243 Secret
Chen Zeyi and Chen Guangrong returned to their small territory, covering an area of about 100 acres of barren land on the mountainside, which was smaller than Chen Xiansong's territory. It was more of a manor than a territory... But even so, it was pretty good. Many little nobles had titles, but they didn't even have a mu of their own fields except for a house.
After taking a sip of the clear water brought by the servant, Chen Guangrong said without any reason: "The man didn't say anything. Bai Qianxin actually took the initiative to bring the wine and expel the guest. Chen Xiansong, the little lord, is he too bad to take it. Is he the master or Bai Qianxin the master? It's useless, if it's me..."
"If it were you, before you got close to Bai Qianxin, you were killed by her as soon as you started to think of it." Chen Zeyi sneered: "Although I have never been married, I think people are very accurate. Whether it is Bai Qianxin or Bai Min, they are completely centered on Chen Xiansong. Even if they make any decisions without authorization, they will definitely be based on Chen Xiansong's interests. If our Chen family has such a mistress who is of top abilities and loyalty, not to mention prosperity, it can at least keep our Chen family safe for decades."
Chen Guangrong muttered: "It's not that boy who is lucky and looks like a slim face, so of course it's easy to attract women."
"You are a little white-faced." Chen Zeyi sat down, poured himself a glass of fruit wine, and said, "But I have never seen you make a water truck, you have never seen you make an off-season vegetable, nor did you make a recipe for salt. If our family has a recipe for salt, even if we grab it, we have to grab a few salt mountains. Why did Chen Xiansong be born in the Chen family in Heluo?"
"I, I am not a soul-thinking person." Chen Guangrong retorted angrily.
"You also know that he is a soul-thinking person. Even if he is a little white-faced, he is a little white-faced with the identity of a soul-thinking person. Even if you are the eldest brother's son, even if you are likely to become the head of the family in the future, you will always be lowered from him, unless you can become the king or become a person who can hold real power in the court."
Chen Guangrong was speechless and felt a little frustrated. After thinking about it, he said, "Uncle Six, why do we have to promise him such outrageous conditions and support him with all our strength? Isn't that saying that our family has always been his subordinate family in the future. We finally jumped out of the pit in Heluo hundreds of years ago, and now we have to jump back by ourselves."
"The Chen family in the world came out of Heluo. Five hundred years ago, it was originally a family. If you jump out, why not jump back?" Chen Zeyi snorted and said, "Besides, can you be sure that we jump back and they dare to accept it in full?"
He smiled like a poisonous snake, and Chen Zeyi said: "You are most likely to be the head of the family in the future. Remember it. Everything in the family is based on interests. There is no problem with the temporary personal honor and disgrace. If the family is strong, it is easy to find the place. If the family is not strong, no matter how hard your backbone is, you will be interrupted."
Chen Guangrong was silent. He looked at Uncle Six's wrinkled face. For a long time, he had a question. Now he couldn't help asking: "Uncle Six, why are you so kind to me? Even my father thinks I am a playboy and can't help but mud, so he put his mind on me. No one is optimistic about me, why do you think I can be the head of the family in the future?"
Chen Zeyi looked at the layers of ripples in his wine glass, and it seemed that some kind of fragrance came from the tip of his nose. The fragrance he would never forget in his life. After a while, he seemed to wake up slowly from a dream and said in a hoarse voice: "Because I like you."
The relationship between people is very strange, and the word "pleasant" is the best explanation. However, there are some exceptions. Alice always dislikes Chen Xiansong and often sarcasticizes her. However, today she is very happy and rarely praises Chen Xiansong in front of others. The reason is very simple. There is a piece of five-horned satin brocade on her bed.
Except for the two biochemical people, almost all the women in the family were on the scene. All the women looked at the silk on the bed, which was as beautiful as a rainbow. The little guy wanted to go up and touch it a few times, but her mother Catherine pulled her back and pretended to scold, "Don't touch it randomly, what if it gets dirty?"
The little guy looked at his hands, which were as white as milk, how could it be dirty? She couldn't help but pouted. Just as she was about to talk, she looked at the people around her and calculated carefully. Then she frowned: "Sister Alice, a piece of silk can make up at most four pieces of clothes, but there are six people in our family. What should I do?"
This problem suddenly made the other three women on the scene embarrassed. Getting a piece of clothes made of five-color satin brocade was almost the dream of most women's surnames, and even more so the dream of the Western female surnames. Now there was a piece of silk in front of them, and they insisted that they didn't like it and gave it to others. The three of them were reluctant to let it go. Seeing this situation, the little guy smiled cunningly and said, "I'll go find the teacher to solve this problem." Then he ran downstairs.
At this time, Chen Xiansong was chatting with Bai Qianxin, about the question raised by Chen Zeyi just now.
