I can't die!I haven't ruled the world yet!

Chapter 224 Daily life in Nanxun
Nanxun's economy was prosperous and its folk customs were civilized earlier than Dayin.

This year is Chang Ning's twenty-fifth year.

Facts have proven that being busy can make people forget negative emotions.

The seven members of the harem really opened their own shop. They chose a central street in Fenning City. You can see it just ten miles away from the palace. The location is excellent, and renting it is not cheap.

But He Wanyi, that little rich woman, is not short of money. Moreover, their store is novel, has a large customer flow, has many dignitaries coming and going, spends generously, and has no worries about making a profit.

Entering the door on the first floor is the reception counter. He Wanyi initially did the accounting by himself, but later the flow of water became too high, so he had to hire an accountant.

No matter who owed a penny, she would definitely hunt him down for three thousand years. Therefore, everyone in Fengning City knows that the boss of the first floor in the world is obsessed with money.

To the west is Jiang Zhanmei's cat-loving sanctuary, where a singer is invited to play the piano and sing, surrounded by stereo sound effects. She used to love disco dancing to relieve stress, and she often went to nightclub 857, seven times a week from a.m. to a.m.

To the east is Xu Zhili's story-telling hall. As soon as the wooden door was knocked, I heard her full of emotion and vivid words: "Then she replied, it was too late, then it was too late, I saw..."

She is a good gossip with clairvoyance and ears, a female ambassador of integrity, good at solving crimes, and likes to tell stories and use this to promote correct ideas to the people.

The second floor is a restaurant, where Wen Renshu and Zuo Sisi are deeply involved. Due to their superb craftsmanship and the limited edition hunger marketing method, many customers come here in an endless stream.

The third floor is a wine shop, with private rooms for distinguished guests to discuss matters. Tang Fubai, that drunkard, wished he could sleep in a wine vat. Whenever he is drunk, he likes to show off his literary talent by borrowing other people's poems.

"Just drink in the east wind and embrace the moon. The spring will not allow you to look back. I want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus to carry the wine with me, but it is not the same. I am a young man. The willows are silent and the flowers are not gone. The autumn wind turns, don't stop. Let's raise a glass and let go of the eternal sorrow, and praise the poem. , Wu Xiaoyou.”

As for Yu Jiaojiao, she was tired of the handsome man brought by Dayin. She was a native of Nanxun and found him too feminine to look down on. She was attracted to an unknown Taoist priest for some reason and went to the next city to build the White Jade Jingshen Temple for him.
-
Bone City.

Songyang Academy, the sound of reading aloud.

"Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise. Those who conquer others are powerful, and those who conquer themselves are strong. Those who are content are rich. Those who force themselves are determined."

"The sky can be mended, the sea can be filled, and the southern mountains can be moved. The sun and the moon have passed, and they cannot be traced back."

Rong Cen and Jiang Yun walked side by side, entered through the side door, and entered the master's dormitory by the familiar route.

Counting to the fifth room of the blue-brick and white-tiled house, the two stopped and stood in front of the door, clasping their knuckles lightly.

Soon the sound of wheels was heard in the house, approaching from far away, and the door opened, revealing a familiar face.

Meng Qingzhuo only saw Rong Cen at first sight and smiled generously at her. When the door was fully opened and he saw the person next to her, he instantly stopped all goodwill.

He looked unhappy and said, "Come in."

"Why did you suddenly change your face?" Rong Cen pulled Jiang Yun into the courtyard and whispered to him, "Do you men also have... that kind of thing every month?"

A few years ago, Meng Qingzhuo suddenly surrendered to her and cooperated with her inside and outside to defeat the Lu family's conspiracy.

Also an Anzi was Gu Yizhou, but they made different choices. Rong Zhu ascended the throne, and Gu Yizhou stayed to assist. But Meng Qingzhuo insisted on following her to Nanxun. He knew her ambition and was willing to surrender.

