In this world, all kinds of things that people express, such as wisdom and wealth, may not necessarily be what people really have, those who are smart may just be smart, and those who seem to be rich may just be holding on to the façade. Easy to read on your phone: α. Organize it

On the other hand, what people don't show is not necessarily what people don't have.

For example, Xiao Shenxing.

In his life, Xiao Shenxing never showed any qualities related to wisdom or perseverance, but this is not to say that Xiao Shenxing lacked these qualities. The conversation between Xiao Shenxing and Xiao Mo three years ago, and the various opinions when everyone discussed the countermeasures this night, all show that Xiao Shenxing's wisdom and vision are stronger than those of the Xiao family.

Over the years, in the eyes of everyone, Xiao Shenxing is mediocre and weak, he only knows how to play chess and raise flowers all day long, and he enjoys himself, as the patriarch, he handed over all the affairs of the Xiao family to the Liu family and Xiao Shenyan, and the power is sidelined. Although the clansmen felt that Xiao Shenxing was amiable, they did not mean to look down on him in their hearts.

But in fact, Xiao Shenxing is not as smart as Xiao Shenyan, nor is he without Liu's shrewdness, he just doesn't like to show his shrewdness and wisdom all the time, perhaps, this is the real wisdom.

What's more, like Xiao Shenxing, who spends his whole life on the things he loves, isn't it the most fulfilling and meaningful life among all people?

Therefore, when the Xiao family is facing a crisis, the person who may be able to save the Xiao family will not be the shrewd and stern Liu, not Xiao Shenyan, who has read poetry and books for a long time, and will not be Xiao Mo when he was a child, but Xiao Shenxing, an old man who has been ignored by everyone.

This night, thinking of the crisis of the Xiao family, the four members of the Xiao family all stayed awake all night, Xiao Mo practiced calligraphy all night, Xiao Shenyan sat silently in the study, while Xiao Shenxing and Liu were lying on their shoulders in the bedroom of the two, and they were all tossing and turning.

Silently thinking about countermeasures, there was silence in the bedroom. Among them, Xiao Shenxing silently looked at the curtain above his head, his eyes flickered, and he kept thinking about something.

Suddenly, Xiao Shenxing broke the silence and asked Liu, "I remember that you have a younger sister, can she be trusted?" ”

Liu didn't know why Xiao Shen would ask this, but he still shook his head and said: "You don't know, after my father died, only me and her were left in the family, but my father doted on me even more, and gave me eight or nine out of ten of the family's property as a dowry, so she and her brother-in-law had a lot of resentment against my Xiao family, and they had no contact for decades. What do you do when you suddenly ask about this? ”

Xiao Shenxing nodded and explained: "If Sikong Min really wants to take revenge on the fourth brother and the Xiao family this time, although the Xiao family has many side branches, it is not safe. I wondered if if she could be trusted, if she could send Mo'er to live with her for a while, and then pick it up when everything was over. ”

Liu sneered: "How is it possible, she and her husband wish that our Xiao family would collapse." Let's not say that they will definitely not accept Mo'er, even if they do, if the Xiao family is really retaliated against by Sikong Min in the future, they will definitely give Mo'er to Sikong Min immediately. ”

Xiao Shenxing nodded, didn't say anything more, and the room fell silent again.

Suddenly, just when Liu thought that Xiao Shenxing had fallen asleep, Xiao Shenxing said softly to Liu: "Madam, we have all lived for more than sixty years, which can be regarded as a long life, and there is not much time left. But Mo'er is still young, right? ”

Liu Shi was stunned, she didn't know why Xiao Shenxing suddenly talked about this, and turned her head to look at Xiao Shenxing strangely.

Xiao Shenxing didn't mean to explain, but smiled at Liu, then got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and slowly walked outside the house.

Liu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly put on his clothes and followed behind Xiao Shenxing, but saw Xiao Shenxing walking towards the backyard of the Xiao family and the ancestral ancestral hall.

Liu felt strange in his heart, and asked Xiao Shenxing, but Xiao Shenxing did not answer, as usual, Liu was already angry, but at this moment, looking at the solemn look on Xiao Shenxing's face, he was not angry.

Most of the night has passed, and no one in the Xiao family has seen that the nominal head of the Xiao family and the actual head of the family are actually walking through the Xiao family's mansion in the middle of the night.

After about half a pillar of incense, Xiao Shenxing and Liu came to the ancestral ancestral hall of the Xiao family, Xiao Shenxing knelt down in front of the ancestral tablets first, his mouth opened and closed slightly, and he didn't know what he was saying, as if he was praying to the ancestors that the Xiao family could survive this catastrophe safely.

Then, Xiao Shenxing took the Xiao family tree from the ancestral tablet with both hands, opened it and looked at it for a long time, then closed it silently, suddenly sighed, and then slowly left the room with the family tree in his hand.

Standing outside the ancestral hall, Liu looked at Xiao Shenxing's movements strangely, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, his face changed, and he exclaimed: "Old man, you ......"

