The happy son of the city

Chapter 218 Lin Rulan's Strategy
But Lin Rulan was not afraid at all. She lowered her head and said softly, "Actually, Zihan's mother is Qingning's mother, right? Both you and Qingning's father liked her back then, but she chose Qingning in the end." father."

Wang Zhicheng's face became hot, he just hummed, and strode forward without answering Lin Rulan's words.

Lin Rulan didn't stop there, she quickly caught up with Wang Zhicheng, and said sincerely: "Uncle Wang, no matter who is right or wrong, but it's been so many years, let the past go, don't worry about it anymore No matter who you are, you should live in the present and yearn for the future, instead of feeling stuck in the past. Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, if he was obsessed with his status as a cowherd boy, then he would not be able to become Ming Taizu. He was poor back then Ma Shi who married him at that time, if she was not satisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's poverty at that time, then she would not be able to become Queen Ma. I think, Uncle Wang, if you let go of your children's hatred 20 years ago, give them blessings instead of holding grudges , then everyone’s life will definitely be better.”

"You talk too much!" Wang Zhicheng snorted coldly and walked away.

Lin Rulan smiled at the nervous Wang Zihan, and shook her head slightly, expressing that she was fine.

After walking for a while, Lin Rulan and Wang Zhicheng stood together again.

She continued: "Uncle Wang, I know you have always regarded Zihan as your son. I think, no matter whose son he is, the most important person in his life must be you, not his biological body." Parents. Everything he has now is given by you. No matter what, you hope that he can live a good life and be happy. You have educated him so well, if you give him some more support, he will definitely be even better in the future , and even become an outstanding person. I think, if one day he becomes like that, you must be the one with the most sense of accomplishment. And Zihan will never forget your kindness in nurturing, and will treat you as a child no matter what the situation is. Therefore, I think, when Zihan is still young and can do everything in time, give him more help and create more conditions for him instead of creating trouble for him. If he does, it may ruin him. I think, if his life is ruined, or if nothing happens in the end, it must be you who will be the most distressed."

Lin Rulan's last words touched Wang Zhicheng deeply, and the expression on his face also changed.

But in the end, he just sighed and didn't say anything.

Lin Rulan accepted it as soon as it was good, and didn't persuade Wang Zhicheng any more.

After the three of them played Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum together, they went to the nearby Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum.

Lunch was eaten in the scenic area, and Wang Zhicheng did not refuse to sit and eat with Lin Rulan and Wang Zihan.

But while eating, he didn't say a word.

Wang Zihan didn't know what to say, but Lin Rulan occasionally said a few words to brighten the atmosphere.

When visiting the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in the afternoon, Lin Rulan also said a few words from time to time to liven up the atmosphere.

Lin Rulan didn't know much about history, but when she visited Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in the morning and Zhongshan Mausoleum in the afternoon, she still took out her little historical knowledge and discussed it with Wang Zihan.When discussing with Wang Zihan, she also asked Wang Zhicheng for his opinion, asking him to verify whether what Wang Zihan said was correct.

After visiting the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, it was still early, and Wang Zhicheng took them to the Zhongshan Gate Castle.

Zhonghuamen Castle is the largest gate castle in Jinling City. Except that the gate tower was blown up by the Japanese in the tragic war in the 30s, other places are well preserved.

When walking into the Zhonghuamen Castle, Lin Rulan whispered to Wang Zihan, "Have you noticed that your master's mood has improved?"

"A little bit!" When he was in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Wang Zhicheng had already been able to talk to them a lot, and Wang Zihan was also quite pleasantly surprised by this.

Lin Rulan whispered again: "When visiting Zhonghuamen Castle, we try to talk to him as much as possible, talking about things related to the history of Jinling, he will definitely talk to us more!"

Wang Zihan nodded, agreeing to Lin Rulan's suggestion.

"Zihan, can you tell me about the history of Zhonghua Gate?" When she walked into the gate, Lin Rulan took Wang Zihan's hand and asked loudly, "There must be many castles in such a big castle." A historical allusion!"

Wang Zihan nodded, and also explained some historical allusions related to Zhonghuamen Castle to Lin Rulan.

Things about Zhu Yuanzhang and Shen Wansan, some interesting things about the Ming Dynasty, and things after the Taiping Army captured Jinling during the Qing Dynasty.Of course, what he talked about the most was the tragic history of the Japanese invasion of Jinling, the capital of China at that time, during the War of Resistance Against Japan.

After talking a little bit, Wang Zihan said to Lin Rulan embarrassedly: "Actually, I don't know much about Jinling's history, and my master told me some of it."

"Uncle Wang, can you tell us in detail the history related to Zhonghuamen Castle?" Lin Rulan understood, and immediately brought the topic to Wang Zhicheng.

Wang Zhicheng hesitated for a while, and finally spoke, telling them a lot of history related to Zhonghuamen Castle.

"The Zhonghua Gate was called Jubao Gate in the Ming Dynasty. It was the south gate of Jinling at that time. It was the largest gate among the thirteen gates of Jinling at that time. The total area was about [-] square meters. At that time, the imperial court wanted to ensure that Quality, each brick is engraved with the name of the builder and supervisor. Because of the guaranteed quality, Jubaomen is still well preserved after the change of dynasties, the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the War of Resistance Against Japan, and is hailed as the world's first One gate. During the Republic of China, the national government changed Jubao Gate to Zhonghua Gate, and the name of Zhonghua Gate was inscribed by Mr. Jiang, the leader at that time. Hehe, the king’s banner on the top of the city is changing, and the tiger dominates the dragon and the present is better than the past.” For some unknown reason, Wang Zhicheng talked a lot, and quoted two lines of great man's poems at the end.

Lin Rulan immediately responded: "Yes, after so many years, things are different. When Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the construction of the Jubao Gate, he never thought that the Tartars who were expelled by him would eventually overthrow the Ming Dynasty he established. Although this The Tartars are not the same Tartars, but they are aliens to us big men. I don’t know how Zhu Chong knows under the eight or nine springs, how would he feel? However, although things are different, some things have not changed. Zhonghuamen is alive It has been more than 600 years, and during these 600 years, a family has reproduced at least a dozen generations, or even more. Compared with the passage of time, many things in life are really unimportant."

Speaking of this, Lin Rulan suddenly changed the subject and asked Wang Zhicheng: "Uncle Wang, do you think that the love between children and the family is very light compared with the hatred of the country and the family? The Zhonghuamen has witnessed hundreds of years of history. It remembers It must be the vicissitudes of history, not the love of children, right?"

Lin Rulan's words made Wang Zhicheng's expression change several times.
