243 Secrets
Chen Zeyi and Chen Guangrong returned to their small territory, covering an area of about 100 acres of barren land halfway up the mountain, which was smaller than Chen Xiansong's territory, not so much a territory as a manor. But even so, it is not bad, many small nobles have empty titles, except for a house, but not even an acre of their own land.
After taking a sip of the water sent by the servant, Chen Guangrong said nonchalantly: "The man didn't speak, that Bai Qianxin actually took the initiative to serve the wine and give the order to evict the guest, Chen Xiansong, the little lord, is too bad, in the end, he is the master, or that Bai Qianxin is the master, it is useless, it is my ......."
"In other words, it was you, who hadn't approached Bai Qianxin yet, and was killed by her as soon as she had the idea of lust." Chen Zeyi sneered: "Although I have never been married, I see people very accurately, whether it is Bai Qianxin or Bai Min, it is completely centered on Chen Xiansong, even if they make any decisions without authorization, they must also start from the interests of Chen Xiansong, if our Chen family has such a first-class housewife with ability and loyalty, not to mention prosperity, at least it can ensure the safety of our Chen family for decades." ”
Chen Guangrong muttered: "It's not that kid's luck that looks like a little white face, of course it's easy to attract women." ”
"You're kind of a little white face." Chen Zeyi sat down, poured himself a glass of fruit wine, and said, "But I've never seen you make a water wheel, never seen you make out-of-season vegetables, and never seen you make a recipe for making salt." If our family has a recipe for making salt, even if we rob it, we have to grab a few salt mountains and come back, why did Chen Xiansong be born in the Chen family in Heluo. ”
"I, I'm not a soul-thinker." Chen Guangrong retorted angrily.
"You also know that he is a soul thinker, even if it is a little white face, he is also a little white face with the identity of a soul thinker, even if you are the son of the eldest brother. Even if you are likely to become the head of the family in the future, you will always be inferior to him in front of him, unless you can become a king, or become a person with real power in the court. ”
Chen Guangrong was speechless, his heart was sullen, he thought for a while and said: "Sixth uncle, why do we have to agree to him such outrageous conditions and fully support him, doesn't that mean that our family will always be his subordinate family in the future." We managed to jump out of the pit on the other side of Heluo hundreds of years ago, and now we have to jump back on our own. ”
"The Chen family in the world came out of Heluo, five hundred years ago, it was originally a family, and if it jumped out, why not jump back again." Chen Zeyi snorted. "Besides, you'll be sure we're jumping back." Do they dare to take it all? ”
He smiled like a viper. Chen Zeyi said: "You are very likely to be the head of the family in the future, you remember it to me, everything in the family is based on interests, there is no problem in letting go of personal honor and disgrace for the time being, the family is strong, and it is easy to find it back." The family is not strong, and no matter how hard your backbone is, someone will break it. ”
Chen Guangrong was silent, he looked at the sixth uncle's somewhat wrinkled face, for a long time. He had always had a question, and now he couldn't help but ask: "Sixth uncle, why do you want to be so good to me, even my father thinks that I am a gentleman, and the mud can't support the wall, so he puts his mind on the younger brother." Everyone is not optimistic about me, why do you think I can be the head of the house in the future. ”
Chen Zeyi looked at the layers of ripples in his wine glass, and there seemed to be some kind of fragrance coming from the tip of his nose, a fragrance that he could never forget in his life, and after a while, he seemed to wake up slowly from a dream, and said in a noisy and hoarse voice: "Because I see you pleasing to the eye." ”
The relationship between people is very strange, and the word pleasing to the eye is the best explanation. However, there are some exceptions, Alice always looks at Chen Xiansong unpleasantly, and often sneers, but today she is very happy, and it is rare to praise Chen Xiansong in front of others, the reason is very simple, she has a five-iron satin brocade on her bed.
Except for the two cyborgs, almost all the women in the other families were present, and all the women looked at the beautiful silk on the bed like a rainbow with their eyes shining. The little one wanted to go up and touch it twice, but was dragged back by her mother Catherine, and scolded: "Don't touch it, what if it gets dirty?" ”
The little guy looked at his hands, they were as white as milk, how could they be dirty. She couldn't help but pout, and when she was about to speak, she looked at the people around her, and then calculated carefully, and then she frowned: "Sister Alice, a silk horse can make up to four clothes, but there are six people in our family, what should we do?" ”
This question suddenly made the other three women on the scene stumped, getting a dress made of five-color satin brocade is almost the dream of most women, but also the dream of Western women, and now there is a silk in front of them, insisting that they don't like it and giving it to others, the three of them are a little reluctant. Seeing this, the little guy smiled slyly and said, "I'll go to the teacher to solve this problem." Then he ran downstairs with a puff of smoke.
At this time, Chen Xiansong was chatting with Bai Qianxin, about the question raised by Chen Zeyi just now.
"When I used to wander around the Aurora Kingdom, I did have some friendship with the Heluo Chen family." Bai Qianxin sat next to Chen Xiansong a little, put his pocket on the young man's shoulder, and said nostalgically: "At that time, I was born not long after the relationship, and I didn't know how to refuse the kindness of others, so I accepted a little guy surnamed Chen as a student, and then I don't know if the Dao is a coincidence of fate, or the temple is deliberate, every twenty or thirty years, I will be sent to the Aurora Kingdom to do some bloody tasks, every then, I will go to Heluo Chen's house to pick a child to teach for a few months, and over time, My status in the Chen family seems to have become very high. ”
"So just now Chen Zeyi regarded me as a member of the Heluo Chen family, and you want to make this misunderstanding a fact?" Chen Xiansong asked.
