Chapter 6: Lang Zhongling did housework, and the north wind came to the side garden without frost

Seeing this, He Miao was inconvenient to say anything, turned his head to look at He Jin, and he should be in charge.

He Jin saw that the two sons were lying on the ground, so he motioned for Qiao'er to come up and clean up the utensils scattered on the ground, and Xiaozhu also opened a cloth to wipe the water stains on the ground.

When all the objects and utensils on the table were all cleaned up, He Jin said: "If this is the case today, my father will also learn to be the lieutenant in the middle of Luoyang City, and he can open a hall and cut off these family affairs!"

To say that this lieutenant is the director of the public security bureau in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties, for a big city like Luoyang, there are four lieutenants, in charge of four districts. The lieutenant is not only responsible for security patrols, but also for hearing cases. Cao Cao served as the lieutenant of northern Luoyang.

He Jin was very satisfied with his performance.

When He Xian and He Hanwen heard this, they both called it "喏".

However, things don't seem to be going so smoothly – from Ho's point of view. I don't know who leaked the news, He Xian's biological mother Liu led He Miao's wife Zhao to walk slowly, followed by a group of hurried slaves and maids, it can be seen that this Mrs. He is far from being as dignified as she appears on the surface, but is faintly impatient.

couldn't wait for the little guy at the door to push the door, so Liu pushed the door open. When she saw her own son and her concubine son kneeling on the ground, she suddenly felt that her words and deeds seemed to be a little reckless. Especially when Liu saw He Miao also sitting on the seat, she and her husband looked at each other for a moment. In He Jin's slightly angry eyes, Liu led Zhao in, and then waved his hand to send a group of slaves and maids, and gently closed the door himself.

Zhao first saluted He and said, "Uncle."

"Ah, why is my brother-in-law here?" He Jin nodded in return, he asked Zhao, but his eyes were looking at his wife Liu.

Where did He Xian dare to raise his head at this moment, he only heard that his mother came with his uncle, and he must have heard about the study and came to plead, so his heart was also steady. And He Hanwen secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good - this Liu Shi is a calf protector, how can he let Liu make such a fuss, his father is soft-hearted, isn't it that he has done all these arrangements and calculations in vain now?

Therefore, He Hanwen couldn't hold back for a while, raised his head slightly, and just saw Liu Shi enter the house, He Jin glanced at her. He Hanwen saw that He Jin's eyes were not happy, and when he saw him staring at Liu and asking his uncle how he came, his heart was relieved, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Zhao replied: "My brother and sister-in-law heard that there was a mess here, and I couldn't rest assured, so I came to check it out to reassure people." Then he retreated behind He Miao.

Liu also stepped forward and stood beside He Jin, but did not speak.

He Jin didn't know what Liu's idea was, so he decided to ignore her, and today's lesson must be given to He Xian. Speaking of which, this also has part of his responsibility, the Liu family prefers to produce heirs, and He Jin has heard of it. This is nothing, and He Jin is also partial to He Xian.

However, preference is also divided into how to love: Liu's beloved son is really doting, although He Jin prefers it, he hopes that his son will achieve a career and carry forward the He family in Nanyang. He Jin's sister is already a nobleman, just waiting to give birth to a prince, and the addition of an official to the knighthood is just around the corner. At that time, there will be nephews in charge of the palace, supplemented by the cooperation of the ten permanent servants;

Therefore, if He Hanwen and He Xian can work together, compete with each other, and grow with each other, they will not succeed in the future, and they will not have no place to live. What's more, He Jinguan He Hanwen is also a thoughtful son, and he might as well use it to sharpen He Xian's arrogance. Those who achieve great things must be able to endure loneliness, and a flamboyant personality like He Xian will sooner or later bring hidden dangers to the family.

He Jin's mind has been decided, He Hanwen sees it in his eyes, how can Liu not know. As soon as she saw He Jin's attitude, she had a thousand words in her belly, and she couldn't say it at the moment, so she had to break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, hoping that her husband would not be too strict with He Xian, and it was best to save more face.

He Jin saw that the originally restless atmosphere in the study had calmed down, so he asked Xiaozhu and Qiao'er to put the new seats on the table, and Liu and Zhao sat separately. He Jin's left index finger on the desk was gently raised, and there was a rhythmic tapping sound, as if he was thinking, and it seemed to be pretending to be deep.

He Xian and He Hanwen felt a little abrasive at the moment, and both of them were a little apprehensive. With the dull sound of He Eat's index finger tapping on the desk, this rhythm was like a knife prepared with it, piercing the hearts of the two.

After a while, the percussion stopped.

"Uncle Ying, for the sake of my father, I ask you. Is there anything offensive to the dispute with the sigh?" He Jin didn't mention the previous matter, but suddenly asked about the matter.

When He Xian heard his father ask about this matter, his heart was relaxed at first, but he became nervous again. Although he was respectful on the surface, he never admired his father in his heart. He Xian has been studying since he was a child, and he prides himself on being a scholar, but he subconsciously looks down on his father who was born as a butcher.

"What can a sheep butcher understand? It's just that my aunt has entered the palace, and the so-called one person has attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven, and the left is just that. This is a true reflection of his heart. But today, He Xian faced up to his father's ability for the first time. Although He Jin has not read a book, his political wisdom and ability to lead troops are beyond doubt.

Just how to enter has never been in charge of the affairs of the family, and now that he is a slaughterer, he suddenly hits the crux of the problem: he knows that what He Hanwen said before is obviously saving face for He Xian, so he also saves part of He Xian's face, so he doesn't care about it anymore. Then the matter involves the origin of the issue, it is related to the glory of the family and the life of the son-in-law, it is not so important to have face or not, the important thing is justice, I hope to teach my son a lesson.

