The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

Xu Minqing's temperament is naturally cold, and he doesn't know whether it is because of this natural temperament that he doesn't care about gossip about the Xu family's big house and the village, or because he has heard too much gossip. In terms of background, he never thought of complaining about anything, and he didn't let himself become cynical. In the eyes of his parents, he was still a good, obedient and filial son, and his parents and elder brother couldn't help but favor him more and more. , in order to make up for others pointing at him.

With such a temperament, it is undoubtedly deceitful to want to have any feelings for the Jiang family who suddenly appeared.

But Jiang Feng didn't know, he only thought that Xu Xingda and his wife were well-bred, and whether the Jiang family could rise again, the hope was on the young master.

"Apart from Second Uncle's family, who else are there?" Xu Minqing asked again after considering in his mind.

Jiang Feng was pleasantly surprised by the "Second Uncle". It seems that the young master is still willing to admit that he is from the Jiang family, and he was quick to realize who the young master was referring to, so he said everything without thinking.The only masters of the Jiang family are the second master's family, but because the Jiang family's upright style is tolerant to the servants, even if the Jiang family collapses, there are still many servants who have benefited from the Jiang family voluntarily chasing after them, including Jiang Feng, he came out voluntarily to do some small business to add some income to the master's family, and also to improve the lives of several masters.

In addition to Jiang Feng, there are two other servants who live next to the second master of the Jiang family. On the surface, they help the second master Jiang to plow the fields and do some needlework, but secretly protect the second master Jiang's family. No one knows. Will those people secretly harm the last blood of the Jiang family?

Xu Minqing thought about it secretly. The people who stayed by his second uncle's side couldn't move at all. Any movement would easily arouse people's suspicion. Fengshen has started, and Jiang Feng's two sons are already helping him, which seems to be enough for now, so Xu Minqing said: "Right now I will stay in Kang County for a while, your family will find a way to settle in Kang County, as for me I'm not busy talking to my second uncle about the situation, anyway, I have to guard the three-year filial piety of my parents, so I have three years to accumulate."

"Yes, young master." Jiang Feng said excitedly.

"Let's go together. When you find a place to stay, tell me the address. You don't have to come here to look for me again." Xu Minqing dropped the tea money and got up first, and Jiang Feng hurriedly followed. Xu Minqing didn't want him to have contact with outsiders. The situation fell into the eyes of the eldest brother, so it is better to avoid it.

He grabbed a few books and papers in his hand, and he was trying to raise money when his elder brother left. All he can do now is to copy the books for others. He is also confident that even if his elder brother returns, he can do it under his nose. With more money in his hand, Jiang Feng's family will be able to take root in Kang County smoothly, and he will go to Yanzhou in the future, and he believes that will be his home.

Exiting the teahouse and sweeping his eyes, Xu Minqing's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and he was about to run over without thinking, but thinking of Jiang Feng beside him, he froze for a while and hurriedly whispered to the one who was one step behind. Jiang Feng said: "My elder brother is back, you leave quickly." After the confession, regardless of Jiang Feng's expression, he hurriedly moved away.

Jiang Fengzao was extremely curious about the big brother who was being defended by the little master, but he didn't dare to ignore the little master's words, so he walked a few steps in the other direction before looking there like a passerby, only to see a face that was slightly darkened The tall young man led the ox and walked towards this direction. He was dressed plainly and looked like he came from an out-and-out farmer's family, but his straight waist and flying look were slightly different. He came out of Jiang's house Yes, he still has this vision.

Hearing the little master's joyful call, the tall young man immediately showed a big smile, and shouted: "Minqing, brother is back."

Xu Minqing walked a few steps and rushed to the elder brother. Before he had time to look at his dusty face, he was hugged by the elder brother, almost making him yell, and then he was put in front of the bullock cart amidst the elder brother's laughter. , the hearty voice was extremely brisk: "Sit still, brother will take you home, it seems that our brothers really have a good understanding, let Minqing come out early to pick up brother, by the way, I bought some good things and came back, Let's go home and make up for you, studying is the most brain-intensive."

"Brother, where have you been these few days? Are all the goods in the car received by the elder brother? I think the elder brother needs to make up for it. After going out, the elder brother has lost weight." Xu Minqing was infected by the elder brother's laughter, The smile on his face couldn't stop overflowing, and he talked happily with his eldest brother, as if he wanted to make up for the separation of these few days.

Watching the two brothers keep going away, and the cheerful chatter and laughter kept coming into his ears, Jiang Feng's eyes couldn't help sore. He could see that the smile on the little master's face was from the heart, and only his elder brother was in his eyes. One person, without even looking over from the corner of his eye, such a little master is completely different from the calm and self-reliant in front of him, and only really looks like a 12-year-old child.

