According to the historical records of later generations, the ancestral home of the Mi family is Qu County, East Haihai. Four years after the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, Tao Qian was awarded the title of Xuzhou Assassin for his meritorious service in quelling the Yellow Turban.

Although Mi Fang did not have any strategy, he was a little brave, and he was good at bow and archery, so he entered Tao Qian's account together, and later when Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, the two of them voted for Liu Bei together.

Liu Tianhao originally thought so, since Tao Qian is still an official in Luoyang, Mi Zhu must not be out of office, so he should be able to find him when he goes to Qu County, Donghai, but he didn't expect that although the Mi family's old house is in Qu County, the family business is mainly in Xuzhou, and the Mi family has basically settled in Xuzhou.

It is also said that how could the largest merchant family in the late Han Dynasty be entrenched in a small Donghai County Qu County, and Xuzhou, which is adjacent to Donghai County Qu County, as one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, has an economic center position that the other twelve states cannot shake, so Xuzhou has naturally become the first choice for this super merchant family.

The trio rode side by side.

Liu Tianhao raised his head and asked, "Who were those people just now?" Why are you besieged? ”

Mi Fang smiled when she heard this, and explained the reason one by one,

"Although my Mi family is based in Xuzhou, the foundation is to make up the world. Last month, there was a batch of goods to be sent to the Mijia shop in Donglai County, which was not a big deal, but my little sister was stubborn, although she was not yet fifteen years old, but I didn't know where I heard that Donglai County was located on the coast of the East China Sea, and it was the middle of summer, so I begged my eldest brother to go to Donglai, my eldest brother couldn't twist and had to obey her, but he couldn't rest assured, so he told me to go with her to take care of her. ”

After Liu Tianhao heard Mi Fang say this, he smiled slightly.

The little sister Mi Fang said should be one of Liu Bei's second ladies in the future. When Zhao Yun shook the battle of Changbanpo, because there was only one horse, he only rescued Liu Adou in swaddling clothes, and the second lady of Gan Mi did not want to drag Zhao Yun down, so they all committed suicide by throwing themselves into the well, which shows that this Miss Mi must also be a chaste woman.

Now listening to Mi Fang's words, I think that this Miss Mi must be the pearl of the Mi family, otherwise, Mi Zhu would not be so obedient to her.

It's a pity that such a daughter, but later married Liu Bei, who was nearly forty years old, not only stuck to the family property, but accompanied Liu Bei all the way, and did not enjoy a few years of Qingfu, but ended up committing suicide by throwing herself into a well, which is really miserable.

At this time, Mi Fang continued,

"In the past month, my little sister can be regarded as having fun in Donglai, only her brother can listen to her words at home, she has been studying with her brother since she was a child, I don't like to read, she thinks I'm a rough person, and she doesn't listen to me at all. If you want me to say, the girl's family really can't study, and who can lower her if she marries her husband's family in the future, I think she will definitely suffer in the future. ”

Mi Fang hadn't finished speaking, but he remembered a silver bell in front of him,

"Second brother, it's just that you don't learn and don't know how to learn, why don't you let others study, what's wrong with girls studying? Isn't there still a female doctor in my Han Dynasty? If girls don't study, who will be a female doctor? The eldest brother said, our family can't do business all our lives, we must join the government. ”

When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly looked up. I found that in the carriage in front of me, a small hand lifted the curtain next to it at some point, and a small face was poking out from itself.

As soon as he saw the three of them, the little face immediately hid in the carriage and lowered the curtain to cover it.

With a quick glance, Liu Tianhao found that although this Miss Mi has not yet grown up, she already has the appearance of a captivating city.

Looking back at Mi Fang, he found that Mi Fang was also looking at him with a wry smile, and Liu Tianhao hurriedly smiled.

looked at Tai Shici on the other side, and found that this guy actually had a crimson face, still staring straight at the carriage in front of him, and he didn't realize that Miss Mi had already hid in. Liu Tianhao naturally did not break it.

Fortunately, Mi Fang and Tai Shi Ci walked on both sides of themselves, but Mi Fang did not find Tai Shi Ci's naivety.

