In the seventh year of Han Guanghe, this year is the year of Jiazi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the spring of February, Tang Zhou, a disciple of Taiping Dao, reported to the imperial court in Luoyang, the master of the Taiping Dao, saying that his teachings had different aspirations, and the uprising had been completed, and Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was shocked, and immediately issued an edict to arrest the Taiping Daoists of the Jingshi and various prefectures and counties, and Ma Yuanyi, the generous leader of the Taiping Dao in Luoyang, was arrested and died by the punishment of the car split. In the case of the traitor's leakage, Zhang Jiao notified the thirty-six parties under the starry night, and all the rebels were wrapped in yellow scarves, which were called "Yellow Turban Army" (another name is "Moth Thief"), and Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong". His younger brother Zhang Bao is called "General Digong", and Zhang Liang is called "General Rengong". The Yellow Turban tribes attacked the counties and burned the official mansions, and the magistrates of the Han Dynasty fled one after another.

Between the ten months, the four corners of the world responded, and the capital and the sun shook. In March, Emperor Ling took Yin He Jin in the south as the general, led the left and right Yulin, five battalions of soldiers to be stationed in Luoyang Duting, and increased the ordnance to defend the Beijing Division, and set up one lieutenant each in the eight passes around Luoyang, such as Yougu, Taigu, Guangcheng, Yique, Tin Yuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin, and led the troops to defend the Beijing Division.

In the same month, Emperor Ling issued an edict to amnesty the people of the world, and changed the year name to "the first year of Zhongping".

All of a sudden, war broke out in the world, and wolf smoke was billowing out......

Xuanwu County, Youzhou - In Jinlinxuan, Xu Fuzheng's study, Xu Qian was discussing with Xiao Lao and Steward Chen, and Xiao Lao said: "Master, if there is a big chaos today, our Xu family's shops and businesses in the Central Plains and Hebei have suffered huge losses, and many stores have been looted by thieves...... His face is very anxious, the local industry in Xuanwu County, Youzhou of the Xu family is very limited, and most of the shops are distributed in Hebei and the Central Plains, and now they have been plundered by the Yellow Turban thieves, and the Xu family's business can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

Steward Chen said, "Even if the remaining shops in Xuanwu County add up...... It's also a big loss, alas...... Master, if I could listen to the persuasion of the fourth girl last year, I wouldn't be ......."

Xu Qian's brows were tightly twisted together: "Rong'er's words, I believe it a little, because Taiping Dao has been buying people's hearts over the years, I also guessed that there might be a change, but I didn't expect them to be so reversed, and the momentum is so rapid, I'm afraid that the imperial court will ......."

As early as last year, Dong Xiaoyou, Biluo and others knew by a coincidence that this year would be the year of Jiazi, and Dong Xiaoyou suddenly thought: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand; The year is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious", she immediately proposed to Master Xu: take back all the shops and family properties in the Central Plains, and beware of Taiping Road from launching an uprising; However, Xu Qian didn't fully believe her words, he just thought that she was frightened by the increasing number of victims outside the city, so he didn't take more active measures, and now he ......

"Let Rong'er come to the study, I'm going to talk to her."

Xu Qian gave an order, and soon, wearing a pale yellow dress, long hair hanging down, a woman with a hairpin and a hosta walked into the study, she is Dong Xiaoyou, who has been in the young body of "Xu Rong" for two years, this year she has passed fifteen, and is about to reach the age of Ji, although the appearance is still a little immature, but there is already a charm of an adult woman, after two years of growth, she is more moving, and even called "the first beauty in Youzhou" by the children of the Shi clan who have seen her.

"Rong'er has seen her father." After she entered the study, she generously made a gesture towards Xu Qian, and now her voice is warm and beautiful, but compared to before, it has become more mature and cold......

The past two years have been a long time for Dong Xiaoyou, so long that it seems that she has almost forgotten that she is from the 21st century, she has forgotten her life and memories in the 21st century, but she has slowly integrated into this era, every day, in addition to reciting poems, is to play the kite to distract her heart, or to find Biluo to learn some self-defense skills, but unfortunately her foundation is too thin, only to learn some reluctant self-defense skills, but for most adult men, it still seems weak.

