Chapter 63: The Housewife Who Teaches Her Children (2)
Zhou Rui's father, Zhou Zhan, the husband of the original owner, was a military general, and he was his loyal subordinate when he was still the prince today, and helped a lot when he was competing for the throne, so he can be regarded as the emperor's confidant, so after the emperor ascended the throne, Zhou Zhan rose all the way to become the general of Zhenguo with an army of 400,000 troops in the northwest.
It's just that twenty or thirty years have passed, and the prince who is struggling to survive has become a suspicious and fickle emperor, and he will begin to wonder whether his already high-ranking and powerful subordinates are still loyal to him, especially the generals who have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, if they have the idea of rebellion, will their throne still sit firmly?
So the current emperor has done what every emperor will do - began to get rid of the meritorious heroes who are higher than the master, among which the high-ranking generals who were killed with various crimes, three of the five have gone, and among the remaining two, one has suffered a stroke due to old age and frailty, and the descendants are all wine bags and rice barrels, and there is no one who can succeed him, and the military power in his hands was divided up by the people sent by the emperor as a matter of course, so the family was finally preserved.
And the other intact is Zhou Zhan, his beast instinct may have made him perceive something, after the old general had a stroke, he immediately returned the military power to the emperor, and then pretended to be stimulated by the old general to go to a Taoist temple to practice, found many Taoist priests to alchemy, wanted to live forever, and said that he was the first to test the elixir for the emperor, if his elixir was refined, the first one would be dedicated to the emperor.
Seeing that he was so knowledgeable and successfully divided his subordinates in the army, the emperor really didn't attack him again, and saw that he really offered some "health-invigorating" pills from time to time, so he generously reserved the title of Zhenguo General for him, but the general without soldiers was just a nice name.
The last general was no longer a threat, and the emperor stopped staring at him, so the Zhou family survived.
Zhou Zhan just ran to alchemy with both hands, he didn't care about anything at home, he only handed it over to the original body, the original owner was born in a literati family, he had some knowledge, and probably understood some of the truth of "flying birds are good bows and hidden bows, and cunning rabbits are dead lackeys to cook", and understood the reason why Zhou Zhan was so obscure, so he had no expectations for his husband, and only hoped that his son would get ahead, abandon martial arts and follow literature, and become a civil servant who would not be feared by the emperor in the future.
Zhou Rui carried the expectations of the original owner, so he was forced to study and progress since he was a child, and in order to completely cut off his path from martial arts, he was not allowed to dance with a knife and a gun.
The original owner spent a lot of effort to train his son to be the champion and let him be admitted to the office, Zhou Rui did not live up to her expectations, he read well, and he really took the exam, the original owner was ecstatic, and he paid more attention to his son's studies, and he didn't let him do anything every day except let his son study.
Zhou Rui was forced to breathe by her, and one day he finally sneaked out of the door to relax, and this dispersion was scattered to the Qinglou and met the Oiran Red Dress.
So he lacked his father's teaching since he was a child, and was forced by his mother to become a nerd who could only read, and the eldest young master with pure feelings was immediately fascinated by the superb Oiran, and he was desperate to marry this beautiful woman who was "pitiful", "red-faced", "innocent and kind" and loved her.
When the original owner learned that his son with high hopes was going to marry a prostitute in a Qinglou, he was so angry that he fainted, and naturally it was impossible to agree to this shocking thing, so he categorically rejected Zhou Rui's request and tried his best to separate the two.
But this only inspired Zhou Rui's rebellious psychology, he had to stop marrying in red clothes, and quarreled with the original body every day just for this matter, and he didn't even read books, and the whole person was deserted.
The original owner had no choice but to compromise and take a step back, he couldn't let his son marry Hongshang, but he could redeem her as a concubine, Zhou Rui made trouble for so long, in order to marry his beloved woman home earlier, he also agreed, thinking that if he only accepted her alone, and did not marry a wife, it would not be considered to live up to his beloved.
After Hongshang entered the house, he didn't expect that Zhou Rui not only did not recover his past diligence and study hard, but was hooked into messing around in the yard all day long, and gradually became a degenerate man who was arrogant and lascivious and had no enterprising spirit.
The original owner suddenly became angry, and personally grabbed his son to study in the study, forcing him to improve, but Zhou Rui had lost his original pure heart, and he could no longer calm down to read and write, so he naturally refused to face dry and tasteless books anymore.
How can boring books be as good as fresh and beautiful women? After learning to have fun, he can no longer endure the hard and boring study of reading, and Zhou Rui, who was led by the red dress, was immersed in the wind and snow, and left his mother's ardent expectations behind.
A few years later, Zhou Rui, who had a promising future and was young and promising, degenerated into a drunken and dreamy and plaything.
The only son who has high hopes is not talented, and her husband has also avoided the world and went to the Taoist temple to alchemy, the only two people to rely on are unreliable, and the son is the same as the enemy under the intentional provocation of the red dress; The husband has the same as not; And the grandson is still far away...... The sad and desperate original owner ended up depressed.
She didn't understand why her son, who had been carefully taught, was easily fascinated by a prostitute in a green mansion and lost his mind, and finally turned against herself, was there something wrong with her teaching method? Is the reason why her son can't stand the temptation so much? Shouldn't she have restrained him too tightly, so that it backfires and makes him rebellious?
When the original owner died, he was still thinking about these questions, reflecting on whether he really had no way to teach his son.
After An Nan read her memory, she didn't think that Zhou Rui would degenerate into such a fault that her education method was wrong, her teaching only accounted for a small part of it, and the other part was of course Zhou Rui's own reasons.
Zhou Rui came from a very good background, and he was taught to be ignorant of the world and only read, so he would be easily deceived, which is not to blame him, but he will fall so completely, but because he is not strong in willpower, indulged in pleasure and cannot extricate himself, and in the end he naturally does not want to be sober, because in this way he can escape the boring and hard work of reading, and he can not bear his mother's ardent expectations.
All in all, he's an escapist coward.
Now it is time for Zhou Rui to rebel against the original owner for the third time in order to marry Hongsheng, and roar angrily at the original owner, the mother and son broke up unhappily, but fortunately, the original owner has not agreed to let Hongshang enter the mansion, and the matter is still resolved, An Nan has already figured out how to treat this cheap son who is too naïve.
