Immortal Venerable Cubs Manual II [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 65 True and False Gold [V]
After hearing about the Zhou Mansion, Si Anyue didn't ask anything about Liang Shuying, nor did she plead for Si Xingjian to help Liang, but asked with doubts on her face: "That aunt did that to make Mrs. Instead?"
Liang Zhaozhao replied, "Yes."
"Can a concubine's room be righted?" Si Anyue was a little puzzled. This was one of the reasons why she was so resistant to marrying King Qi before - even the prince's side concubine was still a concubine after all, inferior to others.
Liang Zhaozhao replied: "Prudent people may not, but Zhou Yong doesn't follow the rules."
If he talked about the rules, there wouldn't be a bunch of concubines and concubines.
In fact, Si Anyue originally wanted to ask - no one cared about this kind of thing, it would never happen in the capital that this kind of favoring concubine and killing his wife would never happen.
Si Anyue: "When I was in the capital, I heard that a certain official's wife died. He wanted to help his beloved concubine, but he was impeached. Afterwards, he never married a wife."
Liang Zhaozhao smiled and said, "The capital city is at the foot of the emperor, so there are naturally strict rules and regulations. The sky is high here and the emperor is far away. Who cares about that?"
"However..." She draws her tone, "The current empress was originally only a concubine, didn't she recover after the former empress passed away?"
"Hush—" Si Anyue made a gesture of silence, "How can we talk about the matter of the empress so easily? Besides, it should be reasonable for the emperor to do so, that is the king of a country."
Because he is the king of a country, does everyone take it for granted?
Indeed, as an emperor, it is more difficult to marry another queen than to choose a successor directly from among the concubines, but it seems that it is not easy for those princes' families.However, only the emperor can do this, and no one criticizes it.
But Liang Zhaozhao didn't say these words out of his mouth, he just said lightly: "Outside, of course I won't talk nonsense."
Si Xingjian, who was listening to their conversation, said a word lightly, but it hit the point.
He said: "Rules are to restrain others and serve those who made them."
——At least in this era, those who require people to abide by the law are the least concerned about morality and punishment.
As large as a country, the emperor is the head; as small as a family, the father is the head.Monarchs and ministers are different, superiors and subordinates are orderly, superiors and inferiors are distinguished... All these rules teach people to obey and obey.
And those in positions of power enjoy the convenience brought by the rules, but they don't know how to obey the rules.
Hearing these words, Liang Zhaozhao felt something flash in his mind.
Although she didn't catch it, just like a wild goose leaving a mark, this idea is like a seed, buried in her heart, it will slowly germinate and grow.
Years later, when Liang Zhaozhao became a person who could set the rules, it suddenly dawned on her that a word from her father had provided her with a path she had never imagined.
At this time, Liang Zhaozhao didn't think too much, she just sighed casually, and didn't have too many cynical thoughts.
Of course, she didn't think it was reasonable to straighten the concubine's house, and she didn't appreciate the royal family's practice of "being strict with others and being lenient with others".But, what does this have to do with her?She has no leisure to care about these injustices.
She was quickly distracted by other things.
She wanted to arrange everything before leaving Yuezhou, and her father's proposal - whether to go to see Mrs. Liang and say goodbye, also made her a little tangled.
In fact, as early as Liang Zhaozhao saw Liang He, and told Su Mu Su Ye the news of her return, but did not reveal anything to Liang Shi, she had already made a decision in her heart.
But now, when her father spoke, she couldn't help but hesitate.
She originally thought that her father would not want her to get in touch with Mrs. Liang any more.
Whether it is from an emotional or rational analysis, if she refuses, it doesn't matter.
However, because she only met her father, she cared too much about his father's opinion, for fear that he would feel cold and heartless, thinking that she didn't value him as a father.
If she can be so cruel to her mother who has been with her for four years, what about her father who abandoned her for more than ten years?
She dared not take that risk.
It's just that Liang Zhaozhao is not willing to act out a picture of a loving mother and a filial son.
She was not close to Mrs. Liang, even after knowing that the other party was her biological mother.
Although Mrs. Liang brought her by her side, she actually had a faint resentment towards her in her heart, resenting her appearance for reconciling her parents, resenting her for not being liked by the original one... She is not a fool, how could she not feel it?
Coupled with the fact that the temperaments of the two are very different, there is not much speculation in the first place.
They didn't live in the same courtyard in the Zhou Mansion, so they got along even less, and they didn't develop a mother-daughter relationship at all.
Since the mother believed she had harmed the fetus, they had become more and more estranged.
After she fell into the water this time, her mother did not send anyone to look for her, but easily admitted her death. At that moment, Liang Shuying's daughter really died.
If nothing happened to the Zhou Mansion, after they had spread the news that she had died, if she returned to the Zhou Mansion alive, she would probably be beaten out as a liar or insane.
Probably, my mother still believed in this statement-her fate was too hard to hinder her mother's luck.
Being treated like this by Liang Shi, Liang Zhaozhao didn't feel sad at all, she only regarded Liang Shi as a stranger who was kind to her, and if he repaid the kindness in the future, he would not owe her anything.
When Si Anyue came to ask Liang Zhaozhao if she would go to the Zhou Mansion to bid farewell to Mrs. Liang, she resolutely said two words: "No."
After thinking about it, she still didn't want to act in front of her father.
"What about you?" Liang Zhaozhao asked back.
It was the two of them that my father asked before.
When Si Xingjian brought Yue'er here, she had promised to let her visit Mrs. Liang, so naturally she would not break her promise.
Hearing Zhaozhao's answer and rhetorical question, Si Anyue said softly, "I'm not going either."
Originally, for Si Anyue, Liang Shuying was a ray of light in her dark days and her obsession, but now those thoughts have changed.
These days, she sketched out an unclear image from Zhao Zhao's few words, which was quite different from the mother she remembered.
Si Anyue suddenly remembered the conversation between her father and her on the road before——
"Did Mrs. Liang treat you really well when you were young?"
