Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Did the little girl on the side poke her head out to look outside the carriage, she was obviously interested.

"Go out with uncle and grandpa to see what happened."

Shu An patted the little girl's head and couldn't help saying, knowing that there might be someone in Chang'an who could recognize him.

But his name is known here, but it is impossible to recognize him.

And as Shu An's words sounded, the little girl's eyes also brightened.

Chapter 264 A Different Way to Sell Your Body to Bury Your Father

When Shu An took Ya Ya's hand and got off the carriage and approached the crowd, no one recognized that this old man was the world-famous Duke An Xuan.

You must know that when he was in Chang'an, Shu An lived in seclusion all the time, so some people even wanted a portrait of An Xuangong at a high price.

Just to get to know An Xuangong, it can be said that this shocked countless people, but Shu An is no different from the superstar of the future generations in this era.

So Shu An is not surprising, after all, he does not know how many times he lectures.

In the past few decades, he has traveled to many places in the whole world.

Although it is impossible to visit every place, most places are still involved.

This is also the reason why Shu An is now famous. Of course, at this time, Shu An has more freedom in his heart.

The reason is very simple, walking on Chang'an is likely to recognize him, Shu An naturally does not want others to recognize him.

After all, once someone recognized him, it would be even more difficult for him to leave Chang'an in the future.

Sometimes Shu An is often confused, this is the price of fame, this era is as crazy as the star fans of later generations.

Of course, Shu An naturally does not think that he is a star in later generations, after all, the word star does not mean a good word.

Things in the entertainment industry can be said to be complicated, and sometimes even Shu An, who eats melons, is shocked.

You must know that he in the later generations is not very sensitive to entertainment. It is for this reason that Shu An naturally does not think that he is such a person in the later generations.

Now that no one recognizes him, Shu An is very happy in his heart, and he can do things at will that he might not be able to do before.

For example, when he was in Chang'an, Shu An still needed to pay attention to his own image at all times.

After all, he urgently needs fame now, and a little stain can have a big impact.

Shu An and Laifu's guards slowly approached the crowd, and many people in the crowd moved away when they saw Shu An and his party.

Although the carriage is simple and the clothes are ordinary, the guards with guards still make these ordinary people fear.

Many people are guessing that this may be a gentleman from the nearby country.

Shu An didn't know what these people were thinking, because there was a hint of interest in his eyes at this moment.

In just a few words, he understood what had happened.

It turned out that there was a down-and-out scholar named Wang Ying who sold himself to bury his father. Naturally, many people gathered to watch.

"Grandpa, this brother is so pitiful."

At this moment, Yaya couldn't bear to speak out, because a young man knelt on the straw mat, and in front of him was a corpse that had been dead for a long time.

It seemed to bring back some bad memories of the little girl, when she and A Niang fled together.

I often encounter such scenes, some people starve to death like this, and never wake up after falling asleep.

Seeing that the little girl seemed to have some emotional appearance, Shu An comforted and touched her forehead, but there seemed to be no movement on her face.

Laifu and the guards on the side also kept their expressions calm, as if they were not much touched by this scene.

The young man kneeling by the roadside naturally saw Shu An and his party, but there was still a trace of disappointment in the depths of his eyes.

Because although Shu An had guards by his side, the clothes he was wearing were still too ordinary.

The thoughts of the young people are the same as those of the common people before. You must know that there are many country gentlemen like this in Chang'an.

It's just that the young man didn't notice that the expression in his eyes also didn't escape Shu An's eyes.

This can't help but make the corner of Shu An's mouth curl up into a lot of smiles, you must know if it is according to the thinking of later generations.

So it is more than simple and literal, and even in some historical TV dramas, selling one's body to bury one's father has become a standard part of the plot.

At the beginning, Shu An thought so too, but after decades, he had experienced a lot, and after seeing a lot, he naturally understood that it was not simple.

The story of Dong Yong selling himself to bury his father in "24 Filial Piety" has been misunderstood by many people.

This kind of thing doesn't happen often in this era, the reason is very simple, people want to save face.

You must know that in this era, you will take places with you when you go out, and the same place also needs face.

If there is a matter of selling one's body to bury one's father, then this place is enough to make many people laugh.

Under normal circumstances, some people nearby will definitely raise some money to help with the burial.

And also not many people dare to buy, the reason is still the same, that is the reputation.

If someone bought it, then it would be suspected of its prestige, and its reputation would naturally be bad.

In addition, buying a person in this era is also not that simple. In order to increase the population, Tang Law also stipulated that lost people should not be sold as slaves.

It is precisely because of various reasons that it is not the opinion of TV dramas like later generations to sell one's body to bury one's father.

Shu An might have thought about it before, but with the change of the young man's mood, he understood the young man's purpose in an instant.

Originally it was very simple, selling one's body to bury one's father was an act of filial piety, enough to gain a lot of fame.

You must know that in addition to the imperial examination, there are also ways of recommendation to enter the court as an official.

And these recommended people are either people from the noble family, or people with a lot of fame.

Some people want to take shortcuts, and this young man in front of him is one of them.

