Xu Tianxin is not worried about her single tax, starting from the age of sixteen, it will increase year after year, and she can afford to pay that little bit of three melons and two dates.

But she was worried about the marriages of girls over the age of sixteen in the village.

If you don't meet the right other half, don't you have to get married?

And if you don't get married, how many parents will really be willing to pay this money to their daughters. A family of dozens of people, other relatives will not have complaints.

Unless, the value created by the daughters' families is greater than this tax-paying silver tael.

Xu Tianxin was thinking about what he could do for these daughters' families, and he could help one by one without affecting himself.

Probably thinking too much, the book in Xu Tianxin's hand slipped down.

Jiubao hurriedly stepped forward, especially precious, and wiped the snowflakes on it with his sleeve.

"I'm sorry. He dropped the book given by the general to the ground. Xu Tianxin was polite and quickly apologized.

Here, the royal gift has to be offered, and the incense is offered several times a day. If you are slightly disrespectful, there is a crime called great disrespect, and you will be beheaded.

In the same way, Huo Yunqian has such a big official gift, she should also be cautious.

In fact, being able to meet an official of Huo Yunqian's status and become a guest of honor, in the eyes of outsiders, it is already a manifestation of the smoke from the ancestral tomb. Not to mention getting the books given by her own hands, in exchange for others to be grateful to Dade, she also dropped it on the ground, which is really inappropriate.

Jiubao saw that Xu Tianxin had misunderstood.

He behaved like this, not because he felt that the book had offended his master.

It's that this set of books is really precious.

"The girl didn't know that this set of books was not in circulation, and it was not something that could be bought for much gold or silver. It is said that the contents of it are unique. Even a few serious masters of the Huo family, if they want to keep this set of books by their side, they also need to copy it word by word. The original version is in the library building of the Huo family's ancestral home. And the book in your hand was copied by the general, a total of seven copies. ”

When Xu Tianxin heard this, he hurriedly retrieved the book from Jiubao's hand.

She grabbed the oil-paper umbrella between her neck, and while turning the two pages, she asked Jiubao in a very shocked tone: "Then why did the general give it to me?" ”

Jiubao thought to himself: If only I knew the reason.

Otherwise, why would he guess the young master's thoughts about Miss Xu, such books can be lent out, this is very abnormal.

Xu Tianxin asked: "Then who is the author of this original book?" ”

Jiubao looked at the snowflakes fluttering in the distance and decided to tell the truth.

"I don't know girl, do you know some rumors about the change of imperial power in this dynasty?"

When Xu Tianxin was in Fucheng, he really heard a few words. It's just that the people sigh, and it's very vague to mention it. Otherwise, I dare not say more about the history of the next generation.

But after hearing these few words, and then connecting with Bai Muyan in the same car last time, the two of them took advantage of no one to hear, and gossiped about the doctor, and then gossiped from the doctor to political affairs.

Sure enough, there can't be two kinds of people in a car, if she and Bai Muyan are really talking nonsense, they can chat for a night.

I also heard that the current emperor is not the heir of the Eight Classics.

The last emperor was his elder brother, who only reigned for six years before he died.

In the past few years, he was lenient and generous, appointed capable ministers, and devoted himself to solving the southern and northern captives.

The royal secret, I don't know if it was the reform that moved the family's big pastry, so that his brother, the current emperor, along with several rebellious cabinets, died at the hands of the cabinet. Or is it true that he died on a woman as rumored.

In short, in just a lifetime, the previous emperor was full of ambitions, and he disappeared without leaving a son and a half daughter. His younger brother took advantage of the chaos to ascend the throne.

"I've heard a few words."

Jiubao sighed first, this is not an ordinary girl, messy things, she is obviously in the countryside, but she will still understand. That's good, the girl can understand what is going on.

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier, he was demoted to several courtiers, and a bachelor who was in prison for eight years. Although the Huo family is in the world, in order to avoid this encounter, they also rushed back to their ancestral hometown.

Even in this case, the Huo family did not sit idly by.

Because the old lady once commented that they are all Hongyi people who can be broken and cannot be changed, and bamboo can be burned but cannot be destroyed.

Therefore, the Huo family tried everything to protect those who could serve others and be above board, and funded another way out.

So that their time after that was not wasted, and they could finally get their wish in adversity.

These people are also willing to use their life's wisdom for Huaxia even after they don't have any official names. ”

Jiubao pointed to the book in Xu Tianxin's hand:

"It's a book.

This set of books was written by 27 strange people who traveled all over the country.

The little ones are not as lucky as the girls and are qualified to flip through them. But the little ones have heard of it. In fact, the girl didn't know, and I heard that not ordinary people could listen to it, and I was very lucky.

