Chapter 226: Return
Ouyang Luo was older, and suddenly understood what Zhao Zhongli was going to do. secretly pulled the corners of Li Ziyu's clothes and motioned for her to come out.
Ouyang Luo took Xiao Lan with one hand and Xiao Ou with the other hand and walked out of the East House first.
Li Ziyu is not really twelve years old after all, and she also understands that Zhao Zhongli is afraid that he is going to the toilet.
These days, Xiaoshan and Xiaowen are waiting for him to relieve himself on the kang, and each time they use a clay pot to follow.
Although the three meals a day are carefully prepared by my aunt and cousin, it is not very convenient to serve them closely. Thanks to the two younger brothers, they scrubbed him and served him to urinate.
In the past few days, maybe because of his weak body and not eating much, Zhao Zhongli has not pooped. Now that I am awake and have drunk a bowl of porridge, the impurities in my stomach need to be discharged.
Speaking of which, I am really sorry for my two younger brothers, knowing that there will be an exam tomorrow, but I still use these trivial things to trouble them.
In the past few days that Zhao Zhongli has been here, the younger brothers will definitely not be able to study hard. Although they also quietly read books on their desks, they will definitely be affected.
I'm also busy with messy chores, and I completely ignore the exam of my younger brothers. If the younger brothers don't play well tomorrow, they will have to regret it.
Li Ziyu followed her aunt out of the house, feeling very uncomfortable, feeling that her sister was too incompetent.
After Xiaoshan and Xiaowen helped Zhao Zhongli to go to the toilet and returned to the house, Li Ziyu didn't ask him about the cave again.
On the one hand, there are too many people in the house, so it is inconvenient to ask. On the other hand, there is Bujiu staring at the side. I'm sure there will always be an opportunity to ask clearly.
Li Ziyu is most worried about her younger brothers' exams tomorrow, whether the younger brothers are ready.
So, after Zhao Zhongli returned to the house. Li Ziyu called her two younger brothers to the West House and asked them how they were preparing for tomorrow's exam.
Ouyang Luo also looked at the two nephews nervously, tomorrow's exam will determine the future development direction of the Ouyang family. If you decide to enter the WTO with the surname Li and enter the official career, then tomorrow's exam will become a key pass.
The so-called journey of 10,000 miles begins with a single step, no matter how far the journey is, the first step must be taken.
Xiaoshan looked at his sister and aunt nervously. smiled and said, "Auntie! Sister! Don't worry, Xiaowen and I are completely sure, but there shouldn't be much of a problem. ”
Xiaowen also opened his mouth rarely: "It's okay." My brother and I will get in. If you can't even pass the school hall in this town, you don't have to think about anything else. ”
The reason why Xiaowen said this is because he has the bottom in his heart.
Since he and his brother knew their background, they were holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, and they must not embarrass the family. I can't disgrace my sister.
Since his ancestors were destroyed by the current emperor. He also tried every means to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. Then he wants to let the royal family see how the descendants of the Ouyang family shine on the dual path of civil and military.
He doesn't think about revenge, that's the most unwise thing to do, and it's self-destructive.
A small family can't compete with the entire court in any case, although the emperor alone can't represent the entire court, but the rulers hold the highest power in the Daye Dynasty. If you blatantly oppose the court, you will be guilty of being wronged on your grandfather's head.
He wouldn't be so stupid, and he discussed with his brother about the future direction of the family. decided to enter the official career through the imperial examination. Whether it's a road or a martial road, you have to break into it. Slowly develop your network.
If a family wants to grow and develop, it is absolutely impossible to have its own connections. This was taught to them by their sister, and it made them feel like they were empowered.
In the past, they thought that being able to read and write in the town was the most promising. I never thought I could have a long-term plan.
However, after learning about their backgrounds, my sister once called them to a corner where no one was and told them something. It was these words that made them pause and feel the responsibility on their shoulders.
My sister said at the time, our family is a very great family, and our great-grandfather is a very great great-grandfather.
If my great-grandfather had been selfish and ruthless, he would have been able to keep the foundation of the Ouyang family and would not have let the court end it.
At that time, my great-grandfather was the commander of the three border cities, commanding 150,000 soldiers and horses. Because his great-grandfather took the lead in every battle and was strong in martial arts, he had a high prestige among the generals and soldiers in the army.
If the great-grandfather disobeyed the charges of the imperial court and led 150,000 officers and soldiers to rebel against the imperial court, the Ouyang family would definitely not have even women and children left.
Not to mention anything else, with 150,000 soldiers and horses in hand, there is also the capital and weight to negotiate with the imperial court. It's just that in that case, the Liao State will take advantage of the situation and the war will break out in full force. At that time, the people will not be able to make a living, and ordinary people will be in dire straits.
Therefore, for the sake of righteousness, my great-grandfather would rather be beheaded than rebel against the court.
However, my sister said that although we have the blood of the Ouyang family in our bodies, this kind of behavior of sacrificing the small family for the righteousness is not advisable.
First of all, we will not commit treason unless we have to, but if the court really forces us to commit treason, then we will betray it. The premise is that we have to save our lives, and we will not fight with our lives.
Let's slowly develop our own forces and find out the culprit who framed my grandfather's family back then. No matter what you do, you can't do anything without your own connections.
Therefore, taking a career is the only and necessary choice. Although it will be unimaginable to find out what happened back then, it is necessary to find out even if it is difficult. This is the responsibility and mission on their shoulders, and they cannot give up even if it takes ten or twenty years.
In fact, Li Ziyu had no choice but to tell them the truth. She originally wanted to hide from them and let them start their lives without worry.
However, if they enter the official career in the future, they will inevitably face bloody storms and bloody battles in the political arena. If you are not careful, your achievements will be wasted and your career will be ruined.
Moreover, the Meng family, the biggest suspect in framing the Ouyang family, is in full swing in the court. If they don't have a little vigilance in their hearts, no one can predict what will happen.
Therefore, she chose to tell the truth to her two younger brothers, so that they are always vigilant in their hearts, which is not a bad thing.
Besides, the two of them are the future pillars of this family, and honing their minds too early will help them mature psychologically, and they will be able to cope with the ups and downs outside.
At this moment, Li Ziyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart when she saw that her two younger brothers were confident.
After dinner, everyone slept separately after a tiring day.
Li Ziyu put the 50,000 taels of silver tickets he got from selling ideas today into the cabinet and locked them carefully. She didn't tell everyone about such a large sum of money because her family was already rich enough. Let's talk about this money when I have a chance in the future, the family is very mixed now, and it is not the right time to talk about it.
When she slept until midnight, Li Ziyu woke up. She sensitively noticed that there was movement outside, but Step 9 and Step 10 were always outside, why didn't they make a sound?
Li Ziyu got up quietly, took out her dagger from under the mattress, and walked to the door of the West House to listen to the movement outside. Listening to the sound, it felt like there was some movement in the east room.
She gently opened the door, turned to go out, and fastened the door behind her with the strip of cloth on it.
She looked at the East Room, a glimmer of light leaking through the crack in the door, and a faint voice could be heard from inside.
When she quietly pushed open the door of the east room, her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the people inside.
I saw a handsome figure sitting on the chair in the room, and it was Ren Xiaohang, who I hadn't seen for a long time!
