Chapter 109 King Jing or the Former King
In short, Qiaoqiao thinks that King Jing is more powerful than the previous King Jing, but Lin Chuqi thinks that King Jing is far inferior to the previous King Jing.
Bai Zhi scratched her ears, wondering how she could have disturbed King Xian Jing.
The two children were arguing and suddenly remembered the silent peacemaker next to them. So Bai Zhi was forced to be pulled between them and forced to point out who was right.
Who is this going to embarrass?
Just when Bai Zhi was racking her brains over how to escape from the clutches of the two kids, Chu Yunchuan just happened to come back.
Several adults who stayed at the Lin Mansion these days have left. Chu Yunchuan prepared breakfast and ate it at the same table with the Lin family. Over the past few days, Qiaoqiao became very close to him and would drag him over to judge the matter when she saw him coming.
Baizhi makes my head hurt, and I don't want to get involved at all.
Qiaoqiao: "Brother Yun, who do you think is more powerful, King Jing or the former King Jing?"
Chu Yunchuan smiled and said, "In my opinion, King Jing is far inferior to the previous king."
Bai Zhi was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to say that to her.
Lin Chuqi clapped his hands: "I won."
"Why?" Qiaoqiao still refused to give up. "Give me a reason, or I won't let you go."
Bai Zhi looked at Chu Yunchuan and was also very curious.
Chu Yunchuan said: "Everything King Jing did was just a copy of the previous king's practice. How can it be considered as great?"
"But King Jing saved the Thirteen States! He made so many people have homes to return to. Isn't that amazing?"
"King Jing was not the only one who could save the Thirteen States, but the late king's achievements are unparalleled in the world."
Lin Chuqi interrupted, “After a thousand years, the people of the Thirteen States will only remember one King Jing, the former King Jing.”
This was a bit too much. Bai Zhi planned to control the situation, otherwise she didn't know what the next conversation would lead to.
Sure enough, before Bai Zhi could say anything, Qiaoqiao was irritated by his words, and her voice was as angry as if she was spitting fire: "Are you talking about the King Jing who can neither protect his people nor himself?"
Bai Zhi: "Coincidentally..."
"If it weren't for Gu Feng's frame-up, how could the Thirteen Prefectures be conquered? Is there anything wrong with being kind?" Lin Chuqi was also a little angry. "The King Xianjing was an extraordinary genius. Now we don't know whether this descendant who appeared halfway is real or fake. Maybe he is jealous of the King Xianjing's achievements and came out to take advantage of him."
"Shut up, everyone!"
Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi fell silent instantly. They had never heard Bai Zhi speak in such a harsh tone before and were so frightened that they stood there motionless.
"Listen to what you are saying. It was just a small discussion to express your own opinions, but you guys are arguing so much that people who don't know would think the emperor is about to die and he wants to choose a successor from among you." Bai Zhi said coldly, "When you become officials, will you still attack each other like this in the officialdom? Then I think you all don't have to take the county exam. Come with me to work in Wenxiang Tower, one of you will wipe the tables and the other will mop the floor. This will save your teacher from complaining to me every day."
Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi kept their mouths shut and lowered their heads in silence. One reason was that they were frightened, and the other was that Bai Zhi had calmed them down after she scolded them. They realized that they had indeed gone too far, and it was difficult for them to speak again.
Chu Yunchuan looked at Bai Zhi, closed his eyes, chuckled, and shook his head - meaning I don’t take it to heart.
Bai Zhi's expression eased a little, and she said in a slower voice, "Come here."
The two children did not dare to disobey, and quickly ran to Bai Zhi's side, one on each side, still with their heads down.
Bai Zhi ordered: "Shake hands and make peace."
The two children immediately shook hands, fearing that if they were slow they would make Bai Zhi angry again.
Bai Zhi saw that the two children were really scared, so she sighed, hugged them in her arms, patted their backs and comforted them, "If you think my words were too harsh, I apologize. Don't be afraid, but you two, don't quarrel again in the future, okay, my dear ancestors."
Qiaoqiao held back her tears and nodded rapidly. Lin Chuqi whispered "OK" in response.
Finished perfectly.
Bai Zhi sent the two children back to the house to review their lessons. Chu Yunchuan said, "They don't know the hidden story behind this. They just said it unintentionally. Why are you angry?"
"They are all going to take the exam for the scholar. As my mother said, jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished." Bai Zhi sighed, "Although they don't know the secret, I know it very well, not to mention you... It's hard for me not to get angry."
Chu Yunchuan suddenly said: "The people of the Thirteen States are now living a stable life. I don't have any more extravagant demands. I will let others judge my merits and demerits. Besides, I won't be the King of Jing for many more years. You don't have to worry about me."
Bai Zhi vaguely remembered that when she was in the Marquis' Mansion, she could hear Chu Yunchuan's sour voice when these things were mentioned. Now he was surprisingly calm, as if it had nothing to do with him. She couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Really?"
Chu Yunchuan: "Really."
King Jing was rehabilitated and the thirteen states were rebuilt. All the pain was healed, so have you let it go?
But King Jing and his wife would never come back, and he could only rest in peace during the most difficult five years of his life.
He used the painful truth to exchange money for the people, and the Thirteen States were rebuilt at a rapid speed. Many people doubted where his money came from, and they didn't know if he had ever heard these unpleasant rumors.
"Chu Yunchuan." Bai Zhi called him.
Chu Yunchuan raised his eyes and replied, "I'm here."
"I haven't asked you since we met again." Bai Zhi said, "How are you doing?"
A breeze blew by, and Chu Yunchuan said softly, "Good, but not very good."
"how to say?"
Chu Yunchuan took two steps forward and hugged Bai Zhi tightly in his arms: "It's all right now."
Those days when he sat alone at his desk, drawing official documents and missing her like crazy, were no longer worth mentioning after he met Bai Zhi.
The hug was so strong that Bai Zhi couldn't breathe. She slowed down her breathing and put her hands on Chu Yunchuan's back, patting him again and again: "That's good."
Chu Yunchuan, who originally only made breakfast, also packed dinner today. The dishes he prepared were quite rich, with everything flying in the sky and running on the ground. Bai Zhi walked into the main hall with her eyes wide open - my goodness, this is not the Marquis' Mansion, if they keep eating this way, how many days will the money earned from Wenxianglou be enough to eat?
After Bai Zhi's scolding, Qiao Qiao and Lin Chu Qi really stopped quarreling and were discussing in a very harmonious manner which dish to pick first. When Lin Ruogui saw Bai Zhi coming, he quickly pulled her over and whispered, "Ah Zhi, since the prince said that he plans to live at home for a long time, what will happen if he does these rough chores every day? You should persuade him."
Bai Zhi held up three fingers: "It's not like I didn't persuade the prince, but he didn't listen."
She felt a little guilty and spoke as if she had tried hard to persuade him, but in fact she had only done so casually - it was because, who doesn't want to eat the food cooked by their loved one?
Lin Ruogui held his forehead and sighed.
"The food is ready!" Chu Yunchuan ran into the house holding a wine jar. He broke the mud seal, and immediately a strong floral aroma of wine wafted out. Qiaoqiao looked at the year engraved on the jar and exclaimed, "Yuanyuanteng!"
