Chapter 2 Mysterious Chapter

()

I came back early today. Before the meal time, I went back to my room to read the book from yesterday.

"I was in good spirits today. It seems that this book is still useful. Even if it has no other use, it is good to stay energetic." Jin Qiu was still very satisfied.

Just as Jin Qiu was looking at it with relish, the door was suddenly pushed open. He was stunned and turned around and found that it was his mother Liu. Instead, he thought that it must be dinner time. His mother didn't see him coming to have dinner, so he came here. Usually, his mother taught himself in the front room, and he did not spoil him and rarely came to his room.

Sure enough, when Liu saw his son reading a book, he didn't even eat food, and he was a little angry.

"What book are you reading? Why did you forget the dinner time?" As he said, he reached out to take the old book in Jin Qiu's hand. Jin Qiu did not dare to disobey, nor did he want to disobey his mother. He knew that the consequences were serious, so he could only do so.

After Liu took the old book and turned two pages, he found that it was all about seeking immortals and asking for things. His strange powers and gods were in chaos. His face changed and he scolded Jin Qiu: "How did I teach you since I was a child, be honest and do things steadily. Why do you become disobedient when you are big? What's the use of reading this kind of book? It's just a mess. You don't have to eat today. Kneel all night and reflect on it."

After saying that, he threw the book directly into the burning brazier and looked at Jin Qiu. Although he still felt a little reluctant in his eyes, he still went out without saying anything.

Although Jin Qiu was a pity for this book, he was unwilling to retort his mother in anger, and replied, "Yes, the child makes the mother angry, the child knows the mistake." It can be seen that Jin Qiu is also a stubborn person. He does not think that reading the book is wrong, but just makes his mother find out and gets worried about it. After his mother goes out, she kneels not far from the brazier and is punished. She cannot suffer from the wind and cold, otherwise she will be irresponsible to herself.

It was getting darker and the weather was getting colder. It was the moon in the middle of the sky. Jin Qiu had been kneeling for the middle of the night, his legs and feet were a little numb, but he didn't get up. The man promised, how could he miss himself? He was drowsy and in a daze, he seemed to see some lights flashing in front of him. When he looked carefully, it was gone. It turned out that in the second half of the night, the fire in the brazier was extinguished, so he grabbed a few pieces of wood charcoal and threw it into the brazier in the moonlight, preparing to light it with a fire stick. It seemed that he saw a few lights flashing again, but this time he was awake. It seemed that something was flashing in the brazier, so he quickly pulled out the wood charcoal with the fire clip, and didn't care about much.

After exploring with my hands for a while, I found a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wings and the size of a palm. I looked at it intently and found that the paper was transparent, but there were many lights on it, like stars shining in the starry sky. As I looked, I felt like I was in the starry sky, and the viewer kept flying away, like flowing light, illuminating infinitely, and planets were also moving. Countless planets seemed to be fixed on different trajectories, showing the mystery of the universe and the infinite void. As more and more stars shine, they quickly filled the starry sky. Watching the stars gathered in the sky, running according to a mysterious law, people were obsessed with it and could not extricate themselves.

Just as Jin Qiu seemed to be immobile, the shining on the thin paper in his hand was like a meteor passing through the sky and flashing into the mud balls at the center of Jin Qiu's eyebrows. First, it was a little, then a few o'clock, and then a bunch, more and more, faster and faster, until all of them were introduced. The thin paper in his hand slowly dissipated after a thousand years. After a long time, Han Qiu woke up, his eyes were mixed, like the vast sky and the earth, and the years changed like a moment, and there was a trace of confusion, as if he didn't know where he was. It took a moment to truly wake up.

"Hey, why is this paper missing?" He said to himself in confusion: "Have you been kneeling for a long time, your qi and blood are not going well, your body is so weak." When Jin Qiu saw the charcoal that had not been lit in the brazier, the fire breaks on the edge, and the black and gray on his hands.

