Li Hao took two oil bottles to the road, and the trip was very slow. He arrived in Luoyang in four days. Before he could get out of the Henan Road, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when he entered Luoyang City. Li Hao thought that if he continued to rush, he would be afraid that he would miss the Ao Tou, so he found an inn in Luoyang and planned to continue his journey tomorrow.

As soon as he walked outside an inn, Li Hao found two people squatting there begging in the corner opposite the inn. A little girl of twelve or thirty years old and a thin woman, in her early thirties, were worn out and covered in muddy faces, looking very pitiful. The girl snuggled in the woman's arms. Look at the appearance of them, they should be mother and daughter.

The living conditions in the Tang Dynasty are already very good. Although they have not reached the point of not closing their doors at night, they rarely see beggars on the streets. The mother and daughter are begging here. Looks very pitiful, and Li Hao's sympathy is flooded again. He turns around and walks over and throws seven or eight copper coins into the broken porcelain bowl in front of the woman's feet.

The woman quickly looked up and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you, my son for giving alms. Your son is such a kind-hearted person. The Bodhisattva will definitely bless you."

"I don't believe in Bodhisattva." Li Hao raised his eyebrows, showed a friendly smile, and asked, "Where are you from?"

The woman replied: "My mother and daughter of my family are from Xuzhou."

"Xuzhou?" Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and Hu Dashan, who was standing beside him, interrupted, "Coincidentally, we are from Xuzhou."

The woman's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly: "Are you from Xuzhou too?"

Hu Dashan nodded vigorously, as if he was afraid that the other party would not believe it.

Li Hao asked slowly: "Since you are from Xuzhou, why are you in Luoyang?"

When the woman heard this, her eyes were red and tears were hidden. She was sad for a moment and explained: "Some day ago, there was a plague in Xuzhou. Although the plague was finally quelled, the child's father still left. Unexpectedly, just a few days after the plague was pacified, the child's uncle actually called the government and snatched Tian Hefang. The slave had no choice but to take the child away from Xuzhou and came here."

Li Hao was surprised when he heard this: "My brother-in-law robbed your land and house? Or did the government help him rob it? How could this happen?"

The woman had no choice but to wipe her tears: "There is no way, who can't make me feel bad and not be able to give birth to a boy?"

When Li Hao heard this, he suddenly realized that he was another mother and daughter who had been cheated by ancient ethics. The ethics of the Tang Dynasty were not as strict as those in the Song and Ming dynasties, but they were still similar in terms of inheritance of family property. The woman's husband died and had no son, so his family property would be given to brothers who could inherit the incense. After all, his wife and daughter were both foreign surnames. Ancient ethics attached great importance to the surnames of ancestors, and the status of women was too low.

Li Hao has never liked the strict ethics of ancient times. Now after listening to the story of the mother and daughter, he was full of disgust for the feudal ethics. However, no matter how disgusted he was, he had no choice. Ethics was a shackle worn by the feudal people. It lasted for thousands of years. No matter how the dynasty changed, ethics occasionally changed, but it was just a change of soup and no medicine. Li Hao, a future person, could only sigh at the feudal ethics.

In just a short while, Li Hao had a lot of thoughts in his mind. At this time, the woman spoke again: "After I took my daughter to leave Xuzhou, I accidentally lost money on the way and begged all the way to Luoyang. I wanted to find a living, but when I saw that I was a woman, I didn't want me to work at all. I had no choice but to take my daughter to beg along the street." When she said this, she could no longer help but feel sad and tears fell.

When the little girl saw her crying, she obediently wiped her tears: "Mom, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry..."

Seeing that the mother and daughter were pitiful, Li Hao immediately felt compassion. He was short of people around him now, so he said, "Since you have nowhere to go now, why not go to my house to do work."

"Ah!" The woman was very surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, Yun'er, thank you, thank you, thank you," and then pulled the little girl to kowtow.

As a modern person, Li Hao is very resistant to kowtows. To be honest, when he was facing the saint in the Golden Palace, he didn't want to kowtow to Li Shimin. However, if he didn't kowtow, he probably would have to move. He could only succumb to the tyranny of the imperial power. Moreover, kowtowing to Li Shimin is not too embarrassing. After all, he is the emperor of the ages, the Khan of the Heavenly Khan! At this moment, he saw that the woman kowtowed, so he hurriedly reached out to stop her, pulled her mother and daughter to stand up with force, and said, "Don't kowtow, I don't like others kowtowing me."

Although the woman stood up, she still said thank you several times before stopping. Li Hao asked, "What is your name when you were at your parents' home?"

The woman nodded respectfully and replied: "Jin Qiaoyun."

"Where is your daughter?"

"Her name is Shi Xiaoyun."

"Two clouds, it's good." Li Hao smiled, looked at the dirty looks of the two of them, and said, "Look at you, you are dirty. In the future, you must dress well and dress neatly. Don't embarrass me. Let's go with me first and wash off your mud."

After saying that, he turned around and walked straight to the inn opposite him, with the Hu brothers and Jin Qiaoyun and his daughter following closely behind.

Li Hao asked for three rooms and lived alone, one for the Hu brothers and one for the Jin family. Then he asked the shop assistant to prepare hot water and a bathtub for Jin Qiaoyun and her daughter to take a bath. He went to the street to buy some sets of change clothes for their mother and daughter, and asked a female customer to help deliver it to the Jin family's mother and daughter's room.

After waiting for more than an hour, the mother and daughter finally finished washing and walked out of the room wearing new clothes. Li Hao looked closely and found that Jin was quite handsome and beautiful. Although she was in her early thirties, she was still beautiful and charming. As for her daughter Shi Xiaoyun, she was petite and cute, with two shallow dimples on her cheeks, and her big eyes were flashing at Li Hao, which was so sensual.

