The two met eye to eye, and the room was quietly heard even the needle dropped. Mother Gui stood at the door, listening to the two people talking, but suddenly it was quiet in this meeting. When I listened carefully, there was still no sound, and I was a little worried. People were busy bringing a pot of fruit, and then shouted: "Girl, the crane head melon is cut, I'll bring it in."
Mother Gui brought the head of the crane into the house and found that neither Yuxi nor Yuchen had spoken, she was very puzzled. It was just that she heard Yuchen let her go down, and she couldn't stay anymore.
After Yuxi waited for Mother Gui to go down, a smile appeared on her face and said, "Sister Sister thinks too much. I think the history books and the art of war are very interesting."
Yuchen didn’t circumvent this meeting, and said straight to Yuxi: “Four sisters, it’s okay to read history books and art of war as free books, but there are some things that we shouldn’t be contaminated. If grandmother tells his father, it doesn’t mean they don’t. I know." Yuchen is not opposed to reading history books, because she also reads history books, but reading military books is a bit problematic. After reading these books, Yuxi often went to the elder brother's yard. Grandmother and father knew what to do, but Yuxi thought it was secret.
When it comes to this, it's boring to pretend to be stupid. Yuxi laughed at herself: "Unexpectedly, I just went to the eldest brother's place a few more times, so that my grandmother and father would pay attention to it." There is really nothing secretive about her here.
Yuxi never thought of hiding anything from the old lady and Han Jingyan, but Yuchen's words reminded her today. Her life and death are still in the hands of the old lady and Han Jingyan. Even if the eldest aunt and the eldest brother are backing her, if they really want to do anything to her, she can only accept it, and can't resist. After a long time of ease, she lost her sense of crisis.
Seeing the sarcasm on Yuxi’s face, Yuchen was also a little confused in her heart: "Sister Si, I’m doing it for your own good. Once something gets contaminated, you can’t get rid of it." She doesn’t know where Yuxi is going. What did the eldest brother do, but what is certain is that it will not be a good thing, at least not a good thing for Yuxi.
Yuxi said sincerely: "Sanjie, thank you." Yuchen was able to tell her such a call today and teach her how to play the flute, which is indeed for her sincerely. But she also knew that compared with the old lady and Han Jingyan, she had to lean back. Because of this, she would never have a heart-to-heart relationship with Yuchen, because the two of them are not the same.
Yuchen didn't need Yuxi's gratitude: "Sister Si, I hope you don't go to Big Brother again in the future. Big Brother is a person who does great things, and what he does is not something we can contaminate."
Yuxi smiled and nodded and said: "I see." No matter what Yuchen does, it is good, and no matter what she does is wrong, it is not intentional. Although helpless, this is the reality, and she no longer wants to explain it because it is unnecessary. Yuxi did not stay in Tingyun Pavilion for dinner, but returned to Tao Ranju.
When Grandma Gui watched Yuxi going out, she looked solemn and asked Yuchen: "Girl, what's wrong with the fourth girl?"
Yuchen sighed slightly: "I said she shouldn't go to the elder brother's side often, she may be uncomfortable!" From the matter of the county lord Heshou, we can see that the eldest brother acted too eagerly and did not consider the consequences at all. If not, Jianjun and Jiancheng are still in bed until now. She was really worried that Yuxi had stayed with her eldest brother for a long time, and she became very aggressive.
Mother Gui bluffed; "Girl, why did you tell the fourth girl about this? You said that, the fourth girl is still not angry to death?" Anyone who knows that his privacy has been spied on will not be happy .
Yuchen smiled bitterly: "I also hope that she will not go on a crooked road. The fourth sister is confused, the eldest brother is the son of the world, he can make mistakes, he can correct mistakes, but she can't! And if people know that she will follow The eldest brother learns the tricks of tactics, and who would dare to marry her in the future." At that time, she was shocked when she heard Mother Gui's guess. She also endured it for a long time, but in the end she couldn't resist the worry in her heart and had a showdown with Yuxi.
Grandma Gui knew that Yuchen really treated Yuxi as her own sister, or she wouldn’t have worked so hard: "I hope the four girls can understand your painstaking efforts." Grandma Gui really feels that Yuxi does not know her. The girl did this for her.
Coincidentally, Yuxi just ran out of dinner. Han Jianming sent someone over and called Yuxi to the study, saying that he had something to do with her.
Seeing that Yuxi's face was wrong, Han Jianming asked in amazement: "What's wrong? His face is so ugly? Is he uncomfortable?"
Yuxi shook her head and said: "The third sister told me today that my grandmother and my father already knew that I was learning the tricks of eldest brother. She persuaded me not to learn these things from elder brother anymore, which would be harmful to me." Yuchen said. Yes, a woman is too smart, and she is smart and revealing, it will indeed arouse people's suspicion and defensiveness. She didn't expect this before, but it was her negligence.
Han Jianming laughed: "Why, I'm afraid? I want to retreat?" Yuxi was learning right, but not learning from him, but putting what he learned into practice. It's just that he didn't tell anyone, not even his grandmother.