"Then do you remember how she treated you? Are there any specific incidents that you can give examples?"
"You were taken care of by a nanny when you were young, but when you were five years old, you began to live alone."
"I don't treat you well. You have no one to care for you at such a young age. Naturally, you want to find a warm place."
At that time, she only thought that her father was sowing discord between her and her mother, but now her father's cruel words made her enlightened.
When her father was too strict with her when she was young, she would unconsciously think of the leisurely days in the backyard before, and she would have the idea that "it would be nice if my mother was by my side".
As time passed, she had a feeling that her mother was the one who loved her the most, and it was only because of her father that she had to separate from her father.
Most people need to be loved, and those who lack love sometimes magnify the goodness of others infinitely.
In fact, the mother she never forgets is just a cake she made for herself, lest she can't bear it.
Then just keep it in memory.
Si Anyue and Liang Zhaozhao looked at each other and smiled, one was relieved, the other was indifferent, neither asked the other the reason.
After Si Xingjian learned of their decision, she just nodded slightly, as if she had already expected it.
But he was feeling in his heart: Liang Shuying, a mother who did this, was actually quite a failure, unlike him, who made both children fall for him so easily.
In fact, Liang Shuying is not a villain, but was raised and abandoned by her stepmother.If it goes smoothly for her, that's fine, but once something happens to her, she can easily get confused.In the face of other people's schemes, she is powerless to fight back.
Si Xingjian understood that it might be difficult for a person like Liang Shuying to live a stable life, but he would not bring people around to take care of her.
As he and Ru Yan said, he is not her father, why should he take care of her.
At most, when something happened to her, he would let someone take care of him for a while or two.
After everyone made a decision, within three days, everything was arranged properly.
The matter of the Zhou Mansion was settled.
Before Zhou Yong's head injury healed, he was dismissed from his post and received another hundred military sticks, making him half a useless man.
Then Ruyan gave him some medicine to make him weak, so that he would not vent his anger on Liang Shuying when he was unhappy.
And the reason why he was dismissed was because Li Chongshan blamed him for the fugitive, but this is not wronged him-one of the dereliction of duty was paid for by him.
After listening to Ruyan's analysis of the pros and cons, Liang Shuying decided to send away Zhou Yong's children and adopted a concubine son of Liang Shuwen; she put Zhou's mansion up for sale, and bought another small house with a secondary entrance. After this change, it is not as good as before, and I have made up my mind to keep a low profile in the future and stop showing off my wealth.
Liang Shuwen's leg was broken and his right hand was also disabled. It is said that Zhou Yong sent someone to beat him.
What makes people feel strange is that his wife neither reported to the officials nor settled accounts with Zhou Yong.
What no one knows is that his wife Song claimed to go to Shangxiang to pray for her husband's safety, but in fact she went to fulfill her wish.
Song suppressed the joy on her face, and said in her heart: The gods and Buddhas of the heavens appeared, leaving Liang Shuwen with no hands to gamble, no legs to go whoring, and even harm to the maid at home, let alone the opportunity to influence her son career...
And Zhao Qing has deep merit and fame.
It is said that Yang Erhu, who was cut half to death by Zhou Yong, left Yuezhou with his mother after two days of recuperation.
At this time, it is reasonable for him to run for his life in the eyes of everyone.
A man who was not imposing but full of beards sent Yang Erhu out of the city, and warned: "My sister was killed by the adulterers because they found out that they had sex with them, so I thought of this way to take revenge." .It is also because you are a dutiful son, even though you are a little bit of an upright man, that's why I found you."
"But in the future, if you use this method to destroy people's reputation, I will definitely find you and cut off your tongue."
Yang Erhu even said "dare not", if it wasn't for the money to see the doctor and take care of his mother, he would not dare to talk nonsense this time, he would be an official.
He was not a liar before, so everyone will believe what he said this time.
This is why Liang Zhaozhao chose him.
The bearded man said again: "Also, don't go back to Yuezhou again, lest you really be hacked to death."
After threatening people, the bearded man threw a bag of money over, "Be filial to your mother, and find a job after you settle down, so as not to sit and eat."
Otherwise, when I have no money to see a doctor for my old lady, I probably won't be so lucky to meet Zhao Zhao.
Liang He thought of the anxiety and helplessness he felt when he had no money to take care of his adoptive mother's injury, so he made a point.
He was luckier than Yang Erhu, Zhao Zhao not only helped him, but also gave him a job.He has been with Zhaozhao for four years, and now he has not only learned a lot, but also saved a lot of money, and he is about to marry a wife.
Yes, this bearded man was exactly Liang He in disguise.
He didn't expect that Yang Erhu really listened to his reminder, and later Yang Erhu became a storyteller.
After Liang He sent Yang Erhu away, he felt a little worried. Looking at Zhao Zhao's arrangements, he had vaguely guessed that Zhao Zhao was planning to leave here, and he could only stay.
Liang Zhaozhao really only took Su Ye away, and she left Liang He because Liang He's adoptive mother was unwilling to leave her homeland.
She also asked Liang He and Aunt Yang to take care of Mrs. Liang.
As for Su Mu, she has promised to be Liang He's wife.
After Zhao Man, a 22-year-old bachelor, found out about this, he wished he could ask his master to give him to the second lady as a bodyguard. After all, the second lady is in charge of her subordinates' marriages!
Si Xingjian couldn't comprehend Zhao Man's grievances at all, so he only asked Zhao Zhao, "You like the hawthorn cake at Chunlai Teahouse, do you want to bring the pastry chef back to Beijing?"
What he said by "bringing back to Beijing" is to buy people and bring them home to be cooks.
There are also hawthorn cakes sold in the capital, but they are afraid that they will not suit Zhaozhao's taste.
But Liang Zhaozhao misunderstood him, thinking that Mu Jin had told him about Chunlai Teahouse, and he hinted that he could take Liang He away with him.