The sister-in-law will embarrass her from time to time, but it is not too much, she has gradually become accustomed to the difficulties of the sister-in-law, and occasionally has a battle with her; In the past two years, Xu Yi and Xu Ye have also married wives one after another; Xu Ban and her are also getting colder and colder, since she was heartbroken by Xu Ban's words, she no longer calls him "Brother Yu", but changed his name to "Fourth Brother", Xu Ban was also angry because of this, but they both know that the relationship between them is no longer possible......

Two years is actually not a long time, but for Dong Xiaoyou, it is too long, but time cannot completely smooth out her thoughts as a "modern person", especially when she knew that the Yellow Turban Uprising was about to break out, she took the initiative to ask Master Xu Qian to take back all the shops in the Central Plains, Xu Qian did not do so, but still listened to her words: part of the grain hoarded by Xufu was distributed to the homeless people inside and outside Liaoyang City, and therefore, when a small-scale uprising and riot broke out in Xuanwu County, Xufu had a mouth, was not attacked by the rebel army, which made people up and down the mansion have a kind of admiration for Xu Rong. However, only she knows: all this is only for self-preservation.

Xu Qian looked at his daughter with a complicated expression, this daughter now gives him more and more complicated feelings, he loves Xue'er deeply, even if he lets go of his hatred and forgives the person who killed Xue'er, etc., but he still loves this woman who has been dead for fifteen years, therefore, he naturally loves this daughter deeply, not to mention, today's daughter, appearance and age, is no different from Xue'er back then...... However, he felt that this daughter had been hiding many things from him until now, and that all the behavior of this daughter since they had known each other could not connect her with an innocent fifteen-year-old girl. And now, she has reminded to beware of the Taiping Dao people, in fact, it is not only her, the whole world is a little wary, but who would have thought that she guessed so accurately, when most people in the world thought that the Taiping Dao would not dare to cause trouble, she alone insisted that the Taiping Dao would launch an uprising in the year of Jiazi, and the result was ...... Everything is exactly as she said!

"I wonder what the father is talking about when he comes to his daughter?" Dong Xiaoyou knelt in front of Xu Qian, with a calm face.

"Rong'er, your prophecy has come true, the Taiping Dao is reversed, and the whole world is following the Taiping Dao! The rioters who harassed Liaoyang City a few days ago were also one of them. Xu Qian's eyes stared at his daughter, as if he wanted to observe her expression: "All our family's industries in the Central Plains and Hebei are finished. ”

Dong Xiaoyou heard this, and was secretly shocked: Sure enough! With a worried look on her face, she said, "Father, I'm afraid...... The Taiping Dao Uprising is just an introduction, in this world, I am afraid that it will become more and more chaotic, and the country of the Han family is only afraid that it will be ......"

Xu Qian nodded: "Rong'er is right, but now...... Our Xu family has now lost nearly eighty percent of its industry, and it is already a dilapidated family business, and it is difficult to protect itself. ”

Dong Xiaoyou felt uncomfortable for a while: Can you blame your father for not listening to him? Of course not, many people of insight in the world did not expect that Taiping Dao would cause trouble, but who would have expected that the Taiping Dao uprising would be so rapid? Now that the Xu family's business is ruined, what can she do for this family?

"Rong'er...... Can you tell your father, why are you so sure that there will be an incident in Taiping Dao this year? Xu Qian asked unhurriedly, but Dong Xiaoyou was in trouble, what to say? Not beat around the bush? That's impossible, this kind of fantastical thing, I'm afraid that it will be treated as a "monster" by the ancients.

"The daughter thought ...... Taiping Road bought the victims everywhere, and it has developed to such a scale in just over a decade...... Naturally, it's ......" She was a little incoherent, after all, she couldn't answer such a question, she was just afraid that the Xu family would be affected.

