After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 85 A small complaint

Haijiao couldn't stay in the small room next to the living room for long.

With his second uncle Hai Chang'an here, if he was not willing to let Hai Jiao overhear what the elders were talking about with the distinguished guests, Hai Jiao would naturally not be able to stay there.As soon as breakfast was distributed, he was kicked out and was responsible for delivering most of the breakfast to the Tao family's guards.As for Tao Yue's share in the living room, Hai Changan left it in the hands of his father Hai Xiya and left quickly.

Hai Jiao reluctantly returned to the east wing, and Hai Tang stepped in with his hind legs and quickly closed the door: "Brother, what did you hear?"

Hai Jiao sighed: "I only heard Mr. Tao telling Uncle Xie and the others that when grandpa took everyone away from Chang'an, he happened to be away in another place. When he received the news, it was already too late. Mr. Tao regretted it very much. , saying that he had known this, he had established friendship with the Zhou family early, and left a few more people in the capital. As soon as he heard that the Sun family sent people to Chang'an, he immediately sent a letter to the Zhou family, asking the Zhou family to help arrange for the cousin and uncle to escape. To a safer place, rather than leaving them helpless to decide where to go..."

Tao Yue seemed to think that at that time, things had clearly changed and no one in the court paid attention to Xie Wenzai's exiled Wu clan ancestors. If he teamed up with the Zhou family, he could let them live in a better place openly. There is no need to go all the way to Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Shazhou in order to avoid Sun Yonglu. The farther you go, the more remote and difficult it becomes.

He had not received letters from his old friends in these years, and he thought Xie Wenzai and the others were complaining that he had stood by and watched.When he contacted the people who had been pardoned and returned to Beijing the year before last, he realized that no one had complained about him at all, nor did they regret traveling further and further away from Sun Yonglu.All the former disciples of the Wu clan believed that if the envoys from the imperial court found out that they were in a good situation when they were pardoned, and discovered that they were related to Tao Yue, it might greatly affect Tao Yue's holy family.He saved everyone many years ago, and no one wants to implicate him again.

The general present on Wednesday also said that the Zhou family was very sorry for not being able to rescue Xie Wenzai and others in time.Fortunately, over the years, Haixiya and everyone have always been operating within the northwest border area that the Zhou family can control, giving the Zhou family a chance to take care of them, which can make up for the mistakes of the year.

Hai Jiao couldn't continue to listen to the rest of the words, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed: "My second uncle also wanted to know what Mr. Tao and my cousin talked about, but he refused to let me stay there and eavesdrop. , and threatened that if I didn’t leave, he would tell grandpa..."

Haitang patted her brother on the back to comfort her, and sighed: "It seems that grandpa's choice to go all the way to a remote place was not the right decision... It's just that my cousin and the others were too embarrassed to mention it to grandpa."

Hai Jiao nodded: "Grandpa was standing at the door of the living room, and he could actually hear what was being said in the room. His face was red and he was too embarrassed to go in..." Even so, he didn't feel that his grandpa had made a big mistake. , "Grandpa didn't know that the Zhou family had always intended to make friends with Mr. Tao, let alone that Mr. Tao had always intended to protect his cousin and the others. He suddenly heard that Sun Yonglu had gone to Chang'an, and he must have been afraid that his cousin and the others would be discovered by their enemies! He What could a small official with no power do? There happened to be a vacancy in Ganzhou and they were in urgent need of people, so he immediately recommended himself. He had no way to arrange a better place for his cousin and uncle, but he also took risks I have protected them for more than 20 years, what’s wrong with that?”

This is actually the result of the lack of communication between several friendly forces.Master Tao Yuetao may feel sorry for his friends, but Xie Wenzai and others have not suffered much in these years?How many of the people who were exiled to the frontier for offending the emperor's powerful officials had a better life than them?In the early years, when they had to work in Chang'an, Ganzhou, Suzhou and other places, it was not heavy work. It was mainly clerical and teaching work. They had basic guarantees for food, accommodation and medical care. No one deliberately made things difficult for them. They were pardoned. In the end, most people went home smoothly.I am so lucky to have such an opportunity!