"No, there must be this piece of paper. I remember it was obtained from the brazier. Could it be because of the burned old book? But I clearly put it in my hand to watch it. Could it fly by itself? It must be something happened during the time when I was confused." Just as Jin Qiu recalled the whole story of the matter, he accidentally saw that the sky had already brightened outside the window.

"It's already early morning, I'm going to the pawn shop." So I quickly cleaned up the house, didn't care about the mysterious chapter, so I washed up and came to the front room. When I saw that my mother had already called for breakfast, a plate of steamed buns, a plate of pickles, and two bowls of porridge.

"I've been hungry all night, eat quickly. Let's talk about what I have to finish my meal." Seeing that Jin Qiu had something to say, Liu immediately said. Seeing that her son was eating voraciously, she was very happy. Although she punished Jin Qiu, Liu still loved her children very much. However, she had no father's teaching since she was a child. Liu had to try her best to play the role of a father, both as a strict father and a kind mother. It's not easy to do anything, but her son is very sensible and listens to her own words. Liu was very pleased with this. Although her son read some idle books this time, Liu punished her. Even if this matter was gone, she thought that her son would not be like this anymore. Now she is just to be a loving mother.

This is true. Jin Qiu felt that he should not read these books recently, so as not to let his mother get angry and would be bad. He knew his mother's difficulty. In this inhumane Jin Mansion, the head of the family, Jin Wang, married before the head of the family, before he became rich, he was virtuous and kind to others, and knew that he had his own shortcomings. He handed over all the trivial matters at home to the housekeeper, that is, his brother Wang Fugui. The head of the family knew that Wang was a man, so he recognized that she only ate vegetarian food at home and did not interact with other concubines. The other concubines were all intrigues and competed for power. If you want to live a better life in the Jin Mansion, these methods were indispensable.

Liu's personality is like water, and he is not as good as them. He just has a little contact with each other. Therefore, in the Jin Mansion, the courtyard where Liu and Jin Qiu live is very calm. Liu devotes all his energy to teaching his son. It can be said that Jin Qiu is everything about Liu.

Jin Qiu is also a filial child. He rarely gets angry with his mother. Even if he has different opinions, he is also a normal person in front of Liu and will not be surpassed at all. Except for his mother, he is very indifferent to everyone in the Jin family. Of course, his introverted temperament is difficult to please others. However, he is also unwilling to do things based on his original intention and does not flatter for his status or interests. He is also very good at eating simple food and food. He does not need extra thoughts, but the peace in his heart cannot be exchanged for any price.

"Mother, I've finished eating. Yesterday was a child. I hope my mother won't be angry. It's getting late, so I should go to the pawnshop." Jin Qiu said softly.

"I won't be angry. As long as you follow the right path, it's good. It's still painful on your legs. Remember this pain and follow the rules in the future. I will feel at ease. Do you understand?" Liu said it clearly, obviously he believed in the principle of filial sons under the stick.

"I understand." Jin Qiu slowly walked out of the Jin Mansion after saying that.

The days have returned to peace, but life always has a little turbulence from time to time. On the full moon night of the fifteenth month, according to the rules of the Jin family, the head of the family will summon family members to have dinner together at night in order to exchange their feelings so that everyone will not be too unfamiliar and not conducive to the management of the family. Therefore, the concubines and wives of each house, the eldest son of each house, the concubines of each house, and the eldest housekeeper Wang Fugui will also be present, and he is also considered half of the Jin family.

The dining venue is arranged in the lobby of the main hall. This is the place where Jin Mansion receives distinguished guests. It is rarely used in normal times. The hall is also magnificent, with glass lamps hanging on it. The wool carpets on the ground are said to be bought from the Western Huoluo Kingdom. They are red and very soft when stepped on. The main table is made of tables and chairs made of pear wood. There are three sets of tables and chairs arranged on both sides of the main table, but they are only mahogany. There are only tea and two plates of snacks on the table, which shows that it is not yet time to start.

