190.Chapter 190
Pei Jin heard this and didn't speak for a long time.
He has been up and down in the sea for many years, and he is well versed in people's hearts, so he naturally understands that most people are the same, and when he competes for the throne, he can't wait for his mother and wife to be extremely strong. Once he got the throne, his thoughts immediately fell one by one, the more shabby and declining the mother and wife clan are, the better, and the courtiers would rather be mediocre than loyal, and must not use those smart people who are not easy to control.
Su Rui is a very popular minister and has four sons, even if he didn't bring his son to join the army, with the current status of the Su family, just marriage is a big force. Besides, there is such an old man, and his son is working as a personal guard on the left and right guards, and he has a great future, and in another ten years, the Su family cannot be underestimated.
Not all emperors are as enlightened and generous as today's saints, King Wei is a 'yin' 'sex', and after ascending the throne, he can't tolerate the Su family, which is very likely. Therefore, Pei Jin was silent for a long time before asking, "What about King Lu?" β
"King Lu?" Pei Xi sneered and said unhurriedly, "King Lu has three sons-in-law, three concubines, one of whom was born to a slave who gave birth to the eldest 'daughter' of King Lu, and he still has no name. Thanks to her, King Lu's eldest 'daughter' and this concubine have not been on the genealogy so far, let alone titled. I heard that among the three sons-in-law of King Lu, the eldest son and the second son were very unkind to the younger brother, and only the third son was quite friendly to the younger brother and had the style of a sage. You say, if it is King Lu Yuji, who will win these three sons-in-law? β
The prince's son-in-law, even if he can't inherit the prince, the position of the county prince is also a certainty. But the concubine wants to desperately win his father's favor in order to compete for the only two county dukes in each prince's palace. As the prince's son-in-law, why should he risk being disliked by his parents, and love his brother-in-law who can't even get on the genealogy? At a young age, his mind is so deep, King Lu really became the emperor...... It is not yet known who killed the deer.
Pei Jin himself is the patriarch, so he naturally understands the mentality of people who rely on him for survival, and he is really afraid that he will do something bad and disgust him, and no one dares to do anything that offends him, even if it is his sister-in-law Pei Li, that is, Pei Xi......
Thinking of this, Pei Jin sighed lightly and was noncommittal: "What about King Zhao?" β
"King Zhao? King Zhao is even more ridiculous! He was the richest of the kings, but Princess Zhao's maiden family blatantly opened a pawnshop. Not to mention Shen Zhaorong's background, and no matter whether Princess Zhao's maiden family has no money or is hungry for profit, just looking at Zhao Wangguan doesn't care about this matter, he knows that the saint will not have any high hopes for him! The last sentence is categorical and loud.
Similarly, King Han, who killed his fiancΓ©e's 'life' for his own 'selfishness', the saint will not 'hand' the great country into his hands. It's just that these thousands of miles of splendid mountains and rivers are too 'tempting', and the status of King Wei is the lowest among the brothers, and King Zhao and King Han, who are unwilling to bow down to their brothers who looked down on them in the past, will fight desperately when they know that the possibility of success is not large, even if they can't win, it is good not to let King Wei benefit.
Pei Jin saw that Pei Xi was in high spirits, and poured a basin of cold water on him mercilessly: "Just act as the king?" Even if it is a biological son, for the sake of rights, father and son cannot be father and son, mother and son cannot be mother and son, brothers cannot become brothers, and neither is it true for sisters and brothers, let alone adopted. It's not your own birth, and you can never raise it, Si Chen, the country? β
"That will be at least thirty years from now." Pei Xi said softly, slowly, but very solemnly, "That's what I should think about." β
His disrespect was so obvious, but Pei Jin didn't think it was wrong, on the contrary, the old man laughed loudly, laughing very happily, and completely sincerely.
Pei Xi clenched his hands hard, unwilling to look at his grandfather's expression again, but he couldn't stop himself from sketching in his mind - his grandfather must have looked at him with a loving and relieved look, as if the towering tree was pleased with the growth of the small sapling under his protection, which warmed his heart and made him cold.
Grandfather really loved him and poured all his heart and soul into him, hoping that he would continue the glory of Luoyang Pei's family. But in the same way, my grandfather also hoped that he would give up unnecessary feelings and expectations and become a person like himself.
Cold, cold, selfish, self-interested, there is nothing else in his heart except for the continuation of himself and Luoyang Pei's family.
Favored concubines? Concubine? There is love, and love also exists, in the final analysis, but it is just a weakness deliberately created by Pei Jin. Luoyang Pei's descendants are not prosperous, rather than accidentally offending the future emperor, it is better to make his own "family house restless", so that the emperor who thinks he is smart can play an imperial trick.
Pei Xi was disgusted with his grandfather's way of acting, but he couldn't deny the terrible power of blood, his privileged life came from the family, and he also had the blood of the Pei family in Luoyang in his body. The head of this family has been like this for generations, in order to change to a new owner, he can give up all his property, in order to save the family can end his own 'sexual' life, they pursue the principle of mutual benefit, marriage is always a sale and investment. It is precisely because of such meticulousness, selfishness, delicacy and ruthlessness that Luoyang Pei's status has been unshakable for hundreds of years, and its reputation is very good.
I don't want this, Pei Xi thought to himself, but I need strength.
When the craftsmen and gardeners of the Pei clan in Luoyang embarked on the journey to Chang'an, Qin Wan was happily 'talking' with An Sheng.
