The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 144 Human life is important

Zeng Chongqi was on a business trip when his subordinates reported the letter, so he didn't receive the letter, so he didn't see anyone until the end of the year.

"That boy must not have returned to the Jinyiwei Yamen yet, so he hasn't received the letter from your aunt asking him to stay at the Yamen. I don't know where he is at the moment." Zeng Lingsong's face was really red when he saw his niece, "Yao Yao There is no need to wait for your cousin, let's eat first, and when your cousin comes back, he can eat by himself!"

After speaking, he looked at his old father.

How could Zeng Cao not know the meaning of the eldest son? He just felt that even if he starved his eldest grandson, he could not starve his granddaughter. He immediately helped and said, "Your uncle is right."

Meng Shisan heard the words and looked at Mrs. Hu, Mrs. Hu nodded, and she replied obediently, "Okay."

Zeng Chongjin and Zeng Chongrong smiled at each other.

The evening meal was served in the flower hall of the Hebai Courtyard. Except for Zeng Chongqi's absence, the Zeng family sat around the table and shared the dinner amidst the laughter and laughter.

After the meal, Hu took Zeng Chongjin and Zeng Chongrong away, while Meng Shisan was taken into his study by Zeng Si.

Originally, Meng Shisan just asked Zeng Jie a question, which had nothing to do with Zeng Lingsong, but when Zeng Lingsong saw the niece who looked like his deceased sister, he refused to leave no matter what, and had to follow behind. If you have any difficult questions, you can ask him, and he will definitely know without saying anything.

Meng Shisan thought that her uncle was in charge of the right administration and was an official in the same dynasty as his grandfather. He must have talked about the direction of the wind and struggled with the regime on weekdays. The answer she wanted, my grandfather could say it, and my uncle could also say it. Come up with something.

Then he smiled and said, "Grandpa, please let your uncle stay."

Only then did Zeng Diao stop chasing the annoying eldest son: "Since Yaoyao opens his mouth, just sit aside and I won't ask you, so don't speak any more."

"Yes, father." Zeng Lingsong was also smiling. He was used to his father's serious face when he looked down upon his second brother, but he was not as obedient as his second brother, and his father was also used to it.

It is said that Uncle Xiao, the nephew, had just sat down on the side seat, and Meng Shisan sat down on the opposite seat. As Zeng Lingsong followed Meng Shisan and sat down on the next seat, the two faces of uncle and nephew were placed opposite him. He glanced up, as if he saw the time when his daughter and eldest son were sitting in front of him many years ago.

Can't help reddening the eye sockets.

Meng Shisan noticed and silently looked sideways at Zeng Lingsong.

Zeng Lingsong leaned towards Meng Shisan, and said in a low voice, "I'm thinking of your mother."

Just as Meng Shisan turned around, he looked at Zeng Nai again and found that Zeng Nai had returned to his normal state and was smiling kindly at her, showing no trace of the sadness he felt just now.

"What do you want to ask your grandfather?" Zeng Si asked.

Meng Shisan said: "The flood in Lueyang last year was a catastrophe, and it was not caused by human disasters. Yaoyao read last year's mansion report on this matter, but in the end she just killed Liu Zhizhi. Grandfather, Yaoyao thought Ask, why is this?"

As soon as this question was asked, not only Zeng Jie's face darkened little by little, but also Zeng Lingsong's crooked eyebrows and eyes seemed to be stained with ink in an instant.

"Why did Yaoyao ask this?" Zeng Cao did not answer, but asked again.

"Yaoyao is curious. With such a huge man-made and natural disaster, can Liu Zhi just let the innocent souls rest in peace? How can those people who have been displaced and are still missing without seeing their bodies alive or dead, how can they live in peace? ?" Meng Shisan bluntly expressed his confusion.

Zeng Lingsong couldn't help but said: "Yaoyao, this matter is so complicated that you can't imagine..."

"Because of the complexity, Yaoyao has many doubts about this matter." Meng Shisan interrupted Zeng Lingsong, directly attacking the unfairness of the world, "For example, Liu is not even the magistrate of Lueyang County, no matter how good he is, he can't One person holds up the entire river. The ant nest is so big and the human life is so heavy that Liu Zhizhi cannot carry it! But why did this happen last year, with heavy thunder and light rain, and in the end it was Liu Zhizhi who was able to make a decisive move? Take all the blame?"

Zeng Jie asked again: "You have this question, but because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"His Royal Highness is the crown prince of the country, so he should be more confused about this mystery than I am. However, Yaoyao came to Zeng Mansion to talk to my grandfather and uncle about this matter, but it had nothing to do with Your Highness." Meng Shisan really didn't know what Li Shou was thinking. He didn't even know what Li Shou's countermeasures were. Meng Renping only said that Li Shou had a countermeasure, but he never revealed a word about what the countermeasure was.

Zeng Jie stroked his beard and nodded: "Since you are curious and want to hear it, then I will talk to you."

"Father!" Zeng Lingsong felt something was inappropriate, "Yaoyao, a girl in a boudoir, really shouldn't hear this. No matter how curious she is, you can't really tell her."

Meng Shisan put on a pretty face: "Uncle, I'm still here. If I had known that uncle would try to destroy me, I shouldn't have spoken for him just now. I should have asked my grandfather to drive uncle back." Just go to the hospital."

"Yaoyao, uncle is not..."

"What's not that? In his words, the uncle looked down on Yaoyao as just a girl in the boudoir. He felt that Yaoyao could neither support the family nor shoulder the important responsibilities. She could only spend her whole day fluttering butterflies, admiring flowers, throwing pots and playing cards. , such fun, when you find a well-matched son-in-law to marry, will it become more and more insignificant like water being poured out? "

Zeng Lingsong just heard that his father was really going to spread the bright swords and dark swords in the court to his niece. He was afraid that his niece would be frightened by such a cruel and bloody storm, so he stopped that sentence in a hurry. Why did my niece make such a tirade?
Seeing his eldest son's dazed and helpless expression as his granddaughter said a few words, Zeng Cao burst out laughing: "Okay! Well said!"

Zeng Lingsong immediately looked at his father, and somehow blurted out, "Who said it better?"

"Of course Yaoyao said it right." After Zeng Si answered, he ignored Zeng Lingsong and looked at Meng Shisan, "Does Yaoyao think she was born into the wrong daughter?"

Meng Shisan said: "Whether you are born as a girl or a son, as long as you have the ambition of a swan, even a sparrow will one day be able to spread its wings and soar and achieve great ambitions. Since ancient times, there has been a stinking of wine and meat in the rich family. There are frozen bones and Yaoyao is born as a girl, but it does not prevent Yaoyao from wanting to understand the sufferings of the people. So, my grandfather is still the same as his uncle, thinking that Yaoyao should not ask these questions, and that it is inappropriate to ask? "

Zeng Jie said with emotion: "You resemble your mother, not only in appearance, but also in a kind heart. How can it be wrong? If it is wrong, it is what your uncle said is wrong."

Zeng Lingsong, who was attacked back and forth by his grandfather and grandson, finally swallowed the word "inappropriate" by himself, could only walk down the slope: "I really don't mean to belittle... Well, it's my uncle who said something wrong."

Meng Shisan said softly: "Yaoyao knows that Uncle loves Yaoyao and wants to protect Yaoyao all the time, so she feels that such a dark thing that is so unbearable in nature shouldn't pollute Yaoyao's ears."
