Chapter 172: The Most Enjoyable Thing
Chapter 172 is the most enjoyable
Qiu Chen looked at Qin Zheng who was sitting sideways, wearing a seemingly simple pine green robe, without the exquisite embroidery when they first met, the single dark color was not monotonous and dull, but because of his person, he showed a kind of elegant and calm temperament.
It seems that this person always likes to wear dark and cold colors, such as the crab shell blue when I first met him, the indigo blue when I came to Liu Jiaao as a guest later, the tooth black in the barracks, and today's pine green, the heavy dark green almost became black, lined with a slightly pale face due to illness, and it showed more and more a touch of good porcelain.
On just one side, the slender neck is clearly contoured, the convex Adam's apple curve is the perfect facial contour, the straight eyebrows, the straight nose bridge, the thin cheeks without a trace of fat but not dry, and the slightly tightened lip corners...... Everywhere shows the beauty of this person.
Alas, such an outstanding person, even if he does not have such an identity, is the best candidate for the dream lover of many women!
It's a pity that the original icing on the cake and the fame of meritorious deeds have become a burden to him now...... Qiu Chen suddenly understood a sentence - tired of fame!
understands, but she also knows that not to mention a man with a big heart, even a woman like her, there is no way to completely put aside things such as fame, money, and so on. She devoted herself to the society of this era, as a woman, there is no way to succeed in starting a business, but she also wants to make her life better with her own efforts, and give her children a better life and education. And to achieve all this, there is no doubt that not only strong assets are required, but also have a certain social status. Otherwise, the huge amount of family wealth will not only not bring her and her family a happy and stable life, but may become a rope to chase her life!
Qin Zheng had already turned his gaze back from the bare narcissus's head, looking at the woman with a confused expression, his eyes were wide, and his voice couldn't help but be much gentler: "The matter of the Lin family, you must not know the reason for it......
Qiu Chen woke up from the fugue suddenly, lowered his eyes a little weakly, and was silent for a moment, hiding his voyeuristic heart before nodding.
I heard Qin Zheng continue: "Although the Lin family said that it had the merit of founding the country from the dragon, but after that, the qualifications of the children were mediocre, and after three generations, the ancestral title has been exhausted, and the Lin family has a son Lin Ruowang, who is talented and intelligent, and is very good at reading, and he was admitted at the age of sixteen, and at the age of nineteen, he got two Jinshi backgrounds, plus the Yu Yin before the Lin family, his career was smooth, and he was less than forty years old, and he was promoted to the left waiter of the Sanpin Rite Department...... It's just that more than 100 years after the founding of the country, the power of the DPRK and China has changed, and all parties have wrestled, so naturally factions have emerged, and the Lin family has declined, and if Lin Ruowang wants to go further, he no longer relies only on himself, so he chose the Wei Taifu family at that time......"
Speaking of this, Qin Zheng paused slightly, "Now that she is twenty-six years old, the queen at that time was the eldest daughter of Mrs. Wei...... Empress Wei had the eldest son and the third son of the emperor, and died after giving birth to the third son, and a year later, Concubine Xu Shu was now the queen, and Concubine Xu had the fourth son. Concubine Xu Shu's brother is Xu Qiong, the Marquis of Dingnan, who is now stationed in southern Xinjiang. ”
Qiu Chen calmed down from a moment of weakness in his heart, and from Qin Zheng's simple but clear description, he quickly understood it.
The Lin family is in decline, and if they want to revitalize the family, they pin all their hopes on Lin Ruowang, Lin Xu's father. And in order to get in, Lin Ruowang chose the faction of Wei Taifu, the father of the late Empress Wei. The antagonism of the Wei family is naturally the maiden family of Empress Xu...... I'm afraid that it is not only a struggle between two generations of relatives, but I am afraid that the most fundamental is the dispute between the princes......
Qiu Chen closed his eyes, his heart full of weakness and his mouth full of bitterness.
