Text Chapter 280 Tenderness is like water
A few days later, Yuan Zhao's injuries had all healed, and he was quietly planning how to return to Changle Plateau as soon as possible. During this time, the Hou Mansion was so noisy that he was a little unbearable.
Gentle Township is a hero's mound! Since he was injured, Mrs. Su, who heard the news, took Lingzhi and moved from Fanxue Building to the Changle Hou Mansion, taking care of him carefully every day, and it seems that she has returned to the days when he first came to this world.
For Yuan Zhao, Fan Xue Lou was his first home. The lonely soul got the first comfort there, he has always had a motherly feeling for Su Hongyun, in those panicked nights, when he woke up from a dream, it was these warm hands that wiped away his tears for him, and he will never forget it.
Mrs. Su knows his taste best, and will cook some delicious meals for him in different ways, which makes Yuan Zhao have a great appetite, and sometimes everyone jokes about it, saying that during the days when he was recuperating from his injuries, the flesh on his body has grown a lot, all thanks to Mrs. Su.
If it's just like that, of course it makes people feel very warm. However, how can things in the world go so far, in the process of growing up, there will be many small troubles, and the period before the age of fifteen or sixteen to twenty is the right time.
Yuan Zhao has encountered such trouble, and it is very, very tricky, ah, ah!
Of course, Su Lingzhi also followed Mrs. Su to live here. She is a little more than two years older than Yuan Zhao, and the girl who brought this "younger brother" home has already grown into a beautiful girl.
There are many things, although they are not single-minded, but all those who know what Yuan Zhao has experienced in the past understand the weight of the Su family's mother and daughter in his heart. The Liuyun Gang, whose power was all over the world at the beginning, dispersed overnight, and the gang leader Guo Xie was killed and wiped out, was just because he captured Lingzhi without authorization.
Moreover, in the eyes of the master father Yan, the housekeeper Yuan Yi and everyone around Yuan Zhao, Su Lingzhi is his good match in the future. The woman who has grown up is not only gentle and beautiful, but also generous, kind-hearted, compatible with everyone, and loved and respected by everyone.
The affection between people who suffer when their status is low is the most cherished. In the days when Fan Xuelou got along day and night, Yuan Zhao also silently thought about the future, no matter what happened, Lingzhi, he would never let it down.
The beauty of Su Lingzhi lies in the purity of the soul like a piece of jade. Since Yuan Zhao eradicated the threat of the Liuyun Gang and helped everyone in Fan Xue Mansion to survive the difficulties, her heart had already been given to him.
This stranger who was brought back from outside Chang'an City by herself, no matter what kind of hero he has grown up into over the years, in the depths of her eyes, she is still the child who called her Sister Lingzhi at the beginning. She washed his clothes, helped his mother bathe him in a coma, listened to him tell bizarre stories, and learned how to play the bamboo flute...... Those nostalgic pasts, when he is not around, she will think sweetly, regardless of the autumn moon and spring breeze, morning and twilight.
Yuan Zhao can naturally feel the affection of Lingzhi, although they have not said a word about the topic of feelings, but these do not need to be said with their mouths, they are in the meticulous care, in the flow of eye wave tenderness, in the moonlight of Yanran's whispering, when looking back and smiling tacitly.
The Cold Frost and Cold Snow sisters also get along well with Lingzhi, in their eyes, if they have to accept a person to become their housewife in the future, then this person must be Su Lingzhi. Others, they never, no, accept, accept!
When Yuan Zhao watched the twins play a little temper in front of him and pouted and said this, he rubbed his forehead with some embarrassment, a wry smile on his lips, and his heart was empty. Did they already know something?
It's no wonder that the heroic and invincible Marquis Changle feels tricky, because, the situation in the mansion has been a little delicate recently! I don't know what the emperor and Wei Zifu in the Jianzhang Palace think, since the last time he followed the prince Liu Ju out of the palace to the Hou Mansion to see Yuan Zhao once, Princess Li'an Suxi would come over every once in a while, and she stayed for a day. It's true that she and Lingzhi are good sisters, but they won't avoid suspicion? After all, this is not Fanxue Building, this is the Mansion of the Marquis of Changle, it is the home of the courtiers, the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty runs around all day long, and she is not afraid of the people in Chang'an City talking about ......!
Well, of course, these words were not said by Yuan Zhao, but the dissatisfied muttering of the pair of sisters in his ears, because they sensitively realized that the eyes of the eldest princess Su Xi, who could drip water, looked at her little marquis with a look that was wrong, very wrong!
On such a topic, Yuan Zhao can only be speechless. The thing he is not good at dealing with in his life is such an emotional problem, but it makes it so complicated. It's a bit complicated! If you let everyone know that occasionally late at night, there will be a flying "woman in black" who comes to his room and does something that God knows...... Yuan Zhao hugged his head and muttered, "Headache"! Although I didn't understand why the little marquis was injured in his chest and shouted a headache, the Leng sisters still shut up and obediently withdrew, letting him have a good rest.
