Chapter 316: Gossip
Chen Xuanyu saw Qiaozhen's thoughts, patted Qiaozhen's hand lightly with his hand, and said: "Fool, don't think about it, yes, it is true that as you think, I want to go to the battlefield, I want to contribute to the country, I want to pacify the barbarians, I want to help my father, and I want to end the war as soon as possible." But Qiaozhen, every period of life is faced with a lot of choices, what kind of time to make what kind of choice.
There is nothing without me on the battlefield, but I cannot be missing here, you and our children cannot do without me, and if you don't go to the battlefield, I will have a little regret at most, but without you, I will not be able to live. The battlefield is not all, you are all I have. You are my choice. ”
Chen Xuanyu's eyes turned red when he heard Qiaozhen's words, he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Qiaozhen's eyes, and said softly: "Qiaozhen, you also understand, although I know the art of war and formation, I can be regarded as proficient and can use it, but I am a little indecisive by nature, not ruthless enough, and lack the courage to act resolutely." So settling in this town, staying by your side, and living our own lives is the most suitable choice for me. ”
Listening to Chen Xuanyu's words, Qiao Zhen hugged Chen Xuanyu's neck, buried his head in his chest, closed his eyes, and a line of tears slipped down his eyes, Chen Xuanyu He saw very thoroughly, others are very kind, very upright, and treat people very well, but just like he said, these advantages make him not ruthless enough, so he is not suitable for the court, not suitable for political planning, it is better to live a peaceful life here.
"Tomorrow you will send another letter to your father and ask how it is. I can't rest assured in my heart, I'm always worried, and there is also the capital, how about the capital? Is she moving? Qiaozhen thought of the capital again, and he usually didn't feel it, but he felt panicked when something happened.
When Chen Xuanyu heard the capital, the cold light in his eyes flashed, and then he returned to normal, but his voice was slightly excited. He said: "I asked in the capital, and it was arranged when my father left, and the woman couldn't leave the mansion and was confined to the mansion. Anyone who is sick externally is not seen. I heard that she had made trouble, but for the sake of her son's future, she had to compromise and take care of the Buddha in the house.
I also heard that she has aged a lot, and her body is indeed not very good. It's much worse than before, but this is her retribution, and she can't blame anyone. As for the third ......"
Chen Xuanyu paused when he said this, with a hint of entanglement between his eyebrows, he didn't like Chen Xuanting. It's even very annoying, but after all, they are related by blood, the same father, even if they are brothers, and he has some strange feelings in his heart.
"The third child, he is not restricted. Fooling around outside every day, I heard that he made a few friends with everyone's children, and his status was precious, at first he was very proud, and felt that he had an unlimited future, and then he fell out with one of them, that person was the queen's maiden nephew. Serious young master, he united a lot of people to deal with the third child, and the third child became honest, and he didn't even go out of the mansion easily, and he was not as arrogant as before. ”
"Yes, who made him so arrogant. Treat people as no one. Qiao Zhen's face was full of anger when she mentioned Chen Xuanting, at that time her family almost died at the hands of the other party, although she married into the Chen family, but she still disliked the two in the capital, and it was good to not see it in this life.
Chen Xuanyu knew Qiao Zhen's anger towards those two. stroked Qiao Zhen's back, comforted Qiao Zhen, and said: "The third child is like this now, I estimate that Yu Gongzi's participation is indispensable here, because I heard that the young master and Yu Gongzi have a good personal relationship, and Yu Gongzi is angry for you, which can be regarded as a favor for us." ”
Qiao Zhen glanced up at Chen Xuanyu, his expression was quite normal, with a faint smile in his eyes, knowing that he was not jealous and angry, he calmed down. Between husband and wife, one of the most taboo parties thinks too much, and it is rare for Chen Xuanyu to trust her like this.
"That's okay, the third young master's temperament is better not to come out, his mind is too vicious, he will definitely deal with you if he gets ahead, and it will make us unhappy, then we will have a lot more right and wrong. You have to suppress him. It's best to keep him out of the way and let him be depressed. I was relieved to have a jade boy watching me in the capital. ”
Qiao Zhen said this, secretly sighed, sat up straight, and said to Chen Xuanyu seriously: "I heard that Yu Gongzi is mixing well now, he and another child of the Yu family are regarded as key training objects, the two have been competing, one of them will definitely be the head of the Yu family in the future, but I estimate that Yu Gongzi has a bigger chance of winning, he has the support of the old lady, and the lady in the palace is on the same level as the old lady, they all chose Yu Gongzi, and Yu Gongzi himself is also competing, and the chance of winning is still relatively large."
Qiao Zhen said that she took a breath here, seeing that Chen Xuanyu listened carefully, she did not interrupt herself, and she continued: "As for the other one, the old lady told me privately that although that one is also her grandson, that grandson is not a descendant, but was born in the outer room, and later recorded in the name of his mother-in-law and entered the family tree. However, this person is very ruthless, for the sake of his personal future, he actually forced his biological aunt to death, and also showed merit in front of his mother-in-law, saying that the disobedient concubine was killed early and overborn.