Even she, who knows a little bit about history, knows that all kinds of battles involving the royal succession are more tragic than the real battlefield of life and death, and it can be said that almost every emperor's road to the throne is paved by countless blood and bones. If you want to get that dragon skill, you also have to think about whether you have the life to live to the extreme, because nine times out of ten, the people who participate in it will become a stepping stone under the most expensive chair in the world.
I don't know if the Lin family was too eager to revive the family style, so they desperately made a desperate bet and pressed all their net worth on Lin Ruowang, and Lin Ruowang pressed on the Wei family, or the two princes from Empress Wei......
It's a pity that Queen Wei, who the Wei family relies on the most, has passed away, how can the two young princes be able to compete with the Xu family in the middle palace...... Even if the two princes from the Wei family and Empress Wei are unhindered, the Lin family may become a victim of the struggle between the two parties!
Qin Zheng's next words also proved her guess: "...... Ten years ago, the Lin family was convicted, and since then, almost one or two families have collapsed every year, but until now, there is still no crown prince...... In August, Xu Qiong quelled the rebellion in Miaojiang, and added the title of Dingnanhou, Enjia Shuangfeng, and the second son of Dingnanhou, Xu Yiyu, and the fourth general Fengen...... Immediately at the beginning of September, because Wei Taishi taught the prince to be meritorious, the male ...... of Sun Sanpin, the eldest son of Wei Taishi, was "
Qiu Chen lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and his mind flew around, and he had already figured out the situation of the two main factions in the court today.
The former queen's mother's family, which is also the Wei family of the third prince of the eldest prince, led by Wei Taifu, controls almost half of the civil officials in the court; Empress Xu's mother's family, the Xu family of the four princes, is mainly a military general led by Empress Xu's eldest brother Xu Qiongxiong, who is responsible for garrisoning southern Xinjiang.
She suddenly not only understood the fall of the Lin family, but also somewhat understood Qin Zheng's excuse to heal her injuries and not return to Beijing.
Listening to Qin Zheng's words, he or the Qin family must not be subordinate to either Wei and Xu, so the merits he made will not only be jealous of the superiors, but will also cause the Wei and Xu families to win over and suppress them. Co-optation is certain, but suppression must also be indispensable...... Under these forces, Qin Zheng was injured, healed, temporarily resigned from his post due to illness, and left Beijing due to injury and refused to go back......
Thinking like this, Qiu Chen couldn't help but glance up at Qin Zheng, who happened to be facing Qin Zheng's gaze. The four eyes met, and both of them couldn't help but be stunned.
Qin Zheng's always cold and unwavering gaze actually carried a trace of tenderness, it was the kind of tenderness that looked at the pity and concern that he cherished and loved the most, Qiu Chen was surprised, and the first thought that came to his heart was that it turned out that ice cubes could also turn into spring water. And Qin Zheng was also slightly surprised, what did he see in the eyes of the woman opposite...... There was warmth and softness in her eyes...... Distressed?
The gaze was like water, and like the warm sun of March spring, which made him inexplicably recall his mother's gaze when he was young!
The two looked at each other, and for a moment, they both dodged a little embarrassed.
In the air, faintly embarrassed floating, the two of them picked up the tea at the same time, drank it in their mouths, the tea that had been cooled aggravated the bitterness, but there was a kind of sweetness in the aftertaste that hot tea did not have!
