Chapter 422

Ximen Kai was in a daze in the study room of Ximen's house. This was the place where the old man often sat. After the old man returned to his hometown, he would come and sit here when he had nothing to do.To him, the study seemed to be full of memories of his ancestors, and he could find more support here.

"They said you came back early, what happened?" Ximen came back again, and heard that Ximen had come back early, didn't eat, and sat in the old man's study after he came back.He went back to his room to wash his face, changed his clothes, sat down and drank a cup of hot tea, and let himself be silent before coming over.

Ximenkai raised his head and looked at his second uncle. He was getting a little fatter in middle age. He sat outside the desk. He slowly sat down and then breathed a sigh of relief. He thought about it, "Second uncle, do you think your surname is Ximen?" Is this last name annoying?”

Ximen was stunned again, and thought about it, "I never thought about it. I was born with the surname Ximen. Since I can't change it, why should I hate it?"

"Never hated him once?" Ximen thought again and shook his head gently.

"Are you ever proud of your surname Ximen?" Ximenkai shook his head and asked again.

"No, it's just a last name." Ximen thought about it seriously and shook his head again. The maid came in, brought tea, and immediately left.

"What did you think at that time when my cousins ​​were bad at studying and gone?" Ximen Kai looked at his second uncle. In the eyes of his grandfather, both of his sons had failed.His own father stopped talking. He didn't think it was right for his grandfather to blame his grandmother for choosing the wrong daughter-in-law.Even if the person who married him was Yang Zhenniang, would he still feel that his parents had married him to the wrong person? Why should they give him a woman with all kinds of skills?As for the second aunt, a standard noble lady, when his cousin had an accident, he really felt that the second aunt was too indulgent. If she was like Xiao He who stared at An An every day, like Qingqing who spent a lot of time on An An, maybe the cousin Brothers will not become like that.But things have changed, and when he thinks about it again, he has to say that although the two cousins ​​were a little playful, they were not bad in nature.Would it be better if he went to the mountains with me to learn martial arts?Is it really the second aunt's fault?

Ximen frowned again, picked up the tea bowl himself, and took another sip slowly.After a while, he raised his head and looked at Ximen Kai, "What's wrong with you?"

"I feel like it's a bit tiring to be the eldest son and grandson of the Ximen family. I wonder if it would be better for me if all the brothers were here." Ximen Kai twitched the corner of his mouth.

"You have learned bad things from the Qiao family." Ximen frowned again and said softly.

"By the way, you didn't support my proposal to marry the Qiao family at first. Why?" Ximen laughed and changed the topic.

"A daughter of a petty official, even if she becomes a princess now, her background will not change. I don't deny that this girl is very smart, but how many more years can I continue to work? Besides, I am different from your grandfather. After I became a scholar, I studied in the Hanlin Academy After three years in the Ministry of Justice, I have been in the Ministry of Justice. I have never been a local official, but I have been working as a junior official in the Ministry of Justice, and then I slowly rose to the position of Minister. It is not about seniority, how should I say? Use What you just said is that this is the responsibility of the children and grandchildren of the Ximen family. Originally, the person who entered the Criminal Department that year was your father. He is more suitable than me, do you know why? "

"After he became a scholar, he immediately went to the Imperial College to teach law. From now on, all officials from the Imperial College will be his students. By the way, he can also find more suitable talents to make up for the gap between us." Ximen Kai is very open-minded.

"Yes, I am the second child. My path at that time should have been like your grandfather's. After the Hanlin Academy, I started as a local official and slowly moved towards Dali Temple." Ximen Kai sighed softly.

Ximen Kai's eyes widened. He thought that if Ximen didn't take over the responsibility of the family, he should follow the route of a talented scholar. After all, it is impossible for their brothers to be in charge of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple at the same time. Is it true that the world belongs to their family? "It's not in charge, it's about sharing the pressure. No matter who is lucky, my father or I, we can keep one place in our family. This is the advantage of having two sons in the family, and the pressure will not only be placed on one person. So Your father had an accident, so I went directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and took the farthest route, but I did not defend the Ministry of Criminal Justice in a way that no one could replace. Therefore, the pain and regret you just mentioned do not exist in my heart, because which way is right? For me, it's all very hard. At least in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, I can stay in Beijing all the time, and my life is quite comfortable."

"Your temperament is not like that of Ximen's family." Ximen laughed and looked at his uncle. Now that he thinks about it, this man is really a bit wise and foolish.

"I look like your grandma, don't you think? Your grandma is very easy-going, but the biggest pain in life is probably marrying your grandpa." Ximen spread his hands again.

Ximen Kai was startled for a moment. The grandmother in his impression should be the serious and stern mother in his grandfather's words. The two daughters-in-law he chose were wrong. According to what his grandfather said, the failure of Ximen's family was due to his grandmother's chaos. Click on the Yuanyang score.

"Don't believe it?" Ximen Zai couldn't help but laugh at Ximen, and sighed longly, "I don't mind my surname being Ximen, but I do mind that he is your grandfather's son."

"Can I ask why?"

"No reason!" Ximen sighed softly, leaned back slightly, and looked at the study room with some contempt, "This study room used to be the place I hated the most. I hated everything about it. Sometimes, I I feel that he gave birth to us because he had to have heirs. He wants to pass on the Ximen family, but he is ruthless to anyone. To his wife, to his son, including to his grandchildren..."

"Second uncle!" Ximen Kai was a little restless. This was not what he wanted to ask today. He was just filled with uneasiness.As a result, the second uncle is now full of resentment, not for the life he was influenced by, but for the root of everything, their grandfather.

"No matter what the old man asks you to do, don't agree. Just wait quietly for him to die. Once he dies, you will be free." Ximen Zai smiled cruelly.

"Second uncle!" Ximen Kai was a little angry and stared at Ximen Zai.

"Don't you dare ask me why I hate him?" Ximen looked at Ximen Kai again, a little cruelly.

"Do you want me to take you back?" Ximen Kai avoided that look and prepared to stand up and take him back to the house.

"He has been calculating all his life, just like Master Qiao. Of course it is different. Master Qiao's calculation results are to protect the Qiao family and his children and grandchildren. If he dares to touch the Qiao family, he can kill them. Just like Guo Guo The family was over. Of course, your grandfather was responsible for the demise of the Guo family, but the root cause was the Qiao family. Your grandfather was just borrowing power. He borrowed the platform of the Qiao family to help you gain a foothold in Dali Temple. Now Dali Temple Who dares to compete with you? They think that the Guo family and the Zheng family are the handiwork of your grandfather." Ximen sneered again.
