"Auntie, this matter must have been instructed by your grandmother, and it has nothing to do with Lord Zhong. www.biquge.info After returning to the bedroom, Xu Hui and Xu Su helped Mrs. Zhong to sit down slowly, and the maids withdrew, tacitly not listening to the secrets of the master's family, Xu Huicai gently persuaded, "Don't be too sad." ”

Mrs. Zhong shook her head lightly, didn't say yes, didn't say no, just asked Xu Hui: "I saw that you just gestured with Ah Gong, Hui'er, you say, how does Ah Gong plan to arrange the Qi family Wulangjun?" ”

"Aunt......

"Don't worry about my position, I'm interested in that family...... I was disappointed. ”

Xu Hui and Xu Su both knew that the Zhong family was a cold and ruthless place for Mrs. Zhong, but they also thought that Zhong Wan had given Mrs. Zhong warmth, and it was Xu Hui who persuaded each other like that. Only Mrs. Zhong knew in her heart that her grandmother didn't like her, which was true, but the eldest uncle was not like what he showed to the outside world, and he loved his motherless daughter like a treasure.

That's right, Zhong Wan once taught her to practice calligraphy, took her out on major occasions, and she picked out any good things first...... However, she knew in her heart that these kindnesses were not love, but just a gesture to save Zhong's reputation. But such a false care also made the eldest aunt and cousin jealous and their eyes red.

Although Mrs. Zhong has not been happy at all in the more than ten years in the Zhong family's mansion, she still misses her uncle's kindness and hopes for her family, but now she ...... Although it is said that people drink water and know their own warmth and coldness, but in the eyes of outsiders, she should be very desolate, right? The noble daughter of the Zhong family, who has been inherited for 700 years, married low to a new family, her husband died, and she had no son. No matter which one is occupied, it is an unfortunate thing for the women of the family in this era, not to mention that she has all of them? If you have a larger belly, you should be extremely enthusiastic about her at this time, showing your family's open-mindedness. Unexpectedly, the grandmother and the eldest aunt invited their cousin, Princess Guangde County, to humiliate her, the daughter of the Zhong family who had not returned home for more than 20 years. This kind of bearing is really disappointing, and Mrs. Zhong has no doubt that because of this matter, the Zhong family has dropped several notches in Xu Ze's heart.

That's right, anyone who knows a little bit about the secrets of the Zhong family knows what happened to the Zhong family twenty years ago, and the people of the Xu family will not be stupid enough to think that this deliberate demonstration came from Zhong Wan's instructions, at most it was the self-initiative of his wife and mother, but so what? This is not an era of foolishness, the concepts of loyalty and filial piety are blurred by the social morality that is contrary to freedom, and the young can sit on the same stage with the elderly by virtue of their talents, and even oppose the customer, take the initiative and talk eloquently. As long as you take the right word, or as long as your actions are beneficial to the family, they are allowed and accepted. In this case, Zhong Wan has not been able to settle such a mess as his mother, younger brother and younger brother's concubine for so many years, whether it is Xu Ze or Xu Hui, they are all incompetent.

Xu Ze knew that Zhong Wan was a person who was very affectionate, but he knew better that Zhong Wan also had a vicious side, and it was impossible for the good old man who would be a good man with a light meeting and a thin mud to become a minister when the power struggle between the surname Wu and the surname Qiao was at its most intense, and he retired in the center of the whirlpool. In fact, before today, Xu Ze had always thought that Mrs. Zhong's younger brother was a bait, as long as Xu Ze considered the future of the eldest son's widow and eldest granddaughter, he had to continue the alliance with the Zhong family, and even take the relationship further. For this reason, Xu Ze and Xu Hui also discussed several times what kind of price they needed to pay if they wanted the Zhong family to completely solve such a mess, whether to sacrifice their children to marry, or even take each other hostages or something.

The two of them discussed it in great detail, taking into account all aspects, and even prepared their rhetoric, but they didn't expect that Zhong Wan really couldn't control the inner house, and it was no wonder that Mrs. Zhong asked like this.

Mrs. Zhong knew in her heart that Xu Ze originally planned to continue to hand over Qi Fang to Zhong Wan to teach, so that not only could the alliance between the two families be strengthened, but also an explanation to Yanmen Taishou Qi Zhong. This young man Lang Jun, who is about the same age as Xu Heng, is an important part of Xu's plan, and he must not make any mistakes, but now he ......

"Grandfather hasn't decided on this matter yet." Xu Hui understood Xu Ze's style and knew that Xu Ze was most likely to expose the matter with a smile, and then slowly distanced himself from the Zhong family, but he didn't know whether to tell Mrs. Zhong or not, so he secretly glanced at his sister. Seeing this, Xu Su leaned his head on Mrs. Zhong's arms and comforted, "Mother, you have to think about a good place!" Lord Zhong knew that the old woman's thoughts and behaviors were wrong, but he was afraid that the old woman would be stimulated by something, so he obeyed her and did what he did today, you ......"

"It's not love." Mrs. Zhong interrupted her daughter's words, her voice cold and tired, "It's the most terrible trap in the world." ”

"Auntie—" "Auntie—"

Mrs. Zhong touched the sideburns of her daughter and niece, and said softly, "You all go out, I want to be alone and quiet." ”

Xu Hui and Xu Su exchanged a look, and looked at Mrs. Zhong for a long time with worry and reluctance, before slowly walking out. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the outer door, there was a maid waiting outside, and said respectfully: "Lord Lang summoned two girls." ”

Xu Su's eyes widened in surprise and asked in confirmation, "Two girls?" Not Hui'er alone? ”

"Yes, Lord Lang invited the two girls to meet him together."

