Qi Wei looked at the bowl of ginger soup in front of him, his eyes were sore. He suppressed the touch in his heart, touched Xiaoman's head, and said softly: "Thank you."

Xiaoman smiled with his lips pursed, revealing two small dimples.

Qi Wei picked up the ginger soup, blew it, and drank it in one breath.

"Yeah, it's delicious, it's really delicious."

In fact, how delicious the ginger soup can be, but Qi Wei really thinks it tastes good. Although Fusheng is also very considerate, the kid has grown up in the military camp since he was a child. Although he has not grown into a rough man like Hao Chong, he is not much stronger.

The more Qi Wei looked at Xiaoman, the more he liked him. The person he had loyally supported back then was the Empress Dowager, who was the timid court in the past, but he was never the person in front of him.

Pingcheng.

Pearl is finally back.

He went out for two days and one night. Yan Xuecai looked at him and saw that he had all his beards and tails, his clothes were clean and neat, and his hair was not messy. He knew that he had not suffered any hardship outside.

"Young boss, Mr. Yan Er wrote a letter to his family. Now Mrs. Guo is holding the letter and tells everyone that her son has become an official and is going to pick her up and enjoy her happiness."

The manager of the board of directors did not know whether the letter was true or false. If the letter was true, Mrs. Guo would be considered an official, so she could no longer throw her in the board of directors like a piece of shit.

Since the Yan brothers left, only Mrs. Guo was left in the Yan family, so she could not occupy three more rooms.

Fortunately, since the capital was moved again, there were much fewer refugees in Pingcheng than before, and there were not so many people in Banzidao. However, an old lady occupied three adobe houses, so what did the families who lived in the straw shed think?

In the first place, the manager mobilized Mrs. Guo to move, but not only did not move, but also performed in public as if he had pretended to be dead. In desperation, the manager asked someone to lift the old Mrs. Guo who was pretending to be dead and found half a room for her.

The reason why it is half is because the other half is a toilet!

It is conceivable what kind of life Mr. Yan San lived after he took his wife and children away.

Now that Yan Zhaoshi's letter is coming, Old Mrs. Guo is as if she has gained a new life. She first took the letter to the original adobe house and forced the people who are now living there to move out, otherwise the yamen will arrest the person to jail.

A while ago, the government asked refugees to open up land, but there were very few families who were willing to go to. Later, they were asked to settle in some remote villages, and a group of people left.

Nowadays, those who stay in the big market have found various reasons to refuse to go. How good is the Pingcheng? There are governments who send grain, good people who send clothes and quilts. When they are idle, they take some work assigned by the government, do odd jobs and make some money. This is not much better than going to the wild mountains and wilderness.

If you stay in Pingcheng, you may be hit by gold falling from the sky one day, and you will become a rich man. You will eat braised pork and pour it into a bowl, so that your relatives in your hometown will know that they are well developed.

So, how could someone who lives in those three adobe houses be good at it?

Old Mrs. Guo said that her son is an official, okay, so let’s make the conditions. If your son comes to pick you up, we must pick you up all of our family. Otherwise, why should we give the house to you?

Old Mrs. Guo is calculating her life. If Yan Zhaoshi comes to pick her up, she will have to walk for a month or two on the way. In the past or two months, she can't live next to the toilet.

"My second son is a juren, and now he is an official. You are not a relative of my family. Why should you go with me? Unless you sell yourself as slaves."

Old Mrs. Guo is different from the old wives in the big market. She wore silk and satin, wore gold and silver jewelry, and enjoyed a free life of slaves and maids. Facing the scene in front of her, she would not be timid. Besides, she is now confident that her son is an official.

Although the people in the big market are refugees and live similar to those of beggars, they are all good families.

Among these four people, there are no one who sells themselves as slaves.

Once you sell yourself, it will be difficult for future generations to turn over.

As soon as Mrs. Guo said this, it really shocked the scene.

Although the adobe house was not snatched back, Mrs. Guo returned to her single room in the toilet as a winner.

Now living in the adobe house are two families, one of whom is Gao and the other is Liu.

The two families got together to discuss and asked someone to ask, and then they had an idea.

