It is precisely because of this that he relaxed his discipline of the children, and in the end - five children, the eldest has no one in his eyes; The second child was weak and went in one winter; The third sister was lost; The fourth and fifth children were separated from them in the previous snowstorm.

When a person is scattered, a family is scattered.

The old man's eyes were cloudy, and tears fell down the yellow ash on his face, he was in his forties this year, but he seemed to be in his sixties.

Lu'er is a child's heart, and she cried when she listened to it, "Then that...... What the about the kids? ”

"Let's go......" The old man looked at the sky and seemed to say to himself, "It's all gone......

Xia Yao was also shocked when she heard it, she had an idea in her heart, but she still needed to discuss it with Xuanyuan Luo. So what should this old man do now?

One of the guards seemed to see her hesitation, and took the initiative to say, "There is still an empty house in the small family, if this old man doesn't mind, come to my house for two days first, and wait for the stability to come down and then take a look." ”

"No, no, no......" the old man waved his hand in a panic, "No trouble, no trouble......"

When Xia Yao heard it, she felt very good. She took the silver out of her purse and handed it to the guard, saying, "Then it will trouble you, and his expenses will come from me." ”

After that, Xia Yao persuaded them for a while, and finally persuaded the old man to the guard's house.

After Xia Yao returned home, she stayed in the courtyard to write and paint, Huang Ming and Lu'er were originally watching strangely on the side, but then they couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker, without it - just because Xia Yao's words were too ugly.

A piece of paper, if you can't write a few words, it will be full, and in the end, Xia Yao is impetuous, and with a shake of her hand, she threw the ink all over the table, "If you don't write, you won't write...... What? What about the golden finger that is good? She couldn't help complaining, when people crossed over, it was not a big killing, both civil and military, but when it came to her, it became a literary and martial arts, and she couldn't write a 'plan'.

"Miss, you say." Lu'er hurriedly came over to help, "It's good for me to write." ”

"No, you don't." Xia Yao waved his sleeves, "I'll just talk to His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness directly." ”

"Oh!" Lu'er nodded obediently.

Xia Yao waited until dusk with a sad mood, and it was not until dinner was served that Xuanyuan Luo hurried over.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yao asked, "Why did you come back so late today?" ”

Xuanyuan Luo took a sip of the soup, a little unate, "It's nothing." He didn't want Xia Yao to worry.

Recently, there have been more and more people with fever outside, and the most terrifying thing is that there is no cure. Some doctors have suspected that this is another serious disease, and it is contagious.

"You're out today?" Xuanyuan Luo asked in vain.

"Hmm." Xia Yao nodded, she hesitated: "I saw some situations outside, and I have some opinions that I want to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter? You said? Xuanyuan Luo nodded, his eyes were heavy blue-gray, and his face was also very pale, and he seemed to be weaker than before.

Xia Yao couldn't bear to see it, she gave him a chopstick dish and said, "Let's talk about it after eating." ”

"Hmm." Xuanyuan Luo put the food in his mouth, swallowed it, and said, "Don't go out again recently, it's a little unsafe outside." ”

"What's wrong?" Xia Yao was startled and put down the dishes and chopsticks, "What's going on outside?" Is it dangerous for you to go out? ”

"It's not a big deal." Xuanyuan Luo said vaguely: "I just heard that there will be heavy snow again recently, your body is just right, or don't go out, what if you catch the wind cold again?" ”

"Really?" Xia Yao was skeptical.

After dinner, Xia Yao pulled Xuanyuan Luo aside and said his opinion succinctly.

It turned out that after Xia Yao saw the old man today, she couldn't help but think of the nursing home in the future, she roughly proposed a prototype, Xuanyuan Luo nodded after hearing it and said: "It sounds good, but it is very difficult to implement." ”

Xia Yao couldn't help but be depressed, too, who would do a loss-making deal!

"But...... "Xuanyuan Luo accentuated his tone, "it's not that there is no way, it's just ...... It's just a little bit of a change. ”

"Really?" Xia Yao's eyes lit up, "How to change?" ”

"You'll find out later." Xuanyuan Luo's smile was mysterious, he touched Xia Yao's head and said, "Now, we have to do the things in front of us first." ”

The method proposed by Xia Yao can undoubtedly quickly win people's hearts, although unconditionally accepting the old man after the age of forty-five is too much of a burden for the imperial court, but what if he has to take out a small amount of money every year before the age of forty-five like paying taxes?

In order to have peace of mind, even if you can't use it in the future, you won't be reluctant to give up a few small dollars.

There are people in and out, even if they can't make money, but for those in power, what is more important is to leave a good reputation in the annals of history, who doesn't want to be a wise man through the ages?

Xia Yao obediently stayed in the mansion, and in the next few days, not only did there not snow heavily, but the temperature became higher and higher.

On the old man's side, Xia Yao didn't care, she asked Huang Ming, who was not weak in kung fu to go over often. Huang Ming had a good impression of this old man, and for a while, he couldn't help but count how bad the old man's boss was in front of Xia Yao......

Xia Yao saw her childish appearance for the first time, and listened to it with interest for a long time.

Huang Ming said as she spoke, and went around to another place, and she said unhappily: "I heard from people outside that the second batch of grain, grass and funds are about to arrive, and it is the crown prince and the fourth highness who take the lead." ”

"So what?" Xia Yao asked.

"Miss." Huang Ming stomped his feet and said with a bitter face: "They must be ready to rob the Fifth Highness of the credit." ”

She said indignantly: "I didn't see anyone when it was dangerous before, but now that the situation is stable, I ran over, it's really bad, they ......"

"Alright." Xia Yao pressed her palm against Huang Ming's mouth, "Be careful." ”

Huang Ming was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and quickly regained his composure, "Miss forgive the sin, the slave has overstepped." ”

"Hmm." Xia Yao smiled, "Whoever should have this credit belongs to whom." "If the Fourth Highness or the prince came alone, Xia Yao would have to worry about it, but the two of them walked together, and they didn't need to be told by others, they would fight in their nests.

In the end, if you kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, no one can please anyone.

Xia Yao's prediction was good, the prince and Xuanyuan Ming fought all the way, and no one could overpower anyone.
