Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"Yes, Your Highness. Your Highness, this is the purchase brochure for the next quarter."

After Hu Shanggong finished her response, the little palace maid behind her handed over several thick books to Wanxiu.

"Another season?"

Zhang Xin had a headache. Speak of the devil and he will appear. Speak of spending money and the money will come pouring in.

"Yes, your highness, another season has begun."

Hu Shanggong answered with a smile.

"so fast."

Zhang Xin sighed.

Wait until I have finished reading the purchased brochures.

Zhang Xin packed herself up and ran to find Xu to get the news.

In fact, she was already very familiar with the affairs of the harem.

She was more concerned about Yang Shiqi, whom she had mentioned to Zhu Gaochi last night.

My mother-in-law has always been very good at judging people.

Moreover, the mother-in-law has a father-in-law.

Don't get too much first-hand information.

Sure enough, when Zhang Xin asked Xu, she found out that she knew everything.

“The Imperial Guards have checked.

When Yang Shiqi was one year old, his father Yang Zijiang passed away. He followed his mother to remarry Luo Zili, who was then the Tongzhi of De'an, and took his stepfather's surname Luo.

The Luo family did not treat Yang Shiqi as an outsider.

Since childhood, Luo Zili took Yang Shiqi to the Luo family ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, and they were naturally worshipping the ancestors of the Luo family.

When he was five or six years old, when Yang Shiqi went to worship his ancestors, he would make a god tablet out of mud and kneel down to worship it alone. The person he was worshipping was his biological father.

It is said that when Luo Zili saw that Yang bowed to his biological father, he felt that he would become a great man in the future, so he allowed him to resume his surname Yang.

Later, Luo Ziri was demoted and exiled to Liaodong, where he died.

Yang Shiqi started to support his mother when he was twelve years old. He relied on teaching students himself.

Xu said as she thought.

"He was only one year old when his biological father died. What could he know? Just because he worshipped his biological father, he thought he would become a great man? This..."

Zhang Xin's eyes widened.

"This scholar can say that it is obvious that the Luo family thinks he is not fertile enough. How can a one-year-old child remember his biological father? It is just that his mother has not forgotten."

Xu sneered.

"It's possible that the Luo family let something slip."

Zhang Xin weakly mentioned another possibility, that such stepson would usually be ostracized by the people of the sect.

"The grace of giving birth is not as good as the grace of raising. He is already five or six years old, and you still say he is precocious and smart, and can be taught in his teens. Father Luo has taken him to worship the ancestors, which means he is raising him like his own son. How can you not tell the good from the bad?"

According to Xu's opinion.

It could only be that Yang Shiqi's mother was still thinking about him, and she had often told Yang Shiqi not to forget his biological father.

If Yang Shiqi's mother could not forget Yang Shiqi's father, she could not marry.

After getting married, the child also changed his surname, and became a member of the Luo family.

What's the point of Yang Shiqi doing this? Trampling on other people's kindness?

Why does the Luo family do this?

Wouldn't this mean that he would change back to his original surname early?

"The Luo family was quite generous. They felt that they couldn't raise him well, so they provided him with education and raised him until he was a teenager..."

Zhang Xin was sure that she had never heard of this in her previous life. She didn't even know that Yang Shiqi's mother had remarried.

"Well, the Luo family has done their best. As for Yang Shiqi, it was all his own fault. But this is the way he got out of this situation."

Xu felt that Yang Shiqi was unwilling to endure the hardship.

From this perspective, it makes sense that Luo's father thinks he will become a great man.

The act of making his own ancestral tablet immediately broke the original intention of his stepfather Luo Ziri to protect him.

Later, after Luo Zili was demoted, exiled and died, why didn't the Luo family protect the mother and son?

It is precisely because Yang Shiqi’s surname is not Luo.

Once Luo Zili died, he would have to support his mother on his own.

But Xu wondered, how did this man support his mother?

This was the foundation laid for him by the Luo family when they raised him.

This is the foundation he laid by eating and taking things from the Luo family for more than ten years.

He said that he was poor and studious in his early years, and was well versed in the opinions of hundreds of schools of thought when he was just over ten years old.

Ha ha.

In this world, poverty, love of learning and being well-versed in the opinions of all schools of thought are three things that cannot be combined together.

How can a poor family afford hundreds of books?

Even in rich families, not all children are educated.

It is certain that there is someone behind Yang Shiqi, but he is nothing more than a small dot on the web woven by those aristocratic families.

"Then why did Dad choose him?"

Zhang Xin didn't quite understand.

Wasn’t the former crown prince killed by these people?

“Men and women see things differently.”

Xu tapped Zhang Xin's forehead and smiled.

“For example, if a child falls down, most men will tell the child to stand up on his own. If the child cries, the man will think he has no future.

Most women would go forward to take a look, fearing that if the person fell hard, he would get hurt further if he tried to get up.

When a child coughs, the woman thinks the child is sick and bedridden, but the man doesn't notice at all.

Men don’t think about what might happen, but most women worry about what might happen.

Why are most gamblers men? When men go to gamble, they only think about how to spend their winnings, and never think about what to do if they lose.

Your father also has this gambling nature.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with Yang Shiqi's behavior. Who doesn't want to trace their roots?

In your father's eyes, those who can do the work are good subjects.

Whether you can return home or not, your father has always been very popular. "

"So, Mom let Dad gamble?"

Zhang Xin understood.

"There are many ministers. If they are no longer useful in the future, they can be replaced. The same goes for ministers. If the emperor is no longer useful, the idea is to replace him. It's all the same."

Xu is quite open-minded.

The so-called loyalty is hard to come by.

If the so-called Son of Heaven is destined to fall into the hands of others, it is beyond human control.

Anyone who sits on the supreme position will fall if he is not supported by heaven and tries to rise to the top by force.

"I'm back! Guess what I brought back?"

While Zhang Xin was thinking, Zhu Di came into the house from outside, with a eunuch behind him carrying a food box.

As soon as he saw Zhang Xin, Zhu Di put away his expression of offering a treasure, coughed dryly, and let go of the front hem of his dragon robe.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Dad, my daughter-in-law is leaving!"

Zhang Xin made a prompt decision.

withdraw.

It’s different now with the cabinet. I come back so early and in a good mood.

A while ago, my father-in-law had a gloomy face every day.

Zhang Xin has a lot of experience with this.

Every day there are endless memorials to read and endless worries to worry about.

She was still okay at that time, as she only needed to make decisions for important matters.

For some minor matters, the cabinet handles them on its own.

She just needs to see the results.

It seems that the father-in-law still has to do many things in the current cabinet himself.

I guess next, my father-in-law will look for a young eunuch who can learn to read and write comments on memorials for him.

After everything is on track, I will continue to be a hands-off boss and fight the battles that my father-in-law wants to fight. . . .

When Zhang Xin returned to her residence.

Not only did Zhu Gaochi come back, but all the children in the imperial city were now by his side.

Princess Baoqing, Zhu Zhanji, Tang Sai'er, Lin San, Prince Ning's two sons Zhu Pan'an and Zhu Pan'ye, and Zhu Gaoxu's son Zhu Zhanhe.

Zhang Xin could hear the screams of a group of children of similar age but of two generations from afar.

When I entered the house, I saw it was a mess.

Zhu Gaochi looked like he had lost all hope in life.
