Chapter 29 Rules
Ji Ziqian got up early in the morning, and Ji Weilanxin personally arranged the clothes for her son, and she did not forget to tell her: "This time I let you go to be a servant, I have wronged you, but it is difficult to enter the fairy gate, so there is no other way. Seeing you rushing towards brother, please remember not to contradict him, and have a good relationship with him."
"Mom, you've said it no less than twenty times." Ji Ziqian replied proudly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."
As the young master of the Ji family, Ji Ziqian did have something to be proud of.
Last year, he asked a spiritual master to open the Jade Gate for him. The four rounds of the Jade Gate can be regarded as middle-grade qualifications. The most important thing is that it takes perseverance and perseverance to hit the Jade Gate. Among the young masters, it is rare, and it is worthy of pride.
In addition, he is also a human being on weekdays, he knows how to read and understand etiquette, and he does not know how much better than Wei Tianchong, so in his opinion, taking down Wei Tianchong is a piece of cake.
Under normal circumstances, this is really not difficult.
After packing up their clothes, the two of them went out formally, and asked someone to lead the way to the Meditation Garden. Qingyangxuan is far away from the Jingxin Garden, and it takes a lot of places to walk along the way. Ji Ziqian hadn't been here for a long time, and when he occasionally visited the Weifu, he was also surprised by the grandeur of the Weifu. The young man was a shrewd person, and he took the initiative to talk about the various houses and households along the way, explaining the situation of the Weifu to Ji Ziqian. Ji Ziqian is a newcomer, so he naturally attaches great importance to this information, so he is very grateful to the servant.
But in this way, the speed is a bit slow, but on the way, I always meet various people, there are servants from various houses, maidservants, and even stewards, all of them are extremely polite, and they just say hello when they see each other , the speed slowed down a bit.
After walking for a while, we came to the Yi Nian Ju where the old man lived, and saw the old man boxing in the yard. Now that he saw it, Ji Ziqian had to go up to say hello.
When the old man saw his grandson coming, he asked for warmth again, and he let him go after a while.
But in this way, more than half an hour has passed when we arrived at the Jingxin Garden.
When they arrived at Jingxin Garden, they were told that Wei Tianchong was in class and should not be disturbed.
Wei Lan felt very dissatisfied: "Didn't someone say that they would come to see the young master today so that Chong'er would not have to go to school?"
She is Wei Tianchong's aunt, so naturally she doesn't have to be too polite with Wei Tianchong.
Shi Meng replied with a nonchalant smile: "The young master has indeed waited for half an hour, but seeing that there was really no one to wait for, he thought the two of you would not come, so he went to class."
He didn't say that Wei Tianchong was so anxious after waiting for a long time that he even smashed a chair, and Wei Lanxin and Ji Ziqian didn't notice the problem.
Since he was late, he really couldn't blame Wei Tianchong.
Fortunately Shi Mo said: "But since the two of you are here, you always want to say hello to the young master. Why don't you take the two of you to the academy to have a look?"
Thinking about it, Ji Ziqian replied politely: "If this is the case, then I will trouble you little brother."
Although he came from a family, he also knew that he came here for something, so he was polite to the servants here, but he still disdained to learn from Tang Jie and give money and gifts.
"You two, please follow me." Shi Meng had already brought Wei Lanxin and Ji Ziqian to the academy.
When I arrived at the academy, I saw a gentleman in the academy teaching, and there were more than a dozen people sitting below, all of whom were from the Wei family, but I didn't know which one was Wei Tianchong.
Shi Meng pointed to Wei Tian who was sitting there and said, "That's the young master. During class time, I don't want to disturb you, so just say hello here."
As he spoke, he coughed into the room.
Shi Mo over there heard it, looked up and saw three people standing outside, knew that it was Ji Ziqian and the others coming, so he poked Wei Tianchong with his arm, and then pouted outside.
Wei Tianchong looked up, and he was making eye contact with Ji Ziqian.
However, Shi Mo's movements were obviously a bit louder. When the teacher saw him, he grabbed the ruler in his hand and pointed at Wei Tian: "Study hard, don't look around!"
This time the ruler hit Wei Tian on the head, the pain was so painful that he shrank his head and didn't dare to look again.
The ancients did not pay attention to happy teaching when teaching,
No corporal punishment of students.
The teaching chair itself is a job that is qualified to beat the young master, and the Wei family's teaching chair is a well-known Confucian in Canglong Mansion, with extremely high prestige, and has taught several famous people all over the world.
Don't say that you are the young master of the Wei family, even if you are the young master of the Jin family, the Zhang family, or even the Xian family, you will not be missed if you don't pay attention to the lectures.
Therefore, even Wei Tianchong didn't dare to resist this rule, but he gritted his teeth with hatred for Ji Ziqian in his heart.
