Chapter 494 All my life
"Father, what happened at home?" Xu Jiaye hurried into the house with a look of anxiety on his face.
He is studying in the academy, and yesterday his father sent a message to the boy at home to let him go home. He asked the young man about something at home, but the young man couldn't tell.
Although he was worried, it was getting late and the gates of the city had been closed. Early this morning, he went to ask his wife for leave, and hurried home with his servant.
Seeing this, Xu's father hurriedly said: "It's nothing, nothing, I don't worry." He loudly ordered the servants to serve tea and play the fan.
How can Xu Jiaye have thoughts? Confused, "Father, since there is nothing at home, why did you call me back?"
He didn’t play this year, but he did last year. In fact, he had the mentality of giving it a try. After passing the county examination, although the ranking was low, it was passed after all. He didn't pass the government and college exams later, and the master said that he was still not good enough, so let him settle down and study for a few more years, a scholar can still be selected.
He is only sixteen this year, and his family is not bad. Even if he passes the exam, his family is willing to provide for him.
Of course, Xu Jiaye didn’t want to pass the exam at 30. Young people also have their own arrogance, so he just wanted to work harder and strive to become a scholar before the weak crown. So he studied very hard in the academy, and his family knew what he was thinking, so why did he call him home for no reason?
Xu's father smiled and asked him: "Jiaye, your classmate when you were young was the kid from the Yu family in the alley. Do you remember him?"
"Dad said Yu Xizhou?" Xu Jiaye was suspicious, it was the most impressive stroke in his childhood, how could he not remember it?
"Yes, yes, yes, it's called Yu Xizhou, I remember what it's called." Xu's father seemed to remember it.
"What's wrong with him?" Seeing his father's happy face, Xu Jiaye was even more puzzled, "I was a classmate with him for a year, and then he left."
Xu's father said happily: "He's back. He came back with his mother yesterday. That child looks really good. He's riding on a tall horse with a face like a jade crown. Tsk tsk, he really deserves to be the son of the Hou Mansion." He didn't What I saw with my own eyes was told by people in the alley.
But Xu's father believed it, the child was born well when he was young, like a golden boy, how can he be bad when he grows up?
"Father just thought about it. Back then, you were classmates with the child from the Yu family, and you played very well. Now that he is back, as a playmate when you were young, why don't you go and see him?" Father Xu said to his son like this .
"Father." Xu Jiaye frowned, with a look of disapproval, "Father, how long ago did this happen, and people probably have forgotten it by now. It's not good for us to go there recklessly!"
"What's wrong?" Xu's father disagreed, "You two are friends, and you are rude if you don't come. Hurry up, daddy has prepared the presents for you. You carry them and go to the rest of the house." Home."
"Father!" Xu Jiaye stood still, he understood what father meant, but... "He is a noble son of the Hou family, we are ordinary people, and I don't know if he recognizes us, so I just climbed up like this, I, I became Who is it?" He looked agitated, with the embarrassment of a young man in his agitation.
"Family business! Dad knows you can't hide your face, but think about it, you are dad's son, can dad cheat you? Dad is doing it for your own good." Xu's father tried to persuade him, "You said it too, it's Hou Mr. Fu, with such a family background, such a noble person, we can't reach it when we jump up. Isn't this the friendship of classmates when we were young? If someone is willing to remind you a sentence or a sentence, it will be enough for you to study hard for several years. "
My son is still too young. When he reaches his age, he will know that face is not worth money, and the most important thing is to get benefits. He is in the silk business, so one day he won't be able to make someone smile? Grandchildren have to pretend when necessary. If he cared about face, the whole family would have starved to death.
"Jiaye, that kid wasn't domineering when he was a child. His old man lived in our alley and never bullied others, so the juniors taught by the elders are generally not bad. If you come to visit, he will be colder at most. What does it matter? If he still remembers the love he had when he was a child, wouldn't we earn it? Family business, go, father will not harm you. "
Just as the father and son saw each other, a young servant rushed in, "Master, Master, here is a visitor. The young master from the Yu family has come to find the young master..."
Xu's father was startled, and immediately became happy, "Quick, come in, please. This is a distinguished guest, and I have to greet him in person." After walking two steps, he realized something was wrong, turned his head to see his son still standing there, and immediately hated him. Iron does not make steel, and he scolded: "What are you still doing there? The dignified prince of the Houfu came to the door of our house, it can be seen that he still recognizes you, why don't you hurry up and welcome people in."
"Oh, oh." Only then did Xu Jiaye come back to his senses, and hurriedly turned around and walked out. He walked out in a hurry and almost tripped. Seeing Xu's father, he wanted to replace him.
"Xu Jiaye!"
"Yu Xizhou!"
Xu Jiaye, who was still flustered, suddenly stopped panicking. The two teenagers looked at each other, and then both laughed. In the laughter, the strangeness gradually melted away, and they seemed to have become little children again.
After entering the Xu family, it is natural to meet the elders of the Xu family first. Whether it is Xu's father, Xu's mother or Xu's grandma, they are all full of praise for Wen Xizhou. Especially Xu's father, who is very enthusiastic about Wen Xizhou, and his compliments are not repeated, and he can't wait to boast.
The praise made Xu Jiaye feel embarrassed looking at his childhood friend, but Wen Xizhou had a humble and gentle appearance from the beginning to the end.
"My father is like that, don't mind." Xu Jiaye explained with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, Uncle Xu is very kind." He is also a good father.
The two arrived at Xu Jiaye's study room, and after they sat down, Xu Jiaye said: "I really didn't expect you to come to see me." The academy where he studied also had official sons, their eyes were higher than the top, and they never looked at him straight Merchant's son.
"I think I was the boss in Guanmao Alley back then, and I was invincible all over the alley. You are all my younger brothers. Why, now that I grow up, I don't recognize the boss?"
The young man raised his eyebrows, his posture wild.
Xu Jiaye's lips trembled, his face moved, "Admit it! One day you will be the boss, and you will be the boss forever!" This was their childhood rhetoric.
"It's more or less the same." Wen Xizhou sat upright, "I heard Master Kang said that you study in an academy outside the city, how about that academy?"
"Have you visited Mrs. Kang?" Xu Jiaye was surprised. After all, Mrs. Kang had only taught him for a year, so it was rare for him to go to see him on purpose.
Wen Xizhou hummed, "I went back to Beijing last year for the exam. During the Chinese New Year, I went to see Mr. Kang, and I heard from him that you have gone to Baihe Academy outside the city. My grandfather lives here, and I have been here before. I’ve been here a few times, but unfortunately you’re not here.”
Xu Jiaye was even more surprised, "Have you come to my house to look for me?"
Wen Xizhou shook his head, "My housekeeper knows when the academy is on vacation and when you come home." After a pause, he said again: "When you came back today, someone in my family saw it, otherwise why would I come to you Woolen cloth?"
Xu Jiaye looked at Shangwen Xizhou's calm eyes. He knew that what he said was true, so he was even more moved.
He is no longer an ignorant child, they have been separated long ago, but Yu Xizhou still misses him like this, he has recognized this boss all his life.
