Chapter 5 Never Forget Your Regrets(1/2)
Mou Bin saw that he was not talking nonsense, so he thought about it and snorted,
"That's all, I'll go to the Yamen later today. If you don't have anything serious to do, but you're just messing around and dragging me down, please watch out for me!"
Mou Biao waved his fat little hand,
"Don't worry, dad. My son is no longer a three-year-old child. It's not an important matter. How dare you delay dad's official business!"
Mou Bin snorted again after hearing this, and thought to himself,
"You're not a three-year-old kid, you're a ten-year-old kid. Why are you pretending to be serious!"
Although his face was stern, he still did not reject his son. He nodded and said yes. The other sons and daughters at the table bowed their heads and said nothing, curious and secretly muttering in their hearts.
"This is Lao Ba. Dad's face is so cold that someone could freeze to death in the dog days of summer. If it were us, I'm afraid I won't be able to say a single word!"
Mou Bin was always strict with his children. The first few elders did not dare to express their anger in front of him. He was only a little more tolerant towards his younger son. Therefore, his brothers and sisters were all upset that Mou Biao could speak to his father so boldly. Envy and jealousy.
After breakfast, the whole family dispersed. The sons were studying and practicing martial arts. The daughters also went to their boudoirs. Several aunts also wanted to leave, but the fifth aunt was in a daze watching her son chasing the master's back.
"Baby, is this brain broken or not?"
Her own son knew it, and his serious look clearly meant that something was really going on. At this young age, apart from eating, drinking, and having fun, what else could he do? Instead of talking to himself, he went to ask the master to talk to him?
Fifth Yiniang felt a little disappointed and even more curious. Behind her, Jin Zhu caught a glimpse of Mrs. Liu frowning at her master, and reminded her in a low voice,
"Auntie, Madam is looking at you!"
Mrs. Gu came back to her senses and quickly lowered her head. Mrs. Liu glanced at her and said calmly,
"The children are raised by their father. The eighth child will be ten years old in less than two months. He is already a big boy. His master has to take care of his affairs. As a maid and concubine, you only need to serve the master well and don't worry about the rest. Random thoughts!"
There are six aunts in Mou's house. Except for the eldest aunt and the fifth aunt who were born as girls, the other aunts are all girls from good families, and the eldest aunt followed Mou Bin in the early years. Although she is now old and not favored, she still has the same feelings as before. In terms of status, she is slightly higher than the aunt next to her in the mansion. In comparison, the fifth aunt has the lowest status. She is just a girl who sweeps the floor in the courtyard, and she is looked down upon by Mou Bin for some reason. Got married and been favored for so many years!
Mrs. Liu had been thinking about this matter for a long time but could not figure it out, so she was particularly displeased with Fifth Yiniang. Although she maintained her identity and did not want to embarrass Mrs. Gu too much, she was indispensable for her daily harassment, both over and over again!
How dare Madam Gu retaliate, she could only bite her lip and lower her head.
"That's what the lady said!"
They bowed and retired with several aunts. After everyone left the main courtyard, Sun, the sixth aunt who had always been on good terms with Gu, looked back at the other aunts who were gradually walking away, and then pulled He took off Gu's sleeve and asked,
"Fifth sister, does the eighth young master have something serious to talk to you about?"
Mrs. Gu was also full of doubts, but she didn't hide it from her. She shook her head and said,
"I don't know either!"
Seeing that the expression on her face didn't seem to be fake, Mrs. Sun became more and more curious and muttered,
"Why is the Eighth Young Master acting so weird?"
Mrs. Gu also sighed,
"I just said that the master was too harsh, but the doctors said it was fine..."
Not to mention how Aunt Gu was worried about her son, she only said that Mou Biao followed her father to the study room in the main courtyard. Mou Bin went in first, walked behind the desk, lifted his back, sat down with a big sword, and
Turning around, he saw that his son was also acting like a young adult. He also stretched out his hand to lift the back of his home robe, parted his legs, and sat down. His posture and expression were the same as his own. Mou Bin narrowed his eyes.
,
"I just say that this guy is the most like me!"
The reason why he is the favorite among his seven sons is because this boy's appearance and personality are similar to his. Even his behavior and demeanor are similar in many ways. Especially when this boy pretends to be an adult, he becomes even more like him.
Like, there are two types of parents in this world when they meet children who are similar to themselves. One is that they can't stand their own temper, so they are extremely disliked by their children. Most of them look at their children as if they were themselves.
