Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

It took two months to come and only one month to go back.The little prince's horse was so tired that it was foaming at the mouth, so he returned to the palace.

As soon as King Cheng heard that his brat was back, he rushed to see him. He probably hit a tree.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the princess holding the little prince and crying bitterly. King Cheng's heart tightened and he ran in quickly, thinking that something had happened.

In the end, the kid in his family was still fine, but he was in a mess when he cared about it. He even forgot how much his princess was a crybaby.

In fact, there have been changes. The little prince used to like to tease cats and dogs, and everyone was smiling and glib, but now, he seems to have grown up overnight, with cold eyes and a stern face. Said it was really the same as the old man he hadn't seen for a long time.

After the princess felt distressed for a while, she got up and wiped away her tears and left.Only then did King Cheng find an opportunity to say a few words to the young prince.

"Why, hit a tree?" Cheng Wang teased.

The little prince was silent.

"I just said that Zhang Shu is a difficult person with a stubborn temper. You must not be able to deal with him."

"not him."

"He is a man, if you want to say-what, isn't he? That's his husband? I remember that his husband didn't strongly object at that time..."

"It's not Uncle Jin either."

"Oh——" Cheng Wang stretched his voice, "I see, it's because my little brother didn't like you, and I told you that I usually look like the best in the world, isn't it—"

"Stop talking!" The little prince suddenly stood up and swept everything off the table.His eyes were red, his teeth were clenched, and he looked painful.

King Cheng suppressed the smile on his face, and looked at this kid seriously.After coming back for so long, the clothes are still dusty and full of dust, it seems that they haven't been changed yet.It was only a month or so before he received the letter from Fei Ge, which meant that it only took him about a month to rush back from Anyang County, and he was basically on his way.

When the concubine was crying just now, the boy didn't comfort him with glib words, but just sat there blankly, it seems that this time he really hurt his heart.

"Tell me the ins and outs of this matter. If they really hurt you, I will not tolerate it. Don't worry, my father, although I have no power, is enough to deal with ordinary people." King Cheng deliberately tried he.

The little prince was very anxious when he heard this, and quickly said, "Don't meddle in my affairs!"

"What are you talking about? You are my son. They have bullied my son, and they won't allow me to teach him a lesson." Cheng Wang said while looking at the expression of the little prince, and saw that his brows were frowning. Lock, with a disapproving expression on his face, added another fire, "Well, let their property be confiscated and exiled to the southern border."

"No!" The little prince refused straight away, and then saw his father smiling like a fox that stole a chicken, and said cheerfully, "I see, you are back, but Kexin is still there , what happened, tell your father, and I can give you an idea." A warm palm covered his head and rubbed it a few times, which he had never experienced since he was 15 years old. The little prince suddenly felt that he had returned to his childhood, and the tears he had endured all the way finally fell down.

"Father, I let that little spy deceive me again!" When the little prince mentioned the little spy, his heart ached.

King Cheng listened patiently. It turned out that the young prince thought that the Zhang family had joined forces to watch him make a fool of himself, and when it was time to propose a marriage, he refused him outright.The most hateful thing is Zhang Qianjin, who pretended to be affectionate before and deceived him into a boy's heart, but he didn't put his feelings into it at all, and regretted it when he said he regretted it. Obviously, the day before was fine, and the next day Just rejected him for some inexplicable reasons.The little prince was so angry, he felt pain in his heart and couldn't hold back his face, he beheaded the wild goose's head and came back without a day's delay.

The little prince was crying, with snot and tears like the little fat man who complained.

Cheng Wang sighed, his elder brother is 16 years old, let’s say he hasn’t grown up yet, his family is 20 years old, why doesn’t he look like he hasn’t grown up?He bent his fingers and wanted to tap him, but he couldn't bear to see him crying like this.

"Do you know what the saddest thing about your concubine mother is?" he asked suddenly.

The little prince shook his head, the concubine didn't say that.

