The sad reminder of the science man

As soon as Xue Chi left the palace, there were two people waiting for him at the gate of the palace, saying that they were his guards sent by the emperor. Although Xue Chi felt uncomfortable, he also knew that he was not qualified to refuse, so he had to accept it with a smile. Two guards.These two guards are both in their 20s, one is Zhao Chen and the other is Zhao Wan.Xue Chi decided to call them Big Brother Zhao and Second Brother Zhao.

When Xue Jia returned home with two guards, the Xue family was surprised to see Xue Jia. They hadn't heard Xue Jia say that he was going home!There are two people behind, what's going on, is something wrong?But looking at Xue Chi's appearance, nothing can be seen.

When Xue Jia was on the road, he already knew that these two guards would follow him in the future, and they lived in Xue's house, but fortunately, Xue Jia did not have no secrets to speak of, mainly in terms of research and experiments, they would pay attention to But will not interfere.

Xue Jia and Xue Mu said that Zhao Chen and Zhao Wan would be their guards in the future, and asked Xue Mu to arrange a place for them. Xue Jia went to talk to Xue Father, and of course the two guards followed.

Father Xue was in the study at the time. He was a little surprised to hear that Xue Chi came back, but he knew that Xue Chi would definitely come to greet him, so he didn't call Xue Chi. , and brought two strangers with him, although Xue's father was puzzled, he still called Xue Jia into the study first, but fortunately the two strangers did not follow in.

Xue Jia felt that the emperor had something in his words, and the feeling was changing from time to time, which made people unable to figure it out. He had been thinking about it since he left the emperor's sight, but in the end he couldn't think of anything. Then I was shocked by the guards again. Fortunately, when Xue Zhi entered the study, they just guarded the door and did not go in together. Otherwise, Xue Zhi didn't know what he would do. Think about it if there are two portraits He followed him all day long like a wandering soul, and Xue Zhi felt that he would go crazy sooner or later.

"Chi'er, who are the two people standing at the door?" Xue's father felt wrong about Xue Jia bringing people to the study. Standing at the door, Father Xue didn't know what kind of people they belonged to, so he finally asked directly.

Knowing that the identities of these two people cannot be concealed from Father Xue, and there is nothing to hide, Xue Zhi readily stated their identities, "These are the two guards given to me by the emperor, and they will follow me from now on."

Father Xue was stunned by this answer, "What, it was given by the emperor, what did you do, why did the emperor protect you?" Father Xue's voice was normal at first, but then he thought that there were two people with special identities standing in front of him. Outside the door, Busy lowered his voice a few degrees.

Xue Jia knew what was going on with the guard, and also knew that as long as he didn't do anything bad, the guard would not hinder him, so he didn't care that much. Now you can see that Father Xue, who has always been calm, lost his composure. , Xue Jia felt it was worth it, "Father, don't you think I'm coming back a little early? I made something in the official hall, and then I was recalled to Beijing by the emperor. I went to the palace to meet the emperor today. The first guard was given by the emperor at that time."

Father Xue heard that Xue Jia not only brought back two guards, but also went to the palace to meet the emperor. Whatever you said when you saw the emperor, you have to remember it clearly for me before you talk about it."

Xue Jia also wanted to have a good talk with Father Xue, and he was very happy, "Father, I made an explosive device that can open mountains. It is so powerful. In a few days, the emperor will send someone to let me teach them how to make it." This, and the emperor asked me not to leak it, I think this is why Big Brother Zhao and Second Brother Zhao were sent here! And Dad, I am now an official, although I can’t compare with Dad and Brother, but at any rate He is also a Yuanwailang of the fifth grade." Although Xue Zhi is not an official fan, but this dynasty is like this, people are divided into three, six or nine ranks, and this official status is immediately different. At the beginning, there was a general who ruled the country because of the marriage Xue Chi didn’t have much feeling for the title of title. Xue Chi suffered a lot because he didn’t have a specific official position when he was walking in the Ministry of Industry. Some books and copywriting were based on Xue Chi’s position. Those who cannot be consulted, now that they have a formal official position, Xue Chi's heart itch when he thinks of the collection room of the Ministry of Industry.

