Chapter 0198: Kou Li Who Has Become Smarter
The identity of the woman, Kou Ji roughly guessed one or two.
It stands to reason that he was a little rude, but when the two met for the first time, the woman did not care about it.
The woman looked at Kou Ji and said softly, "Da Lang doesn't seem to like concubine sisters very much? ”
Kou Ji looked at her and said lightly: "I have never met you, so I can't talk about whether I like it or not." ”
The woman smiled indifferently: "Da Lang is pretending to be confused with his concubine...... The concubine can see through the identity of the concubine at a glance, and the eldest lang must also be able to see through the identity of the concubine. ”
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, "I may not be very smart. ”
The woman shook her head slowly and said, "Da Lang said that he was laughing, Da Lang was only sixteen years old, and he was already in the fifth rank of official residence. There is no one in the world who can compare to Da Lang, except for those royal relatives and nobles.
They relied on the shadow of their ancestors to sit in a high position as soon as they left their careers.
And Da Lang relied on his own ability to sit in a high position.
If Da Lang is not smart, then I am afraid that the whole world is stupid and stupid. ”
Kou Ji smiled and said: "I also rely on the shade to make up for the office, and I am not much different from those royal relatives and nobles." ”
The woman smiled and said: "Da Lang's filial piety is spread all over the world, and everyone says that Da Lang is a pure filial piety person, which can not be done by relying on the shade." ”、
Kou Ji said quietly: "Most of the people who are pure and filial are pure stupid people. Maybe it was because others saw me as stupid that they helped me promote my filial piety, so that they could take the opportunity to mock me. ”
The woman was stunned, gritted her silver teeth, and said in a showdown: "Does Da Lang really want to pretend to be confused with his concubine?" ”
Kou Ji sighed, bowed, and said, "Kou Ji has seen his aunt......"
The woman glanced at Kou Ji, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't pretend to be confused?" ”
Kou Ji shook his head, "In front of smart people, I can't pretend." ”
The woman shook her head and said, "The concubine doesn't look like you're pretending to be confused, but it's like you don't want to see the concubine's sisters." ”
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Suddenly, there are a few more aunts, and I can't accept it." ”
The woman looked at Kou Ji and said, "The wood is already in the boat, and if you don't accept it, you have to accept it." ”
Kou Ji nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable. ”
After a pause, Kou Ji said again: "Auntie, you have an extraordinary conversation, an elegant temperament, and a good appearance, you must be from a good background, how can you ......?"
Halfway through his words, Kou Ji stopped.
In front of my mother, I said that it was not the one who was a father, which was a bit wrong.
The woman glanced at it and pierced Kou Ji's thoughts, "Are you trying to ask, why did the concubine take a fancy to your father and commit to your father?" ”
Kou Ji hesitated, but nodded.
Kou Ji felt that Kou Li was useless except for having a father who was the prime minister.
Seeing Kou Ji nodding, the woman smiled indifferently: "When I was young, the concubine relied on some family wealth to chase talents and heroes, but the family wealth was scattered, and there was no result.
Those talented people feel that the concubine is nostalgic for various poetry meetings all day long, like a dusty woman, more like a lady. Therefore no one would marry a concubine. I always feel that marrying a concubine will tarnish their reputation.
Among those reckless heroes, most of them are fame and reputation-seeking, with a reputation of chivalry and benevolence on the surface, but they do some dirty things behind their backs, and their concubines look down on them.
In a flash, the concubine is forty.
The family's fortune was also wiped out.
The concubine body also extinguished the mind of chasing talents and heroes.
On the way back to his hometown with his father, he encountered robbers, robbed him of his money, and almost killed him.
Thanks to your dad who showed up in time with someone and saved our father and daughter.
The moment your father appeared, although he was a little embarrassed, the concubine looked at him like a hero.
The concubine was committed to him and made a concubine. ”
After listening to the woman's story, Kou Ji was stunned, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "What a character......
The woman was stunned for a moment, and slowly shook her head, "What kind of person is a concubine?" ”
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "I mean Ling Zun is really a character. He can spoil you, get used to you, and scatter all his wealth for you, he is really a character. ”
Such a pampered girl is rare even in later generations, let alone in this ancient era with strict etiquette.
Hearing this, the woman's expression darkened, and she said in a low voice: "The old father died with a smile after the concubine committed himself to your father......"
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Ling Zun's lifelong wish is probably to see you have a good home. ”
When the woman heard this, some wept.
She hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her cuff, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Kou Ji, "Let you see the joke." ”
Kou Ji shook his head, "No ......"
