Chapter 216: Something Big Has Happened
When I was woken up by Zhuying, I thought the "big thing" she was going to say was related to Lihong.
I had agreed with Yihong before that she would implement the plan that could destroy my marriage with Shuang'er before the fifth day of the first lunar month. I always remember this, but I never urged her. Yesterday I didn't even go back to the officer's dormitory to see if I could find her and ask about the progress of the plan.
This is not because I am so strong, nor because I have unconditional trust in a little red, but because I can only rely on a little red for this matter, and I can't think of any other way.
The plan is in the hands of Yihong, and she is responsible for everything, and she can only be responsible for everything, because I have said that. Deliberate urging or inquiring will only waste her time and will not speed up the progress of the plan.
I don't want to waste even a second of the engagement. Unless we happen to meet, I will never go to her, urge her, or ask for anything.
And with a little Hong's personality, if I go to urge her or ask about the progress of the plan, she will definitely be angry and think I can't trust her. I don't want to make little Hong angry, so I didn't do this.
Yesterday was the fourth day of the lunar month, and there was still no news on Yihong. I was a little anxious, but I thought about it. With Yihong's personality, if she could not complete the agreed content within the agreed time, she would definitely come to me in advance and apologize to me. Since she did not come to me, it means that the plan was going very smoothly.
With this idea, I slept very peacefully last night. By the way, although I lived at Yujiang's house in the third and fourth days of the junior high school, Zhuying did not sleep with me these two days. I don't have much confidence in my concentration, and I may be able to hold it back at one time. If it is twice or three times, or if I have been together for a long time and have an atmosphere, I may be unable to help but "harm my energy".
But this is not the case.
People on the street usually subscribe to newspapers, at least one copy of Yuanxing Daily. It costs two cents per copy to buy Yuanxing Daily, and it costs seven yuan a year to order annual reports, which can save a few cents. The newspapers are not ordered by households, but by house signs, and they cannot be changed after ordering.
Yuanxing Daily cannot be ordered monthly, so you can only buy or subscribe to annual reports. The delivery cycle of newspapers is based on the Western calendar, from January 1 to December 31 of the Western calendar, which is considered a year-round newspaper. If you want to subscribe to annual reports, you can only book and pay one year in advance, and the delivery will only start on January 1 of the second year.
The Zhuying family and the Yujiang family are far away, but the landlord is the same person. The landlord is very good and he doesn't say much. He also booked the Yuanxing Daily for renting a house under his name.
I had a brief conversation with him, and he said that he should look at the person who rents a house. If the person is not good and it will harm the house, then he will definitely not rent it. If the person is good and can manage the house well, even if he pays less rent, it is fine. I think the landlord is reliable, so I paid off the rent for one year in one go.
Because she ordered newspapers, Zhuying had to pick up newspapers every morning. Although it was during the Chinese New Year, there were still newspapers every day because the newspaper delivery staff was all year round. She was used to starting reading after getting the newspapers, and walking back while reading.
I usually don’t sleep in. Generally speaking, when Zhuying went to pick up the newspaper, I was already awake. When she came back, she would tell me the contents of the newspaper, and then sat next to me, leaned into my arms, and read the newspaper with me.
I don’t read newspapers often. Although I often read books and like to read books, I read very few newspapers. It’s not that I don’t know current affairs, but because there are many people reading newspapers. If there is any news, everyone will spread it themselves. Just prick up your ears and listen. There is no need to spend this money.
But now, I have changed this idea. Although I can get news with my ears, I have to be one step slower. I went to the newspaper before, but I didn’t know that it was because I didn’t read newspapers often. But that time I didn’t have a memory. To be precise, I haven’t discovered this yet, so I still don’t like reading newspapers very much.
But now, I have a memory.
What? You ask me why I suddenly had a memory?
Friend, ask you a simple question. If a child makes a mistake, the parents will beat the child. Why is this? Is it because it makes the parents angry? Obviously not. Parents beat the child because the child makes a mistake and needs education to prevent him from making it again in the future. If he just talks verbally, the child may not remember it. But if he beats him and beats him in pain, he will remember it.
Of course, not everyone remembers beating. But whether others remember beating has nothing to do with me. I am a person who remembers beating very much. If I make a mistake, I will remember it once and beat me hurts me. I will remember it. This is not about holding a grudge, but about having a good memory, and I will not make the same mistake again in the future.
Now I am hurt by the headlines of Yuanxing Daily on February 11.
"Princess Zhaoxi and the 18-year-old legendary colonel tied the knot" - this is the main title.
"Don't be afraid of hardships, love a beautiful woman like a mountain; after eight years, the bad star is famous for its reputation" - this is the subtitle.
The moment I saw the title, I felt my head buzzing. If the 18-year-old legendary colonel was talking about me, then this report was about the marriage between me and the Princess Kefu, Tiansha Guxing.
When I saw the main text, I couldn't calm down.
The text said that "when I was young, I dropped out of school because of my family's poverty, and became a job." When I was working, I was appreciated by Duke Wen and recruited to join the army. In the early years, I was promoted to the second lieutenant and had excellent grades." In the army, "I was promoted to the captain and was hired to the Yuanxing Lu School." Now, I have someone else besides me who "trained the new army and was promoted to the colonel and thought it was a training."
Except for the fact that "I am appreciated by Wengong and recruited to join the army", the other parts are completely consistent with my personal experience. What's more, I directly quoted the news from a few days ago, saying that I was the school official who rescued a pregnant woman and ran side by side with the rickshaw driver. It was a foregone conclusion that I went to the newspaper again.
I was mentally prepared for this content because I already knew that Wen Xiangwu wanted to set me a role model, and what made me panic was the content of the second half.
The main text says that Princess Zhaoxi, the princess who is the husband-killing princess, Tiansha Guxing, "I met in childhood and first met with siblings" and "I became a love in my youth and decided to live a lifelong life." Because the main text is written from my perspective, the "younger" and "younger" here are all about my age.
The newspaper wrote very detailed information about the reason why we "become a relationship" and "privately settle for life". They said that Princess Zhaoxi died of her fiancé and was detained as a princess of Kwok. Tiansha Guxing, she wanted to jump into the river to seek death, but was saved by me. After Princess Zhaoxi was saved, she cried bitterly, saying that she would never marry again and would be lonely for the rest of her life. At this time, I bravely stood up and said to Princess Zhaoxi: I marry you!
Of course, this is just my personal vernacular translation. The original text uses a lot of gorgeous rhetoric and exquisite rhetoric techniques to describe the whole process very touchingly. After that, I overcome all difficulties, worked hard, and climbed to my current position, and got the status of being able to marry the princess. In order to marry Princess Zhaoxi, despite everyone's opposition, I went to Prince Rui's house to propose, and moved Prince Rui with full sincerity, which made him agree to the marriage.
However, as the protagonist of the story, I don’t know that there is such a thing at all. It’s not that there is something wrong with my memory, but that it really doesn’t exist!
Logically speaking, this report was written under the instruction of Wen Xiangwu.
Because of this, I don’t understand why Wen Xiangwu did this. Did he want to further shape my role model image or use this method to make me get in touch with the royal family? What does this have to do with the formation of the new infantry regiment? Is something happening to the court?
Because I had too many thoughts, my mind became more and more confused and I quickly became anxious.
