Chapter 1656 praise
Sun Zheng responded, and after a moment, he asked again: "Sister Quan, can I ask you a question?"
"Do you want to ask me why I went to meet Achu's parents at this time?"
Sun Ce laughed out loud. "You are indeed Qiqiao Linglongxin."
"What is this allusion?"
Sun Ce was about to explain, but suddenly he felt that it was inappropriate. This allusion was a bit ominous, and he didn't care, but Yuan Quan might not care. "Wu Dian is just praising you for being smart. You can guess what I think."
"Your face is so obvious, I can't guess anymore, wouldn't it be too negligent?" Yuan Quan chuckled and said, "But I still like to hear you praise me."
"Are you lacking praise? You are so smart, and since childhood, there should be many people praising you."
"They praise me, which is different from you. I like to listen to you praise me. You can praise me again."
"Okay, I'll think about it."
"It's fake if you think about it, it's like I'm forcing you." Yuan Quan patted Sun Ce's chest. "You have to use a innocent heart."
"Haha, if I use my innocent heart, I will have one sentence."
"What's the matter?"
"I want to bear you like this for the rest of my life."
Yuan Quan paused for a moment and sighed softly. "I want to do this too, but you have other more important things to memorize. Let's talk about what happened tonight. Husband, what do you think of Achu's mother?"
"She?" Sun Ce couldn't find a suitable word for a while. Huang Yueying's family of three were a bit unique, and Cai Jue was no exception.
"The Cai family comes from Cai Shu and has a long history. The Shangcai, Xiacai and Xincai in Runan are all the former places of Cai. The Cai surnames in Runan, Chenliu and Nanyang are all descendants. However, in comparison, although the Cai family in Xiangyang is rich and powerful, the clan is not well-known. Cai Feng's sister married Zhang Wen, and several of his tribe members have achieved 2,000 stones, but Cai Feng herself has not achieved much in her career. Achu's mother is Cai Feng's eldest daughter. Normally, she should marry a noble family like her aunt, but she married Achu's father. Although Achu's father is a famous scholar, he has no intention of career. This marriage is obviously not an arrangement at home, but her own idea."
"You are right, Cai Feng is very snobbish. How could he marry such a capable daughter to a hermit?"
"Achu's mother is cold-hearted and warm-hearted. Although she is not in harmony with her father, she will not sit idly by the family. Cai Ke and Cai Mao are limited and cannot bear the hope of the family. Achu's mother will feel a little regretful. The Cai family is not short of money, but what she lacks is a portal, and she will pay special attention to this. Achu is her only daughter, so of course she has to choose a good portal and be a wife. Only when the portal is good can she bring hope to the Cai family and Huang family. Being a wife will not insult the Cai family and Huang family. Now that Achu has followed you, only half of the goal, can she feel no grudges?"
"Then why didn't you go before?"
"Do you think she is so polite today, is she giving me face?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not. Although the Yuan family in Runan is also a third generation of four generations and is much stronger than the Yang family of Hongnong, its reputation has been broken and far less than that of the Yang family of Hongnong. My uncle is willing to serve you, but he believes that it is because he believes that you can realize the Confucian school, but outsiders don't know it, and they must think it has something to do with me. I recruited my uncle for my husband and proved that my value is not inferior to Achu, so that she can believe that Achu is not inferior to me and does not humiliate the Cai family and Huang family."
Sun Ce felt a little confused and could no longer understand the logic. Yuan Quan felt Sun Ce's doubts keenly and couldn't help laughing again. "To put it simply, in the eyes of Achu's mother, it is an honor for Achu's father to be a sacrificial tribute with my uncle. Achu's uncle's wife is not humiliating her. Only in this way can she untie the knot, otherwise she would not take it seriously even if I was polite."
"It's too difficult for you to go around, it's harder than solving math problems."
"So, these are actually boring. No matter how noble people are, they can't get out of these calculations. They enjoy it, but instead forget the most fundamental problem."
"What's the most fundamental question?"
"Without your strength, neither the Yang family of Hongnong nor the Yuan family of Runan, it is actually worth a fortune." Yuan Quan once again put his face on Sun Ce's shoulder, closed his eyes, and raised a happy smile on the corner of his mouth. "The tall building starts from the ground, and the foundation is not covered with beautiful foundations, but it is the foundation of the tall building. No matter how beautiful the curtain is, it is a decoration after all. Without the Yang family of Hongnong, you can still succeed, just be a little slower. But without you, what achievements can my uncle and Dezu have? At most, be a martyr and leave their name in history."
"Haha, I'll be proud of you if you say that."
"Husband, at this point, the Yuan family is more realistic than the Yang family. They always know the difference between name and reality. However, Yuan Benchu's sword is a coincidence. The party members are too ill-gotten. He meets you, a genius, and is defeated. The Yang family is not the case. They still stick to the teachings of the saints and are determined to be loyal ministers. Even if they take a step back, they must stick to the Confucian classics. It is of course a good thing that can make your uncle stay. He has rich experience in governance, but you should also pay attention to his shortcomings and not let him teach a group of scholars. His experience is available, but his ideas are a bit out of place, which is not in line with your new policy."
