Passing through the station

Contrary to what outsiders thought, the relationship between Tian Kaifu and the Tian family was not as close as imagined.Especially in these years, it can even be said to be slightly alienated.

Although Tian Kaifu is the eldest son and grandson of the Tian family, he has also shown outstanding talents since he was a child. He is not only a well-known child prodigy, but also successfully became the companion of Prince Pingxi's son. After entering the officialdom at a young age, he is even more Along the way, the official fortune was prosperous, and now he has gained both fame and fortune.

Of course, although he has already entered the six departments and holds real power, his official position is not high.But he is still young, even for his current official position, he is even too young.Moreover, his backing is very strong, as long as anyone with eyes knows that Tian Kaifu will surely be able to rise to the top in the future.

Who would have produced such a promising descendant, no matter what happened to the outside world, he must be happy in his heart.However, Tian Kaifu's various performances are not good news for the Tian family.

At least not so good news.

The heritage of the Tian family is not deep, and it has only been three generations since Tian Kaifu's grandfather started to make a fortune.Going up further, it sounds like a farming and reading heirloom, but to put it bluntly, it is a mud leg.It's just that the Tian family knows how to exploit, and now they can make a good situation in Xijing.

But that doesn't mean they need an eldest son who is beyond control!

Tian Kaifu was very obedient when he was a child, but when he grew up a little bit, he almost grew up in the Pingxi Palace, and had little contact with his family, so he naturally seemed a bit born.This was within the expectations of the Tian family.

But in the officialdom, one never fights alone, relatives are the most natural allies, as long as Tian Kaifu steps into the officialdom, he will realize this, so they are not worried.After all, the Tian family is destined to be owned by Tian Kai in the future, and they can only hope that Tian Kai will recover.

But before Tian Kaifu stepped into the officialdom, something happened that made the Tian family almost drive Tian Kaifu out of the house!

When Fang Maomao entered the room carrying two oversized food boxes, what he saw was Tian Kaifu's gloomy expression.He is not very good at reading people's faces, let alone trying to figure out other people's thoughts, but he knows that Tian Kaifu is in a bad mood now.

"Tiantian, are you hungry?" He must be unhappy when he is hungry.This is Fang Maomao's simple thinking.So, as long as you are full, you can be happy!

Tian Kaifu was stunned for a moment before he received Fang Maomao's question.He suddenly felt a little stupid, he had to complicate many things that were obviously simple.

The Tian family believes that he is an uncontrollable heir, so does he care about the position of the head of the Tian family?Since both sides dislike each other, then he doesn't need to be in charge of the door, isn't it?

He is not the only one of his peers in the clan, whether it is his own younger brother or cousins, didn't they all grow up according to the Tian family's thinking?With so many candidates, as long as he abdicates, who can he choose as the successor?Besides, now that the candidate is decided, even if some areas are lacking, but he is still young, he can still learn more from the elders, and the resources that should be tilted must be tilted. Anyway, he has not relied on his family for these years, and originally belonged to him as the heir. He does not believe that these resources will be kept well and not used by others.

Having figured things out for a moment, Tian Kaifu immediately felt hungry. He sat down like an old man, watched Fang Yu quickly set up a table of dishes, and replied with a smile: "Well, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry."

Fang Maomao placed the light and easy-to-digest food in front of him, and kept the rest for himself, and wrote down: "These are yours, you can't eat these."

Fang Maomao did not emphasize that Tian Kaifu was not aware of the special arrangement of the plate.As someone who is very knowledgeable and has a crush on Chu Hao for many years... Cough, of course he has done various understandings of related knowledge.

But why did Fang Maomao know? !

He said with some difficulty: "Why can't I eat those?"

Fang Maomao put a can of well-cooked porridge in front of Tian Kaifu, and replied without any thought: "Er Gou said." In his heart, Er Gou is the absolute authority when it comes to eating.

Tian Kaifu's whole body is not well.So...Ruan Ergou knows about their so-and-so, what happened to him, what happened to Fang Maomao, what happened to him? !

If Ruan Ergou knows it, it means Chu Hao knows it, and if Chu Hao knows it, it means... well, Ruan Bai and Chu Hao are quite tight-lipped.He needn't worry too much.The most important question right now is to give Fang Maomao a title.No matter how he eats and eats, he can't always abandon people indiscriminately.

