Kou Ji was stunned, "I visited famous doctors, is it related to the suppression of bandits?"
Liu Heng scratched his head, "It is said that they are gangsters from Bianjing City to Huazhou..."
Kou Ji suddenly realized.
He understood Kou Zhun's intention.
Kou Zhun probably knew what happened to him all the way from Huazhou to Bianjing, so he took advantage of Wang Shu's trip to the capital to help him get revenge.
At this moment, Kou Ji recognized Kou Zhun as his grandfather.
A grandfather who knows how to protect his calf is a good grandfather.
After Kou Ji learned about what happened outside the palace, his eyes fell on the children on the second floor of Wende Building.
"Who are they?"
Except for Liu Heng and Zhao Yiyi, he didn't know anyone else here.
Liu Heng knew that Kou Ji had just arrived in Bianjing not long ago and did not know the heirs of the powerful families in Bianjing, so he patiently explained to Kou Ji.
"The little fat man sitting behind the crown prince is Shi Yu from the Shi family."
"That thin and frail guy is the little guy, Gao Jicheng from the Gao family."
"The one sitting upright, the oldest one besides you and me, is Cao Yi from the Cao family."
"The one taking a nap is Pan Su from the Pan family."
"The one with the rolling eyes is Li Weixian from the Li family."
"The youngest one sitting at the end is Zhao Yunchu from the Eighth Prince's Palace."
"..."
Kou Ji looked at the little guys, then at Liu Heng, and sighed, "I'm the only outsider?!"
you do not say!
Everyone here is a relative of the emperor, except Kou Ji.
The old Zhao family also spent money to win over Wu Xun.
Either he married a daughter from Wu Xun's family, or he married his daughter into Wu Xun's family.
It has only been a few decades, and the children of Wu Xun's family are more or less related to the royal family.
After all, Kou Ji is the only outsider.
Liu Heng was stunned and said with a smile: "If you are willing to marry a princess or have a daughter to marry the prince, you can also become a relative of the emperor."
Kou Ji curled his lips, wanting to say something that was not too unusual.
Kou Ji chatted with Liu Heng for a few more words.
The old man sitting in the middle suddenly stopped teaching and looked at Kou Ji.
Seeing this, Kou Ji hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "Kou Ji, I have seen Mr...."
The old man was stunned and curled his lips and said: "Sir... How am I worse than Li Di?"
Kou Ji was stunned, not understanding what the old man meant.
The old man did not explain, but took out a paperweight from his sleeve and threw it to Kou Ji.
"I heard that your kid is born in the year of Pixiu. When you meet your elders, you must get a greeting gift. I gave you a greeting gift, a jade lion paperweight. It was given by the official. It's not worth a lot of money. Just use it for fun.
When you meet Kou Zhun later, don't accuse me of being cunning and stingy."
Kou Ji held the jade lion paperweight in his arms, his thoughts changing rapidly.
The old man in front of him was obviously an elder, and he was very familiar with Kou Zhun.
It's just that he doesn't know who the old man is or how to call him.
The old man seemed to notice Kou Ji's embarrassment, and immediately said: "My surname is Xiang, Xiang Minzhong, Tian is Zuopushe, and is a bachelor of Zhaowen Hall. I was a Jinshi in the same year as your grandfather Kou Zhun."
Xiang Minzhong?
This is a powerful figure, who has endured two dynasties and has always been favored by the saints.
In the fifth year of Taiping Xingguo's reign, he was promoted to the rank of Jinshi. During the Xianping period, he was promoted to Tongping Zhangshi, Grand Bachelor of Jixian Palace, and formally paid homage to the prime minister. After being appointed, he declined guests and kept the door quiet, which was praised by Zhao Heng. Later, he bought Xue Juzheng's house and
He competed with Zhang Qixian to marry Xue Weiji's widow, but was accused of "disrespecting clean conduct". He was demoted to Minister of Household Affairs and sent to the Yongxing Army. After that, he went to guard local places many times and served as a guard in Tokyo twice. He was famous for his diligence in political affairs and his maturity and prudentness.
In addition, his family was strict.
His five sons, under his training, successively passed the Jinshi examination and now hold important positions in the court.
Kou Ji quickly raised his hands and said, "Kou Ji, I have met Grandpa Xiang."
