Chapter 1694 Marriage
In this era, if a woman does not have a son to take care of her in old age, it is simply a tragic thing... The Lu family pities the Du family, and becomes more and more close to and doting on her, just like mother and daughter. Even Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang love each other from time to time. Taste...
Fang Yizhi was most afraid of this mother. When he saw his mother getting angry, he quickly shrank his neck and muttered: "No, no, I didn't say anything."
Mrs. Lu hated that iron could not become steel. She tapped Fang Yizhi's forehead fiercely with her finger and said angrily: "Tell me about you. You read and write all day long. As a result, what have you learned? What are you doing? You don't have any longevity, your father will live his whole life I didn’t ask for help. I sacrificed my old face for you and asked for a job as a clerk in the Ministry of Industry. As a result, you spent three days fishing and two days drying nets... I didn’t expect you to be like Erlang, who was in the court, but you had to have a job plan. Body? ”
Being reprimanded by his mother in front of his two sisters-in-law, even Fang Yi's pedantic character couldn't bear it. He blushed and said, "Mom, can you stop comparing your child with Erlang... My child has There is a huge difference between self-knowledge and Erlang's talent! You can't compare the beauty of pottery pots with porcelain, can you? Now, there are two brothers in the same family. If he is capable, he should be more considerate. How can he despise me as an incompetent brother? If it doesn't work, I will give Erlang his father's title. Even if he doesn't give it now, the child will be born! If a son is not born, one of Erlang’s sons will have to be adopted in the future to inherit the title. After all, it will not still be his..."
Only people like Fang Yizhi could say such words of shirk of responsibility, which made Lu almost fall backwards in anger, but made Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang almost laugh...
This person makes people hate him when he is pedantic. He does not seek advancement and has a lazy temperament. But it is this heartless character that saves a lot of fights in the family. If he were placed in someone else's house, facing such a brother who was so talented that he was almost like a demon, he wouldn't know how to worry about having what he deserved taken away from him.
Fang Yizhi has a good attitude and self-awareness. He knows that he is not as good as Fang Jun, so what is there to fight for?
Anyway, we are two brothers. You have food to eat, how can you still watch me starve? The more capable you are, the more leisurely I will be. It is best if you take care of everything, and I will naturally be happy and at ease.
As for the title?
If you like it, take it. Anyway, I can’t give birth to a son, so in the future this title will have to be given to your son...
Is this pedantic or clever?
No one can tell.
Anyway, if Fang Jun is determined to follow Fang Yizhi, Fang Yizhi will definitely not be able to rob him... But Fang Yizhi doesn't take this attitude to heart at all. Even if you, Fang Jun, are thoughtful, are you embarrassed?
It doesn't matter whether you say he is a wise man or a fool, or you can say that a fool is blessed by being foolish. Anyway, Fang Yizhi has always had this attitude.
Mrs. Lu is completely convinced by her son, so she can just let him enjoy the happiness at home. With her strong character, if she hadn't been lucky enough to have an Erlang to win over her, she wouldn't have known whether she would have been aggrieved. Die...
As for Xianggong Fang Xuanling?
Humph, he is even more of a stupid old guy who only suffers losses and refuses to take advantage...
*****
In the small garden in the backyard of Duke Wei's mansion, there is an octagonal pavilion with red railings and jade, which is very elegant.
At this time, the grass is withered and yellow, the autumn wind is howling, and the scenery in the yard is inevitably withered and desolate. Only a shallow pool in front of the pavilion is full of autumn water. The leaves of the wax tree beside the pool gradually turn red, as warm as fire, and are reflected in the pool. There are quite a few... Very poetic.
There is a gauze curtain around the pavilion to block the shivering autumn wind. Inside the pavilion is a lacquered table with a small red clay stove. The fire is blazing at the moment, and the light blue flames stretch and lick. Touching the bottom of the brass kettle, the spring water in the pot made a gurgling sound.
Su Dingfang knelt on the ground, reached out and gently lifted the brass kettle, opened the lid and let it dry for a while, then poured boiling water into the teapot on the roadside...
Wash the tea, make the tea, divide the tea... When the clear green tea soup leaks from the spout and pours into the tea cup, a faint fragrance of tea rises in the pavilion.
Li Jing touched his palm and smiled and said: "Haha, I really didn't expect that you, a rough guy who is used to holding swords and guns, can actually play with such elegant charm."
His eyes are full of light, his frame is broad and his back is straight, his beard and hair are all gray, but his spirit is hale and hearty.
Su Dingfang chuckled and said respectfully: "The commander-in-chief is ridiculous, the general is just a rough man, how can he know such enjoyment? I just spent the whole day in Huating Town hanging out with Pei Xingjian, the second generation ancestor, who never tires of fine food or fine food. , the most obsessed with the way of drinking tea, eventually I will see a lot, and naturally I will understand a little bit.”
Li Jing stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup, put it to His Majesty to smell it gently, and then took a shallow sip. The tea liquid entered his throat, soft and mellow, and left a fragrance on his teeth and cheeks.
