Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

"Good marksmanship!"

The Queen's brother-in-law Zheng Xiao naturally looked down on Chen Tao. They were not the same kind of people.

In the book, when Gu Er married Minglan, Liang Han, as his brother-in-law, wanted to make things difficult for him, so he asked for advice on how to use a spear. Zheng Xiao then stepped forward to take on the challenge.

Now, hearing Gu Er praising Chen Tao's marksmanship as unparalleled in the world, even better than his, he couldn't help but want to compete.

Let’s compare!

Chen Tao was not polite. He shook off the long stick in Zheng Xiao's hand with one move, and then stabbed the stick in front of him with the second move.

In order to save face, Zheng Xiao smiled and praised him for his good shooting skills.

"Accepted!"

Chen Tao smiled back.

He is not afraid of offending people now.

Have you ever played Dynasty Warriors?
Chen Tao could carry a mace and use a few rope claws to charge directly into the palace and crush the emperor.

"Brother, why should you be so modest? Just by looking at your majestic body, I know that you are an invincible warrior. I expected to lose to you, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even take a single blow. I am really ashamed."

Zheng Xiao didn't think about revenge.

He heard from his wife Xiao Shen that after hearing Gu Er's recommendation, the Queen's sister-in-law seemed to be very optimistic about Chen Tao and was willing to promote him.

He naturally wants to make friends.

However, Chen Tao didn't want to make friends.

Chen Tao is still struggling with whether or not to do something.

If they really wanted to do it, then under normal circumstances, neither the Zheng family nor the Shen family, the king's uncle, would have any chance of survival.

Surrender is not an option.

The brothers put their heads on their trousers and fought for you, not for ideals, but for interests. If you accept his surrender, where will the brothers get their money?
"Brother Zheng, that's great!"

Chen Tao smiled and said modestly: "I am just a brave man. I don't know how to lead an army in battle. I am far inferior to Brother Zheng."

According to the setting, Zheng Xiao is the so-called left deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, and his brother Zheng Jun is the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards. It can be seen that their family is deeply bound to the emperor.

Zheng Xiao laughed heartily and said, "The barbarians often invade our borders. Brother, if you want to lead the army, you will definitely have the opportunity in the future."

As they spoke, the two men put down their sticks and returned to the table together.

The song and dance troupe next to them also returned to the center of the stage and began dancing.

Chen Tao was obsessed on purpose.

Yuanyuan couldn't help feeling jealous and secretly pinched him twice.

Chen Tao said confidently, "Can't you just take a look? I asked you to practice the piano and learn some music, but you refused. Now I'm watching others, and you're dissatisfied. This is really unreasonable! Confucius was right. Girls are really hard to raise!"

Yuanyuan became even angrier, but Chen Tao handed the wine to her lips and said with a smile:
"Don't look so sad! Come, I'll feed you myself!"

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah…

For a moment, a familiar yet strange and weird tune seemed to sound.

Yuanyuan first rolled her eyes at this ancient scumbag, then took a sip.

"That's right! It's a rare opportunity to come here, so have fun!"

Then Chen Tao warned, "But don't drink too much. You still have to go back to handle official business for me at night. I have to stay here and build relationships with them."

Yuanyuan is not a fool, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Using connections? You obviously think I'm getting in the way of your life of luxury! I don't care, you have to send me home tonight, otherwise I will secretly leave the capital and you will never find me in your life."

"Do you really want to learn from Madam Liuli?"

Madam Liuli initially left Gao Tanhua because she failed to become his legal wife. From then on, she hid her whereabouts, followed him secretly, but never showed up.

It was not until Gao Tanhua was surrounded by enemy troops that a fire bull formation appeared and saved the young husband, and the story ended happily.

A little husband indeed.

Since this Lady Liuli knew how to make glass and worked as a famous prostitute for a while after traveling through time, she couldn't be younger than the sixteen-year-old Tanhua scholar, so it was natural that she was an old cow eating young grass.

"Can't I learn?"

"No! I'll take you home."

"Hehe, that's more like it!"

"Yuanyuan, you've fallen in love with me."

"Haha, don't get me wrong! It's only because your mother is so kind to me that I help her keep an eye on you to prevent you from learning bad things."

"You are not sincere! My dear Yuanyuan, you must not lie to yourself. You do love me, but you are too shy to admit it."

"Pfft hahaha..."

Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing and fell into Chen Tao's arms.

Although she was dressed as a man, no one was surprised. How many of you here haven't played with a handsome boy? This is an elegant thing.

In the evening, Chen Tao really went home with Yuanyuan. He wanted to tease Ruomei, but Yuanyuan couldn't bear it, so she pulled him into the inner room, played a few games of chess, and then let him go to find Hongyu.

Hongyu is not as thin now, but still just as easy to bully.

After Chen Tao finished bullying, he asked with concern: "Have you discussed who will have the child first?"

