Chapter 881 Chapter 881: The Mohist who can practice (Part 1) [Please vote for me]
"The world is vast and the journey is far away. Ziyi often said during his lifetime, 'A good man aims in all directions.' My uncle should not be restricted. Land." The young woman warned earnestly.
The words were so sincere that Chao Lian’s eyes turned red again.
Gu Ren’s eldest son could only stand up to break the heavy atmosphere.
"When did Uncle Chao become so sentimental? It's rare to have a reunion, so you should be happy. Recently, I asked the cook to learn some vegetarian dishes from the government kitchen. Uncle Chao wants to try them." Funeral ceremony at the house Before retreating, everyone was in mourning period and could only eat plain food.
Qishan did not lack the treatment here. Even if they were not allowed to eat meat, they would give them the best food possible and would not criticize the outside world. Chao Lian understood his nephew's intentions and showed interest.
The eldest nephew stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to urge you."
Only Chao Lian and Gu Ren's widow were left in the hall.
"Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about the future?"
He wanted to avoid his eldest nephew on some topics.
The young woman understood his hint at once.
"What did Ziyi say before he died?"
Chao Lian shook his head: "At that time, the war was urgent and I didn't have time to leave any last words. It's just that my eldest brother had mentioned it before that, saying that my sister-in-law He is in his prime, and if he is good at the Dragon Slaying Bureau, my sister-in-law should not waste time in finding a husband while she is young. "
It is normal for widows to remarry in this era.
Especially widows who have given birth are more popular.
This proves that the ex-husband is too lighthearted to bear the widow's good fortune, and only a truly precious person can bear it. If she was willing, there would be many wealthy families who could come to her as matchmakers. Chao Lian hopes that his sister-in-law will live an easier life, but he will respect her choice.
The young woman smiled bitterly: "This is like what Ziyi would say, but he has been newly mourned for half a year. How can I think about remarrying? To say the least, even if I am willing to look again, it will be difficult to find him. More upright than him and more agreeable to me My beloved, now I just want to raise the three sons and two daughters left by Ziyi. They respect me as their mother from the bottom of their hearts, how can I abandon them?"
Three sons and two daughters, Only the youngest daughter was born to her.
The first two wives were good people, and the children they left behind were also good-natured. They never made things difficult for her step-brother, and treated her with respect and filial piety. For sincerity, as long as you take care of them, you will still be a respected old prince in your house in the future.
In comparison, remarrying is nothing more than a huge gamble.
If she had a problem with her new husband's family, Gu Ren's old men wouldn't be able to stand up for her, and they would be blocked by just saying "family matters". If she were still Gu Ren's widow, everything would be different. Even her father strongly supported this matter.
She appreciated her uncle's kindness.
Chao Lian: "Qing made a mistake, please forgive me, sister-in-law."
The two made a tacit agreement never to mention the matter of remarriage again.
Chao Lian stayed at the house for three days.
On the fourth day, we packed our bags and prepared to leave.
Chao Lian felt relieved after confirming that his sister-in-law and nephew were in a safe situation and that Shangnan had a reliable new owner. He was still thinking about Brother Six and Thirteen, so he couldn't stay here for too long. During this period, the Sibao County officials did not ask about Chao Lian's whereabouts.
Until the day Chao Lian left.
Gu Ren's children and widow went out of the city to see him off.
Before Chao Lian got on the horse, he noticed that his eldest nephew looked hesitant to speak, and he had something to say to him. He patted his eldest nephew's vest with his big palm and said, "If you want to be a man, just say it. Don't hesitate. My eldest brother is not as coy as you."
The eldest nephew took courage.
“When will Uncle Chao return?”
“I don’t know. Although your thirteenth uncle’s condition is better than before, there’s no telling when he will return to normal. .There were other brotherhoods in the past. To stop his madness, there is only one sixth brother left. I am worried that he will accidentally hurt the sixth brother. But don’t worry, eldest nephew, if I have time, I will come back to see you. "Chao Lian was confused about similar problems. I asked you this a long time ago, why do you ask me again today? Blessed to the soul, a flash of inspiration flashes through my mind, and I can think through everything in an instant.
He hesitated: "Is this what you mean?"
The eldest nephew shook his head: "It was the prayer master who asked."
From the perspective of praying for good, it is natural to recruit Chao Lian to join. Gu Ren's adopted brother joins his lord, and it is more legitimate for the lord to take it to the south. Chao Lian is the signature! But Qishan also knew that Chao Lian would not easily accept someone other than Gu Ren as his master.
No one can replace Gu Ren’s position.
If Chao Lian has no idea, Qi Shan will be rejected if he comes forward to recruit for his lord, which will only embarrass both parties.
So he didn't come forward and let Gu Ren's eldest son find out his attitude.
Chao Lian’s response to this was—
"I met Mr. Shen before I came to Sibao. If you tell him this exactly, he will understand what it means."
The eldest nephew nodded in agreement.