Sun Ce stopped, thought for a while, turned to Yuan Quan and said, "Sister, you reminded me too promptly. I was just happy and almost forgot about this. You said, how should I thank you?"
Yuan Quan smiled silently. "My husband [m.] doesn't blame me for raping and interfering in politics. I am already very grateful. How dare I invite rewards?"
"Haha, interfere in politics?" Sun Ce found Yuan Quan and rushed upwards. "Can I encourage women to enter the government, but are they still afraid that women will interfere in politics? If you don't say it, do you need it or not. If you have any suggestions in the future, I believe I have the ability to judge."
"I really want to hear it?"
"I want to hear it."
"Then I'll say one more thing."
"you say."
"You must learn to delegate power, and don't be afraid that your subordinates will make mistakes. You just need to summarize the lessons after making mistakes. The lessons of failure are sometimes more valuable than successful experiences. There will be mistakes in the management of the family, let alone governing the country? The saints only say the same mistakes and do not say that they will not make mistakes. Even if you are attentive, even if you don't meet your eyes for twelve hours a day, you cannot solve all problems by your own efforts. Instead of doing so, it's better to leave it to others to take responsibility and you supervise rewards and punishments. Many times, the person in charge is more clear about where there may be problems, not you. If you take too much control, it will catch them by chance. In the end, all the responsibilities fall on you alone. Husband, you must be a plougher holding the whip, not a ox that leads the plow."
Sun Ce thought about the hard work these days and had a deep understanding. Even if he was attentive, he could not avoid problems with the merchants. It was just a matter of time. To put it bluntly, he actually did not understand the real governance.
"Okay, let's delegate power from now on." Sun Ce accelerated his pace. "Let's go back to plow the fields."
"What?"
"You understand." Sun Ce smiled and said, "Don't you want to? I saw you turned in front of me two days ago."
Yuan Quan suddenly realized, couldn't help but spit on Sun Ce, opened his mouth, bit Sun Ce's earlobe, and murmured: "Then you have to carry me for a while. Otherwise, you carry me to Sister Wan's place first and see what she is busy with. I haven't seen her for a few days."
"No problem." Sun Ce understood. "Would you like to call Ah? I'm afraid you two are not opponents."
Yuan Quan laughed. "Okay, you are willing to recite it for a while, but I can't ask for it."
The two of them walked forward while talking. Seeing that they were about to reach the courtyard where Feng Wan lived, Yuan Quan patted Sun Ce on the shoulder and wanted to go downstairs and walk by himself. Sun Ce refused, but she insisted that she would not let Sun Ce tell her what she was doing, saying that she wanted to enjoy herself for a longer time. Sun Ce was happy to obey orders and took Yuan Quan's hand to the courtyard. The maid came forward to knock on the door. After a while, a maid came to open the door in dress. Seeing Sun Ce and Yuan Quan standing outside the door, she was surprised and happy, and didn't even care about the door, so she hurried to the backyard.
Sun Ce entered the backyard. Feng Wan had just opened the door, wearing a single garment and a winter garment, standing barefoot in the hall. When Yuan Quan saw it, he quickly pushed Sun Ce. Sun Ce understood and went forward to pick Feng Wan up. Yuan Quan stepped forward and wrapped Feng Wan's feet with Sun Ce's cloak. The two of them carried Feng Wan to the bedroom. When they saw the decorations in the room, they realized that Feng Wan had rested and even the lights had just been turned on.
"Sleep so early?"
Feng Wan was very embarrassed. "The winter in Jiangnan is cold, and there is nothing to do at night. I like to get into the quilt. I am used to it, and it has been like this in recent years."
Sun Ce was surprised. "There is no floor heating in this room?"
"I've put it in, I can't bear to use it. Charcoal is too expensive and costs several hundred dollars a night. It's not cost-effective for a person, so it's better to add two more quilts."
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment. "Wujun charcoal is so expensive?"
"It has been a big rise recently. The end of the year is approaching, and many people are storing charcoal, and several charcoal sites are too busy." Feng Wan got into the quilt, called the maid to get some hot tea, and then gave in, asking Yuan Quan to sit with her. "Why are you free? Didn't you say that the general is very busy recently?"
"I just came from Achu. Her parents have been here for so long and haven't been here to pay a visit. Today I went there. On the way back, my husband said to come and see you, worried that you will be bored alone. It's really a pity that he is willing, otherwise he really wouldn't know you're suffering."
"What kind of crime am I suffering?" Feng Wan smiled and was very happy when she heard that Sun Ce cared about her. She scratched her head. "I just had a lot of expenses recently, so I don't usually do this."
"What money have you spent recently?"
"I... I like a house and want to buy it for me, Ahon and my mother to live there. It will be convenient for them to come to see me in the future."
"Why did your parents come to see you and live outside? This yard is not enough?"
"Not only are my parents, but also some tribe members from Guanzhong, where they also need to live." Feng Wan smacked her lips and stuck out her tongue. "I'm too slow to react. Recently, the housing prices in Wuxian have risen a bit scary. In the past, a new house with three entry was only more than one million, but it has risen to more than five million in half a year. It is still very popular and cannot even bargain, especially in the past two months, one price a day."
