Chapter 0005 - The Man Who Doesn't Measure Himself (Ask for Collection!) Ask for recommendations! )
Kou Zhun and Wang Shu Weng's son-in-law were drinking tea in the middle courtyard and chatting about political affairs.
Kou Ji and Erbao's master and servant stood in the front yard at the entrance of the main hall, waiting quietly.
At the end of the corridor in the front yard, heads poked out from time to time, frequently looking at the stubborn Kou Ji's master and servant.
Under the peeping eyes of the maids at home, half an hour passed in a flash.
After standing for a long time, Kou Ji and Erbao's legs and feet were a little stiff.
Erbao moved his legs and feet silently, so as to relieve the soreness and numbness on his feet.
Kou Ji didn't move.
His brow furrowed into a Sichuan character.
Previously, through Kou Zhong's reaction, he had guessed that Kou Li's status in the palace was not optimistic, but now through a long wait, his conjecture had been confirmed.
As the saying goes, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly.
can force Kou Zhun to give a junior a face, which shows that Kou Li's crime is not small.
When Kou Ji first arrived in Bianjing, he didn't know the inside story, so he could only wait.
Time flickered, and another half an hour passed.
Erbao's legs began to tremble.
Kou Ji is not much better, his legs and stomach are also trembling, but he is holding on to prevent his legs from trembling, and there are long front plackets and back plackets to cover up, so if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.
"Smack~"
Suddenly.
There was a thunderclap on a sunny day.
The clear blue sky is obscured by dark clouds at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A light rain fell with gusts of wind.
The rain fell on the bluestones, wetting one patch after another.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Koufu was moistened by the rain.
Under the erosion of the wind and rain, the clothes on the master and servant were instantly wet.
Erbao was shivering from the cold, and he asked Kou Ji tremblingly, "Young Master...... Are you waiting? ”
Kou Ji stretched out his hand to greet the drops of rain falling on the eaves, and said lightly: "Wait ......"
The rain formed a cloud of water in the palm of his hand.
As soon as he flipped his hand, the water fell to the ground, making a splash.
"This rain doesn't make sense!"
Cang Tian naturally wouldn't reason with Kou Ji, and it wouldn't care about the helplessness in Kou Ji's tone.
However, Kou Zhun and Wang Shuweng, who were sitting in the middle courtyard and tasting tea, cared.
in the gazebo.
When the light rain and light wind fell, the family members who were waiting on the side dropped the grass curtains around the pavilion.
Kou Zhun was still lying on his side on the straw mat, only a few new pieces of charcoal had been added to the small stove in front of him.
When the light rain fell, Kou Zhun's eyes unconsciously glanced at the front yard.
Wang Shu, who knew Kou Zhun's temper well, guessed Kou Zhun's mind just by looking at it.
Immediately, he called, "Where is Kou Zhong?" ”
Kou Zhong, who had been waiting at the entrance of the small entrance of the middle courtyard and the front yard, heard the summons and quickly appeared outside the pavilion.
"What does my uncle command?"
Wang Shu tugged at his placket, sat up straight, and asked, "That kid is still standing in the front yard?" ”
Kou Zhong hunched his waist and said with a wry smile: "I haven't moved." ”
Wang Shu glanced at Kou Zhun without a trace, and said with a smile: "It's a bit insistent......"
Kou Zhun flicked his sleeves and said with a disgusted expression: "If it rains a little, you can enjoy the glory and wealth, and the old man is willing to be drenched to death by the rain." ”
Wang Shu said with a smile: "Compared to the sinister in officialdom, a little rain is nothing. But his stubborn temper is very similar to yours. ”
Kou Zhun opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Wang Shu hit the railway while it was hot: "Do you want to see it?" ”
Kou Zhun muttered dissatisfiedly: "I want to see you, but the old man won't see him." ”
Wang Shu stood up with a smile, put on his boots with Kou Zhong's help, arched his hand at Kou Zhun, and said, "Then I'll go and meet." ”
Kou Zhun didn't stop it, just frowned, and reminded: "Kou Li is very cunning, he was just on a rainy night, kneeling and begging the old man to guide him in learning, the old man remembered that he was a studious person, so he accepted him as a servant, but he didn't expect ......"
Kou Zhun's words don't need to be said thoroughly, Wang Shu already understands.
As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse will make holes.
Kou Zhun is reminding Wang Shu not to be deceived by Kou Ji's miserable sale.
