HCB Chapter 403: Tan Family Mother and Daughter (5)
Chapter 403: Tan Family Mother and Daughter (5)
Shen Yu is now more and more satisfied with this fictitious "Linyue Kingdom". He originally thought that "Five emperors ruled in separate cities" was just a false concept. After all, looking through the history books, which emperor did not have the ambition to unify the world?
But the Lu Dynasty of Linyue Kingdom, which had already passed down to the sixth generation, seemed to subvert her conventional imagination of the ancient monarchy system.
Is it a soil and water problem? Or is it restricted by the rules of the world in this book? The five cities have a nearly peaceful understanding and are determined to protect their own five acres and three points of land... Here, power is no longer a synonym for greed, but a symbol of protection and responsibility.
For nearly three months, she made up for the "Imperial Chronicles" of Zhuocheng over the past few hundred years, including the changes in Zhuocheng, the disasters, wars, changes it had experienced, and even the correspondence with the royal nobles of several other cities.
The amazing thing is that apart from the harassment from the Northern Rong every winter due to food shortages, the intentional or unintentional boycotts from several other cities, and the regular tribute and tax payments to Luo City, Zhuo City really could not be said to have experienced any major crisis.
This branch of Lu Yingxing's family has completely controlled the military and political power of Zhuocheng for hundreds of years.
This made Shen Yu, a modern person, feel an inexplicable yearning and emotion. In other words, as long as he was in Zhuocheng, Lu Yingxing was the boss, and she? She was the boss of the boss! !
Before, she was afraid that bringing out a product ahead of its time would attract the covetousness and annexation of other cities. After all, in the book, after Lu Yingxing died, his fiefdom was divided up. But now, she knew through the attitude of Prince De and the Emperor towards Zhuo City that they could occupy it, but in fact, compared to this, they would rather keep Prince Zhuo and his family to help them guard the country... But other cities don't want Zhuo City to be too rich. After all, with Zhuo City as the foundation, the territory under their rule is not the worst! ?
These strange ideas of the previous generations of rulers are clearly recorded. I can only say that I don’t understand them, but I respect them…
With this premise, it is not difficult to understand why the Yun family would try every means to encroach on Youcheng and attempt to extend their hands to Zhuocheng. After all, the Lu Dynasty is so Buddhist that it would not allow the Yun family to compete?
But Shen Yu noticed that since the battle twelve years ago when the old King Zhuo and King Beirong were killed, Beirong had never harassed Zhuocheng again.
Logically speaking, with the Emperor dead in battle and his eight-year-old heir taken away, wouldn't this be the best time to capture Zhuo City? Even if the King of Beirong died, didn't he have a son? No generals or anything?
You know, the reason why the Beirong sent troops every time was because the living environment in the snow-capped mountains was harsh and they had no food. Could it be that after their king died, the people would suddenly be able to eat?
Following this clue, Shen Yu actually found some clues.
At this time, the gate of the Tan Mansion was closed and there was chaos inside. The maids and servants gathered together nervously and waited for orders, fearing that the lady would be unhappy and take them down!
People from the front yard, the back yard, and even the kitchen came out, each one of them standing straight but anxious.
Shen Yu looked at Madam Tan, who was in full force in the courtyard. The concubine was arrested, the problematic servants were tied up, boxes of financial affairs and letters were constantly being moved out, and even Tan Fuyao's box of clothes was spread out in front of everyone. If you didn't know, you would think she was bringing people to raid her house...
However, it was Tan Fuyao, who was crying all the time, who caught Shen Yu's attention.
She could still calmly pretend to shed tears silently. Isn't this equivalent to telling her that she is not afraid of the "evidence" that Mrs. Tan took out of her room!
Shen Yu couldn't help but shake her head and regret. Her acting skills were good and her ability to withstand pressure was also good. She lost because there was no performance psychology in ancient times! !
"Ugh……"
"Madam, what's wrong? Are you tired?" Lu Yingxing, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly asked.
Shen Yu shook her head and said something without any context, "Ah... the performance is too one-dimensional, the actor's self-cultivation needs to be improved, and crying scenes that are out of context are wrong even if they are sincere. It's a pity that she will miss out on the Best Actress Award at the ***!"
As Lu Yingxing heard his wife saying strange things again, a doting smile flashed in his eyes.
Tan Daixue, who insisted on staying close to Shen Yu, understood. Was he talking about Tan Fuyao? She was interested in anything that made her look bad.
So she took two steps closer, deliberately raised her voice by two decibels, and asked curiously, "Excuse me, Princess Zhuo, what is a crying scene that is out of the plot? Isn't this crying so real? Even my voice has become hoarse from crying!"
Tan Fuyao, who was sobbing softly, paused, and her expression froze for a moment. It was obvious that she had heard the conversation between the two. She suddenly covered her face and burst into tears, as if she had really suffered a great injustice. "Mother, how could you become like this? Wuuuuu... These are my underwear. I will never be able to see anyone again. Wuuuuu..."
It is undeniable that even after crying for so long, Miss Tan’s beautiful face has not been diminished in the slightest.
She was still wearing the same outfit she had worn when she left the palace. The luxurious dress matched with her deliberately plain makeup gave her an inexplicable sense of being broken after going through a calamity. Her pitiful accusations moved everyone present, and they couldn't help but want to feel wronged for her.
As a result, Mrs. Tan didn't even glance at her and continued to direct her servants to classify various documents and letters, which further highlighted Tan Fuyao's crying scene, which was out of place in this environment.
"Pfft!" This was really too embarrassing. Tan Daixue couldn't help but look at Shen Yu with sparkling eyes and asked again, "Princess, please help me understand what it means to deviate from the plot? Xue'er is really too curious."
The servants in the mansion all pricked up their ears, and so did they? !
Shen Yu was always a person who liked to watch the fun. She played with her big hand that refused to leave her place and shrugged nonchalantly, "It means exactly what it says! If you want to make the audience empathize with your crying scene, the plot must be reasonable. If the emotions don't match the plot, no matter how sincere your crying is, it's all in vain. For example, if the flowers planted by Xiao Ming next door died, what does it have to do with me no matter how miserable he cries? I don't feel involved!"
Glancing at the person whose crying was obviously weakening, Tan Daixue pointed out directly, "Wow! It seems so! But I may be too stupid and still don't understand. Princess, please take a look at my understanding. If a vicious woman who usually pretends to be a lady from a noble family keeps crying after her true identity is exposed, but I can't feel any sympathy for her, is it because her crying scene is out of line with the plot?"
Shen Yu raised her eyes slightly and replied with a smile, "You are quite modest, and that is true..."