She shook her head, "No need."
I was organizing my language to explain to my father, when I heard him say: "It doesn't matter if you don't bring it, I can also make hawthorn cake."
It is indeed inconvenient for them to bring outsiders along the way.
Liang Zhaozhao: "..."
It's really just for the hawthorn cake? !
Seeing her surprised look, Si Xingjian thought she didn't believe it, and said, "I can also make candied haws." There are also hawthorn rolls, hawthorn pear shreds...
As Si Xingjian was speaking, some images suddenly flashed before his eyes: he was holding a four or five-year-old child in a cloak, and the child was holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand and handed him to eat; he put the candied haws into a broken bowl; He held two bunches of candied haws and talked to the child...
Is this the experience of a previous world?That child is his cub, he will not admit it wrong.
Si Xingjian knew that his memory was sealed, but he never insisted on thinking about it, and now he quickly put it behind him.
I always feel that if he thinks about the past, he will be a little unhappy.
Liang Zhaozhao actually wanted to taste the hawthorn cake made by his father himself, but nowadays only children cook for their parents, and no one with a little background would let their mother cook, and his father hardly ever stepped into the kitchen.
She was really embarrassed to ask her father to make hawthorn cake directly.
But if she had to open her mouth to refuse, she couldn't bear it.
Therefore, Liang Zhaozhao only pursed his lips reservedly and swallowed.
Si Xingjian came back to his senses, seeing Zhaozhao's small movements, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Zai Zai's taste hasn't changed much.
After they arranged everything properly, they didn't leave Yuezhou right away.
An autumn rain that lasted for three days made them stay. Even the matter that Liang Zhaozhao had agreed with Si Anyue in advance to go to Qin's grave to worship was delayed.
Liang Zhaozhao stayed at home, chatted with Yueer, played chess, and listened to his father introduce some of the family's industries, the dignitaries in Beijing, and the state. situation and policies.
My father can even give me some pointers on medical skills.
Her father never treated her the way the secular world treats boudoir girls, which made her very comfortable.
She is not a restless person, nor does she like to run out all day, but she does not want to be trapped in the back house, embroidering, reading, writing...
With their mouths covered and their wings bound, they can only live on monthly money or rewards. When they marry in the future, they will look at their faces. If something happens to them, they have no power to protect themselves. They can only rely on the trust, favor or charity of others. come to ask for refuge...
This is not the life she wants.
The past experience made Liang Zhaozhao eager to make himself stronger, so that he would no longer be helpless, helpless and powerless.
She needs to understand the outside world and learn the skills she thinks are useful, and she doesn't want to be accused of "a girl, just learn to be a housekeeper and marry a good family in the future when she works hard to survive better. What are you doing?" Or "I'm running wild, I'm afraid I won't be able to live in IKEA in the future".
Did she live to marry?
The adoptive mother was deceived by Wang Ci and abandoned by him for giving birth to a daughter; sister Chen was killed by her husband who wanted to marry another rich girl after she got married; her mother remarried to Zhou Yong, who had many concubines, and the backyard of the Zhou family was full of smog; Her uncle Liang Shuwen lived in Huajie Liuxiang for most of the year, and drank and wandered the other half of the year...
She has seen this before, and she has no expectation of getting married.
Liang Zhaozhao thought to himself: One day, she will find a suitable time to test her father's tone and let him know what she thinks.
Her father is very open-minded and tolerant towards her, but she is not sure whether he likes children or not.
What if the father wants to see the third generation?
She is almost 14 years old and has reached the age of marriage. If her father arranges a marriage for her, she probably will not refuse.
It wasn't that she didn't dare to resist, but that she didn't want to let her father's thoughts go to waste, and didn't want to see her father disappointed.
Liang Zhaozhao soon waited for the right moment.
Li Chongshan invited Si Xingjian to a banquet and asked him to take the children to a small gathering.
Si Xingjian was reluctant to go at first, but thinking of the news he had received before - Li Chongshan belonged to King Ping's faction, and it might be useful if he wanted to deal with King Qi in the future; besides, they were only staying here temporarily. I'm going to leave in a few days, I didn't start a fire to cook, I went out to buy food all day, it seems good to have such an opportunity to eat.
So Si Xingjian prepared some gifts and brought Zhao Zhao and Yue'er to the door.
This time it was Li Chongshan and his wife Luo Caiwei who were entertaining the guests together. Apart from Luo Caiwei, there were no other female relatives in Li's residence, and the two families hadn't had much contact with each other before, so it was inconvenient for the younger generation to meet, after all, men and women are different.
When Luo Caiwei saw Liang Zhaozhao and Si Anyue, she was very rare. After she gave birth to two sons, she wanted a little padded jacket, and after she became pregnant, she especially liked spicy food. Later, she found out that they were twins. I thought I was going to give birth to a pair of Yuxue's lovely daughters.
In the end, it was a pair of cotton trousers, or the kind that leaked air.
It was not enough for her to pull out two jade hairpins from her head first - this pair of jade hairpins was specially prepared by her, suitable for little girls. He took down a pair of blood jade bracelets and put them on without any refusal.
"It was originally reserved for my pair of daughters, but I don't have that daughter's life. When I saw you, I felt destined. I wish you were my daughters. You have fair skin, and you look good in this."
The daughter-in-law can be regarded as a half-daughter, and later she planned to pass this pair of bracelets to her favorite daughter-in-law.
Luo Caiwei has already made up their minds, no matter which one, she is quite rare.
Not to mention anything else, just looks, how good-looking the child will be in the future.If it wasn't bad for two sisters to marry into the same family, she wanted both of them.
There are hundreds of daughters in a family, but there are four in her family who want to marry wives...
Si Xingjian didn't know that there were people who missed his two girls after just seeing each other. He and Li Chongshan had nothing to talk about, and they didn't take the initiative to find topics, and only occasionally dealt with each other.
