"Will it happen?" , do you really think so?"
"Probably not." Shen Cha raised an eyebrow at Xue Ruitian, looked at Mrs. Ning and said, "Children don't think so much."
"General, what do you mean, I think too much?"
"This should be the speculation of you and Ning Changguo. I guess Ning Changnian thought so, right?"
"Yes!" Mrs. Ning nodded, "Indeed, we think he should think so. The general also said just now that that kind of hatred is not generated in a moment, but overnight, and has been there since childhood. .”
"But Ning Changnian at that time would not have thought so much. He simply did not want to leave his parents and stay in Xijing City."
"To be more clear." Shen Haolin added, "It's not that Ning Changnian doesn't want to leave Xijing City, it's that he doesn't want to stay alone with Ning Changguo."
"That's what my brother said." Shen Cha nodded, "It's easy to guess what he thinks. He can either go home with his parents or stay in Xijing City with his parents. As long as he is not alone with Ning Changguo, he can do whatever he wants. "
"Really?"
"Although children are young, they are still very sensitive to people. Their intuition is very accurate. Who is good to them and who is not good to them? Who can be close to them? Who needs to keep a distance? Who should be kept away from?" They keep a respectful distance, and they clearly understand that no matter how many disguises or sweet words the adults put in, it is useless in front of them. They don't listen to that, they only do things based on their own feelings. And Ning Changnian had no so-called love or hatred for Ning Changguo at first, and his instinct told him to stay close to this country but not at a distance."
"Oh?" Madam Ning was stunned, "Why is the General so sure?"
"Has the old lady never had contact with children under six years old? Has she never lived with them?"
"Yes, no." Mrs. Ning nodded, "To be honest, I don't like children very much. I think children are very annoying and noisy." She looked in the direction of the dungeon, "That's Xiao Chengzi's little nephew, and I don't like children very much." I don’t like him very much, even if he doesn’t make any noise and just sits there quietly, I still can’t accept it.”
"So, the old lady doesn't know children very well. They don't have so many twists and turns, and their emotions are very direct." Shen Cha thought of Shen Jiu's trembling appearance when he was a child, and sighed softly, " The old lady knows that we have a younger brother who is a few years younger than us. He has been looked after by us since he was a child, so he has a good understanding of the child's mind."
"Tell me, why was Ning Changnian so afraid of Ning Changguo when he was a child?"
"He's not afraid, but he doesn't like it, he's unhappy, because around his parents, he can do whatever he wants and do whatever he wants. If he wants to go to the house, he can do it. Even if he does something extreme, no one will blame him, and his parents will not punish him. Of course, at his age, he cannot do anything particularly extreme. In short, there is no scruple, no need to Act by looking at people’s faces.”
"What you mean is that Ning Changguo will not allow him to do such a thing in Xijing City. He feels very restricted, right?"
"Yes, he has lived in Xijing City for more than half a year, and he should know very well that there are many rules here, and his brother also has many requirements, so he cannot act arbitrarily."
"So, he doesn't like this kind of life and likes to be unrestrained, right?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Mrs. Ning thought for a while and said, "Well, your statement makes sense. Ning Changguo also mentioned it when he said it I have been here. When Ning Changnian was young, he was very naughty and mischievous in his hometown. It was really a headache. Almost every day, people came to complain at home, saying that Ning Changnian and his followers beat their children. , climbed their tree, stole eggs from their bird's nest, etc. Ning Changguo said that his head hurt when he heard it. He didn't expect that this younger brother had so many tricks to make trouble, and he didn't bring the same thing every day."
"It's indeed interesting." Xue Ruitian touched his chin
, looked at Shen Haolin, "We were quite naughty when we were kids, but we weren't like this, right?"
"Yeah!" Shen Haolin nodded, "It's indeed a bit too much."
