The work in the Hanlin Academy is not hard, but it is tedious and full of rot. As time goes by, the more impatient I become to deal with those rotten people. He used the excuse that Minjia was getting older and needed his husband's company by her side not to go.
Because of this, his father reprimanded him severely. Even his husband started talking about him and asked him to establish a good relationship with the scholars of the Hanlin Academy.
He is not in the mood to have a good relationship with those rotten people.
After he missed work again and did not go to the Hanlin Academy, his father became furious. This time it was not a reprimand, but a family method. This is the second time that dad has imposed family laws on him. My mother arrived when the family law was implemented for the first time. Half of the family law has been implemented, and this time my mother didn¡¯t even come.
He was beaten by his father until he lay on the bed and couldn't get up. Not only did his mother not come to the rescue, she never even came to the Hou Mansion to see him. His mother's attitude made him sad. My mother was disappointed with him, so she stopped visiting him.
While he was recuperating, he got news that his sister-in-law was pregnant. Listening to Minjia say that her mother arranged for Wen Po and others to be sent to Haikou, and that her mother did this and that. But none of this made him interested. It's been so long that my mother hasn't come to see him. Did you really disappoint your mother? He doesn't just reflect on himself.
Half a month passed, and my mother finally came to see him. He was aggrieved, very aggrieved. It's been half a month and I haven't come to see him anymore.
Seeing his appearance, my mother smiled and touched his head like she did when she was a child, and then said with a gentle smile: "Are you wronged?"
Of course I feel aggrieved. My mother loved him the most before, but this is the first time she ignored him.
Mother said softly: "Didn't you always say you want to be on par with your brother before? Why don't you have any patience now?" It's not that Wen Wan doesn't want to come see Mingjin, it's just that she knows Mingjin's temperament too well. If he still maintains the same as before, Mingjin will not know how to reflect and will still be as confident as before.
He remained silent, not because he was impatient, but because he felt it was a waste of time. You can't learn anything in the Hanlin Academy, it's just a waste of qualifications. After three years, go up to the next level. A top scholar like him is considered to have a high rank when he comes out, and he starts from the fifth rank when he comes. He was liked by the emperor's uncle and was given an official position of the fifth rank, which was already very high.
Under normal circumstances, he would stay in the Hanlin Academy for three years and then be released. He will be released for two or three terms, and when his political performance is outstanding, he will be transferred back to the capital. Slowly endure it, step by step. He also thought about making a career in his career. But after talking to his eldest brother, he no longer wanted to waste time on his official career. I used to have a little thought that my brother would be the generalissimo and he would be the prime minister, and they would be both civil and military brothers. It was a beautiful thought when I was a kid. But it's not realistic. My brother will definitely be the commander of the navy in the future. When the time comes, he will command hundreds of thousands of troops. My brother controls a large number of troops, and no matter how wise or powerful the emperor is, he cannot accommodate him as prime minister or assistant anymore. No matter how hard he worked, he couldn't achieve it. Since this road is hopeless, we must find another way. He has been thinking about this issue these days.
He has always wanted to talk to his mother about this matter: "Mom, I have never thought about joining the cabinet in the future. To join the cabinet, you must accumulate enough qualifications, and being posted outside is a necessary experience. I don't want to leave my mother's side. And being posted outside When I get to the place, I have to work for the benefit of the people. I don't want to work hard. I still hope to be as comfortable as my mother. "If you think about it clearly, I really have no regrets. He is already a high-level Marquis and has no interest in doing those thankless things anymore.
Mother listened and touched his head. She was both relieved and guilty: "Mom has been worried and didn't know how to tell you. I didn't expect you knew it a long time ago and thought about it so much." In fact, Wen Wan has always wanted her child to live happily every day. But their status restricts them a lot.
Mingjin chuckled: "Mom, you always think of me as a child. I am no longer a child. Mom, you will tell me everything about your family from now on. You have slowly tempered your brother and cousin Lingtan, so you can't Let me be a child for the rest of my life. I also have to take my own responsibilities.¡±
Mom smiled softly at that time: "Mom just hopes that you can live happily every day. It's enough to have mom, your father, and your brother at home to worry about. But I didn't expect that our Mingjin would also grow up. Mingjin, Mom is very pleased." Wen Wan said so. But when she can be protected, she still hopes that Mingjin can do what she likes.