Li Chongshan: You didn't look like this last time when you asked for something!
Li Chongshan was not good at words either, so he winked at Luo Caiwei.
At this time, they had also exchanged pleasantries, and it was time to talk about business.
Luo Caiwei said, "It's boring to sit still. There are a few precious chrysanthemums planted in the garden, and the hibiscus is also blooming. Let me take you to have a look?"
After they said a few polite words, Luo Caiwei left with a girl who was even more beautiful than Fu Rong.
After the female relatives left, Li Chongshan waved his hand to let all the waiters go down.
Si Xing understood clearly, and didn't bother to beat around the bush, so he said bluntly, "This is to verify what I said before?"
Li Chongshan was a little embarrassed. If he didn't pay attention to things like standing in a team, he might end up killing everyone, so he had to be cautious.I thought he was probing slowly, but after thinking about it later, it turned out that the other party deliberately revealed it to him.
"Who would have thought that King Qi would have that kind of thought, and hide it so deeply... In this way, wouldn't you be involved as well?"
"Yeah?" Si Xingjian snorted, seeing Li Chongshan's black face full of embarrassment, he didn't ask anyone else on purpose, but said: "I won't get involved, because I regret it."
"I won't let my daughter be a concubine, and I don't want any of them to get involved in trouble. I don't care whether it's King Qi or King Ping."
Listening to him mention King Ping, what else does Li Chongshan not understand?Si Xingjian definitely knew that he was standing in line with the king.
"You know? I don't simply want the merit of being a dragon. It's just that I, as a general, want to earn a title. The only way I can go is to go to the battlefield. Besides, how can I allow foreign races to contaminate the land of my Great Zhou? The barbarians are gone. The Great Moon Kingdom has changed dynasties, I am afraid that the next step will be my Great Zhou. And among these princes, only King Ping is the main battle."
Si Xingjian was not the original owner, and had no sense of identity with the Great Moon Kingdom, so he curled his lips in disdain and said, "Prince Ping? Just like his title, mediocre without talent."
King Ping's main battle is just to win over talents who are also leading the battle.
Li Chongshan immediately retorted: "King Qi is short-sighted, narrow-minded, and cruel. He has already done a lot of evil. He doesn't have the appearance of a wise king, and he doesn't even have the courage to expose his ambitions. I don't know why you like him? "
——You are the one who is blind!
For the second half of the sentence, Li Chongshan only dared to shout in his heart.
When Si Xingjian heard the words, there was no emotion in his heart, and he even nodded in agreement.
The one with poor eyesight is the original owner, so what does it have to do with him?
Oh, no, the original owner has a good vision. After all, the original owner had the idea of destroying the Great Zhou, so he carefully selected a faint king.
"King Qi is not very good, but King Ping is not too far behind."
Li Chongshan: "At least King Ping can listen to advice."
"Heh!" Si Xingjian smiled softly, his tone full of contempt, "If a person with strong opinions can listen to harsh advice, that's called accepting advice with an open mind; , shaped like a puppet."
Even Zhaozhao understands the truth, why don't these people understand it?
He just told Zhaozhao a few things about King Ping, and Zhaozhao commented: "If you can listen to what you say now, how can you guarantee that you will be willing to be manipulated by others after getting into that position? And how can you guarantee that what he listens to is What about loyal words? Slanderous words are far more pleasant than harsh words, and being a foolish king is always easier to enjoy."
The more incompetent the person who can only rely on others, once they gain power, they will always want to get rid of the shackles and get rid of their previous reliance to prove themselves.
Or his cub is smart.
Si Xingjian thought quite complacently.
In fact, Si Xingjian could also guess that most of the ministers supported Ping Wang, but it was a helpless move by the dwarf to pull out the general.
All the ministers who have foresight or do not want to see the ruin of the country hope that the next emperor can take the initiative to send troops to Jiang Guo, instead of passively counterattacking when Jiang Guo stepped into the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou after recuperating. Da Zhou may not be able to resist.
Jiang Guo is the new regime established after the destruction of the original Great Moon Kingdom.
Originally, Da Yue Kingdom and Da Zhou Kingdom were one country, but they were divided into two by a coup d'état. Both countries claimed to be orthodox and wanted to annex the other country.
It's a pity that the two countries have been in constant wars, large and small, and no emperor has been able to unify them.
The cultures of the two countries are in the same line, and there is no difference in language, characters, customs, etc. This is one of the reasons why the original owner and others were able to sneak into the Great Zhou Kingdom smoothly.
It is not difficult for the two countries to send secret cooperation to each other, and it is also a common occurrence.
It is precisely because the two countries are originally of the same origin, not only the people of the destroyed Dayue Kingdom regarded the Jiang people as aliens, but also the Great Zhou Kingdom.
In fact, in the year when the original owner was born, the Great Moon Kingdom had already shown signs of being overthrown—the royal family was infighting, and loyal officials were trapped.
Ten years later, the new emperor who ascended the throne was even more unbearable. He failed to turn the tide, but was so ambitious that he wanted to destroy the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The batch of detailed works of the original owner was dispatched by him during his reign.
He was not the subjugated king of the Great Moon Kingdom, but after his death, his sons killed each other in order to seize the throne.
As a result, one of the princes tried his best to get to that position, and within three years, the country was destroyed.
Four years ago, during the domestic turmoil and foreign aggression in Da Yue, they were still attacked by the Da Zhou Kingdom and the Jiang Clan on both sides, so they were naturally invincible.
In the end, the Great Jiang Kingdom replaced the Great Moon Kingdom.
The people of the Great Zhou Kingdom have never let go of their hearts. Many people know that the Great Jiang Kingdom will not stop here.It's just that Emperor Chengxi, who is currently in power in the Great Zhou Kingdom, is not too young, and he only keeps his promises, and doesn't have the courage to take the initiative to provoke Da Jiang.
Many people pin their hopes on the next emperor.
