Chapter 377 War and Peace
After being touched by Xue Niang, Yuemian was sad and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. But now the royal palace is at its peak, and I am afraid that something will happen after the peak, so the couple wanted to avoid it.
Xue Niang sighed again at this time: "Yuemian, you have always been a smart person and know how to plan for yourself. My aunt is timid and afraid of things. She has been wandering since childhood. She is really afraid of the hard days outside. She has delayed her marriage and then she has stopped thinking about it. You are different. Although your family is in a downturn and your family is sold in the royal palace, after all, you have never suffered from the hardships outside. You don't know the dangers outside and the hardships of life. We, like the people, have long since broken news with our tribe members. Without family protection, it is like having no support. If you really go outside, any street bully can destroy your family. No matter how flexible your mind is, you can
When doing business, a small official who patrols the streets can blackmail you under his own name. It is not easy to expect your husband to pass the imperial examination. If you have any other problems, then Madam Qing came back from the Meng family that day and mentioned a little, saying that the princess's sister married a scholarly family from other places. There are several juren among the uncles and brothers. To put it nicely, if the aristocratic families really have a foundation, they will not be limited to a few juren. Your husband is now just a scholar, so he dares to say that he will pass the exam with his own strength? So what if he can pass the exam? There are so many juren in Yancheng, and there are those who live a tight life that day, so how about you?"
Yuemian was stopped by Xue Niang's series of questions.
Although she was a little smart, she had always been growing up in the royal palace. When she was a child, her parents always lamented that the family sold themselves as slaves, and they were ashamed of their ancestors, and they were determined to save money to redeem themselves and become a good citizen. Unfortunately, their parents had a hard life and went to the death. However, their father was unwilling to give up when they died. When she grew up, she found a way to redeem themselves as a good citizen, and then adopted a child for her parents' family to inherit the incense, so that their parents would not lose their pulse.
She always remembered that it was not easy for a little maid to redeem her body. Even if she had no relatives and no reason, where could she go? She could only plan slowly and wait for the opportunity. So when the princess asked to choose a few maids to marry an orphan outside, she was moved. She had been planning for many years, but she couldn't find any opportunity. She looked older. She gritted her teeth and felt that the orphan was about to be fulfilled. The most important thing was to fulfill her parents' wishes.
It was a surprise that she could have such a good result in the end. She was really satisfied. It was not that she wanted to leave. It wasn't that she wanted to leave, but she had to take her aunt away.
It was just because she had touched her husband indirectly and asked if she could adopt her child, and her husband flatly refused, saying that their clan had experienced several wars and now only two of him and his younger brother were left. It was not too many to have seven or eight children, so how could he adopt them to others? It was not from the same clan, so it must not be.
For a while, she also understood the ideas of scholars quite well. Scholars are gentle and can discuss certain things, but certain things will never change their minds.
As a last resort, she could only think of another way. Although she wanted her aunt to marry her, she also had her little thoughts, hoping that the important task of adopting her child to continue the incense for her parents' family fell on her aunt's head.
But now that she was questioned by her aunt, she felt that it was indeed very dangerous outside.
His husband was afraid that the incense would be cut off and he did not want to get into the temple for no reason. She thought it made sense, but what his aunt said was not right. If you really want to go out, you will have no relatives or reasons. What can you do if your husband can't take his shoulders and hold his hands or hold them?
Seeing this, Xue Niang advised as an elder: "Yuemian, if you want to be careful, it's okay if you just want to live a peaceful life. You can go out with him, either concentrate on studying and taking the imperial examination, or open a library to teach apprentices. Your husband is already a scholar, and you have another pair of hands, so you can't be hungry, but it's hard to achieve success in this life. Are you willing?"
I asked Yue Mian again with a word of reluctance. She was willing to think that those aunts in the yard would just live their life casually, and they would have to be petty for a few cents?
