The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 277

According to the memory of the original owner, the Tao family was caught by their opponents and hit them hard. The whole family was almost wiped out. Fortunately, the Tao family searched for people everywhere, and still grabbed a chance, but most of the Tao family had no choice. Without withdrawing from the court, almost the whole family returned to their hometown.

At last, the emperor still remembered the old love in the past, and did not suppress the Tao family to the end, and did not prohibit the children of the Tao family from taking the imperial examination in the future. This is good news for the Tao family, which means that the Tao family still has a chance to turn around and temporarily decline. That's all.

Originally, the older generation of the Tao family thought that they were slowly lurking, waiting for the new generation to come out of the scientific research, and when the Tao family could make a comeback, what they never expected was that they suddenly encountered an unprecedented natural disaster.

In the face of natural disasters, the struggle and efforts of one, a few, dozens of people, and even the whole Tao family clan are very small, and many ideals and wishes are washed away with the turbulent water of Tao Tao.

Now most of the Tao family should have died in that Tao Tao flood, and now there are only a few Tao family members who are known to be alive, and the former aristocratic Tao family is completely abolished.

Ling Xiao sees this very clearly. You must know that there is a good saying: as soon as people leave, the tea will be cold, and the previous contacts of the Tao family will disappear with the death of the Tao family.

This is absolutely fatal for people who were born in a family. They have no previous connections, and everything has to start from scratch.

In addition to the fatal blow to the network, the deadliest thing is that no one in the family is still alive, and after that, it is impossible to bet on multiple parties.

Want to know why the aristocratic family has always been able to have both sides?It is because of the relationship between multiple bets that I am now unable to make multiple investments.

The Tao family's aristocratic brand is tantamount to being delisted directly after the flood, and it is completely abolished. For Ling Xiao, the aristocratic brand will be abolished if it is abolished.

Based on Ling Xiao's previous reading and experience, he knows that the family's family interests and the public's interests are put together, and they care more about the family.

Once the interests of the family conflict with the country and the people, the children of the family will give up other interests for the benefit of the family.

This is ruthless, but it is a fact. For Ling Xiao, this kind of thinking is simply inexcusable.

And since the Tao family is not a so-called aristocratic family, there is no such restriction, and it is better to change the way of life.

And she knew that after the appearance of the imperial examination, the aristocratic family began to go downhill.

It doesn't matter if you are not from a family, you must supervise San and Goro's studies well.

Even two children don't want to be officials.

The two of them must also have their own true skills.

Ling Xiao, who comes from a modern society, is not sad about the decline of the Tao family.

The education she received made her not have the spirit of dedicating everything to her family.

Nor did he necessarily have a good relationship with those relatives, such as Tao Erlang.

Although the Kyushu people of later generations kept many customs, most of them took the small family as the main body of life.

It's good that the relatives can get by on the outside. If Tao Erlang's relatives are better, contact them more.

If it's not good, there's no need to contact her more, and she won't agree with the original owner to give up her happy life for her younger brother.

I don't know what the original owner would think?Do you think Ling Xiao did something wrong?It would be a pity for Ling Xiao if he thought this way.

But she will never violate her three views for the sake of the original owner, and ask herself, it is difficult for her to live like a pure ancient person.

It is absolutely impossible for her to be a well-behaved daughter of a down-and-out family, and take her two younger brothers to Tao Erlang's house to live under the fence. This is absolutely impossible.

After listening to Ling Xiao's introduction just now, Yuzhen had been thinking about it, and said at this time: "I feel that the aristocratic family is a bit like a family of cultivators, and there are many families in the sect."

"As for the imperial dynasty, it is somewhat like a sect. The head of the sect is a bit like the emperor, but if there are more powerful bosses, the head of the sect is no different. Then there are master-student relationships and fellow villagers. It seems that there are also sects."

Ling Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard it. In fact, no matter whether it is a cultivator or an ordinary person, they are all human beings in the final analysis, and they have many things in common in essence. Of course, there are still some differences in the structure between them. It's different in places.

"Well! From a certain point of view, the sect really feels like a country in the world of cultivation. The head of the sect is a bit like an emperor, but of course there are some differences. The monks care more about each other's personal combat effectiveness. If you don't agree with the crowd, there are written restrictions on the rights of the head of the sect." Ling Xiao said casually.

Yuzhen had read Qingqiuzi’s travel notes during this period, and had a certain understanding of the situation of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and realized that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are not actually one, but also separate. The most central part is the Nine Heavens. The ten lands and the nine heavens also fought, and in the end the ten lands were ruled by the nine heavens.

Yuzhen even discovered a problem from the travel notes, Qingqiuzi has not been paying much attention to cultivation, this situation makes her very annoyed, how could this happen?A good condition is not to do it, just thinking about playing.

If Qingqiuzi was someone of hers, she must have grabbed this guy and beat him up, Yuzhen thought about how lacking in skills they were, and Qingqiuzi was the kind of person who didn't know his blessings.

