Chapter Forty-Six: There Is No Way Out
"Huan Niang, what's going on with you and that He Qi?"
As soon as Xu Chenghuan entered the door of the main house, Mrs. Bai really grabbed her and asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The three maids stared at each other, thinking that their wives were really ...... You asked someone to spy on Miss, and you were embarrassed to ask so aggressively?
Xu Chenghuan glanced at the strange looks of the three maids, and knew the general idea.
This mother's ...... But she liked it.
Except that she is not the original body, this is the way mother and daughter should get along.
There is no temptation, no deception, only the most thorough honesty and believing. Ask what should be asked, say what should be said, there is no need for so many twists and turns, you guess me.
If not, there will be trouble in the future.
She still remembers one of Xiao Shaoyun's sisters, Princess Anding from the first emperor and concubine, who was obviously noble, but after getting married, she lived extremely miserable and died of depression early.
Just because Concubine Xian has a strange temperament, she has never listened to her daughter's words to raise her grandmother, but she refuses to believe her own daughter, Princess Anding often had accidents before she got married, and later Princess Anding was humiliated by the concubine and her grandmother in the princess's mansion, and she cried with Concubine Xian many times, but Concubine Xian never paid attention to it, only thinking that she was too arrogant. Even the first emperor didn't take it to heart.
It wasn't until Princess Anding passed away that the concubine wanted to straighten out the favored concubine, and the first emperor noticed the clues, and after a thorough investigation under anger, he found out that the concubine bought through the cultivation of the concubine to kill his wife and humiliate the princess's filthy secrets.
And the ladies of the Gaomen family are beautiful, and there are not many who can get along honestly with their biological mothers.
Generally speaking, they are born surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, living separately from their mothers, and when they grow up, they either trust that the maids and mother-in-law are not close to their biological mothers, or their biological mothers are busy taking care of the back house, and they are unfamiliar with their daughters, similar to the tragedy of the mother-daughter disharmony of Princess Anding, which is not unusual.
And she Xu Chenghuan is so lucky.
In the previous life, Mrs. Wei Beihou, her mother, had a strong temperament, she couldn't hide things in her heart, and she never hid things from her, and the relationship between mother and daughter was particularly close, and in this life, Mrs. Bai is still like this.
So Xu Chenghuan did not appear embarrassed or annoyed at all as the maid expected, but the corners of his lips were crooked, revealing his little tiger teeth and smiling happily.
"Mother, what can I do with him, I just asked him why he came so coincidentally, if there was any inside story, he got angry, jumped up, and said that his father had told him to take care of our family before leaving. ”
Xu Chenghuan picked what he could say and said, "I thanked him a few more words." ”
"So, he knows everything about your father...... He Qi, this person really helped us this time, although my mother is not afraid of fighting with that Song Wende, but it is not good to spread it out. However, He Qi's temperament is a seedling who causes trouble, your father is involved with him this time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get rid of it in the future. But this is not something we have to worry about, you just need to remember it for me in the future, stay away from him, and don't be spoiled by him. ”
Mrs. Bai carefully admonished her daughter, thinking of her powerless son, she was angry again: "Your brother just has to follow this He Qi, He Qi is not good at studying, and your brother is not good at practicing martial arts, one by one, they all make my father and mother annoyed." ”
Xu Chenghuan glanced at Mrs. Bai deeply: "Mother, in fact, my brother is right." ”
"What?" Mrs. Bai never expected her daughter to suddenly say that.
Even if you don't hold a grudge against your son, then, you can't change your position so quickly, right?
Xu Chenghuan had a leisurely look in his eyes, which was meaningful: "Mother, think about it, why is it that Song Wende, who is also a seven-rank official, can be so arrogant to knock on the door of my Bai family?
"This, this ......"
Mrs. Bai was speechless, and only felt a grievance in her heart.
Yes, why is this? Isn't it because if it's peaceful today, the soldiers and generals are useless? The tigers and wolves have been defeated, who still takes mastiffs seriously?