He was happy and cheerful at the time, and of course he really enjoyed his mother treating him like a child. It's just that he has grown up and is going to be a father himself, so he has to support this price.
After thinking for a while, mother said: "Since you are not interested in an official career, mother will not force you. However, Mingjin, you know that people have to do something in this world. You can't wait for your father and brother to survive." For all this time, you are still an unknown person, so you are very shameless. Mingjin, is there anything you want to do in particular???Work towards this. "A child is better than a mother. Mingjin is cautious about being arrogant. If Mingjin is left too far away by Mingrui, Mingjin will feel ashamed in the future. Over time, it will affect his character. Cracks will also appear between brothers.
Now that his mother had told him, he also told her his innermost plans. During this period of time, he has been thinking about things. That's what he should do, and he doesn't want to become an unknown person: "Mom, I have liked reading books written by my mother since I was a child. Mom, I hope to be someone like you and my master. Even if I am not in the wild, I will not be in the public eye. If you are an official in the court, you must be respected by everyone. "My master is the best hermit in the world, and his mother is also the best female scholar in the world. He will not join the government, but like his mother and master, he must be respected by everyone.
After hearing his plan, her mother pondered for a long time and said: "Mingjin, what you have learned now is just a little bit superficial. If you really want to become a person like your master, you must have a foundation like your master. This road, It's not easier than becoming an official. Are you sure you really want to take this path?" If Ming Jin Ruchao were to become an official, with her on his side and recruiting a few good staff, Zaifu wouldn't want to, but his career would definitely be good. If he wants to follow the literary path, she can guide him, but everything still has to be up to him. Wen Wan is worried that Mingjin won't be able to endure the hardship.
He nodded heavily: "Mom, I hope to become a great scholar and be respected by scholars all over the world. This is no worse than being a prime minister."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, mother nodded and said: "You have laid a good foundation over the years. But this is not enough. If you want to become the best scholar in the world, you must have a lot of knowledge. Mother will help you, but you have to Listen to your mother. "Wen Wan has never wanted her children to become nerds. All kinds of knowledge are available to them. Mingjin also did a good job in this aspect.
Of course he listened to his mother. As a result, the first thing his mother asked him to do was to stay in the Hanlin Academy for three years. Mother¡¯s reasons are also obvious: ¡°The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Mother does not deny that there are many rotten people in the Hanlin Academy who are seeking fame. But there are many well-educated people in it. Mingjin, you must know how to use the strengths of others to complement yourself. Shortcoming. You don¡¯t have enough experience and background. You need to learn more from these people, you know?
He was a little reluctant in his heart.
Mother touched his forehead and said softly: "If you want to become a great scholar respected by everyone, you must first put away this arrogance"
He didn¡¯t wait for his mother to finish speaking, and immediately retorted: ¡°Mom, is a person still a human being if he loses his pride?¡± How could a person lose his pride!
Mother shook her head and muttered that she was just like your father. He interrupted midway without waiting for anyone to finish speaking. He muttered. Mom's words were feedback to him, telling him not to say bad things about his father in the future. But he didn't choke on his mother anymore.
Seeing that he remained silent, my mother smiled and said, "Your brother is in charge of the Huwei Army at the tender age of fifteen. No one among the three thousand people in the Huwei Army has any objection. What do you think you rely on?"
Of course he knows this, his brother relies on his own ability.
Mother touched his head and said earnestly: "Yes, you know that your brother relies on his own ability. But not everyone thinks so. When your brother first entered the military camp at the age of twelve, many people also regarded him as As a playboy, I thought your brother was in the same situation as you at that time because of my kindness. It also took your brother three years to convince everyone in the Huwei Army to obey him. "
He understood what his mother was going to say. Sure enough, my mother said, "Mingjin, those people are dissatisfied with you now because they think you are not really talented and knowledgeable. Just let them see your true talent and knowledge." Wen Wan saw that Mingjin remained silent and sighed slightly. To: "Mingjin, you must be proud and confident. You can disdain them, but you must show your confidence to disdain them. Mother does not deny your intelligence and hard work. But you are inexperienced and experienced. This is It¡¯s an indisputable fact. It¡¯s incomparable to those who have been studying in the Hanlin Academy for decades. If you pick someone out, you will be suppressed and can¡¯t say a word.¡±
He didn¡¯t believe it.
