Chapter 1708: A cheeky old man
Gu Zikai didn't expect Master Yi to say it so generously, really, is this old man's face thicker?
But I complained in my heart, the melon still has to be eaten, and the hexagram still has to be eight, otherwise how can I hear the first-hand news, so that I can go to my cousin to express my innocence and position?
Gu Zikai's mind is clear, and his position has always been very firm, that is, he is on his cousin's side.
There is no one around at this moment, since Master Yi knows that Mrs. Dingguo knows, looking at this posture, he seems to be a little unhappy, so he naturally wants to confess himself through Gu Zikai's mouth.
At that moment, he said bluntly: "You should know that since I returned to the capital to serve my parents, even if I am old, I originally planned to spend a leisurely life in the capital, and in the future, I will make my grandson a rich idler." If you are idle and bored, you can also open a museum and accept two young children for enlightenment, which is also comfortable. ”
"Your father came to me because you were going to Yunzhong County to take office. Although your father looks at Duansu, he actually loves you brothers very much, so he can rest assured that you can go to the capital thousands of miles away to be an official? I was also moved by your father's fatherly heart, of course, but also because I owed your father several favors back then, and I never had a chance to pay it back. owes it like this, and the old man always has a bad feeling in his heart. ”
"After so many years, could it be that your father begged me, even if it was to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I would have to do it, right? What's more, it's just to assist you for a few years, and when you succeed, it's time for old age to retire. ”
This Gu Zikai knew it in his heart, he knew that a character like Master Yi, I don't know how many feudal officials asked him to go out of the mountain, but he refused.
is willing to come to himself as a master in Yunzhong County, which is really condescending.
Bow at the moment: "Little nephew, thank you uncle!" ”
Master Yi waved his hand: "You don't have to thank me!" If you want to thank your father, if I hadn't looked at his face, I wouldn't have come. ”
Gu Zikai had to smile and accept it.
Master Yi then talked about the reason why he thought about Mrs. Zhang.
It turned out that Master Yi went home to serve his parents, and later his son married his wife and his daughter married, and the servants in the family followed his son one after another, some of them became daughters' companions, and the rest were only two or three old servants, and an aunt, guarding the old house.
Because Master Yi closed the door and didn't see outsiders, these people were barely enough.
On the day Gu Changqing went, Master Yi's aunt had been sick for a few days, and the old servant in the family was already old, his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he had to take care of his aunt, so he neglected here.
Gu Changqing arrived at Yi's house and sat for a long time, without even drinking hot tea.
Looking at the courtyard outside, the grass has not been pulled, and the fallen leaves have not been swept away, and it looks desolate.
In this study, there is also a thick layer of dust in the corners, and even the leftover tea and snacks from the previous day have not been taken away.
Look at Master Yi again, what a romantic person back then, even after his right hand was injured, although he was a little decadent, his appearance was still clean and neat.
But looking at it now, the beard is unkempt, the clothes have not been changed for a few days, wrinkled like old pickles, and there are traces of vegetable oil stains on it, which shows that the mother-in-law who washes the clothes is also perfunctory.
Gu Changqing suddenly couldn't hold back, and persuaded Master Yi twice, at such an age, you should take good care of your body, where can you suffer so much?
The children are not around, and an aunt is still sick, not only can she not serve, but she also has to allocate people to serve her, why bother?
He also said that it is better to have a housewife in the family, if there is a housewife, even if the aunt is sick, it will not be messy like this, and the master can't even eat hot meals, right?
Even if I have a deep love for the original wife, but it has been more than ten years, the children have all been raised and married, and I am old, I should find someone who knows the cold and the hot, and it is good to be a companion when I am old, right?
In today's mainstream society, after a man is widowed, if he does not remarry a wife, even if he has seventeen or eighteen concubines around him, it is called single and no one takes care of him.
What's more, the aunt next to Master Yi is really a character with the same decorations.
Therefore, Gu Changqing's persuasion is also right.
Master Yi is also smooth, saying that people of his age are almost buried in the neck, if he marries a little girl, wouldn't it harm his life?
Besides, a person like him, that kind of little girl who has never experienced the world, where can he get into his eyes?
But if it is an older woman who has experience and knows the world and knows things, she is either a wife in someone's family.
Even if there is a widow, it is a troublesome thing to remarry, involving the children of both parties, the family, and it is an endless troublesome matter.
He is so old, and his children have already started a family, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
If you really want to marry a wife, you naturally hope that the two of you can live a clean life for two days in peace, instead of thinking about three days of endless trouble, he is not a young man anymore, and he can't withstand such a toss.
It's better for him to be clean and comfortable alone.
It was this sentence that made Gu Changqing think.
Gu Changqing knows what his friend is like, although he has a lot of means in official affairs, but in private affairs, especially in the relationship between children and daughters, he is really affectionate and righteous.
Not to mention anything else, his original wife, I heard that it was not that the two were in love, but that they had to marry by chance.
But after getting married, he also had a lot of respect for this lady.
Even if it was a concubine, it was the lady who took the initiative to send her personal girl.
When the lady died, she left her last words, asking him to take good care of the two children, and not to let future generations bully him, so he was honest and simply did not marry until the two children were raised.
From the perspective of a man looking at a man, it is extremely rare for Master Yi to do this.
Originally, Gu Changqing couldn't have imagined this, but a few days ago, the old lady of the Gu family chattered, saying that there are several children, and now even the old Gu Changqing, who has been the most worried, has become married, and they are all a harmonious family.
only thinks of her hard-working daughter, who is still the most pitiful, a dignified eldest lady, but reduced to marrying a country man as a stepmother, and now she has become a widow.
The son is not successful, so he can only live with his daughter and son-in-law.
Everyone else has a complete family and a husband and wife, but she is the only one who can rely on her daughter.
Speaking of which, her daughter is not too old, and her temperament is refreshing, but her life is hard, and she doesn't even have a person around her who knows cold and hot.
Gu Changqing also felt that his sister-in-law's life was miserable.
If nothing happened at the beginning, she stayed in the Gu family, but now she is afraid that she is also the head mother of a high-ranking family, and she is being treated as an ancestor.
Where is it like now, among the four brothers and sisters, their brothers are all husband and wife, but this sister is the only one?
