Jun Ci took Ah Chen to the Shangshu Mansion, her refuge, facing the sunset.
Today, Aye watched her throw Ying Wuchen into the tall banyan tree. Ying Wuchen was a guest. It was really rude of her to do this. If she stayed in the house, a family meal would be inevitable. Fortunately, she still
There is an uncle.
"Aci?"
As soon as Jun Ci arrived at Shangshu Mansion, he saw standing at the gate, who should be his uncle Zhang Li who had just returned to the mansion.
Zhang Li was in his fifties, and his temples were already dusty, and his dark and thin face showed some fatigue. These fatigues were like clouds of sadness. When he saw Jun Ci, they were swept away, revealing a smile as warm as the warm spring sun.
"Uncle." Jun Ci strode over.
Zhang Li looked at his niece carefully and also glanced at Ah Chen who was holding her hand. He didn't feel scornful, nor did he look strange or disgusted: "Are you in trouble again?"
"Uncle, why do you miss me so much like your cousin?" Although this was a fact, she firmly refused to admit it. "I am going to the military camp tomorrow. I am afraid that the upcoming affairs will be complicated and I will not be able to visit you and my cousin, so I came here.
Before leaving, come and get close to your uncle and cousin."
Zhang Lixu nodded his fingers and smiled, without exposing his niece who lied without blinking an eye: "Let's go, uncle ordered someone to prepare some food you like."
Jun Ci happily entered the house with Zhang Li. Zhang Li cared about her along the way, asking her some trivial matters in life, and did not mention a word about her joining the court as an official.
Her uncle was a scholar, with a scholarly family background, and he abided by etiquette. She always thought that he would complain about her joining the military camp and being around her son all day long.
"Uncle, don't you have anything else to tell me?" Jun Ci couldn't help but ask.
She doesn't have many relatives. In recent years, there have been wars everywhere. Except for the big family like the Ying family, many families have started to have fewer heirs. Because she doesn't have many close relatives, she cares about each one more.
Zhang Li knelt down in front of the low table and poured tea for Jun Ci himself. He smiled softly: "A Ci, the glory of the sun and the moon can never be concealed. I have known that you are extraordinary since you were a child, and your path is endless.
People can choose for you. I can neither know which path is suitable for you, nor can I guarantee that the path I choose for you will protect you from worries throughout your life, so I have no right to restrain or criticize you."
Jun Ci was startled.
Handing a cup of tea to Jun Ci, Zhang Li also picked up a cup and took a sip: "A Ci, in this world, no one can control it, only the strong can survive. My uncle is very pleased that you persisted in your opinions and acquired good skills...
…”
Speaking of this, Zhang Li felt a little regretful. If he could have seen today more than ten years ago, he would have taken his son to Jun's house to practice martial arts. Pen and ink are the glory of the prosperous age, and swords and guns are the basis of troubled times.
If you can't even guarantee your survival, those playing, chess, calligraphy and painting will become a burden.
"Uncle, A Ci is very happy." Jun Ci smiled, showing a rare girlish coquettishness.
Zhang Li was also very happy and asked: "How are you and Jiulangjun?"
Jun Ci's smile faded, but he did not hide from Zhang Li what he did not dare to say to his father: "Uncle, Lord Jiulang of the Ying family, is a gifted man with a very deep city and treacherous thoughts. He is not a good match."
After evaluating Ying Wuchen, Jun Ci told Zhang Li everything that happened after Ying Wuchen went to Qin Tower, but she did not mention the suspicion about Ying Wuchen's identity.
"Yingshi..." Zhang Li looked solemn after hearing this. He mentioned two words but did not follow up. He just sighed deeply and then asked Jun Ci, "What do you think of Your Majesty?"
This question...
Jun Ci pursed his lips and moved the fingertips holding the cup: "Uncle, Your Majesty is a man with a good heart, but he was born at the wrong time..."
Yuan You dared to risk his life and lead his troops to kill Xiang Donghu. He knew clearly that Zhou Rong had set up a dead end, but he was not timid and did not choose to compromise. His bravery and courage are both worthy of praise. He also made the best arrangements to intercept and kill Donghu, although if there was no
Jun Ci came out of nowhere, and his plan may still fail, but it can be seen from his deployment that he is a man of skill and ability.
If you were born in a prosperous age, not to mention a prosperous age, even when the royal family was powerful, you would have a lot to do.
However, at the moment, although Jun Ci is loyal to His Majesty and is willing to help His Majesty to give it a try, she is not optimistic that His Majesty can bring down Zhou Rong.
Zhang Li was very pleased with his niece's confession and alertness: "You are right, the imperial court is just hanging on for its last breath... When that day comes, it will be the same for everyone. Compared with the Zhou family, the Ying family is better, isn't it?
What?"
At least the Ying family has a profound cultural background, the ethics and ethics have not yet collapsed, and the reputation of the gentry for hundreds of years means that they will not produce tyrants, nor will they assist tyrants.
The Ying clan themselves definitely do not have the ambition to plot the world. They are people who play politics and do not have a strong army. Zhang Li guessed that Ying clan Jiulang returned to the capital under the pretext of being engaged to Jun Ci this time.
Choose a virtuous king to assist you.
"You deliberately tested him today about Zhou Lang, just to make sure they didn't choose the Zhou family." Zhang Li said with a smile.
Jun Ci's original plan was to see if Ying would play double act with Zhou Rong, or if he would not deal with Zhou Rong at all.
It is impossible for a century-old nobleman like the Ying family to have the heart to be a king, and they disdain him.
Jun Ci was afraid that they would choose the Zhou family, but today when he heard the name Ziyi blurted out, Jun Ci felt that her temptation was a bit unnecessary. The Ying family had already chosen a good master and arranged a Ying family for him.
You use your identity to confuse the world.
"I'm just worrying about things in vain." Jun Ci laughed at himself.
How could a family like the Ying family look upon such a violent and vulgar person as the Zhou family?
If he really surrenders to the Zhou family, even if the Zhou family really becomes a thing in the future, he is afraid that the Ying family will fall into the bottom of the family.
"A Ci, no matter what Ying's choice is, if your marriage to Jiulang Jun comes to fruition, there will be no harm in it." Zhang Li reminded.
In Zhang Li's view, the Ying family must be the final winner, and the monarch they have chosen with all their efforts will surely have the last laugh. No matter who they choose, as long as Jun Ci marries the Ying family's legitimate son, he will be invincible.
land.
Since his niece is a person who has achieved great things, Zhang Li will not talk to her about marrying her husband and raising her children, or sharing the case with her, let alone talking about mutual love.
People who achieve great things don't know how to love their children, and when they get married, their interests come first.
Jun Ci opened her mouth, but she still did not say that Ying Wuchen was not the son of the Ying family, but the monarch chosen by the Ying family.
If he were just a simple son of the Ying family, he would be worth marrying. The Ying family has completely left the court, but its background and lintel are still there. No matter how chaotic the world is, unless it is the kind of bandit who has no vision at all, anyone with some ambitions
People of all ages will treat each other as if they are distinguished guests.
However, Ying Wuchen is not.
Marrying a monarch and marrying a wise minister are two different things.
"Uncle, why do you need to think about this? I don't need to rely on others." Jun Ci said without any formality, "If that day comes, I can also compete in this world."
Boom!
Zhang Li's tea cup fell from his hand, but his hand still held the cup, frozen in shock.