"Rong'er, what my father asked is, why do you know that it must have happened this year?" Xu Qian still asked with a calm face. But this kind of question added huge pressure to Dong Xiaoyou's heart, she didn't know how to answer, let alone answer truthfully. Looking at her panicked expression, Xu Qian's face sank: Until now, this daughter still has reservations about herself, alas...... She is indeed not the Cher who has nothing to hide from herself.

Xu Qian shook his head with some disappointment, and looked at Xu Rong with a kind look: "Rong'er, since you don't really want to answer this question, my father won't ask anymore...... It's just that if our Xu Mansion needs you in the future, you must do your best. ”

Dong Xiaoyou listened and breathed a sigh of relief, she hadn't been so nervous in front of her father for a long time, and her palms were full of cold sweat. It's just that what does my father's sentence mean by dedicating himself to the Xu Mansion? What can I do for such a family? By the way, I studied statistics, discrete math, and public relations in school...... But these advanced knowledge doesn't seem to be of much help to this era, besides, when it comes to inheriting the family business and saving the Xu family, there are still a few brothers in front of you, right? She was a little confused, what else did her father's words mean?

Xu Qian looked at her with a smile: "Okay, Rong'er." There's nothing else, you go down. ”

"Oh...... Then, the daughter retired. Dong Xiaoyou still had a suspicious face, but she had no choice but to bow to her father again, and then got up and exited the study: The world is really in chaos, what should she Dong Xiaoyou do in the future? Will Xu Mansion be implicated in the war in the future? These...... It's all things that are not recorded in history books and textbooks, and it seems that these creatures and people are destined to be just small beings who can't even be counted as ants in the torrent of history.

This night, in the study, Xu Qian asked Mrs. Wang, Xiao Lao, Steward Chen and others to arrive, and Xu Qian asked Mrs. Wang coldly: "What about it...... What do you think? ”

The gray hair on Mrs. Wang's head has become more and more, but she is still afraid of Master Xu: "Back to the master, the people of the Wang family have agreed, and they are very much looking forward to it, saying that they will give a dowry gift in the next few days." ”

Xu Qian said lightly: "Although I'm sorry for Rong'er for this matter, there is no other way for the sake of the Xu Mansion, and now our Xu family ...... If you want to maintain the little family property left, it is impossible for the Wang family, the first family not to be attached to Xuansu County. Alas, just... It's too aggrieved Rong'er. His face was backed by candlelight, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

Xiao Lao and Steward Chen both lowered their heads sadly: "This Wang family is simply bullying!" If it is based on the previous industry of our Xu Mansion, we still don't look down on the Wang family at all! They only saw the huge losses in our house...... Master, you can't do this to the four girls! ”

Mrs. Wang looked at the two painful elders, and she also looked very embarrassed: "Otherwise, let's forget it, after all, this kind of thing is too unfair to Rong'er." ”

Xu Qian shook his head: "I have already decided on this matter, even if Rong'er is unwilling at that time, I have my own way to persuade her." ”

"But, sir!" The faces of the two elders who were full of the vicissitudes of time had a look of pain and guilt: "Fourth girl, she ...... Fourth girl, she is your favorite ...... master."

"Say no more!" Xu Qian seemed to suppress the anger in his heart, and his language was already three points stern: "This is something I have decided!" Rong'er is not small, she should contribute to our Xu Mansion! ”

"Master!!" The two elders bent down and knelt on the ground again: "I can't help it, I really can't help it!" ”

"Alright, no more talk...... She, she is always just the daughter of me and Xue'er, and she always wants to contribute to my Xu Mansion...... Even if it's a sacrifice to be made. Xu Qian sighed helplessly, and Mrs. Wang's expression on the side also dimmed.

Xu Qian looked out the window, it was the direction of Meixiangyuan...... He raised his head, let out a long sigh, and closed his eyes with difficulty: "Xue'er will also understand, it's all for the Xu family, she will definitely understand me, yes, she will understand!" …… Even if you want Rong'er to go to the Wang family and only be a concubine for others!! ”
