overbearing

His dog temper surged for a while, and he wished he could just turn around and leave. Going home and talking with Xiao Bai around the brazier was much more interesting than standing here blowing the cold wind.This idea had just arisen, before he had time to turn around, he lowered his head and saw Zhou Yan looking at him cautiously and vigilantly, as if he could guess what Zhou Jirong's idea was.

Zhou Jirong said in his heart, "I'm sorry, he was painful and belatedly remembered his identity as the emperor's uncle, and now his two nephews are watching helplessly.It’s easy to just leave now, but if you don’t say anything else, at least you have to set an example for Zhou Yi who understands the general situation, otherwise this child will do things as he pleases in the future, and it’s not easy to discipline, and in the end, it’s not me, my father, who is cheating !

He had no choice but to comfort himself, thinking that all the kowtows that should have been kowtowed had already been done, and he was almost at the end of it after standing for so long, and it would be a big loss to go now, wouldn't it just be for those in Chaoli who were full and supported Are the officials looking for fun!He secretly slandered the ceremonial officer's bullshit sacrificial oration, which was smelly and long like a foot wrap, and wished that the ceremony would end as soon as possible.

He was so unhappy in his heart, he finally waited till the end of the sacrificial ceremony, he wanted to find an opportunity to complain to his brother at the New Year's banquet, he used this as an excuse to not stay to watch the new year, and he could still catch up with Xiaobai to eat when he went home New Year's Eve dinner.

It's a pity that things didn't go as he wished, the emperor was undoubtedly much busier than Zhou Jirong this day, and he didn't know what was left to be done. At the New Year's banquet, his brother didn't wait for Zhou Jirong to find a chance to speak, and left early.Not long after, the emperor's personal steward came over with a happy face and issued the decree, first announcing the good news that Concubine Liu Gui had a dream, and then a series of canonized awards.

Although it was a bit abrupt, but this is the Chinese New Year season, no one jumped out to say that this is not in compliance with the rules, and they are asking for trouble.For a while, only the voices of congratulations and congratulations were heard.

Except for the time when Zhou Yi was handed over to him, when his elder brother mentioned the affairs of the palace to him, usually the emperor knew that Zhou Jirong was the most impatient with these trivial matters of the palace, so he never talked about it with him.Now Zhou Jirong didn't even know about it in advance.He first lamented that his elder brother's hard work was not in vain, and then vaguely felt that his elder brother's favor had been occupied by him for more than ten years, and this time it was about to change hands from now on, so he was a little bit disappointed.

However, his brother has nothing to say about him for so many years. Zhou Jirong feels that he is not at a loss. It was actually a blessing that he did something again.But when he turned his head and saw Zhou Yi and Zhou Yan next to him, he withdrew his wild thoughts.

Zhou Yi said in a daze, "Then the imperial concubine won't be here today?" After his biological mother passed away, he was sent to Concubine Liu to be raised for several months. Although Concubine Liu said she would not treat him as her own child, she actually treated him She still took good care of him and never treated him badly.Zhou Yi misses his old love and misses her very much.

Although Zhou Yan was more mature and prudent than ordinary children, at his age he couldn't hide his emotions well. He forced a smile at Zhou Yi, and said like an older brother: "She won't come today."

The beginning of the new year is the time when heaven and earth will reconcile with each other, and the emperor chose to announce such news on this day, obviously he has extraordinary expectations for this child.Even if Zhou Jirong didn't bother to think carefully about the subtleties, he didn't believe it was a coincidence.What is the purpose of keeping such a group of imperial doctors in the imperial hospital? One by one without real talent, ten or eight of them can still make a living?Sooner or later, he should have noticed the pulse. If he delays the announcement until now, he has his plans.

Zhou Jirong knew his brother's thoughts after being registered, so it was not surprising to have such an arrangement. It would be a matter of time before the prince was born, and the imperial concubine would be registered as a queen.Although Zhou Jirong didn't like her very much for personal reasons—to be honest, he didn't have any of his brother's concubines that he liked. Compared with Concubine Liu Gui, she was pretty good—but she treated her brother for more than ten years. Never give up, and it is also necessary to stand up.Then, with the identity of the queen's son-in-law, it is still unknown how good it will be in the future.

Zhou Yan is two years older than Zhou Yi, so he is inevitably more thoughtful. He grew up in that environment, and he knows more than ordinary children, even though the emperor has always treated everyone equally and never revealed anything. Who cares more, but now there will be a younger brother who is more threatening, one is the eldest son who is about to emerge, and the other is the distinguished son of the queen, I am afraid that someone will have countless thoughts.He is sharp and intelligent, and it has only been a moment, and he has obviously thought far ahead.

In the end, Zhou Jirong still saw some anxiety and uneasiness on his calm face.

After several contacts between Zhou Jirong and Zhou Yan, he vaguely felt that this child had a big heart and was not as naive as Zhou Yi, who was easy to dismiss. Zhou Yi couldn't compare his far-reaching ideas, even Zhou Jirong couldn't compare to him at his age. .

