Chapter 21 Showing Love in Depth of Responsibility
The blue world is clear, and the boss has a mansion. The shadows of the sun poured down, and the atrium was silent. Occasionally, people moved, but they were all light and did not dare to make loud noises.
This kind of deep house compound has its own simple and deep, and the people in it imperceptibly and unconsciously abide by the rules, as if they are afraid of the quiet and good time when the eaves fall and the flowers fall on the female wall.
Although there is a gold plaque on the main entrance of the Gao family, the scale has exceeded that of any mansion in the capital. It's like a village.
Because the Gao family has not been separated for three hundred years, the house occupies an entire alley of Xiaoxiang Lane on Luming Street.
It is also thanks to the humble and low-key generations of the Gao family, not only appreciated by the emperor, but also respected by the people by his colleagues.
In the courtyard of the long house, the eldest lord Gao Mingchen put the ring ruler on the table, and this sound made Ji Xing, who was kneeling on the ground, inevitably tremble. Secretly looked outside the door, there was no figure, and said that I was afraid that I would not be able to escape the beating today.
"What are the two thieves looking at with their eyes?!" The tall old man broke off in a deep voice: "Let me tell you, the old lady went to the palace today." The wives all go to the temple to make incense, and no one can save you. ”
Ji Xingxin said: What's the point? My father was sent to the ancestral hall by you, and my sister-in-law was not out of confinement yet, and even my scholar was driven to clean the study. I now call heaven and earth not to be spiritual, and I have become a cricket in a jar, waiting to be beaten.
Seeing that he lowered his head and was silent, the tall man thought that he was really afraid, and his tone couldn't help but soften: "I asked you to read last time, and if you don't understand, you can ask." Uncles and brothers in the house, no matter who you are, can be your teacher. But what about you, you don't want to pay attention at all, it's really rotten wood that can't be carved! Look at your older brothers, who were already in school at your age. ”
It's no wonder that Master Gao said so, the Gao family has always been famous for teaching their children, and their children are pure filial piety and erudition, even if they can't all become the pillars of the country, they can keep self-denial and have no loss of virtue.
Who would have thought that there was such a guy as Jixing in the younger generation, who didn't like to read and didn't follow the rules, but the old lady loved him very much, and everyone protected him, which really gave the old man a headache.
The eldest lord Gao Mingchen is now an official and the patriarch of the Gao family, so it stands to reason that he can't manage such a thing as educating his children, but he can't let go of Ji Xing.
Just because he and Jixing are uncles and nephews on the surface, but they are actually father and son.
Ji Xing is the youngest son of Gao Mingchen and his wife Hu Shi, because the third master Gao Chengchen has no children, so Ji Xing was passed on to him.
The third master is casual and kind, not as strict as the eldest master, and he is not strict with Jixing on weekdays, but he is afraid that he will be tired.
The tall old man hates iron and does not become steel, and he has to teach Jixing a lesson every three or five times.
Ji Xing is most afraid of him, every time he is reprimanded, he doesn't dare to refute, Rao is like this, and in the end, he will inevitably take a few commandments.
"Why don't you say anything? The cat took your tongue out?! The tall man's beard trembled three times with anger, and his voice unconsciously raised again.
"Nephew is incompetent...... Ji Xing snorted half a sentence and came out, his ass was crooked uneasily, and he wanted to fight quickly, and he slipped out to play after the fight.
"Humph! Except for the good looks, it's nothing good! The tall old man said hatefully: "Why did you give birth to such an embroidered pillow!" ”
If it weren't for Ji Xing's birth too well, everyone might not have spoiled him so much, and now that he is spoiled, the tall old man wants to turn the horse's head by himself, and he can't help but feel tired.
"Master, the old lady is back!" The servant announced outside the door: "I have arrived at the second gate." ”
Gao Mingchen hurriedly got up and went out after hearing this, and did not forget to scold Ji Xing: "Kneel honestly!" ”
Ji Xing pursed his lips tightly and didn't laugh, and his grandfather came back, which meant that the fight had passed.
The old lady of the Gao family has a single name, and the prime minister is a minister, although he no longer asks about the government, he is still highly respected.
Today, the Holy One has been on the throne for five years, and he is only seventeen years old, which is too young to be experienced. Therefore, the government of the Great Xia Kingdom is now mainly handled by the regent King Yongwang, who is the emperor's own uncle and the younger brother of the first emperor.
The little emperor often invited Mrs. Gao into the palace to give him lectures, and Mrs. Gao was also awarded the position of Taifu, but the name was greater than the truth, after all, the old lady was old and tired.
"Why is it so quiet in the house today? Where are the children? Old lady Gao asked with a smile, he was born to be a very kind person, and he was also called "Gao Buddha" in the officialdom.
"It's time to go to the backyard and climb trees to pick fruit." Gao Mingchen said with a smile.
"When I entered the palace today, the emperor gave me three fruits," said the old lady Gao, and took out three yellow and purple fruits from her sleeve: "It is said that it is a tribute from Nanyue, and there is a name of the elder." Tell someone to call the children and share them with food. There is one left for Ji Xing. ”
"Father is too partial to Ji Xing," Gao Mingchen said, "This child has been spoiled. ”
"I don't favor him any more, is it better to be restrained by you?!" Old lady Gao snorted coldly: "Could it be that I controlled you like this back then?" ”
Gao Mingchen was so choked that he didn't dare to argue a word, and followed behind his father with his hands down.
After sending Mrs. Gao back to the courtyard, Gao Mingchen came back and saw that Jixing was still kneeling there. From the side and back, you can only see his round little face and the tip of Qiong Yao's nose, after all, he is still a milky hairy child.
At this time, another subordinate came to report: "The eldest master, the eldest young master and the seventh son of the Sima family have entered the mansion." ”
The eldest young master is Gao Zhao's brother Gao Xi, and Sima Lantai's cousin-in-law. Gao Xi married his wife Sima Shi and gave birth to a daughter last month, named Mei'er, who has not yet been full moon.
"Lantai must have come to Mei'er to see her sick," Gao Mingchen said, "Hurry up and wait for your life." ”
As soon as he lowered his head to see Jixing, he spoke: "Don't kneel here and pretend, go ahead to meet the guests." Look at how talented people are in Lantai, you can also learn a little! ”
Ji Xing didn't dare to disobey, got up and went forward.
Gao Xi's daughter has been crying at night lately, and I don't know where she is uncomfortable, it just so happened that he went to her father-in-law's house today, and when she met Sima Lantai, she invited him to come over and take a look.
Gao Xi was talking to Sima Lantai and walked in, and when he saw Ji Xing at a glance, he couldn't help but smile and ask, "Why didn't the monkey jump today?" Dare to love the Buddha at home today! Your sister-in-law left you something delicious in the kitchen, remember to ask the maid to bring it to you. ”
Ji Xing greeted Sima Lantai with some embarrassment, and called Seventh Brother vaguely.
Sima Lantai nodded and replied, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I have time to go to my medical hall to play." ”
Sima Lantai's medical clinic opened in a very low-key manner, without notifying any relatives of his death.
