Jiang Yuanchen heard that his mother was pregnant early in the morning, and after finishing his exercises in the morning, he hurried to Qiushui Courtyard, saw his sister walking with his mother, and stepped forward to greet his mother.

Gu carefully wiped the sweat on his forehead for his son, and said angrily: "Look at the sweat on your head, you don't wash it after you finish practicing, how can your subordinates wait?" ”

Jiang Yuanchen sneered: "My son is thinking about his mother, and he can't wait to come over earlier, how can he have that thought." The son congratulated his mother. ”

Gu smiled: "What do you like? I just ask God not to give me a leather monkey again, and I will be Amitabha. ”

The three of them talked and laughed, helped Gu into the room to rest, and the two laughed in front of their mother for a while, and when they saw that their mother's face was tired, they cleverly retreated.

As soon as he got out of the hospital, Jiang Yuanchen looked at Xin Yao fixedly, and didn't say a word.

Jiang Xinyao figured out the deep meaning and knew that he had something to say, so she smiled and said, "Brother, my sister has a few good books over there, do you want to take them and read them?" ”

These words were right in his heart, Jiang Yuanchen didn't say much, and followed Jiang Xinyao into Tingfeng Xuan.

The two had just sat down in Xin Yao's study, and before the maid's tea was served, they heard Jiang Yuanchen say: "Sister, yesterday I heard that my grandmother forced my mother to invite herself to go to court, if it weren't for my mother fainting, I wouldn't have stopped there, but is there such a thing?" ”

Jiang Xinyao nodded and said, "Brother, there is such a thing." My sister is about to share with you. ”

Jiang Yuanchen smashed his fist angrily on the plum blossom table, and the pear blossom wood tablelet almost fell apart. only frightened the warbler who had just lifted the curtain and entered the door.

Xin Yao personally brought the tea to Yuan Chen, and waved her hand to signal Ying to return outside. She looked down at her brother's face and laughed coldly.

The third sister fell into the water, not as aggrieved as she said. It was she who deliberately spoke ill of her first, and the second sister didn't hold back before she moved. In my opinion, although the third sister is more pampered on weekdays, she will never say such hurtful words, I am afraid that it is premeditated. The ultimate goal is not the second sister, but the mother. The intention is very simple, she wants Aunt Zhou to be right, she is the third lady of Jiang Mansion. ”

"Sister, why don't you demolish her to your face? How can a mother be wronged so much? Jiang Yuanchen gritted his teeth and said.

"Brother. Do you say that grandmother believes in her, or does she believe me. Just like my brother and me, do you believe me? Or do you believe in the third sister? That's why I didn't say it. ”

Jiang Yuanchen hated: "Mother has retreated, they have been forced to work hard again and again, sister, I will look for them." ”

"Looking?" Jiang Xinyao sneered, and her voice rose a few points.

"Now we have to retreat. The old lady has the final say in this family, because she earned this family business. She said you are fragrant, you are fragrant, she said you are smelly, you are smelly, uncle. Father doesn't dare to contradict the old lady, you go, what's the use! ”

Jiang Yuanchen was so angry that his eyebrows stood upside down: "But everything must be reasonable, my sister just watched the third sister turn black and white upside down, and watched her mother be wronged?" ”

Jiang Xinyao was silent for a long time, and sighed: "It is true that I can only watch, and my mother's grievances must be endured." ”

"Sister!"

Xin Yao shook her head. He said with a solemn expression: "Now we are in a weak position, so we can only endure this breath for the time being, and then slowly try to figure it out in the future." The younger brother is a boy, a real man, and it doesn't matter if he's been beaten down; Important. When you get up, can you give your opponent a heavy punch until he has no chance of turning over? ”

"Sister, I will study hard and practice. I will earn a share of the family business for you, and no one will bully you and your mother in the future. Jiang Yuanchen's sword eyebrows were raised angrily.

"Brother, you have said this three times, my sister believes in you, sooner or later, you can do it. But right now, I have something I want to tell you, I want to take my mother back to the old house to give birth and give birth. ”

"Sister, how can that work? Then I won't be able to see my mother? ”

Jiang Xinyao said in a deep voice: "Jiang Yuanchen, are you willing not to see your mother for the rest of your life, or you are willing not to see your mother for the time being, you can choose for yourself." ”

Jiang Yuanchen hurriedly said: "What do you mean by this, sister?" ”

"If you can't even get around this bend, what are you going to talk about protecting us?"

"Sister, you mean...... Sister, they dare to see how I kill her? Jiang Yuanchen said indignantly.

In the end, he is a rich and noble son with fine clothes and fine food, he has never suffered a little since he was a child, he has suffered a little grievance, and his heart is still a little impetuous. Jiang Xinyao sighed slightly.

"Younger brother, Sun Tzu has a cloud in the Art of War: 'Go up to the army to fight, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and then attack the city.' What does that mean? ”

Jiang Yuanchen said: "It means that if you want to win, the most clever thing is to use strategy, followed by breaking up the enemy's diplomatic alliance, then directly engaging the enemy, and the next strategy is to attack the enemy's city." ”

Jiang Xinyao sneered: "Tell me, what is your strategy for using troops. ”

Jiang Yuanchen lowered his head and said shyly: "Last." ”

Jiang Xinyao said: "The art of war is also cloudy, 'make good use of soldiers, surrender people's losses instead of fighting, pull out people's cities instead of attacking them, destroy people's countries instead of long-term ones, this method of merit." 'What's the explanation?' ”

Jiang Yuanchen said: "A person who is good at fighting a war with soldiers can make the enemy submit without relying on the confrontation, pull out the enemy's cities without relying on a strong attack, and destroy the enemy's country without having to protracted a long time, this is the strategy. ”

Jiang Xinyao said: "A smart person will exchange the minimum price for the greatest victory, and a reckless man will exchange the greatest price for the smallest victory, brother, what kind of person do you want to be?" ”

Jiang Yuanchen said indignantly: "Naturally, be a smart person!" ”

Xin Yao said again: "The art of war is cloudy: 'The invincible, guard; The victor is also attacked. 'Do you think you can attack or defend now?' ”

Jiang Yuanchen blushed and didn't want to speak!

