In He Lianfang's house.

Zhao Yao and He Lianfang were having lunch.

Not long ago, the two fought on the sand table all morning. Although Zhao Yao was defeated, he was not hit, on the contrary, he was very excited.

This morning's fiasco made Zhao Yao learn a lot.

During the meal, Zhao Yao kept chattering about his realization. He Lianfang didn't think he was noisy, listened to him seriously, and responded to his words from time to time.

"Uncle, you used to be a particularly powerful general." Although the art of war that his uncle taught him now is very simple, he can use simple methods to break the enemy, which not everyone can do, and he feels that his uncle's art of war is very high. It's a pity that his uncle didn't tell him what his last name was, otherwise he would have found out who his uncle was.

He Lianfang said modestly: "General." "If he was really good, he wouldn't have lost his legs, let alone his master." I forgot to ask you before, why do you want to cultivate your own people, but also cultivate fine work? What is the real purpose of these things that you think so little? ”

When Zhao Yao heard He Lianfang ask, his eyes dodged, and he immediately said with a little emptiness: "It's to prepare for me to grow up." ”

"Oh, ready to grow up?" He Lianfang knew Zhao Yao's life experience, but she deliberately asked, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" ”

"Uncle, the situation in my family is a little complicated." Zhao Yao pondered it in his heart, and then spoke, "My family is relatively wealthy, my father has ten sons, and I am the youngest son, but my youngest son is not very favored. ”

Not very favored?

What is this kid talking about?

He Lianfang was shocked in her heart, Zhou Zheng obviously loved this kid very much, how could this kid say this?

Zhao Yao didn't notice He Lianfang's strange appearance, and continued: "Our family has a rule, when we grow up, we will go to live somewhere else, and when the time comes, our father will give us a piece of land and let us manage that land well. ”

He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao calmly and patiently listened to him continue to talk nonsense.

"My eldest brother is a sister-in-law, born to my father's original wife, and it stands to reason that our family's property should be inherited by my eldest brother, but my second brother is very powerful, and he is very similar to my father, and he is very popular with my father. In addition, my second brother's mother is also favored by my father, so my father has the idea that my second brother will replace my eldest brother to inherit the family business. ”

He Lianfang sneered in her heart, acting like Zhou Zheng?

Although He Lianfang hated Emperor Wu of Zhou, he still agreed with Emperor Wu of Zhou's strength. When he said that the acting king was like Emperor Wu of Zhou, he really underestimated Emperor Wu of Zhou, because Emperor Wu of Zhou when he was young was much more powerful than the acting king.

"My eldest brother and my second brother have been snatching the heir position, but I still have the third brother, and their maternal grandfather family is also very rich. They are also secretly snatching the position of heir. "Third brother, they haven't done anything now, because they have been fishing in troubled waters, but it won't be long before they come out.

He Lianfang suddenly asked, "You are also doing so many things to snatch the position of heir in the future?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yao was startled at first, and then quickly shook his head and said, "No, I'm not interested in the position of heir at all." ”

He Lianfang raised her eyebrows slightly, and her tone was a little incredulous: "Not interested? ”

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Well, I'm not interested in the position of heir at all. ”

This answer was beyond He Lianfang's surprise, "Why aren't you interested, you don't want to inherit the family business?" ”

"I don't want to." Zhao Yao looked resistant, "I don't want to at all." ”

He Lianfang saw that Zhao Yao really didn't want to inherit the family business, and a trace of astonishment crossed her eyes.

Zhao Yao said again: "My mother is not favored, and my youngest son is not liked by my father, so we want to compete for the position of heir because we have a long life." ”

Is it for this reason?

"Your mother is not favored, your grandfather's family has no power, these are not important." He Lianfang said, "Forces can be cultivated, and you can do a good job now." When you grow up, you will have a certain strength to compete for that position. “

"No, no, no." Zhao Yao was so frightened that he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and waved his hand vigorously, "I am just doing these things now to make my life better when I grow up, not to compete for that position." ”

"Better?"

"Uncle, you don't know that the situation in our family is not only complicated, but also dangerous." Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "My brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps, and the mothers of my brothers are also very powerful. It is not easy for my mother and I to live well in my family. "Alas, it is really not easy for their mother and son to live well in the palace.

"My mother wants me to grow up safely, wait until I am sixteen and leave home, and then go to the place my father gave me to live well."

He Lianfang raised her eyebrows and asked, "You think so too?" ”

Zhao Yao nodded again and again: "That's what I thought." I've figured out what I'm going to do when I'm older. Saying that, Zhao Yao's face showed a yearning look, "When I grow up, I will play around, eat all the delicious food in the world, and live a happy life." ”

He Lianfang was shocked by Zhao Yao's words, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face.

