Chapter 184: Family Affection
In the next few days, Yuan Qi fell into an extremely busy situation. The www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion not only had to organize the reconstruction of the elite army, but also personally inspected the site so that the college could be built, and often went to the headquarters of the Taishi Chamber of Commerce to calculate the specific use of property with his grandfather Yi, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to visit his mother and wife. In the words of a classic in later generations, it is necessary to devote limited time to unlimited struggle for the cause, this sentence is simply the best interpretation of Yuanqi's current situation.
Just when Yuan Qi was busy, the arrival of the two people made Yuan Qi have to leave all the work at hand and greet the two in person. These two people are none other than Yuan Qi's father, Yuan Ying, and his father-in-law, Jinshang. After welcoming into the mansion, Yuan Qi asked respectfully with a tired look on his face, "Father, father-in-law, why did you come back?"
Yuan Ying made a cold face and snorted and said, "Do you still know that there is a father like me? I ask you, after you came back, have you ever visited your mother who wept for you day and night? Have you ever visited the clothes that are worried about you?"
Yuan Qi opened his mouth when asked, and replied in a low voice: "Isn't the child busy, all kinds of things are about to tire the child down." ”
Yuan Ying listened to Yuan Qi's defense, the anger on his face was even stronger, and he was just about to open his mouth to reprimand, but Jin Shang on the side stretched out his hand to stop Yuan Ying, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Brother Yuan Ying, you just put away Father Yan's posture, and I don't know who is chattering along the way, worried about Yuan Qi's safety." Old Yuan Ying's face turned red, snorted heavily, and sat down to stop talking.
Jin Shang turned his head to look at Yuan Qi, and said with a smile: "Yuan Qi, the old man and your father came here, and they didn't mean anything else. Originally, I wanted to come to see you, worried about what damage you suffered in the battle of Shaxian. Later, when I heard that you had been promoted to the Son of Heaven and the promotion of the subordinate martial arts and the establishment of the academy, the old man and your father asked the Holy Lord for an angel's errand and took the opportunity to come back to help you. ”
"Help so-and-so?" Yuan Qi asked suspiciously: "Your two elders are both important ministers in the court, can you stay and not return to the capital?"
Yuan Ying stretched out his hand and pointed at Jin Shang, and said angrily: "Isn't it your good father-in-law, who forced him to resign from his official position for his father, return to his hometown, and come back together to help you take care of those trivial matters?!Your father-in-law has even sold his mansion and is ready to fund you, don't you hurry up and thank your father-in-law!" In the end, Yuan Ying's originally slightly stern tone slowly softened.
Jin Shang reached into his arms. Slowly took out two things, holding a scroll of holy decrees in his left hand, and holding a list in his right hand, and handed them to Yuan Qi at the same time, and said in his mouth: "This is the holy decree of the Son of Heaven." The Son of Heaven has consented to all the things which you have done, and has granted you the rank of knight to the rank of the generals under your command, and has granted you the right to arbitrarily decide on the occasion of the occasion, and you may decide at your own discretion in all things in the two states. As for this list, it is the old man's entire family property. After the old man sold the family property, the money in exchange was recorded on it, and now the old man is penniless and poor, and he will have to rely on you to support him in the future. ”
Yuan Qi was moved in his heart, stretched out his hand to take the holy decree and the list, and said with a little choked up: "Father-in-law, I really don't know what to say, my son-in-law will kowtow to you." "Although Jin Shang is a Hongru. But if you are honest, you will naturally not have a lot of wealth in your hands, but this affection moved Yuan Qi deeply. Yuan Qi, who didn't even have to bow down when he saw the Son of Heaven, willingly bowed to Jin Shang under the warm family affection.
Jin Shang smiled and helped Yuan Qi up, pointed at Yuan Ying, and said: "The person you really want to thank is your father, in order to come back to help you, he abandoned his life's persistence." He also prepared a generous gift for you. Hearing this, Yuan Ying smiled and beckoned to the outside of the hall, and dozens of accompanying sergeants walked in carrying more than a dozen large boxes, and after putting the boxes in the hall, they saluted Yuan Qi, and then bowed their heads and retreated.
