Chapter 240 My Son Is a Traitor (End)
"...I can't blame He Xi this time."
Xiao D couldn't help but jumped out and said a fair word: "Anyone who is poured a bowl of cold water on his head when he is the most complacent will be angry!"
"Even if it is the mother and son of the direct relative, knowing that the other party may be doing it for their own good, but they still can't help but feel resentment in their hearts!"
People have emotions and desires, unless they are at the level of a saint.
Otherwise, normal people would not be able to stand up to He Tiantian's arrogance.
Not to mention, He Xi was originally a selfish and cold person.
This time, he only contributed 3 points of hatred, not like Yang Shilang and others, 20, 30 at every turn, which is already considered very good.
Even Xiao D, as He Tiantian's close friend, sometimes gets mad at He Tiantian.
At this moment, it actually understands and sympathizes with He Xi!
He Tiantian: I don't blame He Xi either.
Also, Xiao D, what's the matter with your appearance of being a "distressed brother" with He Xi?
Do I want to be so rude?
Isn't your system forced?
He Tiantian rolled her eyes back at classmate D, but she didn't say anything, but classmate D still felt her displeasure.
Xiao D was taken aback, and hurriedly shrank himself into the corner, daring not to push him.
"Auntie, in your heart, I, I am so unbearable?"
Just when He Tiantian was distracted and quarreling with classmate Xiao D, He Xi had already opened her mouth in grief and indignation.
"My son, why do you think so?"
He Tiantian took back the mind that was divided and concentrated on dealing with He Xi.
She deliberately made a sad and indignant look of "I'm good for you, but you don't appreciate it".
"Ding! He Xi's hatred value +1!"
He Xi stalked her neck and stared at her mother like a pissed off child.
With this expression, he seemed to be saying, "I want to see how you can explain it."
"In A-Niang's heart, my Dalang is the smartest and most powerful person in the world."
He Tiantian turned her back on being picky and mean, and her face was filled with the pride of "my child is the most awesome".
"I started enlightenment at the age of six, I was admitted as a scholar at the age of thirteen, and I was admitted as a jinshi at the age of sixteen, becoming the youngest tanhualang in the Great Xia Dynasty!"
"Auntie doesn't understand those poems and essays that have never been seen before and never come after, but for more than 100 years since the founding of Daxia, my son can definitely leave a legacy in history!"
"Such an amazing talent, such a young and handsome, worthy of a peerless talent!"
He Tiantian boasted incessantly, just like all the parents in the world who love their children.
He Xi's dark face finally began to slowly turn from cloudy to sunny.
I knew that even if people all over the world couldn't see my talent, they all thought that I would eat soft rice, and neither would my mother!
But, before He Xi was happy for too long, the turning point came—
"The problem is, my son, A-Niang alone can't represent the whole world."
"Others won't care if you are the youngest Tanhua Lang of the Great Xia Dynasty, nor will they ask you if you are doing your best as a messenger. They only see one thing: you are married to the most honorable county master of the Great Xia Dynasty. , Princess Yongchang, the only beloved daughter of Duke Wei!"
"This alone can cover up all your hard work, all your brilliance!"
He Tiantian said with some grief and indignation, "Especially now, Guo's family has returned to Beijing to recuperate, and he has also resigned as the official of the Northwest Military and Horse Director. The sage feels unbearable, and he is rewarding the Guo family and adding food to Ankang..."
Weiguo Gong's mansion has infinite glory for a while, and the awards are endless.
And at this time, the sage promoted He Xi again.
Anyone with a little brain will think that the saint is "love the house and Wu" and promote He Xi to make a face for the Guo family.
Of course, people with high political sensitivity and smart brains can see deeper content.
It's just that He Tian, played by He Tiantian, is a little clever village woman. With her knowledge and brain, she can only see things at the first level.
At this level, it happens that the sage wants the public to misunderstand.
With He Xi's cleverness, he can fully see the deeper meaning, but he hates those "misunderstandings".
He Xi has real talent and real learning, he will be promoted, not relying on nepotism at all——
Eh, well, there is a voice deep in He Xi's heart: "If you weren't the son-in-law of the Guo family, if the sage didn't want to check and balance the Guo family, you wouldn't have been in a high position so quickly!"
However, He Xi's self-esteem and pride made him not want to face the real and piercing facts in his heart.
But now, his own mother tore up the cover with her own hands, revealing the cruel and bloody side to him.
