107 Greed (Three Watches
"People's suffering is often pretending to be content with the status quo, but in fact, this mountain looks at that mountain, why not face greed frankly, this is not a shameful thing."
Wenxian Villa Linfeng Xuan, Qianye is sitting in it, the plain long skirt is spread out layer by layer like lotus petals, the breeze blows, the fairy robe is fluttering, there is no impetuousness in late summer and early autumn here, the heaven and earth are clear and pure, she poured tea and sent it to Mr. Wen, and Mr. Wen took this passage as a thank you gift.
"Greed?" Chiba read the word softly, thinking of the topic that he and Joyama couldn't finish last night, I don't know why, once they mentioned that they were far away from the capital, there would be disagreements and contradictions, and Chiba thought that he had already put everything aside, and it was Joyama who shouldered too much.
"The younger generation always thinks that Joyama is a greedy person, but I don't know what he is greedy for." Chiba fiddled with the tea in his hand and lowered his eyes, "Last night, I talked about staying away from the capital and pursuing the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and I saw the hesitation between Dingshan's eyebrows very really, Mr. Wen, I think in this matter, I am contrary to Dingshan's wishes." โ
The topic that she couldn't finish last night made Chiba Terrier in her heart, naturally not angry Dingshan's indecision, but she also felt that she had a knot in her heart that could not be untied, she personally sent Tuan Tuan to school, asked to see Mr. Wen, regarded him as an elder like a grandfather, and was willing to confide in her heart.
Mr. Wen said, "Did the princess really let go of everything? โ
Chiba bowed slightly, and there was no reluctance in his eyes: "Now everything I have is in the Divine Mountain Marquis Mansion, and I have nothing to do with the imperial family, and I have not made friends with anyone for many years, so I can naturally let go of anything." โ
Mr. Wen slowly touched his snow-white long beard and said slowly: "The princess is the descendant of the Ji dynasty, and the dynasty is no longer important to the princess?" โ
Chiba smiled: "However, the current emperor is my uncle, the fourth prince Xiangtai, who is the real heir." โ
The old gentleman shook his head: "The stars are disordered, the demons are in charge, princess, the Ji dynasty is in danger, are you really willing to give up everything and return to the mountains and forests?" โ
When Mr. Wen mentioned these words to Dingshan and Zhuo Xi that day, Chiba was not on the side, but when she heard it today, she couldn't help but feel a tightening heart, didn't she let it go, but when she heard that the Ji Dynasty was in danger, why was she so nervous?
Mr. Wen sighed: "In the past, the prince personally conquered the northwest, in order to sweep the barbarian country and protect the territory for a long time. โ
Chiba's heart trembled, she vaguely felt that Mr. Wen had respect for his father, even if there was so much age difference, his father was completely a junior in front of him, but the old man still had great respect for his father. And he seems to hope that he can inherit his father's legacy, but doesn't the old gentleman understand that she is just a woman?
Mr. Wen regained his calm expression and said to Chiba: "The princess thinks that she will let go of everything, but everything is not yet in front of you, and one day you will understand that it is not only the mountain that is greedy, but also the princess." After all, this is not the time to stay away from the capital, maybe the day when she really leaves, the princess will naturally understand. โ
Chiba bowed and said, "Sir's words, I wrote them down." โ
Mr. Wen took a piece of dim sum to eat, soft and sweet, not sticky or greasy, seeing him smile, Chiba said: "Erniang is grateful to Mr. Mengli for teaching Mengli, these snacks are made by Erniang himself, if Mr. likes it, I will often send it in the future." I won't bother you today, the family will come to pick up Mengli home before sunset, and the younger generation will say goodbye first. โ
Mr. Wen smiled silently, seeing that Chiba slowly got up, his dignified posture was like the former crown princess, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said when Chiba turned around: "The Fourth Highness is kind-hearted and talented, even so, without the courage of the emperor, he can't force it." โ
Chiba turned his back and couldn't help frowning, if Xiangtai was not qualified to be the emperor, who should do it? Mr. said that the Ji dynasty was in danger, is it really as rumored, the Han family is called to change the dynasty, and the Han family ......
"Juniors say goodbye." Chiba didn't ask after all, and flew away.
The carriage home was bumpy all the way, and Mr. Wen's words were entangled in his heart, and Chiba was here to answer his questions, but he didn't want to make a lot of incomprehensible thoughts. She had already clearly said to Dingshan that everything in the palace had nothing to do with her, but what could never be changed was that she had the purest blood of the Ji Dynasty flowing in her body.
When she returned home, Joyama had just changed out of her court clothes and was about to go out on errands, and when she saw Chiba coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her get out of the car with her own hands. Although there was no conflict last night, no one spoke later, and in the morning Chiba pretended to be asleep and ignored him, after all, they had untied knots in each other's hearts.
"Last night's incident, we'll continue when I get back." Joyama Road.
Chiba shook his head: "There's nothing more to say, I listen to you, we have to have someone to give into, no matter how you count, those things should be me from you." She stretched out her hand to straighten the placket of Dingshan's clothes, and said gently, "It's not good to blame me, it's upset you, I won't mention leaving the capital in the future, it's really that day, let's go, and what trivial things can't be left behind." โ
"You know, I don't want you to be wronged." Joyama Road.