After being silent for a moment, Qiu Chen had calmed down from the momentary unease, raised his head and was about to say something, when he heard Qin Zhengqingling's voice coming from the opposite side: "There are a total of eighteen heroes who originally founded the country from the dragon, and after more than a hundred years, there are only six left. The Wei family of Xinguo Gong, the Xu family of Han Gong, the Xiao family of Chen Guogong, the Li family of Zheng Guogong, the Chang family of Wei Guogong, and the Qin family of Liang Guogong. It's just that the succession system of this dynasty implements a decreasing system, and to this day, only the Wei family retains the title of duke; The Xu family was originally reduced to a viscount, and after Concubine Xu Shu was crowned, she was added to the uncle, and now she is a marquis because of Xu Qiong's military exploits; Others, or uncles, sons or men, although they are still continuing, they are no longer the prosperity of the past. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Zheng paused slightly, took the hot tea handed over by Qiu Chen, took a sip slowly, and continued: "Since the founding of the country, the Qin family has initially been engaged in military merits, and the title has not been reduced. My mother is the only daughter of the former Yue Guo Gongji Shan, and my maternal grandfather was stationed in the north all the year round, and my maternal grandmother stayed in Beijing according to the system...... In this case, they will accept a few concubines to inherit the incense, but my grandfather and my grandmother have a deep relationship, although my grandmother only got one of my mother, my grandfather refused to take a concubine. The lineage of Yue Guogong was broken...... Two years after his mother's death, his father continued to marry the daughter of the Li family, the Duke of Yuanzheng...... I have two cousins, one four years younger than me and one ...... Seven years younger......"
Maybe it's because Qin Zheng rarely speaks at length like this, his narration is a little incoherent, even a little confusing, and when he talks about the two cousins, his voice gradually lowers, and he can't even choke up.
Didn't you talk about the Lin family? Isn't it because of the introduction of the Lin family's past and the change of power in the imperial court? How can you talk about the secret history of the Qin family?
Qiu Chen was a little flustered when she heard this, she didn't know what Qin Zheng said to herself, shouldn't these family secrets be kept silent? What's more, to someone like her who is not familiar at all? …… Or is it precisely because of the difference in their identities that she knows what he has said, and it will not have any adverse effect on him and his family?
No matter how surprised and surprised he was in his heart, how he felt incredible, Qin Zheng's strange appearance at this time still made Qiu Chen put aside those for the time being, poured a cup of hot tea for Qin Zheng again, and handed it over.
Qin Zheng took the tea and nodded slightly towards Qiu Chen to show his gratitude.
Qiu Chen was not good at comforting people, and the corners of his mouth twitched for a while before he spoke: "It's all over...... Let Ciquan know that your current merits must also be extremely gratifying......"
Qin Zheng raised his eyes to look at Qiu Chen, his eyes seemed to be a little red, looking at Qiu Chen's eyes with gratitude, but there was a faint hint of joy...... Qiu Chen shook his head slightly, feeling that he must have been dazzled, and looked at it again, only to find that Qin Zheng had lowered his eyes and lowered his head to drink tea.
Qiu Chen shook off the doubt, took a sip of his teacup, and was thinking about how to leave...... She was really flustered when she heard these secrets of the Qin family, and the secrets of others were not so easy to know. Sometimes there is too much knowledge of the Tao, not to mention that there is no benefit at all, and it may even lead to unnecessary danger!
Without waiting for Qiu Chen to think of a way to get out, Qin Zheng finished drinking tea and opened his mouth again: "I still have two younger brothers, and five younger sisters, all of whom are separated from me...... Ever since my stepmother came to the door, I thought about using my own ability to become a marquis, and I didn't care about fighting with anyone...... Fortunately, my grandfather's work is still there, and it has helped me a lot......"
As soon as Qin Zheng spoke, Qiu Chen simply gave up his plan to find an excuse to leave. The situation is stronger than people, and people don't let her leave, so let her be the big willow tree that listens, and she can't help it. What's more, there seems to be nothing in the back, everything that should be said and what should not be said in front has been said, and everything that should not have been listened to has been listened to by her......
Relaxing his mood of self-preservation, Qiu Chen secretly sighed.
This seems to be very cold, very brave, almost a hundred battles to win, so that the northern Rongyi tribes are famous and fearful, the youngest Marquis of Jingbei since the founding of the Ming Dynasty...... When I was a child, I was just a poor child who lost his mother and fell into the hands of his stepmother! Although it is impossible for the head of a big family to make such a vicious act as a stepmother, there is no difference in essence. She couldn't remember where she had seen that ancient women treated sons who were not born to them without seeing blood.
