Mrs. Tai is really rich

Yellow clouds cover the sky on the frontier of Dayong, stretching for thousands of miles, the sun is dim, and the howling north wind has just sent away the geese, and it has brought heavy snow. The soldiers are wearing thick cotton clothes and heavy armor. The halberd, guarding the city, despite the severe cold weather, is still guarding the gate of the city.

"What's your name, where are you from, and where are you going?"

"Xie Ruqing, this is my younger brother Chu Ci. The two of us have just returned from studying in Chu State. Now, I want to go back to Qingzhou, where I live, to sort out the books, take part in scientific examinations, and serve the imperial court." The whitish cotton-padded coat was pulling an ox cart, pointing to Chu Ci who sat on the ox cart and wrapped his body in an old quilt and said.

"Oh, scholars, go in, go in, remember, to study hard, you have to make a contribution to our Dayong. Our Dayong is now in a very chaotic world, and we lack some real scholars." The soldier stamped the seal on the customs clearance document in a very grand manner, while earnestly exhorting.

"Brother Cha said, my brother and I, this time we come back, we just want to serve the motherland, Dayong, I am confident that our generation will get better and better." Chu Ci, whose hair was whitened by the heavy snow, suddenly poked his head out of the quilt and said with a smile.

"Hahaha, good, good, young people are really ambitious! I am optimistic about you!" The soldier guarding the gate looked at the middle-aged man, his whole face was full of the vicissitudes of time and the gullies of time, his eyes were clear and resolute , at this moment, because of hearing Chu Ci's words, he smiled a little, even though, this is what he has heard no less than a hundred times.

Xie Ruqing looked at this soldier who still had hope for Da Yongcun today, and didn't speak to him, but just took the customs clearance document handed over by the soldier guarding the gate with both hands, saluted, and then, under the watchful eyes of the soldier, led the cow The car is going inside...

The snowflakes in winter are falling one after another. At this moment, the sky is full of snow like willow catkins blown by the wind, covering this small border town.

The small border town is so cold that there are almost no people on the street. Xie Ruqing searched the street for a long time before finding a restaurant that was not closed. Get on the bullock cart and drive on the road.

"Brother, this naan is so hard..." Chu Ci took the food purchased by Xie Ruqing, skillfully hid the food in the quilt, took out a piece of naan, took a bite, and complained Said like a mouth.

"In this weather, it's good to be able to sell food. If you feel hard, drink some hot water from the water bag. It's still warm." Xie Ruqing sat on the bullock cart , while slapping the old scalper with the bullwhip in his hand, he pulled out the water bag from his waist and said.

"Okay, I'll just let it go. When I get back, I will definitely blackmail Master. There are not many hard dishes. Master, he can never send me away!" Chu Ci said with a smile.

"If Master finds out about you, and you go to Chu State, you will disturb the princes and nobles of Chu State. Master, let alone cook for you, I want to beat you up." I’m in a good mood.” Xie Ruqing said lightly that Chu Ci played with several princes and nobles in Chu State in the palm of his hand, and let them dissipate their wealth.

"Cut... Master just scolded me a few words at most, I don't believe Master would not be willing to give me food, those princes and nobles of Chu State, just like those princes and nobles of our Dayong, just lay on the common people to suck blood, I This is just to punish the evil and promote the good, to rob the rich and give to the poor!"

"Brother, think about it, those children were eating and looking happy, what's not worth it." Chu Ci didn't seem to care at all whether he would be punished by his master after returning, but said happily After saying these words, I closed my eyes and slowly recalled the scene of delivering money that day...

"Those people are just wool from the sheep. Since they have lost their money, when they turn around, when we leave, they will definitely collect exorbitant taxes from the common people under various names. The money we gave to the common people is, after all, , It’s just a drop in the bucket.” Xie Ruqing said.

"Yeah, senior brother, you are right, so I went to their mansion on the night of my departure to get it done once and for all, and put something in their tea. If there is no accident... the state of Chu should be in the state recently. There must be people crying every day." Chu Ci smiled and took out the poison from his master's bedroom and said indifferently.

