Chapter 152: Disadvantages and Advantages

Although the young master is still young, he already has the momentum of Li Fengan.

The eyes of the civil servants and military generals were warm, their eyes were full of respect, and their expressions were full of pride.

They do things, but it is the young master who decides how to do things.

Outsiders think that they teach the young master how to speak and do things. In fact, the young master never needs to be taught by them. Instead, they sometimes teach them how to speak.

With such a young master, Jiannan Road is worry-free, and their future is also worry-free.

The four people retreated, and the hall returned to silence. Li Mingyu, who was sitting on the tiger skin, shook his legs. The eyes on the jade sculpture's face were glaring, and his figure crooked and fell onto the soft tiger skin, with his hands and feet shrinking.

It rolled into a ball.

There were footsteps coming from behind.

"It's okay to roll around, but you're not allowed to tear the tiger's skin." A deep female voice said.

Li Mingyu rolled from his chair and fell to the ground. No one came forward to help him, nor did he feel any pain. He jumped up and threw himself at the person walking towards him.

"Miss Gui," he shouted, stretching out his hand.

Osmanthus, who was dressed in dusty and powdered clothes and looked like a rough woman on fire, held Li Mingyu down and smoothed his wrinkled official robe.

"Ms. Gui, that Han Xu has taken the initiative to take us to Shannan East Road." Li Mingyu lowered her hands and raised her head, showing off proudly, "Am I good?"

The little girl Damselfly came out from behind Osmanthus fragrans and clapped her hands: "The little governor is awesome."

Osmanthus did not praise her, but gave her a reward: "You can eat an extra bowl of sweet dumplings today."

Li Mingyu and Damselfly both raised their hands and cheered happily. Which child in the world doesn't like sweets?

Li Mingyu and Damselfly were like two chicks holding bowls of sweet soup and happily eating sweet soup, while Osmanthus sat aside and watched.

"Young master is just a child. There is no need to pretend to be an adult. No matter how much you pretend, no one will believe you and you will not win the respect of others." She wiped the corners of Li Mingyu's mouth with a handkerchief.

Her face looked serious, and the movements of her hands were extremely gentle.

Li Mingyu listened carefully and imprinted what Guihua said in her heart, but she still felt a little uneasy: "I followed my sister's instructions and kept Han Xu by my side. I have done everything I should do. Will he choose to help me?"

He is still worried that he is not good enough. He is a child after all.

Osmanthus smiled: "Your disadvantage is your children, and your advantage is also your children."

She looked outside the hall, looking past the many houses and seeming to see through all the adults here.

"I have been in charge of household affairs for the Grand Governor for ten years. Things outside are no different from things at home. People come and go for profit. There are big profits outside, but small profits at home."

"These adults are no different from the servants in the backyard. Some want to be lazy, some want to get something for nothing, some want to be opportunistic, and some have ambitions as high as the sky."

"Sometimes these adults are more naive than children and think they can do anything."

"But at the same time, they are very insecure and wary of people who are the same as or better than themselves."

Li Mingyu put down the bowl, licked the corners of his mouth with his tongue, smiled brightly with his big eyes, and pointed at his nose with the spoon.

"So, they are more willing to choose me, a child who is not a threat." He said.

Osmanthus took the bowl in his hand: "Yes, so if Shannan Road is willing to let the young master stay here, Han Xu will definitely choose the young master. The eldest lady sent Han Xu to the young master because she believed in the young master.

We can definitely keep him, he will be useful to the young master."

When he mentioned his sister Li Mingyu's face, he felt sad and happy at the same time. Looking at the second bowl of dumplings given to him by the Osmanthus Lady, he felt that it was not so sweet anymore.

"My sister is suffering." He sighed, "My sister has no money."

The damselfly stood by the table, tiptoed, scooped up the dumplings with a spoon and fed them to Li Mingyu: "Young master, don't worry, the eldest lady has a young master."

Is the young man just money?

Li Mingyu was amused and rolled a spoonful of small balls into his mouth. They were soft and sweet. He puffed out his cheeks and chewed: "Yes, I will find a way to send money to my sister."

However, for Li Minglou, whether it was Lian Xiaojun doing business or asking for money to come to Jiannan Road through Han Xu, it would take time to solve the crisis in the future.

The crisis in Gwangju Prefecture is still continuing.

The Tian family and the Liao family had a large number of people in Guangzhou Prefecture for generations, plus servants, and finally the servants' families, so they just moved out of the city with the momentum.

Day after day, they kept repeating unexplained reasons, and were watched by the people every day. Other than that, they did not do anything else. They were quiet and restrained, and no one could find fault with them.

The government did not take any other action. When the people asked why these people left, the government only said that the people had the freedom to come and go. They had already asked and got the same answer as the people. Since it was their own wish, the government would not

To stop it, they only increased the number of patrolling soldiers and horses, and held a military competition. The skills displayed by the soldiers and generals attracted bursts of cheers from the people.

With such brave soldiers and generals, life is worry-free, and many people's panic is temporarily relieved.

But the next day there was more panic.

"Guangzhou Prefecture has so many troops, but they still want to leave? Why do you think this is?"

"There have been more soldiers patrolling the state capital recently! Why is this?"

Such inquiries and discussions swept through Guangzhou Prefecture. The Guangzhou Prefecture was immediately surrounded by people. This time they no longer asked why the wealthy family moved away, but asked what happened and strengthened the troops.

The Guangzhou government office could not answer, could not take back the additional troops and horses, and could not add more troops and horses, so it was a little embarrassed for a while.

Laughter came from the deep mansion courtyard shrouded in darkness.

The family members have been gone for a few days, but the flower hall is still full of people, with young maids on both sides. The exquisite tables and chairs in the hall, and the dim lights cannot conceal the splendor.

The men present here range in age, and they are either serious, laughing or sarcastic while drinking tea and talking.

"This is called using the son's spear to attack the son's shield. Let's see what they say this time."

"Those named Song dare not say that the government forced us to leave."

"In fact, if he dares to say it, this matter will be easy."

"Yes, if he announces the court's orders to ask for money, food, land, laws and regulations for us, we will give it. We are the people of the emperor, and of course we obey the orders of the court. Who makes him dare not

Woolen cloth?"

"It's the same now. If Guangzhou Prefecture doesn't want us to leave, it could give the order, but they still don't dare, so it's not our fault."

"It's a beautiful idea to take advantage of the benefits of Gwangju Prefecture and also take advantage of it!"

"To say that we have lived a good life for too long is clearly because the government has lived a good life for too long and has forgotten its responsibilities."

Several more people walked in and interrupted the joking and discussion in the room. Everyone stood up and saluted Master Tian Qi, and asked randomly: "What should we do next?" "What does Mrs. Huang say?"

Tian Qiye did not answer their words, but turned around and introduced the people around him: "This is Mrs. Huang's grandson-in-law Tao Ran."

This man is in his forties, dressed in ordinary clothes, with long eyebrows and narrow eyes.

The Huang family has a great business in Guangzhou Prefecture. Old Mrs. Huang has many wives and concubines, and has many descendants. The children have formed countless marriages. Everyone does not know who is who, but for the sake of Old Mrs. Huang, of course they are busy paying tribute and paying homage to them for a long time.

Master Tian Qi also followed suit and continued: "In addition, Mr. Tao is the emperor's messenger from Linzhou."

The imperial court, the emperor, and his ministers.

Everyone present who had bowed their hands and saluted suddenly straightened their bodies.