Ling Xiao didn't agree with Yuzhen's idea, and she also saw Qingqiuzi's idea, but felt that there must be a reason why Qingqiuzi did what they didn't know.

From what Qingqiuzi left behind, it can be seen that he is very strategic in his actions, so let him decide what to do, that is his life.

After hearing Ling Xiao's words, Yuzhen took a look and didn't argue any further. The different experiences between them made them think differently.

But she still insisted on her idea, because if she had the skills, she would definitely work harder to improve her strength as soon as possible.

She thought so in her heart, but she didn't want to quarrel with Ling Xiao, so she didn't ask any more questions, and remembered the matter of Timberwolf.

It is said that there are many cultivation families and cultivation sects on Timber Star, but their scales are not very large.

The reason for this is that the monks on Timberwolf didn't work together very much, so they didn't think about working together to do it.

The monks of Timberwolf were deeply influenced by the idea of ​​not being Fengwei Ning being the leader of the JI.

As a result, those monks are rarely willing to obey orders obediently under the hands of others.

Once the cultivation base of the monks rises, they will want to become the leader.

Under such circumstances, the sects and families are not large in scale.

A vicious cycle has emerged.

Every time something happens, I sigh.

But it's the same next time, and no one wants to correct it.

The idea of ​​Ning being the head of JI has always been accepted by the majority.

After a while, there will be some monks who want to be promoted.

The sects that had worked so hard to develop before quickly fell apart.

After most of these situations, some monks discovered the problem, which was not good for the development of Timberwolf.

This kind of thinking that everyone wants to be the boss has caused the subsequent exercises to be lost little by little.

Before leaving, every monk wanted to get something from the original sect, and various means appeared.

But Gongfa suffered the biggest loss, because everyone wanted to earn more, and even took risks.

After being discovered, some people will blew themselves up when they see that they can't escape, feeling that if they can't get it, others can't get it either.

Some high-level practitioners blew themselves up like putting TNT explosives, and the result was simply a disaster movie, which is unwatchable.

A lot of kung fu methods suffered from unreasonable disasters, and they were destroyed by different monks in this way, and eventually one day a certain kung fu method was completely destroyed.

For a period of time, Julangxing was a group of demons dancing wildly, which caused Julangxing's exercises to go from bad to worse, and many monks couldn't find suitable exercises at all.

Ling Xiao didn't understand after hearing about it, why didn't the monks unite together?In many cases, a lot of people means a lot of strength, and some things should be done together.

After hearing Ling Xiao's words, Yuzhen sighed a lot, and now he recalled: "Many monks in Timberwolf are just a brood of fighting cocks. They have no skills, but they always want to be a Ji song."

If you have the energy to practice hard, Yuzhen is also speechless, because she can't understand those monks who only want to be the leader. In her opinion, the leader doesn't have much meaning at all. It is not conducive to cultivating the mind.

Yuzhen was a descendant of a small sect at the beginning. The reason why she became a disciple of the master was because her parents died in the sect's civil strife. The master took her away and raised her. Later, she didn't want to become a disciple of any sect. It's just a bunch of loose sand.

She has been doing more independent casual cultivation since then, and she can practice her spells with that infighting skill, but she feels that what happened on Timber Star is very similar to what happened to ordinary people.

The two of them talked while jogging, and didn't say anything more until later, in order to prevent the possibility of encountering other people. Ling Xiao didn't want to show his feet.

It was already bright when Ling Xiao and Yu Zhen came back. Mother Xia prepared the morning food early in the morning and specially brought out the best food for them to have a good meal.

In order not to cheat, the two of Ling Xiao and the others fiddled with the puppets they refined, so they could eat and hide the identities of the puppets.

After seeing Ling Xiao coming back, Mother Xia asked for a while, then woke up the four little ones, told them that it was time to eat morning food, and got up one after another.

After Tao Baozhu was woken up, she almost exploded with anger. When she woke up early in the morning, she was so angry that she fell asleep again.

In the end, he felt that as soon as his eyes were closed, he was woken up again, and Tao Baozhu, who was so angry that he got up, almost yelled.

I can't wait to throw something directly at it, where did he come from?Why don't you let her sleep?This man is really too bad.

Fortunately, I remembered what I did yesterday, and now I don't have much freedom.

She lived in her cousin's house and had to bow her head. Now she is a little afraid of her cousin.

In addition, Mother Xia's voice reminded Tao Baozhu not to confront her cousin now.

After a hungry meal, she thought about going to eat, and it seemed that she was really hungry.

She washed and dressed under the service of her mother-in-law and went out.

I was a little surprised when I saw my cousin in men's clothing.

Tao Baozhu opened her mouth to say something.

It turned out that the cousin took a deep look at her.

Those eyes that seemed to see everything watched her actions.

Let her be grabbed by the throat by a ruthless hand, and she was scared all of a sudden.

