Xiao Yu and Xiao Han were dumbfounded as they watched the two nursing staff with bruises and swollen faces standing in front of them in every possible way.

No need to ask who did it.

No strong man who cut paths dared to be so arrogant more than ten miles away from Bianliang City.

The skills of the Xiao family's guards were much better than those of ordinary guards, but even so, they were beaten easily. After the beating, they tied the people up and waited until dark before releasing them. Finally, each person was beaten

I paid for the medicine.

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly.

However, Mrs. Xiao Han was furious. The elegant demeanor of the lady in charge of everyone in the past was gone. Her roar echoed throughout the backyard, and everyone was silent.

But what can be done?

The bird has escaped from its cage and flown away.

With the attitude shown by the two sons, it would be in vain to send more people there. There is a 90% chance that they would be stopped inexplicably without seeing the two people in charge, beaten up, and then rushed home.

.

It's impossible for the two of them to go alone.

That would be a real joke.

"That's all, it's up to the mother to let them go! You don't have to worry too much. The third sister is following her two brothers, who can bully her? Besides, isn't the sister-in-law here? You're out of line.

She will not allow it." Xiao Yu comforted Xiao Han.

Unexpectedly, one sentence made Xiao Han feel sad!

In the past, I seemed to feel that I could control everything at home, but this time, it was like piercing a soap bubble with a needle, and the colorful illusion burst instantly.

"I hurt them all in vain. None of them are worry-free. The boss always knows how to play with guns and sticks. He is very brave and fights fiercely. The scars on his body are one after another. The second brother seems to be obedient, deep down.

The idea was very good. What happened this time was definitely caused by the second child. The boss didn’t have the idea yet. And the mistress, woo hoo, it’s going to be cold today. She didn’t bring anything with her, so she just ran away like this.

What should I do if she gets cold after going out? She has never lived outside, so what should she do if her stomach is broken?"

Wiping away her tears, Xiao Hanshi began to cry.

Xiao Yu waved his hand with some embarrassment, signaling for the servants in the room to leave, and then said: "Look what you said, following the boss and the second child out, can the third child really freeze? As for food, the boss

The second one is an out-and-out gourmet. With him here, are you still worried that the third child won’t be able to eat well? I’m just afraid that when she comes back next spring, that girl will still gain a few pounds.”

"Official, what if Mrs. Luo comes and asks me?" Xiao Han suddenly became nervous. "Since the two families got engaged, Mrs. Luo has been coming to her house often, and she has often invited me to take Yi'er to her home.

Now Yi'er has run away..."

"What ran away?" Xiao Yu waved his hand: "She was ordered by her parents to travel with her brother to gain experience. Descendants of the Xiao family, even daughters, cannot hide in the boudoir without leaving the door.

!”

"That's all I can say, I'm afraid Mrs. Luo won't like it!" Xiao Han felt disappointed.

"Never mind her! She'd better take care of her son first. Otherwise, she'll get a Jinshi exam as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will really delay my third son's life! Humph, Luo Yuting didn't know that the sky is high and the sky is thick. He made such a vow. Now,

But it spread like wildfire in Bianliang City, and when everyone saw Luo Song, they all praised him as "a tiger father has no dog sons," and old man Luo even blushed and was embarrassed when he saw me!"

"It's not the fault of your second son!" Xiao Han said angrily.

"The benefit goes to his Luo family, but it's my third sister who suffers!" Xiao Yu said angrily: "And this also shows that Luo Yuting is really stupid!"

Xiao Han was speechless for a moment.

"Madam, all these disgusting people in the house have gone out one by one. Now we are the only two left in the house. This reminds me of when we first got married more than 20 years ago.

Ah! Hahaha, not bad, not bad, we can also relive the past!"

Xiao Hanshi blushed immediately, glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "How can you, an old married couple, say such shameless words!"

Xiao Yu laughed, held his wife's hand, and said sincerely: "These years, I have suffered a lot for you. Fortunately, the suffering has finally come to an end, and your children are very happy. In the future, you should worry less."

! Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!"

Xiao Hanshi sighed: "How can I have the heart to worry about everything! One thing after another, one thing after another, if I don't close my eyes, I will continue to worry about it."

Xiao Hanshi's worry was not unreasonable. The eldest lady of the Luo family really came to kill her on the third day, but the reason why she came to Xiao Hanshi made Xiao Hanshi dumbfounded.

Luo Gang and Luo Yuting heard that Xiao Cheng had followed the eldest son of his family, and Xiao Yi was also traveling with him. He actually got on his horse overnight and fled, leaving only a letter behind, saying that he was going to travel to the border with the eldest son of the Xiao family and experience

Come on, do something practical.

This change left both the Xiaoluo family stunned and helpless.

Naturally, Xiao Ding and Xiao Cheng were unaware of the fact that Luo Yuting was chasing the little girl at full speed. After instigating the hammer to beat up the people sent by the family to chase the little girl, things became clear behind them.

After the two elders in the family figured out the form, they stopped doing useless work.

They traveled very quickly and soon arrived at Gyeonggi West Road, where Xiao Ding also checked into the White Horse Inn again.