One is drowning, which is to rely on you, indulge you, and get used to you, and make a good child a good child who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and can't do anything, this child has no future at all, and naturally has no ability to compete with her biological son, and she has a good reputation. Speaking of which, it's just that the kid himself can't make it!
The other is cold violence. Regardless of ignoring it, the housewife has such an attitude, the family is used to stepping on the servants who are low and high, plus those who want to sell good to the housewife to show their loyalty, the child's living environment can be imagined, and the one who can survive is really smart and clever. Ordinary children, in the midst of countless blank eyes, lost their vitality.
Qin Zheng said that the eight people of Qin Yi and Qin Li, and even Hong Zhanpeng were all arranged for him when the old man of Yue Guo Gongji was alive, of course, this is only on the surface, in secret, Qiu Chen knows that there will definitely be a way, and there are far more than a few people, however, those things are really secrets in secret, Qin Zheng doesn't say it, and she will definitely not ask.
After talking for a quarter of an hour, Qin Zheng gave a general introduction to his life experience, took another sip of tea, raised his eyes to look at Qiu Chen, and smiled with a hint of self-deprecation: "I have the savings of the Yue Guogong family for several generations, and I want to achieve something, but this is still the case, not to mention the Lin family...... If you want to overturn the case under the Wei and Xu families, how easy is it! Merely...... In the past few years, as long as there are no incidents, the Wei and Xu families have no time to take care of themselves, and naturally they will not pay attention to the old case ten years ago. ”
Hearing that Qin Zheng had gone around in such a big circle, and finally returned to the Lin family, Qiu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. It can be said that although she and Qin Zheng have different perspectives and different ways of thinking, there is almost no difference in the planning and judgment of the Lin family in this matter. She also plans to let Lin Xu study with peace of mind, and it will take at least ten or eight years to read all the way, and at that time, even the few remaining members of the Lin family will not be paid attention to, whether there was a child who was smuggled out of Beijing at the beginning, who would care!
With Qin Zheng's support, Qiu Chen relaxed slightly. She put down the teacup in her hand and was about to get up to say goodbye, when she heard Qin Zheng ask, "Have you thought about how to deal with the Huyan matter?" ”
Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "That one was just rescued by the Lin family...... If he repays his kindness and gives money and gifts, Mrs. Lin will naturally decide whether to accept it or not. As for my side, it has nothing to do with the Lin family, so if I talk about it, it will naturally be fine. ”
The woman's smile was so bright that it almost shook Qin Zheng's eyes.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his gaze back, lowered his eyes, and suddenly asked, "I heard that your parents are alive?" Who else is there in the family besides the two brothers? ”
Qiu Chen was slightly surprised, dumbfounded, how could she have the illusion of exchanging secrets between her girlfriends?
Qin Zheng was calm at this moment, neither cold as ice, nor the soft spring water of the moment just now, but just calmly responded to Qiu Chen's gaze, expressing his persistence, without the slightest consciousness of digging up other people's gossip.
Qiu Chen blinked, swallowed his saliva secretly, and retracted his gaze in rout--he looked like this, and he made such an innocent appearance to her...... It's just too lethal!
He spoke: "Yes, although my parents are old, have worked hard for many years, and have some old problems, but in general, their bodies and bones are strong. I only have two brothers, in addition to the four Junwen brothers, and there is a three-year-old nephew at home, who I didn't bring over because he was too young...... My brother and nephews are all here, and the family relies on the hard work of the two sisters-in-law......"
As he spoke, Qiu Chen let go.
The Yang family is the most ordinary Zhuang family, and the family is loyal and simple, and there is no one who cannot be humane to outsiders.
