Cui Xie just came back from Sinology, and his family gave him such a big surprise, his face turned green, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Cui Liangdong shook his legs and almost knelt down for him. He lowered his head and told all about the scene in the daytime, only hiding the few words that Cui Heng scolded him and didn't say: "I don't check it for a while. , who would have known that Xiao Haijing, who was not a wicked animal, would do such a thing in order to curry favor with his second brother. He made a fuss outside, and asked the servant to see it..."
No matter how much he complained, he didn't dare to take Cui Heng along while he was speaking, so he had to take half of the blame himself.
Cui Xie sneered and asked, "Brother Heng went to see his grandparents?"
Cui Liangdong wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Not yet. I saw that my second brother was not in good spirits. I was afraid that he would be haunted by the Yansheng Faer in the south. When he came back, he asked people to ask for water, incense ash, cockscomb blood and Hei Dog Xue helped him collect his soul, and he fell asleep when he was overwhelmed. The old lady said she wanted to see the second brother, but when I was young, I only said that the second brother was eating outside, and I was too tired on the road, so I went to bed first."
It’s okay not to ask him to see his grandparents, but he has to be controlled so that he can speak human words, and don’t be angry with the old man.
Cui Xie rubbed his brows, thinking about how to keep Cui Heng under control—it's okay to cause trouble when he first entered the capital, it can also be said that his biological mother taught evil thoughts when he was exiled, and it will be his responsibility when he returns home. If he goes out and causes something like that in the future, he, the parent, will also be jointly and severally responsible.
Lock up Cui Heng first and deal with others.
Cui Xie raised his head and looked at Cui Liangdong, and asked, "Xiao Haijing said that his deed is in the hands of the second brother, not from our family? Do you want to go to Xu's house with the second brother?"
After speaking, without waiting for him to answer, he arranged: "Since we don't want to be part of the Cui family, we don't want it. We don't need to disturb the Xu family. Pack up for him, ask where there is a caravan fleet going to Fujian, and send him to him. Go to serve Xu Niangzi. You are also guilty of ignorance, and you will be deducted for three months' monthly payment. You can go back and reflect on what happened today, think about what went wrong and what to do, and submit an examination of more than 5,000 words tomorrow. give me."
But Cui Liangdong was satisfied that he could keep his position as a steward. He was relieved, and then he had time to worry about other things: "If you can't find a boat to Fujian for a while, why don't you send someone to send him?"
Cui Xie said lightly: "You just need to look for it slowly. If you really can't find it, wait until the next year, when Ju Anzhai goes to Masha to buy the book edition, and then send him to Zhuangzi. During these days, he will be sent to Zhuangzi for work. Live, change his lazy temperament, otherwise, even if he arrives at the frontier army, it will be difficult for him to collapse and serve Xu Niangzi."
This little Haijing was sent out from a distance, but the driver, Sun Yue, was a decisive person and could be reused.
He asked Cui Liangdong to promote the coachman to be a little steward in Cui Heng's yard, and replace him with a sensible and energetic little servant to serve Cui Heng personally.
However, he asked him to pour such a pot of cold water from his family, knowing that he had no support, and he would not be able to go crazy for a while.
At dinner, the old lady mentioned Cui Heng again, and Cui Xie comforted the second old man: "Second brother was pampered in our family since he was a child. Although he did not suffer greatly when he went out, it would definitely be better to eat and live at home, and he was sad when he left his biological mother. Let's cry. Not to mention that the two of you are not in good health, he is also empty now, and he is really sad. I am afraid that not crying will damage his lungs and sit down. If you grow stronger, you will be able to withstand great sadness and joy."
Although the old lady misses this grandson, it makes sense to hear what Cui Xie said, not to mention that when she thinks of his mother Xu Shi, she has another breath in her chest, sighing: "Forget it, let him rest first, he After suffering, I have to make trouble for a few days when I come back. I can't make trouble with him, so I simply avoid him for a few days and talk about it when he calms down."
Cui Xie said with a smile: "Grandma don't have to worry. I think Brother Heng is about the same age as me when I went back to my hometown, and I have suffered all the way. Maybe he will be enlightened like me, and will love to study from now on?"
The old lady shook her head and smiled bitterly: "If he can change his temper, then I really want to recite Amitabha Buddha. I'm afraid that he will follow his mother's lonely and leftist nature, and he will drag you down in the future..."
Cui Xie comforted the two old people a few words. After dinner, I heard that Cui Heng was awake, so he ordered someone to put a pot of lukewarm porridge, picked up a few dried bamboo shoots, dried melons, vegetarian chicken rolls, kohlrabi and other light dishes, accompanied by the porridge and sent them over. I followed him to see him.