Yuan Qi looked at the dozen or so big boxes in front of him suspiciously, and said in surprise: "Where did my father get so much money?" Yuan Ying was so angry by Yuan Qi's words that he almost didn't jump up, and scolded angrily: "Bastard! You unfilial son, for your father and for your officials, where can you find so much money?" ”
Yuan Qi hesitated to open a box, but what jumped into his eyes was not the gold and silver jewelry he imagined, but bundles of bamboo slips. Yuan Ying's voice sounded again: "Do you see clearly? For my father and my official integrity, I can't take out a single copper coin." These books are copies copied by my father in the Eastern View. All the books in the Dongguan have been copied by the Father, and now, these copies are yours. ”
Yuan Qi opened his mouth in surprise and looked at the books in the box in disbelief. Right now, Yuan Qi is worried about the opening of the academy, and his father sent these books at the right time, which is simply a relief in the snow. Dongguan is the library of the royal family, which contains a variety of rare and valuable books for research, which can be said to be a place where all civilizations throughout the ages are brought together, so the value of the books in Dongguan is even no less than gold in terms of civilization alone. Yuan Qi obtained these collections, which was equivalent to obtaining the general outline of all the knowledge in the world, and it was completely possible to use these collections as syllabuses.
More importantly, the collection of books in Dongguan is like a huge magnet, which has an irresistible allure for all scholars, and many people want to feast their eyes on it but cannot enter it. Now that Yuan Qi has these collections, are you still afraid that you won't be able to recruit teachers who are famous enough? Are you still afraid that you won't be able to recruit a large enough number of students? Yuan Qi looked at the Linben in front of him blankly, and really wanted to shout: Linben is in hand, and all the scholars in the world belong to me!
Turning around, Yuan Qi looked excited, and was about to thank his father, but Yuan Ying waved his hand and said: "Actually, the reason why my father was able to bring these Linben to Youzhou was the meaning of the saint. If you want to give thanks, thank the Holy One. Yuan Qi suddenly woke up when he heard this, Dongguan is the imperial library, and the emperors of all dynasties have been extremely strict in protecting Dongguan, if there is no consent of Yuan Xie, even if Yuan Ying has the identity of the emperor, he cannot copy the collection of books in Dongguan without permission.
Yuan Qi faced the direction of the capital, and muttered in remembrance: "Xiao Xiezi, thank you." ”
"Alright, now that business is over, it's time for us to talk about personal matters. Yuan Ying interrupted Yuan Qi's thoughts with his mouth: "Follow your father into the back hall to visit your mother and Yi'er." ”
Listening to Yuan Ying's words, Yuan Qi's face was embarrassed again. Since returning to Youzhou. Yuan Qi hasn't gone to see his mother, mother and wife Jinyi, it's not that Yuan Qi is unkind, it's really because of Sun Shangxiang's matter, so Yuan Qi doesn't know how to face them. Now Yuan Ying proposed to go to the back hall, Yuan Qi had to harden his head, followed behind Yuan Ying and Jin Shang, and walked towards the back hall step by step.
Along the way, Yuan Qi was thinking about how to tell Sun Shangxiang about Sun Shangxiang after seeing his mother and Jinyi later. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked outside the backyard door, he heard a burst of laughter like a silver bell: "Sister Yi'er." Your piano sound is so good, unlike Shang Xiang, who can only dance with knives and guns. Why don't you teach me to play the piano? Jinyi's voice immediately sounded: "The piano technique is just a small path. My sister is very envious of you, the dancing sword is so imposing. If my sister can have your one-and-a-half moves, she can also protect her husband on the battlefield. ”
This is...... The conversation between Sun Shangxiang and Jinyi? Yuan Qi immediately felt that his brain was a little insufficient, how did the two of them play together? Listening to the tone, it seemed that they still got along very well? The two of them, if they didn't cross their eyebrows and were cold, Yuan Qi was about to burn high incense, but how could it be such a situation now? And what kind of situation is this situation? For the first time in his life, Yuan Qi felt that his brain had a short-circuit problem.
