Chapter 260. Chen Zhirong's Certificate of Voting (Part 1).
…
"What if I say that I fell in love with you at first sight, Mr. Zhao, but I don't know if Mr. Zhao believes it or not?"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Chen Zhirong looked like he was seriously considering it at first, his eyebrows furrowed in a seductive way, then he smiled charmingly, looked at Zhao Junchen with a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be full of affection, and asked.
"If that's true, then I'm really flattered." Zhao Junchen said lightly.
However, even though he said this, Zhao Junchen's expression was filled with the word "disbelief".
"Oh? Mr. Zhao looks like you don't believe the little girl's words?" Chen Zhirong smiled softly again and said: "Mr. Zhao, you are not only the number one scholar, you are handsome, you are also a second-rank official at a young age. It can be said that
There is a bright future. Although there are many young talents in this dynasty, none of them can compare with you. For someone like you, how can it be impossible for me to fall in love with you at first sight? Master Zhao has some feelings for himself.
I’m not confident anymore.”
Zhao Junchen glanced at Chen Zhirong and said slowly: "This has nothing to do with self-confidence, but I don't think love at first sight will happen to Miss Chen. With your vision and shrewdness, Miss Chen, let alone love at first sight."
I'm afraid no matter how outstanding a young talent is, it will be difficult for Miss Chen to be truly attracted to him, right?"
"Oh? In Master Zhao's eyes, am I such a cold and heartless woman?" Chen Zhirong looked sad.
After Zhao Junchen was silent for a moment, he suddenly changed the topic and said: "At yesterday's palace banquet, Miss Cui and Miss Su and I agreed on a time to meet. Although it was the eighth hour, but with the temperament of those two girls, I am afraid that
I will rush to Youfeng Pavilion in advance for the appointment. It is almost midnight now, and before Miss Cui and Miss Su appear, if you really want to dispel my concerns, there is not much time left."
As he spoke, Zhao Junchen's tone became colder.
Chen Zhirong seemed to regard "teasing" Zhao Junchen as an interesting game. But at this time, Zhao Junchen was not in the mood to accept Chen Zhirong's teasing again and again.
Chen Zhirong sighed sadly and said: "Master Zhao has too much prejudice against me. All women in this world are actually the same. Maybe they have a higher vision. Or maybe their temperament is different, but if you meet
When a man is truly worthy of being entrusted with his life, his heart will inevitably be moved. Some women seem to be indifferent, just because they have not met a man who will really make her heart beat."
"Oh?" Zhao Junchen still couldn't deny it: "In Miss Chen's opinion, is it possible that a corrupt official like me, who has a notorious reputation and is destined to die a bad death in the future, is worthy of being entrusted with him for the rest of his life?"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, a trace of disdain flashed across Chen Zhirong's beautiful face, and she said: "For me, even if you are infamous, it is better than being unknown. Even if you are accused by thousands of people, it is better than being unknown.
Doing nothing, even if you don't die well, is better than a mediocre life! What's more, Mr. Zhao, although you claim to be a corrupt official, you are at least a capable corrupt official. And throughout the ages, all the so-called famous ministers and good prime ministers whose names have been passed down through the ages have also
Which one is truly clean? It’s just that they are good at disguising, and later generations used history books to cover it up. Since they can do this, how come you can’t do it, Mr. Zhao?”
Although he already understood Chen Zhirong's character, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Chen Zhirong's unabashed speech.
And while speaking, Chen Zhirong's expression was so natural that it made Zhao Junchen secretly frightened.
In some respects, Chen Zhirong's mentality is even more extreme than Fang Ru's, but I don't know what kind of growth environment made a woman like Chen Zhirong.
Seeing the surprise on Zhao Junchen's expression, Chen Zhirong suddenly said: "Now that things have happened, in order to gain your trust, Mr. Zhao, I no longer have to hide anything. In fact, I am not the biological daughter of Chen You, Duke of Jing."
"Oh?" Chen Zhirong's words made Zhao Junchen stunned again. He was surprised by this fact, but also didn't understand why Chen Zhirong mentioned this suddenly.
