After Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji discussed the issue of equipping the army with firearms, Kou Ji did not stay in the palace much, and left the palace with his son and daughter who had just finished class.
Kou Tianci is in the palace, taught by a famous teacher, and has improved his knowledge.
In the little Mengxue set up by Zhao Zhen in the palace, Kou Tianci is one person who has reached the age of studying.
Those gentlemen who were invited by Zhao Zhen to teach the children, only need to carefully teach Kou Tianci alone.
Under their careful guidance, it is normal for Kou Tianci to improve his learning.
Like Zhao Run, Kou Hui, Baoqing, and Shouqing, four dolls who don't understand anything but just know nothing.
Even if the gentlemen smashed the knowledge to them, they would not understand it.
Therefore, the four little guys Zhao Run, Kou Hui, Baoqing, and Shouqing would only play together and not listen to the lectures every time they went to class.
The gentlemen did not sue the four of them.
Because it is not necessary.
It's so unbearable to care about with a few dolls who don't know anything.
After Kou Ji returned to the mansion with his sons and daughters, he handed them over to Xiang Yan, and then rushed to the Privy Council. He was busy with the recruitment of Shaanxi government and the issue of large-scale firearms.
After busying for a few days, Xiang Yan sent someone to the Privy Council and called Kou Ji back.
Kou Ji had to temporarily put aside his official duties and returned to the mansion.
After returning to the mansion, Kou Ji learned that his uncle Wang Shu returned to Beijing with his aunt today.
Kou Ji had to take his wife and children back to the mansion of Kou Mansion, and then went to Wenchang Academy to invite Kou Zhun back to the mansion.
When Kou Ji went to ask Kou Zhun, Kou Zhun was very dissatisfied, "Wang Shu is nothing but an official, and the old man needs to go back to the mansion to wait for him, is he worthy?"
Kou Zhun said something complaining, but he couldn't help but follow Kou Ji to leave the Wenchang Academy and return to the Kou Mansion Mansion.
Kou Ji knew that Kou had not seen his own daughters for a long time, and some of them missed her.
Although he did not teach his daughters and relatives well.
It was also because of Kou Ji that he did not recognize his own daughters.
But blood is thicker than water.
After a few years, he still missed his daughter deep down in his heart.
He didn't reveal it just to take care of Kou Ji's mood.
Now that Kou Ji took the initiative to dispatch Wang Shu to Beijing, so that he could reunite with his daughters, he was naturally happy.
After Kou Ji and Kou Zhun returned to the Kou Mansion, Kou Li was very witty and gave up the main courtyard in the Kou Mansion.
It's just that Kou Ji and Kou Zhun didn't live there.
Kou Ji continued to live back to Sijunyuan.
Kou Guiding found a secluded garden to live in.
If it weren't for Wang Shu's return to Beijing, he would rush to the Kou Mansion to visit.
Kou Ji and Kou Zhun were actually unwilling to return to the Kou Mansion.
I don't know why, when the two of their grandparents were facing Kou Li, the group of Yingying Yanyan, and Kou Li's children, they couldn't give birth to any sense of being close.
Whenever I went back to the mansion and saw Kou Li and the bunch of Yingying Yanyan, and their children, the two of them always felt like outsiders.
It is precisely because of this that neither of them likes to live in the Kou Mansion.
He was not even close to Coley.
Coley also avoided the two of them, unwilling to approach them cheekily.
Both of them thought Coley was an outsider.
Coulee actually felt that the two of them were outsiders.
The reason for this situation is mainly due to the gap in status, status, and xinxing.
In the eyes of Kou Zhun and Kou Ji, it is difficult for people like Kou Li to live long in officialdom.
When you become an official in the local area, you will be smashed to death by everyone.
If you are an official in Bianjing, you will be calculated to die.
Kou Li has been able to hold the post of the minister of ceremonies, purely because of the two of them.
If it weren't for the two of them, the grass at Kou Li's grave would have grown to three feet tall.
In Kou Li's eyes, Kou Zhun is a tiger and Kou Ji is a Jiao.
He is a sheep, it is difficult to speak seriously in front of Kou Zhun and Kou Ji.
Whether it is Kou Zhun or Kou Ji, killing him is no different from killing an ant.