Li Hao smiled and nodded: "Well, this is the only thing that is decent. Don't make it dirty again in the future. I have a cleanliness obsessiveness." When he talked about his cleanliness obsessiveness, he blushed a little. In his previous life, he was actually very sloppy in life. After traveling through time, he was trained by Zhiyuan Zhenren, which improved a lot, but his nature was still difficult to change. The reason was corrected, one word - "lazy".

Jin's cheeks also turned red, and she lowered her head and said, "How can the begging life not be dirty? I also deliberately dirty my face."

Li Hao nodded and understood what she meant. After all, the orphan and widowed mother were wandering outside, but the mother and daughter were so beautiful. If they didn't get dirty, they would have been defiled long ago.

It was getting late at this moment, so Li Hao asked the inn to prepare supper, letting the mother and daughter have a full meal first.

The next morning, Li Hao rented another carriage and asked Jin Qiaoyun and his daughter to ride it. Jin refused to say that they were Li Hao's servants and would become slaves in the future. How could they ride in a carriage? Li Hao had no choice but to get on the carriage first, and then called them in, saying that they were serving themselves and pounding their legs. This was actually an excuse. Only then did Jin obey and get on the carriage obediently.

With a mother and daughter, the speed of traveling was slower. Fortunately, Li Hao was not in a hurry and had enough money to travel all the way to enjoy the scenery. A month later, he finally arrived in Lantian County.

When they arrived at Shanghe Village, Li Hao was shocked to find that his old house was missing. To be precise, it was not disappearing, but a big change, and he couldn't even recognize it.

Standing at the door, I saw that everything from the courtyard wall to the door and then to the front of the door was newly repaired. There was a large bright red plaque on the front of the door, with the two words "Li Mansion" in Lishu.

Seeing such a luxurious house, Jin couldn't even close his mouth. Unexpectedly, Li Hao was young and had such a big fortune. He asked in disbelief: "Young Master, is this your home?"

Li Hao himself was a little stunned, came back from his lost state, coughed dryly, and nodded: "Yes, that's right, this is my home, you will live here from now on."

Shi Xiaoyun shouted happily: "Wow, this house is so big and beautiful, I feel like I'm dreaming."

Li Hao smiled and went up to knock on the door. In a moment, the door opened, revealing a strange face. He was a young man in his twenties wearing a cloth hat. The young man looked at Li Hao and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Hao looked at him in surprise and asked, "Who are you? Where are Du Hong?"

The young man replied: "Butler Du is busy repairing flowers and plants. Do you know Butler Du?"

Li Hao said: "I am the owner of this house, Li Hao, please let Du Hong come to see me."

The young man was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll inform Butler Du." After that, he closed the door and heard the sound of rapid footsteps inside.

After a while, there was another rapid footsteps, and the door creaked open, and Du Hong appeared panting. When he saw Li Hao, Du Hong shouted in surprise: "Young Master, you are back." After that, he came up excitedly to salute Li Hao.

Li Hao pointed to the newly trimmed door of the courtyard wall and asked in a confused look: "Is this what you trimmed?"

"I don't have that ability." Du Hong grinned, "It was the worker I hired to repair it. I wonder if the young master is satisfied?"

Li Hao frowned and nodded: "Satisfied is of course satisfied, but... in fact, it's better to practice it casually. Why do you have to practice it so luxuriously? Well... it costs a lot of money, right?" Li Hao didn't know why, but now he has become very rich and stingy. Maybe it's because he has lived a poor life in the mountains. He has been so lazy that he has been planting land for four years, and he is still very resentful.

Du Hong said seriously: "Young master, don't cherish money. The house face is a symbol of identity. The most important thing in a house is the house face."

Li Hao nodded, then shook his head again: "No, I am a vain young master, how can I have any identity?"

Du Hong still said seriously: "Yes, it's because he knows that the young master is white that the old slave has made the stone lion at the door very small."

Li Hao was completely in a dark head and found that he and the old man were not on the same channel at all. Since he mentioned the stone lion, Li Hao glanced at it and his expression suddenly became very exciting. He saw that there were indeed two three-foot-high stone sculptures standing on both sides of the gate. As for what was carved, he really couldn't tell because... the resolution was too low, and the four words "short-made" were not enough to describe this pair of stone lions.

"How much does this pair of stones...things cost?" Li Hao asked casually.

"Not too much, not too much, only ten points." Du Hong replied with a smile.

Li Hao's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, ten cents of his eyebrows! You should know that a commoner's family earns only five or six cents of a year. This pair of stone lions who could not see clearly what monster it was actually had to 10 cents of him. He suddenly felt very painful.

Just then, Li Hao suddenly discovered a problem, stared at Du Hong with wide eyes, and asked excitedly: "Has the inside been repaired?"

"It's been repaired." Du Hong grinned, as if waiting for Li Hao to praise him.

Li Hao rushed into the yard like a gust of wind. When he saw that the flowers and trees were neat and the houses were fresh, almost the same as the newly built ones. Li Hao ran to the yard and ran back and forth, trying to find someone who missed it, because then he could spend less money. Others followed him like fools, and there was no way, who said he was the young master?

"It's over, it's over..." After surfing the yard, Li Hao was already a little dull. He sat on the stone steps in the corridor and asked, "How much did you... spend in total?"

Du Hong took out a stack of paper from the words and handed it to Li Hao, saying, "It took a total of 856 knots to repair the house, this is the bill."
