Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2 Partial House Nobles
After trying on the clothes, Gongsun Xu smiled at his mother.Because he was an orphan in his previous life, Gongsun Xu was not used to it when he suddenly had a mother. He was lonely for too long and suffered too many injuries. It took time to warm up.

"Xu'er, I've grown up a lot recently, very much like your father. After more than three years, your father is finally finishing his studies. We won't have to be bullied in the future. Sigh, you are still young and don't understand That's fine, adults' affairs will be resolved by adults."

Hearing what his mother said, Gongsun Xu thought of his own family. Although he didn't go out much in the past three years and didn't know the outside news, there were only three servants in the family. They were an old couple and a maid. The maid was married to his mother Those who come here, the old couple can't do much work, and their mother is kind-hearted. If other wealthy families probably don't need this kind of old servant.

I heard from my mother that my father can explain this matter. The old couple watched their father grow up, and the kindness of a drop of water is reciprocated. This is Gongsun Xu's only impression of this father who has not met.

"Ma'am, they are here again." The servant girl ran in suddenly and said, after a while, there was a voice at the door: "I said, this old account should be understood." As soon as the voice fell to the door, there appeared A fat man in his 40s, followed by a follower.The fat man walked in and said, "Ma'am, this is my third visit this year, do you think it's time to pay off the money owed?" The fat man had a fat head and big ears, and his face was full of smiles.

"Steward Qin, can you wait another two months? My master is going home soon, and he will definitely pay you back when he comes back."

"Oh, ma'am, it's not that I'm unreasonable, but you know that I'm just a thug, and I'm pressed hard by the superiors. If I keep failing to pay the bill, I won't be able to explain it. Besides, your Gongsun's family is also the same. Aristocrats from aristocratic families don’t even have this small amount of money, let me tell you, we have never seen any random things in your house, Madam, don’t embarrass the little ones.”

"I know, Steward Qin, don't worry, I will pay you back in two months. The people in my Gongsun family keep their word."

"Okay then, I'll plead with the higher-ups again, ma'am, I can't delay any longer." After finishing speaking, the fat man left.

"Well, it's still a dignified Gongsun family. Unexpectedly, some of them are rich and powerful, while others are poor and lonely." Gongsun Xu knew why his mother was sighing. Many, after my father traveled far away, it was difficult for my mother to support a family alone. Fortunately, my grandfather and a few uncles would often provide support, but it was always limited. My grandfather was an official in other places.I don't know the situation here. Several uncles are serving in the army, and the family has to support them. It's not easy.The mother pinned everything on the father. In ancient times, women always relied on men spiritually.

"Ma'am, why don't I go to the master's house to borrow some, the master likes you so much, he definitely doesn't want you to live a hard life." The maid said beside her, of course the master she said meant her own grandfather, which is strange to say, My grandfather is an official, and I am a famous family, but these days are not very rich, this is also the tragedy of my life.

"Huan'er, don't go. It's not that you don't know that it's not easy for my father to be an official. Although he is a prefect of a county, when did his family ever get rich? Liaodong has been a bitter and cold place since ancient times, and many people can't eat enough Fan, Daddy has been doing his duty since he became the prefect. Although the people under his rule live better, there are still many poor people living in a difficult life. Daddy also lost all his wealth, and life at home is not easy. If I go to give him Isn't it unfilial to cause trouble, and we can solve this trivial matter, besides, my husband will come back soon, and my husband will find a solution." Huan'er nodded after hearing this, and the wife said so, of course, the only girl who is obedient portion.

Although Gongsun Xu has not communicated with others in the past few years, he still learned a lot. From the conversations between his mother and others, he knew that his grandfather was the prefect. He must be a big official, but he rarely met. This grandfather is also responsible for his duties as an official. Although his ability is not outstanding, he is also a good official who benefits one party.My father has been studying abroad for the past three years and has never returned home. People in ancient times should be like this. In order to concentrate on studying, they must abandon their children's personal relationships. Perhaps this is a manifestation of ambitious people in ancient times Well, it’s like Dayu’s control of the floods, he went through the house three times and didn’t enter. If he didn’t make some achievements, who would want to return to his hometown if he couldn’t honor his ancestors?However, Gongsun Xu himself still doesn't know what kind of dynasty he is in, and he can't ask him face to face. Although there are many children who can speak fluently at the age of two or three, when they come up, they ask questions about topics that adults can discuss. Taking this child is too monstrous, Gongsun Xu only wants to live the life of an ordinary person.

But listen to your mother.My Gongsun family should be a famous family.What dynasty was the Gongsun family a famous family? Gongsun Xu couldn't remember it. Although he had studied a lot of history, he was not enough to study the great families in history. Besides, who knew how many great families there were in history? Where is it.Let alone that much.You'll know when your father comes back, and see what kind of person your father will be.How did the children of the aristocratic families get into this situation? You must know that the reason why the aristocratic families in ancient times were called aristocratic families was because the family had its own family education system, and the children of their own family generally would not let others teach them.If this is said, the patriarch of this family will lose face.

After thinking about it, Gongsun Xu found that someone was touching his head, and when he looked up, it was his mother.He was looking at himself with a smile, and to be honest, although he felt uncomfortable, this feeling of maternal love made Gongsun Xu feel very warm and made him cherish it, "Perhaps, this is the person I want to protect in my life." " Gongsun Xu thought in his heart, "No matter what, I have her blood on my body. The blood is thicker than water. This is my mother. I didn't have the opportunity to enjoy it in my previous life. I must cherish it in this life."

"Xu'er, you look very much like your father, and your body is growing fast. The clothes you wore last month don't fit right now. It will be even more difficult if your father doesn't come back home. Xu'er grow up quickly , become a great hero like your father. Although your father is not well-known now, mother believes that he will be a hero. Your grandfather was also very optimistic about him at the beginning, so he promised mother to your father." When she was alive, Gongsun Xu's mother would always say this, maybe to Gongsun Xu, maybe talking to herself, with a happy smile on her face from time to time.

"Xu'er, you haven't eaten meat for almost four months. Mother is going to buy you some meat today. When you are growing up, you should eat more, so that you can be like your father." After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu's mother Put Gongsun Xu in the care of the old servant.I went out with the servant girl, and after an hour, Gongsun Xu heard the servant girl's voice: "Madam, why do you have to swallow your anger, a current person has bullied you, what is this, we usually don't provoke anyone Who the hell, why do they keep bullying us. Madame, you can't be so weak anymore. "

"Forget it, Huan'er, one thing more is worse than one thing less. It's just a few words. Husband will come back soon, so don't make trouble for him."

Although Gongsun Xu didn't know the situation, he guessed that his mother was bullied outside. A woman running a family business would inevitably be gossiped by others, but Gongsun Xu knew that it was mainly because of the nobleman in his family. It has something to do with the name of the noble, but there is no noble family business, there will always be some people who deliberately bully him.In his previous life, Gongsun Xu would definitely have punished these people who were just looking for trouble, but let's forget it now.Gongsun Xu thought for a while, and then reached out to his mother. This was probably the only comfort he could bring to her.