It is difficult for him to be a servant in front of Kou Zhun, and it is difficult for him to maintain the dignity he deserves to be a son.
It is more difficult for him to get along with Kou Ji like an ordinary father and son, and it is also difficult for him to maintain the majesty of a father.
Therefore, he prefers to get along with Kou Zhun and Kou Ji like an outsider, and is unwilling to get close to them.
Kou Zhun and Kou Ji stayed in the Kou Mansion for one night.
The next day.
After getting up.
Kou Zhun rushed to Kou Ji's Sijun Garden and asked Xiang Yan to help him pick some clothes to wear.
When Kou Ji asked Yan to help Kou Zhun choose clothes, he took his servants out of the house, all the way out of Bianjing City, to Yichunwan in the east of Bianjing City.
Yichunwan is one of the four royal gardens in Bianjing.
After Ruisheng Garden was converted into Tiansheng Pavilion, it became one of the three imperial gardens.
It is a garden for royal outing and spring hunting.
Outside the north gate of Yichun Wanzheng, there is the imperial road that runs through the east and west of Bianjing.
Wang Shu resigned from Zhending Mansion, and when he returned to Beijing, this place was a must.
Kou Ji arrived at the entrance of Yichun Wan. Not long after waiting, Wang Shu and his wife appeared in Yichun Wan with a group of servants and maid Haohao in a carriage.
Kou Ji took a rough look, and there were nearly a hundred people.
He has no opinion on this.
This is almost always the case when the ancients traveled long distances.
The higher the status, the more people you bring.
Not to show your identity, but purely to protect yourself.
After all, between the mountains and the wild, there are countless stray bandits.
There are wolves, tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts that block the way.
The ancients hardly knew how to travel far alone. To travel far, they almost always traveled with others.
There are as few as a dozen people and as many as nearly a hundred.
In order to be inferior to the grassy gangsters and jackals, tigers and leopards.
Although Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen sent people several times to eliminate those rash gangsters, the number of soldiers and horses in the local area has also been increased, and the rash gangsters have been greatly reduced.
But there are still dangers in the long journey.
Therefore, it is very common for Wang Shu to take a hundred people with him.
Kou Ji waited until the Wang Shu and his wife's carriage approached before taking the initiative to greet him.
"My nephew Kou Ji, I met my uncle and aunt..."
Kou Ji reached the carriage where the two were riding and bowed to salute.
Wang Shu and his wife hurriedly got out of the carriage and bowed back to Kou Ji.
Having not seen him for many years, Wang Shu is quite old, and so is the Wang Kou clan.
When Wang Shu paid back to Kou Ji, his expression was more sad and bitter.
Seeing that he had become a nephew under one person and over ten thousand people, Wang Shu was full of mixed feelings.
Wang Shu still remembers the appearance of the young man who had just entered Bianjing city in front of him.
Nearly a thousand years later, the young man has short beards, has matured from youthfulness, and has gone from a white body to a level below one person and above ten thousand people.
When he salutes himself, he is still respectful.
It's just that Wang Shu can no longer preach to him as an elder.
As a public servant.
Wang Shu is very clear about what is implied in the identity and status gap.
Wang Shu couldn't rely on the old to sell the old in front of Kou Ji, let alone stand in front of Kou Ji.
Only the folks who have the courage of one's husband, when facing the superior, will rely on the old and sell the old and put on the air.
After finishing the shelf, he also proudly boasted very contentedly.
No matter how high your status is, you still have to bow your head obediently in front of me, a commoner.
Such an act seemed to be overwhelming.
But when you ask for it, you will find it.
How high your shelf is, how low your posture will be when you ask for help.
If you still rely on the old to sell your old and put on the air when you ask for help.
Then you can only ask for blessings.
People with high status and high status, respecting you, that is respecting the elderly.
It's not that you are better than people, you are better than people.
In the final analysis, you are better than people in age, not in other aspects.
You are older than others, and you are in front of others, relying on the old to sell the old, and they let you because of the respect for the old.
But how about your children and grandchildren
Maybe in front of others, he will live like an ant.
It's important for people to know themselves.
Because Wang Shu knew that there was a big gap between him and Kou Ji, he didn't dare to stand in front of Kou Ji.
