Chapter 17 The Ancestral Teachings of the Ji Family
"This matter will never work, and Hugh will bring it up again. Even if you don't study, you don't want to practice martial arts! After the second master Ji finished speaking, he actually stood up, hurriedly saluted Mrs. Ji, and walked away.
"The old man is angry for a while, don't worry about him, old lady. I'm going to persuade the master. Mrs. Ki stood up.
"There you go." Mrs. Ji waved her hand and let Mrs. Ji leave.
Mrs. Ji looked at Master Ji San, and then at Ji Xiaotang.
"You two are muttering these days, just discussing this matter."
If it was placed in the past, listening to the second master Ji say that he would not study, the third master Ji would be happy at the moment. However, today, Master Ji San hung his head in frustration.
Master Ji San is no longer the young man who had nothing to do in his heart in the past, and his heart is so eager to do something for the Ji family.
"Mother." Master Ji San begged Mrs. Ji.
"Don't ask me about this." Mrs. Ji shook her head, she couldn't do anything about it. "It's not going to work."
Master Ji San looked at Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang didn't speak, but only gave Master Ji San a look that was all wrapped around me, so that Master Ji San could not be impatient.
"Uncle should take medicine, take care of your body as soon as possible, so that you can talk about the future." Ji Xiaotang sued Master Ji San.
"Yes, Xiaotang is right." Master Ji San immediately cheered up.
Seeing that Master Ji San, who usually hated drinking medicine the most, drank a bowl of medicine in a few sips, Mrs. Ji was relieved and a little puzzled at the same time.
Master Ji San is good with Ji Xiaotang, but when did he listen to Ji Xiaotang so much?
Ji Xiaotang accompanied Mrs. Ji to talk to Master Ji San again, and estimated in his heart that Second Master Ji's anger should be calm, so he left Mrs. Ji's house and came to see Second Master Ji.
"It was your uncle who begged you and asked you to help him say that he didn't want to study and practice martial arts!" Without waiting for Ji Xiaotang to speak, Second Master Ji opened his mouth first.
"Dad, you haven't lost your breath yet?" Ji Xiaotang avoided the question of Second Master Ji.
"Hmph." Second Master Ji snorted coldly, after being persuaded by Second Mrs. Ji for half a day, his anger had calmed down a lot. "Don't talk about it again. Xiaotang, don't follow your uncle to mess around. ”
It's really not nonsense, practicing martial arts is of course Master Ji San's wish all along, and now it has been approved and supported by Ji Xiaotang.
"Daddy, I don't understand. Although Wenzun and Wuhumility are heirlooms in our family, it is not a big deal to produce a military attaché. It's better than having nothing to do with your uncle. Why is Daddy so angry? ”
Ji Xiaotang asked calmly, and Second Master Ji was willing to answer Ji Xiaotang's words well.
"This is a family motto handed down from our ancestors. The descendants of the Ji family are only allowed to follow the literature, not to practice martial arts. Your uncle has been fond of dancing guns and sticks since he was a child, and how many times did your grandfather beat and scolded him when he was there. It's not just because I hate him for not being able to learn literature, but also because I don't want him to practice martial arts. ”
To put it bluntly, it is the ancestral training of the Ji family, and the Ji family is not allowed to practice martial arts, let alone enter the dynasty as a military attaché.
"But times have changed. If the predecessors left behind, they may not necessarily accept it all. Ji Xiaotang said.
"What are these words? The rules handed down from our ancestors must not be changed. Second Master Ji said unhappily.
"Can't really be changed?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"It can't be changed."
"Daddy, I'll show you something." Ji Xiaotang carefully took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Second Master Ji.
"What is it?" Second Master Ji stretched out his hand to take it and asked puzzled. "This is the Analects of ......, your grandfather's hand-copied Analects. Where did you find that? ”
"I stumbled upon it when I was looking for a book in the library for the past two days." Ji Xiaotang replied.
Master Ji Er held the scroll in his hand, like a treasure, while slowly flipping through it.
Mrs. Ji not only copied all the Analects by hand, but also annotated them in detail.
"Why didn't I find out, and your grandfather didn't say it."
Ji Xiaotang shouldn't have discovered this book.
No one in the Ji family found this book until ...... On the day of the breakdown, the library was burned, and Ji Xiaotang found the book that had been broken at that time in the ashes.
She didn't find many fragments, and they didn't look useful at the time, but they happened to be used now.
"This book is so secret, maybe my grandfather forgot it after copying it, maybe ...... Grandfather didn't want people to find out. Or maybe they don't want people to find out at all.
But why should you stay, just destroy it.
This doubt, Ji Xiaotang can only suppress it in his heart for the time being. What she has to do now is to convince Second Master Ji.
"Daddy, look here." Ji Xiaotang asked Second Master Ji to turn the scroll to the end.
At the end of the whole book, Mrs. Ji not only wrote annotations, but also wrote other things.
Second Master Ji's brows couldn't help frowning, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"The ancestor of the Ji family, there is still a family motto that you can't go out?!"
