After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

It was freezing cold at the moment, many people had fallen asleep, and there was only a vast expanse of sky and sky.

Snowy nights are cold.

The dripping water turned into ice, and they felt frozen just sitting on the porch.

Miss Xu's hands already had traces of frostbite and were very red and swollen, but she was picking at them while practicing calligraphy with a book in hand, as if she didn't notice the cold weather and didn't even take her eyes away from the book.

The girl always said that she had little talent and little knowledge, and also said that reading can make people sensible, so every night no matter whether it rains, winds, or lightning and thunder, she calls them together to study together, and euphemistically calls it a study group.

The girl read the "Book of Rites" and they read the "Three Character Classic".

The girls read "Spring and Autumn", and they learned the four arithmetic operations.

The Fang family's books were all left behind when they fled. Xu Huiming accidentally saw these books in a dilapidated bookstore while wandering around the city.

It is estimated that the bookstore owner fled for his life in a hurry when the city was breached, and many books were not taken away in time. The attackers were all reckless and could not understand, so they were naturally given an advantage.

These girls, Xu, seem to have some treasure, to the point where they can't let go of the scroll.

Feng'er felt distressed, but secretly swore that she would endure as long as the girl endured. No, if she wanted to catch up with the girl, she had to endure it better than the girl.

Feng'er was a little absent-minded and wanted to ask about the Xu family several times, but was stopped by the clever Qian Zhenniang's eyes.

Until the end of the show, she didn't have the time to ask Xu Qingying what she planned to do with Xu Lezhi.

Humph, there are some things that a girl can't do because of her relatives' reputation, but she, Feng'er, doesn't have such worries.

Dare to bully Miss Xu, she insisted on making Xu Lezhi look good.

Xu Qingying didn't read much tonight. One of the books was "Spring and Autumn" which was a bit obscure. Without Fang Lao's analysis, she wouldn't be able to read many parts.Secondly, she estimated that the time was almost up and there might be some movement in the second room, so she put away the book and walked into the house.

The charcoal brazier was still burning, and the room was not as cold as before. She carefully put the book back into the basket, and saw Miao and Xu Degui walking over.

Mrs. Miao went to clean Mei Xiao's body. All the female relatives of the Xu family lived in the house. Xu Degui couldn't enter the house, so he waved to Xu Qingying to come out.

Xu Qingying opened the curtain, "Father, what do you want?"

Xu Degui hesitated to speak, but still persuaded: "Qingying, I just want to ask you, what do you plan to do with Xu Lezhi?"

Xu Qingying raised her eyebrows slightly.

Xu Degui continued: "Lezhi is younger than you. I have been pampered since I was a child, so I am not as sensible as you. You are the elder sister, and our family has broken bones and tendons. Although our third and second bedrooms have some quarrels, that is not the case. This is a matter between adults, you sisters should be more harmonious."

Xu Qingying smiled lightly and said, "Father, do you want me to calm down the trouble?"

"You did something wrong to embarrass your second brother in public today. No matter how much you hate your second uncle, we can't show it openly. You have to know that a word of filial piety can crush others. I don’t even know what kind of unscrupulous bad thing Xu Deyuan has done, but he only pokes our spines and says that we don’t care about our family ties. Qingying, your father has finally figured it out. Your child is different from all the children in our family. Likewise, all of us in the Xu family combined are not as good as you, and maybe the fate of the Xu family is in your hands."

Xu Degui said this sincerely, which surprised Xu Qingying.

"Because of this, we must be more cautious in our words and deeds. There are some truths that you just need to understand for yourself. There are some things that must be done for outsiders to see. Some reputations must be fought for."

Xu Deyuan and Xu Qingying did not object, so he gradually said more, "This is also what your mother and I meant. As the saying goes, toughness is easy to break. You will be someone who will do great things in the future. At least you can't suffer any loss in reputation. Especially, we can't ruin our reputation because of the villains like our second roommate, and then hinder us from doing everything in the future. That's not worth it."

Xu Qingying pondered for a moment and understood the meaning of Xu Degui's trip. She also knew that Xu Degui and Miao were really doing her best.

But Xu Deyuan has something right.

Some things must be done for outsiders to see.

There are some reputations that should be arrested.

Just pretend to be a good person, who can't?

Now that she has come to the Great Zhou Dynasty, she must abide by the survival rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She must be a good person at least in the eyes of the world.

As for the second wife of the Xu family, she has plenty of means to deal with it behind the scenes.Keep in mind that others will praise her for her kindness in doing things.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingying smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, dad, I won't do anything to my second wife. To be precise, as long as it doesn't threaten my actual rights and interests, I will turn a blind eye to anyone who provokes me. "

Xu Deyuan paused.