Jiang Xinyao straightened up and walked in front of Jiang Yuanchen's eyes, the chill in her eyes growing.

"Jiang Yuanchen, the Four Books and Five Classics teach you to Qi family, self-cultivation, governing the country, and leveling the world, which is the foundation of a scholar; If you want to be invincible, you need to learn more strategy, which is like an unarmed scholar, with the sharpest spear and the strongest shield, to be invincible. As small as the struggle between our grandmother and aunt in the house, to the struggle between the parties in the court, and even the struggle between the kings of a country, it is the same. If you want to destroy, you have to have the ability to destroy, don't kill you before you do it, people will destroy you, do you understand? ”

Jiang Yuanchen's heart was shocked, and he stared at Xin Yao for a long time without speaking. Is this the delicate, ruffian sister? Why did he feel scared?

"Brother, behave in the world, be harmonious, and forbearance. If you are no longer in harmony, when you can't bear it, don't take it lightly, do you know why? Jiang Xinyao looked at Jiang Yuanchen's expression exactly in her eyes and sneered.

"Why?"

"The method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five to attack it, and if it is multiplied, it will be divided, and if it is not, it can be avoided."

The star-bright eyes looked directly at the young man in front of him, and the young man's heart swelled with strangeness, and he couldn't help but tense up.

"When the enemy is strong and I am weak, my sister likes to avoid it, and when the enemy is weak and I am strong, my sister likes to surround it with ten times the force, the army is overwhelming, and the black crows are a lot, where can I escape? It's just a plaything in your hand, let him live, he will live, let him die, he has to die, it is a happy thing in life. The smile in Jiang Xinyao's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Jiang Yuanchen shuddered suddenly, is the woman in front of him who was like a peach blossom really the fourth sister who was once sick and weak? What has her grandfather taught her over the years?

The siblings looked at each other for a long time. Jiang Yuanchen finally turned his face away and said solemnly: "Sister, I listen to you, what you say is what you say." ”

Jiang Xinyao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good brother, there is something now, my sister wants to ask you to help me do it, you come here." ”

……

Since the second wife was rumored to be pregnant, the Jiang Mansion was calm. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the houses are deep and simple, and the people are holding their breath and watching around.

The old lady couldn't bear the heat, and a few days ago she took Mama Qian and other servants to Yunyan Temple to escape the heat, cultivate, and eat fasting, saying that she was going to live for ten days and half a month, which was not a thing in previous years.

As soon as the old lady left, there were a few things in the house that said they were big or small.

There was a maid named Shu'er in the second lady's room, and it is said that she stole a golden hairpin from the second lady, and she was dirty, so she was taken by the second lady, given to the grandmother, and sent out.

At the same time, two little maids were also sent out in the courtyard of the fourth lady.

On that day, the third master returned the book to the fourth lady, and sat in the study for a while, and the two little maids took the initiative to wait beside them, but they accidentally broke the tea cup, stained the ancient books in the third master's hand, and were directly beaten out by the third master.

The maid who was in charge of flowers and plants in the garden, someone in the family proposed marriage, and the mother begged the grandmother, returned the deed of sale, and took it back.

Yinggui asked her grandmother for two days off, saying that she hadn't seen her brother for a long time and wanted to go back to her hometown to see it. Shen Ying generously rewarded one or two pieces of silver, and only said that he would come back on time.

Jiang Xinyao was grounded to listen to Fengxuan, and copied the female commandments every day, and she was calm.

Due to the hot weather, the dishes in Jiang's house were greasy, his appetite was lost, he didn't think about tea and rice, and he was getting thinner and thinner, and Jiang Hongsheng was distressed.

When the eldest grandmother heard the news, she used the money of the public to set up a small kitchen for the second wife, pointed out two beautiful cooks to come over, and the second wife paid for the ingredients herself.

These two cooks have some real skills, and the dishes they cook are light and refreshing, which is very suitable for Gu's taste. Gu's heart was grateful, and he specially gave the eldest grandmother a pair of red jade bead crested hairpins to show his gratitude.

On this day, Gu wanted to drink winter melon and bamboo shoot soup, and Li's mother was busy ordering the small kitchen to prepare. At noon, Gu was about to eat, and when he saw the father and son coming in one after another, he hurriedly beckoned Li's mother to add two pairs of dishes and chopsticks.

Jiang Yuanchen saw that the soup of winter melon and bamboo shoots was quite tempting, so he asked Li's mother to serve a bowl to relieve fatigue. Mother Li served it to him attentively and said with a smile: "Third master, taste it, this soup has been stewed with an old hen all morning." ”

Jiang Yuanchen took a bowl of stomach and nodded and said it was delicious. Gu Shi was not hungry because he had just used dim sum, so he waited for the father and son to eat first.

Unexpectedly, when the father and son were feasting, Jiang Yuanchen suddenly held his stomach and cried out in pain, and then fell to the ground, unable to wake up. (..)