"The saddest thing for her is that seven years ago, your grandmother passed away, and she couldn't send her a ride." Luzhou is much farther away from the capital than Anyang County, and it was when the court was in turmoil. They received a funeral report At the time of the letter, his mother-in-law had been buried for more than two months.

The princess was dumbfounded when she received the letter, unable to cry.She didn't dare to show it, and then she was too worried. After the matter was over, she could only get up after lying in bed for about half a year, washing her face with tears every day.

Only then did the little prince know that his mother and concubine were sick at that time because of this, and he thought it was frightened by the rebels.

"Your mother and concubine will go to the Small Buddha Hall to sit down and pray for your grandmother. If your grandfather is not in good health, she probably wants to go back to Luzhou for a year or two."

The little prince was thoughtful, "I always thought that the concubine mother and the others had a good life when they married so far away. The concubine mother never told me that she wanted to go home too. Neither did anyone else..."

"Qianjin is a good brother. He must be worried about these things before rejecting you. It's nothing to you, but it's a big deal to him."

"But he didn't tell me—" The little prince suddenly lost his voice. As he said, something was wrong with him that night.

The little prince thought he was considerate enough to ask Zhang Qianjin to spend more time with his father and father, but in fact he had never carefully understood Qianjin's thoughts at all.

"The tree is hundreds of feet tall, and the leaves fall back to the roots. The homeland is the most difficult to leave. Your mother and concubine marry far away, which is not her wish. Everything is the emperor's order. But the daughter has the right to choose."

"Besides, you think Zhang's family has cheated you, why don't you think about it, is it you who are ridiculed more, or Qianjin who is criticized more? Can they make up for their brother's innocence and set up a scheme to deceive you? You are too impulsive."

The little prince was dumbfounded. He thought he was the most wronged person in the world, but he didn't expect that the morals of the world are more harsh on brothers than men. What should he do if he did something wrong?At that time, he was too decisive, Qianjin and the others would never forgive him.

In fact, he heard Qianjin crying at that time, but he still left.He felt that Qianjin should understand his situation, but he never thought that he should also think differently.

King Cheng left at some point, and the little prince sat at the table thinking for a whole night, and made a decision in his heart.

……

The Zhang family is very worried. Qianjin is like a wandering spirit recently. No matter what she does, she is absent-minded.

Zhang Shu understands that it is always hard to let go of the person who puts it in his heart for the first time. In his last life, he was not able to be a pair with Li Muzhen, not to mention how uncomfortable he was. Li Muzhen is the same, and he still misses him when he grows old.

But this child is stubborn, and when the family tried to persuade him in turn, he agreed well, but he still felt uncomfortable in the blink of an eye.And since he cried once when he proposed marriage that day, he never cried at other times, but his forced smile made them feel more distressed than crying.

But Zhang Qianjin still cried out because of Erbao.

Erbao and Qianjin are two years apart, and they usually quarrel at home, but their relationship is much better than that of Zhang Sanbao, who is still ignorant.

His little face was already a bit resolute, "Brother Yao, you should marry me. After I succeed in my studies and I am admitted to the first prize, I will move to the capital with my whole family. At that time, you don't have to worry about your family. I feel sorry for myself."

Zhang Qianjin stood there blankly, looking at the serious Erbao, the only Erbao who called him by his name.Although he didn't think much about it, all he wanted was to keep him from being wronged.

Zhang Qianjin rushed over, hugged Er Bao and began to cry.When Erbao was at a loss, Zhang Sanbao and Li Yuanyuan also rushed over, hugging Zhang Erbao's legs from left to right, "Brother, don't cry, whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The two little fat men who had shouldered a major task cried worse than Zhang Qianjin.

After this day, Zhang Qianjin no longer forced himself, he stayed in the room when he was in a bad mood, and still talked and laughed with everyone when he was in a good mood.

He didn't throw away anything that the little prince gave him.Some people have such a strong sense of existence that they are more concerned about throwing things away, so they don't have to waste things.

When Zhang Qianjin has nothing to do, she will sit by the window and play, recalling the origin of everything in detail.He was too impulsive at the time, if he hadn't spoken out on the day of the marriage proposal, maybe things would turn around and the problem could be overcome slowly.But he chose the most hurtful way and rejected him in front of everyone.

