Chapter 156: The Dark Tide is surging
Although both I and the Ulanala clan thought that it would be impossible for the Li clan to come up with such interlocking and vicious methods, and did not think that the man would stop there, with the loss of the Li clan and the isolation of the unpleasant Yi clan, all the other courtyards got along harmoniously and harmoniously, and the mansion entered an unprecedented peace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The Ulanala clan also restored the rules of the morning and dusk provinces that should be in the house, and also took advantage of these times to get close to the two children of Hongli and Hongday.
However, in the morning and dusk of the province, the Li family always said that he was sick, and the Song family was ordered not to take half a step out of his courtyard from the day of the full moon of the Hongli calendar. It's Yishi, although it is an unpleasant existence, but he still goes on time with that self-righteous and arrogant look, and shamelessly asks for a sense of existence in front of everyone. No one is willing to ignore her, no matter what she does or says, she just ignores her as air.
In this kind of atmosphere where no matter how turbulent the dark tide is in the court, the house seems relaxed and comfortable, from the fifty-fourth year of Kangxi to the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi.
The Spring Festival of the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi is particularly lively, and the two brothers, Hongli and Hongday, are just six years old this year, and they will go to the study to study at the beginning of spring. The four-grid body born to Nian's has never been very good, and he has survived a year of illness, and he is almost two years old when he sees it, and he eats more decoction than milk every day, but he still has no improvement, and can only barely maintain it.
Hongli and Hongday Xu are well nurtured by me and Qian, the two children are in good health, and they have almost never had any serious illnesses when they are six years old, and they all have their own intelligence.
Because Hongli and Hongday's future way out has been arranged long ago, Qian is also relieved to hand over the two children to me for education, so according to the different personalities and natures of the two children, I have different ways of educating them.
When Hongli was three years old, he was already able to speak well, and he was like a human spirit, and he could coax everyone to laugh with a cold word. Therefore, for the teaching of Hongli, it is often mainly induced, and it is more about letting him listen and watch more and think more, and then draw his own conclusions and treatment methods.
Hongli was more civilized in speech than Hongli, and even when he was four years old, he still had incomplete sentences, and sometimes he couldn't even tell the difference between "you" and "I". At the age of three, he had learned all the Chinese characters that could be seen, and at the age of four he began to learn arithmetic and calendars, and almost showed a talent for not forgetting, and at the age of five, although he did not speak much, he was quick-witted, had his own ideas, and was quite steady and precocious in his work.
Yinzhen occasionally came over to see the situation of the two children, and felt that my way of teaching according to their aptitude was also good, so I was relieved to hand over the children's enlightenment education before the age of six to my own arrangement. However, compared with Hongli, in fact, Yinzhen prefers Hongday, and often privately praises Hongday's personality is like him, which is more stable and appropriate.
For Yinzhen's praise, I just smiled and said: "It's good to be like you, but it's also hard, I don't have big ambitions, I don't want my children to work too hard in the future, just be safe and stable." ”
Every time Yinzhen hears me say this, she will frown and say that I am a woman's opinion, which will make the child have no ambitions, but harm the child. I just didn't laugh at his words, and I still went my own way.
After the beginning of spring, Hongli and Hongday went to the study. On the first night before entering school, I said to Hongtian: "E-niang used to never restrict you to anything, but now that you and Hongli have reached the age of entering the study to study, we will go to study in the study tomorrow." E-Niang has a few words to have to explain to you, you and remember, no matter when, he is the elder brother, you are the younger brother, you both have to be brothers, friends and brothers, work together, so that no one dares to look down on and bully the two of you, and then you should be a younger brother to the elder brother in everything to assist and be humble, so in front of people, no matter how much you learn and how much you know, you don't need to be too exposed. You can help Hongli compete with others, but you can't compete with Hongli for half a point, understand?"
"Is E-Niang letting her son hide in front of others?" asked Hongtian in a childish voice.
"Yes, this is the truth that Eniang taught you before, 'you must learn to hide clumsiness in doing things, and learn to show timidity in life'. I touched Hongyang's head, pulled him to his side and said with a smile.
These two sentences have been reminded since he began to know things, which means that we must learn to be cautious in doing things, calm and down-to-earth, not frivolous, we must take it step by step, and do not rush forward, and would rather be wise and foolish than take it easy. And to be a man is to learn to bow your head, to show your respect for others, don't be ignorant of the heavens and the earth, only in this way can others teach you things, and you will not suffer.