After all, the Great Jiang Kingdom hasn't had the energy to commit crimes in the past three to five years, and Emperor Chengxi is already old, so he shouldn't be able to survive for another ten years, right?
Liang Zhaozhao replied, "Yes."
"Can a concubine's room be righted?" Si Anyue was a little puzzled. This was one of the reasons why she was so resistant to marrying King Qi before - even the prince's side concubine was still a concubine after all, inferior to others.
Liang Zhaozhao replied: "Prudent people may not, but Zhou Yong doesn't follow the rules."
If he talked about the rules, there wouldn't be a bunch of concubines and concubines.
In fact, Si Anyue originally wanted to ask - no one cared about this kind of thing, it would never happen in the capital that this kind of favoring concubine and killing his wife would never happen.
Si Anyue: "When I was in the capital, I heard that a certain official's wife died. He wanted to help his beloved concubine, but he was impeached. Afterwards, he never married a wife."
Liang Zhaozhao smiled and said, "The capital city is at the foot of the emperor, so there are naturally strict rules and regulations. The sky is high here and the emperor is far away. Who cares about that?"
"However..." She draws her tone, "The current empress was originally only a concubine, didn't she recover after the former empress passed away?"
"Hush—" Si Anyue made a gesture of silence, "How can we talk about the matter of the empress so easily? Besides, it should be reasonable for the emperor to do so, that is the king of a country."
Because he is the king of a country, does everyone take it for granted?
Indeed, as an emperor, it is more difficult to marry another queen than to choose a successor directly from among the concubines, but it seems that it is not easy for those princes' families.However, only the emperor can do this, and no one criticizes it.
But Liang Zhaozhao didn't say these words out of his mouth, he just said lightly: "Outside, of course I won't talk nonsense."
Si Xingjian, who was listening to their conversation, said a word lightly, but it hit the point.
He said: "Rules are to restrain others and serve those who made them."
——At least in this era, those who require people to abide by the law are the least concerned about morality and punishment.
As large as a country, the emperor is the head; as small as a family, the father is the head.Monarchs and ministers are different, superiors and subordinates are orderly, superiors and inferiors are distinguished... All these rules teach people to obey and obey.
And those in positions of power enjoy the convenience brought by the rules, but they don't know how to obey the rules.
Hearing these words, Liang Zhaozhao felt something flash in his mind.
Although she didn't catch it, just like a wild goose leaving a mark, this idea is like a seed, buried in her heart, it will slowly germinate and grow.
Years later, when Liang Zhaozhao became a person who could set the rules, it suddenly dawned on her that a word from her father had provided her with a path she had never imagined.
At this time, Liang Zhaozhao didn't think too much, she just sighed casually, and didn't have too many cynical thoughts.
Of course, she didn't think it was reasonable to straighten the concubine's house, and she didn't appreciate the royal family's practice of "being strict with others and being lenient with others".But, what does this have to do with her?She has no leisure to care about these injustices.
She was quickly distracted by other things.
She wanted to arrange everything before leaving Yuezhou, and her father's proposal - whether to go to see Mrs. Liang and say goodbye, also made her a little tangled.
In fact, as early as Liang Zhaozhao saw Liang He, and told Su Mu Su Ye the news of her return, but did not reveal anything to Liang Shi, she had already made a decision in her heart.
But now, when her father spoke, she couldn't help but hesitate.
She originally thought that her father would not want her to get in touch with Mrs. Liang any more.
Whether it is from an emotional or rational analysis, if she refuses, it doesn't matter.
However, because she only met her father, she cared too much about his father's opinion, for fear that he would feel cold and heartless, thinking that she didn't value him as a father.
If she can be so cruel to her mother who has been with her for four years, what about her father who abandoned her for more than ten years?
She dared not take that risk.
It's just that Liang Zhaozhao is not willing to act out a picture of a loving mother and a filial son.
She was not close to Mrs. Liang, even after knowing that the other party was her biological mother.
Although Mrs. Liang brought her by her side, she actually had a faint resentment towards her in her heart, resenting her appearance for reconciling her parents, resenting her for not being liked by the original one... She is not a fool, how could she not feel it?
Coupled with the fact that the temperaments of the two are very different, there is not much speculation in the first place.
They didn't live in the same courtyard in the Zhou Mansion, so they got along even less, and they didn't develop a mother-daughter relationship at all.
Since the mother believed she had harmed the fetus, they had become more and more estranged.
After she fell into the water this time, her mother did not send anyone to look for her, but easily admitted her death. At that moment, Liang Shuying's daughter really died.
If nothing happened to the Zhou Mansion, after they had spread the news that she had died, if she returned to the Zhou Mansion alive, she would probably be beaten out as a liar or insane.
Probably, my mother still believed in this statement-her fate was too hard to hinder her mother's luck.
Being treated like this by Liang Shi, Liang Zhaozhao didn't feel sad at all, she only regarded Liang Shi as a stranger who was kind to her, and if he repaid the kindness in the future, he would not owe her anything.
When Si Anyue came to ask Liang Zhaozhao if she would go to the Zhou Mansion to bid farewell to Mrs. Liang, she resolutely said two words: "No."
After thinking about it, she still didn't want to act in front of her father.
"What about you?" Liang Zhaozhao asked back.
It was the two of them that my father asked before.
When Si Xingjian brought Yue'er here, she had promised to let her visit Mrs. Liang, so naturally she would not break her promise.
Hearing Zhaozhao's answer and rhetorical question, Si Anyue said softly, "I'm not going either."
Originally, for Si Anyue, Liang Shuying was a ray of light in her dark days and her obsession, but now those thoughts have changed.
These days, she sketched out an unclear image from Zhao Zhao's few words, which was quite different from the mother she remembered.
Si Anyue suddenly remembered the conversation between her father and her on the road before——
"Did Mrs. Liang treat you really well when you were young?"
"Then do you remember how she treated you? Are there any specific incidents that you can give examples?"
