Concubine Raiders

When the carriage stopped, Xu Lingyi lifted the window, and Xu Si Zhun and Jin elder brother Er could not help looking out of the window.

In April, the farmlands are lush and full of half of the crops. There are several grave bags protruding on the ridge in the southeast. Not long after the Tomb Sweeping Day, there are scattered petals by the wind and rain.

"Dad, is this our Grange?" Jin elder brother son looks up at father.

Xu Lingyi touched his youngest son's head: "this is your fourth brother's farm!"

Xu Si Zhun looked at Xu Lingyi in surprise.

He knew that the Grange left by his mother was in great prosperity, but he never came.

Is it because he is going to get married, so his father specially brought him to have a look?

I think things should not be so simple.

Even if he had to give the Grange to him, his father could let the steward lead him to come and have a look. He didn't have to take his sixth brother and him to this place in the early morning.

"Father..." He wanted to talk but stopped.

Xu Lingyi looked at Xu sizhun with deep meaning: "mother Tao is buried here!"

Xu Si Zhun was stunned.

Outside came a strange and respectful voice: "Lord, there are neighbors passing by!"

Xu Lingyi said, "well," and said, "come forward and ask questions."

The answer outside is yes.

The people in the carriage could not help quieting down, and the voice outside the carriage came in clearly.

"You ask the manor of Hou Shizi in Yongping? It's all over the place. " A slightly old voice said, "there is the tomb of Tao Guan Shi's mother In the morning I pass by this way every day. How can I not know Besides, just after the Tomb Sweeping Day, their family came to visit Mrs. Tao's grave again It's not as expensive as the Tomb Sweeping Day... "

Xu Si Zhun's face changed slightly.

He couldn't help glancing at Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi sat there quietly, with a dignified look on her face. Xu Si Zhun to the mouth of the words and swallow down.

Thank you. He went up to Xu Lingyi in a low voice: "I'm sure. Today, Tao Guanshi is going to pay a visit to his mother's grave. "

Xu Lingyi gave a "Hmmm" and sat for a while, estimating that the neighbor had gone far away, he got up and said, "let's get off to have a look."

Xu Si Zhun didn't dare to neglect and got off the car.

Jin elder brother son took the car for most of the day. As soon as he was fresh, he felt that he had no Qing. Now he could get off to have a good breath and jumped off the carriage happily.

Outside, there was a middle-aged man in his thirties, a long green silk shirt, very capable. He saluted them and led them to the ridge.

Soon after the tombstone was set, they saw the tombstone.

The grave was re earthed. In the pottery pot used to burn paper money in front of the grave, the ashes of paper money are still left, but the side is clean. As you can see, paper money doesn't burn much.

"Do you know how much paper money a hundred taels of silver can buy?" Xu Lingyi asked Xu sizhun with his back

Although Xu sizhun presided over the sacrifice of yuanniang, everything was prepared in advance by the administrators. He didn't know. But he knew that the maid's home had a red and white wedding, the first-class also only reward five Liang silver to take home. A hundred taels is a large amount.

"My mother is gone, and so is mother Tao. Tao Cheng is Tao's mother's son I want to give him more money... " Xu sizhun explained to Tao Cheng in a low voice, "I'm going to get married soon He's going to buy something to sacrifice... "

It means that the hundred Liang silver also includes the reward for pottery.

Xu Lingyi declined to comment. Light way: "a hundred Liang silver, can pull ten cars of paper money, burn for half a day!"

Xu Si Zhun "ah" a, gaping at his father, brain chaos.

Xu Lingyi took a deep look at him and turned away from her mother's grave: "let's go back."

The smart brother-in-law has already felt the difference between his father and his brother. He quietly stands aside and cleverly follows Xu Lingyi into the carriage.

Along the way, Xu Lingyi kept her eyes closed.

Jin elder brother's son can still sit upright at the beginning, but soon the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid started to fight, and fell askew in Xu Lingyi's arms and fell asleep.

Xu Si Zhun is thinking about what happened today.

Does his father want to tell him that it is not reliable to cultivate this man to worship Yang?

But Tao Cheng is his mother's companion And I've always been very close to him

Thinking of this, he began to feel a little agitated.

Will my father punish him severely for this?

"Dad," Xu sizhun stammered, "Tao Cheng didn't mean to..." There's something about pleading for him.

Xu Lingyi suddenly opened his eyes: "do you know why I want to go with you this time?"

Xu sizhun shook his head subconsciously.

