In Xiao Man's opinion, his younger brother is just a concubine, and he never thinks that he will have a big future, so he lets him do some rent collection or goods delivery work in the house on weekdays, gives him some money every month, and then lets their father and son live in an old mansion that no one has lived in for a long time, which is enough for their father and son to survive.

But after Xiao Wanyao came back, Xiao Ze's life changed slightly, because Xiao Wanyao could teach Xiao Shuxian to read and write when he was idle, so he could help him take care of the children by the way, so Xiao Ze would have more time to be busy with his own affairs.

Before Xiao Wanyao left, Xiao Ze also earned a lot of money, although most of it was used to repair the old house that was burned by fire, but the little money left also made his and his son's lives a lot easier.

Now that the saint invited their father and son to participate in the hunt, if Tang Siqi wanted to please Xiao Wanyao, then Bacheng would give Xiao Ze an official to do, if that was really the case, then Xiao Ze would become an official of the imperial court, and his identity would be different from that of the past.

So since the saint invited Xiao Ze yesterday, Xiao Man immediately ordered someone to make two sets of new clothes for Xiao Ze and Xiao Shuxian, both of which were made of fine fabrics, so that no matter whether the saint was optimistic about Xiao Ze or not, at least he would not see that Xiao Ze was too shabby, which could only show that Xiao Man was too stingy.

Fortunately, Xiao Ze is not a fool, knowing that he finally has a chance to get ahead now, but this is just an opportunity, and no matter what happens to him in the future, he wants to please his brother, so when he received the clothes the next morning, the first thing Xiao Ze did was to put on new clothes, and then take his son to kneel down to thank Xiao Man, and promise to always remember the kindness of his eldest brother and never forget the brotherhood.

Xiao Man was very satisfied with this, so he did not hesitate to take Xiao Ze and his son to the Qingshan paddock.

Xiao Man is the prime minister after all, if he has more of his own cronies, it will naturally be just right, the reason why he doesn't use Xiao Ze is completely for two purposes, one is to avoid suspicion, and the other is that he despises his concubine.

Now it was Tang Siqi who took the initiative to ask Xiao Ze to come, as long as Xiao Ze was obedient to his eldest brother, why didn't Xiao Man do it?

"Sister!!" Xiao Shuxian saw Xiao Wanyao from a distance, her eyes widened, and she grinned sweetly at Xiao Wanyao.

Xiao Wanyao didn't hesitate to smile at her, walked over and hugged Xiao Shuxian, and found that he was a lot taller and his body was a lot stronger, but he still looked thin, which made Xiao Wanyao feel a little distressed.

"Shuxian has grown taller and grown, why is he still so thin? Is it because your father is too stingy to give you meat? Xiao Wanyao said jokingly.

Xiao Shuxian looked serious and said in a childish tone: "Daddy works hard to make money every day, just to give Shuxian a full meal, how expensive the meat is!" The scholar doesn't eat it! Although he said this, his face still had a yearning for meat.

Xiao Wanyao looked at Xiao Ze standing there with an embarrassed face, and couldn't help but feel bitter, it's true that his uncle is a concubine, but he is actually very powerful, if his uncle used that money to do business instead of giving it to her aunt, then how much life would not be so hard now, thinking of this, Xiao Wanyao felt both grateful and guilty.

In this life, no matter what, I want my uncle and younger brother to live a comfortable and prosperous life without worrying about it.

Xiao Ze quickly came over to play a round: "The child doesn't speak lightly, our life is not as bitter as he said, there is still meat to eat, Wan Yao, you can rest assured." Xiao Ze saw Xiao Wanyao's expression of concern, so he comforted.

Xiao Wanyao reluctantly squeezed out a bitter smile and said, "There are a lot of things I want to say to my uncle, but I still have to see my father at this time, and there are still a few days to get along, so I will find a chance to tell my uncle." ”

"Well, okay, the master is in the tent at this moment, I'll take a look at it for you, and I'll call you if I wake up." Xiao Ze said to Xiao Wanyao.

Xiao Wanyao put down Xiao Shuxian, took his soft little hand, and stood at the door of the tent and waited patiently.

After a while, Xiao Ze came out, and said to Xiao Wanyao with a somewhat disappointed expression: "The master said that he was unwell at this time, but looking at his expression, he probably didn't want to see you, I only knew that yesterday the saint was in a hurry to call him into the palace, and he has been gloomy since he came back, and I don't know what's wrong with the specific situation, but I still don't seem to be very happy at this time." ”

Xiao Wanyao didn't know how to explain this matter to her uncle, but said: "Father may be a little worried, uncle don't worry, it will be fine in a few days, I originally wanted to tell my uncle some things in the future, but now it seems that this is a good time, if my uncle doesn't mind, just move to another place, let's talk while walking."

