Since Daochang Kwong discovered the secret behind Liren and Lixin, he had a secret discussion with the old lady for a day. Old lady Yang let go and let Daochang Kuang teach the brothers. And ordered the whole family: "Whoever dares to meddle in the affairs of Kuang Daochang will be expelled from the Yang family." The whole family was full of doubts and did not dare to speak up.

Two years later, the brothers' father went to Zhichao Prefecture, but it was quite difficult to reunite with his family because of the long distance. Therefore, he appointed his domestic servant Yang Zhong to return home with a letter to his grandfather and parents, and by the way, he took Liren and Lixin's mother and son to live in Chaozhou for a period of time.

At this time, Kuang Daochang said goodbye and said that there was something important to return to Yunwu Mountain, so he asked Liren and Lixin to go to Chaozhou with his mother first, and he would arrive in two months, and when he left, he also withdrew a large amount of money from the old lady, as well as cash. The old lady didn't ask and withdrew it directly, and instructed the housekeeper: "The Taoist chief does not need to report to me if he withdraws any money or property." "Because of the old lady's explicit order a few days ago, the housekeeper and his family did not dare to ask.

Immediately, Kuang Daochang took four domestic slaves and money and things to leave.

Two days after Kwong Daochang's resignation, Li Ren and Li Xin and their mother also bid farewell to their families and set off for Chaozhou with their ten faithful sons, nurses and maids.

At the gate of the mansion, the old lady looked at his great-grandson kindly, touched the heads of the two children and said softly: "Two good great-grandsons, the road is far away, you must listen to your mother's words along the way, don't be naughty, don't make trouble." ”

Li Ren and Li Xin carefully looked at the old ancestor's kind cheeks, and said with red eyes: "Old ancestor, the great-grandchildren must listen to their mother's words, or you will beat us when you come back if you are disobedient." ”

The old lady looked at the two little mischiefs who were about to cry for the first time and laughed: "Where are the two troublemakers who are usually not afraid of heaven and earth, and it's not that they can't see the ancestor after they come back, and when they think about the ancestor, they will come back." But the more the old lady said this, the more the brothers wanted to cry.

The old lady saw that he couldn't persuade him like this, so he patted the heads of the brothers and said resolutely: "Don't cry, men don't flick if they have tears!" Go with your mothers, for you will travel thousands of miles after reading ten thousand books, so that you may be successful. If the boys and children of our Yang family cry like children, don't admit that his surname is Yang. ”

At this time, the brothers saw that the old ancestor was like a high mountain, like a stubborn stone standing upright in the wind and rain for thousands of years, the brothers looked at each other and then firmly said to the old ancestor: "Please rest assured, the great-grandchildren will never cry like women and children from now on, the great-grandchildren of the ancestors are gone!" ”

The old lady stroked the back of her abdomen with one hand and stroked her hair with the other and nodded: "Go ahead!" ”

The brothers said goodbye to their ancestors, grandfather and grandmother, and rode off with their mother's carriage.

On the streets of Jizhou, there is an endless stream of people, and vendors are vying to sell. The two benevolent brothers looked left and right excitedly, and they also wanted to buy and see that.

Xiuniang, the mother of the two brothers, sat on the donkey cart and shook her head and thought: "The children have grown up so big, they have never left the Yang Mansion, and they have just read books and practiced martial arts for a few years, which has made the children suffer." Thinking of this, he commanded: "Hu'er, Leopard, follow Ren'er and Xin'er, and look for us at the Yuelai Inn in the west of the city in a while." ”

"It's the young lady!" Yang Hu and Yang Bao replied respectfully.

"How many times have you said that? You are my sons, and you call me my mother like Ren'er and Xin'er. Yang's Xiuniang said slightly angrily.

Seeing that the young lady was angry, Yang Hu and Yang Bao bowed their heads and said, "It's the stepmother!" ”

Yang's Xiuniang shook her head and smiled and waved her hand: "This is like words, go quickly." Yang Hu and Yang Bao turned around and chased after Liren and Lixin.

Yang Xiuniang looked at the backs of these two righteous sons and remembered that ten years ago, these righteous sons and the nursing home were originally refugees who fled from the north of the Yangtze River, and lost their land and fled to the south because of the war.