"You were taken care of by a nanny when you were young, but when you were five years old, you began to live alone."
"I don't treat you well. You have no one to care for you at such a young age. Naturally, you want to find a warm place."
At that time, she only thought that her father was sowing discord between her and her mother, but now her father's cruel words made her enlightened.
When her father was too strict with her when she was young, she would unconsciously think of the leisurely days in the backyard before, and she would have the idea that "it would be nice if my mother was by my side".
As time passed, she had a feeling that her mother was the one who loved her the most, and it was only because of her father that she had to separate from her father.
Most people need to be loved, and those who lack love sometimes magnify the goodness of others infinitely.
In fact, the mother she never forgets is just a cake she made for herself, lest she can't bear it.
Then just keep it in memory.
Si Anyue and Liang Zhaozhao looked at each other and smiled, one was relieved, the other was indifferent, neither asked the other the reason.
After Si Xingjian learned of their decision, she just nodded slightly, as if she had already expected it.
But he was feeling in his heart: Liang Shuying, a mother who did this, was actually quite a failure, unlike him, who made both children fall for him so easily.
In fact, Liang Shuying is not a villain, but was raised and abandoned by her stepmother.If it goes smoothly for her, that's fine, but once something happens to her, she can easily get confused.In the face of other people's schemes, she is powerless to fight back.
Si Xingjian understood that it might be difficult for a person like Liang Shuying to live a stable life, but he would not bring people around to take care of her.
As he and Ru Yan said, he is not her father, why should he take care of her.
At most, when something happened to her, he would let someone take care of him for a while or two.
After everyone made a decision, within three days, everything was arranged properly.
The matter of the Zhou Mansion was settled.
Before Zhou Yong's head injury healed, he was dismissed from his post and received another hundred military sticks, making him half a useless man.
Then Ruyan gave him some medicine to make him weak, so that he would not vent his anger on Liang Shuying when he was unhappy.
And the reason why he was dismissed was because Li Chongshan blamed him for the fugitive, but this is not wronged him-one of the dereliction of duty was paid for by him.
After listening to Ruyan's analysis of the pros and cons, Liang Shuying decided to send away Zhou Yong's children and adopted a concubine son of Liang Shuwen; she put Zhou's mansion up for sale, and bought another small house with a secondary entrance. After this change, it is not as good as before, and I have made up my mind to keep a low profile in the future and stop showing off my wealth.
Liang Shuwen's leg was broken and his right hand was also disabled. It is said that Zhou Yong sent someone to beat him.
What makes people feel strange is that his wife neither reported to the officials nor settled accounts with Zhou Yong.
What no one knows is that his wife Song claimed to go to Shangxiang to pray for her husband's safety, but in fact she went to fulfill her wish.
Song suppressed the joy on her face, and said in her heart: The gods and Buddhas of the heavens appeared, leaving Liang Shuwen with no hands to gamble, no legs to go whoring, and even harm to the maid at home, let alone the opportunity to influence her son career...
And Zhao Qing has deep merit and fame.
It is said that Yang Erhu, who was cut half to death by Zhou Yong, left Yuezhou with his mother after two days of recuperation.
At this time, it is reasonable for him to run for his life in the eyes of everyone.
A man who was not imposing but full of beards sent Yang Erhu out of the city, and warned: "My sister was killed by the adulterers because they found out that they had sex with them, so I thought of this way to take revenge." .It is also because you are a dutiful son, even though you are a little bit of an upright man, that's why I found you."
"But in the future, if you use this method to destroy people's reputation, I will definitely find you and cut off your tongue."
Yang Erhu even said "dare not", if it wasn't for the money to see the doctor and take care of his mother, he would not dare to talk nonsense this time, he would be an official.
He was not a liar before, so everyone will believe what he said this time.
This is why Liang Zhaozhao chose him.
The bearded man said again: "Also, don't go back to Yuezhou again, lest you really be hacked to death."
After threatening people, the bearded man threw a bag of money over, "Be filial to your mother, and find a job after you settle down, so as not to sit and eat."
Otherwise, when I have no money to see a doctor for my old lady, I probably won't be so lucky to meet Zhao Zhao.
Liang He thought of the anxiety and helplessness he felt when he had no money to take care of his adoptive mother's injury, so he made a point.
He was luckier than Yang Erhu, Zhao Zhao not only helped him, but also gave him a job.He has been with Zhaozhao for four years, and now he has not only learned a lot, but also saved a lot of money, and he is about to marry a wife.
Yes, this bearded man was exactly Liang He in disguise.
He didn't expect that Yang Erhu really listened to his reminder, and later Yang Erhu became a storyteller.
After Liang He sent Yang Erhu away, he felt a little worried. Looking at Zhao Zhao's arrangements, he had vaguely guessed that Zhao Zhao was planning to leave here, and he could only stay.
Liang Zhaozhao really only took Su Ye away, and she left Liang He because Liang He's adoptive mother was unwilling to leave her homeland.
She also asked Liang He and Aunt Yang to take care of Mrs. Liang.
As for Su Mu, she has promised to be Liang He's wife.
After Zhao Man, a 22-year-old bachelor, found out about this, he wished he could ask his master to give him to the second lady as a bodyguard. After all, the second lady is in charge of her subordinates' marriages!
Si Xingjian couldn't comprehend Zhao Man's grievances at all, so he only asked Zhao Zhao, "You like the hawthorn cake at Chunlai Teahouse, do you want to bring the pastry chef back to Beijing?"
What he said by "bringing back to Beijing" is to buy people and bring them home to be cooks.
There are also hawthorn cakes sold in the capital, but they are afraid that they will not suit Zhaozhao's taste.
But Liang Zhaozhao misunderstood him, thinking that Mu Jin had told him about Chunlai Teahouse, and he hinted that he could take Liang He away with him.
She shook her head, "No need."
I was organizing my language to explain to my father, when I heard him say: "It doesn't matter if you don't bring it, I can also make hawthorn cake."