Hongyu hugged his waist, her voice full of tenderness and affection: "Let Sister Xiuzhu give birth to you first!"

She and Xiuzhu and the others had been friends since childhood, and they were childhood sweethearts. But the hierarchy was really hard to overcome.

Chen Tao chuckled and said, "I want you to give birth together, okay?"

Hongyu nodded: "You can do whatever you want, sir."

Chen Tao said, "Then I'll carry you to find Xiuzhu?"

Hongyu said in a tense voice: "No!"

No matter how weak she was, she would rather spend the night with Chen Tao alone than share it with others.

Chen Tao did not insist, and changed the topic and asked with concern: "Has your brother's marriage been settled?"

In addition to her unmarried younger brother, Hongyu also has an older brother who is already married. He is now the manager of the southern branch of the Liang family and is a relatively honest and loyal person.

Well, before the incident, everyone was honest.

Hongyu smiled and said, "It's settled! I've seen that girl before. She's gentle and lovely. She's a perfect match."

Chen Tao asked curiously again: "What does your sister-in-law look like? Is she as pretty as you? I'll go to your house to take a look when I have time."

Hongyu was of course very clear that he had no intentions towards his sister-in-law, but was just used to being interested in pretty girls, so she smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is prettier than me, but she is a little shy, so you must not scare her."

"It doesn't matter if my sister-in-law is afraid of strangers. As long as you are not afraid, Hongyu, I will feel relieved."

"..."

Hongyu was naturally not afraid anymore and immediately entangled Chen Tao again.

It is the beginning of May in the lunar calendar, not yet the hottest season.

But the room was very hot, burning with passion.

The next morning, Chen Tao took two pregnant women who were not getting along well with him to his stepmother, Mrs. Liang, to have breakfast.

Mrs. Liang looked left and right, feeling extremely happy.

No matter what, there must be a son among these two babies, right? As long as Chun Ge didn't give birth to a concubine's eldest son, it would be fine.

Chen Tao held a bowl of fish porridge that Minglan had come up with and deliberately asked, "Mom, who do you love more, Mo'er or Minglan?"

Of course, Mrs. Liang likes Minglan more.

But she couldn't be too direct, so she just rolled her eyes at her son, smiled and tried to smooth things over, and asked back with interest:
"Mo'er is well-behaved and affectionate, while Minglan is virtuous and gentle. As a mother, I love them both. What about you? Which one do you love more?" As soon as these words came out, the two sisters who originally cared about her evaluation, immediately focused their attention on Chen Tao.

Compared with the likes of the mother-in-law, the likes of the husband are more important.

Chen Tao looked at Molan and saw that her eyes were full of encouragement.

Then he looked at Minglan again. The look of this time-traveling girl was very pitiful.

After all, she is not a real girl, so her acting is a bit stiff.

Chen Tao retracted his gaze and also tried to smooth things over with a smile:
"Mother is right! I love both Mo'er's passion and Minglan's virtue. Both loves are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low."

Minglan thought it was okay.

Although she was also amorous and had seduced men many times, she didn't want Mrs. Liang to know about it.

After all, she has always believed that the ability to manage the household is the most important, so she particularly likes this virtuous evaluation.

Molan was unhappy.

She is naturally passionate, but she is also very virtuous!

Is it Minglan's only credit that the house is well managed? She also works hard to manage it!

After meal.

Chen Tao went to Bingmasi.

After Molan and Minglan chatted with Mrs. Liang about some family matters, they went back to rest.

Well, not quiet.

Molan accused: "I never thought that my sixth sister was such a shameless and vulgar vixen. Not only did she seduce her husband, she even deceived her mother-in-law. She even took the credit for my housekeeping and claimed the reputation of being virtuous. She is so shameless!"

Minglan sneered, "It's obvious that I have made greater contributions. Why are you dissatisfied? Without my help, even Chun Ge could bully you, not to mention Yuan Yuan? Ruomei, who I arranged for her, has already gained Yuan Yuan's trust. Qiu Jiang, the maid you arranged for Chun Ge, can't even enter the house! You still have the nerve to argue!"

Molan's pretty face, which had become round due to pregnancy, flushed red, and she argued, "Chun Ge and Yuan Yuan are different."

"Pull him down quickly!"

Minglan raised her leg and commanded, "Give me a leg massage as a token of my gratitude!"

Molan couldn't help it and immediately reached out to pinch Minglan's face.

Minglan was not willing to be outdone and immediately fought back.

The two pregnant women were playing a turn-based game like this, you pinch me first, then I twist you, to kill time.

Most of the time it's boring.

Minglan has gotten used to it after all these years since she traveled through time.

After having a husband, life is more interesting than being in the Sheng Mansion.

It’s noon.