Walking into the backyard, Yuan Qi hurriedly raised his eyes and saw Jinyi sitting on a chair with a guqin on the table in front of him, while Sun Shangxiang was reclining on Jinyi's body with his hands around Jinyi's neck. Looking at the appearance of the second daughter, it is clear that she is a close friend, how can there be a little estrangement.
"You ...... How could it be ......" Yuan Qi stammered and wanted to ask what the situation of the two was, but he was embarrassed to do so in front of Yuan Ying and Jin Shang. asked what he wanted to ask directly, and the way he wanted to say it again made Jinyi and Sun Shangxiang burst into a pleasant laugh like a silver bell at the same time.
Hearing the laughter of the second daughter, Yi Yue walked out of the room and said with a smile: "You two crazy girls, what are you laughing at?" As soon as the sentence was finished, he saw three men, two old and one young, standing in the courtyard, and the pace under his feet suddenly stopped, and he looked at Yuan Qi fixedly, his eyes were already moist, and big tears slipped down his face.
Seeing his mother crying, Yuan Qi felt ashamed in his heart, hurriedly took two steps forward, knelt in front of his mother, and said with self-reproach: "Mother, the child is not filial, which makes you worried." Yi Yue cried loudly, hugged Yuan Qi in her arms, stretched out her right hand and slapped Yuan Qi's back vigorously, and said in a choked voice: "The wings are stiff, right? I don't know if I came back to see my mother first, right? I almost lost my life, do you want my mother to worry about dying for you?"
Yuan Ying hurriedly stepped forward and comforted his wife in a low voice: "Madam, okay, okay, Yuan Qi came back safely, we should be happy, in front of them, what kind of system do you cry and cry for? Besides, Yuan Qi is now the governor of the Metropolitan and is not a child, you have to save some face for Yuan Qi...... right."
"Shut up!" Yi Yue said angrily to Yuan Ying: "You still say this? If it weren't for you, let Yuan Qi go to the battlefield at the age of eight, how could you have so many troubles today? Also, when you ran to the capital alone and threw our orphans and widows in Youzhou, you have no conscience."
Yuan Ying's fear of guilt is famous, and he was scolded by Yi Yue pointing his nose in front of his daughter-in-law, Yuan Ying's face was flushed, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. In the end, it was Jin Shang who stood up and solved Yuan Ying's dilemma: "Forget it, on the day of the family reunion, what to do with those unhappy things." Saying that, Jin Shang also secretly glanced at Yuan Ying.
Yuan Ying understood, took Yi Yue's hand, walked towards the room, and whispered as he walked: "Madam, isn't it okay to compensate you, let's go to the room and talk slowly, you see, Yuan Qi and Yi'er are still there, how much to save some face, isn't it......" Under Yuan Ying's language offensive, Yi Yue broke into tears and smiled, glanced at Yuan Ying, and then followed Yuan Ying into the room.
After Yuan Ying and his wife entered the room, Jin Yi walked to Jin Shang's side and blessed Jin Shang, and then the father and daughter whispered on the side. Speaking of which, Jinyi hasn't seen her father for several years, although she really wants to have a warm encounter with Yuan Qi, who has been married for a long time, but she can't bear to snub her father, or how to say that her daughter is her father's little padded jacket.
On the other side, Sun Shangxiang walked to Yuan Qi's side lightly and whispered in Yuan Qi's ear: "Aunt is so domineering, I will be like Aunt in the future! What do you think?" Sun Shangxiang's words immediately made Yuan Qi burst into tears, looked at Sun Shangxiang with an aggrieved face, and said pitifully: "Don't... ”
