As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at each other, with expressions of sudden enlightenment and surprise as they suddenly found that the answer they had been looking for for a long time was right in front of them.

Then he heard Zhu Chong say quietly: "Besides... now that many heroes have risen in the territory of Southern Qi, it is still unknown who will win..."

"Husband, do you mean... Sheng Jinghai really...?" Zhou Lin's eyebrows twitched.

I thought that Sheng Jinghai didn't seem to be interested in the throne. But after hearing Zhu Chong's tone, I still asked uncertainly.

But the other party shook his head and said mysteriously:

"Don't forget that the Sheng family is not just Sheng Jinghai, nor are they just the most noisy ones in public."

"The destiny of heaven will not change because of human will. Some people... are born with a blessed appearance. Even if they are not interested in the most honorable position, it is difficult to defy fate..."

"Husband, what do you mean?"

Everyone was confused by what he said. Zhu just shook his head and didn't want to say anything more.

…

From then on, a group of literati led by Zhu Chong settled down in Nanyang County with peace of mind.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was gone.

According to the original book, these three extreme cold weather disasters have become more severe. This year, the first snowstorm arrived just as late autumn was coming to an end. The snowstorms that followed in the following months were also much more severe than before.

In Nanyang County, Sheng Nanxi could still try her best to control the wind flow from blowing to crowded areas, but the nearby counties did not have the protection of such a living Bodhisattva as her.

Even though many people had received the warning from Qingyun Pavilion and reinforced their houses, many buildings still could not withstand such strong winds and snow and were blown away.

Hot springs in some areas were directly frozen due to low water flow and insufficient temperature, causing the entire floor heating system to stop working.

Of course, many people initially thought that Qingyun Pavilion was scaremongering, and did not follow the steps they promoted to prevent natural disasters, which directly caused the people who were most severely affected by the disaster.

For a whole day, the Sheng family was busy dealing with a series of disaster relief affairs.

Fortunately, God never lets people down, and spring finally arrived as promised a few months later.

Due to the cold front, this spring is a little colder than last year, but at least we don't have to endure the bone-chilling cold of yesterday.

In order to ensure that the natural disaster did not have too much impact on the environment, Sheng Nanxi went into the mountains and forests around Nanyang County on the first day of her arrival and collected many wild animals and plants into the space.

But she was limited in her ability to take in all the animals and plants. Most of the animals and plants left outside did not survive the destruction caused by two consecutive natural disasters.

Even in spring, the dense forests inside and outside Nanyang County have lost their usual vibrant appearance.

However, people seem to be naturally affected by the solar terms. Recently, everyone has less things to do, and some people's hearts have begun to stir with the warmer weather.

Not to mention that he kept calling "Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao" all day long. Regardless of spring, summer, or autumn, the ultimate lover Lin Shaoxuan always revolved around Xiao Yao.

Sheng Nanxi's good third brother seemed to be summoned at a fixed time and place to have some hidden desires. Whenever he had time, he would take Wang Xuran out to eat, drink and have fun.

It is said that the two have recently traveled all over Nanyang County and are discussing going to several nearby counties to develop other recreational spots.

Speaking of which, these two are simply a strange pair. They have reconciled since they joined forces to fight against the siege of Dou Li people last time.

When they hate each other, they hate each other to the point of gnashing their teeth, and when they love each other, they love each other fiercely. They stay together like conjoined twins all day long.

In the past, whenever they met, they would blush and call each other "little dogs", but now, if anyone dared to glare at Wang Xuran, Third Brother would pick up his sword and chase them for several blocks.

Although the other brothers were not as conspicuous as these two, they were obviously much more affectionate than usual.

The eldest brother and the sister Feng have been through thick and thin together, so their relationship is naturally extraordinary. Although their days are dull, they always give people the illusion of being an old married couple.

The second brother and sister Lingfei have also experienced several life-and-death crises together. The two have a tacit understanding, and often can guess what the other is up to with just one look. Together, they play around with the cold-hearted old man of the Zhang family.

The atmosphere when they are together in private is even sweeter than usual!

As for Fourth Brother and Sister Xiyue...

One of them is sullen and treacherous, the other is timid and shy. They are both the type of people who don't talk much in front of others. When people gather together, they can't even feel their presence.

Sheng Nanxi, who was at the forefront of gossip, knew that although the two looked unfamiliar during the day, they actually dated every night.

Recently, we have developed to the point where we do carpentry together in the first half of the night and make supper together in the second half of the night, and we are reluctant to leave until dawn!

There were pink bubbles all around them, which naturally made my mother and grandmother see the clues.

It just so happens that the weather is not that cold anymore, so it is time to put the children's family affairs on the agenda.

When it comes to seniority, the family should of course focus on the older ones first.

The eldest brother originally wanted to wait until he accompanied Sister Feng to avenge the destruction of the family before discussing leaving home, but if he did not leave home it would affect the marriages of several of his younger brothers.

After discussing it, the two agreed to the suggestion of their mother and the others. It would not be too late to go home first and then seek revenge.

They were discussing things enthusiastically, but something unexpected happened, catching everyone off guard.

Their whole family watched as their most upright fifth brother was embracing the granddaughter of Master Zhu after taking Chinese medicine, and they were caught red-handed? !

This story begins with a flower-viewing banquet recently hosted by Madam Zhu.

Everyone knows that this kind of small gathering is not about appreciating flowers, but about appreciating people. In the past, in the capital, the ladies of each family liked to hold similar small gatherings.

Firstly, it was to enhance the relationship between noble ladies, and secondly, it was also a small-scale blind date. If the young lady and the young lady fell in love at the banquet, they would get married. It would be a good story.

Therefore, even though there were only a dozen wilted orchids blooming in the small flower shed in the backyard of the Zhu residence, no one paid much attention to it and instead enjoyed "appreciating" them to their heart's content.

I don't know why, but my fifth brother, who has always loved studying military tactics, doesn't even like to go to dinner parties with his colleagues, but he was invited to such a boring flower viewing party.

He once again accepted the invitation and agreed to stay at the mansion for one night.

It is said that Miss Zhu San, Zhu Jianing, is well-versed in poetry and literature, and her every word and action is a model of etiquette. She was once privately called "the first lady in the capital" by many playboys.

However, it is said that her mother died early, and the second wife, Lu, whom Zhu Daye married, was quite jealous. Seeing that she had been in the limelight at several banquets for dignitaries, she was resentful and always liked to make trouble for her. In recent years, she has rarely been allowed to show her in public.

Zhu Chong and his father were the kind of people who had a deep understanding of statecraft, but didn't know much about the internal struggles. Many major events on the surface would naturally constrain the Lu family, but how could they see the dark and trivial things behind the scenes?

It is conceivable that Miss Zhu San is probably not having a very comfortable time at home.

It is said that during that time, the Zhu family was looking for a good man for Zhu Jianing. Master Zhu originally wanted one of his favorite students, but Zhu Jianing's stepsister Zhu Si had already fallen in love with that man.

He planned to drug her at the flower viewing party, hoping that she would have an affair with the groom. When there were many people present, he would bring people to catch the adultery on the spot, and Zhu Jianing would naturally be unable to defend herself.

After all, she could have used a gentler way to get what she wanted. The reason she chose such a vicious method was naturally because she wanted to ruin Zhu Jianing's reputation.

She just watched everything go smoothly as planned. When she took everyone to the bedroom to catch the adultery, she didn't see Zhu Jianing at all.

Zhu Si was so angry that he wanted to search the entire courtyard.

After breaking into several rooms, they found Sheng Tiance and Zhu Jianing hugging each other in a corner of a woodshed!