The relationship between the two brothers is really good, even the brothers did not get over it.

At the door of the house, Xu Bei carried Xu Minqing out of the car again, and couldn't help but rubbed his head vigorously with his big palm. He felt that something was missing outside these few days.

If someone else did this to him, Xu Minqing would have fought back a long time ago, but just like his elder brother, he also missed and enjoyed this intimacy that belonged to him very much. stand up.

Granny Qian opened the courtyard door with a squeak when she heard the commotion outside, she smiled and squinted her eyes, and her voice was very loud: "Hey, Boy Bei is back, and Boy Qing has been talking about you at home for several days, and finally read you back, Come into the house quickly, I have to cook and add a few more dishes, so that you two brothers can have a good time."

Only then did Xu Bei move his palm away, and while pulling Min Qing up, he led the cow inside, and responded: "Mother-in-law has been working hard these days, by the way, mother-in-law, wait a moment, I brought back some mountain goods, mother-in-law is good at craftsmanship Let Minqing have a taste, and then mother-in-law will bring some back for your grandchildren to taste."

"Okay, boy Bei is capable. I will thank him on behalf of the brats in my family." Granny Qian responded straightforwardly.

Both of Xu Bei's hands were occupied, and he beckoned to indicate a basket on Minqing's car, which contained fresh wild animals and mushrooms taken out in advance, and asked him to give it to Granny Qian.

Granny Qian took it with a smile, and flipped through it with her hands, but they were all good things, and she liked the brothers even more.In her eyes, scholars are precious, but the most real thing is Xu Bei, a big boy. Seeing that the ox carts are full of goods this time, he will definitely earn a lot of money, and he can support his family at a young age. It's not easy, if she has such capable children and grandchildren, she won't have to work at her age to support the family.

Xu Bei went into the yard and let Min Qing go, and tied the cow into the cowshed, saying, "Min Qing, get some water and fodder for the cow, this journey is hard enough for him."

"Understood, big brother, big brother, go wash up first, I'll move the goods in the car." Xu Minqing responded.

"As long as you can move your little arms and legs, I'll do it. I'll wash up after I've moved it. Okay, let's go." Pushing Min Qing who was teased by him to pretend to be unhappy, Xu Bei Haha smiled and walked into the house with a bag in one hand. Xu Minqing, who was despised, looked down at his small body, then thought about his elder brother's figure, pinched the soft flesh on his arm, wiped away his tears, or Pick up an easy job to do, but he will catch up with big brother one day, well, work hard.

"Brother, I'll get up early tomorrow morning to fight boxing with you." Xu Minqing in the yard shouted loudly to Xu Bei in the room.

"You boy, I'm not lazy these days, my skin is itchy, isn't it?" Xu Bei's voice came from the room.

"It's not that I'm lazy, I don't remember how to fight." Xu Minqing raised his voice and responded, he is talented in reading, but when it comes to martial arts, it can only be said that people are biased, he is destined not to be both civil and martial arts.

"Haha..." Apparently Xu Bei also knew about his younger brother's "special subject".

After twenty minutes of busy work, Xu Bei, who was refreshed and changed into clean clothes, talked to Xu Minqing while drinking water.In the mountains, he was very greedy for hot springs, but both Miracle Doctor Lin and the Fourth Young Master told him to stay away. When he finally got a chance to take a bath after returning, he wished to rub off a layer of skin on his body, feeling that his weight had lightened.

Xu Bei talked about the situation of receiving goods outside and the situation in the mountains, and Xu Minqing talked about the situation of studying in the academy and the new classmates and friends he made. The two brothers were happy and harmonious, and the deserted room was warm again.

Granny Qian cooked the dishes and served them to the brothers, and Xu Bei didn't refuse to ask her to bring them back, and the boys in the family could eat meat again.

"Come on, eat more meat so that your body can grow strong. Your brother has been eating these wild animals for the past few days." Xu Bei picked a large piece of meat from Xu Minqing's bowl.

"Brother, you should eat more too. People who are exposed to wind and rain outside lose weight." Xu Minqing also felt sorry for his elder brother, "Brother, you said that Brother Qiu who took you to the mountains would come to our house? Met Brother Zhang?" Xu Minqing had a curious expression, and then urged him to continue talking, although he felt a little sour because he made another friend, but most of his energy was focused on the safety of his brother going out and those people. Is it reliable above.

"Yeah, although Brother Qiu's face is troublesome, once you get in touch with him, you will know that he is a straight-tempered guy. This time, the elder brother can receive these high-quality mountain goods thanks to Brother Qiu leading the way. By the way, there is one more thing I have to tell you, Min Qing," Xu Bei put down his bowls and chopsticks when he thought about the Fourth Young Master, and became cautious, ran out to close the courtyard door, and then came back and said in a low voice, "You know the Fourth Young Master of the Palace, right? I happened to meet the Fourth Young Master for a little help, so Lao Qiu and I became the Fourth Young Master's people, and we will help the Fourth Young Master run errands in the future, so I made it clear to prevent you from worrying..."

