There are mythical animals at home to ward off evil spirits

Xu Mao was so drunk that he vomited and went back to the house to sleep. Bai Muqiu was embarrassed. On the second night of the wedding, just because she was reminiscing with him, the groom was drunk and the bride had to spend the whole night looking after him.

But Mrs. Xu did not blame her, she just asked Bai Muqiu to have a good rest.

She was actually surprised that her grandfather had told her about Xu Mao and even heard many people's comments about him.

He is meticulous, upright and serious in his work, and even a bit stubborn. However, he is also an extremely upright gentleman and his behavior is very decent. Even people who don't deal with him have nothing to say about his character.

However, she is not willing to marry anyone at will. Her talents and learning are among the best among the female relatives in Kyoto.

So before discussing the marriage, she gave Xu Mao a test question, and Xu Mao's answers surprised her, so she was willing to marry.

After the marriage was decided, she also exchanged letters with Xu Mao, and she really understood Xu Mao's personality.

He is not an indulgent person. On the contrary, he is not only restrained but also clear-minded.

Even on their wedding night, when he was toasted a lot, he was not drunk when he had sex with her. He talked to her soberly, and then only acted with her consent.

He knows his boundaries and sticks to them.

But now, Xu Mao rarely indulges himself when facing Bai Muqiu. His friendship with Bai Muqiu must be very deep.

In this way, she would naturally not blame Bai Muqiu for anything. She and Xu Mao had a long time to come, and they could not miss this night.

Bai Muqiu was very embarrassed, so he said goodbye after staying for a day.

Xu Mao understood that he didn't want to stay, he just gave her a gift and just kept in touch through letters.

Bai Jue went to travel far away to learn Feng Shui. Bai Muqiu had nowhere to go in Kyoto, but he still stayed in an inn for a night, bought some cakes, and left.

He didn't know that after he left, Kyoto was in chaos.

This year, Yuliang is twenty-one years old.

The rebels besieged the city and seized the throne.

It's not necessarily true that they are rebels, they are all of royal blood and they are just fighting for the throne.

The bloody storm lasted for more than a year. Xu Mao failed to write a letter and he was too busy to take care of himself.

It was a rare occasion for Bai Muqiu to use his innate power, and he felt relieved knowing that Xu Mao was in danger.

Later, the court became stable again. After all, the people did not care and had no control over who became the emperor. As long as the country was stable and he was a wise king, it didn't matter how he got the throne.

Time will smooth everything out.

Facts have proved that people with great ambitions are not too bad. The new emperor is a powerful one, who works hard to govern and appoints virtuous people.

However, Xu Mao was not reused. He was a talent and the emperor wanted to use him, but Xu Mao was stubborn.

For some reason, the emperor summoned Xu Mao into the palace. The two had a quarrel. Xu Mao was not beheaded, but was demoted and sent to a desolate place.

Mrs. Xu also followed. Originally, she didn't need to, but she was willing to follow.

Bai Muqiu wanted to go over and take a sneak peek at how the two of them were doing, but was still confused, so she received a letter from Xu Mao.

He said that he was in a good place, his official duties were free, he had time to take care of his wife, and he planned to have a child.

Numb! Go to hell!

Bai Muqiu angrily crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the table.

Fortunately, he was still worried, but it turned out that while his wife and children were on the hot bed, he was still a lonely beast!

After being angry for a while and calming down, he opened the letter again and looked at the handwriting, which was somewhat different from before.

It sounds easy, but I'm afraid it's not that easy.

Bai Muqiu sighed and secretly went to see Xu Mao and Mrs. Xu.

They did live... cleanly.

The place is too miserable, the land is difficult to grow, and the entire county is very poor.

The yamen where he lived was also very dilapidated and could not be repaired. Mrs. Xu was also a Jingchai commoner and grew vegetables at home.

Bai Muqiu suddenly remembered that Xu Mao had lived such a life when he was studying hard in a cold window. He should be able to adapt to it.

That Mrs. Xu was also a woman, and she also went to the countryside to learn about it, and she also had ideas for the development of local textile and other women's industries.

Bai Muqiu didn't show up, and he just watched them silently supporting each other. They were husband and wife and close friends.

Although it was difficult, they were getting by.

Bai Muqiu watched quietly for a few days and secretly left some medicine on Xu Mao's desk.

It's okay for Xu Mao to have some scars. Mrs. Xu is a woman after all, so it's better not to have any scars.

Xu Mao was slightly startled when he saw something. There was no signature on a message note, but the handwriting was familiar.

——Sister-in-law is as beautiful as a flower, so don’t leave scars like you, a rough guy.

Xu Mao couldn't help laughing while holding the medicine, and then his eyes became wet.

Mrs. Xu was also surprised when she received the medicine. Only then did she understand why Xu Mao was so different from Bai Muqiu.

Bai Muqiu also knew Xu Mao, so he didn't give her any gold or silver. This medicine was also given to her, and he didn't even meet her when he came.

It was Bai Muqiu's concern for Xu Mao.

Not disturbing him was out of respect for Xu Mao.

The message was to tell Xu Mao that he knew and supported it.

He doesn't persuade, but he knows that Xu Mao has his own way to go. He doesn't need to know what way it is. He only knows that no matter what Xu Mao chooses, he will unswervingly believe and support him.

Later, three years later, Xu Mao and Mrs. Xu completely changed the deserted county.

Bai Muqiu also closed her shop and wandered around.

In the contest between Xu Mao and the emperor, Xu Mao finally won, but the emperor was not convinced. He transferred Xu Mao back to Kyoto and gave him an important position to test him. Xu Mao accepted the move calmly and indifferently.

Xu Mao is stubborn and clear-minded, but he is also loyal and patriotic.

He had been unwilling to be loyal to the leader of the rebels before, but now, when the dust had settled, he had to admit that the current king was worthy of his loyalty.

Dynasty change is never easy, and many remaining ills need to be addressed.

There are also conflicts between old ministers and new ministers, etc. No matter how powerful the emperor is, he still has a headache.

In addition, what is more important is reform.

The implementation of new national policies is essential, but the resistance is huge.

Xu Mao is a minister worthy of his use. He admires Xu Mao and recognizes Xu Mao, but he also has problems with him. After all, he is an emperor, and he is depressed when encountering thorns.

Especially good ministers who are capable, have no bad intentions, and are dedicated to serving the country and the name of the country.

At first, the emperor wanted to use the elder's influence, but it turned out that the elder's granddaughter, Mrs. Xu, was also a capable general. If she had not been a woman, she would have had a place in the court.

In this way, the emperor had even more headaches. He wanted to use Xu Mao, but it was not satisfactory, but it was easy to use and effective even though it was not satisfactory, so he felt very uncomfortable.

The emperor and Xu Mao also bumped into each other for several years. Finally, Xu Mao finally reached the position of prime minister.

At this time, more than ten years had passed since the emperor rebelled and ascended the throne.

Xu Mao and he finally reached a consensus.

National political reform can be implemented.

They have been planning for so many years, not only cleaning the court, but also changing the official administration, tax laws, etc. bit by bit.

The accumulation of water has become a sea, and the accumulation of soil has become a mountain. All the accumulation has begun to bear fruit, and it is time to start drastic reforms!
