great mandate

"Continue to eat yours." Shen Wuji said.

Xifeng continued to eat, but he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know the taste under his tongue.

Shen Wuji didn't look at him, but looked at the full moon in the sky outside the door, and sighed: "People in the world know that I am crazy about gold and jade, but they only say that I am like this because of his appearance or knowledge. If you hold power, what kind of beauties do you want? Men and women, old and young, dead and alive, is it not a matter of one word? Let’s talk about knowledgeable people. But the number one scholar comes out every three years, not to say he is better than him, but he is not much worse than him. Don't look at the justice and awe-inspiring words of each of them, as if they dislike our family. If you use them with good intentions, you will come to flatter our family one after another. Because of this, these people are never in our eyes, let alone in our hearts. Only Jinyu is like the bright moon in the sky. The whole body is full of arrogance and integrity, and the cleanest heart is the reason why our family is so obsessed and willing to be convinced by it."

Xi Feng hesitated again and again, held the bowl, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "But now we are a family... If it is an outsider, it's fine, why should he still treat his family with such aloofness? Especially to you. Your devotion to him can be learned from the sun and the moon. You have spent so much time and energy for him, and you have been so kind to him... Not to mention being kind, even if you sincerely treat you as your husband’s family, you have never done anything I'm sorry about him, but who else is like this?"

This is where West Wind's knot lies.

In the past, if Luo Jinyu did this to outsiders, he would applaud him, but if he did this to "insiders", he felt incomprehensible, a little angry, and even vaguely afraid-he was so ruthless and cold to his godfather, how could he treat others like that? no more...

In Xifeng's eyes, this doesn't look like a "person", but like a cold, sharp weapon that no relatives recognize.

It is neither human, so nature and the human instinct of love and exclusion of others are repulsed.

"Being arrogant to outsiders, but indulge your own family members, is this called nobleness?" Shen Wuji asked himself and answered, "This is called fishing for fame, and it is called sanctimonious."

"But..." Xifeng was eager to argue, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

"I don't know how to say it?" Shen Wuji chuckled, "It's right if you don't know, it means that you are still saved. But it also means that you are stupid, you have been with our family for so many years, and you still don't know how to throw away your conscience and open your eyes to talk nonsense. "

West Wind: "..."

"People often say 'protect weaknesses' and 'protect weaknesses'. If there are innocuous weaknesses, they will be protected if they are protected. If they are real weaknesses, they will protect them indiscriminately. They will not be moral and fair, and they will not argue right and wrong. , It’s just unbearable vulgarity.” Shen Wuji sighed, “You are vulgar, our family is vulgar, everyone in the world is vulgar, and there are few people who are not vulgar, so they are not vulgar. Your godmother is not a vulgar.”

"But if that's the case," Xifeng wondered, "then why marry him?"

Although he was clever, but after all he was young, he couldn't speak clearly for a while.To put it clearly, he also has the idea of ​​"family". Like the vast majority of people, he thinks that "family" should hold tightly together, form common interests, and protect common interests.

Hearing this, Shen Wuji was about to answer when he suddenly choked, thought of something, touched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, coughed lightly, and said in disgust: "Hey, I'm still a child after all, so I can't tell you more details."

West Wind: "..."

Although he is not very old, he is not a child of an ordinary family. He has been in the palace since he was a child, and the palace is the place where all the dirt in the world is stored. How can he be innocent and ignorant as a powerless eunuch? If that's the case, he will die eight hundred times.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he guessed what his godfather was referring to, and couldn't help being speechless for a while.

Godfather is good everywhere, but... well, just... just a little... alas... it's hard to describe.It was a very normal thing, but he said it in such a pretentious manner, but it made people feel that something was wrong.

Shen Wuji coughed twice again, put on a serious face, and reprimanded: "You are still young, don't think about things."

"..."

I don’t know who it is. I used to say that I’m so old and I’m not good here. I’m not sensible there. Others’ sons are thrown out of the house to fend for themselves at my age, or they are going to ask for a wife. How small do you think you are...

Hey!Worth mentioning.

This godfather always repeats like this, and it's not the first time I've seen him.

However, in this way, the atmosphere between the father and son became more and more relaxed, and Xifeng became less tense.

Shen Wuji looked at him for a long time, and said calmly: "If you want to marry or marry in the future, not because you simply love that person, but because you want him to protect you, then you are too pitiful."

West Wind: "..."

"Ordinary men always marry to have children, manage the family business, or covet the power and wealth of the in-law's family, while women seek to rely on themselves. After all, they are useless." Shen Wuji stood up, lightly brushed off his sleeves, Looking down at him, he asked, "Is our family so incompetent and mediocre?"

Xifeng hesitated for a moment, took the bowl, followed him to stand up, and asked, "What's your godfather's plan in the future?"

"Where did you fall, and where did you get up." Shen Wuji chuckled, "Our family didn't scold you wrong during the day. You have only enjoyed a few years of blessings? You have been raised and disabled. Now our family is completely Come out, you are not dead or disabled, you look like the sky is falling. What's the matter, is your life worse now than before?"

Xifeng said embarrassingly: "Godfather is right. It's just that there are too many good days. At first glance, my son is really uneasy and scared."

"What's so scary? Those who are afraid are worthless."