Father Xue never thought that his second son could be an official, and it was not that the family had no money or means, but Father Xue felt that Xue Chi's temperament was not the stuff of officialdom, and now Xue Jia said that he was an official, He was startled, but later he was relieved when he heard that it was Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Industry. Xue Zhi is better than Jia Zheng, right? Chi would not make mistakes, but seeing Xue Chi's proud look, Xue's father couldn't help being shocked, "If you are an official, you will be an official, but Chi'er, you must know that it is not so easy to be an official. Pay attention to your words and deeds, and think before you do something, don't act on impulse, think about it this time..." Father Xue made an effort towards the door as he said.

Xue Chi was excited at first, but he stopped talking when he heard Father Xue's words. He also reflected on himself, but knowing it is one thing, and doing it is another. Sometimes he just couldn't control himself. Said, he kept telling himself to be careful, and not to make such a mistake next time, "Got it, Dad."

Father Xue also knew Xue Chi's temperament, and knew that he had realized his mistake at this time, but there was a great possibility that he would still make the same choice next time. Come down, let Xue Chi stay by your side and watch! "Okay, if you know you have made a mistake, you have to correct it. Forget it this time, and you must remember it next time. Now tell me about the whole process of meeting the emperor, what you said, what actions you did, and what expression you had. You also explain it carefully to me."

Xue Jia nodded in agreement, recalled every detail of his meeting with the emperor, and then told Father Xue.

Father Xue inserted a few words from time to time when Xue Jia was narrating, commented, and also said something deep in the emperor's words, but he didn't say anything specific, and he didn't plan to say it. He understood it. This is a typical fool. There is a silly blessing, he sometimes sweats when he hears it, but Xue Chi doesn't seem to feel anything. Seeing him drinking a sip of tea, Father Xue asked, "When the emperor asked you, how did you feel?" , Can you feel whether the emperor is satisfied or dissatisfied?"

Xue Chi nodded and shook his head again, "Father, I don't feel that the emperor is satisfied or dissatisfied, but it seems that when the emperor asked me what kind of grace I wanted, I just asked for grace for my sister, and the emperor seemed not very happy. But when I finished saying that I wanted to ask for a marriage proposal for my sister, I didn't seem to feel that the emperor was unhappy at all."

After listening to Xue Jia's words, Father Xue turned his head, and knew that the emperor thought that Xue Jia wanted to send Xue Hao into the palace at first, but later he realized that he was wrong. Father Xue paid attention to gunpowder when he started asking Xue Jia On the contrary, I ignored this, "Then Chi'er, when the emperor asked you what kind of grace you want, how did you think of you?"

Xue Jia looked at Father Xue in confusion after hearing this, "Father, I don't need anything, and I don't have anything to worry about. It's just that there are some twists and turns in Haoer's business. Although we think very well, let's give it secretly It’s good to find someone else, and when everything is finalized and announced, the Jia family should have nothing to say, but after all, the cousin is still the mother, there will always be troubles, if the marriage is bestowed by the emperor, I don’t think the Jia family can say anything. I will not do anything bad to my sister, this kind of thing is a disadvantage for girls, as long as the Jia family releases a little word, no matter the truth of the matter, it is good for the disadvantaged, I am preventing it before it happens."

Father Xue didn't know what to say after hearing Xue Jia's words. You must know that he has been busy finding someone for his daughter these days, and now he has a clue. He felt that it would have been better if Xue Jia had rejected it at the time, but after thinking about it, it was a one-sentence matter for the emperor to give Xue Hao a marriage, but it was of great benefit to the Xue family, and the words had already been said, no Good change, so be it! "Chi'er, you said that when the emperor asked you who you were, you said you were a scholar in this imperial examination, right?"

Xue Chi nodded, and said a lot of things in a crackling voice, "That's right, didn't father and mother say that they would choose people from this imperial examination? I remember that when the emperor asked me if I had a firm target, I said that." , besides, I just returned to Beijing, and I haven’t arrived home yet, and you didn’t write to tell me, so of course I don’t know.”

