The Treacherous Minister Who Sold Out His Teacher for Fame (6)
Ji Changze not only pretended to be weak in front of outsiders, but also pretended to be really weak in front of Qiao Yuanhuan. He looked as weak as he could be, but he could still maintain the illusion that he was too weak to walk and needed his wife's support, while keeping his feet steady and not crushing Qiao Yuanhuan.
His acting was so realistic that Qiao Yuanhuan believed him and looked worried: "Brother Ze, are you weak from kneeling these two days? How about I take you to the clinic in front?"
"Don't."
Ji Changze's face was pale, and his eyes wandered around the crowd watching the excitement. He showed some strength on his face, pursed his lips, and although his voice was weak, he raised the volume to the point where people around could hear:
"Don't make fun of us, let's go back directly."
"Even if Dad is sick now, there is still a man like me in the family. No matter what happens, we must stand up straight."
If it weren't for his later words, it would be fine. With those words, how could the people who had been watching the excitement in front of Master Qiao's door and followed him to continue watching know who Ji Changze was talking about.
It was his uncle who disregarded brotherhood and threw dirty water on his former son and now nephew in order to be able to openly watch him die.
Ji Changze was born young and well-fed. Nowadays, the character of scholars is still highly valued. He showed his "arrogance" on the street, and the common people just watched for fun, but those scholars praised him in their hearts.
In the past, although the eldest son of the Ji family was not very prominent, and it was even said that he was a little arrogant, now it seems that his family treats him as the eldest son, so his character is naturally spoiled, but when something happens at home, he stands up all of a sudden, doesn't he?
But he is still young after all, otherwise he wouldn't have been splashed with dirty water for two days in vain.
Ji Changze coughed "weakly" a few times, and saw that the people around him who were dressed in bright clothes had sympathy and appreciation in their eyes. He thought it was almost enough, so he stopped while he was ahead, and didn't stay any longer, and went home with Qiao Yuanhuan who supported him.
But it was precisely because of his short stay that some people appreciated him a little more.
After enduring such humiliation, he was able to say nothing bad about Mr. Qiao, which shows that he is upright.
But think about it, the second master Qiao was very knowledgeable at first, but he got involved in business after the family was separated. But even if he was doing business, the students he taught, even if they were not very promising, were all successful. How could Ji Changze, who was raised by him, be any worse?
Ji Changze made such a fuss, which was considered to be a temporary cleansing for himself. It was easier to deal with Ji's father and mother. Both of them could not go out at present. Only Qiao Yuanhuan was waiting and taking care of them. Before, she thought that her husband went to his uncle's house because he wanted to go back, and she was afraid that the two elders would be sad and kept it a secret from them, so they didn't know about it for the past two days.
He didn't hide it directly. After returning, he knelt down at the head of Ji's father's bed.
Then, with red eyes, he said that his son was unfilial. He had hoped to save our family these two days, so he ran to find his uncle. Unexpectedly, he knelt for two days and didn't even see his uncle, let alone borrow money to buy medicine for him. Instead, he made a fool of himself. Although his son was 18 years old, he had always been busy studying and having fun with his classmates, and never touched business. Now he really didn't know what to do.
Qiao Yuanhuan didn't expect her husband to be so honest. He actually told everyone what happened in the past two days. She was worried that her father-in-law would be angry, so she looked over quickly. As a result, when she looked over, Ji's father on the bed didn't have any anger on his face, but rather a bit of heartache.
In addition to heartache, there was also some guilt hidden in his heart.
He had been bedridden for the past two days, and he had never seen his son come to see him. He had some guesses in his heart, but he never asked them out loud. In addition to the uncomfortable expression on his daughter-in-law's face when he pretended to mention it occasionally, and his son's admiration for his uncle, Ji's father became more and more certain of his thoughts.
Father Ji knows what kind of child he raised better than anyone else, especially his son's attitude towards Master Ji. Father Ji sees it more clearly.
But before, he thought that the child was young and spoiled since childhood, and didn't know anything. Later, when he saw how the other side treated his biological son and knew that the other side didn't take him seriously, he should be clear, but he didn't expect to suffer this disaster suddenly.
