Chapter 24 Future 1

Looking at his father's stunned look, Xu Shiyang felt a little proud for no reason.

Moreover, this feeling does not seem to come from the current soul, but from the body's reaction - it's like a middle school naughty child who was recognized by his father for the first time.

Xu Shiyang is a soul-piercing person. He originally thought that he had no feelings for the Xu family and these relatives, just like facing a group of colleagues and bosses, not relatives.

Just like the last time he took the initiative to attack the Tartars, Xu Shiyang thought: at worst, he could give up his life, but he didn't think about whether the Xu family would be implicated if he failed.

Because that doesn't matter.

However, now, Xu Shiyang suddenly realized that his body did not have no influence on his behavior.

This is probably the power of bloodline? Although this influence is very small.

‘It’s really troublesome, I have to be nicer to my relatives in the future.’

‘No, it’s mainly because we have to take into account the original owner’s thinking in the future.’

Fortunately, Xu Shiyang has no malice to the Xu family.

At least not now.

The father and son each had their own thoughts. After a long time, Xu Muhe asked with a little hesitation: "San Ge'er, don't you want those two villages?"

"Of course no, I want to fight, and of course the stronger the better." Xu Shiyang replied without hesitation: "If possible, I even want to get all the forts of the Xu family."

Xu Muhe frowned and then asked, "Then..., you don't want to give it to the fifth brother in the same village?"

This is true, but that's not what it means.

"Father, what you give Xiaowu's future is two forts?" Xu Shiyang deliberately raised his eyebrows, pretended to be surprised, and asked, "You really don't know what Xiaowu is suitable for?"

Maybe it’s because of the origin of family education, Xu Shiyang’s younger brother is very suitable for the imperial examination.

His uncle and father both sighed many times: If it were still the era of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xiao Wu would definitely be able to pass the Jinshi exam and become the leader of the Xu family generation.

Unfortunately, in Jiangbei today, a blacksmith is more useful than a scholar. If Xu Shiliu was not a member of the Xu family, his greatest achievement in his life might be to get a job as a scholar in a certain fortress.

"Fifth brother is suitable for studying." Xu Muhe said: "But in Jiangbei today, what's the use of studying?"

"Jiangbei is useless, Jiangnan is useful." Xu Shiyang said with a smile: "I was thinking that if I could really make a name in a few years..."

"At that time, my family can send Xiao Wu to Jiangnan, and become a teacher at Xianggong Wen, where I will take the imperial examination."

The so-called Guardian Wen was the general backstage of the war-holding faction of the Southern Zhou court. He served as the prime minister and was the real Guardian! Although he has retired now, his influence is still very strong. The civil officials who advocated the recovery of the old land of Jiangbei, regardless of which faction they belong to, regard him as a spiritual leader.

If Xu Shiyang really can show some prestige in the future battle against the Tartars, he will undoubtedly be welcomed by the Jiangnan pro-war faction. At that time, it would be not difficult to ask Mr. Wen to study in Jiangnan and take the imperial examinations.

Xu Muhe suddenly woke up. This was indeed the best way out for his youngest son!

Jiangnan is rich in the world and has no worries about war. Since childhood, under the guidance of his Jinshi, Xu Shiliu, who has excellent eight-legged scores, studied under Wen Xianggong for several years, and the possibility of being admitted to the Jinshi is very high!

By then, the fifth brother would place a prefecture and county outside the prosperous and prosperous areas of Jiangnan, or simply go to Lin'an to be an official, which would be a hundred times better than the broken Jiangbeiguan villages that could be destroyed at any time!

"This matter... is feasible!" Xu Muhe said in a pondering voice: "I have some connections in Jiangnan, so I can help you later."

When the court moved south, his remarks that he stayed in Jiangbei were unwilling to let his hometown fall into Hu Chen.

The actual reasons are the opposite. The main reason why the Xu family did not move south at that time was: both masters believed that the Jin Jin was about to enter the Central Plains, and they were planning to be ministers of the dragon. However, later the Yuan army of the Tatars in the grassland invaded the hometown of Liaodong in the Dajin, and the main force of the Jin army entering the Central Plains was forced to return to Liaodong. This is the main reason why the Xu family failed to become a traitor.

Later, the situation outside the pass became increasingly chaotic, and all the Tartars attacked each other, and no one could gain a foothold in the Central Plains. The Great Zhou in Jiangnan passed steadily for another ten years, and there was a sign of a return. The Xu family really couldn't see who could represent the "destiny" and was afraid of standing in the wrong team. This was the main reason why the Xu family failed to become a traitor and finally persisted as an independent small force.

Of course, no one in the world knew about this dirty thought at that time.

Now the two brothers, who are still in Jiangnan, return to their hometown to organize the Yi soldiers and insist on the Han Dynasty's clothing, are regarded as their own people by the Jiangnan war faction.

This is also the biggest reason why the five small broken boats of the Xu family can trade in Jiangnan and earn some money to subsidize their household income.

Unfortunately, the Xu family had been in Jiangbei for ten years and had no record of being able to show off against the Tartars, and soon became the most popular. At this time, I was afraid that I would not even be able to enter the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

If Xu Shiyang really could achieve some results, the situation would naturally be completely different.

Even Xianggong Wen "suddenly" remembered the heroes who were still in the Jiangbei War of Resistance, and it was not possible to take the initiative to invite the aspiring young people to study in the academies under his command!

"This is indeed the best way out for the fifth brother!" Xu Muhe said enthusiastically: "If you can kill a thousand brothers, no matter which way you are, you can ensure the fifth brother's future in Jiangnan for a father!"

Xu Shiyang smiled and did not answer.

After a while, Xu Muhe realized that the boy in front of him was also his own son.

This is like letting the eldest son fight hard for his younger son’s future!

The second master of the Xu family suddenly felt deeply guilty. Xu Shiyang's mother had passed away for a long time, and the impression left by the woman from the landlord and gentry family in Jiangbei was a little blurred - it was completely incomparable to the new lady who was born in a jasful family in Jiangnan.

In addition, Xu Shiliu is indeed good at reading, these reasons have made Xu Muhe pour their feelings into his second son much more than he paid attention to his eldest son.

But, no matter what, Xu Shiyang is also his eldest son. As a father, is it necessary to favor one and the other so much?

‘Did I do it too much before?’

Once a person feels guilty, he will compromise on many things he originally insisted on.

"The matter of fifth brother is decided like this. In the future, my father will also focus on his studies." Xu Muhe said, "But what are you going to do? You are the eldest son, and I want to know what you think about your future?"
