Chapter 5 Weiyang
"Dad, you're looking for me." Xu Changting pushed the door in, and when he saw that Liang Bo was also there, he politely called him: Liang Bo.
Xu Zhongli sat behind the desk, and when he saw Xu Changting walk in, a loving smile appeared on his rare majestic face.
Whether it is Xu Zhongli, the father, or Liang Bo, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion, they are very satisfied with the politeness of Xu Changting in front of him.
never bullied or treated subordinates lightly, and this almost affected one of the important reasons why three of the four members of Liang Bo's family were willing to work in the Xu Mansion with all their hearts and minds.
Xu Zhongli's eyes were always on his son, and when he saw Xu Changting first pointing to a chair and signaling to Liang Bo, and after Liang Bo smiled and shook his head, Xu Changting sat down.
He was very satisfied with his son's politeness to Uncle Liang, so he asked with a smile: "Are you happy to go to Banlong Village to walk a horse today?" ”
"It's good, Jiujin is very obedient and smart, even the one called the mallet knows Jiujin and charcoal, and says that they are the best Hequ horses." Xu Changting didn't plan to tell his father about today's "righteous and courageous" incident.
Just like every teenager who has reached this age, his performance at home is often the same as his performance outside.
What's more, at this age when the rebellious period begins to grow, most people will psychologically feel that they have grown up completely and do not need their parents to discipline him anymore.
And although Xu Changting has been a human being for two lives, the reason why he did this is not because he doesn't need the care of his parents, but because today's incident is somewhat strange, and he doesn't want his parents to worry about him.
But he obviously didn't expect that his "righteous and courageous deeds" today would still be a bit of a cheat in the end.
"I asked Aunt Liang to call you over because I wanted to discuss something with you." Xu Zhongli said to Xu Changting.
"Discuss with me?" Xu Changting was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at Steward Liang.
"That's right, one of the farmers in Banlong Village who helped us cultivate public land had a little problem at home, and their fields were taken to pay off their debts, and even sold their daughters in order to repay their debts. Although this matter has nothing to do with our family, but now these farmers are also dependent on our family to live, and this matter can be big or ......small. Xu Zhongli explained to Xu Changting unhurriedly.
And when Xu Changting heard half of it, he subconsciously exclaimed: It can't be so coincidental, right? I won't meet it today...... It's the farmer of his own farm, right?
“…… And dad means, I want to ask you, do you have any thoughts on this matter? When Xu Changting came back to his senses, Xu Zhongli was looking at him with a smile on his face.
"If you don't care...... For my father, your reputation among the court officials and those people will be somewhat damaged. But if you do...... This matter doesn't look like a thing that can be easily pulled clearly, and it is natural to repay the debt, not to mention that there is an IOU in black and white, isn't it? Xu Changting pretended to think for a while and said.
Xu Zhongli was very satisfied with his calm performance at such an age.
At the very least, Xu Changting's reaction was not like some of his colleagues' children, relying on his father's rights in the court, thinking that he was omnipotent, the sky was high and the sea was wide for him to fly, and he would immediately bluff and pat his chest and promise that he would definitely solve this matter, and his father would put one hundred and twenty hearts.
Steward Liang on the side, after hearing Xu Changting's words, couldn't help but nod his head secretly, and even felt a little sorry for his son who was a city in Danfeng City.
He has always believed that after Xu Changting returns to his senses as a normal person, relying on his father's protection, he will definitely be a person who will make great achievements in the future.
But his son was unwilling to follow Xu Changting no matter what, and would rather let Xu Zhongli find him a city official through his connections than go to Xining Prefecture with their family.
Xu Zhongli glanced sideways at Steward Liang, and Steward Liang immediately understood, smiled with a kind smile, and left the study under the pretext.
Only the father and son were left in the study, and although Xu Zhongli's face was still a kind smile, there seemed to be some secret hidden in those deep eyes.
"Weiyang, do you know why before you reached the crown, my father took the word for you?" Xu Zhongli asked calmly, then got up and walked to the chair next to Xu Changting and sat down.
"Of course I know, my mother mentions it in my ear almost every day, and my eldest sister also mentions it from time to time, saying that soon after I was born, my father gave me the word ......." Xu Changting said seriously.
Xu Zhongli looked at Xu Changting and smiled dotingly, and said, "It's not because you make your mother and your eldest sister and second sister worry all day long, so you will be reminded from time to time." Then Xu Zhongli sighed with a slight smile, recalling the scene of the year: "Back then, my father took the word Weiyang for you, which was taken from the "Hanshu Lile Zhi": Lingyin, bright sunshine, prolonging life, and never being young. Sauvignon Blanc, don't forget, Chang Guifu, Le Weiyang's words.
The expectation of your father and your mother, as well as your eldest sister and second sister, is that you can grow up healthy and happy like ordinary people. Since you were born, you have been weak and sickly, and when you are older, you are muddy, so your mother has cried dry tears, and your eldest sister and second sister have helped your mother take care of you when you were a child, and when you were bullied, it was also your eldest sister and second sister who stepped forward ....... ”
"Dad, what the hell are you trying to say?" In the past, Xu Zhongli would also nagged these old things in Xu Changting's ear, but as Xu Changting's sanity gradually returned to normal, the family rarely mentioned Xu Changting's muddy and stupid past.
