Zhao Rong has always believed that scholars should be like his father since he was a child. Every day he would spend time in the study room appreciating the masterpieces of this writer, or adding fragrance to his red sleeves, or going out or inviting friends to drink and talk about romance.
Zhao Rong had a lawless character when he was a child. When he was a child, his ancestors protected him at home. No one dared to say a word to him even if he made the biggest mistake. This resulted in Zhao Rong being able to run freely.
When he was running around, no matter where he wanted to go, in the front or back yard of his home, there was no place that could stop him.
So when he was young, Zhao Rong would often go to his father's study to peek and see what his father was doing in the study. After all, when they were in the backyard, Zhao Rong was no longer interested in what his mother and brothers and sisters were doing on a daily basis. On the contrary, he was
Zhao Rong was even more curious about this father who was often in the study and rarely in the backyard.
In addition, children will inevitably think that their father is their idol, so after Zhao Rong looked around the backyard, his target changed to his father's study in the front yard.
After a period of observation, Zhao Rong found that his father lived a very comfortable life in the study. Every day he would invite a few friends to have a drink, and then talk about some things that they thought were elegant. Or his father
While admiring the collections he had collected, my father rarely read or wrote. Even when he did draw, he would draw some inexplicable things under the service of the little maid.
In the heart of little Zhao Rong, this is what scholars are like, and reading is actually a pleasure. But as he grew older, Zhao Rong finally entered the school and was disciplined by his husband to study. Only then did he realize how important reading is.
A painful thing.
Thinking back to the scene where he saw his father in the study when he was a child, Zhao Rong couldn't help but wonder whether his father could really be considered a scholar.
As he got older, Zhao Rong overheard the private conversations of some relatives, and then he realized that his father was not considered a scholar at all at home. The real scholar was the uncle who was not mentioned at home.
According to those people, the uncle has been very talented in reading since he was a child. He was much smarter than the other brothers when he was very young. He even passed the exam at a young age. If the uncle was still alive, their family would probably know how to do it.
It was many times more prosperous than it is now.
Zhao Rong has never met his uncle. I heard from those people that his uncle's family encountered robbers when they were traveling abroad, which led to the death of the family. At that time, the uncle's family still relied on their own family for their funeral arrangements.
My parents went to apply for it.
Those people would always sigh at the end of the story. It was a pity that such an amazing and talented person passed away like this.
Originally, when Zhao Rong heard these words, he just suppressed them in his heart. In his opinion, no matter how smart and talented the uncle was, he was really far away from him.
At home, because of his mother's warning, no one even mentioned the topic of his uncle's family. This was also the day when he heard his second brother mention that his eldest brother was so smart and studious, and he had already passed the exam at a young age, and even came to participate.
The Juren Examination touched upon something that Zhao Rong had been hiding deep in his heart.
And taking advantage of Gong Yu's opportunity to know about his family's situation, Zhao Rong directly said all the words he had buried deep in his heart.
For Gong Yu, Zheng Rong's words did not touch him in any way. After all, the reason why he inquired about Zhao Rong's family was just to find out more about the relationship between Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao's master and servant.
What is the contradiction?
Regarding what Zhao Rong said about his family composition, in addition to the grandmother whom Zhao Rong specially introduced just now, when he talked about his uncle and parents, you can know from Zhao Rong's tone that these people are related to Zhao Rong's family.
The relationship is very ordinary.
Although Gong Yu is a little strange, how can he have a child who is not close to his father and mother? However, he also knows that there are thousands of people in the world. He cannot judge others by himself and thinks that his family is
Whatever it looks like, other families will be similar.
There are couples who care about their children and love their families like their own parents. At the same time, there are also people who abandon their wives and children and are not willing to start a family at all. Therefore, Gong Yu did not respond to Zhao Rong's cold tone when introducing his parents.
He didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Zhao Rong's parents were not too close to Zhao Rong because of their personalities.
In any case, Zhao Rong is standing in front of him alive now, and it can be seen from his temper that he is not someone who takes offense, so Gong Yu is not worried about his life at home.
After introducing the situation of the uncle's family, Zhao Rong found that Gong Yu did not react much, but was still listening quietly. Xiao Tao, who was standing by the side, looked paler than before, and he was biting tightly.
His lower lip felt like he was biting it to bleed, and his whole body was trembling, fearing that he would make any sound.
Seeing Xiao Tao's average performance, Zhao Rong glanced at Xiao Tao strangely. He didn't understand why Xiao Tao had such a huge reaction. But then, he remembered that the topic of the uncle's family at home was also a taboo for his parents. So Xiao Tao was afraid.
Just because he brought up a sensitive topic, Xiao Tao must be afraid that he won’t be able to explain to his parents when he goes back. Thinking of this, Zhao Rong snorted coldly and turned his head away from Xiao Tao.
Zhao Rong felt better now that he no longer saw the annoying Xiao Tao. He continued to tell Gong Yu about the situation at home: "The elders in my family include the third uncle and the third aunt. They are all very kind, although the third uncle manages
She is responsible for the household affairs and business. The third aunt is gentle and generous, but she is not in good health and has to rest for half of the year."
When Zhao Rong introduced his third uncle and third aunt, he was a little helpless. The third uncle and third aunt were all amiable, but they were too busy on their own. Every day they wished they could separate themselves and deal with things at home and business matters.
Various interactions. The other person, because of poor health, often had to recuperate in the yard and could not entertain guests. Therefore, the time he had contact with his uncle and aunt was relatively short.
But even if they rarely have the opportunity to talk, every time they meet, the third uncle and the third aunt have a very gentle attitude towards themselves and other children, and do not act like their elders. The children like them prefer to be close to the third uncle and the third aunt.
aunt.
After talking about the elders, the next generation belongs to the children. Zhao Rong continued to introduce the brothers and sisters in the family: "I just said that our family is a big family, mainly because I have many brothers and sisters." (Unfinished)
