Although it didn't snow on this day, the cold wind of winter was still cold to the bone marrow, Xu Rui and Xu Ange, the two teenagers, were shivering from the cold, and the vermilion lacquer door in front of them was still tightly closed.

After picking up Xu Ange, Xu Rui planned to take him back to Yang's mansion, nominally he was still Yang Weiyuan's righteous son, and after Beiwuwei returned to the camp, he could only return here.

In fact, Xu Rui didn't want to come, but Yang Weiyuan had just passed away, so it was impossible for him to go elsewhere.

However, he never expected that the two of them had waited outside the gate for two full hours, knocked on the door countless times but no one answered.

It is impossible to say that there is no one in the house, this is not a two-bedroom family of three, but six in and three out, plus two cross-courtyard Hou mansions in the east and west, even if the owner is not there, there will be a full-time gatekeeper.

Xu Rui didn't know about idiots, not to mention that every time he knocked on the door, he could hear snickering from behind the door, not to mention that there were four or five people who were watching his jokes through the crack in the door, so he naturally knew that the owner of this mansion deliberately refused to open the door.

"Young master, there is no place to stay here, there is a place to keep a master...... Pander to...... Chewie...... We...... Let's go. ”

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, An Ge couldn't stand the cold, and said with a sniff.

Xu Rui's face turned pale, and he sneered: "He...... If they don't open the door, don't they just want to drive me away? We...... Our Northern Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and I left as soon as my father-in-law left, everyone will say that I am ungrateful and want to stink me, this is their calculation! ”

To say that this abacus is really not clever, but the problem is that the Yang family, as the main family, even if it does not open the door, it is reasonable, plus Yang Weiyuan has just died in battle, public opinion is sympathetic, unless some unconventional means are used, Xu Rui has no way to take the Yang family.

"Yes...... But we can't freeze to death here, can we? Want...... Why don't you come back tomorrow? ”

An Ge looked at Xu Rui pitifully.

Xu Rui groaned slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I'll give way, let's go through the back door!" ”

"Back door?"

"Well, the back door will definitely open!"

"Young Master, you already knew that the back door would open, why are you waiting here stupidly?"

"Stupid, of course the young master is waiting for others to see, this kind of thing can only be in the light, not in the dark, you remember, as the saying goes, suffering is a blessing, but suffering a dark loss is stupid!"

The two teenagers were talking in a white breath, dragging their stiff bodies, bypassing the huge Jingwu Marquis Mansion and walking towards the back door.

There is only a word difference between the front gate and the back door, but the meaning of the representation is very different, Xu Rui returned from this expedition, which is a very important event, if you enter and exit from the main gate, it is dignified, and the back door is inferior, and the slave and maid merge.

From the very beginning, Xu Rui knew what the Yang family meant, and they gave themselves two choices, either roll or be a dog with their tails between their legs.

It's just that Xu Rui is a bastard, he has to be a bitch, and the archway has to be erected, so he will wait in front of the gate for two whole hours.

Although in the end he seemed to bow his head and give in, if there was no strategic retreat, how could there be a day of counterattack?

Xu Rui's use of soldiers has always been strange and dangerous, and he naturally will not follow the rules.

The two came to the back door, which was a place for carriages, cattle and domestic slaves to enter and exit, An Ge forcibly endured his unhappiness and knocked on the door, and this time it didn't take long for the door to open with a "creak".

The two teenagers were just about to enter the door, and a basin of dirty water suddenly splashed out along the crack in the door.

But even if they weren't splashed with dirty water, the two were shocked.

The dirty water splashed on the ground emitted a foul smell, An Ge sniffled, recognized that it was actually the "golden water" that washed the manure of the stables, and immediately became furious, kicked the door panel, and was about to go up to theorize.

Xu Rui patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "Let's go, it's just a humiliation to theorize now." ”

With that, he took a big stride and calmly walked through the back door.

An Ge wanted to say something, but it can be seen that the young master said so, so he had to grit his teeth and follow.

When the two came to the Hou Mansion, the subordinates were having dinner, the fragrance of the pancakes was far away, and everyone rushed to the kitchen, Xu Rui and An Ge were like two transparent people who didn't pay attention to them at all.

Xu Rui's original memory of everything about the Hou Mansion was very vague, probably because Xu Rui hated it too much, so he deliberately forgot it, so that the current Xu Rui had to face a huge problem, that is, he didn't know how to go to the Hou Mansion.

As a last resort, he arched his hand to the servant who was squatting in the corner and munching on the pancakes, ready to ask for directions.

"Excuse me, ......"

"Get out of the way, and don't see what this place is? Do you have a part in speaking? ”

Before Xu Rui's words could be spoken, the servant who was nearly forty years old suddenly came back viciously.

"There's a kind of you say it again!"

An Ge is a teenager's nature, how can he stand this anger? As soon as he grabbed the servant by the collar, he had to do it.

But after all, he was only fifteen years old, his body was thin and small, and the servant was a horseman, born tall and big, and he pushed An Ge back with a slap.

An Ge was aroused, and he was about to go up and fight hard with red eyes, but Xu Rui grabbed his arm.

"Young Master!"

An Ge gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Rui, but Xu Rui just shook his head and forcibly pulled him away.

