Chapter Forty-Three: Gratitude to Zero
"Senior brother, senior brother......"
Early in the morning, the Chen family was not very peaceful.
It's still early.
Chen Zhengtai had no choice but to wash up quickly, and then went to entertain the 'distinguished guests'.
Princess Sui'an came excitedly, and when she saw the listless senior brother, she couldn't help but worry, and her clear eyes looked at Chen Zhengtai's face: "Is the senior brother sick?" ”
"No, just didn't sleep well."
"Yikes. Why didn't my brother sleep well? ”
Chen Zhengtai: "......"
"Senior brother, do you have something unspeakable?"
"I ......" Chen Zhengtai couldn't explain, he actually wanted to scold her, it was because you came early in the morning to make noise, I didn't sleep well. However, Chen Zhengtai didn't want to mention this kind of trivial matter, so he just waved at her: "I...... I'm fine. ”
When Princess Sui'an saw that Chen Zhengtai was struggling, she suddenly felt that this unfathomable senior brother was getting more and more inadequate for her brains.
Princess Sui'an really felt that she was overusing her brain.
Since I got to know my senior brother, I have received ten times more information than before.
It turns out that in this world, you have to make a contract to do business.
Originally...... It costs money to buy something.
Originally...... The guy who always shakes his head that is not commensurate with his body, raises pigs all day long, and looks stupid and stupid, is actually the cousin of a smart person like his senior brother.
Originally...... Senior brother still has unspeakable secrets.
Chen Zhengtai took a sip of tea, refreshed himself, and put on an amiable smile: "Senior sister came so early in the morning, what happened?" ”
As soon as she said this, Princess Sui'an suddenly became happy, and she said excitedly: "Senior brother knows, did you ...... yesterday My father asked me to go and asked us about the salt industry in Erpigou, and my father was very concerned about it, and I ...... at first I was still nervous, I didn't know why my father asked about this, and I was very worried, but I later learned that my father was very satisfied with the Erpigou salt industry. ”
This one......
I already knew.
Chen Zhengtai said happily: "Very satisfied, how can you be satisfied?" ”
Princess Sui'an's face flushed, even the roots of her ears were red, she felt a little ashamed to speak, but she still calmed down, and said to Chen Zhengtai very seriously: "Last night, my father was fortunate to my mother, you say, is this my father Longyan Dayue." ”
Chen Zhengtai looked confused, the ecology in the palace is a bit complicated, what is it, the emperor is fortunate to be your old mu, does it have anything to do with Longyan Dayue?
Seeing the suspicious look of the senior brother, Princess Sui'an frowned and said while holding the tender hand: "But the senior brother ...... You need to know...... My father hasn't been with my mother for thirteen years. ”
“……”
Chen Zhengtai was shocked.
Thirteen years......
Your uncle...... Squatting in the pit doesn't pull x.
"Senior sister, how old are you now?"
"This ......" Princess Sui'an showed a shy look: "Ten ...... Twelve......"
Chen Zhengtai was shocked again.
Other words...... On that stormy night thirteen years ago, Princess Sui'an's mother was very lucky to have a skin-to-skin relationship with Li Shimin, and she was lucky to give birth to Princess Sui'an.
Thereafter......
It's no wonder why Princess Sui'an is like a little transparent in the palace.
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but be happy for Princess Sui'an: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Ling's mother." ”
Princess Sui'an was a little shy: "Don't talk nonsense. ”
It's just that...... She said nonsense, but she regretted it a little, senior brother took such care of herself, she shouldn't have used such words, so Princess Sui'an glanced at Chen Zhengtai cautiously: "Senior brother...... I don't mean that......"
"I understand."
"You're really not angry?" Princess Sui'an stared at him, as if she wanted to see the flaws on his face, Chen Zhengtai shrugged: "Of course." ”
Seeing that Chen Zhengtai was really not angry, Princess Sui'an spoke again: "Senior brother, thank you for helping me." ”
Saying that, her voice was choked, Chen Zhengtai looked down and saw that Princess Sui'an was hiding her face and crying.
I saw her crying and saying, "My mother said, if it weren't for my senior brother, how could there be our mother and daughter today."
Her choked voice was filled with gratitude.
Chen Zhengtai was a little at a loss, and he was at a loss, this woman was crying, and he didn't know how to comfort him, but at this time he probably understood something in his heart.
No wonder Princess Sui'an is so easy to get along with.
And no wonder...... She has such a kind temperament, if she is replaced by another princess, with the status of a noble person, I am afraid that her tail will already reach the sky.
Even...... Looking at Princess Sui'an's crying, Chen Zhengtai actually felt that Princess Sui'an had a bit of a flattering personality, which was a manifestation of her lack of father's love since childhood.
