223 Chapter 223
The first emperor Wen Yan Emperor for the state to help the people, issued a decree to value business, allowing merchants to enter the dynasty as officials, this move made the country of Yi in just a few decades treasury silver from scratch, but also bred unprecedented bribery in this dynasty, in the south of the Yangtze River, businessmen privately buying officials has become a common practice, Xiao Zhiyuan knows, this time to take the Beijing official knife, just the first period of his fight.
This move wins, Xiao Jiaxing, this move fails, the Xiao family's family still has the power to protect itself, and it will be his father and his branch that will lose at that time......
He had already talked to Xiao Yan about this matter, and both of them jointly decided that the Xiao family's family would not give him support this time, so as not to lose the Xiao family's family's consequences, and if it was successful, the Xiao family would have to clearly stand on his side and give support.
Therefore, this time, which is a matter of success or failure, he is basically unavailable except for his own people - using the people of the Di family is his next strategy.
Although the Di family has no ability, all he can do for him is to run errands, and even if it is something he wants to do, it is also a matter of success or failure, but because his sister believes in her husband, Xiao Zhiyuan chose to believe in him as a brother-in-law without hesitation.
He didn't believe in Di Yuxiang, but in his sister, just as Di Yuxiang said to him, his sister would do anything for him, even if she wouldn't agree with what he did, but as long as he did it, even if she gritted her teeth and shed tears, she would carefully follow him, help him clean up the things behind him, and then calculate the way back for them with worries comparable to unfounded worries.
He once thought about it in another country, when he saw his family again, he didn't know what they would become, people's hearts were fickle, if his parents and sisters were angry with him, they would no longer like him so much, he felt that this was understandable, but only when he saw his father and sister again, Xiao Zhiyuan, who had not believed in human nature for many years, found that just like his attachment to them, they had never forgotten him, and in their hearts, his position was higher than the position he put them in his heart.
Compared with his feelings for them, they are more important to him, so when his father heard that he was coming back, he listened to the words that he could no longer enter the court as an official, and his father resigned without saying a word and followed his people into Beijing, and no longer asked about officialdom, only waiting for him to come home every day at home, just to be able to say a few words to him, and sister, sister thought more, she was silent, and she had decided to clear their worries for them.
In this world, there has never been any unearned merit, the glory he gets today is all earned by his hard work in the past, and his future power and wealth will also have to be exchanged for today's achievements, which is why he is willing to take the knife handed to him by the emperor even if he knows that it is too dangerous to be a cool official, and he will be crushed if he makes a mistake.
Just like when he wanted to get ahead, let his family think that he was honored, he entered the enemy country alone, this time, Xiao Zhiyuan did not plan to retreat, even if this time the countrymen were more terrible than the enemy, and he already had scruples, but he couldn't retreat, they are now together as a family, and there is a Di family behind him, so for this time, don't say retreat, and he can only win and not lose.
When Di Yuxiang came to him and said that after the Lantern Festival, he was going to take his sister out for a while, Xiao Yuanzhi immediately nodded, "Take your father with you." ”
Di Yuxiang smiled and nodded, "Yes, Zhuzhu also said that her father is also going, just to help her see Changnan." ”
"Will she go?" Xiao Zhiyuan squinted at his brother-in-law who was smiling gently.
He had heard that his father Di Zeng was a real clean official, a poor and upright official, but the brother-in-law in front of him obviously did not have his father's upright style.
"She knows that staying in Kyori will only distract you." Di Yuxiang smiled.
"Huh." Xiao Zhiyuan chuckled at his sister's bosom friend, and said, "It's better to look at her more, and ask her if you see something wrong, she is still a little good, do you know?" ”
Di Yuxiang raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Zhiyuan didn't sell it, and said directly, "She never tells a word of lie to her relatives, even if she doesn't want to say it, she turns a hundred and eighty turns to say it, and you won't hear the half-word lie she says from her mouth, so when you feel that something is wrong, you ask her directly, do you think that if she turns with you, as long as you want to know the details, ask word by word, and in the end she can't blind you." ”
My sister is the strangest thing, she can say anything to outsiders without thinking, but as long as she is facing her parents and him, let her say an innocuous lie, she is not at ease.
Di Yuxiang has been married to his wife for so long, although he came to Beijing to see her external behavior, but only for such a period of time, he has known many of his wife's temperament, but it is the first time that he has been taught by his uncle like this, and he is still his pampered sister, Di Yuxiang can't help but laugh dumbly.
"Don't take her lightly......" Xiao Zhiyuan didn't expect to talk to his brother-in-law like this, he laughed, but the words in his mouth were still very serious, "We make our own opinions, she can guess half a point while secretly watching, she makes her own opinions, we can't see it, we can't guess it, if something happens to her at that time, it won't be as easy as you and me talking now." ”
The smile on Di Yuxiang's face disappeared, and he nodded, "I know, don't worry, big brother." ”
"Keep an eye on her." Xiao Zhiyuan snorted.