The servant looked coldly at Xu Rui, who was still unconvinced, and spit out thick phlegm: "Phew, two wild seeds, what's the matter, look at how Madame cleans you up!" ”

Naturally, when he went home, he wanted to meet his elders, Xu Rui didn't want to break the rules, and after countless blank eyes and bad words, he finally found Mrs. Yang's whereabouts, but he was stopped as soon as he came to the backyard.

He was stopped by a manager in his thirties, who seemed to have been waiting for him for a while.

"Madame said, she doesn't want to see you, go back."

The steward's tone was indifferent, and there was even no hiding disgust in his eyes, as if he was sending a dirty stray dog.

Xu Rui calmly arched his hand and asked, "Is this what Madame said?" ”

The steward was stunned for a moment, and snorted coldly: "Naturally not." ”

Xu Rui said: "I want to hear her words." ”

The steward scratched him: "What a cheap embryo, Madame's original words are disgusting when she sees you, you cheap bastard and dare to come back, if you are not busy with the funeral of the master, you will definitely break your dog's leg tonight to relieve your hatred!" ”

Hearing such vicious words, An Ge trembled with anger, but Xu Rui nodded calmly, arched his hand towards the steward, and said, "Got it." ”

Then he took An Ge and turned around and walked towards the courtyard where the people lived.

The steward saw the two leave, and walked away with a disdainful face.

Xu Rui's room is next to the stable, and in a room of less than five square meters, in addition to the stench of, there is only a box containing a few tattered clothes, and even the bed board has been removed, not to mention the cover or something, which looks very desolate in the long and harsh winter.

In fact, in addition to being impermeable to the wind, it is not even as good as An Ge and Zhen Niang's dwelling, you can imagine what life Xu Rui has been living before, no wonder he ran away from home and entered the dark chess.

The two teenagers hadn't eaten, and An Ge's stomach was already "growling" in protest.

Xu Rui took out the old clothes that had passed through the hole, spread them on the ground, and said apologetically: "I didn't expect you to suffer with me on the first day, I will suffer tonight first, and tomorrow the young master will take you to eat something good." ”

An Ge shook his head, and the evil anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

"Young master, it's common to be hungry, not to mention not eating a meal, what's the point if you don't eat for three days? I just don't understand, they are clearly bullying you, why don't you resist? ”

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Do you think the young master is the kind of coward who goes against the grain?" ”

An Ge pouted and said, "Of course I don't want you to be, but ...... Ay...... Don't talk about it......"

Seeing his angry look, Xu Rui suddenly burst out laughing.

With a smile, his face showed a touch of calmness: "Let me tell you a secret, young master, I have a principle - no matter who you are or what relationship you have with me, as long as you stand on the opposite side of me, you are the enemy, and for the enemy, either you die or I die!" ”

It was the first time for An Ge to see Xu Rui, who was gentle and gentle, showing such an expression, and couldn't help but tremble, and asked puzzledly: "But why does the young master tolerate them in every way?" ”

Xu Rui put away his fierce aura and changed back to a quiet and indifferent appearance.

"An Ge, have you ever heard an idiom called retreat?"

An Ge shook his head.

Xu Rui said: "In ancient times, there were hundreds of countries in the world, one of which was called Jin, and its prince Chong'er ran to Qin to escape persecution and was courteous by the monarch of Qin.

At the banquet, the monarch of the Qin State asked him, if you become the monarch of the Jin Kingdom one day, how will you repay me?

He said that if the two countries were at war, the army would retreat! (ninety miles).

Later, Chong'er really became the king of the Jin Kingdom, and the Qin and Jin countries really fought a battle in order to compete for hegemony in the world.

Qin thought that Chong'er could be bullied, so he lightly advanced the enemy and was defeated by Chong'er, and that battle was the famous Battle of Chengpu, and Chong'er also became the Duke of Jin Wen who dominated the world by virtue of this battle. ”

Seeing An Ge frowning and falling into deep thought, Xu Rui said again: "Actually, Chong'er retreating is not a promise, but an outright conspiracy.

Because the Jin army was not ready for war at that time, he retreated ninety miles not only to shorten the supply line and find favorable terrain, but also to confuse the enemy.

When the Qin army, which did not know the truth and reality, came to the door, it was natural that they could only return defeated.

In this world, there are many ways to fight, and it is stupid to use your fists directly, and the effect is not good, so you have to use your brains. ”

"I see!"

An Ge suddenly said: "The young master is also evasive to the Yang family, right?" ”

Xu Rui nodded and shook his head again.

"My father-in-law is kind to me, I promised before he died that he would ensure the stability of the Yang family for a lifetime, and since I promised it, I will definitely do it, so I can let them.

It's just that there are many interpretations of this kind of thing, wealth is stability, poverty is also stability, as long as they don't die, no matter how much sin they suffer, it is also stability, and how much stability they can have depends on how much ability I have, and how smart they are. ”

"In other words, when they touch the young master's bottom line and become enemies, they won't be so stable?"

An Ge seemed to gradually understand what the young master meant.

But Xu Rui shook his head: "Just because these orphans and widows of the Yang family are not worthy of being the enemies of the young master, it is not them who really make the young master retreat, but those who are waiting to see me make a fool of myself." ”

An Ge was taken aback: "There are still people waiting for the young master to make a fool of himself?" ”

Xu Rui smiled faintly: "If my guess is right, there should be countless pairs of eyes staring at me now, these eyes are good and evil, people with good intentions naturally want to make friends with them, and malicious people, I don't mind picking out their eyes!" ”