Not only did Xu Bei who said this feel a little weird about becoming the Fourth Young Master, but even Xu Minqing grasped the elder brother's arm tightly, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Xu Bei thought that his younger brother was worried about his safety, so he patted his hand to comfort him and explained, "It's not a big deal, you know that I know how to farm the land and do some small business, the fourth son also deliberately made it for the sake of that little busyness." Take care of me, Lao Qiu also lost an eye in the battlefield, so don't worry about anything bad, how many people want to climb the palace will not have this chance, Min Qing, you should be happy, your big brother is so lucky , ran out for a trip and got to know the nobleman, and the Fourth Young Master said..." Xu Bei repeated the Fourth Young Master's promise to Min Qing, hoping that Min Qing would be happy after hearing it.

On the way back, Xu Bei thought over and over again, and decided not to disclose the matter of the space to others. If Min Qing knew about it, he would only take an extra risk. As for the help to the Fourth Young Master, it is only said that thanks to Lao Qiu and the others, they found a miraculous doctor for the Fourth Young Master, and for this reason the Fourth Young Master rewarded them.

Whether it's space or immortality, Xu Bei decided that the less people know about it, the better. Before, he thought things were too simple. The ancient society was not the modern environment with well-connected transportation.

"Brother," Xu Minqing held Xu Bei's hand tightly, loosely and tightly. He didn't expect that the elder brother would have something to do with the fourth son. After knowing his possible origin, he inquired a lot about Beidi from his classmates and Jiang Feng. In the current situation, the fourth son mentioned by the elder brother is completely different from what he inquired about. This made him keenly aware of the inner crisis, and subconsciously wanted his elder brother to drop such an errand. But, in the future, he will support his elder brother, but the words in his throat make him swallow again. Seeing his elder brother's expectant and hopeful gaze, he can't help but take a deep breath, and bury all his emotions in the In the deepest part of my heart, I showed a joyful smile as my elder brother wished, "The fourth son really promised to give me a place to participate in the competition? Even our entire Xingzhi Academy may not be able to get a place, and the road that the elder brother said My lord, it must be very extraordinary."

"But," Xu Minqing revealed a worried look when the conversation changed, "What will the fourth son ask the elder brother to do? Is it dangerous to do things for the fourth son?" The anxiety and uneasiness in his heart could not be concealed in his voice.

"Don't worry," Xu Bei snorted his younger brother's head as if he didn't care, "With the Wangfu as the backer, how can there be any danger? The Wangfu is the biggest here, and besides, you can use this to avenge your parents' revenge .” When exchanging terms with the fourth son, he thought about using the fourth son’s hand to find out the matter, so that those who killed his parents would get what they deserved, but no matter how politically savvy he is, he can see the current situation. The general army cannot be moved, especially now that the fourth son is going to the capital to borrow food from the court, it is better to fight for more direct benefits for Minqing. He believes that the palace is also very dissatisfied with court personnel like Ma Zongbing. It will definitely be uprooted, and such things as killing good men and taking meritorious service will definitely become an important crime of Ma Zongbing.

So there is no rush, just wait for the right time.

"...Brother..." Xu Minqing got up and sat next to his brother, stretched out his arms and hugged his waist, buried his face in his chest, covering up the complex emotions in his eyes, his voice was a little choked, everything that my brother did was for He, and how could the palace be safe, otherwise how could Zongbing Ma act so boldly, and how could the Fourth Young Master be born weak and need to cover up his reputation.

While comforting his younger brother, Xu Bei sighed in his heart. After all, it is a child. Although it is not his own, whoever raises it will go to him. In the future, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in Beidi by relying on his own ability, and he will also benefit from it. As a literati, he doesn't need to go to the front line to fight, which makes Xu Bei feel more at ease, and he can also make contributions in the rear.

Xu Bei is still a bit selfish about his younger brother who is dependent on each other. It is better to study literature than martial arts, and besides, his younger brother is not expected to practice martial arts.

"By the way, I'm going to start boxing with me tomorrow. Also, I originally wanted to tell Big Brother Zhang that I could find two good people who can take care of the house and teach people to practice martial arts. Unfortunately, I forgot about it in a mess at the time. But if there is a better candidate to come to the Wangfu, there is no need to worry about Big Brother Zhang, after all, I am also working for the Wangfu now."

"Well, what elder brother said is true." Xu Minqing raised his head, "It doesn't matter to me, elder brother often walks outside, and he needs someone to protect him."