Xue Niang shook her head: "Yuemian, my aunt advises you to think about it carefully. Your man has read too much and is very enthusiastic about his business. Don't be foolish with him. I really hear that he is outside. He is a man who is still dragging his younger brother. How can he live? It is not enough to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone for him by himself by relying on the money he earns from teaching a library. At that time, you have to go out to earn money to support his family and support him in school. Maybe you have to pay for his younger brother. Are you really happy? You have to think about it, you have to show up in business and become a merciless woman for a few years. How can he not be disgusted with him as an official? This must be a situation that can be achieved. If you can't afford it, you will be
Waiting to be a small businessman for their brothers, my aunt just can't trust men, and she never married for her whole life. I wonder how many sisters brought generous dowry to marry poor students. What's the result? How many couples are happy? Most of them fail the exam in their whole life. The few are good if they pass the exam. There are many people who hold their concubines on their left and right. It's better to marry those little landlords who like to marry their maids. At least they like to be educated by their maids and can raise their wives and children, so they won't suffer hardships when they are young, and they will dislike their sisters as maids when they are developed."
Yuemian left sadly by Xue Niang's words.
This scene was overheard by someone who was interested and was passed to the ears of Madam Qing.
Madam Qing pinched her head and tail, concealed those alarmist words, and told Su Yiqing to listen.
Su Yiqing smiled after hearing this: "Xue Niang is a sensible person."
Madam Qing was a little angry: "This Yuemian is really true. It's because the princess is so kind to her, and there is also that scholar Fang. It's really not a thing."
Su Yiqing didn't agree with it. People always had to make plans for themselves. Thinking that the relatives of Fang Xiucai died for the royal palace. For the Prince Ding Mansion, it can be considered a dedication to the Prince Ding Mansion. People have long since owed the Prince Ding Mansion. It is understandable to want to have a peaceful meal. There are no such many loyal people in this world who are broken into pieces without complaints.
As for Yuemian, if she has such a delicate mind, the woman who will plan for her is even more loyal. Besides, if she is married, she will be even more wrong with her husband.
However, Xue Niang made her look at her with some admiration. The woman who seemed a little dull and had such a clear understanding of the world. Did she be wise and stupid in the past behave or deliberately hide her clumsy? No wonder even Yufeng asked her to take care of Linglongyuan, and she did use the things to the fullest. Listening to her persuasion to Yuemian, it would be the best way to persuade those women who had thought about it.
Madam Qing looked at Su Yiqing without saying a word, thinking she was unhappy, and thought she was smart and offered her advice: "Princess, should you hit Yuemian and his wife? This kind of thought is unsatisfactory. Or maybe you just find an excuse to expel Yuemian from the palace. Such a maid with dissolute intentions is really unsatisfactory."
Su Yiqing shook her head: "Forget it, let's forgive others, and there is nothing wrong with Yuemian and his wife. After Xue Niang's reminder, Yuemian might have another plan in her heart. It is inevitable that the couple will be rifted, so why bother causing trouble? After all, Fang Xiucai's family has made great efforts for the royal family, so that people will tell you gossip about the royal family later. You should treat this matter as if you don't know. Don't spread it anymore, otherwise you will be responsible for what happens."
"Yes. Princess, I will definitely not say it." Madam Qing promised.
Su Yiqing just said it casually. She didn't really suspect that Madam Qing would tell her about it. Madam Qing could still keep her mouth shut for so many years in a wealthy mansion.
It was the words of Fang Xiucai that cast a shadow in her heart. Although Madam Qing pinched her head and tail, she still knew some of the causes and consequences after thinking about it.
A mere scholar can see that the situation in Dingwang Mansion is now severe. Is it really so dangerous?
Su Yiqing's usual practices will not keep some thoughts that affect physical and mental health in her heart.
When Lian Yufeng came back and had dinner together, he told Lian Yufeng about this matter.
Lian Yufeng no longer had the same relaxed look as before, and his mood seemed a little heavy.
Su Yiqing's heart also sank, holding his hand and said, "Is it really that serious? Don't worry about me. Tell me the truth, I have come over so many ups and downs and can bear it."
Lian Yufeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, held her hand with his back, and said, "Don't worry about the matter in the court. The emperor is far from being able to kill a donkey... It's news about Dajing, maybe you will mind it after hearing it."
