Hearing this, Zhao Churan looked unhappy and said, "Didn't I say I won't get married!"
It turned out that the eldest son of Imperial Physician Liu fell in love with Zhao Churan and conveyed his feelings to her through Zhao Zishan.
But Zhao Churan refused verbally.
Because the eldest son of Imperial Physician Liu is already over fifty years old and can be her father!
Moreover, she used to be just a concubine!
Still the concubine in the eighteenth room!
How can Zhao Churan agree?
Zhao Zishan put down his chopsticks and educated him: "Mr. Liu, Imperial Physician, has reached the sixth rank. If you follow him, you will enjoy happiness for the rest of your life. Don't you understand this?"
Zhao Churan retorted and sneered: "Yes, yes, you know the best, so in order to please Dr. Liu, you can push your sister into the fire pit, right?"
Zhao Zishan doesn’t know who Dr. Liu is?
But in order to please Dr. Liu, he repeatedly forced Zhao Churan to marry him as a concubine.
"Presumptuous! How can you talk to your eldest brother?" Zhao Zishan slapped the dining table and threatened: "The most important thing for a girl is her tutor. If you don't even know how to respect your eldest brother, how can you get married?"
Zhao Churan snorted: "Then you must be worthy of my respect!"
Sacrifice your sister for yourself, but still want her to respect you?
"Churan, you've passed!" Zhao Tian, who had never spoken a word, said seriously: "Zishan is your eldest brother, so you can't be so rude."
Zhao Churan's aggrieved eyes were slightly red: "But he forced me to marry a bad old man, is it right?"
Zhao Tian seriously criticized: "It is not my sister's turn to evaluate the eldest brother's decision. Even if it is wrong, she should not object, let alone contradict him face to face!"
Hearing this, Zhao Churan couldn't help feeling aggrieved anymore, covered his mouth and nose, cried and ran away.
In fact, this is not the first time she has endured similar grievances.
They are both descendants of the Zhao family, but his father has always favored Zhao Zishan and constantly instilled the teaching that the eldest brother is the greatest.
She must accommodate her elder brother in everything.
She has no status in the Zhao Mansion and feels oppressed living here.
My mother is the only person who understands me.
Therefore, in order to prevent Zhao Churan from being ruined by Dr. Liu, he tried his best to facilitate the marriage between Zhao Churan and Xia Qilin.
She thought to herself that Beixia Mansion was her natal family after all.
It is better to marry Zhao Churan than to be wronged in the imperial capital.
However, after many twists and turns, it still didn’t work out as expected.
Zhao Zishan frowned as he watched Zhao Churan leave, and said displeasedly: "It's getting more and more unruly! Even I dare to contradict him! I must strictly discipline him in the future!"
After saying that, he continued eating as if nothing had happened.
Xia Qingchen sighed silently.
Although he felt aggrieved for Zhao Churan, this was the Zhao family's business after all.
He is an outsider and has no right to intervene.
"Uncle, aunt, you eat, I'll go see my cousin." Xia Qingchen was not in the mood to eat anymore.
My uncle nodded lightly, and my aunt said earnestly: "Qingchen, please comfort her."
Only my aunt cares about Churan!
Xia Qingchen sighed in his heart and went to catch up with Zhao Churan.
After he left.
Zhao Tiancai finally frowned: "How long does he plan to stay?"
Xia Jie shook her head: "I didn't say anything. My eldest brother only said that Qingchen came to the imperial capital to do something, and he probably left after finishing the matter."
She felt secretly in her heart, knowing that her husband did not like Xia Qingchen.
Otherwise, Xia Qingchen would not have been deliberately ignored at the dinner table just now.
"I'm not telling you, after all these years, what do you still have to do with those country people in Yun Gucheng?" Zhao Tian frowned and lectured: "Okay now, give them some face, they will climb up the pole immediately, come on
Flatter us!"
Zhao Tian threw the ring finger on the table and said with disdain: "I just want to curry favor with our Zhao family with a piece of broken jade. It's so crazy!"
It turned out that Zhao Tian thought that Xia Qingchen came here to curry favor with their Zhao family.
Xia Jie was angry and defended: "My second brother dare not say it, but my eldest brother is definitely not that kind of person!"
For so many years, Xia Yuan had lived so hard in Yun Gucheng, and he had never asked her for anything.
Now that his father is more important than his son and his family is gradually prospering, why would he come to fawn over him instead?
If you want to be fawning, you have to be fawning at an early age.
Will never wait until now.
"What do you know, people's hearts are separated from each other! How do you know that your elder brother hasn't changed since we haven't seen each other for more than ten years?" Zhao Tian asked back.
Zhao Zishan nodded in agreement, with a serious expression on his face.
"Mother, although our Zhao family is a famous official family, we are currently in the most important period of growth. If we are dragged down, it will be greatly affected."
Zhao Zishan said: "So, that Xia Qingchen can stay in our Zhao Mansion for a while, but if he wants to curry favor with us, we can only ask him to leave."
The words spoken by the father and son made Xia Jie angry and speechless.
"Forget it, let me tell you in person. It's best to explain everything clearly." Zhao Zishan put down his chopsticks and slowly went to find Xia Qingchen for a heart-to-heart talk.
Intermediate Court.
In the yard.
Zhao Churan sat by the well, looking at the full moon reflected in the well and sobbing silently.
Suddenly, a stone fell into the well, causing ripples.
The reflection of the full moon was immediately fragmented.
"Life is like the moon in a well. It cannot withstand the ruthless crushing of time and will eventually be broken and reduced to nothing." Xia Qingchen's voice came from behind.
Zhao Churan lowered his head and asked quietly: "What do you mean?"
"It means that in a person's life, too many things are illusions! For example, power, status, and wealth are all trivial matters in life. Only martial arts is the eternal truth."
Zhao Churan seemed to have some realization, raised his head and looked into Xia Qingchen's eyes.
"As long as your martial arts is strong, power, status, and wealth will be at your fingertips! Even if your martial arts shatters the void and becomes a god in the sky, you will live forever."
"Being obsessed with the power, status and wealth in front of you while neglecting martial arts is putting the cart before the horse."
Zhao Churan's eyes brightened slightly.
Isn't it because her martial arts skills are inferior to those of others that her status is low now?
If she was a strong person in the Great Chen position, on par with her father, would her brother dare to ask her to sacrifice herself as a matter of course?
How dare your father blindly favor his brother?
"Have you already broken through the Zhongchen position?" Xia Qingchen asked.
Zhao Churan tapped his chin: "It's just a martial arts skill given to me by my cousin. I'm too dull and haven't mastered it yet."
"I will give you special guidance on martial arts someday." Xia Qingchen took out a jade-like leaf and stuffed it into her palm: "Before that, take this leaf and try to break through to the second level of Zhongchen."
Zhao Churan opened his palm and took a look, he was surprised and lost his voice: "Could this be the legendary Yunluo Holy Leaf?"
She once heard Zhao Zishan say.
Once, the great doctor cured the empress's serious illness. His Majesty was so happy that he rewarded the great doctor with a sacred Yunluo leaf.
The great imperial doctor's cultivation level is already high, and Yunluo's Holy Leaf is useless.
Therefore, the leaves were brewed into a pot of tea and a cup was given to each physician in the imperial hospital.
As an assistant, Zhao Zishan had no chance to get it, but he was lucky enough to taste the residue in the pot.
Just this, I have been thinking about it for two whole years.
