At dusk in early winter, the sun sets in the sky, and the sunset glow is a bit cold.

White cloths were hung everywhere in the Ye Mansion. Ye Qing went to the mourning hall to pay homage to his grandfather. After lighting a stick of incense, he went to visit the families of the fallen sergeants and brought his two wives with him - the wife and the concubine cooperated in this matter.

They are very good, everyone in the house praises them, but they have some objections in private, occasionally saying: "This is the position of the mistress, why do we have two in my family?"

"Shh... don't talk nonsense. Madam Bai didn't say anything. Why are you so anxious? Or are you forgetting the gold bracelet that Madam Qian gave your wife last time?"

"You're a bastard, you know that's not what I mean..."

The cheerful and uplifting atmosphere disappeared further in. There were five families in the military area who were all living alone. There were only two relatives and six or seven more people, men and women, old and young. All of them shed tears at this time.

"Master, madam, my third son was fine yesterday, why did he disappear overnight..." An old man cried while holding his son's suicide note.

Ye Qing was speechless. Qianqian and Cao Baijing were very considerate and comforted him. They also gave him some rice noodles as a token of appreciation.

The soldiers who went on the expedition all expressed their gratitude to their families early, and there were stipulated pensions. Even if they had grievances, they would not cause endless troubles. As life goes by, most of the grievances will gradually dissipate, and the rest may still be there, and they will change direction unknowingly... This

Everyone is real.

Coming out of the door of a house, Ye Qing thought about something and looked back, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

"Husband?" The two women looked back, somewhat confused.

"It's okay." Ye Qing came back to his senses and followed them.

He is the only one who knows that he has attended the funeral of this sergeant twice. The difference is that in his previous life, when this person was killed in battle ten years later, his performance was not very outstanding, but he was a hard-working old subordinate, like an old scalper. I remember that he later had a daughter.

, she was adopted as a foster daughter by herself, and she would not be there at this time...

"I have always been optimistic about this person, and I don't want to get involved here..." Ye Qing looked a little bitter: "I will bear the grievances of his family first, who will bear my grievances?"

Qianqian and Cao Baijing looked at each other and held his hand: "My husband still has us..."

Ye Qing nodded, but did not say one thing. In fact, every time one is lost, the family's luck is lost. It's not much, but it is terrible to add up to a small amount... This may be the biggest drawback of the luck method.

.

On the way back, Ye Qing kept thinking about this.

There is no pure gain without giving in the world, let alone the endless flow of luck. I am afraid that even if you perfect the five virtues one after another, you will not be able to completely avoid this shortcoming.

"Husband, the family just now was really pitiful. There were only two orphans and a widowed mother left. They couldn't even cry..." Qianqian said in a nagging voice.

Ye Qing nodded, feeling warm in his heart. This girl was a kind-hearted woman after all.

"You know why, I never do the sending of goods or money myself, do I always have to do it for you?"

Qianqian blinked and looked at Ye Qing, smiling silently.

Cao Baijing tilted her head, her tone a little uncertain: "Did the young master tell us last time that he wanted us to establish some... women's ethics?"

Ye Qing burst into laughter, Qianqian was educated by a maid, Cao Baijing lost her mother at a young age, and her family spent a lot of money to send her to a fairy school to train her early, so she lacked the understanding of ordinary ladies. Fortunately, they are all smart and learn very quickly, but they are too smart.

, she would never say anything bad about her husband.

"What is a woman's virtue? I made it clear last time. This is Mrs. Shi'en, so you don't have to keep it secret for me." Ye Qing shook his head: "I always looked down on this kind of showmanship before, but now that I have become a high-ranking person, I feel it makes sense.

The people also need this kind of warmth, and later... Probably not long after my cousin got married, a soldier was killed in battle, and when he faced his family... Without going into details, I found that I did this, and I felt relieved.

, I feel a little at ease...maybe this is people’s instinct to shirk stress?”

Ye Qing said and frowned: "I am the head of the family, why is it my responsibility to send some rice and noodles? Maintain the system that benefits everyone, open up a path for the group, and make it prosperous. Only then can it be my turn to breathe a sigh of relief.

"

"So...from then on, husband, you have asked us to do this?"

"Well, madam, you are representing me. The effect of doing this is the same as what I did. However, it is not delivered by me personally, but it can prevent me from venting my anger in the middle." Ye Qing narrowed his eyes and looked not far ahead.

The towering building outside the building is not far from the Meiyuan: "I know that people all have subconscious minds, and the subconscious mind doesn't care how much or how little is done, or whether it is in place, but it only cares whether it has been done before. I have not done it myself.

, this motivates me not to forget how to eliminate the gloomy part of my family’s luck.”

"My husband is really..." Qianqian frowned, feeling a little unbearable: "Even a benevolent gentleman might not think so much, right? The book says that every spring equinox, the emperor would personally whip the spring ox and go to the ground to push the plow as a sign of his closeness and devotion.

Encourage farming..."

"So after doing all this, there are not many people who really care about the people below." Ye Qing sneered: "I don't even think about it. There are specialties. The emperor's official job is to maintain the system that benefits the people, open up the path for the country, and make the country more prosperous."