Kou Ji could throw Wang Shu's son Wang Yuan to Dali to endure hardship in one sentence.
But Wang Shu didn't have the ability to transfer Wang Yuan back to Bianjing to enjoy the blessing.
Now it is the civilian officials who have made mistakes that govern Dali, and they will give Wang Shu a bit of face.
But they only govern Dali, and they do not control Dali's power.
Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng, who control the power of Dali, could not see Kou Ji nodding, and they would not sell him Wang Shu's face.
Even though he has been promoted to the post of Shangshu in the Ministry of Industry.
Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng would not talk to him either.
Because Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng are not only first-class public servants, but also the second and third in command of the Privy Council.
Have an equal status of dialogue with Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai.
Wang Shu has no equal qualifications to talk to them.
And when Kou Ji faced Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng, it was a question of whether Kou Ji was willing to give them face and let them be invited.
It's not that they give Kou Ji face.
If they dare to say something like'I will give you a face' in front of Kou Ji, Kou Ji will dare to slap them with a big mouth.
This is the status gap.
"My nephew personally greeted me, I am ashamed."
After the salute, Wang Shu said with emotion on his face.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The family doesn't say two things. Uncle's words are too polite."
"Kou Ji, since you are a family, can you stay away..."
After Kou Ji's voice landed, Wang Kou couldn't wait to speak.
It was only half of what was said, but Wang Shu stopped it with his eyes.
After many years.
Wang Kou no longer dared to speak loudly in front of Kou Ji, let alone look down on Kou Ji.
Not too late to be confused, relying on his own strength, he became a clerk.
It's not she can offend, nor is she daring to look down on it.
Kou Ji still needed Kou Zhun to come forward to hold her down.
Today's Kou Ji doesn't need Kou Zhun to come forward, and she can easily suppress her breath.
What she cares most about is her father-in-law and son.
Kou Ji can dispatch Wang Shu from Zhending Mansion to Bianjing City in one sentence, and he can also dispatch Wang Shu from Bianjing City to other places in one sentence.
As for Wang Yuan.
Kou Ji can let him stay in Dali for a lifetime.
It's just that the country is easy to change and its nature is hard to change.
Although Wang Kou had clearly recognized the reality, her instinct drove her to lose her sense of measure when she spoke in front of Kou Ji.
But fortunately, Kou Ji would not care about it with her.
After Wang Shu stopped Wang Kou, Kou Ji smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry. In the eyes of others, Dali is a small place in a remote rural area.
But in my eyes, Dali is a treasure land of gold and credit.
There is a kind of Shiheng and Zhu Neng irradiation.
Far brothers will definitely gain something in Dali.
If Yuan's brother can get some credit in Dali, his future may be much smoother. "
Wang Kou had never been to Dali. He just learned from the nearby population that Dali is so savage and fierce. Dali is full of smoky and mosquitoes. It is not a place where people live at all.
So she felt that when Wang Yuan went to Dali, he was going to suffer.
If Dali were a treasured land, the Manchu civilization would have rushed to Dali a long time ago, so how could it ignore Dali
However, she has never been to Dali and doesn't know Dali, but it doesn't mean that Wang Shu doesn't know Dali.
Wang Shu knew that Dali was a treasured land, and he also knew that the newly acquired land was the easiest place to get credit.
The Manchu civil and military forces did not rush to Dali, not because they were unwilling.
But because they dare not.
Controlling the power of Dali is Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng.
They represent the Forbidden Army and the Privy Council.
It also represents Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.
Unless the Manchu civil and martial arts wanted to die, it was impossible to grab benefits from Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.
Wang Kou wanted to speak a few words for Wang Yuan.
Wang Shu was one step ahead.
Wang Shu said to Kou Ji with a sincere expression: "My nephew can think about Yuan'er's career and pave the way for Yuan'er. My uncle should thank you."
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, "I still said that, we are a family, don't talk about two things."
Having said this.
Kou Ji continued: "Let's stop chatting here, go back to the house as soon as possible. Grandfather is still waiting at the house."
Wang Shu hurriedly agreed.
Kou Ji took Wang Shu and his wife into the city of Bianjing, to the mansion of Kou Mansion.