With these facts in front of us, there is no right or wrong, Zhou Jirong can't really think about it, and he also thinks it's too early to think about these things.

Although he can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people, in fact, he has endured hardships for most of his time, and he knows how much responsibility he has to bear as long as he stands in a high position. The pressure of being unable to get rid of and let go of it makes me want to scold my mother. I don't think there is anything good about the so-called high position and power. Even if he didn't see with his own eyes how his brother came to the present step by step, his brother would not be with him. Mention this, but it will not be easy at all.With such a body-saving experience, Zhou Jirong felt that the throne was the cusp of suffering on the surface, and he didn't think there was anything good about it.But others may not be as heartless as him.The idea is completely different.

He can easily drive people to death, but it's not his forte to comfort and explain people. I'm afraid no one will recognize his truths, and he can't talk to Zhou Yan at this time, regretting why Xiaobai is not here. Here, I can't think of what to say to Zhou Yan at this meeting.

In the end, he patted each of his two nephews on the shoulders, completely ignoring what others thought, and said directly: "What are you talking about! Are you full? I'll take you back when you're full!" Now Zhou Yi lives with him Where, he naturally asked Zhou Yan.

Although Zhou Yan was tired all day, he lost his appetite at the moment, so he put down the bowls and chopsticks hall: "Thank you, uncle!"

Zhou Jirong couldn't see his listless look, but he didn't say much, just seeing that he didn't eat much, so he picked the whole meat from the table and asked someone to wrap a few, stuffed two into his sleeves, and stuffed the rest. Let the two children each carry a share, while he left with his hands free while leading the other.Originally, all the clan members had to stay in the palace to watch the year after the banquet, but the emperor was not here, so he led the two princes away, and no one dared to stop him.

As the eldest son, Zhou Yan was treated differently from others. At the age of six, he formally studied Jingwei articles. For the convenience of reading, he got a separate small courtyard, unlike Zhou Yi who lived with his mother all the time.

Zhou Jirong didn't say much along the way, and just led him back slowly.On the contrary, Zhou Yan came back to his senses. Although he was a little embarrassed, he had a lot of energy, so he gathered his energy and found something to say.

Send him back to the place, although there are several palace people, but after all, it seems a little deserted in such days.Zhou Yan was a bit reluctant, looked at Zhou Jirong and said, "Is the emperor going out of the palace at this time? It's already very late."

Zhou Jirong saw through his little thoughts and didn't reveal anything, just sighed in his heart, apologized to Bai Tingyu secretly, and said kindly: "When I go back, I still have to watch the year, it's not the same there!"

He asked someone to light up the stove and prepared some charcoal fire, and then sent the palace servants to rest without the need for others to wait on them.

He did it himself, took out the food he brought and roasted it slowly, and then remembered to ask for wine.Zhou Yan couldn't find it here, and finally found a bottle of rice wine for cooking to make up for it.

Zhou Jirong didn't care about it, he drank two glasses at his own discretion, and felt that it didn't matter if the wine tasted weak, so he dragged the two children to accompany him to take two small sips.After the food was baked, I greeted my two nephews to eat some more together, but I didn't say anything, just listening to the two children chatting without a word.He himself said that he wanted to keep the year old, but in the end, the amount of water was not enough, and he was the first to go to the couch to lie crooked.

He originally wanted to have something to say to Zhou Yan after Zhou Yi fell asleep, but Zhou Yi's little bastard was still very energetic, and the two brothers didn't know how much they had saved up to say, like a mouse. Xu Xu spent most of the night, and finally managed to make Zhou Jirong fall asleep.When he woke up the next day, he saw the two children leaning beside him at some unknown time, and the three of them slept together all night.

Zhou Jirong had forgotten most of what he had thought up last night when he woke up, and he hadn’t had a chance to speak. This time when he met Zhou Yan, his expression was normal. I think he is not like an ordinary child. To think for him is to know what to do or not to do, at least the face is full of joy that should be in the Chinese New Year, and nothing can be seen anymore.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Jirong felt a little overwhelmed for some reason, and didn't bother to say what he hadn't forgotten. Instead, he worried that the news about him leading his two nephews to drink last night would reach the emperor. He didn't want to ask his brother for the red envelope anymore, so he picked up Zhou Yi and went back to the house.

This matter probably couldn't be contained in paper, but his brother was in good spirits on happy occasions, so he never pursued it much.On the contrary, since that night, Zhou Yan seemed to feel a lot closer to his uncle, so he would come to find Zhou Yi every now and then, and sometimes ask Zhou Jirong some questions. Art of War and Martial Arts are fine, but if you study Confucianism and Taoism, you will inevitably be stared at by Zhou Jirong from beginning to end.

After doing this several times, even Zhou Yi felt something was wrong.Zhou Jirong is infinitely tolerant of his sneaky behavior, but he is required to be upright and have a clear conscience when dealing with people, and he doesn't bother to cover up his head and show his tail in everything.Zhou Yi has not yet reached the age of rebellion, and he obeys his words. At this time, he does not hide his doubts in his heart, and secretly finds an opportunity to ask him: "Uncle Huang, do you hate my brother?"