It stands to reason that Qin Wan became the 'wife' of the Su family's mound and took care of the housework, so he shouldn't be so idle. After all, the Su family has been waiting for her for a long time, and the age of the Su family's 'daughters' is a little too old, Su Yu still has four younger brothers and sisters to talk about, and the marriage of Su Rui's second son Su Rong is set for three months after Qin Wan marries into the 'door'.
When Qin Wanchu took over the housework, he had to '' such a grand ceremony, Su Rong's reputation was damaged and had a direct relationship with her, and some people said that it was thankless or not, and it should have been very ''. It's just that this time, even the heavens are watching for her.
In the two months of marriage, the groom stepped into the new house less than 30% of the times, and Qin Wan became pregnant.
At this point, she is like her own mother Shen Man, Shen Man was also pregnant with a child soon after getting married, and gave birth to the eldest son of the next generation of princesses, Qin Kun, in the first year of marriage. Later, Qin Kun was gone, Shen Man grieved for more than a year, and finally cheered up, but it was only a few months before he had Qin Wan with the acting king.
The import of Tian Ding is a happy event, and no one dares to make her tired. Qin Wan has scattered enough money and earned enough reputation in the past two months, and Shi Shiran 'handed over' the housework to Mo Luan. Mo Luan saw that her subordinates praised Qin Wan's 'handover', and remembered the generous reward she had when she governed her family, and almost gritted her teeth - she had never treated these subordinates badly, but who would have trouble with money? Selling the master's information has to bear the risk, and the conscience will be disturbed, how can there be a fair and honest reward? Qin Wan is rich, he can spread like this, but the Su family can't!
Mo Luan is a person who hates others better than herself, and the director of the family is her very proud skill, and she boasts that the world can be as rigid and soft as her, loose and moderate, and there are few masters who are loved by others. suddenly found that loyal subordinates could be "bought" with money, and they had no place to send their anger after accumulating a stomach, and they had to work hard for the marriage of their second son. After finishing the marriage of the second son, it is the marriage of the third son, and the third son is still Mrs. Lu's only 'daughter' An Sheng, and nothing makes her feel comfortable.
Whether she is happy or not, it has nothing to do with Qin Wan, after Qin Wan married into the Su family, she observed a circle of people in the Su family, and only loved An Sheng, who lived here, just like now, she took a few pieces of drawing paper, spread it in front of An Sheng, and said with a smile: "I went to consult Mr. 'Yu', Mr. 'Yu' said that the courtyard in the Western Regions is like this, what do you think?" β
An Sheng knew that she didn't like Mo Luan, but she didn't know the past in her "previous life", she just compared her heart to her heart, and felt that Mo Luan didn't like her in the first place, and took her in for the sake of business reputation and political interests, but she "seduced" her son, and of course she hated herself.
In fact, An Sheng also felt a little sorry for Mo Luan and didn't dare to get close to him. She was not for Mo Luan's third son, Su Shu, but when she saw Su Rui, the prince of Qucheng County, somehow she was very close to and longed for him. Obviously, he only saw one side, but he couldn't help but think of his majestic figure, and longed for his eyes to stay on his body and get his approval.
She lost her cowardice when she was young, no one taught her what love is, what love is, three from the four virtues pressed down, An Sheng didn't know that he admired Su Rui as a father, and when he was shameless and coveted Mo Luan's husband, she became more and more depressed, and she couldn't raise her head. Qin Wan appeared at this time, noble but warm as the 'spring' wind, bold but witty, and very good to An Sheng. In this way, An Sheng removed the missing family affection from Su Rui and invested it on Qin Wan. Although she is a little older than Qin Wan, she considers herself a little sister, seeing Qin Wan asking herself, An Sheng looked at the sketch given by Qin Wan very seriously, and then said: "The style of the Western Regions is good, but ...... Didn't the county lord borrow craftsmen from the Pei family to prepare to build Luoyang Garden? Mixed together, isn't it a little weird? β
Qin Wan laughed when he heard this: "You also know me, one idea a day, I like the 'exquisite' ingenuity of Jiangnan Garden, I love the atmosphere of Chang'an Garden, and I like Luoyang Garden, which integrates the charm of the two." Listening to Mr. 'Jade' mention the style of the Western Regions, he was also very moved. There are so many Zhuangzi houses and gardens in Chang'an, each with its own merits, if I 'get' the same one out, others will laugh or not, and I will feel ashamed. β
She was looking for 'jade' late, of course she wanted to observe the other party, she couldn't say it clearly, could she? What a good reason to repair the garden, not only can you observe the two Zhuang heads in charge of the 'flower' wood in Sufu, but you can also find the 'jade' to talk to you every once in a while, and you can also write to Pei Xi in the name of the word, and when the garden is repaired, her children should almost land, and she can devote herself to the 'communication', which is really a lot of work.
An Sheng didn't know that Qin Wan was thinking so far, and she was just for comparison.
The family has a style of comparison, the previous dynasty was especially strict in fighting for wealth, the Great Xia Haiyan River was clear, the people were rich and peaceful, and such a trend rose again among the powerful and noble, although the sage did not like it, but it was only forbidden to overdo the extravagant 'waste' fee, especially not to exploit the people's wealth for the sake of repairing the garden. If you 'spend' your own money, who cares about you? Although An Sheng did not approve of this approach, he could not refute Qin Wan's interest, and after a little thought, he asked: "I heard that there is a lake in the county lord's Zhuangzi?" β
