Chapter 72: The Housewife Who Teaches Her Children (11)
The emperor heard the imperial doctor reply that Zhou Zhan's injury was real, and he was so angry that he couldn't do it, but there was nothing he could do about Zhou Zhan, he couldn't tie up a disabled person to the front line and let him lead the troops, right? Is it going to war or going to give the enemy a head?
If Zhou Zhan was injured in one eye or one hand, it would be okay to say, if his leg was fine, he could still lead the troops to fight, but he even injured his leg, and he didn't leave any way back for the emperor, the emperor hated it so much, even if he knew that Zhou Zhan was intentional nine times out of ten, he couldn't help it, he just wanted to hold his breath and win the battle, and then settle accounts with him! This time, he will not be deceived by Zhou Zhanmeng, and his heart will be soft-hearted......
During Zhou Zhan's recuperation, he lived a carefree life of eating and drinking, and he was either reading books or playing chess with himself every day, and he was not worried about the war at all.
An Nan asked him, "Why aren't you worried at all?" What if the foreign enemy comes all the way to the capital? ”
"So what? That's not something I'm supposed to worry about as an injured person. Besides, this world belongs to the emperor's family, not mine's, and if someone is beaten to the capital, it is the emperor who should be worried, not me. Zhou Zhan smiled gently and elegantly.
An Nan was suddenly shocked: "It turns out that you are not very loyal to this emperor?" ”
"Who would be faithful to a man who wants to kill him at any moment? My life is precious. What kind of king wants his ministers to die, his ministers have to die, these nonsense are just fooling people, if the emperor is allowed to slaughter like a pig and a dog, it is really stupid. Zhou Zhan said mockingly.
An Nan was impressed by him, it seems that he is not very jealous of the imperial power, just right, she is also afraid of meeting a foolish and loyal cheap husband, even if she knows that the emperor wants to kill herself, she is willing to kill her. Fortunately, Zhou Zhan is not such a person, so it doesn't hurt if she tells him the back road she has prepared for herself.
A sober-minded cheap husband is better than a foolish husband, at least he won't be held back.
The attendant came in to report that the second lady had come back to visit her injured father, and Zhou Zhan nodded and let her in.
The second lady, Zhou Minqi, got her wish and married the prince of An Guo, but not as a wife, but as a concubine. The original partner of the prince of An Guo did pass away, but he remarried his wife's sister, so he broke his promise to Zhou Minqi. But his stepwife is a virtuous and generous person, knowing that her husband likes Zhou Minqi, so she specially sent a matchmaker to the door to take Zhou Minqi as a concubine.
Zhou Minqi boasted early that the prince of Anguo would come to propose to herself, but she didn't expect to wait for the news of the concubine, she lost her face, drilled the tip of the horns, and ignored the advice of the third aunt and An Nan, she had to marry the prince of Anguo and regain her glory, she decided that she was the true love of the prince......
An Nan saw that she did not listen to the persuasion and died, so she agreed, so Zhou Minqi became a concubine and was carried into the Guogong Mansion by a small sedan chair.
I heard the third aunt occasionally say that her life in the Guogong Mansion was very difficult, not only to fight with the wife, but also to compete with the concubines before the prince, she had never seen such a tragic and cruel competition in the Zhou Mansion, so she suffered several losses.
This time, she finally begged the son to go back to her parents' house, saying that she was visiting her father's injury, but in fact, she just wanted to come back and ask for some help.
"Father!" As soon as Zhou Minqi came in, she threw herself in front of Zhou Zhan, pressed her eyes with a handkerchief, looked at Zhou Zhan's tightly wrapped wound sadly and distressedly, and said sadly, "Father has suffered!" The daughter is useless and cannot share the pain for her father...... I also hope that the father will take care of his own health and not worry about us as children......"
An Nan watched her singing and expressing love and admiration for Zhou Zhan, almost goosebumps falling out, this father and daughter see each other at most twice a year, and there are no two words to say when they meet, what real feelings can they have? Zhou Minqi probably stayed in the back house of the prince of An Guo for a long time, and learned how to calculate and use everything around him to achieve his own goals.
Zhou Zhan gently patted Zhou Minqi's shoulder, and comforted her gently and kindly: "If you have a heart, you will come back to see me, but don't worry too much, I'll just recuperate from this injury." ”
The father and daughter said a few more words, Zhou Minqi hinted that she was not doing well in the Guogong Mansion, and was bullied because she had no one to support her, but Zhou Zhan didn't understand, and didn't ask her about her life deeply, only said something innocuous and insignificant.
An Nan listened to the hypocritical conversation between the two of them on the side, and almost laughed out loud, worthy of both father and daughter, both have the talent to act.
Zhou Minqi fell to the tragic point of being jealous of a group of women for a man, and being bullied, An Nan didn't sympathize with her at all, this was all her own choice, it was too late to regret it, she had to swallow all the bitter fruits by herself, and no one could help her.
Compared to her, her sister Zhou Minshu's life is very good, the second year she married Zhang Juren, Zhang Juren was admitted to the Jinshi, entered the Hanlin Academy as a petty official, and after a few years transferred to other places to do a county order, you can climb up step by step, and the future is immeasurable.
Zhou Minshu is a quiet and gentle person, with her husband Qin Se and Ming, the husband and wife support each other, and they don't know how comfortable they are. Seeing her sister's good life, I wonder if Zhou Minqi has ever regretted it?
The hypocritical father and daughter finally ended the meeting, Zhou Minqi found nothing and went back extremely disappointed, but Zhou Zhan didn't seem to see his daughter's expression of crying and wanting to speak, and it seemed that he was also a cold-hearted person.
"Aren't you going to support her?" An Nan asked.
"Life is all lived by myself, I can help her for a while, but I can't help her for a lifetime." Zhou Zhan sighed.
If her own father doesn't care, An Nan won't care about it, anyway, she has done her duty as a housemother, and Zhou Minqi will ask for more blessings in the future.
"Since you're here, then I have some spare time to go to Qinghai City to inspect the industry." An Nan said casually, in fact, she wanted to go to Qinghai to see the secret sea base she had built, and there were some things she had to see before she could make appropriate improvement arrangements.
Zhou Zhan listened, looked at her with a smile and said, "Why didn't I know that Qinghai City had your industry?" ”
An Nan's heart jumped, could it be that this person saw something? Only after knowing that Zhou Zhan was not a foolish person, An Nan didn't dare to underestimate him.
She had to pretend to be stupid and said: "I think the development of the new industry not long ago is very good, and you can make a lot of money by buying some." ”
"Madame's property has been purchased overseas, which really impresses me." Zhou Zhanyun smiled lightly.
An Nan's eyes widened suddenly, it turned out that she didn't hide anything from this man, forget it, you will know if you know, she sighed and said: "Since you know everything, then I'll say it directly, I want to go and see the newly built sea ships and newly trained seafarers in person, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will go to sea in person." ”
Zhou Zhan was a little surprised when he heard An Nan's last sentence: "It turns out that Mrs. still has such ambitions?" That husband can't lag behind, and he has to go overseas to see it, otherwise his vision will not be as good as that of his wife. ”
"......" An Nan looked at Zhou Zhan with an indescribable expression, this person was far more cheeky than she imagined, and if she didn't help at all, she was going to go to sea with her own ship.
