Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 133 I am so relieved
As night fell, there was a faint sound of silk and bamboo coming from the other side of the wall along with the night wind, but the atmosphere in the room was calm and silent.

"Brother, I..."

Yu Tiao turned sideways slightly, rubbed his somewhat numb legs with his hands, opened his dry mouth to explain a few words, but seeing his elder brother's serious face, he felt timid and closed his mouth embarrassingly.

In the past two years, although he has often been busy in Jinling for the affairs of hermits and nobles, and occasionally thinks about the prosperity of Jiankang in his spare time, he will also come here for a few days, just to avoid being restrained, and not to return to his house in Qingshi Lane. house.After the scale of Yinjue's pension grew and the amount of floating wealth in his hands increased, he bought this other house in Xiaochanggan, southwest of the city.

Although this house occupies a small area, the interior decoration is extremely luxurious, and it has raised many servants and actors.But because he was worried that his family would be blamed, Yu Tiao never revealed it at home, and secretly used it as a place to have a feast with his friends.After entering the capital this time, after parting with Shen Zhezi, Yu Tiao came here with others immediately.

Who knows that the banquet is halfway through, but the eldest brother Yu Liang suddenly arrives, which makes Yu Tiao startled and frightened.Although he has a lot of unbearable temperament, but his father Yu Chen was still young when he died. He followed his elder brother Yu Liang since he was a child.Now that he did so many things behind his brother's back, and was caught again, before Yu Liang could speak, he was already half timid in his heart.

Since entering the manor, Yu Liang has not spoken a word, silent and stern, but his eyes are cruising around the manor, as if he wants to observe carefully.

"Eldest, elder brother, second brother, he went to Yuzhang to work, why didn't he know that he would meet at home? I only heard about this when I entered the capital today, and I couldn't make it in time to see him off..."

After a while, Yu Tiao couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, so he said with a forced smile.It's just that after seeing the big brother's eyes turn to look at him, his breath became less and less breathless, and his tone gradually became low and inaudible.Embarrassment suddenly arose in his heart, he suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Brother, how do you feel? You can tell me directly! I also have a family, and I am already a father. Isn't it okay to set up a garden property besides the family house?"

Hearing Yu Tiao's words, Yu Liang, who was like a statue, finally had a glimmer of life.The corners of his mouth curled up, and a smile appeared on his face, but because of his whole temperament, he appeared a little serious. He smiled and said to Yu Tiao: "Young Xu is already a grown-up, and he has already thought about taking on the family business. My heart Very comforting."

Hearing what Yu Liang said, Yu Tiao's face changed, and his expression became a little stiff. After a long while, he said: "Brother, you, you are not angry because I set up another job?"

"Why should I be angry? Brothers have their own responsibilities, responsibilities, and plans. This is human nature. You have already passed away, and if you still fail to achieve anything, I will be disappointed and feel ashamed of my late father."

Yu Liang sighed with emotion, and motioned Yu Tiao to move the seat to sit beside him, with a gentle expression: "If you are dissatisfied, there is still a little bit after all. You bought a property in the capital, the garden villa should cost a lot, right? You have never served as a residence official, so why didn't you discuss such a big matter with your family? If it really is necessary, and the money is short, the elder brother should make up for it."

Yu Tiao was ecstatic to hear that the eldest brother not only did not blame himself, but was so considerate.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the front yard of the manor, and Yu Tiao couldn't help frowning, lest his senior friends who were drunk and dissipated would offend his elder brother.

Fortunately, the noise only lasted for a moment, and then there was no sound again. Yu Tiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Yu Liang: "It's really my fault that I didn't know the family. As for the money spent, don't worry about it, brother. Although I don't have a job, the past few years at home have not been wasted, and I have worked with a few acquainted children, and now I have a small fortune."

Talking about his achievements in the past two years, Yu Tiao gradually became elated: "I didn't intend to hide from my eldest brother, but firstly, my eldest brother has a lot of affairs, and secondly, merchants are always cheap. My eldest brother has not returned home for a long time. I don't know that my family's house in Jinling has grown For being different..."

