At this time, Sheng Shenghe was practicing calligraphy, and when he heard this, he stopped writing and looked at him, and said, "Axi, if you only know how to fight and kill, the shore may not be suitable for you." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

There was not much reproach in his expression, and his tone was even very gentle, but Gongsun Xi's face changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to plead: "My subordinates have overstepped!" Please, Chief, punish you! ”

"Since the king of Dinghai, who dominated the seven seas, swept away General Zhou, although the sea bandits have not been extinct, there is no unified rule, like the Gongsun clan, like the Han clan and the Pan clan before, they are all working separately." Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't call out, didn't even look at him, only turned back to the unfinished notebook in front of him, and continued to write ink, while saying lightly, "So when the rules pursued by each other conflict, whoever has the sharpest sword is right." ”

"This is a bandit."

"Righteousness, Honor, Right and Wrong...... It doesn't matter, they only recognize interests! ”

"Take the Gongsun clan that we are all familiar with, do you think that they have been planning to go ashore since the old sea lord of Gongsun, because their conscience found out that they and their ancestors had done too much, so they thought about washing their hands in the golden basin?"

"It's just because they have a long-term vision and see that the imperial court is not exhausted, all because of today's slack political affairs, which leads to the clan, relatives fighting for power, and there is no heir, which makes people inside and outside the palace panic, and the superiors pay attention to their own benefits, and have no time to pay attention to the disease of ringworm such as bandits, so that they are at ease in these years!"

"And the seventeenth practice of the Son of Heaven, this year is the thirty-second year of Xuanjing."

"Even though there has not yet been news in the palace that the Son of Heaven is in good health, the issue of the crown prince has reached the point where it can no longer be delayed!"

"Now the two factions with the most fierce struggle between the DPRK and China, King Gaomi and his cousin Meng, no matter who wins, will definitely be the dominant family!"

"Shall he who emerges from such a court struggle be idle? I was busy with intrigue before, but once I freed up my hand, how could I not pay attention to Ruru in the north and the pirates in the south? ”

"Ruru is nomadic for a living, the grasslands are vast, and it may not be an overnight task to annihilate them; These bandits in the south are said to be on the island of Xiaoju, and they are at ease, like a small country outside the world. However, Hawksbill Island is already a rare good land, there are mountains and rivers on the island, as well as a natural harbor, Rao is so, and it still needs to rely on shore procurement to ensure that the bandits have no worries about food and clothing! ”

"Not to mention that the sailors of the imperial court have not yet reached the point of vulnerability, as long as the people sent to suppress the bandits are not so stupid, they go down with a piece of paper, watch the sea ships in various ports, strictly check the daily necessities in them, and cut off the supply of the islands; and then put a heavy reward on the bandits; It is announced that those who have committed lesser crimes can exchange the heads of those who have committed serious crimes for lenient treatment and preferential treatment for their families, and the period of civil strife among the bandits is just around the corner! ”

"Even if there are still a handful of bandits who are unrepentant and rely on the island to produce a stubborn resistance, how many people can be raised in the land of the island?"

"At that time, I'm afraid that the slightly larger merchant ships won't be able to make up their minds, and at most they will extort some small fishing boats that go out to sea to fish!"

"The reason why the Gongsun clan wants to go ashore is precisely because they saw such a future in advance and hoped to escape!"

"You and I grew up on Tortoiseshell Island, and although we are not willing to join the bandits, we are not bound to be exposed to the habits of many bandits." Sheng Sleeping Crane finished writing, put the gilded tortoiseshell pen on the crystal pen mountain, and put his hand in the silver basin with clear water next to it, "But now that I have arrived on the shore, I have changed my innocent identity, and I am determined to take the right path of grandeur, this idea and practice should also be changed!" ”

"Otherwise, when we were on Hawksbill Island, those who were unwilling to join the gang either out of timidity or because of conscience would have died."

"Do you think that the other way around, the one that goes ashore and on the sea is no problem?"

"If that's the case, what are the likes of the Gongsun clan doing when they go to the sea to be pirates?!"

"Wouldn't it be majestic to kill all sides directly on the sea?"

