North Song

Chapter 3: Riches are hard to enjoy, and there are always tribulations

Views:

In the face of the threat of the door, Kou Ji has no fear.

He took out the official fuse from his arms and the letter Cole sent him, and threw it on the face of the door.

In Menzi's angry eyes, he said coldly: "After seeing it clearly, I will reply again. If you want to deceive the Lord with a slave, I don't mind teaching you the rules."

The door was also taken aback when he heard this.

The young man in front of him was obviously more imposing than those who came to cheat before.

He quickly picked up the official fuse from the ground, and after reading it carefully, his face changed.

"Papa~"

After reading the official fuse, Mengzi raised his hand and gave himself two big mouths without saying a word.

Then he wailed his face and said mournfully: "The villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, and doesn't know that the young master is face to face. It's really a crime worthy of death."

After saying this, he was ready to lie on the ground.

Kou Ji frowned and said coldly: "No need!"

Menzi's expression was even more bitter, and he said in an imploring voice, "Little Master, it's not a villain who is rude. It is true that the people who come to the house every day to slander and deceive are unknown, and the villains are also deceived by those swindlers."

"Okay, I don't blame you, take me into the house to visit my grandfather and father."

"Please! Please!"

The door heard that Kou Ji didn't blame it, and immediately led Kou Ji into the mansion with a smiling face.

At the main entrance of the mansion, there is a huge shadow wall that obscures the scenery behind.

There is a cursive manuscript on the screen wall.

Unfortunately, Kou Ji didn't know a word.

After bypassing the shadow wall, I saw the front yard of the main hall covering an area of one acre.

The front yard is paved with bluestone, and there is a huge sink in the middle, with a few lotus flowers in it, and occasionally carp comes out of the water, spitting bubbles.

There are various bonsais on both sides of the yard. The pines and cypresses are all green, and the rest are just green shoots in the early spring.

After the door passed the screen wall, he shouted loudly.

"Little Master is here!"

"Little Master is here!"

"..."

A woman, an old man, heard the call and greeted him.

The old man is wearing a long gown and a black square hat; the woman is wearing a green skirt with gold hairpins on her head, showing her unusual identity.

The old man came to Kou Ji, looked up and down, and said suspiciously: "You are..."

Menzi wisely handed the official fuze.

After reading it, the old man frowned and handed the official fuse to the woman.

After the woman saw it, the two saluted Kou Ji together.

"Kou Zhong has seen the young master..."

"Little lady Su Huiniang, I have seen the young master..."

Kou Ji didn't know the identity of the two, so he just nodded and said calmly, "Don't be polite."

The door said enthusiastically: "Little young master, butler Kou is the manager of the house, and manager Su is the manager of the inner courtyard."

Kou Ji did not express too much.

Kou Zhong and Su Huiniang did not intend to continue talking.

Kou Ji felt a faint sense of alienation from these two people.

The two of them, to be the steward of Kou Mansion, will inevitably follow his grandfather Kou Zhun for many years, and the attitude felt from them two can more or less guess Kou Zhun's attitude after seeing him.

It seems that his identity as a young master is not very valued in the Kou Mansion.

In the same way, his cheap father, I'm afraid he won't get much attention in the Kou Mansion.

"Can't go down yet?!"

Kou Zhong snorted coldly.

The door nodded and bowed out of the front yard.

Kou Ji frowned and said: "Lead the way before my head, I'm going to visit my grandfather."

Kou Zhong arched his hand and said lightly: "The master and uncle are talking in the main hall. You want to see the master, I'm afraid you will have to wait until the evening. Why don't you let Hui Niang arrange a guest room for you and take a rest?"

Kou Ji frowned tighter.

According to common sense, Kou approved Kou Li to be a son, and Kou Li had his son, then Kou Li would become the master of the house, and Kou Zhun would be promoted to the old man.

But Kou Zhong's name made him hear something different.

Kou Li didn’t seem to get Kou Zhun’s approval...

If Kou Zhun is not recognized, why should Kou Zhun recognize him as a follower

Could it be that during the period when he came to Bianjing, something happened that changed Kou Zhun's view of Kou Li

Kou Ji's mind turned sharply.

Kou Li was not recognized by Kou Mansion, I was afraid that he would become a famous Kou Zhun Congzi in the future.

His grandson will naturally become a famous grandson.

Why did he come to Bianjing

For the sake of wealth.

If you become an empty grandson, how can you enjoy wealth

For Kou Ji, it doesn't matter whether you see Kou Zhun or not.

But the ancients emphasized filial piety.

If he entered the mansion as a junior, he lived in without first worshipping his grandfather, and he would be considered unfilial.

So Kou Zhun was even more disappointed in their father and son

This is the end of my thoughts.

Kou Ji bluntly said to Kou loyally: "Are you going to prevent me from filial piety to my grandfather?"

Kou Zhong was taken aback, not even dare.

After the apologization, he still faintly said: "The master and uncle have important matters to discuss, it is related to the affairs of the country, and it is indeed inconvenient to be disturbed."

Kou Ji handed the baggage in his hand to Erbao and looked at Kou Zhong and said, "Where is grandfather, you can just take me over. Grandfather is disturbed by the inconvenience, I can wait!"

Seeing Kou Ji's tough attitude, Kou Zhong couldn't stop him anymore.

He winked at Su Huiniang.

A smile immediately appeared on Su Huiniang's face, and she waved to Erbao, "Little young master is going to see the master, you can go to the wing with me and settle down first."

Er Bao decisively shook his head, and said in a naive way: "I want to follow the young master."

Su Huiniang was stunned and looked at Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong's gaze fell on Kou Ji, took a close look at Kou Ji, and bowed forward.

"Come with me!"

Kou Zhong led Kou Ji and walked a few steps to the front of the main hall.

The main hall door is open, and you can faintly see the paintings and calligraphy inside, as well as the smoky smoke, but no people are visible.

"Just stand here. When the master and uncle have finished talking about the business, he will naturally invite you in."

Kou Zhong bowed and said, winking at Su Huiniang, and the two left here.

Kou Ji led Erbao and stood at the entrance of the main hall.

Kou Zhong left the front yard and asked Su Huiniang to open a small door on the side of the corridor.

He got in and appeared in the middle courtyard.

The middle courtyard is far more luxurious than the front courtyard.

Rockery, pavilion, lake, swimming fish, trees, flowers and plants, everything.

In the pavilion.

An old and one middle school, sitting cross-legged on a thick blanket, was making tea and chatting.

The old, about 60, with white beard and hair, thin and weak, wearing a silk brocade gown, tapping their knees with their fingers.

The middle-aged man was about forty years old, with white hair in his hair. He was rich, sitting cross-legged on a blanket, with an oval belly faintly drawn out of his belly.

He is holding a small roller, crushing the cardamom, salt, spices, and tea balls in front of him into powder.

After Kou Zhong got to the pavilion, he did not enter the pavilion, but stood outside the pavilion, respectfully saluting.

"Master, uncle, and young master are here, waiting at the entrance of the main hall..."

"Little Master?"

Both Kou Zhun and Wang Shu were taken aback.

Wang Shu stopped and said suspiciously, "Yuan'er is here? Shouldn't he study in Taixue at this hour?"