"Maomao, come home with me tomorrow." He had to deal with all the bad things that should be dealt with, and then he, the eldest son and grandson, could retire and spend a happy life with Fang Maomao.

Fang Maomao didn't say anything else: "Okay."

The next day, Tian Kaifu and Fang Maomao came to Tian's house as agreed.

The Tian family's mansion can be regarded as low-key in the family of officials and eunuchs. Even in terms of the area covered, the size of the houses and the exquisite decoration, it is not as good as the Ruan's house in Xijing.However, Ruan Bai is a local tyrant with a big backer, plus various arrangements, etc., are still being watched by the princess personally, and they are part of the wedding room/dowry/betrothal gift, so of course it will not be too low-key.

Tian Fu's low-key has elements of keeping a low profile, and it may not be without elements of lack of background.For Tian Kaifu, who grew up in the Pingxi Palace almost since he was a child, wouldn't the Tian family be willing to put a few antique vases in the hall, hang a few calligraphy and paintings by famous artists in the study, and plant some famous flowers in the flower garden?

Of course they would, they just don't have the background.Antiques have always been a trick to deceive people. For laymen, almost every trick is right.After Mr. Tian got rich, for a period of time, in order to improve his style, he looked around for some antiques, but spent a lot of money to buy a bunch of fakes.Since then, the matter of antiques has become a taboo in the Tian family.

As for calligraphy and paintings by famous masters, there is no need to mention the old works of famous masters, they are deeper than other types of antiques; as for the calligraphy and paintings of famous masters in the present world, can they be bought with money?Taking money to buy it is truly degrading.Almost the only way to collect is through gifts from friends.But Mr. Tian has a lot of ability to earn fame and fortune, but he doesn't have the level of acquaintance with famous masters, so that he doesn't have decent calligraphy and paintings at home.

Speaking of famous flowers, Princess Pingxi is a well-known big planter in Xijing.Ji Nandie, who grew up in her hands, came to the capital and is also a top flower and plant expert in the industry.

It is an elegant thing for a literati to grow flowers and grass, but after all, girls play more of this thing.The greatness of a man is the four kinds of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.Mr. Tian didn't dislike the scarcity of choices, but the flowers and plants disliked all the males of the Tian family very much, and they committed suicide as soon as they entered the Tian mansion.

To this day, the only thing in the Tianfu that can be relied on to be elegant is a stunted plum blossom in the backyard. The flowers that bloom every year can be counted on the fingers.

Fang Maomao, who stepped into the Tianfu for the first time, felt that the Tianjia was extraordinarily bald.

As the nominal heir of the Tian family, Tian Kaifu received a warm welcome when he returned.At least the Tian family's old, middle-aged and young, four generations of men are all in the hall.

The older generation almost turned a blind eye to Maomao, an outsider, while those of the same generation gave a bit of wink, grasping the main idea from the attitude of the elders, and maintaining a united front without squinting.There were only two little dolls, looking at them with the same curious eyes.

After entering the door and taking a seat, Tian Kaifu greeted each other, and Tian Kaifu gave the two little dolls a meeting gift, and the two little dolls were taken down by the wet nurse.

Without the children present, the atmosphere immediately cooled down.

Tian Kaifu sat calmly, and handed his tea to Fang Maomao.

Fang Maomao didn't appreciate it, and gave him a wronged look: "It's not delicious."

Tian Kaifu tried hard to keep the corners of his mouth from curling up, and when he turned his head to face the other Tian family men, he suddenly lost interest in continuing to fight.

Even in the main hall, the number of seats is actually limited.Apart from the elders, besides him and Fang Maomao, only his second brother Tian Kaicheng and his cousin Tian Kaixue were left. Tian Kaixue was still above Tian Kaicheng, and his status was clear at a glance.

"Grandfather, Father, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, I have something to say." Tian Kaifu's solemn expression just made the men of Tian's family calm their expressions a little. It is rare to see Tian Kaifu like this Fang Maomao felt very interesting.

However, Fang Maomao still prefers Tiantian who earnestly taught him to read and write, and Tiantian who is pressed down by him and hugs him tightly...

Mr. Tian looked at Tian Kaifu kindly: "They are all from my own family. If you have something to say, you don't have to."

Tian Kaifu smiled humbly: "As the eldest son and grandson, I, Tian Kaifu, have not fulfilled my responsibilities for a day, and I feel deeply guilty. And I am destined not to be able to leave an heir for the Tian family..."