"Grandfather's pen, it shouldn't be wrong." Ji Xiaotang replied.
Even though he said this, Master Ji Er also confirmed that he would not mistake his father's handwriting, but he still stood up, took out a scroll from the side, and carefully compared the handwriting on the scroll with the inscription on the old lady Ji.
Of course, it was undoubtedly written by Mrs. Ji herself.
Second Master Ji put down the painting and held the scroll in his hand, obviously confused.
After transcribing and annotating the entire volume of the Analects, Mrs. Ji didn't know what mood she was in, and she left a passage. In this passage, Old Lady Ji revealed one thing that Second Master Ji never knew.
The ancestors of the Ji family only let the descendants of their descendants cultivate and study as a business, and did not allow their children and grandchildren to go out of business. Mrs. Ji misses his father, saying that he is only eight years old, but he has always abided by this ancestral precept, and only took the exam, so he refused to take the exam again, so he lived in seclusion in the city, and only concentrated on teaching Mrs. Ji to study.
Although Mrs. Ji's father has always abided by the ancestral teachings, according to Mrs. Ji's observations, the old man is not without regrets.
Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell the goods to the emperor's family. Who in the world can avoid vulgarity.
After the death of her father, Mrs. Ji completed the filial piety period and participated in the imperial examination. At the beginning, Mrs. Ji just wanted to go out to verify what kind of course he had learned from his studies, but as he went all the way to high school, he finally participated in the meeting and became an official half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.
"It's no wonder that my father is outstanding in learning, but he is very late in participating in the imperial examination." And when he was an official, although he was loyal to his duties, he looked very lightly at promotions and other things.
"If my grandfather hadn't come out, how could there be the current situation of the Ji family. The talents of my father and uncle are nowhere to be displayed. Ji Xiaotang lost no time in saying, "Therefore, this ancestral training is not unchangeable." ”
"You're still talking about your uncle." Second Master Ji raised his head and looked at Ji Xiaotang.
"Daddy, isn't it good to give Uncle a chance? Uncle can't read, but he also has his strengths, shouldn't the world see the brilliance of uncle? ”
This sentence touched the heart of the second master of Ji more than what made the lintel of the Ji family shine on the third master.
Ji Xiaotang understands Second Master Ji, so he naturally knows how to speak.
Second Master Ji pondered for a while, and then waved his hand at Ji Xiaotang.
"It came so suddenly, I have to think about it."
Ji Xiaotang stopped urging, she believed that Second Master Ji would figure it out.
The next day, Second Master Ji ignored Third Master Ji and Ji Xiaotang.
"Your dad is old-fashioned." Master Ji San complained to Ji Xiaotang.
On the third day, Master Ji Er was finally willing to see Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang.
Master Ji San was dumbfounded.
Ji Xiaotang is confident.
Ji Er's forehead was raised.
"It's not easy to practice martial arts, and if you get hurt, the old lady won't be able to get by. You went and asked the old lady first. "Second Master Ji's tone loosened.
Master Ji San immediately went to find Mrs. Ji, but after a few words, Mrs. Ji nodded.
"Your second brother agreed, that's good. If you have no eyes for knives and guns, learn some fists and feet, and practice your body strongly. Mrs. Ji thought that Master Ji San just wanted to play, so she instructed.
Mrs. Ji nodded, and Second Master Ji was helpless.
"It's okay to practice martial arts, and you can keep fit. As for the martial arts ......, it is not an overnight thing. "Regarding this matter, Second Master Ji has not yet made a decision, "I will write to discuss with my eldest brother again." ”
As long as he is willing to let him practice martial arts, Master Ji San has achieved his wish. As for martial arts, it was still a trivial matter for him.
Master Ji San just wants to protect the family.
If the Ji family wants to invite a martial artist, it is naturally not a difficult task. For a while, the word went out, and there was an endless stream of self-recommendation or recommendation.
After some school examinations, the candidates for the martial artists were quickly decided.
Master Zeng is a descendant of Southern Shaolin, and is responsible for teaching Master Ji San's fist and foot kung fu. Master Li used to be a cavalry captain in the border army, and he was responsible for teaching Master Ji San's bow and horse. There is also a master Quan, who is responsible for teaching guns and sticks.
Master Ji San not only practiced martial arts by himself, but also selected a group of good bones among his confidants' family members and followed him to practice martial arts.
Copper coins, knowing, peace and wealth were also taken back, and they also followed Master Ji San in the courtyard.
Ji Xiaotang didn't want Master Ji San to become an official from martial arts, she just wanted Master Ji San to train his own team of nurses. Loyal to the Ji family, he can protect the safety of the Ji family in troubled times.
Yes, troubled times.
This is the result of these days, Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San's secret discussion. Ji Xiaotang is planning ahead.
The role of this nursing home is more than that.
Ji Xiaotang is destined not to regret this decision, on the contrary, in many moments in the future, she is extremely fortunate to have made this decision in time.
There is also Master Ji San......
The prodigal son did not change his money.
Ji Xiaotang is no longer alone.
