Jiapingguan Chronicle

"How was the punishment?" Shen Zhonghe looked at Liang Jieque curiously and said with a look of disbelief, "How could my grandfather punish my second uncle so cruelly? Isn't my second uncle the person he loves most? The punishment is so severe, wouldn’t he feel distressed?”

"It hurts, but the words he said, even if he didn't know what they meant, were still intended to break the relationship between brothers. Not only did he not stop him, he took it seriously, even in front of his elder brother. He said it to his face to anger his elder brother. He has made a big mistake and also violated the family law and must be punished." Liang Jieque looked at Shen Zhonghe and said, "You also know that this is your grandfather's bottom line. .”

"I know." Shen Zhonghe nodded, "I just didn't expect that he could really do it. It's also very difficult for him, right?"

"Probably, but if you don't punish him, you will feel that you are unable to teach your son. Besides, your second uncle said such outrageous things. If you don't give him a good beating, I'm afraid he will become even more lawless in the future."

"Even after being beaten, my second uncle never changed. He was very lawless, wasn't he?"

"But at that time, he was still young, and your grandfather thought he could still manage it." Liang Jieque sighed, "If he could be managed, wouldn't it mean that he would avoid a lot of detours in the future?"

"The saying that you are older at the age of three and older at the age of seven really hit the nail on the head. What you were like when you were a child will not be much better when you grow up. If the old man could predict the future, he would have known that even if he tried to control it for a long time, he would not be able to treat the symptoms. It will cure the root cause." Xue Ruitian sneered and said, "Speaking of which, I am also very curious about how Mr. Shen will punish him. After all, he is young and has just received some stimulation. No matter how he is punished, it will bring great harm to Mr. Shen. Trauma, right? If this leaves a root, it may be difficult to heal."

"Master Hou, you don't understand my second brother. He pretends to be weak on the surface in many things, but in fact, he is just a man of steel on the inside." Liang Jieque looked at Xue Ruitian and then at Shen Haolin who was staring at him. , Chen Cha, said, "My second brother is a martial arts examiner. Although this martial arts examiner needs to practice more the day after tomorrow, innate conditions are also more important. If he is really born with a weak body, he will not be able to achieve what he wants. ,Right?"

"Yes." Shen Zhonghe nodded, "This is for sure. I didn't expect that my second uncle has known this since he was a child."

"It's not your second uncle who understands, it's the people around him who understand." Seeing what Shen Zhonghe was about to ask, Liang Jieque gently waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about your second uncle's punishment. Because he There was nothing wrong with his body, the most he felt was a slight cold, so his adoptive father held him down and beat him twenty times with his own hands."

"Twenty pieces?" Shen Zhonghe was surprised, "A child so young must not be crippled?"

"It's not the kind of board you think. It's specially used at home to establish authority for children. Therefore, the damage is not that big, but it is very painful. It allows your second uncle to remember this time well. After the beating, just go straight I sent him to a small ancestral hall and locked him up for ten days. He copied the family rules ten times to make him remember what family is and what brothers are, and not to be confused by other people's words in the future."

"Grandpa's idea is good, but it doesn't have much effect, right?" Shen Zhonghe smiled bitterly, "You will still be affected by those messy things, betraying your family and brothers."

"Your grandfather doesn't have the ability to predict the future, so he doesn't know what your second uncle will do in the future, right?" Liang Jieque sighed softly, "If he knew and could predict the future, he might be more serious. a little."

"That's true, I believe it."

"Why is this?" Grandfather's face is above all else, it is the most important thing. If anyone makes him lose face, even his second uncle, at least he will be scolded, at worst..." He spread his hands, "You saw it. After death, even the memorial tablet cannot be entered into the ancestral hall."

"No wonder!" Xue Ruitian nodded and looked at Liang Jieque, "After being punished, doesn't Second Master Shen hold any grudge in his heart?"

"We originally thought there was no such thing. After all, after he came out of the small ancestral hall, he became different from before. He really seemed to have been reborn." Liang Jieque sneered, "We are also stupid, how could it be possible in such a short time? Just change one person? How can even a child be different from before just by copying the family rules?"

"You are all kind-hearted people, so you naturally believe that he will change for the better, right?" Xue Ruitian handed Liang Jieque an orange he had just peeled and said, "If he doesn't change for the better, then it's not your problem. ”

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Liang Jieque ate a piece of orange and continued, "Besides, the second brother is very good at pretending. After he came out, he went to the elder brother to apologize, very sincerely, and knelt in front of the elder brother. He said that he should not trust the people around him, listen to the words of villains, and be alienated from his elder brother. The last thing he should not do is allow these villains to slander him. He should treat them the first time they say these things. He was beaten out and sent to the Yamen."

"When you hear it like that, it sounds like you really regret it."

"Really?" Liang Jieque saw Shen Zhonghe looking at the orange in his hand eagerly, then divided half of it and handed it to him, and continued, "Anyone who hears such words will feel that the child has learned a lesson. He will never do it again. Besides, his future behavior also proves it. But unexpectedly, he still kept this incident in his heart, and thought that he was very wronged and treated unfairly. "

"That is to say, from the beginning he felt that my father should not be alive and should not stay in this family, right?"

"That's right." Liang Jieque nodded, "It's just that he hid it very well."

"It seems that the mother and son, I mean the wet nurse and his son, have a profound influence on the second uncle." Shen Zhonghe thought for a while and said, "What are their origins? How can they be the second uncle's wet nurse at home? So? How could my grandfather, with his personality, tolerate such a person around his second uncle?"

"Because she used to be your grandmother's girl, but she went back home to get married. Then your second uncle was born, and your mother brought her back to be your second uncle's wet nurse."

"Since they are people close to my grandmother, I should treat my father and my second uncle equally, right?"

"They are different." Liang Jieque shook her head gently, "One was raised by your grandmother herself, and the other was raised by her. Which one do you think she will prefer?"
