The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

Kang County.

Xu Bei took a lot of effort to send Min Qing to Xingzhi Academy. He said it was an academy, but it was slightly larger than ordinary schools. It was not well-known in the entire Suanzhou and Beidi, but the better the conditions, the better the academy. The higher the requirements, at least the recommendation of someone with a certain status is required. Xu Minqing lacks this item the most. Although Xingzhi Academy is not famous, the entry threshold is not high enough. For the sake of money, it is not too embarrassing for him .

"Study here first. With your talent, it should be easy to catch the eyes of those gentlemen. When you get their recommendation, it is not impossible to go to a university with good conditions. Besides, the elder brother may be able to travel outside. I know someone, and I will open up the door when the time comes." Xu Bei was worried that Min Qing would not be able to settle down to study, and he comforted him earnestly. He wanted to try his best to cram Min Qing into a good academy, just like studying in his previous life. , is it because he is trying his best to send his child to a good school, hoping to get a good university in the future, and he feels that he is similar to the mentality of those parents. He is not raising a younger brother, but a son up.

Of course, there is no need to tell Min Qing these things. In short, if you can earn more money, then do your best to train your younger brother.

After Xu Minqing was busy with his brother, the two brothers rented a house near the academy. Not only that, but his brother also hired his mother-in-law to take care of their daily life, helping them wash clothes, cook and clean up the house. Xu Minqing is a smart person. Judging from the arrangement of the elder brother, the elder brother may have to leave for a while before he can arrange everything properly, and he will no longer go out to do business during the day and come back at night like in the town.

Thinking that he might not see his eldest brother for a while, Xu Minqing was both reluctant and worried. There were bandits and government bandits outside, so it was not safe no matter what.

Thinking about something in his head, his hands were a little messy, and he spread out the clothes he had just folded. Seeing that he was absent-minded, Xu Bei hurriedly snatched him over, pulled him to sit down and talked: "What's the matter, I'm worried that you are in the academy. Do you have a bad relationship with other people here?" Xu Bei really treats Min Qing like a child, trying to figure out the child's mind with the mentality of a parent, is he anxious because of changing to a new environment?

Xu Minqing broke free, stood up and poured a glass of water for the elder brother, sat back on the seat and lowered his head, a little sleepy: "Brother, do you really want to go out to do business?" After watching for a while, the elder brother was missing arms and legs The elder brother's ghost-like characters can be regarded as [-]% to [-]% recognized, so he also knows what the elder brother wants to do, but this means that the elder brother can't be with him often.

"Haha, I was worried about this, don't worry, I will definitely make a fortune when I go out this time, so you can focus on your studies, and the money is taken care of by your elder brother, and your elder brother can only do these things .” Xu Bei smiled and drank his saliva.

"Brother, it's getting colder and colder, can't we go out again next year?" Xu Minqing realized that his brother's thinking was not on the same line as his own, so he persuaded him in another way.

"No!" Xu Bei vetoed it straight away, seeing his younger brother's eyes darken, and tried to explain to him, "Look, I don't know what's going on recently, food prices are rising, on the one hand, we can't just sit and eat, on the other hand, why not? It's not an opportunity, before others find out, I go out and collect more goods, and I can sell them for a good price when I come back."

"Food prices are rising? Brother, will there be any problems?" Xu Minqing couldn't help being attracted by this sentence. Although the government tightened control after the disaster, the food prices have risen a lot compared to usual, and they are still rising ?Wouldn't the life of the common people be worse?

"Other issues are out of our control, but once food prices rise, the prices of other daily items will also rise, so I have to make this trip while I still have some silver taels." For Xu Bei, other issues That's what the government needs to consider, not what ordinary people like him need to take into account. Even if something goes wrong, it's more important to have more money in your pocket than anything else.

Thinking of what he heard along the way about the frequent conflicts between the Dingbei Army and the barbarians outside the pass, Xu Bei felt that he should use the space to hide some food and other daily necessities. Not hungry either.

Just in time, I solved these problems together when I went out.