Xiao Shenxing interrupted Liu's words and said softly: "If the Xiao family really has a catastrophe, this is the best way." As long as people are still there, the Xiao family will have a future. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, the sky was slightly bright, and Xiao Mo, who felt that he had figured it out, had already gotten up and rushed towards the three elders.

After thinking hard all night, Xiao Mo's body was too weak, but he couldn't bear it, so he reluctantly lay on the bed and pretended to sleep for about half an hour.

It was only half an hour before and after the fake sleep, and the Xiao family's mansion was still silent before, why was the sky slightly bright at this time, so lively?

Xiao Mo was puzzled in his heart, grabbed a subordinate who was passing by in a hurry, and asked, "What's the matter?" Why did everyone wake up so early today? ”

Seeing that it was Xiao Mo, the man hurriedly replied respectfully: "Little young master, that's the case, just now the housekeeper woke everyone up, saying that the master was going to hold a clan meeting before the evening, and many people were beaten to find those old men who had split up, and we are here to arrange." ”

Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, waved his hand to let the person leave, and wondered what Xiao Shenxing was going to do, at the same time, Xiao Yi, who had accompanied Xiao Mo for one night, also hurried over, and saw that the atmosphere of the Xiao family looked a little uneasy, and after Xiao Mo nodded at Xiao Yi, he quickly walked towards the main hall.

Before coming to the main hall, he met Xiao Shenyan, who was also in a hurry, and looked at his expression, and he hadn't slept all night.

After Xiao Shenyan nodded to Xiao Mo, he quickly entered the main hall, Xiao Mo hurriedly followed, but Xiao Yi was guarding the door of the main hall.

Entering the main hall, he saw that Xiao Shenxing and Liu were already sitting in the middle. It's just that they haven't seen each other in the middle of the night, and their faces seem to be getting older.

"Big brother, I heard someone say that you want to hold a clan meeting, what is going on?"

As soon as he entered the main hall, Xiao Shenyan asked Xiao Shenxing.

Seeing Xiao Mo following Xiao Shenyan, for some reason, Liu's face showed a rare look of excitement, he stood up and took two quick steps to hold Xiao Mo in his arms, and called softly: "My hard-working child." ”

The voice was so low that even Xiao Mo himself couldn't hear it clearly.

As Xiao Mo grew older and Xiao Mo's own resistance, Liu rarely held Xiao Mo in his arms over the years, Xiao Mo subconsciously wanted to break free, but now Liu was quite excited for some reason, and his expression was quite sad, although he felt awkward, but he still let Liu hold him like this, silently thinking about what happened in his heart.

Then, Liu hugged Xiao Mo back to his seat, constantly asking Xiao Mo about all kinds of situations, and telling Xiao Mo all kinds of small things in life, as if Xiao Mo was a wanderer who was about to leave home, which made Xiao Mo even more puzzled in his heart.

And Xiao Shenxing also stared at Xiao Mo with a kind face for a long time, before turning his head to Xiao Shenyan and said: "This time I discussed it with your sister-in-law, over the years, our sect has been a little too harsh on the various side branches of the Xiao family, every time the side branches are divided, they are only given hundreds of acres of fields, and the harvest of the northern fields is generally not high, and these lands can just make them barely support their families." So I want to hold a clan meeting and divide the land of this sect to each side branch, after all, they are all descendants of the Xiao family. ”

Hearing Xiao Shenxing's words, Xiao Shenyan nodded silently, he knew that Xiao Shenxing was leaving a way out for the Xiao family.

Looking at the silent Xiao Shenyan, Xiao Shenxing hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Also, I have basically determined that Sikong Min came to Huanzhou this time to come for you. ”

Xiao Shenyan's body shook and looked up at Xiao Shenxing.

"I just got the news from Lord Taishou, and in two days, Sikong Min will come to Changzhi City, and ask my Xiao family to send a representative to greet all the officials and gentry in Changzhi City at that time."

Xiao Shenyan's expression changed, then he regained his composure, and nodded silently again, the matter has come to this, Xiao Shenyan no longer regrets or panics, just frowns and thinks about countermeasures. After a while, he said hesitantly: "Big brother, I have thought about it, if I leave Changzhi City before that Sikong Min comes to Changzhi, or, taking the opportunity of this clan conference, I will leave the Xiao family...... In this way, after Sikong Min can't find me, he won't trouble the Xiao family anymore......"

Obviously, this is the countermeasure that Xiao Shenyan thought of all night.

Xiao Shenxing shook his head and said: "No, I thought about it all night yesterday, according to my estimates, this time Sikong Min came to Changzhi City, not against you, the fourth brother, but at the entire Xiao family." It's useless for you to leave. ”

Xiao Shenyan raised his head in astonishment and asked, "How is it possible?" It was me who offended him, how could he want to target the Xiao family? ”

Xiao Shenxing sighed and said, "Fourth brother, don't you understand? Sikong Min didn't want to take revenge, he wanted to take revenge and revenge on Prime Minister Zhang Qian, not a small person like you, he came here to find a way to restore the damaged reputation from you twenty years ago, so as to regain the trust of the emperor and the people of the world, and regain power in the court. And if you want to control him and restore his reputation, what means is more direct than controlling the Xiao family? ”

Hearing Xiao Shenxing's words, in addition to the Liu family, Xiao Shenyan and Xiao Mo were both shocked, Xiao Shenyan didn't expect things to be like this, and felt that he really affected the Xiao family, but Xiao Mo didn't expect that what he thought of all night, Xiao Shenxing also thought of it, and thought more thoroughly than himself.

