Chapter 14: Separation
But when Tang Ning retrieved Jiao Zhongqing's memory, he suddenly found that when he first studied the article "Peacock Flying Southeast", he ignored one of the most important issues, that is, the first sentence of the full text, "Preface: Jian'an in the late Han Dynasty".
That's right, this, this is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, isn't that the beginning of the Three Kingdoms? After careful calculation of the time, it is now the fourth year of Jian'an, and Sun Ce is not dead. As for the hatred between Jiao Zhongqing and Sun Ce, it is because when Sun Ce broke through Lujiang Mansion, he brutally killed Lu Kang, the former Taishou of Lujiang, you must know that the Lu family is a Jiangdong wang clan, and Lu Kang is very popular in Lujiang, especially for his subordinates, big and small officials, are very careful, so when Lujiang was besieged, "the officials and soldiers who were on leave first, they all fled and went back, and entered the city at dusk." (Lu Kang is Lu Xun's grandfather who "burned the company camp")
And Jiao Zhongqing, as an old man in Lujiang Mansion, naturally has kindness to his old boss Lu Kang, and it is reasonable that he wants to avenge him. It's just that he is now a small official, and it is impossible to assassinate Sun Ce, the de facto overlord of Jiangdong, so he can only sigh secretly, so there is a saying that "keeping festivals and loving people will not waver".
But no matter how difficult this task is, Tang Ning wants to try it, because the reward for this side quest is a thousand taels of gold, and a hundred taels of gold will make him a millionaire, so isn't this thousand taels of gold a multimillionaire? For this, I have to find a way to fight myself!
Just when Tang Ning was thinking nonsense, a soft voice suddenly came: "Xianggong, what are you thinking about?" Didn't Lang Zhong say that you need to recuperate now and not be too distracted, otherwise it will affect your recovery. ”
Tang Ning looked up, it turned out to be his wife, that is, the tragic heroine of "Peacock Flying Southeast" - Liu Lanzhi, although she knew that she was a white rich beauty as early as when she was reading the book, but now she saw it with her own eyes and found that she was indeed a rare beauty without makeup, even more beautiful than Han Xuewei after removing makeup, the only drawback is that she is not as tall as Han Xuewei, but this is normal, after all, this is the Three Kingdoms period, and it is impossible to compare with the modern age of adequate nutrition.
Seeing Tang Ning's stunned look, Liu Lanzhi bowed her head a little embarrassed and said, "Xianggong, why do you look at people like this?" ”
"Because you're good-looking, lady." Tang Ning laughed casually.
"Don't make fun of the slave family, let's drink the medicine first, otherwise it will be cold in a while." As he spoke, Liu Lanzhi handed over the medicine bowl in his hand and wanted to serve Tang Ning to drink the medicine.
I don't know why, Tang Ning had a feeling of Wu Dalang before he died at this time, of course, he also knew that Liu Lanzhi would never do such a thing, but now that he had nothing to do, he naturally refused to drink the medicine, so he put the medicine bowl aside and said: "Lady, don't you see that I'm not doing well now, I don't need to take this medicine." ”
Seeing that Liu Lanzhi was still trying to persuade herself, Tang Ning hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "Lady, I see that your eyebrows are deep, but you seem to have a lot of trouble, or I will let Lang Zhong show you one day." ”
Liu Lanzhi shook his head and said, "The slave family is a heart disease, how can it be cured by medicinal stones." ”
"Lady, your heart disease must be from your mother, right?" Tang Ning asked tentatively.
Liu Lanzhi asked in surprise: "Why did Xianggong say this?" Could it be that Shuqing is babbling nonsense in your ear? ”
The Shuqing mentioned by Liu Lanzhi refers to Jiao Zhongqing's third sister, in fact, it can be seen from Jiao Zhongqing's name that the names of their brothers and sisters are arranged according to "Uncle Bozhong", so he is the second eldest brother, Jiao Boqing, and the third sister Jiao Shuqing. And the third sister Jiao Shuqing has always gotten along well with Liu Lanzhi, and when they left, the two of them said goodbye in tears. (but said goodbye to her sister-in-law, tears fell and beads), so Liu Lanzhi thought that Jiao Shuqing told her husband what was on her mind.
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I'm not stupid, do you still need Shuqing to tell me this kind of thing?" I can see it by myself. In fact, I am also to blame for this, knowing that you and your mother are both hard-natured, and you didn't solve this problem earlier, causing you to suffer so many grievances. ”
Hearing her husband's warm and concerned words, Liu Lanzhi suddenly felt that the pain in her heart had dissipated a lot, and she shook her head again and again: "How can I blame you?" Obviously, I didn't do well enough, which made my mother feel dissatisfied. ”
Tang Ning sighed, and then said: "Actually, you have done a good job, but your temperament doesn't please your mother." She's used to being strong, and she likes everyone to listen to her no matter what's right or wrong, so no matter how good you do, just because of your stubbornness, she won't like you. Look at your sister-in-law, she is inferior to you in terms of knowledge, appearance, and ability, but why does my mother just like her? Isn't it because she's obedient? ”
Then he changed his words and said, "But don't blame her. Because Daddy died early, and the three of our brothers were raised by Grandma, think about it, a woman with three children, if she is not spicy and decisive, how much bullying will she have to suffer? ”
Although she still didn't agree with her mother-in-law's approach and attitude, after hearing her husband's explanation, Liu Lanzhi imagined herself in her shoes, and somewhat understood why her mother-in-law had this temper, so she lowered her head and said: "Well, Xianggong, you are right, it is indeed not easy for my mother and her old man, now that your brothers have grown up, you should also enjoy the blessings, then, I will also learn from my sister-in-law in the future." ”
But to her surprise, Tang Ning actually shook his head and said: "That's not necessary, everyone's temper and personality are different, and you won't be happy if you force you to change, I didn't marry you to make you suffer from grievances, so you don't have to change at all, lady, I have another way to deal with this matter." ”
"Oh? Xianggong, what do you have to do? Liu Lanzhi asked in surprise.
"It's very simple, we just have to move out." Tang Ning replied disapprehantly.
"What?! Xianggong, are you going to split up?! Liu Lanzhi couldn't help but exclaim.
Tang Ning hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered: "Lady, you can be quiet, if this is heard by Grandma, then we will all be in trouble!" ”
Hearing Tang Ning say this, Liu Lanzhi hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Xianggong, this family division doesn't seem appropriate, with my mother's temper, if you say it, she will definitely be angry!" ”
"That's right, so we can't say separation, let's change it to a euphemism." Tang Ning replied mysteriously.
PS: I wish you all a Merry Christmas, the only pity is that you still have to go to work today......