“…… The two elder brothers were unable to study because of their poor families when they were young, and they both drove big cars at the age of fifteen or sixteen to earn money to support their families...... The eldest brother is honest and simple, not so much scheming, compared to the business management workshop, he prefers to farm the land, raise fish and lotus root, these farm work, so, a few days ago, I bought the Nanmarg Lake near the Yang family shop and the surrounding large swamp reeds, ready for the New Year, let the eldest brother take people over there to raise lotus roots, ducks, fish and sheep...... It is close to Yang's shop, and it is very cheap. After waiting for a year, I got up the house and built the road, so I could take my sister-in-law over and manage it together...... The second brother will help me take care of the goods in and out......"
“…… The two eldest nephews are a little delayed, I provide them with education, they are really successful, although they are not afraid of being late, if they can't go to the scientific examination, they can read and write for two years, and then come back to help me, or go back to help their parents, it is easy to ......"
Qiu Chen's words were also very messy, and what he said was all about the family's plans and expectations...... But the Yang family's Lin family is simple after all, and it will be finished in half an hour.
Qin Zheng had been listening quietly, and when he heard Qiu Chen stop talking, he suddenly asked, "What you said is all about planning for your family, what about yourself?" ”
Qiu Chen was stunned, raised his eyes to look at Qin Zheng, somehow, the other party's sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, torturing the most heartfelt things in her heart!
She stared at him in a daze, as if she was a little distracted, but at the moment when she was almost about to speak, she suddenly smiled, and that smile was like a brilliant spring flower, full of enthusiasm and brightness, dazzling Qin Zheng's eyes.
"Hehe, myself? Of course, I myself am trying to earn money, earn a lot of money, and make a good life for the big guys! ”
Such a vibrant, bright and dazzling appearance made Qin Zheng a little excited, but he still chased after him: "What do you think is a good day?" Nowadays, even if it is a daily income, food and clothing are safe, and you can afford to buy land and build a house...... Isn't that enough? ”
"Of course not enough!" Qiu Chen let go a little, but he was not afraid of anything, "Now, it's just that my family has no food and clothing, and I have only built a house...... I want the whole village to be free from hunger and cold, so that the whole village can live in spacious houses, wear neat clothes, provide for the elderly, and let all the children be able to study and improve......"
Qin Zheng came back to his senses from his stunned stupor, and interjected leisurely: "Even those who are calculating you? ”
Qiu Chen choked in his throat and laughed for a moment: "I'll just say that, good people naturally live a good life, those ...... I'm not a saint either, so I can really manage so much...... Hehe, I'm just idle, I have to find something to do for myself, right? If you are content now, you will not have to worry about food and clothing...... But I can't do nothing, just eat and wait for death, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Zheng was blocked. He froze, and then asked cautiously, "How can you say that...... Eating and waiting for death, you still have so many family catechesis, human relations, junior family members, servants, etc., all kinds of matters...... This director is also very tired, right? ”
Qiu Chen shook his head very dryly, and said unceremoniously: "I'm not good at these things, and I don't want to do them. Every day, the parents are short, and they are not sick but also aggrieved! ”
Qin Zheng's face turned a little pale, and he still asked with some reluctance: "Then if you earn more money in the future, the mansion will naturally get bigger and bigger, and there will naturally be more and more servants in the house, don't you care about these things?" So what do you do best? What is the most enjoyable thing to do without being aggrieved? ”
Qiu Chen didn't answer this series of questions immediately, she frowned slightly and thought for a while before she said with a smile: "There are many things at home, there are housekeepers, there are mothers-in-law, pick some capable and usable people, and give them all kinds of trivial things to do, and I will be responsible for seeing the results when the time comes!" The most enjoyable thing, when I find the available and capable people, all kinds of miscellaneous things are entrusted to the Lang, the arrangements are appropriate, I will take the children out of the Lang to walk, see the magnificent mountains and rivers, the beautiful rivers, see the customs and customs of various places, and taste the food of various places, listen to interesting stories from all over the world...... Oh, that's the joy of life! …… Oh, by the way, this also has a origin, not that reading thousands of books is better than traveling thousands of miles, taking the children down a trip, seeing and hearing with your own eyes, how much better than reading a dead book...... Hehe, it's time to take the child on a study tour. That's right, it's a study tour! ”
Listening to what Qiu Chen said, his face was full of yearning, Qin Zheng's face became colder and colder, more and more ugly, and there was an indescribable killing aura from all over his body. It's just that Qiu Chen's imagination was full of joy, and he didn't notice the change in the expression of the person on the other side at all, and after talking to himself, he got up and said hello to Qin Zheng: "I am really grateful to have disturbed General Qin for a long time, and I have been guided by General Qin." General Qin's injuries are just recovering from his injuries, so I shouldn't bother too much, and I will leave! ”
said a slight blessing, regardless of whether Qin Zheng responded or not, he turned around and walked out of the front yard main room.
