A Timely Wife

Xiong Ruoshan wrote to Chengdong at the beginning of the year, thinking that he could almost retire, and from now on he would be an idle king and let Xiong Ruofeng take up the burden. Chengdong didn't reply to Xiong Ruoshan immediately, but went with Li Ruosong A letter to discuss how the matter should be handled.

When Li Ruosong heard what Cheng Dong said, he suddenly remembered that Xiong Ruoshan was already 21 years old, he and Cheng Dong were both 32 years old, and Xiong Ruofeng would be able to marry a wife in two years. Xiong Ruofeng is one year younger and just turned twelve this year. No wonder Xiong Ruoshan wants to abdicate, but he has waited for too many years. He was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, but now he has grown into a very outstanding young man. He is in a high position but only thinks about one person, and he can keep his heart in the face of countless temptations. Li Ruosong feels that this younger brother has indeed done his best. He worked hard to do what he should do well and fulfilled his promise to others. Since he wants to step back, let him step back and do what he wants to do.

Chengdong also meant the same thing. Now that the couple had already made up their minds, they naturally started to arrange the future affairs. Xiong Ruofeng left it to Xiong Ruoshan to solve it by himself. Xiong Ruoshan was separated from them, let alone Xiong Ruofeng. After all, they are brothers of the same father, not to mention whether it is Xiong Ruoshan or Zhou Jinyan, these two people are not very ambitious people, and Xiong Ruofeng understands this very well, so Li Ruosong is not worried that the two brothers will be in the future. Because that position conflicts, of course, there will be some taboos.

In the letter, Xiong Ruoshan simply mentioned that he wanted to abdicate. This was not the main thing he wanted to talk about. What he wanted to say was that when Xiong Ruofeng ascended the throne, all government and military affairs had been handed over. After the court has stabilized, he plans to hold a wedding with Zhou Jinyan. The only people who will be invited to the banquet are his family members and a few close friends. Although there are not many people invited, this wedding must not be hidden from others. However, what Li Ruosong was most worried about was whether something uncontrollable would happen at the wedding.

Chengdong wasn't too worried. After all, it was a royal wedding, and there would be no guards. In advance, they would ask Li Hu to arrange a few people to sit among the guests. If there were any problems, these special forces could also The situation was quickly under control. Compared with the problems that would arise at the wedding, Chengdong was more worried about the voices of the common people.

When they were stationed, Chengdong and the others had promulgated laws allowing same-sex marriages. After more than ten years of development, the relevant laws in Southern Chu have been perfected. However, there are not many such families. , the number of same-sex marriages is getting smaller and smaller. In the past two years, there have been almost no homosexuals who went to the Nanchu Civil Affairs Bureau to register as relatives and receive marriage certificates. Chengdong also conducted discussions, and they all agreed that the main reason for the peace and stability of the war and chaos is that the people in Southern Chu have no intention of living a stable life because of the constant war and chaos. Suffering, at that time, the Southern Chu people were either left alone in the world, or after experiencing life and death, many things were overlooked, or they had no hope for the future, and naturally they did not have any expectations for life. The two women Those who live together are mostly hurt and cannot accept men, and those who live with two men think that the chances of survival will increase a lot. After all, two men live together, and they can help each other when they encounter problems, not Relying on one person to protect a family, even when the pirate disaster was almost cleared up, the Nanchu people still felt very uneasy.

After more than ten years of precipitation, the overall environment in Southern Chu has become much more stable, and life has become more normalized. Coupled with a series of decrees issued by the imperial court to increase the population, people in Southern Chu have a new definition of family. Even in same-sex families, when they reach a certain age, they will begin to live surrounded by children at home. In addition, other people will look at them more strangely, and there will be more uncomfortable words in their speech. Many same-sex families choose to live a so-called normal life separately.

Although the Southern Chu court promulgated laws against the use of language, actions, and demeanor to spread rumors, slander, and malicious slander, the effect is very limited. Cheng Dong does not think that the law can protect these people from other people's strange eyes. , Which one does not talk about people behind their backs, and which ones have no one behind their backs? If these people can't even bear the eyes of others, and can't face the words of other people's mouths, then even if the law gives them full protection, they still can't. Keep going, the most important thing for same-sex families is never how many people oppose them, but whether they are strong enough in their hearts.

Of course, Xiong Ruoshan and Zhou Jinyan will not let themselves live in the mouths of other people. They have no need and fearless. After coming down, he became more and more like family members and relatives. This kind of feeling made Chengdong breathe a sigh of relief. In the world of feelings, no one can live a lifetime by love. No matter how much two people love each other, love will eventually become family love Or friendship, ordinary life can last long, the kind of life that looks turbulent and exciting, but not long, this is the origin of the so-called deep love does not live long, and love is heavy.