Meng Qingzhuo hired a tutor at Songyang Academy to teach the Four Books and Five Classics, preaching, teaching and solving doubts. He has a wide range of knowledge and is especially good at power. Rong Cen often comes to ask him for advice.

Over the past few months, Meng Qingzhuo had indeed taught her many skills to see through human nature and how to be a king.

After getting familiar with him, I discovered that he was not as scary as I thought before. On the contrary, he was actually a very strange and contradictory person, which made people want to explore.

Meng Qingzhuo's health is actually not bad. He has outstanding talents and a good reputation. He pretends to be sick to reduce the threat and sense of existence. His legs were not paralyzed, but he was too lazy to walk.

Asked why he came to Nanxun, the other party slowly recalled the past.

A few years ago, Meng Qingzhuo ascended to the position of head of the family and became the secret leader of the Meng family. He was unparalleled in the clan. There were still brothers and sisters in the clan who were not convinced, but so what? He is the head of the family, and he is the one who talks about everything in the Meng family. The clan brothers openly provoked and secretly poisoned him, but to no avail.

In those two years, the family's fortune was not good, and they began to spread rumors that the new head of the family, Tiansha Lone Star, was a member of the clan. It's ridiculous. If you can't deal with it, you start to talk nonsense. If he had paid attention to these remarks, he would have killed himself to death in the middle of the night when he broke out of purgatory and heard those weird curse words.

When telling the story, Meng Qingzhuo had a look of contempt for all living beings, "I don't understand, I really don't understand, why those people are rushing to be the head of the family. They are so rubbish that they won't even be able to take over."

He even said it bluntly: "It's funny, I always feel that I occupy their position. Do you really think that being the head of the family is so easy? So many people have died, and there are always fools who want to climb into that position. Is it really true that they continue to die one after another?" He is a hero, but he is just a bunch of greedy people who are afraid of death. "

He himself revealed his secret for many years, but warned Rong Cen: Never expose your secrets, and never be afraid, otherwise the fish will die and the net will be broken. Don't talk superficially and talk deeply, and there will be no fear in your heart.

Meng Qingzhuo taught her that a person should have the heart of a Bodhisattva and the skills of a butcher. Compromising to someone who is too good is in itself an aid to evil. If one's behavior is unknown, then one's power cannot be measured. If the law is unclear, there will be no treatment; if the order is not implemented, it will not be strict. The butcher's knife hangs in the air, causing it to lose its position; if it falls, the opponent will unite and attack the outside world.

Mentioning that "everything is of inferior quality, only reading is good", he was disdainful and sneered: "Every man who slaughters dogs for justice is a scholar who betrays his heart."

He has been studying for nearly 20 years, but he looks down on scholars. For no other reason than he feels they are extremely hypocritical.

Rong Cen disagreed: "As long as I continue to study, I will be able to understand my own pain and confront my own ignorance, narrow-mindedness, prejudice and darkness. Many people say that they want to make peace with themselves, but I don't want to be such a person. , I want to polish my stone with stones. Reading is painful, but I love the joy that comes from the pain and desolation. It is a rare thing in life to come back with joy."

"As long as I am still studying, I can understand my reluctance and compete with my muteness, timidity, inferiority and insignificance. I want me to be enthusiastic, I want me to be brave, I want me to go further and read more books, Live passionately and beautifully. Constantly correct and improve yourself until you fully accept and accept yourself. Thank you for your perseverance, not for the suffering. Suffering itself is not worthy of praise. "

"I will look directly at my own desires and darkness. If you can't face yourself, you can't face other people. You have to understand the wider world in order to gain balance and know that this is not the only important thing to you. I think this is An important way to save your heart.”

"Standing on the top of the mountain is not to let everyone see me, but to let me see the world. See myself, see the world, and see all living beings."

"You're right." Meng Qingzhuo never denied her, but instead said: "A gentleman cherishes his reputation, and a villain cherishes his body. Everyone has shortcomings, and prescribing the right medicine will always be detrimental. Gentleman, a gentleman can be deceived."

