happy rebirth

Ke Qi wrote two letters in total, one to his uncle Liu Gu and the other to Ke You.

Write a letter to Liu Gu, of course Ke Qi is not really asking his uncle to add two bones to Ah Huang, but he wants to ask the attendants of Caoyuan to go to Luoquan Village to identify the door, so that if Ke Qi encounters something , you can contact the uncle's family as soon as possible.The letter to Ke You was to express his gratitude, thanking Ke You for helping him take care of his relatives in the past period of time, and by the way, gently reminding Ke You not to come to the door in person in the future.

It was already two days later when Ke You received the letter.In the letter, Ke Qi first greeted his aunt Song, half politely and half sincerely asked Song to take care of his health, and also thanked Ke You as a brother for his filial piety by his mother's side.In short, Ke Qi has no mistakes in etiquette.

Clutching the letter paper, Ke You didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran to Song's yard disheveled.

"Mother! Mother! Xiaojiu's letter!" Ke You said out of breath.Ke Qi ranked ninth in the Ke family.

Song put down the account book in her hand, and said: "Don't worry, talk slowly. How is he now? Who sent the letter? Is it from Qingyanghoufu, or someone else? That person is now Is it still there? Did you ask the people below to treat him carefully?" It is a servant, as long as it is from the Qingyang Hou Mansion, the Ke family can't neglect it.Of course, the Ke family doesn't have to be too flattering, so there's no need for the masters to accompany the guests in person.

"Does it need to be said? I have grown up now. The man was about to say goodbye when he delivered the letter, but I deliberately stayed with him. I asked him to serve tea and snacks, and only said that I would reply to the letter immediately." , so I can ask him to help me take it back to Xiaojiu." Ke You felt that his actions were worthy of praise.

Song's brows couldn't hide the tiredness, but in front of her beloved young son, she tried her best to suppress the sorrow in her heart, and said: "Then go and reply quickly, don't make people wait too long. You can give him There is no need to add extra money to award a reward. What is the rule of our family on weekdays, and what rule you still follow when awarding that person." Too many Ke families can't afford it, and what they want to maintain is only a well-known polite.

Ke You had things in his heart, so he was not in a hurry to reply.He managed to catch his breath, and waved his hand to tell the big servant girl who was waiting in the room to go down, and then he leaned in front of Mrs. Song and said coyly: "Mother, Xiao Jiu has already written to us on his own initiative, so we are It's not possible..."

Song's face darkened all of a sudden: "No!"

Ke You dragged his voice, and said: "Mother... When I saw Xiao Jiu last time, he said that his life was not bad. This time, there is no need for Xiao Jiu to do anything, even if he is just a small manager. Come here? With the face of the Hou Mansion, many things may not be called things."

Mrs. Song stretched out her index finger and poked Ke You hard on the forehead: "You still say you have grown up! I see you are getting more and more confused!"

Ke You looked at Song Shi unconvinced.

When Song was pregnant with Ke You, she was considered an advanced maternal age in this era.At that time, Mr. Ke had already exposed his greedy and ungrateful nature, pulling all kinds of smelly and smelly things into his room.Ke You was only a little older than Ke Qi, but Ke You was ranked fourth, and Ke Qi was ranked ninth, and there were several sons and daughters among them!At that time, Mrs. Song was so busy that Ke You was not as healthy as his brothers and sisters when he was born.

For Ke You, the youngest son, the Song family must have doted on him, and was always reluctant to let him suffer, and also reluctant to let him experience the ugliness of human nature prematurely.As a result, Ke You's character is quite straightforward.He always expresses his preferences generously, without any small thoughts.

Song sighed, and said: "Xiao Jiu has been sensible since she was a child. If you were Xiao Jiu, even if your life was not very good, would you still say bluntly that you are not doing well? Even if he said it, then What can be changed? You can't break free from the nobleman's mansion smoothly, can you?"

"Oh, my mother and I can't tell. Xiao Jiu is really doing well. I see that the stewards in the mansion are very respectful to him." Ke You said.

"This is what Mother is going to tell you next." Mrs. Song taught Ke You patiently little by little, "Even if he is really doing well, have you ever thought that he doesn't have any ceremonial guards in the Hou's mansion?" Why is he able to live well? It is nothing more than because he has self-knowledge and keeps himself in front of nobles. However, if you bother him with the affairs of our mansion and ask him to help us in the name of the Marquis Mansion, this is in The nobles seem to be restless. Then what will happen to him in the future? Mother knows that you have a good relationship with him, so are you willing to embarrass him?"

Ke You felt that the Qingyang Hou Mansion was really heartless: "Then Xiao Jiu saved Fourth Master Xie's life! How dare they treat Xiao Jiu badly?"

Mrs. Song deliberately ignored this question, and said: "There is one more thing, we have separated from Xiaojiu now. You usually like to play with him, and I will not stop you. But, if he If you get any benefits, don't always think about getting rich. To put it bluntly, if your dead father wanted to use you to celebrate, I would try my best to stop it. But If it was Xiao Jiu, even if I felt sorry for him at that time, it was just like that. He earned his own life, and we have to earn our own."

So what if the Qingyang Hou Mansion is really a kind family?That was just Ke Qi's own luck.