Father Ji guessed that Ji Changze went to find his eldest brother, and he was still a little disappointed. He knew that it was normal for children to have admiration for their biological parents, but now the Ji family is in the most difficult time. He is still bedridden. His wife just gave birth to a child and raised Changze for 18 years. Can't he let him take care of them and comfort them at this time?
Father Ji was alone in his heart for two days. The disease that could be controlled was a little worse. He was depressed and couldn't even get out of bed.
As a result, his son came back and told him that he went to find his uncle, but he didn't ask for recognition, but to ask his uncle to save his life.
The anger that he had been holding back for the past two days suddenly dissipated.
Especially when he saw Ji Changze's disappointed expression and eyes, whispering to him that he had heard that his uncle was a decent person and a serious government official serving the country. He didn't know how much he admired his uncle in his heart, but he didn't expect that when something happened at home this time, he found out that his uncle was unwilling to help even his own brother.
Help, what the hell, this time it was probably done by the eldest brother.
If others don't know about Ji Feng Ji Yue, don't Ji Fu know about it? Although the two are brothers from the same father and mother, in Mr. Ji's heart, the younger brother is not there for brotherly love, but to share the family property with him.
Looking back, the age difference between the two is more than ten years. The teenage Master Ji has long been accustomed to having only one young master in his house. He also naturally believes that the family property, parents' love and affection belong to him alone. As a result, Ji's father was born. .
He is not the kind of concubine who can be dismissed casually, but a serious second son who can divide the family property and the love of his parents.
No one knows when Mr. Ji became crooked. Anyway, Ji's father liked to be close to this brother when he was a child. He expected his brother to take him to play, and worshiped his brother who was more capable than him. He only grew cold after suffering a few losses.
He is different from Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji never worries about whether his parents will be sad when he attacks his younger brother. But Ji's father is worried that his parents will not be able to bear the brothers killing each other when they are old. In addition, he is not as ruthless as Mr. Ji. He was very interested in literature, so he developed into literature, and only started to engage in business after the separation of the family.
As a result, he finally managed to build the current family property, but a disaster happened from the sky, and the property went bankrupt all of a sudden.
Ji's father has a clear heart, so he came here specifically for him. Although his previous family property attracted people's attention, who else but Mr. Ji would have such a reason to take action?
It's not just because he wants to make money.
No matter how good-tempered a person is, he will be offended if he does this, but now he feels quite happy in his heart.
Although most of it is bad news, isn’t there also good news?
Look, the child he raised with his own hands has finally seen the ugly face of Mr. Ji, and he will no longer be as envious as before.
and! ! Nagasawa knelt at the door and said something like that before. In addition, he also said that there were many people watching the excitement around. It is estimated that today, Mr. Ji watched his brother die and his nephew knelt in front of him. The news spread throughout the city that he refused to help after two days of begging at the door.
He had never beaten his elder brother in a fight before, but he didn't expect that Nagasawa, who he had raised by himself, would let him fall into the trap today.
Cool! !
So cool! ! !
Ji's father glanced at his son who was kneeling in front of his bed with a look of loss and remorse, and coughed. He felt a little better after getting the good news, and actually let him sit up half-way with his body propped up.
He sat down and reached out to help Ji Changze.
"Good boy, get up quickly. Now that something is happening in our family, you went there because you wanted to help. I can't blame you."
Seeing that Ji Changze's face was still full of pain and anger, he sighed again: "Actually, dad didn't explain many things clearly to you before. Your uncle... eh."
There was a bit of sadness on his face, but he showed no mercy at all. He told all the things Mr. Ji had done before, of course, in a more tactful way.
For example, your uncle had just gotten married and your father and I were still a child. Maybe it was because your grandparents looked at me because I was young and loved me. He was unhappy and was not very friendly to your father and me. He even pushed me on purpose on a rainy day. I almost disfigured me, and then went to your grandparents to bite me back. I was young and didn’t know how to defend myself at the time. Looking back later, I’m afraid your uncle has never taken me seriously since then. Brother watched.
After finishing speaking, I would like to add one sentence, but it may be that your uncle was young and did not know the importance of things. Time has passed, and I don’t want to blame him, etc.
No matter how young you can be, you were already married at that time. A married brother actually deliberately pushed his biological brother who was still a child. This shows his character and character.
