Zhu Manniang's life is really neither good nor bad, neither embarrassed nor embarrassed. According to her background as an ordinary singing girl, it is actually a big coincidence that she wanted to strive to be the best and tie up Gu Tingye and give birth to two children. To a certain extent, it was not that she really blinded Gu Tingye, but that Gu Tingye took a gamble on himself. From Mannia's perspective, he projected his deep affection and righteousness, his self-pity, narcissism and struggle against his father's family's dissatisfaction, his macho almighty complacency, and his youthful lust. So Mannia always thought that she had good means, but in fact she was lucky. She found a marginalized person, Gu Tingye, who was difficult to control and unwilling to control, and was arrogant. Therefore, she could succeed in the early stage, but Qi Heng, Chang Feng, Liang Han, and even Gu Tingwei would not be able to succeed. Because at this time, Gu Tingye was actually in the "blank relationship" stage, and no one was caring and caring to him, so Mannia took advantage of it. But coincidentally, Mannia thought she had "selected" and "got" Gu Tingye, but in fact it was Gu Tingye who "accepted" and "painted" Zhu Mannia half-heartedly. His first marriage, which was disturbed by Zhu Manniang, showed that Zhu Manniang's life was just a side dish to Gu Tingye when he "loved" her "deepest", a "side job" in his life map, a recreational object, and did not participate in major decisions. In Zhu Maniang's eyes, she has control over this man, who "disobeys his father" for her, but is actually a rebellious and self-pitying son who "gives up on himself and calls for love." She felt that having two children bound Gu Tingye's future interests. In fact, the child is only bound to Zhu Manniang, but in Gu Tingye's eyes, the child has no rights. "What I give you is yours." In the eyes of the eldest father, rights are always "I give them only if I want to." Therefore, the person who is really bound to the brain of The Sweet Wife the most is Zhu Manniang, "He fights the world for me" ≠ "I am his whole world" ≈ "I am his tool to fight the world." "I gave him a child" ≠ "He and I share a community of interests" ≈ "He bound my interests." The reason why Mannia is neither good nor bad is that she is a little self-motivated, but she cannot be self-motivated. She has some means to make herself attractive but has no ability to bind a man so that he dare not leave. She uses an object mentality to pursue the interests of the subject, which can only lead to more and more collapse. Always calculating the upper limit of what a man can give her, but not thinking about the lower limit in case it fails, making a desperate move, leaving no way out for herself, but giving the choice to others. She is awakened, but not awakened enough. Having a breath of improvement but retaining the illusion of being given will ultimately lead to failure. Mo Lan calculated Liang Han's success by always making Liang Han "have to" and unable to afford the lower limit, and then gave a better upper limit, calculating defeat before calculating victory. Even if Hu Zhongwen counts Gu Tingye, it doesn't matter if Gu Tingye doesn't fall for it, he still owes him a favor. It's ridiculous for Zhu Manniang to have sex herself, and then expect Gu Tingye to take pity on her and follow her. If she wants to join the government now, she must abandon this concept. If she doesn't, she might as well take her children and remarry, then make a fortune from Gu Tingye, and then use Gu Tingye's political assets to raise the children. After raising the children, you can see whether Gu Tingye recognizes it or not. Even if he doesn't, he will have to use it. If it does, she will be an old lord. If not, Gu Tingye's political opponents will force Gu Tingye to cage their mother and son.
Since we know that the eldest son of a concubine is the source of chaos in the family, why can't we control the lower body? Was this child created out of thin air by Mannia?
The story that Grandma Chang told Minglan was a standard narrative of "a good man being plotted by a bad woman". Gu Tingye had good intentions to save people, but Mannia was deliberately setting up a trap; Gu Tingye wanted to send her away, but Mannia wanted to stay after death. Gu Tingye is passive, innocent, and deceived, while Mannia is active, cunning, and cunning. This narrative makes Gu Tingye change from "beginning with chaos and eventually giving up" to "being unkind to others", allowing Minglan to sympathize with her husband and despise Mannian with peace of mind. Grandma Chang's words were actually very shameless, but her "shamelessness" was precisely the value of her existence. She is Gu Tingye's "mouth substitute", specializing in saying things for him that he cannot say, is inconvenient to say, or says at a low price. In Grandma Chang's story, Gu Tingye had no fault. The relationship between him and Mannia was a combination of "full-bloodedness" and Mannia's "flattery". All the responsibility lies with Mannia. Gu Tingye is a passive, innocent and deceived "prey". When Minglan heard what Grandma Chang said, she thought, "Lin Sushuang has also used this trick before." She may not really believe that Mannian and Lin Sushuang are the same person, but she needs to believe it. She needs to believe that Mannia is a "poisonous woman" so that she can stand beside Gu Tingye with peace of mind and enjoy her status as the mistress of the Hou Mansion with confidence. She cooperated with Grandma Chang's narrative, not because she was stupid, but because it was beneficial to her.
