The Major General's Country Wife

"Big brother."

Xu Jingyi came to find Xu Changfeng alone, this time without her younger sister Xu Jingshu.

"What's the matter?" Seeing her coming so late, Xu Changfeng knew that he must have something to say.

"The lotus appreciation banquet is where the wives of each family bring their children from the mansion, our mansion." Xu Jingyi stopped in the middle of her sentence.

"This?" Xu Changfeng pondered for a moment, and it was true according to the rules, "Let's talk to grandfather."

"Brother." Xu Jingyi obviously didn't want to go, she looked at him longingly, "I dare not."

"Oh!" Xu Changfeng dealt with these things every day, which annoyed him, but he couldn't ignore them.

"I'll talk about it tomorrow and see what grandpa means." He promised.

Xu Jingyi still had something to say, she glanced at Xu Changfeng secretly and said, "The tonic cannot be cut off, the elders are used to it, if it is cut off, it will make them unhappy, and the body must not be able to adapt."

"The money I gave you was spent on supplements?" Xu Changfeng asked.

"No." Xu Jingyi was startled, and said: "Part of the business expenses have been spent, and there is not much left in my hand now."

"Yeah." Xu Changfeng nodded, expressing that he knew, "It's getting late, go back and rest earlier."

"Well, my sister is leaving." Xu Jingyi got up and left.

Xu Changfeng looked at her back thoughtfully, he hoped that his family would live well, and he didn't want them to suffer a little grievance, but he still understood the meaning of the words "Do according to our ability".

Looking at the night outside, I didn't go back tonight, and I still have some thoughts in my heart, but how can some things be completely satisfactory.

Xu Changfeng didn't expect Yun Changsheng to leave in anger. He knew that some things Yun Changsheng said were right, but they were not suitable for the situation in their house.

How can aristocratic families be the same as ordinary people?

No matter how much money Yun Changsheng has, he still cannot understand the lives of these powerful families. If he keeps this attitude, there will be more troubles in the future.

Xu Changfeng closed his eyes, hardened his heart not to think about these things, too many things made it difficult for him to continue, and he always had to take care of the overall situation.

……

Under the night, Yun Changsheng was sitting on the porch, blowing the cool breeze, he was very calm, this day will come sooner or later, even if he can bear it, how long can he last.

They have different ideas and different styles of dealing with the world, and the concept of class is the most difficult bridge between them.

There are also small details that are different everywhere. Yun Changsheng had a premonition, and he didn't have any hope. It's just that Xu Changfeng has always given him a good impression.

Accompanied by this period of time, and taken care of every day, "Heh!" Yun Changsheng chuckled, his mouth full of bitterness.

There are some things that you have to think about clearly, what you should do and what you should not do, you have to master a certain degree, that is, when you get married and enter the Duke's mansion, you have to be sober.

Public is public and private is private, people's righteousness and righteousness can't be confused with each other. Everything you own is obtained by your own hard work, and there is no reason to give it away for no reason.

……

The next day, Xu Changfeng came to Xu Guogong's study.

"Grandfather." He said the matter, Xu Guogong frowned, did not expect such a thing.

"Under the imperial decree, they are all ants." Xu Guogong sighed: "We can only let them out."

He smiled wryly: "I'm afraid there will be chaos again!"

Xu Guogong now misses the life at the border. Taking care of these trivial matters every day makes him exhausted. "The rules in Kyoto are strict, and no one can change the filth."

"Yes." Xu Changfeng was powerless, he wanted to use this opportunity to help those concubines, but now this matter may come to nothing.

"I still don't want the houses to take over the affairs of the mansion." Xu Changfeng said: "The situation in the mansion is just a little bit better, and it can't be restored."

"You think it's so easy." Xu Guogong looked at his grandson indifferently, and said, "Which mansion will be managed by the concubine and the children?"

"As a noble family, you must abide by the rules of the noble family." Xu Guogong's words are very ruthless, but they are the most truthful.

"The Duke's Mansion is considered to be a cleaner mansion. If there are too many dirty things in other houses, you still have to show a smiling face to please."

Seeing Xu Changfeng's numb expression, Xu Guogong sighed and said, "You have to get used to it. Some things can't be changed if you want to. To enjoy the glory of the family, you have to take the responsibility and endure the darkness."