Mother shook her head at him: "You, you, it's not good if you are too confident." She didn't even have hair, so she looked down on those great scholars who had studied knowledge for decades. This is not about having too much ambition and too little power. This blind confidence in Mingjin must be eradicated.
His mother made an agreement with him that when his injuries healed, she would let him compete with any old master from the Hanlin Academy. He thought about it for a long time and agreed.
After the injury healed, my mother invited Bachelor Wu from the Hanlin Academy to come over. As a result, he was rendered speechless. My face was red and I couldn't say a word. The result was horrific.
Mother smiled and said to Wu Xueshi: "I raised this child so ignorantly that he thought he could dominate the world with just a few skills. He didn't know that there are people outside the world. It's my fault. I will teach him well."??This period of time has caused Mr. Wu to worry. "
The old man Wu said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare." The old man Wu was very respectful in front of his mother, but he was completely different from the same person in front of him.
After Mr. Wu left, my mother saw him looking helpless and pulled him down beside him with a smile: "Do you look down on Mr. Wu?" She could see the disdain in her son's eyes.
He pouted, of course, flatteringly.
Mother smiled and said: "Silly boy. Do you know that eight years ago, Master Wu, as a fifth-rank official, dared to scold the prince in the street. Do you think Master Wu would flatter Mother with his temperament? Isn't it because he is respectful to Mother? It¡¯s because of my mother¡¯s identity.¡±
He said nothing.
Seeing him, my mother said nothing: "Do you think my mother was born with so much ink in her belly? Ask your Aunt Xia Yao and Aunt Xia Ying. In addition to free time, my mother has never left a book since she was a child. In the past thirty years, there has not been a day without reading. Reading. That¡¯s where my mother¡¯s confidence comes from. Mingjin, nothing comes from the sky.¡±
He knows this, my mother has been practicing calligraphy since she was a child. From the age of six to now, unless there are special reasons, my mother has practiced Chinese characters for half an hour every day. This is very similar to my brother's martial arts training.
Having said that, he said very depressedly: "Mom, why were you able to beat Xueshi Hai with a chess piece when you were ten years old and become famous all over the world? My brother joined the army when he was twelve years old, and now he is a general. I am sixteen Even though she is old, she still doesn't have enough experience, and she still has to bear the wrath of those rotten people. "Mom, why is this?" He heard from the two aunts Xia Ying and Xia Yao that my mother has been like a grown-up since she was a child. His mother started doing business at the age of seven, became famous at the age of ten, and was involved in a dispute over the heirloom at the age of eleven. Started business at the age of fifteen. My mother-in-law was still at war with the emperor's uncle, and my mother even served as the regent and princess to handle the government affairs on his behalf. Mom created one miracle after another. It can be said that there is nothing that a mother cannot do.
The same goes for my brother. He has been like a little adult since he was little. Whatever you do, do your best. There is nothing that my brother cannot do. But when it was his turn, his mother said that he did not have enough experience and background. Don¡¯t make people depressed or stressed!
After hearing this, Wen Wan smiled and touched his head. This silly boy knew that Mingrui had a lifetime more experience than him. In this life, I will study hard and practice hard, never slacking off for a day. Mingrui is extremely talented and cannot be compared to him no matter what.
He didn¡¯t know what his mother was thinking, he just thought that his mother and brother seemed to have innate abilities. I couldn't help but mutter: "Aunt Xia Yao always said that I look like my mother, but my temperament is like my father. I think not only my temperament, but also my brain is like my father. If I were like my mother, I should be like my brother. Mom, I'm at a disadvantage." Although it was a complaint, it really made him depressed. In terms of talent, he is no worse than his brother. Not only did his husband and his mother say that he was highly qualified, but even the gentlemen outside were full of praise for him. But the comparison between people is so annoying. He is already so good, but his brother is even better than him. No matter what it is, you can learn it once you learn it. It's always a big step ahead of him.
For example, when learning calligraphy, he obviously works hard like his brother, but so far he has only learned two fonts, while his brother can write three fonts. And the writing is no worse than him. My brother spent most of his energy on practicing martial arts, but his literary talent was not that good at all. If my brother hadn't aspired to be a general since he was young, this top scholar would have been his. Every time he gets the idea of ??competing with his brother, he finds that his brother has already left him several blocks away. This made him very frustrated.
There are various signs that my brother must have inherited it from his mother. And he definitely looks like his father. Otherwise, why would he be so stupid? Therefore, the problem lies with Dad, not him.