Today, Xu Zhongli suddenly mentioned it again, and Xu Changting also felt a little strange and inexplicable for a while.
"Day after day, year after year, you have grown up, and your father and your mother have grown old. Your eldest sister and second sister used to say that they were willing not to marry for life because they wanted to take care of you...... But now, Dad thinks that Weiyang has been able to take care of himself independently....... Xu Zhongli looked at Xu Changting and said kindly.
Xu Changting moved his lips and said with a suspicious expression: "Dad, you won't expel me from the house, will you?" ”
Xu Zhongli was stunned by Xu Changting's brain circuit, shook his head and smiled, touched the top of Xu Changting's head, and said, "Even if your father is ruthless, will your mother be willing?" Your eldest sister and your second sister still have to work hard with their father? ”
Immediately, Xu Zhongli's face became a little serious and serious, looked at Xu Changting and said solemnly: "That's the case, Dad plans to let you deal with the affairs of the farmer in Banlong Village, are you willing?" ”
Xu Changting looked at Xu Zhongli blankly, Xu Zhongli also stared at Xu Changting, the father and son looked at each other for a long time before Xu Changting nodded silently in agreement.
At the same time, he also understood his father's intention to do this, obviously hoping to exercise his ability to survive independently through this incident.
Day after day, year after year, he gradually grows up, which means that his father and mother are aging day by day, and one day they will leave him.
Even if he has the care of his eldest sister and second sister, he always has the ability to face life independently, so that they can rest assured, and even feel satisfied and proud.
"Dad, I agree." Xu Changting also said seriously.
Xu Zhongli's face showed a smile of relief: "I know that my son will not retreat, and he will become a great weapon in the future!" ”
After Xu Changting agreed, Xu Zhongli's whole person instantly became a lot more relaxed, and even a little excited, looking at Xu Changting and continuing: "You just let go of this matter, if something happens, your father will help you solve it." Of course, we must remember that we must not do anything that violates the laws of our Great Wei and oppresses the good. ”
Xu Changting also showed a smile on his face, looking at Xu Zhongli, who was much more relaxed, and suddenly felt that the sense of family happiness in his heart seemed to be a lot more fulfilling.
"Don't worry, Dad, the child won't cause you trouble." In the past seventeen years, Xu Changting has long been accustomed to his identity. What's more, what he faced at home was his biological parents and his two sisters whose blood was thicker than water.
Xu's Mansion is a mansion with three courtyards, and with the scale of the east and west courtyards and the back garden, the east and west courtyards were left to the maids in the house, and the atrium was inhabited by Xu Zhongli and his wife, and the two daughters and one son of the Xu family lived in the backyard.
Not long after returning to Danfeng City from Xining Prefecture, the entire mansion of Nuoda still seems a little empty, although some furniture and furnishings will be moved in one after another in the past few days, but because of Xu Zhongli's shyness in his pocket, many things have not been able to move in to enrich and decorate the entire mansion.
The next morning, Xu Changting, who had not woken up from his dream, felt a heavy body, as if a thick quilt was pressing on him.
The head involuntarily shrank into the bed, but the ears were grabbed by a warm little hand.
"Second sister, can you let me sleep for a while?" Without opening his eyes, Xu Changting knew that it must have been Xu Wenrou who ran into his room again.
"Hurry up, didn't you promise to go shopping with me and my eldest sister today?" Xu Wenrou's whole person was almost lying on Xu Changting's body through the quilt, and the hand holding the ear kept gently pulling left and right.
"I didn't say yes. You go with your eldest sister by yourself, and I still have to sleep. Xu Changting said angrily.
"Little conscienceless, in vain I love you so much with Xu Changhong on weekdays, and now you are asked to do such a little thing, you don't want to?" Xu Wenrou began to put her hand into Xu Changting's hair, gently tugging at her hair and shaking her head.
After talking to his father in the study last night, Xu Changting first came to his mother's room, and after saying a few words to his mother, he returned to his room in the backyard.
Because of the incident in Banlong Village, and the possible consequences of this incident, including the danger it may bring to himself and the whole family, Xu Changting thought about it for a long time at night, as if it was not until the dark window began to gradually turn white, that he fell asleep in a daze.
Then early in the morning, he fell into Xu Wenrou's torture again.
The door opened again, and Xu Changhong also walked in, this time he didn't intend to free Xu Changting from Xu Wen's clutches, stood at the head of the bed and looked at the two sisters and brothers who were fighting, and said softly: "Weiyang, hurry up, go out with us today, the weather is getting warmer, it's time to buy some fabric and make you a few new clothes." ”
Xu Changting finally opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was Xu Wenrou's fair and beautiful face, and then after saying hello to the eldest sister standing next to the bed, Xu Changting looked up at the door vigorously, and complained helplessly: "Eldest sister, second sister, I suddenly found that the door of my room is a little redundant, I have grown up, don't you always come in without my consent like this, okay?" In case I ...... naked. ”
"When I was a child, I have been looked at by us many times, and now I know that I am shy? The second sister can still eat you! Xu Wenrou simply lay on Xu Changting's chest and tapped Xu Changting's forehead with his index finger.
However, in the end, he was pulled out by Xu Changhong, leaving Xu Changting alone to start dressing and getting up.