When Xu Su heard this, he was even more apprehensive in his heart.

Compared to Xu Hui, who was with Xu Ze for at least two hours a day to discuss the situation, analyze intelligence, receive teachings, and have the privilege of entering the study freely, Xu Su, like all the female dependents of the Xu family of the Shangdang, was not qualified to step into the study where many confidential documents were placed. Even if she wanted to go in, she would only be loyal to Xu Ze's subordinates, and she would stop this eldest granddaughter of the Xu family who did not have a warrant, no matter what she said, she would not be accommodating. Therefore, as soon as he heard Xu Ze's request, Xu Su immediately thought that his grandfather was afraid that he was angry with the Zhong family and wanted to teach her a lesson, and his heart was even more uneasy. If it weren't for Xu Hui holding his sister all the time, Xu Su estimated that he would walk with the same hands and feet, and it would be difficult to maintain his usual demeanor.

Seeing Xu Su's somewhat restrained appearance, Xu Ze sighed lightly and asked, "How is Yun Niang?" ”

"Back to my grandfather, my mother was in a bad mood and said that she wanted to be alone and quiet." Xu Su lowered his head and replied, looking at the board, and he didn't dare to breathe. Looking at her appearance, thinking of himself in his previous life, Xu Hui showed a bitter smile and gestured to Xu Ze.

Xu Ze also saw the problem, he was silent for a moment before saying, "I have always respected women very much. ”

"Grandfather ......" Xu Su raised his head, a little puzzled by Xu Ze's words, Xu Ze walked over slowly, patted her shoulder, and said, "Men's power and leadership status are built on their great strength, and their wisdom is personal, cold, full of ambition, desire and unwillingness. And a woman's wisdom is gentle, graceful, silent, content with calm, and willing to keep happiness. Men's wisdom may be able to give them a moment of brilliance, but women's wisdom is the gospel of the whole race. ”

In this society where men are inferior to women, no man has said the same words as Xu Ze. In an instant, Xu Su's eyes turned red, and it took her a long time to find her voice and say, "But the Zhong family, the women of the Zhong family......"

Xu Ze smiled and shook his head, comforting: "The restlessness of the family is the fault of the head of the family, and it cannot be blamed on the woman." Therefore, you and Yun Niang are relaxed, even if the alliance between the Zhong family and the Xu family is broken, it has nothing to do with your mother and daughter. ”

He didn't say much to Xu Su, because these words were enough.

After Xu Su left, Xu Ze restrained his gentle expression, took out two secret letters from the book that had been opened and flipped through with fire paint, and handed them to Xu Hui. Xu Hui took the secret letter, and when he saw it for the first time, his pupils suddenly constricted, and his expression changed.

[On the fifth day of the second month of the eighth year of Xingping, the Qiang people invaded Jincheng and Wuwei counties. On the seventh day of the first month, Xuanwei County was lost, on the tenth day of the first month, the second time was lost, and on the fourteenth, Cangsong was lost......]

Just seeing this sentence, Xu Hui lost his voice and said: "How is this possible?" Wuwei County is stationed with heavy troops, and there is also a captain who guards the Qiang to lead the army, and the Wuwei County Guard can also fight well, how could it fall so quickly? What's more, this time is not right! ”

Xu Ze ignored her question, and just said, "Keep looking." ”

[Wuwei County Zhigu Zang three granaries were burned down, and were besieged by the Hu people for more than a month, the people in the city changed their children and eaten, Wuwei County Shousun Fujun collected the bodies of the starving dead, openly sold human flesh, three runs and one catty, willing to defend the city, according to the head, two taels a week. 】

Seeing this, Xu Hui only felt that the two thin pieces of paper in her hand weighed more than a thousand catties, and she continued to look down in disbelief.

[The passage between Jincheng and Wuwei was blocked, Sun Fujun asked for help from the west, and the reinforcements from Zhangye, Jiuquan and Xihai counties were delayed, and Gu Zang ...... Danger! 】

The last two words, crooked, but powerful through the back of the paper, are diametrically opposed to the previous scribbles. Xu Ze saw that Xu Hui had finished reading it, so he said softly: "The person who wrote the letter has been staying in Guzang, and now I am afraid that it has ...... Look at the second one. ”

Xu Hui nodded, and hurriedly turned to the second one, this one was a letter of thanks written by Qi Zhong, the Taishou of Yanmen, to Xu Ze, one of which made Xu Hui almost faint.

[At the beginning of February, the Xiongnu seemed to have signs of gathering troops, and tried the defense of Yanmen several times, but were blocked by the iron wall of the brother, and returned in vain. 】

"The beginning of February, it's the beginning of February...... Qi Fang has been locked up for several days, if the news can be transmitted quickly as soon as he is arrested, the time when Qi Fujun knows this news should indeed be the beginning of February......" Xu Hui was covered in cold sweat and muttered unconsciously, "But this is impossible, the surnames in the north are in their own way, and the displaced people are from north to south, from west to east, and the direction of the envoy is diametrically opposite, so it is impossible to blend in." Otherwise, it would not have been possible for us to get the information in late March, but ...... Could it be ......?"

She thought of it, and thought of the only way to transfer information that would not be carefully checked by the guards, and that it was the safest and safest way to transmit information.

Seeing what she thought, Xu Ze nodded lightly, and the two said together:

"Buddha Gate."