After hearing this, my mother laughed loudly: "Okay, wait until I tell your father this." Wen Wan really didn't expect that her son would blame Bai Shinian. But it¡¯s not bad to think so. It's better than complaining that you're not smart enough.
He is not worried that his mother will tell his father! After he finished complaining, he asked his mother seriously: "Mom, do you think I can become the best scholar in the world?" He had this wish, but it would definitely be difficult to achieve it. From the fact that Xueshi Wu, whom he looked down upon today, he knew that his temper was far behind.
Mother nodded: "Mingjin, learning is not something that happens overnight. It takes decades. This requires perseverance and perseverance. Mingjin, can you do it? Mingjin, as long as you can do it, mother believes in you. He will surely become a person respected and loved by scholars all over the world.¡±
He thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded: "Mom, I can do it." He will definitely be able to do it. Even if you can't do it, you have to do it. If there is no road to official career, there is only this way. He must achieve results. But he couldn't let his brother really bury him.
Mom was very pleased: "I am very happy that you have this determination. Mom believes that you can definitely achieve very good results in this study." As long as Mingjin strengthens this belief, she will do her best to help Mingjin achieve his wish.
As soon as the injury healed, Mingjin went back to the Hanlin Academy. Follow the teacher's instructions, lower your posture and restrain your temper. Slowly I got along well with those people. After getting along well, he must listen to his mother's words and work hard to learn the strengths of these people. He must use their strengths to make up for his own shortcomings.
In addition to allowing him to study with those unfaithful scholars in the Hanlin Academy, his mother also asked him to go to his master's place every time he took a break to study with his master. My mother used to say that she was nothing in front of her master, and all she learned was superficial. He was still dubious. But after staying with his master a few times, he realized that he didn't even learn anything in front of his master.
What he didn¡¯t know at the time was that his mother specifically asked his master to do this. Just to let the master dampen his pride. Let him know that there is no limit to learning, and he cannot be arrogant and complacent after understanding a little bit. Only in this way will he be able to study hard without looking down on his superiors.
He likes to study with his master very much. But my mother did not agree and only allowed three days a month. There are only three days, and most of the time it won¡¯t be enough. In other free time, I have to complete the tasks assigned by my mother. The so-called task is for my mother to select a bunch of books for him to read. After reading it, let him write down his thoughts. According to my mother, absorb the essence and remove the dross.
The master understood his question and stroked his long white beard and said with a smile: "Your mother is afraid that you will be tainted by the master's temper over time. Then she will follow your uncle and travel around the world." The late emperor The current emperor still complained about her. Said he led Wen Wan to ruin. Let Wenwan always think about traveling around the world. I just didn't expect Wen Wan to have this taboo. Song Luoyang laughed, this girl.
Song Luoyang really misunderstood Wen Wan. Wen Wan believes that Song Luoyang is proficient in everything because he is born with this material. Ming Jin is different. Although he is smart, he does not have Song Luoyang's talent and talent. In this situation, Mingjin's energy is limited and his temper is arrogant. If he was hit, it would take a lot of anger to get him to stand up. Otherwise, you may get tired of studying. So Wen Wan wants him to become a top talent within one realization, and let him achieve success with another realization. Only then did he have the interest and motivation to continue. Wen Wan asked Mingjin to learn from Song Luoyang, and what she learned from Song Luoyang was knowledge.
Song Luoyang is very pleased that Mingjin will want to inherit his mantle. Mingjin has this kind of heart, so he naturally gives everything to him. He taught Mingjin all the skills he needs to stay under the radar. Mingjin's understanding is worse than Wenwan, but overall he is still a very good disciple.
While Mingjin studied hard, he watched his wife¡¯s belly change day by day.
Minjia gave birth to a big fat boy. Jiang Lin came over happily. Wen Wan said with some regret: "Why isn't she a girl?"
Mingjin was dumbfounded. He knew that his mother had always wanted a sister since he was very young. Unfortunately, this wish could not be realized after my father suffered a physical injury. So my mother placed her hopes on them. It's a pity that I can't fulfill my mother's wish for the time being. I just hope that my brother can fulfill my mother's wish.
He heard that his mother asked Minjia to feed her son by herself, so she should feed her son by herself, without caring about other people¡¯s opinions. Outsiders say that my mother is a very disciplined person, but he feels that my mother is the least disciplined person. Is there a rich family where the head of the household breastfeeds her own children?