He praised: "This craftsmanship is really good... The tea ceremony is very popular nowadays, and all the princes and nobles drink it. Tea is a thing that is good at the beauty of rivers and the spiritual endowment of Zhongshan River. It can remove stagnation, lead to purity, harmony, and leisure. Clean, the rhyme is high and tranquil. Sitting quietly and drinking tea from time to time can help cultivate your mood and eliminate distracting thoughts. Following Fang Jun southward is a good move. If he stays in Guanzhong, he will inevitably die with someone like him. Now that his official career is prosperous and his life is going smoothly, it can be seen that a person's ability alone is not enough. He also needs luck. We need support, to put it bluntly, we need to be with the right person..."
When I spoke about it later, my tone was emotional.
This reminded him of himself...
He had strategized and won thousands of miles in his life, and he could be said to have made great military achievements like a god. However, he ended up in such a lonely place today, not only because of luck, but also because he followed the wrong person.
Looking back at the ups and downs of his half-life, Li Jing sometimes couldn't hide his surprise. It seemed that he had an inexplicable talent. Either he didn't stand in the same team or he would stand in the wrong team...
When Li Yuan and his son first had the idea of starting an army, the first thing they thought of was Li Jing. It might be too much to say that they were trying to win over Li Jing, but they definitely attached great importance to it. The result? Li Jing thought about it. On one side was the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Sui Yang, and on the other side was the small Guanlong Li family. Regardless of the comparison of strength or the small talk of righteousness, it seemed that he didn't need to think too much, so he did one thing simply and neatly - —Report with real name!
Fortunately, Li Yuan and his son did a good job in crisis public relations, which made Yang Guang believe that his cousin Li Yuan would not rebel against him. The matter was put aside for the time being, and Li Yuan was safe.
But Li Jing’s trap has finally been removed...
Immediately afterwards, Yang Guangjiang was killed, Li Yuan launched an army to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, and Li Jing defected to the Sui Dynasty. He fought all the way and made great military exploits for the birth of Li Tang, which attracted worldwide attention and was dazzling.
As a result, at this time, Li Jing had another choice of taking sides...
In fact, it can't be said that he took sides, because Li Jing was already a general in the Qin Palace at that time. Faced with the Qin King's intention to launch the Xuanwumen coup, did he still have to choose? Naturally, follow the boss. But Li Jing was full of justice at this time. He felt that this was a fight between two brothers and he was not an outsider to intervene, so he chose neutrality...
When a group of fierce generals in the Prince of Qin's Palace plotted an uprising at the Xuanwu Gate, he said he would go home and drink; when the generals in the Prince of Qin's Palace stained the Xuanwu Gate with blood, he returned home to cook wine and admire the moon; when Cheng Yaojin rushed to the Golden Palace When Li Yuan's eyes were splitting and he shouted "please abdicate" three times, he drank all the wine in a jar and added another jar...
Swans are elegant and beautiful animals. However, if you are among a group of crows, no crows will praise or envy you. They will only say that you are not sociable. After the Xuanwu Gate, His Majesty Li Er was infamous. He was notorious for killing his brothers and forcing his father to abdicate. He was despised by the government and the public. The generals who participated in the coup also became traitors and traitors. Together, they became black crows.
However, at this moment, Li Jing is still as noble as a big white goose. One can only imagine the days to come...
Cheng Yaojin talked nonsense in the court and acted arbitrarily behind his back. His Majesty Li Er laughed at it and didn't care. After all, we had done bad things together and were scolded together. He should be beaten and scolded, but others did not. Not even a hair would do; but for Li Jing, he never scolded him, only praised him.
The implication: You are not one of our own, and I won’t mess around with you...
Li Jing sighed.
Think about it carefully, is the so-called uprightness and loyalty in my life really that noble?
When Li Yuan raised his army, the Sui Dynasty had just experienced the disastrous defeat of the Eastern Expedition. The world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. The country was in chaos and war was everywhere. At that time, the foundation of the Sui Dynasty had been destroyed. Even without Li Tang, there were still Du Fuwei, Dou Jiande, Xiao Xian, Wang Shichong... … When all the heroes come together to compete in the world, where can there be good and evil, right and wrong?
As for the changes in Xuanwu Gate...
To be honest, in addition to coveting the throne, His Majesty Li Er also had a reason to do what he did. He is the King of Qin, the best king in the world! In the process of decisively fighting against the world, his achievements were brilliant, how could Li Jiancheng tolerate him?
What's more, at that time, King Qin's Tiance Mansion had fierce generals like clouds and counselors like rain. These people followed King Qin in the southern and northern wars and charged into battle. They did not resist in order to be slaughtered by the prince Li Chengqian in the future. They wanted titles, a future, and honoring their ancestors. , is the wife of Feng Yinzi!
Therefore, changes in Xuanmen are inevitable, and they must change even if they remain unchanged...
The general trend of the world cannot be violated, but what have you done in it?
Li Jing smiled bitterly and sighed. (End of chapter)
