Father's love is like a mountain

Chapter 73

What about Zhou'an County?
Liu Yuzhen couldn't help but stop.

Under Li Tong's surprised gaze, she waved her hand, wanting to hear what Xia Yongchu had to say.

It's not that she wanted to eavesdrop, she knew very well that Xia Yongchu knew all about the movement that she had just walked out of the side room.

It's like she was meditating in the house, carrying Zhou Tian, ​​and Feng's maids brought her snacks to eat, and she could clearly capture the person outside the courtyard.

Eavesdropping or something, it doesn't exist.

Just listen to Xia Yongchu's earnest words: "What kind of image should the imperial court look like in your mind?"

Xia Qilie thought for a long time, and when he spoke, although his voice was immature, the content was orderly and well thought out: "A court should be just, majestic, and powerful."

Liu Yuzhen nodded unconsciously.

This answer, not to say whether it is correct or not, at least shows that this child under the age of 7 is really sensible and has seriously thought about this question.

Xia Yongchu chuckled: "I'll ask you again. Do you want to be really fair, majestic, powerful, or just look like this."

Xia Qilie thought for a long time before saying, "If it's really just, majestic and strong, then of course it's best. If it's really not good, at least it should look like this."

Xia Yongchu still didn't say whether his answer was correct or not, but continued to ask: "Then do you think that the imperial court's neglect of the matter of Zhou'an County will affect the image of the imperial court?"

After a long while, Xia Qilie said with difficulty: "Hearing father, you asked me this, I know the answer should be no influence. But I don't understand, how can it be no influence. A county with a population of 10 was massacred, and the court dared not If you don't dare to bring the murderer to justice, what will the people of the world think!"

Xia Yongchu chuckled: "People in the world, will they really know what happened in Zhou'an County?"

This topic was too serious, Liu Yuzhen didn't listen any more, and stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Yuzhen? Come in."

Li Tong opened the door for Liu Yuzhen, Liu Yuzhen walked in with small steps, and smiled at Xia Qilie.

Xia Qilie greeted with a smile, "Hello, Sister Liu!"

"Wrong, call me aunt." Liu Yuzhen went over and patted his head.

Xia Qilie raised his head and called out seriously: "Hello, Aunt Liu."

Liu Yuzhen's expression was a little broken, she glanced at Xia Yongchu, and saw that Xia Yongchu still had that hateful smile of controlling everything, she immediately gritted her teeth a little angrily.

Xia Qilie said sensiblely: "Father, my son will leave first."

Xia Yongchu waved his hand, "Go and play."

Xia Qilie had a bitter face, "Mother wants the child to recite the book for an hour, and after the memorization, it will take half an hour to post the paper."

"Oh, then you should finish the task early before going to play." Xia Yongchu would not fight against his wife Feng Jin.

There is a division of labor between the male protagonist and the female protagonist.

Take the matter of children's reading as an example, what teacher to invite and what books to read are Xia Yongchu's decisions.

But how long to study at home every day, as well as chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, etc., are all arranged by the wind.

If Xia Yongchu keeps meddling in the scope of her management, the servants will misunderstand that Xia Yongchu is dissatisfied with her and make her work more difficult.

It's not easy for Feng Jin. She is only 24 years old. If she were on earth, she would still be a "baby". Yes, watch dramas every day...

But Fengjin has to take care of a big family. In principle, she arranges all the internal affairs of the Xia Mansion—the mother-in-law, Qin, is no longer in charge of things, and she only cares about her grandchildren every day, enjoying life in peace.

In such a huge Xia Mansion, thousands of people eat and drink, all of which are managed by her.

She also has to worry about those tenants and farms in Xia Mansion.

It's not easy being a home.

So Xia Yongchu usually gives her face very much, even if there is a disagreement, in most cases it is Xia Yongchu who compromises.

After Xia Qilie left, Li Tong quietly exited the study, and Xia Yongchu asked Liu Yuzhen to sit down.

Liu Yuzhen has long been familiar with the furnishings in this study.

She sat casually on a rattan chair, swinging her legs very relaxedly, "The way you teach your children is very special."

Xia Yongchu smiled and said, "Is it special? I don't think so. How does your royal family educate their children?"

"When I was a child... No, I'm not from the royal family." Liu Yuzhen became vigilant.These days, under Xia Yongchu's strong request, she has started to use "I" to refer to herself.

This means that the relationship between the two is one step closer.

More intimate and informal.

Xia Yongchu smiled, and didn't take advantage of the victory to chase after her. After she married in, she would naturally say, don't be in a hurry, "Yuzhen, do you want something from me?"

"It's about practice..."

Well, "Teacher Xia's Small Classroom" will start again.

After explaining Liu Yuzhen's doubts, Liu Yuzhen said with emotion: "After entering the Qi training state, I feel that my cultivation speed has dropped sharply. In the past few months, I have hardly made any progress."

She smiled self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I'm really not talented, so I shouldn't wish to pursue the Dao."

Xia Yongchu said: "Actually, your talent is already very good. But practice is to climb a mountain. The further you go, the more difficult it is. In the later stage, it may take decades or hundreds of years to break through a level. If you don't If you can’t stand progress, then your mentality really needs to be tempered.”

After a long silence, Liu Yuzhen sincerely thanked her.

Looking at the time, it was almost noon, Xia Yongchu suggested: "Don't go back to the yard to eat, I'll eat it for you."

"This is not very good, your wife will have an opinion."

Thinking of the delicious noodles, Liu Yuzhen drooled, but hesitated.

Once or twice, it's okay.

But if Xia Yongchu feeds her more often, there will inevitably be some gossip, and Feng Jin, who is the official wife, will definitely have ideas.

"It's okay," Xia Yongchu didn't care, "I'll order a few more bowls, just invite them to eat together."

Liu Yuzhen didn't make a sound, and acquiesced.

But when she sat down at the table, she regretted it again.

On the left is Xia Yongchu's regular wife, Feng Jin.

On the right is Xia Yongchu's concubine, Feng Pei.

She is caught in the middle, what is it?
But when the noodles were on the table and the aroma wafted into her nostrils, she didn't care about thinking about it so much, she just ate it first as a respect.

Seeing Liu Yuzhen sipping noodles quickly, Feng Jin and Feng Mi couldn't help but smile at each other.

Before he finished eating, there was an urgent matter that Xia Yongchu needed to deal with.

So Liu Yuzhen chatted with Feng Jin and Feng Yu for a while.

She felt that Xia Yongchu's wives and concubines were both beautiful and kind, and they were easy to get along with.

In addition, she and Feng Mi have also had the experience of sharing weal and woe, so they can still talk.

Sometimes she would also think that, with her status and being a monk, it would be humiliating to be a concubine.

But if it is to be a concubine for a rare hero like Xia Yongchu... and to be sisters with these two women, it seems that it is not unbearable.

But whenever such thoughts arise, Liu Yuzhen will quickly kill them.

It is impossible to be a concubine.

To be a Taoist companion... No, just to be a Taoist friend.