"Although I call Chen You my father and was raised by Chen You's teachings, I understood from the beginning that to Chen You, I am not even an adopted daughter, just because I have some beauty and beauty. I am also somewhat shrewd and intelligent, so in Chen You's eyes, I am just a piece of goods that can be used for marriage, and a chess piece that can help the Chen family of Jing Kingdom seek benefits, nothing more." Chen Zhirong still looked matter-of-fact. Said: "But for me, being used by others is not a bad thing. This at least shows that I still have value and am not a useless waste! If this is the case, considering Chen You's upbringing and teaching, I will not I would like to do my best for the Chen family, Duke of Jing. However, Chen You has no tolerance for others. When the intelligence and methods I displayed began to exceed his imagination, he not only failed to realize my true ability, but also He was afraid and kept suppressing me..."
As if he was talking about an insignificant thing, Chen Zhirong continued: "However, although I don't mind being a commodity for exchange, I hope that my value can be more precious. Although I don't mind being a chess piece, , but also hopes that his chess piece can affect the chess game. Unfortunately, Chen You cannot do this. He does not have such courage. As for the seventh prince Zhu Hejian behind Chen You, he is a person who only believes in himself... So , the goods and chess pieces, I want to change the owner..."
As if saying that she wanted to change into a more beautiful dress, Chen Zhirong added lightly: "For a piece of goods, for a chess piece, isn't this a natural idea and choice?"
Zhao Junchen was silent for a moment, shook his head slowly, and said: "I don't understand this mentality and choice, because I never regard myself as a piece of goods or a chess piece. What's more..."
Having said this, Zhao Junchen took a deep look at Chen Zhirong and said: "No matter chess pieces or goods, you should not have your own ideas. It is dangerous to have goods and chess pieces with your own ideas. If you want to change the owner's goods and chess pieces, It is even more dangerous than the enemy of life and death!"
In response to Zhao Junchen's hint, Chen Zhirong's expression remained unchanged, and he just said: "In this world, since ancient times, hypocritical words have been widely circulated and deceived people's hearts. After repeated repetitions, they have become the truth in the eyes of the world, making the world aware of them. Turn a blind eye to the absurdity of...
For me, I was bullied since childhood. Just because I looked prettier than others, I was adopted as a daughter by Chen You. From then on, I had no worries about food and clothing. Just because I was smarter than others, I gradually gained my own status. What I have today has nothing to do with anything else, just because my use value is higher. Once I lose my use value one day, I will lose everything. Although this kind of thinking is a bit of a villain, it is the world in the eyes of a villain. , is often the most real...
In my opinion, everyone in this world gains status and benefits because of their own use value. Everyone is using others, and everyone is being used by others. Therefore, people in this world are essentially the same as goods and chess pieces.
There is no difference. So, what’s wrong with me treating myself as a chess piece and a commodity? What’s wrong with the goods wanting to increase their value, and the chess pieces wanting to be taken seriously? Since they’re just using each other, and the chess pieces and the goods want to change their owners, what’s wrong?
Why not?
This is not only the case for me, but also for you, Mr. Zhao. Isn’t the fundamental reason for your current status, Mr. Zhao, precisely because you, Mr. Zhao, are more valuable in His Majesty’s eyes? It is also because not only Mr. Zhao is like this, but everyone in the world is like this.
This is true for all, even the emperor who dominates the world is no exception. The emperor regards his ministers as chess pieces and goods, and determines the value based on the closeness and ability of the ministers. And the ministers do not regard the emperor as chess pieces and goods.
Goods? And with your wisdom, Mr. Zhao, how can you not understand this?"
"If a chess player wants to change the player's chess piece, which chess player would dare to use it with confidence? If someone wants to change the owner of the goods, who would dare to buy it with confidence? Since you can't rest assured, then this chess piece, this piece of goods,
Even if it is delivered to you, why do you need to use it?" Zhao Junchen asked after a moment of silence.