Rong Cen came to Songyang Academy to look for him every ten days, three times a month, and he would always bring Jiang Yun with him once. It won't work without him, he will be jealous and stingy. That guy even wanted to transform into her Guanyin pendant and follow her every time.

Then she discovered that Meng Qingzhuo would be in a bad mood once a month. She didn't think about it elsewhere. After all, Jiang Yun was jealous and he only treated it as a joke.

Recently, Meng Qingzhuo didn't teach her anything, but started various debates.

For example, today——

He said: "The world is dangerous, but you must have a clear conscience."

This is a escapist theory that advocates inaction.

Rong Cen frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "But the world is ashamed of you, so how can you be willing to give up? You admit that you are not willing to give up, but you are willing to let it go. But some people are willing, some are helpless, and the confused world is mediocre. You can't do it without good clothes and food. If you know the world without being worldly, how can you still be a frog in a well when you see the light? How can you live as calmly as water? Who doesn't want to live a clean life, and who doesn't want to be upright and upright, but who can truly live like a family? How can one emerge from the mud without being stained? The world is like a big dye vat, and no one can escape without power."

She is born into the world, and she governs with purpose.

Meng Qingzhuo: "What you have to do is very difficult. They may realize it is wrong, but those people's thoughts and habits have long been ingrained, and their subconscious reactions and behaviors can no longer keep up with the pace of conscious awakening. "

"Then I will open schools to eliminate illiteracy, and all the people will learn new ideas from me and strive to become new youths!" Rong Cen raised his hand, his sleeves fluttered, and he suddenly became enlightened.

The people in Nanxun were civilized, so she never implemented changes. Only slowly did she realize that the so-called civilization was just an illusion of economic prosperity, and their ideas were still pedantic. We need someone to guide us in order to bring out the old and bring forth the new.

She knows what to do!

"You can be a hero, but don't sacrifice."

Meng Qingzhuo's instructions were left behind by her, and Rong Cen didn't even have time to pull Jiang Yun back and ran out on his own.

Outside the academy, the dashing and handsome woman in white got on her horse and drove away.

Jiang Yun and Meng Qingzhuo were left alone in the dormitory.

Jiang Yun closed the folding fan, his eyes as cold as ten years of ice: "Put away the thoughts you shouldn't have."

Meng Qingzhuo smiled: "I will never be able to stand by her side, but I will always stand by her side."

"It doesn't matter whether she chooses me or not, history will choose me for her."

"Since ancient times, the love between monarch and minister has been the most praised. How can I envy her if I can share history with her, be remembered forever, be sung by future generations, and be immortalized forever? We will live and die together in the same quilt and in the same coffin?"
-
Rong Cen returned to the palace and after the maids paid their respects to the Queen, she remembered that Jiang Yun had been left behind at Songyang Academy.

Looking at the bedside decorations, she inexplicably thought of her wedding night.

After the ceremony, she overheard Jiang Yun's conversation with the queen. The Queen asked him if he chose the one he truly loved. If it was just to piss off His Majesty, it wasn't worth it.

What did Jiang Yun say back?
At that time, he said: "Without a father to step forward, without a mother to guide her, and no one to support her, she has been like a weed over the years. She is a high-ranking person but has no place to stand. She protects the whole family with her body as a woman." In the country of Yin, it is as safe as a mountain in the wind and rain, and it shelters all the poor people in the world. She has done everything in her life, but in the end no one is willing to give her a safe haven."

"The world doesn't want it, but I do."

The last sentence came with a solemn expression and a firm tone. Before lifting the hijab, he called her in a low voice: "Jiayi, if your father is still here, he might secretly burst into tears and say to me: 'Let me drink tea with my virtuous son-in-law, and I will entrust you with the half-life pearl. ’, and then entrust you to me solemnly.”