But he immediately thought of the next sentence.

If he offended her, why would he be like Liu Jiejie, whose body and head were in different places?
Fortunately, Xu Qingying didn't take Xu Lezhi seriously and was not willing to take care of Xu Lezhi. Otherwise, if the second and third bedrooms were really in trouble, wouldn't they be a joke to others?

However, Xu Huiming walked over quickly and saw the two of them standing in the corridor talking. He immediately lowered his voice and reported: "Dad, sister, the person from the second room came with the grandmother to apologize to us."

Xu Qingying held her forehead, feeling bored. What a big deal. If she had the time, wouldn't it be good for her to read two more books, observe the layout and defense of the city wall, and think more about how to slip away from Li Datou?

Do you have to force her to fight at home every day?

But on her face, she still pretended to be flattered, and almost immediately took two quick steps, ran down the steps, and went to help Huang, "Grandma, it's freezing cold, why are you here."

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Huang was followed by several young men from the second room. At this moment, they were all frowning. Some of them looked dissatisfied and looked like they were being forced to come over. Some of them looked frightened, as if they had been scolded.

As soon as Xu Qingying saw this posture, she knew what she was going to do later.

The second room asked Huang to come forward to sue for peace.

"Sixth girl, it's cold outside, let's go in and talk."

As soon as they entered, the female members of the Xu family all got up from the bed and started working. The fourth aunt went to flick the wicks to make the room brighter.Anping put the charcoal fire at Huang's feet to keep Huang warm.

Mrs. Huang was still very satisfied with Zhao Zhenlan and Xu Anping. She nodded and touched Xu Anping's face lovingly, "What a good boy."

It would be better if it was a boy.It's not like we have four bedrooms and no one to live in. In the future, we may have to adopt one.

But who should be adopted? The children in the first room have all grown up, the children in the second room are also weak, and Xu Huiming in the third room is the only child.

Is it possible to go back to your hometown and adopt one?
But they are in Qianzhou, who from their hometown is willing to adopt them?
Mrs. Huang sighed when she thought about this and couldn't even sleep at night.

This time, Mr. Huang, who just thought Zhao Zhenlan was diligent and nice, annoyed Zhao Zhenlan again.

Fortunately, Mrs. Huang was not only angry with Zhao Zhenlan, but also with her four sons.

This woman couldn't give birth to a child, and she couldn't just blame women. Huang, on the other hand, held a bowl of water flat and glared at the two of them evenly.

Mrs. Huang was sitting by the bed, and her juniors were all standing respectfully, listening with their ears lowered. Mrs. Huang naturally knew her mission today, patted the place next to her, and showed a very amiable smile to Xu Qingying, "Six Girl, sit down next to grandma."

Xu Qingying followed the instructions, but did not ignore Xu Lezhi's gnashing of teeth.

Xu Lezhi, it feels good to be held down and lowered.

Xu Qingying was in a good mood.

As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Huang took her hand, "Sixth girl, grandma knows that you are feeling wronged. I just want to help you beat them up and give you a hard time to vent your anger."

but?

Xu Qingying smiled and said nothing, waiting for the next step.

"But just now I was so happy that this girl came to me crying, saying that she did something wrong and that she shouldn't have said that to you. A quarrel is inevitable between sisters. As for you, you are a few days older than her and more sensible than her. , It has not been an easy journey for our family, could you please spare the old woman this time for her sake?"

Without waiting for Xu Qingying to respond, Huang continued: "Don't worry, that girl Lezhi promised me just now that she will definitely treat you as my sister from now on and will never quarrel with you or quarrel with you. She will do whatever you say." do what."

Xu Qingying covered her lips and smiled, looking at Xu Lezhi's angry face, her dissatisfaction was almost written on her face.

Xu Yinxi shook her head and secretly kicked Xu Lezhi. Xu Lezhi managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Grandma is right. Sixth sister, I know I was wrong. Just spare me this time."

Xu Qingying asked with a straight face, "Wrong, where did you go wrong?"

Xu Lezhi was stunned and bit his lower lip, as if he had never thought about this problem.

But looking at the way Lian was glaring at her, Xu Lezhi felt dissatisfied, but also scared, so he had to say: "I misunderstood Sixth Sister. Sixth Sister beat my father in public. I wanted to vent my anger on my father." , I just hold a grudge, and I don’t know how high-minded I am to ask my sixth sister to apologize to my second wife.”

Xu Qingying raised her eyebrows calmly.

Huang's expression also changed slightly.

