The Hou Mochen family is now "weak as the trunk but strong as the branches." A few very capable people have been sent to several houses to safeguard the interests of the Hou Mochen family in the court. The upright eldest son of the family has gradually become the direct descendant of the family.
weak.
It took a lot of effort for Hou Mo and Chen Wo to find themselves in such a situation. The entire eldest family member was feeling depressed...
Hou Mo and Chen Qian are over seventy this year. The old man in his dying years has experienced the glory of the founding of the emperor, the melee of the great cause, the splendor of the Zhenguan era, the ups and downs of his life, guarding the glory of the Hou Mochen family, but he has to hang on.
When he was old and decayed, he sat tremblingly in the main hall and gave guidance to his children and grandchildren...
"A person must be upright, and his words must be upright. You think that Fang Jun is arrogant and unscrupulous, but he firmly grasps the key point of your rudeness to Shangguan, even if the suppression against you seems hasty and excessive, but he
If you always stand on the side of honor and justice, you can only reap the consequences."
Hou Mo and Chen Qian shook their heads helplessly, feeling weak after saying a few words.
The youngest grandson, whom he has watched grow up, has extraordinary talent, but after all, he is like a flower in a greenhouse that cannot see the slightest bit of wind and rain. When encountering setbacks, he first blames others and only resents Fang Jun for being so arrogant and unkind.
I never think about my own problems from my own perspective.
As everyone knows, "To forge iron, you need to be strong yourself." If you give the handle to others, how can they not control you?
Hou Mo and Chen Wo were a little dissatisfied, but they did not dare to refute.
The current foundation of the Hou Mochen family is the former general of the dynasty, the general manager of Guizhou, Hou Mo Chen Yingzhi Yu Ze. As the son of Hou Mo Chen Ying, Hou Mo Chen Qian can be regarded as the most outstanding figure among the generations of the Hou Mo Chen family.
Already.
Although he has never been an official, he is very popular among scholars...
"Wo'er has less exposure to storms and more protection, which is not the way to become a man. Later, I will arrange for you to join the army. At present, there is unrest in the Western Regions, the rise of Tubo, and the Eastern Expedition is about to begin. You will have more experience in the army.
Only then can you stand alone.”
The old man can see clearly that at least within twenty years, military merit will still be the primary capital for officials to advance to the rank. After twenty years, the genius will be at peace, and at that time, knowledge and government affairs will be relied upon.
Shandong aristocratic families have been suppressed for nearly two decades since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but they worked hard to govern and taught their children literary talents and articles to help the world. This is not only far inferior to the Guanlong Group, but also to the Jiangnan gentry who have been here for generations.
After that.
Not surprisingly, when the new emperor ascended the throne and began to pay more and more attention to internal affairs from the outside to the inside, that was when the Shandong family's hard-working education over the years came to fruition.
Qinghe Cui, Boling Cui, Fan Yanglu...
There will be generations of talented people emerging to take on important responsibilities in the government.
How can the Hou Mo and Chen family, who were born in the Xianbei military town, compete with the Shandong aristocratic family in terms of literary heritage?
Only by being rooted in the military can you control your own destiny.
Hou Mo and Chen Qian's decision also means that the Hou Mo and Chen family have completely withdrawn from the struggle with Fang Jun...
*****
This night, too many people are bound to have sleepless nights.
The cold wind from Lishan blew through the dry branches of the trees outside the window, making a slight sound like a night owl...
The water in the hot spring pool inside the house is rippling and the mist is gentle.
The clear hot spring water soaked into the skin like jade, and the slender fingertips lightly passed over it, and the fine water droplets slid down as if on the smooth silk satin, leaving a shallow water mark...
Princess Changle put a crow's black hair on her head, revealing her slender and graceful neck, thin and delicate shoulders and delicate jade-like clavicle. The bud-like plumpness was submerged in the water, leaving only two traces of greasy white.
The clear eyes were a little blurry and out of focus, and the jade hand subconsciously stirred the warm hot spring water in the pool, making ripples in circles.
"Ey"
The door not far behind him was pushed open.
Princess Changle was almost as frightened as if she saw the well rope after being bitten by a snake. She turned around in the water, submerged all the parts from her neck into the water to hide, and asked in a sharp voice: "Who?"
