In other words, just a few days after she returned to Huo Village on the front foot to settle down, I also arrived home on the back foot. She couldn't help but feel surprised and delighted at this, but said, "Hey, how did you come back so soon?" ”

I smiled and said, "yes, I was dismissed, so I retired early." ”

"How can this be, Dong Sikong failed to control the overall situation?" She couldn't help but ask, puzzled.

I nodded and said, "Well, Yuan Kui excluded me for his own interests, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were on his side; Dong Sikong's power in the court is not as strong as his, so he is helpless. ”

She sighed and said, "Well, this is really an unexpected thing; Speaking of which, the Yuan family is one of the four generations and three dukes, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are protégés of their Yuan family, although Dong Sikong holds military power, it is indeed difficult to compete with the Yuan family; I am to blame for this, I knew that I should first uproot the Yuan family's power in the court for you. ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay, the Yuan family's power itself is not so easy to eliminate, even if you are afraid it will be difficult to control the situation at that time; After all, the new system I implemented was completely in conflict with the system of the current dynasty, and it was difficult to win the support of the scholars. ”

She was puzzled: "In that case, then why do you still propose a new reform at this juncture?" ”

I replied, "Because the world still needs a great chaos to break the old rules of the world; The world is not chaotic, the old system is difficult to break, and the new system will not have room for itself; "Zhou Yi" has a saying that "the extremes of things must be opposed", which is such a truth. ”

She couldn't help but say: "What do you mean, you just want the world to know about the new system you are implementing, and when the old system is difficult to control the current situation, it will be the day when the new system will soar to the sky, right?" ”

I smiled and nodded, "Well, you're so smart. ”

She couldn't help but say, "How can I be less than one-tenth of you compared to you; By the way, I've learned to make a fire to cook in the past few days, but it's not as delicious as yours. ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll make it for you later." ”

But she said: "No, in other people's families, the husband works outside to earn money, and the virtuous wife takes care of the housework at home; How can our family let you do everything, doesn't that make me seem too useless? Don't worry, how can I say that I am also a dignified queen mother, how can such a trivial matter as housework be difficult to stop me. ”

I couldn't help but smile, and then asked, "By the way, what did your family do in the past, I remember it seems to be selling meat, right?" ”

She nodded and said, "yes; Let me tell you the truth, in fact, whether it is killing chickens and cows, or washing and cooking, I can do what my daughter's family can do, and I can do what my daughter's family can't; It's just that the only thing that makes me feel a little inferior is that the food I cook is not as delicious as yours; I'm afraid you're upset, that's why I said you just learned to cook. ”

"Huh." I couldn't help but laugh when I heard her say that.

She couldn't help but ask strangely, "What are you laughing at?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Cooking is such a thing, and no one is born to make it delicious; Of course, I am an exception, because I am different from ordinary people, I am a genius myself, and I can learn everything as soon as I learn it; Therefore, you don't need to have low self-esteem at all, just learn slowly in the future, find more experience in actual work, and one day you will also cook deliciously. ”

She nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense; But it's okay, I won't do it, just teach me more. ”

"Well, I'll definitely teach you well." I smiled and nodded.

It was night, and a bright moon was in the sky. said that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for more than half a month, and the moon in the sky is still so round. Because the atmosphere of this era was not polluted, the stars in the sky could be seen very clearly, and occasionally a meteor could be seen passing by.

Since the house was a little stuffy, I set up a board bed in the courtyard outside the house, and then spread straw mats and bamboo mats, and then hung up mosquito nets, and she and I enjoyed the moon outside.

She pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "Look, the stars in the sky are so beautiful that you could pluck one for me." ”

"Huh." I couldn't help but laugh.

She couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?" ”

I said, "Do you know how big the stars are in the sky?" ”

She couldn't help but say, "How big it can be, it looks like it's just a little bigger." ”

I smiled and said, "You, you're just confused by what you see; In fact, every star in the sky is a world, some of which are smaller than the world we live in, and some of which are larger than the world we live in. ”

She couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Huh? No way? But when I look at them, they're only so big, how can they be like you say? ”

I said, "That's because they're so far away that they look like they're tiny; Guess how big is the sun in the sky? ”

She groaned, then shook her head and said, "It looks as big as a millstone, but if it's as you say, I can't guess how big it is." ”

I said, "When you see the sun in the daytime, it seems to be the size of a millstone, but in fact it is one and three hundred thousand times the size of the world we live in; In other words, it would take 1.3 million of the worlds we live in to be stacked together to be the size of a sun. ”

She suddenly showed an incredulous expression, but said, "It's really fake, but I think it's only the size of a grinding disc?" ”

I smiled and said, "I said, it's because it's so far away; If you don't believe me, I'll make you an astronomical telescope and you'll know everything. ”

"What is an astronomical telescope?" She asked curiously.

I said, "An astronomical telescope is an instrument that can see far away, and it has a common name called clairvoyance. ”

She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, that's amazing! ”

I smiled and then said, "You know, the world we live in is called 'Earth' in my hometown; But if you stand on the moon and look at it, you will see that the world is actually a blue balloon, because what you see is a large ocean. ”

"Water polo? Do you mean that the world we live in is a big, watery, kemari-like ball? She couldn't help but ask again.

I nodded and said, "yes, it's a big, very beautiful ball." ”

"Hmm." She couldn't help but groan, but said: "The ancients said that the land where people live is a very vast land, and the sky is an upside-down pot; Now that I'm here with you, it's become a ball like a keju, and I really don't understand. ”

"Huh." I couldn't help but laugh again, and then said, "It's okay, you'll understand everything later." ”

In this way, I spent a few days with her in a quiet day. Zhang Jing, who was far away in Jinyang, heard that I was back, so she hurriedly threw down the matter at hand and ran back to find me. I thought she would leave angrily, but it turned out to be far beyond my expectations.

This morning, when I was inspecting the situation in the village, Erwa suddenly ran over to me and reported: "Chief, there is news in the capital that Empress Dowager He's biological mother, Wuyangjun, was mutilated by assassins, and it is said that she was the result of the court. ”

"Oh?" I was a little surprised when I heard this, and then I thought to myself.

Erwa couldn't help asking, "Chief, do you think this assassin will be the big leader?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, this matter should not have been done by Dong Sikong sent by his brother; Killing Wuyangjun is not beneficial to Dong Sikong at all, and it is also unnecessary. ”

Erwa couldn't help but wonder: "Then it's strange, why did the people present at the time point out that it was Dong Sikong who sent someone to do it?" ”

I smiled and said, "It's just a blame; These are the usual tricks of that group of people, although they can deceive ordinary people, but they cannot deceive those who are truly knowledgeable. ”

Erwa nodded and said, "I see." ”

I pondered for a moment, and then said, "Don't spread this matter around, so as not to discredit my brother." ”

Erwa nodded and said, "My subordinates understand; By the way, Miss Zhang has just returned from Fucheng, and she has probably arrived at your house at this time. ”

I nodded and said, "Well, I see, you go get busy." ”

"The subordinate has retired." Immediately, the second baby left.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly, I always have to come. (To be continued.) )