The next day, Mrs. Guo scolded him again. The two families were ready and said to Mrs. Guo: "Although we are not relatives of your family, after all, there is a bit of affection between neighbors and neighbors. It is better to be the decision. Let's sign the documents for your refugee. When your son, who is an official, we will take this document and follow you to the south. After we get there, you will be your old lady and we will find a living by ourselves. As for the current house, as long as you sign the documents, our families will move out immediately. Come here every day to cook for you, and serve you like your elders."

With the documents of seeking refuge, those who were able to move their household registration in the Great Wei Dynasty were mostly distant relatives of different surnames, or masters and apprentices.

After signing the documents of refuge, one must guarantee the person who comes to seek refuge. If this person commits a crime in the future, the party who is surrendered will also be held responsible.

But Old Mrs. Guo didn't think so much about it. Isn't it just a matter of seeking a favor? Yes, in addition to not signing a contract for sale, it is no different from buying a maid. There is no need to pay for it yourself, and there are people to serve you. Where can I find such a good thing?

As for whether these two families will rely on the Yan family in the future, Mrs. Guo will not care about it, this is all Yan Zhaoshi's business.

Even if it really depends on it, the second child deserves it. The Yan family has reached the point where they are now, and the second child owes her, who is a mother, and she will never finish it in her life.

Old Mrs. Guo waved her hand and agreed to sign the document.

The manager was not sure how to resettle Mrs. Guo. I heard that these two families wanted to sign documents with Mrs. Guo and also had to serve Mrs. Guo. The manager was unsuccessful and became a middle-aged man himself. Mrs. Guo pressed his handprint and the document was completed.

Yan Xuehuai frowned when he heard this. Mr. Yan Er picked it up from the garbage dump, otherwise why did Mrs. Guo cheat him without any mercy?

"Why did you come back so late?" Yan Xuehuai asked.

Pearl smiled and said, "I came back after watching the fun. The two families took Mrs. Guo into the adobe house, burning pits and cooking, and really treated Mrs. Guo as his ancestor. Everyone in the big market was envious and rushed to Mrs. Guo to say good things, praising Mrs. Guo for being blessed and prosperous, and the family and children and grandchildren."

Yan Xuehuai snorted coldly, Old Mrs. Guo is really prosperous, the family is prosperous, and the family is ruined and the people are killed.

Zhenzhu asked, "Young boss, do you think Mr. Yan really knows how to pick up Mrs. Guo?"

Yan Xuehuai nodded: "Why can't it be? You don't know enough about Master Yan Er. He is a filial son. Besides, he left with debts and must feel guilty, so he will definitely come."

But then again, isn’t Yan Zhaoshi afraid of being blocked by debt collection, so he won’t let him leave?

By the way, he is working in the county government office now, so it is impossible for him to come to Pingcheng for a month or two, so he will let him come over. He has been expelled from the Yan family by Yan Zhaoshan long ago. If Mrs. Guo left Pingcheng, he would leave even if he was in the yamen. So as long as he didn't come, Mrs. Guo could be picked up.

"Young master, why don't I kidnap Mrs. Guo and throw it into it, so as not to cause trouble to you when she goes to Qingshui County." said Zhenzhu.

Yan Xuehuai smiled. She really wanted Mrs. Guo to cause trouble for Yan Zhaoshi.

Although the original owner died at the hands of refugees, the one who really killed her was her biological father.

Since you cannot kill your father, let this father live a better and better life in the second half of his life.

Didn’t he feel at sucking Li Qiniang’s blood? Then let the family suck his blood and suck it happily!

A filial son, a good second uncle, haha.

"Pearl, is it difficult to transfer a ninth-rank official?" Yan Xuehuai asked.

Pearl blinked and asked, "Does the young master want to go as far as Master Yan Er?"

Yan Xuehuai nodded.

Pearl immediately felt energetic: "You don't need Qi Ye to interfere in this matter, Agate can handle this matter."

Yan Xuehuai was very satisfied. Chai Yan had no official position, no title or fiefdom, so he should leave these things to others.

Capital.

In order not to meet Lu Jinchao and Lu Laowu, Lu Jinxing deliberately walked away from another city gate.

Lu Jinxing took a mule cart out of the city. The flag bearer guard guard who guarded the city gate knew him and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu went out for a walk in the city, even the weather was beautiful. Today's weather is good, it's a good day!"

Lu Jinxing smiled faintly: "It's a good life to go out of the city to buy pigs."

Flagbearer guard...

