happy rebirth

As the saying goes, if a man does not change his name, he does not change his surname. At this time, people value their names far more than those of later generations. What happened to Jida that made him feel ashamed of his ancestors, so that he couldn't say his surname calmly?It must have been a big deal, something that would bring disgrace to the family, and something that couldn't be concealed no matter how long it had passed.That is to say, there is still a certain criminal evidence left on Jida.

Jida looks to be over 40, but it may also be because of too much hardship that makes him look older.However, he has a pair of eyes that have never been cloudy, and these eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts.Ke Qi's gaze quickly passed over Jida's forehead, and finally landed on Jida's hand.

Maybe these hands once held Xuancheng pens, and the splashing ink is full of the freehand style of aristocratic family; I don't know parting at the time, but how much worry I have forced to say for a song "Yangguan"!

However, what fell in Ke Qi's eyes at this moment was a pair of weather-beaten hands.

Just like a piece of bark cracked due to excessive lack of water, the skin on Jida's hands is very rough and the joints are swollen, which is no longer aesthetically pleasing.He must have been doing hard physical labor all year round, otherwise his hands could not have become like this.But this person is the teacher Xie Dawei found for Ke Qi.

Therefore, Jida must have a very good background, but there are some unforeseen circumstances, and now he has nothing.Just the decline of his family will not make Jida what he is now. He must be forced to do manual labor, which means he must have been exiled as a prisoner.

Wiping the forehead can cover some things.If someone is tortured by ink, then a certain part of his body will be tattooed and painted with paint, so the word will become a permanent mark.Most of the prisoners had tattoos on their arms, faces, and foreheads, and Ji Da should have been tortured with ink on his forehead.

Ke Qi restrained himself from paying attention to Jida's forehead. He quickly supported Jida's arm, lowered his posture, and said very respectfully: "You are the gentleman invited for me by Brother Xie. I am your student. If I am not talented enough, please take care of me, sir."

Regardless of Jida's background, Ke Qi recognized this teacher without hesitation.

If this was a later age when the legal system was gradually improving, Ke Qi might not respect a prisoner so much, because most of them deserved their crimes, and unjust, false and wrongly decided cases are extremely rare.But in this era when things can implicate the nine clans, many criminals may really be innocent, and it is not possible to classify all criminals into one category.Not to mention anything else, when he first came to the throne today, he killed many loyal ministers of the previous dynasty, and many families were exiled by the whole family.

Since Xie Da invited Ji Da over, it means that Xie Da affirmed Ji Da's character and talent.

Ke Qi didn't think that Xie Da would harm him.Because at this time, Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua are both prosperous and hurt.

Besides, Jida's identity at this time should be legal.At the beginning of last year, the crown prince finally had a son, who was still a legitimate son who came out of the belly of the crown princess.According to Ke Qi's guess, the crown prince's sperm may not have a high survival rate, so after more than ten years of marriage, there was only one sick concubine daughter before.Seeing that the prince finally had a son, the emperor was overjoyed and pardoned the world.Jida should have taken the opportunity to cleanse his identity.

However, political prisoners are generally not within the scope of "amnesty".So, either Jida is not a political prisoner, or he is extraordinarily capable.

Jida's posture was lower than Ke Qi's, and said: "Don't dare. The master has a life, so he should do his best." He seemed to have humility written in every strand of his hair, but his humility and Li Yang they Humility makes a difference.His humility seemed like a tool that could be exploited.

Ke Qi feels that many things don't have to be said all at once, but his sincerity can be revealed slowly, so he arranged a place for Jida first.

Originally, Wencaoyuan had tidied up an exquisite small courtyard for his husband to live in, but Jida said that he wanted to live in a remote and quiet place, and he didn't need someone to take care of him.Seeing that he was very persistent, Ke Qi finally arranged for a servant to help Jida clean up every now and then, but usually there was no one around Jida.As for food and clothing, Ke Qi also tried his best to arrange for Jida.

When Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi talked about Ji Da in private, Ke Qi told all about his discoveries.

Xie Jinhua didn't understand why the elder brother arranged such a person, but he really believed that the elder brother would not harm Ke Qi, so he said: "If he really suffered from exile with tattooed face, maybe his whole family has... now he must be alone It's also embarrassing to be alone. But in other words, he must be the kind of tough-minded person who can persevere until now." If it wasn't for the tattoo on his face, maybe he could change his face and stand out from the crowd.

Ke Qi thought for a while and said, "I will definitely respect him as a teacher, and I hope he is also willing to accept me as an apprentice."

Jida was quiet.After living in Wencaoyuan, he asked for some pens and ink and began to read silently.At the same time, he also gave Ke Qi some propositional essays with no deep intentions, as if he wanted to find out the details of Ke Qi.Most of these propositional compositions are about historical interpretation and official administration.After Ke Qi handed in three assignments, Ji Da gave Ke Qi the first book he had prepared silently, saying that he would ask Ke Qi to read it carefully, and that he would play chess and chat with Ke Qi in three days.

Ke Qi went back to the yard with the book in his arms, saw Xie Jinhua basking in the sun, and recruited Xie Jinhua into the study.

"Let's watch together!" Ke Qi said to Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua turned two pages, suddenly seemed to realize something, and quickly turned back.After roughly flipping through the whole book, he excitedly said to Ke Qi: "This is a 'family book'. Books within the family are usually written by the elders to the younger generations to admonish and remind the younger generations. Collect the letters of the elders into a book." Generally, this kind of book will not be passed on to the outside world, but will only be passed down quietly from generation to generation within the family.

If Ji Da can silently reveal all his family books to Ke Qi, then Ke Qi will receive the education of the eldest son of a big family!

Ke Qi had never heard of such a thing as "family book" before.When Xie Jinhua solemnly stuffed the book back into Ke Qi's arms, Ke Qi still couldn't react.Xie Jinhua said: "In the future, if the master gives you any books, you should not show them to me. This should not be passed on."

"However, if this book is really not for others to read, sir should remind me. He may have agreed that I can share it with you." Ke Qi recalled the scene when he got the book from the teacher, and he was sure The teacher just handed the book to him casually, without any more instructions.

Xie Jinhua saw that Ke Qi didn't know the importance of "family scriptures", so he gave Ke Qi a good science education.

Ke Qi immediately felt the weight of the book in his arms, and said: "Since it cannot be passed on to outsiders, I..." He is not from Jida's family.

"Usually it is passed on to the younger generation in the family, but it is also passed on to the students. The relationship between teachers and students can sometimes be compared to that of father and son. Since the husband values ​​you so much and regards you as his nephew and descendant, you should cherish this friendship Don't let him down." Xie Jinhua took the opportunity to persuade Ke Qi to make progress.

Some key names of people and places appearing in this book have been blurred, and all the characters appearing are replaced by A and B, and the names of places are also treated in the same way.It seems that Jida is really unwilling to reveal his true identity.However, this will not affect Ke Qi's reading at all.

Before the three-day period came, Xie San brought his friends to the grass garden for a banquet.

Xie Er and Xie San got together and came uninvited.

Xie San's group of friends are all extremely favored juniors in their own family, and they are all descendants.Not all descendants of concubine think highly of those of concubine.But no matter what they think in their hearts, for the sake of Xie San's face, they will not deliberately embarrass Xie Er and Xie Si, and this is very good.

On such occasions, Ke Qi generally would not take the initiative to speak out.However, he had already discussed with Xie Jinhua how to say certain words beforehand.Therefore, Xie Jinhua thanked everyone for their care first with tea instead of wine, and finally took out the Hou Rongsha when everyone was almost finished eating.

After hearing Xie Jinhua explain the rules, everyone was eager to try.

These dudes are all good at eating, drinking and having fun. After playing a few games, they started to get started, and the yard became very lively for a while.Seeing this, Ke Qi breathed a sigh of relief, since they liked it, this gift was the right one.He couldn't help looking at Xie Jinhua, and the two smiled at each other in a very tacit understanding.