At this time, Cui Heng had changed into his usual clothes, which were still the spring clothes he put on when he left, and they were also clipped, not shabby. But he was obviously dissatisfied. Seeing that Cui Xie brought someone to bring food in, he first took a close look at the new jacket on him, and smiled gloomily: "It seems that you are shaking in this house, wearing new clothes. Did you show off your clothes here? Junyu, who has never seen the world, did my mother eat less food or wear less clothes when she was at home, and you bullied the young master like this once you became the family?"
"Military surplus" refers to people from military households who have not become soldiers, and their status is lower than that of ordinary people. In today's era of emphasizing literature over martial arts, it would be a vicious insult to scold a supervisor who was a serious scholar.
It was the newly promoted coachman who came into the house with the food. He felt that he had blocked the mouth of the second son during the day, and he was appreciated by the eldest son, so he would go up and do it again.
However, Cui Xie raised his hand to stop it, and nodded towards the table: "You put the food down, then go out first, I have something to say to your second brother."
He poured the porridge into the bowl with his own hands, pushed it towards Cui Heng, and said, "I thought you should be sensible when you go out, but you still don't understand? The elder brother uttered obscenity and made outsiders listen to it, and it is your own reputation and future that will be damaged..."
Cui Heng stared at him faintly: "What future do I have? You have already entered the Imperial College Prison, and you have stolen my future. What future can I have!"
He suddenly burst out, grabbed the bowl and wanted to throw it at Cui Xie. But he didn't want Cui Xie to sit like he was completely defenseless, but he reacted faster than he could. He grabbed the porridge bowl in his hand and threw it on the table, grabbed his neck and pushed him to the ground, one foot. Step on his back.
His strength was developed by practicing spears and swords, and it was incomparable to the strength that Cui Heng used to grow from his muscles during his exile.
Cui Heng told him to press his limbs horizontally, and he couldn't turn over, so he could only shout in a hoarse voice: "Your skin really can't be covered, it's going to kill me! You military seed, you nuisance, not you. When I come back, my parents and my family are fine..."
Cui Xie sneered, ripped off his belt, and said slowly, "No one can hear you shouting here, so save your energy and wait until I finish teaching you to study."
Cui Heng struggled desperately and shouted, but there was only a newly-appointed steward Sun staring at him. He wished he could come in and beat him up for Cui Xie to show his loyalty. Who else could save him
After struggling for a long time, he couldn't turn over, so he could only let Cui Xie rip off the waist of his trousers, revealing a thin and dirty ass. Cui Xie wanted to beat him and thought he was dirty, so he twisted his belt into strands and slammed it down according to the buttocks.
Naturally, there is no pain with the whip when the ribbon is drawn, and there is no fear of hurting people with a heavy hand. But Cui Heng has been favored at home for many years, and even when he goes out with Jin Yiwei, he gets two kicks at most. He didn't pull off his pants and beat him. He cried so hard that he couldn't wait to scold Cui Xie and his ancestors for eight generations.
Cui Xie took off a handkerchief from his waist to block his mouth, and said while beating, "I originally wanted to reason with you, but you are not obedient. But even if you are not obedient, I have to explain why I beat you. Now, I can't ask you to go out and talk nonsense to the family:
"First, it's not because of me that our family is not good, but because your biological mother, Mrs. Xu, framed the court officials. This is a major case that shocked the emperor. She deserved it. If I go in, I will not occupy the quota of grace, but my father, as a Qingliu, will not send a person who is full of foul language and does not know the laws of the state into the national school. The younger brother's insults to the first-born brother, I teach you the righteous reason."
He snorted and scolded, and when he saw Cui Heng crying, he didn't look like he was about to scold, he stopped and said, "Did you hear what I said? I'll say it again, just click when you hear it clearly. Head, let me open your mouth, you repeat it to me, if you can't remember, I will say it more times."
Before he said anything, Cui Heng nodded desperately. He took out the roll of handkerchief and threw it aside, and asked, "Do you understand the three points I just talked about, and repeat it to me."
Cui Heng's mouth was free, and he opened his mouth to scold him again.
Cui Xie twitched again without saying a word, and sneered: "If you don't take advantage of the opportunity, it's because you don't get beaten up enough. Then I'll tell you again, write it down when I'm going to let you up again. Write it down for me again, if there is something wrong, don't sleep tonight, copy a word a thousand times!"
Cui Heng wanted to be tough with him to the end, but after all, that ass couldn't stand it, and asked him to step on the ground again, his whole body was freezing cold, and he couldn't scold anyone, so he cried and cried and begged for mercy.
As soon as Cui Xie mentioned his collar, he picked it up, pressed it on the chair and said, "Eat first or write first?"
Cui Heng sat down suddenly, his butt was on fire, wishing he could jump up, but he couldn't resist his strength, so he could only eat porridge with tears silently.
The porridge is already cold, but fortunately, he has eaten all kinds of hardships outside. That little master and son's hypocrisy is nothing in the face of hunger, cold and beatings, and he has eaten everything.
