People in this world seem to value filial piety more than the sky.

Some men can divorce their wives because the wife of the family does not like them, even if the wife is not at fault.

If a man insists on standing on the side of the old lady, a person who is a daughter-in-law seems to have no other way out than to forbear.

A better man may treat his daughter-in-law badly in front of others and satisfy his wife, but he will still be considerate of his daughter-in-law in every way and be very sorry.

It can be said that if you marry this kind of man, you are already signed.

And Xiao Shiji, if it weren't for the fact that he lost his father at an early age, he completely relied on himself to work hard outside to support the family, I am afraid that he would be like those men, maintaining the dignity of his mother everywhere in front of people, and forcing his daughter-in-law to bow her head.

It is extremely rare to be able to do this with Xiao Shi.

Du Hengshuang thought about it, the depression in his heart gradually dissipated, and said to Zhu Susu: "You don't know the way, men are filial, not only that they really respect their father and mother to the core, but there are many other tests in it." ”

"Anything else?" Zhu Susu didn't understand, "In addition to making their old lady feel comfortable, what other benefits are there?" ”

Du Hengshuang chuckled: "Susu, do you know that what is the most important way for a man to become an official, in addition to his family background?" ”

"Imperial examinations?" Zhu Susu was a little hesitant and said, in addition to fighting his father, isn't another way to be the imperial examination?

Du Hengshuang paused, "The imperial examination has only appeared for a few years, so it is not the most important. ”

Zhu Susu: "......" is not important now, and it will become the only way to become an official in the future...... Of course, Zhu Susu didn't say anything. Curious, she asked, "What is it?" ”

Du Hengshuang said with a smile: "Since ancient times, if a man wants to be an official, he needs someone to recommend him. The most important criterion for recommendation, one is filial piety, the other is honesty, also known as 'filial piety'. ”

Zhu Susu let out a big breath and nodded vigorously, "I see." I said how some men can be so 'stupid', it's like they don't have brains. - It turns out that it is not that he does not have a brain, but that he has a big brain. 'Foolishness' can bring them great practical benefits. ”

Du Hengshuang smiled lightly and nodded. "Confucianism claims that filial piety should be the foundation of a person's life, and that when an official is in politics, he must be honest. Therefore, filial piety is regarded as an important way to recommend officials. Before the advent of the imperial examination. Filial piety is the only way for those men to enter the ranks. ”

Zhu Susu sneered: "I see. I dare say. If there is no 'filial piety'. can be an official, even if Confucianism is heavenly, these men will not be single-minded to the level of 'foolish filial piety'. ”

Filial piety, of course, should be. But most of the things in the world are overkill, too much.

Filial piety later, most of them must have the performance of "foolish filial piety" in order to meet the standard of recommendation.

Ordinary filial piety is not enough to make you famous in the world.

More extremely, it takes "foolishness" to the point of self-harm in order for everyone to praise them.

For example, if you want to eat a fish for your father and mother in winter, you run to the ice and lie on the ice to beg for carp. Or, when his parents have an incurable disease, the filial son will cut the meat off his arm and stew it for his father and mother to eat. Whether it can be cured well is one thing, the key is to make the reputation of "filial piety" famous all over the world, in order to achieve the goal of "filial piety".

Du Hengshuang covered his sleeves and nodded: "Although Su Su's words are a little straighter, they are good. ”

Zhu Susu was thinking that after the imperial examination occupied the main position in later generations, although there were many fewer "foolish and filial" men, all men were official fans, and they would never let go if they could have one more way to become an official. However, if these men are "stupid and filial", it will be fine, but most men show their filial piety by embarrassing their wives. It is no wonder that many of the criteria for choosing a son-in-law for later generations of women have become "having a car and a house, no father and no mother......

Du Hengxue listened in a daze, thinking of what Xu Yanbang told her today, and couldn't help but feel confused.

Du Hengshuang asked Zhu Susu again, "Is your body better?" ”

"Much better. I've been feeling tired lately. Zhu Susu was a little sleepy, and said with drooping eyelids.

Du Hengshuang got up to say goodbye and said to Du Hengxue: "On the sixteenth day of the first month, we will send a table to the Cui family to make amends, and the seventeenth day of the first month is your return ceremony, you should prepare well." ”

Du Hengxue nodded and sent Du Hengshuang out.

Du Hengshuang returned to his courtyard and saw Xiao Shiji finally back, lying on the couch alone, with his arms on his pillow.

Du Hengshuang ignored him, but remembering what he had just said to Zhu Susu, his heart softened again, he slowly walked over, sat on the edge of the couch, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" That's how you came back from the Xu family. What did Lord Xu say to you? He didn't ask Xiao Shi what he was doing with his mother.

