It's funny to say that this incident that almost reversed the trajectory of the young businessman's life, she was not as interested in it as Cheng's mother's dung tank at first.

The sage cloud, eat without saying a word or sleep without a word. The vast majority of members of the Cheng family must disagree with this sentence. At least Cheng's mother and Cheng's father can't do it. They often quarrel while eating, and the reasons for arguing are mostly speechless.

On this day, the mother and son were choked up again because of the extensive development of family farming and the delicate operation. The origin of the topic was Cheng Cha. Although she was pure filial piety when she talked about it, what should I say, there is never a lack of good intentions to do bad things nice guy.

"...Tu Gaoshan has beautiful scenery and the sky is high and airy. It's the first time I've seen my granddaughter. And it's also close to the capital. Next time I go to Zhuangzi to check accounts, I'll take my eldest mother there to play." Cheng Cha smiled. docile.

Mother Cheng, who was sitting high in the middle of her head, glanced at her son, and said faintly: "Alas, you face saints, horse racing horses, leave me alone as an old woman, lonely and pitiful!"

Cheng Shi put down the lacquered wooden chopsticks and shouted loudly Said: "Didn't my mother say that spring will come to plant seeds, aphids will breed, and you want to stay to take care of the crops in the back garden? But mother, don't be like before, what to plant when you are full, stupid and rough. , now we are not hungry anymore! Look at the curls, what kind of courgette and white glutinous rice was cultivated last time, it is delicate, crisp and refreshing!"

He didn't want to say, the last time he played with his daughter a few hours He distributed fresh courgettes and white glutinous rice to his colleagues, relatives and friends. The other party's surprised appearance made him feel that his family's background was a bit richer - cultivating fine fruits and vegetables in anti-season, even ordinary powerful families may not be able to get them out.

"Shuzi! What are you talking about!" Cheng's mother slapped the table and was furious, "You say I can do it, but don't talk about my fields and crops! Every time I go back, I will put a thick pile of compost, and the corn and wheat that I grow are sweeter than other people's. "

By the way, there's that composting tank, whether it's smoked or not! You still remember the tank in the back mountain of your hometown. I told you several times not to bury it so low, and then when you went up the mountain, you left your foot empty...

" It was an excellent topic for dinner. Cheng Song and Cheng Shao Gong shook their shoulders and lowered their heads and snickered. Cheng Cha was embarrassed with her chopsticks.

Cheng Cha was terrified, and hurriedly said, "It's all my fault, and I shouldn't have said something that upset the eldest mother..."

"Oh, cousin, don't interrupt, it's none of your business, my father and eldest mother are relatives. Mother and son are so... um, so close! Didn't my mother and I quarrel before!" Shao Shang was born in the market, and this kind of joyful and lively atmosphere was seamless.

The Cheng family brothers secretly went to see their mother, only to see Mrs. Xiao caressing her forehead and sighing.

Shao Shang eagerly asked, "Father, did the eldest mother fall into it later?"

"You evil obstacle, are you expecting your old body to fall in?!" Mother Cheng shouted with a heavy snort.

Cheng Shi hurriedly came to protect the emperor: "Don't be so loud, you are timid, don't scare her!"

"She is timid?" Mother Cheng pointed at Shaoshang and yelled at her son, "Your eyes are sullen, too. Can't you get fat?!"

"

—Yong'er!" Mrs. Xiao slapped the food table hard and shouted loudly, the whole family was stunned by her, and for a moment forgot to fight.

"...Tell me, what have you seen or heard about Taixue today?" Mrs. Xiao finished the second half with a pale face.

Cheng Yong let out a big breath, he thought what was wrong with him, and said, "Go back to my mother, something really happened today. King Yong's clan rebelled!"

When this statement came out, everyone except Cheng Shi was shocked. Madam said solemnly: "King Yong? He really has always had different intentions. Are they plotting rebellion in Fengyi County in the northwest of Yongzhou?"

Cheng Yong cupped his hands and said, "Mother is right."

"Yongzhou Fengyi County, that's not it . We are only separated by Hongnong County?" Cheng Song raised his head and recalled the topographic map.

Mother Cheng was shocked: "What, are you going to hit the capital..." Her voice trembled, and she was about to get up.

Cheng Cha hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and Shao Shang also came to help, and said with a smile, "Mother, what are you afraid of? Didn't you see the eldest brother sitting here in a good manner? If the matter was urgent, he would have come back in a panic to report!"

Cheng Shi laughed loudly and said, "We are so smart!" Then he turned his head and said to Mother Cheng, "I was about to say this. Feng Yi is not far from the capital, so I can't hide this, if my mother heard about it outside. What, don't be afraid and don't panic, this thing can't be troubled!"

"Father said yes!" Shaoshang said, "Didn't my uncle and aunt and I encounter a rebellion this time, and it disappeared in just a few days. Now, the heads are hung up and hanged by the owls one by one, but my uncle won't let me see!"