When everyone was arranged to rest, the three Xie family brothers who rarely got together pulled Ke Qi to sit in the study and chat.

Xie San couldn't help but said: "Hey, since you moved out of the mansion, the husband at home only stares at me, I am so miserable! I really envy you, if only I could move out too." He is actually a happy child , Being nagged by mother, restrained by elder brother, and complaining are all kinds of prosperity.

Ke Qi pointed to a stack of papers on the desk and said, "Third brother, this is my homework for four days."

Xie San took a look and felt that Ke Qi's life was getting worse, so he stopped talking immediately.

Xie Er said to Xie Jinhua: "I saw that the garden is being tidied up by you all in a romantic way. It's really great. In fact, the elder brother also wanted to come to see you. It's just that he was busy with work, and he was beaten by the elders when he was resting last time." The princess called to the princess mansion... Eldest brother has been in a bad mood since then."

"The eldest princess called me?" Xie Jinhua felt strange.The eldest princess has never summoned her elder brother!

Xie Er shook his head and said nothing.He doesn't know much.

Xie San curled his lips, and said, "You can't keep delaying elder brother, right? Eldest brother should have a son at this age." In Xie San's view, even if the eldest princess doesn't want to give birth, she shouldn't stop others from giving birth to his elder brother. have a baby!Even if there is only one bastard son, it will save the eldest brother from being desolate.

Xie San, a dandy, has heard a lot of nonsensical things outside. He guesses that there should be no normal married life between the elder brother and the eldest princess. Maybe the eldest princess just wants to protect the last emperor of the previous dynasty?That being the case, it should be right for the elder brother to have a few more concubines to serve him, right?

In Xie San's view, if the eldest princess and elder brother are deeply in love as husband and wife, but have no children for some reason, then even if the eldest princess stops elder brother from taking a concubine, no one else has anything to say. Discuss the solution by yourself.But what if the eldest princess has never accepted her elder brother?Respect to the princesses of the Tian family, their eldest brother from the Xie family is not like a weed that can be ruined at will!

The reason why Xie San was particularly concerned about when his eldest brother would give birth to his nephew was also because his mother, Mrs. Zhang, was always nagging in his ears.In Zhang's view, if Xie Da never had any biological children, then the entire Pingyang Hou Mansion would definitely fall on Xie San and Xie San's children in the end!As soon as Mrs. Zhang thought about it, she became excited.It's not enough for her to have fun secretly, she also likes to find Xie San to imagine the future together.

Naturally, Xie San couldn't spread what Zhang said, because he knew that his mother was sincere to him.But he also didn't want to listen to Zhang's words that belittled Xie Da to nothing.Therefore, he especially looked forward to his eldest brother having a son.As long as the eldest brother has a son, with Zhang's courage, he will never dare to have any ambitions.In this way, Xie San, who has no ambitions, will be able to keep his ears clean.

"...Anyway, the eldest princess shouldn't stop elder brother from taking a concubine." Xie San said in a low voice.

Xie Jinhua had other thoughts in his mind, but he was the youngest, so it was a little difficult to say.

Xie Er also lowered his voice and spoke for Xie Jinhua: "Third brother is thinking about it, it should be that the elder brother doesn't want to take a concubine, not the eldest princess."

"It shouldn't be!" Xie San still decided to put all the crimes on the eldest princess.His elder brother is so good!

Xie Jinhua agreed with Xie Er's point of view even more.It's not that the eldest princess is blocking it, it should be that Brother Xie is unwilling.Taking concubines is a common thing, and the former concubines also took concubines.The eldest princess almost escaped into Buddhism, and she definitely didn't have Xie Da in her heart.And if a woman has no desire to love a man, how can she be possessive?Therefore, whether Brother Xie takes a concubine or not is completely irrelevant to the eldest princess.

There must be some untold stories in it.