Xiao Ze nodded, then picked up Xiao Shuxian and walked to the east, saying as he walked: "I can come here this time, it should be your credit!?" ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled bitterly, but didn't say anything, only said: "I don't have much time to be alone with my uncle, I'll make a long story short, this time my uncle will show himself well in front of the saint, and he will definitely gain a lot, but don't steal the limelight from my father, you must respect him in everything you say and do, otherwise even if you get an official position, as long as your father shows you a face, you will not be able to do it." ”

Xiao Ze nodded: "I know this." ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled faintly: "What Wan Yao can do is to remind her on the side, there is one more important thing now, please remember it clearly, please be sure to follow Wan Yao's arrangement, Wan Yao will not harm her uncle." ”

Xiao Ze listened to Xiao Wanyao say so seriously, and his expression was also a lot stricter, and he said: "I trust you the most, if it weren't for saving our father and son, you wouldn't be hurt, and now you will naturally not treat our father and son badly, if there is any arrangement, just say, I will do it." ”

Xiao Wanyao replied: "No matter what official position the Holy Lord gives to the uncle, the uncle must accept it, the most unaccustomed thing to the Holy Lord is the false prevarication, this kind of behavior is not modesty, it will only make him feel unhappy, so the uncle must give him a feeling that you are competent...... When you take office, you will find the right time to release yourself, and the more remote the region, the better, there is no difficulty in this, and you don't need to be handled by the Holy Master......"

Xiao Ze was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Wanyao, does your arrangement have any deep meaning?" ”

Xiao Wanyao replied: "Officials need to be personally promoted by the saint when they enter Beijing, but the normal transfer and release of official positions do not need to be handled by the saint, Wanyao guesses that the saint will not give his uncle too much official position, and he will not pay attention to you for a few days, the reason why he let his uncle do this is to keep you and Shuxian away from this land of right and wrong......" Xiao Wanyao sighed slightly and said: "The words have come to this, Wanyao will no longer hide from her uncle, my father has always despised my uncle, I believe that my uncle is also clear about this, and the taste of sending people under the fence is not good, Leaving is mainly for the sake of Shuxian, and ......"

Xiao Ze saw that Xiao Wanyao was embarrassed, so he said: "If you have anything to say, Wanyao, just say it directly, I have nothing taboo." ”

Xiao Wanyao sighed and said: "Uncle doesn't know how to be an official, as long as he upsets his father one day, his father will put his uncle in an embarrassment just by moving his fingers, which is the reason why Wanyao let his uncle retreat and let himself go; Wan Yao saw her uncle's talent for business, but both her father and the saint could pay attention to it when she was close to the capital, which was actually extremely unfavorable to her uncle, whether he was in business or politics, as long as he was close to the capital, his uncle would be tied up and take care of Shuxian's safety......"

Xiao Ze lowered his head and thought for a moment before he said: "What do you mean is to let me enter the court as an official first, and then release it, and when the time is ripe, I will resign and retire, and then take Shuxian to do business in other places?" This method is good, but when your uncle is thousands of miles away, how can he protect you? ”

Xiao Wanyao's eyes were hot, but she didn't expect that her uncle was most worried about her at the moment, and even her father had never treated her like this......

This also made Xiao Wanyao even more determined that only when her uncle left the capital could she be safe, and she didn't have to worry about the tragedy of the previous life happening again, which was also the only way she could protect her family now.

Xiao Wanyao hugged Xiao Shuxian, looking at his cute little face, Xiao Wanyao said: "Uncle don't worry about me, just take care of Shuxian, although we can't meet thousands of miles apart, but at least everyone knows that each other is safe, it's the best, as for whether we will meet or not, it doesn't matter, we are family, we are the most important relatives who live in each other's hearts, maybe we will meet in the future?" When the time comes, I will see a scholar who is both healthy and happy. ”

Xiao Shuxian was ignorant, but when he heard that Xiao Wanyao wanted him to be healthy and happy, he immediately laughed, hugged Xiao Wanyao's neck and said, "Shuxian is healthy and happy now!" My sister should do the same. ”

Xiao Wanyao felt that this was the warmth that her relatives could bring, she had experienced too little in the previous life, and she could finally experience it in this life, but she was about to be separated again.

Xiao Ze finally made up his mind and said: "Although I, Xiao Ze, am your elder, I still want to say thank you to you, great kindness, Xiao Ze is unforgettable!" ”

"Uncle is polite, you and I are both family members, and everything should be done." After Xiao Wanyao finished speaking, it was difficult to hide her sadness.

At this time, she had arrived at the door of Xiao Wanyao's tent, Xiao Ze was inconvenient to enter, so she said goodbye here, Xiao Wanyao suddenly remembered something, so she opened her mouth and said it to Xiao Ze, and this sentence, she was glad many years later, she said it to Xiao Ze at that time, otherwise no one knows which direction things will develop.

"By the way, uncle, remember, since Wan Yao let her uncle leave here, she has no intention of letting you come back, so no matter what way it is, Wan Yao will not ask her uncle to come back, please don't forget it."

Xiao Wanyao said something when she approached the tent, Xiao Ze nodded, and then left with Xiao Shuxian. R1154
