He did not open his eyes immediately, but pricked up his ears to listen first.
Very good, there was no movement from that girl.
He breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and stood up.
A few rays of morning light came in from the window and spread in front of the bed.
It was still the same antique house where he was reborn, but since she left that night, he had lived alone for the past three days.
It's such a big bed, and sleeping alone...it's so comfortable! I also need a bicycle. He muttered.
In the past few days, he had a deeper understanding of the surrounding environment and remembered more things.
The Chu Dynasty was very large, somewhat similar to the Han Dynasty in my own world.
At the same time, it is small because Wangquezhou is larger, and it is only a medium-sized dynasty in the southwest of Wangquezhou.
Not to mention the Xuanhuang Realm that Gui mentioned.
The Duke of Jingnan is one of the top nobles in Chu, and the title is hereditary and irreplaceable. Moreover, every generation has children entering the Immortal Sect to practice.
Especially among these two generations, Zhao Lingfei's father, Zhao Che, was once the direct descendant of the head of Ziqi Pavilion, the largest immortal sect in several surrounding countries.
But later, for some unknown reason, he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to inherit the position of head, and took Zhao Lingfei's mother, who was also a disciple of the Purple Air Pavilion, on a trip. However, when he returned from the trip, only the pregnant Zhao mother was left.
As for Concubine Zhao Ling, she inherited her father's talent for cultivation and even surpassed it.
At the age of fourteen, he entered the inner gate of the Purple Air Pavilion and was promoted to a disciple in purple clothes. At the age of fifteen, he participated in the trial and assessment of a certain monastic holy land. After that, he went to that holy land with the ranking of first in the southwest of the continent.
I heard that there is also a great performance there.
These are what he heard from that girl Zhao Qianer.
She also said that there were many toads outside who wanted to eat swan meat, but they could only eat ashes because the lady ignored them. After saying this, she even gave him a sideways look.
The little girl praised her young lady as being unique in the sky and unparalleled on earth. It seemed that if he didn't know how to cherish it, he would really be the biggest loser in the world...
Thinking of that girl, Zhao Rong couldn't help but feel his teeth itching again.
Even though she said she would never talk to him again on the wedding night, she still ran over to him early the next morning to wake him up, tickling him with her hair or pinching his nose with her little hands. It was so awesome.
There's a fuss.
He was extremely annoyed, but he still succumbed to the little girl's "sexual danger" and
Because whenever Zhao Rong couldn't help but get angry, she seemed to be able to accurately grasp the moment. She suddenly stopped all movements, pinched the corners of her skirt with her two small hands, her smart peach blossom eyes filled with tears, and she lowered her head timidly.
He glanced at him secretly, sniffed, and muttered:
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Brother Rong'er is annoyed with me now, wu wu..."
Zhao Rong surrendered.
He couldn't stand the girl's tears anymore, so he quickly coaxed her softly.
However, this little girl is also a master who can't hold it back. The next second she burst into tears and laughed, and hurriedly covered her mouth. She said seriously with a small face: "I forgive you this time, but I can't be cruel to Qian'er next time~"
"..." He wanted to give himself a slap.
In the past few days, he had gotten up early to accompany her to the Yinjing Lake in the house for morning exercises. The girl used it as a pretext to help him exercise.
But later Zhao Rong found out that Concubine Zhao Ling would practice in the Huxin Pavilion every morning...
In the past few days, except for the first day after the wedding, when Qian'er dressed up carefully and took her to visit the old lady, uncle, aunt and other elders in the house, she met Zhao Lingfei on the corridor outside the main hall who was about to leave.
We haven't seen each other again for other times. She seemed to be avoiding him intentionally...
And when they met on the corridor, she just passed by with an expressionless face and cold eyes. He stopped his steps, turned around and called softly a few times, trying to explain the misunderstanding last night, but she turned a deaf ear and kept walking.
Gradually go away.
The stewards and slaves passing by all looked at him quietly, with strange expressions on their faces.
He didn't feel embarrassed, put away his hand that was raised in the air, smiled freely, and left with his back. It was good to stop himself from thinking about things he shouldn't have as soon as possible.
