According to the memory of the original owner, the Tao family was seized upon by their opponents and attacked violently, almost wiping out the entire family. Later, many Tao family members had to withdraw from the court, and finally returned to their hometown.
Finally, the Tao family still has some hope of survival. You must know that the Tao family's children are still allowed to participate in the imperial examination. This means that the Tao family still has a chance to turn around, but it is temporarily in decline.
Originally, the older generation of the Tao family thought that the Tao family would be able to make a comeback by waiting for the new generation to take the scientific examination, but suddenly they encountered an unprecedented natural disaster.
In the face of natural disasters, the struggles and efforts of one, a few, or dozens of people are very small, and many of them are washed away by the turbulent water.
Nowadays, most of the Tao family died in the flood, and only a few are alive now, which means that the family has been completely ruined.
You must know that there is a good saying: the tea gets cold when people leave, and the Tao family's previous connections disappear with their death.
This is very fatal for a family. Without previous connections, it means the whole process has to be started from scratch.
Of course, the most fatal thing is that no one in the family is still alive, and after that, it will be impossible to bet in multiple ways.
You must know that the aristocratic family has always been able to make money from both sides, but now it simply does not have the manpower to make multiple investments.
The Tao family's Sijia brand is equivalent to being scrapped. As far as Ling Xiao is concerned, if the Sijia brand is scrapped, then it will be scrapped.
People from aristocratic families will compare family interests and national interests together, and they care more about their family.
In addition, after the emergence of the imperial examination, the so-called aristocratic families were on a downward path.
Even if you are not from a noble family, you should carefully supervise the studies of San and Wulang.
Even if you don’t want to be an official, you still have to have your own true abilities.
As a person from modern society, Ling Xiao is not sad about the decline of Tao family.
The education she received left her without the spirit to dedicate everything to her family.
Of course, she has no intention of establishing a good relationship with relatives, such as Tao Erlang.
Although the Kyushu people of later generations retained many customs, most of them relied on small families as the main body of their lives.
On the surface, it's fine, but she won't agree with the original owner giving up his happy life for his brother.
I don’t know what the original owner would think? Would he think Ling Xiao did something wrong? If this was the case, Ling Xiao could only feel it was a pity.
But she will never violate her three views for the sake of the original owner. Asking herself, it is difficult for her to live like a pure ancient person.
There was absolutely no way she could be a well-behaved daughter of a down-and-out family and take her two younger brothers to live under the shelter of Tao Erlang. This was absolutely not possible.
Yuzhen, who had been listening to Ling Xiao's introduction just now, had been thinking thoughtfully. At this time, he said: "It feels like the aristocratic family is like a family of cultivators, and there are quite a few in the sect."
"As for the dynasty, it's a bit like a sect, and the head of the sect is a bit like the emperor. But if there is a more powerful boss, the head can't do anything. So the master-disciple relationship, the relationship between fellow villagers, seems to be in the sect."
Ling Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh after hearing this. In fact, no matter whether they are cultivators or ordinary people, they are all human beings in the end. They have many things in common. Of course, there are still some differences in their structure. After all, they are all human beings.
The place you stand is different.
"Actually, from a certain point of view, the sect is a country in the world of cultivation, right? The leader is not like an emperor, of course, there are some differences. The monks care more about each other's personal combat effectiveness. If they are not good enough, they will not be convinced by the crowd.
There are restrictions on the leader's rights." Ling Xiao said smoothly.
Yuzhen had read Qingqiuzi's travel notes during this period, and had a certain understanding of the situation of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. He also realized that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were actually not one body, but also separate. The most central one was the Nine Heavens and the Ten Earths.
There was also a war between the Earth and the Nine Heavens, and in the end, the Ten Earths were completely crushed by the Nine Heavens.
Yuzhen even discovered a problem from the travel notes. Qingqiuzi had never been very interested in practicing. This situation made her very upset. How could this happen? The best condition is to quit and just think about having fun.
If Qingqiuzi was someone to her, she would definitely catch this guy and give him a good beating. Yuzhen thought about how lacking in skills they were, and Qingqiuzi was the kind of person who didn't know the blessings despite the blessings.
Ling Xiao did not agree with Yuzhen's idea. She also saw Qingqiuzi's idea, but felt that Qingqiuzi did this for a reason they didn't know.
