Zhongli Ruoyu's four sisters left the Huaxi Courtyard.

It's dusk.

In the main courtyard of the huge courtyard, only Zhongli Ruoshui and Li Chen'an were left, and Zhongli Ruoshui's personal maid Lin Xue'er also went to other places very sensibly.

Although she still felt that this aunt was not as good as the young master Cheng Zhe in the Cheng Guo Mansion, nor as good as the Qi Zhixue young master in the Qi Guo Mansion, she obviously understood the young lady's intentions, and as a subordinate, she kept her duty.

Li Chen'an and Zhong Li Ruoshui wandered by the lotus pond in the twilight, quiet and serene, relaxed and freehand, just like when they were in the Peach Blossom Villa in Guangling City, the two of them swam together in the peach forest.

Zhongli Ruoshui roughly told Li Chenan about the current situation of Zhongli Mansion, and Li Chenan knew that this family was so huge.

Of course, he was even more amazed at how powerful the old man Zhong Li was, and at the same time, he also admired Mrs. Fan very much.

gave birth to eight children, none of them died young, all of them grew up healthy and healthy, all of them were able to write and martial arts, and now they are all in charge of their own - including Zhongli Ruoshui's three aunts!

What makes Li Chenan even more admirable is that under Fan Taohua's education, all the women in Zhongli Mansion have a completely different personality from other women.

Of course, those daughters-in-law who marry home don't count.

However, no matter which room the daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law is, no one dares to say a word in front of Mrs. Fan!

This is the momentum that the old lady has cultivated for a long time!

"Actually...... Grandma didn't want that, but whether it was my mother or other aunts, they seemed to be born afraid of grandma. ”

"Grandma is a very kind person, and she has never beaten and scolded us grandchildren, and even spoiled us so much that under the protection of her old man, we are somewhat pampered and proud in front of our parents. ”

Li Chen'an grinned, "This is actually a good thing, grandma has freed you from the constraints of those old rules, so that you can choose your favorite husband by yourself, instead of being bound by the words of the matchmaker of your parents." ”

While the two were strolling, Li Chenan said again: "This is to let you pursue happiness by yourself, just as her old man once did, this is the luck of you and me." ”

Li Chenan admired the old man he had never met before.

In his opinion, this is the simplest opening of people's wisdom.

In that era, this kind of thinking was not worth mentioning, but in such a dynasty, this kind of thinking was very valuable.

It's just that she dispels the thoughts of a small group of people in Zhongli Mansion, looking at the entire Ning Kingdom...... Tens of millions of people in Ningguo are still ignorant, and they are still locked up by the feudal shackles.

They endured humiliation and burdens to carry this dying Ning country forward, and they worked hard to maintain this twilight country for a long time.

Except for a small number of mountain bandits who really can't survive, the vast majority of the people of Ningguo ...... They are like sheep in the mountains and fields!

"What are you thinking?"

After walking for a long time without speaking, the expression on Li Chen'an's face became more and more solemn, which made Zhongli Ruoshui ask uneasily.

Li Chenan was awakened by this sentence, and he realized that he was thinking a little too much and thinking a little far.

"It's nothing, I just think it...... This villa is very beautiful, and the Peach Blossom Villa in Guangling City is also beautiful, both of which can make me feel at ease and let me linger. It's just our Ning country,"

He looked up at the sky, it was already dark, and the lanterns on the lotus pond path were already lit up.

"Maybe I'm thinking a little too much, from the news I got these days, I'm afraid our Ning country is not very stable. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui stood still and looked up at Li Chen'an, she didn't deny it, but there was a star-like light in her eyes.

"I love that you think that, because you're not wrong. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui's gaze fell into the dark lotus pond, and those originally brilliant lotus flowers were of course no longer visible.

Grandma had already felt this, and she even said...... Within three years, Ningguo will be in chaos!"

"I thought that this chaos was from the invasion of the Mobei wilderness, but my grandmother later said that it was not like that, and she said that the chaos came from Kyoto. ”

"You don't know His Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a capable person, but the emperor doesn't like him, which leads to him staying in the East Palace for ten years...... Now the emperor is obsessed with seeking immortality, but he does not pass on the throne to him. ”

Li Chenan was stunned, "Since the emperor has set up a crown prince, why don't you like him?"

"It's a long story, and you'll see later. I can only tell you that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very fat, and the Emperor ...... I don't like fat people, the emperor prefers the second prince!"

"The prince studied under Hua Lao, with a gentle temperament and profound knowledge, but he was not easy to move, so he gradually became fat. ”

"The second prince studied under Wen Zaidao, a famous martial artist in Ningguo, and learned a good martial arts, not to mention, he was also good at the art of war and strategy, which met the emperor's appetite, but the strange thing is that under the impetus of Ji Tai, the emperor did not really abolish the prince. ”

"Some people say that there is a reason for Concubine Li...... Concubine Li is the daughter of Yan Guogong, and her son is the third prince Ning Zhiyuan. ”

"The emperor has these three sons, and on the surface, it seems that the crown prince and the second prince are fighting for the throne, but some people say that it is Concubine Li who is really working hard in the dark...... I'm afraid she wants to reap the benefits...... Grandma said that this is unlikely, because Concubine Li's personality is indifferent, who knows if it is true or false?"

"But this has really become the biggest bane of Ning Guo!"

"In fact, Ning Guo is not afraid of foreign enemies, because grandma said that Ning people have a strange trait 🤲 - they can live like cattle and horses, but if the country is invaded by foreign enemies, it is really time for life and death, they can burst out with extremely strong cohesion and combat effectiveness!"

"Even if they are so hungry that their chests and backs are close to their backs, they can still carry knives and guns and fight the enemy to the death!"

"After the expulsion of foreign enemies, they will cheer for victory, and then continue to go hungry to farm, to feed the corrupt officials in the court...... It's ironic, but it's true. ”

"A hundred years ago, Prime Minister Shang was able to turn the tide precisely because he saw through this characteristic of the Ning people and made the greatest use of it. ”

"In fact, in the entire history of Ningguo for more than 300 years, the people of Ningguo have resisted many disasters in this country...... For example, wars, such as famines, but their lives have not changed much in the past 300 years. ”

"Grandma didn't appreciate this trait of the Ning people, but the people in the court praised it...... They talk about the greatness of the Ning people, and even say that such a noble character comes from the difficult history of the Ning country, and is forged by history, and they should be proud of it because they were born as Ning people......"

Zhongli Ruoshui shrugged his shoulders, and the corners of his mouth curled, "Ning people are really proud of this, so grandma thinks that Ning Guo is ...... It will not be an external enemy, but an internal struggle...... Just listen to this, this is the reason why grandma has made many arrangements in Shuzhou. ”

Li Chenan bowed slightly, looked up at the stars and moon in the sky, and said: "Singing and praising suffering is the greatest sin!"

"Don't talk about this, Ming'er, I want to find Brother Shang Dimer, do you know where he lives?"