Bai Qianxin nodded: "Well, after all, it is a family that I have always taken care of, and I can't give it up." ”
Chen Xiansong expressed his understanding that when he has feelings, it is indeed unforgettable to meet someone who is kind to him, which is normal.
"But don't get me wrong, my feelings for them are not love or affection." Bai Qian's heart fell on Chen Xiansong's shoulder, and exhaled like an orchid: "It's similar to an emotion of liking pets, after all, at that time, I also treated those humans as close relatives of chimpanzees." ”
Chen Xiansong doesn't have that ability yet, so naturally he won't think too much about these problems. Instead, he remembered a very important thing and asked, "Sister Qianxin, since you used to walk around the Aurora Kingdom in the past, do you know that there is a big family surnamed 'Liang' in Ludao Heluo. ”
Bai Qianxin nodded: "Zhilu Dao, the Liang family has a hobby of collecting the world's treasures, and the Chen family is a bit of a feud, and it is difficult for the photo device to come back if it falls into their hands for the time being, and they are not short of money." I think it's better not to be in such a hurry. The Liang family has an inexplicable relationship with the royal family, and they control a lot of scholars in their hands, and they have military power, I join forces with Xiaomin, maybe they can be greatly damaged, but the royal family behind them is not easy to deal with, wait for three or four years, wait for our strength to be stronger, and then have something to do with the Heluo Chen family, and then make a decision depending on the situation. ”
Chen Xiansong thought about it for a while,
"If it were an ordinary small country, I could have bullied them under the pretense of the prestige of the Sun Temple and let them hand over their things, but the Kingdom of Aurora is a little different." Bai Qianxin smiled: "The people in that place are very strange, they call the soul contemplative scholars scholars, and they are self-contained, they are very repulsive to theocracy, and it is difficult for the belief in the Sun Temple to develop there." The key is that the sage Yan more than 2,000 years ago said: Zi Bu is silent, strange and confused, do you sound familiar with this sentence? ”
"Analects?"
Bai Qianxin nodded and said: "I don't know what the origin of that Yan Sage of the Dao is, he seems to know a lot of knowledge before the twenty-first century, and those knowledges are not even clear to the Sun Temple, only people like you and me, Xiao Min, who really belong to the twenty-second century, know a little bit about the Dao." However, the 'son' in his mouth is a scholar, not Confucius. ”
Hearing such a secret news, Chen Xiansong became a little interested: "Sister Qianxin, what's next?" ”
"If my chip memory is not wrong, history records that he was able to speak in June, was literate at the age of one, stood at the gate of the palace at the age of three and shouted, the world was drunk and I woke up alone, and the emperor of the Aurora Kingdom almost visited him as an immortal. Then he was silent for several years, at the age of ten he wrote the enlightenment masterpiece "Three Character Classic" to amaze the world again, at the age of twelve he wrote "Etiquette", and then traveled in the Kingdom of Aurora, collecting 72 people, spreading his thoughts, and everyone who heard him respected him as a saint. ”
Chen Xiansong opened his mouth wide: "Isn't this the style of Sage Kong?" ”
"It's true, in his etiquette, there is a great resistance to divine power, and this matter has aroused the vigilance of both the Sun Temple and the Dragon Clan, because similar things have happened before, so they plan to kill a group of people according to the old method, and then Huairou a group of people." Bai Qianxin smiled faintly, revealing a nostalgic emotion: "I also participated in those wars, we have been winning from beginning to end, our combined army with the Dragon Clan entered from the border of the Aurora Kingdom, and when we were about to fight to the palace, we found that in fact, we were going to lose." We don't know what Lu Dao will lose, at that time there were more than 2,000 people in the Sun Temple, but only about 800 people remained, and more than half of the population of the dragon clan died. However, the sacrifice of the Aurora Kingdom is also very large, there are countless soldiers and civilians killed and wounded, it is estimated that there are nearly a million people, Yan Shengren himself is full of gray hair at the age of thirty, and his children are seventy-two, and only nine are left. ”
Bai Qianxin sighed: "Then the two sides have a tacit understanding that they have taken a step back, the Aurora Kingdom ostensibly recognizes the supremacy of the Sun Temple, and we can't interfere in their political affairs. Then the two sides worked hard to bury this period of history, and after more than 2,000 years, only a small number of people knew about it, and of course, the common people were still believers in the Temple of the Sun. ”
Although only a few people know about this matter, the scholars of the Aurora Kingdom inherited the backbone of their ancestors from the great war of that year. They are not afraid of theocracy, they are not afraid of high-ranking officials, and they scold the royal family for inaction every day, but the royal family is still afraid of them, and they have issued a decree that 'they cannot punish scholars'. ”
"In this way, the government of the Aurora Kingdom should be very good, but what can I hear that they have recently had a peasant uprising in the country?" Chen Xiansong thought it was strange.
Bai Qianxin blinked her beautiful eyes: "Who knows what's going on in Lu Dao, there have always been a lot of strange things in that country." (To be continued......)