He looked up to the sky speechlessly and did not object yet. His mother told him that he and his brother had grown up feeding on his mother's milk. He also said that this way, mother and son would be closer. He couldn't understand that even if his son didn't drink Minjia's milk, wouldn't he be close to Minjia? If he didn't drink milk, he could deny the fact that he was his biological mother and son. Well, my mother has always had the final say in everything at home. He objected to ineffectiveness.
Not long after, news came from my brother that my sister-in-law had given birth. My brother got a big fat boy just like him. My mother was unhappy, and her wish to hold her granddaughter failed again.
He really wanted Minjia to get pregnant again as soon as possible, and then give his mother a white, tender and fragrant granddaughter. Unfortunately, her mother said that it would be best to wait one year between births. Otherwise, it will cause great damage to the body. All kinds of problems come with age. Let him cherish his wife more.
Dad wanted to name his grandson, but unfortunately he was deprived of the right by the emperor's uncle. The emperor's uncle saw his son, who was born in pink and jade, and gave him the name Yu. Name my brother's son Ye.
Dad was very depressed at the time because the emperor's uncle had deprived them of the right to name the two brothers. Now even the right to name my two grandchildren has been deprived.
He immediately comforted her happily and said, "Dad, it's okay. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to choose a name in the future." My mother didn't like concubines, so she had to give birth to Minjia with all her strength.
My brother wrote a letter saying that he wanted his sister-in-law to take Brother Ye back to the capital. Rejected by my mother. He said that there is nothing better for a child than being with his parents. If we really want to send it back, it will have to wait at least a few years. I have to say that there is no mother-in-law more charitable than my mother in the entire capital. Not to mention making things difficult, not even a harsh word. Treating Minjia and sister-in-law as if they were their own biological daughters.General. Everyone in the capital is envious. Minjia often said that she was lucky to have such an open-minded mother-in-law. This made him very proud.
He was initially unconvinced by Qi Niang¡¯s accusation that he had a weak foundation, but as time went by, he realized that it was not easy to be a scholar and that he had to learn too many things. He has a lot to learn if he wants to realize his wish. There is no end to them. For the first time in his life, he had the idea of ??retreating, and this time it wasn't his father who jumped out and scolded him. But my mother stood up. He was severely criticized. He said that if he didn't even have this certainty, what else could he do in the future. Nothing can be done: "Mingjin, you keep talking about how great you are, but don't you know what your brother has done these years? If you had your brother's patience and perseverance, you would definitely be able to achieve your goal. wish. But if you give up halfway now, you will accomplish nothing in your life." Wen Wan knew that this boy was just slacking off. Only with Mingrui can he be inspired.
Mingjin lowered his head as low as possible. This was the first time since he could remember that his mother had criticized him harshly! He was very sad.
Not sad enough yet, a letter came from my brother. His brother has always been very fond of him. Although he is very strict, he is always obedient to him in life. But this time, my tone in the letter was very harsh. He said that if he had such a mentality, he might as well not do anything, just become a second-generation ancestor and enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of his life.
"Well, my mother criticized me, my brother scolded me, and my father ignored me." If you really dare to give up, you will probably be betrayed by everyone. After I figured it out, I continued to study honestly.
As time went by, he learned from his master that knowledge is not limited to books. The master's erudition greatly broadened his horizons. His mother's insights were very unique. When he was stuck in the fog, her mother's advice made him feel like he could see the clear sky after clearing the clouds. Moreover, what his mother taught him was very novel. Later, his mother directly told him to let him specialize in one understanding and let him develop towards the understanding of books.
Wenwan wants to use some of the knowledge she has so that Mingjin can be at the forefront of this understanding. Wen Wan knew Ming Jin's temperament very well, and it would be impossible for him and Mingrui to force her like this. There must be enough motivation to keep him going. On the other hand, given Mingjin's temperament, he may have to give up the idea halfway. And this motivation is honor. Only if you let him know that doing this can really bring him what he wants, he will keep persisting.
Mingjin has stayed in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and has never gone to the Ministry of Finance or the Ministry of Personnel, where he is most welcome. Instead, he went to the relatively deserted Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites had nothing to do, and it was a leisurely yamen, so he had more time to study knowledge.
