Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 687 Most people in the world cannot give up glory and wealth, nor can they get rid of the desire for power.

Yang Jiao said leisurely:
"My mother was divorced, and my father went to study at Bailu Academy. My eldest mother still values ​​boys over girls. She can only rely on my eldest aunt."

"And when this eldest aunt deals with matters between herself and her cousin, she often subconsciously blames her cousin first and favors herself. You let her do whatever she wants."

Cheng Shaoshang said belatedly:
"Listening to what you said, I feel embarrassed for my cousin's situation, but how do you see that my cousin is decisive?"

Yang Jiao said calmly:

"How could a person who is willing to take the initiative to learn about common people's affairs and learn how to govern a family not be a person who is determined, decisive, understands what trade-offs are, and knows what he wants."

"With such a temper, even if you fall in love with a certain son at first sight and take the initiative to approach and express your affection for him many times, you will only get away in time when you see his unmoved attitude."

"So, don't think that Cheng Shuan is quiet. She still has the life she wants to pursue in her heart. Don't think that she is obedient and has her own way of doing things. Don't think that she is sensible. In fact, she will never wrong herself."

"She naturally follows the tide in the way of water and reaches the ocean she desires. She is the only one who cannot compete with her, so no one in the world can compete with her."

His eyes were soft and he was determined to look at Cheng Shaoshang:
"I say all this not to ask you to forgive my mother for her partiality, but to make you understand that you should not have so much resentment."

"There are so many things worth pursuing in the world, why bother with one thing? You know, there is such a favored person in my family."

"My father's love for us children combined is not as much as his love for Ling Buyi, so don't think so much, the most important thing is to make yourself happy."

Cheng Shaoshang couldn't help but smile on his face when he heard this, and asked curiously:

"Is the Holy Spirit really that partial?"

Yang Jiao smiled back:

"More than your mother, ten times, a hundred times."

While the two were talking, Cheng Shicheng and Ling Buyi came hand in hand.

"See you, old minister"

Yang Jiao interrupted with a smile:

"Old county magistrate, you don't need to be polite. Zi Sheng knows best that I don't like these false courtesy. It's also for this reason that I didn't identify myself last night."

He looked at Ling Buyi:

"I think the old county magistrate has told you that all the bandits led by Fan Chang have been killed. According to my estimation, he is just a pawn."

"Zisheng, when you go back to resume your life, remember to give my father a reminder to pay attention to the movements of King Yong of Shu."

Ling Buyi's eyes narrowed and he said:
"What do you mean, Your Highness, you don't plan to come back to the residence with me?"

Yang Jiao chuckled lightly:

"As the saying goes, those who are capable work hard. As a person who is accustomed to idleness, I will no longer be an eyesore around my father."

Ling Buyi didn't say anything else. He was well aware of the unpredictable methods of the man in front of him, so he left without even mentioning the issue of safety.

"Old county magistrate, Shao Shang's third uncle rested for most of the night, and I guess he has woken up. I, an idler, will not disturb you when you hand over official duties."

Yang Jiao's eyes fell on Cheng Shaoshang:
"Let's go, I'll take you to visit Hua County."

A month later.

In a side hall, Cheng Shaoshang was lying on the couch very comfortably, with various kinds of food placed on the table beside him.

Suddenly, Sang Shunhua walked in. Seeing Cheng Shaoshang's posture, he shook his head funny:
"Honey bait, rice dumplings, mutton bait cakes, honey rice dumplings, over the past month, His Royal Highness has been really attentive and considerate to you. He not only takes you to eat all kinds of food, but also takes you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hua County."

"No wonder my aunt often heard you talk about him when we were in the capital. If I had a son who doted on me so much, he would be like you and would talk about him often."

She paused slightly:
"Niao Niao, I heard that there was an attack on Hua County. My uncle-in-law and my sister-in-law are on their way. I'm afraid they will be able to reach Hua County in a few days."

Cheng Shaoshang suddenly sat up from the couch: "What? My mother is coming to Hua County too!"

Sang Shunhua said softly:

"In the past month, you and His Highness the Fourth have been inseparable every day. I am afraid your mother will come to discuss your life-long affairs."

Cheng Shaoshang curled his lips:
"Don't think I can't see it. My mother really doesn't want me to marry Ziyan."

Sang Shunhua frowned slightly:
"Niao Niao, my aunt is asking you, do you really want to be with His Highness the Fourth?"

Mr. Cheng decided to look at her:
"Third aunt, do you also think that the Cheng family is low-ranking and I am even more humble and not worthy of Zi Yan?"

Sang Shunhua comforted:
"How could it be? In my aunt's opinion, your husband is affectionate and your concubine is interested, so it is really a perfect match."

Cheng Shaoshang asked again:
"Then the Holy One thinks that my reputation is not good and my family background is not obvious, so he doesn't like me?"

Sang Shunhua immediately replied:
"Don't think too much. Your Majesty has never valued family status. Otherwise, how could a poor family member like your father and third uncle be able to become a marquis or become an official one day?"

"Besides, what you don't know is that even the current crown princess is from a rural background."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he became even more puzzled:

"In that case, why can't I be with Ziyan?"

Sang Shunhua sighed:
"Most people in the world can't give up glory and wealth, nor can they get rid of the desire for power. His Royal Highness has unrivaled strength and has no desire to fight for power, but sometimes, he cannot be tolerated and not fight for it."

"Once you choose to be with him, you will become the target of many people with bad intentions, and the dangers can be imagined."

"This is also the key reason why your mother does not agree with you being with His Highness the Fourth."

Cheng Shaoshang looked determined:
"It doesn't matter if there is danger. Since I am determined to be with Ziyan, I am willing to bear all the storms that come my way."

Sang Shunhua said softly:

"Since you have thought of this, my aunt won't say anything more. However, I am afraid that this will be difficult for me as a concubine. Niao Niao, you must be mentally prepared."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy:
"Fortunately, Ziyan was summoned by the Holy Master yesterday to stay in the other courtyard. Otherwise, when my mother arrives in Hua County, I am afraid that Ziyan will inevitably be scolded by the arrogant and arrogant people."

A smile appeared on Sang Shunhua's face:
"You are not yourself during this period, you are like a kite with its string cut off, you are playing crazy."

Three days later.

Cheng Shaoshang and Cheng Zhi were standing outside the house arranged by Cheng Shicheng. When a motorcade appeared in front of them, Cheng Shaoshang hurriedly shouted excitedly:
"Father."

In an instant, a person next to the carriage rushed over on horseback, and it turned out to be Cheng Shi.

As soon as he got off the horse, Cheng Shaoshang ran into his arms and jumped up happily.

"Niao Niao, are you okay? I heard that there was an attack in Hua County, and I scared my father to death."

Cheng Shaoshang circled in front of him:

"I'm fine."

Cheng Shi said continuously:
"As long as it's okay, my home is Fuda."

Cheng Zhi came over with Sang Shunhua and saluted:
"Brother."

Cheng Shi replied:
"Third brother."

Immediately, he looked at his daughter carefully and said in surprise:

"Niao Niao, I haven't seen you for a long time. My father thought that you would have lost a lot of weight after leaving the capital. But now that I look at it, I feel that I have gained some weight."
