Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

There are ancestors and ancestors watching in front of them, the iron coupons of Danshu are pressed on their heads, and the whips around them are whistling.

The patriarchal clan and family law are oppressive, let alone in the ancestral hall.Xu Guanchen was also stubborn, a little pedantic, he couldn't move at this moment, and didn't want to move, if he moved, if he begged for mercy, it would be considered a mistake.

He made up his mind that he would kneel if he wanted to, and he would suffer when he was beaten, and he would just get through this for a while.

Therefore, he didn't speak, just knelt down.

Chai Bo hated iron but said: "In recent years, most of the princes in Jinling City are very masculine. I believe that I still have the Duke's Mansion in my heart, and I won't mess around like them. Who knows, who knows that I will directly... ... get mixed up?"

He cupped his hands, and said to the ancestors of Duke Dingguo's mansion: "My brother has no other elders. Today, in front of the ancestors, this old slave dared to persuade him to correct this problem. If Quan Xia blames him, I will punish him for a hundred years." After that, you should receive your punishment."

Xu Guanchen held up the alchemy book and knelt on the ground, he couldn't move it anymore, and his head was buzzing.With his head down and his thin body, he couldn't support himself, so he swayed.

"Brother, don't be in a hurry." Chai Bo said, "A few days ago I asked Taoist Priest Yuqingzi, and he said that my brother's illness, kneeling for an hour, is not a problem."

The whip lashed the ground violently, kicking up fine dust on the ground, which caught Xu Guanchen's eyes.

Chai Bo asked him again: "Can the fault of the broken sleeve be corrected?"

"I can't change it." Xu Guanchen closed his eyes, his voice was soft but firm, "I don't dare to act rashly in front of my ancestors. Since Uncle Chai felt that I had made a mistake and wanted to correct it, and wanted to beat me up to vent his anger, I'll just bear it." .”

Originally, Chai Bo was holding the whip, and he just whipped it on the ground, not even touching the corner of Xu Guanchen's clothes.

Now that he said this, Uncle Chai said angrily, "Brother just thinks that he did nothing wrong?"

Xu Guanchen pursed the corners of his lips: "I'm not wrong."

——I didn't disregard Dingguo Mansion for my own sake. I made a plan for Dingguo Mansion. There are still ten years left before Dingguo Mansion can regain its stability.

——The relationship with Xiao Zhi is not about luck and humiliation.Don't rely on him to make Dingguo's mansion stand firm, and don't rely on him as an extremely human minister.Just like it.

Xu Guanchen coughed twice, and said hoarsely, "I won't change."

Hearing his words, Uncle Chai was also annoyed, he swung the whip twice on Xu Guanchen's body, which could not hit him anyway, once on his left shoulder, and another on his calf.

There was a tear in the clothes, and two bright red blood stains soon came out.

The sharp pain made Xu Guanchen gasp, his body swayed, his left shoulder slumped halfway, and the alchemy book he held in his hand was also tilted halfway.

His face was pale, and even his lips began to turn pale.Gritting his teeth, he slowed down for a while, then supported himself, and knelt upright.

He could throw away the alchemy book, jump up and scold Chai Bo for not understanding the superiority and inferiority, but he is Xu Guanchen, he won't.

Chai Bo was also sure about this, so he used this trick against him.

Chai Bo lost his temper and whipped him twice with a whip. In fact, he was also worried about his illness, fearing that he would not be able to hold on.

Seeing that half of his body had collapsed, he couldn't help but take back the alchemy and ask him to get up, but then saw him supporting himself again, kneeling upright, stubborn, and he lost all thought of telling him to get up.

When he was about to swing the whip again, the servant outside knocked on the door and said, "Master Chai, the little prince from Duanwang's mansion is here to send you a post, and he wants to see you."

Chai Bo said: "Just tell him that the father-in-law is not in the mansion."

"Little Prince Duan said that he saw the Grandpa's carriage coming back. If the Grandpa is not here, it's okay to meet the people in the carriage that arrived at the house at noon."

"Grandpa isn't here, please come back."

After a while, it was still the same servant who knocked on the door outside: "Master Chai, the young prince led a group of people and said that he had taken a fancy to the two clumps of bamboo trees in front of the gate of the mansion. He insisted on digging them out. , attracted many people to watch in front of the mansion."

