Chapter 51: I Don't Want to Marry a Wife
Zhou Zhengyi heard Zhou Ziyu's thoughts, was silent for a long time, and finally changed the topic:
"Ziyu, King Qin has stayed in the capital for a long time this time, and you have been following King Qin, what do you think about this matter?"
Zhou Ziyu looked at his father: "Master Li said that King Qin wants to conquer Los Angeles in the east. ”
Zhou Zhengyi's expression immediately became serious.
Yang Tong, the king of Yue in the previous dynasty, established himself as the emperor in Luocheng, and the emperor originally sent the prince to the east. The prince remembered the old, called Yang Dong's grandmother an aunt and grandmother in the past, and remembered that foreign siblings were also siblings, and he did not want to be injured and destroyed, and wanted to coexist peacefully with him with a heart of benevolence and righteousness.
Therefore, the crown prince has stayed in the capital to assist the government, and appointed the king of Qin as the vanguard stationed in the border.
If the king of Qin obtained the emperor's approval and led his troops to the east, he would inevitably expand his military power. If it can succeed smoothly, I am afraid that it will arouse the scruples of the prince.
Li Jing made good use of troops and was good at conquest.
The King of Qin has such a good general, like a tiger with wings.
When the time comes, it is not only the crown prince who cares about the king of Qin, but also the emperor.
Brothers fight, both lose.
Now you can only take one step at a time, and if you follow the wrong master, it is worse than dying under the enemy's sword.
Zhou Zhengyi has always seen the situation very accurately and analyzed it thoroughly.
Thinking about it, I can only wronged my eldest son for the time being:
"Ziyu, if the Qin Wangfu sends a letter in the past two days, I'm afraid I won't be able to go. When the time comes, you must remember every word that King Qin said accurately, and come back and tell me.
Your family affairs, just put it off for the time being. As far as I can see, King Qin is completely sure this time, and it can be said that he will move the emperor.
If there is a war, I am afraid that you will not go for a year and a half, and if it drags on for a few more years, it will not be good to delay others. ”
Zhou Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, and always felt embarrassed to talk about his family affairs with his father: "My son is not in a hurry, if he wants to go on an expedition with King Qin, there is a second brother who serves his parents at home." ”
Zhou Zhengyi looked at the relieved eldest son, patted the table lightly, propped up the chair and wanted to stand up, Zhou Ziyu hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his arm as a crutch: "Father, be careful!" ”
The father and son stand together, about the same size, but with different temperaments, one is cold and resolute, and the other is heroic.
Zhou Zhengyi looked sideways at his eldest son:
"Ziyu, you are always the eldest son and grandson of the Zhou family! Your mother has been spoiled by me, and her children are still willful like a child, so don't worry about her. ”
Zhou Ziyu stared at his feet: "My son has grown up, and he will definitely be filial to his mother." ”
Zhou Zhengyi sighed and patted his eldest son on the shoulder: "Ziyu, when you are not in the capital, I will inquire carefully for you to see whose little lady has a good temper." I will check your family affairs for you and marry you a wife who loves you wholeheartedly. ”
Zhou Ziyu still stared at the ground: "Yes, there is Lao's father." ”
Walking out of the study, Luo Qing came up to support Zhou Zhengyi.
Zhou Ziyu said goodbye to Zhou Zhengyi: "Father, my son will take someone to the Xinglin Pavilion to have a look, and I will report to you when I come back in the evening." ”
Zhou Zhengyi waved his hand: "Go, it's been delaying people's business in the past few days, let's make up for it, and you can give it to her." ”
"Yes, my son knows!" Zhou Ziyu turned around and left in a hurry with Luo Huai.
Zhou Zhengyi looked at the back of his eldest son, his posture was vigorous, his steps were light, thinking that he would be able to walk like a fly in the near future, his mood immediately became comfortable, and there was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
After walking a few steps, Zhou Zhengyi suddenly pointed to a plum tree in the corner and explained to Luo Qing: "When spring begins, the ground is thawing, shovel this tree." ”
The plum tree planted in the yard has a trunk that grows against the corner of the wall, and the higher it grows, the more crooked it is to the side, and two bamboo poles are propped up under the branches to prevent the tree from going down. The branches were hung with ice ridges, and they were deserted.