"Go, go, what are you going to see as a little girl!" Cheng Shi reprimanded in a low voice, her daughter is fine with everything, just The fear of lack of heart is powerful, referred to as lack of heart.

Shao Shang shrank back sullenly, she still wanted to ask Mother Cheng if she fell into the dung tank.

"My son, is this King Yong really unable to fight? I heard that King Yong's family was an amazing family in the previous dynasty!" Mother Cheng was still worried, but she sat down tremblingly.

Cheng Shi sneered and said, "It's just too amazing, and something happened later, and he became emperor. No, I can't bear the honor of the past! As I said, wealth and honor are destined, and King Yong and his son will not have that face. "Father !"

"Father, do you also see faces?" Cheng Shaogong was interested, "Then tell your son how they face."

"Go away!" Cheng Shi glared at his son, and continued, " Mom, don't worry, it's all right! His Majesty has sent several passers-by to Fengyi County this morning. Oh, Ling Budo is among them." When he said this, he glanced at his daughter carefully, but saw The daughter is no different.

Mrs. Xiao saw that her husband could not be relieved, so she added: "Aunt Jun, listen to me. At first, King Yong and his son saw that the situation was not right, and they surrendered to His Majesty. ', he refused to live in the capital like the rest of the people who came here. Your Majesty agreed to avoid a disaster of swordsmen. But you think, how wise our Majesty is, how can we not be prepared at all. Don't worry, Jun-aunt , Your Majesty has gradually taken over King Yong's military power and taxation power over the past few years, and has set up several hoops around Fengyi County

. After all these sensible words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"...However," Mrs. Xiao looked at Shaoshang worriedly, and asked her husband, "Will this matter be in the way?"

"Ah." Shao Shang was listening and nodded again and again, but the topic suddenly changed. Come on yourself.

——Like many young people who grew up in the comfortable and peaceful era, Shaoshang is not a very politically sensitive girl. Especially in a purely scientific research and technology major like her, Kirchhoff's law will not change whether the leader changes Fourier or Fourier, whether Amei fights the 'evil country with weapons of mass destruction'.

Current affairs news has only two uses for her: she is not good at answering questions about hotspot situations during ideological and political exams, and she is not rich when the first batch of laboratory project funds are approved (directly determines the professor's mood).

Shao Shang couldn't figure out what the revolt of a father and son in the next county had to do with him.

Seeing her daughter's dazed expression, Mrs. Xiao sighed, "King Yong's surname is Xiao, and his heir is the one who married He Zhaojun."

Shaoshang turned around in his head before he realized, "That's... that Xiao. The prince?"

Mrs. Xiao nodded, Cheng Song didn't know much about this kind of marriage, and quickly asked: "But grandma, isn't General He guarding Feng Yi by order? Everyone

knew what Cheng Song meant, and Mother Cheng was again worried about whether Feng Yi could keep it up. Only Cheng Shao Gong asked, "But what does this have to do with the curl?"

"...Yes, what does this have to do with me?" Shao Shang was still puzzled, "There are two ways to do this. Either General He is loyal to the country, fights to kill the treacherous King Yong and his son, and comes back to receive the reward..."

"Or General He and his in-laws are on the same page, The He family has also become a traitor, so it won't be a problem!" Cheng Shaogong added.

Cheng Shi didn't care: "My son is right, your grandmother is overthinking it."

"No, there is a third way." Cheng Song laughed, "It's that General He was bewitched and paralyzed by his in-laws, and he failed to do so. Take precautions in time, if this is the case, he will also be charged when he comes back! I can't say, the opportunity for my father to make merit has come again!"

Shao Shang praised loudly: "Second brother, see you! ... But my father doesn't go, and let others take the credit." The

four laughed together. Mrs. Xiao looked at the four father and son with relatively smirks, and smiled bitterly. She looked up and saw the same worry in her eldest son Cheng Yong's eyes.

...

Facts have proved that it is not something that ordinary people can do, because none of the expectations of the Cheng family during this evening's banquet came true. Just three days later, news came from the former convenience, saying that the rebellion of King Yong had been quelled.

The Cheng family brothers and sisters were all stunned. This time, Mother Cheng's worries disappeared, and she laughed loudly: "How powerful is King Yong's blowing, it seems that it is nothing more than that, the prefect of the county surnamed Fan at Azhi's place lasted for more than ten days.

" Two days later, Cheng Yong brought detailed news again.

It turned out that in order to kill the rebels as soon as possible, all of General He's adult sons were killed in battle, and he himself was seriously injured and died on the way back to the capital. This time, even as slow as Cheng's mother, it doesn't feel good: "Ayong, is there anyone in the He family now?"

"Yes. There is also the only daughter He Zhaojun and a youngest son who is only four years old." Cheng Yong His worried eyes turned to the younger sister, "Your Majesty has named the He family as An Chengjun, enjoy some soup and mum, and the youngest son will be the noble."

Shao Shang sat silently by the window, a small ray of temperatureless sunlight fell on her face After a long time, he said: "It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided."

