Who Cares

Chapter 12: Shame

Views:

There was a long silence during the banquet, and the Guan and his son put down the wine glasses together, and broke the silence with two soft pops. Zhao Luli hadn't thought of how to answer his new wife's words, and a lot of fine sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart was even more embarrassing.

Guan Qiguang turned to look at his granddaughter, and there was an occasional glint in his eyes. Although he is not good at words, he has the sun and the moon in his heart. This kind of rumor, replaced by any underprivileged woman, may easily believe it, but will never be able to fool Suyi? However, not only did she look convinced, but she also expressed gratitude at the Guining family banquet, which was clearly intended to embarrass the Duke of Zhenbei. In just three short days, what happened to her, how could her calm, gentle and elegant temperament turn into such a hidden needle in her eyes, with a hint of hostility

Needless to say, the Hou residence must have treated her harshly. Thinking of this, Guan Qiguang's impression of the so-called Young Master Zhuoyu has fallen sharply, but he does not reprimand, but just waved his hand at Guan's father.

The father loves his daughter like his life, and he can't see her being wronged in the slightest. With the old man's signal, he pours two glasses of wine and invites Zhao Luli to drink together. The etiquette is thoughtful, but the tone is full of sarcasm, "It turns out that the Guan family entrusted the blessing of Hou Ye. It is only today that this official is always on duty by His Majesty's side, but I have never heard of it, and now it is time to thank the Lord Hou."

Zhao Luli waved his hand to speak, but was interrupted by him, "Although Tai Changqing is the head of Jiuqing, he has no real power. If this official wants to go further, I beg the Marquis to help me. What do you think about the position of the prime minister?" Luo pointed to the Prime Minister's Mansion across the street.

It was the middle of winter now, but Zhao Luli was sweating like a waterfall. Even though the father-in-law's mouth was very ambitious, his face was full of indifference. Where does he want to be prime minister, he is clearly trying to run against him with words. How did this official position come about, who can know better than Guan's father and son and the person in the Jinluan Palace

Zhao Luli's eloquence is not bad, but at this moment, he can't speak because of his full of shame. Guan Yunqi drank a full glass and continued, "The emperor of the super-grade teacher, the third-grade teacher is too often, as long as you speak, Your Majesty will easily agree, and the friendship between the two of you is indeed profound. This official does not understand His Majesty's preferences, He is always trembling and fearful in front of him. In the future, I will talk to him more about Lord Hou, and I think it will be more appropriate to come to the relationship between monarchs and ministers. Lord Hou, go to Weiyang Palace when you have time, and don’t let this friendship fade.”

If it was just a test before, the next few words are hitting Zhao Luli's point of death. I saw that his face was pale, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and the shame and embarrassment between his eyebrows could not be concealed. Guan Yunqi was satisfied after this, and asked the servant to refill it and take a sip. As one of the heroes of the founding of the country, and the former right-hand man of Emperor Shengyuan, why is it that others are in power, rich and noble, and he is alone, staying away from the government? Seeing the micro-knowledge, Guan Yunqi would never believe it if it was said that there was no gap between the two rulers and ministers.

After entering Taichang Temple, he gradually stood on his heels, and he also inquired about the mystery behind the imperial edict. It turned out that the emperor intended to admit his daughter into the palace, but Zhao Luli cut off his daughter halfway through his former friendship. Guan Yunqi was not dissatisfied with him when he learned about this, and was even a little grateful. The palace is full of filth and filth, and it is extremely dangerous. How could he be willing to let his daughter jump into the fire pit? No matter how big the favor is, it can't compare to the lifelong happiness of her daughter. Since Zhao Luli is so sincere, he will definitely treat her kindly in the future.

However, it was only a conjecture after all. When he saw his daughter whose temperament became sharp and cold, he realized that perhaps the Hou Mansion was also a fire pit, but at this time there was no way out, and the marriage given by the emperor could not be easily divorced.

At this moment, Zhao Luli wished he could turn into blue smoke and disappear directly in front of the Guan family, so he didn't have to suffer such humiliation. The person he hated the most was Huo Shengzhe, and the person he feared the most was also Huo Shengzhe. It was only after the marriage that he heard vaguely that Guan Suyi was originally Zhaoyi, appointed by Huo Shengzhe, and was the deputy queen. Taking Guan Suyi away from his hand, Zhao Luli inevitably had a little secret pleasure, but those pleasures were washed away by these deadly rumors.

If Huo Shengzhe learned that he was pulling Huang En's mighty tiger skin to suppress the Guan family, he would definitely show the half-smile expression that disgusted him the most. He could already imagine how he despised himself in his heart, and then ran to Ganquan Palace to force Ye Zhen to see his cowardly and incompetent nature.

So this matter must be clarified, and it must be extinguished from the source! After thinking about it, Zhao Luli was about to open his mouth to plead guilty, but was interrupted by the old man Guan waving his hand, "No need to explain. It is said that the family, the country, and the world are regulated. You don't even have a family, so why should you take on the important responsibilities of the court? Clean up after you go back. Home, don't make a joke." Fu looked at his granddaughter again, and said warmly, "Take off the script that hangs in my study and take it back, and take it as a warning in the future."

Guan Suyi obeyed the promise obediently, got up to get the words, and showed it to Zhao Luli when he came back, only to see five big characters written in wild cursive on it - know shame and then be brave.

