Chapter 32 Bing Shi

"Unnecessary? What's the last?" Zhao said angrily: "It's absolutely necessary that I was forced to go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for the imperial edict! That's it, and in the end I ended up being an unfilial daughter!"

"Girl, I know..." Zhao Guang said: "This is a grievance for you, dad, mom, too... But we were all young at that time, and it was difficult for us to understand why dad did this. But now we are old and are all the people who are in charge of the family, and there are many children and grandchildren below... If you think about it now, maybe you will feel less resentment in your heart."

Zhao didn't say anything, Zhao Guang continued, "It was not unreasonable for Daddy to send you into the palace. Besides, how could he let you suffer from the bottom like other women in the talent show? Daddy only talked about this with his mother. Everyone knows that since you married Xiucai Lin, this matter was originally planned to be broken in your stomach. Today I can't help but talk to you, so just say it to the end, so that you won't be unclear in the future..."

"Our Zhao family looked glorious at the beginning, but in fact they were also terrifying step by step. Although my father was appreciated by the emperor, his foundation was not deep. If one person made a mistake in his work and there was no one who supported the beam in the family, not only would his father fall into it, but even hundreds of people from the entire Zhao family, the result would be hard to say..." Zhao Guang looked at Zhao and said, "Think about it, if you entered the palace at that time, we would have a more talker. With the support of the palace, our Zhao family would have another beam. Moreover, the people who were optimistic about at that time were indeed good. Dad believed that you would live a good life, so he was willing to send you into the palace..."

Zhao took a deep breath, but still didn't say anything. Zhao Guang looked at her and had to continue saying: "Girl, when I was young, I always thought that it was wrong for my father to do this, but now... brother, I am old, and now there are hundreds of people below. Although I see the scenery outside, I gradually begin to understand some things..."

"Now that the scholar Lin is gone, the Lin family is no longer a small family. Nearly a hundred people are watching your words and deeds. Whether they live well or not, whether the Lin family's future descendants can prosper, a large part of them are planning to be elders. They do things that are too small, we must not see... We are all people who are about to be buried. The only thought is to plan for their descendants, and you must be no exception. Think carefully, if the Lin family has those invisible crises now and there is a good way to put them in front of you, will you marry your daughter into the palace, or will you sit and see the nearly a hundred people in the Lin family step on the empty space?"

Zhao exhaled gently, without saying a word, but reached out to pick up the tea bowl and fiddled with the floating tea leaves one by one. Although his face was still calm, his hand holding the tea bowl was shaking slightly.

"Dad was angry that you didn't understand his heart at that time. The angry words you said were, but according to his temperament, the words you said were like splashed water, and you could not take them back. But you didn't know that from the time you left the house until he passed away, he would go around the plum garden every day, touch the railings there, and feed the goldfish in the pond... When there was no one, he often saw his eyes red..."

Zhao Guang said, his eyes turned red. Zhao's hand holding the tea bowl was trembling a little, and his eyes gradually filled with tears. Slap! The tea bowl was placed on the table, and a drop of tears fell. Zhao forced himself and said, "Stop talking!"

"Okay... OK..." Zhao Guang raised his head, blinked his eyes a few times, and said after a while: "When you were young, you liked to receive gifts from others during the Chinese New Year and holidays. Although you left home, your mother would prepare some things for you in those years. My father knew it, but never asked. Over the years, although my parents were gone, my brother has been preparing for you, thinking that one day I could deliver it to you so that you can know that no matter where you marry, you are always from our Zhao family... This time you gave those things to your mother's family, and my brother thought that this time you might be able to enter the girl's door, so he put all those things in a cabinet and delivered them to you... If you don't forgive your parents, then the cabinet will burn. If you think of them after all, open the cabinet, look at those things, and talk to them..."

When Zhao Guang said this, he could no longer help but feel sad. The dignified Duke Ding, a man in his seventies, had tears flowing down his face. On the other hand, Zhao could not hide it. His breathing sounded with a strong nasal sound, and his tears wet his clothes. He hurriedly took a veil and wiped it on his face.

Outside the main hall, Hong Yugang stepped in and was about to come in. When he looked at the situation, he hurriedly stopped, turned around and retreated quietly, stood quietly outside the main hall, and waved all the servants around him back.

"Ah..." After a long sigh, Zhao finally recovered and poured two bowls of hot tea again, handed it to Zhao Guang, and said, "What's the use of saying this now? Most of the life has passed, dead, old... Alas, it's all gone! Let's not mention it..."

Zhao Guang took the tea bowl and felt relieved in his heart. He knew that the girl's knot had finally relaxed and whether it was completely untied. It was a matter of time. "It's over... For us, we should let it go... But this person is still something that he can't let it go until the day he dies. Just like brother, I am now worried about a lot of descendants... Among so many people named Zhao, there are not many like me! Only a few generations... they have forgotten their true nature, they are not doing their jobs all day long, drinking, playing with birds and gambling. To be honest, I wish I could kill a few with my own hands!"

