Xu Jie stopped Mao Yulong's idea of informing his friend Song Yuanshan of the mutiny. Mao Yulong stopped, turned around and asked outside the door, "Why?" ”

Speaking of which, after that meeting in the plum garden, Mao Yulong also regarded Song Yuanshan as a friend, and when this catastrophe was coming, he notified him and asked his family to make preparations, which was quite necessary in Mao Yulong's opinion.

Xu Jie took Mao Yulong's hand and said cautiously: "Little brother, think about it, what kind of family is the Song family?" A century-old wealthy family, all of them are human spirits, and what you said is quite shocking. You tell me, with our heart-to-heart mood, I firmly believe it, but if you tell the Song family, will he believe you for this nonsense? ”

Mao Yulong pondered for a moment and then stopped his feet.

Xu Jie said again: "Once they don't believe you, you will become everyone's laughing stock." At the same time, they will also publicize the ridiculous thing you said in small talk, and when it doesn't happen, your frivolity will be known to everyone, which is not good for your future. ”

Mao Yulong walked back to the room, sat on the chair he had just sat on, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, and slowly sipped it in contemplation.

"And if they believe you, they will inevitably report to relatives and friends, so that the whole city of Hangzhou will immediately spread all over the city, after all, it will cause panic among the people in the city, but before the soldiers mutiny, the entire government will move, and then they will not be the first to suppress those soldiers, but the first time to arrest you, the person who disturbs the people's hearts, when the time comes, you lose your fame is small, I am afraid you will have to be imprisoned."

Mao Yulong sipped the tea while falling into deep thought.

Xu Jie is right, although it is still his cold temperament, but after all, this is for his own good from his own point of view. As he said, whether the Song family believes it or not, he will not fall into the benefits, and he will get into trouble, in fact, he can't do such a thing, he has to be a high-ranking official in the future, and help Uncle Mao Wenlong, how can he break his future ideals in such a thing?

Looking at Mao Yulong, who was silent in thought, Xu Jie thought he was hesitating, so he explained again: "The Song family is a century-old family and has accumulated a lot of wealth. At the same time, the Song family is not like yours, there will be two strengths, and there will be no less than three or five hundred servants from each family of the Song family alone. And the children of their own people, there are even three or five hundred, and if you call on their neighbors, thousands of people will be able to gather in a while, and there is absolutely no problem. They are united in one heart, and there is absolutely nothing to say about combat effectiveness.

But how many mutinous soldiers will there be? All the nine battalions of men and horses are only about four or five thousand, and they have to be scattered to various places to loot and be distributed to the Song family, but there are only hundreds of people, thousands of people against hundreds of people, and they have the same hatred in wartime, so the Song family is not in danger. ”

After such an analysis, Mao Yulong was relieved and stood up easily: "Since this is the case, you and I will arrange our own affairs, and I have to run back now." ”

"You can't use the run, then you will scare the old lady, there is no shadow, it will make the chickens and dogs jump, but it is counterproductive. Don't be in a hurry to do things, and it is fundamental to not be chaotic in the face of danger. Then he patted Mao Yulong on the shoulder, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Little brother, you are still tender in character, learn more from my brother." ”

Mao Yulong walked outward, gave him a roll of the eyes, and then raised his middle finger and gave him a big cut.

In front of the courtyard gate, he took a few deep breaths to calm down his agitated mood, then pushed the door open, and said to the courtyard, "Mother, the child is back." ”

But this time I didn't hear my mother's kind promise, it was Xiaoya and Xiaohuang who came out, and Mao Yulong asked the pouting Xiaoya in confusion: "What about my mother?" Why are you upset? ”

Xiaoya pursed her lips and replied with tears in her eyes: "My mother went to grandma's house, don't take me there." ”

Children love to go to their grandmother's house with their mother, this is because they can not only go out to play, but the most important thing is that grandma loves her grandchildren the most.

So Xiaoya was not taken to grandma's house by her mother, of course, she was as unhappy as other children.

Mao Yulong picked up Xiaoya, wiped her tears and asked, "Didn't your mother say when she would come back when she left?" "Grandma's house is far away from here, living in Chengdong, walking through the streets and alleys, and it takes half a day to walk. According to the hour, my mother left late, and I am afraid that it will be dark when I come back.

Xiaoya said: "When my mother left, I said that I won't come back tonight, let my brother sleep with me." As he spoke, he forgot all about the unhappiness just now, and immediately rejoiced that he could sleep with his brother at night.

When Mao Yulong heard this, he was anxious, he didn't know when this mutiny would happen, his mother was not by his side, Mao Yulong was absolutely not at ease.

But soon Xu Jie will send the grain he borrowed for 100 stones, and he can't pick up his mother back, what can I do?

But in a blink of an eye, I saw that Zhao's father's aunt was coming out to carry firewood and prepare for dinner, so she leaned on the courtyard wall and asked her aunt: "Auntie, are my three brothers at home?" ”

Aunt Zhao saw that Mao Yulong was back, so she replied: "San'er and his father went to Pan Kang, ah, by the way, your mother said when she left, he won't come back, dinner will be handed over to me for your brothers and sisters, hurry up, and the meal will start in a while." ”

Now Daddy Zhao's pankang work is booming, large and small households are waiting for him, the work starts on the second day of the first month, and it will be scheduled for a month.

As long as the income is good, the Zhao family is no longer without a meal, and it is not a problem to care about a few meals of Mao Yulong's brothers and sisters, besides, they still owe Mao Yulong a huge favor. Although Mao Yulong and his mother didn't mention it, they didn't mention it, and they couldn't forget it. Therefore, Aunt Zhao is very attentive to this task.

"Tonight, the pancake stall will let you taste Auntie's craftsmanship."

Mao Yulong hurriedly interrupted Aunt Zhao's words: "Auntie, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I want Uncle and my brother to come back, you know who they are doing their work now, I'll go find them back." ”

As soon as she heard that Mao Yulong was in a hurry, Aunt Zhao threw the firewood in her arms to the ground: "It's not far from going out today, it's Li Yuanwai's house, it's inconvenient for you to take the child, I'll go find it for you." Then he took off his apron, threw the dust off his garment, wiped his hair, and hurried out the door.