When the door opened, the light of a palace lantern came through, reflecting Princess Ankang's slightly ordinary but calm and peaceful face.
"There are guards everywhere in the village. Why is my sister so scared? Is there anyone who is bold enough to dare to break into my sister's hot spring? If there is, my sister will take the initiative to purify him with her own hands and then send him to Daxing Palace."
Princess Ankang was also startled by Princess Changle's scream, and then she made a rare joke.
Daxing Palace is the palace where Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan lived after his throne. It is now about to be demolished, and the useful wood will be used to build a new palace in Longshouyuan, north of the palace.
He does not mean that.
Princess Changle's face turned red with embarrassment, she pursed her lips and thought: Why not? Not only did she dare to look, but she also dared to take action...
Princess Ankang hung the palace lantern in her hand on the shackle of the corridor pillar, also lightly untied her robe and slid it into the soup pool.
The warm water soaked her body, and Princess Ankang snorted in contentment, and asked: "Why doesn't my sister go to bed so late and turns out all the lights?"
Princess Changle pulled Princess Ankang to her side, stretched out her hands to tie up her long hair, and fixed it with a hosta.
"It's nothing. I just can't sleep. I want to soak in the hot springs to relieve my fatigue and think about something."
Princess Changle replied softly.
Before the two sisters got married, they would often sleep with their feet in the embroidered pavilion and talk for a long time. At this time, they were half lying side by side in the hot spring pool, listening to the whistling wind outside the window and looking at each other.
The palace lantern on the corridor emits an orange halo, and you feel the warm spring water soaking your skin, as if you are traveling back in time to the days when you were waiting in the boudoir...
"Sister, how are you doing?"
Princess Changle asked softly.
"Why do you ask that?" Princess Ankang was a little surprised, but then she laughed, with a warm and satisfied smile on her lips: "She must have seen Dugu Mou, a big and powerful person, and she didn't know how to care for her, so she was afraid that her sister would be wronged, right? Haha,
That sister thinks too much. Rough people are better than rough people, they don’t know how to be petty, they don’t know sweet words, but there is a sincerity in their roughness that other young men don’t have..."
A happy little woman will always be so proud and comfortable when talking about her own happiness, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes will be soaked with happiness while talking. This is just a subconscious expression, not to show off anything, but when in front of you
When you are a single woman, this kind of happiness will become a handful of dog food...
Princess Ankang felt Princess Changle's delicate body trembling slightly, so she stopped talking, feeling slightly annoyed.
I really don't have any brains. How miserable my sister is now. How can I still say this to make her sad?
Changsun Chong is an outstanding figure among people, he is chic and suave. When countless dandy boys outside are jealous of the Princess Changle held by Changsun Chong, how many girls among the royal nobles are envious of Princess Changle marrying Changsun Chong?
It's a pity that fate has played a role in people. The beautiful couple back then are now separated. In this life, they will never be able to hold my son's hand and grow old together...
The atmosphere was a bit depressing, so Princess Ankang wanted to say something happy.
She turned her head, looked at Princess Changle's flawless profile, and asked with a low smile: "Sister, don't blame me for being troublesome. What on earth is going on between you and Fang Jun?"
Princess Changle was immersed in sadness. She was stunned when she heard this and asked casually: "What can I do with him?"
Princess Ankang smiled and said nothing, her eyes teasing.
Then pretend it, you just...
Princess Changle was a little embarrassed and said displeasedly: "My sister has never told a lie to my sister, and why does my sister not believe it?"
Princess Ankang took her hand and hummed softly: "It's not that my sister doesn't believe it, it's that she can't believe it. It can be seen from the matter of Dugu Cheng that if Fang Jun didn't care about you very much, how could he be willing to do it so easily?
Just let Dugu Cheng go? For a man, career is extremely important. He can give up his plans just for your words. But don't tell me just because you are the princess. Otherwise, let me tell you.
Do you think he can see my face? Let alone me, even if a few royal brothers come, he may not give me face."
Princess Changle's heart skipped a beat.
Is Fang Jun interested in me?
This is an idiot's question, because even an idiot can tell Fang Jun's thoughts from the admiring and loving look in his eyes when he looks at him. The most egregious thing is that the guy almost never hides it...
But he is his brother-in-law after all, so how could it be possible?
Princess Changle was slightly absent-minded and somewhat empty-headed.
