Chapter 6: Grace and Judgment

PS: Regarding the speed of lifting the ban on "Lingyun Zhiwei", the speed of lifting the ban will be accelerated when the next new book after "Qianjun" is uploaded, please understand! Thank you!

He Fu Rongzhi stood proudly in the study, in just three years, the power of the He family was once again all over the government and the opposition, and for a while, the villains who were originally scattered like birds and beasts when they lost their power all stammered. He Furong didn't bother to care about these behaviors, so he ordered people to receive them politely, and as for those who asked for help, they did what they could according to the size of the matter. This kind of high-ranking and not arrogant behavior immediately won him a lot of praise. He now deeply understands the fact that only the consolidation of the Holy Grace is the foundation of everything, and starting from the small things on weekdays can show his generosity.

"Dad, what are your orders for calling me?" After going to court, He Mobin learned that his father wanted to see him, so he hurried into the study. It didn't take long for him to be promoted to the head of the household, and he was cautious on weekdays, so he got along very well with his colleagues, and even the head of the household, Yue Qianfan, who had always been jealous of the He family, also had a good impression of him. He Mobin is also deeply helpless about being an official, now that his eldest brother has passed away, even if he is reluctant, he has to pick up the burden of the family. But after all, he still can't get rid of the habit of being a scholar, which is also what He Furong dislikes the most.

He Furong glanced at his son's respectful appearance and sighed deeply. It's not that he doesn't know that his son just reluctantly left his beloved books and classics, but there is no successor to the He family, so he can only cultivate this nerd well, otherwise after a hundred years, the He family will really fall into the middle of the family.

"Bin'er, you have a different identity now, you can't be submissive in the court, the squire is also a member of the second grade, if it weren't for the father's hard work, and the emperor had comfort because of your eldest brother's death, this official position would not be your turn anyway. There are many people in the DPRK and China who are eyeing the He family, and they must not be allowed to seize the handle, they need to make some achievements, so as to live up to the name of the He family. Sooner or later, your father's title will have to be inherited by you, and if you only befriend the officials now instead of convincing them sincerely, the road ahead will not be easy. ”

He Mobin nodded respectfully, but there was an embarrassed look on his face. His reputation as a nerd is too famous among the court officials, and he is as well-known as the eldest prince of the Hai family, and now standing in the court, he can still feel a strange look in everyone's eyes. Although his father taught him a lot from the experience of his predecessor, Tobe Shoshu, and he also took care of his errands in an orderly manner, he could not fully compensate for the impact of seniority.

"Fortunately, it was you who took over the errand of the household department, and if you were someone else, Yue Qianfan might not let it go easily, and then you can pull people down by making a stumbling block at will. You are now the heir of the He family, with different statuses, and you are a good person, and you can also be attentive in those mundane affairs, so you can stand still, if you are your unsuccessful brother, hum! He Furong couldn't help but think of his young son again, and his face was immediately ugly.

He Mobin knew that his father was thinking about the bad deeds of his fourth brother Mo Lin again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said something else. Since he was sent to Gansu, He Morin never wrote to his family again, and he did not return to Beijing until a few years ago. However, from the first time he saw He Molin, He Mobin felt a deep chill, and the resentment and resentment emanating from the fourth brother almost made him shudder, and even his father did not want to see this son.

He Mobin was vaguely aware that the fourth brother had changed, in that cruel place in Gansu, coupled with the fact that the family had lost power at that time, he must have suffered a lot, so that this gentleman who had always only known how to eat, drink and have fun could become what he is today, and how many unknown pains there were in the middle, he just couldn't guess without his brain. However, the father was still obsessed with the drag of his young son, and insisted on refusing to reconcile with He Molin, and now the father and son are strangers except that they still live under the same roof.

After resigning from the study, He Mobin thought about it again and again, and decided to meet the fourth brother. After returning from the northwest, He Molin refused to stay in his original residence, but chose a remote guest room, and spent his days hanging out outside, but never hanging out with his former fox friends and dogs, which made the family extremely strange. I don't know if I can meet him today, He Mobin shook his head helplessly, after all, he is a close relative of the same father and mother, and he and the fourth brother are still closer than the sick and weak third brother He Moqi.

