Huahua sat cross-legged on the roof, looking at the wealthy family across the way who were still singing and dancing.
"There was a rowdy night at his house last night. Both the host and the guests got drunk and held an open party." Cao Ying sat on the side, "Shi Zhongtang is coming menacingly, and Chang'an's army is still halfway there. I don't know how happy they are.
What."
"If you drink today, you will get drunk now." Huahua looked at him sideways, "Someone from Your Highness's mother's clan escaped, it's time to look for him."
"That is His Highness's uncle." Cao Ying said, "I have already sent someone to do this."
"Although there are King Yong and King Zhen in Chang'an, they don't have much contact with each other after all. They are very cold." Huahua clasped her knees with her hands and stared blankly at the male master of the Haoqiang family coming out of the bedroom. She shuddered and then shrank back, "
In other words, His Highness has no relatives."
"What are you worried about?" Cao Ying asked.
"I'm not worried, I just feel that Your Highness is pitiful."
…
Pitiful?
Cao Ying suddenly slapped her forehead, causing Huahua to ask curiously, "Have you forgotten something?"
"From the first time I saw His Highness, I forgot that he was still an ignorant young man, so I and Yi Niang put the burden of rebelliousness on his shoulders. Over the years, His Highness seems calm, but for a young man,
!Having to shoulder such a heavy burden, I don’t know how he spends it.”
"so……"
"Find Huang Wei!"
…
Zhongzhou, Sheqing County.
Sheqing County is not that big, and is even a bit remote.
The entire county has a population of several thousand.
Squeak.
In the early morning, the door of Zhao's house opened.
The woman next door came out to pour night fragrance. When she saw the man next door coming out, she said, "Huang Wei, it's so early!"
"Yes!"
Huang Wei, who is forty years old, has a dark face and habitually smiles when he sees people. He is very honest.
He looked at the sky, carried the firewood placed by the door into his house, chopped it, and started to light the fire.
This is a courtyard with five rooms. One is the bedroom of him and his wife Zhao. The other is divided into two halves. Inside is the bedroom of his eleven-year-old daughter Huang Huan, and outside is the bedroom of his nine-year-old son Huang.
Bamboo bedroom.
The other two are the residences of his brother-in-law Zhao Fu, his wife Ma, and their son Zhao Desan.
Huang Wei is his adopted son-in-law. He was a refugee in the early years and lived in Sheqing County. He was hard-working and would take the initiative to help others when they were begging.
A businessman took a fancy to his diligence and took him on as a clerk.
The businessman's name is Zhao Cheng. He is a cunning man and does not pay him wages, but only provides food and accommodation.
According to Zhao Cheng, you don't even have an identity. I give you a bite of food and a place to live, and I am your benefactor. Yet you dare to ask for money and be beaten to death.
Huang Wei was very honest and didn't ask for money.
Two years later, Zhao Cheng's health deteriorated, so he took his son Zhao Fu with him, hoping to pass on his sesame oil business to him. However, Zhao Fu had a bad temper and often offended others.
"When you do business like this, you offend all the customers and run away." Zhao Cheng was very melancholy, watching his business stop, but he saw Huang Wei who was busy at home.
Huang Wei has always been very diligent, whereas in the past Zhao Cheng didn't care at all.
But now the situation of the Zhao family is not good. Once he leaves, the business son will not be able to take over. What will the family have to eat?
Huang Wei was pushing the mill. He was very strong and pushed extremely fast. According to Zhao Fu, since Huang Wei came, the donkey at home has changed his profession.
He accidentally saw Huang Wei's daughter leaning against the door, and his heart moved.
Zhao was twenty years old that year.
In that year, Zhao Cheng called Huang Wei and asked him: "Do you want to settle down with someone who knows both coldness and warmth?"
Huang Wei nodded subconsciously and said he wanted to, but no need. Zhao Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Be the Zhao family's son-in-law!"
Lao Zhao spent a lot of money and used connections to get him banned.
Later, Huang Wei couldn't help but marry Zhao.
Huang Wei was twenty-seven years old at that time.
Zhao is twenty-one years old.
Before getting married, Huang Wei bit one to death and he would never change his surname.
My adopted son-in-law needs to change his surname, otherwise what will happen to his children?
But Zhao Cheng readily agreed.
He has a son and has no shortage of incense.
So, Huang Wei decided to cut the door upside down.
He was grinding in the yard, squeaking, and the donkey next to him bared his teeth at him in mockery.
Grinding sesame oil is a technical job, and Zhao Fu has a bad temper and is impatient, so he can't do it.
Huang Wei likes it.
When grinding, he was completely immersed in it.