Xiang Minzhong stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
Kou Ji raised his hands and asked again: "Grandpa Xiang, who told you that I am Pixiu? I am definitely not that kind of person."
Xiang Minzhong was stunned and laughed loudly, "Why are you asking about this? Do you want to take revenge? I tell you, it was Li Di's guy who said it. If you have the courage to beat him up, I will help you avoid all troubles.
"
When Kou Ji heard this, he smiled dryly.
Xiang Minzhong curled his lips when he saw this, "Are you scared? You guys are so boring."
Xiang Minzhong waved his hand, beckoned Kou Ji to come to him, slowly raised his face, and said: "We've finished talking about personal matters, it's time to talk about business matters. Stretch out your hand!"
Kou Ji was stunned, and when he saw Xiang Minzhong taking out a ruler, his eyes immediately widened.
Kou Ji quickly looked at Zhao Yiyi.
Zhao Yiyi pouted his mouth and shook his head.
Xiang Minzhong looked at the table with a ruler and said calmly: "Don't ask anyone to help you, no one can help you. Even if the officials come, I will still do it."
Kou Ji said with a grimace, "Young man didn't do anything wrong."
Xiang Minzhong glared and scolded: "You didn't do anything wrong? I'm teaching you, but you dare to be late. If not, who will hit you?"
"I……"
"Hands out!"
Kou Ji could only stretch out his hand and let Xiang Minzhong take a few blows.
After Xiang Minzhong whipped Kou Ji, he put down the ruler and asked, "Why are you late?"
Kou Ji opened his mouth, intending to say that he was sleepy, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind.
"After the boy got up, he was stopped by a group of eunuchs and was delayed."
When Xiang Minzhong heard this, he was not happy. He looked at Kou Ji's official uniform and said, "You can be considered a scholar after all, but you are still an official of the imperial court, a mere eunuch, and a servant, how dare you stop you?
Tell me who it is, I will go back and ask the officials if that eunuch dares to be so bold."
Kou Ji hurriedly said: "Guo Huai..."
Hearing this, Xiang Minzhong frowned and said angrily: "It's this guy again. Last time I taught, he called the prince away, and he dares to stop you this time. I must teach him a lesson."
Xiang Minzhong glanced at Kou Ji, Zhao Yiyi and others, and said coldly: "This article I just taught you, please read it carefully, I will come back as soon as you go."
Kou Ji opened his mouth and stared dumbfoundedly at Xiang Minzhong, carrying the ruler and walking down the Wende Building.
"Is this old man so fierce?"
Kou Ji said in astonishment.
Liu Heng said from the side: "Xiang Xiang is seriously ill and has been rejected by the officials several times. Now he is causing trouble for the officials. But my father said that he did this to provide for his sons.
Make room for him. Once he is there, it will be difficult for his sons to climb up the ladder."
"This is too..."
"Too aggressive?"
"In terms of prowess, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, your grandfather was the most prolific."
This was said by Zhao Yiyi.
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Yiyi, who said seriously: "My father said this..."
In the Song Dynasty, it seemed that only civil servants dared to cause trouble for the officials...
Kou Ji opened his mouth and sighed in his heart.
It was great to be a civil servant in the Song Dynasty...
Kou Jili lowered his head and looked at the official uniform on his body, and he was happy.
"How can I say it? I can be considered a civil servant..."
"Cao Yi of the Cao family has met Brother Kou."
Cao Yi was older and more sensible, so he stood up and got close to him.
Kou Ji looked at him, stunned, and smiled in return, "Brother Cao is polite... read less Taoist classics from now on..."
Cao Yi was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Kou Ji's words.
Kou Ji didn't say much.
Shi Yu, Pan Su, Li Weixian and Gao Jicheng paid tribute to Kou Ji one after another.
Kou Ji returned the gift with his hand.
The last person to salute Kou Ji was Zhao Yunchu from the Eighth Prince's Palace.
The little guy is not very old, but when he gives gifts, he is meticulous and a perfect replica of Zhao Yiyi.
Kou Ji chatted with them for a while, telling some short stories and amusing them.
Everyone gradually became familiar with each other, and they were no longer as unfamiliar as before. Several people sat together and chatted about the interesting things they had experienced.
