Chapter 116: Study Confinement

Yu Ren laughed, "Don't worry! What to say and what not to say. I still know. It's just that I haven't recovered since the last time I lost my memory, and there are some things that you have to leave me a lot of reminders. ”

Although along the way, Cao An had already told Yu Ren about the situation at home many times, and also told him many details. But Yu Ren is still not very confident. After all, what you hear and what you see are two different things.

According to Cao An's introduction, there are five people in their family, in addition to the two of them, there is also a Song Huozi who is responsible for guarding the door and running away, and an Aunt Ma who is responsible for laundry and cooking. These two people are both long-term workers hired by the master outside, and he is the only one who has followed the Yu family since he was a child.

When he came to the door, he saw that the door was closed, and Cao An was about to knock on the door. Yu Ren suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped him.

"Cao An, how much silver do we have left?"

Cao An saw the door of the house, but the young master was not in a hurry to enter the door, but asked about the silver, and was very puzzled. "There are more than eighty-three taels."

"Well, then, when you go back, you put the whole silver of seventy taels in your room and hide it so that no one knows. Just bring a dozen taels of broken silver with you. Remember, don't talk about giving money to my father. My father asked us how much we had left for the trip, and you said that there were only thirteen taels left. Remember! Yu Ren leaned over Cao An's ear and said.

Cao An nodded again and again, and finally understood the young master's intentions.

Yu Ren adjusted his clothes with confidence, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door soon opened. The door was opened by a middle-aged man with a slightly hunched back. This man is about thirty-five or sixteen, and he looks a little Sven, not like a subordinate. Yu Ren knew that this person was the Song camel that Cao An said. Of course, he wouldn't call him that.

"Uncle Song, I'm back."

When Uncle Song saw Yu Ren coming back, his face showed joy, and he hurriedly turned around and shouted to the courtyard, "Master, the young master is back." ”

A rather majestic male voice came from the courtyard, "Let him wait for me in the study." ”

When Yu Ren heard this voice, his heart skipped a beat. Although emotionally, he does not quite approve of this father. But the facts could not be changed, and he could not help but accept this reality. Therefore, hearing this, Yu Ren's heart jumped. As a child who has not been very obedient since he was a child, Yu Ren judged from his father's voice that he would definitely be disciplined for a while.

Under Cao An's guidance, Yu Ren came to his father's study. Cao An stood outside the door and waited.

When Yu Ren entered the house, his father Yu Yuanqian had not yet come. Yu Ren sat down on a wooden chair in front of the desk, and then looked around at the study. It was a very ordinary study, very poorly decorated, except for the books in the two large bookcases, there were only two paintings and one character hanging on the wall. Among them, the word is a horizontal bar, and four big characters are written on it: Loyal to the country.

The font is sophisticated and vigorous, quite the style of Huang Tingjian of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The two paintings on one side, one is a picture of a mother-in-law's tattoo, and the other is a landscape picture. Both pictures are signed by Yu Xingjian of Quanzhou.

Yu Ren knew that his father's name was Xingjian. In other words, both of these pictures were drawn by his father himself. Yu Ren has never known anything about calligraphy and painting, and he doesn't know how it works. It's just that I feel that his dad can draw such a complex picture, and the level should not be low.

Yu Ren was wondering what kind of person his father should be, and his father came in.

Yu Ren heard the footsteps, quickly stood up, and saw a middle-aged man of forty-three or four walking in with a cold face. Yu Ren only glanced at him, and knew that he was the father of his legend. Because this person's appearance is so similar to himself, if it weren't for the age gap, others would definitely think they were twins.

"You still know it's back! I'm still having fun with you! Yu Yuanqian's voice was majestic with a hint of joy, obviously because he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart when he saw his son who had been separated for more than half a year. It's just to maintain his majesty in front of his son, so he deliberately lowered his face.

Yu Ren heard from this sentence that his father was not really angry, and his heart was completely relaxed. "Dad, aren't you sick? Why don't you lie in bed and have a good rest! Yu Ren wanted to divert the topic.