They fled to the south without much food, and their families ran out of food, and they had no money to sell food. There are so many refugees who have fled that there are already people who can make ends meet. Some ruthlessly sell their sons and daughters for themselves, and some sell themselves to various mansions so that their families can survive.

In the past ten years, many men and women have come to the Yang Mansion to sell themselves as slaves, and the Yang Mansion usually takes great care of these people, and does not discriminate against them because they are sold to them, but gives them good treatment and great freedom. This is because the old lady of Yang Mansion was also born poor, and if she hadn't become a county parent official in high school, she would have ended up begging to get by. But character is very important, and Mrs. Yang did not ignore the problem of character because of the overflow of compassion.

From the earliest to the present, there are about 200 people, and only half of them can be selected and left. But those who remain are able to endure hardships and stand hard work, and are loyal. The family of these people, the old lady also arranged in the end, there are thousands of acres of cultivated land of the Yang family next to the Yang Mansion, and the nearest land to the Yang Mansion was selected to build a house for these people, although the houses of each family are not big, but each family is very grateful to the old lady Yang for the grace of reconstruction, so the family took the initiative to ask the old lady Yang to give the surname Yang, and the old lady agreed to everyone under the hospitality, and the small households of the Yang family in the past formed the Yangjiazhuang based on the Yang Mansion.

Only a few of these house slaves were literate, and all of them were arranged by Mrs. Yang to serve as bookkeepers in their own shops and hotels. The rest will only farm and do rough work, but there are too many people, it just so happened that there was no nursing home in Yang Mansion, at that time, Li Ren and Li Xin were still young, and Kuang Daochang had nothing to do, so he automatically selected a lot of strong and trained a group of nursing homes.

Yang Hu and Yang Bao were two of the elite who had been carefully trained in Yang Mansion since they were ten years old, thinking that when the two brothers fled to Yang Mansion, there were only a four-year-old and a three-year-old sister left in the family, and their parents left them with the last thing they could eat in order for them to survive, but their parents starved to death.

After many miserable children like them arrived at the Yang Mansion alive, the old lady who had never shed tears knew that the parents and relatives who died for them were moved to tears, and the old lady accepted these poor children on behalf of his grandson to take care of the righteous son and the righteous daughter surnamed Yang. These poor children thanked the Yang Mansion for their lives and accepted them as righteous sons, and vowed to protect everyone in the Yang Mansion with their lives since they were young.

Thinking of this, Yang's Xiuniang came back to her senses and ordered to go to the Yuelai Inn left and right.

Li Ren and Li Xin walked slowly while playing, and Yang Hu and Yang Bao each led two horses to follow closely behind.

The time was until noon, Li Ren and Li Xin were full of food, tired of playing, thirsty and saw a tea stall not far in front of them, Li Xin turned around and shouted to Yang Hu and Yang Leopard: "Brother Tiger, Brother Leopard, let's go to the tea stall in front, so thirsty." ”

Yang Hu and Yang Bao looked at the two brothers, looked at each other and shook their heads, "hehe" smiled and replied: "Okay, just come." ”

Waiting for Yang Bao and Yang Hu to tie up their horses and sit down, Li Ren and Li Xin both drank two large bowls of herbal tea, where they touched their stomachs, and gasped comfortably. After drinking tea, the four of them saw that the sun was high and the tea stall was still relatively cool, so they were ready to sit and chat and rest for a while.

At this moment, I saw two obscene men running from the east, one of them carrying a sack about half a man high on his shoulder, and the sack was still moving straight. Not far behind the two lewd men was a group of teenage ragged teenagers, one of whom shouted, "Don't run!" Lay down my sister!! ”

All this looked in Liren's eyes and thought: 'This sack is very suspicious', Liren looked at Lixin suspiciously, just happened to see Lixin also looking at him, and then looked at Yang Hu and Yang Leopard, the four of them nodded to each other and stood up at the same time.

Rihito, who was standing on the road, kicked the bench he was sitting on to the legs of the two men.

The two men were rushing forward when they saw a bench flying sideways, their legs flying, and it was too late to dodge. "Smack" The two men's legs seemed to have been smashed by a stone, and they pounced in both directions in the front volley. The sack that the man was carrying just now was also rolled forward and flew out with inertia.
