Chapter 8 Double Examination
Speaking of this, Han Jiangxue paused slightly, and when she saw that her eldest brother's expression gradually became solemn, she said: "Over the years, you and my brother and sister have long been branded by the people in the capital as vulgar and stubborn, unscrupulous, troublemaker, and useless!" But are we really as bad as we are preaching? ”
"There are so many children of families like us in the capital, why are you and my brother and sister so badly renowned? Didn't the eldest brother think about the abnormality here? Every time Liu said good things for us in front of our father, the more my father remembered every wrong thing we did, and the more dissatisfied he became with us, even if it was sometimes just a very ordinary thing, but it made my father even more disappointed in us. ”
Seeing that the eldest brother didn't say a word, his expression became more and more solemn, Han Jiangxue continued: "Actually, looking back, over the years, the Liu family has been obedient to us in everything on the surface, and it couldn't be better, but are those good really good for us? If this is her way of doing things, then why would she never be so openly indulgent to her children? If our mother were alive, would my mother discipline us like this? ”
A series of rhetorical questions made Han Jing speechless, but no matter how he was, he couldn't believe that the Liu family would be the kind of vicious person with bad intentions that his sister had guessed.
After a while, he squeaked, "Maybe...... Maybe everything is really just a coincidence, or maybe there have been too many things in the past two days, which makes my sister's suspicions a little too heavy. You can't just convict because you have suspicions, after all, she has ...... so many years."
"That's it, when I say this to my eldest brother today, I don't mean that I must go and find out the Liu family mother and daughter now, but I just want to tell my eldest brother that you can't hurt people, but you can't do without the heart of preventing people!"
Knowing that it was impossible to persuade the eldest brother so easily, Han Jiangxue had to remind again: "Over time, if they really have a problem, as long as they pay attention, one day there will be evidence to prove my guess today." As for you, big brother, whether you believe it now or not, in short, it will not be wrong to keep an eye on it. ”
Seeing this, Han Jing naturally no longer resisted his sister's reminder, nodded slightly, and said that he had written it down, although he still didn't understand his sister's thoughts in his heart, what his sister said also made sense, it was good to do anything, and it would always be wrong to keep an eye on it in the future.
The two siblings stayed for a few more moments, and Ziyue knocked on the door and invited them over for dinner.
Old man Tan's craftsmanship is excellent, every time the baby grandson and granddaughter come to cook the dishes they like to eat, the grandfather and grandson chatted while eating, and when the interest is high, it is inevitable to drink a few more glasses, which makes the originally cold and gentle Tan Mansion also become happy, and the joy of family is very warm and moving.
In the evening, before dark, the brother and sister returned to Han's house. Han Jing habitually wanted to go back to the house, but was pulled by Han Jiangxue to go to where his father lived.
"Big brother remembers, you have to ask your father's permission to go out in the future, and when you come back, you have to go to your father's room to reply." Han Jiangxue said while motioning for Aoki and Ziyue to follow along, and naturally he had to inform his father if there were two more people for no reason.
When Han Jing heard this, he was not used to it, and bargained: "Don't be so troublesome, according to what my sister said, then won't we have any freedom in the future?" ”
"My eldest brother promised me that I would work hard and make positive changes. If you can't do that, everything else is empty talk. Han Jiangxue resolutely refused, "Besides, don't look at these trivial things, but they represent respect for your father." In the past, we were ignorant and always ignored these, but we don't know how big or small filial piety is? Even your father has come over, how can the eldest brother reverse the bad impression of outsiders on you? ”
These words are reasonable, Han Jing was speechless by his sister, and remembered the previous promise, he couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly nodded and promised: "My sister reminded me very much, I will listen to my sister in the future, and my sister will do what she says, there is no other word!" ”
The brother and sister smiled at each other, and then said no more, and went to see their father together.
Seeing that the two brothers and sisters came back to see him, although Han Feng didn't say anything, his expression was a little excited. Over the years, these children have not shown such sensible rules for many years, thinking about what their daughter said yesterday, they are even more optimistic about the brother and sister reforming themselves.
Han Jiangxue simply introduced Aoki and Ziyue to her father, of course, there were some changes in the rhetoric, but her grandfather heard about yesterday's incident, one was worried about her safety, and the other was afraid that the eldest brother would be impulsive and cause trouble again, so he gave the two brothers and sisters to them.
Han Feng didn't know where his father-in-law's temperament was protective, but seeing that this Aoki and Ziyue were calm and calm, he didn't say much, just to make the old man feel more comfortable.
"Jing'er, this year's martial arts test in the palace, are you going to prepare or go to participate, I was also angry last time, if you don't let you participate in the martial arts test, can you still participate in the literary test? After all, you can't just don't participate in everything. Seeing that his son was also willing to obey the discipline, Han Feng's attitude was even more relaxed, and he even took the initiative to change his mind about the things he rejected a few days ago.
Every year on the sixth day of June, the palace will hold a unique civil and military double test, which can be participated in by young children from 16 to 20 years old in the capital's powerful and famous families. This has become a tradition in the Dongming Kingdom, and it is also one of the ways to select young talents from noble families for the royal family.
Therefore, those who meet the qualifications for the test will generally not not participate, and at least they will choose one of them according to their strengths. There are also humanities and martial arts who participate in the two trials together, whether it is to become famous or exercised, it has become the best platform for the nobles in the capital to show and compete.
Han Jing has participated in the martial arts test twice, although he was not very old at the time, he was ranked within 20, and this year he has practiced martial arts ruthlessly, and he has great hope of entering the top three and even winning the championship with his current strength. A few days ago, he made an accident that angered his father, and he was ordered by his father not to participate in this year's martial arts test, but he was indignant and disappointed.
Now that I heard that my father had withdrawn the ban, I was so excited that I couldn't do it, and I was about to thank my father well, and I didn't want to be robbed by my sister.
"It's great that Daddy agrees with my eldest brother to continue to participate in this year's martial arts exam." Han Jiangxue smiled with a smile on her face, and at the same time said to Han Feng in surprise: "In that case, the eldest brother will participate in both the civil and military examinations this year!" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Han Feng, but even Han Jing himself was startled, and was about to deny the explanation, but was interrupted by his sister again.
"Daddy doesn't know yet, my eldest brother said at my grandfather's house today that from now on, I have to study my homework well to participate in this year's literary exam. The eldest brother said that our Han family is not a family of military generals after all, and poetry, books, and ink cannot be abandoned. Xue'er thought that what the eldest brother said was very true, no matter what kind of results he achieved in the end, but the fact that the eldest brother could have this heart shows his progress now. ”
Han Jiangxue said while quietly looking at Han and signaling to do as she said.
Han Jing was so anxious that he went to take the literary exam with the ink in his stomach. However, his sister's appearance was irrefutable, which quickly reminded him of what he had promised just now.
"Jing'er, do you really think so?" Han Feng was overjoyed, and couldn't help but get up and walk up to his son, pat him on the shoulder and say, "Good, good, good!" You can have such a mind as a father is already very content, just like your sister said, it doesn't matter what you do in the exam, the important thing is that you really grow up, sensible, and know self-cultivation! ”
Seeing his father's expression of such joy, Han Jing couldn't bear to refute it even more at this time. Secretly gritted his teeth, he had to reluctantly cooperate with his sister to bear this matter first, and only hoped that his sister would suddenly make such a decision for him.
After a few more words, the brother and sister came out of the study.
After a certain distance, Han Jing couldn't wait to pull his sister and ask what he meant just now, and let him take the literary exam without consulting him for no reason, isn't this a joke?