Tao Yue had been a relative of the emperor and a high-ranking official in Beijing for many years, and was used to being pampered. He felt that Xie Wenzai and the others had suffered a lot. In fact, he had no idea what kind of life the prisoners exiled in the northwest should actually live, right?Haitang pouted: "Since Mr. Tao cares about his friends so much, why hasn't he thought of a way to rescue them after 31 years? Even the emperor's decree of pardon was only issued four years ago. In the past 20 years, I don’t see Mr. Tao paying much attention to my cousin and uncle. On the contrary, grandpa has been taking care of everyone, and even delayed his own future for them!"

Hai Jiao glanced at his sister with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about these things in private, brother and sister, but don't let others hear. There is no way to change the past. If you keep talking about it, you will only offend people. Then The suffering our family has endured for more than 30 years has been in vain. It is better to think more about the future. I am now hoping that Mr. Tao will take Uncle Xie back home as soon as possible, and it is best to help them return to officialdom. If Grandpa can stop by, It would be better if you take advantage of it.”

He hoped that Tao Yue would achieve great success.As long as Tao Yue has more power in his hands, Sunge's old faction will no longer be able to threaten the Hai family.At that time, it will be much easier whether he wants to use his power to save his benefactor in his previous life, or to strive for a better future after becoming an official in the future.

Haitang didn't say anything after hearing this, as long as her brother understood what was right and wrong and wouldn't complain about his grandfather because of his respect for Tao Yue.

She changed the topic: "I didn't expect Master Tao to abandon the peace negotiation delegation and come all the way to Suzhou to meet my cousin and Grandpa Cao. The Hu people's delegation has already arrived at Gaotai Suo, right? Master Tao left suddenly, really Won't it have an impact? He seems to really care about his cousin and his friends. What did he say just now... After returning to the Central Plains, he will ask a doctor to take care of his friends' health. Is he determined to take people back? "

Hai Jiao thought for a moment: "Cousin uncle and the others were pardoned four years ago. They are now free and have regained their honors. They can go back a long time ago. They have always stayed with our family in the border areas, but they don't want to leave. That's it. It's okay for them to leave. None of the three elders are in very good health. They should have seen a doctor for treatment long ago. How many good doctors can be found in the border town? When the doctor from Huichun Hall prescribes a prescription, he may not even have a thank you note. Uncle and Grandpa Lu are very clever. Xiao Shitou has been seriously ill since last spring, and his body has become much weaker. He has gradually improved by taking the prescriptions given by his uncle. Mr. Tao should have a way to invite an imperial doctor or other capitals. Famous doctor, right? If a good doctor can cure the old problems of the three elders, they will suffer less when the seasons change. As for the threat from the Sun family... Lord Tao should protect them, right? "

Hai Jiao still has some selfish motives. He feels that once Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian choose to leave the border area and return to Beijing with Tao Yue, his grandfather Hai Xiya will probably no longer insist on staying in Suzhou, and the Zhou family will be more likely to For Tao Yue's sake, I no longer want to keep Grandpa.By then, whether the family returns to his hometown in Yongping or follows Xie Wenzai to Beijing, he will have the opportunity to have a better future.Even if he needs to find a new reason to go to Datong to save people three years later, at least he no longer has to worry about being forced by his grandparents to stay in the northwest and become an official!

Hai Jiao walked around the room twice and looked up at Haitang: "Little sister, I don't know what my cousin is thinking now, whether he will refuse to go back with Mr. Tao, but I... will try to go Convince him. Whether it’s for Grandpa, our family, or for Uncle Cousin, Grandpa Cao, Grandpa Lu, or even for Mr. Tao, we shouldn’t stay here anymore!”
