Chapter XVIII

Gao Jian looked at Gao Huaiyuan with a simple look, and after listening to his words, he felt a little relieved, although this stupid son was not liked by him, but since he sobered up, he didn't add any more chaos to the family, even if he went out to wander, he didn't cause anything, but some time ago, he first took the initiative to ask to study, and now he knows that he can't study, and he wants to take the initiative to do something for himself, compared with his eldest son Gao Huailiang, who has always been very loved, it seems that he feels closer.

After Gao Jian thought about it for a while, he remembered the attitude of those family members in the house towards Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan was not liked by everyone, and when he had trouble with the Li family, everyone thought he was very barbaric, and they didn't like to associate with him, and he was struck by lightning, and the family talked behind his back that he was an ominous person, and staying in Gao Mansion would bring bad luck to everyone.

In addition to the Li family's original pouting and wanting him to drive Gao Huaiyuan back to Daye's hometown, several other wives and concubines and children also muttered about this matter, Gao Jian has always been a little ashamed of Gao Huaiyuan, so he never agreed, so he put this matter down; Later, there was an adultery between Li and Gao Huailiang*, and he was always very annoyed in his heart, so he didn't have time to think about it.

It's good now, Gao Huaiyuan himself took the initiative to mention it, and apologized for this unfortunate thing in the house, this kid is really more than a little stronger than Gao Huailiang, although he ignored him so much and treated him slowly, he still wanted to think about himself, which really made him ashamed!

After thinking about it, Gao Jian stopped persuading Gao Huaiyuan, anyway, there was no one in the Gao family's hometown, leaving hundreds of acres of land and a dilapidated house, nothing valuable, plus the old housekeeper who had stayed there had just died a few days ago, and he needed to send someone back to take over there, although Gao Huaiyuan was not very smart, but he was very loyal and honest, so he sent an outsider back, it was better to let him go back, take care of the old house, and leave him some family property for him to live in the future.

Thinking of this, Gao Jian nodded and showed a rare smile to Gao Huaiyuan, and said: "San Lang seems to be a child who knows filial piety, since this is the case, then I won't stop you, now you are also literate, although you can't get any fame, but at your age, there will be no problem in taking care of the old mansion's land!"

It just so happens that I am also going to send someone back to Daye's old house, you bring it up now, it is also the right time, since you have this filial piety, then you can go back and take care of the things there, although you are still young, but hone more, and you will naturally be able to do it well in the future!

But if you're not used to being there, you might as well write to me and tell me that it's a big deal to come back here, but I don't know when you want to leave? I'll arrange it for you, too! ”

After Gao Huaiyuan thought about it for a while, he was overjoyed in his heart, originally he just wanted to leave here, as for what to do after returning to Daye, he will talk about it when the time comes, listening to Gao Jian say this, he actually let himself go back to the old mansion to be a steward, then at least he doesn't have to worry too much about eating and drinking, so he immediately thanked him: "Thank you daddy for your love, please rest assured, the child will take good care of the old mansion's property, and will never let the old mansion be lower than the amount handed over to the family before, the child has already thought about it, as long as the father agrees, The child will leave the day after tomorrow, so it is better to go back a day earlier, or to get acquainted with it a day earlier! ”

"The day after tomorrow? This time is a little tight, as long as you think about it, the day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow, you need something, just tell Daddy, Daddy can do it for you, try to do it for you! Gao Jian pretended to be generous and said.

"Daddy can treat the child so reassuringly, the child is already very content, and the child doesn't need anything else, just ask the child to take Liu'er with him, the child doesn't need too many things on the road, thank you Daddy!" Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly replied.

Gao Jian saw that Gao Huaiyuan didn't take the opportunity to ask for things, and he was very happy in his heart, so he nodded and agreed, and the matter was settled.

The news that Gao Huaiyuan was going to leave Shaoxing and return to Daye's old mansion did not cause any waves in the Gao family, but Gao Jian's concubine Feng had a slight complaint, feeling that such a large piece of land in his hometown was handed over to Gao Huaiyuan, a stupid boy, which was a bit unreasonable, but Gao Jian felt that women should not ask about him, and after glaring at her, Feng himself closed his mouth, the reason is very simple, where is the fate of the Li family, annoying Gao Jian has no good fruit to eat, not to mention that her son Gao Huairen is now equivalent to becoming the successor of the Gao family, The little land in Daye's hometown is really nothing compared with the family property in Shaoxing, so this little turmoil also fell.

Gao Huaiyuan actually doesn't have anything to pack up, but he only has a few changes of clothes and a few military books and strategies handed over to him by Yao Zhong, and the rest has nothing to grow, so he doesn't need to prepare at all, he can set off at any time, the key is that he wants to say goodbye to those little brothers, and he doesn't know if he will be able to see these little brothers again in the future, so he must inform them!