Rulan, who is already a married woman, brought her maids and old women over again. The three sisters quarreled with each other, played chess and card games, gossiped from time to time, and occasionally discussed raising children. What a peaceful, leisurely and comfortable life!

Many readers believe that Wu Jinxiao, the head of the Jia family in Dream of the Red Chamber, must have embezzled a lot of the Jia family's money.

But the scene in the 1986 version of the drama where the group of people traveled in the middle of the night in the wind and snow and worked hard to deliver New Year's goods to the Ningguo Mansion really explains a lot of problems.

These people who are carrying heavy burdens forward, including Minglan, don't care, nor do they have the ability to care.

Chen Tao also does not have the ability to go against objective laws.

Let alone anything else, it is difficult to engage in education these days. Who the hell would give up learning Confucianism, which can help one become an official, and instead learn some scientific knowledge from you?

The production of three acids and two alkalis, one of the industrial foundations, and all the upstream and downstream related industrial groups, just rub your hands!
No matter how many tricks you use, aren't you still being herded like cattle and horses?
The reality is not like playing games, you can't just click the mouse, and those people will not listen to you 100%.

The achievements of modern society do not rely on a few people, but are the result of the blood and tears of countless people.

At the same time, he had no such intention.

This kind of plot world cannot make him feel a sense of belonging. When the mission time is up, he will often leave. In this case, is it necessary to meddle in other people's business?

***
The aftermath of the previous fight for position shows no signs of stopping.

The emperor was too serious, and many people were dissatisfied with this.

How did Cao Cao treat his subordinates who secretly colluded with Yuan Shao? Why can't you learn from him?

In the final analysis, it’s because you, the royal family, didn’t make a proper handover!

Even Gu Er's aide, Mr. Gongsun, who married Ruomei in the book, and who was from the emperor's lineage, felt that this was really too much.

Early June.

The weather is getting hotter.

However, everyone in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion felt a chill in their hearts.

The father and his two sons from the fifth room were first taken to the Dali Temple for questioning. Not long after they were released, Xiao Qin's biological son Gu Tingwei and the fourth room's second son Gu Tingbing were also taken away for investigation.

Gu Tingbing was the one who had an affair with Gu Er's wife Yu Yanhong, and took the initiative to go to Prince Ni's mansion to show his courtesy.

Xicheng Bingmasi.

Office of the Deputy Commander.

Chen Tao leaned back in his chair, drinking the ice drink brought by his secretary Yuanyuan, and said leisurely:

"The eldest of the Gu family will probably ask Gu Er to go to the palace to plead for mercy. And considering that he won't live long, Gu Er will agree, and the palace will forgive him."

Yuanyuan asked curiously, "If he were to inherit the throne, would his stepmother and brothers have any objections?"

As for Xiao Qinshi, she had neither read the original novel nor watched the relevant plot of the TV series.

Although I haven't read it, I can guess that in the original novel, after marrying into the Gu family, Minglan will have interactions with Xiao Qin. Maybe this stepmother is even a villain!

So she cares more.

Chen Tao smiled and asked, "If I win a title in the future, but don't let your biological son inherit it, will you have any problem with me and Molan?"

Yuanyuan said angrily: "No! I will not give birth to a child for you!"

Chen Tao snorted, "Haha, this is not up to you! Even if you hide from me like Madam Liuli, I have the ability to find you easily. If you don't believe me, try it?"

Just give it a try!
Yuanyuan immediately turned around and tried to escape.

But Chen Tao grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, then he pulled her increasingly beautiful face with both hands and taught her:
"Don't run around! The world outside is really not peaceful. Even the wild forests outside the city are full of bandits. Where can you go? Just stay by my side."

Yuanyuan punched him a few times, and when he let go of her, she blushed and said:
"You are worse than a bandit!"

Chen Tao nodded: "That's right, how much can a bandit rob? I don't do anything, but I have endless money to spend and endless gifts to receive. Gu Er is even more awesome. When he inherits the title, won't his net worth be over a million? I'm so damn envious."

Yuanyuan burst out laughing and said, "Although you can't inherit the title, you can still prevent others from having the chance to become a noble or a marquis' wife!"

Obviously, she also knew that Gu Er went to find Chen Tao for Minglan and ended up becoming friends with Chen Tao.

Chen Tao whispered, "If I really get a title in the future, I will make you my legal wife and then ask for an imperial decree for you."

Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling when she saw his serious expression.

It’s actually very easy.

After Wang has poisoned the person, just make the matter known.

At that time, what qualifications would the Sheng family have to object?

As for whether doing so would result in the loss of the support of the Sheng family?

There is nothing to say.

Just based on Chen Tao's current good looks, which can be regarded as a dragon among men without beating up the fortune teller, there will probably be many brothers who want to care whether he is cold or whether he should put on a yellow coat when things get tough. The Sheng family is not the only one who can help him.

Besides, by that time, the Sheng family will definitely come over. (End of this chapter)