They are all foxes of thousands of years. Who can't hear Xu Lezhi's retort? From her tone, it is obvious that she is still complaining about Xu Qingying.

"But!" Xu Lezhi immediately added, "My mother has analyzed it in detail with me and said that the things that the second sister did were all to protect our sister Xu. My father has been an official for many years and has a clean reputation. He pays most attention to it. The word "integrity" is far inferior to that of Sixth Sister who can bend and stretch. How much is integrity worth when one's life is at stake? Unfortunately, I still judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. I mistakenly thought that Sixth Sister deliberately embarrassed my father in order to take revenge on my second wife. I misunderstood Sixth Sister’s hard work really deserves a beating.”

Xu Qingying curled her lips and glanced at Xu Lezhi playfully.

Xu Lezhi prided himself on being smart and intuitively said what he said was so high-sounding that no one who heard it could find anything wrong with it.She even raised her head and responded with Xu Qingying's provocative smile.

idiot!

Lian Shi and Xu Yinxi cursed in their hearts at the same time.

He had stated his interests to her in the room earlier, was it all in vain?
Who is Xu Qingying? Xu Lezhi really thinks that people can't hear these words of overt praise and covert derogation?
"It really should be beaten. Seventh sister, you really misjudged me, Xu Qingying." Xu Qingying helped Xu Lezhi up, but Xu Lezhi remained unmoved and tried to compete with Xu Qingying. Xu Qingying simply raised her hand and Xu Lezhi was beaten. The figure was twisted like a chicken, and she glared at Xu Qingying angrily.

Xu Qingying continued to say with a smile: "Although I can't speak ill of my elders, I have to say that my second uncle's reading of this book is a bit too pedantic. In that situation, if I had told him something nice, my second uncle would definitely have taken it. A lot of reason is coming to pressure me. How can Li Datou have the patience to wait for us? He might drag us all down and behead us. Then wouldn’t the second uncle’s family become the sinners of the Xu family?”

Xu Lezhi's face turned pale.

The smile on Xu Qingying's face became even fainter, "Furthermore, my sister always said that I would take revenge on my second wife. I don't understand. We are all close relatives of the same family. How come the word revenge is mentioned? If I have revenge, I will be a gangster." That night when we were attacked, I could have left you to fend for yourself, wouldn't it be better?"

"You..." Xu Lezhi suddenly revealed his true colors and blurted out, "You just want to control the entire Xu family! You want to kick my father away and become the head of the Xu family!"

Xu Qingying frowned, covering her chest with a sad look, "Sister, you are confused, I am just a helpless woman. How can a woman be the head of a family? Besides, we are all going to Qianzhou for exile. Who cares about a poor family owner? Why do you miss me so much?"

Lian quickly pinched Xu Lezhi from behind. Xu Lezhi came to his senses in a daze, and then realized that he had fallen into Xu Qingying's trap.

This Xu Qingying is so powerful, she picked her off in just a few words.

"You can't fight back?" Xu Lezhi was almost furious at Xu Qingying's pretending to be weak, "You obviously killed so many people -"

Speaking of this, the smile on Xu Qingying's face condensed, and there was a frightening chill in her eyes. Her tone was soft and gentle, but there was a kind of coercion that people could not ignore.

"Seventh sister might as well tell you, who did I kill?"

Lian quickly pulled Xu Lezhi away, feeling annoyed that Xu Lezhi shouldn't have been allowed to apologize, instead making the situation worse and worse.

"This damn girl is really ignorant. How can she talk nonsense?" Lian made a gesture and patted Xu Lezhi's back hard several times. "You are such an evildoer. Liu Yatou has killed people before, but there was never a time when she didn't do it for the sake of Protect us people? The last time the bandits attacked, if it weren't for Qingying, our whole family would have died! If you say such ungrateful things again, I will beat you to death!"

Xu Qingying knew clearly that Lian was putting on a show for her, so she couldn't help but feel tired. She held her temples with one hand and said coldly: "Okay."

Lian immediately stopped and looked at Xu Qingying somewhat flatteringly.

Xu Qingying turned her head and glanced at Huang. She saw Huang's face showing disappointment with Xu Lezhi. When she met Xu Qingying's clean and bright eyes, Huang's heart instantly went to the Pacific Ocean.

Before Xu Le came, he kept saying that he wanted to apologize to Xu Qingying and asked her to escort him and make peace in the middle.

Mrs. Huang had originally hoped that everything would be prosperous for her family, but she thought that the verbal quarrels between the younger generations might not be a big deal. Which family in the countryside didn't have brothers and sisters who grew up fighting?
