Immortal Venerable Cubs Manual II [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 57 True and False Gold [V]
Si Xingjian is too old even for King Qi who is in his 20s, let alone Li Chongshan who is now in his 30s.
Lord Xianzun, who is already hundreds of years old, doesn't feel guilty at all when he dislikes other people's old age. After all, he doesn't have old cows to eat tender grass.
He doesn't care about other people's daughters, but his family's daughters must not just marry so casually.
Even if they meet someone they like, he is reluctant to let them marry into someone else's family at a young age and suffer.
In this day and age, the risk of a woman getting married is too great.Taking a step back, even if the married man is of good character and respects his wife, once a woman is married to his housewife, she will not only be in harmony with her husband, but also get along well with the big family.
Nowadays, it is emphasized that many children are a blessing. If the parents are alive, the family will not be separated. Therefore, families with a little bit of background have a large population.Needless to say, those families of princes and princes, even ordinary families are mostly three generations of grandparents living together.
Is it easy to be a daughter-in-law and serve her in-laws, or even her in-laws?Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "a fat bride" is inappropriate. It can be seen that a woman suffers when she marries into her husband's family.
Even if one day, the daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law and can be the master of the house, that is not something to be happy about.
Si Xingjian would not look down on those housewives, on the contrary, he had some sympathy and regret.The headed mothers of those big families are actually comparable to the general managers of big companies in later generations, and they are all-rounders.
They have to manage Zhuangzi shops, personnel scheduling, banquet planning, bookkeeping and reconciliation, human relations... It seems that they are not only the general manager, but also part-time accounting, auditing, HR, outreach, etc. from time to time.
It's just that it's one thing for him to think highly of her, but it's another thing for him not to let his daughter work so hard.
Why should the girl whom he raised with so much love become an unpaid laborer in someone else's house?Maybe you have to worry about the marriage of the younger generation, what's more, you have to worry about your husband's concubines.
As for the small family, Si Xingjian hadn't thought about it at all.If the two are not in the right family, in fact, when they get along, there will be more conflicts.
Although he doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, he understands people's hearts.
Whether it's Yue'er or Zhaozhao, if they marry, their dowry must be ten miles of red makeup.Money touches people's hearts, even Liang Shuying's dowry makes people feel bad.
It would be even worse if the husband’s family is poor but proud and will not mess with their dowry—there is no reason why parents-in-law eat chaff and vegetables, while daughter-in-law eats fish and meat.They see gold mountains and silver mountains piled up there but they can't enjoy them. Isn't it aggrieved?
Yue'er's casual clothes may be able to cover the food and clothing of an ordinary family for several months.
Si Xingjian is naturally reluctant to let her daughter marry into such a family and suffer.
It's not very feasible to recruit.Nowadays, a son-in-law is not ashamed, but any man with good conditions and a bit of heart will not be willing, and the rest of the crooked melons, maybe they think too highly of themselves...
Si Xingjian thought for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she felt that no kind of family seemed worthy of his two little girls.
He suddenly thought of Qi Xiuyan in the capital, it seems that raising noodles is a good choice?
When Si Xingjian was silent, Ruyan didn't dare to take any action, because she felt that Si Xingjian's anger was now aimed at Zhou Yong and Li Chongshan, and she couldn't direct his anger to herself.
It's just that the peaceful time is short-lived, and Ruyan soon felt a substantial gaze on her.
"master?"
"Go and check that Aunt Mei." Si Xingjian's tone has returned to calm, without any emotion, but compared with the previous full of anger, it seems more cold, as if what he said is not to check, Instead, go and kill people.
When Ruyan heard his order, she felt relieved—since the master still asked her to do things, it must be to let her pay off her merits.
It's just that she was a little confused, so she asked, "What aspects to check?"
"Whether the matter of the day before yesterday was written by her." Si Xingjian pointed out, "I just want to know the truth behind it, the sooner the better, it doesn't matter if there is any evidence."
He puts an accent on the word "truth".
