Chapter 697: Vigilance
Lin Zhixuan had already cleaned her hands, and the maid took a silk handkerchief to wipe Lin Zhixuan's hands, and Lin Zhixuan said: "The matter is urgent, and even the prince never cares about these false courtesies." Why does my mother have to pay so much attention to me?"
Mrs. Wang disagreed: "What is a royal family and what is a clan? And it's as particular as you can. This drink and food must be exquisite, and the demeanor must be even more exquisite. In this way, people will say that you have a figure, understand the rules, and know how to advance and retreat. ”
The little maid on the side didn't even wait for Lin Zhixuan to move her chopsticks, so she came forward to give Lin Zhixuan vegetables, all of them compared to the rules of the palace, Lin Zhixuan looked at it and twisted her eyebrows, and she didn't know what those ladies and wives had said to Mrs. Wang.
"Where did these rules come from? It's just the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of the royal family and those noble families. Then the emperor has to have someone to serve the cloth, why?
Because the emperor's meal required hundreds of dishes, no matter how big the table was, the emperor couldn't let him run over and pick up the dishes. So there were two minions next to him who were in charge of the cloth dishes. When the people below saw it, they were surprised, thinking that cloth dishes were royal rules, and it was noble to do so, but if you look at our small table, I can lift my hand, I can touch your bowl, and I can use these little girls to get in the way.
Besides, the post is set for the date, it is those officials at the bottom, who want to go into the high-ranking family to ask for a meeting, and the nobles are busy, so they may not have time to meet those who are insignificant. So you have to hand over the post first, show it to people, if you want to see it, arrange the day, make an appointment to meet at a time, if you don't want to see it, you will find a reason to send it away. My daughter came to see her mother, could it be that you can't come to see me for any major military events?
Where is the prince going, who do you see, I have never heard that he has also handed over a post, that is, he entered the palace to see the emperor and the queen mother, and he also said that he would go when he went, and the emperor and the queen mother greeted him with a smile. What mantra do you listen to their outsiders chanting to you here?
Those rules are all to restrain the slaves, not to restrict the master, to put it mildly, the rules are set by the master, whoever is the master, who is the rule. When he was in a high position, he said that everything others said was good, and he did not follow the rules, and people also said that he was true temperament. When you are a slave, no matter how you abide by the rules, you are just an obedient slave, and no matter how much you pretend, you can't become a master. ”
Mrs. Wang listened to Lin Zhixuan's slightly dissatisfied words, and felt that what Lin Zhixuan said was reasonable, but the reason was so reasonable, and Lin Zhixuan's last few words were a little excessive. After a long time, he hesitated and said: "Even if you are in a high position, you can't lose the rules too much, if you lose the rules too much, others will gossip." And as long as there are many slaves who gossip, I am afraid that the slave is not a slave, and the master is not a master. ”
Although Mrs. Wang is easy to be coaxed, she is still very cautious in her temperament.
Lin Zhixuan was also forced by Mrs. Wang just now, and she was guarding her own mother, so there was nothing she couldn't say, so she said something slightly arrogant to Mrs. Wang: "Yes, yes, I naturally listen to my mother's words in my heart." However, I am my mother's daughter, and I grew up beside you, don't you know what kind of character I am? It's just that now in this position, it is inevitable that the people below only know blind flattery. Only my mother would say such a thing to me, and I would only say such bold words to my mother.
If the mother likes it, it doesn't hurt to do so, the people below will naturally praise our Lin family for being exquisite, but if the mother doesn't like this trouble, then she will simply be the same as before, and no one will dare to say anything. As long as you are not confused in major matters, these subsections are as good as your mother likes. ”
Mrs. Wang nodded, and felt that it was very uncomfortable for a room full of people to eat, so she waved her hand and asked the green birds to go and eat their own food, there is no need to be around here, Mrs. Wang can talk to Lin Zhixuan in private.
It is said that food is silent, Lin Zhixuan has also developed a habit in the Hou Mansion for many years, because she is too busy with too many trivial matters, even when she eats again, she will listen to Qiu Ju Dongmei and give her a few things, and over time it has become a habit, and now she can't change it for a while. I just felt that I couldn't eat when no one was talking to me when I was eating. Naturally, he completely ignored anything, didn't sleep, didn't eat or speak.
Over the years, the more I get to a high position, the more comfortable I become, and many small things are as I like, and I don't pay so much attention to them.
Lin Zhixuan never felt that she had done anything wrong before, and even took it for granted, and no one dared to say anything more to her.
Now that Mrs. Wang suddenly said this, she also confessed as if she was angry, and said this truth for the first time. But some words seem to really can't stand up to scrutiny, and once they are said, they seem to have changed their taste, which is not the case.
Why did the Hou Mansion finally invite such a catastrophe, and why did Wei Yanxian still refuse to let himself go. Lin Zhixuan only felt that he had given in enough, but what kind of action he inadvertently made him feel jealous.
There is also the matter of the fire in King Jing's mansion this time, which was also picked up by Shuhui on the side, such an unruly thing, how could she actually agree to her!
Sure enough, people have been sitting in high positions for a long time, and there are more flattering people below, and many arrogant thoughts naturally arise, and what is even more terrifying is that Lin Zhixuan didn't notice it at all. She always felt that she was cautious enough.
But now even the little emperor almost died in King Jing's Mansion, for Lin Zhixuan and Wei Mingxu, it is just a reward for adding officials to the knighthood. Things seem to be a little bit wrong.
People will be cautious when they have natural enemies, and they will be enterprising when they have discipline. But once you reach a position where there is no one to control and no natural enemies, and the comfortable days have passed for a long time, you will naturally relax your vigilance and die in peace.
Lin Zhixuan made up her mind, when she went back this time, she must rectify the Jingwang Mansion well, and she couldn't let the arson pass quietly.
As for Chen's affairs, Lin Zhixuan also helped Mrs. Wang get an idea, and did not blindly listen to Shuhui's resignation from Chen. Although Lin Zhixuan had this plan in the past, it was the worst plan to do for fear that things would get out of hand, and in order to protect Lin Jiahong, she naturally had to sacrifice the Chen family.
But now that Lin Jiahong is fine, if he really divorces the Chen family and drives her back to her mother's house, she can't give birth, it is equivalent to forcing her to death.