It is indeed inconvenient for them to bring outsiders along the way.
Liang Zhaozhao: "..."
It's really just for the hawthorn cake? !
Seeing her surprised look, Si Xingjian thought she didn't believe it, and said, "I can also make candied haws." There are also hawthorn rolls, hawthorn pear shreds...
As Si Xingjian was speaking, some images suddenly flashed before his eyes: he was holding a four or five-year-old child in a cloak, and the child was holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand and handed him to eat; he put the candied haws into a broken bowl; He held two bunches of candied haws and talked to the child...
Is this the experience of a previous world?That child is his cub, he will not admit it wrong.
Si Xingjian knew that his memory was sealed, but he never insisted on thinking about it, and now he quickly put it behind him.
I always feel that if he thinks about the past, he will be a little unhappy.
Liang Zhaozhao actually wanted to taste the hawthorn cake made by his father himself, but nowadays only children cook for their parents, and no one with a little background would let their mother cook, and his father hardly ever stepped into the kitchen.
She was really embarrassed to ask her father to make hawthorn cake directly.
But if she had to open her mouth to refuse, she couldn't bear it.
Therefore, Liang Zhaozhao only pursed his lips reservedly and swallowed.
Si Xingjian came back to his senses, seeing Zhaozhao's small movements, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Zai Zai's taste hasn't changed much.
After they arranged everything properly, they didn't leave Yuezhou right away.
An autumn rain that lasted for three days made them stay. Even the matter that Liang Zhaozhao had agreed with Si Anyue in advance to go to Qin's grave to worship was delayed.
Liang Zhaozhao stayed at home, chatted with Yueer, played chess, and listened to his father introduce some of the family's industries, the dignitaries in Beijing, and the state. situation and policies.
My father can even give me some pointers on medical skills.
Her father never treated her the way the secular world treats boudoir girls, which made her very comfortable.
She is not a restless person, nor does she like to run out all day, but she does not want to be trapped in the back house, embroidering, reading, writing...
With their mouths covered and their wings bound, they can only live on monthly money or rewards. When they marry in the future, they will look at their faces. If something happens to them, they have no power to protect themselves. They can only rely on the trust, favor or charity of others. come to ask for refuge...
This is not the life she wants.
The past experience made Liang Zhaozhao eager to make himself stronger, so that he would no longer be helpless, helpless and powerless.
She needs to understand the outside world and learn the skills she thinks are useful, and she doesn't want to be accused of "a girl, just learn to be a housekeeper and marry a good family in the future when she works hard to survive better. What are you doing?" Or "I'm running wild, I'm afraid I won't be able to live in IKEA in the future".
Did she live to marry?
The adoptive mother was deceived by Wang Ci and abandoned by him for giving birth to a daughter; sister Chen was killed by her husband who wanted to marry another rich girl after she got married; her mother remarried to Zhou Yong, who had many concubines, and the backyard of the Zhou family was full of smog; Her uncle Liang Shuwen lived in Huajie Liuxiang for most of the year, and drank and wandered the other half of the year...
She has seen this before, and she has no expectation of getting married.
Liang Zhaozhao thought to himself: One day, she will find a suitable time to test her father's tone and let him know what she thinks.
Her father is very open-minded and tolerant towards her, but she is not sure whether he likes children or not.
What if the father wants to see the third generation?
She is almost 14 years old and has reached the age of marriage. If her father arranges a marriage for her, she probably will not refuse.
It wasn't that she didn't dare to resist, but that she didn't want to let her father's thoughts go to waste, and didn't want to see her father disappointed.
Liang Zhaozhao soon waited for the right moment.
Li Chongshan invited Si Xingjian to a banquet and asked him to take the children to a small gathering.
Si Xingjian was reluctant to go at first, but thinking of the news he had received before - Li Chongshan belonged to King Ping's faction, and it might be useful if he wanted to deal with King Qi in the future; besides, they were only staying here temporarily. I'm going to leave in a few days, I didn't start a fire to cook, I went out to buy food all day, it seems good to have such an opportunity to eat.
So Si Xingjian prepared some gifts and brought Zhao Zhao and Yue'er to the door.
This time it was Li Chongshan and his wife Luo Caiwei who were entertaining the guests together. Apart from Luo Caiwei, there were no other female relatives in Li's residence, and the two families hadn't had much contact with each other before, so it was inconvenient for the younger generation to meet, after all, men and women are different.
When Luo Caiwei saw Liang Zhaozhao and Si Anyue, she was very rare. After she gave birth to two sons, she wanted a little padded jacket, and after she became pregnant, she especially liked spicy food. Later, she found out that they were twins. I thought I was going to give birth to a pair of Yuxue's lovely daughters.
In the end, it was a pair of cotton trousers, or the kind that leaked air.
It was not enough for her to pull out two jade hairpins from her head first - this pair of jade hairpins was specially prepared by her, suitable for little girls. He took down a pair of blood jade bracelets and put them on without any refusal.
"It was originally reserved for my pair of daughters, but I don't have that daughter's life. When I saw you, I felt destined. I wish you were my daughters. You have fair skin, and you look good in this."
The daughter-in-law can be regarded as a half-daughter, and later she planned to pass this pair of bracelets to her favorite daughter-in-law.
Luo Caiwei has already made up their minds, no matter which one, she is quite rare.
Not to mention anything else, just looks, how good-looking the child will be in the future.If it wasn't bad for two sisters to marry into the same family, she wanted both of them.
There are hundreds of daughters in a family, but there are four in her family who want to marry wives...
Si Xingjian didn't know that there were people who missed his two girls after just seeing each other. He and Li Chongshan had nothing to talk about, and they didn't take the initiative to find topics, and only occasionally dealt with each other.
Li Chongshan: You didn't look like this last time when you asked for something!
Li Chongshan was not good at words either, so he winked at Luo Caiwei.