"Ding! He Xi's hatred value +1!"
Mother, you are my mother, how can you, how can you deliberately expose your son's scars? !
"Dalang, A-Niang knows that A-Niang's words will make you uncomfortable and will stab your heart like a needle!"
While He Tiantian was playing the loving mother, he did not forget to stimulate He Xi a little.
"Ding! He Xi's hatred value +3!"
Auntie, you know this, but you still do this?
Don't you feel sorry for your son at all!
"But, knowing that you are in pain, and that you are sad, A-Niang still wants to say it!" He Tiantian put on a bitter attitude.
"Ding! He Xi's hatred value +1!"
"I don't want you to deceive yourself. There's a saying, oh, yes, be ashamed and then brave!"
He Xi: …Is this the way to use the phrase to be ashamed and then brave?
Why is he "ashamed"? !
Seeing that the heat was almost over, He Tiantian began to step into the topic, "Outsiders only regard you as an affiliate of the Guo family, because the Guo family has a magnanimous career. But, my mother knows that in addition to having a good Yue family, you also have real talents and practical learning. !"
"It just so happens that the sage asked you to go to the Ministry of Housing, so let's do a good job and speak with real achievements!"
"It's like when my mother-in-law was still in my hometown, I sent you to study, and others said I was stupid, thinking that we poor farmers, orphans and widows, instead of spending money to study, we might as well buy two more acres of land. , build two more rooms for you and your brother to marry."
"But, after you pass the exam, will there still be people in the village laughing at A-Niang? They all forgot what happened back then, and kept praising me for being a star of Wenqu, and praising me for being a woman with a vision!"
"...No matter what others say now, in the future you will make achievements, they will only remember your success!"
He Tiantian said slowly.
Her words were quite reasonable.
He Xi, who still resented her mother's "knife mouth" just now, slowly calmed down.
However, thinking of the intricate and chaotic things in the Ministry of Household, He Xi has a headache.
Those who are officials, of course, know the importance of political achievements.
But the question is, is the performance so good?
Just like the scholars in the world, they all know that as long as they study hard, they can become an official and make a fortune.
But there are so many scholars in the whole Daxia, and everyone is hardworking, but only one or two hundred Jinshi are passed out of each subject.
Some things are not achieved by hard work. In addition to personal ability, you also need the right time, place and people.
He Xi is indeed confident, but he is still relatively sober in government affairs.
With his qualifications and age, even if there are the Duke of Wei and Ankang County behind him, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the Ministry of Household without real achievements.
"Auntie, I understand all these things, but being an errand in the yamen is not an easy thing."
He Xi rubbed his brows, sighed, and said helplessly.
"I know, let's find a way."
He Tiantian said with a smile, "For example, if you are in charge of taxation now, then find a way to increase land and taxation."
Regardless of whether it is land tax or taxation, there are only two ways to increase it: open source and reduce expenditure.
Open source is the most important thing in reducing expenditure.
Savings alone won't save you much grain. Only by increasing output can the problem be truly solved.
"Dalang, A-Niang has already done it for you. Look at it. This is the secret book that A-Niang tried to get you. As long as you follow the instructions, you can increase the yield of grain per mu."
He Tiantian mysteriously took out a booklet from her sleeve and stuffed it to He Xi like a baby.
He Xi: …
Suddenly there was a sense of absurdity, he, he was really dizzy, and he actually told an old lady who didn't know anything about government affairs.
What's the secret?
Could it be the tricks of those charlatans to fool people.
The liar who killed thousands of knives actually deceived him in front of his house.
Snapped!
Seeing the helplessness and disgust in He Xi's eyes, He Tiantian raised her hand and hit He Xi on the back of the head.
"Ding! He Xi's hatred value +1!"
A-Niang, you have been deceived and caused the family to lose a lot of money. I haven't blamed you for being a son, but you, you are so embarrassed to hit me? !
He Xi's mood just calmed down, and a little resentful.
He Tiantian glared at He Xi, "You bastard, are you scolding me from the bottom of your heart? Think I'm stupid, an old fool, and easily deceived?"
Is not it?
He Xi complained in her heart, but did not dare to say it.
If it was a few days ago, He Xi would most likely reply directly.
However, recently, his mother has been verbally attacking him at every turn, and occasionally beat him.
On the contrary, He Xi was a little more in awe.