Shen Wuji said, "When our family was your age, every day we didn't know if we would have the life to see the sun tomorrow morning, and we still ate, drank, slept, and what to do. If we want to live today, we should eat today's meal. Is it possible that we know that we are going to die tomorrow?" If you are going to die in a month, you simply don’t eat it this month, you simply don’t live until next month, and you just scare yourself to death today? Are you stupid?”

West Wind: "..."

"Okay, let's go wash up and rest. I will go out with me tomorrow to buy some things. I have lived here, no matter how long it lasts. I still have a home. I don't need more braziers, but the door The paint has to be completed, the window paper has to be replaced, and the lamp oil has been smoked for many years..." Shen Wuji frowned critically, "Luo Jinyu is not good at living, you still follow him to learn this."

"..." Xifeng felt aggrieved, and muttered in a low voice, "My son said it, but the godmother said that the family doesn't have that much money, so save as much as you can, and it's not something you have to spend. We'll talk about it when we have more money in the future."

"Wait until he has spare money?" Shen Wuji sneered, "Then just wait, until God sees how pitiful you are, and will be merciful and give you some money."

West Wind: "..."

"Don't worry about money matters, our family has plenty of solutions, just don't tell him." Shen Wuji said, "Anyway, go out with our family to get things."

Xifeng hesitated and said: "What can you do? My godmother said in advance that you might try to get money in random ways, so that my son will take good care of you and not let you mess around."

Luo Jinyu simply thought that this was not good, if so, Xifeng would not mention it, but after thinking about it, Xifeng was also afraid that his godfather's current situation would easily give others trouble, so he and Luo Jinyu "got the same goal by different routes".

"Tsk, you've been following our house, why don't you go to the East Factory to find a good job? Huh, anyway, you'll know when the time comes, and you won't mess around." Shen Wuji said impatiently, "It's getting late, rest Bar."

With that said, he walked out of the firewood room and walked towards the room where he and Luo Jinyu lived.

After not walking many steps, Shen Wuji stopped again, watching his godson follow him step by step: "You don't need to wait on me, go and rest."

Xifeng said in a low voice: "The son wants to admit his mistake to the godmother."

Shen Wuji laughed: "You can figure it out. Then come."

Luo Jinyu was writing in the room, when she heard the voice, she turned her head to look, and was not surprised to see Xifeng coming in with Shen Wuji.

He knew that Shen Wuji's mouth was hard and his heart was soft, and he yelled that no one should speak good words for Xifeng, but he pretended not to notice when he saw that he had left extra food for Xifeng. .

It's just that Luo Jinyu didn't expect that Xifeng came in and knelt down in front of him.

He quickly put down the book and helped him: "It doesn't have to be like this."

"Father, my son is wrong..."

Xifeng confessed his mistake to him with sobs.

After hearing this, Luo Jinyu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, why should you be so serious." He then comforted, "You are close to your godfather and treat him like a father. It is human nature to care and love him, and you didn't do anything Don't worry too much about what you shouldn't do."

Shen Wuji watched their father's kindness and son's filial piety for a while, and finally the silly boy Xifeng realized that it was late, so he quit and closed the door.

Shen Wuji snorted: "It's gone, I thought you two were going to talk till dawn."

"Do you also eat the taste of being your own son?" Luo Jinyu smiled, "He is young, and he is obviously doing it for your own good, but you have told me about it, so naturally you have to persuade him to save him from getting confused."

"Aren't you young? Not too young, if you put it in someone else's house, you should be thrown out of the house at this age to stand on your own." Shen Wuji said.

Luo Jinyu shook her head with a smile, sat back, picked up a pen, and said, "There is hot water in the stove in the kitchen, you can rest after washing."

Shen Wuji walked over and complained: "I haven't hugged you for so long, you don't miss me, you don't sleep with our family in the middle of the night, what are you writing..."

As he said, he poked his head from behind Luo Jinyu to look at it. After seeing it, he was stunned, and grabbed Luo Jinyu's hand, "Wait, what did you write?"

Luo Jinyu turned her head to look at him, and said calmly: "According to the "Marriage Law" of my dynasty, if one of the husband and wife sues the other, he should be slapped twenty times in front of the hall. But the punishment cannot be a doctor. If the party is an official in the court, then it will be changed Rod punishment is demotion. Although I never sued you, but I tried you and sentenced you, I should take the initiative to send a letter to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inquire about this matter."

Luo Jinyu said with a complicated expression, "From my investigation in the Metropolitan Procuratorate some time ago, many of them are very unfamiliar with the various laws of this court, and probably won't remember this one."

He was worried, "I went to the Shushen to participate in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but I have not done anything so far. It is still a long way to go to abolish the shadowy post and select truly capable people."

"...You should just forget about it." Shen Wuji was helpless, his head hurting a lot, "No matter how you look at it, this piece of nonsense was added by some bastard. Our family feels shameless looking at it, so you take it seriously."

What kind of nerd is this? !

Luo Jinyu said seriously: "Forget it. This article in the "Marriage Law" is unreasonable, and I will submit another notice to ask for it to be invalidated. However, one thing is another thing. I really can't stand the arrogance and ignorance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I This letter, on the one hand, seeks justice and does not rely on selfishness, and on the other hand, it is also to satirize them. As the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they still need me to send a letter to inquire about breaking the law. They should be extremely ashamed!"

"..." Shen Wuji held his forehead helplessly, "Come on, you're still 'extremely ashamed', in my opinion, they have to suspect something wrong with you first..."