Pulling down the snow-white brocade on the rosewood shelf to dry his hands, Sheng Sleeping Crane finally turned his head to look at Gongsun Xi on the ground - at this time, Gongsun Xi was about to lie on the ground, sweating and said: "My subordinates know their mistakes!" ”

"Get up!" Sheng Menghe snorted coldly, "Sheng Lanci is not a stupid person, he discussed with me at the beginning and asked me to enter the Sheng family in the name of his outer room, just to prepare a backup hand for his obedient girl, lest after the couple go, his daughter will be bullied helplessly!" Even if he will have biological flesh and blood now, even if it is a male heir, he is too old to be a sister! ”

"To put it mildly, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. Although Sheng Lanci and his wife are in good health, they are about forty people, if they don't see this little son grow up, send me away now, do they let their delicate children and daughters depend on each other? ”

"Can they rest assured?"

"What's more, I came to the Sheng family, although I discussed privately with Sheng Lanci before I went to cross the road in front of my eldest brother, but the whitewashing of Tortoiseshell Island is also all on my shoulders - Tortoiseshell Island has been respectful to the Sheng family in recent years, and it is nothing more than that the way to go ashore must pass through the Sheng family!"

"If the Sheng family has bad intentions towards me because Mrs. Feng is pregnant again, and the future of Tortoiseshell Island is cut off, you see if my eldest brother will be so docile and kind!"

"Even if the Sheng family is not afraid of tortoiseshell island, but my current status is only a concubine from the outer room, and I can't share the majority of the family property when I have a son-in-law - I promised to come to the Sheng family, mainly because of the accumulation of Shilin in Tusheng Lanci, not the Sheng family's family property, and the many years of tortoiseshell island looting the Quartet, is the family wealth saved by the Gongsun family a small amount?"

"Even though I am not of the Gongsun family's bloodline, but after Zhao'an in the future, the Gongsun clan will have to take it out to pave the way for me in order to make my situation better, so that the tide will rise!"

"Even if Sheng Lanci doesn't want my own flesh and blood to be divided by me, at most he will discuss with me in private, and he will never directly turn his face with Tortoiseshell Island for this little thing - the four generations of the Gongsun clan are bandits, but they are not so easy to exterminate!"

"Even if it is for the sake of his children not to be retaliated against in the future, he will not dare to take this risk!"

"Take 10,000 steps back, this Sheng family really can't tolerate us, it's difficult for you and me to leave?

He sneered, "No matter how difficult it is, it's hard to escape with injuries from Han Pan's ambush back then?" ”

When Gongsun Xi heard this, he said cautiously: "The leader's weapon, don't his subordinates know?" The subordinates are not worried that Sheng Lanci will turn his face against you for the family property, but he is afraid that after he has his own flesh and blood, the Shilin accumulation that he originally said will not be given to you! ”

"It's impossible!" Sheng Sleeping Crane shook his head and said, "How old is this kid from me?" To put it mildly, it's enough for me to be his father at my age! Sheng Lan has been in the office for more than 20 years, even if he has a good wrist, he still maintains the connections when he was in the Hanlin Academy, but there is a way that people go to tea and cool, and after many years, they must be indifferent. ”

"I don't use these feelings now, until the child that Mrs. Feng is pregnant with now lands, I don't know if it's a man or a woman, even if it's a man, when he grows up enough to use it, I don't know how much of those favors are left!"

"Instead of wasting it in vain, it's better to use it for me now, and I will still be on this child in the future!"

He concluded, "So Sheng Lanci and his wife either discussed with me privately and supported me as agreed, but asked me to promise not to share any family property in the future; Either simply be generous to the end, really treat me as Sheng Lanci's bloodline, and divide things according to the concubine's share. Anyway, they won't make an enmity with me because of this! ”

In fact, Sheng Lanci and his wife were even more generous than he thought - the next day, when the flowing water banquet arrived at night, Sheng Sleeping Crane, who had helped greet the guests all day, returned to Yuanzhuxuan, bathed and changed clothes, and saw Xiquan personally waiting outside, and said with a smile: "The old lady has something to discuss with the eldest prince, and please ask the eldest prince to move to the spring platform!" ”

Because it was a seven-day, seven-night flowing feast, the feast was held as usual in the evening.

It's just that most of the people who come to eat and drink at night are not important people, so you don't have to worry about the host's family, just call the two stewards to say hello.

Sheng Sleeping Crane agreed, went to the inner room to change his robe, and when he walked with Hoshiquan to Chengchun Terrace, he heard the sound of orchestral strings coming from the front hall, and the noise of guessing and drinking.