After studying quietly for four years, I got my mother¡¯s permission and started writing a book. He has loved listening to stories told by his mother since he was a child, and those stories told by his mother particularly attracted him. So his mother asked him to write a book, which he thought was good. If you write these interesting stories, maybe many people will like them!
During the process of writing the book, his master gave him a lot of knowledge. These are the experiences accumulated over decades and are very valuable. My mother also put forward a lot of opinions.
He wrote this book and revised it repeatedly. After writing it, he revised it six times before getting his master's approval. Only then did he realize that although it was just a story, writing it out in its entirety was not an ordinary hardship. It was more difficult than he thought. The road ahead is difficult if you want to become the number one scholar!
After the book was published, it received praise from many celebrities. It can be said to be a great success. Many people say that he inherited his mother's legacy. He initially had the idea of ??inheriting his mother's mantle. But later I learned that the few books my mother published back then were all made by mistake, and she didn¡¯t concentrate on learning at all. Mom just likes doing business. So to be precise, he inherited the mantle of his master.
His father, who had always been polite to him, was also full of relief. My brother also wrote a letter from thousands of miles away and praised him greatly. The academicians from the Hanlin Academy who used to find him displeased and picky about him also all sincerely praised him. At this time, a huge sense of satisfaction emerged in his heart.
Mother said, this road is very suitable for him. Let him keep going. However, while mother encouraged him, she also did not forget to teach him the tactics of strategy. Mother taught these so as not to let him get involved in those messy things.
The capital city is calm on the surface, but it is turbulent behind the scenes. Since the prince's death three years ago, the position of crown prince became vacant, and the secret fight among several cousins ??became even more ferocious. Among them, the third cousin is the most powerful. The third cousin had military exploits and was also the legitimate son. According to the law, he was the legitimate heir. It's just that the emperor's uncle has not appointed him as the crown prince for a long time. The other cousins ??all felt that they had hope, so they refused to give in.
Fights in the court are unavoidable for their family, which is at the forefront. Although my father had retired to the military a long time ago, after more than ten years, he no longer had much influence in the army. He is just a fourth-rank official with no real power. But his mother is in charge of Guangyuan Bank and GuangyuanTrading firm, not talking about trading firm. It's a bank. Guangyuan Bank is the largest money shop in Daqi. There are Guangyuan Bank branches in every prefecture and county in Daqi. It can be said that his mother controls most of Da Qi's money. In addition to my mother, my brother is also the commander of the Huwei Army and is in charge of a navy of one hundred thousand men. Whoever wins his family, no, his mother's support (my brother listens to his mother the most), has the greatest chance of winning.
But her mother was involved in the emperor's uncle's fight for the crown prince and narrowly escaped death. How could he be involved in their fight for the reserve again? Even my mother-in-law¡¯s cousin Ling Chang, who was brought up by my mother since childhood, didn¡¯t even openly support him.
Cousin Lingchen is also very strange. He came to live in my house when he was five years old. At that time, he was already sensible at the age of three. He didn't like the sudden appearance of a stranger in the house, so he often bullied him. Fortunately, cousin Ling Chang was very honest and honest. Not only did he not care about it, but he kept coaxing him and going along with him. In the past few years, as long as he was not on business, cousin Ling Chang would come over for a meal every month. And as always, she loved him as a biological brother.
He actually knew that his mother did not support cousin Lingchen. But secretly he has been giving guidance to cousin Lingcheng. Over the years, cousin Lingcheng has been safe and sound. He was assassinated several times and framed several times without any danger. His mother deserves a lot of credit. It's just that my mother didn't show it, and she was still neutral to the outside world.
Nowadays, the fighting in the court is fierce. As the legitimate son of the former Dong Palace, cousin Ling Chang could not stay out of the matter. It's just that cousin Lingcheng didn't try to win over courtiers like his third cousin. He has always been very low-key and dedicated to his work. He believed that what cousin Ling Chang did was absolutely correct. The more fierce the fight, the more annoying the emperor's uncle will be when the time comes.
What worries him is that at such an old age, his mother still has to work hard. He didn't want his mother to be so tired and wanted her to retire early. Not only him, but also his father and brother also wanted his mother to hand over the matters at hand. But no one can take up the mother's burden.
?According to what he said, if a person can't hold it, just divide him into several pieces. But my mother didn't want to. He said that he is still young and does not want to retire so soon. Retirement regrets doing nothing.
He was depressed. His mother was already in her forties and already had several grandchildren. The head matron of other families, at this age, would not be interested in having grandchildren. It's better that his mother just doesn't accept old age.