Yu Liang smiled and nodded while listening, and waited until Yu Tiao's description came to an end, before saying, "I don't know about such a big change in my family. Listening to You Xu talking about this, I feel that I have neglected my duty."

"Elder brother, why should you blame yourself, these things are what I should do. The elder brother is doing things outside, and the younger brother should guard the door and run for my family business."

Seeing how the eldest brother treated him with such a gentle attitude, Yu Tiao gradually lost his composure: "It's only because you are cautious and restrained by nature, elder brother, that I don't dare to let people report these things. Although virtuous conduct is enough to survive in the world, it takes a long time for a family business to pass on." If the descendants are talented, they will assist the emperor to govern the people. If the famous books and history books are not good, they can keep the family self-sufficient and be kind to the village when they retreat. There are evidences for advance and retreat, which is the way to pass on the family."

He used to talk about these words when he went to visit his friends, but today he said them subconsciously in front of his eldest brother: "The granary knows the etiquette when it is real, and it knows the honor and disgrace when it has enough food and clothing. Wealth and wealth cannot stand side by side. Those who think this way are either foolish or deceitful. Foolish people are not my friends!"

"If I have a luxurious car, I am afraid that the road will be rough; if I have beautiful clothes, I am afraid that the wind and rain will come; Why? I am afraid that people will harm me, but I am kind to others. People have the same heart, and things have the same reason. If everyone in the world has this heart of fear and this heart of grace, it will not be a great order!"

"Young Xu's theory is quite interesting. It is out of meaning, but it seems to be in reason, which makes people think."

Yu Liang also didn't expect Yu Tiao to make such a comment. After listening to it, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and said in a tone of praise.

Hearing the elder brother speak, Yu Tiao was startled, and realized that what he was facing now was not those friends, but his own elder brother, and hurriedly swallowed back the words that were about to blurt out, and dared not open his mouth again.

However, Yu Liang's interest remained undiminished, and he continued to say with a pleasant smile: "I have also heard that the Jingkou Jinling Mausoleum nowadays is quite interesting and praises Taoism, and what you say is quite consistent with the words of the young preface. I don't know if you know the young preface. ?”

When Yu Tiao heard this, his heart skipped a beat, he peeked at his elder brother's expression, he lacked confidence, and didn't know how to answer.

At this time, suddenly a slightly aged old servant entered the hall and told Yu Liang: "Master, the matter has been settled."

Yu Liang nodded slightly, signaling the old servant to back down, and then looked at Yu Tiao with a dignified expression: "Young Xu, Taichung has long been aware of the affairs of Jinling and Jingkou. The current world is not peaceful. There may be unexpected disasters. You answer my question seriously, how deeply are you involved in this matter?"

Seeing that elder brother's expression suddenly became dignified, Yu Tiao couldn't help but feel more disturbed, and his expression turned pale: "Elder brother, I also understand this matter, but it's not easy for our overseas Chinese to establish a foothold in Jiangdong, relying on each other, watching and helping each other, how can it spread to Taiwan Province Center?"

"Rely on each other? Under the kingship, there is its own etiquette, so what is the hermit's salary! Tun Chuan mansion, state and county taxation, the court uses things, they have their own income, why waste their lives to collect people's wealth!"

Speaking of this, Yu Liang's expression had returned to coldness, he slapped the desk with his palm, pointed at Yu Tiao and shouted angrily: "I heard people say that you are one of the initiators of this law. Is it true? How many people are involved in this? What is the relationship?"

Seeing that the elder brother's voice was suddenly stern, Yu Tiao gradually felt the seriousness of the situation, and he said in a stalemate, "Eldest brother, we and my friends have absolutely no intention of doing evil..."

"So you really got involved?"

Yu Liang's face changed slightly, and then gradually showed a trace of fatigue: "Then tell me seriously, are you the initiator? Is there any room for you to get out?"

Yu Tiao's face was full of mourning: "Brother, how are we going to deal with us in Taichung? We really don't want to make trouble, we help each other and support each other. If we didn't get this kind method, how could the Jingkou line be as safe as it is today? The clan came from the south, and all the family property was lost. The former home of Shilu is now in poverty, and there is almost no rice for cooking..."

