After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

Two days later, Tang Shuyi took Xiao Yuzhu to Xiaoyao Palace again, and the concubine was naturally very happy.At the guild hall, Princess Changping became a frequent visitor.Xiao Yuming followed General Xiang, seeing progress day by day.

The days passed like this for a while. On this day, Tang Shuyi was taking Xiao Yuzhu to read in the study. Cuiyun came over with a greeting card and said, "Madam, the post from the Li Guogong's mansion said that he will come to visit tomorrow."

Tang Shuyi took the greeting card and opened it, and saw that it was signed by Mrs. Lao Li Guogong.She was a little puzzled, the Marquis of Yongning and the Duke of Li's mansion didn't have much contact with each other on weekdays, why the old lady of the Duke of Li came to visit suddenly.But she didn't take it too seriously, she would know when she saw someone tomorrow.

"Old Li Guogong was a man who followed the late emperor to fight for the country, and he was also a person who was praised, but unfortunately there was no successor." Tang Shuyi told Xiao Yuzhu about Li Guogong's affairs.

"Before the old Li Guogong died, his sons were fighting for the title. After his death, those brothers didn't communicate with each other anymore. And the current Li Guogong is mediocre and can't afford it. big responsibility.

At the beginning, he was also on duty in the court, but the several missions assigned by the emperor were poorly handled by him, so he had to go home and be idle in the end, and the same was true for his brothers.Therefore, the Duke of Li's mansion saw its decline. "

Xiao Yuzhu listened carefully, and Tang Shuyi told her again, "If a family wants to continue to prosper, it must have successors."

"What if there are no intelligent offspring?" Xiao Yuzhu said.

Tang Shuyi couldn't help laughing, "Let's not talk about a big family with so many descendants, it's impossible not to have a smart person, even if there is no one, if you know how to educate, you can still educate people to become talents."

Xiao Yuzhu looked puzzled, and Tang Shuyi explained to her, "It is true that people are born with intelligence and non-intelligence, but a person who is not intelligent, as long as he is not a fool, must have one or two advantages in him.

Just like your eldest brother is talented in reading, your second brother is talented in martial arts, Qi Er and Yan Wu are good at dealing with people, some people are good at painting, some people are proficient in mathematics, etc., as long as he is good at Play it anywhere.If the things you are good at are used well, they will definitely be useful, and if they are useful, they will have value, and they will be able to make a difference.

In a family, even if everyone's strengths cannot be brought into full play, if only a few people are caught, let them play their strengths and help each other, the family will not decline.Of course, the main reason for the decline of Li Guogong's mansion is his brother Xiao Qiang, which is a big taboo. "

Xiao Yuzhu was thoughtful, Tang Shuyi patted her head, "It's okay if you don't understand now, think about it later."

Xiao Yuzhu nodded.

.........

Not long after breakfast on the second day, Mrs. Lao Li Guogong's wife arrived.When Tang Shuyi brought Xiao Yuzhu to greet her, she realized that Princess Carrian was also coming with her, and the two hurriedly saluted.

But halfway through the ceremony, Princess Carnegie smiled and helped Tang Shuyi up, "Ma'am, you don't have to do this."

Mrs. Lao Li Guogong also said with a smile: "She is a child, so she doesn't have so much etiquette."

Tang Shuyi naturally said that etiquette cannot be abandoned, and then led them into the hall together.After sitting down, there was naturally another exchange of pleasantries, and then Princess Jianing said: "On the way to Beijing from the fiefdom, I met Prince Xiao, and he asked me to bring something back."

Tang Shuyi was taken aback for a moment, she couldn't figure it out, even though Xiao Yuchen met Princess Jia Ning on the road, but they were not familiar with each other at all, how could Princess Jia Ning bring something back?

At this time, I heard Lao Li Guogong's wife say: "These two children have suffered a lot and walked through the gate of hell."

Tang Shuyi raised her heart as soon as she heard it, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Princess Jianing saw her worried face, and hurriedly said: "Madam, don't worry, Shizi Xiao is fine, and everyone who is traveling with him is also fine."

Hearing what she said, Tang Shuyi felt relieved, but she still asked, "What happened?"

Princess Jianing saw that she was in a hurry, so he immediately told the whole story.It turned out that the group of them walked outside Mahua Town, Wudong County that day. They originally took the official road, but it rained a few days ago, and the official road was destroyed by the flood. .It was there that they met Xiao Yuchen and his party.

They didn't know each other at first, and the two groups didn't say hello at that time, but they made a detour there together.The two groups added up to dozens of people, and thought there should be no problem at first, but when they walked to a place with dense forests, a group of bandits suddenly rushed out from the nearby forest.

Although they all brought guards, there were too many bandits and they were outnumbered. When the whole army was about to be annihilated, Xiao Yuchen and Princess Jianing made a decision at the same time to cover the two of them to go out and report.

Xiao Yuchen and Princess Jianing were the main targets of the bandits, so the two of them naturally had no way of escaping. Xiao Yuchen let Changfeng go, and Princess Carnegie let her brother Li Jinghao escape.

Chang Feng and Li Jinghao also lived up to their expectations, and escaped as expected, while Xiao Yuchen and Princess Jianing were taken captive to the mountain.Maybe the bandits saw that Xiao Yuchen and Princess Jianing were in charge, or maybe there were other reasons, anyway, they locked them together.

Even though it was a lonely man and a widow who were locked together, neither of them was embarrassed. After all, their lives were hanging by a thread, and there was no time to think about anything else.The two were silent for a while, and Xiao Yuchen spoke first: "I'm from Shangjing, this is Yongning Hou Shizi, I don't know if Miss is...?"

"I am the daughter of Prince Duan, titled Jianing." Princess Jianing said.

The two got to know each other like this, and then discussed countermeasures together, Xiao Yuchen said: "Even if my chief follower and your brother escaped and found the county magistrate in the county seat, the county government has no officers and soldiers, and there is no way to attack the cottage to save us. You have to find a way to escape."

Princess Jianing nodded, then got up and walked around the room, looking for a place to escape.Seeing this, Xiao Yuchen also searched for it, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.But they found that the room next door was shutting up the rest of their group.

Princess Jianing found a small hole in the wall, and then called her guard softly towards the small hole. After the guard heard it, he used brute force to remove a brick from the small hole, and the people in the two rooms This is where we can secretly communicate.

Whether it was Xiao Yuchen's guards or the guards of Princess Jia Ning, they were all skilled, and they were captured because they were outnumbered.In particular, one of the guards under Princess Jianing had the ability to pick locks.

In this way, they discussed in secret, and when the bandits were asleep at night, the guard who could unlock the lock would unlock it, and they escaped together.Later, the plan went smoothly, and the group of them escaped from the stronghold, but the bandits soon discovered and chased them.

Later, at a critical moment, they met Chang Feng and Li Jinghao who brought the rescuers, Xiao Yuchen and Princess Jianing were saved.