The woman wiped away her tears, tilted her head, stared at Kou Ji, and smiled with a slightly red eye: "The concubine stopped you, not to let you listen to the concubine's past. The concubine was in your garden, and when she saw that you asked someone to seal the study, but no one appeared, she guessed that you might not like the concubine sisters, so she caught up with you, wanted to see you, and told you. ”
Kou Ji groaned, "You want to convince me to accept you. ”
The woman nodded and said, "There are eight concubines and sisters, and most of them are hard-working people. The concubine was saved by your father, so she is committed to your father. Most of the other sisters are committed to your father in order to break free from their hard lives.
The concubine sisters are committed to your father, and they don't want anything, they just want to accompany your father, and they will live for the rest of their lives.
I never thought of giving birth to a boy and half a woman and competing for favor with you.
Therefore, the concubine hopes that you can treat the concubine sisters generously. ”
"Competing for favor?"
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, and turned to the woman, "You're thinking too much. With my status today, I can't compete with anyone. Even if my father had ten or eight more sons, what would he have to do with me?
Will their presence affect my status in the Koufu? Can it affect my position in the court?
Obviously not.
If I can't, why should I care? ”
The woman looked puzzled and said, "Then why did you not want to go in when you arrived at the gate of your garden and learned that your concubine sister was inside?" Why did you detain Sister Hu's son and put him in the prison of the Criminal Department? ”
Kou Ji glanced at the woman up and down, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are here to beg for Hu Qing's mercy." ”
The woman hesitated, then nodded, "Not bad...... After Sister Hu learned that Hu Qing'er was detained by you and sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, she washed her face with tears, but she didn't dare to speak. The concubine came out to stop you, wanting to ask you for clarification. ”
Kou Ji stared at the woman and said seriously: "The reason why I detained Hu Qing is because he is too stupid, so stupid that there is no cure. He was able to listen to the instigation of others, and without my father's consent, he went to Bianjing City to confess his relatives.
Fortunately, he bumped into my hands, and if he bumped into someone with ulterior motives, it is difficult to guarantee that others will not make a fuss about it.
If he had run into my grandfather's hands, it would be a question of whether their mother and son would have survived. ”
When the woman heard this, her heart jumped, and she hurriedly said, "Hu Qing entered the Kou clan, that is your father nodded......"
Before the woman could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Kou Ji forcefully, "What's the use of my father nodding?" If you want to add a new ding to the door of the Koufu, it will have to be my grandfather's nod. ”
Kou Ji stared at the woman and reminded seriously: "Kou Fu, it is my grandfather who is in charge, not my father. ”
When the woman heard this, she was a little flustered, and Kou Ji continued: "I detained Hu Qing just to let him have a long memory, so that he can learn what people can listen to and who people can't listen to.
The water in Bianjing City is very deep, and if you are not careful, you will die. ”
When the woman heard this, she hurriedly nodded and said, "It's time for him to remember it longer...... Then when will you release Hu Qing? ”
Kou Ji muttered, "Then let's see if my father can convince my grandfather." If he can convince my grandfather not to pursue Hu Qing, then I will let Hu Qing out. If he can't convince my grandfather, then Hu Qing would be better off staying in prison. ”
If Kou Zhun really wants to investigate this matter deeply, then Hu Qing will come out of prison, his life will not be guaranteed, and it will be safer to stay in prison.
The woman heard the deep meaning of Kou Ji's words, and nodded heavily, "It's still Da Lang's thoughtfulness." ”
Kou Ji waved his hand and said: "In the future, you don't call me Da Lang, just call me Kou Ji, I am not used to being called Da Lang." ”
The woman nodded and said, "The concubine's family name is Qiao, you can call the concubine Aunt Qiao." ”
Kou Ji bowed, "Aunt Qiao, I'll leave first." ”
Aunt Qiao nodded.
Koji turned and left.
As soon as he crossed the corridor, he saw Kou Zhun enter the middle courtyard with a black face, and Kou Li hunched his waist and followed behind him obediently.
The dumb tiger in front of people, who has rarely appeared, appeared uncharacteristically beside Kou Zhun instead.
He opened his mouth to Kou Zhun and spoke silently.
Kou Zhun finished reading the mouth shape of the dumb tiger, raised his eyes and looked around, and saw Kou Ji at a glance.
Kou Ji pulled his legs to run, but Kou Zhun said with a dark face: "You come over to the old man." ”
Kou Ji could only hang his head and come to Kou Zhun's side in a gray manner.
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji and shouted, "What is your intention in stopping the dumb tiger from making a move twice?" ”
Kou Ji hurriedly said: "Those two people are not guilty of death. ”
Kou Zhun snorted coldly: "The dumb tiger was sent by the old man to protect you, he usually won't make a move, once he makes a move, it means that someone will hurt your life."