"Baozhu, come and eat quickly." Ling Xiao said calmly as he sat there.

Tao Baozhu didn't dare to resist when she saw it, so she had to sit down, because she knew that the other party was very powerful.

Although she would scold Ling Xiao for being too vulgar, she would slander Ling Xiao in her heart, and she would never dare to put it on the bright side.

It's like now that she doesn't dare to talk back at all, the lesson from last time made her remember this cousin, not to be trifled with.

Looking at her, Ling Xiao knew that she was unhappy and didn't dare to speak back, but her face drooped, as if someone owed her something.

In addition, she found that Tao Baozhu had big dark circles under her eyes, and she seemed to be planning to dress up as a giant panda. This discovery made her want to laugh.

She knew at a glance that Tao Baozhu must be sleeping poorly, but she didn't pay much attention to it, she didn't have the patience to take care of this disobedient cousin, anyway, she and Tao Baozhu were not the same way.

After thinking it over clearly, she waited for the children, such as Sanlang and Goro. The three of them were familiar with each other along the way. They sat in one place and ate happily, and their voices were a little loud. They all closed when Ling Xiao's gaze passed by. Mouth, afraid to speak.

The three of them began to sit down obediently, ready to eat morning food, and this time it was Cherry who cooked a delicious morning meal, and they all ate very happily, but they still paid attention to etiquette, Ling Xiao looked like a little adult of them want to laugh.

But Tao Baozhu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable after seeing this scene. She wholeheartedly wanted to go back to her mother and father, so that she could become the son of an official again.

In her opinion, when her mother arrived, her cousin would become a little pitiful. Ling Xiao felt that Tao Baozhu had malicious intentions and didn't take much care of her.

I just asked Mother Xia to make a special trip to send Ling Xiao's post, and then tell the original owner's uncle and aunt that the cousin and cousin are here.

Xia's mother understood as soon as she heard that she was going to visit Tao's Erlang's house, so she asked people to catch up with the car and entered the capital, thinking about problems very nervously along the way.

And Ling Xiao began to prepare the mourning hall for the original owner's parents, and of course the old couple. This time, the Tao family will keep their filial piety, including the second wife.

Now she still hasten to prepare everything for the original owner's parents, in order to prevent someone from using Shouxiao to find trouble in the future.

Although the original owner's two younger brothers are still young, once someone points out the problem, the two of them will not be able to run away.

Besides, Mama Xia arrived at the Tao family's second bedroom house, which is not too big.

Tao Erlang's residence is restricted by class, so the place where his family lives is of course not big.

Fortunately, there are not too many people in the family, so they barely live there.

When Mama Xia arrived, Mrs. Li was in a very bad mood.

Because she couldn't get up because of excessive anxiety.

I heard from the people below that Xia's mother didn't care when she came.

In her mind, the servants of Dafang didn't need to care about anything at all.

She didn't care about any big family members at all, let alone servants.

All she could do was worry about why she let her children go back to their hometown to accompany the two old people.

If she knew this was the case, she should have said it later. Regret occupied her whole heart.

After not getting a good rest, she felt suffocated, and she was so upset that she wanted to curse and wanted to hit someone.

But she found that she didn't even have the strength to swear at others, because she felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't get up at all.

After following her confidant Mama for a look, Mama Liu, who had been staying by the side all the time, took a look at Mama Xia who was in the eldest room.

She thought that Mother Xia wanted to ask Erye Tao for help with something. Not long ago, Mother Xia came to ask about the situation of the owner of the big house.

So now I should still want to ask this question, what is there to ask?The brothers and sisters in the second room also didn't see it, and the people they sent didn't come back.

Isn't this trying to gouge out Madam's heart?Naturally, she wouldn't go to see Mama Xia, so she just let Nanny Liu, who had been trying to grab Madam's attention with her, ask her.

No matter what, she had to get rid of it. The mother Liu who was sent out saw Mama Xia in plain clothes in the side room. She was not very happy. You must know that her wife is particularly taboo against plain clothes during this time.

However, Mama Xia was wearing this outfit, which made Mammy Liu feel a little unhappy. She decided to give Mama Xia a good beating. What is this for?Brothers and sisters in the second room will definitely be fine, what kind of plain clothes are they wearing, bah!
Mother Xia's expression was very calm, and she said softly: "Sister Liu, this is a post from my eldest lady. She was supposed to come to the door, but my husband and wife have passed away, so the eldest lady can't easily come to the door while she is serving filial piety. , I want Madam to send someone to pick up Er Niangzi and Ba Lang."

Mother Liu was not very impatient at first, what about your husband and wife?When she was about to say it, she went through her mind again before she realized, wait!There was too much information in Mama Xia's words, which stunned Nanny Liu for a while.

She quickly sorted out each other's situation in her mind. The eldest lady of Xia's family should not be the eldest lady of the Tao family?