From what Qingqiuzi left behind, we can see that he was very strategic in doing things, so let him make his own decision on what to do, that is his life.
After hearing Ling Xiao's words, Yuzhen took a look and stopped arguing. The different experiences between them made their thoughts different.
But she still insisted on her own ideas, because if she had the skills, she would work harder to improve her strength as soon as possible.
She was thinking this in her mind, but she didn't want to get into trouble with Ling Xiao, so she didn't ask any more questions, and she also thought about the matter of Timber Wolf.
It is said that there are various cultivation families and cultivation sects on Timber Wolf, but their scale is not very large.
The reason why this happened is that the monks of Timber Wolf didn't work together very well, so they didn't think about doing it together.
The monks of the Wooden Wolf Star are all deeply influenced by the idea that they would rather be heads than phoenix tails.
This resulted in those monks being rarely willing to obey orders from others.
Once the monks' cultivation level increases, they will think about becoming a leader.
Under such circumstances, the size of the sect and family is not large.
Every once in a while, some monks who want to rise to the top will appear.
The sect that had worked so hard to develop quickly fell apart.
After this situation became common, some monks discovered the problem, which was detrimental to the development of Timber Wolf.
This kind of thinking that everyone wants to be the boss led to the subsequent loss of those skills little by little.
Every monk wanted to get something from his original sect before leaving, and various methods were used.
But Qigong suffered the biggest losses because everyone wanted to get more, and even took risks.
After being discovered, someone will kill himself if he sees that he can't escape. He feels that if he can't get it, then others can't get it either.
For higher-level cultivators, killing themselves is like setting off TNT explosives, and the result will be like a disaster movie, impossible to watch.
Many skills have suffered unforeseen disasters and were destroyed by different monks. Eventually, one day, a certain skill was completely destroyed.
For a period of time, Wood Wolf Star was like a group of demons dancing around, causing Wood Wolf Star's skills to get worse and worse, and many monks could not find suitable skills at all.
After Ling Xiao heard about it, he was a little confused. Why didn't the monks unite together? In many cases, more people are more powerful, and some things should be done together.
After hearing Ling Xiao's words, Yu Zhen sighed deeply. Now he looked back and said: "Many monks in Timber Wolf are just like a nest of fighting cocks. They have no skills, but they always want to make a ji."
If she has the energy to practice hard, Yuzhen is also speechless, because she can't understand those monks who only want to be the leader. In her opinion, the leader doesn't mean much at all, not to mention the time-consuming, but also
Not conducive to cultivating the mind.
Yuzhen was originally a descendant of a small sect. The reason why she became the master's disciple was because her parents died in the sect's civil strife. The master took her away and raised her. Later, she never wanted to become a disciple of any sect. It was simply
It's just a ball of loose sand.
She has been doing a more independent self-cultivation since then, and she can practice her magic during the internal fighting. She feels that what happened on the Wooden Wolf is very similar to what happens to mortals.
The two of them just jogged and talked, and didn't say anything more afterward to prevent the possibility of encountering other people. Ling Xiao didn't want to reveal anything.
It was already bright when Ling Xiao and Yu Zhen came back. Xia's mother had prepared the morning meal early and specially brought out the best food for them to have a good meal.
In order not to betray anyone, Ling Xiao and the others tampered with the puppets they made, which were edible, and they hid the identities of the puppets.
Seeing Ling Xiao coming back, Xia's mother asked and called the four children up, telling them that it was time for morning meal, and got up one after another.
Tao Baozhu almost exploded after being woken up. She was so angry when she was woken up by the sound of crows early in the morning that she finally fell asleep again.
As a result, it felt like as soon as he closed his eyes, he was woken up again, which made Tao Baozhu, who was angry about getting out of bed, almost cursed.
She wanted to throw something at her, but where did she come from? He didn't let her sleep? This person was really bad.
Fortunately, when I think about what I did yesterday, I don't have much freedom now.
She had to keep her head down when she lived in her cousin's house. Now she is quite afraid of her cousin.
In addition, Xia's mother's voice reminded Tao Baozhu not to confront her cousin.
After being hungry for several meals, she wanted to get up to eat. It looked like she was really hungry.
She freshened herself up under the service of her mother-in-law and went out.
I was a little surprised when I saw my cousin dressed in men's clothing.
Tao Baozhu opened his mouth to say something.