In short, as long as Xiao Shiji maintained her face in front of people, she would not ask Xiao Shiji what words to comfort his mother, so as not to be bored.

Closest relatives and sparse husband and wife.

Husband and wife, sometimes intimate, sometimes but also to leave a little distance and space for each other, otherwise they will suffocate the relationship because they get too close.

Xiao Shiji opened his eyes and saw Du Hengshuang's bright cheeks becoming more and more dazzling under the lamp, he couldn't help squinting, smiled and held Du Hengshuang's hand tightly, "It's something to say." "These things, Xiao Shiji does not intend to hide them from Du Hengshuang.

“…… He said that the Lanling Xiao family wanted to pull me into the family tree and put our Xiao family on the family tree of the Lanling Xiao family. ”

"Huh? It's true?! Du Hengshuang gasped, obediently, this is amazing. The Lanling Xiao clan is only a little lower than the five surnamed Qiwang Shi clan gate valves. And hundreds of years ago, when the Lanling Xiao clan founded the country, there were no five surnames and seven wangs......

It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Xiao Shiji saw that Du Hengshuang seemed overjoyed, and asked with some surprise: "Do you think this matter is very good?" ”

Du Hengshuang patted his chest, "Don't worry, let me slow down first." This incident is so unexpected, it is simply a great blessing to go out and meet a nobleman, bow your head and pick gold, it is completely unearned. ”

"Blessing?" Xiao Shiji raised his eyebrows. "You really want to join the Scholar Clan?"

Du Hengshuang glanced at Xiao Shiji, "When did I think about it." I've said it's 'getting something for nothing'. INTERVIEWER How many of the things that are earned for nothing are serious things? ”

Xiao Shiji breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Du Hengshuang's hand, and kissed it on the lips, "Great, I'm really afraid that you will think this is a good thing." ”

Du Hengshuang raised his eyebrows, snatched his hand away from Xiao Shiji's lips, and said angrily: "In your heart, I am this kind of person? ”

Xiao Shihe smiled, sat up and took Du Hengshuang into his arms. Kissed her on the cheek. "We're all the same people. ”

This sentence made Du Hengshuang feel infinitely emotional, quietly leaned his head on Xiao Shiji's arms, listened to his calm and powerful heartbeat, and a somewhat impetuous heart gradually calmed down.

It's been a long time. Du Hengshuang remembered something. asked, "Why did the Lanling Xiao clan suddenly remember to pull our family into the family tree now?" Who is behind this? ”

Xiao Shiji was a little surprised. Grabbed Du Hengshuang's shoulder, picked her up from his chest, and looked into her eyes for a long time. "How do you think someone instigated it?" ”

"Well, I just don't think there's any wind and no waves. Everything has a reason. We and the Lanling Xiao family have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, besides, there are many people with the surname Xiao, could it be that the people surnamed Xiao in the world are all side branches of the Lanling Xiao family? Du Hengshuang pursed his lips and glanced at Xiao Shihe.

"My daughter-in-law is really smart and icy." Xiao Shiji praised Du Hengshuang with a smile.

"Less poor mouth, let's talk quickly, who is behind the scenes?" Du Hengshuang gently pushed Xiao Shiji's chest.

Xiao Shiji said: "It's the Cui family." Cui Dalang and his wife went to visit Xiao Yu's house today, and said that they wanted to marry the Xiao family. Master Xu has a wide range of roads, and when he knew about it, he mentioned it to me. ”

As soon as he heard that it was related to the Cui family, Du Hengshuang, who was originally a little regretful, immediately cheered up, "Let me say it." Looks like there's a real problem. ”

Du Hengshuang got up from the couch and walked around the back room, stopping at the large rosewood insert that was more than one person tall and one zhang wide in the center of the room, looking at the delicate embroidery of peony blossoms on the interstitial, and said thoughtfully: "The Cui family is killing two birds with one stone." Now that they are letting out the rumors, whether they succeed or not, Your Majesty will be afraid of you. ”

Xiao Shiji stood up suddenly, walked a few steps, and came to Du Hengshuang's side, "You said Your Majesty would believe them?" Even if I refuse to enter the Xiao family tree, I can't do it? There was some eagerness in his voice.

The meaning mentioned by Du Hengshuang was something Xiao Shiji did not expect, and it was also the meaning that Xu Shao did not mention.

Du Hengshuang sighed, lowered his head and said sullenly: "My father said that the biggest problem under His Majesty is being suspicious. Look at Prince Yi, or his biological son, this is not to mention pulling out, and all the people in the palace who are related to Prince Yi, no matter what the situation, will be eradicated in one go. ”

Xiao Shiji's face was gloomy, "The Cui family is simply too deceitful!" ”

"It's me who is not good. I'm in trouble for you. Du Hengshuang hugged Xiao Shiji's arm, leaned his head on his shoulder, and muttered.

