Liu Juren was met by An Ning when they were about to leave the disaster area.

At that time, Liu Juren and his mother and wife were fleeing, but because his wife was beautiful, he was targeted, and the family almost died.

An Ning saw that Liu Juren's family was harmonious, he did not dislike his wife and caused trouble, but sacrificed his life to protect him, and felt that this person was not bad, so he rescued him.

After saving the family, Xiao Yuan talked with Liu Juren for a while, knowing that he was a lifter, the family was originally quite wealthy, and he had always been kind to others, but when the disaster came, because the family had food in stock, he was targeted by many scoundrels in the village.

Knowing these things, Xiao Yuan funded Liu Juren and told Liu Juren where they were going.

Later, when he came to Nanyi, Xiao Yuan and Liu Juren have always been in contact, and this time Liu Juren was able to come to the county as an official, and it was Xiao Yuan who took the door to give him activities.

When Xun Zhixian came to the county, even if he was close to Xiao Yuan, it was inconvenient to do many things.

But with Liu Zhixian, Xiao Yuan will be able to let go of some of his hands and feet.

Liu Zhixian took office, Xiao Yuan paid a special visit, and then An Ning took a few girls from the family to the county government to meet Mrs. Liu.

The two families got into such a close relationship.

Before the year, Xiao Yuan was very happy every day.

When An Ning asked him at night, he learned that Xiao Yuan had pulled Liu Zhixian onto the boat.

As for what method Xiao Yuan used, An Ning didn't ask.

In addition to coming to the county to change the county, there was another thing, that is, the Marquis of Guangning's mansion was really raided, just like the Pingguo Mansion at the beginning, and the whole family was exiled.

And the place where the whole family of the Marquis of Guangning was exiled was Nanyi.

Xiao Yuan and An Ning knew about this, and Xiao Yuan immediately called Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling to their house to have a drink.

The weather was very cold when Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling came.

At the end of the year, this day is getting colder and colder day by day, and there was a light snow yesterday, and many people who were frozen did not even dare to go out.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling both wore cotton clothes and thick cloaks to enter the door.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Xiao Song standing in the courtyard and greeting the two of them with a smile: "I've seen the fourth uncle and the sixth uncle." ”

Xiao Jin smiled: "Brother Song is strong again, what about your father?"

Xiao Song led the way for the two: "My father is in the study, let me greet the two uncles first, saying that I will wait for him in the main hall." ”

As they spoke, the three of them entered the main hall.

A large round table was set up in the main hall, on which were placed some dried fruits and some fruits from the South.

There are several braziers in this room, and it makes people feel very warm as soon as they enter the house.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling untied their cloaks, and Xiao Bai just entered the door, so he hurriedly picked it up and hung it aside.

At this time, Xiao Ying and Xiao Yuan came in together, and Xiao Yuan pointed to the chair next to the table: "Sit down." ”

Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling sat down.

As soon as they sat down, Xiao Hui came in with wine and food.

Xiao Ling asked Xiao Hui: "Is this dish made by the third sister-in-law?"

Xiao Hui smiled: "Some are made by my mother, and some are made by Yun'er." ”

She said as she poured drinks for a few people.

Xiao Yuan asked Xiao Song, Xiao Bai, and Xiao Ying to sit down: "The three of you also sit down, listen carefully." ”

The three also sat down.

Xiao Hui stood aside with a smile and poured tea and wine.

After drinking a few glasses of wine and eating almost the food, Xiao Yuancai said, "Do you know about the Yuan family's exile of Nanyi?"

Xiao Jin put down his chopsticks: "I heard about it, now his family is afraid that he will leave early, but it is not easy to walk on this cold road." ”

Xiao Ling frowned: "The disaster hasn't passed yet, there are not one out of ten people in many places where the locust plague is troubled, and now there are a lot of homeless people on the road, like this kind of weather, those homeless people in the north can't eat or wear warm clothes, and they don't even have a place to sleep, I'm afraid that the road will be more chaotic, the Yuan family is from a literati background, not as good as our family, just afraid of ......"

Xiao Ling was quite worried.

Although the Guangning Hou Mansion and the Pingguo Mansion belong to different civil and military groups, the relationship between the two families is okay, Xiao Ling and the two sons of the Guangning Hou family have a good relationship, and they often go out to eat and drink together earlier, but now they know that his family has been exiled, firstly, there is a sense of sympathy for the same fate, and secondly, they are also worried about whether their friends can come smoothly.

Xiao Yuan knocked on the table and muttered for a moment: "I want you to pick it up." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Jin's mouth opened wide in surprise.

Xiao Yuan said: "I still have to train Xiangyong now, and I still have a lot of official business to do, so it's hard to leave, so I can only let you take Brother Song and Brother Ying to greet you." ”

"Third brother, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Ling stood up in shock.

Xiao Yuan smiled: "Sit." ”

Xiao Ling hurriedly sat down again, looked at Xiao Yuan with wide eyes, and looked him up and down: "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Yuan said with a smile: "Let me ask you, we came from north to south, and we met countless displaced people on the way, have the court appeased, I don't know how many people have died on the side of the road due to the epidemic, has the court ever taken care of it?"

Xiao Ling shook his head: "No." ”

Xiao Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was illuminated by the skylight, and seemed to be thinking about something: "Your third sister-in-law said, natural disasters are inevitable in the future, if it continues like this, the people will have no food and clothing, and rebellion is inevitable. ”

Xiao Jin nodded when she heard this: "If it is really as the third sister-in-law said, the world will be really chaotic in the future." ”

"If it's really messed up, then let's take the opportunity to rise up and compete for supremacy, I want to be the one who really has the last laugh. ”

This is the first time that Xiao Yuan has expressed his ambition in front of his two younger brothers.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling were shocked.

Not to mention the two of them, even Xiao Ying and Xiao Song, who were sitting and listening, were so shocked that they almost dropped their chopsticks.

Xiao Hui, who was standing at the table holding the pot, had a pale complexion, and didn't seem to be surprised at all.

Xiao Yuan glanced at Xiao Hui: "What does Hui'er think?"

Xiao Hui put down the wine jug and blessed her body slightly: "I don't think about anything, it's just that I am my father's daughter, and I have to be loved and cared for by my father and mother, so I can't repay it, I can only be filial and obedient, what my father says, what my father wants to fight for, and my daughter is desperate to help each other." ”

This girl is even stronger than those boys.

Xiao Yuan smiled when he heard this: "You and Yin'er come to the study in the evening, I have to add some homework to the two of you." ”

Xiao Jin glanced at Xiao Hui, as if he thought of something, but he didn't say it.