She wants to curry favor with her father, even ...... It's also quite flattering to himself.
Chen Zhengtai relented, so send the Buddha to the west and help others to the end.
"Senior sister, you are like this, we can't talk about business."
Princess Sui'an hurriedly wiped her tears and squeezed out a light smile at Chen Zhengtai.
"I was just happy and crying with joy."
Although he felt very sorry for what happened to Princess Sui'an, he still pretended to be unfathomable.
"Our salt can not only make profits, but also give a lot of taxes to the imperial court, the teacher Longyan Dayue, this is a matter of course, I said earlier, as long as you listen to me, in the future, the teacher will look at you differently, senior brother, this person will do what he says, how can he lie to you."
"Hmm." Princess Sui'an nodded heavily: "I only know when I know my senior brother...... It turns out that there are people like senior brothers in the world. ”
He squinted: "But junior sister...... With this alone, the Holy Grace will not be able to last long. ”
Princess Sui'an's red eyes were full of astonishment, and she frowned worriedly: "......What does Senior Brother mean?"
Chen Zhengtai said: "Senior sister, do you still remember what senior brother said to you at the beginning? If you want your teacher to favor you, the most important thing is self-improvement, junior sister...... I'm a straightforward person, don't be surprised, my sister is not too smart, and compared with other princesses and princes, I really don't have any advantages. ”
I thought that Princess Sui'an would refute, but who knew that Princess Sui'an actually agreed very much, she said quietly: "I know this." ”
Chen Zhengtai sighed: "So, we have to win by surprise." ”
"Surprise win?"
"Let me ask you, what is the teacher most worried about at the moment?"
"This ......"
"What the teacher wants to do is far beyond the deeds of the ancient sages, his heart is too big, we can't imagine it, so ...... Has my sister ever thought about it...... How can I share the worries of my teacher? ”
"I ......"
Chen Zhengtai put his hands behind his back and Zhizhu in his hand: "I think about it, but there is a wonderful move." ”
"Ah, senior brother, say it quickly."
"People!" Chen Zhengtai categorically spat out a word from between his teeth.
Princess Sui'an looked puzzled: "Min? ”
"Yes." Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty is looking for ...... It is the method of the great rule of the world, and these methods, although they have existed in ancient times, are ...... When it's time to really put it into practice...... I'm afraid that it may not be useful, everyone understands the truth, but how easy is it to implement it? ”
Princess Sui'an was stunned when she heard it: "What the senior brother said is really a golden and jade good word. ”
Chen Zhengtai said in surprise: "You actually already understand." ”
Princess Sui'an shook her head again: "No, I just think what the senior brother said is foggy, but it looks very powerful." ”
Chen Zhengtai: "......"
Chen Zhengtai took a deep breath: "I once said to my mentor that the people are precious and the society is light, and the mentor was overjoyed when he heard it. It can be seen that the teacher is ...... Thousands of people are here in their minds. Sister...... Have you ever thought that if the junior sister can calm the people, then the teacher must be overjoyed when she sees it. ”
"An Min? How to reassure the people? Ah, I see, I'll take out the money......"
Chen Zhengtai shook his head: "This is wrong, the so-called teaching people to fish is better than teaching people to fish." If you just give out your possessions, it is only considered good, and it is valuable to do good, but can you help 1000 people, can you help the people of the world? ”
Princess Sui'an looked at Chen Zhengtai excitedly, and she felt more and more that her senior brother was really a person with great virtue and university questions.
World...... How can there be such a person, oh my God, he even looks so good when he speaks.
Chen Zhengtai said with a stiff face: "But ...... But I have a way, since it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, then...... You might as well give it a try, junior sister, start by helping a common man, you don't have to give him money, today's people, in fact, what they lack is not money, what they lack the most is an opportunity......"
Opportunity......
Princess Sui'an didn't seem to understand, but nodded heavily: "I listen to my senior brother for everything." ”
Really...... Good communication.
Chen Zhengtai sighed.
In fact, Chen Zhengtai doesn't know if he is doing the right thing.
But...... The last time I was in Erpigou, I thought of Deng Jian, who had only one set of clothes in that family, and I don't know why, this shocking poverty has been coiled in Chen Zhengtai's heart.
I'm just a little county man, what can I do, open a warehouse and release grain? Although the Chen family is in charge of their own affairs, the third uncle and his father, including other uncles, are afraid that they will want to kill themselves in their dreams.
He wanted to find a way......
One...... Even if it's just a small change in the times.
Today's emperor wants to rule the world. Princess Sui'an wants to be recognized.
So............ Give it a try.