It's not that he doesn't believe in his sister's prudence, it's just that no matter how smart she is, no matter how careful she is, no matter how careful she is, there are times when she is negligent, so even if she thinks about some things well, it will inevitably come to pass.
**
Old Taijun Xiao was locked up in the concert hall, under the nose of Mrs. Xiao Lao's wife.
Xiao Yuzhu vaguely knew what ugly things were hidden in the old lady, and she was also worried that if this matter was revealed, if the truth was detrimental to her father and brother, if the main family knew about it, would it damage her father's brother's face? But after thinking about it, his brother's future was all fought by him at the expense of his life, and it had nothing to do with the main family, but the main family, stained him with a little more light, so he was not afraid that the main family would lose the face of his father and brother.
Xiao Yuzhu couldn't understand that the truth in this world will always be on the stronger side in the end, which is also the reason why she knew that her brother was doing dangerous things, and after she guessed some situations, she didn't persuade a word, or even say a word of worry.
Take it as an example, if the elder brother has no power, how can the main family take action to lock up the old lady for them?
And everything has a chance to turn around, in order not to be bullied, my brother can only become stronger, no one will absolutely help him, he can only rely on himself to fight for the game, Xiao Yuzhu knows that every word she says is worried about him to increase the burden, she is worried that he is too late, and she is no longer willing to burden him, so what she did was not to say a word, see the opportunity, and immediately pinch the old lady, the bane of the disaster.
After the old lady's matter was temporarily resolved, although Xiao Yuzhu said that she was a little relieved, but it was not completely easy, she knew that everyone had their own way of survival, and the old lady was not a vegetarian after being in charge of the tribe in Huainan for so many years, so as long as she didn't die and buried in the ground, she still couldn't be taken lightly.
After the people were locked up, Xiao Yuzhu realized that she had not thought about all the things before, during this time, the old lady could never die, her grandmother died, although the elder brother as the eldest grandson did not have to worry about Ding Ding, but did not investigate the matter of supporting the coffin to return to the hometown, the filial piety period of March alone could not escape, and the submission of the examination institute was in this period, the brother in charge could not waste time on filial piety, but the people outside wanted to hope that she died during this time......
After thinking about it, it was best to lock her up at this time, so that's what the main family did.
Xiao Yuzhu also thought about things thoroughly after that, and she was also shocked into a cold sweat, after she married into the Di family, she didn't need to move her head for some things in the family, she could see the surroundings clearly by instinct alone, and she was used to not using her brain much, since she entered Beijing, even if she used her brain more, she had to deal with the old lady and sister who came to Beijing, and this was still something she could handle, but since she saw the people of the Xiao family's family, she saw them It was a little girl who said that there was no way out, After being able to say sweetly in her mouth, she was shocked to realize that there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, she is self-righteous and smart, and in the eyes of some people, I am afraid that it is just a little smart.
Therefore, Xiao Yuzhu, who had thought about things a little deeper, had already frightened herself, in order not to cause trouble to her brother, she also wanted to go out and watch the changes for a while, and also calm down to look at the situation, so that she could decide how to deal with it in the future.
But before leaving Beijing, because of the arrival of the Di family, Xiao Yuzhu is still very busy every day, the winter in Kyoto is colder than in the south, and the robes she wears are thicker than those in the south.
Although these things are all done by poor people, Xiao Yuzhu needs to ask about the details of everything, so compared to her husband who runs out every day, she is also busy from opening up in the morning until it gets dark at night, and she is not much more busy than him.
In the days when the Di family was about to arrive in Beijing, the Di family on the Jinghuai Canal sent a reliable person to send a letter to the Di Mansion, saying that they had seen someone from the Xiao family on another boat in the fleet a few days ago, and they had asked the people of the Yu Xinyue family in the fleet to inquire, it was the people of the Xiao family, they didn't know why, they didn't show their names, they didn't go out of the hatch, and they didn't go down to land when the boat stopped at the dock for a short break, and they hid in the boat all the way without making a sound, and the Di family felt that the Xiao family's sneaky behavior was unreasonable. So after confirming that they were members of the Xiao family, they hurriedly sent someone to send an urgent letter to him first.
As soon as Di Yuxiang opened the letter and read it, he didn't even bother with the Confucian robe outside, so he didn't even bother to ask his wife to send it to him to wear, closed the letter in his palm and hurriedly walked out of the door and shouted to Di Ding, "Lead the horse, go, go to the uncle." ”
He was close to speaking loudly, Xiao Yuzhu, who was playing with Changnan in the yard, had never seen him so gaffe in the daytime, his eyes couldn't help but widen slightly, and before she could speak, he had already followed behind Di Ding, who ran out of the door and went to lead the horse by the door.
In a few moments, the sound of a horsewhip was heard outside the door, and then the horses roared and the hooves sounded rapidly, and in a short time they disappeared into the alley......
Xiao Yuzhu didn't come back to his senses, Chang Nan, who was sitting on the small bench, first heard his father's loud shouts, and then saw the mother who had just fed him with a bowl and ignored him and only looked at the door. 166 Reading Network
