    Li Zongye's coffin was buried in Xuanfeng of Changsheng Mountain yesterday, so Xiao Hong and Han Sheng'er stayed at Xuanfeng in Dongxuan. Li Tang had to follow the Chu family back to Lingxi Town, on the way down the mountain, because someone was watching.  The group of scholars could no longer walk. They walked on the mountain for a whole day, their legs were shaking uncontrollably, their voices became hoarse when they sang along the way, and they couldn¡¯t speak. Fortunately, most of the Chu family were strong and strong.  , and helped the group of scholars down the mountain.

    In the past few days, disaster victims from Shan'an and Fengyu towns have been pouring into Lingxi town. Chu Ding opened a warehouse to release grain, and set up a cauldron of twenty mouthfuls and ten drinks in front of his house to distribute porridge. The ordinary curfew couldn't control it.  In the end, these refugees had no choice but to set up a few more soldiers to guard the gate of the west of the town. As a result, the gate of the Chu family was often full of people lying in disorder. Fortunately, the government handled it properly and temporarily set up an open-air tent for them to take refuge.  Place.

    Chu Dingbian originally wanted to let the group of scholars who suffered and suffered to eat at home, but Huang Zongxi poured a bowl of porridge to eat, and more than 200 scholars followed the example of his husband, and also drank a bowl of porridge, but Huang Zongxi drank a bowl of porridge.  After finishing the porridge, he frowned slightly. After looking around at the refugees, he grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and threw it into the cauldron. Chu Dingbian became anxious immediately, and pulled Huang Zongxi to a place where no one was around.  .

    "Principal Huang, I kindly serve porridge to the people affected by the disaster. Why do you add sand to my porridge, and how can people eat it?"

    Huang Zongxi laughed, his throat was already tired, he tried his best to clear the remaining phlegm in his throat, but he couldn't get it right, he shouted vigorously, but his voice was very weak, so he could only whisper in Chu Ding's ear:  "Don't you think your family's food consumption is too fast? You donate porridge for no reason. Not only the people affected by the disaster, but also some villains who love to take advantage of small things also eat together."

    "So what, my Chu family has a big business, I'm afraid they will be overwhelmed?"

    "Patriarch Chu, that's not what you said. No matter how big the family business is, you earned it yourself. The sage said: 'Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement'. Why do you let this group of people who get something for nothing accept your patronage for nothing?  With this handful of sand added, the fake victims will definitely not eat it, but the real victims will definitely continue to eat it, because this is the only way for them to eat.¡±

    After hearing what Huang Zongxi said, Chu Dingbian burst out laughing, and scolded: "Well, you're a 'companion to the number one scholar', although you have never been in the court, but you are not kinder than the people in the court at all, you actually came up with  With such a shameful method, if brother Xian is still alive, he will probably say that you don't love others."

    "Haha, Li Guogong has gone now. What's more, I just led a group of scholars to fight on the top of the city. He said that I don't care about the students. Now I bring a group of scholars to save food for your Chu family.  Those who are really victims of disasters, don¡¯t hurt people if they don¡¯t hurt them, please tell my group of students, Master Chu, and go back with me.¡±

    "Don't bother you, Dean Huang. In a while, I will send someone to send a car to take you all to each household. I am exhausted all the way down from the mountain. Now I am sitting with the victims."

    "Hmph, my students of Huang Zongxi, if they can't bear such a little bit of hardship, how can they plan for their family and the world? Since Patriarch Chu doesn't want to do it for him, I'll tell them myself."

    "Hey, why are you so stubborn, it really doesn't hurt people at all."

    Chu Ding couldn't stop Huang Zongxi, even though this old stubborn donkey led the students limping towards Zhendong Xinglin College, Chu Ding shook his head and smiled wryly, and immediately ordered to add  A handful of sand seemed to have caused public outrage. Many people stood up and scolded the Chu family for being unkind and unrighteous. They mixed sand in food for people and left immediately. Chu Dingbian didn¡¯t bother to explain.  Not hungry, if it is really a disaster victim, it doesn¡¯t matter whether there is sand in it or not. It has been recorded in history books that not only was there not enough food to eat during the famine, there were even allusions to eating minced meat. Although it is not necessary to be so cruel now, the food  It is for the victims of disasters, those who are greedy for small and cheap things can play wherever they like.

    In the past seven days, Chu Dingbian has been dizzy from Li Zongye's funeral. At this moment, he feels relieved, and wants to go back to his room to rest for a while. After returning from Lijia Village, he will vacate his bedroom and arrange it for  Li Zongye was recovering from his illness. At this moment, he subconsciously returned to his bedroom, but as soon as he entered the room, he remembered the short few months he had stayed with Li Zongye before, and countless sad memories emerged in his heart.

    Back then, their Chu family was still a group of exiled troops, established as the emperor's private army at the end of the Huanglan Dynasty. They originally wanted to help the country, but before the ancestors could take action, the Huanglan dynasty declined.  After the dynasty ended, this army did not forget its mission, and they still formed into an army. They fled from the vicinity of the capital to Cangzhou and found an uninhabited mountain to settle down. They thought they could live and work in peace and contentment.??The general of this team has gradually become the "village head" of this group of people. However, the mission has been passed down from generation to generation. Originally they planned to help the community of the Huanglan Dynasty, but they did not expect that in the end, Lingxi Town  From the side, it helped Qingcang's community.

