Chapter 615 They Will Be Thankful to Me
Sun Chonglou didn't know that everyone in his family was worried about his "understanding" or "innate wisdom", so after breakfast, he wanted to go outside to watch the fun.
"Do you want to go, old man?" Sun Chonglou enthusiastically invited Dou Jialan to go.
Dou Jialan shook her head. The Bo's Mansion provided food, lodging, and even clothes. She had no other place to spend the money, so it was just right to use it to pay off debts. Especially after Li Tian became pregnant, Jiang Qingzhi kept her at home more often to take care of her. She was less exposed to the sun and the wind, and her skin became much whiter and tenderer.
"Don't go!"
Dou Jialan said unhappily, "I said that you are either playing or playing all day long. Why don't you study hard and become a wise general who is good at both civil and military affairs?"
Sun Chonglou was surprised, "Old man, when did you become so ambitious? Besides, the young master is a wise general, why should I be a wise general? I'd rather be a brave general."
what!
Dou Jialan was surprised and looked at Sun Chonglou carefully. He was still the same silly boy. But what he said just now made sense!
No, it makes sense!
"gone."
Soon, the sound of Sun Chonglou greeting neighbors could be heard outside.
"Even when he was talking to the neighbors, Shitou was still cheerful. The neighbors said that if they couldn't hear Shitou's shouting every day, they always felt something was missing. If they didn't see him go out every day, they felt that the day was less glamorous."
At some point, Fu Cheng walked to Dou Jialan's side.
"Yes!" Dou Jialan said, "Shitou often makes me so angry that I want to hit him, but if he stops making me angry one day, I feel lost."
"There is an aura on the stone that can make people feel warm even in the cold winter. Even in a desperate situation, people can still see hope." Fu Cheng said: "Master said that this is vitality. The stone exudes vitality from the inside out, and it can also infect others."
"This..." Dou Jialan was stunned, "Isn't this something only great monks and sages have?"
"That's why I'm worried about Shitou." Fucheng had a worried look on his face. "Don't think that Shitou's words seem to be confusing or illogical, but if you think about his words carefully, you will find that they have a different meaning."
"Just like today." Dou Jialan said: "Listening to Shitou's words... is just like what Mr. Xu said, it seems like wisdom from the past."
"If the people at Dazong Temple knew that the stone had wisdom, what do you think they would do?"
"Come and persuade Shitou to go back."
"It's impossible to persuade him." Fu Cheng said, "Don't think that Shitou is easy to talk to, but there is a premise for all this, that is... this matter has nothing to do with the uncle. If the uncle had spoken, do you think Shitou would have followed Cheng Xing last time?"
"Then why didn't the uncle ask to keep Shitou?" Dou Jialan was puzzled.
"At that time, Master was weak and surrounded by dangers. Shitou was reckless, and Master was worried that he would be tricked by his enemies. So he let Shitou go with him." Fu Cheng smiled bitterly, "But you also saw that Shitou came back soon. He said that being a monk was too hard. Everyone thought it was true. But they forgot one thing."
"What's the matter?" Dou Jialan turned sideways and looked at Fu Cheng.
The wrinkled face showed some regret, "Shitou was a beggar in Suzhou. Being a monk is hard, but can the suffering of a monk be greater than that of a beggar?"
Dou Jialan was shocked. "That Shi Tou...he found an excuse to come back."
That silly guy, how could he have such a delicate mind?
"The uncle let him go for his own safety, but Shitou refused to let the uncle face those crises. So he found an excuse to come back."
Fu Cheng smiled and said, "That day, the master seemed normal, but we accidentally noticed that the master punched hard when he went out."
If Jiang Qingzhi was extremely happy, he would pump his fist to celebrate... Dou Jialan was stunned for a long time, "This is..."
"Brotherly love!"
……
Fu Cheng naturally wouldn't say these to Dou Jialan for no reason.
He turned around and went to the backyard.
"Last time, someone tried to matchmake Shitou, and I secretly met that woman. She was mediocre. Mediocre is not bad, but when I later sneaked into her home, I found that there was constant noise and noisy atmosphere. I was worried that she would follow her example..."
Since she became pregnant, Jiang Qingzhi stopped Li Tian from sewing, and all books she read had to be reviewed by Jiang Qingzhi first. Any novels that might cause excessive emotional fluctuations would be taken away.
That’s right, nowadays novels have become a way of entertainment for many women, and Li Tian is no exception.
She was looking at the account book at the moment. When she heard this, she looked up and said, "Your husband will definitely take care of Shitou's marriage personally. But since you said that the girl's family is making trouble, then no matter what she is like, this marriage must not be completed."
"Yes." Fu Cheng said respectfully: "I have been looking at this and that recently, and I always feel that this one is not good, and that one is not good enough. I know that this is because I am too concerned. But in the end, I want to know the woman's background and inside out."
"Do you have a candidate?" Li Tian asked sharply.
"Madam, what do you think...of Dou Jialan?" Fu Cheng asked, glancing at Li Tian.
"Dou Jialan?" Li Tian thought for a moment. "She's a nice person. She has good character. But she is from the Imperial Guards after all. The Imperial Guards are ruthless, and Shitou is not very scheming. If they get married, who will they listen to?"
Fu Cheng smiled bitterly, "This old slave has also thought about this matter, so I am hesitant."
"My husband meant that with Shitou's personality, he should either find a woman who can manage the household affairs, who must be strong. Or he should find a skilled woman who can take care of Shitou. As for the household affairs, I'll leave them to you."
Li Tian's words seemed ordinary, but they made Fucheng very happy and he said yes repeatedly.
Before leaving, Fucheng seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"You are someone my husband values. He even allows you to enter and leave the backyard freely, which shows that he trusts you. Just say what you want to say." Li Tian said with a smile.