Being interrupted by Miss Mi like this, Mi Fang couldn't help but be helpless and annoyed. However, there was no way to deal with this little ancestor of the Mi family, so he continued the topic just now,

"At noon today, we passed through Nalangya County, and after breakfast, we were about to continue our journey, but we found that there were a few ragged people in front of the inn who were sneakily pointing at us. I didn't think they were villains, so I didn't take it to heart, I didn't think about it, just two hours after walking, when I happened to pass through this mountain forest, the group of people just now came out. ”

After speaking, he glanced at the carriage in front of him and continued.

"I was going to let the servants who drove the car at home take my little sister first, and I stayed behind to fight for them to buy time, but I didn't expect that after a fight, I found that these people were all only three-legged cat kung fu, and the servants in front of me saw that I was not left behind, but they also stopped to watch the battle."

Liu Tianhao heard Mi Fang say that the dozen or so people could only do three-legged cat kung fu, but he didn't feel that his old face was red, and he thought, now I can't even deal with three-legged cat kung fu.

Mi Fang didn't know what Liu Tianhao was thinking, and continued,

"While grappling and thinking, this group must be the ones who followed us at noon. It should be a poor family who fell into the grass, and he didn't even have a guy with everything, so he couldn't bear to be a killer, and only planned to knock them out one by one, but he didn't expect that the two of them arrived at this time, and Ziyi rushed up, but scared them away, which can be regarded as auspicious. ”

Liu Tianhao heard Mi Fang say this, and couldn't help but look at Mi Fang again.

Mi Fang looks like he is in his early twenties, although he claims that he doesn't like to read, Liu Tianhao speculates that he must have read it, at least he feels that Mi Fang knows about Confucian etiquette, righteousness, honesty, shame, faith, filial piety, and honesty. More than a dozen people are besieging him, and they can judge good and evil through the other party's costumes, and they are generous enough to let them go. You must know that this era is not so tolerant and generous, didn't Confucius once said: repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue?

At this time, Mi Fang continued, "Brother Tianhao don't be surprised, my Mi family started from scratch, relying on earning money from the people of the Han world, although it is a fair deal, I still have an apology in my heart, so I will have that action." ”

Mi Fang's words deeply shook Liu Tianhao, and in the eyes of future generations, this view is called moral cost. Now that even a rough person like Mi Fang is aware of this, then Mi Zhu will definitely think the same way, and all the businessmen in the Han Dynasty may think so.

Liu Tianhao is more sure of his plan.

Along the way, Liu Tianhao and Tai Shici really learned Miss Mi's cunning and cleverness.

In the evening of the same day, when she checked into the inn for dinner, Mi Fang didn't want Miss Mi to dine at the same table with everyone. Because, in this era, although girls don't have to go out of the house, they still don't want to eat at the same table with men.

However, after Miss Mi heard about Liu Tianhao's background, she was very curious, so she stubbornly foiled Mi Fang's discipline. Mi Fang really couldn't hold her anymore, so she had to get rid of her little sister.

Of course, everyone was divided into several tables, Liu Tianhao, Tai Shici, Mi Fang, and Mi Zhen brothers and sisters had one table, and the servants of the Mi family were at three or two tables next door. This should be paid without Liu Tianhao and Tai Shici, Mi Fang covers it all.

Miss Mi, a single name and a chastity character, this is consistent with what has been passed down in later generations. Mi Zhen should have read some poetry books, but most of her interests are anecdotes, so she often asks Liu Tianhao all kinds of tricky questions.

Liu Tianhao reported himself to his family before, claiming that he was born in the Guigu lineage, of course, he couldn't weaken his momentum, so he would always give answers to some of Mi Zhen's questions, even if some questions were not very clear occasionally, he could prevaricate according to his messy knowledge.

Mi Zhen convinced Liu Tianhao, and settled down steadily and honestly in the next few days.

Before he arrived at Xiapi, he encountered a group of robbers who blocked the road.

This group of people is not like the group I met in Langya a few days ago, there are more than 20 people, all of whom are armed with Pu knives, but there are no horses. Even so, these twenty or so people are not something that Mi Fang can deal with.

Mi Fang actually didn't go through any killing formations, and his hand and foot kung fu were all learned at home, but this gang of bandits seemed to be experienced in actual combat, and they looked very ferocious, like a pack of wolves, and attacked Mi Fang who rushed forward, and Mi Fang was in danger several times in less than a few rounds.