"But E-Niang didn't teach the fourth brother like this" Hongtian questioned: "E-niang asked the fourth brother to have the courage to express his thoughts and opinions in front of others, not to be too modest, to learn to lead, not to passively accept." ”
In the face of a precocious child with an excellent memory, sometimes in addition to being relieved, there are also worries, and I am pleased with the child's intelligence, but I am also worried that I am too smart to be fooled. But this kind of time can't be avoided, otherwise it will make him have a wrong idea, thinking that his mother is inconsistent with people and things, and even rebellious.
"Everyone has their own character, just like Hongli has always been lively and kind words, if you let him talk less or don't speak, do you think he can hold back? And he is your brother, he will inevitably take on more responsibilities and obligations than you in the future, and may even inherit the title. And your character, E-Niang doesn't say, you should also know that you usually let you be able to speak good ways like Hongli, I'm afraid it's difficult for you to accept it, right? Not to mention that you are a younger brother, in the future, you just have to assist your brother to do what you should do, why do you need to compete for the limelight. Remember, if you say much, you will lose, and if you do much, you will suffer. Being a man and doing things, being safe, and protecting oneself is the best. I said, "Do you understand?"
Although I don't understand it a little, what Eniang said must be for the good of my son, and my son must remember it. Hongtian replied.
I said this is inevitably too profound, Hongtian is only six years old after all, it must be difficult for him to fully understand, but Hongtian has always been clever, and he also understands that I must be for his good, and that is enough.
Hongli and Hongli are not around, and Qian and I are also a lot more relaxed, except for going to the Wulanala clan to talk every day, we just stay in our own yard.
"Time flies so fast, even the two children are six years old in a flash, but when I first entered the house, it seems like yesterday. I don't know what the future holds. Qian put down the magpie homecoming that was embroidered in his hand and suddenly sighed.
I was holding the poems of the Ming Dynasty in my hand, and I happened to see Wang Shizhen's poem "In the dream, I have to be more hundred years and I must love today", and I didn't respond to Qian's words urgently, and muttered: "There is nothing in the palace of the incarnation, and the Taoist book is a volume of wine and a pot; Towards the love of the morning and the sun on the east, the sunset reflects the east; let his old people not understand, let him not talk about the affairs of the court. Occasionally, the wine glass on the desk is overlooked, and the monk occasionally tiptoes on the mountain; when he pours himself drunk, he should go by himself, and the ceremony is not set for my generation! Last night, I was stunned and overlooked, and I had to wake up when I was asleep and said: A hundred years will have to be more than a hundred years, and today we must love today. Even if you can return to your hometown with your clothes, you will not be idle in farming. ”
After reading it, he put the book on his lap, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Qian Yingying and said with a chuckle: "I like the sentence in this word 'a hundred years is more than a hundred years, and you must love today', do you know what this means?"
"It should be said that even if there is a hundred years in life, once a hundred years have passed, how can there be another hundred years. Time does not leave people, since we have today, we should take good care of it. Qian responded.
"Yes, don't count the past, don't mention the future, it's true to live in the present. So don't look back at the past, and don't worry too much about the future, now that the children are safe and healthy, and the house is still peaceful, it is a good time for us to recuperate, don't let yourself add trouble to yourself. I said.
"But if there are still people behind the Li family as you said back then, sister, then I'm afraid this peace is only temporary, and how can it not be remembered. Qian picked up the embroidery bandage again and hesitated for a long time, but he was not interested, so he simply put it aside and sighed.
"We are in the light, and the man is in the dark, and that is indeed a concern. Recently, I've been wondering what made that person settle down and not make any moves in the past two years since the Li family lost power. When you think about it, there's a possibility that this could happen. ”
"What possibility?" asked Qian in confusion.
"Let's uproot the Li family's hidden stakes in the mansion so that the person can't act rashly for a period of time, and temporarily loses the ability to act, or she was originally attached to the Li family, this person is afraid that in addition to his brain, there are not too many chips and hole cards for him to squander. After all, Prince Yong's Mansion doesn't have to go anywhere else, the fourth master has always been rigorous in employing people, and if he wants to bury so many hidden stakes like the Li family, he has no money, no power, and no power, so it is difficult to act. Now the rich and powerful people in the house are none other than Fujin and Nian's, and the powerful ones are none other than us, if she wants to bury her own power in this situation, the effort she needs to spend is not as easy and simple as the Li family back then. I smiled lightly.
"Listen to what my sister means...... The more this person thought about it, the more he felt like ......," Qian said with a smile of surprise on his lips.