"It's human life after all, you will be scolded by Master for doing this..."

"Curse me if you want, I am willing, those people should have died a long time ago, if it weren't for them, how could the people in this world be so miserable, don't tell me... Brother, you don't want these people to die early... They are nothing A good thing, alive, will only harm others..."

"I have already handed over the evidence of corruption, bribery and ruining human life that we have collected to the elder brother of the Empress of Chu. If you don't take action, those people will be arrested soon. I'm waiting for arrest." Xie Ruqing didn't answer Chu Ci's question directly, but just said what she had done lightly.

Chu Ci was taken aback for a moment, then moved closer to Xie Ruqing, looked at Xie Ruqing for a long time, "tsk tsk tsk" for a while, then put his arm on Xie Ruqing's shoulder and said:

"Master is really right. Senior brother, you are really 'resourceful'. I feel inferior to senior brother... But... senior brother, although your idea is practical, but... these things, the right is not in our hands, not our own It's up to you, we don't know if Chang Xinhou will change his mind at the last minute, if we are afraid of an accident, what should we do...

It would be better to be straightforward...Anyway...my life is not as important as the lives of the princes and nobles of the Chu Kingdom...it's worth it..."

"You have the talent to manage the world. Your life is more valuable than theirs. You can save more people if you live... You must never be so reckless in the future. If you die early, you No one will realize his ambition..."

Xie Ruqing is only a teenager in his teens now, and he is not as calm and sophisticated as he will be in 30 or [-] years. When he heard Chu Ci's words at first, he felt a little nervous. After all, he has the best relationship with Chu Ci , although he knew in his heart that what Chu Ci said might be just a joke, but in the end he was still worried that his junior brother would not cherish his life, so he thought about it and said comfortingly.

"Senior brother, you don't need to comfort me like this. I'm the one who cherishes my life the most. I'm just trying to be brave. The animals in this world haven't died yet, so I don't want to die. When will these animals die? I...would just...be willing to die..."

"Well... When those people die, we will be willing to die..." Xie Ruqing nodded and said in agreement with Chu Ci.

The days in winter are always short. Xie Ruqing took Chu Ci and led the bullock cart from day to night, and a slanting silver glow appeared from the sky...

"Come on, two young masters, have a bowl of hot soup. There are two bowls of hot dishes and two bowls of white rice on the stove. I will bring them out to you later." A white-haired old man held his hand His little grandson eagerly brought two bowls of hot soup to Xie Ruqing and Chu Ci.

Both Chu Ci and Xie Ruqing took the bowl of hot soup, and immediately, Xie Ruqing said:
"Old man, don't bother me so much, it's me and my younger brother who bothered me today."

"Yes, old man, you were the one who received me and my senior brother when we came. Now, when we come back, you are the one who received us. You are willing to give us a place to rest, but you actually want to cook us such delicious food. What a shame! I am ashamed of it."

Hearing this, the old man quickly waved his hands, and then pulled his little grandson in front of the two of them and said:

"All of this is what I should do. I am an old man, lonely and helpless. All my sons died in battle, and my daughter-in-law ran and died. There are more than a dozen people in my family, and only me and me are left. Da Zhuang, this grandson...

A few years ago, Da Zhuang fell ill and never recovered... I lost my family property, and I didn't hire a capable doctor for my grandson... If it weren't for that, at that time, you two young masters passed by my place The house, after seeing my grandson's illness, came to the rescue... My family has completely fallen apart..."

"My grandson and I can still be reunited today, thanks to the two young masters. My family is destitute, and I don't know how to repay the two young masters. Now, I still have the opportunity to meet the two young masters, and I will prepare for the two young masters. A warm meal... This is my honor... The two young masters must not refuse..."

"Come on, Da Zhuang, kneel down and kowtow to the two benefactors!" After finishing speaking, the old man was about to drag his grandson to kneel in front of Xie Ruqing and Chu Ci.