"What? Big brother is leaving Shaoxing Mansion? After Zhao Heju heard the news, his face fell, this news is not good news for him, during this time, Gao Huaiyuan has taken good care of him, he has never been bullied again, he has formed a dependence on Gao Huaiyuan, and he is a little unhappy when he says that Gao Huaiyuan is leaving.

But he also knew that he couldn't decide Gao Huaiyuan's affairs, after all, he was still a child, his eyes couldn't help but turn a little red as he spoke, and tears flowed down, holding Gao Huaiyuan's hand, he didn't want to let go.

Gao Huaiyuan's first notice was Zhao and Ju's little brother, the two of them really feel like brothers now, this time to leave Shaoxing Mansion, he is most reluctant to leave this little brother!

He saw Zhao Youju's mood, reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, first wiped away his tears with his fingers, and said in an adult's tone: "Yu Ju doesn't have to be sad, how can the eldest husband shed tears casually?" Although I left Shaoxing Mansion, there are still Huang Yan's gang here, with them, naturally I can't let you be bullied by other children, after I leave, you have to practice the things I taught you diligently, and naturally no one will be your opponent in the future, what are you afraid of? If you want to be a big brother, you might as well write a letter to your eldest brother and ask someone from my family to bring it to me, and I will definitely write back to you! Besides, I don't necessarily won't come back, don't cry! ”

Zhao Youju nodded with tears in his eyes and agreed, and after the whole family heard about it, they rushed out the pair of shoes that Gao Huaiyuan had not finished during this time, and Gao Huaiyuan's care for their family, the whole family naturally remembered it, and felt that Gao Huaiyuan was very reluctant to leave.

But when Gao Huaiyuan recruited Huang Yan's gang to the broken temple in the south of the city, told Huang Yan and Zhou Hao's gang of boys about it, and told them to take care of Zhao Heju, the little brother, when they were fine, Huang Yan quit at once, and jumped up on the spot and said: "No!" Boss, if you leave like this, who will I learn kung fu with in the future! I've stayed enough of this house, my dad scolds me at every turn, so I'll go with you this time! ”

And when Zhou Hao heard this, he didn't say anything, turned his head and walked out, making everyone a little confused, secretly saying that the boss was leaving, why didn't this guy say a word! Just shake your head and leave? It's not righteous enough, isn't it? So someone scolded Zhou Hao for not being righteous and was stopped by Gao Huaiyuan.

"You are not allowed to scold him, I know best what Zhou Hao is like, Huang Yan, don't make trouble for me, if you go with me, it is estimated that your father can immediately report to the official to arrest me back, and convict me of abducting people, you better stay here honestly, don't have nothing to do in the future, just bully others, and sooner or later the province will be arrested and sent to the army!" Gao Huaiyuan explained to Huang Yan.

"That won't do! Anyway, it's useless for me to study, we are the children of businessmen, and we are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and in this life, at most, I will follow my father to sell rice for a living, how boring it is! What's more, my dad is also annoying me to death, and he still has peace of mind when I leave, and the province is always afraid that I will cause trouble for him here! You wait for the boss, I'll go and discuss with my father, I have to rely on you for life or death, unless my father breaks my leg this time! Otherwise, I'll go with you for whatever I say! After speaking, he ran towards home without looking back, and Gao Huaiyuan couldn't stop screaming.

Gao Huaiyuan was a little moved, Huang Yan don't look at the appearance of sometimes flamboyant tongue, but he is still very honest to himself, and his heart is not very bad, but he is just a little ruffian......

As for the other little brothers, no one offered to go with him, but these guys promised to take care of Zhao and Ju for Gao Huaiyuan in the future, and they would never let Zhao and Ju be bullied in Shaoxing, and they would not let his family be too poor, please rest assured that Gao Huaiyuan was that a few boys also brought a bunch of wine and food, and sat on the ground and said what they wanted to do for Gao Huaiyuan, and together with these little brothers, Gao Huaiyuan himself forgot that he was actually an adult.

Fortunately, the alcohol content of this era is not high, otherwise a group of teenagers will definitely drink and can't find the north, while eating and drinking, Zhou Hao ran back panting, and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Big brother, I told my parents, anyway, I'm idle, so I'll go to Daye with you, my parents have agreed!" I'll hit the road with you tomorrow! ”

Only then did everyone know that Zhou Hao ran away without a sound just now, it turned out that he was going to discuss with his family and go with Gao Huaiyuan, the kid who scolded Zhou Hao just now, hurriedly served wine and meat to Zhou Hao, and lost money for a while, Zhou Hao drank this bowl of wine with his head down, bowed his head and ate meat and stopped talking.
