The two of them were eye to eye, and the silence in the room could even be heard as a pin dropped.

Mama Gui stood at the door, originally listening to the two talking, but it was suddenly quiet inside. After listening carefully, there was still no sound, and I was a little worried. Hurriedly asked someone to bring a pot of fruit, and then shouted: "Girl, the crane head melon is cut, and I will bring it in." ”

Mama Gui took the crane head melon into the house, and found that Yuxi and Yuchen did not speak, and they were very puzzled. It's just that when she heard Yuchen let her go down, she couldn't stay any longer.

After Yuxi waited for Mama Gui to go down, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "The third sister thinks too much, I think the history books and the art of war are very interesting." ”

Yuchen will not beat around the bush, and said to Yuxi straight to the point: "Fourth sister, it is naturally okay to read history books and the art of war, but there are some things that we should not be tainted with." Just because my grandmother didn't tell my father doesn't mean they don't know. Yuchen has no objection to reading history books, because she has read them herself, but reading military books, this is a bit of a problem. Yuxi often went to the eldest brother's yard after reading these books, and what to do, grandmother and father knew what they were doing, but Yuxi thought that what he was doing was secret.

It's all said and done, and it's no fun to pretend to be stupid. Yuxi laughed at herself: "I didn't expect that just a few more trips to my eldest brother's side would make my grandmother and father pay attention." "She really doesn't have any secrets here.

Yuxi never thought of hiding anything from the old lady and Han Jingyan, but Yuchen's words today also reminded her. Her current life and death are still in the hands of the old lady and Han Jingyan, even if she has the support of her eldest aunt and eldest brother, if they really want to do anything to her, she can only bear it, and she has no way to resist. The comfortable days have been too long, and she has lost her sense of crisis.

Yuchen saw the sarcastic smile on Yuxi's face, and his heart was also a little blocked: "Fourth sister, I'm for your good." Once something is contaminated, it can't be shaken off. She didn't know what Yuxi was doing at her eldest brother's side, but it was certain that it wouldn't be a good thing, at least not for Yuxi.

Yuxi said sincerely: "Third sister, thank you." "Yuchen can talk to her like this today and teach her to play the flute, which is really good for her. It's just that she also knows that compared with the old lady and Han Jingyan, she has to lean back. Because of this, she will never have a heart-to-heart relationship with Yuchen, because the two of them are not all the way.

Yuchen didn't need Yuxi's gratitude: "Fourth sister, I hope you don't go to the eldest brother again in the future." The eldest brother is a person who does great things, and what he does is not something we can contaminate. ”

Yuxi smiled and nodded, "I know." "Yuchen is good no matter what she does, and whatever she does is wrong, she has ulterior intentions. Although helpless, this is the reality, and she doesn't want to explain anymore, because it's not necessary.

For dinner, Yuxi did not stay in Tingyun Pavilion for use, but returned to Tao Ranju.

When Mama Gui looked at Yuxi going out, her face was solemn, and she asked Yuchen: "Girl, what's wrong with the fourth girl?"

Yuchen sighed slightly: "I said that she shouldn't go to the eldest brother's side often, she may feel uncomfortable!" From the matter of the county lord of Heshou, it can be seen that the eldest brother acted too hastily and did not consider the consequences at all. Otherwise, why would Jianjun and Jiancheng still be in bed. She was really worried that Yuxi had stayed with her eldest brother for a long time and had become very anxious.

Mama Gui was taken aback, "Girl, how can you tell the fourth girl about this? You say that, the fourth girl still has to be angry?"

Yuchen smiled bitterly: "I also hope that she won't go the wrong way." Why is the fourth sister confused, the eldest brother is the prince of the world, he can make mistakes, mistakes can be corrected, but she can't! And if people know that she learned the art of power and scheming from the eldest brother, who will dare to marry her in the future. At that time, she was shocked when she heard Mama Gui's speculation, and she endured it for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't resist the worry in her heart and had a showdown with Yuxi.

Mama Gui knew that Yuchen really regarded Yuxi as her own sister, otherwise she wouldn't have taken such painstaking measures: "I hope the fourth girl can understand your hard work." "Mama Gui really thinks that Yuxi doesn't know that her girl is so for her.

Coincidentally, Yuxi had just finished dinner. Han Jianming sent someone over and called Yuxi to the study, saying that he was looking for her for something.

Seeing that Yuxi's face was wrong, Han Jianming asked in surprise: "What's wrong?

Yuxi shook her head and said, "Today, the third sister told me that my grandmother and my father already knew that I was learning the art of scheming from my eldest brother. She advised me not to learn these things from my eldest brother, it was not good for me. "Yuchen's words are right, the woman is too smart, and she is smart and exposed, which will indeed arouse suspicion and defense. She hadn't thought of this before, it was her negligence.

Han Jianming laughed: "What's the matter, are you scared? Want to retreat?" Yuxi is learning, yes, but not learning from him, but putting what he has learned into practice. It's just that he hasn't said it to anyone, not even his grandmother.

Yuxi was silent for a moment and said, "It's not that I want to retreat, but I don't want to attract attention." I'm a woman, not a man, and letting people know that I'm learning these things is not good for me, and even if I don't talk about them in the future. "She can study and study in private, and she doesn't have to come to the eldest brother, so as to save attention. She didn't think it through before, but she didn't expect to fall into such a big trouble.

