Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the next few days, Jia Gongqiu had no intention of doing anything, whether it was practicing kung fu, piano, or reading and calligraphy.

    There were not many quarrels at home. After Mr. Liu made his decision, the board of directors quickly agreed. The servants of the family left one after another. The outer courtyard was soon more than half empty, leaving only a concierge, a cook, a coachman, and a maid in each room.  , two more servants were left in the whole yard, and the rest were dismissed.

    When this decision was announced at home, the reaction of the servants and maids was huge, and some were even fierce. Jia Kuanyuan suppressed it as a district leader. Sui'er quietly told Jia Gongqiu that in fact, these servants and maids did not  If you are willing to leave, the work in Jia's house is much easier, and the wages are higher than those of workshop workers.

    "Sixth Master, Grandma, there is nothing we can do, we can only admit it."

    Sui'er's tone contained regret and luck in staying, but also a hint of worry. She was the only girl around Jia Gongqiu, and no one could compete with her. Moreover, the sixth grandma and Jia Gongqiu were also very satisfied with her, so she could stay.  .

    But what will happen in the future?  As a rural girl, her family is very poor and she doesn't know a few words. What can she do in the city of Yanjing?  Where can she go after leaving Jia's house?

    "What's the matter with you these past two days?" Wu Feng soon discovered that Jia Gongqiu was uneasy. He had already gotten angry several times when he was walking. After getting angry, he felt a little regretful.

    When he first started teaching, he just couldn't resist the request of Mr. Liu and his grandma, and just taught some boxing and leg embroidery and that's it. But after getting in touch with him, he found that Jia Gongqiu was very serious and able to endure hardships. He completed every day's training seriously for several months.  There has been great progress going down, and the stability of the bottom plate has been significantly improved, which is very rare for a five-year-old child.

    But in the past two days, Wu Feng found that Jia Gongqiu was obviously worried. He was distracted whether he was doing things or practicing. Sometimes he was mumbling something, which made him strange and angry.

    "Alas, I am really sad." Jia Gongqiu couldn't help singing a line of drama, but his little face couldn't connect with the old man anyway. Sui'er burst out laughing next to him, and Wu Feng couldn't help but smile.

    "Teacher, why do we need to join forces? Is dad's brain confused by?" Jia Gongqiu almost said that he was kicked by a donkey, but he changed his tune when the words came to his lips.

    "Confused?" Wu Feng smiled faintly and patted him twice on the head: "Sixth Master is not confused. In the future, if you want him to be half as capable as him, the world will let you go."

    "Ah!" Jia Gongqiu's eyes widened. This cheap dad was so powerful that even a strong man like Wu Feng admired him so much.

    Although Wu Feng had only taught him for a few months, Jia Gongqiu fully understood his strengths and weaknesses. With one palm strike, a wooden stick as thick as a bowl could be split in half, and he could climb a hundred-meter-high cliff with his bare hands.  Marksmanship, within 100 meters, with 100 hits. Of course, the latter two were only vaguely mentioned under Jia Gongqiu's seduction, but once Jia Gongqiu asked more about them, Wu Feng never mentioned them.

    "I can't tell." Jia Gongqiu lowered his head and muttered in a low voice. Wu Feng still heard it, and he couldn't help but shake his head: "If you, a five-year-old child, can tell it, Master Six has died countless times. He is like this."  I've been through so many stormy waves in my life that it scares you to death just to mention it. What are you thinking about for such a grown-up person? Just do what you're supposed to do."

    "Teacher, can dad beat you?"

    "Those who are truly interested never take action." Wu Feng responded calmly.

    Although Jia Gongqiu did not completely believe what Wu Feng said, the cheap dad was so powerful that even Wu Feng, who was so strong in martial arts and so arrogant in his heart, admired Wu Feng, so the cheap dad was still a bit weak.

    Are you pretending to be B? Pretending to be B will be punished.

