Chapter 240 My Son is a Traitor (End)(1/2)
"...I can't blame He Xi this time."
Classmate Little D couldn't help but jump out and say something fair: "Anyone who is the most proud of himself will be angry if someone pours a bucket of cold water on him!"
"Even if a mother and son are biologically related, they know that the other person may be doing it for their own good, but they still can't help but feel resentful!"
Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, unless they reach the level of a saint.
Otherwise, no normal person could stand He Tiantian's arrogant way.
Not to mention, He Xi was originally a selfish and cold-blooded person.
He only contributed 3 points of hatred this time, instead of 20 or 30 like Yang Shilang and others, which is already considered very good.
Even classmate Little D, as He Tiantian’s close friend, would sometimes get so angry that He Tiantian jumped on the floor.
At this moment, it actually understood and sympathized with He Xi!
He Tiantian:...I don’t blame He Xi either.
Also, little D, why do you look like you and He Xi are "suffering brothers"?
Do I want to be so arrogant?
Isn’t it forced by your system?
He Tiantian rolled her eyes at Little D. She didn't say anything, but Little D still felt her discomfort.
Little D's classmate was startled and quickly shrank himself into a corner, not daring to act blindly anymore.
"Auntie, in your heart, am I so unbearable?"
Just when He Tiantian was distracted and bickering with classmate Xiao D, He Xi had already spoken in grief and anger.
"My son, why do you think so?"
He Tiantian retracted her thoughts and concentrated on dealing with He Xi.
She deliberately made a sad and angry look like "I'm doing you a favor, but you don't appreciate it."
"Ding! He Xi's hatred value is 1!"
He Xi cocked his neck and stared at his mother like an angry child.
His expression seemed to say, "I want to see what explanation you can give me."
"In my heart, my husband is the smartest and most powerful person in the world."
He Tiantian turned away from being picky and mean just now, and her face was filled with pride that "my child is the most awesome".
"I started my enlightenment at the age of six. I was admitted as a scholar at the age of thirteen. I was admitted as a Jinshi at the age of sixteen and became the youngest beauty scout in the Great Xia Dynasty!"
"My mother-in-law doesn't understand those poems and articles that are unprecedented and unprecedented, but after more than a hundred years since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, my son will definitely be able to leave a mark in history!"
"Such an amazing talent, so young and handsome, worthy of being a peerless talent!"
He Tiantian boasted endlessly, just like all the parents in the world who love their children.
He Xi's dark face finally began to slowly turn from gloomy to clear.
I knew that even if everyone in the world couldn't see my talent and thought I was a softie, neither would my mother-in-law!
However, before He Xi could be happy for too long, a turning point came——
"The problem is, my son, my mother-in-law alone cannot represent the whole world."
"Others don't care whether you are the youngest courtier in the Great Xia Dynasty, nor do they ask whether you are doing your best as a servant. They only see one thing: you married the most distinguished princess of the Great Xia Dynasty.
, the eldest princess Yongchang, the only beloved daughter of Duke Wei!"
"This alone can cover up all your efforts and all your brilliance!"
He Tiantian said with some sadness and indignation, "Especially now that the Guo family has returned to Beijing to recuperate and has resigned from the position of Chief of the Northwest Army and Horses. The saint cannot bear it. He is giving the Guo family a favor and adding food to Ankang..."
The Duke of Wei's palace was filled with glory and endless rewards.
At this time, the saint promoted He Xi to an official position.
Anyone with a bit of brain would think that the sage "loves the house and the bird" and promoted He Xi just to make faces for the Guo family.
Of course, people with relatively high political sensitivity and smart minds can see deeper content.
It's just that He Tiantian, played by He Tiantian, is a somewhat clever village woman. With her knowledge and brain, she can only see the first level of things.
This aspect happens to be what the saints want the public to misunderstand.
With He Xi's intelligence, he was able to see the deeper meaning, but he hated those "misconceptions".
He Xi has real talent and knowledge, and his promotion is not based on nepotism at all——
Well, okay, there was a voice deep in He Xi's heart: "If you weren't the son-in-law of the Guo family, and if the saint didn't want to check and balance the Guo family, you wouldn't be in a high position so quickly!"
However, He Xi's self-esteem and pride made him not want to face the real and heartbreaking facts in his heart.
But now, his own mother has torn that cover apart with her own hands, revealing a cruel and bloody side to him.
"Ding! He Xi's hatred value is 1!"
My dear mother, you are my dear mother. How could you deliberately expose your son’s scars?!
"Da Lang, I know that my words will make you uncomfortable and hurt your heart like a needle!"
While He Tiantian played the role of a loving mother, she also did not forget to stimulate He Xi a little bit.
"Ding! He Xi's hatred value is 3!"
Auntie, you know this, but you still do this?
Don’t you feel sorry for your son at all?
"But, I know you're in pain, I know you're sad, but I still have to say it!" He Tiantian said in a sincere manner.
"Ding! He Xi's hatred value is 1!"
"I don't want you to deceive yourself. As the saying goes, oh, by the way, know your shame and then be brave!"
He Xi:...Is this how the saying "know one's shame and then be brave" is used?
Why is he so "shameful"?!
He Tiantian saw that the heat was almost over, so she started to get down to business, "Outsiders only think of you as a member of the Guo family, because the Guo family has a bright and open official career. But, Aniang knows that in addition to having a good wife, you also have real talents and learning.
!”
"It just so happens that the saint asked you to go to the Ministry of Finance, so let's do our jobs well and let our real achievements speak for themselves!"
"It's like when we girls were still in our hometown, and I sent you to study, others said I was stupid, thinking that instead of spending money to study, we poor farmers, orphans and widowed mothers, should buy two more acres of land.
, build two more rooms for you and your brother to get married."
"But after you pass the exam, will anyone in the village still laugh at my mother? They have all forgotten what happened back then, and they keep praising me as a literary star and praising me as a mother for my foresight!"
"... No matter what others say now, if you make achievements in the future, they will only remember your success!"
He Tiantian said slowly.
What she said was quite reasonable.
He Xi, who was still a little resentful of his mother's "sharp mouth" just now, slowly calmed down.
However, He Xi had a headache when he thought about the intricate and confusing things in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Officials certainly know the importance of political performance.
But the question is, are political achievements so easy to obtain?
Just like all 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 were so many scholars in Daxia, and everyone worked hard and diligently, but there were only one or two hundred people who passed the Jinshi examination in each subject.
Some things cannot be achieved by hard work. In addition to personal ability, it also requires the right time, place and people.
He Xi is indeed confident, but he is still relatively sober when it comes to government affairs.
With his qualifications and age, even if he has Duke Wei and Princess Ankang behind him, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Ministry of Household Affairs without tangible achievements.
"Auntie, I understand all this, but being an errand in a government office is not an easy task."
He Xi rubbed his eyebrows, let out a long sigh, and said helplessly.
"I know, let's find a way."
He Tiantian smiled and said, "For example, if you are now in charge of taxation, then think of ways to increase land tax and taxes."
Regardless of whether it is land tax or taxes, if you want to increase it, there are only two ways: increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.
In increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, increasing revenue is the most important.
Just relying on savings will not save much money. Only by increasing output can the problem be truly solved.
"Dalang, my mother-in-law has done it for you. Look, this is a secret book that my mother-in-law has tried to get for you. As long as you follow it, you can increase your grain yield per acre."
He Tiantian mysteriously took out a booklet from her sleeve and stuffed it into He Xi's hand like a treasure.
He Xi:......