"When I was wandering in the Zhendan Kingdom, I did have some friendship with the Chen family in Heluo." Bai Qianxin sat next to Chen Xiansong, put her pocket on the boy's shoulder, and said nostalgic: "At that time, I had just had a relationship not long ago, and I didn't know how to refuse other people's kindness, so I accepted a little guy named Chen as a student. I didn't know whether it was a coincidence of fate or a deliberate temple. Every 20 or 30 years, I would be sent to the Zhendan Kingdom for some bloody tasks. Every time, I would go to the Chen family in Heluo to pick a child to teach for several months. Over time, my status in the Chen family seemed to have become very high."
"So just now, Chen Zeyi treated me as a member of the Chen family in Heluo. Are you going to make this misunderstanding a fact?" Chen Xiansong asked.
Bai Qianxin nodded: "Well, after all, it is a family that I have always taken good care of, and I can't let it go."
Chen Xiansong expressed his understanding. When a relationship arises, it is indeed unforgettable to meet someone who is good to him. This is normal.
"But don't get me wrong. My feelings for them are not love or family affection." Bai Qianxin leaned on Chen Xiansong's shoulder and exhaled like orchid: "It's like a feeling of looking at pets. After all, at that time I also treated those humans as close relatives of chimpanzees."
Chen Xiansong does not have that ability yet, so he naturally won’t think too much about these questions. Instead, he remembered a very important thing and asked: “Sister Qianxin, since you used to walk around the Zhendan Kingdom, do you know that there is a big family of 'Liang’ in Heluo?”
Bai Qianxin nodded: "I know that the Liang family has the hobby of collecting rare treasures in the world. It is a bit of a feud with the Chen family. It is difficult for the photo shooter to be brought back when it falls into their hands. They are not short of money. I think it's better not to be so anxious. The Liang family has an indescribable relationship with the royal family. They have control over many scholars and have military power. Xiao Min and I join forces, which may cause them to be seriously damaged, but the royal family behind them is difficult to deal with. Wait for three or four years, and when our strength is stronger, we will have some relationship with the Heluo Chen family, and then make a decision depending on the situation."
Chen Xiansong thought about it for a while,
"If it is an ordinary small country, I can use the power of the Sun Temple to oppress them and let them hand over the things, but the Zhendan Kingdom is a little different." Bai Qianxin smiled: "The people in that place are very strange. They call those who think deeply in the soul, and they are in their own way and reject the power of the Divine Power. The belief in the Sun Temple is difficult to unfold there. The key is that the sage Yan, who was more than two thousand years ago, said: "Zi doesn't say strange powers and messy gods. Do you think this sentence is very familiar?"
"The Analects of Confucius?"
Bai Qianxin nodded and said, "I don't know what the saint Yan is. He seems to know a lot of knowledge from the 21st century ago. Even the Sun Temple is not clear. Only you and me, Xiao Min, who really belongs to the 22nd century, knows some of them. However, the 'zi' he mentioned is a scholar, not Confucius."
After hearing such a secret, Chen Xiansong became a little interested: "Sister Qianxin, what's next?"
"If my chip memory is not wrong, historical records show that he can speak in June, he can read at the age of one, and stood at the gate of the palace at the age of three, shouting, "I am awake alone, everyone in the world was drunk, and the emperor of the Zhendan Kingdom almost treated him as an immortal. Then he was silent for several years. When he was ten, he wrote the enlightenment masterpiece "Three Character Classic" and once again amazed the world. At the age of twelve, he wrote "Li Xue" and then traveled in the Zhendan Kingdom, taking in 72 children and spreading his own thoughts. Those who heard it respected him as a saint."
Chen Xiansong opened his mouth wide: "Isn't this the way of Saint Kong?"
"That's true. His ritual studies have great resistance to the Divine Power. This incident aroused the vigilance of both the Sun Temple and the Dragon Clan. Because similar things have happened before, they planned to kill a group of people according to the old method and then a group of people." Bai Qianxin smiled faintly, showing nostalgia: "I have participated in those wars, and we have been winning from beginning to end. Our joint army of the Dragon Clan entered the border of the Zhendan Kingdom from the border of the Zhendan Kingdom. When we were about to fight to the palace, we found that we were going to lose. We don't know why we lost. At that time, there were more than 2,000 people in the Sun Temple, and only about 800 people were left. More than half of the Dragon Clan died. However, the Zhendan Kingdom was also very sacrificed, with countless soldiers and civilians killed and injured, estimated to be nearly one million. Yan Shengren himself had white hair at the age of 30, and his children were 72, and only nine were left."
Bai Qianxin sighed: "Then both sides had a tacit understanding and took a step back. The Zhendan Kingdom apparently recognized the supreme status of the Sun Temple, but we could not interfere in their political affairs. Then both sides worked hard to bury this history. After more than two thousand years, only a small number of people knew about this. Of course, ordinary people were still believers of the Sun Temple."
"Although only a few people know about this, the scholars of Zhendan Kingdom inherited the backbone left by their ancestors in that great war. They were not afraid of divine power, nor were they afraid of high-ranking officials, and scolded the royal family every day. As a result, the royal family was still afraid of them and issued a decree of 'Punishment of the scholars'."
"So, the government of Zhendan Kingdom should be very good, but why did I hear that they have been causing a peasant uprising in the country recently?" Chen Xiansong felt very strange.