Seeing Xue Jia's appearance, Xue's father knew that he didn't realize his mistake at all, and pointed at Xue Jia, "You, you really, can't change your mind? It's fine for scholars, and it's limited to this one. For the next imperial examination, the emperor has promised to grant marriages, won't you expand the scope? Or simply let the emperor choose candidates."

Xue Jia knew that he had missed the opportunity when his father said so, but the words had already been spoken, and he was registered with the emperor, and there was no room for turning around. Choose the best one, "Dad, I will be more considerate next time."

Seeing Xue Chi like this, Father Xue also knew that it would be good to have a marriage gift, and it would be good to be able to choose a good family, at least it's just that the range of choices is a little narrow, "Okay, okay, pay attention next time, can you marry me?" It’s also good for Hao’er to have a marriage proposal. These days, your mother and I are optimistic about two candidates, but we haven’t finally decided on which one, but now that the emperor has given us a marriage, we don’t have to worry about others taking it if we choose a good one. Our family used to be a businessman talking about it, and my father will offer discounts tomorrow."

Hearing what Father Xue said, Xue Jia's heart arose, "Father, does the other party agree? Should I send a message to the other party's family, or..."

Father Xue came to his senses after hearing Xue Jia's words, and he was surprised by what Xue Jia said, so he didn't think carefully, "Well, I'll ask your mother to ask later, but it should be fine, before you come back I just got in touch with her, and this marriage offer is a good thing for the icing on the cake. I believe I will not refuse it, but the other party is a family of poems and books from generation to generation. My father was not sure at first because he was afraid that he would suffer in the future, but now it’s better, with the emperor’s gift Marriage, let's see who can say yes or no."

After hearing this, Xue Jia knew that there were twists and turns in his sister's marriage, but hearing what his father said, it seemed that there was nothing serious about it, but seeing Xue's father like this, Xue Jia knew that it should be all right, "Dad, is it too late? Or will it be the next day?" A booklet for the emperor?"

Father Xue knew that Xue Jia's intentions were good, but this attitude was absolutely unacceptable, and he reprimanded, "What nonsense, the emperor's words are golden words, how can you be slow, your idea is bad, we are doing things for the emperor, There must be no sloppy, procrastinating, remember?"

After hearing this, Xue Chi nodded, knowing that it is not the modern procrastination that is the big deal and losing his job, but a big mistake if he is not careful, and he may even be imprisoned, or even lost his life. Thinking of the details of meeting the emperor today Dip, I just listened to Father Xue's analysis again, and I know that I have had great luck this time, and I can't say whether I will be so lucky next time! "Father, I know, I must correct my attitude."

Father Xue nodded, "You don't want to go out these few days, I think the emperor will send someone over immediately to ask you to hand over the gunpowder and explosive devices, and these two guards, you don't want to be ordinary Guards, take them with you wherever you go, and don't hide anything from them."

Xue Chi didn't understand, "Father, you mean you don't hide anything, but if I want to play tricks on the Jia family, don't you hide it?"

Father Xue couldn't see Xue Jia being so fussy, and said angrily: "Yes, I don't hide it, and sometimes I can send them to do it. And this Jia family is not doing much for you. Why are you so petty? Didn't Dad grow up? Have you ever taught you to be generous?"

Xue Chi muttered in dissatisfaction, "That father taught me that revenge must be revenged!"

Father Xue and Xue Jia were close, so he naturally heard Xue Jia's muttering clearly, but he didn't respond, but waved to Xue Jia, "Okay, now you go to Cheng Gong and tell your master Say, let's go!"

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Xue Chi said, "Father, it's getting late today, I think it will be the same when I go to Master's tomorrow."

Father Xue looked at it and said indifferently, "It's okay, you go, your mother and I are going out too, remember to come back early in the evening." He stood up and went to find Mother Xue. The marriage is settled.

Xue Zhi knew that he must go to Master's place today after hearing what Father Xue said, and he didn't have any resistance, but he was sure that he would have to repeat it again when he went to Master's place. Poor thing, he is seriously short of water today. He just drank a pot of tea when he came out, but it is not bad to eat at the master's house.Thinking that Xue Jia also got up and followed Father Xue out of the study.
