This means that Chu Qing is not in the political affairs hall. If he were, Gao Di would sever the father-son relationship with Chu Wensheng.
Money is not life, this sentence is vividly reflected in Chu Wensheng.
Imperial power requires awe. In this regard, no matter how arrogant Chu Wensheng's character is, he still has to be like a dragon and a tiger.
But there is one thing, let alone imperial power, even divine power cannot be discussed about money.
Because Lao Chu has no money, no money at all, and the only valuable thing in the house is the land deed. To pay the "fine", he has to sell the land deed, the land deed of his son Chu Qing, so Lao Chu just washes his butt in the winter, which directly irritates his eyes.
.
Of course, he had no idea that Chu Qing had already mortgaged the land deed.
If he wants money rather than his life, Lao Chu is anxious.
When Huang Laosi saw Chu Wensheng looking like he was going to fight for his life, his face softened, he waved his hand and opened his mouth, "then don't be fined three months' salary, but be fined half a year!"
In the end, Chu Wensheng was dragged back to class by his neck and collar by Liu Xun, Minister of Industry.
Chu Qing had no idea what was happening in the Yizheng Hall. At this time, he had just entered the Tao family's residence.
"A sneeze."
As soon as Chu Qing crossed the threshold, he sneezed. Tao Shaozhang, who was leading the way, turned back with a worried look on his face: "Master Chu is suffering from the cold. Do you want me to make some fire to keep you warm?"
"No, just lead the way." Chu Qing rolled his eyes: "Don't let me keep you warm, your dad will get cold again."
The Tao Mansion was very busy. The servants were carrying various tools to drain water outside. The concierge, Uncle Qin, was standing in the yard, shouting and directing everyone.
Chu Qing was a little worried. The rain came intermittently, and it lasted for half a day at a time. It was raining heavily. If it continued like this, wouldn't there be a disaster outside the city? If there was a disaster outside the city... would the farmland under his name be affected?
price drop?
Seeing Tao Shaozhang coming with Chu Qing, the old man smiled and said, "Young master, what do you think? Just say that this guy is not a heartless person."
Tao Shaozhang smiled slightly: "Uncle Qin is old, don't work too hard, just go back to the house and rest."
The old man waved his hand: "It's okay, go and see the master."
Chu Qing secretly wondered.
This old man is not simple. He looks like a janitor, but in fact he doesn't look like one.
With his eyes darting around, Chu Qing glanced back and forth at Tao Shaozhang and Uncle Qin.
He heard that there was the most chaos in a wealthy family like this. The father of the eldest young master may not be the master, and the children of the servants may not be cats or dogs.
After bypassing the main hall, Tao Shaozhang took Chu Qing to the sleeping room.
The door to the main bedroom was closed tightly, and there was a faint smell of medicine.
Tao Shaozhang stopped and turned around without saying anything. He saluted Chu Qing again, saying nothing.
Chu Qing smiled slightly.
Although he was unhappy in every way, he was willing to apologize to Tao Shaozhang and admit his mistake when he saluted Tao Shaozhang twice in the mansion and now.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds. Although Chu Qing was dissatisfied with Tao Yao, he also appreciated Tao Shaozhang's "filial piety".
A young minister from the fourth rank of Dali Temple was willing to compromise with a junior official from the eighth rank for the sake of his father. Chu Qing admired him very much.
The door was pushed open, Tao Shaozhang walked in first, followed closely by Chu Qing.
The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Lao Tao was lying on the bed. He seemed to be on his deathbed. His face was pale, but he was sober. He heard the voice and turned his head with difficulty.
His cloudy old eyes saw Tao Shaozhang, and his lips moved slightly.
"My son..."
Tao Shaozhang quickly came to the bed with a worried look on his face.
"Daddy."
"My son."
"Daddy."
"I…"
"Okay, okay, don't put that water away." Chu Qing interrupted the two of them, walked over, and saluted Tao Yao: "Master Tao, my little boy Chu Qing, I came here today to admit my mistake to you.
"
Tao Yao's old eyes, which were still cloudy, were suddenly filled with anger.
"It's you?!"
"Yes, it's me, Chu Qing, the son of Chu Wensheng, a whoring dog, shameless, who copied other people's knowledge and showed it off to you."