Ji's father's words not only revealed Mr. Ji's trashy character, but also created a great image for himself as a glorious person who didn't care about his brother.
Otherwise, it is said that the literati can talk. As soon as he talked like this, the eldest brother who couldn't play with him before turned into a man who cared about the fraternal relationship and was unwilling to make an enemy.
Anyway, he just said how pitiful and pathetic he wanted to be.
After saying this, Ji Changze's face showed a bit of indignation. He said angrily: "Fortunately, I still secretly admire you. It turns out that your uncle is such a person. Dad, why didn't you tell your son earlier? If you had known that he had been like that." I will definitely not give him a good look towards you."
Father Ji was happy.
He had wanted to use eye drops for a long time, but after all, the other person was Nagasawa's biological father. When his adoptive father said such things, it seemed as if he was jealous of his biological father and son and said bad things behind his back.
And applying eye drops behind his back is not something a gentleman would do, but this time he was seriously ill, and many things were different in Ji's father's heart. In addition, looking at his son's aggrieved and lost look now, he would be in trouble if he didn't strike while the iron was hot. Too stupid.
Ze has witnessed with his own eyes what kind of person his eldest brother is, shouldn't he seize the opportunity to take eye drops? Otherwise, such a good opportunity would be wasted.
Opportunities are fleeting, so grab them if you can.
He said very "helplessly": "After all, he is your biological father. Although he wanted to send you away because of a monk's comment, you admire him so much, how could you have the heart to say it as a father."
Yes, that's right, that's it, to tell the truth about the eldest brother not wanting Nagasawa in such a subtle way.
Sure enough, Ji Changze looked greatly shocked and asked in disbelief: "Uncle ever wanted to send his son away??"
This reaction suited Ji's father exactly.
He got excited and tried to show some regret on his face, with an expression of "Oh my god, why did I say that? I shouldn't have told you this."
Ji Changze was indeed anxious and kept asking what was going on.
Ji's father "couldn't shirk" and told the original matter "with great helplessness."
Of course, it has been polished and processed a little.
For example, it was because of the words of the favorite concubine in the mansion that Master Ji had the idea. In Ji's father's mouth, it became that he was worried about Ji Changze's defeat at the first time, and that he planned to throw Ji Changze into the manor but was stopped by the old lady. In Ji's father's mouth, it became "Your mother and I heard about this, and thought that it was so chaotic now, and you, a child, would not be able to survive if you were thrown out, so we went to find your grandmother."
He also focused on describing how cold-blooded and ruthless Master Ji was when Ji Changze was taken away by them, without even looking at him. How Ji Changze, who was still a baby, cried so hard that his cry was tearful. But in the end, Master Ji did not come to see off his son who would become his nephew in the future.
Father Ji still had integrity. Although there was a little bit of artistic processing, most of it was the truth. It was just that he portrayed Master Ji's ruthlessness through his own description.
Ji Changze cooperated very well and showed an even more disappointed expression.
Then he said the words that Father Ji wanted to hear the most: "I didn't expect that my uncle was such a person. If I had known earlier, I would not have asked him. Father, you are kind enough to recover from your illness. I will not look for him again in the future. He is not worth it."
Oh my God, these words made Father Ji feel comfortable all over, just like drinking a sip of ice water in the hot summer.
Although the family has fallen, now the family is of one mind, which is better than anything else.
He felt relieved, and his body felt much more comfortable than before, especially when Ji Changze opened the window to let the air in. He was no longer spoiled, but said calmly that he would be at home in the future, and asked his father to take good care of his illness and not worry about it. Ji's father felt better.
When he saw Ji Changze go out, he was still thinking in his heart that although Changze had been raised to be naive since he was a child, it was not without benefits.
Look, he won his son back with just a few words.
Oh, he is still as good as ever.
But Changze is still too easy to coax.
As soon as Ji Changze went out, Qiao Yuanhuan came up to him and asked nervously: "Brother Ze, how is Dad?"
Is he angry because his uncle turned his face and refused to recognize him?
"Dad is very good. I talked to him for a while. Now he looks much more energetic than before."
Ji Changze never thought that the old man could be persuaded by him with just a few words.
This old man is quite easy to please.
