Chapter 925: A century-old family will inevitably decline after a long period of prosperity

Ming Sihui smiled lightly, obviously she was used to her mother-in-law's nagging.

The family relationship of the Chang's family is very harmonious. In the past, there might have been some interests in the capital, and the family would inevitably have two hearts. But since the Chang's family has gone into seclusion, the family has become more and more united. Every day Everyone is closely connected.

Those relationships between brothers, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sisters-in-law, and other miscellaneous relationships involving interests that caused headaches for ordinary people have all turned into nothingness.

Xu Shi had encountered many hardships in the first half of his life, and compared with them, even the trivial things at home were trivial.

In addition, Ming Sihui is somewhat special in this family. Whether it is the old lady as the mother-in-law, her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, or the younger generations, they all treat her with special care and respect.

Over the years, the family has learned to treat her specially, and Ming Sihui has gone from not being used to it at first to reluctantly accepting it later.

When a person enjoys special treatment, the feeling is very obvious. He can feel the special care and attention of everyone around him. This specialness is often not because he deserves special treatment, but because he is a special person. guilt and compensation.

But when does a family need to feel guilty and make amends?

In the final analysis, it is because I have never truly regarded her as a family member that I care about many things, feel sorry for her, and make amends for so many years...

Ming Sihui said: "It won't happen next time."

I haven't been back to the capital for so many years, but I didn't know that the capital has changed so much.

Yesterday, I was walking aimlessly in the cool breeze, walking... looking for familiar places. However, after searching for a long time, I found that the familiar places were gone and replaced by unfamiliar faces. , several shops that I often went to eat at have been closed long ago. The newly opened shops look very luxurious in decoration, but I don’t know if they can retain the taste of the past...

After all, this is not the Qi State, and her era has long passed. She doesn’t know much about the current Meng State. She only knows that the war on the front line is tense, and the people are surrounded in Anle City, and have been safely arranged by the court. However, for so many years, there have been no internal worries. Foreign troubles have never been settled, and they will still affect some people.

But compared with the previous Qi State, compared with the previous Qi King, today's Meng State is much better. At least the emperor now in power is a man who has made a difference and can hear the sufferings of the people.

What the people fear most is officials who do nothing and emperors who pretend to be deaf and dumb?
Some emperors only care about their own food, but don't care about the life and death of others. Some emperors are diligent and frugal in running the country. The honor of being an emperor can be reduced a little, but his people must be able to take a sip. Hot soup.

This is the difference between the former Qi State and the present Meng State, and it is also the most important reason for the Chang family to retire. If the Meng State that rises later is as bad as the former Qi State, the Chang family will not retire with peace of mind. Yes, it was precisely because he saw that the emperor in power had two skills and cared about his people that he was able to trust the entire capital and the entire country to him.

Also, a century-old family will inevitably decline after a long period of prosperity. This is the eternal law of every family. The Chang family knows that it is a dominant family and is too powerful, so it will definitely be in the eyes of some people. Instead of becoming a thorn in the eyes of others, it is better to To remove it, it is better to take a step back.