"You still have the face to say it! Doing evil without intention is the most hateful thing! Jingkou is full of refugees, and there are many military commanders. Even Taichung Li is trembling. You and other Qiruwanhakama generation don't know how difficult things are, and are stupid with money and money. , How dare you conspire with him, and you will be wiped out in an instant!"

Speaking of this, Yu Liang's face turned livid, he stood up suddenly, kicked the luxurious wooden table away, wandered around in the hall for a while, not knowing how to reprimand this bold brother.

In the early days, he was involved in many affairs, and he had been in Taicheng for a long time without time. Although he had heard about the Jinling incident, he didn't pay attention to it at first, and only thought it was a whim of a few dandies.When the situation in Taicheng gradually stabilized and he had time to take care of the matter, the information he received actually changed his face.

It's been just over a year, and there are thousands of people involved. They are either the children of the old clan of the overseas Chinese, or the exiles who gather together!Such a grandiose momentum, no matter what the intention or purpose, is enough to shake Taiwan Province.If he hadn't been in charge of Zhongshu and forcibly suppressed this matter, I'm afraid the government and the public would have been shaken!
However, what angered him the most was that his ineffective brother Yu Tiao seemed to play an important role in it, but he didn't know it!
The second brother is eccentric, so he can still seek common ground while reserving differences, and send him out of the capital.The third younger brother has done such a big thing behind his back, even though he is already an extremely powerful minister now, facing this kind of situation is extremely difficult.Because he knows very well that this matter is so involved, if it is not handled properly, the entire situation in Jiangdong may be corrupted in an instant!
What annoyed him the most was that the instigator in front of him was unaware of the seriousness of the consequences, and was still playing extravagantly here!

Seeing the elder brother's attitude and the angry attitude towards himself, Yu Tiao was terrified at first, but gradually, he also became angry, slowly got up and sneered: "I also know that in the eyes of the elder brother, I am just a person who can't be tolerated." , a mediocre person who achieves nothing. But after three days, you should look at him with admiration. If the elder brother is because of what I did in the past instead of what I do today, it will not only underestimate me, but also underestimate the thousands of friends behind me. !"

"Brother asked me, is it one of the initiators? Can you get out?"

Facing Yu Liang's eyes that were about to spit fire, Yu Tiao said solemnly: "Everyone can retreat, but I can't! Because this matter was planned by me alone, and the rest are my wings! With my unbearable talent, Brother, you would not have guessed that I was able to accomplish such a great feat, would you? Can this make my brother look at me with admiration?"

Seeing Yu Tiao's proud face, Yu Liang didn't know how much trouble he had caused, and was already so angry that he didn't know what to say.

What especially made him unacceptable was that before that, he really had a bit of luck in his heart, thinking that his brother was so talented that even if he was involved in the incident, it was impossible for him to take the lead, and he could get out.Hearing Yu Tiao's stern confession at this time, Yu Liang felt bitterness in his mouth and black eyes.

If this matter is not handled properly and it leads to catastrophe, all his efforts in the past may be in vain, and the whole family may be wiped out!
Yu Tiao didn't know what his elder brother was thinking, but he just said with a serious face: "Under Wang Hua, the inside and outside are out of balance, and the top and bottom are out of order. Hua. The people of Jingkou and Jinling rely so much on this good deed, how can it be because of the elder brother’s words that he did not say it! Eldest brother, please do it yourself, but I can’t neglect my friends!”

After finishing speaking, he walked out in a huff, and soon walked into the banquet hall in the front hall, only to find that everyone in the seat was silent and silent, he was a little surprised, and after searching carefully, he did not see his close friend Nan Erlang, so he went He smiled and asked: "I haven't had enough time waiting, how can Nan Erlang leave the stage, call someone for me!"

When everyone in the seat heard this, their complexions became darker, and one of them whispered: "Nan Erlang lost his mind when he was drunk, and his words were rude.

Hearing this, Yu Tiao froze on the spot, as if falling into an ice cave!