Xiao Shenyan was not only confused, but also looked at Xiao Shenxing with complicated eyes, this person, is this really the Xiao Shenxing who has been inferior to himself in all aspects since he was a child?

Xiao Shenxing is still the same Xiao Shenxing, but in the eyes of everyone, the original mediocrity and weakness have been replaced by wisdom.

Xiao Shenxing didn't care what everyone thought, and when everyone was shocked, he said: "However, what you said just now, Fourth Brother, is also right, after the clan meeting is over this afternoon, you will take Mo'er to leave Changzhi City for a period of time, and come back after a qiē is over, I hope that I am wrong, and after Sikong Min can't find you, maybe he won't be looking for trouble with the Xiao family." But if I'm right...... Then the Xiao family will have a catastrophe, and you won't come back with Mo'er. ”

As Xiao Shenxing finished saying this, Liu, who had been holding Xiao Mo and nagging non-stop, suddenly stiffened, but she couldn't speak anymore, she had always been strong, she couldn't help but start crying, and tears slid down her wrinkled face, which made people sad.

Obviously, Xiao Shenxing's decision, she already knew.

For the Liu family, Xiao Mo is not only her only grandson, but also her qiē, thinking that Xiao Mo is about to leave home, maybe or goodbye, where can she hold back?

And Xiao Mo finally knew why Liu was so excited since he appeared.

On the other side, after hearing Xiao Shenxing's words, Xiao Shenyan's body shook, and he looked up at Xiao Shenxing, his eyes were facing each other, one looked excited, and the other looked peaceful.

In the end, it seemed that he was infected by Xiao Shenxing, Xiao Shenyan's expression calmed down, and he nodded silently, and did not object, because he knew that this was the best way to deal with it.

Keeping Xiao Mo is protecting the Xiao family, and this is his responsibility.

After entering the main hall, Xiao Mo was held by the Liu family from beginning to end, and he didn't have a chance to say a word. At this time, he wanted to speak, but he didn't say anything, and he couldn't change Xiao Shenxing's decision unless he had a better way.

In the end, Xiao Mo couldn't help but ask softly, "Can't we go together?" Everybody's out of here. ”

Xiao Shenxing turned his head to look at Xiao Mo, his eyes were peaceful and loving, but he suddenly hugged Xiao Mo from Liu's arms to his lap and gently stroked Xiao Mo's head.

If Xiao Mo remembered correctly, this was the first time Xiao Shenxing had been so close to him.

"Silly boy, we have to stay here, only if we stay, can we have any hope of keeping this family business, once something happens, we can delay time for you, we can get rid of the relationship for you when something happens, and the most important thing is that we stay here, and there is a way to guard against that Sikong Min, if we all leave, the goal is too big, not to mention, then after Sikong Min comes here, he doesn't want to frame us, how to frame us?"

"Just me and the fourth grandfather leaving?"

"Well, you can't have too many people, you are the only descendant of the Xiao family, and the fourth grandfather is not only Sikong Min's target, but will continue to teach you to read in the future, so the two of you must leave. But Xiao Yi next to you will also follow you, your grandmother must leave someone by your side to take care of you, originally she wanted the old housekeeper to follow you, but I still chose Xiao Yi, that child always works hard in his studies, and he is known to repay his kindness, even if he will not be your help in the future, he will never betray you. ”

Xiao Mo nodded silently, although the matter had not yet been decided, Xiao Mo had a feeling of parting from life and death.

For the first time, Xiao Mo didn't have the mentality of getting by and living a mess before, at this time, he was only hating his powerlessness.

If I had a little bit of a goal in the early years, plagiarized a few poems and passed them on to the world, gained fame as soon as possible, and won the name of a prodigy genius, would the current situation be better? At least, after gaining fame and fame, Sikong Min would not be so unscrupulous when he took revenge on the Xiao family, and the Xiao family would not be at a loss for coping.

Xiao Mo thought silently.

It seemed that he felt that the atmosphere in the main hall was too sad, Xiao Shenxing smiled and said: "Mo'er, don't be wonderful, in fact, it is not certain whether Sikong Min came to Changzhi City this time to take revenge on my Xiao family, maybe we just had a false alarm, maybe you went out with your fourth grandfather and came back, don't be wonderful, think about the good side of everything." ”

However, except for Xiao Mo nodded, no one answered, and there was silence.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the front house, breaking the peace, and at the same time, the old housekeeper of the Xiao family hurriedly came to the main hall with a strange face, and reported: "Master, Master Yang is here." ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed.