Mr. Guan is indeed not good at words, so he didn't open his mouth to teach his grandson-in-law, but this word and the meaning behind it were like a fatal blow to Zhao Luli. He thought that in the next three years, no, maybe five years, he would have no face to close the door of his house again.

After some beating, Zhao Luli was finally able to bring his new wife home. In front of Guan's family, he helped his wife onto the carriage very considerately, but when he got into the carriage, he hid his hands in his sleeves and rubbed and wiped secretly. Guan Suyi sat down opposite him, took out a handkerchief, wiped the touched wrist over and over again, and finally smeared on the pungent safflower oil before giving up.

Catching a glimpse of Zhao Luli's surprised expression, she smiled slightly, "Sorry, I have cleansed disease, and it's serious."

"Nothing." Facing the Guan family, Zhao Luli felt powerless.

Guan Suyi didn't mind making him a little weaker, and said frankly, "I deliberately pointed it out at the family banquet before. Although my Guan family is a poor family, but I have inherited the family through farming and education, and my knowledge is no less than your wealthy family. I grew up as a child. I followed my grandfather to travel through the twelve countries of Kyushu, and spread Confucianism everywhere. When I was a little older, I was sent to a foreign home. I followed my grandmother to study history, and I also followed my grandfather to study agriculture. is written by my grandmother, and now widely circulated, "The Farmer" is the work of my grandfather. I am never ashamed of my origin, on the contrary, I am very proud. Because they taught The knowledge and the principles of dealing with the world have given me the ability to face anyone without fear." Even in her previous life, she never felt that she was humble, and the reason why she endured all kinds of misunderstandings and censures was because she was grateful to the Zhao family. Just the help of the family.

The kindness of the previous life has been repaid, and there is no need to endure it in this life.

Zhao Luli did not know his wife's family background, and was surprised to hear these words. Zuo, Zhong, Guan, these three surnames may be very common, but when it comes to history, agriculture, and Confucianism, everyone will instantly realize the three masters that these three surnames refer to. Zuo Lixiang, Zhong Chuanbai, and Guan Qiguang are among the top three of the top ten contemporary writers. No wonder Huo Shengzhe wanted to accept her as Zhaoyi, and the root cause was here.

Zhao Luli suddenly realized, and finally came to his senses. How could Guan Suyi, who was brought up by the three literary giants, be deceived by such clumsy rumors? She just deliberately embarrassed him!

"That's right, I deliberately embarrassed you." Guan Suyi admitted it generously, took off the silver hairpin on his head, dialed the charcoal ball in the small incense burner, and said casually, "I will embarrass you, Mr. It's better than embarrassing your majesty. You fight with him, and you should know what the most feared army of the Jiuli tribe is."

"Scout." Zhao Luli spat out two words with difficulty.

"So you still remember." Guan Suyi wiped the grey stains on the silver hairpin with a handkerchief, her eyes wandering and her tone was contemptuous, "The scouts are everywhere, the whole Wei Kingdom is in His Majesty's eyes and ears, not to mention a small town north of town. Houfu? I don't know what the discord between your monarchs and ministers is, but I know that a military general who has lost the trust of the emperor will definitely have many scouts in the mansion. You made my father the head of Jiuqing and my grandfather in the office. Master Ju, what do you think of yourself? What do you think of Your Majesty? Could it be that he is a puppet you can control at will? Maybe His Majesty won't care about you, but is it a glorious thing to have the impression of deceiving the world and arrogance? Even the first emperor and the empress dowager can't control His Majesty's will, what kind of god is your Lord Zhenbei, and what is it?"

The reason is that he has a green hat on his head, but the emperor will not blindly condone the Duke of Zhenbei, because he is the overlord of the Central Plains after all. Guan Suyi shook her head secretly, thinking that apart from her father, grandfather, and maternal grandfather, there are really no good men in the world.

"Don't say it! Don't say these words in the future! I beg you!" Zhao Luli showed shame. He understands Huo Shengzhe's suspicious and ruthless temperament better than anyone. But compared with his suspicion and suppression, he couldn't bear to be despised and despised by him. He had already lost, but he didn't want to lose too badly.

"If I don't say it, can it be considered that this incident didn't happen?" Guan Suyi finally gave him a straight look, "Of course I can suppress the rumors. But I came from a poor family, so how could the servants of the Hou residence truly respect me? It's accepted on the surface, but it's not clear what's going on behind the scenes. Now that the world has been decided, the government is not stable, and many pairs of eyes are staring at the Hou's mansion. The rumor-mongers behind me want to see my jokes about Guan's family, but they don't know how to make the Hou's mansion into the sky. Big joke. You have to figure out a solution for this matter. I know you were pretending to be drunk on your wedding day, and I also know that you avoided me on purpose. You have unsolved problems, so I can wait. Since you are married into the Hou residence, I will live a good life with you, but the premise is that you respect me and trust me. I, Guan Suyi, also have a strong and arrogant body, and I cannot tolerate slander and trample."

Even after Xiaotao's words, Zhao Luli lost his temper, but was attracted by his wife's firm and deep eyes. In his impression, his wife is gentle, elegant, and quiet, and she can be said to be a person who has no sense of existence. However, at present, she has become so lively and flamboyant, and Zhao Luli, who is used to seeing weak women shaken. She is willing to wait for him, and she is willing to face the problems of the Hou Mansion with him, and she is more willing to talk frankly and openly. It's good, really good.