"What's the matter?" Su Yiqing secretly speculated, was it because Mrs. Zhou's actions?
Even Yufeng didn't dare to let Su Yiqing guess, and quickly said: "It's about Zhao Boyang."
Zhao Boyang and Su Yiqing suddenly looked up, and then caught a trace of gloom that flashed through Lian Yufeng's eyes. They could only resist the anxiety in their hearts and dare not ask. After spending time together, the two of them avoided mentioning Zhao Boyang.
Even Yufeng is a normal man. Normal men will mind that their wife has had a relationship with other men, not to mention that he forced her to break up with her and Zhao Boyang. Otherwise, her fate might have changed completely. Of course, if it were based on the trajectory of the original destiny, it might have been better or worse. But since it has not happened, many people will think about it in the better sense, thinking that if that was the case, it would not have been like this now.
Especially now that Zhao Boyang has risen and proclaimed himself king, he even regarded Yufeng as a high-ranking and powerful minister on the surface. It depends on the emperor's expression and destiny is in the hands of others. By comparison, the advantages and disadvantages appear.
She knew that Lian Yufeng was concerned, so she didn't dare to show her concern for Zhao Boyang, especially since Lian Yufeng knew only about her relationship with Zhao Boyang in Dajing Yancheng. She didn't know that she and Zhao Boyang had such a fate. In recent years, she couldn't help but regret her original choice in the most difficult times. It's not a pity that Lian Yufeng thought so.
If Lian Yufeng knew what she was doing in Yunzhou, although she would not do anything, she would inevitably have ideas, so she was inexplicably guilty.
Lian Yufeng plucked the broken hair on Su Yiqing's temples and said lightly: "The Meng Clan wants to betroth Princess Yushan to Zhao Boyang."
Su Yiqing was relieved at first, because it was not a unfortunate news, and then she was a little shocked. The Zhao family and the Meng clan were considered enemies. The Zhao family had killed so many people of the Meng clan. Even the king of the Feng clan was killed by Zhao Boyang's father. How could these two sides still get married?
Despite her surprise, she still did not ask directly, and said: "Will the marriage between the two sides be detrimental to the Great Zhou?"
Perhaps her concern made Lian Yufeng quite satisfied. Something in his eyes faded a little and nodded: "Yes, the Meng clan had married our dynasty to attack Dajing together, but our dynasty had been delaying, just wanting to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. In addition, Princess Xiangshan married into the royal family and had been moving around. Although she had made friends with many noble ladies, it was difficult to control the court with just one woman. The Meng clan was not harmonious, and there were also disputes within them. Now Princess Yushan and Princess Xiangshan were not born by the same mother, and belonged to different factions. They wanted to fight for another alliance."
"But, Dajing is now divided into three parts of the world. Even if he wants an alliance, he doesn't have to choose Zhao Boyang." Su Yiqing was a little confused. With such a big blood feud between Zhao Boyang and the Meng clan, why would the Meng clan members still cooperate with him?
Lian Yufeng smiled: "You don't know this. The people of the Meng tribe are strong and belong to the external tribe. They only respect the strong and can defeat them. Instead, they admire them even more. Zhao Boyang is a generation of war god in their hearts. He can cooperate with the strong. The people are more convinced. Compared with the Emperor of Dajing who can't even defend a good country, and the King of Qi who doesn't understand, the people admire Zhao Boyang even more and more, and the cooperation between the two sides is more acceptable."
There is also such a thing. Su Yiqing really felt that she was still a little ignorant, so she asked carefully: "Even if this is the case, you don't have to worry too much! Isn't it just a marriage? This kind of relationship is not reliable, right? There is also a Xiangshan princess in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the two sides are similar."
Lian Yufeng sighed: "Before the person was sent, the news had already reached the Great Zhou Dynasty. I am afraid that there will be people who are interested in making a big fuss at this time."
"What article can I do?" Su Yiqing probably had a pregnancy relationship, and her mind was not as fast as before.
"Forcing me to express my opinion on Dazhou." Lian Yufeng said concisely, "To put it directly, forcing Dazhou to choose one between war and harmony."
