Guo, and compatriots' elder brothers Cheng Jing and Cheng Wei!
Uncle Chi...... I was only seven years old...... Still an ignorant child...... If he wasn't talented and smart, and he didn't get into the Jinshi, maybe he would be a pawn in managing general affairs in this life!
That's why in his previous life, Uncle Chi ran away from home!
But Uncle Chi knew that Cheng's house was copied and Cheng Xu went to the court, but he still came back to save Cheng Xu and took Cheng Xu all the way south...... Uncle Chi looks ruthless, but in fact he is a soft-hearted person!
She looked at Cheng Chi, but there seemed to be a seed in her heart that had taken root and sprouted out of the ground.
Cheng Chi didn't notice Zhou Shaojin's affection, he smiled bitterly: "Although the second uncle is good at learning, he is a little angry, you let him entertain those charms in the officialdom for a while, but after a long time, he is a little beyond his strength." Otherwise, he would have been hiding in the Hanlin Academy for so many years...... He has no intention of being an official at all, even if he is unwilling to make sacrificial wine. β
Zhou Shaojin thought of the Mr. Wu who seemed to be Cheng Shao's staff member when he met in Hanbi Mountain House.
That time Mr. Wu came because Cheng Jing recommended him to be the priest of the country, and Cheng Xun sent Mr. Wu to plead to Mrs. Guo.
But she still couldn't get rid of it when she thought of the treatment Cheng Chi received, and said, "That can't be like this!" You are so young, although you are very active, but who dares to pat your chest to affirm that you have the talent to practice martial arts? After speaking, she asked Cheng Chi, "Your martial arts must be very high, right?" Then without waiting for Cheng Chi to answer, he said, "You didn't have anyone outside to officially fight at that time, what if someone's martial arts are not as superb as you imagined?" Wouldn't that end up with the same fate as Old Lady Li? How could they do that? β
Zhou Shaojin's sweet and glutinous voice, as well as the grievances and unwillingness contained in the voice, made Cheng Chi instantly feel that the unfair treatment he had received in the past had become his wealth - if he was not in charge of the Seven Star Hall, he was just an ordinary scholar, and when he met Zhou Shaojin, he dared to hold this girl who spread his heart in front of him, could he let him be ravaged by anything?
What really made him feel resentment was when he was eighteen years old, Qin Zining died in front of him, but he couldn't do anything about it.
For the first time, he saw the cruelty and bloodshed of the rivers and lakes.
Once upon a time, these cruelty and gore were just stories from other mouths.
When it happens to him, you will know how sad and resentful you are.
But what he has in front of him is the thorns along the way, and he has no time to be sad and compassionate, and he has no time to remember and sigh. He grew up quickly, learned to treat others with the same cruelty and blood, and learned that life's hurts can sometimes turn into life's treasures, guiding you down a smoother path.
But what you know is what you know.
Whenever he thought of Qin Zining's death, he felt irrepressibly painful in his heart...... It's hard to settle!
Only this time, he calmly accepted the things that he had felt were unfair.
Perhaps, this is what it feels like to be together?
Cheng Chi looked at Zhou Shaojin quietly, a cheerful smile floating between his eyebrows, and for the first time, he faced up to the evaluation of his father by the head of Qin back then: "Master Qin said that I am a martial arts genius who I see once in a century......
"That can't be the case!" Zhou Shaojin was still dissatisfied, and interrupted Cheng Chi's words coquettishly, "It's still a three-point risk to sail and sail, not to mention that you are an outlaw like Xiao Zhenhai every day?" The ancestor of the second room won't say this to you in front of you, right? Now Cheng Zhi is not young, and he has two sons, why didn't he let Cheng Zhi take over the Seven Star Hall? That Cheng Zhi is still just a lifter, you are still a Jinshi! Who is heavy and who is light, a discerning person will know at a glance! If he thinks that Cheng Zhi has not practiced martial arts, doesn't Cheng Zhi still have two sons? Then pick one out of them......" and felt that these things were caused by the Seven Star Hall, and said, "I think this Seven Star Hall is not opened, those people don't want to do it, you can give it to them." You'd better leave those things alone, and live a few days in peace! As for the income of Qixingtang, this full moon is a loss, and when the water is full, it overflows, and the Cheng family has been rich for so many years, and it is time to let go! Speaking of this, she thought of something more strict.
She couldn't help but lean in front of Cheng Chi and whispered: "Uncle Chi, you see, the Cheng family was raided in the previous life, it can't be related to the Seven Star Hall, right?" Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, and the imperial court has always been very close to this kind of thing! β
Cheng Chi looked at her pink little face, smooth and clean, she couldn't even find a small flaw, her black and white eyes seemed to be filled with a puddle of water, which could indulge people, he couldn't help but gently dusted her forehead and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that the Cheng family was raided because my eldest brother lost his honor in front of the palace and found out that my second brother was greedy for ink?" If it was because of the matter of Qixingtang, the emperor could have given the Cheng family a hat of rebellion, so why bother to find such a ridiculous excuse? β