Originally, after Wei Tianchong got angry yesterday, he thought it was his cousin, so there was no need to worry too much, so he already retreated a little bit, but now he has been cheated one after another. The image of Ji Ziqian is completely bad.
Ji Ziqian didn't realize the first impression of this failure. In his opinion, it is common for him to not listen carefully in class and be taught by his teacher, so he just smiled: "It seems that the time is really not here. If this is the case, why don't we go back first?" Just wait in the Jingxin Garden. By the way, Shimeng, how long does the master usually teach?"
"Well..." Waiter Meng showed embarrassment: "But it's hard to say. Sir, the teaching time is not on time. Sometimes the time is long, sometimes the time is short. When the mood comes, it is not uncommon to teach until night."
"That's it." Ji Ziqian thought for a while, "If that's the case, let's go back to Qingyangxuan first. If the young master leaves get out of class early, please let me know."
"That's natural." Shi Meng smiled and Mimi replied.
Of course, Ji Ziqian won't get any notice.
Two days after entering the Wei Mansion, Ji Ziqian's only achievement was to see Wei Tianchong from a distance, and he was beaten.
———————————
The third day of entering the house.
On this day, Ji Ziqian got up early and tidied up his clothes, so as to avoid another empty trip. Wei Lanxin was about to accompany her son, but unexpectedly, Yan Zhi came to invite her aunt to meet her for his wife.
Zheng Shufeng didn't know that Ji Ziqian didn't talk to his son yesterday, but thought that everyone had met each other and was familiar with each other, so there was no need for Wei Lanxin to accompany him every time, and with Rouge's suggestion, he called Wei Lanxin to go with him Accompany the old lady.
Wei Lanxin heard that Zheng Shufeng called her to accompany the old lady, but she didn't know how to say it, but Ji Ziqian said, "Mother just go and accompany the old lady, and I'll just go see brother Chong myself."
After all, Wei Lan felt a little worried, so she said, "In this case, let Chai Si accompany you."
Since Ji Ziqian is not suitable to bring servants this time, Wei Lanxin only brought her personal maid Ningcui and a groom, Chai Si, and at this moment, Chai Si can only be on top.
This time, the boy from yesterday led the way. Finally, yesterday's incident did not happen again today, and he arrived at the Jingxin Garden smoothly. Wei Tianchong happened to be admiring the flowers in the garden.
Seeing Wei Tianchong, Ji Ziqian stepped forward with a smile: "Brother Chong, I haven't seen you for two years. How are you doing?"
As far as Ji Ziqian is concerned, he came here to be a servant. It is really just a helpless solution. In his heart, it is impossible to treat himself like a human being. This is also his only weakness, but generally no one dares to target this weakness. use.
Because of this, when he came here today, he intends to close the relationship with Wei Tianchong by reminiscing about the past. He only talks about love, not blame. This is actually the same as Tang Jie's attitude towards Xu Muyang at the beginning. Incorrect.
It's a pity that Tang Jie saw clearly his thoughts, and it was passed to Wei Tianchong's ears through Shi Mo a day ago. In addition to what happened yesterday, Wei Tianchong really didn't have a good impression of him, so Seeing him coming at this moment, he just talked to Shi Mo beside him and ignored him. Ji Ziqian stretched out half of his hand that was going to embrace Wei Tianchong. Seeing that Wei Tianchong didn't respond, he could only pat his head awkwardly, and shrank went back.
"...By the way, the wolf pen in the study will also be replaced, remember to..."
"It has been changed, young master, it is your favorite Ziyanzhai silver needle."
"You're still clever." Wei Tianchong smiled, then turned his head to look at Ji Ziqian, and said in a very normal and normal tone: "Hey, isn't this brother Ziqian? It's been a long time. How did you think of it today?" came to see me?"
Ji Ziqian smiled and said, "Why don't you know about Brother Chong? My mother came the day before yesterday and formally requested a place in Weifu, hoping to get a place for admission. Wei's family has a place every year, and Ji's and Wei's are so close. Relationship, rather than giving it to outsiders, it is naturally better to give it to your own people."
What he said was very normal, but unfortunately it was inappropriate, because there were all "outsiders" at the moment.
Not to mention serving Mo Shimeng, even Tang Jie and other servants were there, and when they heard this, they groaned in their hearts.
Wei Tian rushed so far that he was not angry about this, but said coldly: "No one informed me, so why do I have to know?"
Ji Ziqian was taken aback, realizing that the words were wrong.
It has been two days since Ji's family came to Wei Mansion, and someone notified Wei Tianchong yesterday. It is absolutely impossible to say that Wei Tianchong didn't know. What he said can only explain one thing, that is, because he didn't know about it two days ago. Come see yourself and be dissatisfied.
But this is not a big deal, and it can be understood after an explanation. Ji Ziqian hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh, my cousin misunderstood. I needed to rest early because of the exhaustion, so I didn't come that day, didn't I come here specially yesterday..."