At this time, Aunt Xia Yao told him that when he and his brother were born. My mother handed over the matter at hand once, but in less than two years, the commercial house and the bank were almost swallowed up by the group of people who were eyeing them. If it were delivered now, no one would be able to sustain this big scene. Secondly, I am afraid that people with ulterior motives will suck up this industry.
Aunt Xia Yao said, it¡¯s not that my mother is reluctant to part with the money, nor is she reluctant to let it go. It's just that my mother doesn't want her decades of hard work to be wasted. It also reassured him that his mother had found a suitable successor and was putting him down there for training. In less than ten years, we can take over.
He was dizzy after hearing this. In ten years, I have to work for another ten years. In ten years, my mother-in-law will be fifty and two years old. However, Aunt Xia Yao wanted him not to interfere as long as his mother was willing.
¡°Okay, I accept Aunt Xia Yao¡¯s statement. Anyway, although my mother is in charge of such a big business, she is still a half-empty boss. Most matters are still left to the people below. My mother not only often plays with her grandson, but also goes out for a walk every few years.
It sounds really weird. My mother is already in her forties, but when she looks at someone in her forties, she looks less than thirty. Even Minjia was very envious. Everyone who knows my mother says, especially my sister-in-law¡¯s mother-in-law, Mrs. Luo, who often says that she grows upside down.
Of course, in his mind, mother was the most beautiful woman in the world, and even his wife Minjia had to lean back. He thinks my mother is the most beautiful, not her appearance. But as my brother said, my mother is the best mother in the world. Growing up, in his impression, his mother was always gentle and smiling. Never say a word out loud. When they were young, my mother was worried that they were not familiar with their father and would alienate father and son. So I showed them my father's picture album to let them remember what he looked like. He has been reading his father's letters to their brothers since they were young. When they were four years old, they were asked to correspond with their father. Because of their mother's love and care, their brothers didn't think they were fatherless children. In their understanding, dad was just working outside and would not come back soon. Because of mother's hard work, they are no strangers to father.
My mother¡¯s greatest wish in this life is for her family to be safe. My father had been in trouble several times in the past, and my mother had always been frightened. Now that dad is back, mom hopes that their brothers will be safe.
But my mother always lives in fear. Something happened to me. My brother was ambushed and disappeared. He can't be found.
My brother has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. At the age of fifteen, no one in the army could beat him. This was one of the two reasons why no one objected to his brother being promoted to the general of the Huwei Army. Everyone knows what I am capable of. TheseBrother Nian was responsible for the expansion of the navy in Haikou, and he made a great success. Mother never hid this from him. Expanding the navy has always been my mother's wish. This was also the reason why my mother didn¡¯t let go of the business at hand. The navy's expenses are staggering. If all the money comes from the treasury, I'm afraid the treasury will be empty. At that time, those censors and civil servants will be chattering again. Therefore, half of the navy's expenditures are borne by the national treasury, and half are supported by the profits of commercial banks and banks.
My brother disappeared, and the atmosphere in the family suddenly changed. Mom wants to go to Haikou to find someone in person. No one can stop my mother from doing anything she wants to do. Even the emperor's uncle couldn't stop him. But my mother didn't go to Haikou because she fell ill. My brother's disappearance made my mother fall ill.
He always believed that his mother was the strongest and could never be defeated. Even in the second year after his father came back, because the evil people of the Taira family cursed her and made her comatose for three days and three nights, he still thought that her was the strongest. He believed that his mother would not be defeated by others. But this belief was broken at this time.
?Looking at my mother who used to be so energetic and energetic in the past, she is now looking very haggard. He was also very sad in his heart. At this time, apart from staying in front of his mother, he could only secretly pray that his brother would be safe. He knew that if his brother was safe, his mother would be fine soon. But if my brother has No, my brother will be fine.
My mother asked my father to go to Haikou to find my brother. At mother's insistence and with his personal promise that he would take good care of her, father finally set off for Haikou. He actually knew that his father had been very sad since it was reported that his brother was missing. It's just that my father buries all these griefs deep in his heart, but the grief in his heart is no less than that of my mother.
Within two days after dad left, mom was cured of her illness. After my mother recovers from her illness. He summoned a lot of people, most of whom he didn't know. He used to walk away when his mother was doing things. This time my mother asked him to follow her.