Xiao Shiji hurriedly said: "It's none of your business. If you don't make a move, I will do it too. - Didn't I tell you a long time ago? You're just picking this opportunity. ”

"Ugh." Du Hengshuang also knew that this was the reason. Now it is clear that His Majesty wants to take Xiao Shihe as the leader and fight against the "Cui Banchao". But one careless, the "leader" becomes a scapegoat. It's a very difficult balance to grasp.

"No, you can't let the Cui family succeed this time." Du Hengshuang's expression was grim, and he said to Xiao Shiji: "What are you going to do?" ”

Xiao Shihe said sullenly: "I haven't thought about it yet." He said to Du Hengshuang again: "But I have already told Xiao Yi, let him prepare the car, I will go to Luoyang and pick up my grandmother to come and live." ”

Du Hengshuang was shocked, and then happy, tilted his head and looked at Xiao Shihe for a long time with interest, seeing that half of Xiao Shihe's face was hot.

"What do you think I'm doing like that?" Xiao Shiji pulled Du Hengshuang around the large interstitial screen in the center of the room and walked into the other side. Like a small house, the Qiangong Stepping Bed is on that side.

Du Hengshuang smiled and said, "Why did you take your great-grandmother to live with us in Chang'an?" ”

Xiao Shihe didn't look over, and said casually: "The Xiao family only has such an ancestor as her, how can she continue to live in the nunnery alone." "That's a good point.

Du Hengshuang knew what Xiao Shihe really meant, and couldn't help but stretch out his arms to hug Xiao Shiji's neck, and asked softly, "...... You're for me, aren't you? ”

Bringing the great-grandmother to Chang'an is obviously to add another elder to his mother's dragon fragrant leaves.

"I have received your heart. I was wrong yesterday, and I'm going to make amends to my mother-in-law tomorrow. Du Hengshuang was extremely moved, snuggled into Xiao Shiji's arms, and kissed him on the left cheek.

Xiao Shiji smiled and kissed her back, shook his head and said, "No need." I don't understand your mind yet? If it weren't for the last resort, you wouldn't have made this decision. After a pause, Xiao Shiji said: "However, you are a junior, even if you have a reason, if you let outsiders know the truth, they will still think that you are too much, and your reputation is not good, I am reluctant to let you be poked in the back." ”

Du Hengshuang's heart was like honey flowing, it was so sweet that it was about to overflow.

Long Xiangye's mother-in-law is very responsive, but with Xiao Shi and a husband like her, even if she is relieved, she is willing to be satisfied......

"I will go to Luoyang in person, talk to my great-grandmother, and then pick her up." Xiao Shiji said, took off the hairpin on Du Hengshuang's head, and watched her long black hair hang down like a waterfall.

Du Hengshuang's hair has a little natural curl, and when the hair is loose, the curly hair ripples in the ears, lazy and tempting, which is Xiao Shihe's favorite look.

Du Hengshuang lowered his head and smiled, and did not stop it anymore, but his heart suddenly had an idea, and he suddenly raised his head and said to Xiao Shiji: "You go to Luoyang to pick up your grandmother, why don't I go with you?" - It's not just me, it's our whole family! By the way, I also happened to go back to Luoyang to finalize the matter of Xue'er's return to the sect with the Du family's clansmen. ”

"All going? It's snowing heavily, and it's snowing these days, so the road to Luoyang is not easy to walk. Xiao Shiji didn't know why Du Hengshuang insisted on going, and he had to take the whole family with him.

Du Hengshuang pushed him and said angrily: "What a fool." Let's go to Luoyang as a family, and we must make a big fanfare, saying that we will go back to Luoyang to worship our ancestors. ——Publicize this matter in advance, see if the Cui family and the Lanling Xiao family, and whether there is a face to come over as a grace, let us enter the genealogy of the Lanling Xiao family! ”

What a brilliant idea!

Worshipping ancestors naturally wants to inform the world that their Luoyang Xiao clan has nothing to do with the Lanling Xiao clan at all! thus cutting off the other party's way to pull them into the Lanling Xiao clan!

In doing so, not only did he naturally take his grandmother Yang to Chang'an, so that Long Xiangye had nothing to say, but also blocked the mouths of the Qinghe Cui family and the Lanling Xiao family in advance, and expressed his loyalty to His Majesty, this is to show His Majesty with practical actions that Xiao Shihe is unwilling to join the Shi clan, and would rather serve His Majesty as a Hanmen Shu clan!

Xiao Shiji stood up suddenly, looked at Du Hengshuang for a long time, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, reached out to support her armpit and picked her up in a circle, "Great! That's great! ——Let's go back to Luoyang tomorrow to worship our ancestors! ”
