A game of three-player checkers has reached the middle of the game. The five and six players are still interlocking in the middle, but the prince's chess pieces have already arrived at the door of the house. There are only a few moves left before they all get through.
"Brother, I have a question." Lao Wu, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but asked softly: "Since you are happy to see your father and sixth brother struggling, why do you have to... reserve your opinions every time?
?Isn’t it contradictory?”
"Lao Wu listened very seriously." The prince smiled and said to Zhu Zhu, "The answer lies in what Lao Liu just said."
"What did Lao Liu say just now?" King Zhou thought about it carefully. Fortunately, Lao Liu didn't say a few useful words just now. He asked tentatively: "Is it 'as long as you do something, there will be opposition'?"
"That's right." The prince nodded and smiled: "Think about it, since there will definitely be opposition, is it better for me to be the leader of the opposition, or to let others be the leader?"
"Of course, let the eldest brother take charge." King Zhou said without hesitation: "The eldest brother's objection is harmless. If others object, they may not cause trouble."
"Haha, Lao Wu is right." The prince smiled approvingly and said: "In the eyes of those who oppose the reform, they are bad people. Of course I, the opponent, am a good person. All the opponents will naturally gather to my side.
, instead of erecting another mountain."
"And I am the crown prince, the future emperor. If I come to be the leader of the opposition, the opposition will inevitably have fantasies. Although it is uncomfortable now, the future will be long. If you endure it, you will be comfortable in the future. As long as people have hope, even if it is just extravagant hope.
, then it will not go to extremes, and it will be preventable and controllable. The resistance to my father's great reform cause will be much smaller."
"Besides, I can still get a good reputation, so why not?" The prince put the last marble into the opposite corner and sipped the tea happily: "I won."
"I'll go..." The five and six were dumbfounded when they heard this. They usually always say that this person is a scheming person and that other person is scheming, but this is the real scheming brother!
Thinking about it, for so many years, the eldest brother has never stopped what his father wanted to do. However, he is still the only hope for the government and the public, and the most ideal future monarch in everyone's hearts.
Those who regard their eldest brother as their savior are those who helped count the money after being sold...
Compared with his elder brother, a dirty-hearted guy like Lao Liu becomes a pure little white rabbit.
Lao Liu suddenly thought of that sentence, the black fan is actually the biggest fan. The eldest brother has never been in the rice circle, but he is self-taught.
"Haha, you know that your eldest brother is one of your own, are you completely relieved now?" the prince said with a warm smile. If it weren't for the purpose of completely dispelling the doubts of his brothers, he would never have expressed his feelings like this.
"Fifth brother, don't worry, the eldest brother is of course one of our own." Lao Liu said with a reassuring smile: "This will never change."
"I'm a doctor, so why should I worry?" Lao Wu smiled and said, "I'm just worried about you. You're going to lose."
His chess pieces are basically ready, but the sixth one is still early.
~~
At this time, the loud voice of the Crown Princess came from inside: "Your Highnesses, come, come."
"Oh, here we come." Lao Liu dropped his marbles and ran in like a fool. "What are your orders, sister-in-law?"
"This guy is being a swindler again." The prince laughed loudly and pulled Lao Wu up and walked into the bedroom.
Then they saw Zhang Xunzhen holding his third child in his arms, and heard the Crown Princess laughing and asking: "How about letting the third child recognize the real sister Xunzhen as his godmother?"
"That's really perfect." The prince said without thinking: "Without Zhenren Zhang, how could there be a mistress in this world?"
The more Lao Liu listened, the weirder he felt. How did he feel that his green tea fairy had become the mother of Xiao San'er?
Co-author Zhang Xunzhen was the first mistress. Without her, there would be no mistress? That’s not possible. Xiao Zhou was the first one to refuse.
However, he couldn't find fault. Because the descendants of the old Zhu family were all named by Boss Zhu himself when the full moon was full. Only Zhu Xiongying was famous right away...
Although this doll has the same father and mother as Xiongying, it is obviously not worthy of this treatment. Therefore, it is still in a state of anonymity.
None of the princes and grandsons have nicknames, so they are all called by their ranking at this stage. But if you call the third son, it always feels like you are calling a certain Jin Dynasty king, so the prince calls the third son "Xiao San'er"...
…
This is very reasonable.
"If the head of the house agrees, it's settled. When the third son is one month old, he will officially recognize his godmother!" The princess didn't know that the third son would have other meanings in the future, and said happily: "The old people say, 'Two fathers, two fathers'.
"Mother, you are blessed with good luck and good fortune, you can turn misfortunes into good luck and disasters into good fortune." His godmother will definitely be able to protect my third son from illness and disaster until the end of the ninety-nine."
"That's not right, sister-in-law." At this time, Princess Zhou said with a smile: "What you just said was 'two fathers and two mothers'. Now it is a single father and two mothers. You have to find a godfather for the third son."
"Pfft..." Lao Liu almost couldn't hold himself any longer. Good guy, my taste has changed now.
"That's going to be difficult." The Crown Princess sighed: "His godmother is a young lady, how can she get along with her?"
"Yes." Princess Zhou looked at Lao Liu with a smile and said, "But if it's Uncle Liu, it won't be a mess, right?"
"Isn't it chaotic?" Lao Liu said angrily: "I am his sixth father, so why am I his godfather again? Why am I getting more and more extravagant?"
"What's the point? You are still both Xiongying's uncle and Xiongying's master." The Crown Princess smiled.
"I, you..." Lao Liu was speechless and could only give his sister-in-law a thumbs up.
"His godmother, do you have any objection?" The princess asked Zhang Xunzhen's opinion symbolically.
"It doesn't matter if you are a poor person." Zhang Xunzhen said calmly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him: "Whatever your Majesty says."
"Then it's settled, the sixth child will be the godfather to the third child, and the sister Xunzhen will be the godmother to the third child!" the princess agreed happily.
"Yes..." Lao Liu couldn't laugh or cry, and he didn't expect that he would be involved.
Although 'being a godfather to my mistress' was one of my dreams in my previous life. But for this kind of dream to come true, I never dreamed of it...
~~
In this era where "filial piety comes first", parents are not recognized casually.
After the person is determined, a formal ceremony must be held, and a "inheritance note" must be written, incense and candles must be lit, and the ancestors and gods must be informed.
Of course, the godfather and godmother must also prepare marriage recognition gifts such as longevity locks and collars, and then feed the child with the bowls and chopsticks they brought, indicating that they have the responsibility to raise the child from now on.
From then on, the two families became godparents. During the holidays, the godfather and the godmother had three birthdays and two birthdays, or other human affairs, the children would pay homage to them until they were old and died, as if they were their own children.
Besides, we have to inform our father, the emperor and our empress first, so today we just confirmed the relationship and no ceremony was needed.
But how good is Zhang Xunzhen? Although as soon as he entered the door, he gave Xiaosaner a gift. At this time, she took out a five-beaded colorful rope from her sleeve and tied it to the baby's tender lotus root-like ankle. She said it was okay
Ward off evil spirits.
It seemed that Lao Liu was no longer a human being. He simply refused to be a human being and said:
"I don't believe in these gods. You see, the birth-inducing charms on my sister-in-law's bed are all wrong. Doesn't it mean that mother and child are safe?"
