The ox cart rolled along, and Ji Shi's face in the carriage was gloomy, and his hands tightly hugged the brocade boxes containing the Dharma. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 For the first time in his life, he was not happy to have obtained the treasure of his predecessors, his mood was mixed, annoyed, worried, and indignant, and as soon as he looked at Shen Zhezi, he revealed undisguised disgust.

Shen Zhezi was also calm, and comforted Ji with a smile and said, "Ji Jun, please don't mind, the few ink treasures I damaged before will be collected and sent to the mansion later." ”

"The original works of the predecessors, one less is a copy, how to compensate for this? Can you bring the dead back to life? ”

Ji Guo said angrily that Shen Zhezi's behavior was simply an unforgivable and vicious blasphemy in the eyes of him, a person who loves calligraphy. However, the other party's promise also made him quite moved, and he barely suppressed the disgust in his heart, and made his tone calmer: "Although I promised to introduce you, my uncle has been ill recently, and he sleeps and wakes up. I'm only responsible for bringing you into the mansion, but I can't guarantee whether I'll be able to see my uncle. ”

Shen Zhezi also knew that Ji Zhan was not a lie, Ji Zhan was over seventy years old, and he was riddled with illness a few years earlier, and he was the only remaining soldier in Wuzhong, and his health was indeed worrying, otherwise he would not have been lying to protect the Sixth Army. Soon after the rebellion of Wang Dun was put down, the old man died in his family.

In such a situation, Shen Zhezi still has to see Ji Zhan, which is indeed difficult for a strong man. But he is also desperate, otherwise he would not want to disturb the final peace of an old man who is about to die.

"Reluctant invitation, it's right and wrong. I am very grateful that Ji Jun can introduce him on his behalf. If I can't see Ji Guolao, I am not lucky, and I have nothing to do with Ji Jun, and I dare not invite again. ”

Hearing the young man's statement, Ji Jing was relieved. He was also afraid that this kid would not be able to see his uncle and then get angry with him and get back to the Fati.

The ox cart shop left the market, then turned into Wuyi Lane from the east side, and after a short walk, it stopped at the side gate of a mansion. However, even this side gate is guarded by the guards and sergeants, and no idle people are allowed to enter and exit, which shows that the Ji family is strong. If it weren't for the Ji clansman leading the way, if Shen Zhezi rashly paid homage, I was afraid that it would be difficult to enter this door.

After waiting at the side door for a while, Ji reported his name before the servants of the palace came to lead the people in. Shen Zhezi's several guards were not allowed to enter, so they could only stay outside the mansion.

Compared with the overseas Chinese Wang family, the Ji family can be regarded as the landlord of Jiankang, so this mansion located in Wuyi Lane also covers an extremely wide area. After stepping into it, you will see the murmuring water flowing into Cheongdam, the bamboo and wood are quite interesting, the bluestone paved stone road twists and turns, and a wooden attic is far away, walking in the meantime, as if you are in a quiet mountain field, not like the bustling Gyeonggi at all.

At the end of the stone road, under the attic, stood a young man with a sad face, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and when Ji Jing and Shen Zhezi approached, he stepped forward to salute Ji and call his uncle. This young man is Ji Zhan's grandson Ji You, and now the only heir of the Ji family, Ji Zhan's second son has already died before his father.

"Literature, has my uncle been getting better lately?"

Ji Jing stepped forward and asked.

When Ji You heard this, his expression became more and more gloomy, although he had a noble family background, he lacked human care, his closest relatives died one after another, and now even his only grandfather is about to die. For a young man who has not yet reached the weak crown, it is indeed an unbearable blow, and when he saw Ji Guan, an elder of the same sect, his mood was a little sad, and he choked up slightly: "Father woke up for a moment in the morning, and he is still asleep. ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Ji You noticed the strange young man Shen Zhezi behind him, so he asked, "Uncle, who is this little Langjun?" ”

Ji Guo's face was slightly embarrassed, and seeing that Ji You's mood was so low, he regretted more and more that he had brought Shen Zhezi into the mansion.

Shen Zhezi stepped forward and saluted Ji You: "Wuxing Shen Zhezi, my father is pretending to be a monk and taking the liberty to visit and ask for advice from Ji Guolao. ”

When Ji You heard Shen Zhezi's introduction, his face suddenly sank, and he didn't speak to Shen Zhezi, but turned to look at Ji Quan, his eyes showed a look of blame, and he scolded lightly: "How did my uncle bring this irrelevant person into my house!" ”

Ji Zheng's expression was even more embarrassed, and then he was angry with Shen Zhezi and glared at him, but he didn't know how to answer Ji You.

Shen Zhezi was thick-skinned, and he didn't care because of his master's indifference, and said: "The old man is a Wu Chinese scholar, and the southerner is crowned. All the people of my Jiangdong inherit their virtues, although the boy is young, he was also born in Wudi, how can he be irrelevant people? ”

Although he was unhappy in his heart, he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, hearing the young man's praise, Ji You was not too rude, turned to Shen Zhezi and said: "Xiao Langjun is polite, it's just that my family is troubled and inconvenient to entertain guests, so please go back." ”

It was not easy to enter the mansion, how could Shen Zhezi be willing to leave like this, turning a deaf ear to Ji You's eviction order, and stubbornly said: "The boy is not a guest, Lang Jun doesn't have to be polite." I just want to see the old man and not disturb the house. ”

Seeing that the evil guest was difficult to drive, Ji You became angry, pointed at Shen Zhezi and shouted: "My family has nothing to do with the Wuxing Shen family, and it is rude for you to come uninvited." If you don't leave, don't blame me for not being polite anymore! "It's going to be driven away.