As a result, she found that her cousin looked at her deeply.
Those eyes that seemed to see everything were watching her actions.
She was immediately frightened by a ruthless hand grabbing her throat.
"Baozhu, come over and eat quickly." Ling Xiao just sat there and said coldly.
Tao Baozhu didn't dare to resist at first sight and had to sit down because she knew the opponent was very powerful.
Although she would scold Ling Xiao for being vulgar, she would do so in her heart and would never dare to put it out in the open.
Just like now, she doesn't dare to reply at all. The last lesson taught her to remember that this cousin is not to be messed with.
Ling Xiao knew from the way she was unhappy that she didn't dare to reply, but her face was drooped, as if someone owed her something.
In addition, she discovered that Tao Baozhu actually had big dark circles under his eyes, and it seemed that he was planning to dress up as a giant panda. This discovery made her want to laugh.
She knew at a glance that Tao Baozhu must not have slept well, but she didn't pay much attention. She didn't have the patience to take care of this disobedient cousin. Anyway, she and Tao Baozhu were not from the same place.
After thinking clearly, she waited for Sanlang, Wulang and other children. The three of them were relatively familiar with each other along the way. They sat together and ate happily, even a little loudly. When Ling Xiao's eyes passed by, they all closed their eyes.
Mouth, dare not speak.
The three of them began to sit down obediently, preparing to eat the morning meal. This time, Yingying cooked a delicious meal. They all ate very happily, but they still paid attention to etiquette. Ling Xiao looked at the little adults like
They want to laugh.
Tao Baozhu, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable. She only wanted to return to her mother and father. In her opinion, she would wait until her mother arrived.
His cousin was about to become a little pitiful. Ling Xiao felt that Tao Baozhu had some malicious thoughts, so he didn't think much about her.
I asked Mama Xia to go over and tell the uncle and aunt of the original owner that my cousin is here and send me a message by the way.
As soon as Xia's mother saw that she had to go on a trip, she asked someone to catch the car and enter the capital. She was very nervous and thinking about the problem along the way.
Ling Xiao began to prepare the mourning hall. You must know that this time, the Tao family must observe mourning, including the second wife.
Besides, Mother Xia arrived at the Tao family's second-bedroom house. Speaking of which, this house is not that big.
Tao Erlang's residence is subject to grade restrictions, and the place where his family lives is certainly not large.
Fortunately, there are not too many people in the family, so we can barely survive.
When Mother Xia arrived, Mrs. Li was in a very bad mood.
Because she fell ill due to excessive anxiety.
I heard people below say they didn't care when Mother Xia arrived.
When she thought about it, the slaves in the big house didn't need to worry about anything at all.
She had no intention of caring about the people in the big house, let alone the servants.
She was only worried about why she let her children go back to her hometown to be with the two old people in the first place.
If she had known this was the case, she should have said it later. Regret occupied her entire heart.
After not getting enough rest, she felt like she was holding her breath, and she was so upset that she wanted to curse and hit someone.
But she found that she didn't even have the strength to curse, because she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't get up at all.
The confidant Nanny who had been following her took a look and asked Nanny Liu who had been staying aside to take a look at Mama Xia in the big room.
She thought that Xia's mother had something to ask Mr. Tao for help. Not long ago, Xia's mother came over and asked about the owner of the big house.
So you should still want to ask this question now. What is there to ask? None of the brothers and sisters in the second room have seen it, and the people sent have not returned.
Isn't this trying to tear out Madam's heart? Naturally, she won't go see Mother Xia, so she can just ask Aunt Liu, who has been trying to compete with her for Madam's attention.
No matter what, it was necessary to pass the time. Besides, Grandma Liu was not very happy when she saw Xia's mother in plain clothes in the side room. You must know that her wife is particularly taboo about plain clothes during this period of time.
Mother Xia was wearing this outfit, which made Mother Liu feel a little unhappy. She decided to give Mother Xia a good beating for a while. What was she doing? The brother and sister of the second room will definitely be fine. Why don't you wear plain clothes?
Pooh!
Mother Xia's expression was very calm. She said softly: "Sister Liu, this is a post from my eldest lady. She was supposed to come to the door, but my husband and wife have passed away, so the eldest lady cannot come to the door easily while observing mourning.
, I would like to ask Madam to send someone to pick up Er Niangzi and Ba Lang."