At first, he would always think about his family and his sister.
Gradually, he forgot all this and his mind was empty.
After polishing the sesame oil, I felt much more relaxed.
Squeak!
The bedroom door opened, and his wife Zhao came out, yawned, and then roared, "Huanhuan, I can't afford it!"
"Get up."
The door of the next door opened, and her eleven-year-old daughter Huang Huan came out. She was wearing coarse clothes and rubbing her hands, "Aye, can you help me?"
Huang Wei shook his head, "Sleep more."
Mrs. Zhao yelled at him: "Why are you sleeping? If you dare to sleep in like this when you get married, your parents-in-law can drive her back. Da Lang! Da Lang!"
"knew!"
Nine-year-old Huang Zhu's voice was a little dull, and he probably covered his head with the quilt.
"Get up."
Zhao roared.
"It's not over, isn't it?"
The door on the side opened, and Zhao Fu, who came out in clothes, rubbed his eyes and cursed: "Early in the early Qing Dynasty, Huang Wei came in and out, and the sound of grinding and grinding made people upset. Then it was your family who made a lot of noise, and made people angry."
Don’t let people sleep anymore?”
"That's right." In the room, Zhao Fu's wife, Ma, lifted up the quilt and said dissatisfied.
Mrs. Zhao was angry, "Without Huang Wei pushing the hard work, who will support your family? I don't see you coming to help, all I can do is eat and eat!"
"He is the son-in-law, who will do it if he doesn't do it?" Mr. Ma came out with his clothes on, and started fighting with his sister-in-law with their arms crossed.
"What kind of son-in-law? Huang Wei's surname is still Huang."
"Not a son-in-law? He owns the family property. If he wasn't a son-in-law, how could Aye give it to him in the first place? The wealth will not flow to outsiders!"
"Ha! Even if he is my adopted son-in-law, he is still my adopted son-in-law. What does it have to do with you?"
"I am the wife of the Zhao family, why is it irrelevant?"
"If you don't work, you won't eat. This is what Aye said before he left. Go and cook." Mrs. Zhao pointed to the kitchen, angrily.
"How?"
Zhao Fu's son Zhao Desan came out and said aggressively: "But we want to take action?"
Zhao Fu frowned and said, "Don't worry about adults' matters and go wash up."
"Don't worry about what?" Ma pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, "If you are so timid, who would want to marry you?"
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she knew that she was ridiculing herself and Huang Wei. She was furious, rolled up her sleeves and was about to take action.
"Okay, okay."
Huang Wei came over to hold his wife, and Mrs. Zhao glared at him, "Let go!"
Huang Wei smiled bitterly, "As a family, why bother doing this so early in the morning! Hurry up and do it, you still have to sell sesame oil after breakfast!"
"Useless man! Aye was blind, so you let me be a family." Zhao forgot the fact that she had fallen in love with Huang Wei, waved her hand and went in angrily, "Huanhuan, come in, Aniang.
You comb your hair."
Huang Zhu followed him in, "Mom, there's me too!"
"roll!"
Ma reluctantly entered the kitchen. Later, after eating a fiery breakfast, Huang Wei went out with a load to sell sesame oil.
"Sesame oil! Zhao's sesame oil."
There were more vendors on the street now, and those selling food all smiled at Huang Wei.
"Huang Wei, were you attacked by your wife today?"
"Huang Wei, your brother-in-law told you to take your family out!"
"Huang Wei, bring some sesame oil."
Huang Wei just smiled at the teasing and hurried up when there was business.
"Here's some sesame oil."
The hawker handed over the bottle of sesame oil. Huang Wei opened the small jar, poured some sesame oil with a grapevine, and showed it to the hawker. "It's full."
"Don't leave it behind." The vendor stared.
"rest assured."
The mouth of the bottle is very thin, so that you can better control the amount when pouring the sesame oil.
Huang Wei tilted the raisin, and the viscous sesame oil formed a line and poured accurately into the small mouth of the bottle.
After pouring the sesame oil, there is no trace outside.
"This craftsmanship is amazing!"
Everyone praised.
"Then the Zhao family depends on him. Don't look at Zhao Fu's stubborn mouth, but he really wants to let Huang Wei's family go. Huang Wei is not afraid because of his skills, but his family is afraid of starving to death."
"No, it's just that I feel sorry for Huang Wei. He has to support two families by himself."
"The National People's Congress divides the family, and the tree branches. The Zhao family is fierce, but they refuse to leave because they are worried that Zhao Fu and his family will starve to death."
"Huang Wei is very busy..."
When the voice came, Huang Wei took the money, nodded with a smile, and left with the load.
