"Father-in-law, that's enough." Yuan Pingzhi didn't accept her words, but complained to Gu Jinghong: "How could you persuade your daughter like this? You don't know how to protect your own relatives. No wonder my mother-in-law had a falling out with him back then! If it's my son-in-law who can't forgive my daughter, I won't give him a good beating!"
Gu Xien burst into laughter and said, "Husbands are the best at protecting shortcomings."
"So, don't let me think too much in the future. You are my wife. If I don't protect you, who will I protect?"
"Yes." Gu Xien responded solemnly, showing a sweet smile.
This is the difference between a husband and a father. Her husband regards his wife as a "closest relative" and always cares and loves her; but her father regards his wife as a "closest". No matter how much he loves and likes her, he always feels that he is still his blood relative and that is why her mother left him that year.
It was these words that made Gu Xien suddenly understand that her husband treated her like a close relative, and she already held a lot of happiness in her hands, so why should she look for trouble?
If the relationship between husband and wife is not good, what if they have children?There are many women in the world who have given birth to a lot of children but are still rejected by their husbands.
Choosing a husband depends on his character, not his ability to have children.
How lucky she was that she mustered up the courage to choose him when she was young?
The most handsome man in Jinling, in the eyes of little Gu Xien, is the most beautiful, soft-hearted, and kind-hearted elder brother. He is a beloved man worthy of being entrusted to him for life.
"Husband, I have liked you since I was very young."
"Yeah, let's go to bed. I'm so sleepy."
Gu Xien turned over and turned her back to him. This guy was really becoming more and more unemotional.
Yuan Pingzhi's hands unconsciously pulled her into his arms and continued to sleep.
Gu Xien smiled secretly, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Twenty years after Xuan Yu ascended the throne, he moved the capital to Yanjing.
At that time, Emperor Xuan Yu was only thirty-four years old.
The new capital city built under the leadership of Yuan Pingzhi is majestic and majestic. Different from the beauty and delicacy in the south, the unique heavy and regular structure in the north can better demonstrate the supremacy of imperial power.
After ten years of construction, this new capital city has begun to take shape. The Forbidden City is surrounded by a moat. There is a gate on each side of the city wall, the South Meridian Gate, the North Xuanwu Gate, the Donghua Gate, and the Xihua Gate. There are magnificent turrets at the four corners.The buildings in the city spread out along the central axis to the east and west sides. The regulations are as detailed as the Jinling, but even more magnificent.
The Forbidden City also has a front palace and a back palace. The three front halls are still called Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, and Jinshen Hall, supplemented by Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall on both sides, which are the front dynasty; the back palace is centered on Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Hall, Kunning Palace, the Sixth East and West Palaces and the Imperial Garden, supplemented by some other palaces.
The three main halls of the previous dynasty were built on eight-foot-high three-story white marble steps. When Xuanyu went to court in Fengtian Hall for the first time, he was deeply intoxicated by this solemn and magnificent building, and he was full of pride as he looked at it.
He turned back to Xuan Yuan who was standing next to the dragon chair and said, "Look, this is King Lin Tianxia."
Extra: Brothers
Yuan Jiaming was sitting in the outer study of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, looking through the account books in his hand with a headache.
The expenditure in the house has increased sharply recently, and the accountant specially found him and gently reminded him to pay attention to the flow of money. Losing money is a small matter, but the second young master took the money out privately to learn bad things, but it will be a big deal.
But Yuan Jiaming couldn't hold on and not release the money. After all, the person who took the money privately was his brother Yuan Jiazhen.
Yuan Jiazhen is eight years younger than Yuan Jiaming, and is only twelve years old this year. Moreover, this brother is the only biological son of his father and mother. He is the super bully in the house. Everyone loves and protects him, and he has developed an arrogant temper. Yuan Jiaming does not dare to discipline him easily.
After all, Yuan Jiaming knew his identity well. He was the adopted son of his parents. Although he was raised as the eldest son, he was not tied by blood after all. Yuan Jiaming had never been presumptuous since he became sensible.
Blood relationship is a very wonderful thing, it can always make people feel the difference between closeness and distance very subtly.