"It's like imperial power, as long as the decree is issued." Xu Guogong's eyes were burning, and he said coldly: "How do you want to resist, disregarding your own life, so you don't care about others?"

"I." Xu Changfeng's throat was astringent, his chest was stuffy, and he said with difficulty: "Could it be that I let me be a mermaid, without any resistance, and completely follow the trend, or participate in it and become a blind, deaf, heartless and heartless person?"

"That's what you don't have the ability to do." Xu Guogong suppressed his sadness and said: "If you want to take the overall situation into consideration, you have to give up. It doesn't depend on whether you are willing or not. This is the rule and the way to survive."

"There is no chance of winning against the imperial power." Xu Guogong didn't hold back a bit, and said quite directly: "If you want to rebel, you still have to find someone else to win."

"Take family affairs as an example." Xu Guogong said: "Even if I suppress them, will they repent or stop if they are released?"

"This paragraph

Time has revealed what those children did, and what those concubines did, they couldn't bear it, and they would inevitably make a scene or tamper with each other behind their backs. "

Xu Guogong: "What do you want? Do you disregard the elders' reprimand, or disregard filial piety to force you to subdue, what can you do, and how can you do it?"

"Grandfather." Xu Changfeng's voice was hoarse. He really couldn't do it. A filial piety would overwhelm him.

"So, I suppressed it." Xu Guogong said: "But once this lotus reward banquet is held, they must be released, and your management rights must be returned."

"No, I won't return these things." Xu Changfeng said: "Others and they can argue, they can talk about things as rules, but what if I take care of it myself?"

He had a firm gaze, and he didn't want to see the next generation in the mansion lose their hearts, and there were so many hopeless numb expressions of the children of concubine who were in constant anxiety.

"I am the eldest grandson. If my grandfather agrees, no one can stop me." Xu Guogong was silent, looking at his stubborn grandson with complicated eyes, "You can think about it, the cumbersome housework will distract you, and if something goes wrong, you have to face the elders." Can you bear the accusation?"

"Yes." Xu Changfeng said, "I want to try, grandfather."

Xu Guogong didn't answer, his face was calm and indifferent, his heart was turbulent and unwilling, and he said after a long while: "If you want, then it's up to you."

He also wanted the house to be clear and bright, and the family to live in harmony, but Xu Guogong knew that it was impossible, so far he had never seen such an aristocratic family.

The only thing that is better is that there are elders who run the family fairly, who can subdue the ambitions of the subordinates and restrain the occurrence of shady methods. Generally speaking, there will not be too many conflicts that will affect the overall harmony.

However, before the wives in the mansion lifted the confinement, Xu Changfeng received a piece of news that made him feel bad foreboding.

Right now, he wants to make arrangements to prevent accidents from happening, because of what his grandfather said, "Everyone under the imperial power is an ant, and some things can't be changed if you don't want to."

But people's hearts let him down again. Some people are fascinated by wealth, and their hearts are always higher than the sky. For the sake of prosperity and wealth, they are willing to ignore others' hard work.

……

As for Yun Changsheng, he didn't see Xu Changfeng back for several days, and he didn't ask a word about Xu Changfeng or the Duke's Mansion.

And told Si Zhu not to inquire about the news from the Duke's mansion, as if they were suddenly separated completely.

Yun Changsheng: Each has his own destiny, each has his own fortune, no one can be responsible for others for a lifetime,

I can't do anything for Xu Changfeng or the Duke's government without a bottom line.

"Go out and walk around." Yun Changsheng greeted Si Zhu.

He didn't know that Xu Changfeng was in a state of desperation right now, he was busy entering the palace on duty, and he had to take care of all the trivial matters in the mansion himself, so he had no time to come here.

"Master, where are you going?" Si Zhu followed behind and asked.

"Leave the city." Yun Changsheng wanted to see that little guy for a long time, but he never made it, and today he finally made up his mind.

"Brother?" Jiang Xiyi's eyes widened in surprise, and then he rushed over in surprise, "Brother, you're here."

"Yes." Yun Changsheng smiled and said, "Did you miss your brother?"

"I think, I always think about it." Jiang Xiyi was talking, his eyes were still looking at the sky, "Did the big bird come?"