At that time, he also saw the pain of the little prince, but thinking of his family, he still retreated.In the final analysis, is it just that he doesn't love deeply enough?Those people in the storybook can abandon everything for love, but he will never be able to do this.

Two years later

The daughter of the Zhang family is still very famous in this area. I heard that Master Zhang handed over his three shops in Anyang County and the three shops in Zhangzhou Port to him for management. Nanhai County is too far away, and the two shops there are still managed by Master Zhang himself. with.

One brother manages six shops, and the business is even better than when Mr. Zhang managed it himself. This has to be admired.

It is said that when he was a child, he caught the abacus when he caught Zhou. At that time, Master Zhang even made a small abacus for him to hang around his neck!It's just that no one has seen him wearing it in the past few years. It is probably hidden and prepared for future generations.

However, Zhang's elder brother is already eighteen this year, and it is reasonable to say that he is quite old. People who came to ask for marriage broke the threshold of his family, but he didn't see any good things with him.

A young man was playing with what they called a small abacus in his sleeve, moving the beads on it back and forth to hide his uneasiness.

He was tall and handsome, his brows and eyes were full of determination, his skin was slightly dark, and he looked like he often basked in the sun.When he stood on the bow, he attracted all the eyes of the big girl and the little brother, but he lowered his head and didn't look at anyone.

Nanhai County is an important trading port of the imperial court, where many sailors are raised all the year round, in order to protect the safety of this side.

This year, an imperial decree was issued, the emperor assigned Nanhai County to the Chengwang Mansion, and allowed it to collect one-tenth of the tax.King Cheng refused, but one request was that they would move their family to Nanhai County, including the old concubine who was living in the palace.

The emperor repeatedly tried to persuade them to stay, but in the end they had already decided to go, so they could only sigh and send them away.As for the words of letting the tiger go back to the mountain, he ignored it.Without military power, without real power, he can still make big waves, so he won't be wronged if he loses.

The announcement hasn't been posted yet, but all the officials know about it.Everyone said that the emperor was really kind to Prince Cheng.But the brothers who fought together refused all the rights at their fingertips, so the emperor naturally liked it.

There was a commotion in the naval camp, because they didn't know that the Baihu adults in the camp were the only son of King Cheng until the imperial decree came down.Such a big person has been lurking in their place for so long without making a sound. Except for going out every now and then, he can't tell any difference from them at all.

The little prince went out to see Zhang Qianjin. Before he was sure, he didn't dare to show up at all. He only watched him secretly, and took action to protect him when he was in danger.Every time someone stepped into Zhang's house with a big gift to ask for marriage, that foot seemed to be stepping on his heart, and it hurt him a lot.He was very afraid, Zhang Qianjin agreed to marry someone else before he was ready.Fortunately, Qianjin refused every time.

He didn't know that Zhang Qianjin actually knew that he was by his side.Even every time Xiu Mu came to visit him, someone would inform him in advance.Those so-called bad guys were also found by Zhang Qianjin herself, in order to force the elusive little prince out to meet him.

The good father of the little prince wrote a letter to Zhang Shu when he paid the money to sign up for the navy camp. The letter said that he would give the little prince three years to settle everything. He couldn't do it, and from then on, the marriages were irrelevant. In the past three years, the daughter was not allowed to marry others, otherwise don't blame them for snatching the marriage.

Zhang Shu was so angry that he wanted to go to the capital to give King Cheng an old punch, but knowing his son Mo Ruofu, how could he not understand the daughter's thoughts?This child is affectionate, I am afraid it will be difficult to let go of the little prince.

That's all, since both sides still have feelings, why should he be a bad guy in vain?He told Qianjin about this, and after a long silence, Qianjin said, "Three years, I can wait."

The little prince was still at the bow of the boat facing the wind, uneasy, but he didn't know that the daughter had already gone down to the kitchen with a smile on her face, and was preparing wine and food to greet him.
