"Ji'er?!"

Kou Li heard Kou Ji's call, and suddenly turned his head sideways, looking at Kou Ji with a stunned expression.

"You...... Is it really Ji'er?! ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he almost fell to the ground.

How unreliable does this have to be to not know his son.

Kou Ji didn't want to say a word for a while, but nodded with a dark face.

Kou Li seemed to see the depression in Kou Ji's heart, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I have been traveling for my father for many years, and I always get together less and leave more, and in recent years, I have been running around behind your grandfather, you are the time when you are growing up, you are the same every day, so you ...... for your father."

Kou Ji shook his head and said lightly: "You don't have to explain, the child understands." ”

Kou Ji can't understand it, this kind of thing will be an incredible thing in the future life.

But in ancient times, it was very ordinary.

Those who served in the army, after enlistment, only returned home once or twice a year, encountered a big war, did not return home for three or five years, and did not know their own cubs after returning, which is very common.

And scholars, after reaching a certain point in knowledge, will go out to study, take all things in heaven and earth as teachers, increase experience, and do not return home for many years when they go out.

When the father and son met, there was no tearful scene.

There seems to be a kind of estrangement between them, which makes them very rusty.

Kou Li did not put on a father's stand in front of Kou Ji, and Kou Ji did not have the consciousness of being a son.

Kou Ji stretched his legs and sat cross-legged on the futon, facing Kou Li.

Kou Li wanted to teach him that he didn't know the rules, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

Kou Ji was not enthusiastic about him, and he also felt that he was irresponsible for his son, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, so he couldn't reprimand him after all.

He rubbed his hands, deliberately avoiding Kou Ji's gaze, tidied up his clothes, and then said with a dry smile: "It's not good for my father, I made a mistake and was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, so I let you see the joke." ”

After a pause, he added: "But don't worry, my father will never leave you to study in the future." Now that your father has passed on to your grandfather's name, following your grandfather is enough to learn a lot, and there is no need to visit other famous places. ”

Kou Ji smiled faintly: "Father is serious, but son does not say that father is ugly." You made a mistake, and I, as a son, have to help you bear it. We're father and son. ”

Kou Li raised his eyebrows, looked at Kou Ji with a look of surprise, and said, "I didn't expect that I was not at home for all these years, but you have learned a lot of truths, and I am very relieved for my father." After settling down a few days ago, my father was worried that you were fooling around in Huazhou Township and delaying your studies, but now that you are so sensible, my father is relieved. ”

"The child is already older, so naturally he won't trouble you."

“……”

The father and son got together, and some chatted for a while.

Kou Li clumsily recounted the interesting stories he had encountered or heard during his years of study tours, and wanted to get closer to Kou Ji about the relationship between father and son.

But Koji couldn't get close to him.

After chatting for a long time, Kou Li's face stiffened, and Kou Ji was ready to end the awkward chat between the father and son, and went straight to the point.

didn't expect Kou Li to be the first to mention that he was pitted.

"Ji'er, it's not a big mistake to be a father, your grandfather made a little fuss. He punished his father for kneeling here, because he was angry in his heart, and he thought that after a few days, his heart would be dissipated, and he would let his father out.

You live in the house first, and after a few days of going out for your father, I will take you to visit this prosperous Bianjing City.

My father told you that there are countless good things in this Bianjing City.

Especially in Xiwazi City, there are all kinds of juggling ......"

Kou Li began to ramble on and on about the prosperity in Xiwazi City.

"Dad, can you tell the child what mistakes you made to be punished by your grandfather to kneel in the ancestral hall."

Kou Ji decisively interrupted Kou Li's rambling and went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Kou Li was slightly stunned, he said for a long time, his son had been silent about him, did not show any interest, and now his son suddenly became interested in what he had done wrong.

Far from feeling ashamed, he was a little excited.

Immediately, he didn't hide it and began to tell Koji about his bad luck.

"Ji'er, after my father followed your grandfather into Beijing, I was arranged by your grandfather to study in Taixue. Those noble sons and heirs in Taixue feel that their father was not born by your grandfather, so they look down on their father.

Therefore, I have no friends as a father......"

When he said this, Ko Li's expression was obviously a little gloomy, but the gloomy look on his face was fleeting.

I saw him say happily: "However, after all, my father has been studying abroad for many years, and I know much more about the world than they do.

For the father to follow them, together to recite poems, read and write together, and to make great progress in learning.

It was precisely by following them that his father really saw the prosperity of Bianjing City. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji rolled his eyes without a trace.

He didn't need to ask, he could guess what was going on with Kou Li's mouth chanting poems together and appreciating the prosperity of Bianjing City together.

It's nothing more than going in and out of the Qinglou wine shop, eating, drinking and having fun together.

If we really stayed together and studied, Kou Li would have been able to get this far?

However, Kou Ji did not interrupt Kou Li's words, but motioned for him to continue.

Kou Li smiled proudly: "Among our group of classmates, the most knowledgeable and the most advanced belongs to your father and me, followed by Brother Wu Xian." Wu Xiandi is a good person, he is very knowledgeable, hearty and generous, and often fights righteousness and squanders money......"

Kou Li squeezed his eyes at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "The most important thing is that this Wu Xian brother often takes his father to make a fortune. Less than ten years after his father arrived in Bianjing, with the help of Wu Xiandi, he earned a hundred yuan. ”

Kou Ji frowned, he had a hunch that the eighth problem was on the Wu Xian brother in Kou Li's mouth.

Others take you to make money for no reason, either they have a plot against you or want to harm you.

Kou Ji never believed in pie in the sky.

Sure enough, the next thing I saw was that the smile on Kou Li's face was swept away, and some bitterness appeared on his face, and he said: "It's a pity that my father had bad luck a few days ago, and he lost 300 times, and he also got in 50 times for Brother Wu Xian."

The creditor was pressing, and his father had no choice but to pay off the debt. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he almost didn't spit out a mouthful of reverse blood.

Privately giving things to the royal gift, and still think it's not a big mistake?

How big is this?

However, when Kou Ji lowered his head and his eyes fell on the jade belt around his waist, he was relieved.

The things that are given by the emperor are indeed rare things in other people's homes.

But for a person like Kou Zhun who is an old minister of the two dynasties and has always been in the center, it is not unusual.

Every New Year's holiday, the emperor will reward his close courtiers with something.

Kou Zhun has been an official for decades, and he is in four phases, and he is afraid that he will not be able to count the many things he has received.

It is estimated that Kou Zhun himself will occasionally sell two pieces or reward them to others.

When Kou Li was serving by Kou Zhun's side, he thought that he had also seen Kou Zhun reward other people's royal gifts, so he didn't take the imperial gifts to heart.

Only this time, the royal gifts sold by Kou Li were obviously different from other imperial gifts.

Otherwise, Kou Zhun would not have punished him so severely, let alone given him this Congsun Shiwei.