    Wu Feng didn't hear clearly this time. He watched helplessly as Jia Gongqiu shook his head and walked out. Sui'er followed him with a low smile. After a few steps, he turned around and hurriedly saluted Wu Feng, and then took Wu Feng aside.  After taking off his clothes, he quickly chased Jia Gongqiu.

    Wu Feng shook his head helplessly. He had said many times that he would wash his clothes by himself, but Sui'er firmly disagreed. She would go to his room every day and help him clean up the room. If there was a change of clothes, he would take them away.  Bring it back to him again.

    Gradually, Wu Feng got used to this, and even more accustomed to staying in Jia's house, and almost never went back to another home.

    There are few people in the family now, and the whole yard is deserted. Almost everyone feels the desertion. At the dinner table, everyone is silent for a long time, only the sound of chewing and swallowing food is left.

    Jia Kuanyuan went home more often, but now he was the public indignation of the whole family. Except for Mr. Liu and Zhu Xiu, everyone else almost ignored him. After a few times, he was too lazy to mediate the atmosphere.

    Jia Gongqiu still threw down his bowl and sneaked back to his yard after eating as before.After taking a nap, I got up and started practicing the piano. After practicing the piano, I practiced calligraphy again. When all of this was done, it was almost time for dinner.  After dinner, you can play for an hour, and then do Zamabu again.

    Apart from practicing kung fu, it takes very little time to do other things. On the piano, I have a foundation in the previous life, and now I am just reviewing. With Fang Jingyi, a famous teacher, his progress can be expressed at a rapid pace. Fang Jingyi began to teach Bach's Part 2  Creative song.

    The water vapor has a strong medicinal smell. Over the past few months, Jia Gongqiu has become accustomed to this smell. After doing the horse step every day, he jumps into the bathtub. The water in the bathtub is not simple bath water, but made from  It was made from five or six kinds of medicine, but it was not provided by Wu Feng, but made by Liu Ye.  Jia Gongqiu asked Mr. Liu what effect the water had, but Mr. Liu didn't say anything. He just told him to soak it for an hour every night.

    ¡°Oh, maybe it¡¯s really some kind of secret book.¡± Jia Gongqiu muttered in his heart, with a towel covering his little face.

    "Is it hot or not?" Sui'er would ask every time. Looking at the steaming bath water, she had some worry in her eyes.

    "Sister Sui'er, what do you plan to do in the future?"

    "What to do? What else can I do." Sui'er was a little confused. The changes at home made her slightly worried about the future, but she didn't know what to do.

    "Sister Sui'er, your household registration is in Yanjing, right?"

    "Well, it was already registered when I registered my household registration last time. Master, is this of any use? I will still go back to the countryside in the future."

    "This thing is useful, you will know in the future."

    Jia Gongqiu only recently learned that Yanjing registered his household registration two years ago, and all the servant girls who left the Jia Mansion had already registered their household registration in Yanjing. This made him a little curious. In his previous life, he had to register his household registration in Yanjing. What happened to Sui'er?  For ordinary people, it is almost impossible to reach the sky.

    "In the future," Sui'er sighed softly. Jia Gongqiu smiled softly, lifted up the towel, lay down beside the tub, raised his head and looked at Sui'er: "Sister, what are you worrying about? No matter what happens in the future, I will protect you."  With you."

    Sui'er smiled with relief, feeling sweet in her heart, as if all her hard work in the past few years had been rewarded. Although she called her young master, in her heart, Jia Gongqiu was undoubtedly a villain like her younger brother.  After being away from home for so many years, she rarely went home. She also knew a little about the situation at home. With the money she sent home, her two younger brothers went to school. The eldest brother will go to junior high school this year, and the younger brother and sister will also go to school.  Go to elementary school.

    In rural areas, it is difficult for girls to go to school, but Sui'er's parents still let her sister go to school.  Of course Sui'er didn't know that this was because she had threatened to stop sending money home if her sister was not allowed to study.

    Of course, Sui'er didn't know that this threat was not her intention, but Jia Gongqiu's intention.  Sui'er was illiterate, so every letter she wrote for more than a year was ghostwritten by Jia Gongqiu, and every reply was read to her by Jia Gongqiu.