Xiquan quietly looked at Sheng Shenghe's expression, and saw that he was calm and composed, obviously not stimulated by this excitement at all, and he didn't have any apprehension about going to see Sheng Lanci and his wife at this moment-she secretly appreciated it in her heart: "Although this eldest prince is not born to our wife, this bearing is really not bad!" The top and bottom all knew that because the lady had no children for many years, the master took him back. Now that Mrs. is happy, and the house is celebrating like this, the old lady on this eye bone summoned the eldest son, even I, a henchman who has served the lady for many years, is a little solemn, but the eldest prince is still calm, in the end, Xie Yuan, is unusual! ”

She had a good impression of Sheng Sleeping Crane, and when she was about to arrive at Chengchun Terrace, she couldn't help but say comfortingly: "Don't worry, don't worry, looking at the old lady's expression, it shouldn't be a bad thing!" ”

Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled at her: "Thank you, auntie, my father called me, how could it be a bad thing?" ”

Xiquan secretly praised his answer for not leaking, and said in his heart that if the child Feng is now pregnant with is a male heir, it would be good if he could be as talented and graceful as this eldest son.

Just thinking about it, they had already arrived in front of the hall, and the little maid at the door saw them and said, "The old lady just said that the eldest prince has arrived, just go in directly." ”

When Xiquan heard this, he asked Sheng Sleeping Crane: "You can go in by yourself, there should be only the master and the lady inside." ”

There was indeed only Sheng Lanci and his wife in the house, and when they saw Sheng Sleeping Crane coming in, they all looked kind and happy, and said, "Today's flowing water seat, thank you for your hard work!" ”

Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled: "It's just a little entertainment, it's not worth mentioning." ”

"It's going to call you over and nothing else." Because Feng Shi is almost forty years old after all, even if he has already given birth to a Sheng Weiqiao, whether she is pregnant or giving birth at this age, it is very dangerous, Sheng Lanci was afraid that his wife's spirit would be too exhausted, so she went straight to the point with a polite sentence, and said, "It's just for your mother's happy thing, there are some people inside and outside the house, I should have called you over yesterday to make it clear, but you also know that yesterday your mother vomited in Xiaobi Building, came back and drank medicine, and the guests were tired after the party." You can't get out of it this morning for the sake of the flowing water seat, so I can only call you here. ”

Just listening to him use the title "your mother", Sheng Sleeping Crane knew what he was going to say next.

Sure enough, Sheng Lan resigned: "Although we are not related by blood, but since we have the status of father and son, if you still recognize our parents, why don't we treat each other as relatives in the future, how about it?" ”

Feng Shi said softly on the side: "In the future, no matter how many brothers and sisters you have, the family property will be divided equally, and it doesn't matter what kind of concubines you are male or female. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to stabilize you - you know about my mother's sister, our Feng family is rich and Nanfeng is no longer one or two generations, my sister and I are both raised in the rich township, she married to the Xuanyu family, although my brother-in-law spends all day drinking, but it is impossible to treat his wife badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation! But my sister has always been unhappy. So I never think that there is any benefit in having more money, with my and your father's net worth, even if dozens of children share the profits, as long as they are willing to live a good life, it is enough to bless several generations. "If there is really a loser, it is useless to give him gold and silver."

"So we really hope that you don't save the estrangement for my pregnancy - as I said to everyone yesterday, I have not heard from me for more than ten years since I gave birth to a good girl, and I have no hope of being able to get blood and bones again, and you have only been in the door for two years, not to mention that Jie Jieyuan has added glory to the Sheng family, I am also happy again, I don't believe it if it is not your light."

Sheng Sleeping Crane said: "This is because my father and mother were afraid that I was in an embarrassing situation, so they specially relieved me of the siege." ”

Seeing that he was still called "Daddy", Sheng Lanci and his wife were very satisfied, and said with a smile: "A child like you, who doesn't dream of it?" Anyway, we're taking advantage of your biological parents. ”

Sheng Sleeping Crane's long eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the haze and anger that appeared in his eyes when he heard the words "biological parents", and he was already smiling when he looked up: "My mother is pregnant, so I shouldn't work hard." Now that the matter has been said, if my father and mother have no other instructions, I will retire first? ”

