Ji Mo followed his father into the study.

Ji Wei closed the door of the study and took Ji Mo down to the secret room.

Ji Mo's heart was full of surprise, but he didn't ask more.

Chamber. Where Ji Mo Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er usually go to class.

However, Ji Shu did not stop. He knocked four times on the wall at the end of the secret room, and the wall that had been tightly closed opened in response, and soon a gap appeared in front of him for one person.

Father and son walked in.

It turned out to be another secret room that wasn't too big.

The two egg-sized beads embedded in the wall of the chamber were glowing with a milky white glow. There are all tables and chairs inside. On the side of the wall stood two rows of six-story lattice shelves, and in the squares of the shelves were beautiful boxes and other items that Ji Mo could not name.

Ji Wei sat on the carved nanmu chair at the top and motioned for Ji Mo to sit too.

Ji Mo sat down on the right side facing his father, only quietly watching his father and waiting for him to speak. Ji Wei knew his son's temperament, and said without waiting for him to ask: "Mo'er, can you guess General Ye's intention?" ”

Ji Mo didn't expect that the first thing his father said was this question, he pondered for a while, and replied thoughtfully: "It seems that there must be something extraordinary in Yimer'er, you call the other party a general, do you think he is a representative-king?" ”

Ji Wei nodded: "Yes, no, almost." General Ye's name is Ye Xiao, and he is a general under the command of the three princes of the dynasty, and he came here to do something for his father. ”

When Ji Mo heard this, he couldn't help but sit up and listen to the following.

Seeing his son's actions, Ji Wei smiled helplessly: "Mo'er, don't be nervous." ”

Then he said, "Do you know why your grandfather died?" ”

Ji Mo relaxed his expression, looked at Ji Yan's eyes, and shook his head: "I don't know." ”

I often guess in my heart, but I don't dare to ask.

The death of my grandfather hit my father too hard. It's almost a no-go area for father-son conversations. If his father didn't mention it, how could he reveal his scars?

"It has something to do with today's king." Ji Wei looked straight ahead, as if looking back at the past, sighed, and suddenly said, "Just tell you, you have grown up after so many years." ”

"Ten years ago, your grandfather returned to Jijiabao from other places after running errands, and on the way back, he was ambushed and attacked by dozens of people in white on the way back to Qingzhupo. At that time, the situation was critical, your uncle Jinchi and the rest of the Ji family tried their best to resist but with little success, and in desperation, your grandfather asked the man in white a question......

Ji Mo said: "What are you asking?" ”

"'That's what Senior Brother wants?' Ji Wei said, "Your grandfather took out a book and a beautiful mask from his bosom and asked the man in black, 'What does Senior Brother want?' ’”

Jimo: "What kind of book is that?" Presumably, that one is also rare in the world. ”

"That's right. But the book and mask were ruined, and your grandfather slapped him and turned into powder in front of the man in black. Ji Wei laughed twice, with an "understandable" sense of humor, "According to your grandfather, he did do this." ”

"I was young." Ji Mo's words were not without regret, "What kind of person is grandfather?" ”

Ji Wei was silent for a while: "He...... He is a good father. Sometimes people make mistakes, and sometimes the boundaries between right and wrong are hard to distinguish. And the 'choice' is a painful thing. ”

His answer was vague, Ji Mo didn't seem to understand, and he didn't ask again.

"What about the man in white?"

"The man in white saw him destroy the book and the mask, and he was angry, but he had no choice but to leave."

Ji Mo was thoughtful, paused for a while, and he asked, "Who is my grandfather's senior brother?" He sent the man in black to rob the road, and his grandfather easily saw through it, and he looked a little eager to cover it up. ”

After hearing this, Ji Yan's eyes revealed a kind of approval: "My uncle," he thought about the wording, wanting to express it more appropriately, "Jiang Bantu, he is a kind person. ”

Ji Wei seemed to fall into a memory, and said slowly: "When I remember, Uncle Jiang had not yet left the school, and he was still in Jijiabao at that time, and he had not yet married a wife. When I was a child, I was mischievous and liked to play with him, so he took advantage of the rest time to weave all kinds of bird cages for me, and I kept several kinds of birds caught from Yulan Mountain in cages and listened to their chirps. Uncle Shi likes to be a carpenter in his spare time, and I almost thought that he would be a good carpenter rather than a great disguiser. ”

Ji Wei chuckled lightly, and continued: "What impressed me the most was that Master Jiang's eyes were not big, but he smiled gently, until later, he met my cousin in Jijiabao, my mother's aunt's daughter, Qiong Zhi. That year, my cousin and my aunt passed by Jijiabao with the elders of the family to visit my mother, Aunt Qiongzhi had spent a lot of time in my maternal grandfather's house since she was a child, and although she was ten years younger than my mother, she and my mother have always had a close relationship. As soon as Qiongzhi came, my mother was very happy, and I was also excited out of the child's curiosity and joy, and I wanted to show off to someone as soon as I was excited, so I thought of my uncle. That day, I excitedly ran to my uncle's house and told him that my cousin was coming. I told him that my cousin was so beautiful that she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and that she was very kind to me and had a good smile! ”

Ji Wei smiled bitterly as he spoke, wanting to stand up and pour a cup of tea from the teapot.

Seeing his father's actions, Ji Mo stood up first, picked up the teapot and poured a cup for his father.

Ji Wei glanced at him, nodded, took a sip of hot tea, and continued: "Uncle Shi didn't think much of it after listening to my words, and laughed at me and said that children know what beauty and ugliness are? When I heard him say this, I was anxious and desperate to prove to him that I had a vision. - If I had known that things would have turned out like that, I would never have rushed to prove anything. ”

"Aunt Qiongzhi is not only beautiful and dignified, but also has a good personality, empathetic, cheerful and lively. At that time, I was anxious to let my uncle meet my aunt, so that he would know that what I said was true. ”

Ji Wei laughed self-deprecatingly when he said this: "Mo'er, do you believe in fate? Oh, that's it, how do you know what life is? Later, Uncle Shi finally met Aunt Qiongzhi and was attracted to her, and then Uncle Shi left Jijiabao and heard that he married his aunt, and then he heard that his aunt died in childbirth and the child was gone. Since then, the teacher's temperament has changed drastically, and he is violent and perverse. ”

His eyes darkened for a moment, and he muttered, "Who would have expected many incidents." ”

Ji Mo listened carefully, and he couldn't help asking, "That, is your Aunt Qiongzhi really dead?" ”

Ji Wei: "The dead are the greatest, who is joking with the dead?" ”

"Later, your uncle, have you ever seen him again?"

"Uncle Shi no longer sees people easily, naturally no."

"But why did he need his grandfather's book and mask?" Ji Mo was puzzled, "What does all this have to do with today's monarch?" ”