Because of the distance, when Lu Jinxing found the Lu family cemetery, he saw the messy horse hoof marks in front of the cemetery, two of which were returned in the direction when he came.

Lu Jinxing knew that he had grasped the time very well. Lu Jinchao and Lu Laowu had already finished worshiping and returned the same way.

His eldest brother Lu Jinchao has been doing this person for more than 20 years. He gets up at the same time every day, sleeps at the same time, and chews the left and right sides after eating. The number of times he chews is guaranteed to be the same.

Before the Lu family had not yet entered Beijing, Lu Jinchao came to visit the prince and his wife every year, and walked into the cemetery at the same time and then went out at the same time. He didn't know how he came from afar and controlled his time accurately.

Now that we are in the capital, Lu Jinchao is of course more punctual. Lu Jinxing knows that Lu Jinchao must have left at this time, and it turns out that way.

And I just walked for a while.

He carefully selected the handlebar style brought by Lu Jinxing. He had worked in the farm before and was a good farmer.

He asked the handlebar to catch the mule cart and go to the surrounding villages for a walk. If there were live pigs, ask for the price.

After leaving the handlebar, Lu Jinxing climbed onto a big tree.

Although Mr. Lu is very gentle and noble, he is proficient in climbing trees to hunt birds and catching fish in the river, and he is all proficient in it, and he is at the professional level. There is no way, who made him the playmate of the Seven Hell Kings?

It was already noon, and Lu Jinxing's eyelids began to fight. Just as he was about to take a moment, the person he was waiting for finally came.

A donkey, a man, the man was medium-sized and very thin, wearing a hat and a gray coarse cloth. He wore hemp shoes and his trousers were rolled up, revealing his bronze calves.

This is an ordinary country man.

There are many men dressed up like this in the nearby villages.

The man set up a donkey in front of the cemetery. The Lu family in Duke Wei's Mansion had no relatives. Now the one guarding the tomb here is the old servant of the Lu family. At first, it was a family of a family. Later, the children and grandchildren got married and had children, so they moved to a nearby village. The old servant refused to leave and lived here alone. Every few days, the family would send diesel rice and flour.

After the Lu family entered Beijing, the old lady learned that the old servant was old, so she bought a lonely mute man to serve him. The mute man's wages were given to him by the Lu family. If the old servant died, the mute man would take care of the cemetery in the future. During the holidays, the old lady would send something to him. Therefore, Lu Jinxing would easily find out about the matter in the cemetery.

After the death of the last Duke of Wei, there was no one in the Lu family. The emperor's kindness was great. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to handle the funeral. The graves were repaired according to regulations, but they were not surrounded, and there was no gate. The villagers nearby had the courage and would come to dig wild vegetables to catch rabbits while the old servant was sleeping.

After the Lu family entered Beijing, they paid for the renovation of the cemetery and built the cemetery. There were walls around it. Unless a member of the Lu family came to deliver food, the old servant asked the mute man to close the door and prevent outsiders from entering and leaving.

But Lu Jinxing on the tree could see clearly. When the country man had just walked to the door and had not reached out to knock on the door, the door that was originally closed suddenly opened a crack from inside, first revealing a white-haired head, and then the door was pushed open with force. The white-haired old man walked out and knelt down to the ground with a thud. The country man bent down and helped the old servant up with both hands. The two walked into the cemetery together, and the door was closed again.

Lu Jinxing could see clearly that the old servant was the one who closed the door this time.

The mute man who was supposed to come out to answer the door did not know where to go.

After hearing the servants who often come here to deliver things, Lu Jinxing said that the old servant had poor legs and feet. Since the mute man came, he had to wipe the tombstones of the old man and his wife and his wife in person every day, and he no longer cared about other matters. He swept the cemetery, washed the laundry, cooked, and opened and closed the doors.

Shortly after Lu Jinchao and Lu Laowu left, he would not leave the cemetery unless the mute man was lazy and refused to come out.

But looking at the scene just now, it was clearly that the old servant was waiting for people, and the country man was the one he was waiting for.

The old servant had served the old prince, and I am afraid that even Lu Jinchao would not have received his gift rashly.

In addition to the old man, the old man's wife, and the prince and his wife who were sleeping in the cemetery, there was only Lu Yulin who could make this loyal servant wait for him and kneel down to salute him.

Lu Jinxing sighed, what he didn't want to happen happened anyway.
Chapter completed!