Xie Ruqing and Chu Ci did not expect that their unintentional actions would have such a big impact on the old man, so they were a little shocked for a while. After regaining his senses, he helped the poor grandparents up!
"Old man, old man! Please get up quickly! This is just a matter of raising your hands, don't be so polite!"

"Yes! My senior brother and I have learned so many things just to serve the motherland and benefit the people. How can we receive such a big gift from you!"

"..."

"..."

Xie Ruqing and Chu Ci chattered and helped the grandparent and grandson up. The old man and his grandson sat down at the table with the support of Xie Ruqing and Chu Ci.

Immediately, the old man looked at Chu Ci and Xie Ruqing for a while, then said awkwardly: "Both benefactors... I... have one more thing... I want the two young masters... to give me an idea..."

"Old man, what do you have, but it's okay to say."

"Both benefactors, I am now the only grandson. His father and uncles all died on the battlefield...I, now...just thinking about it...but I haven't read any books...so... ...I want the two benefactors... to find a way out for my ignorant grandson..."

"My family has been in the army for generations... But I know that those who serve in the army today basically never return... So... if... there are other ways... I can accept it..."

The old man's expression was very disturbed, and his cloudy eyes were full of caution... He was afraid that Xie Ruqing and Chu Ci would reject him.

But Xie Ruqing and Chu Ci looked at each other, they did not reject the old man, but after thinking for a long time, Xie Ruqing said:
"Today's Dayong is too chaotic. Within ten years, there will be earth-shattering changes. If we blindly avoid it, it will be difficult to survive in the chaotic world..."

"Exactly, since Da Zhuang has caught up with this time, let's not stop hiding..."

"Yes, if you are willing to be an old man, although my senior brother and I have no skills, we can still find a place to study in Yangzhou for Da Zhuang. In the future, it will be great if he can learn something..."

"Exactly, my junior met a rich man in Yangzhou. The rich man was kind and generous. He opened many charitable halls and schools. If Da Zhuang goes here, he doesn't have to worry about money for school..."

"It's just... it's just that Yangzhou has high mountains and far rivers. If Da Zhuang goes here, it will be difficult for him to come back. If you are an old man, you are willing... We suggest that you move here with Da Zhuang Yangzhou's..."

"Yes, old man... I remember when I came back last time, you said your surname was Zhai, and you said that your ancestors had received the kindness of the Taizu, so you have guarded the frontier for Dayong for generations, and served the country in the army... to you Here, all four sons have to be taken in... Now, you only have one grandson left... Let's go... Come to think of it... No one will blame you..."

"Yes, old man, come with us tomorrow..."

When the old man heard that he was going to leave the frontier that he had protected for generations, he couldn't help but lose his mind... He looked at the young grandson beside him, who symbolized the fresh vitality and future grandson, then turned his head and looked behind him, The memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Zhai family and his four sons who died earlier...

Finally, the old man nodded and said:
"Okay...thank you two benefactors...let's do it this way...tonight...I'll pack up...tomorrow I'll go with you...thank you two benefactors..."

"I still have two old hens in my yard...I can't take them away tomorrow...I'll kill them...Gajiacai..."

After finishing speaking, the old man walked out with his grandson...

Xie Ruqing and Chu Ci were left sitting on the kang, looking at each other speechlessly...

It wasn't until the heavy snow outside the window broke the branches and made a loud noise that Chu Ci said:
"Brother... we may have changed the fate of the Zhai family today... After that... can we change the fate of the common people... the people of the world... How many people are like the Zhai family... Only the old and weak, women and children are left... ..."

"Yes... yes... we can... this world... I am confident... will be changed by our hands, and the people of the world will live and work in peace and contentment because of us..."

……

……

The next day, before the sky shone from the east, Xie Ruqing and Chu Ci held the hand of Da Zhuang and watched the old man lock the door of his house...

Immediately...an inconspicuous old ox cart slowly walked towards the east...

Did you notice that I changed the cover?It looks good! It looks good!