Zhao sighed, "To be honest, don't talk about your side, just call me the youngest son... The master and I have only four sons in total, and each of them is considered sensible, but this young man is the most worrying. He is not good at literature, is not good at martial arts, is weak in temperament, cannot endure hardship, and is good at eating, drinking, having fun... By the way, I beat him a few years ago, and it also involves your young master Sun!"

"Hmph!" Zhao Guang snorted coldly and said, "Don't mention that evil deed. I really can't figure out how my Zhao family gave birth to such a thing! This kid is the son of the second child. When he is old, he refuses to get married. He says that he doesn't like fake women... He knows that he is always gambled on birds and gambling. He said it several times, and the second child is reluctant to beat him. Later I realized that after a long time, the second child is afraid of crying in the side room... Damn! They don't look like men! In the end, I took it upon myself and beat him up with a bamboo stick, and locked up the evil deed for three months! Alas... If this continues, how can it be good..."

Zhao sneered: "Hey, don't worry so much! Let's go with your children and grandchildren. Isn't there a saying that children and grandchildren have their own blessings? Besides, you just say it. Don't look at the many people you kill on the battlefield, and if you act seriously at your children and grandchildren, can you do it?"

"Hehe, that's right, don't be a horse and a cow for your children and grandchildren! But when you get old, you're just a slut. If you don't do anything for your children and grandchildren, you always feel that you have no place to let go..." Zhao Guang laughed and said, "Don't say it's me, how good can you be? One of my two nephews fought in the north and the other went to the south and became a rank of officials. Don't tell me that you don't think about it at all, don't worry!"

"Oh..." After hearing this, Zhao sighed deeply. "Yes, just say it, especially the girl, I am a mother again. I travel thousands of miles... Whoever is a mother wants to grow wings and follow you."

After a while of silence, Zhao finally couldn't help asking: "At this point, I have something I want to ask my brother. There has been no news from Tianwen'er these days. I am an old lady in the mansion and I don't know anything. Since you are here today, brother, I want to ask, how is the war in the north going to be fought? Wen'er...he..."

Zhao Guang sighed and smiled: "Look, I can't help it, right? Hehe, people are old, this is all virtue!" Then he said seriously: "You don't have to worry about the war in the north. Our Jianchao and Beirong have fought for decades, and they all have a victory or defeat. Besides, this time the court sent the old man Guo Xiao, so I dare not say anything else. If it were just about defense, that old man had a number one talent."

"But... I heard that everyone in the Fang family died in front..."

"Hmph! Fang Yishan is a man! Before the imperial court sent troops, he made a decision. He only defended but not attacked in this battle. When spring blooms, they would inevitably retreat when summer comes. But he was greedy for merit and made a rash move, and he ignored the orders of military orders. In the end, he lost his life, and also implicated tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people! It's really... even if he dies, he cannot redeem his sins!"

"Then... if you say so, as long as Wen'er obeys the arrangements of Old General Guo, it will be fine?"

"That's natural!" Zhao Guang said confidently: "Haha, it's not that I, the uncle, praise my nephew. Wen'er is a good boy! Don't worry, there is also a No. 1 person in the army. Don't worry, fighting is very simple. As long as you find the pulse gate, you can fight, and there will be no trouble! If you want to tell me, what you need to worry about now is not Wen'er, but your second son, Lin Wu, the dignified Hannan governor."

"Ah?" Zhao was shocked when he heard this: "Wu'er? What's wrong with him?"

"I didn't want to tell you these words, but I was afraid that you would be more worried, so I would say a few words to you." Zhao Guang said, "Don't be too big of a nephew, but there are nails on that seat. The emperor asked Lin Wu to go to Hannan, but asked Lin Wu to get money for the court... But who are there in Hannan? There are support behind the scenes behind it. This money... is not easy to make! If you don't do it well, you will offend a lot of people. Hehe, speaking, my Duke's Mansion also has some industry in Hannan. If you really do it, you can't say that, my uncle can only follow the nephew's wishes, and it's hard to trip up his own people..."

"What should I do this?" Zhao was a little anxious: "Brother, only Wen'er and Wu'er are capable in my mansion, but now one is in the south and the other is in the north. If there is something wrong with them... This... what should I do now?"

"You are concerned about it, so it's so messy..." Zhao Guang sighed: "Don't worry, for the time being, Wu'er will not have any trouble. There are so many people in the court, since the emperor has sent him, one is to value him, and the other is to trust him. As long as he does his job well, even if he offends someone, as long as the emperor says ok, these will be no problem. Besides, although my niece has always been cautious in the palace, she is not a person who can't speak, right?"

"well……"

"Don't sigh, it's okay. I won't say anything else. If something really happens in the future, can I still be able to watch as an uncle?" Zhao Guang slapped his chest: "Don't look at my brother getting old, but he is still a duke. If he can't even protect his nephew, what kind of face will he have?"