Zhou Jirong didn't seem to expect him to ask such a question, so he was silent for a while, rubbed his little head absent-mindedly, and answered the wrong question: "Do as much as you can! Practice your kung fu well, and in the future Be your man who stands above heaven and earth! Hey, you say that you are such a stupid child, what will you do if you are sold and count the money for you in the future? I am so worried!"

Zhou Yi was puzzled, and argued in a low voice: "Why? I'm not stupid. My husband praised me for being smart when I endorsed it the day before yesterday..." But he didn't dare to compete with Zhou Jirong. After he finished speaking, Zhou Jirong acted as if he hadn't heard I ignored him, stood there for a while, and then saw Bai Tingyu smiled at him and waved his hands to indicate that nothing happened, then ran out to continue practicing.

Zhou Jirong also told Bai Tingyu about the events of that day in detail.Zhou Yan's recent actions are also considered reasonable, but Bai Tingyu can see his thoughts to some extent. It's just that this matter is related to the royal family. Zhou Jirong pretended to be stupid to the end, so he naturally couldn't make a sound. At this moment, he thought about it and smiled: "Dear The prince's temperament is a bit similar to yours when you were a child, so it should not be annoying to you."

Zhou Jirong was noncommittal about this. He felt that although he had a bad temper when he was young, he didn't think so much, but it wasn't because he hated Zhou Yan. After all, it was his brother's children, even those who hadn't been born yet. It is said that they are all treated in a general way, and it is really irrelevant. What Zhou Yan is doing now is nothing more than wanting to get closer to him early, so as to be prepared.

There is nothing wrong with him doing this, but it made Zhou Jirong feel a little bit uncomfortable, and he was a little embarrassed inside, I really didn't know how to get along with him.He was bewildered for a moment, and felt that since he had Diao Yi, no, it should be said that since he entered Beijing, he sighed more times than before, and said resentfully: "I'm afraid that if things go on like this, if he continues to run like this, I will be regarded as the big prince's party in the future... By the way, it is not known whether Concubine Liu Gui's child is a boy or a girl, and the empress is still indifferent at the moment. Why is he so guarded against Yu Weiburn? The title is about to be lost!"

It's not that Zhou Jirong himself wanted to be a lone minister, it's just that his dog temper made him unable to make friends among the courtiers.

Bai Tingyu just smiled without revealing anything, patted his hand comfortingly, and said softly: "...It's not a bad thing to be scheming but still know how to measure."

It took Zhou Jirong a long time to say 'hmm', and he pulled Bai Tingyu over with his hand, put his chin on the man's shoulder, and let out a long breath.His big nephew is not bad except for his strong heart. Although he is still immature at such a young age, he can vaguely see that he is decisive and straightforward in doing things. Except for Zhou Yi, he is nearly ten years earlier than other younger brothers. Years are not wasted.Thinking that he will be in great trouble in the future, it must be a very headache to choose any son other than the eldest son. Of course, it is hard to say which prince is more talented than others.

And he has made up his mind not to help each other, the palms of his hands and the back of his hands are full of flesh, and he is not going to do it for the embarrassment that it is difficult to choose between the ten fingers and the heart. Who should give it a headache.He only wants to teach Zhou Yi well, and let him support him wholeheartedly in the future.

It's just that the current Zhou Yi is far from what he wants, and needs more training.

He let out a sigh of relief on Bai Tingyu's shoulder, and said slowly: "When it's the end of spring, let's go to Mianzhang to see my uncle, just in time for the ten-mile lotus, and take Zhou Yi around, if you think he's in the way Let him stay with uncle for a few days, let's walk around by ourselves, and then..." Then ignore all these shitty things in Beijing, and wait for three to five years before coming back!As for serving tea, there are times when his brother comes to the door and wants to drink...

----------

He always left as he said, and at the end of March, he really bid farewell to the emperor, and took Zhou Yi in his plain clothes and set off on the road.

Faced with Zhou Yi's hasty and curious questioning, he had already changed his mind. He felt that with such a rare time and opportunity, he naturally wanted to put this little oil bottle in the foster care of his uncle's house for a period of time. After wandering around for a while, Zhou Yi said with a grin in Zhou Yi's defense that he was not stupid: "You silly boy, I will naturally find a good place to sell you, so that I can go to the mountains with your Uncle Bai The water tastes delicious and the drink is spicy..."

The spring is bright and bright beside the post road, the elms and willows are shaded and the warblers and swallows are chirping. This piece of mountains and rivers is quiet and peaceful. Fortunately, there are people around me who will be connected for life and live up to his military uniform for half his life.

The author has something to say:

Here, I would like to thank my dear who accompanied me all the way.Due to various delays, this book has been delayed for too long, and many ideas have become a little fuzzy. The story has basically developed to the point where there is no wave or wave, and the ending may seem very flat. There is hope from the beginning.From then on, peace and joy, and peace for the rest of my life.

At the same time, I also wish you all peace and joy, and your wishes come true.May the years be quiet and prosperous, and everyone will be with each other again.