Faced with the name that Qian was about to blurt out, I made a silent gesture, signaling her to understand in her heart, be careful that the wall has ears, and then continued: "Actually, I don't know, I just guessed seven or eight points, and those two or three points need to be confirmed." The main thing is that I haven't understood what this person is trying to do, since he has such a good brain, why do he have to help Li design us, why don't you have this kung fu to compete for your favor. ”
"Maybe the Li family has some relationship with her, or is it just that they are simply jealous of the two of us? Xiao Shunzi can check it?" Qian swallowed the name back and asked instead.
"I checked it, but the bottom is clean and innocent, and the two families have nothing to do with each other before, so it makes people feel unclear about what she is thinking. Maybe it's really only because of jealousy and hatred, who knows what others think," I shook my head and said helplessly.
"But after thinking about it, how do I think it won't be her, didn't my sister guess wrong? Qian thought about the person I guessed, but still felt unlikely, and muttered in contemplation.
"It's just that the fox always shows her tail, no matter who she is, what big waves can she make in this house now. If it really makes a big wave, then it has to be dismantled. I didn't think much of what I said, but I also thought about it in my heart.
Just as we were inadvertently talking about the man behind the Li family, that person was also secretly preparing us to fight back.
In the blink of an eye, Hongli and Hongday went to the study to study for three months, and without the company of the two children on weekdays, the Wulanala clan was exempted from greeting in the morning, leaving only the evening time to wait for the two children to get together after they came back.
Wulanala clan, like Yinzhen, likes Hongli is greater than Hongli, and often praises that although Hongli is not as lively and atmospheric as Hongli, he is extremely stable and introverted. But she also knew that I had never wanted Hongli to compete with Hongli, so I was also considerate and close to Hongli, but I didn't make a move to favor one over the other.
But for Nian's children, the Ulanala clan is much more indifferent. Although it's just a daughter, Xu is too weak, pampered all the year round, Nian's is also quite nervous, and I don't know what Nian's is guarding against, every time he mentions this child, he looks like he is avoiding taboos, as if he is afraid of being assassinated by someone, which makes the Wulanala clan very dissatisfied in private, always saying that Nian's is too cautious and hypocritical, and even taking a child is weak and squeamish.
Although in the face of the dissatisfaction of the Ulanala clan, I don't want to say much, but in my heart I can understand the reason for Nian's cautiousness, being a mother is strong, and the meat that falls from his body is naturally different from others, not to mention that this child is destined to be difficult to support as soon as he is born, and now he is finally raised to almost two years old, and he must be more precious and cared for.
The situation in the mansion has always been complicated, Nian is a smart person, she knows very well that Yinzhen's favor is not a blessing now, on the contrary, it is very likely to be the bane of people's eyes, and even if she has her brother Nian Qianyao behind her, but in the face of such a bunch of unclear and calculating women in the house, how can she not be more guarded.
"I like Nian's temperament," I said to Qian.
"My sister is relieved, and now because of her, the fourth master has come to our courtyard more and less, if you were someone else, I am afraid that I would have been jealous a long time ago, but my sister said that she liked this, which is really strange. If you let people who don't know know, I'm afraid you will only say that your sister is hypocritical, and there will be no good words. When Qian heard this, he joked with a smile.
"When do I care if others have good words, like is like, what can't be said. What's more, I persuaded the fourth master to go to her place at the beginning, and now how can I be jealous of this matter. I gave her a blank look and said with a smile.
Speaking of Nian's temperament, although she seems to be weak and indisputable, in fact, she is stubborn in her heart, from the moment she knew that Li used flowers and plants to blame the Ulanara clan to assassinate her, she immediately agreed to cooperate with the Li family, and so the suspicion was as long as seven months, without arousing the slightest suspicion of the Li family, it can be seen that she is a smart, tenacious, careful and endurance person. And no matter how favored she is, how good her background and backers are, she is always humble and gentle in front of the Ulanala clan, never exceeding the norm by half a step, and treats us as people as people as approachable, and is even more kind to her subordinates, which shows that she is not ordinary prudence and self-discipline. Even the people we buried beside her spread that she was also in front of Yinzhen, and often persuaded him to be wet with rain and dew, not to mention half a sentence that should not be said, and not to say anything that should not be asked, in short, the advance and retreat are quite good, no wonder Yinzhen Although she was close to her because of Nian Qianyao at the beginning, she will still think of her in front of me.
But Xu has a light view of **** these things after Hongday, and he knows very well that Yinzhen is not an ordinary person, it is impossible to have the feelings of ordinary people, but he is not jealous, he just thinks that such a woman who knows how to advance and retreat is really likable.
However, no matter how low-key Nian is, he tries to take good care of this daughter, but he can't stand the black hand that someone with a heart can prove. (To be continued.) )