(When my virtuous son-in-law comes to visit one day, I drink alone in the first half of the night, hoping that my daughter will leave the palace. In the second half of the night, I drink tea with my son-in-law, and entrust the half-life pearl to someone else. - From Gui Youguang's "Xiang Ji Xuan Zhi")
Rong Cen felt sour in her heart and was about to cry. She quickly changed the subject and said, "I am eighteen years old. I am considered to be fictitious, but I am actually still underage. Do you have the heart to do it?"

She and Jin Yu were born in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

The birthdays celebrated before were all Rong Cheng's birthdays, and the real birthday has not been celebrated yet.

"I'll be busy this year, and I'll hold a big birthday party for you next year."

Jiang Yun took her hand and kissed her tenderly, intertwining their fingers tightly. He put his other hand around her waist, rubbed the delicate soft flesh, hugged each other and slept in their clothes, "Go to sleep, I have been tired recently." , I won’t touch you yet.”

It didn’t say whether it would be until she reaches adulthood or when. Rong Cen acquiesced in the former and relaxed his vigilance. As a result, he was caught off guard by a surprise attack.

Before the marriage, Rong Cen was afraid that she would be bound by the rules and would not be comfortable if she suddenly changed from an empress to a wife.

As a result, Jiang Yun simply ignored the prince and threw the stall to her without caring about anything. That guy was so shameless after he got his status, and he only had that kind of thing on his mind.

Now, when Jiang Yun comes back, there will be another mess.

He loves to show off during the day.

After being turned over by the red wave, the scene was over. Rong Cen was so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers.

She glared at him angrily: "Jiang Wusi, you are too unpopular. You are already the crown prince, but you still rely on me to help you gain power and succession."

"In a story about a female protagonist, the biggest role of the male protagonist is to support the female protagonist, not to take care of her career."

When he arrived in Nanxun, he became even more lazy. And she accidentally learned that Emperor Chang Ning chose his name correctly, and Jiang Qixi was just his pseudonym. Rong Cen held a grudge and gave him the nickname "Jiang Wuself".

Of course, she never screamed when outsiders were around. She always gave him enough respect as a king and a husband.

Jiang Yun didn't care at all, as the little girl's nickname for him was everywhere. What's more, the names they called only in private seemed like boudoir fun. Every time she called her like that, he always felt like dying on her.

To die under the peonies is to be a ghost.
-
Another year old in the blink of an eye.

The reason why people look forward to next year is because there will be ups and downs.

Fireworks are set off in the palace to pray for a new year and a new atmosphere.

It must be mentioned that this year, in addition to strengthening his ability to seize power, Rong Cen also lit up a new skill——

Gong Dou slapped him in the face.

Jiang Yun's identity is very prominent in Nanxun, so there shouldn't be too many people coveting him. Rong Cen is confident enough, so he doesn't need to be suspicious and defensive.

In addition, the Chujun's backyard was vacant and there was only the Chu Hou. Jiang Yun's love for Rong Cen was blatant, and he did not hesitate to contradict Emperor Chang Ning repeatedly for his sake.

Several times, the ministers thought that Jiang Yun was so angry that he would definitely change the crown prince, but nothing happened. In the end, Jiang San, Jiang Si and their vassals were half angry to death.

The prince, the prince, and the queen are loving and affectionate.

But there are always unsightly things to do.

Rong Cen went out to win people over for Jiang Yun. He booked a private room on the first floor of the world where He Wanyi and others lived. With the doors and windows closed, they talked in detail for two hours.

But someone downstairs spread the rumor, accusing her of being shameless for hooking up with other men, and accusing her of being a playboy and unruly woman.

Jiang Ting took care of himself and went to the back hall to get a broom for sweeping fallen leaves and was about to sweep people out.

At this moment, Jiang Yun, who had arrived late outside the building, frowned, "Can't you slap me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone didn't expect the prince to suddenly appear. The lady in the boudoir who said bad things about Rong Cen didn't react in time. A gust of wind blew and she was slapped, and her face was burning with pain.