Ruyan understands it, even if he doesn't look at the evidence, it's not something she can fool.At the same time, she also became more aware of the importance of Liang Zhaozhao in the heart of the master.
"Yes, I was negligent before, and I will definitely find out who is unfavorable to Miss Liang."
Aunt Mei's child was lost, and Aunt Mei was present when Liang Zhaozhao's accident happened. She is indeed suspicious.
It's just that Ruyan was worried about Liang Zhaozhao's accident before, how could she have the intention to pursue other things?She has already prepared a way out for herself. If there is no one left, she will find a way to escape.Although she might not be able to escape, but she didn't want to sit and wait for death. Fortunately, she came back safe and sound...
Dare to do something that made her worry these days?Even if the master let that person go, she still has to settle the score.
As for Liang Zhaozhao's plan to escape on his own initiative?Just kidding, how many lives does she have to dare to hate the people her master cares about?
Si Xingjian directly ignored Ruyan's loyal words, and lightly reminded: "It's time to change your tune, call me Miss Second."
A name is just a title.
Si Xingjian didn't care much about his cub's surname. In the past, whether she followed her adoptive mother's surname Qin, or now her biological mother's surname was Liang, they were all his cubs anyway.But he wants to show the importance he attaches to Zhao Zhao, so that the people around him will have a correct attitude towards Zhao Zhao.
Ruyan heard the words, and indeed raised Liang Zhaozhao's status in his heart.
When she first saw Liang Zhaozhao's face when she entered the Zhou Mansion, she had guessed. After all, she knew about Si Xingjian's past entanglement with Liang Shuying beforehand.
It's just that she didn't treat Liang Zhaozhao as a little master at that time.
She knew that Liang Zhaozhao returned to Yuezhou with Heli's Liang family four years ago, which meant that the master was unwilling to accept them at that time, maybe he didn't care about this child so much at all.
Because of such guesses, Ruyan is bound to be a little slack, otherwise she will definitely follow them to Dongshan Temple in person, which is not a difficult task for her.
Seeing that Ruyan understood what he meant, Si Xingjian further expressed his attitude: "Although you are negligent, you have done other things well. What's more, I asked you to inquire about the news, but I didn't order you to be close Protect Zhao Zhao."
"So..." He suddenly paused for a moment, and his tone was a bit warning, "You don't need to put your credit in front of me."
"I think the rewards and punishments are quite clear, and I will not break my promise to you."
After Si Xingjian finished speaking, she waved her hand to let Ruyan leave.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Man and Ruyan's mistake this time, he didn't intend to punish them too much, because he didn't fully count on them.He just wanted to have an extra layer of assurance out of worry about the children living outside, and he didn't let them protect Zhao Zhao tightly.
Zhaozhao is so smart, even without them, he would be able to save himself from danger.
His cub, follow him.
He is also not the kind of father who wants to keep his children in the greenhouse all the time, he prefers to see Zhao Zhao live a carefree life.
Therefore, children must at least have the ability to protect themselves.
Otherwise, Zhao Zhao will become the next Liang Shuying in this difficult world for women.After all, the original owner's property was so large that even the prince would be tempted.
Although Ruyan could hear the meaning of warning in Si Xingjian's words, she didn't understand the reason. She clearly abided by her duty and dared not say much in front of him, let alone asking for credit?
She couldn't figure it out, and was afraid that Si Xingjian's bad impression of her would make her not get what she wanted, so she asked Xiao Er to call Mu Jin so that she could find out.
She knew that she was an aunt in the backyard of the Zhou Mansion, so she would not appear in front of Liang Zhaozhao at this time.After all, she is different from Zhao Man. Zhao Man is only secretly protecting her. It doesn't matter if Liang Zhaozhao finds out about her.
When Mu Jin heard that someone from the private room next door was looking for her, she thought it was Si Xingjian, so she went out with Xiaoer, only to see Ruyan at the corner.
"It's you looking for me?" Although she felt that something was wrong, the two still had a little friendship, so she didn't leave immediately.
Ruyan dragged her to a place where she could talk, "I have something to ask you."