    "Sister, you'd better read some books and learn some calligraphy."

    ¡°I¡¯m a girl, what¡¯s the use of reading and literacy.¡±

    "Why is it useless? Look at Teacher Fang, Dai'er, and my mother. Aren't they all literate? Sister, I will teach you from now on." What Jia Gongqiu likes most is Sui'er's submissive gentleness. He feels that she  With low self-esteem, love suddenly overflowed, no one could stop it, everything was taken care of.

    "How can I compare with my wife? I'm just a poor girl from the countryside." Sui'er touched the water temperature and felt a little cold. She picked up the ladle and scooped out some of the water, then lifted the bucket next to her and poured the hot water in.

    "Poor girl?" Jia Gongqiu smiled: "Do you know what our ancestors of the Jia family do?"

    Sui'er was busy fetching water from outside. She had just scooped the water from the cauldron into a bucket when she heard movement at the door. She looked up and saw Zhu Xiu and Liu Ye quietly entering the door. Zhu Xiu raised a eyebrow at her mouth.  finger.

    "Our ancestor of the Jia family was actually a pauper. He walked around the streets and rang bells to practice medicine. He was also a poor doctor who traveled around the world. But it was this poor doctor who relied on his own knowledge to become the leader of the Jia family.  A century-old foundation;

    Sister, do you know why among so many poor doctors who ring bells and practice medicine, only our ancestors of the Jia family have established such a great empire?  In fact, the reason is very simple. It boils down to one sentence: knowledge is power.

    Where does knowledge come from? It comes from books.

    So, poverty is not terrible, but lack of knowledge is terrible.  So, sister, you have to study. Only with knowledge can you change your destiny.

    There is a saying that if you are not afraid of hooligans, you should be afraid that the hooligans are educated.  "

    Jia Gongqiu closed his eyes and talked nonchalantly. He didn't notice at all that there were two more people outside the curtain. Zhu Xiu signaled Sui'er to continue adding water. Sui'er's face turned pale. She wanted to remind herMaster, but she didn't dare, so she could only move mechanically.

    "Who is the most admirable person in this world? Sister, let me tell you, the kind of person who conquers the world with bare hands and rises to the top of the world from the grassroots, no matter where he is, people admire him.

    Let¡¯s just talk about the old man. He always sticks to his word in the clan. Why?  The most important thing is that the old man conquered Jinan with his bare hands, rather than relying on the little things left by his ancestors.

    Let¡¯s talk about my mother. That bastard Kuang Guang said that my mother was born as a girl, but he doesn¡¯t know that a person like him is not even qualified to carry my mother¡¯s shoes. In other words, he is a second-generation ancestor who has no ability at all.  They don't have the skills to be a dandy and a bastard. They are pure waste. They will cry in the future.

    Sister, are you interested in letting Kuang Guang be your servant in the future? Don¡¯t give him too high a position, like a door, no, no, with this guy¡¯s character, even a door will let thieves in.  This trash seems to know nothing except eating. I don't even know where to put him. Forget it, let's just treat him like a pig.  "

    Jia Gongqiu was talking incoherently, and Sui'er's face turned pale with fright. When she heard Kuang Guang's comments later, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare. She took advantage of the moment when she was carrying water to take a peek at Liu Ye and Zhu Xiu.  Master Liu was smiling, but Zhu Xiu looked a little unhappy.

    "Oh, by the way, sister, has it been an hour? What dad does is mysterious. What's the use of soaking this potion? He always soaks it into roast duck. Damn, it's still red-skinned."

    Sui'er came in with a bucket and said to herself, Master, Master, stop talking nonsense, the master and his wife are outside. She poured the water into the bucket and reached out to touch it: "Is the temperature enough?"

    "That's enough, that's enough. If you blanch it again, it will really turn into a red-skinned roast duck."