This set of books records the geology of the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in China, as well as the ins and outs of 137 major rivers, and there are more than 60 waterfall scenes.

Describe the wonderful pen as if you were there.

So this set of books is the real Kyushu travelogue.

And some of them are no longer alive.

However, our young master said that although the body is dead, the name can be hung on the bamboo silk. Death is not the end, forgetting is, the book is still there, they are still there. ”

Xu Tianxin was silent.

The Huo family funded this matter, what kind of merit is this.

Let these green mountains and green waters be domesticated into lines of text and passed on to future generations.

Xu Tianxin also thought of a piece of history that she hated in modern times, it is said that in that dynasty that is not empty, after our canon was snatched away, the whale fell in the east, and everything in the west was born.

Books represent thousands of years of wisdom and inheritance broken, no one knows how many people's wisdom has been gathered behind the country's unparalleled warriors and how difficult it is to prosper the country, and how many historical records have been left to future generations. Just like these 27 book writers, the rivers and lakes recorded are all painstaking efforts.

And what Jiubao didn't say was that he guessed that the gold mine of Jiapigou was left to the Huo family by those capable heroes.

After all, the emperor can be changed, but the frontier cannot be broken.

It can be seen that the Huo family has long mastered a lot of minerals, and if they wanted to, they would have rebelled a long time ago, but they still haven't.

Even this time when I started the clamping ditch, I was forced to have to move.

Because of the old fool today, the people of Jincheng took the Zhangku Avenue at the east entrance, which was the fortress trade road leading to Kulun (Ulaanbaatar), which extended to the lower reaches of the Selenga River basin all the way north. is so important, the emperor sent a favorite concubine father who is nothing to guard.

Once lost, what is the use of their Zhenbei army defending here.

Make a gap from that side, and then go to the rescue or continue to guard? You must know that Saiwai has always been a wolf's ambition, and has been in a life-and-death game with the Central Plains for thousands of years. Which dynasty they all came to kill, injure and rob, how could they stop their aggression because of the mutual market.

The young master of his family was already under tremendous pressure.

It's not messy enough today, and the officials who are called helping, but in fact, the eyeliner is about to be in place.

But at this time, Jiubao didn't say anything, but Xu Tianxin's hand flipping through the book was stunned.

It turned out that the Huo family was much more loyal to this dynasty than she imagined.

"Dare to ask, I don't know if it's inconvenient, can you tell me about the situation of several heads of the Huo family."

Jiubao told Xu Tianxin that it was not a secret, and the old lady was enjoying his old age in his ancestral hometown.

It was also from that time that these 27 former officials were sponsored to travel all over the country to write books. But he died fifteen years ago.

And the lord of the raider, that is, the father of the eldest young master, the second young master, and the third young master, died in battle ten years ago. The mothers of the three young masters have also passed away.

The eldest young master was involved in the battle eight years ago, and Xu Tianxin's father was disabled.

The second young master is physically weak, but he is extremely talented, and he is currently studying history in the capital.

The third young master is Huo Yunqian.

The third son of the Huo family, who is very famous.

At present, the Huo family is the eldest young master.

In addition, there are two grandchildren, and Huo Yunqian's two uncles have not returned home for several years. One is still training in the elderly, and the other is guarding the place where the biogas is constantly growing, and it is Huo Yunqian's father's stall before his death, but the official rank is demoted.

The fourth young master and the fifth young master from the two-room branch, one is from the text, the other is young, and there is also an uncle in the two-room room.

Many people have lamented that the Huo family has suffered a big loss if they do not marry with the royal family.

But I also sincerely admire that the Huo family has become a hairpin family, all because of their outstanding military exploits.

"When the little one was six years old, he begged to come to the old lady, and would rather be punished to kneel for two nights, and he would rather be assigned to serve the young master of our family, or else he would be assigned to another room for me. Girl, can you guess why? ”

"The general is very favored at home?"

"No, the general was beaten the most at home when he was a child, and he was strong."

Xu Tianxin listened to the music.

Jiubao regretted how to talk about this casually.

Then he seriously told Xu Tianxindao: It is only with Huo Yunqian that it is the most promising. The little guy in the other courtyard is at most a housekeeper, so it's easy to use.

But the master of his family will never restrict and restrain their development because it is easy to use.

Many times, I will take them to practice martial arts and calligraphy together.

If these people who can be used are really talented in leading troops to fight, in their young master, they can become generals or handsome talents. In the past, their generals were close to them, but now they are a general.

Don't underestimate this, it's hard for the master to do it to this extent.

Responsibility, responsibility, mind, vision, it determines what kind of master this is.

