Chapter 141: Ancestral Shade
As a descendant of a down-and-out family, I'm afraid that I won't have a good impression of the ancestors of the loser.
But there are no absolutes.
Sometimes for one's own family, the act of being an extreme loser is a great kindness to others.
“…… When I was expelled from the capital, I chose it late at night for fear that people would find out. Not to mention that he didn't give me a penny, even the clothes were kindly taken off by the jailer who temporarily took them off his body. When you were escorted to the city gate, you happened to meet your grandfather. He was a petty official in charge of the city gate at the time, and when he was released, he stuffed an ancient book of the former dynasty in my arms. After I was driven out of the capital, I relied on copying all the way to earn a bite to eat and got mixed up in Dingzhou. By the way, is your grandfather still there? I still have to pay back your book. ”
Xue Shen was very indescribable.
He originally thought that he relied on his ancestors to marry the Shangguan family to win the favor of Shangguan Ling. Unexpectedly, it was his unreliable grandfather, who left behind the grace?
Think about it before my grandfather died, my grandmother was still scolding, because my grandfather said that he had exchanged the ancient book for food and wine.
My father and mother often said that if the book was still there, it would be worth at least a few hundred taels of silver. It was enough for him to study, and his sister didn't have to marry into Ning Wangfu, so she died early.
To say that Xue Shen has no grievances in his heart is a lie. But who would have thought that my grandfather would be ambushed here?
"My ancestor passed away more than ten years ago, and I never mentioned it to my family before I died......
Shangguan Ling sighed, "In the end, it is the descendant of the Xue family, your grandfather, he is still a chivalrous general." ”
Yes, when I am righteous to outsiders, I don't know how many favors I have given behind my back, but I have suffered my family.
That book, since my grandfather carried it in his arms, must have wanted to use it a long time ago. It's a good thing that it can be used on Shangguan Ling.
Xue Shen suddenly remembered another incident, "When I was a child, there were several books of Analects full of annotations at home. It was Grandpa Jin, who brought it from the jailer, saying that he picked it up in prison, so it should be Mr. Shangguan's, right? ”
"I was bored in prison, so I asked him to find me a few books to pass the time. I gave him the book when I left, but I didn't expect it to fall into your hands, which can be regarded as a good fate for him. ”
Xue Shen was silent.
Mr. Jin originally had no children and no daughters, and he was classified by his family as his grandfather's "Fox Friends and Dog Party", which was very unwelcome.
But because he gave Xue Shen these books, it really laid a good foundation for his enlightenment. Later, Xue Shen has always taken care of him, and his illness and posthumous affairs in his later years were all handled by him.
It is said that it is a good fate, which is really good.
Meiniang asked very playfully, "Then Lord Xue, can't you also be regarded as a disciple of Mr. Shangguan?" ”
Xue Shen was stunned for a moment, and then his heart beat wildly, but he forced himself to hold it, not daring to be too happy.
Mr. Shangguan looked at the beautiful girl with a strange expression, "Do you really plan to let me take him as an apprentice?" ”
Mei Niang was slightly stunned, "Hasn't Mr. always liked to teach and educate people?" Lord Xue, no, it's not appropriate? ”
Or do you see that he doesn't have a good face and is not worth teaching?
Although this Xue Dacai robbed her, he really helped her.
For the sake of his robbery and success, but for the sake of helping, the beautiful girl villain doesn't care about adults, well, the point is to look at his face, just help him.
Mr. Shangguan shook his head, with a bit of banter in his eyes, and he was not right at anyone.
"Have you ever thanked your junior sister?"
Xue Shen was ecstatic.
Regardless of whether the floor of the restaurant was clean or not, he immediately knelt down and saluted.
Shangguan Ling waved his hand indifferently.
The old man has collected too many apprentices in his life, and he has long been used to it. I didn't allow him to enter the room, so let's watch.