Yuxi was silent for a while and said, "I don't want to retreat, but I don't want to be noticeable. I am a woman, not a man, so that people know that I'm learning these things are harmful to me, and it's even harder to talk about them in the future." She can study and study in private, and she doesn't necessarily have to come to her eldest brother to save attention. She hadn't thought about everything before, and she didn't expect to have such a big problem.
Han Jianming didn't say anything, turned around and took out a brocade box from the shelf. Yuxi thought it was a rare treasure, but did not expect that the brocade box contained a map.
Yuxi was a little baffled, what to do with a map.
Han Jianming spread the map out on the desk, and pressed the four corners of the map with paperweights and inkstones. He drew a circle with his finger and said, "This is the Liaodong region."
Yuxi looked at Han Jianming, wondering what he told himself what Liaodong did.
Han Jianming pointed to the place marked with the red dot, and said, "This is Tongcheng, and Donghu people are outside Tongcheng. In the past few years, because of the struggle for the throne, Donghu's internal turmoil continued. Just more than a month ago, the new king of Donghu had settled the internal turmoil. Liaodong, there will be no more peace in the future."
Yuxi couldn't help asking, "What does this have to do with me?"
Han Jianming didn’t respond to Yuxi’s words, he scribbled over, circled another place, then pointed to a red dot, and said, “This is the border town of Yucheng in the northwest. Outside Yucheng is the northern captive. Every spring and autumn, The northern captives would go to the border city to burn, kill, and torture. But the fighting over there has been unsatisfactory, with countless casualties."
Yuxi understands this. The so-called unsatisfactory is to lose more and lose less. As Han Jianming pointed to the southwest, Yuxi couldn't help but ask, "It's not peaceful there?"
Han Jianming shook his head and said: "The Miao and Qiang Rong people in the southwest have turned against each other. The imperial court dispatched a hundred thousand troops. Not only did they not eliminate this band of rebels, but the entire army was wiped out."
Yuxi opened his mouth: "Is the court's army so useless?" The Miao and Qiang Rong people are both ethnic minorities, and their populations are small. How bad these troops are, they have fallen into such a field.
Han Jianming said: “The imperial government’s taxes are getting less and less year by year, but the expenditures are more and more year by year.” After a pause, Han Jianming said: “The expenditures of the emperor and the harem accounted for one-fifth of the annual taxes. one."
Yuxi let out a sigh of relief. Even if she is not an official of the court, she also knows that taxes from the national treasury should be used for military salaries, government salaries, and agricultural water conservancy. The emperor and the harem used only one-fifth. Where can the remaining money be used by the court? However, Yuxi ignored the latter sentence directly, and attention was useless. No one dared to dispute how much the emperor Laozi spent: "Why is the tax less and less, and where is the money?"
Han Jianming said: "They were all corrupted by corrupt officials."
Yuxi often reads history books, and there are also records of peasant uprisings in history books. Which peasants are unable to survive because of corrupt officials and levies. For these people, there is no way to survive anyway, and the rebellion may have a bloody way out, so they set off: "Doesn't the people want to rebel if they don't have a way to survive?"
Han Jianming felt that Yuxi’s history books were not in vain: “At the beginning of the year, Henan was rebelled because of corrupt officials and excessive recruitment, but those people were all killed by the court’s army.”
Yuxi was a little horrified: "How come I haven't heard of such a big thing?" After speaking, she knew she was silly, and she gave a wry smile. Although the matter was serious, it was not revealed because it was not a glorious matter. She was a daughter of a boudoir who hadn't heard of it, and it was normal.
After listening to all this, Yuxi seemed to understand what Han Jianming was going to say to her: "What the big brother meant, the world is going to be in chaos?"
Han Jianming shook his head and said, "It's not enough. But if this continues, the world will be in chaos sooner or later." He was worried about the chaos in the future, so he wanted Han Jianye to marry the girl from the Lu family. Really wait until the world is in chaos, only by holding military power, can you protect your family and yourself.
Yuxi thought for a while and said, "I have seen the Ninth Prince. He is a very powerful person. If he succeeds, he should be able to control the situation!"
Han Jianming also knows that the Ninth Prince is a very skilled person: "No one knows the future. Whether the Ninth Prince can successfully ascend to the throne is a question." At this point, the conversation turned and asked. : "After listening so much, what do you think?"
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Nothing. The world is going to be messed up too far away from me, even if it's really temporary, it won't affect me. But if I don't shy away from it, if I provoke my grandmother and my dad, I can't eat it. Let’s go. Brother, I won’t be able to come to you often in the future.” The old lady of taboo and Han Jingyan are next, mainly because Yuxi is worried about the exposed edge, and it is difficult to talk to each other at that time. The memorization of medical records and the study of tactics are for precautions. Deep down in Yuxi's heart, she still hopes that she can marry a good family and live a life of a husband and a child.
As for the chaos in the world, she didn't get messed up when she died in her last life. Well, although there are refugees everywhere, the capital is still peaceful.
Han Jianming didn’t force it, he smiled and said, “But it’s okay.” After speaking, he handed a few books on the desk to Yuxi, and said, “Take these books back and read them. Let me know when I finish reading them. . I'll change it for you again."
Yuxi took a few books with both hands, and nodded without reading what it was, "Okay, I'll read it when I go back."
ps: O(∩_∩)O~, everyone guesses, what book did the eldest brother give Yuxi