Jiubao wanted to use himself to tell Miss Xu in disguise not to be afraid of their young master. For example, if you find something and find something, tell it directly, don't have scruples in the future, because the young master can think more than everyone thinks.

"No wonder, you don't look like little guys, but like guards. I still wonder how the general's side is full of personal guards, I see. ”

Jiubao: "......"

That's it, no other compliments?

Yes.

Xu Tianxin thought to himself: Lao Tzu said that virtue is not virtue is virtue, and virtue is not lost virtue, but virtue is no virtue. A person with high morals is virtuous because he does not pursue form. Just like the first time he met General Huo, he lived in a cave, and he didn't put on a score. People with low morals pursue formality, so there is no actual virtue.

General Huo is indeed much more enlightened than she imagined.

In her heart, he slowly became a flesh-and-blood person, and it was no longer a rumor that he was on top.

I also feel fortunate that Northland is controlled by such officials. Blessed are the common people.

……

"No need to be polite......"

Huo Yunqian put down the official document and walked out as he paced.

He looked at Xu Tianxin, who was standing beside Mrs. Xu, and had some doubts in his heart.

What happened to Xu Tianxin when he just went to invite someone, how did he go out for a walk, and when he came back, he became respectful to him?

He should be right, he is very respectful.

The expression was respectful.

"General, the people's daughter will definitely read the book well, and only the people's daughter and the people's grandmother will know, and no one will borrow it. The folk girl saluted you again, thank you. ”

Huo Yunqian immediately understood, this is knowing the preciousness of books.

It seems to be Jiubao's mouth.

Then what should he say, you're welcome, this is what you should be thankful for.

Or rather, look at it and hope you learn something.

It doesn't matter if you can't learn it, your two little short legs may not have the opportunity to travel all over Kyushu, just to appreciate it.

In fact, Huo Yunqian didn't say anything, and directly waved his hand to ask Xu Tianxin to step back first and go outside to eat snacks first.

And at this side, the first thing Mrs. Xu did when she saw Huo Yunqian, she also hurriedly saluted and explained:

"General, the women of the people are really blind. If it weren't for the granddaughter of the people's woman, she just whispered to me that it was you, and the woman wouldn't recognize it. People say that a gentleman loves money, and there is a way to take it, but this way, after a long time, the women don't know it. I don't know it's you, so I dare to sit on the ground and raise the price. What an offense to you. ”

Huo Yunqian pointed to the chair in front of him and asked him to sit down first.

Whether it was just known or guessed, this was not important in Huo Yunqian's eyes.

Born a layman, he likes gold and silver treasures, and his eyes light up when he hears it, this is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with that. Clearly love money, and make money generously.

And in the next half an hour, Mrs. Xu no longer explained the topic of four hundred taels, and asked the general directly, and she answered whatever she wanted.

First, answer the question of Xu Tianxin's education.

Mrs. Xu said that some of her educational ideas were reported, but her tone seemed to be sharing.

Not to mention that she has to be a modern person, she is not very afraid of Huo Yunqian's thoughts.

In the end, Mrs. Xu even mentioned:

"Even if there is a granddaughter of the heavenly women, since then she has given flowers to herself, and she has stepped on the flowers to freedom, she can live as much as she wants, and the women all agree."

Huo Yunqian: "......" No wonder Xu Tianxin is such a personality.

"Of course, the general said that you want her to be defensive, you don't know how moved the people's women are when they hear it. Alas, thank you very much, this kid is a great blessing, and there are many big officials like you who are sheltered, before General Jia, General Lu...... The women don't know how to speak official language, but the women understand that they will strengthen these things for her in the future. ”

Mrs. Xu also explained that when her granddaughter came to see the general, she was not dressed properly enough, because the cloth that her children would get was distributed to other working girls in the village. Tell us the truth, goodness and beauty of our children in disguise.

The clothes in front of me were still blown up with big holes and small eyes, and the old lady at home was busy sewing new clothes all day long, and she couldn't sew them at all.

Huo Yunqian understood that Xu Tianxin was not wrong from beginning to end, and if there was a mistake, it would depend on his grandmother and three uncles.

And Mrs. Xu's eloquent talk made Huo Yunqian can't help but ask about the situation of Erdaohe.

"Or else...... The general went into the village with the women to see? ”

Huo Yunqian didn't talk enough with Mrs. Xu, and he had more common topics than Xu Tianxin, "Okay." ”

"That folk woman is still called General Mu Gongzi, I don't know if it's feasible?" Mrs. Xu stood up and asked, don't we want to hide our identity.

"Okay."

Xu Tianxin and Jiubao outside, looking at Mrs. Xu, who was not nervous at all all the way and kept introducing the situation to Huo Yunqian, were silent.