"I didn't say sick, will you come back?" As he spoke, he pulled out his chair and sat down at his desk.

Yu Ren whispered, "I just met a few friends in Hangzhou, so I delayed." I had planned to come back a long time ago. ”

As soon as Yu Yuanqian heard this, his originally relaxed face sank again. "I'm not angry if I don't say that. I ask you what I told you before I went out. You've forgotten it, have you? I told you not to make friends, especially those who couldn't make friends with the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party. You're good enough to take my words on deaf ears.

not only made friends with Donglin's children, but also gave them a lead. You think you're majestic, and others look up to you! In fact, behind the scenes, everyone laughs at you for being stupid! ”

When Yu Yuanqian said this, he got up from his chair angrily.

"Who are the Donglin Party? They claim that they take the world as their own responsibility, and in the final analysis, they are trying to seek power for themselves! Why has our Ming court been so chaotic all these years? In the final analysis, the most culprit is their Donglin Party members.

If it weren't for the fact that the Donglin Party formed a party for personal gain, how could there be a large and small party behind the Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party, and the Chu Party. In order to compete for their own power, these people used the guise of serving the public to make the court restless, and even the emperor and the prince were brought in by them. Politics was abolished because of this. At present, officials in the DPRK and China, no matter how big or small, only think about how to bring down their opponents all day long, but they have put aside state affairs. This will send a waste talent like Yang Hao to conquer the Jurchens, so that the entire army will be destroyed.

What will happen to you in the future if you mix with such a group of people? If you don't know, it's possible that our Yu family will be wiped out in your hands.

So, I now formally admonish you. From now on, you are not allowed to associate with these people, otherwise, I will drive you out of the Yu family and never recognize you as a son!" ”

After Yu Yuanqian said these words, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Then Yu Ren heard his father in the courtyard shouting to Song Huozi, "Little Song, from today onwards, you show me the gate." Without my order, the young master will never be allowed to leave this gate! ”

Yu Ren's face showed impatience and confusion.

Impatient because he knows that from now on, he will be under house arrest by his father. The confusion is because he can't understand why Yuan Chonghuan admires the Donglin Party so much, while his father is so dissatisfied with the Donglin Party.

In this way, Yu Ren was imprisoned in his own study. Yu Yuanqian only left one sentence: "Concentrate on preparing for the autumn boudoir." ”

Yu Ren looked at the books in the room and couldn't help but smile wryly. He knows his own strength too well. With his current ancient literary skills, not to mention the examiner, even if he is a Xiucai, he has no possibility. But he couldn't say it to his father. Because his father wouldn't believe him.

Facing the Four Books and Five Classics on the table, Yu Ren forced himself to turn a few pages, and he really couldn't stand it. flipped through the bookshelf, and actually turned out a copy of "The General Essentials of the Continuation of the Martial Arts" from a corner. Turning the first page, Yu Ren became interested.

Because this book was actually written by his world-famous grandfather Yu Dayou and his teacher. The first seven volumes of this book were compiled by Yu Dayou's teacher Zhao Benxue, and the latter volume was compiled by Yu Dayou himself.

Yu Ren took a closer look, and all of the above talked about various formations from ancient times to the present, including the advantages and disadvantages of this formation and its application. Yu Ren looked at it for a while, feeling not very interested. Because he doesn't understand the formation at all. So I went to the bookcase again.

Only then did he find out that one corner of his bookcase was full of all kinds of military books. It's just that the front is blocked by a large number of Confucian classics. Yu Ren finally understood. In fact, his predecessor was simply a person who valued martial arts and neglected literature. It's just because his father doesn't let him practice martial arts, so he hides these military books in the bookcase.

Yu Ren dug into the bookcase and took out a total of more than thirty military books. Including "The Art of War", "Thirty-six Strategies", "Wei Xuanzi", "Wu Zi", "Wujing General Essentials" and so on. In addition, there is an atlas. It reads: "Map of the Fifteen Provinces of the Ming Dynasty".

Among them, there is also a small cloth bag with several books wrapped separately.