What's more, if you observe carefully, although this scholar is down and out, most of his clothes are still clean.

It means not doing farm work normally, plus the paleness of ordinary people on top of their complexion.

Maybe life is really difficult, but it is definitely not that I can't even afford to bury my old father.

"Ya Ya, sometimes what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true."

After thinking of this, Shu An said softly, the little girl is not deep in the world, and still needs to be taught a lot.

It is natural to have kind words, but they cannot be used because of kindness.

"Yes, uncle!"

The little girl nodded with a half-understood complexion and said, with a hint of depression in her words.

Because I seem to have done something wrong again, the little girl is very concerned about Shu An's mood.

But this appearance made Shu An and me laugh, and at the same time, this young man also heard Shu An's words.

Although the young man's complexion didn't change much, the fingers under the sleeves were obviously not so natural.

If he could choose, the young man wanted to leave here now, for fear that he would reveal his secret.

After thinking over and over again, the young man still bites the bullet and continues to keep it, but the corner of his eye is still staring at Shu An and his party.

This scene naturally made Shu An aware of it, but Shu An just smiled and let these common people get out of the way, as if he had no intention of exposing it.

Chapter 265 One Chance, Liaodong

After Shu An's carriage left, the young man couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he seemed to have some doubts.

This old man is definitely not an ordinary person, even if he is a squire, he is definitely not an ordinary squire.

However, the young man didn't pay attention to this point. On the other side, Lai Fu's face showed a trace of doubt.

"My lord, why didn't you expose him?"

Laifu couldn't help but asked aloud, he used to follow the master to travel all over the world, but he exposed many similar people who sold their bodies to bury their fathers.

Obviously it's not that I don't have money, but I have to find a place where I don't know myself to sell myself and bury my father. This obviously has a lot of problems.

Although it is rare to sell one's body to bury one's father, they have seen it many times over the past few decades. It is for this reason that they have become accustomed to it.

However, this time his master seemed to be a little different, which made Laifu puzzled.

"How difficult the world is."

Shu An sighed slightly and said slowly, he is also no longer his before.

You must know that birth determines too many things, whether it is in future generations or in this era.

It is not so easy to change himself, and it is for this reason that he finally left behind a thread.

Although selling one's body to bury one's father for fame is a bit of a crooked way, but it is not impossible. The reason is very simple, because there were precedents in the Han Dynasty before.

It is for this reason that Shu An gradually loses the idea of ​​exposing her.

Anyway, if it succeeds in the end, it also depends on one's own ability.

If you don't have the ability, you will be brushed down in the end. You must know that in the Li Shimin era, the government was rare.

Otherwise, there would be no rule of Zhenguan, unfortunately it will not last long, but there must be some changes in this life.

"Leaving a chance, it depends on the young man's own good fortune."

Shu An's voice continued to sound, explaining why he was different from before.

Faced with this sentence, Laifu and other guards finally understood, after all, they were all scholars.

Naturally, he understood the meaning of his master, but it was also because of this that he felt a lot of emotion.

"If I hadn't met my master, I wouldn't be much better than that young man."

Laifu couldn't help but think to himself, it was because of this that he didn't care about it anymore.

There are also many guards who have the same idea, except for the little girl who has some half-knowledge on her face.

According to what she has learned now, she still can't understand the meaning of her uncle's grandfather's words.

But the little girl still remembered it silently, and Shu An didn't encounter too many troubles in the future.

After all, this place still belongs to the Chang'an area, the place with the best law and order, and there are not many unexpected things.

Of course, Shu An came out to see this person and affairs, while the little girl said that she has a lot of interest in many things from the outside world.

Especially when he saw some gadgets on the street, his eyes were reluctant to part, which made Shu An's smile even stronger.

Shu An is not stingy, for him, money is already a matter of numbers.

What's more, in this era, there is not much place to spend money, and there are so many less entertainment things than later generations.

Basically, money is used for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and these comforts are not lacking.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Whenever the little girl received something Shu An bought, she would say something respectfully, but she was obviously very happy.

......

When Shu An returned to the academy, it was also the time when the students started school again.

After going out to relax, Shu An lived a normal life in the academy again.

Time also passed day after day, and the news after the discussion about Shu'an in the court that day also spread to Liaodong.

Li Shimin took great pains to return this younger sister.

It took eight hundred miles to send this letter urgently, obviously because I love this little sister very much.

You must know that since he ascended the throne, what Li Shimin cares most about is military power.

However, letting go of the entire Liaodong to this younger sister is enough to prove his inner thoughts.

It is not easy to know the situation in Liaodong. There are many foreign countries in Liaodong.

For example, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, etc., these are the thorns in Li Shimin's eyes and flesh.

It's just that the Turks have not yet settled down, and the requirements for Li Shimin in Liaodong are not high, as long as they can keep these foreign races from going south, it is enough.

If it were someone else, Li Shimin wouldn't care, but this is his own sister.

Concern leads to chaos, so Li Shimin naturally hopes that this younger sister can return safely.

You must know that his younger sister almost fell on the battlefield last time, but it made some of his brothers break out in a cold sweat.