After being quiet for a while, there was another ping-pong fight outside, Yuan Zhao didn't need to go out to see, and he knew what was going on, Xiaoice and Leng Xue, who had always looked at each other wrongly, started fighting again! This kind of thing happens a lot during this time, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.
I don't know what's going on with this pair, anyway, I haven't been with each other since I first met, my sister has a good temperament, and she never embarrasses people for no reason. And sister Leng Xue is different, her temperament is a little rude, which is similar to Xiaoice at times, maybe because of this, the two fight not once or twice.
Xiaoice followed Yuan Zhao most of the time in Changle Yuan, and when she returned to Chang'an, there were not many times, and the two of them were still safe. But this time, they all stayed in the Changle Hou Mansion, so naturally they had a small fight in three days and a big fight in five days. Fortunately, they are still a little measured, so that nothing will happen, even so, it is enough for Yuan Zhao to have a headache.
Chang'an City can't stay any longer, it's better to go back to Changle Plateau as soon as possible. When Yuan Zhao was thinking about what excuse to slip away, the housekeeper Yuan Yi walked in and told him that a guest had come to visit the little marquis, and he was very polite to pay a tribute.
So formal? Who could it be...... When Yuan Zhao took it in confusion, his face moved slightly, and he was overjoyed in his heart, this person actually took the initiative to come, and the big thing could be done! You have to do everything you can to move him.
You can treat other people casually, treat this person, Yuan Zhao must not be careless, and the corresponding etiquette must be done. Listening to the solemn instructions of the little marquis, he opened the middle door to greet him, then put on formal clothes, made a solemn expression, and walked outside. The housekeeper Yuan Yi and the Leng sisters were both surprised and puzzled, but they were just ordinary princes and ministers, how could the little marquis be so grand?
Hearing them whispering to each other after him, Yuan Zhao kept at his feet, but the corners of his mouth secretly smirked. He had already had a plan in his heart, and he wanted to think of a way to pull this person to Changle Plateau, because he had an important purpose, and if he got the help of this person, then the pattern of Chang'an College, which was about to be completed, would be very different. Yuan Zhao has been worried about the plan to recruit the world's great Confucian talents for many days, and he will get twice the result with half the effort, and he will never worry about it!
Yes, the person who came to visit him today was none other than Dong Zhongshu, who was the prime minister of Jiang Du at the time.
Without Yuan Zhao's involvement, Dong Zhongshu's current reputation and status would be even more prominent and different. But it's a pity that God made a joke and threw Yuan Zhao here thousands of years later, and the trajectory of many people's fates was changed accordingly. When Yuan Zhao saw the figure who had stepped out of the carriage outside the gate and was waiting quietly from a distance, he couldn't help but feel a trace of shame in his heart, this old man, if he knew that it was because of himself that his great mission was blocked, so that Confucianism was not pushed to the altar because of him, would he go to find a knife and fight with him?
However, he has a better path to lead this dynasty in a new direction, and he can only be sorry for him. If he could, Yuan Zhao wanted to place this Confucian master-level figure in Chang'an Academy, maybe that would be the most suitable place for the rest of his life.
Although the later "Book of Han" evaluated Dong Zhongshu as having Wang Zuozhi's talent, and raised him to the same level as Yi Yin and Lu Shang, even Guan Zhong and Yan Zi were not as good as him, it can be said that his status has been incomparable. But in Yuan Zhao's view, this is the national history of the Han Dynasty, and he is too exalted according to the emperor's wishes.
In all fairness, in the original history, the theoretical system proposed by Dong Zhongshu had a profound impact on the rule of the dynasty, and the power in the hands of the emperor was unprecedentedly concentrated. But that's not all he wants to achieve. Dong Zhongshu knows better than anyone what kind of sharp sword he forged for the emperor, this sword is held in the emperor's hand, and while splitting all the shackles that restrict the development of imperial power, it may also hurt the innocent and even do evil, so he gave this sword a scabbard.
However, he underestimated the ambitions of this emperor. When he raised the sword, the scabbard had already been thrown out of the clouds. How can the endless ambition that has been unleashed be willing to be restrained in the slightest? At that time, Dong Zhongshu, a swordsmith, was powerless.
The current well-known master of scripture, Dong Zhongshu, naturally didn't know anything about these things, he didn't know his fate, and he had already been changed by Changle Hou, who walked in front of him with a smile on his face. He came from Jiangdu this time, and heard about the scene that had just happened in the court in Chang'an City, and he had many doubts in his heart, so he made a special trip to visit.
On a winter afternoon, the sun was warm and there was a slight wind, and outside the gate of Changle Hou Yuanzhao's mansion, the two had their first formal meeting. At this time, at the age of the two people, Dong Zhongshu knew that the mandate of heaven had passed, and Yuan Zhao and the coronation ceremony had not yet been completed.