Wang Shu nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I will take the exam for him, if he can pass the exam for his son-in-law, he must not be a treacherous person." ”
Kou Zhun waved his hand indifferently and said: "Whatever you think, anyway, the old man has already made up his mind, and in a few days, he will send their father and son back to Huazhou." ”
Wang Shu said no more, arched his hand, and left the pavilion.
Kou Zhong held an umbrella to help him keep out the rain.
The two moved into the main hall.
Less.
Wang Shu, accompanied by Kou Zhong, appeared at the door of the main hall.
Kou Ji's master and servant saw that a figure had finally appeared at the door of the main hall, and their hearts were also relieved.
Erbao immediately lay on the ground and was about to give a salute.
was kicked by Kou Ji without a trace.
Then in Erbao's blank eyes.
Kou Ji clasped his hands into fists, bowed down and said, "Little nephew Kou Ji, I've seen my uncle." ”
Erbao hurriedly saluted and said, "Villain Erbao, please meet my aunt." ”
Wang Shu was stunned for a moment, stared at Kou Ji with interest and smiled: "How can you conclude that I am your uncle?" ”
Kou Ji straightened up and said without humility or arrogance: "Shicai, the housekeeper said that my uncle accompanied my grandfather to discuss matters in the hall, your age is obviously younger than your grandfather, and you can let the housekeeper grovel to accompany you, so you are naturally the uncle of the little nephew." ”
Wang Shu smiled and nodded, "I'm not old, but I'm a little smarter, better than your father." ”
Kou Ji bowed down and said, "I don't deserve my uncle's praise." ”
Wang Shu laughed and said: "You're welcome, I scolded your father for being stupid, and you didn't even protect him." It seems that you guessed that something was going on in the house, and it had something to do with your father. ”
Kou Ji didn't hide it, and said frankly: "Guess one or two." ”
Wang Shu slowly turned his back and said, "I won't hide it from you, your father did a stupid thing, a big stupid thing." This stupidity was enough to put your grandfather in danger. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Shu looked straight at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "Your father has been punished by your grandfather to kneel in the ancestral hall, and he has no way to remedy this matter. I wonder if you have the guts to take this matter and remedy it? ”
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed.
Wang Shu is a member of the three grades, and he is a pivotal figure in the court, and it must not be a trivial matter to be considered a big stupid thing by him.
As soon as he entered the mansion and didn't understand anything, Wang Shu opened his mouth to hand over the mess caused by Kou Li to him to clean up.
What is its purpose?
Temptation, school exam, embarrassment, or something else?
Kou Ji stood there and muttered for a long time, and finally decided to agree to the matter first.
Although he still didn't understand what Wang Shu's intention was for him to help Kou Li clean up the mess, he had to take the matter.
He didn't know what stupid thing that cheap father had done, but he knew in his heart that Kou Li's status in the Kou Mansion had begun to waver.
As Kou Li's only son, he and Kou Li are both prosperous and lossy.
He came to Bianjing City to enjoy his wealth, but he didn't come to Bianjing City to be angry.
What's more, Kou Ji has Kou Ji's own pride, he can not enjoy the wealth of Kou Mansion, but he will never allow it, because he lost his identity as an official for the third generation and was driven back to his hometown in Huazhou.
The tragic death of the twelve wealthy servants who followed him out of Huazhou, Kou Ji has always remembered in his heart, and he can't let those twelve people die in vain.
Even if he wants to go back to Huazhou, he has to return to his hometown in fine clothes, instead of being driven back in disgrace.
So, no matter what stupid thing Cory did, he had to take it and fix it.
Immediately, Kou Ji Zhengse said: "It is natural for the father to repay the debt of the son. ”
Wang Shu looked surprised, and said with a pout: "I just tried it, but I didn't expect you to dare to take it." It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. ”
Kou Ji smiled, "You have to try, what if it is solved?" ”
Wang Shu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "It seems that your kid used to live in the countryside and don't understand the sinister nature of Bianjing City." I must remind you that what your father did, even if I did it myself, may not be able to solve it satisfactorily. ”
Kou Ji tilted his head and smiled, "I still want to try." ”
"Good!"
Wang Shu applauded on his lips, but in his heart he looked down on Kou Ji by three points.
People who are responsible will naturally be appreciated.
But people who don't measure themselves will be annoying.
In Wang Shu's eyes, Kou Ji is the person who can't help himself.