Xu Shi's words became a prophecy. Three days later, Yanghou Jizun, who was ordered to go to welcome General He back to the small court meeting, in front of the ministers, The two last words of General He before his death were repeated in a straight-forward manner:

"My minister is a wild and reckless husband, and it is a lifelong blessing to be at the side of Your Majesty. Although I die without regret, I hope that Your Majesty should not worry about it.

" The youngest son of a pair of weak girls, Zhaojun, the daughter, was originally engaged to the Lou family, but now Xiao Ni is either executed or captured, the previous marriage has been broken, and I hope to reconnect with the Lou family."

When he heard the last words, the emperor burst into tears and mournfully said, "The heaven has damaged a loyal and good general of me!" The whole dynasty followed and wept. When he heard the second last words, the emperor stopped grief for a while, and everyone turned their attention to Lou Taipu.

Ji Zun did not return to his own ranks, and continued to report: "The old minister watched General He's expression. I think he didn't know that Lou Taipu's nephew was engaged to Cheng, so he said this.

" Wan Songbai, who wiped away his tears, was startled for a while, but at this moment he finally recovered: "Exactly! General He is a reasonable person. If he knew about this, he would not..."

"Of course—" Ji Zun was expressionless, Don't look at the people with different expressions, "He's tragic and solemn, although the etiquette is inconsistent, but you can be merciful. The old minister, please make your decision!" The

emperor sat quietly on the head, the twelve jade beads under Xuan's crown swayed gently, and the ministers could not see it. The look of the Qing monarch.

Lou Tai servant was dumbfounded, and realized that what he said at this moment was wrong.

"What decision is it to decide?!" Wan Songbai quickly said loudly when he saw that the situation was wrong, "Firstly, General He did not know that Lou's son was engaged before he died, and secondly, it is his duty to be a courtier and be loyal to the country. , I don't like to say it, can it be that as long as you make a merit, you can claim it?!"

Ji Zun said, "Sir Wan is also right. Your Majesty's reward is one thing, but robbing another family's marriage is another. It's another matter."

General Wu stood up abruptly, and said in a loud voice, "You can't say that! The He family is tragic, and everyone is dying, so why can't there be mercy!"

Ji Zun turned to Wu Da ! The general said, "According to the meaning of the general, Your Majesty should decree to complete this matter? The general can understand it. If this example is open, if the death and injury of a family are more tragic in the future, will they rely on the credit to seek things from other families? For example..."

The old man with a half-haired hair suddenly pointed behind the person, pointing directly at the Queen's younger brother Xuanhou: "Like Xuanhou, when His Majesty bestowed a mountain of origin as the ancestor of the Xuan family, who knew that this mountain was originally Xuzhou Zhen At first, the Zhen family was the enemy, so that's all, but later the Zhen family led the crowd to vote. If the Zhen family's children make great contributions in the future, will the mountain of Xuanhou's family still not be returned?"

General Wu was dumbfounded, and then retorted: "This, the tomb of my father and grandfather is a big one, and I can't send it around. But this marriage, aren't the Lou Cheng family not married yet?"

Ji Zun nodded: "General General That's true. Now General He still has a young son. If someone fights for the country in the future until the heirs are cut off and only one daughter is left, then can the daughter's favorite husband and wife be divorced and then remarried? Among them How to grasp the proportions."

General Wu was completely misfiring this time, and angrily sat back in the ranks.

Just when Wan Songbai smiled and thought that the old man Ji was a friend, Ji Zun said again: "However, the He family is loyal and brave, and General He's last words should be obeyed."

Wan Songbai opened his mouth and looked at this The stubborn old man finally understood after a long time.

——This kind of thing cannot be directly ordered by the emperor, otherwise it will become a practice, but the Lou Cheng family can break off their marriage on their own, so as to fulfill the 'poor but loyal and brave' He family.

...

After the court disbanded, Wan Songbai hurried to Cheng's house and told Cheng Shi, his righteous brother, who did not attend the Xiaochao meeting, and Mrs. Xiao all these things.

Cheng Shi was displeased and said, "Isn't there any other way of rewarding heroes? You have to come and entertain us."

Mrs. Xiao was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "The servant of Lou didn't say a word?"

Wan Songbai wiped his sweat . Nodding forcefully: "That old boy looks like he has cut his tongue!"

Mrs. Xiao sneered at the corner of her mouth: "What are we in a hurry, the root of this matter lies in the Lou family. Wait a minute, look at the two rooms of the Lou family. What do people say?"

Cheng Shi said solemnly, "That's right. It's not that we have to have Ayao as a son-in-law, but if it's too easy for us to retreat, people in Mandu City will think that our Cheng family can be deceived. It's over!"

Sitting in the cubicle, Shaoshang quietly listened to the discussions of the elders, and suddenly came up with an interesting metaphor: Suppose you worked hard to be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, you may not have such good luck in the future. , but there is a martyr who died in the line of duty, and his daughter needs to occupy your university place. Do you want to let it or not?