The old man worked hard outside, but when he came to those officials who were born in Jinshi, he would always be half a head shorter.
That's why my son wants to devote himself to the imperial examination and become a civil official in the future?
Thinking about the beating that her son has been beaten for refusing to practice martial arts for more than ten years, Mrs. Bai's strength seems to have been taken away.
"But our family, there is not even a road, your brother, if he wants to take this road, he can only walk alone, it's too hard......"
"Mother!" Xu Chenghuan took Mrs. Bai's hand and persuaded: "If you want to follow what your mother said, then the scholars of the poor family will not study at all? If you don't have real talent and real learning, even if you are the son of the prime minister's family, you don't even want to pass the exam. What's more, the children of our military generals' families have no way to be promoted, which is really difficult. It is said that the martial arts in the capital are hereditary, when the Great Qi Dynasty was founded, the military generals were highly meritorious, and they had so many dukes and marquises, and they also had to seal their wives and sons, favor their descendants, and seal them from generation to generation, not only in the capital, but also in the locality, there are not many seats left for people like us who have no foundation. ”
Xu Chenghuan helped Mrs. Bai to sit down, and gave her an analogy: "Don't talk about it, let's just say that my father is also nearly fifty years old, why can I only be a boss so far? My brother has the heart to study, this is a good thing, don't worry about it, no matter what, reading can also be reasonable, it's better than a ruffian like He Qi, isn't it?"
Although she didn't know where her daughter heard these words, she immediately believed most of them, and glanced up at her daughter: "Really?"
Xu Chenghuan nodded affirmatively: "It's true, don't worry about your brother." ”
She didn't have a word of lie about this.
Prime Minister Song Wenru is highly respected, only to know people, is the first emperor of the important minister, to this day, is also the head of the hundred officials, but the only son is not angry, the exam again and again, over thirty is still a show, has become a big joke in the capital. Later, even Xiao Shaoyun couldn't stand it anymore, and pondered that he wanted to give his son an extra reward and what kind of official reward, but Song Wenru sternly refused, and wrote to accuse the emperor of favoritism.
Speaking of which, Song Wenru is really a gentleman, but his brother Song Wende turned out to be a real villain.
In addition, Weibei Houfu is still a hereditary title, after the founding of the country, now they are only on the surface, and there is no real power in their hands, not to mention those declining marquis, in addition to the hands of several great princes, the rest have long been taken into the hands of the first emperor.
Even if Bai Xianghuan really went to practice martial arts and join the army, how much stronger could he be than Bai Bingxiong?
persuaded Mrs. Bai and persuaded her to drink some soothing decoction and lie down to rest, Xu Chenghuan walked out, stood under the eaves and looked at the swallow's nest that had been built on the beam, and sighed.
There was no war to fight in Daqi, and from the perspective of stability, it was a situation that all the people eagerly looked forward to.
The emperor was stable, the courtiers were conscientious, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Everyone was satisfied.
But Empress Xiaoyuan, who was under the imperial mausoleum, was very dissatisfied.
She Xu Chenghuan was very dissatisfied!
Everyone obeys the principle of "the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die", but she is unwilling to die in such a daze.
But what does she have to do so that she doesn't disturb this peaceful and prosperous world, and can get revenge on herself?
Xu Chenghuan was in a trance, and there was a feeling that there was no way out.
Why did Xiao Shaoyun kill her, and would he attack Weibei Houfu again after killing her? What did he want to do next?
Did he ever have any sincerity for her?
She didn't know anything.
So, how could she give up any chance to go in front of Xiao Shaoyun?
Whether it's Bai Bingxiong or Bai Xianghuan, as long as you can go to a high position, anything is fine.
She didn't believe that God let her still be alive, just to watch Xiao Shaoyun live a long life and live for generations, it would never be like this!
There must be a way!
The two flying swallows above his head were busy, Xu Chenghuan looked up for a long time, and then calmed down and walked back to his bedroom with a calm expression.
