"Then there are the future concubines. To be honest, of the two women that have been temporarily decided, Wang Chudong, who is already in the fu, and Lu Chengyan, who is in Qingzhou, Father does like the little girl Wang Chudong more. However, there are different ranks of concubines. Wang Chudong can only be after Lu Chengyan. After all, the Lu Family is full of talents. Compared to Wang Linquan, who relied on Chu Lushan to climb to the position of the richest man in Qingzhou, Wang Chudong is definitely more important to Beiliang in the future. Therefore, in the future, if there is a dispute between the two families, as long as it doesn't involve major issues, you have to side with the Lu Family. This can be considered Father's compensation to Lu Chengyan as his daughter-in-law. Because Father knows that Xiaonian may not be able to open her heart to this poor woman in this lifetime. Treating each other with respect only sounds good, but for a married couple who will spend the rest of their lives together, it is actually a kind of suffering. Father has been going to Wang Chudong's place every day to listen to her stories. First, it is interesting. Second, it is an opportunity to let Beiliang know that this girl is the first daughter-in-law that Xu Xiao approves of. In the future, if anyone wants to use the Wang Family as a stepping stone to curry favor with the Lu Family, they have to first consider whether their flattery will backfire. As for Pei Nanwei, Father knows that you don't like this Princess Jing An. You don't have to go against your heart and deliberately interact with her. Just let her be. In this world, there is only the saying that the elder brother is like the father and the elder sister-in-law is like the mother. There is no such thing as the elder sister taking care of the family. The reason why Father nags you about this and wants you to bear this thankless responsibility is because Father is selfish. He is afraid that Xiaonian won't have any relatives to take care of her, so you can't marry in this lifetime. Wei Xiong, if you want to resent Father, Father will accept it. Father is a man who values boys over girls. He dares to take responsibility for his actions. Even when I was living with your mother, even if I had to brace myself, I would still say it so bluntly. Before Zhihu was born, he was beaten by your mother. After Zhihu was born, he was beaten so badly that it was unbearable to look at. Your mother made Father, a rough man who was used to holding swords, spears, and sticks, to carry the child. No matter how much Father loved his daughter, he couldn't bear the fact that the child insisted on crying. Your mother was reasonable to everyone, but she was unreasonable to your father. There were several times when I had to attend a military meeting every other day. I went to the tent with a bloody nose and a swollen face, and those bastards laughed at me. There was once an old brother who made a mistake and was personally whipped by Father. This guy stared at Father's swollen forehead from being whipped by your mother and even fucking knelt there and laughed foolishly. Father was so angry that he whipped him 50 more times. Later, when Father went to apply medicine for his sore wounds, he actually laughed at Father and said that no matter how embarrassing he was, he was not as embarrassing as me. "
"This old brother was Chen Zhibao's father. Other than his young son, he was the one who led all the Chen family's descendants to their deaths. "
"Father was not the kind of scoundrel who could be so shameless as to give a meritorious official a death-free gold medallion while craftily fabricating a crime of treason. If we said that we would be brothers, then we would be brothers for life. It was Father who owed the Chen family first. Therefore, even though he knew that Chen Zhibao would not accept Xiaonian as the new Prince of Liang, he did not care about him for more than ten years and allowed his adopted son to cultivate trusted aides. If Chen Zhibao wanted to leave Beiliang, Father would not stop him. If he wanted to be both the Minister of War and the Prince of Shu, it would be up to him. Father did not wish for the day when he and Xiaonian would fall out and become enemies to the point where they would have to meet on the battlefield. It would be best if they could not have any contact with each other. However, Father knew that the group of old foxes Zhang Julu and Gu Jiantang, as well as the emperor of the Zhao family who was hiding behind the scenes, would not let such a sharp spear rust in vain and not point the tip of the spear at Beiliang. "
Speaking of this, the old man, who had been in the military all his life, was somewhat sorrowful.
Xu Xiao smiled and turned his head to his second son, Xu Longxiang, and said, "Huang Man 'er, you will be enlightened sooner or later. You must remember that your older brother is good to you. That time when your older brother got into big trouble and Father wanted to beat him, you came out to stop him. You were angry at Father and looked like you wanted to fight Father to the death. Father only pretended to be angry on the surface, but in fact, he was very happy. "Your older brother has not been happy these years. Outsiders think that because he is I, Xu Xiao, the eldest son of the Butcher's First Wife, he will definitely be in the limelight. You will only understand the bitterness of it when you are enlightened. "Losing his mother and sister is nothing. In the Great War of the Spring and Autumn Period, countless people in his family died. However, he was cursed by people for eighteen generations and had to guard the gate for these heartless bastards. Perhaps one day, he would have to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of thousands of his Steel Cavalry in exchange for peace of mind. Later, when the Central Plains changed masters, he would be cursed and scolded by the new masters in the history books. Furthermore, there would be a large group of scholars and common people who had never suffered any hardship.
This is the most pitiful part of your brother. "In his youth before His Royal Highness chose to hide, the entire Beiliang Palace knew that His Highness doted on His Royal Highness from the bottom of his heart. As long as there was something fun, no matter how precious or rare it was, it would be sent to Huang Man'er before it was warmed up. However, when good things were in the hands of Huang Man'er, who was astonishingly strong and did not know the severity of the situation, how could they be complete? It would only take a few moves for them to be broken. The people in the manor who cleaned up the mess had never seen His Royal Highness angry. Even when His Royal Highness began to live a dissolute life with a notorious reputation, he still did not neglect Xu Longxiang. The servants were rarely whipped in the Prince's Mansion. Xu Fengnian had gotten angry a few times because he knew that the servants were deliberately teasing the Young Prince. And those times, His Highness the Heir Apparent had personally punched and kicked the servants to death, without showing the slightest mercy.