Aunt Qiu looked at it and educated the beautiful girl, "Look at how filial your apprentices are, you didn't kowtow to me." ”
Mei Niang said, "I'm different, I'm going to support you for the rest of your life." How many heads are missing? ”
The little girl is not grateful, in order to save her, Aunt Qiu revealed her identity, but she is afraid that she will not be comfortable in the future.
So the little girl is planning to take Aunt Qiu as her mother, no, she is closer than her mother, and she is filial to her grandmother. It is good that these things are understood in each other's hearts.
Besides, Aunt Qiu really wants her to kneel, she is just greedy, and she has nothing to do.
The new senior brother didn't understand the inside story, so he helped to speak, "Senior sister is young and ignorant, if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive me." ”
He took a full glass of wine and saluted Aunt Qiu again.
"When the kid was a child, he was fortunate enough to see half of the Yun family. Probably before you left Beijing, I listened to half of your song outside Meilin on the outskirts of Beijing. The aftermath is unforgettable. ”
So when he painted the dragon girl statue in the restaurant last time, he glanced at Aunt Yun upstairs and felt that this old woman had an impression.
It's just that I'm too young to remember.
But I didn't know how to let a big fish slip away from my side, but fortunately I came back again.
Aunt Qiu stared at him, "Boy, don't play tricks on me, do you want to worship me as a teacher?" Okay, listen, what kind of sound is this, if you can knock it out, I'll take you. ”
She took a casual sip of wine, knocked a sound with her chopsticks, and motioned for him to come too.
Although Xue Shen has a thief's heart, he has no thief's power.
It was obviously the same wine glass, but he tried for a long time, but he couldn't knock it out. I had to smile bitterly, but I was curious, "Senior sister can do it?" ”
Yes.
The beautiful girl quickly knocked it out, still very puzzled, "Is this difficult?" ”
Xue Shen was very hurt.
In this way, among thousands of people, there may not be one person who can do something, which is called genius.
Once upon a time, it was always him who played this role. Now that he has become a passerby, he knows how hateful he was in the past. But what's even more hateful is that it has to be made worse.
Mr. Shangguan pointed at Lin Junwu, "You've never learned music and rhythm, have you?" ”
Lin Junwu grinned, "Dao Chief, no, Mr. said he was joking." I don't know a few big characters, and I still know the rhythm. ”
All right.
Mr. Shangguan instructed him, poured a glass of wine, adjusted it a few times, and knocked out exactly the same thing.
Xue Shen was shocked.
"This ...... It's ......"
"I'm just stealing a trick and taking note of where the wine is in their glasses. When they auditioned, they observed the expressions of the two of them, and only when they hit the right one did they stretch their brows and bow slightly. So the geniuses are still them, do you understand this science? ”
Xue Shen stopped talking.
The whole person was stunned, like a monk in meditation, and fell into deep thought.
So much better.
Just when the meal came up, Shangguan Ling was not polite, beckoning everyone to eat and drink.
As for the apprentice, don't pay attention to him. One less strong man, they can eat more good things!
So, when Xue Shen finally figured it out and came to his senses with a smile on his face, he saw that everyone had run away. The table was full of leftovers, and the little servant Xue Liang was about to fall asleep.
It was dark outside, and the restaurant had long since closed. He was left with nothing but a candle and a bill.
"What? ate three hundred taels of silver for one meal, and they also packed snacks for supper? ”
Xue Liang was weak, "This is because people heard that Mr. Shangguan and everyone Yun were here, so they specially discounted it." Young master, you are invited back, and the year's worth is gone. Next, why don't I go and be a good little brother, otherwise we will have to drink the northwest wind! ”
This, you have to find your sister for this matter, and you must find her to be responsible!
But before it was Xue Shen's turn to find someone, someone found him first.
Xu Yun sent someone to call him, just a word.
"I want to worship Mr. Shangguan as a teacher! You have to figure it out! ”