"I'm doing this now to prepare for the future, and when the time comes, I'll let these people help me manage the place my dad gave me, so I can play around."

After hearing this, He Lianfang hooked the corners of her mouth and sneered: "You are really promising!" ”

"Uncle, do you think I won't be able to compete for that position?"

"Isn't it?" He Lianfang didn't expect Zhao Yao to have no heart to snatch that seat, "Your brothers are all snatching that seat, but you just want to play around when you grow up." ”

"Uncle, everyone has their own ambitions, my brothers like to grab that seat, it doesn't mean that I have to fight for that seat too." The look on Zhao Yao's little face suddenly became very serious, "Putting this aside, what qualifications do I have to compete for that position?" If you want people to be nobody, you want power and no power. ”

"You're still young, and there's still time to cultivate your own power." He Lianfang raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "With me here, I can help you snatch that seat." ”

Zhao Yao still shook his head: "No, I'm not interested in being an heir, I just want to grow up and play around." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yao still said this, He Lianfang glared at him with hatred.

immediately thought that no matter how smart Zhao Yao was, he was only a six-year-old child now, and it was normal for him to want to play around when he grew up.

Just because he doesn't want to fight for that position now doesn't mean he doesn't want to fight when he grows up. In a few years, when he grows up, he will definitely change his mind.

"Tell me more about your family."

Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I just said it." ”

"You didn't go into enough detail about what you just said." He Lianfang's tone was very serious.

For this order, Zhao Yao felt strange in his heart, but seeing He Lianfang's stern face, he had to say it again. For example, the one was a little more detailed.

After listening to this, He Lianfang basically understood the situation of Zhao Yao and his brothers, and gave an evaluation: "A group of rabble. "Zhou Zheng's son really can't get on the stage.

"Huh? The rabble? Zhao Yao asked, "Uncle, do you mean my brothers?" ”

"Well, a rabble." He Lianfang sneered in her heart, Zhou Zheng's sons were really not good, "You are much better than your group of brothers." ”

Zhao Yao asked with some surprise: "Uncle, are you praising me for being smart?" ”

"Well, you're much smarter than your brother." Zhao Yao's group of brothers has strong maternal support, but Zhou Zheng is jealous and doesn't like the family, and sooner or later he will do something to the family in the capital. "You're better suited for that seat than your brothers."

Even if Zhao Yao is not suitable for that seat, He Lianfang will let him sit in that seat.

When Zhao Yao heard this, he was directly stunned, and looked at He Lianfang in a daze.

Seeing Zhao Yao's unbelievable expression, He Lianfang glared at him and said, "What kind of eyes are you?" ”

Zhao Yao came back to his senses and said, "Uncle, I didn't expect me to be so smart and so good in your mind." As he spoke, he smirked twice, "Some flattered me." ”

He Lianfang snorted lightly and said, "You are my student, naturally you are the best." "The students he teaches are not bad.

Zhao Yao thought to himself, so that's the case.

"Uncle, you're wrong, I'm not more suitable for that position than my brother, and there are two brothers who are more suitable than me." To be honest, he felt that among his group of imperial brothers, the most suitable person for that position was the fourth brother. Although the starling is smart and means, the starling's temperament is a little paranoid.

"Two?" He Lianfang said with some surprise, "Shouldn't it be one?" ”

Hearing He Lianfang say this, Zhao Yao was a little surprised: "Uncle, which one are you talking about?" ”

"Your fourth brother."

After Zhao Yao heard this, he was shocked: "Uncle, how do you know?" ”

"Your fourth brother is indeed better than others, and he also has an advantage." The fourth prince has the support of the Li family behind him, which is his biggest advantage. This is what the acting king and the three princes do not have. "However, this is also your fourth brother's disadvantage." The Li family, like the Kong family, has advantages and great disadvantages.

"Disadvantage?" Zhao Yao hurriedly asked, "What's the disadvantage?" ”

He Lianfang didn't answer, just smiled slightly.

"You don't have a strong maternal support, which seems like a big disadvantage, but it's also an advantage."

Zhao Yao was stunned: "Where is the advantage?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Yao didn't understand, He Lianfang didn't say much.

"You'll find out later."

"Uncle, why are you still selling Guanzi?" Without the support of the powerful mothers, it is difficult to sit in that position.

"You're still young and don't know how to be normal." He Lianfang was not angry with Zhao Yao because he said that he just wanted to play around when he grew up, nor did he want to give up on him because of these words. In his opinion, Zhao Yao's previous words were just children's words, and they couldn't be counted. When he grows older, he will understand the importance of power.