The society is prosperous. Apart from subconscious self-deception, what practical effect does this have? This is no longer the era of chiefs with unclear social division of labor."

"The people who are actually cultivating the emperor's fields are still specialized field officials. From the royal officials to the common people, who would take the emperor seriously? It's just a matter of preference. Everyone from top to bottom touts this kind of thing, but in fact it's not

It’s just to deceive people and add official hemorrhoids. Only these emperors who really take it seriously from the heart... This is the same as what Zhuangzi said. When I think of this nature, I am so disgusted that I can’t do it. "

"Pfft--" Both women burst out laughing, and quickly covered their mouths with their hands: "Husband, you are really... what you said is so disgusting... It's so rebellious, be careful not to let people hear..."

Ye Qing nodded and stopped talking. He only listened to the two women chatting in low voices: "Who is Zhuangzi? He is a bit familiar. Sister, have you heard of the young master? Oh, I remembered it. I saw in the other world that there was a sage from the pre-Qin era...

…”

"It turns out that I have read the book he wrote. Hey... speaking of it, the young master has told short stories before, and many of them exist in this world..."

When they woke up, the two women looked at each other. Ye Qing coughed and looked at the half-set sun in the west: "Ah, the time is almost up, hurry up and go to the basement."

"Hey, does this count as what Mencius once joked about, 'Wang Gu talks about him..."

Ye Qing ran away, it's not a good thing for a woman to be smart.

It was already dusk, the rain had stopped, but the sky was completely dark. Everyone gathered in Meiyuan, knowing that the time to enter had come again.

The secret passage opened, and everyone poured into the underground hall.

In the bright candlelight, some people were still a little nervous, some were calm, and some were indifferent. Ye Qing could see it all, and he had a better grasp of everyone's character, and he fine-tuned each person's duties after entering.

People make the best use of the power they have. This is a habit developed over many years of war...

When the last one entered, he glanced at Jiang Zinan and met her eyes. He felt a little strange: "What's wrong with you? Isn't it better this afternoon?"

Jiang Zinan shook her head and followed her into the tunnel. The dim candlelight shone on her steps, giving her an indescribably charming and refreshing feeling.

"Zi Nan, you are always like this. If you have something to say, you can tell me..." Ye Qing laughed casually, quietly unfolding the spiritual magic, looked at her up and down, and reached out to touch her cheek: "Even if something bad happens,

Things, you have to remember, the other world is just a dream, it’s no big deal.”

Under Ye Qing's soft eyes, Jiang Zinan's expression changed. He hesitated to say something, but stopped: "That kind of... nothing."

"That's good."

Or maybe there was no dialogue below, and it became a little cold along the way. It wasn't until before entering the hall that Jiang Zinan took a deep breath and asked: "Mr.... son."

"Huh?" Ye Qing didn't look back, just responded.

Jiang Zinan frowned and said in a casual tone: "That other world is just a world of novels. If so, what about those people? Are they all illusory?"

Everything fell into the reflection of the soul, Ye Qing said in deep thought: "You can't say that, in fact, this group of people really existed, but it is a secret."

Jiang Zinan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"You do not believe?"

"Letter." When she raised her head again, her eyes were as usual, matched with her smile, which was perfect.

Ye Qing smiled, but his heart sank, and he quietly opened the door.

The atmosphere in the underground hall was silent, and everyone was holding their breath while sitting down. Only on the glass skylight, the last ray of sunlight disappeared into the sky, and the black night was filled with dark clouds.

Some people had closed their eyes, preparing to enter the other world, but after waiting for a while, they opened their eyes in surprise... Something seemed wrong.

Even though they were surprised, everyone remained silent for a while, all looking at Ye Qing on the altar.

Lu Shangjing made a hint on his sleeves. Ye Qing's mind was racing, he pressed the button and he was inexplicably frightened. He smiled calmly: "It seems that there is some delay. Everyone, please wait for a while. Mr. Lu, Mr. Ji, Jiang Chen, Zhou Feng, you guys

Come to the small conference room with me."

The senior executives had not left for long, and there was a buzz in the hall immediately. Everyone was talking and looking at each other. At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the door: "Report - there is a Taoist who wants to see the lord. He said he is from the imperial court."

"About the Messenger"

The crowd was in an uproar. Ye Qing pushed open the conference room door and glanced at the crowd. There was immediately no sound in the hall.

"You guys stay here, I'll go see you..."

Laughter came from the gate: "Don't bother fellow Taoist, I'm here to visit you."

The door opened with a bang, and a Taoist priest stepped in. His eyes were green and lightning-like. He instantly fell on an altar in the middle of the inner hall. He glanced at it, frowned slightly, turned to Ye Qing and bowed his head: "I am a poor Taoist."

Yu Haizi has met Mr. Number Two."

"I don't dare, I have seen the special envoy." Ye Qing calmly turned around and bowed his head, a warning sign flashed in his heart - this person is a great master, a half-step true immortal.

"Messenger from the imperial court, or messenger from heaven, what is going on? How come it suddenly descended?"

Combined with the accident of missing the inspiration in the other world, Ye Qing had a bad feeling, but he could still maintain some composure. As the second best person recognized by the Heavenly Court and the real Heavenly Being, he was not so easy to handle. After bowing his head, he stood up and asked: "