Gu Tingye was really selfish and cold-blooded. After all, he was his own son, so he had to force him to have no place for him. Although Mrs. Tai was flattering and killing him, she was still supporting him and treated him better than her own son. In front of Ting Wei, she did not even want to call her mother and only called Mrs. Tai. What did the third brother think? Now he wants to use the little affection he had when he was a child to use his third brother to fight against his mother. No wonder they cut off their affection for him. But Mrs. Tai will not give up Mannia and her son easily, because Gu Tingye is basically surrounded on all sides now. Using Mannia and her son will not dirty Mrs. Tai's hands but can also cause a fatal blow to Gu. Therefore, Gu Tingwei might secretly steal Mannia and her son from the Hou Mansion and hand them over to Gu Tingye, but it should be difficult for Mrs. Etai to control the Hou Mansion. After all, Gu Tingwei is not a shrewd person. If he could really steal it out, I'm afraid Gu Tingye would have murderous intentions. After all, he was related by blood and it was impossible to get rid of him. He couldn't let him go and continue to harm himself. If he was imprisoned again, he might be released as before. If only he had been kinder to the mother and son, he would not have ended up in today's situation.
The father-in-law, Marquis Yongchang, is seriously ill and is about to die, and her husband Liang Han is about to face Ding Youshou system, which means that the actual influence of the Liang family in the court will temporarily shrink. At this time, if Mo Lan adopts the posture of "holding the secrets of hundreds of officials, and whoever messes with me will be unlucky", it will be equivalent to confirming the speculation that "the Liang family does have dirty information", which will not only arouse the fear of the Imperial City Department and even higher levels, but also make those who already dislike the Liang family take the opportunity to add insult to injury. She must let everyone see a "wronged, innocent, and slandered" daughter-in-law of the Liang family in order to divert public opinion away from the Liang family. Murong's questioning in public seemed menacing, but in fact he committed three major taboos. The first is to use unconfirmed rumors as weapons, the second is to choose a public occasion like the birthday banquet of the Duke of Qi to launch the attack, and the third is to kill the rumors right from the start, leaving no room for change. This kind of reckless style of play is actually very cheap according to the rules of Bianjing's ladies' circle - truly skillful people will not quarrel with each other in public, but will make arrangements in private and use their strength to fight. Mo Lan saw through her stern and shy nature, so there was no need to confront her head-on. He only needed to show weakness, cry out for injustice, and throw the problem back to Murong. Although Murong had the Imperial City Secretary and the Murong family behind her, her behavior exposed her upper limit. A truly difficult opponent would not do such a thing at a birthday banquet that would harm others and not benefit oneself. What Mo Lan really wants to guard against are those people who hide in the dark and remain silent, not this reckless woman who openly fights with open fire.
Explain the issue of the memorial. The original manuscript only said "I need" but not "I am worthy". No matter how many decorative words there are in the manuscript, the core logic cannot be concealed: city defense is inseparable from Liang Han, so please let the official website open up. This is essentially a "request" - the Liang family is asking the court for a special case and an exemption. But why did the court give you this special case? Just because your family can't live without him? Which family in the world can live without those in power? Hu Zhongwen's later revision added the most critical point: "When the situation stabilizes in the future and there are more capable people in the court who can be entrusted with the responsibility of city defense, Liu Lang must leave his post to make up for his filial piety and show the love between father and son." This transaction turned "request" into "promise". The Liang family was not asking for special privileges from the court, but making a guarantee to the court: We are only temporarily borrowing it and will definitely return it in the future. In this way, the resistance among officials and families is much reduced. Mo Lan felt "almost breathless" precisely because the manuscript was only a request without a promise, only a request without a way out. Marquis Yongchang has been a military attaché all his life, and being able to write phrases such as "a lifelong soldier", "heavy duty of city defense" and "fear of betraying the emperor's favor" is already the limit of his ability. The language system he is accustomed to is military orders, battle reports, and victory reports, the kind of straight-forward military logic of rewards for meritorious service and punishment for delinquency. But this memorial is not facing the battlefield, but the court. The rules of the game in the court are completely different from those on the battlefield: On the battlefield, if you are strong you will win, if you are weak you will lose, it is clear at a glance. In court, it doesn't matter what you say. What matters is what the officials saw, thought, and felt. Yongchang Hou wrote "We can't do without Liu Lang", the subtext of this sentence is actually "We the Liang family can't do without this errand", which is exactly what the officials least want to hear. What an official wants is what you can do for him, not what he can do for you. The genius of Hu Zhongwen lies in his understanding of this distinction. He knew that memorials were not used to state facts, but to manage the feelings of officials. This is the difference between civilian officials and military attachés. Military attaches think about "what do I want", while civilian officials think about "what do the officials fear". Marquis Yongchang couldn't write this kind of sentence, not because he was stupid, but because his lifelong thinking mode didn't work like this. Mo Lan could feel the "lack of breath", which was her political intuition. She couldn't write that breath because she still needed years of polishing and accumulation of experience. Hu Zhongwen was able to make up for that tone because he had been in the officialdom for decades and had seen too many similar excerpts. He knew which words could impress the officials, which words would offend the officials, and which words could make the officials nod with confidence. This is the value of an old official. They are not necessarily smarter than young people, but they have seen more cases, stepped on more pitfalls, and shouldered more blame. Their experience was gained through repeated failures and cannot be replaced by any talent. Mo Lan knows what she lacks and who can fill it. This is a kind of ability of "knowing what you don't know"
Sister Rong is just a pendant that shows the heroine's virtue.