After wandering around all morning, most of the sesame oil was sold.
Business was good, so Huang Wei got into the alley and continued to sell.
After waiting around for a while, Huang Wei went to the snack shop to buy a pack of snacks for his daughter and carefully put them in his arms.
Don't let anyone see it when you get home, otherwise Zhao Desan will scream again.
He picked up his load and prepared to go home.
"...How long did Huang Wei come to Sheqing County?"
Someone is asking questions from the side.
"Many years."
"Think about it carefully."
"I'm still busy!"
"I told you it would be good for you."
"You are trying to coax others with your words...hiss!"
"Say it, and this bunch of money will be yours."
"Huang Wei...why do you ask him?"
"He is my relative."
"But your accent is from Chang'an. I haven't heard that Huang Wei has relatives in Chang'an! If he had, he wouldn't have become a son-in-law."
"Sister-in-law?"
There was more joy in that voice, "Think about it, how many years ago did he come to Sheqing County? By the way, Lao Wang, go to the county magistrate and ask him to check the household registration immediately and find out how long ago Huang Wei registered.
If it happened within those three years, they would definitely be the remnants of the Huang family."
"There are a lot of them."
A man turned out of the side alley and saw a vendor carrying a burden smiling humbly at him.
No one naturally likes to bow his head and smile to others. Only those who can move forward under the pressure of life, and only those who have a big family behind them, can do this.
They knew they couldn't make a mistake, otherwise the family would have to drink the northwest wind.
Lao Wang and others are well-informed, and these people are like grains of sand and will not attract their attention at all.
When Lao Wang went to the county store, the hawker walked faster and faster with his load.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he knocked.
Mrs. Zhao came to open the door and saw Huang Wei, so she asked, "How is the business?"
She weaved cloth with Ma at home, and Zhao Fu was in charge of selling it.
Huang Wei put down his burden, first went out to look around, then turned around and closed the door, "Prepare money and dry food, and leave now."
"Where to go?" Zhao asked casually.
"Someone is coming to kill us." Huang Wei said.
"You must have drunk too much!" Ms. Zhao put her hands on her hips and was about to scold.
Huang Wei's face turned pale, "I was not a refugee back then, but was being pursued by my enemies. If I don't leave, my whole family will not have to leave."
"You old guy, you really drank too much..."
Mrs. Zhao reached out to touch his forehead. Huang Wei grabbed her hand and said in such a vicious tone for the first time: "If you don't leave, I will take the child with me. If you die, don't blame me!"
He let go of his hand and rushed into the room, "Huanhuan, Da Lang, pack your clothes and food immediately. The sooner the better."
Zhao rushed in, "Who is the enemy you are talking about?"
Huang Wei turned around with bright eyes, "My whole family died at the hands of my enemies, including my wife and children. Do you understand? Hurry up and deal with it."
Mrs. Zhao was dubious and a little panicked, but she habitually called Zhao Fu and Mr. Ma.
"That's nonsense." Zhao Fu turned around and prepared to go back.
Huang Wei ignored him and packed his things, just as Huang Huan came in with dry food, Huang Zhu followed her, looking a little timid.
"Walk!"
Huang Wei picked up the burden.
"you……"
This is a Huang Wei that no one has ever seen before. His eyes are bright and he is extremely decisive.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Ma asked.
Huang Wei said: "I heard those thieves discussing that someone went to the county to look for my registration document. They can find it out by checking. In addition, I have to pray that they act steadily and wait until the household registration is found before taking action. Otherwise,
Disaster is imminent in an instant."
Zhao Fu and his wife still hesitated, and Mrs. Zhao scolded: "Without your brother-in-law, how can your family survive?"
Yes ha!
Zhao Fu and his wife suddenly realized it, packed up their things, and set off.
"Take the back door."
Huang Wei took them out of the back door and said: "Go separately, don't crowd together, one after another."
When the family left Sheqing County, Huang Wei said without hesitation: "Take the trail."
"Don't follow the official path?" Zhao Fu asked.
"They will first trace the official road, and then they will search everywhere if they can't trace it. There are many trails, and they can't tell which way we are taking..."
"You seem to know a lot." Zhao Fu said.
Huang Wei looked back at the county town with a look of pain in his eyes, "These are all things I learned when I was on the run."
…
Bang!
The door of Zhao's house was kicked open, and a group of mirror stakes rushed in.
"Right here." said the confused clerk outside the door.
Everyone rushed into the room, but all they saw were messy clutter.
"They ran away."
The inspection stake came out of the kitchen, "There are still sparks in the stove, they can't go far."
"Chase!"
…
The third update will be resumed today, and the update time will remain as usual.