Xu Minqing bit his lip, knowing that it would be difficult for him to dissuade his elder brother, but he was still worried about his safety outside, and the figures of Brother Zhang and the others suddenly flashed in his mind, Xu Minqing suggested: "Brother, I can't rest assured that you are outside, how about this , Big Brother, can you invite someone with good skills through Big Brother Zhang, and Big Brother, you must not be brave when you encounter anything outside, I...I..."

Xu Minqing couldn't continue, but Xu Bei understood. He touched Minqing's head twice and said, "Don't worry, no matter what happens on the road, I will take my own life as the most important thing. I can't fight it." Can’t you escape? Just stay at home and wait for me to come back. Brother Zhang, I asked the people on the pier to ask. It’s exactly what you said. Even at home, it’s best to invite a caregiver to come over. , I can feel more at ease outside."

Xu Beiyue said that he felt more and more that he and Minqing were dependent on each other. Without Minqing, he didn't know what it meant to live in this world again.

"Well, I listen to my brother." Xu Minqing finally held back his jealousy, and quietly rubbed his head against his elder brother's hand. He was more attached to his elder brother than ever, especially when he thought that his elder brother was leaving soon, so he stretched out his arms to hug him. Brother, buried his head and said in a muffled voice, "Brother, I'll sleep with you today."

The soft voice brushed against Xu Bei's heart like a feather, making him, a rough man, soft-hearted, but he couldn't say anything sensational, so he rubbed his head on his chest again, speaking in a rough voice. Said angrily: "Okay, your brother just needs a warm bed, as long as you don't think your brother's feet smell bad."

"Brother, you have to wash your feet before you can go to the kang." Xu Minqing declared righteously.

"Boy, you actually took care of your brother, let's see how I teach you." Xu Bei laughed, and stretched out his hand to scratch Xu Minqing's itch. This younger brother has been ticklish since he was a child.

"Brother..." Xu Minqing tried his best to avoid his elder brother's hand on the kang, and he couldn't help laughing until his eyes almost fell down, his hair was messed up, his face was flushed, his eyes were moist, and there was a rumor from the originally deserted room. The laughter of the two made them a little more angry.

Xu Bei couldn't help pinching his younger brother's face, and murmured to himself: His younger brother is really attractive, and it will be even worse when he grows up. sent someone.

Xu Bei stayed at home with Xu Minqing for two days before leaving. Before leaving, he left 20 taels of silver, and told him to hide it well, and don’t be reluctant to spend the money. If you earn the money, you have to spend it. After sending Xu Minqing to the academy, Xu Bei rushed The ox cart left Kang County.

Xu Bei drove the bullock cart slowly on the road out of the county. At the same time, two hundred cavalrymen from the Dingbei Palace escorted the fourth son of the palace, and started the trip to the capital, accompanied by Zhu Kangcheng and Lu Yunzhi.

Because the fourth young master was weak, a thick blanket was spread in the carriage in the middle, and fragrant tea was placed. The fourth young master sat at the small table and played chess with Lu Yunzhi who was sitting opposite him. Not long after, Lu Yunzhi Just throw in the towel.

The two put away the chess pieces, the fourth young master sipped his tea, and chatted with Lu Yunzhi: "Did you and Kang Cheng encounter any interesting things when you went out this time?"

Lu Yunzhi also had a cup of tea in his hand, and was about to shake his head and say no, when the pair of brothers flashed in his mind, he paused, and then he talked to the young master, because he knew that the young master wanted to help these people , and that pair of brothers happened to catch his and Kang Cheng's eyes. The fate between people is sometimes as simple as that.

"Oh? You said that younger brother was adopted and has a talent for reading?" The fourth young master raised his eyebrows. Although he was sitting in a slack posture, his natural elegance was engraved in his bones.

"Yeah, I thought they had nowhere to go. I could recommend an academy for them. I didn't want to leave before I could continue contact." Lu Yunzhi said with a smile. There is nothing more.

"If these two brothers are really competitive, there may be no chance to meet again in the future." The Fourth Young Master believes that as long as they are talents, no matter what kind of adversity they are in, there will always be times when they will be cast.

"That's right, when I come back from the capital, I'll send someone to check on their situation." Lu Yunzhi said with a smile.