As a young person, I particularly like it.
Mou Bin didn't show anything on his face, but still scolded his son with a straight face,
"You kid must follow my example!"
He only treats him as a son and is pretending to be weird!
Mou Biao looked confused when he heard this.
"Dad, you think I'm still young, what should I do to imitate you?"
Mou Bin glared at him,
"You know you are not young anymore, why did you make Mr. Peng angry before?"
After a pause he said again,
"Now that your injury is healed, you are going to bring some things to Mr. Peng to apologize to you, and invite Mr. Peng back. It is only right to study with Mr. Peng from now on!"
Mou Bin is really partial to this kid. Several elders in the family are studying abroad, but this one specially invited his husband to come back to teach. Of course... he is also afraid that letting this kid out will bring trouble to himself.
I just thought about being detained at home for a few years, and then being released to learn from others. I don't expect him to become famous, but to find a job to make ends meet. It would be good to have a stable living by myself!
He knows his own affairs, and few of the commanders of the Jinyiwei have died well. They were all emperors and courtiers at one time. What they look like from the outside is extremely dangerous behind the scenes. Their health is getting worse day by day. If they die once,
You still don’t know what will happen to your family, but you must make arrangements for your children when you can protect them!
Unexpectedly, when Mou Biao heard this, he shook his head like a rattle.
"Dad, I don't want to follow Mr. Peng's example..."
Before he finished speaking, Mou Bin stared.
"What are you doing? You want to be whipped again, don't you?"
As he said that, he looked around to find the whip he hung on the wall. When Mou Biao saw this, he waved his hands repeatedly and shouted,
"Dad, please listen to what I have to say!"
Mou Bin hummed,
"If everyone on the left and right doesn't want to study, it's useless for you to say anything. Only after you have to suffer a lot will you know what's good and what's good!"
After saying that, he stood up and Mou Biao hurriedly said,
"Dad, I didn't say I didn't want to study, I just said I didn't want to study with Mr. Peng..."
"If you don't learn from Mr. Peng, who will you learn from?"
"Academy... my son wants to enter the academy..."
"Academy? Do you want to enter the academy?"
Mou Bin didn't expect that his son would want to enter the academy. He was stunned and put the long whip he had taken on the desk.
"Which academy do you want to enter?"
After hearing what he said, Mou Biao thought it was a good idea and hurriedly answered,
"Chengsheng Academy... naturally Chengsheng Academy!"
Mou Bin frowned tightly when he heard this.
"Chengsheng Academy...where did Chengsheng Academy come from in the capital? Is it from outside the capital?"
Mou Biao never expected that his father would respond like this, but he just thought that others were deaf and said hurriedly,
"Chengsheng Academy, dad...are you confused? How come you don't even know about such a famous academy?"
"Snapped!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes blurred, something was already running towards his shoulder. Mou Biao was also smart, it was too late to get up and run, so he simply slipped to the ground like a loach, and he rolled to the ground. , he rolled and crawled away to the door of the study, holding on to the door frame and looking at Mou Bin in shock and panic,
"Dad...you have something to say, why do you start moving your hands while you are still talking?"
Mou Bin glared at his youngest son,
"You and I are only forty-five years old and in the prime of life. How old are we... If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will give you another meal of stir-fried tendons today!"
Seeing that his wrist was about to move again, Mou Biao hurriedly shouted,
"Father, please forgive me, my son just made a slip of the tongue... a slip of the tongue!"
Seeing that although Mou Bin still had a cold face, his right wrist was hanging down, he hurriedly continued,
"Isn't my son determined to make progress and want to go to the best academy in the capital? Please tell me, is there really no such place as Chengsheng Academy?"
Mou Bin thought for a while and threw the whip back on the table.
"How can I say that I have stayed in this capital for ten or twenty years, and I have never heard of Chengsheng Academy..."
Seeing the disappointment on his son's face, he paused and said,
"I'll send someone to inquire about you..."
Could it be that it was the newly opened academy in that nook and corner, and I didn’t know about it?
Mou Biao was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Thank you daddy!"
Mou Bin hummed,
"From what ignorant boy did you hear about this academy?"
This boy spends all his time at home chasing cats and dogs. Although he goes too far, he rarely goes out of the house. He doesn't know many people outside. I guess he overhears the casual chatter of the boys in the house?