"I want you to learn how to manage common affairs in the outer courtyard, not because you can write and calculate, but because I want you to learn how to know and use people and how to use them well." Xu Lingyi looked into his eyes, "but you look at you It's not too much to burn more paper money to Tao's mother. But you gave him a hundred taels of silver at one go. If you say that you appreciate Tao's mother's feeding kindness to your mother, you can reward Tao Cheng's one hundred and two sons! But you asked Tao Cheng to buy a hundred taels of paper money and burn it to her mother. Everyone has selfish intentions. If Tao Cheng bought ninety taels and dropped ten taels, it would be. But look at him, I'm afraid ten taels of silver will not be used. All the rest will be lost to his own pocket. If you don't investigate twice at a time, you will form a habit after a long time. When you have something important to hand over to him, he will only feel you are fooling, how can he do his best to help you? Zhun Ge'er, "Xu Lingyi quite sighed," in the future, everything inside and outside Yongping house will be handed to you. You have to keep your eyes open. You can't do it just because he's your mother's companion. You know, in the future, there are not only your mother's people, but also the people I left for you. If you can't keep a bowl of water level, how can you convince the public? "Xu Si Zhun has five tastes in his heart.

How did he know Tao Cheng would be like this What's more, he can't investigate everything like today!

Naturally, Xu Si Zhun did not dare to refute his father. He only lowered his head and answered "yes".

Seeing that he had no questions to ask herself, Xu Lingyi shook her head in disappointment.

"What are you going to do about Tao Cheng?" For a long time, he asked his son gently.

Xu Si Zhun raised his head, his eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be stunned: "I, I'll talk to him..."

"What do you say?" Xu Lingyi said, "you visited Tao's mother and found that he didn't burn paper money for her as you asked?"

"No, it's not." This is certainly not possible. It's not that you give someone else to handle affairs, but also secretly investigate them behind their backs. It's not like a family member's demeanor. If not, what should we do? He hesitated, "I, I, I..."

Xu Lingyi did not come to embarrass his son.

"Do you know why I want to check Tao Cheng?" He whispered, "because Tao Cheng is your most trusted steward! We have to trust a person, and we usually have to know something about that person. But you don't know anything about Tao Cheng. Just because he is your mother's companion, you have unlimited trust in him. He was not only entrusted with the affairs of the Grange, but also given him dignity in front of the other stewards, making him superior to the others, but knowing nothing about him. This is very dangerous. After that, there are more people working under you. You must know who you want to use. If you want to know a person, you must look at the small things. Take this as an example. You asked Tao to do it immediately. It can be seen that he still has you in his heart. But it only used one tenth of the silver you gave to buy paper money, which shows that this man is very greedy. When you use a man who can handle affairs and has greed, you should pay attention not to hand over a large amount of money to him... "

Xu sizhun heard his father's words with his head as big as a fight.

But originally faintly sound sleeps Jin elder brother son actually did not know when opened the eye.

He was staring at his father with a thoughtful expression on his face.

******

they entered the city together with the motorcade to get water from Yuquan mountain.

In the carriage, Xu Si Zhun and Jin elder brother son leaned on Xu Lingyi's shoulder one right and one left, and had already fallen asleep. Xu Lingyi's eyes were wide open, shining in the dark.

The steward took Xu Lingyi's calligraphy, and the soldiers guarding the city, not to mention checking them, immediately helped to drive the carriages in front of him to one side and let them have a way.

Back in the lotus, it is Yin Zheng.

Eleven Niang worried about the night did not sleep, put on clothes to welcome out.

"It's OK!" Xu Lingyi was in high spirits, holding a sleeping brother-in-law in his arms. He behaved briskly. He could not tell that he was a man who had been in a carriage for a day and a night. "We just went out and walked!"

May be to feel the mother's breath, just brother son sleepy to rub his eyes, see a familiar figure.

"Mother He twisted his body toward the eleven Niang, "we went to see the fourth brother's farm..." Her hands were tightly around her neck.

"Dear brother!" Xu Lingyi said, "your mother can't hold you. Dad, hold it

Jin elder brother son is misty ground, mm-hmm ground sprinkles Jiao.

Eleven Niang had no way, so she let him be held by Xu Lingyi, and then put her arm around her neck. Don't twist and get her son back to the wing room.

Xu Si Zhun is completely sober.

He took three steps and two steps. With a dignified expression, he entered the temple and soon turned out of it.

"Is the fifth young master awake?" While asking, he went to Xu Sijie.

******

"why don't we ask mother?" Xu Sijie was awakened by Xu sizhun. After listening for a long time, he didn't understand what Xu was going to say. He couldn't help yawning, "my mother is in charge of the affairs of the inner court. If you don't understand anything, just ask your mother! "

Mother's companion made such a thing, also asked the mother how to do?

"Forget it!" Xu Si Zhun was a little depressed, "this matter still don't disturb mother. You go to sleep again! I'll go back first! "

I'm sorry that I didn't help my brother.

He thought for a moment, "do you want to go to the study this morning? Shall we talk about it in detail at night? "

"No problem!" I don't think about it

Xu Sijie asked the servant girl to wash her face with water: "if there is Mr. Zhao, you can ask for a leave. Mr. Chang hates to ask for leave... "

Wish you a Happy Mid Autumn Festival!