He Xian's heart was extremely uneasy at the moment, panicked, helpless, and his heart was beating a drum. It can be seen that he actually knows that what he is doing is probably not said like that, and He Jin's majesty as a father is still there. It's no wonder that He Hanwen thinks that He Xian is a complete straw bag, and if there is a mother, there must be a son! Both mother and son are typical representatives of being strong on the inside and strong on the outside.

He Xian thought about it, and secretly raised his head to see what his mother meant. It is said that knowing a son is better than a mother, and what virtues a son has, the mother knows best.

I saw He Xian's mother Liu sitting in the banquet, her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes fluttering, and she shook her head gently. He Xian understood what his mother meant: this was for him to pick up unimportant confessions, and if there were remarks involving his father, he would not be able to admit it.

"Father, son does have a dispute with sigh ... There are indeed indecent words, but it is really an unintentional mistake of the son. The son was young and impulsive, thinking that it was also for the good of his younger brother, and he didn't choose to say anything for a while, which hurt his younger brother's heart, it is really not the son to be the elder brother!" He Xian's beautiful argument, since it is inevitable, then admit it himself, and lower this matter from discussing family affairs to quarreling with his brother, which suddenly lowered the seriousness of the problem to a notch.

He Jin was quite satisfied with this response, but He Hanwen was treated unfairly, which is a sure fact. If you don't reward and punish in moderation, you will lose your father's demeanor, so he said: "Uncle Ying, don't avoid the important and take care of him." Ask you again for your father, Qiao'er is your maid, can you beat her?"

"This... He Xian was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, He Hanwen raised his head and said, "Father, Qiao'er was indeed beaten. My brother is also angry for a while, so it's better to... ”

"Do not answer without asking. He Jin's face was expressionless, and He Hanwen couldn't handle it well for a while, so he didn't say much.

He Jin then asked, "Is it or not?" Uncle Ying, tell the truth. After speaking, he looked at He Miao and Zhao, and continued: "Neither of them are outsiders, why can't you say it? If you consciously make a mistake, why did you do it at that time?!"

He Xian couldn't hear the meaning of his father's reproach, so he had to answer honestly: "But what Hanwen said, son, um... On the spur of the moment. My son was confused for a while!"

He Jin stopped pressing and asking, he felt that the matter had been asked to such a point, and he knew in his heart that none of the people present were stupid, and they naturally understood. As for the things on the surface, according to Hanwen, it can be regarded as passable.

It's time to close the coffin.

"That being the case, Uncle Ying. You are an elder brother, so there are more mistakes, and in terms of affection, sighing as a younger brother, it is to be maintained. sigh, you are not the eldest son, from the perspective of etiquette, Uncle Ying, as an elder brother, also has to be maintained. Now make the following conclusions: Uncle Ying, sigh, you brothers are the same as the children of the family, you need brothers and friends to be respectful, serve the family, and not fry each other. You apologize to each other with sincerity. In addition, Uncle Ying, you don't like Qiao'er to serve, so you let her sigh. All the servants and maidservants in thy garden are gone, and only two who serve are left to your own choosing, or thy mother is the deceased. ”

He Jin only said that He Xian didn't like Qiao'er, so he exposed the beating and didn't mention it again. He Hanwen said again: "Hanwen, is it difficult to be a father?"

He Hanwen knew that He Jin didn't plan to investigate He Xian's mistakes more, but what could he do? After all, He Jin was still in charge of this family, and He Xian was the eldest son after all, and his current identity was powerless.

However, this is the case, and Li'er is not the same. He Hanwen jumped up and down, endured humiliation, but this was not the result. So he needed to get some benefit.

"Father, Hanwen has been cared for by his mother since he was a child, and his mother taught his son to learn etiquette, and Hanwen is grateful. It is precisely because of learning etiquette that we know how to advance and retreat. Now that this matter is over, Hanwen understands his father's difficulties, and he also understands his brother's mistakes. Ran Hanwen has a wish, I wonder if his father can agree?" He Hanwen began to bargain.

He Jin knew what He Hanwen meant, he thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter was not unavoidable, even if it was to compensate this son. If you can say something, it is not impossible. Therefore, he said, "Sigh and listen." ”

As soon as He Hanwen heard that there was a drama in this matter, he was overjoyed, first buttoned his head, and then told it eloquently, clearly: "Father, mother, uncle, uncle." Hanwen saw that his brother was often diligent in reading and discussing the Tao, and Hanwen really longed for him. There is no form today, and it is really because of the book discussion with my brother. Hanwen knows that he is shallow in his studies, so he also wants to study in order to enter the right path. ”

He Jin didn't expect He Hanwen to want to study. In fact, he originally thought that in a few years, he would invite a gentleman into the house to teach Hanwen. Now that Hanwen proposed, he was relieved. "This son is sensible, not as arrogant as Uncle Ying. He Jin thought to himself.

"Reading is the right way, so I don't want to do it, I want you for my father!

"Hanwen has thanked his father! Hanwen still has a desire, his grandmother is old, and Hanwen has seen less recently. Now that Hanwen is able to stand on her own and misses her grandmother, it is better to move into her grandmother's garden, take care of it, and come to be with her grandmother as a companion to ease her heart. When my grandmother saw Hanwen reading with her day and night, she would feel that the He family was thriving, and she would be happy, and her health would be better. ”

"That's it, ma'am, and you take care of it here. Sigh and Uncle Ying, go back to their rooms. Shuda, come with me, and I will continue the topic with your brother... ”

The cold winter breeze blew tonight. The branches sticking out from within the walls of Hefu beckoned to the wind and scattered a few leaves. However, this year's winter seems to have been warmer, and at least the next morning, there was no frost and dew on the eaves of the side garden where Ho Hanwen lived.