Seeing that he had finished eating, Cui Xie threw the rag to him, told him to clean up the piece in front of him, and pushed over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone found in his room: "Write down what I just said, and make a mistake. You will be fined a thousand times for copying, if you can’t finish copying it, don’t sleep tonight, I’ll be watching you write right here.”
Cui Heng ate some cold porridge and pickles, and some were about to be stabbed. Cui Xie's kick of the chair made his butt hurt, and he knew what was wrong.
He was beaten all night, and Cui Xie felt his arms were sore when he was smoking, let alone being beaten? The pain in his butt, the fear of no one to help him, and the helplessness that he couldn't struggle when he was stepped on by one foot completely destroyed the fierceness that he was holding back when he came home.
Can't beat, can't fight...
Cui Heng closed his eyes and resigned himself to the pain: "I write! I write! I just... I just ate and ate for a long time, and what I remembered is a little vague. I'm afraid I'm wrong."
Cui Xie smiled with satisfaction and said generously: "Forget it, who told me to be the eldest brother, and let the junior? You don't have to write so accurately, just repeat it in your own tone, but the words need to be Write neatly and do not make mistakes, otherwise you will be fined a thousand times for the wrong word."
He took the pen and paper over, and Cui Heng shook his hand and wrote a few blank sheets of paper. He finally repeated the three sentences and checked it several times, but he didn't dare to write blank words. Cui Xie read it backwards, printed the page in PDF format in his head, flipped it over to the front and read it again, nodded and said, "It's pretty good, right? Why didn't you write your name? When you were teaching Mr. Don't you write your name?"
Cui Heng had no choice but to write a pen to fill in his name, but the front page was full, so he had to fill in the back. Cui Xie took a look at the paper, opened another box of ink pads, and pressed a private seal of his that had been turned out from the drawer on top.
Cui Heng stood up in shock and asked him, "What do you mean! How do you take my chapter..."
Cui Xie said lightly: "You have written the paperwork and signed your name, so how can you not seal it? I will cover it for you as a big brother, so that your hands will not tremble and you will not be able to seal it clearly."
"In the past, I thought that you were young and ignorant, and I didn't care about you in everything. Now that you already know the sins of yourself and your biological mother, and have written a document of conviction and confession, those who speak rudely and rudely in the future are guilty of knowingly and knowingly. , deliberately despised the laws of the court, and rebelled against human relations."
He folded the piece of paper and stuffed it into his arms, his eyes circled around Cui Heng's face twice, and sneered: "When the time comes, I won't close the door and teach you as a brother, but I will call someone Opened the courtyard door, took the family law, and ripped off your pants in front of the court and beat you hard!"
Cui Heng was trembling all over and shouted, "You, you are deliberately hurting me!"
Cui Xie turned his head and shouted out the window, "Steward Sun, take the family law!"
Guanshi Sun responded, but Cui Heng froze before he left, and hissed, "Don't go! Don't go!" He shouted and remembered that the voice outside was the one who was dragging him back at Xu's door, I'm afraid he heard After he was abandoned by the Xu family, he was afraid and ashamed, and quickly obeyed Cui Xie: "I admit it wrong, big brother, don't ask them to call someone!"
At this moment, steward Sun has brought Cui Liangdong with him. Cui Liangdong said outside the door, "Sir, our family has no family law, so can we bring a bamboo board?"
Cui Heng was so scared that his legs trembled, for fear that he could really hit himself.
Cui Xie called the two of them in, looked at the bamboo in their hands, and smiled slightly: "I won't fight today. You put away the tables and chairs here, and cook a bowl of nourishing and calming medicine for Brother Heng."
Cui Heng, who was behind the table, sighed slightly, but there was a trace of resentment in the eyes behind Cui Xie.
Steward Sun was sharp-eyed, and was about to make a small report immediately, but Cui Xie shook his head at him: "That's all for today, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the children have to be beaten one after another. I brought some of my law books, and I will stare at Brother Heng for the endorsement from tomorrow, and I will not be allowed to leave the house if I can't finish it in one day. You also stare at him and talk for me, and there are such rebellious and crazy words today, wait for me to come back and teach him a lesson ."
Cui Xie walked away and returned to the room to find the "Imperial Rules" and "Daming Law" and hand them over to Director Sun. Then he picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Cui Langzhong, who was far away in Yunnan.
In the letter, Cui Heng was first reported to be safe, and by the way, the three stores in the family had no money in the counters, and the turnover was not efficient, so they had to sell the Nanhuo store to barely support the other two. Finally, at the end of the letter, he asked him if he could bring some salaries back this year to support his grandparents and their minor children.
Anyway, their family, old and weak, women and children, lived a hard life in Beijing, and they pointed to the Senator to send money during the New Year, so they must not be able to send things to Yunnan.