"They've gone to play." Yun Changsheng said with a smile.

"Brother, let's go." Jiang Xiyi took his hand and dragged him towards his home, "My mother is cured, and I want to thank my brother."

Yun Changsheng: "...."

"Brother?" Jiang Xiyi couldn't hold him back, and looked at Yun Changsheng with puzzled eyes, "Mother has been waiting for brother for a long time, and said she must thank you."

"You're welcome." Yun Changsheng knelt down and said, "You don't need to be so polite about such trivial things. You should have said it many times."

"But." Jiang Xiyi hesitated, Yun Changsheng said: "Your mother is an elder, how can I ask her to thank you."

Yun Changsheng thought for a while, and said, "Give your mother a message and let her rest in peace, that's my thank you. Otherwise, if she gets sick again, people will say that I haven't cured her."

"Xixi." Suddenly, a thin woman came out of the yard, leaning on a wooden stick, "Who are you talking to?"

"Mother, it's elder brother." Jiang Xiyi ran over, stood on tiptoe to support the woman and said, "If elder brother doesn't come in, I can't let you thank you because mother is an elder."

"But Doctor Yun?" Zhou said with a smile, "Doctor Yun, please come in quickly."

As she spoke, she turned sideways and gave way to the door, "How can I not thank you for saving my life, Doctor Yun is too polite."

Yun Changsheng saw that there was no one in the yard, and no one was staying outside because of the heat in the Zhuangzi. He thought for a while and nodded, "Ma'am, you are welcome."

When he came here again, seeing the dilapidated courtyard, Yun Changsheng pursed his lips and said nothing, only Qiu He was there, and the serving woman was not there.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou groping to make tea for himself, Yun Changsheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "I don't drink tea, just some plain water."

"I'm here to pour." Jiang Xiyi climbed up on the stool to get the kettle on the table, but Qiu He took the first step, "Little Master, I'll pour."

Hearing the voices of two children, Mrs. Zhou showed a smile on her face, which made her thin cheeks turn red, "Slow down, don't fall."

After she finished speaking, she added: "Doctor Yun, I really want to thank you. Not only did you save my life, but you also helped our family."

"Madam, you're welcome, it's just a trivial matter." Yun Changsheng looked at Jiang Xiyi who was sitting next to him and snuggled up to him, and said, "I have a predestined relationship with my wife's son. It's like friendship at first sight. Doing these small things is nothing to worry about."

"Brother." Jiang Xiyi reached out and hugged Yun Changsheng's arm, his face full of dependence and affection.

"Yeah." Yun Changsheng patted his head and said with a smile: "I'm alone and have nothing to worry about. Since you are willing to call me brother, I will treat you as a younger brother."

"I am willing." Jiang Xiyi said loudly immediately.

Turning to Zhou Shi again, "Mother, I am willing."

"Okay." Zhou said with a smile on his loving face, "You have to listen to brother, and you can't be naughty."

"Yeah." Jiang Xiyi buried his face in Yun Changsheng's arm, his little face flushed with excitement, and whispered, "I have a brother."

"Doctor Yun." Just as Zhou was about to say something, Yun Changsheng interrupted, "Madam can just call me Changsheng, and there is no need to call me Doctor Yun."

"Oh, good." Zhou's smile became more gentle, "If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness."

"Don't take it to heart." Yun Changsheng said.

He then changed the subject and said: "Madam's body needs to be cultivated in meditation, and you must not let it stagnate in your heart anymore, with a guilty conscience and anxiety."

Yun Changsheng paused for a moment, then said: "Xiyi is still young, madam should think about him more, don't lose the big because of the small, the talent in front of you is the most cherished."

Zhou's smile froze on his face, and he was silent for a long time before saying: "I have no one to be sorry for, it was my fault."

"If you know a mistake, correct it. You can persevere in things, but you can't be too persistent. Do everything according to your ability. The world pays attention to a word of fate." Yun Changsheng said: "As long as you have the heart and do your best, when the fate is yours, it will be yours. Don't force it, otherwise."

Yun Changsheng didn't finish his sentence. He believed that the person in front of him would understand that she was not completely innocent in this situation.

After all, if you blame others and give up on yourself, pin your hopes on others, and only care about yourself, it is impossible to achieve your wishes.