He didn't mention that yesterday was fine, but when Wei Tianchong mentioned yesterday, he thought about the ruler, and felt a little pain in his head, and his face immediately sank: "Yongkang City is not close to Canglong Mansion, for a quota, Didn’t the Ji family come here too? Why is Qingyang Pavilion of my Wei family farther away from my Jingxin Garden than Yongkang is from Canglong Mansion? I didn’t know that my Wei family was already so big.”
A group of boys laughed at the same time.
Ji Ziqian heard something wrong, and was about to explain again, when Wei Tianchong said: "Although the Wei family has a quota every year, there are people who ask for it every year. The relationships of various parties need to be sorted out. There are always some people who cannot be offended. Quite a few relatives took the opportunity to come to ask for opportunities. There is only one quota, but what they want is more than a hundred years, so it is not just any cat or dog who can come and take it away. I don’t know why Ziqian came to get this Quota?"
Ji Ziqian was furious when he heard this.
He knew that he had offended Wei Tianchong unintentionally, but he didn't know how deeply he offended. His mother, Wei Lanxin and Wei Danbai are brothers and sisters of the same mother. They are cousins, and they can't be said to be a cat or a dog who doesn't know where they came from. Wei Tianchong has relegated him to those who hate poverty and love. Fu's distant relatives are a level up.
His Ji family is well-known in Yongkang anyway. When Wei Lanxin married his father, the Wei family was not so prominent. The two families were well-matched at that time, why are they now a cat and a dog?
But he also knew that he couldn't offend Wei Tianchong now, so he could only hold back his anger and reply: "The Ji family didn't take the quota for nothing, Ziqian came here this time, and entered as a servant."
"So that's the case." Wei Tian laughed loudly: "Then I blamed you wrongly."
Ji Ziqian was overjoyed when he heard it, and thought that it would be fine if the matter was clarified, but Wei Tian rushed forward and clapped his hands the next moment: "Since you are a servant, that means you are here to be a servant? That's fine, Shi Mo , Teach him the rules, let him know what to do in the future."
"What?" Ji Ziqian stayed on the spot as if struck by lightning.
Wei Tianchong turned around and left.
Shi Mo smiled and walked up, stood in front of Ji Ziqian and said, "Master Ji... oh, no, I should call you Ziqian now. There are not many rules in the house, but each one is very important. As a servant , first of all, you have to understand the superiority of elders and children, so this first rule, when you see the young master in the future, you can no longer call him brother Chong or cousin, but just like us, call him young master..."
Ji Ziqian was completely dumbfounded.
Shi Mo's voice continued: "Besides, what's the matter with being a servant and taking servants with you? The servant behind Ziqian has muddy legs that came out of nowhere. Let him leave the mansion, don't dirty the ground of this meditation garden, my Wei manor can't afford to lose this man..."
—————————
Here, Wei Tian rushed back into the room, stuck out his tongue and said, "Shimeng, was my performance just okay?"
But the arrogance just now was gone.
"That's natural. The young master's performance is absolutely nothing to say. Anyone who sees him will say that the young master's words are reasonable and his advances and retreats are measured." Shi Meng took the opportunity to flatter him.
Wei Tianchong heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good. But tell me, aren't we a bit overdue? He is also my cousin after all. I always feel that something is wrong for him to call me young master."
Shi Meng smiled and said: "You didn't let him call you young master, you just let him learn the rules. Isn't it normal for a servant to learn some basic rules? Even if he is a distinguished guest from outside , I have to remind you which places you can go and which places you can't. As for the specific content of the rules, they are all taught by Shi Mo, so what does it have to do with you? It was Shi Mo who thought he was self-righteous and asked him to call you young master..."
"But how can I promise him when he calls me young master?"
"I'm used to it, and I don't care. How can you tell me you didn't open your mouth, young master? He, Ji Ziqian, came here as a servant. He abides by the rules. If he is willing to call you young master, it can't be considered a violation of the rules, right? What can't you bear?" of?"
"That's true." Wei Tianchong nodded: "Fortunately, my aunt is not here today. If she is here, I can't say that."
Wei Lanxin was his own aunt, and if he asked his cousin to call him young master in front of his own aunt, he couldn't do it.
That's the same as the teaching chair, and he has the right to beat him.
People will have an innate awe psychologically for all those who have the right to beat themselves up!
Shi Meng giggled: "Since you are here to be a servant, it's better not to see this family if you can see them in the future. Rules are rules. If someone comes here casually, there will be no rules, so what's the need for rules? So This rule, the young master of the Ji family must abide by it, and the wife of the Ji family must also abide by it!"
"Let my aunt obey the rules?" Wei Tianchong shouted, "Are you kidding, it's impossible!"
Shi Meng lowered his head and said: "Grandma naturally doesn't have to abide by the rules of the Jingxin Garden, but the rules of the Wei Mansion must be obeyed."
