Jiaohua

Chapter 311
The clamor of the crowd grew louder and louder.

The officers and soldiers took out their whips. This time, some people ran away while others kept them. A few bad-tempered men even went to grab the guards' whips, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

A guard ran over and asked Liang Nai and Lu Ronghui to go first, lest these irrational people would rush over.

Lu Ronghui looked at the woman who had been struggling.

Take the woman back, and the evil boy said he would kill their whole family.

But if they let it go like this, the emperor will pursue it afterwards, and they will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Lu Ronghui didn't want to bother, she sat upright on the carriage and threw the hot potato to Liang Nai.

Liang Naiyi gritted his teeth, looked at the two guards over there, raised his voice and said, "Take care of this bitch for me, if you lose it, I'll ask you to settle the score!"

After speaking, he quickly winked and asked them to let him go.

The guard hesitated, but finally let go of his grip.

The woman immediately pushed them away, turned and ran.

The two guards were stunned for a moment, and one suddenly bent his legs, stretched out his hand to cover his crotch, and jumped several times: "It hurts! It hurts!"

The other one reacted, not to be outdone, clutching his stomach and rolling on the ground: "Oh, my lord, she ran away!"

"Useless trash!" Liang Nai exclaimed angrily, stretching out his finger, "Don't chase after him!"

In my heart, I quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Ronghui was on the carriage, took a candied fruit and put it in his mouth, the sweetness spread in his mouth, he closed his eyes, he couldn't hear or see.

An Yudao came back from the outside with big strides, and ran towards An Qiuwan's compound as soon as he entered the mansion.

"Father, something happened again!"

It was getting late, bright lights hung high in the spacious big room, and the floor covered with pine and brocade soft blankets was burning with hot earth dragons. The surrounding windows were wide open, and the cold wind poured in, but it was comfortable and cool.

An Qiuwan sat on the ground, leaned against the short side, raised her head from the book, looked at the second son who was rushing outside the door, and said in a low voice: "One day, two days, three days, accidents happen every day."

An Yuchi and An Yuping were on the other side of An Qiuwan. They looked up and said nothing.

An Yudao stepped over the threshold, came in and told what happened on the street just now, and then said: "It is said that many people shouted... the dog emperor."

Even if this is the inner courtyard of An's family, these three big characters An Yudao dare not say it easily.

"The dog emperor," An Qiuwan laughed, "you can scold him as much as you want, can you really scold him like a dog?"

An Yuping frowned and looked at him.

"What's the situation outside now?" An Yuchi asked.

"There was no big collision, and the nearby patrolling guards rushed over immediately. Lu Ronghui and Liang Nai have probably arrived at Yanyunwei Mansion by now, but if this news is sent to the palace, I'm afraid the emperor will be furious."

An Yuchi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It's really an eventful autumn, it's almost the beginning of winter, and there are so many events."

An Qiuwan smiled again, raised her withered hand to gently smooth the pages of the book, and said, "People who are incompetent are always furious, and those who are not capable will be furious all day long."

The sons were taken aback.

"Father." An Yuping called out softly.

"Did you say something wrong for your father?" An Qiuwan looked at him, "Our emperor will stop losing his temper someday, but did he lose his temper at the people who made him lose his temper? No, he He will only attack those poor eunuchs around him and the women who let him play to his heart's content."

"Father, you were not like this before," An Yuping said, "What you said recently seems to be more and more..."

"Mean?" An Qiuwan said.

An Yuping paused, and hurriedly bowed his head: "My child has never said such a thing!"

An Qiuwan smiled and looked up out of the window.

The wind blew the branches outside the window and danced wildly, and the shadow of the moon was whirling. He sent away all the servants nearby. Now, in the entire compound, except for their father and son, only the old housekeeper Yu Nan was left waiting for orders at the gate of the compound. up.

"It's about time," An Qiuwan said, "After talking about panic all my life, doing things against my will all my life, and vomiting out what I want to say before I die, it will be a great joy in my life."

"Father, what nonsense!" An Yuping said hastily.

An Yuchi and An Yudao bowed their heads, looked pitiful, and did not speak.

An Qiuwan took off the emerald green jade wrench finger from his hand. Under the light, the wrench finger was brightly shiny, and there were sharp edges flashing when turning it.

An Qiuwan gently placed it in front of An Yuchi: "Da Lang."

An Yu clenched his fingers on his lap into fists, trembling slightly, and said in pain, "Father, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

"It's a pity that Shiro and Qilang are not in the capital," An Qiuwan said, "My aunt had a difficult labor and she left too early. Si Niang and Liu Niang haven't seen each other for two years."

An Yuping heard something was wrong, looked at An Yuchi and An Yu and said, "Big Brother, Second Brother?"

An Yuchi and An Yudao glanced at him but didn't speak.

An Yuping looked back at An Qiuwan: "What's wrong with father, why did you say this today?"

"Don't be impatient, Ping'er," An Qiuwan said seriously, "Where is the usual calmness, and the air is like this?"

He looked at An Yuchi: "Da Lang, put it on."

"Father..." An Yuchi frowned.

"I've been rambling all my life, I don't want to say too much today," An Qiuwan looked at the book and said calmly, "I only want to say three points for my father, you brothers listen carefully."

The room fell silent, and the An family's sons looked at their father quietly.

Under the light of the fire, An Qiuwan's face looked as old as an 80-year-old man, full of gullies, and in just a few days, there was no longer a single black strand in his hair.

An Qiuwan looked at them and said: "First, the royal family is not the world, but the people in the world are the world. 'Son of Heaven' is just a self-deceiving rhetoric for the foolish people and the emperor. One of the ancestral mottos of my An family has the saying 'loyalty to the emperor and all virtuousness'. If you say this, you can fart. We are loyal to power, love money, and seek family prosperity for a hundred years. Those who lose power will die in a short time. You have all seen the end of Dingguo. If you really lose power, you must be like the current Anfu, retreat when you retreat, evacuate the court as soon as possible, don't play around too much, learn from the drunk deer Guo's family, and protect your wealth at ease."

The sons did not speak.

An Yuping blinked his eyes, and looked at the finger wrench in front of An Yuchi in fear.

"Second, build a life for the people," An Qiuwan continued, "Remember, you can't be loyal to the king, but you must love the people. Trees are born in the soil, we are trees, and the people are soil. Every family is based on the talents of the people. If we have a foothold, if they live well, we can prosper.”

"Then," An Yuping looked at the fingers, and said softly, "So we love the people because they make us rich, or because all living beings are suffering?"

An Qiuwan paused, looked at him, sighed softly, and said, "Fourteen."

An Yuping looked up at him.

"Don't be too kind. Conscience is the least valuable thing." He raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder, and said, "Weak people, they are fun, they are irritable, and they are also easy to appreciate. Show a little favor, Then they can be grateful to you, have you ever seen a dog being fed a bite of meat? Their tails, wagging happily?"