Seeing that Ji You was really angry, Ji You felt even more embarrassed, and stepped forward to pull Shen Zhezi: "I told you about this situation a long time ago, but you didn't listen." My uncle really can't see guests, no matter how stubborn you are, it will make people hate your family even more! ”

Shen Zhezi took a step back, looked directly at the angry Ji You, and said loudly: "Fifty is not a dead life, and the destiny of heaven is certain. Although the elder of the country is over the age of old, but looking at his life, he has made outstanding achievements, and he has never regretted one or two losses! Even if you linger on the sickbed, you still have to go up to the king and go down to the security community, and the whole world admires you! ”

"Lang Jun, you alienate me with your relatives, despise me with your old teeth, and prevent me from seeing the virtuous, is this the truth of the old man's words and deeds? Ji's mansion is thousands, but there is no place for children to stand! The old man of the country has not died, and he has been defeated, Lang Jun wants to let the old man sit up in shock when he is dying and sick, and leave flaws in his life? ”

"Shut up!"

Ji Zheng didn't expect that the situation would evolve, and he was already very annoyed that he shouldn't have brought this rebellious young man into the mansion, so he was so ashamed that he stepped forward and pushed Shen Zhezi with his hand, wanting to drive Shen Zhezi out of the mansion.

Shen Zhezi was young and frail, how could he withstand the vigorous push of an adult, and suddenly fell to the ground, but he still did not give up and insisted, and hugged the green bamboo on the side of the road with both hands.

"Uncle, stop it."

Ji You hung his head and muttered for a long time, the young man's words shook his heartstrings like a hammer, and he was even more moved when he saw his desperate insistence on refusing to leave. He really didn't want irrelevant people to disturb the peace of his grandfather's last time, but as Shen Zhezi said, he didn't want his grandfather, who had been self-cleaning all his life, to leave flaws in the end.

He stepped forward to help Shen Zhezi, who was half-fallen to the ground, and said solemnly: "I don't know why you have to see my eldest father, but my eldest father is sick and weak, and he really has no energy to entertain guests." You can stay in my house, but I don't know when Father will wake up. You have to be at peace, and don't disturb the purity of the house, or I will kick you out no matter what you say!" ”

Shen Zhezi rolled around, and finally got permission to stay, and he felt extremely guilty in his heart, because this request was too difficult for a strong man. Patting the dust and grass clippings on his body, he said to Ji Youchang seriously: "Lang Jun is a truly elegant and humble gentleman, who can allow me, a wicked guest, to stay for a while." Lang Jun, please rest assured, as long as I stay in one place and wait for the elder to wake up and face me for a while, I will never disturb the peace of your mansion again. ”

Although he promised Shen Zhezi to stay, Ji You didn't have a good impression of him, turned around and walked back to the house, and said to Ji Qian: "Uncle, come together." ”

Ji was worried in his heart, and he didn't worry about leaving Shen Zhezi alone in the mansion, lest this kid make any more trouble. He followed closely behind the young man, and made up his mind that if this kid was still making trouble, he would be kicked out of the house no matter what.

Led the two into a building on the left side of the atrium, Ji You left on his own, he didn't want to look at the young man's face for a moment. Before leaving, he also instructed the servants to guard the door and not allow Shen Zhezi to wander around.

Then, Ji Youcai walked back to the inner mansion and went straight to the attic where his grandfather was raised. Inside and outside the attic, maids stood still, waiting for a dispatch to come at any time.

Ji You quietly walked into the attic, and listened to the rough wheezing sound of his grandfather's breath in the outer room, and his mood fell again. Standing still for a moment, he turned into a quiet room next to his grandfather's bedroom, where a middle-aged man in a wide robe and big sleeves was half-lying on a couch, his eyes closed.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at Ji You, who looked worried, and motioned for him to sit under him, and said softly: "Literature, you go and take a rest, I will take care of you here." ”

Ji You sighed and said to the middle-aged man: "Shibo, can my eldest father's health still improve?" ”

After asking this, he saw that the middle-aged man was silent, and he said abruptly: "Fifty is not a bad word, the destiny of heaven is fixed, and the eldest father is too old to be old, and it is already a rare longevity." It's just that when I think that I will be alone and have nothing to rely on in the future, I feel desolate and sad in my heart. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression was different, and he recited a few words, feeling that he was open-minded.

At this time, a crisp sound suddenly sounded in the inner room, and the two people in the quiet room hurriedly got up and walked in, and saw the crane-haired old man standing on the ground, looking peaceful.

"Father, when did you wake up?" Ji You hurriedly stepped forward and served the soup in his hand.

The old man pointed at the young man with Ruyi in his hand, and his expression was a little displeased: "Fifty is not for death, the destiny of heaven is fixed, since you know, why can't you see it?" Hearing the truth is for you to do it, but if it is only a word, what good will it do you? ”

Ji Yougong should be taught, and after serving his grandfather soup, he saw that his spirit was not bad, and then he remembered that there was a villain in the door who couldn't be driven away, so he talked about it again.

The middle-aged man next to him was a little displeased: "Your eldest father wants to recuperate, and it is inconvenient to meet guests." ”

"I don't know, it's just that little boy ......" Ji You smiled bitterly and repeated Shen Zhezi's strong words.

After listening to this, Ji Zhan smiled: "I'm already this age, but within the punishment, why not be afraid of saying wrong." However, that little boy is so strong that you can't even deal with it, so you might as well meet my rising handsome man in Wuzhong. ”