    Taking a bath like this is very lonely and sad. Jia Gongqiu always pulls Sui'er and talks nonsense. Sui'er is also used to his nonsense, but today Liu Ye and Zhu Xiu heard it. What's even more unlucky is that this little boy  The young master also spoke freely. He not only commented on the people in the house, but also on the sixth master and Zhu Xiu. It was really

    The white woven lamp was a little dim, and the inner room covered by the curtain was even darker. Jia Gongqiu had his back to the outside room, and was completely unaware of the situation outside. When two buckets of steaming potion came down, the water temperature in the buckets was much higher. Sui'er deliberately  When the hot water was poured near his body, it became even hotter, a layer of water mist rose, and the smell of medicine in the air became stronger.

    "Boy, you are very ambitious."

    Jia Gongqiu's body stiffened slightly, and he slowly turned around. When he looked at Zhu Xiu, the sixth master, who came in through the curtain, he already showed a bright smile: "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"

    "If we don't come, how would we know that you have such great ambitions?" Mr. Liu's eyes were a bit playful: "Do you want to raise Kuan Guang like a pig?"

    "Hey, dad, mom, who can treat our eldest nephew as a pig? Absolutely not, hehe, dad, did you hear it wrong? Sister Sui'er, did I say such a thing?"

    Sui'er pursed her lips and smiled, did not answer, and went out with the bucket. Zhu Xiu brought a stool to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu sat down and stared at Jia Gongqiu condescendingly. Jia Gongqiu felt a little scared.  I didn't feel that way before, but today I suddenly realized that Mr. Liu's eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through his inner world.

    "Dad, don't look at me like this. My little heart is pounding and my blood pressure is already very high."

    Zhu Xiu couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter. Master Six also showed a smile. Zhu Xiu said angrily: "You are so young, you have so many messy thoughts."

    "Mom, it's not my fault that I matured prematurely." Jia Gongqiu cast a resentful wink in an aggrieved manner.

    Jia Gongqiu was actually very nervous. He didn't know what Liu Ye and Zhu Xiu had heard, and he had forgotten what he had said. He was trying his best to cover up his panic. Fortunately, this was already his habit, at least not yet.  Anyone noticed.

    "Son, having ambition is not a bad thing, but ambition alone is not enough, you also need means. Do you have such means?" Liu Ye asked.

    Jia Gongqiu's mood relaxed a little, and he still smiled sweetly, but his eyes were rolling around: "Dad, can you teach me."

    The sixth master lowered his head and thought. Jia Gongqiu didn't know what he was thinking. He felt that his smile was a little stiff. Zhu Xiu asked lightly: "Where did you know all those things?"

    Jia Gongqiu thought a little and understood what she was referring to. He smiled innocently again: "I heard what Kuangguang and the others said. Mom, our ancestors really practiced medicine by ringing bells."

    Zhu Xiu glared at him fiercely, feeling extremely resentful in her heart. She was from a humble background and controlled the entire Jia family. These young masters and ladies were dissatisfied and would take advantage of this for fun every now and then to vent their dissatisfaction. It was better to have his own son. Don't look at the little ones.  , knowledgeable, much better than those young masters and ladies.

    "There is something you can sayIt's well said, knowledge is power," Liu Ye said calmly: "Since I know this truth, why have I never seen you go to Ruyi Tower?  "

    Ruyi Building is the library of the Jia family, with a height of three floors. After all, the Jia family is a medical family, and the collection of books is not as good as that of those scholarly families, but even so, it has accumulated a lot over hundreds of years.

    The ancestors of the Jia family did not want all the descendants of the Jia family to go into medicine. They also hoped that the descendants of the Jia family would produce a few top scholars and other talents. But it is strange that after hundreds of years, the Jia family has been very good in medicine.  There are several talents, even geniuses, but not even one Jinshi. At most, they are just candidates.

    Ruyilou is now the least valued area of ??the Jia family. Among the grandsons of the Kuan generation, Jia Kuanyuan is the only one, and none of the others likes to read. Jia Yun does like reading, and often holds a collection of poems in her hands, but Ruyilou  The above are all collections of classics and history, and Xu Zhimo is not qualified yet.

