rich concubine

Chapter 1799
Jiang Shunxiao's letter came on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and on this day, the eldest concubine of the Xie family also passed away peacefully due to illness.

Rong Yi just finished reading the letter and learned that he would be back soon. It seems that the relevant matters in the Zhu State have been arranged. On Rong Yi's way back to Beijing, the Zhu State had opened the city gate and announced its surrender. Unknown to him, Let the surrounding small countries look down upon you.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, whether you go out to visit relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings, or others come to your home to pay New Year's greetings, you must talk about this matter.

On the morning of the third day of the lunar new year, after having dinner at home, Rong Yi took the children to the palace. As Jiang Shunxiao's return was approaching, and their wedding was approaching, Rong Yi went to the palace with a group of guests paying New Year's greetings. After dinner, he left, naturally going to Fu's house.

The Fu family is no longer the Fu family it was two years ago. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the house is also bustling. Rong Yi feels like she is celebrating everywhere she goes.

Really not wanting to deal with the enthusiastic questions from some merchants, Rong Yi took Xiao Chun Ya and hid in the back room. At this time, both Su Ping and Lin Yin were very busy, and only Chun Ya could accompany her.

In Lin Yin's words, Chun Ya is now a very talkative little expert. With her around, he will never be bored even a day.

But Rong Yi didn’t expect that Chun Ya would also talk about Zhu Guo’s affairs. She said: “They are really strange. On the one hand, they despise Zhu Guo for surrendering too quickly and for being too cowardly, but at the same time they enjoy the fruits of victory after Zhu Guo’s surrender. , they have taken advantage of everything, and they will not let go of the advantages they talk about."

It is true that a country that surrendered without war will naturally be looked down upon by everyone wherever it goes. However, one has to be conscientious in everything he does and say. Rong Yi doesn’t understand political matters and battlefield matters. But Rong Yi doesn’t understand. What she understood was that even though the Zhu State had lost its dignity by surrendering like this, it had protected the people of the entire Zhu State from being harmed by war. From this perspective, the Zhu State royal family was very broad-minded. When he is older, he has a long-term vision and a kind heart.

The people of the Zhu Kingdom were constantly insulting the royal family, but Rong Yi found it ridiculous. People like them not only ensured that their lives would not change much, but also wanted to show their great temperament. In order to have such a The royal family felt ashamed.

Chunya also said: "They are really heartless people. Although the royal family of the Zhu Kingdom is not as powerful as our country, they are better than they know the current affairs. They know that they cannot defeat them, and they also know that once they fight, they will be hurt." It is always the common people who make such a choice to protect the best interests of the Zhu State, but are reviled by their own subjects. I really don’t know. If the Zhu State insists on going its own way and starts a war for the sake of the face of its royal family and the rights in its hands, At that time, what will happen? Do these people want their lives or their integrity?"

Chunya originally wanted to say "there will be countless casualties by then", but on the third day of the Lunar New Year, it would be unlucky to say anything about death or injury, so she replaced it with "that's what happened".

Rong Yi looked at this sharp-tongued little girl in surprise and asked, "Who taught you these principles and words? What you say and think is more than what some adults think."

Chun Ya said with a smile: "Of course it's dad. Dad said that he looked down on the people of the Zhu Kingdom who yelled and killed, and also looked down on those who insulted the royal family of the Zhu Kingdom behind their backs. He felt that they got an advantage and behaved well. Chun Ya usually likes to be with her dad. Daddy is also willing to talk to Chunya about these things."

Rong Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking about Fu Hezhong, but she didn't know that he could have such thoughts, which was far different from the him in his memory.

It is true that since he met his sister-in-law and got married, his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. He no longer has the scornful air he used to have, and his eyes are much more respectful when he looks at him, just like the man who climbed over the courtyard wall back then. He was not the one who stoned her door and said dirty words.Back then, Rong Yi had always thought about how a man as upright and loyal as his father could give birth to such a son, and she couldn't figure it out. It was clear that Fu Hezhong was so stubborn and had no respect for his mother, but her mother always firmly believed that he would Be filial to your parents and provide for her in her old age.

Rong Yi couldn't tell whether Lin Yin had changed him over the years or whether his nature was not that bad.

That he could say this to Chun Ya only made Rong Yi feel surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Rong Yi smiled slightly and said: "Perhaps this is the bad nature of people. While enjoying the warmth given by the sun, they complain that it is sometimes too hot, making it difficult for people to even go out. In short, growing up in the place of Zhu State , the common people who can say those words are not worthy of the royal family of Zhu State planning for them. When life safety is not an issue, a person's self-esteem and dignity are the most important. At this time, people should also pay attention to their temperament. We should pay attention to being noble, but once a person is stuck in the quagmire and no one can rescue him, his heart-breaking appearance will cause him to lose his dignity, his dignity, and his noble integrity, and he will become the most ordinary person among all living beings. People, people like this, huh..."

She added: "Although it is not convenient to say these words in front of people outside, I can still say it to a little girl like you. In fact, it is really surprising that the royal family of the Zhu Kingdom can make this decision. They surrendered without a fight." It is humiliating, but how many people can understand how much determination they made behind this decision? How much blood and tears were shed? Other small countries laughed at them for being cowardly and shameless, and actually surrendered the city in order to embrace Meng's lap. This It's a useless thing, because the board didn't hit them, they didn't feel any pain, so they naturally felt it didn't matter, and they could just say some nonsense."

In short, one of them ate her mother's breasts and still thought she was ugly, while the other was not afraid of the pain and just watched the show and made sarcastic remarks.

Chunya listened carefully. She nodded and said, "So, I like our country, it is strong and gentle."

After hearing this, Rong Yi was stunned for a long time. Meng Guo is strong and gentle. Now he is really strong, but gentleness... was cut with one knife and one sword. Can it be considered gentle?
But seeing the stars in the little girl's eyes, she was reluctant to tell her that Meng's strength was gained through victorious wars.

A strong country is never gentle, but it is not easy to do so if it has charters, beliefs, and bottom lines of principles.

Therefore, Rong Yi understands this "gentleness" from another angle, which is considered to be the right use.

After chatting with Chun Ya for a while, Rong Yi turned around and saw two little guys, Jiacheng and Jiayun, sitting over at some point, listening to them quietly. She couldn't help laughing, and asked them directly "Do you understand?" Seeing the confused expressions on the two children's faces, Rong Yi was about to laugh when she saw Lin Yin hurrying over and said before she could even catch her breath: "The eldest concubine of the Xie family...isn't there? Got it!"
