Seeing that Xu Su couldn't hide his shock, and had a faint expression of sadness and disheartenment, Xu Hui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

No matter how much he looks down on the many members of the family who can only talk and do nothing, Xu Hui has to admit that after so many years of tutoring and marriage, the other party's skin and demeanor are completely able to bluff the girl who is just beginning to fall in love, and she is worthy of the other party's moth to put out the fire. Just like in her previous life, the reason why she liked Xie Lun was not originally based on the four conditions of family background, appearance, knowledge and demeanor?

This time, the debate between Buddhism and Taoism in Yingchuan County in order to compete for Taoism is a rare event in a century, and it must be a gathering of famous people from all over the world, and thousands of families will pay attention, and all the good side of the family will be revealed in front of Xu Su, which will definitely make her fascinated.

Xu Hui, who once married into the Xie family of Chen County, knows the pain of marrying best, not to mention, after Xie Lun's incident, Xu Hui can be regarded as having a thorough understanding of the coldness of the family, and she doesn't want her sister to get involved in the mess of the family. Not to mention that the Shangdang Xu family is now determined to dominate the world, as the eldest daughter of the third generation of the Xu family, how careful does Xu Su's marriage need to be...... In short, give Xu Su a reminder in advance, so that she doesn't just see the good side of the family, yes!

In fact, just as Xu Hui thought, Xu Su had never really seen the pomp and circumstance of the family that had been inherited for three hundred years, nor had he seen many children of the family who would shine in the future, so he first saw the displaced people and the deserted land everywhere. I heard my sister tell her that the reason why those lands were abandoned was because the taxes were too heavy, and the people had to sell their sons and daughters to pay it after a year of hard work. Xu Su's original expectations and yearning for the family were completely shattered by the cruel reality and became disgusted in his heart. She looked at Xu Hui and hesitated for a long time before saying, "We'...... Can't we take them in? ”

"Sister-" Xu Hui held Xu Su's hand, and a look of pain appeared on his face, "We are on the party Xu, and we are just on the party Xu." ”

The lord of a county needs to be too much to scruple about, if he is the lord of the world, even if there are still constraints, but there is too much trouble, isn't it?

Xu Su didn't know the determination of her grandfather and sister, and only heard the powerlessness in her sister's words, so she lowered her head to hide her expression. But the rippling tears betrayed her sadness and wet the cushion under her. Mrs. Zhong had red eyes, gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and held Xu Su in her arms, but she didn't say anything, because she and Xu Hui both knew why Xu Su was crying.

As a top celebrity in Daqi, there is an endless stream of people who want to visit Xu Ze, but those who can receive him are undoubtedly the best of the best. It is not uncommon for someone to bring their children and grandchildren by the way, and let them play with the children of the Xu family.

Shangdang Xu's income, in addition to collecting taxes on the ground, is to rely on the output of his own estate. As everyone knows, Shangdang County has never exploited the land in a clever name, let alone wantonly encroached on the fields. In this way, the Xu family's financial resources are already weaker than the other families, not to mention that most of this money is used to maintain the consumption of the tribe, and even less can be used on their own families. Coupled with Xu Ze's extravagant and wasteful style of the most evil family, he set a series of rules, what is not allowed to eat alone is not allowed to exceed eight dishes and one soup, the dishes should not be too complicated, not to mention the waste of time, and it is easy to develop a habit of ingratiating favor with the master with silent exquisite extravagance; Clothes should not be woven of feathers, because they are too expensive, and so on. Even the singers and dancers raised by the Xu family are also used to entertain guests, and they are usually not allowed to summon them indiscriminately, let alone hold them at will.

He took the lead in complying, and the younger generations naturally had to follow suit, and it didn't matter if he didn't have contact with outsiders, as soon as he chatted with the children from the same family with the surname Bei, he would find out. The other party said a lot of food, but they had never heard it; They could only look at the many clothes they were wearing, but they knew that their grandfather would never agree to do the same; The other party can spend a lot of money, collect antiques and jade, and be elegant, but they can't.

Xu Hui always remembered that the third sister, who was obsessed with flowers, loved a Wei purple peony, and thought about it day and night, almost stunned. For the family, a mere 50,000 yuan is not a big number at all, and the children of the family with a lot of pomp and circumstance are too common for 10,000 yuan for a meal, and there is nowhere to put it. Xu Ze didn't give an inch, and didn't allow the third son to think about his granddaughter's mood and spend money in such a useless place. The third aunt Lin cherished her daughter, took out 50,000 yuan from the dowry, and was about to send someone to buy it, but was stopped by Xu Ze and didn't say anything, and reprimanded her for the first time, so ashamed that she didn't dare to see anyone for nearly a month.

Regarding Xu Ze's various actions, even Xu Hui in his previous life, he secretly complained more than once, feeling that his grandfather was too strict - obviously among the little sisters around, he was the highest-born, but his food and clothing were not as good as them, and he was suspected of "never seeing the world". Others don't say it, but secretly laughing at it is certain, but now...... After seeing the suffering of the people, Xu Hui had been ashamed of his ignorance many times, and now it was Xu Su's turn.

Mrs. Zhong gently patted her daughter's back and said softly, "Good boy, cry!" However, crying can only be done this time. From now on, you must not regenerate the desire to compare, nor can you show your dissatisfaction with the family culture in front of outsiders, understand? ”

"I ...... I don......'t know," Xu Su said with a sob, "I really don't know...... If I knew this, I wouldn't blame my grandfather in my heart, and I wouldn't ......."

She didn't know that the huge wealth of the family was built on the blood and tears of the people; She didn't understand how many white bones had piled up under the scenery and pomp of the family; She didn't know how Xu Ze, who had crossed into this world, had been so ambitious to change the entire society. But in the end, all Xu Ze could do was to ensure the stability of the people under his rule, and that while he was alive, his descendants and loyal subordinates would not do those things that hurt nature and reason, nothing more.

This woman, who is destined to be peerless in the future, snuggled up in her mother's arms, wailed and cried regardless of the image, and shed all the tears of her life.

"Sister......" Xu Hui took a few steps forward, holding Xu Su's hand, although there was a trace of tears in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Don't cry, on the contrary, we should be proud." ”

Yes, we should be proud, because we do not carry the blood and tears of innocent people; Every penny we spend on food and clothing is justified. It is precisely because of their trust in Xu Ze that these displaced people will gather together and hope to take refuge in the Xu clan of the Shangdang. Even if we have to give up on them with a clear conscience for political reasons, at least we are different!

Xu Su wiped away her tears, like her sister, and tried to smile: "You're right, we should be proud." ”

After crying to her heart's content, Xu Su's eyes and thoughts finally broke through the deep courtyard that imprisoned her, and like her sister Xu Hui, she clearly saw this devastated world. It was at this moment that her innocent and fantasy-filled teenage years were gone.