He took the luggage from the servants one by one and stuffed them into the horse trousers, which were all sets of men's clothes. These were all made by my mother with her servants and maids. Considering that time was tight and the warriors were brave enough to survive the cold and summer, they only prepared them for spring and autumn.
In addition to Uncle Chao’s, there are also those of Uncle Six and Uncle Thirteen.
Clothes, money, dry food, daily utensils...
Fortunately, Chao Lian's war horse was of top quality, and the horse's back didn't even sway even with so many gadgets piled on its back. He turned over and jumped on the horse to sit firmly, holding the reins with both hands, looking at everyone with reluctance, and repeatedly warned: "Eldest nephew, you are the eldest son of the eldest brother, and you have to shoulder all the affairs of the house. If you have any difficulties, go to Mr. Shen first. , you can have normal contact with Big Brother’s old department, but don’t Being too close can easily lead to unnecessary suspicion. Remember that the only way for a family to prosper is to be respectful to your brothers and sisters. Don’t allow outsiders to bully you. Remember to be filial to your sister-in-law! The son led his younger brothers and sisters to clasp their fists in response.
"My nephew has memorized everything Uncle Chao said."
Chao Lian looked at the end of his sight and sighed: "My eldest brother has lived an open and bright life, and you brothers and sisters are his heirs. In the future, whether you are successful or unknown, you cannot disgrace the family tradition. If you let your uncles know-"
He slightly raised the riding whip in his hand.
He lowered his voice and looked serious: "Even though we are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, I will come back to clean up the house for my eldest brother!"
"Uncle Chao's teachings, my nephew will never forget them!"
Several children said in unison.
Chao Lian clasped his fists at his sister-in-law and said: "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will always flow. Sister-in-law, take care of yourself and see you someday."
"I also wish my uncle Bu Fan to be safe and have a safe journey."
There is no banquet in the world that never ends, everyone sent them off one way or another, but Chao Lian's figure finally disappeared at the end of the official road.
Gu Ren’s eldest son also relayed Chao Lian’s words to Qi Shan.
Qishan just said: "I know."
Gu Ren's eldest son tried to say something, but Qi Shan raised his hand to suppress it: "Your twelfth uncle has met my lord, so It is impossible for the lord to like talents and not have the idea of recruiting. Either the lord opened his mouth but was rejected, or the lord knew the answer and did not speak. "
At least for now, Chao. Lian has no fate with his master.
There are two possibilities, Qishan prefers the latter.
"Maybe one day in the future, fate will come."
Qi Shan patted Gu Ren's eldest son on the shoulder.
Signing him to go about his business.
This episode did not stir up much trouble. Qishan turned back to the official office and pulled out a letter from his lord from the desk full of letters. This letter arrived at the office with Chao Lian, and it was unprecedentedly non-verbal. Qi Shan knew at a glance that someone had ghostwritten it. If Gu Ren's eldest son had not left, one would have known that the matter was related to him after taking a look at the contents of the secret message. To be precise, it has something to do with Gu Ren's family.
Shen Tang wants to give Gu Ren a title, an official title, and a title. Although the title has no substantive rights, it is good-looking. The key is that the title can be passed on to Gu Ren’s children, so that Gu Ren’s old subordinates and Shangnan can Let the common people see that she did not treat this family badly.
This is a basic operation.
Under normal circumstances, when dynasties change, the royal family of the previous dynasty is treated as mascots and raised. This can be used to win people's hearts and appease the old ministers and remnants of the previous dynasty. Of course, there are also those who directly kill all the previous royal family. This can be done once and for all, but the evaluation of future generations may be mixed. Gu Ren is not the head of the country, and his family is not a royal family, but he has been upright and upright throughout his life and has done good deeds. Shen Tang took away Gu Ren's political legacy without bloodshed, so he needs to set up a mascot to show off.
Under normal circumstances, Shen Tang doesn't have to worry about this matter.
It should be rewarded and rewarded, it should be reused and reused.
But——
The situation of Gu Ren’s family is a bit complicated.
He has three sons and two daughters, among whom the eldest son who can legitimately inherit is an ordinary person. If the title is passed to him, the outside world may criticize Shen Tang for his sinister intentions and does not want Gu Ren's line to develop and prosper. If the eldest son is skipped and passed on to the talented younger son, the outside world will criticize Shen Tang for deliberately flattering him and sowing discord between their brothers. It will also put Gu Ren's eldest son in an embarrassing situation.
If the broken jar is passed down to his little daughter...
It would be even more troublesome to directly say that Shen Tang had eaten so much that not even the dregs were left. In short, no matter what you do, it’s not perfect.
The lord also added a complaint at the end of the letter: [Are these aristocratic families the reincarnation of gang spirits? Are you so capable of finding fault? He is not afraid that Gu Ren will talk to them in the middle of the night. 】
Because the above concerns were raised by several aristocratic families.