"Understood, I have to save my life to enjoy Minqing's blessings in the future, and then I will do nothing and wait for you to come back with money to support me." Xu Bei joked.

"Okay." Xu Minqing replied seriously, at that moment Xu Bei really had the feeling that his brother wanted to keep him in captivity at home, it must be his illusion, his brother is so well-behaved and sensible.

After dinner, Xu Minqing scrambled to clean up the table and wash the dishes. Xu Bei wiped his mouth happily and lay down on the kang. The heated kang made Xu Bei sigh comfortably. Except at Brother Tieniu's house, he didn't have a bed during this time Get a good night's sleep.When Xu Minqing came back, he was almost squinting his eyes, and forced Minqing to bring him the Three-Character Classic and the charcoal pen and paper he was used to. Yes, it was the Three-Character Classic. Although Xu Beiluo became illiterate here, he I also have an enterprising spirit, at least... I must read all the basic characters. After all, my brother can't be with me at any time and can be picked up when needed. Therefore, the great cause of literacy must be carried out.

Xu Minqing was writing with his wrist raised at the desk. Xu Bei didn't know that he was copying a book, but he leaned against the head of the bed and squinted his eyes to ponder a few complicated characters from time to time, and occasionally wrote something on the paper, waiting for Xu Minqing to copy ten pages of the book. When his eyes were sour, he put down his pen and rubbed his eyes. Looking back, his elder brother had already fallen asleep on the side, still making small purring sounds. Xu Minqing immediately slowed down and walked over gently, pulling the quilt on his elder brother. Sitting on the edge of the Kang, he stared at his elder brother's face for a long time.

Others said that he was born well, but he liked the big brother, who made people feel calm when he saw thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he felt safe and trustworthy for no reason when he was around such a person.

Gently take away the paper in elder brother’s hand, and look at the written content under the light. During this period of time, when I think of elder brother, I will find out what elder brother wrote. I can basically recognize all the characters that I recognized at first, so it’s easy Just read what's on the paper.

This is the plan written by the eldest brother, is the eldest brother going to open a grain store and a grocery store?Xu Minqing frowned. It is understandable to have a grocery store with mountain goods, but the word "grain store" circled by the elder brother with a pen made Xu Minqing feel confused and feel bad at the same time. He turned to see his elder brother asleep. It seems that the elder brother has concealed something from himself.

Doing things for the fourth son should not be as simple as what the elder brother said on the surface. The reason why the elder brother didn't say anything was because he didn't want to worry himself. This made Xu Minqing feel warm in his heart, but at the same time he secretly hated himself for being only 12 years old. The age-restricted Big Brother certainly doesn't allow himself too much exposure.

But even though he doesn't let himself ask, he can still inquire quietly in secret. Although he enjoys his elder brother's love for him, he doesn't like the feeling of being excluded by his elder brother.

Xu Minqing carefully memorized the content on the paper, and then put it within reach of his eldest brother after he woke up.

He went back to the table and continued to copy the book. He didn't stop until he finished copying the remaining half of the book. He stretched his waist and twisted his neck. He smiled with satisfaction when he saw his results, but briskly Climbed onto the kang, hugged elder brother's waist and rubbed elder brother's chest, and closed his eyes.

Lao Qiu rushed over at noon on the second day. Although Xu Bei asked him to stay at home with his family and children for two days, he was very energetic when he had something to do, and he couldn't wait for a moment.

"Your little yard is not bad. It's just right for the two brothers to live together." Lao Qiu turned back and forth.

Xu Bei pointed to the next door and said, "The house on the side hasn't been rented yet, or if you rent it, you can just bring your sister-in-law and children here."

Lao Qiu shook his head and said, "Forget it, there are old people and children at home, and land. Your sister-in-law can't live without her. Besides, she's used to me being on the go." Afterwards, he found someone else to be his son-in-law, and he didn't mind it himself. Besides, now that his second child took his surname, he was very satisfied.

"Okay then, you can huddle with me, Min Qing and I share a room, and the other is just for you." The weather was getting colder and colder, but he and Min Qing were warmer by being huddled together.

"Okay, I've been hearing you talk about your brother all the time, but it's a pity that the time is too late and your brother is not here." Lao Qiu wanted to see Boy Bei's brother, and see if he was as good as he said.

"I'll spend more time with Minqing in the future. My brother is different from a vulgar person like me. He has been studying since he was a child." Xu Bei said proudly. I admire him very much, not to mention that this is his younger brother, he feels like a parent showing off his child to others.

Lao Qiu felt that his eyes were about to go blind, and he thought of his two sons depressingly. He wanted to send one of them to school, but neither of them was talented, but the second child followed him and had some talent in martial arts. You will definitely become a great talent, but you don’t have to worry about going out to make a living.