Jin Qiu first helped his mother to the second table on the left, and then sat down at the second table on the right. He simply greeted the concubines who came first, nodded to the brothers at the same table, and sat down. The classmates seemed to know his temperament and didn't care. They continued to whisper their apprenticeship in the shop, which was nothing more than how the shopkeeper valued himself, how he did his job well, and so on.

Jin Qiu was bored and didn't pay attention. He looked at the hall and found that there were three people sitting on the main table. One was wearing a big red brocade robe with white background, a wooden crown, a jade belt wrapped around his waist, fair skin, arrogant face, slightly swollen eyes, one was wearing a white brocade robe with a brocade robe with a brocade robe with a gentle face, a constant smile, but his eyes were ruthless. The last one was wearing a blue robe with a Confucian crown, gentle and elegant, and smiling at the corners of his eyes. What a humble gentleman. Yes, the one in the red robe was Jin Fengxing, Master Jin,

The person in the white robe is Jin Fenghai, the second young master of the Jin family. It is said that he has a bad relationship with the eldest young master and often argues about trivial matters. The last gentle person is Jin Fengzhou, the third young master of the Jin family. This person has a very good knowledge and is praised by the master. He is also a modest, kind and rare gentleman style. Although the eldest and second young masters are jealous of his good knowledge, they show their affection for him. The eldest and second young masters have any disputes with the second brother but are unwilling to let the elders know that they are all asking the third brother to mediate, and Jin Fengzhou also has a reasonable and concise statement.

"Brother, I heard that you were jealous of the third child of the Chen family in Tianxiang Guoselou yesterday for the Qingli Girl and spent a lot of money. I wonder if it is true." Jin Fenghai said loudly on purpose.

"Second, your nose is quite good. Our family's Wangcai doesn't have this ability, haha." Jin Fengxing knew that Jin Fenghai was going to embarrass him, and ignored him and directly retorted.

"You..." Jin Fenghai didn't expect that Jin Fengxing would not follow suit and directly compared him with the dog. He was so angry that he was about to say anything, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

It seems that although this young master Jin is greedy for flowers, he is not a man.

"Brother, second brother, you don't want to say a few words, and don't look at what this place is. Do you still want all the aunts and brothers to make a joke!" Jin Fengzhou advised in a low voice.

Jin Fenghai was about to answer the conversation, but found that everyone looked outside. It turned out that the head of the Jin family led the Jin Wang family and the butler Wang Fugui followed him and came to the hall after one step.

"Hello, head of the family." Suddenly, as if it had been agreed, everyone greeted each other in unison.

"Everyone is not an outsider, so there is no need to be restrained." After walking to the main table, he stood still, saying that he should not be restrained, his face was still smiling, and his respect for everyone was very helpful. The head of Jin's family had slightly white temples, a frosty face, and sharp eyes. However, when he smiled, he looked like a Maitreya Buddha, showing his style as a big businessman. Jin Wang's hand was carrying Buddhist beads and was still fiddling with them, very pious. Butler Wang was quite serious, and his style was not as good as the head of Jin, but he also had his temperament. The housekeepers in these years were not in vain.

"Everyone gathers here to enhance their feelings. Our family still needs you to grow stronger. I hope you can all become talents in the future and continue the family better. You must be good at learning and using the principles. Remember that your brothers are united and their strength is broken, cough cough..." Jin Tianyun suddenly coughed halfway through his words.

Jin Wang quickly patted his back and asked with concern: "Why is the wind and cold not cured yet? You must pay close attention to your health. You are the ones supporting this family."

Jin Tianyun finally stopped coughing and then said slowly: "No big problem. I just felt the cold. I have asked the doctor to see it. It will be better in a few days. Don't worry, I can't fall back!" The last sentence was loud and showed strong confidence.

Seeing the concerned eyes of the three legitimate sons, my heart warmed up. Although the three legitimate sons had all kinds of minor problems, they were still sincere to me, and there was no vain. In Jin Tianyun's eyes, only the legitimate son is the backbone of the family, and the other concubines were just branches and leaves. Although they were not missing, they didn't have to be too careful. There were still many things to worry about. Thinking of this, he said, "Let's get started."