The maid beside him was pregnant with his flesh and blood, and he was jealous, and he could sell the maid mercilessly, without any affection. It makes people feel cold when they hear it, but his brain is really very useful, he reacts quickly, does things cleanly and neatly, does not drag mud and water, can be soft and hard, and is considered a character.
The current head of the Yu family is very satisfied with him, thinking that he is a person who can achieve great things, but on the contrary, he feels that the jade prince is a little too affectionate and not ruthless enough. But the old lady felt that the other one was too ruthless and didn't miss the slightest family affection, if such a person took power in the future, maybe he would bring disaster to the Yu family. Because both sides are optimistic and have shortcomings, the two are now competing in private, and they are also cultivating their own forces. I hope that in the future, I can defeat the other party in one fell swoop and sit on the position of the head of the family. Qiaozhen told Chen Xuanyu what the old lady told her.
After hearing this, Chen Xuanyu pondered, the big family is indeed like this, a lot of time is less humane, only cares about identity and ability, there is only one position, but there are many people to fight for, because of the competition, there are a lot of cannibalism, and there is time when even the brothers can't be trusted, which can be regarded as a kind of sadness.
"What you said is right, although Brother Yu is a little cautious, and he will calculate others when he has time, but he is a sympathetic, a person like him is worth befriending, and he is the head of the family, although it will not make the Yu family higher, but he can keep the Yu family stable. It's not necessarily necessary to change someone else, if it's ambitious, maybe the Yu family will be wiped out in the future. Chen Xuanyu saw these very thoroughly.
Qiaozhen doesn't know this, the mother in the palace of the Jade family is born with a prince, if there is an ambitious person who controls the Jade family, there is no idea of whether it is a matter of separation, being the prince's foreign family, and being the prince's foreign family, it is completely different, and the identity is also far away. But the dragon chair is not so easy to do, and if it is not good, it is a matter of the whole family's head, so the person who is the head of the house, in addition to being bold and careful, has brains, must also be calm, and cannot be dizzy in front of the wealth that breaks the sky. And in this regard, Yu Chengfeng is more suitable for the position of the head of the family than the other.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. I believe that the Yu family is measured, and it is not our turn to worry. It's all in vain that we worry about it. Qiao Zhen hurriedly stopped the topic, and if she continued to talk about it, it would be a matter of the court, and these were not what she was good at.
Chen Xuanyu nodded and smiled at Qiao Zhen, knowing what Qiao Zhen meant. He didn't go any further.
"It's almost the New Year, it's time to prepare New Year's goods, and New Year's gifts have to be given. This is all a thing, and before I gave birth, I asked my aunt to buy a lot of cloth and cotton and skins. Let her find someone to make cotton clothes and shoes, which I can't take care of when I'm busy all my life, although I told my aunt to go back and see it twice in the confinement, but I didn't always ask about the progress, and I don't know if it's done. ”
Qiaozhen's words made Chen Xuanyu stunned, and he said: "I do know that you let my aunt buy a lot of things, and I have heard you say such a thing during the confinement, and you also said that it seems that you have discussed it with the old lady, but what are you doing with so many cotton clothes." Is it for the poor people in the town? Chen Xuanyu didn't ask at the time, he felt that as long as Qiaozhen was happy, she could do whatever she wanted, anyway, it was a good thing, and she was comfortable.
"Yes, I discussed it with the old lady, and the old lady gave a silver ticket of three thousand taels, and I also took a lot of it, and asked my aunt to buy cotton cloth to make cotton clothes. Regardless of the needlework, it is good to be warm. I was ready to finish the year ago and then follow the grain and grass cart to the front line, I heard that the climate in Nanzhao is not good, there are many poisonous insects, rats and ants, the climate is humid, if the winter is not warm enough, people's joints will not be able to stand it, there is no time to fight, even the New Year will not be a holiday, the soldiers can not come back, and I don't know if the cotton clothes prepared by the imperial court can survive the winter, I just got up and made cotton clothes and shoes, hoping to help. ”
Qiaozhen thought about this from the cold weather, and mentioned it when she met the old lady, and the old lady was very supportive, and directly gave her a silver ticket of three thousand taels. It's also a little bit of a treat.
Qiaozhen clay kiln did not earn so much, but Chen Mansion had silver, she added two thousand taels, enough five thousand taels, let Sun Juhua start to buy cloth and cotton, find a leather worker to collect skin, make cotton boots, hope to be transported to the front line before the year, so that the soldiers can wear it, in fact, she only has such an idea, is that she has heard unintentionally before, in the winter time, the cotton clothes transported by the imperial court are very thin, and some of them cut corners, the soldiers wear such clothes, not to mention the war, the cold is shivering, and even the basic cold can not withstand what kind of war, So this time Qiaozhen prepared it, but when she gave birth to a child, she didn't supervise it tightly, and asked Sun Juhua to go back and see. This is also the reason why after Chen Xuanyu helped, she asked Sun Juhua to go back to Zhuangzi to help her.