With Shen Tang's character, she doesn't care about these details at all. It doesn't matter how much people in the world criticize her, as long as she doesn't hear them. But out of respect for Gu Ren, we can't take this matter lightly and want to hear everyone's opinions.
Well, everyone!
Only Qin Li and Chu Yao were left with Shen Tang, and the others were sent out on business trips to take over the military affairs of various places. In order to know the opinions of her staff, she chose to send this secret letter to everyone. Qishan sat down and wrote a reply.
The reply was short, with only two words: [eldest son! 】
This is the most hard-to-make choice.
Gu Ren’s youngest son and daughter are both talented in cultivation. If they don’t care about power, they can focus on the mountains and rivers and become celebrities in the field. If they want fame, they can also serve as officials in the court. You can earn whatever fame you want by yourself, and you don't need to compete with your elder brother for anything.
As for the gossip about those aristocratic families?
The lord doesn't need to pay much attention.
When they are farting.
Unconsciously, dusk falls.
Qishan rubbed his sore neck. There were still a few unfinished volumes on the table, and he missed Liao Jia who was on a business trip even more. If Lio Jia was still here, he would have finished his work long ago. When the clerk came in to deliver things, Qi Shan asked casually.
“What time is it today?”
The clerk told the date.
Qishan counted the time with his fingers: "...Time flies by very quickly. It has been ten days since Shaomei left. I wonder if he has seen the master. No matter who it is, please come back..."< br>
Oh, even Qin Li will do! Qin Gongsu is an honest person, and he won't say a word no matter how many official documents are thrown at him.
Qi Shan likes to use his official duties to "bully" Qin Li.
At the same time, in Yanzhou, there is Xingyang Road.
A team of several hundred people were busy on their way. The young scribe at the head was dressed in red, and the color was a bit redder than the golden crow that was about to fall in the west. The man in red is sitting on a horse, with a gorgeous red plum stuck in his hair crown. The red plum swayed rhythmically with the young man's small body movements. He hummed an unknown southern tune softly, Wu Nong said softly.
Seeing that the last ray of afterglow was about to disappear and the air temperature dropped, the scribe in red suddenly tightened the reins with one hand and raised the other hand to signal the soldiers and horses behind to stop.
His gaze fell on the end of the road, and the slightly obscene smile on his lips disappeared, replaced by a frosty look. He pointed towards the no-man's land: "Those who know the truth, get out!"
As the words fell, the air in front became distorted.
A figure quietly emerged.
This man was dressed in smart clothes and holding a snow-white spear that looked like ice and snow in his arms. He looked exactly like a knight-errant. It's just that his demeanor is calm and stable, not as unruly and unruly as a ranger. Although he has murderous intent, he doesn't have the appearance of a lush green forest, and he looks more like a soldier.
The scribe in red clasped his fists: "Who are you?"
The young ranger said concisely and concisely: "Pick up the person."
He is not a bandit blocking the road, so there is no need to be vigilant.
The young man's eyes fell on the red plum hairpin standing in the wind on the head of the scribe in red, and he added: "I'm here to pick you up."
The job itself had nothing to do with him.
I just accidentally heard that there was a female Mohist in the team. He happened to be recruiting troops to farm nearby, so he simply took her over. Because it is a secret operation, the other side cannot raise a symbolic flag. But the lord also said that the leader is easy to recognize.
[As long as you see that the leader is a scribe, wearing either bright red or bright green, with flowers on his hair, and smiling like a personal trafficker, that is the target, and you are right. 】
The young man received the news that hundreds of people were entering the country and rushed over immediately. The moment he saw the scribe in red, he fell silent - the Lord is sincere and is really easy to recognize!
The scribe in red also remained silent for a while.
After checking the password, I found out who I was.
Turn over and dismount: "I'm ashamed, I didn't recognize the young general."
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.
Does my lord recruit people based on their faces now?
The young general in front of me is really outstanding!
"I'm Yun Ce, whose name is Yuanmou."
The scribe in red responded: "Liao Jia, Liao Shaomei."
He noticed that Yun Ce's eyes were a little absent-minded, as if he was looking away. He glanced behind him and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Yun Ce came back to his senses and felt a little embarrassed.
“I heard there was a female Mohist on this trip?”
Before Lio Jia could answer, the curtain of a carriage behind was suddenly lifted, revealing a head with messy hair and red sleep marks on his face. While sticking his head out, he shouted: "Hey, I seem to hear Yun Yuanmou's voice?"
Liao Jia looked at Yun Ce in astonishment.
Yun Ce smiled awkwardly: "It's an old friend."
After speaking, he raised his voice again: "Tweet, here!"
The female Mohist determined the source of the voice, Loudly: "You told me to call me Zhoukou, chirp chirp chirp, do you want to raise birds?"

The Mohists took over the technology and hard work of the literary world.
The rules of this world have changed after the Cataclysm, and the technology tree will climb in another way that is more in line with the background.