Hearing He Lianfang say this, Zhao Yao pouted unconvinced: "Although I am still a child, I am not stupid." ”

"If you can talk about playing around and eating all the food in the world, what is it if you are not a child?"

"What's wrong with this dream of mine......"

He Lianfang interrupted Zhao Yao's words, "Have you eaten well?" After eating, go to play chess. ”

Zhao Yao didn't dare to grind any more, hurriedly finished eating the food in the bowl, and immediately followed He Lianfang to the courtyard.

Every day after lunch, He Lianfang would play a few games of chess with Zhao Yao. On the chessboard, guide Zhao Yao in the art of war.

After playing chess, Zhao Yao left He Lianfang's house.

He Lianfang still asked Zhao Yao to continue reading "Spring and Autumn" as before, and as for the other books, he did not explain. Zhao Yao is still young, and he has only one to read this year, if he is told to read a lot of books at once, he may not be able to read and understand.

Zhao Yao walked out of the house and glanced back, his expression thoughtful.

Uncle wouldn't know anything, would he?

Did my uncle guess my identity?

No way, I didn't show a clue from beginning to end, and my uncle couldn't have guessed my identity. But how do I feel that what my uncle said at lunchtime has a deep meaning?

Who the hell is Uncle?

The more Zhao Yao thought about it, the more he felt that He Lianfang's identity was not ordinary.

Liang Run saw Zhao Yao's contemplative expression, and asked with concern, "Yaoyao, what's wrong, what's going on?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm thinking about playing chess with my uncle." No way, it was impossible for the uncle to guess his identity. "Second uncle, let's go find Mr. Xiao."

Liang Run was shocked and asked, "Now go to Mr. Xiao?" ”

Zhao Yao looked at the sky and said, "At this time, Mr. Xiao has returned home from the palace, and it is most appropriate for us to go to him." ”

"It's almost time for dinner, isn't it good for us to go at this time?"

"Mr. Xiao is alone in the house, and we won't disturb him at this time." Zhao Yao said again, "Let's go to Zhenyulou to buy some vegetables to take with us, and have dinner with Mr. Xiao." With us accompanying Mr. Xiao to finish the meal, Mr. Xiao may be very happy. ”

Liang Run was surprised: "Mr. Xiao is alone, what about his wife and children?" ”

Seeing his second uncle's surprised look, Zhao Yao was slightly stunned, and then said: "Second uncle, didn't I tell you, Mr. Xiao is alone in his family, he is not married, and he has no children. ”

"You didn't say that."

"Then you know now." Zhao Yao said, "The fourth brother told me before, let me accompany Mr. Xiao more. ”

"In that case, then buy a few more bottles." Liang Run asked, "Mr. Xiao is drinking, right?" ”

"I think I'll have a few drinks." Zhao Yao wasn't very sure, after all, in the palace, he hadn't seen Mr. Xiao drinking.

Mr. Xiao was slightly startled when he saw Zhao Yao bringing his second uncle to him, but he didn't say anything.

Zhao Yao and the others had dinner while discussing the matter of leaving for Wusun in a few days.

Mr. Xiao told Zhao Yao that he had helped him find two students who would go to Wusun with him, who were his former students. Both of them speak some of the languages of the Western Regions.

In these two days, the two of them will arrive in the capital, and then go to Wusun with Liang Run and them.

Zhao Yao is very relieved about the person Mr. Xiao is looking for.

After lunch, Mr. Xiao reminded Zhao Yao that it was time to go back to the palace to study.

When Zhao Yao heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't expect that his stinky father didn't send someone to ask him to go back to the palace to study, but Mr. Xiao asked him to go back to study. However, he also plans to return to the palace tomorrow.

Seeing that Mr. Xiao lived alone, Zhao Yao cheekily proposed to stay at Mr. Xiao's house at night and go back to the palace with him early tomorrow morning.

Mr. Xiao did not object, and left Zhao Yao to stay.

Liang Run still had something to do, so he didn't live in Mr. Xiao's house.

In the study, Mr. Xiao and Zhao Yao were playing chess. As they went on, the two talked about the situation in the court.

Zhao Yao originally thought that Mr. Xiao didn't care about the situation in the imperial court, but he didn't expect Mr. Xiao to see it very clearly.

Mr. Xiao hesitated for a long time, but decided to open his mouth to remind Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, you should keep your distance from the Eighth Prince in the future." ”

There is a second shift in the evening.

It's the end of the month, old irons, please have a monthly pass in your hands!