"I would rather let the world down than let the world down me." This is Gu Er's portrayal. If there is any dissatisfaction, he will remember it for a long time. The so-called "loyal words are harsh to the ears" is just a trick of you looking down on me 🐶, do you think I am still the child who is at your mercy 🐶; Sir, times have changed, my time has come 🐶, it is time for you to see how powerful I am 🐶; However, there seems to be something wrong with this script 💔, am I not the chosen one 🥺
Wow... Gu Heming and Grandma Chang have their own set of thinking logic and behavioral rules. Whatever is beneficial will amplify their own strengths and abilities, and whatever is detrimental to them is the problem of others. A sophisticated egoist, although he is quite indifferent to Xiao Qin. But Xiao Qin didn't blame Gu, right? She just let it go. If a half-year-old child is not raised well, he will resent himself for the rest of his life. There are too many in reality (I just saw a woman complaining about her stepmother, saying that she beat her if she didn't do her homework, and beat her for breaking the TV. She still hates her stepmother when she is 37 years old). So Xiao Qin's laissez-faire way was hated by Gu Ji. If she had used beating and scolding, Gu's mentality would probably destroy Xiao Qin's family. Therefore, no matter how Xiao Qin treats Gu, he will not get good results. Look at Mannia again, a poor woman with low cognition and ability. Is the prototype of the plot between brother and sister Gu based on Liu E? It's just that Gu is not Song Zhenzong, and she is not Liu E. But Mannia used her own children to think that the mother is more valuable than the child. Unfortunately, there are examples of such a turnaround in ancient times. It requires the right time, place and people. If Mo Lan gives Mannia some advice, it might be a different story. The female images in "Do You Know" are really colorful, but the old woman has terrible thoughts, and the ancients were not so feudal. Moreover, the men here are the initiators of many evil deeds, yet none of them have been punished, and they don't even feel guilty. I hate Changbai the most in this book, his sanctimoniousness really sticks to his face.
Liang Mo's power defense battle this time should be blocked again by Gu Tingye's temperament. This is the best and most ruthless and thorough opportunity. If it is used properly, Liang Mo will never be able to stand up again and will step on these two people forever! Moreover, he can be regarded as a leader among the military generals. It is perfect to refute the Liang family's reasons for wanting to win over the love of the military generals. Regarding filial piety, ancestral system, and "the important task of city defense, they dare not leave temporarily". There are many people lining up to take over. If Gu Tingye was smarter, he should recommend someone who is from a different faction from himself but is equally loyal to the official family. Although the emperor is now estranged from Gu and seems to rely more on Liang, in fact, no one has yet reached the point of being trusted by the emperor. Who should be used? The emperor may not be wary of Liang Liu, who has the "Acts of Hundred Officials", and he cannot ignore Gu because his foundation is not stable. Therefore, if Gu Tingye really reflects and grows from his previous lessons, he can completely turn the situation around with just one move this time. It has to be said that Gu Tingye and Minglan really have some luck in their bodies. Whether it is their own luck or the luck of their opponents, they are all in control, but it is a pity that they may not be able to grasp it. If the subsequent plot can develop like this, it should be quite exciting. If Gu really takes action, Mo Lan will definitely fight with their family until death, because he will directly trample them to the ground! As Yu Qingyuli and the Sheng family are helping Mo Lan, Minglan will definitely not be able to fool him this time like the last time Hu Zhongwen was reinstated. She must express her position. But obviously she doesn't want her fourth sister to live a better life than her, so she will definitely work hard and not contribute. Then her selfishness, sinisterness, ungratefulness, etc. Will no longer be concealed. After seeing this clearly, Old Mrs. Sheng will probably give up completely and never interfere in the backyard affairs again. Hualan and Rulan will also alienate Minglan. And after all this happened, Mrs. Ningyuan Hou, Minglan, who was isolated and trapped in the courtyard, could not escape her heart no matter how hard she wanted to. It turned out that I was really a hypocritical person, and then she began to regret why she wanted to fulfill the fourth sister who would never look down on her!