If it weren't for Qin Zheng's question today, she would have really thought about what the future would be, and after he asked, she thought that she still had such beautiful things to do.
While walking to the backyard, Qiu Chen was thinking in her heart that after the New Year, when her new workshop in Anyang Mansion was built and on the right track, at that time, the auction of the soap formula should also be completed, and at that time, she could get a lot of money again. At that time, as she said today, she will take the children and go out to play a big circle leisurely.
Back in the backyard, the smile on Qiu Chen's face gradually dissipated.
After sending away the jade phoenix Qingxing who came up, Qiu Chen walked into the inner room alone, dragged a large pillow from the kang, pounced on it, and buried his face deeply.
Qin Zheng asked her if she loved to be in charge...... Perhaps, he also thinks in his heart that a woman should be content in the inner house, in charge of the family, take care of the affairs of the inner courtyard, and start from the interests of the family's husband and children, communicate with people, and make friends with wives and grandmothers with various temperaments...... With those women in the house, talk about the common family and the short family in the west, and talk about the private affairs of whom's family...... Then talk to each other, play a sharp edge, exchange words, no longer think twice, every word and deed, smile and cheek, must be decent, dare not make a mistake on the line......
In those days, it's better to kill her with a knife, and be happier!
Originally, she still wanted to go with the flow, maybe she could meet a man who was in love, complete the things she hadn't done in her previous life, marry herself out, and taste the taste of reunion.
After a conversation with Qin Zheng today, she suddenly realized that her character is simply an outlier in this world and in this era.
She is different from all other people, she can't change others, and she won't be wronged to change herself to cater to others...... Forget it, she didn't marry in her last life, and she lived a very fast and unrestrained life. In this life, she still has a pair of children, so what if she marries or not, it is really better to drive a car and travel the world leisurely as she just said casually.
Children follow if they want to, and let them live their favorite days if they don't. Wherever she goes, she can enjoy the beautiful scenery, taste the food, and experience the customs and folklore of various places...... How much is happy and wanton, how much is good!
During this period, her workshop will also accumulate more and more wealth, and when the wealth is enough, she will build a manor of her own, with mountains and water, orchards, flower fields, bamboo fence huts, and exquisite halls, and when she is tired of wandering, she can no longer walk, so she will return to her own manor, look at the mountains and water every day, chase the sun in winter, and enjoy the shade of trees in summer, or, there will be one or two grandchildren around her knees, she can tell them what she has seen and heard for many years...... Leisure, interest, you can also record what you see and hear, not for beautiful words, but for a leisurely journey all the way! Not to show others, but to record yourself......
After a long time, Qiu Chen raised his head before he almost suffocated himself, and he didn't call anyone, he entered the ear room, washed his face, opened his unkempt hair, re-combed it, and was about to put it on the back of his head again, but he had a whim, and shouted: "Yufeng!" ”
Yufeng came in response: "Madam? ”
Qiu Chen handed the comb in his hand to Yufeng: "I see that you comb your hair well, help me curl my hair!" ”
------Off topic------
Today is the best I can't write such a plot......