Because, if Ke Qi's current life is worse than death, Song knows very well that he can't help Ke Qi.

Since it can't help, why bother to get dirty.

Ke You felt extremely frustrated.

He suddenly remembered something from his childhood. In fact, when Ke Qi first came to Ke You, Ke You was not nice to Ke Qi, and even teased Ke Qi several times.Ever since he was a child, he was used to seeing his father scolding his mother for the common house and concubines, and Ke You hated the concubine brothers and sisters in his heart.However, at that time, Mrs. Song had seen that Ke Qi's nature was not bad, and privately told Ke You to treat Ke Qi kindly, and Ke Qi also conquered Ke You with his own performance.

He gradually separated Ke Qi from the other concubine brothers.

Thinking about it now, Ke You was able to accept Ke Qi at first, but it was only because of Ke Qi's "keeping his own place".

This brotherhood is actually not so pure.

"Mom, I understand." Ke You said sullenly.

Song was afraid of speaking too seriously, but her son couldn't do without teaching, so she softened her voice and continued: "Let's talk about the idea you just came up with... Even if Xiao Jiu can really order the stewards of the Hou's mansion to act He handles things, but who does the steward listen to in the final analysis? If you send Dong'er by my side to run errands for you, Dong'er will definitely tell me what happened afterward, this is the rule, and it is also decency."

Ke You promised: "Mom, I won't make trouble for Xiao Jiu. I won't tell him anything."

"That's right...don't worry too much about it. Our family's affairs are not a big deal. In the final analysis, it's just a few slaves who betrayed the master. Even if they have guards of honor now, we can't deal with them. Then It's just a little loss in money." Song patted Ke You on the shoulder, "As a man, you have to broaden your horizons and mind. It's nothing to suffer. Those who betray the master will be punished sooner or later."

Probably because her husband was too disappointing, Song always hoped that her sons would grow up to be indomitable men.She doesn't think she is a good person, and there are always times when her methods are dirty, but she hopes that the children can maintain a sincere heart under her protection.

Ke You nodded solemnly: "Mom, then I'll write back."

Song smiled and helped Ke You straighten his collar.

Ke Qi didn't know how the Song family worked so hard to teach Ke You.When Ke Qi received Ke You's reply, the letter only said that everything was fine.Ke You also talked about some interesting things that he didn't know where he heard.Ke Qi didn't doubt Ke You's words. After all, the Song family still retains the imperial order, and Ke You's three direct brothers have already achieved fame.

In the capital, the Ke family is too inconspicuous.Because of their inconspicuousness, people at the lower level dare not offend them, and people at the upper level do not notice them.

Ke Qi has been busy studying and learning, and spends his free time studying nail clippers.There are many Zhuangzi in the Xie Mansion, some of which have artisans.The entire family of these craftsmen signed a contract of sale with the Xie Mansion, serving the Xie Mansion for generations, they are the most loyal, and their craftsmanship is also excellent.When Ke Qi finished the drawings, Xie Jinhua directly asked someone to send the drawings to Zhuangzi, and it might not take long to see the finished nail clippers.

While waiting for the nail clippers, Ke Qi made a simple cat teaser for Xie Jinhua.

Ke Qi himself is afraid of cats, so this cat teaser is made... very safe.The general cat teasing stick is a slender stick with a few feathers on the front, and then a bell is hung on it.However, Ke Qi felt that this was not safe.What if the cat jumps when teasing the cat?Wouldn't it be scratched by it?You must know that the cat's jumping ability is amazing!Ke Qi decided to eliminate all dangers in the cradle.

Ke Qi handed the prepared cat teaser to Xie Jinhua.

"This is..." Xie Jinhua stared at the cat teasing stick in his hand, thinking about something.

"It's for you to play." Ke Qi found an excuse in his heart to leave, he was afraid that Xie Jinhua would drag him to pet the cat when he was happy.

"I do not need this.

"I'm going to endorse." Ke Qi interrupted Xie Jinhua and left in a hurry.He felt as if he had nothing to say.Forget it, it shouldn't be anything important.Survival is the top priority.Ke Qi's steps were fast, and he absolutely did not give Xie Jinhua any chance to stay.

Xie Jinhua stared bitterly at the things in his hand.

This cat teasing stick is composed of a thin wooden stick, a thread and a ball of chicken feathers.

Xie Jinhua is holding one end of the wooden stick, while a thread hangs from the other end of the wooden stick, with chicken feathers and bells tied on the thread.When Xie Jinhua was holding the wooden stick, the ball of chicken feathers fell to his feet.Isn't this the idea that the third brother gave him?Did Ke Qi want him to play shuttlecock like this?

That's right, Xie Jinhua took the ball of chicken feathers on the cat teasing stick as a shuttlecock.

Although the shuttlecock is a bit light, even with the bell, the foot feel is not very good.But it does look like a shuttlecock!

--------

"He must have seen my clumsy kick when I kicked the shuttlecock..."

"He saw it..."

"There is no image at all..."

"It's better to break the jar..."

Xie Jinhua held the cat teaser stick as if holding a lantern, and then kicked the chicken feather dumpling expressionlessly.