    Jia Gongqiu frowned slightly and showed a sad face: "Dad, okay, I'm only five years old, and I'm just a flower of the motherland. Others at my age are enjoying the sunshine outside. How can I be like your son?  If you can't even go out or take a second step, you don't know what the outside world is like, just like a young lady."

    "Huh, you want to run out again. Didn't I tell you? You are still too young now. When you grow up in a few years, you can go out." Zhu Xiu immediately interrupted, cutting off his little thoughts.

    It is tragic that after five years of rebirth, Zhu Xiu has never allowed him to step out of Jia's house. Before he was five years old, he was not even allowed to leave the second door. Even in the courtyard of the deep house, Sui'er must not leave his room even if he leaves the room.

    At first, Jia Gongqiu didn't know his mother's intention, but later he gradually understood it. But after he understood it, he felt that his mother was too arrogant. With the ability and courage of his eldest brother and nephews, he couldn't do anything to make money or kill someone.  move.

    Jia Gongqiu showed an undisguised look of disappointment, and the Sixth Master chuckled: "You can't become a tiger if you are locked in the courtyard. If you don't travel all over the world, you don't know how big the world is. If you want to go out, you can go out." After saying this, the Sixth Master stood up.  : "It will be good for you to take a look upstairs in Ruyi when you have time. Don't think too much. It's not your turn to be in charge of this house yet."

    "I know, Dad." Jia Gongqiu's answer was loud and powerful, and he began to wonder what his father meant by this.

    "Don't run too far, Sui'er, you have to follow." Zhu Xiu immediately added that since Mr. Liu has made a decision, she will not object as usual.

    After fighting for several times, Jia Gongqiu finally got what he wanted today. Jia Gongqiu hummed happily and lit the lanterns. Sui'er added hot water to him twice more before letting him come out and jump into the clear water bucket next to him.

    After leaving the yard, Mr. Liu suddenly smiled and said to Zhu Xiu: "Your son, not bad, not bad."

    Before Zhu Xiu could answer, Mr. Liu left with a smile. The reason why they came here today was because Wu Feng told them that Jia Gongqiu had been uneasy recently. They knew it might be the recent changes at home, so they came to take a look. Unexpectedly,  I heard such words.

    "Alas, this child is really troublesome." Zhu Xiu sighed, but the Sixth Master said: "No, Xiu, your son will be better than Gongshu Zhengyi in the future."

    After hearing Liu Ye¡¯s words, Zhu Xiu felt relieved. After sending Liu Ye back to his room, she turned back and called Sui¡¯er to the Baicao Garden for severe questioning.

    Facing the furious Zhu Xiu, Sui'er was very frightened and told Zhu Xiu stammering that when Jia Gongqiu was playing in the courtyard a few days ago, he met Kuang Guang and Kuan Min and they complained there, saying that it was his wife who encouraged Master Liu to accept  Jia Ying cursed some unpleasant words there. Jia Gongqiu heard it and went over to ask. She quickly went over and took him away.

    "Madam, the young master said I shouldn't take him away. In fact, he is looking for an opportunity to deal with Kuang Guang and Kuan Min, but the young master is too young, so I'm worried that he will suffer." Sui'er was very worried that Zhu Xiu would drive her out of Jia's house in anger.  , now his eyes were filled with tears.

    Combined with what Jia Gongqiu said just now, Zhu Xiu could conclude that Sui'er had no responsibility. It was not her who passed it on and she did not intentionally take Jia Gongqiu there. She felt a little relieved. If Sui'er had any involvement, she would definitely not let her stay.  Around my son.

    "Don't look so pitiful, hum. If something like this happens in the future, tell me. Don't talk behind your back."

    Zhu Xiu didn¡¯t completely believe these girls. She knew very well that these people were able to orchestrate their master¡¯s affairs behind the scenes, and they could do anything to add fuel to the fire and fan the flames.