Han Jianming didn't say anything, turned around and took out a brocade box from the shelf. Yuxi thought it was a rare treasure, but he didn't expect that the brocade box was a map.

Yuxi was a little puzzled, what to do with a map.

Han Jianming spread out the map and placed it on the desk, pressing the four corners of the map with paperweights and inkstones. He drew a circle with his finger and said, "This is the Liaodong region." ”

Yuxi looked at Han Jianming, not knowing what he was telling him about what Liaodong was doing.

Han Jianming pointed to the place marked with a red dot and said, "This is Tongcheng, and outside Tongcheng are the Donghu people." A few years ago, because of the struggle for the throne, there was continuous civil strife in Donghu, and just over a month ago, the new king of Donghu had quelled the civil strife. Liaodong, there will be no more peace in the future. ”

Yuxi couldn't help but ask, "What does this have to do with me?"

Han Jianming didn't respond to Yuxi's words, swiped his hand over, circled another place, and then pointed to a red dot and said, "This is Yucheng, a border pass in the northwest." Outside Yucheng is the northern captive, and every year in spring and autumn, the northern captives will go to the border city to burn and rob. And the fighting over there has not been ideal, with countless casualties. ”

Yuxi understands this meaning, the so-called unideal is to lose more and win less. After Han Jianming pointed to the southwest direction, Yuxi couldn't help but ask, "It's not peaceful there?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said: "The Miao people in the southwest and the Qiangrong tribe have rebelled, and the imperial court sent an army of 100,000 people, not only did not eliminate this rebel group, but wiped out the whole army. ”

Yuxi opened his mouth: "The army of the imperial court is so useless?" The Miao and Qiangrong are both ethnic minorities, and the population is not large, even if the 100,000 army cannot be wiped out, the whole army will not be wiped out. How bad these armies must have been, to fall into such a field.

Han Jianming said: "The imperial court's taxes are getting less and less every year, but the expenditure is more and more every year. After a pause, Han Jianming said: "The expenditure of the emperor and the harem accounts for one-fifth of the annual taxes. ”

Yuxi let out a sigh of relief. Even if she is not a court official, she also knows that the taxes of the national treasury should be used for military salaries, grain and grass, official salaries, as well as agriculture and water conservancy. The emperor and the harem used one-fifth, where is the rest of the money enough for the imperial court? However, Yuxi directly ignored the latter sentence, it was useless to pay attention, and no one dared to object to how much money the emperor Lao Tzu used: "Why is the tax less and less, where is the money going?"

Han Jianming said: "They were all corrupted by corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”

Yuxi often reads history books, and there are also records of peasant uprisings in history books. Which peasants are because of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so that they can not survive. For these people, there is no way to live anyway, and the rebellion may not be able to fight a bloody way out, so they rise up: "Wouldn't the people rebel if they have no way to live?"

Han Jianming felt that Yuxi's history books were not in vain: "At the beginning of the year, Henan rebelled because of the rampant expropriation of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but those people were exterminated by the army of the imperial court. ”

Yuxi was a little shocked: "How come I haven't heard of such a big thing?" After speaking, he knew that he was stupid, and smiled bitterly. Although this is a big matter, it was suppressed because it was not a glorious thing and did not disclose the news, and it was normal for her to be a daughter of a boudoir who had not heard of it.

After listening to this, Yuxi seemed to understand what Han Jianming wanted to tell her: "What does the eldest brother mean, the world is going to be in chaos?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "Not yet." But if this continues, sooner or later the world will be in chaos. He was worried that there would be chaos in the future, so he asked Han Jianye to marry a girl from the Lu family. When the world is in turmoil, only by holding military power can you protect your family and yourself.

Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "I have met the Nine Emperor Princes, and it is a very powerful person. If he succeeds to the throne, he should be able to control the situation!"

Han Jianming also knew that the Nine Emperor Princes were a very skillful person in the city: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, the Nine Emperor Princes, whether they can ascend the throne smoothly is a question." Speaking of this, he changed his words and asked, "How do you feel after hearing so much?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I don't have any feelings." The world is going to be chaotic or something, and even if it is temporary, it will not affect me. But if I don't shy away from it, if I mess with my grandmother and my father, I won't be able to eat and walk around. Big brother, I can't come to you often in the future. "Avoiding the old lady and Han Jingyan is secondary, mainly because Yuxi is worried that her edge will be exposed, and it will be difficult to say goodbye when the time comes. Memorizing medical books and learning the art of scheming are just in case, deep down in Yuxi's heart, she still hopes that she can marry a good family and live a life of husband and children.

As for the chaos in the world, she didn't get into chaos when she died in her previous life. Well, although there are homeless people everywhere, the capital is still peaceful.

Han Jianming didn't force it, and said with a smile: "But it's okay." After speaking, he handed a few books on the desk to Yuxi and said, "Take these books back and read them, and let people sue me when they finish reading." I'll change it for you. ”

Yuxi took a few books with both hands, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll read it when I go back." ”

ps: O(∩_∩)O~, everyone guesses, what kind of book did the eldest brother give to Yuxi?