Chai Bo was so angry that he swiped his whip and slammed it on the ground: "Understood, I will see you, and I will see you right away."

Uncle Chai put away his whip, took the iron coupon of the Danshu in Xu Guanchen's hand, wrapped it in a red cloth, put it back into the box, and placed it before the confession case.

Xu Guanchen still knelt and did not move, he only thought that Xu Guanchen was angry with him, so he helped him up, then looked at the two wounds on his shoulder and leg, and said: "The little prince Duan, the old slave is going to dismiss him. Grandpa should go back and pack the wound first."

He was numb from the pain at first, but now he put down his hand and pulled the wound, the pain made the corners of Xu Guanchen's eyes soaked with tears.

He touched the wound through his clothes, and moved his arm carefully.Enduring the pain, he naturally bowed to the three ranks of spirits, and slowly backed out.

When Chai Bo saw him, the wound on his shoulder was still bleeding, and he was dizzy through his clothes.The wound on the leg was also bleeding, and it was covered by the hem of the clothes, but it was not very clear.

He walked slowly, and without looking carefully, he could not see that he was walking with a limp.

Uncle Chai suddenly thought, perhaps it was because Xu Guanchen lived too freely when he was young. Although all his fathers, brothers and uncles in the family were soldiers who marched and fought, they loved and pampered him, a little literati in the general's mansion. Yes, if you want to pull your beard, you pull your beard, and if you want to pluck your eyebrows, you pluck your eyebrows.He himself made good friends with His Highness the Seventh Prince who was in full bloom at that time, and he was also known as a child prodigy in Jinling City, he could do whatever he wanted, and he could have whatever he wanted.

Perhaps it was because the road ahead went so smoothly, but later on, it became more and more difficult due to many illnesses and disasters.

At this time, Chai Bo saw that he was thin and thin, but he still straightened his back and never lowered his head. Then he looked at the three rows of spiritual seats in Dingguo's mansion.Suddenly he understood a little bit, what happened to Xu Guanchen's stubborn and helpless literati bones.

It's really strange that a small literati was raised in the general's mansion.

Chai Bo didn't think about anything else, and went out to deal with Duan Xiaowang, Xiao Jue.

Enduring the pain, Xu Guanchen walked slowly, turned around the corner of the corridor, and saw no one else, and he couldn't see anyone with his appearance.Then I couldn't bear it any longer and leaned against the wall to catch my breath.

It still hurts, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat.

Xu Guanchen has never been whipped by the family law.Once when I was young, I followed my elder brother Xu Wen for some firecrackers, and my aunt and old lady slipped in fright. Fortunately, the snow was soft and there was no serious problem.Just in front of the old lady, the old Duke Ding asked out the family law, he and his elder brother knelt on the ground, his elder brother was hit a few times, and the floor beside him was also hit a few times.

After the old lady left, Old Duke Ding ignored him for a cup of tea, and quickly hugged him on his lap again. He was still a good grandson.

Only this time, he has seen it before, but he has not endured the family law.

This time, it was true that Chai Bo hit him twice.

After recovering, he raised his injured foot, leaned on the wall, and hopped forward on one foot.

Xu Guanchen rubbed his head, but he didn't go back to his room, he hopped on one foot to find his master for treatment.

At that time, Yuqingzi was fiddling with small dark brown pills, and there were seven or eight kinds of medicinal materials in front of him, as well as paper and pens, to smear and modify, and to write prescriptions.

The door was wide open, and Xu Guanchen jumped in, almost tripping over the threshold.

Yu Qingzi didn't look up, just smiled and said, "You're still like a child."

Xu Guanchen called softly: "Master."

Hearing that his voice was not quite right, Yu Qingzi put down the pill, looked up, and saw that his face was pale, and there was a wound on his shoulder and leg, dripping with blood.

"You can still be beaten at home? Yes..." Yu Qingzi quickly realized, without further words, went forward, dragged him over, put him on the couch, and turned to look for medicine.

"You take off the clothes first, and when the blood clots and sticks to the clothes, it will hurt even more to tear them off."

Yuqingzi found a box of ointment, rubbed a little on the palm of his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, and said to himself: "Can this still be used?"

Xu Guanchen hurriedly said: "Master, how about..."