    It has been passed down to him that he is already the fifth generation of General Chu. Hearing the invasion of grassland people, Chu Dingbian, who had learned the art of war from his father since childhood, felt itchy.  This group of people also followed closely and went crazy with him. They didn't expect to lay down a place of their own. Later, they brought thousands of family members from the village to Lingxi Town, and established the Zhenxi Chu Family.

    On that day, Li Zongye was terrified when he called out his identity, but if Li Zongye hadn't been the governor of Lingxi Town, I am afraid that his family would not have such a chance to make contributions. Maybe the group of people in his family would still be in that small mountain village.  , the daily cooking smoke curls up, and the enthusiasm of the neighbors is very high. Where is there any chance of a comeback?  Chu Dingbian, who is well versed in the art of war, naturally knows that in Cangzhou, Lingxi Town is the last line of defense. Once Lingxi Town is broken, the barbarian's fast horses can attack Yongping City in less than a day. Yongping City is a four-way place.  The surrounding roads are intricate and complicated. If Yongping City is broken, the army will be able to reach the capital in less than two days. It is unknown how many days the Chaojing Pass, which is stuck in the throat of the capital, can resist for a few more days.

    Fortunately, the prairie barbarians focused on looting, not attacking the city. Li Zongye only guarded Lingxi Town for three months, which made them want to retreat, and also allowed him to seize the opportunity to send surprise soldiers, like a steel knife from the side  Insert them into their stomachs and defeat the last willpower of the prairie people. If Li Zongye did not support him, his team would also be buried in the belly of the barbarians. Fortunately, Li Zongye led the crowd to kill from the rear and relieved himself  Not to mention Wei, I was able to follow Li Zongye out of Yanxing Pass to attack and kill five hundred miles. That battle was fought heartily, and the grievances of the five generations were wiped out.

    After the war, the Chu family's army, who had already been reduced to rural peasants, had no intention of entering the court to do things again. They were satisfied with being a commoner with a little wealth and peace, but their own status was special, and they belonged to the former army  At this time, if you lick your face and ask the court for a reward, if someone finds out the identities of your group of people, it will be too much trouble to go around. At that time, what you and these people will face may not necessarily be military merit, I am afraid  There is also the head of the owl.

    Regarding this matter, Chu Dingbian at that time must have been too cautious. If he had reported to the young Emperor Qianyou before, maybe the Chu family would gain the favor of Li Zongye and become the general of the Qingcang Dynasty again.  He didn't, including the fact that he later chose to escort the dark escort business, it was also because Chu Dingbian was too cautious that he chose this business.

    Today's Chu family has become a huge family in Lingxi Zhenxi. This is undoubtedly satisfied for Chu Dingbian. This is the result of his hard work. Before he knew it, he was a little bit sleepy sitting on the stool  Just when I was about to doze off, a servant outside the door reported: "Patriarch, someone sent a letter outside the door, saying that they are looking for Xie Wenyu."

    "Xie Wenyu?" Chu Dingbian's mind was so exhausted that it was a mess, and he couldn't figure out who Xie Wenyu was for a while. He dragged his tired body and walked towards the door of the bedroom, his mind was blank.  .

    "There is another Xie Wenyu in our family?" Chu Dingbian asked again.

    "Patriarch, there was a girl who was with the young master before, and that person was Xie Wenyu. I heard that she was the daughter of Xie's family, the comfort envoy of Jinyang City. She came to our Chu family to look for Li Tang two months ago.  Cheng Xiang, however, had a lot of fun with the young master, this time, the person who sent the letter was looking for the daughter of the Xie family by name, so I'm afraid it wasn't someone from his own family who came to the door."

    "Oh, it turned out to be that little girl. She looks really good, and her personality fits well with my family's Tianwen. I thought it was the sons and daughters of the Jianghu that Tianwen met in the Jianghu. It turned out to be the young lady of the Xie family in Jinyang City. Haha, I  I also intend to tell these two children that they are a matchmaker, but I didn¡¯t expect that everyone from the same family would come, it¡¯s really interesting." Chu Ding rubbed his chin, obviously satisfied with the default daughter-in-law in his heart.

    "Then, Patriarch, what should that person do?"

    "Hey, let the children handle the children's affairs. It's not good for me as an adult to meddle in anything. Tell Chu Tianwen to give him a good reputation, and don't let other little girls look down on our Chu family.  Uh" Chu Ding pondered for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said: "By the way, call my nephew Tang Er to join me, and follow me to come up with ideas. My nephew is smart and different from others.  Ordinary people must have a good way to deal with Xie's family."

    "Patriarch, if there is nothing else, I will go down and make arrangements."

    "Go, I'm a little tired, you go and do your work." After finishing speaking, Chu Dingbian immediately went back to the bedroom to rest, still thinking about his daughter-in-law."things"