"Isn't this a slap? Is it loud enough?"

Jiang Yun exerted 100% of his strength, it's no wonder she didn't feel any pain. As long as it hurts, the more painful it is, the better. Only after suffering will you have a long memory.

Inside and outside the building, people were crowding up and downstairs to eat melons. Rong Cen struggled to squeeze through the crowd, and finally came downstairs. He glanced at the long-tongued girl, and the husband sang and the wife followed him: "Let me see the girl, how can a solitary palm sing to itself. "

After saying that, she consciously walked to Jiang Yun and took the initiative to hold his hand.

This is an old dynasty that is reserved and conservative, but their love is fierce and straightforward. The two of them interlock with each other and don't care about the eyes of the world.

Let them gossip.

On the palace road, Rong Cen pinched his palm hard and said, "Jiang Wuzi, if you beat her in public, there will be countless excuses for you tomorrow morning."

"So what? She talks nonsense and slanders the royal family. Shouldn't she be beaten?"

"You can warn her privately. Or, send someone to send a message to her father and let them fight among themselves." Rong Cen is not blaming him for it. She knows what is good and what is good. There is no reason for her to criticize others for standing up for her. It's just that this guy is too direct. , she had to teach him a roundabout plan.

Jiang Yun pinched the soft flesh around her cheeks. Following Meng Qingzhuo, the little girl developed eight hundred tricks, like a black-hearted glutinous rice ball, and joked: "You've learned a lot, Rong Jiayi!"

The person involved was not ashamed, but proud and burst into laughter.

"Do you think her father doesn't know?" Jiang Yun stopped smiling and said with an indifferent expression, "Fengning City is so big, how can you hide the news from those old guys?"

"The aristocrats of the aristocratic families have built a hub based on the nepotism of in-laws. They huddle together for warmth. The trees are big and have deep roots. A single move affects the whole body. We can't touch anyone for the time being, but one day, we will retaliate."

"Even if that person insults you in front of them today, the big thing will be reduced to a trivial matter. Instead of doing this, why not do it myself, not to talk about revenge and hatred, and at least I can vent my anger."

Rong Cen understood, "Do you care?"

"They can scold me, but they can't scold you. Rong Jiayi, I care very much."

The two stopped in the middle of the palace road, facing each other. Jiang Yun stared at her seriously.

The unfulfilled meaning is all left unsaid.

He not only cares about others scolding her, he cares about her more. Because I care about her, I care about everything related to her.

But obviously, she didn't care that much.

"I don't want to go to a foreign country, and I don't like the methods of those noble ladies. Why retaliate for repayment." Rong Cen said lightly.

"Their various annotations and interpretations of me do not constitute one ten thousandth of me, but they are an ugly face that can be seen at a glance. Their views on me are just a reflection of her three views and inner thoughts, not mine. Her appearance reveals her, not me."

"I am no longer afraid of life and death, and those rumors cannot hurt me in the slightest."

Rong Cen didn't persuade him, he just told him his thoughts.

Today is a rumor made out of thin air. She has heard a lot of ugly words in the past, such as "He can marry you according to the decree, but you can't force him to love you according to the decree", "He is a high-ranking prince, and you are just a member of the enemy country." "Abandoned son", he still mocked in front of her.

Rong Cen doesn't care, but that doesn't mean he won't fight back.

The two of them knew each other well about these things, but they both made a tacit agreement not to talk about them.

"I don't want you to be wronged. You are the best, why should others belittle you?"

Seeing her expression without emotion, Jiang Yun's heart ached as if someone had pinched her.

It has been said since ancient times that men love women and men love each other, but who is it about him or Rong Jiayi? Who for love?

She is too indifferent and seems to have no obsession except to dominate the world.

Rong Cen didn't know what he was thinking, and he smiled openly when he heard this: "Then try to stand at the highest level where no one can comment!"