Li Ruosong and Chengdong discussed several times, and finally wrote back a letter to Xiong Ruoshan. In the letter, Chengdong agreed to Xiong Ruoshan and Zhou Jinyan's proposal to hold a wedding, but also proposed that it must be done after Xiong Ruofeng became completely independent. Considering these things, this independence includes Xiong Ruofeng's wedding.

Xiong Ruoshan couldn't be happier to receive the letter. The consequence of this matter is that Xiong Ruofeng's affairs suddenly increased a lot, and the pressure also increased a lot. He was handling things that he didn't think he needed to do. Ruoshan asked him to attend the court meeting and study, but he refused, Xiong Ruoshan didn't insist, just let him go, but now he is forced to attend the court meeting regardless of whether he agrees or not, if he doesn't go, Xiong Ruoshan will send someone Go and drag him here.

Xiong Ruofeng had a faint premonition that Xiong Ruoshan wanted to give up the throne to him, but Xiong Ruofeng didn't expect it to be so soon, he was only 13 years old, and he thought that Xiong Ruoshan would wait until he was full before taking the throne. The emperor brother actually understood his mind when he was 13 years old. Looking at him like this, he probably wanted to give up the throne to him when he turned 15 years old. Xiong Ruofeng was a little panicked. He had no preparations. Xiong Ruofeng felt bad about doing it.

Regardless of whether Xiong Ruofeng is willing or not, Xiong Ruoshan is very happy anyway. He wished that Xiong Ruofeng could learn what was given to Xiong Ruofeng today, and then he would be able to issue the order of Zen position on the third day, and assist Xiong Ruofeng for a few more days. It is possible to hold a modest wedding for Zhou Jinyan but one that he will definitely remember for the rest of his life, and then he and Zhou Jinyan can live a happy and shameless life with just the two of them.

Zhou Jinyan knew nothing about Xiong Ruoshan's calculations. Seeing that Xiong Ruoshan was too strict with Xiong Ruofeng, he would persuade Xiong Ruoshan, hoping that Xiong Ruoshan would not be too strict with Xiong Ruofeng. After all, he was still only a teenager. It's too strict, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to control him when he is older.

No matter what Zhou Jinyan said, Xiong Ruoshan listened with a smile on his face, neither explaining nor refuting. As a result, every time he got to the back, it was nothing. Xiong Ruofeng seized the opportunity and ruthlessly complained in front of Zhou Jinyan. Later, whenever he saw Zhou Jinyan, Xiong Ruofeng would show a pitiful look and look at Zhou Jinyan with tears in his eyes. Every time Zhou Jinyan would punish Xiong Ruoshan twice because he felt sorry for Xiong Ruofeng, making Xiong Ruoshan angry and funny.

When Zhou Jinyan heard the guard report that Chengdong wanted to find him and Xiong Ruoshan alone, his first reaction was whether Xiong Ruoshan had done something wrong, so he couldn't help but give Xiong Ruoshan a sideways look, and Xiong Ruoshan smiled and hugged his shoulders , Said: "It's okay, brother-in-law came to us for a good reason, not to criticize me, I have been very good recently, I have not caused trouble, you have to trust me."

"Come on, are you sure you haven't caused trouble? You haven't caused trouble in the past few years. I think brother and brother-in-law must be looking for us alone because they are not satisfied with what you do." Zhou Jinyan said angrily Said.

In the past few years, Zhou Jinyan has helped Shen Shoufu handle a lot of government affairs, and he understands very deeply why Chengdong and Li Ruosong have become more and more serious and talk less and less over the years. Will become more and more unsmiling, less and less talkative.

Xiong Ruoshan still laughed, and didn't say much, he just waited to see Zhou Jinyan's expression when he heard the news later, he didn't know whether he would laugh or cry, but Xiong Ruoshan didn't expect that besides these two reactions, there could still be other reactions.

Chengdong was sitting in the living room waiting for Xiong Ruoshan and Zhou Jinyan to come over. While waiting, he was not idle, writing and drawing non-stop. He had already anticipated what kind of situation he would face when he came here. Batch after batch has been changed, corruption has been dealt with batch by batch, but the problem is that the number of corrupt officials has not decreased over the years, but more and more. , expressed his confusion in the letter many times, but Cheng Dong had no good solution for this, because Cheng Dong knew very well that it had nothing to do with who it was, it had something to do with human nature.