At this time, they had also exchanged pleasantries, and it was time to talk about business.
Luo Caiwei said, "It's boring to sit still. There are a few precious chrysanthemums planted in the garden, and the hibiscus is also blooming. Let me take you to have a look?"
After they said a few polite words, Luo Caiwei left with a girl who was even more beautiful than Fu Rong.
After the female relatives left, Li Chongshan waved his hand to let all the waiters go down.
Si Xing understood clearly, and didn't bother to beat around the bush, so he said bluntly, "This is to verify what I said before?"
Li Chongshan was a little embarrassed. If he didn't pay attention to things like standing in a team, he might end up killing everyone, so he had to be cautious.I thought he was probing slowly, but after thinking about it later, it turned out that the other party deliberately revealed it to him.
"Who would have thought that King Qi would have that kind of thought, and hide it so deeply... In this way, wouldn't you be involved as well?"
"Yeah?" Si Xingjian snorted, seeing Li Chongshan's black face full of embarrassment, he didn't ask anyone else on purpose, but said: "I won't get involved, because I regret it."
"I won't let my daughter be a concubine, and I don't want any of them to get involved in trouble. I don't care whether it's King Qi or King Ping."
Listening to him mention King Ping, what else does Li Chongshan not understand?Si Xingjian definitely knew that he was standing in line with the king.
"You know? I don't simply want the merit of being a dragon. It's just that I, as a general, want to earn a title. The only way I can go is to go to the battlefield. Besides, how can I allow foreign races to contaminate the land of my Great Zhou? The barbarians are gone. The Great Moon Kingdom has changed dynasties, I am afraid that the next step will be my Great Zhou. And among these princes, only King Ping is the main battle."
Si Xingjian was not the original owner, and had no sense of identity with the Great Moon Kingdom, so he curled his lips in disdain and said, "Prince Ping? Just like his title, mediocre without talent."
King Ping's main battle is just to win over talents who are also leading the battle.
Li Chongshan immediately retorted: "King Qi is short-sighted, narrow-minded, and cruel. He has already done a lot of evil. He doesn't have the appearance of a wise king, and he doesn't even have the courage to expose his ambitions. I don't know why you like him? "
——You are the one who is blind!
For the second half of the sentence, Li Chongshan only dared to shout in his heart.
When Si Xingjian heard the words, there was no emotion in his heart, and he even nodded in agreement.
The one with poor eyesight is the original owner, so what does it have to do with him?
Oh, no, the original owner has a good vision. After all, the original owner had the idea of destroying the Great Zhou, so he carefully selected a faint king.
"King Qi is not very good, but King Ping is not too far behind."
Li Chongshan: "At least King Ping can listen to advice."
"Heh!" Si Xingjian smiled softly, his tone full of contempt, "If a person with strong opinions can listen to harsh advice, that's called accepting advice with an open mind; , shaped like a puppet."
Even Zhaozhao understands the truth, why don't these people understand it?
He just told Zhaozhao a few things about King Ping, and Zhaozhao commented: "If you can listen to what you say now, how can you guarantee that you will be willing to be manipulated by others after getting into that position? And how can you guarantee that what he listens to is What about loyal words? Slanderous words are far more pleasant than harsh words, and being a foolish king is always easier to enjoy."
The more incompetent the person who can only rely on others, once they gain power, they will always want to get rid of the shackles and get rid of their previous reliance to prove themselves.
Or his cub is smart.
Si Xingjian thought quite complacently.
In fact, Si Xingjian could also guess that most of the ministers supported Ping Wang, but it was a helpless move by the dwarf to pull out the general.
All the ministers who have foresight or do not want to see the ruin of the country hope that the next emperor can take the initiative to send troops to Jiang Guo, instead of passively counterattacking when Jiang Guo stepped into the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou after recuperating. Da Zhou may not be able to resist.
Jiang Guo is the new regime established after the destruction of the original Great Moon Kingdom.
Originally, Da Yue Kingdom and Da Zhou Kingdom were one country, but they were divided into two by a coup d'état. Both countries claimed to be orthodox and wanted to annex the other country.
It's a pity that the two countries have been in constant wars, large and small, and no emperor has been able to unify them.
The cultures of the two countries are in the same line, and there is no difference in language, characters, customs, etc. This is one of the reasons why the original owner and others were able to sneak into the Great Zhou Kingdom smoothly.
It is not difficult for the two countries to send secret cooperation to each other, and it is also a common occurrence.
It is precisely because the two countries are originally of the same origin, not only the people of the destroyed Dayue Kingdom regarded the Jiang people as aliens, but also the Great Zhou Kingdom.
In fact, in the year when the original owner was born, the Great Moon Kingdom had already shown signs of being overthrown—the royal family was infighting, and loyal officials were trapped.
Ten years later, the new emperor who ascended the throne was even more unbearable. He failed to turn the tide, but was so ambitious that he wanted to destroy the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The batch of detailed works of the original owner was dispatched by him during his reign.
He was not the subjugated king of the Great Moon Kingdom, but after his death, his sons killed each other in order to seize the throne.
As a result, one of the princes tried his best to get to that position, and within three years, the country was destroyed.
Four years ago, during the domestic turmoil and foreign aggression in Da Yue, they were still attacked by the Da Zhou Kingdom and the Jiang Clan on both sides, so they were naturally invincible.
In the end, the Great Jiang Kingdom replaced the Great Moon Kingdom.
The people of the Great Zhou Kingdom have never let go of their hearts. Many people know that the Great Jiang Kingdom will not stop here.It's just that Emperor Chengxi, who is currently in power in the Great Zhou Kingdom, is not too young, and he only keeps his promises, and doesn't have the courage to take the initiative to provoke Da Jiang.
Many people pin their hopes on the next emperor.
After all, the Great Jiang Kingdom hasn't had the energy to commit crimes in the past three to five years, and Emperor Chengxi is already old, so he shouldn't be able to survive for another ten years, right?