Huang Yan'er felt warm in her heart as she listened at the side. Fu Cheng had been through a lot of hardships in the palace and was used to seeing the wickedness of human nature, but he still felt warm.
"It's not a bad thing for my lady to look at the account books, but after all..." Fu Cheng smiled and said, "I have heard that whatever the mother does during pregnancy, the child will like to do when he grows up."
——Can we do something else? For example, read some Tang and Song poems, or some articles. At the very least, we can read some military books, so that after the young master inherits the title, he can lead the army and become a famous general.
These were words from the heart. Li Tian nodded and put the account book down. "From now on, the account book will be handed over to Fucheng for disposal."
Fucheng: “…”
This is trust, but it is also troublesome.
Jiang Qingzhi returned to the backyard and Li Tian mentioned this matter. Jiang Qingzhi was stunned. "I actually forgot one thing."
"What's the matter?"
"prenatal education!"
Therefore, the maids and servants in the backyard often saw a strange sight: the man of the house and his wife walked side by side, and the man was either telling poems or stories...
"…The old witch was furious and said to bring Snow White here."
"...the gourd brothers rushed forward and beat the monster, forcing it to flee..."
What is an old witch?
Why did the princess use Snow White as her nickname? Isn't that too vulgar?
What about Calabash Brothers?
From then on, these new terms became a hot topic among the women in the backyard.
Jiang Qingzhi seemed to have forgotten the bet with Lu Song, and spent the whole day at home with his wife or petting the cat. Emperor Jiajing even heard that Jiang Qingzhi had got a few fishing rods and said that when the weather got warmer, he would go outside the city to catch a few fish for his wife.
"If he opens his mouth, where will there be a lack of fish?"
Concubine Lu Jing muttered as she held the clothes for Prince Jing to test.
"It's grown a bit more." Concubine Lu Jing said happily, "My son will definitely be taller than Prince Gao Yu."
This was a good start, and Chen Yan quickly started to make fun of it, "I think there's more than one!"
King Jing rolled his eyes and said, "Mother, I still have to go to the Imperial Hospital."
"Oh! Why are you studying medicine?" Concubine Lu sighed, but thinking of her son's bad habit of tomb robbing and dissecting corpses, she quickly said, "Go, go!"
After Prince Jing left, Concubine Lu Jing asked, "How is Prince Yu doing?"
Chen Yan was startled, and then she understood what Concubine Lu Jing meant, "Prince Yu went to Xin'an Lane yesterday and came back limping."
"That Sun Chonglou is a fierce general under Chang Wei Bo's command. Learning archery and horse riding from such a person, haha!"
Concubine Lu Jing smiled gloatingly, and Chen Yan said, "I also heard that the Armory Bureau has some complaints about Chang Wei Bo."
"What do you mean?" Concubine Lu has been busy recently and hasn't paid much attention to the outside world.
Chen Yan said, "A while ago, Chang Wei Bo and Lu Song made a bet. Chang Wei Bo said that the workshop outside the Mo family city was making something. If it could make the Armory Bureau completely transformed, then Lu Song would treat Chang Wei Bo to a drink. And vice versa."
"The Arms Bureau?" Concubine Lu Jing pondered for a moment, "I remember the eunuch in charge of the seal is... Chen Shi, right?"
"Your Majesty's poor memory makes me feel ashamed." Chen Yan smiled and said, "It is this person."
"So, what Chang Wei Bo said hit the Armory Bureau's lungs." Lu Jingfei narrowed her eyes, "Let the Armory Bureau be reborn... It means that there are many shortcomings in the Armory Bureau at present, and Chen Shi... is not in charge."
"Yes." Chen Yan said, "When Chen Shi returned to the palace, he told the eunuchs he was close to that he thought Chang Wei Bo was kind to us, but he didn't expect that he would use us to attack us. From now on, we will go our separate ways."
Concubine Lu sighed, "This transformation hasn't even taken place yet, and already I've offended Chen Shi."
"That's right." Chen Yan said, "Now even the palace is saying that Chang Wei Bo was so powerful at the court meeting this time. He thought he could make the Confucians speechless, so he ignored those people in the palace."
"Eunuchs are very extreme in their temperament. Regarding this matter... you should go to Xin'an Lane and tell them that it was me who said it. Ask Chang Wei Bo to find a way to make amends."
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, "My Lady, aren't you worrying too much?"
"Old Four's affairs will eventually require the help of Long Wilbur. Besides, he's been good to Old Four, isn't he?" Concubine Lu put down her teacup. "I will never forget anyone who has done me a favor."
Chen Yan went to Xin'an Lane, and as soon as she entered the Bo's Mansion, she saw Sun Chonglou chasing a cat.
"A lot."
Duoduo ran past Chen Yan's feet, and then like a gust of wind, Sun Chonglou also rushed past her.
Jiang Qingzhi immediately appeared, "The water is getting cold, hurry up and grab it!"
The sun was shining brightly today, and Jiang Qingzhi was about to give Duoduo a bath. Just as he was about to open his mouth, the cat spirit ran away like a human.
"Chen Yan?" Jiang Qingzhi stopped.
"Her Majesty sent me a message, saying that although the eunuchs cannot influence the outer court, they are extreme in temperament and it is not good to offend them too much. Her Majesty wants to ask Lord Wei to make amends."
Chen Yan felt that this was a good intention, and even if Jiang Qingzhi didn't express gratitude, he should at least appreciate it.
"I caught him." Sun Chonglou caught Duoduo. Jiang Qingzhi took Duoduo and stroked his back. "Tell the queen that even the most radical people know what is right and wrong."
"What Long Wilbur said..."
"They'll be grateful to me."