In the mansion of Kou Mansion.
Kou was sitting upright in the main hall.
Kou Li stood on the side respectfully.
In addition, there are Xiang Yan, Kou Tianci, Kou Hui, and Kou Li's children in the main hall.
As for the Yingying Yanyan of Kou Li, they were not qualified to appear in the main hall of Kou Mansion while Kou Zhun was there.
Kou Ji led Wang Shu and his wife into the door of Kou Mansion's mansion and walked into the courtyard.
The eyes were facing each other, and it was red instantly.
Wang Shu and his wife almost ran into the main hall.
When I walked in front of Kou Zhun.
Wang Shu and his wife were already crying.
With tears in his eyes, Kou Zhun whispered: "It's fine to come back, it's fine to come back..."
"My son-in-law failed to perform his filial piety by his side, so he will be punished.
"..."
Kou Zhun stretched out his hand, touched their cheeks, and whispered, "I don't blame you..."
With Kou Zhun's constant comfort, Wang Shu and his wife stopped crying.
The tears in Kou Zhun's eyes also slowly dissipated.
Kou Ji looked at this scene, and felt full of emotion in his heart.
No matter how tough people are, they have a fragile side in their hearts.
It is the first time that Kou Ji knows Kou Zhun and sees tears in Kou Zhun's eyes.
This shows that Kou Zhun is really old.
The heart is not as hard as before.
After comforting Wang Shu and his wife, Kou Zhun pulled them to their feet and started a little talk.
Kou Ji and others stood aside and did not bother.
Have been talking for a long time.
Kou Zhuncai introduced to Wang Shu and his wife the newly added people in the house.
Among them, Kou Tianci was ceremoniously introduced.
The second is Kou Hui.
As for Kou Li's children, Kou Zhun was called under full names, so he simply said that they belonged to Kou Li's family, and it was over.
Kou Tian gave a sweet mouth, and Kou Zhun ceremoniously introduced it.
Therefore, both Wang Shu knew that Kou Tianci was the great-grandson approved by Kou Zhun.
Kou Tianci said "Auntie" on the left and "Auntie" on the right, opening the eyes of Wang Shu and his wife, and constantly stuffing things into their arms.
Not for a while.
Kou Tianci's chest became bulging.
Wang Shu's official position is not enough for Kou Ji.
But locally, that is a proper officer.
So the net worth is very rich.
So what the husband and wife gave to Kou Tianci was nothing unusual.
Kou Tianci undoubtedly made a lot of money.
It's just that Kou Ji pouted a little while watching.
Kou Ji had heard people say that his son was the debt collector of the previous life.
Now it seems that this is true.
Kou Tianci seems to be born with Kou Ji's character.
When he was with Kou Ji, he didn't show any closeness at all.
When you are with other people, it's called a cute.
Everyone likes him inside and outside the palace, inside and outside the palace.
Kou Ji didn't like him.
And Kou Hui.
Because Kou Tianci always robbed Kou Hui's things with Liu Boxu.
The family laughed and chatted for a while.
Then Kou Ji ordered people to serve a table of wine and food, and held a grand family banquet.
Kou Zhun was very happy today, so he drank a bit high.
Finally, he returned to the room with the help of Wang Shu.
When Kou Ji watched the two leave, he smiled indifferently and told Xiang Yan to take care of Wang Kou.
He went back to the study of Sijunyuan by himself.
A family banquet came to an end.
Kou Zhun asked Wang Shu to help him back to the room by naming him, probably because he had something to explain to Wang Shu.
Kou Ji suddenly discovered that Kou Zhun might care more about Wang Shu, his son-in-law, than his own relatives, Queen Kou.
My daughter-in-law is actually inferior to her son-in-law in the hearts of my father.
Kou Ji suddenly felt that Wang Kou was also very pitiful.
No words for a night.
The next day.
After Kou Zhun instructed Wang Shu to go to Wenchang Academy to see him often, he left the Kou Mansion mansion contentedly.
Wang Shu and his wife also took people back to the palace in Bianjing.
Kou Ji returned to his official residence with his wife and children.
The Kou Mansion once again returned to peace.
Once again it became a paradise for the Cole family.
