Chapter 27
In the two days after returning to Fuqing, the brothers Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Jiaxin did not speak. Zhao Yong saw that the two brothers were so distant, and he was also anxious.
However, it was useless for him to be anxious. With his identity and age, he couldn't say anything to the eldest son. Although the third son was young, he was a calm and reliable person. Apart from the time he was on the boat, Zhao Yong really couldn't find any fault with the third son. Seeing that the two brothers were going on like this, Zhao Yong was helpless. The anxiety in his heart was even more indescribable.
Sure enough, on the third day, Zhao Jiaxin started packing things. When Zhao Jiaren went out to do the business, he left. Zhao Yong immediately grabbed Zhao Jiaxin, "Big Master, no matter how wrong the third master did, he is also your younger brother. Your brother left him and left. Let's not talk about whether he can speak after meeting him. What should you say when you go back to Qingyuan Mansion?"
Zhao Jiaxin was so angry that he couldn't even shake his hand away from Zhao Yong several times. He stopped struggling and said angrily to Zhao Yong: "Why are you, a servant, talking so much?"
Zhao Yong was calm and composed. He let go of his arms and stared at Zhao Jiaxin and said, "Grandmaster. I am a servant, so naturally I dare not stop you. But you walk on the back of the third son, so I can't pretend that I didn't see it. You and the third son are brothers. If you want to leave, you should explain to your brother in person. Even if you don't meet the third son again in the future, you, the elder brother, can certainly scold him in person before leaving."
It can be seen that this sentence worked. Zhao Yong's words restored Zhao Jiaxin a lot of courage. He sat on the chair with a golden sword, showing his attitude of waiting for Zhao Jiaren to scold him after he came back.
Zhao Yong also relaxed. If Zhao Jiaxin left so angrily, the two brothers would probably never meet again. Even if Zhao Jiaxin is the elder brother, he seems even less despicable, what good is there for a bastard brother to Zhao Jiaren? Zhao Yong was anxious. He hoped that Zhao Jiaren could have a good talk with Zhao Jiaxin this time, but he would never vent as crazy as on the boat. Zhao Yong could see that he probably felt that his brother's dignity was not taken seriously by his younger brother at all, and Zhao Jiaxin was very dissatisfied with that matter.
In the afternoon, Zhao Jiaren came back early. When he saw his brother sitting on a chair with mosquito coils and luggage placed beside him, Zhao Jiaren probably knew what happened. He handed the knife to Zhao Yong and asked him to hang it on the wall. He pulled the chair to the opposite side of his brother and said, "I was furious on the boat. It was not that I was angry with you, brother, or that I was dissatisfied with your ambitions. But I felt that I was powerless, so I couldn't stand it and became furious. Brother, I was willful at that time, so please understand this. If the brother didn't understand, I would tell you repeatedly until the brother understood."
Zhao Jiaxin was stunned. He never expected that his younger brother would say such things when he came up. Although he was very dissatisfied with his younger brother's actions and even more dissatisfied with his younger brother's angry look afterwards, Zhao Jiaxin believed what his younger brother said. He had also had a similar state. Many times, the reason why he got angry was not because he felt that others were wrong, but because he was extremely dissatisfied with himself. Then he took his anger on others.
As the eldest brother, when he heard his younger brother say that what he did was not directed at him at all, Zhao Jiaxin felt that the depression in his heart had dissipated a lot. But then he thought about it, Zhao Jiaxin was unhappy again. When he was on the boat, the gap between his younger brother's fallacies and Zhao Jiaxin was too big. Moreover, both of them also touched on the fundamental problem. Zhao Jiaxin's fundamental reason was to be loyal to the Zhao court and swear to serve the Zhao court to the death. Zhao Jiaren's attitude was to make the people stronger by doing things, able to resist threats from the north, and then restore the old land of China in the Northern Expedition.
In order to continue China, the Zhao family needs to make a comprehensive change.
For the sake of the Zhao family, the Song Dynasty must do its best to be loyal.
The two concepts were pointed at this basic point, and no one was willing to give in. Finally, Zhao Jiaxin said something wrong with his neck. In fact, Zhao Jiaxin also felt that the Zhao family should take photovoltaics and China as their responsibility. However, the Zhao family has not tried their best for more than 100 years to travel south, but they cannot do their best. As for Zhao Jiaren's sudden rise later, Zhao Jiaxin actually felt a little guilty.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jiaxin felt that he couldn't help but want to take his anger. He said unhappily: "You have an official position, and my elder brother thinks that staying here can't help you in your studies, and it will get bored of you in your work. Why not go back to Qingyuan Mansion!"
"Brother, you are just angry." Zhao Jiaren said with a smile.
Of course I was angry! Zhao Jia thought in confidence.
Zhao Jiaren pointed to the terraced fields on the hillside behind the house, "Brother, other people do these things for money. You do breeding and gardening because you like it. Confucius said that learning is the best. Our brothers quarreled over what they wanted, but it was just brothers quarreling. If you leave me, not only will I be injustice, but I am also sorry for your hard work. As long as we broadcast seeds this year, we can make you earn thousands of guan next year when you harvest next year. If you want to leave, you will leave again. At that time, mosquito coils have been sold all over Jiangnan and Lingnan. You brought the seeds back to Qingyuan Mansion and found a fertile land to plant them. In the future, you can become a rich man by selling flowers. If you are not angry with me, our brothers will always work together. If you are angry with me, you must make enough for yourself. Don't save me."
"Hmph!...hehe...haha!" Zhao Jiaxin was completely amused by his younger brother's words. At first, he didn't want to laugh at all, but later he couldn't help laughing. When he thought of the big money he earned with his younger brother in the future, Zhao Jiaxin laughed even more. All the unhappiness caused by conflicts, all the dissatisfaction caused by the opposition of ideas, and all the money brought by cooperation disappeared without a trace.
Seeing his brother smiling happily, Zhao Jiaren also smiled. He didn't want to have an upset with his brother. In the entire Song Dynasty, the Zhao clan relatives were undoubtedly the group who were most loyal to the Song Dynasty. Their fundamental position was closest to Zhao Jiaren. Others all have their own interests, and they actually did not have the loyalty to the Song Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhao Jiaren has been looking for an opportunity to reconcile with his brother these days, but he feels that from the perspective of interests, his brother needs to take the initiative to attack. If Zhao Jiaren takes the initiative to find his brother, he will probably have to make huge concessions first.
Seeing his brother's heartfelt joy, Zhao Jiaren also determined his thoughts. Now he wanted to use nationalism to convince the people of the Song Dynasty, there was definitely no chance. The people did not understand and were too lazy to listen to the great principles of nationalism. As for scholars, they were probably the same as his brother.
One of the remaining feasible means now is broad interests. If even his brother can let go of his will in the face of interests, who can't cooperate because of interests?