This tree is still left by the previous family, and when they moved in directly, they simply cleaned and painted the main hall, and the original furnishings were not touched.
Crooked neck tree, it's awkward to look at, why haven't you noticed it before?
Luo Qingying was: "My lord, if you shovel trees, I'm afraid that you will have to move the wall." ”
Zhou Zhengyi suddenly remembered that when he was in Zhongnan Mountain, Master Sun Shengshou liked the towering trees in front of the cave the most, and he was full of interest: "Then tear down the wall next to it, simply expand the yard and plant a few trees again." You remember to remind me. ”
Zhou Ziyao came to the study to find his father to eat, and just heard the last sentence, he immediately asked his father: "Father, do you want to repair the yard?" I've brought the flower seeds of the red mountain and planted them in the yard for you, okay? ”
Zhou Zhengyi likes this well-behaved and pleasing daughter the most, and when he saw her, he couldn't help laughing: "Yingshan red is all planted in the mountains, how can there be a yard?" ”
Zhou Ziyao really believed it: "Huh? Grandmother said that you like Yingshan red the most, so I went to the mountains to pick seeds and brought them over. I've been to the mountains several times, but my feet hurt and my hands were broken! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand from his sleeve and showed it to Zhou Zhengyi: "Father, look, there is still a seal!" ”
Zhou Zhengyi smiled: "Since you have worked so hard, when the time comes, build a rockery in your yard, and you will have a mountain to plant a red mountain." ”
Zhou Ziyao trembled on her toes, and clapped her slap and applauded: "Build a rockery for me?" All right! Father is the best! Then don't say it, Luo Qing can't say anything, otherwise the second brother will also build a rockery, which will definitely be higher than mine. ”
Zhou Zhengyi shook her head with a smile, this daughter is not afraid of heaven and earth, she is afraid that the second brother will compete with her to grab things:
"If you don't say it yourself, how will your second brother know?"
Zhou Ziyao turned around and followed behind his father, and told his maid to pick red: "You are not allowed to say it, otherwise you will be punished for not having food." ”
Mrs. Zhou greeted her from the restaurant: "Master, Yaoyao is naughty with you again?" ”
Chen Ziying curtsied by the door: "Cousin! ”
Zhou Zhengyi glanced at this niece, Chen Ziying was born with clear eyebrows, well-behaved and gentle, and the age of fifteen is also suitable for the eldest son. Not only is it close to each other, but there is no need to worry about Yao'er being aunted and sister-in-law. It's a pity that the eldest son has no intention of marrying a wife, and in the event of a war, such a good little lady can only call herself a cousin.
Entering the restaurant, the second son was not there: "Where is Zimao?" ”
Zhou Ziyao followed up and picked up the conversation: "The second brother went out with his classmates again, saying that there was a poetry club." ”
Mrs. Zhou waved away the servant woman, stepped forward to personally serve Zhou Zhengyi to wipe her hands and drink tea, and clothed the vegetables with her own hands: "Master, this is a native product of Mrs. Ma's hometown, called wind meat, marinated a little salty, I asked the cook to use bamboo shoots and dried old hens to stew together for two quarters of an hour, the taste is just right, you can taste it." ”
Nothing to do, which one is this singing?
Zhou Zhengyi was silent.
Mrs. Zhou soon couldn't hold her breath and took the initiative to mention: "Master, it will be Yaoyao's birthday in a few days, and I want to celebrate her birthday at home."
At this lantern festival, Yaoyao met a lot of little ladies, and several little ladies invited her to be guests.
I thought, why don't you hold a birthday party for Yaoyao and invite her new little sisters over. ”
Zhou Zhengyi put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, looked at his daughter's face full of expressions of "you are about to agree", and shook his head:
"I'm going to take Ziyu out tomorrow, and I'm going to go for a few days, and I may not be able to catch Yao'er's birthday."