After listening to Ru Yan's words, Mu Jin smiled lightly, "It's not that you are too rare, someone took the initiative to say good things for you."
Ruyan figured it out after a little thought, "It's Zhao Man? I've been wronged so much now, the master must have misunderstood that I'm getting close to Zhao Man." Then she begged Mu Jin, "Please explain to me."
Who doesn't know that the most intolerable thing for the master is betrayal, and he doesn't like their subordinates colluding with each other to make petty tricks?
She just wanted to leave safely, not asking for merit, but asking for no faults, who wants that idiot to speak well of her on his own?Isn't this superfluous?
Hibiscus shrugged, "How can I explain it to you?"
Mu Jin had nothing to do with this matter, and it would be even more difficult to explain if she talked too much.
"You don't need to be so anxious, I don't think the master has any intention of being fussy." Mu Jin comforted me not to be distracted.
Ruyan slowly shook her head with a bitter smile, "You don't understand."
Her life was never her own.
She thought it would be like this for the rest of her life, but she got a promise from Si Xingjian—to let her leave after she finishes this matter; When Cheng Cheng retired, something happened again; she thought she had messed up the matter, but unexpectedly, Liang Zhaozhao was brought back by Si Xingjian, and the master had no intention of punishing her...
He said it himself - "I will not break my promise to you."
She can't see any accidents now, and now she can finally see a glimmer of light, she is really afraid that her success will fall short.
Mu Jin sighed, "I don't understand, even if he really let you go, where can you go? We have been with the master for so many years, even if we are not close friends, we know a lot of things, you have to go..."
Even if he can live, he can no longer speak, and even this face can no longer be used.
There was a look of reminiscence on Ruyan's face, and she said softly: "It's been almost seven years. At that time, we were about the same age as the master's daughter. You came later than me, you and Mulan, me and Sister Shuang, Sister Yun, and ..."
She threw herself into Mu Jin's arms, "When you didn't see Rumeng die... I was afraid."
Ruyan also showed a bit of vulnerability in front of Mu Jin.
Mu Jin was not familiar with Ru Meng, so she didn't have much regret or pity, so she said with a rational and almost cold attitude of a spectator: "It was her own fault, and she will naturally be punished."
"She is at fault, but the master is too ruthless." Ru Yan raised her head, looked into Mu Jin's eyes and retorted, she lowered her eyes suddenly, and smiled bitterly, "Which one of us won't be the next one?" Where is Rumeng? Mulan, who was closest to you before, where is now?"
The sorrow in Mu Jin's eyes flashed past, and she still persuaded: "As subordinates, we just do what the master orders with all our heart. Ordinary people will encounter accidents, let alone people who have already poured blood on the tip of the knife? Master He has never treated us badly, as long as we don't betray the Lord, we won't end up like a dream."
"Besides, on the way from the capital to Yuezhou, I watched with a cold eye, the master seems to be more tolerant of people than before. Perhaps because of getting along with the eldest lady, the master has done a lot of actions to show mercy to the poor and the weak. .”
Mu Jin seldom talks so much, and now she is thinking about her old love with Ruyan, and she doesn't want to see Ruyan choose a dead end.
In fact, where do people like them have a choice?
But Ruyan didn't appreciate it, she straightened up and looked at Mu Jin with a sneer and said, "Now you have master's favor? You are so loyal!"
"He treats people leniently? I'm afraid it's because of his daughter's presence. But what are we? A tool that obeys orders, or an obedient dog? If it is useless, or cannot satisfy him, then there is only one end: It is discarded!"
Ru Yan shook her head, "We won't live better elsewhere. I think I'm just exchanging what I need to survive with the ability that can make the master fancy. It's not as miserable as you said. "
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
When no one was there, she raised her hand and gently stroked the scar on her face.
Who doesn't want someone to protect them?Who doesn't yearn to live freely?But in this world, how many people even live is an extravagant hope.Now that she can live well, she is already content.
Whether it's a killer, a guard, or even an occasional maid and cook, for her, it's just a job.