"It's not that the couple in Zhongzhou didn't care, it was because they couldn't do it, so they thought of handing it over to Ning Changguo. They specifically asked Ning Changguo what he wanted, and Ning Changguo agreed, so they took the People come to Beijing. Moreover, a very important point is that Ning Changnian has reached the age of enlightenment. It is not that there are good enlightenment teachers in Zhongzhou, but they can't control Ning Changnian. If this continues, this child will really He became what people call a playboy. Ning Changguo agreed to their request, which made them overjoyed. They probably thought that Ning Changguo and Ning Changnian had no feelings and would not agree. Unexpectedly, they actually agreed, so, I took Ning Changnian to Beijing."
"Ning Changguo probably wants to find a helper for himself. What he will do in the future will be more secretive. If he finds someone else who doesn't know his roots or background, he won't like it. If it's someone who has been with him since he was a child, then he won't like it. He was raised by himself, and is easier to control and believe." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes, "That couple in Zhongzhou probably didn't expect that their own son would fall into the abyss in the future."
"This is what they deserve. It is the result of their love for vanity." Mrs. Ning sighed softly, "The couple in Ningchang Kingdom and Zhongzhou each have their own plans. They arranged everything for Ningchang Nian. Okay, but they didn't ask Ning Changguo whether he agreed to this arrangement. Of course, they had never thought about this issue. Regardless of whether Ning Chang Nian Tong agreed or was happy or not, their plan would not change. So, originally Ning Changnian thought that his trip to Beijing with his parents was just to see his brother whom he had never met before, and to gain some knowledge and return home with his parents. However, he did not expect that after living in Xijing City for half a year, he did not even have time to say goodbye to his parents. His parents left him with his brothers and left."
"Leaving without saying goodbye?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "This is indeed going too far. Children should not be treated like this. After this happened, the couple in Zhongzhou felt speechless in Ning Changnian's heart. No matter what they say in the future, Ning Changnian will not believe it and will think that they are lying to him. Even if their words come true, it is impossible to save their image in Ning Changnian's heart."
"Yeah!" Shen Haolin nodded, "Children don't understand those twists and turns. They used to lie to Ning Changnian that they came to visit their brother, and now they abandon him and leave secretly. No matter how the couple explains, the child No child will accept it."
"It seems that you have really gotten along with such a big child, and you know what the child is thinking." Mrs. Ning sighed, "Ning Changguo also said that for some reason, Ning Changnian and his The relationship between my parents is not very close. I think it is because I left my parents at a young age and no longer live with them. Even though the Zhongzhou couple come to Xijing City every once in a while, it still doesn't make any difference and they are still not very close."
"That's how it is." Shen Cha nodded, "In Ning Changnian's heart, their credibility has long been gone, so even if he knows that they had their difficulties back then, even if he knows what a bastard he was when he was a child, his parents had to do this I can do it, but I still can’t forgive them, and I still can’t get close to them.”
"Is there a possibility that he couldn't do anything to his parents, so he transferred this resentment to Ning Changguo?"
"It's not impossible." Shen Cha thought for a moment, nodded towards Mrs. Ning, and said, "If the elder brother doesn't agree with what his parents are doing, if the elder brother refuses them to leave home and come to the capital, their family will not be able to It will be like this now.”
"It turns out that's where the resentment comes from."
"Have you never thought that such a possibility would be possible?"
"No, I have never thought about it." Madam Ning sighed softly, shook her head towards Shen Cha, and said, "Speaking of which, although Ning Changguo has three children, they are all the children of Miss Lu Er and his two His aunt came to raise him, and he himself didn’t think much about the child. He didn’t know how to raise the child, he didn’t know what they were thinking, and he didn’t understand the child’s mind.”
"That's for sure. How could Ning Changguo be so busy raising a child by himself? Besides, Ning Changnian was already very old when he had a child."
"That's right. At that time, Ning Changnian had already gone out to live alone. You said before that when he was in the East Palace, he was very good at lecturing with you, but he was only good at lecturing and nothing else. He himself Tell me, when Ning Changnian first stayed in the house, he had a special headache and didn't know how to deal with this kid."