At the beginning, Mi Fang had never seen Liu Tianhao and Tai Shi Ci make a move, so she didn't know the depth of these two people at all, so she just troubled the two of them to help take care of the carriage, and rushed forward single-handedly.

Seeing that Mi Fang was about to die, Liu Tianhao immediately ordered Tai Shici to go up to help, and still told him to hurt as few lives as possible.

After Tai Shi Ci got the order, he immediately whipped his horse and rushed forward, an iron spear flew up and down, sharp but not hurting, only picked up the Pu knife in their hands, and then slapped the arms and backs of these people with the barrel of the gun, and the strength was also somewhat restrained, and it would not hurt the root of those people.

After a while, the twenty or so people were pumped out, and a few of them didn't believe in evil, picked up the Pu knife that fell to the ground, and continued to pounce on it, but in less than a round, the Pu knife was pulled out of his hand again. The gang of bandits finally realized that they had encountered a hard idea, and Pu Dao didn't want it, so they scattered with their heads in their hands, and only for a short time, they escaped completely.

Mi Fang next to her saw Tai Shi Ci's trick on the group of thieves, and immediately knew that she had underestimated Tai Shi Ci before, and hurriedly thanked her,

"Ziyi is really a young hero, if it weren't for Ziyi's timely help, I would definitely have made a mistake this time."

Tai Shi Ci hurriedly returned the salute, "It's just a trivial matter, why worry about it, these reckless people can be destroyed with a flip." If it weren't for my lord's orders, how could they have escaped? Even if I don't make a move, Brother Tai will definitely fight them off safely. Tai Shici's words didn't mean to show off his might, to him, these people were indeed like mustard.

But he didn't expect that this performance would bring him a series of troubles.

Liu Tianhao inadvertently turned his head and found that Mi Zhen didn't know when, so he stuck his head out of the carriage window again, staring at Tai Shici who had just finished the battle in front of him in a daze, and his cheeks were flying......

After such a play, Liu Tianhao and their later all the way to Xuzhou were still peaceful.

However, Tai Shi Ci is not very peaceful, Mi Zhen has not pestered Liu Tianhao since that day, and began to pick up Tai Shi Ci.

Liu Tianhao is also angry, whether it is Tai Shi Ci hunting, or fierce fighting bandits, that is called heroism. Now that I have met this Miss Mi Zhenmi, I have no trace of all my abilities.

At first, when Mi Zhen talked to him, she was still a little shy and redlushed, but later found that Tai Shi Ci was even more shy than her, so she immediately revealed her true nature and teased Tai Shi Ci so much that she couldn't wait to hug her head. caused Liu Tianhao and Mi Fang to laugh, and even the servants of the Mi family often laughed.

Later, Mi Zhen simply pestered Mi Fang to get out of the carriage and ride a horse with them, so Liu Tianhao, Mi Fang, and Tai Shici definitely couldn't agree.

Why Mi Fang and Tai Shici think so is self-explanatory. Liu Tianhao is a bit psychological, doesn't it mean that everyone in ancient times was gentle and virtuous? Why can this Mi Zhen still ride a horse? At this moment, Liu Tianhao rushed to a trace of inferiority and chagrin, it seems that he has to work harder, not to charge into battle, at least to be skilled in bowing and horses.

The three of them are united, and they can't resist Mi Zhen's trickery.

Fortunately, when they arrived in Xuzhou City, Liu Tianhao and the three of them were relieved.

From the outside of the city, Xuzhou City is not as magnificent and majestic as Liu Tianhao imagined. Originally, he thought that Xuzhou, as one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty and a hub of economic exchanges, should have high walls and deep ravines, but he didn't think that the city wall of Xuzhou was only four meters high, and from a distance, it was only one or two kilometers wide.

The gatekeeper should be very familiar with the Mi family, and after Mi Fang asked the servants to pay the customs clearance fee, he didn't check one or two, and let them into the city. When Liu Tianhao left Huang County, with the help of Tai Shici, he went to the county government to handle his identity documents.

When passing through the gate of Xuzhou, Liu Tianhao thought to himself: This should be the last period of peace! Nowadays, the city gate of Xuzhou can still be opened during the day, and only a small official with a soldier of the army, interrogation at the city gate for fees, interrogation is not very detailed, and so two years later, when the yellow scarf is chaotic, these large and small cities are estimated to be closed day and night.