Some days later.
After Wang Shu took office as Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, he invited Kou Ji to visit Wenchang Academy with him from time to time to see Kou Zhun.
Kou Ji did not decline, and often accompanied Wang Shu to Wenchang Academy to accompany Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun was accompanied by his son-in-law and grandson, and the smile on his face increased a lot.
More than a month passed in a flash.
Kou Ji went back to the mansion one day and saw a monk at the gate of the mansion.
It was a thin and weak monk with a miserable face, as if he had been suffering from great suffering all the time.
The monk is not very old, only 30 years old.
Kou Ji got out of the carriage, and without waiting for the door to report, the monk had already appeared in front of Kou Ji's carriage.
"The poor monk see Kou Shimi..."
Kou Ji glanced at the monk up and down, "Buddhist... ascetic monk?"
The monk said with a sorrowful expression: "Kou Shumi has a good eye..."
Kou Ji said unexpectedly: "I thought the Buddhist family would assassinate me."
The monk performed a Buddhist ritual: "My Buddha is merciful... I will never make an assassination..."
Kou Ji sneered and said: "In the previous courtyard of my Kou Mansion, there was a monk who assassinated me."
The monk solemnly shook his head and said, "That juggling monk is not a real monk."
"How can a monk not be considered a monk..."
"The monk is not a monk..."
"Forget it, I don't have time to fight with you. Since your Buddhist family didn't send anyone to assassinate me, you want to negotiate terms with me first?"
Kou Ji waved his hand to interrupt the monk's words, and asked decisively.
The monk slowly shook his head and said: "The imperial court will check all temples in the world, and it is a righteous act to catch all the wild monks and demon monks hidden in the temples.
Why did my Buddhist family send someone to assassinate Priscilla Kou, and why should I negotiate terms with Priscilla Kou in secret? "
Kou Ji said unexpectedly: "Oh?"
The monk stared at Kou Ji and said: "My Buddhist family not only does not assassinate the Privy Council, but also presents gifts."
While talking, the monk took out a long cloth bag from his sleeve and handed it to Kou Ji respectfully.
Kou Ji pondered, took out the handkerchief from his arms and handed it to the entourage beside him.
The follower understood, put a handkerchief on the cloth bag, and took it over.
Seeing this, the monk said frankly: "Since my Buddhist family said that I will not assassinate the Privy Council, I definitely won't do anything here."
Kou Ji said unceremoniously: "That's not true."
The monk pronounced the Buddha's name with a sad expression on his face.
Kou Ji was about to tell his entourage to open the thing, so he listened to the monk to speak again.
"The heavy gift has been delivered, and the poor monk retired."
Kou Ji wants to open his mouth to stay.
The monk has left here quickly.
Kou Ji was puzzled by the meaning of Buddhism and frowned slightly. When he was about to tell his entourage to open the cloth bag and take a look, a gentle voice sounded beside him.
"Pan Dao advises you not to open that cloth bag."
Kou Ji was taken aback, and turned his head slowly, and saw He Xiangu, who had been promoted to the number one fairy of Bianjing in just over a month, and didn't know when he was standing by his side.
Kou Ji looked up and down He Xiangu, and found that He Xiangu was more beautiful, and couldn't help frowning.
"Xiangu is here, I don't know what to order?"
He Xiangu smiled indifferently, "Private Kou secretly said and laughed. The so-called Xiangu is nothing but flattery by the people. The reason why the poor Tao appeared here is because I heard that the bitter Buddhist monk had arrived in front of the Kou Mansion, so I rushed to it. Come and have a look.
Unexpectedly, I watched a big show. "
Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Listen to what you mean, there is something incredible in the cloth bag that the monk gave."
He Xiangu smiled and said nothing.
Kou Ji said solemnly: "You didn't let me open the cloth bag just now. Could it be that there is something poisonous inside?"
He Xiangu smiled and said: "There is no poison in it, but it doesn't matter whether you can open it or not. Pang Dao just thinks that once you open it, you may be disappointed."
"What do you mean?"
"Kou Shu Mi has heard of a rumor from the Buddhist school."
"What rumors?"
"Holding Dharma relics and recite the longevity mantra, you can live three hundred years..."