Mu Jin packed up her mood and returned to the private room, only to see Si Anyue and Liang Zhaozhao had finished their meal and were standing by the window talking.
Si Anyue raised her leg lightly, pointed at her skirt, "It may be scratched by grass during that part of the journey."
For a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, the most worrying thing is that her beloved skirt is torn.
Mu Jin lowered her eyes. When she was 14 years old, she was already learning how to kill people in order to survive. Who let her have no parents to protect her?
Si Anyue didn't know that she was being envied by Mu Jin. When she saw Mu Jin came back, she asked, "Father has finished his meal? Did you urge us?"
She thought Hibiscus had come back from next door.
But Mu Jin was not, she didn't see Si Xingjian, so she could only say: "Master didn't urge you."
Si Anyue took Liang Zhaozhao's hand and walked out, "The two of us eat slowly, my father must be waiting."
The windows were wide open, and the cool autumn wind was blowing.
When Liang Zhaozhao passed by Mu Jin, she smelled a familiar fragrance, she stopped and signaled Si Anyue to stop too.
"There is someone else in the private room next door besides... father. Has she left? Is it convenient for us to go there?"
When Mu Jin heard Liang Zhaozhao's question, she couldn't help being surprised. She knew that she would not be able to hide it from Si Xingjian when she went to see Ruyan, because she would pass by his private room.But she didn't understand why Liang Zhaozhao knew that Si Xingjian had met someone else.
She knew that Ruyan came to see her after seeing Si Xingjian, and guessing that Ruyan had left now, she replied: "There is no one else in the master's private room."
She only stated one fact, and avoided talking about whether Si Xingjian had seen outsiders.
Liang Zhaozhao smiled knowingly, "If you didn't tell a lie, then did you meet her somewhere else?"
Liang Zhaozhao didn't intend to embarrass Mu Jin, but she knew the skills of questioning.
For Mu Jin, she is the master. Although what she says is not as effective as the real master, Mu Jin will not be perfunctory.She presses on every step of the way, even if Hibiscus wants to lie, she will show her flaws.
If she had asked Si Xingjian directly, her attitude would not be so tough.If he didn't want to tell him the truth, there was nothing she could do.
It's better to get confirmation from Hibiscus first, and then ask him.
Seeing her like this, Si Anyue tugged at her sleeves worriedly, wanting to remind her not to pry too much into her father's affairs, so as not to offend him.
Liang Zhaozhao only patted Si Anyue's hand lightly to show comfort.
There are some things that she really can't pretend to be confused about.If she doesn't ask clearly, she will have a grudge, and she doesn't want to speculate about her... father with malice.
Lord Xianzun, who is already hundreds of years old, doesn't feel guilty at all when he dislikes other people's old age. After all, he doesn't have old cows to eat tender grass.
He doesn't care about other people's daughters, but his family's daughters must not just marry so casually.

She knew that Ruyan came to see her after seeing Si Xingjian, and guessing that Ruyan had left now, she replied: "There is no one else in the master's private room."
She only stated one fact, and avoided talking about whether Si Xingjian had seen outsiders.
Liang Zhaozhao smiled knowingly, "If you didn't tell a lie, then did you meet her somewhere else?"
Liang Zhaozhao didn't intend to embarrass Mu Jin, but she knew the skills of questioning.
For Mu Jin, she is the master. Although what she says is not as effective as the real master, Mu Jin will not be perfunctory.She presses on every step of the way, even if Hibiscus wants to lie, she will show her flaws.
If she had asked Si Xingjian directly, her attitude would not be so tough.If he didn't want to tell him the truth, there was nothing she could do.
It's better to get confirmation from Hibiscus first, and then ask him.
Seeing her like this, Si Anyue tugged at her sleeves worriedly, wanting to remind her not to pry too much into her father's affairs, so as not to offend him.
Liang Zhaozhao only patted Si Anyue's hand lightly to show comfort.
There are some things that she really can't pretend to be confused about.If she doesn't ask clearly, she will have a grudge, and she doesn't want to speculate about her... father with malice.