For the sake of someone who will hurt your life, you stopped the dumb tiger from acting and made him go against his principles. ”
Kou Ji hurriedly said: "I have a mistake......
Kou Zhun turned his head and said to the dumb tiger: "See, the old man has already reprimanded him, and he won't stop you from making a move next time." ”
The dumb tiger glared at Kou Ji and disappeared in front of the people.
The corners of Kou Zhun's mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile, and Kou Ji looked at the smile on the corner of Kou Zhun's mouth with a strange expression.
He didn't understand why Kou Zhun was laughing.
Kou Zhun didn't say a word, and took Kou Ji's father and son to the hall.
After sitting down, he asked, "Kou Li, do you have something to tell the old man?" ”
Kou Li rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "Dad, the child can't speak, let Ji'er tell you." He knew all about it. ”
When Kou Ji heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Kou Li with a stunned expression.
Okay, Kouli, have you learned to pull people into the top cylinder?
When Kou Li saw Kou Ji looking at him, he quietly waved his hand to Kou Ji, seeing what he meant, he wanted Kou Ji to help him top the cylinder, and by the way, he would help him say two more good words.
But he didn't know that Kou Ji and Kou Zhun had already become grandchildren who talked about everything.
His little bit of caution, Kou Ji and Kou Zhun saw it clearly.
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Li meaningfully, looked at Kou Ji, and said faintly: "Since you know, then you can say it." ”
Kou Ji arched his hand and said, "Back to my grandfather's words, I helped my father take eight concubines, and by the way, I succeeded a son." ”
When Kou Zhun heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he glared at Kou Ji.
The old man let you talk about things, and didn't let you tell jokes to the old man.
But when Korry heard this, he was very moved.
If it weren't for Kou Zhun here, he would definitely have to praise Kou Ji for not succeeding.
Good son, I helped my father top all the cylinders, and my father didn't hurt you in vain...... Although Dad didn't hurt you......
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji and said coldly: "Your father has lived alone for many years and accepted a few concubines, which is very common, but it is not good for his stepson." Although the threshold of Koufu is not high, not everyone can enter.
The old man has only one grandson, that is Kou Ji, and the rest is irrelevant. ”
Kou Zhun said that the threshold of Kou Mansion is not high, which is a humble word.
But his words represent his attitude.
When Koli heard this, he hurriedly said, "The child understands, the child understands......"
Kou Zhun grimaced and said lightly: "Go down." ”
Kou Li hurriedly gave a salute, ready to call Kou Ji to leave.
Kou Zhun glared at him, and he fled out of the main hall in a hurry, not even calling his son.
As soon as Kou Li left, Kou Zhun's face softened a little, he opened his mouth and sighed, "You father...... That's all it is in this life. ”
Kou Ji smiled on the side: "Don't you still have my grandson?" ”
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji and scolded with a smile: "You are also an uneasy one." What else did I say I helped my father take eight concubines, if this word spreads, others will have to laugh off their big teeth. ”
Kou Ji smiled: "How can others hear what the three of us say in the room." ”
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said no more.
Seeing that he was silent, Kou Ji was slightly stunned, and saw that he seemed to be listening to something, so he didn't make a sound.
After listening to it for a long time, Kou Zhun suddenly grinned, "People are gone...... Our grandparents can speak openly. ”
"Dumb Tiger?"
Kou Ji asked.
Kou Zhun nodded slowly and said with a smile: "The old man is really happy today. ”
Kou Ji said confusedly: "Why are you happy? ”
Kou Zhun pointed to the beam of the room and said with a smile: "This guy has been with the old man for half his life, and the old man has never seen him angry." Even though he was hit by two arrows in order to save the old man, he didn't shout.
Now that he can stop him twice for you, complain to the old man, and the old man is really happy. ”
After a pause, Kou Zhun sighed and said, "If the old man had known that this method would make him angry, he would have done it a long time ago, and he would not have been stunned to follow the old man for half his life."
He has been with the old man for half his life, and the old man has feelings for him and doesn't want him to live his whole life like a piece of wood. ”
Kou Ji suddenly said: "I see...... Then I'll be angry with him in the future? ”
Kou Zhun shook his head, "It's too much...... Take it easy...... If you can make him angry, it means that you have a relationship with him. The old man asked him to follow you, which is considered to be the right thing.
In the future, if the old man is gone, you must treat him well. ”
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "Grandfather has to live a long life, he was raised by you, and it is better for you to take care of it yourself." ”
Kou Zhun pointed at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "You, you, pick up the nice words." ”