It was quickly discovered that someone had plotted what happened to my brother. The route map of my brother's patrol was leaked. Someone is trying to kill my brother. And this person is Prince Rong. The reason is not important, what is important is that the man behind the scenes is King Rong.
Since the emperor¡¯s uncle came back from the military expedition and resigned from the position of regent and princess, my mother has only been doing business and has never been involved in politics. No matter how fierce the previous fight was, my mother always remained neutral and never said a word. But my mother took action regarding my brother.
Not only did he eradicate Prince Rong's influence, he also convicted Prince Rong of six major crimes. Finally, the emperor's uncle circled Prince Rong. Not long after, King Rong committed suicide.
His mother told him that the person who did it was Xia Ying. Although his mother didn't say anything further, he knew that this was what she meant. In addition to obeying the emperor's uncle's orders, Aunt Xia Ying also only obeyed orders from her mother. He was a little shocked when he heard the news. In his impression, mother is a very charitable person. Even a cat or dog* says that they are alive and should not be abused or tortured. His mother now told him personally that King Rong was killed by her.
He had heard before that his mother had killed people, many people. But he also knew that his mother killed someone because she couldn't. But now, King Rong has been trapped and is useless for the rest of his life. He doesn't understand why his mother still kills her.
Aunt Xia Yao smiled and said to him who was confused: "If the target of King Rong's murderous attack this time was the princess herself, the princess would not kill them all. But he was plotting against Mingrui. Now Mingrui is dead. Unsure. Mingjin, you and Mingrui are the princess's rivals, and no one is allowed to touch them. "I think if Tianlong hadn't been too powerful and had some merit, the princess wouldn't have killed him. he. Otherwise, it would not be a punishment of two months of smoking poppies, but his life would be directly punished.
He was thoughtful.
Seeing this, Aunt Xia Yao smiled again and said, "Your mother has never seen such a big storm. How could the princess allow herself to fall ill before finding Mingrui. Mingjin, you still have a lot to learn."
He was stunned at the time. Then she shook her head, Aunt Xia Yao said it was easy. Who doesn't know that my mother has been uneasy since her brother disappeared. I feel in a daze during the day and can't sleep at night. When I finally fell asleep, I had nightmares again and again. I opened my eyes and asked my brother if he could find it. During this time, my mother had a full head of black hair and a lot of white hair. It¡¯s not that I¡¯m not worried, I¡¯m holding on.
After his brother¡¯s accident, he realized more clearly than ever before that their family had always been plotted by others. King Rong is very scheming. If something happens to his brother, his mother will fall. My mother was the backbone of their family. If my mother fell, half of the two princes' mansions would also collapse. He was able to study in such a safe way because of his mother's protection.
Aunt Xia Ying said to him privately: "Mingjin, the Princess and the Marquis can still protect you from wind and rain, but what will you do when the Marquis and the Princess grow old? Mingjin, if you are still like this, How can the princess feel at ease in the future? Mingjin, you should shoulder your share of responsibilities. Only if you are strong can you support the family.?Be able to truly spend your old age in peace. Otherwise, the princess may not feel at ease even if she closes her eyes for a hundred years. "
He likes Aunt Xia Yao, but doesn't like Aunt Xia Ying. Aunt Xia Ying was always cold and didn't treat him well. He often poured cold water on him and even scolded him. But it is undeniable that Aunt Xia Ying's cold water is very useful every time, and every reminder is practical.
It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t know the situation at home. But his mother was blocking him from above, not wanting him to get involved. I don't want him to face those intrigues and intrigues too early. Over the years, he has also wanted to join the core, but his mother has never agreed and just let him study on the side. But his brother's incident made him realize clearly that he must grow up quickly.
He said to his mother: "Mom, I know you are doing it for my own good. But I have to bear my own responsibilities. I am your and your father's son, and I can shoulder my responsibilities." He couldn't keep letting his mother do it. Carrying this burden. In the past, when my father was away, my mother shouldered the responsibilities of the three of them. He couldn't let his mother grow old and still have to protect their brothers from the wind and rain. A hundred years later, they still have to worry about their brothers, especially him.
Mother smiled, patted his hand and vest, and said softly: "Okay." Mingjin has grown up, and after studying for so many years, it is time to put what he has learned to use. Although I feel distressed, when the child grows up, it is time to let him face the wind and rain on his own. (To be continued.
