Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Song Qiao looked at Xu Yun's young, even childish face, and was a little dazed for a moment.

Finally, I feel relieved: What's wrong with being young? It's good to be young!

Song Qiao smiled again, and looked at Xu Yun with a gentler gaze, as if he was looking at a treasure: "Ah Yun, keep these words in your heart and don't tell anyone else."

Xu Yun did not respond obediently, but asked, "Mr. Song, is it because these ideas are wrong?"

"That's right." Song Qiao did not hesitate and responded directly, even laughing: "It's because it's so right that it seems a bit ruthless."

Song Qiao picked a handful of mulberries and put them into Xu Yun's basket, then said, "People who are ruthless are bound to be despised and criticized. They are even more feared by others."

Xu Yun understood what Song Qiao meant. He thanked him first and then asked, "What about the two emperors? What do you think of them?"

Song Qiao looked at Xu Yun, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

But there was no one else here, so Song Qiao answered: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs."

"It is precisely this kind of unkindness that allows everything in the world to have its own destiny."

“Unkindness, sometimes, is a great kindness.”

"To treat everything the same actually means to have compassion for everything."

"Governing a country..." Song Qiao paused: "Sometimes, you need to be ruthless."

Song Qiao lowered his voice a little: "Your Majesty, sometimes you can be too merciful."

Xu Yun was stunned.

Song Qiao looked at Xu Yun's dazed look and smiled: "They... can be soft-hearted, protective, hesitant, impatient, and have many shortcomings. But this makes it easier for people to get close to them and love them."

"But sometimes things can go wrong."

Song Qiao's tone was more praiseful: "But I have to say that they are rare kings in the ages."

Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and felt less shocked.

After all, from what Song Qiao said, he was still a little dissatisfied...

This is really terrifying.

Before he knew it, the basket was filled with dark red mulberries, and Song Qiao's hands were covered with purple-red marks.

He came down from the ladder, picked a handful of mulberry leaves, crushed them to squeeze out the juice, rubbed off all the traces on his hands, and then washed his hands.

Xu Yun picked up a mulberry, put it in his mouth, and then he couldn't help but squint his eyes in satisfaction because of the sweetness.

The mulberries on this tree taste really good.

After washing his hands, Song Qiao looked up and saw Xu Yun eating secretly. He immediately felt funny: "These are all for you, why don't you wash them first? Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea?"

Xu Yun laughed, "I just tried one."

Lu An had just put down his book and looked over. At this moment, for some reason, he had an illusion: it was like a grandfather taking his granddaughter, and the kind of close relationship they had.

Song Qiao turned around and waved to Lu An: "Let's go pick some vegetables and cook. You will still be the one to light the fire when the time comes."

Lu An responded quickly.

The three of them were busy again.

Song Qiao talked a lot and reminded the two of what to do in the examination room.

Finally, he said, "After this exam, the last one will be in front of His Majesty. Don't be afraid. It's okay. If you are really nervous, just think about it. After all, you will be an official in the future. You will see each other every few days, if not every day. What are you afraid of?"

Lu An agreed.

Xu Yun asked, "Are you going out?"

Song Qiao admitted: "I'm going out on an errand. It will probably take me several months to come back."

Lu An was surprised at Xu Yun's sharpness and boldness - he had thought about it, but he just never thought of asking.

After all, this is Song Qiao's private matter.

If I ask, I'm afraid it will seem like I'm spying on you. I've lost my boundaries.

Xu Yunyi continued, "Then be careful when you go out. Bring a few more people with you. Although we are safe now, you may encounter wild animals or something."

"Besides, eating out is not as good as at home, so bring some dry food. I have ground rice paste at home, which is fried and ground. You can eat it by just boiling water. It's convenient when you're out. I'll have someone send some over later, so don't refuse."

Song Qiao was stunned, but felt very happy in his heart: "You are such a worried kid."

After dinner, Lu An cleared the dishes and washed them, and Xu Yun also wiped the table clean.

Then, the two said goodbye together.

Song Qiao is old and not as energetic as young people, so he should take a break at noon.

Moreover, both of them wanted to go back and take a look at the note that Song Qiao had given them today.

Song Qiao did not keep the two of them for long, and only gave them one final reminder: "You all come from humble backgrounds, so you should help each other."

Xu Yun and Lu An both agreed solemnly.

After coming out of Song Mansion, Xu Yun asked Lu An, "Brother An, do you want to go get my notebook now, or should I ask someone to send it over later?"

Lu An hurriedly said that he would go get it today, and was once again grateful for Xu Yun's thoughtfulness and generosity.

When they arrived at Xu Yun's house, Xu Yun not only gave Lu An a copy of the letter, but also gave him a basket of champion cakes: "Take it back and let your sister-in-law and aunt have a taste. It tastes good. It will also bring good luck."

Lu An quickly thanked him.

After seeing Lu An off, Gao Yu asked Xu Yun, "Wasn't he close to you last time? How come he had the nerve to come to your house to get something this time?"

Xu Yun sometimes loves and hates Gao Yu's words: "He is not a bad person, he is just trying to protect himself. There is nothing wrong with that. Moreover, this is what Mr. Song expects."

Putting aside the desire for personal gain, Xu Yun was willing to give it even if it was for Song Qiao's sake.

She had no way to repay Song Qiao for his kindness to her.

When Gao Yu heard that it was Song Qiao's idea, his dissatisfaction disappeared and he snorted, "Forget it, let him have a good life."

Then, Gao Yu happily took Xu Yun to wash mulberries and eat them.

Even Xie Wanqing and Hongyu were pulled over.

Gao Yu spoke highly of mulberries.

But these mulberries are indeed delicious.

After eating the mulberries, Xu Yun washed his hands and then went to the study to concentrate on reading.

Naturally, what he was reading was the letter given by Song Qiao.

This notebook contains my views on some new policies.

Some of the angles are very tricky and the evaluations are very delicate.

Xu Yun read it almost in one breath.

It took two hours.

However, this is just a rough first pass.

Xu Yun felt that he had gained a lot.

Moreover, some of her opinions were different from those in the notebook, so once they were compared, the gains were even greater.

Afterwards, she felt even more grateful to Song Qiao.

She even suspected that many things in this notebook were Song Qiao's own opinions and ideas.

Xu Yun had no way to repay him, so he added a large bag of dried vegetables and dried meat to the package he sent to Song Qiao - they would also be great for making soup!

In addition, Xu Yun sent invitations to Zeng Wuji and Zhao Mu overnight, asking them to come quickly to copy the letter.

On the other side, Lu Anye did the same thing.