"One more thing." Feng Shi called out to him, hesitated for a while, and then said a little embarrassed, "You know, it is impossible for us to tell the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family about your matter, after all, they may not agree, even if they agree now, it is difficult to say whether there will be a storm in the future, and it is safe not to say it after all." Unfortunately, my maiden sister, the misunderstanding of you is not a day or two...... Yesterday there were so many people that she didn't have a chance to say anything to me. But with what I know about her, I'm afraid she'll be embarrassed for you lately. ”

"I'm not asking you to go around her, it's just that the Xuan Yu family is a deep-rooted family in Nanfeng County after all, and our Sheng family's foundation is shallower than theirs. Maybe my parents, brother and sister-in-law will be moved by her, and they will also be mixed in - and you are about to rush to Chang'an to take the test, this eye bone is really not allowed to be lost, it is better not to go out next, so as not to be unguarded! ”

"In this mansion, it is expected that they will not be able to do it."

With a family like the Feng family and the Feng family, the Feng family is also at a loss, after all, if these relatives have bad intentions towards her, she can still cut off contact ruthlessly.

However, whether it is announced by the Feng family or the Feng family, they all sincerely want to pull the bias for the Feng family and daughter.

It's just that she can't wait to be good to Feng's mother and daughter - although Feng doesn't want this kind of good at all - but she really can't do it for Feng to turn against them because of this.

This will only persuade Sheng Sleeping Crane, "When you go to Chang'an to get famous, they should stop - I'm really sorry, I'm a young man in my mother's house. Female, although favored, but my parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, and elder sisters, they always treat me as a child, and they often cross my own opinions when things happen, alas! ”

Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I didn't plan to go out recently." If you want to go out, it is estimated that you will leave for Chang'an! ”

Sheng Lanci and his wife were relieved at this time, and told him not to patronize and take care of his health, and asked him not to go to the perfunctory banquet tomorrow: "Today is the first day, you are the elder brother of this child, if you don't come forward, I'm afraid someone will talk about you being angry." In the next few days, you don't have to go there to waste time, just your father and your third uncle will take the spring platform - you take the book to the spring platform, I will tell the outside world that I am concerned about your schoolwork, and I will personally supervise you to study, so you can't appear at the table. ”

"Of course, don't worry, I've asked someone to clean up the wing room in the courtyard next door to make a temporary study for you, you just have to read and practice calligraphy there, I told myself not to disturb anyone!"

Sheng Lanci added: "Although your article is enough to cope with the exam, but once you learn, it is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you don't have the title of the gold list for a day, you can't relax in the end; Second, there are people outside the world, in case there are a few more talents in Mingke, the competition will be fierce! ”

"The people are very satisfied because of a jinshi, so as long as they are on the gold list, they are all happy!"

"But what you plan is not small, and this ranking is very important."

"As long as the head of the Jinshi does not stand on the wrong team and make big mistakes, not only is it easier to be promoted than the second and third grades, although this dynasty has not said it explicitly, but it is not a good look, but it is a tacit understanding that everyone knows!"

"Hanlin takes the scholar, the first class must enter, the top few in the second class are generally no problem, the back ones are hanging, and the top three are basically hopeless!"

"With your article, with your age, with your ambition, it's a pity not to get into the top armor!"

"In this way, your opponent is not an ordinary scholar, but the top talent in the world!"

"Not only do those people have the same talent as you, but the gentleman standing behind them may not be worse than me!"

"The most important thing is that they don't have to be complacent and disregard their hard work!"

Sheng Sleeping Crane has been very dull since he entered the door, after all, all this has been expected by him.

After hearing these words, Fang was slightly moved, and said solemnly: "I also have the ambition of the champion!" ”

Sheng Lanci and his wife smiled: "We also want to be the father and mother of the champion...... But don't put too much pressure on yourself because of this, although the road is easier to walk, but not all the top armor can be smooth sailing, in short, you just do your best! ”

They were honest with Sheng Sleeping Crane, and when they dissipated the mustard, Xu Baomo, who was meditating hard for the sake of his future life, finally thought of a way to save himself - Xu Shizi, who was in tears, couldn't sleep all night, for fear that he would forget this hard-won inspiration if he didn't carelessly, and there was really no life at that time!

Early the next morning, he hurriedly dressed, didn't eat breakfast, and ran to Zhu Huan Xiaozhu!