This is the servant knocking on the door outside, and put the wooden tray containing the medicine powder and fine cloth on the case: "Master Chai said, the young master must be at the Taoist priest's place, and he wants the servant to send something over."

Xu Guanchen didn't want to talk, Yu Qingzi took another look and said, "Okay, thank you Master Chai, close the door."

After the door was closed, Xu Guanchen took off his shoes, lifted up his trouser legs, and took off half of his clothes.Turn your face away and don't look at Yuqingzi.

"A few days ago, Mr. Chai went to the palace, and before he left, he asked my teacher, is it okay to kneel for an hour or two for your illness?" Yu Qingzi wiped the blood off his body with a handkerchief, "Afterwards you two made peace, As a teacher, I didn't take it to heart, who knew he would actually do it."

Yuqingzi picked up the medicine powder bottle and looked at it, then said to him: "This is the medicine used when marching. It doesn't hurt to rub it on. It will be fine in two days."

Xu Guanchen remained silent, Yu Qingzi dragged a small stool, sat down in front of him, and first helped him wrap the wound on his leg: "Oh, I'm a good boy with delicate skin and tender flesh, how can I stand it?"

Xu Guanchen didn't speak any more, he also felt bored, so he sighed.

After a while, Xu Guanchen lay on the table, buried his face in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't do anything wrong."

At that time, Yu Qingzi was treating him with a shoulder injury. Hearing this, he was taken aback for a moment, and quickly softened his tone, saying, "Good boy, that's right, that's right."

"I have knelt before, and I have been beaten." Xu Guanchen raised his head, "Uncle Chai is also getting old. I will pick someone these days and replace him."

Yuqingzi said: "You are the father-in-law, you can do whatever you want."

Xu Guanchen sighed, and said: "Yes, I am the father-in-law, and I should do whatever I want."

At this time, there were voices of arguing outside the door.

"Hey, little prince Duan, little prince, how can you jump over the wall and come in as soon as you turn your head?"

This is the voice of Chai Bo.

The little prince said: "I said that I saw the little father-in-law in white clothes enter your house. You insisted on telling me no, and you refused to let me in. You are obviously guilty of a thief. I am afraid that your Dingguo government will kidnap my little father-in-law. I deliberately went deep into the tiger's den and came to investigate."

Chai Bo said: "Young master in white, there is indeed no one else."

"Then let your little father-in-law come out to see me."

"My lord is a bit inconvenient..."

"I think you, an old trickster, are just lying to me. Maybe my little father-in-law has already been harmed by you." The little prince waved his hand, "Come here, turn this old trickster over to the government."

Xu Guanchen hurriedly put on his clothes, limped out, and opened the door.In the open space in front of the door, it was really Xiao Jue and Chai Bo, both of them brought their own people, and they were about to fight.

Xiao Jue's eyes lit up when he saw him coming out: "Hey, I've been looking for you for a long time, and I said, 'You are so kind, I will see you again'."

Xu Guanchen didn't look at him, and waved his hands, telling the servants in the mansion to retreat.Seeing him like this, Xiao Jue waved his sleeves and told the attendants who came in over the wall with him to retreat.

At this time Uncle Chai was also there, so Xu Guanchen supported the door and said, "Old Chai, I don't need to take care of you for a few days. If you don't want to take care of the housekeeper's affairs, I'll find someone else."

"Grandfather..."

"It's what you said. In the ancestral hall, regardless of your status, it's time to talk about your status when you leave the ancestral hall."

Xiao Jue laughed as soon as he heard it, bumped Chai Bo's shoulder, and said, "Yo, our little eunuch is so soft-tempered, why did you provoke him like this?"

Xu Guanchen just looked at Uncle Chai, and raised his voice: "Go ahead. I will pay off the elders in the ancestral hall. Since Old Chai is not willing to follow my father-in-law, I can't force it."

In front of outsiders, Chai Bo couldn't keep his face from turning blue and white.

Xiao Jue approached with a smile: "I've been looking for you for a long time, my lord..."

Xu Guanchen said helplessly: "I am the little eunuch, not the little eunuch."

"That's pretty good, you see, you are the little prince, and I'm the little prince." Xiao Jue cast a look at him, "We are related, aren't we?"
