Chapter 53
"My sister-in-law worked hard to manage the family and gave birth to children for my eldest brother. She is a rare good woman. The reason why she scolded me was to urge me to move forward. My eldest brother divorced her wife was because of me."
After a bowl of fish soup was eaten with delicious fish balls, Gongsun Quji finally sighed and talked about his family affairs.
With his pride, he didn't like to talk about this. The reason why he brought his eldest brother to pay homage to the young master was because he was worried about his choice and was afraid that what he had to do was wrong, so he insisted on coming and meeting him. The reason why he didn't wait for Bai Jingyuan to ask about it was that first, it was because of his eldest brother's recognition, and second, it was because of what Uncle Yang had done before, which forced him to do so.
Since the young master already knows it, he is not beautiful when he hides it.
"What do you plan to do?"
When you don’t want to express your opinions, then ask questions!
Bai Jingyuan bit the sour apricot dried rice in small mouthfuls and looked at him curiously.
Political affairs always give him a headache, and he feels that it will be much better to eat and chat.
Although this artificial warmth cannot cover up the coldness behind political affairs, he still enjoys it.
For example, now, he deliberately did not think about these questions: Is his sister-in-law really a good woman as he said? He ran out of the house with naked body, was he so angry that he was irrational for a moment? Or did he know that he was nearby and acted like this to attract his attention? Has his sister-in-law really abused him? He said he went to beg his sister-in-law to come back, is it true? Or is it false?
Don’t think deeply about everything, otherwise life will not be happy.
Gongsun Quji smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighed, "My sister-in-law has returned home now. It is said that she cried all the way when she left, and she told her elder brother not to regret it. If it weren't for her nephews, she would have brought her servants to beat people on the day she returned home. I wanted to invite her sister-in-law back, but her elder brother was annoyed by her elder brother and me, and she would not meet her face."
"Sir, I must have a perfect solution!"
Bai Jingyuan looked at him with encouragement, but still gave no comments.
Gongsun Quji continued to smile bitterly: "I thought about asking my nephews to go with me to ask for their entreaties, but I made their mother return home, and now I let them endure the cold eyes of foreigners because of my fault. It is really not a gentleman."
No matter what people do, they can connect it with etiquette and morality. I heard Lu'er say that when eating meat, he would not sit or eat if he was not cut properly. Bai Jingyuan felt that most of the people who said this were obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Now Gongsun Quji's words are obviously nothing to do with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"It seems that's true!"
Bai Jingyuan touched his chin and said, "Don't your nephews miss their mother?"
Seeing that Gongsun Quji's bowl was empty, Bai Jingyuan asked his maid to bring other food to him.
He didn't mind that the other nobles, even the lowest-ranking aristocrats, were very concerned.
Just because the buli is a slave.
Of course, you can live a life with your own doors and no matter what, but if you entertain guests or subordinates, some jobs cannot be done by slaves.
Slaves are only worthy of doing dirty work. Even if they are cleaning up dirty bowls, they can only lower their heads, kneel into the house, collect them quietly, and then leave quietly. It is not their turn to serve the food.
In this regard, Bai Jingyuan was always very casual. He had let the blister beautify him before. Now Lu'er knelt behind him and secretly poked him hard with his fingers. He had to follow the rules.
The two of them had small movements, and Gongsun Quji saw them all. The person who served the food suddenly changed to a maid in green. He also noticed it, but he just pretended that he had seen nothing and continued to say with a bitter face:
"How can children bring shame to their mothers because of their selfish desires? Even if nephews miss their sister-in-law, they will never force their sister-in-law to come back with their mother-son affection. If you want your sister-in-law to come back, unless my elder brother and I are sincere enough, how can I live to the age of twenty and have no life, and you should not rely on your elder brother all this?
She was driven home by Gongsun Wuqi. If she had no explanation, she would come back by herself. The insider would say that she was thinking about her children, and those who didn't know would definitely say bad things about her.
Bai Jingyuan rubbed his chin, stood up and walked twice, and ordered Lu'er: "I remember Mr. Zhang offered a few pieces of silk before, which was very beautiful. Go and get it to the sir."
Then he said to Gongsun Quji: "Since you know your mistake, then tomorrow I will take these silks to your sister-in-law's house to apologize! I think as long as you are sincere enough, she will forgive you and make peace with your elder brother!"
Bai Jingyuan smiled and saw Gongsun Quji falling to the ground in emotion, and hurriedly helped him up.
At critical moments, you can no longer not express your opinions like before.
Gongsun Quji got the silk gift from the young master, and specially carried it around the canal and walked around the government office twice, so that everyone, especially Uncle Yang, could see it clearly.
People in this era often live for face.
The so-called separation between the king and the minister is essentially just because you do your best to do your work for me and I try your best to meet your needs.
Seeing that he had left, Bai Jingyuan was not interested in eating anymore. He said goodbye to Bai Liang and took Lu Er back to his temporary residence.
As soon as he entered the room, he ordered his servants: "Transfer "Chu Ji" to me! Then call the eight lecturers given by my mother!"
He decided to study this book again!
If he hadn't learned this before, he would probably not have realized Gongsun Quji's desire today.
These scholars are so hateful! If you want to say that you want it directly, you have to pretend that someone else has to give it to you and accept it reluctantly!
If he cannot study these thoroughly, as more and more ministers, he will sooner or later lose his will!
The reason why Gongsun Quji tactfully asked for rewards and solved the problem of small family matters and let people know that the young master did not harm him because of this small matter is more important.
He always feels that his brain is almost out of reach!
If you want to live here, you must recharge it!
Bai Jingyuan tried his best to study here, and Ren Yi, who was staring at the craftsman's liver and horseshoe in the casting room, also received a message from Lu'er.
When Ren Yi learned that Uncle Yang wanted to use the young master to eliminate dissidents, he was furious and was about to send someone to lock Uncle Yang and send him back to the queen. After thinking about it, he still felt that it was not good for him to intervene, so he ordered:
"Go! Dedicate the red to the young master!"
After getting the order, I went down and arranged it immediately.
So, when Bai Jingyuan's study came to an end, he saw Lu'er leading a young woman with a sharp sword on her waist and a red birthmark on her face, and a straight and pine-like birthmark.
"Who is this?"
All the servants around the young master had beautiful faces, and most of the right faces were covered with bright red birthmarks. Logically speaking, they were not qualified to serve the young master at all.
He didn't dislike him, he just felt puzzled.
Lu'er smiled cutely: "This is a knife given to the young master by General Yongyi. If anyone is disrespectful to the young master in the future, as long as the young master thinks, Hong can kill this young master!"
This is Ren Yi's solution.
He did not make decisions for him, but only provided him with the strength to solve problems.
When Bai Jingyuan heard this, he did not think about Uncle Yang. He felt that Lu'er was thinking a little too much and couldn't help but laugh!
"Where will anyone disrespect me? Haha! There is still 'renew'?! It's not good at all!"
Lu'er sighed, despairing at this lucky silly guy, signaling Hong to stand in a corner of the house, and no longer said, just asking him if he wanted something to drink.
Bai Jingyuan was already tired, so he immediately called Tonger and asked him to go to the blister house to ask if there was any good fruit soup.
Chapter completed!