The person in front of him is not someone else, but the widowed mother who brought him up through hard work.
Even if He Xi is a white-eyed wolf in his bones, he will calmly weigh the pros and cons.
If she is not filial enough and makes A-Niang dissatisfied, A-Niang will make trouble again.
Hehe, with the charge of "disobedience", He Xi, let alone an official, is expected to be charged.
It's the same sentence, if the mother is still the same as in the past, relying on herself for everything, just being docile and careful, He Xi is not afraid that her mother will cause trouble.
But now... The mother seems to have changed, He Xi is not sure at all, if she angers her old man, what kind of thing she will do!
In addition, Mrs. Zhenxian's appointment on her own mother's head was too dazzling.
The official title of the mother was not obtained because of him, but because the saint felt that her character was precious and could be regarded as a model for the women of the world, which was a special gift.
Well, although everyone understands in their hearts, He Tian's official life also relies on the daughter-in-law of Ankang County Master.
But the official has come to a clear conclusion that He Tian did not rely on his son, but because of his own efforts and sacrifices.
Under such circumstances, He Xi no longer has the kind of "you still depend on me" for her mother.
His mother became "uncontrollable", and He Xi himself was not so righteous, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and had to follow the trend to be a real dutiful son.
"Auntie, I don't have it!"
He Xi rubbed the back of his head aggrievedly, and said something in a murmur.
"It's good if you don't have it! Hmph, I got this secret recipe with great difficulty and a lot of money. You can quickly find a villager, find some old farmers, and let them do it well!"
"Those people don't always joke that our He family is a farmer's slave, then we really rely on farming to make real achievements!"
"My son, as long as you grow high-yield grains, you will not only impress those honorable people, but also shut up those shameless villains who say you rely on relationships!"
"We, even though you were born poor, you are capable. Although you have married a good lady, you are also capable!"
He Tiantian, as a second-generation senior cheater, is definitely good at brainwashing people like chicken blood.
She said a lot, which really aroused He Xi's fighting spirit.
Yes, what if others look down on him, as long as he shows real results, they can only shut up!
He studied hard in the past to fight for his breath, and now he is working hard for a job, which is also a reason!
It's just... uh, what secret recipe is this really reliable?
But another voice in his mind quickly told him: Is it reliable or not, you will know if you try it?
A-Niang also said, first find a Zhuangzi to do an experiment, and let the old farmers make records.
The crops grow in the fields, whether it is good or bad, whether it is increasing or decreasing, it is clear at a glance, and there is no way to fake it.
Just when He Xi was in high spirits and wanted to roll up his sleeves, He Tiantian suddenly said something—
"Of course, it's also true that our He family married a daughter-in-law of noble birth and a holy favor. You can also be promoted, and you have a credit for Ankang!"
"Ding! He Xi's hatred value +1!"
My dear, some things can only be seen through and not revealed, and the family can be happy and happy.
No matter how crazy He Xi was complaining in his heart, he was still coaxed and forced to farm by his mother.
Regarding the affairs of the Ministry of Household, He Xi, a newly arrived servant, could not get involved at all.
If there is no farming, he will probably be resentful, how to find ways to drill the camp.
As in the original plot, in order to gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Households and fight for power and profit, he will come up with all kinds of conspiracies to frame up, form parties for personal gain, and embezzle money and bend the law.
He will willingly become a knife in the hands of the saint, cutting Guo's family, the Duke's Mansion of Weiguo, and his wife one by one.
In the end, he became obsessed with greed and became a traitorous official who has been infamous for thousands of years.
But now-
The Ministry of Household was controlled by the aristocratic family, and he, a low-income upstart, was directly placed on the air, and He Xi was not too annoyed.
He went directly to a farm under Ankang's name to conduct experiments.
Of course, the process of farming is too long, and it may not be able to see results in three to five months.
Fortunately, the booklet provided by He Tiantian is not only the technology of increasing the yield per mu, but also methods such as feeding chickens and pigs.
He Xi also acquired the technology of drying sea salt, and this alone made him completely gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Household.
Before he knew it, He Xi had deviated from the track, from a traitor who only knew how to manipulate power into a pragmatic official.
Of course, because of different political opinions and backgrounds, there are still some people in the DPRK who angrily denounce He Xi as a traitor who competes with the people for profit.
However, this traitor is not another traitor, He Tiantian believes that future generations will definitely have a more fair judgment...
