Regarding his son's initiative to ask such a question, Uncle Gong Jian answered his question happily.
"This is not the kitchen knife at home. That, um, is not at home now." As soon as he said this, Uncle Gong Jian wanted to slap himself in the face. What happened, he forgot about it. He didn't care just now.
He told me that my mother-in-law went to town to buy a kitchen knife, but how could he explain that she still wanted to buy a kitchen knife when she clearly had a kitchen knife at home?
Although Gong Yaozu was a little strange when he heard it, he immediately thought of the problem of the kitchen knife at home. Seeing his father's hesitation, Gong Yaozu knew that his father wanted to hide it from him, and they went to the palace.
The Jian family left for a while but left the kitchen knife there.
Not wanting to give up this opportunity, Gong Yaozu wanted to take advantage of this matter and ask his father to explain the specific situation to him. After all, what he was more concerned about now was whether Gong Jian's family was already a family as his father said.
The building was empty when people left, not even a thing was left behind.
So Gong Yaozu didn't wait for Uncle Gong Jian to think of a good excuse, and said directly: "Okay, dad, I know everything. You and my mother went to Gong Jian's house. And then you accidentally left the kitchen knife behind
There, so now my mother is cooking at home and she doesn’t have a kitchen knife to use.”
Uncle Gong Jian was still a little embarrassed to hear his son reveal the matter so openly. But after a while, he figured it out. His son had been thinking about carrying a ladder and going to Gong Jian's house last night. Naturally, it was
We already know that the two of them went to Gong Jian's house and left the kitchen knife there.
However, Uncle Gong Jian, who was still a little ashamed when talking about this matter, could only make excuses for himself: "Well, that's not because your uncle and his family have not come back since they went out in the first month.
It's been a month, and your mother and I are also very worried and uneasy. Now, I want to go to his house to see if there are any clues about where his house has gone, so that everyone can feel at ease. Don't
Don’t be anxious anymore.”
When Gong Yaozu heard his father's words, he curled his lips in disdain. His father could really do something, but for his son, he actually used such an excuse that no one would believe.
He was about to ask his father if Gong Jian's house was really as described by his mother. There was nothing in the house, but before he could ask, he heard Uncle Gong Jian ask instead.
things he did.
"Yao Zu, did you move the ladder out last night? Did you go to Gong Jian's house to get the kitchen knife back?"
Uncle Gong Jian's words almost scared Gong Yaozu to the point of sitting on the ground. He never expected that his father would figure out this matter so quickly and directly ask him about it. This time
But Gong Yaozu was truly shocked.
He also felt that he was careful in what he did and was not discovered. Although he did not achieve his goal, he obviously did not leave any obvious doubts. Otherwise, the group of people stayed in the yard for so long last night.
, and no one associated this matter with themselves.
He was still complacent at first, feeling that although he had underestimated the weight of the ladder at the beginning, an accident occurred during the operation and he was badly hit. But at least he could finish the job without making anyone suspicious.
On his head.
But his father's question was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, taking off his last fig leaf.
Now it was Gong Yaozucheng's turn to hesitate. He hesitated for a long time, and in the end he didn't know how to answer this question. Do you want to admit the things he did? He felt blushing when he said it, and he couldn't do anything.
However, it caused a lot of trouble to the family.
But if he denies it, his father will not be able to pass this test. If his father can ask this question, it means that his father has determined that he was the one who did what happened yesterday, and there is no point in denying it.
After hesitating for a long time, Gong Yaozu didn't say either yes or no. Looking at his look, Uncle Gong Jian sighed again, and then said: "Hey, it took me a long time to figure it out. You
This child is really too honest. He must not be like this in the future. He must learn to be flexible."
Uncle Gong Jian's words made Monk Gong Yaozu confused even more. He originally thought that his father had figured out his behavior, and he didn't know that his father would beat him afterwards.
He still scolded him. But what he never expected was that his father would actually say: He is too honest. Such words.
Gong Yaozu looked up at Uncle Gong Jian in disbelief. He didn't understand where his words came from. But his appearance seemed to confirm what Uncle Gong Jian said. In Uncle Gong Jian's words,
In his eyes, his little son is really too honest and honest.
Looking at him like this, I probably never thought that I could see his actions clearly. After reacting for a while, I didn't know how to face myself, so I was dumbfounded.
Looking at myself, I am at a loss.
Uncle Gong Jian felt a sense of pity in his heart. From now on, he has to teach his little son how to be flexible when doing things, but he can't do something as dangerous as last night, otherwise it will harm his life.
Reputation, how can I be an official in the future?
Thinking of this, Uncle Gong Jian's tone became softer. He looked at his youngest son with some affection, and then said: "Yao Zu, you have to remember that you are a scholar, and your reputation is
More important than anything else. How can you do this kind of thing in the future?
Don’t get involved. If you have any plans or ideas in the future, remember to tell your parents first and let us check it for you. After all, we are older than you and have experienced many things. Besides, in this world,
The people who are least likely to harm you are your parents."
Uncle Gong Jian's words moved Gong Yaozu a little. For a moment, he really remembered a lot of things, such as his father's tall figure and his mother's loving eyes when he was a child. Over the years, his family had provided him with education and devoted himself to him.
Purchasing various things. He really had some impressions of how good his parents were to him, but then he remembered the severe beating his father had given him a few days ago, and how his mother was too stupid to do it.