"Ning Changnian was abandoned by his parents, and he didn't see his brother very often. He looked fierce and stern, but he was actually very fragile. But how did he show this fragility? He used all kinds of mischief to show it. , the more uneasy he feels inside, the more annoying he will be and do some things that are intolerable in Ning Changguo's eyes." Shen Cha took a sip of tea and continued, "Actually, inside he is I was thinking, if Ning Changguo can't stand him anymore, can he be sent back to his parents?"
"That's what he actually thinks?" Mrs. Ning smiled helplessly, "Ning Changguo and I didn't think of this. We thought he was deliberately provoking, but we didn't expect..."
"I've said it before, children don't have so many twists and turns. Although they sometimes won't tell you clearly that they want to go home or return to their parents, they will use various actions to To show it. Or maybe he had already made this request before, but was rejected by Ning Changguo, so he thought of sending him away after irritating Ningchang Guo and making Ningchang Guo intolerable to him. As a result, he I didn’t expect that Ning Changguo didn’t get what he wanted, but instead plotted against him, right?”
"Yes!" Mrs. Ning nodded, "Ning Changguo didn't tell me what specific method was used, and I didn't ask. I just knew that later on, this kid stopped acting like a monster. He obediently studied with Ning Changguo and obeyed Ning. Chang Guo's arrangement, but he didn't have a very good attitude towards his sister-in-law, Miss Lu Er. He always liked to make trouble for her and refused to listen to anything she said. He also complained to his sister-in-law in front of his brother. It gave his sister-in-law a headache."
"No amount of knowledge can make up for defects in character. Besides, the couple in Zhongzhou should not be very satisfied with Miss Lu Er. After all, their daughter-in-law's background is much higher than theirs, which they have no way of contacting. .Although Ning Changnian is not close to his parents, this inferiority complex comes from deep in his bones. He should very much agree with his parents’ attitude towards his sister-in-law. With the same stance, how does he treat his sister-in-law and his parents do not I will blame him, but as for his brother, I’m afraid he won’t care about such trivial matters in the back house.”
"Well, his hatred for Ning Changguo probably has this reason. For Miss Lu Er, Ning Changguo often quarreled with Ning Changnian, asking him to stop messing with his wife and stop making trouble in Miss Lu Er's shop. "
"He also went to Miss Lu Er's shop to cause trouble?"
"Yes, when Ning Changnian grew up, he did not become an official, but went into business." Mrs. Ning sighed softly, "Speaking of this, I want to say something for Ning Changguo. Nian, a younger brother who is not even remotely related by blood, has already exhausted his benevolence and righteousness by reaching this point. Even a true brother cannot do this."
"That's true!" . In comparison, the relationship between Ning Changguo and Ning Changnian is already very good. Although Ningchang Guo has an element of use, even if it is to have a useful helper in the future, it is very difficult to teach him so carefully. It’s worth the effort, isn’t it?”
"What the Marquis said is true." Mrs. Ning nodded, "Ning Changnian's business capital was also given by Ning Changguo. Originally, Ning Changnian wanted Miss Lu's dowry shop, but Ning Changguo disagreed. Changnian had a quarrel with his brother because of this. In the end, both parties took a step back. Miss Lu Er could not give her dowry, but Ning Changguo gave Ning Changnian a sum of money to open his own shop. What kind of business did he have? If you are interested, just go and make a living, Ning Changguo will not care about it."
"The results of it?"
"The result is that Ning Changnian was still dissatisfied and opened a shop similar to Miss Lu Er's. He had previously taken a liking to a rouge shop owned by Miss Lu Er and wanted to get it and make it his own, but he didn't expect that... Miss Lu Er refused to give it, and his brother also stood beside Miss Lu Er.
side. He felt very uncomfortable, feeling that his brother, as his parents said, was from the same family as Miss Lu Er, and did not regard them as family members at all. "
"So?" Xue Ruitian frowned, "He's going to steal someone else's business?"
"Yes!" Mrs. Ning nodded and shook her head helplessly, "Unfortunately, he didn't know it at first. On the surface, the shop belonged to Miss Lu Er, but in fact it had already been owned by the Qinglian Sect. thing."
