Wen Yao has seen too much about human nature. It is not uncommon for sisters to turn against each other, not to mention cousins, and it is not uncommon for them to stab each other behind their backs. It is better to speak openly and let them stop doing stupid things and beat them first.
Several cousins had different expressions on their faces, and they all promised not to talk nonsense, and they only cursed and swore.
When something like this happened, they were too embarrassed to stay and chat, so they stood up to leave.
Wen Yao didn't stay much longer. There were fewer and fewer things that made her miss this home.
Yuan Rui and Wen Zhao had a very lively chat. He originally thought that Wen Zhao would be very pedantic because he was a scholar, but he didn't expect that he was funny and knowledgeable, and he didn't know many things.
The two of them hated each other quite a bit, and they were evenly matched in chess. Yuan Rui almost became a confidant. This brother-in-law was quite good.
On the way back, Yuan Rui kept praising Wen Zhao: "Compared to your eldest brother, the second brother is much better. I didn't know he was such an interesting person. Let him come to our house to play often in the future."
"
Wen Yao said: "He is deliberately trying to please you, and he always follows the kind of personality you like. Wen Zhao's mind is like a sieve, and you have been trapped by him.
He has not been like this since he was a child. He is old-fashioned and stubborn. He lives in books. He can become so smooth. I don't know whether it is good or bad."
A stubborn and old-fashioned person is more suitable for studying knowledge. Being tactful is not a good thing, especially since he is not a tactful person. He seems to have suffered a lot when he was forced to be tactful.
"If he wants to enter the officialdom, he should be more diplomatic, round on the outside and square on the inside. Being versatile but not losing his true nature is the best way to be an official."
Wen Yao asked him: "So what path do you want to take?"
Yuan Rui thought for a while and said: "I used to want to be a general like my uncle, but after seeing my uncle's fate, to be honest, I was confused.
But what I want to do most right now is to be with you and my family. You are all happy. It doesn’t matter what happens to me.
Anyway, I have the title of Crown Prince and will inherit the palace in the future, so I don’t need to work hard."
On the contrary, it is easy to do bad things if you work hard. The emperor does not want to see a young and promising nephew. In this capital, only mediocrity can live a long life.
Wen Yao is very happy. What a woman wants, isn't her husband's company and family harmony?
"I think it's good that you don't work hard. It's great that we can live our happy life together. I'm very satisfied with it now."
Yuan Rui smiled: "As long as you don't dislike me and don't seek improvement."
"By the way, I saw that your face didn't look good when you went out. Is there something wrong?"
The gentle smile faded: "There is something wrong. Zhihua is missing and is being held hostage. I have to find her. This matter is left to you. You are on duty in the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. You should not find someone.
Is it difficult?”
"My opinions on trivial matters, please wait, Yaoyao, and I will find them out for you tomorrow."
"It's not like King Xuan did it to return the person who held her hostage. He is asking for help from you now. Zhihua is of no use to him anymore. Why don't you go to all the trouble to hold her hostage?"
Wen Yao thought about it, who could it be?
"Stop thinking nonsense, wait for me to investigate, there is still fourth brother, he is in Dali Temple, our two yamen join forces, still can't find anyone?"
Wen Yao relaxes, yes, there is someone she can rely on, she is not alone.
It was already dark when we returned to the palace. The old princess sent someone to tell them to rest early and not to go to say hello. She really wished they could settle down after dark. The meaning was obvious. Let's catch her and create a baby. She is waiting to have a grandson.
Woolen cloth!
[Author's digression]: I went out today and didn't finish writing. I will make up for it tomorrow.