When he was young, Yuan Jiaming thought he was his parents' biological son, so he acted like a spoiled brat to his heart's content. When he didn't want to practice martial arts or study, he would run to his mother and pretend to be pitiful and beg for mercy. At that time, he was very happy, carefree, and comfortable.
It wasn't until he was eight years old that his mother became pregnant and gave birth to a little brother, and his aunt Feng Minting suddenly revealed his true life experience - it turned out that he was not his parents' biological son, and his biological father died to save his adoptive father.
His aunt taught him that he should work hard to make progress, be careful to please his parents, pamper and protect his younger brother, and never act like a spoiled brat.
My aunt said, "You have to be sensible."
For children, being sensible is really painful.
From then on, Yuan Jiaming had a vague grudge in his heart and felt an inexplicable sadness. He felt that no matter what he did, he would never be as lovable as his brother.
Yuan Jiaming is now twenty years old. He got married last year and has his eldest son this year. But he is thinking about whether he should give up his status as the "eldest son"?
In the evening, Yuan Jiaming found his father in the studio while he was painting.
When my father is at home, he spends most of his time with his mother. He only likes to be alone when he is concentrating on painting.
The relationship between his father and mother was very good, which made Yuan Jiaming envious, and he also determined to follow their example and treat his legitimate wife well.
After listening to Yuan Jiaming's words, Yuan Pingzhi slowly put down his painting brush.
After forty years, he is still handsome, like a orchid or a jade tree, but he has added the maturity and grace unique to middle-aged people, which makes him even more charming.
The main construction of the Yanjing project has been completed, and the later construction of Yuan Pingzhi has long been handed over to others. Now he has regained his leisure, and even handed over the housework to his eldest son, and has restored the style of a wealthy and idle man.
Yuan Jiaming watched his father gradually lose the smile on his face, and couldn't help but feel flustered. He knew that his father was a soft-hearted and kind person, but this did not mean that he had no temper.On the contrary, his noble temper is also very big.
"You said, you want to resign as the eldest son of the Zhenguo General's Mansion?" Yuan Pingzhi asked in a calm tone.
Yuan Jiaming hesitated for a while, then nodded, and then hurriedly added: "I am still the son of my parents, and I will still be filial to you, but I don't think I need to occupy the name of the eldest son. It is better to return it to my younger brother, which is well deserved."
"Isn't it necessary? What do you mean by necessity? When you grow up and your wings harden, you don't need your parents' protection anymore, so you want to leave the General's Mansion?"
"No!" Yuan Jiaming shook his head and said hurriedly: "No!"
He obviously just didn't want to take advantage of his younger brother and wanted his parents' biological son to inherit their family business!
"Then what are you?" Yuan Pingzhi suddenly changed color, and before Yuan Jiaming could react, he slapped him hard on the face.
Burning pain.
What makes Yuan Jiaming even more embarrassed is that this is the first time that he has never been beaten by his father and mother in his whole life.
"Do you know why I beat you?" Yuan Pingzhi sneered: "I beat you for being ungrateful, I beat you for being selfish, I beat you for not being filial to your parents, I beat you for not being friendly to your siblings!"
Yuan Jiaming lowered his head, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Feel wronged? Did your parents raise you just to make you feel like an adopted son? No matter why I adopted you in the first place, your mother and I raised you as our biological son. You just listened to others' instigation and distanced yourself from us? If you don't call this unfilial, what else can you call it?"
Yuan Jiaming's face turned red with shame and he lowered his head even more.
"Your biological father is a very affectionate man. As your adoptive father, I consider myself to be a man of love and justice. Why don't you imitate us, but instead imitate the caress of women in the boudoir? Are you embarrassed? A grown man should have his own dignified rules when it comes to dealing with others, and he should behave upright. The words of others can only be used as a reference, and you cannot turn yourself into a weed in the wind!"
"Dad..."
"Don't call me that! I've been annoyed by your indecisiveness recently. Do you want to show your generosity by giving up the position of your eldest son? Then where do you put your parents? Do you turn your parents into evil people who are ungrateful and favor their own children in the eyes of the world? Where do you put your younger brother? Do you let him become an evil person who is indolent and fraternal?"