Tao Yao, who had been sluggish just now, seemed to have had a flashback, and roared: "Help me, father!"
Tao Shaozhang quickly helped his father up and put some soft pillows on his back.
"Okay, okay, okay, I know you are a boastful brat who deceives the world and steals your reputation. It's true, it's true."
Tao Yao sneered again and again. The louder he spoke, the louder and energetic he became: "I've been looking around and found nothing, so I knew it was like this. It's true!"
Chu Qing was very calm, his heart was as calm as water, and he bowed again: "Young man Meng Lang, I hope Master Tao won't be weird."
Tao Yao squinted his eyes, looked up and down at Chu Qing, who was soaked in the rain, and sneered again and again.
Tao Shaozhang knew his father's temper, and he also knew to some extent the temper of the new arithmetic teacher at the Ministry of Revenue behind him. He was deeply afraid that his father would scold Chu Qing if he scolded him harshly, so he said, "Dad, Mr. Chu has already realized his mistake."
, please don’t get so angry that you can rest peacefully.”
"Wait a minute."
Lao Tao was not a fool either. His face was full of doubts: "Why would he admit this?"
Before Tao Shaozhang could speak, Tao Yao's expression changed slightly and he frowned at Tao Shaozhang: "Could it be that you use your power to suppress others?!"
Tao Shaozhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How could Daddy think like this?"
Old Tao was unhappy and looked at his eldest son with squinted eyes, his face full of suspicion.
"Then why did he come to apologize to me and admit that he was a deceitful person?"
"this…"
"This bragging about a child who deceives the world and steals his name and is a shameless dandy is because he is a dandy who spends his days flying around and has a bad reputation. The people despise him like a rat crossing the street and everyone calls for beatings. How can he come to apologize for no reason?!"
Chu Qing was finally convinced.
The old man's back-to-mouth energy seemed to make him feel cold at all.
Tao Shaozhang couldn't explain it for a while and murmured.
"As expected!" Lao Tao suddenly became furious, slapped Tao Shaozhang's arm away, and cursed loudly: "What did I tell you after I entered the capital? If you enter the officialdom, you must stick to your true heart and not oppress others with power.
You can't seek personal gain, you can't bully others, kneel down!"
Tao Shaozhang was speechless: "Dad..."
"Shut up, I don't have a father like you!"
Chu Qing: "..."
Tao Shaozhang didn't even fart and knelt on the ground obediently.
"Father, let go of your anger; your child does not use his authority to overwhelm others."
"If you don't use power to oppress others, why would this boastful brat come to apologize?"
"I…"
Lao Tao was breathing heavily, and the anger in his eyes was even stronger than when he first saw Chu Qing.
Chu Qing, who was watching the excitement, was filled with emotions.
He really didn't expect that the Tao family's tutoring would be so strict, and the old man Tao Yao... still had some bright spots. Although he looked down upon others, at least he was good at educating his children.
"Master Tao." Chu Qing interjected: "It's true that it's not that Master Tao is using his power to coerce me into apologizing to you, it's..."
"What is it?"
"yes…"
Even Chu Qing blushed and said without conscience: "Actually, after the boy returned to the house, his conscience was condemned."
"condemn?"
"Yes, Master Tao, you are the prince's young master, a famous Confucian in the world, a model of scholars, praised by all the people of the Chang Dynasty, a leader among the sergeants in the capital, and a righteous person who promotes cross talk... and promotes Confucian classics. I think that I have deceived you.
I can't sleep or eat well, I tremble at the thought of being looked at by your righteous eyes, and I feel condemned by my conscience. That's why I came to apologize to you."
Tao Yao looked suspicious: "Really?"
"Yes, I am impressed by your charisma."
“What does charisma mean?”
"It's your upright character, unparalleled temperament, superb knowledge, and impeccable moral character. What's even more rare is that no one in the world knows that you have always been a role model."
"Oh~~~" Tao Yao looked like he suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder, it makes sense."
Looking at Tao Shaozhang, Tao Yao suddenly laughed: "What did my father say, nourish Haoran's righteousness and eliminate demons, how about it, how about it, hahahaha."
Tao Shaozhang: "..."
Chu Qing finally realized that the Tao family was really like seven fairies, each one more der than the other. How could this old man have the nerve to lick his face and let it go?
