"What are we arguing about?"
Tuoba Zhen didn't react for a moment.
Song Xia looked directly at him and said, "The throne, aren't you afraid they'll deal with you? Your mother has become a Noble Consort, and you've gained your father's favor, so it's inevitable that they'll deal with you. Since that's the case, why don't you take this opportunity to deal with them back? Once you become emperor, what will you have to fear from them? At that time, they'll be the ones fearing you!"
That's another way.
But can he do it?
Tuoba Zhen thought of the piles of memorials and hurriedly waved his hand: "I, I can't do it, how could I!"
He seems so insecure.
Song Xia opened her mouth and said, "Do you want to be slaughtered? Remember, you are a member of the royal family. From birth, your life was destined to be anything but peaceful. If you don't fight, you could very well become a sacrifice in their struggle for the throne..."
Tuoba Zhen only wanted to live a life of leisure and comfort.
If stability cannot be achieved.
What can he do then?
Are we really going to fight over this?
Tuoba Zhen lowered his head and said, "Although my mother was quite beautiful, my maternal grandfather was only a minor county magistrate. Because of this, my mother became a palace maid not long after entering the palace. If my father hadn't discovered her, she probably wouldn't have become his woman. My maternal clan was so weak; it wasn't something I could just fight for..."
so.
Song Xia pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't that simple? Find a way to get your grandfather promoted. By the way, does your grandfather have any other children? What do they do?"
Upon hearing this...
Tuoba Zhen slightly twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "You think getting promoted is as easy as eating? It's not that simple. My grandfather had two sons; one was a businessman, and the other was a clerk in another county—not particularly good, but not bad either..."
It would be great if I didn't have an uncle who was mediocre and a burden.
Song Xia then inquired about the situation in the county where Tuoba Zhen's maternal grandfather lived.
They learned that, like other counties, their county had low crop yields, and some people went hungry even after paying taxes.
Song Xia had an idea: if he could increase crop yields, would he be able to get a promotion?
Modern hybrid rice is the result of numerous improvements.
To achieve high yields.
Besides the importance of environment and management, the quality of the seeds themselves is also crucial.
If we can improve the rice variety, wouldn't that increase the yield?
only.
Hybrid rice takes time to develop and cannot be produced overnight.
Even after it's grown, we still need to test it.
Song Xia raised her hand and gently patted Tuoba Zhen's shoulder, saying, "There will be a day when you can. You should study hard first. Once your father finds that you are doing well, he will pay more attention to you. Then, would they dare to touch you so easily?"
Before Tuoba Zhen could say anything...
Song Xia packed him several kinds of food, including brain-boosting supplements.
She didn't know if it would work, but she figured she'd give it a try anyway.
"Immortal, you are so kind."
Tuoba Zhen was deeply moved. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Immortal, what is your name? I will go back and put up a plaque for you and worship you every day."
Song Xia: "..."
He really treated her like a goddess.
Song Xia coughed and said, "There's no need for offerings. I don't care about worldly affairs."
"oh."
Tuoba Zhen responded, "Immortal, has Jin Beicheng come to your place recently? Did he tell you that the Lady of Pingyang helped him obtain an imperial decree for marriage and even adopted him as her godson?"
Song Xia naturally knew this.
The moment Jin Beichen received the imperial decree of marriage, he went to the Space Supermarket to find her.
I learned that she knew.
Tuoba Zhen then asked, "Do you know who Song Xia is in the imperial edict bestowing the marriage?"
Why does he have so many questions?
Song Xia replied, "You'll find out later."
"Too."
"We'll see each other again eventually."
Tuoba Zhen muttered to himself.
This way.
The Jin Prince's Mansion.
Jin Sikong returned from his outing and, upon learning of Jin Beichen's arranged marriage, immediately came to ask him who Song Xia was.
He said she was a peasant woman.
Jin Sikong strongly objected.
Jin Beichen started packing his things without saying a word.
Jin Si was so angry he wanted to steal his things.
But now, how could he possibly be a match for Jin Beicheng?
About ten moves.
He was knocked back by Jin Beichen's palm strike.
Jin Beicheng has now bought another house, and he plans to never live at home again.
Jin Sikong said coldly, "You've got guts! You dare to lay a hand on your father!"
"You forced me to do it."
"You were the one who started it!"
Jin Beichen picked up his bundle and walked out.
Jin Sikong chased after him.
"You think you're so great just because you've become the princess's adopted son? Let me tell you, she's only interested in you for now. Once she's tired of you, let's see if she'll still let you be her adopted son!"
"If you dare leave, don't ever come back!"
Jin Beichen stopped and looked directly at him, saying, "If you say that, what will Pingyang magistrate think? No matter what, she helped me, and I won't blame her no matter how she treats me."
"you…"
Jin Sikong grabbed a flowerpot from the side and threw it over.
Jin Beichen turned aside and left the Jin Prince's Mansion without looking back.
the next day.
Jin Beicheng then set off back to Yucheng.
This year's Chinese New Year.
Jin Beichen spent the New Year with Song Xia in the Space Supermarket.
Song Xia hadn't told her family about their relationship yet.
After discussing it with her, Jin Beicheng decided to bring a matchmaker to their home on the sixth day of the first lunar month to propose marriage.
Song Xia agreed without any objection.
She didn't get better in the first year of junior high.
I didn't have time in the second year of junior high either.
Song Xia then told Song Lao Si and the others about this on the third day of the lunar new year.
Song Dong looked shocked: "What? An engagement? Second Sister, who are you getting engaged to?"
"So, with whom?"
Song Qiu was completely bewildered; she hadn't seen her older sister getting close to any man.
"Is your daughter Ji Ying?"
After much thought, Song Laosi only wanted him.
Fang Xiu and Song Chun both looked at Song Xia.
Song Xia organized her thoughts and said, "His name is Jin Beicheng, and he's a general in the Great Qi. I've known him for a while now, but we hadn't decided on an engagement before, so I didn't tell you..."
He was a general.
Fang Xiu asked with some concern, "How old is he? Is he truly sincere towards you?"
"I'm twenty this year, and I mean it."
Song Xia's face was all smiles when she talked about Jin Beichen.
Song Laosi said from the side, "You, you really caught us completely off guard..."
"It was somewhat sudden."
Song Xia admitted it.
Granny Song and the others were also shocked when they learned of this, because they had never heard of it before.
Qiao Lianhua felt both envious and jealous, but at the same time, she thought Song Xia was too capable. Not only could she do everything, but she was also good at making money, and now she had found such a good man to be her husband.
They learned that Jin Beicheng would be visiting their home on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
They all decided to do nothing and go nowhere today, and just stay at their house.
Let's see what Jin Beicheng looks like and whether he's a good person.
then.
As soon as Jin Beicheng arrived, he was surrounded and scrutinized by Granny Song and her group.
