Chapter 595597. Past Events
Hua Shunming stopped staring at the man because of his tactfulness.
Le San, "If you have something to say, please report it. If you don't, please leave the court."
The ministers: “…” Just order them to leave.
It seems that they are just a group of clowns today and they have to leave after the show is over.
And the only spectator today seemed to be dissatisfied with the show and was unwilling to even smile.
Cao Xiangqian waited until everyone knelt down and greeted them, then walked slowly behind the crowd.
I wanted to avoid these people, but I didn't expect that Yu Ligao would still target me.
"Lord Cao, you used to leave court the fastest. What happened today?"
"I'm old, and my legs and feet don't move very well," Cao walked even slower, putting some distance between himself and the person in front of him.
Yu Ligao also cooperated with his actions, "These people nowadays are all promoting the virtuous without avoiding relatives, and they want to praise the younger generations of their families to the sky. Now, the emperor has directly dispelled their wishful thinking with one move."
Cao Xiangqian did not answer, but walked forward silently.
Yu Ligao didn't mind, "What do you think they will do next?"
Cao Xiangqian stopped and looked at him, "Master Yu, you think too highly of me. I am an old general who is about to be buried, a warrior, how can I understand your twists and turns?
If you have any questions, you should talk to a civil official. He will know more than a reckless man like me."
Yu Ligao chuckled, "Master Cao, you are too modest. If you are a reckless man, then the rest of us are ruffians.
I heard that several of your sons have become successful now. I guess it will be time for them to return home soon, right?"
Cao Xiangqian had a calm expression on his face. "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I have fulfilled my responsibility by raising them. As for what path they want to take, I can't control it."
Yu Ligao cursed in his heart, "You are too modest. Nowadays, everyone knows that you are far-sighted. When the civil and military officials in the court were not doing well, your children and grandchildren have already made a lot of money."
Cao Xiangqian said, "That can't be helped. These guys are neither good at literature nor martial arts. All I expect of them is to have a place to stay and a skill.
In the past, you were all laughing at the joke, saying that I had sent those naughty kids in our family to work as waiters.
In fact, I want to tell you that there is no distinction between noble and humble professions in this world. It just depends on whether you treat it with your heart. "
Seeing Cao Xiangqian's raised mouth, Yu Ligao knew how proud he was.
But what he said was true. Everyone was laughing at the joke behind his back, but they didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly and so hard.
It was difficult for others to get a share of Haimao, but this old fox not only seized the opportunity first, but also stuffed several of his grandsons in.
Other families had also thought about learning from old fox Cao's method and stuffing those illegitimate brothers from the next door into the family. However, Gu Wenheng had already built Lucheng like an iron barrel, and not a single one of them succeeded.
"Don't you have any idea about going to Lucheng?"
Cao Xiangqian stared at him jokingly, "Do you think my old arms and legs are still useful?"
"Oh, you are still strong and healthy. Didn't you personally go into battle two years ago? Now that it's just the two of us, I won't fight for those two positions. You don't have to hide it from me."
Cao Xiangqian stopped pretending and strode out of the palace, causing Yu Ligao, who hadn't reacted in time, to want to catch up with him. However, he only saw his back.
“This old guy was pretending to be like that before, and I almost got fooled.
In the court, even a warrior is not easy, this officialdom is difficult. "
He raised his legs and chased in the direction where Cao Xiangqian disappeared. He really had no bad intentions, he was just curious and asked a few more questions.
But now it seems that he has backfired and has been misunderstood. If he could catch up, he would still like to explain a few words.
But even if he hurried as fast as he could, when he arrived at the palace gate, he could only see dust behind the horse's hooves.
"Sir, are we going back home?" The Yu family's coachman waited for a long time. Seeing the old man staring at the front in a daze, he asked in a low voice.
"Let's go back," Yu Ligao smiled and shook his head, then got into the carriage with the help of the coachman.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw Yu Yue preparing to leave, and immediately stopped him, "Stop right there. You're not home all day, where are you going now?"
Yu Yue didn't expect to be so unlucky today. He was caught as soon as he went out, "Dad, you're back.
I'm not going anywhere. I just saw that you haven't come back for a long time, so I came to the door and waited for you."
Yu Ligao snorted, "It would be better if you could use these little clever tricks on books. Now that you have been waiting for me, you have finally waited for me. Go back and study hard. If you don't pass the imperial examination this time, I will hire a few masters to keep an eye on you every day."
Yu Yue, "Dad, you know I'm not interested in this. If you want to hire a master for me, it would be best if you hire a few martial arts masters. Then I will definitely practice martial arts at home every day."
Yu Ligao, "What are you thinking? If you weren't my only child, I wouldn't bother with you.
Look at those guys from the Cao family. They are not good at literature or martial arts, but you still find a way for them to survive. What about you?
When I retire, who do you think will be able to support our family?
In a few years, you won't be able to stay in the capital anymore. I've been strong all my life, so am I going to go back to my hometown with you to farm when I'm old?"
Yu Yue laughed, "How is that possible? After all, he is a wealthy and idle man. He can't end up like a farmer."
Faced with his son's stubborn look, Yu Ligao simply grabbed his ear and walked towards the mansion.
"Dad, please let me go. I'm already an adult. If you keep doing this, I'll make a fool of myself."
"You also know how to laugh at me. You haven't made any progress in all these years. Tell me, what is one thing you have done that has made you happy since you were a child."
Yu Yue immediately complained, "How could this be missing? Have you forgotten that I was chivalrous and righteous, and I even got you a large ginseng in exchange."
Yu Ligao stopped and asked, "I seem to have some impression of this incident. Who did you save at that time?"
Yu Die said, "I saved a nanny and a few maids..."
"No, I asked you whose family you are?"
"Didn't I mention the future top scholar's family to you once before? How come you forgot?"
"Gu Wenheng?" Yu Ligao now just wanted to cover his chest. It turned out that he had been involved with Gu Wenheng before, but he did not seize the opportunity.
"It was him. I mentioned it at that time. It was rare for the other party to be so generous for a few servants.
Later, I saved a few more people, but I only received a simple thank you. "
Although he did not value these foreign things, the obvious contrast still left a deep impression on him.
Seeing that the old man's brows were getting more and more furrowed, he quickly took advantage of the old man's distraction and ran away.