Returning this time is not like the last time, where you can rush on the road and set up camp wherever it gets dark. This time there are many women in the team, but you need to plan a good itinerary and count every stop.

Choose a good time and distance so that you can stay in a post house or inn.

The two brothers were standing on a steep cliff at the moment, watching the rushing water of the Yellow River swirling away under their feet. After crossing the river tomorrow, they would have entered Hebei Road.

"Second brother, do you think that when Zhu Wen killed dozens of Tang officials here, would he have thought that he would eventually become the gravedigger of the Tang Empire?" Xiao Ding pointed to the endless stream of people under his feet with emotion.

river, road.

"Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was indeed the most chaotic period!" Xiao Cheng bent down, picked up a fist-sized stone, and threw the stone into the river with force. He watched the stone fall into the water with a thud, but it was stirred up.

After a few splashes of water, there was no sound again: "Brother, during that period of time, everyone also understood that the emperor is really not a chosen one, but an emperor. He who has strong soldiers and horses can do it.

"

Xiao Ding trembled slightly, glanced around, and saw that there were only two brothers, and then he felt relieved: "You have read too much, you should know that there are some things that you should not say even if you understand them in your heart."

Xiao Cheng laughed: "Aren't you talking to the elder brother? I think that when the Taizu of this dynasty, Chen Qiaoyi, wore the yellow robe, wasn't it just because of the strong soldiers and horses! But the Taizu was a sensible person and knew that he was not a son of heaven, so he

He shouted that I and the scholar-bureaucrats would rule the world together, which created the current situation of the Song Dynasty!"

"Perhaps this is the great ancestor's wisdom!"

"Of course he is wise." Xiao Cheng nodded and said: "This sentence has established the situation that the Zhao family has been as stable as Mount Tai since the founding of the country. And the officials of the Song Dynasty in all dynasties have indeed practiced this sentence, which made the scholar-bureaucrats

They are happy, and an emperor who is willing to delegate power to them will naturally be liked and supported by everyone."

Xiao Ding nodded silently.

"It is feasible to rule the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats, but it has become a worry for officials in the Song Dynasty that the emperor has strong soldiers and horses. Therefore, there is a cup of wine to release the military power, so there is a rule of war with civility. Gradually, the civil servants are overriding them.

Above the military ministers, the method of checks and balances was lost. As a result, even though the Song Dynasty was rich in the world and had abundant finances, its soldiers and horses became increasingly useless." Xiao Cheng shook his head and said: "There is an imbalance between civil and military affairs, and it is difficult to reconcile yin and yang.

Even if there are mountains of copper coins in the officials' Fengchun treasury and the ropes on which the coins are tied are rotten, there will still be no chance to conquer the Liao Kingdom and recapture Youyan."

"I heard from my father that the financial situation is actually not that optimistic!" Xiao Ding shook his head and said: "There are too many officials, too many soldiers, and countless inexplicable expenses. Now Dongfu plans to resign from the official position every year.

We have money from our internal treasury and spend it! And we have always borrowed money but never paid it back. I used to write out IOUs, but now I don’t even write out IOUs.”

Xiao Cheng laughed: "It's a good thing to dig out the money from the official treasury. It's not good at all to let the money rot in the treasury. The Song Dynasty was really rich, but the court would become more and more

The harder it is, this is also a true fact. Because those who are rich are more of the scholar-bureaucrat class! If you want to change this situation, you must carry out drastic reforms. But reforms have always been a revolution, no

How can there be a good result if you can't kill someone with a knife? The princes of the East and West mansions can naturally see this, so no one is willing to move, no one is willing to move."

"When this pustule gets bigger and bigger and has to be broken, I'm afraid it will cause a catastrophe!" Xiao Ding sighed.

"As long as it doesn't happen during my tenure, I can hang it up high." Xiao Chengchi said with a smile: "At that time, you can even righteously accuse the current incumbent of being incompetent and harming the country."

Xiao Ding turned to look at Xiao Cheng and said, "Second brother, the more you read, the more you read, but I feel that you are becoming more and more different from ordinary scholars. Other scholars will not say these words."

"Brother, as long as they are not academics, they actually understand these principles. It's just that everyone covers their eyes with their hands and pretends not to see. I will tell the eldest brother, if it's someone else, of course I would too.

He who sings praises and sings praises loudly."

Xiao Ding suddenly changed his expression and whispered: "If all the scholars in the world are like this, how can a country be a country?"

"Take it one step at a time!" Xiao Cheng said: "You and I, brothers, are just petty officials now. Even if we dare to speak, people will think we are crazy. Only when we reach a certain height can we have the power to speak.

, it will only make sense to talk about it at that time! I won’t talk about it now, just so that my upward steps will not be delayed by these accidents."

Xiao Ding's expression suddenly brightened, "This is the righteous Xiao Chongwen I know!"

"Brother thinks too highly of me." Xiao Cheng shook his head and said: "I have never been the kind of person who can sacrifice my family for everyone. I always think about saving my own family and then seeing if I can help the world.