In fact, he already has a rough idea of his situation.
He has met a lot of Zhao family members in the past few days, and the old lady in the family also visited once. She is currently the mainstay of the Zhao family. The old man is very strong, but he is still old after all, and a successor needs to be determined as soon as possible.
How can such a huge family property as the Jingnan Duke's Palace and such overwhelming power be maintained?
Externally we need the emperor's favor, internally we need monks.
Only strong monks are the foundation for a wealthy family! And the worship of a foreign surname is ultimately unreliable. This powerful monk must also be named Zhao.
However, among the recent two generations of the Zhao family, only Concubine Zhao Ling and her father have excelled in their spiritual path, and the latter has been missing for many years. Although the only remaining Concubine Zhao Ling is extremely talented, she is still a woman after all.
This is also the reason why the new emperor has just ascended the throne, which is a good time to marry to consolidate the friendship between the heaven and the family, but the Zhao family would rather the new emperor has a grudge than let Concubine Zhao Ling marry outside.
Mrs. Zhao obviously groomed Concubine Zhao Ling as her successor. The reason why she chose herself as a son-in-law was because she and Concubine Zhao were childhood sweethearts and had grown up under the supervision of the family members, so they knew everything about her.
The most important thing is probably because she is a weak scholar and Concubine Zhao can easily subdue her.
In public, I can slap your face at will, but you can only swallow it, or get out and stop eating from the Jingnan Duke's Mansion.
Hey, my husband is weak, how can soft rice be so delicious?
Thinking like this, he suddenly understood his former self. Now that he had almost figured out the situation, he had better pack up his things, prepare some money, and leave here as soon as possible.
In fact, the original person had the idea of leaving before, and even packed his luggage, but for some reason he delayed it until Zhao Lingfei returned home to get married.
The original person was planning to go all the way south to look for his hometown in Nanxiaoyaozhou, which his mother once said. For this reason, he asked Zhao Lingfei's second brother Zhao Kuo, who had always had a good relationship with him, to help him buy a monk on the mountain.
intercontinental ferry tickets.
The price was certainly high, but he also asked Zhao Kuo to help pawn some of the fragmentary relics left by his mother...
Zhao Rong gritted his teeth as he thought of the well-connected, reliable but cunning second brother. He didn't know how many kickbacks he had received.
Forget it, that's all you can do if you rely on others to do things.
Waiting for a suitable opportunity, he immediately stepped out and went to Nanxiaoyaozhou to look for his hometown according to his original plan. He treated the journey as a trip and enjoyed the scenery of this world.
By the way, can the cross-continental ferry of the monks on the mountain fly? Is there a teleportation gate in this world that can go by in a flash...
I was sitting on the bed thinking about these things, when suddenly the door creaked and someone pushed it open from the outside.
This girl didn't knock on the door. Zhao Rong sighed and stood up to greet her.
I saw three girls standing outside the door.
The one in the middle is a round-faced girl with a double bun and a pink ribbon in her hair. She has a small nose, a small mouth, and a slightly pointed chin. The most attractive thing is her pair of peach blossom eyes, which look like drunkenness and are charming.
Behind her were two pretty maids carrying trays.
When Qian'er saw Zhao Rong coming to greet her, she put her hands behind her back and smiled gracefully.
A pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, and a pair of white little tiger teeth appeared at the corners of her lips. She seemed to have noticed that Zhao Rong's eyes were resting on her little tiger teeth, and she hurriedly raised her hands to cover herself.
His small mouth, his eyes widened, with an expression on his face that said he didn't see anything just now.
Zhao Rong: "..."
Under the hands of the late emperor, Dachu changed Confucianism into a national study, abandoning the Legalist school that had been followed for hundreds of years. Nowadays, Confucian etiquette has gradually become popular among the people. Rich families pay attention to the etiquette of women not showing their teeth when smiling and not wearing skirts.
Therefore, the former Zhao Rong always disliked her for being so inappropriate, but now Zhao Rong...
