"Sister, sister, what are you looking at?"
Shulin, who was still a child, always asked his sister this. When he was young, he almost grew up in his sister's yard, which was his sister's little tail.
But there is a big age difference between him and his sister, so he always doesn't know what his sister is thinking.
When he grew up and became sensible, his sister got married again. Although my sister often comes back and the two siblings see each other, it is different after all. Due to the great defense between men and women, and due to many things, my sister would only talk to her mother about anything.
Shulin was not as good at reading as his brothers, but instead became interested in martial arts. He once remembered that one year when Dalin was defeated, his sister told him that those women who were getting married were very pitiful. If there is a strong army and a strong horse, there will be no such thing as a marriage.
In fact, he can't remember many things when he was a child, but he still remembers his sister's expression when she said this.
Now that he has won the martial arts competition, he is one step closer to his goal.
Everyone wanted to celebrate for him, but he wanted to pick up his sister and talk to her more. My sister is still the same as she was when she was a child, she hasn't changed at all. She loves freedom so much, yearns for the sky so much, and feels very happy when she eats snacks from outside.
Shulin couldn't tell. In his heart, he didn't know how to chat with his sister. He could probably buy delicious food for her, and he would be very satisfied.
In fact, his sister had probably forgotten that he once slept on her bed with his belly exposed, but he remembered it very clearly.
On the day when his brother-in-law entered the cabinet, he came with his wife. His wife was found for him by his mother. She was a good-natured woman and a good hand at running the house. He just doesn't have much fun, he always speaks and does things in a strict manner, and he even makes people around him look bad on his behalf.
In fact, Shulin wanted to have an informed and knowledgeable person by his side. He didn't like couples to be polite, but it seemed difficult for his wife to do so. She preferred to maintain a kind of politeness.
You can't tell your mother about this kind of thing. After all, your mother found this daughter-in-law. Most people's lives are like this. They respect their wives as guests, and their concubine understands his heart better. After he talked about such doubts with his sister, he thought that her sister would teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, her sister said: "I can't take care of your affairs. You just have to control your own affairs between your own wives and concubines."
Of course Shulin knows how to handle this.
His sister told him a story about the family background of her nephew Zheng Miao. Zheng Miao's wife, Zhu, was originally the daughter of his concubine Dong. Dong's civet cat was replaced by the prince, and his wife's son was married to her. His own daughter was exchanged. After Zhu Lingxuan learned the truth, he was in great pain, but he could not go back with Aunt Dong for many years. Even if he knew the truth, he only recognized Mrs. Zhu as his mother.
Madam Zhu was different. After knowing all this, she wanted to recognize her biological son even more. Aunt Dong's son also knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Knowing that his father was not successful, he could still seek refuge with his aunt's mother's family, the Hongnong Yang family, and knowing that Aunt Dong was Replacing her legitimate son with a concubine would inevitably lead to internal strife within the family.
It was Mrs. Zhu who came forward to send Aunt Dong to the government to be punished. Aunt Dong's biological mother was served by Mrs. Zhu. When she saw that her daughter was about to be sent to the government, she drugged Mrs. Zhu by the way. Who knew that this would actually cause the old lady to linger? Some days, the last breath comes.
Speaking of this, my sister sighed: "The Zhu family has not lost any benefits. Mr. Zhu will not be able to serve as an official in his life, and he was exiled. Several young masters of the Zhu family were also exiled. This unfilial piety is a serious crime. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhu took care of her
With two sons and divorced (), brother Miao's daughter-in-law has not been having a smooth life these years? [((), fortunately she married into a family like our Zheng family, if it were someone else's family, she would probably be divorced."
The quarrels between wives and concubines are all for their own selfish reasons. If the wife suppresses the concubine too harshly, or the concubine favors the concubine too much, it is not a good thing for the family.
Shulin seemed to feel that he understood.
Later, during his official career for several decades, he behaved the same way with his wives, concubines, and subordinates. He liked everyone in his heart but did not necessarily have too much preference.
People should learn to exercise restraint.
From a small martial arts test, to later becoming the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Shulin slowly realized many truths.
It's a pity that when he takes the position of commander, his brother-in-law and sister will have to go back. At that time, Brother Qi and Brother Shu also had children around their knees. Speaking of which, my sister only had two children, Brother Qi and Brother Shu, in her life. Although she liked girls, she was not willing to keep her granddaughter by her side. .
He still didn't understand, so he looked at his sister and asked, "Don't you like little girls very much?"
"Yes, I prefer children born by myself. I don't like children born by others either."
Shulin sighed, my sister is still the same sister.
Early in the morning, he drove his horse over to see his sister off. Although her sister was older and had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she was still fair-skinned and handsome. When she saw him, she immediately waved.
Shulin, like her sister's little tail when she was a child, ran over quickly: "Sister."
My sister smiled and said, "I knew it must be you. You are more athletic than your brother. Shurui has been sitting all day for these years, and has become much older and fatter."
It was no longer easy for Shulin to gossip about his brother. He looked at his third brother-in-law again. Zheng Hao, who had been the cabinet minister for ten years and the chief minister for ten years, usually even he did not dare to look at casually. Now he has served as the chief minister. Retired, but still as thin as before. According to my sister, she secretly told her mother that the third brother-in-law was keeping in shape for the third sister.
So when the couple walks together, they are much younger than people of the same age.
"Sister, are you planning to go back to Xingyang?" Shulin quickly changed the subject, lest his brother come later and let him mistakenly think that he and his sister and brother-in-law were talking bad about him.
The brother-in-law took over: "Go back to Xingyang first to see how our family is doing. After that, we plan to go to Macheng to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Shulin was silent. His father was very old. Although he had clear thoughts, he was an old man after all. Although his mother was younger, she was also an older person. In the future, relatives will only meet once or less.
Therefore, when his sister and her husband went to see her, he was very happy: "My parents love my sister the most. If you can go, they will be very happy."
My sister smiled and said, "Don't show that expression. After we went to Huguang, we planned to go to Shuzhou from the Three Gorges. Your second nephew didn't want to be an official anymore and insisted on going with us, but I drove him away."
Shulin glanced at Brother Shu again and couldn't help but said: "He is the emperor's companion and a close minister of the emperor. How can he go?"
Jiashu pointed at his brother Jiaqi and said, "Second uncle, don't talk about me. You see, my brother is planning to go with his parents."
Jiaqi, the two nephews of my sister's family, is a truly erudite man. Not only did he get a first-class diploma, but he also came from a manufacturing background and did well as an official. Unexpectedly, he would now accompany his sister and brother-in-law home.
Jiaqi proudly supported her sister: "Second uncle, my mother allowed me to go to the academy to study at the age of eight. It was very hard, so she specifically allowed me to play with them."
Jiashu blew his beard and glared as he became more and more angry at these words. Shulin became even more amused when he saw his brothers bickering.
Let's say that the group of people waited for Shurui to come over, and then her sister and brother-in-law said goodbye to everyone. Shulin looked at their retreating figures, feeling reluctant to leave at first, but then relieved. !