He Mobin walked through the corridors, and then bypassed a small garden that was almost deserted, and only then did he arrive at his present residence. He knocked lightly on the door and called, "Fourth brother! ”

An impatient voice came from the door, "The door is not locked, just come in by yourself!" ”

As soon as He Mobin entered the door, he saw He Molin with his feet high on the table, as if he had not seen his brother at all. After a while, he lazily asked, "The dignified Zuo Shilang, how can you have such idle time to come to me, a loser?" Aren't you afraid that the old man will be angry? ”

He Mobin couldn't help frowning, of course he could hear the sarcasm and disdain in the fourth brother's words, "Fourth brother, my father just had a hatred of iron and steel, you went to Gansu to suffer on behalf of your father, he won't miss your love, but he can't let go." I will persuade him again, you don't want to live in this place anymore, I have already told my subordinates to clean up the original room, you better move back to live! ”

"Don't dare to care about Lord Lao!" He Molin threw out a sentence stiffly, and his face had completely changed, "How much I have suffered in Gansu, the old man doesn't care, but makes that kind of look to show people, isn't it snobbery?" Parents in the world all think about their children, how can he be a father like this! Now I think of the rumors among the people, hum, I'm not even as good as the third child raised by the little lady, maybe it's just the seed that the old man has when he is outside overnight! He shouted hoarsely, as if in a frenzy, but fortunately there was no one outside, and no one could hear him.

He Mobin was furious when he heard this, and he shook his hand with a slap, the force of this blow was not light, He Molin couldn't dodge, and half of his face suddenly swollen. He also ignored the injuries on his face, stared at his second brother resentfully, and said word by word:

"From childhood to adulthood, the old man's most painful thing is the boss, and it is you who suffers from it, and even the third child has more favors than me. When I was a little poor in reading, he would talk to you about the boss, and he would never talk about affection. Later, when I failed to study, he even said that I was a thorn in my side, and I wanted to be beaten to death with a stick. Later, he lost his official position and went to work, you all just removed your title, and the other sisters did not have any punishment, but I was going to go to that ghost place in Gansu to fill the army, if I was really raised by my mother, how could he be so ruthless? ”

He Mobin was speechless for a moment, although it was the emperor's will, but his father's partiality was obvious, but could he be blamed for it?

"Mo Lin, my father taught you just for your own good, the He family is a wealthy family, and you can't let others laugh at you when you go out. If you can't study, forget it, you spend all day drinking outside, and you have caused a lot of trouble, even the emperor has heard of it. At that time, when Lord Bao came to ask for the crime, he also specifically mentioned this article, even if my father wrote to intercede for you, the emperor may not be able to allow it. You blindly say that the responsibility is on your father, it is too unfilial piety, listen to the words of the second brother, admit your mistake to the old man, and just be soft, after all, you are still his son. ”

He Mobin originally hoped that saying these words would make the fourth brother change his mind, but who expected that He Molin would not appreciate it at all. I saw him laughing, and there was already a ruthless look in his eyes: "Even if I am wrong, I have already atoned for my sins in Gansu in the past few years, and I will never understand the old man's face again." Second brother, if you really repay me as a younger brother, lend me a sum of money, from now on, I will never bother you again, you will no longer have this fourth brother! ”

He Mobin was taken aback, and wanted to say something to dissuade him, but he saw that He Molin had already pulled out a snowy dagger and pointed it directly at his throat. "I didn't learn much in the army, but I learned all this kind of lifeless scoundrel behavior. If the second brother doesn't want to see me lying on the ground, don't nag some nonsense like filial piety, just give a straightforward reply! If not, I will never pester you again! ”

He Mobin glanced at the fourth brother deeply and wordlessly, his disappointment was overflowing, he slowly took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and shook it fiercely. He Molin grabbed it quickly, and the thin piece of paper immediately entered his palm. "Only a thousand taels?" He seemed a little dissatisfied.

"This is the usual amount of money that I just got today." He Mobin replied lightly, pondered for a long time, and then took off a jade pendant from his waist casually, and then took off the wrench on his hand, "These are also worth some money, you can take them to cash, and I will send someone to the pawnshop to redeem them when I go back." Mo Lin, I would like to say a word here, if you fall into the name of the He family, I will never spare you! ”

He Molin's heart sank, he had never seen such a serious look from his second brother, and he was already a little jealous. But then he remembered what had happened to him, and suddenly hardened again. "I will keep the words of the second brother in mind, from now on, I have nothing to do with the He family, and there is no problem of losing the family name. Now the old man should be happy, his uncompetitive son will not look for trouble again. But you ask him to ask himself, who is sorry for whom! ”

After saying this, Hermorin angrily shook the door and left without looking back. He Mobin looked at the back of the fourth brother, and felt confused in his heart, it seems that he really won't forgive his father, and he may never come back this time. Is it right or wrong to give him the money just now and warn him like that? Thinking of the harmony of his brothers as a child, he actually had a feeling of being separated from the world. The eldest brother died in a different place, the third brother struggled on the sickbed, and the fourth brother also resolutely left the family, and now only he is left to hold on. My father is already old, and after a hundred years, the He family may really disappear without a trace.