"I'm not wronged, I'm enlightened." Chiba smiled and urged Dingshan to go on the horse to do something, "It was Mr. Wen who pointed out my thoughts, you should always allow me, there are also things that I can't figure out." โ
Dingshan couldn't guess what the old and young said, but he couldn't stay at the moment, so he talked to Chiba more carefully at night, and it didn't take long to ride away. Chiba watched the dust disperse and the figure disappeared, and then turned to go home, only to find that the guards in front of the house were more tightly arranged than a few days ago, knowing that Dingshan and Chu Ge were not casually bluffing them, so they hurried home and no longer went out easily.
And on this day, not long after Chiba left Wenxian Villa, Zhuo Xi accompanied Xiangtai from the palace. The emperor didn't pay much attention to his son for two days, even ignoring his existence at the court meeting, and Xiangtai himself avoided Concubine Fang Guifei and did not enter the inner palace.
Xiangtai chatted with Mr. Xiang for more than an hour about astronomy and geography, without mentioning politics and economy, and after the master and apprentice were dispersed, he wandered around the villa, and told the boy that he would stay for a few days before leaving. And Zhuo Xi was still by Mr. Wen's side, mentioning that the princess came to visit today, Mr. Wen said to Zhuo Xi: "The princess is not yet enlightened, she is the daughter of the prince and the princess, she is born different from the world, and the current court is turbulent, and it may set off storms at any time, so be careful." โ
Zhuo Xi's expression was solemn, he had already sensed the master's intentions, and finally asked at this moment: "Master, does the Fourth Highness have no imperial qualifications?" โ
Mr. Wen shook his head and sighed: "Only God knows, the old man is just his own opinion, if he can really pinch it, he will definitely protect the prince back then." โ
On this side, Xiangtai wandered around the villa in a low mood, and recently he felt more and more that he and his father and mother had become unable to get close, and it was naturally easy to be a obedient and obedient son in the past, but now that he began to have his own ideas, it was not so simple. Obedience is an increasingly difficult thing for him.
was walking on the flower path, and saw the first few children coming slowly, among which the delicate and lovely Liang Mengli, he had seen in the Shenshan Hou Mansion, the lively and lovely child was holding the book and walking slowly. When she saw Xiangtai here with the others, she didn't remember that she had seen the fourth prince, but she was afraid that she would be unruly and would be beaten again, so she didn't take another look.
Instead, Xiangtai called her: "Are you Tuan Tuan?" โ
Everyone stopped, and Xiangtai said to a few scholars who were serving the book: "I'll send her back in a while." โ
Tuan Tuan was left behind, and when he saw the others walking away, the little guy was relieved, and he sighed, and looked at Xiangtai timidly, as if he had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it, she bowed in a good way, and said, "Senior brother is polite." โ
Xiangtai has no younger siblings, knowing that this is the sister-in-law of the imperial sister, she naturally likes it more than other people's children, and this is Liang Huili's sister, so she has to look at it differently. He hurriedly squatted down and asked with a smile, "Are you tired and hungry?" โ
Tuan Tuan pouted, shook his head, looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun was not yet going to the west, so he knew that it was not yet time for his family to pick him up, and said delicately: "I'm not tired, I'll be scolded if I say I'm tired, and I'm not hungry." โ
The teaching in the villa is very strict, especially when he is a young beginner, Xiangtai has already enlightened himself when he entered the school as a prince, and he can restrain himself, so naturally there will be no such troubles, but this little doll must be naughty at home, and naturally can't stand this stereotypical rule.
Xiangtai introduced himself: "I am the younger brother of your sister-in-law, do you know who I am?" โ โณโงโณโง๏ผ
Tuan Tuan is a smart child, of course he will remember what his family has taught, oh and said: "You are the prince of the palace, I remember, last time you came to our house, you hid in the house and didn't see anyone." โ
Xiangtai smiled: "It's good to remember, then I'll ask you again, are you tired, are you hungry?" โ
Tuan Tuan frowned, looked at him very seriously, shook his head in the end, and said, "I'm not hungry or tired, senior brother, can you send me back, or I'll leave by myself." โ
Xiangtai was stunned, he didn't expect that such a young child would also know how to restrain herself, and the daughter of the Liang family was really unusual.
But Tuan Tuan was only so sensible because he was unfamiliar with Xiangtai, and it didn't take long to see Zhuo Xi walking here, he naturally came to find the Four Princes, so he happened to meet Tuan Tuan. And the little girl immediately threw away the rules of the lower talents, jumped up and ran to Zhuo Xi, hugged him and coquettishly said, "Brother Zhuo Xi, why haven't they come to take me home?" โ
Xiangtai realized that he was thinking too much, and the child was a child in the end.
The two sent Tuan Tuan back to the classroom together, Tuan Tuan saw that Xiangtai was really an acquaintance at home, and gradually let down his guard, after she returned to the class, Zhuo Xi and Xiangtai continued to walk in the villa, mentioning that Jinzhu arranged those assassins, Xiangtai seemed to disagree, his mind has been worried about Hui Li, so he decided to tell Zhuo Xi today.