"Brother can adopt my son!" Tian Kaicheng hurriedly interrupted Tian Kaifu.

For the second son in a family whose status is equal, it is a good thing for him that the elder brother above him likes Long Yang or something.No matter how good this eldest brother is elsewhere, he will only bring shame to the family, but will not be able to bring a good in-law to the family, nor will he be able to give birth to an heir to the family. Benefits will be reaped!

The only hateful thing is Tian Kaixue!When he becomes the Patriarch, sooner or later...

Tian Kaifu looked at his younger brother who was yelling anxiously, suddenly chuckled, and shook his head: "Ah Cheng, don't tell jokes, if Xiaojun hears it, he will cry." The two little dolls who appeared here just now One of them is Tian Kaicheng's son Xiaojun; the other is Tian Kaixue's son Xiaoxian.

Tian Kaicheng's face froze, he lowered his head to cover the shame and anger on his face, paused for a moment and said with a stiff smile: "My brother didn't think carefully." To be able to adopt his son to Tian Kaifu, it would be beneficial and harmless to him.If Tian Kaifu continues to occupy the current position, then once his son is adopted, he will naturally be the seedling of the Patriarch.Even if he can't become the head of the family, who doesn't know that Tian Kaifu is now relying on the new crown prince, and he has a lot of money.Coupled with his own influence in the officialdom, a mere Tian family is just a dispensable thing.

In his mind, his elder brother must need an heir, so as the younger brother of the same mother, adopting his child must be the best choice.

I never expected that such a win-win thing would be rejected!

Tian Kaifu smiled, didn't answer, and continued the topic that was interrupted just now: "I think grandfather will choose another successor head as soon as possible, so that grandson can make some arrangements here."

The first half of the sentence made everyone in the Tian family feel sad.Tian Kaifu is indeed not suitable to be the successor head of the Tian family, but if he quits, the loss to the Tian family will far exceed their gains.

The second half of the sentence made them immediately beam with joy.Tian Kaifu is equivalent to promising to give more resources to the successor Patriarch.With the level he has come into contact with now, it is absolutely impossible for the Tian family to reach it in a short period of time.The Tian family had already had a rough time in Xijing, and the capital city was a circle that they couldn't touch at all.Even in Xijing, could it be that the relationship between the rest of the Tian family and Pingxi Palace is closer than Tian Kaifu?Tian Kaifu is not only the companion of the crown prince, but also the husband of the crown prince!

Tian Kaicheng's eyes lit up.In his opinion, Tian Kaifu's words directly pushed him to the position of Patriarch.Who is more qualified to have the resources given by his own brother than him!

"Grandfather thinks about it slowly. My grandson lives in Ruan's house these days, so if you need anything, just send a message."

Half of the men in Tian's family were in a daze because of the bomb Tian Kaifu dropped. At least they remembered that the play would be a full set, and they left food and sent people to the door.

When the two got into the carriage, Tian Kaifu relaxed, pulled Fang Maomao, and leaned himself into his arms, which was soft and hard and very comfortable: "Maomao isn't full yet, right? Let's go back and find something delicious that Ergou hid !"

Ruan Bai's cooking skills are getting better and better, especially the snacks, he often cooks them in a pile, originally to prevent the fat people from stealing them, and often put the snacks where the fat people can't get them.Later, there were too many "little thieves" in the family. In order to save a bite for himself, he was forced to cunning.

Tian Kaifu and Fang Maomao are very keen on digging out Ergou's grain storage.

Fang Maomao's eyes lit up: "Okay!" Then he said a little strangely, "Didn't Tiantian say to take Maomao to see your mother?" As a result, I didn't see a single person wearing a flowery skirt, they were all elders.Well, none of them are as good-looking as his family Tiantian.

Tian Kaifu thought about the servant's message before, saying that the old lady missed him very much... He didn't forget that when he found out that he liked men, his mother scolded all kinds of vicious words.

For the men of the Tian family, perhaps only a few benefits are needed to keep them in a superficial peace.But to the female members of the Tian family, especially his mother, his different sexuality is like a monster, and she is the woman who gave birth to this monster.

How much glory he brought her in the past, after that incident, he became a shame that she wished she had never been born.

For this reason, there was an old lady who worshiped Buddha all the year round in the back house of the Tian family; he lived in the palace for a long time and seldom returned home;

When the master makes mistakes, they are all taught by the subordinates—what a natural excuse.
