Chapter 81 Distant Relatives

Stayed at the old man's house for one night, and Xu Yue's family continued their journey. They couldn't stay here for long.

But where to go next, you really have to think carefully about it.

Xu Da rolled his eyes and said, "Go and join our aunt!"

Everyone in Xu Yue: "Huh?"

Don't they have no relatives?Where is the aunt from?

Xu Da curled his lips into a smile, and said mysteriously: "Do you still remember when I told you before that there was a great-grandfather in our grandfather's generation who messed up?"

Wang Dayou didn't know the original situation of Xu's family, so he drove the car silently, listened carefully, and didn't participate in the conversation.

Because after choosing to escape from Hejian County with the Xu family, he knew that his family and the Xu family would be grasshoppers on the same rope for the rest of their lives, and he would go wherever they went.

It's a pity that the boy, his mother, was left alone in a strange land.

Hey, I don't want to think about it anymore, he will take Junmei and Ajian alone, and with the Xu family, life will get better and better.

When the time comes, they will come back to meet their mother.

Wang Dayou didn't think about it any more, and while he was on his way, he listened to the conversation of Xu Yue's family in the car.

Xu Da said: "Didn't my cousin's grandfather's family move away? I heard that he married his only daughter, my cousin's aunt, into the Gongsun family of Youzhou."

"This Gongsun family is a dignified and powerful family. Some people are high officials in the court. The prefects of several counties in Youzhou are all from the Gongsun family. It took a lot of hard work for our cousin to be able to climb up to this family. .”

"We still have such a powerful relative?" Xu Yue couldn't believe it.

In the same family, the grandpa's family achieved a class jump directly, or jumped several levels in a row. Why did their family get mixed up like this?

The Wang family and Xu Erniang also didn't believe it. In this kind of powerful family atmosphere, only seeing the feudal era from which they were born, how hard did the Youzhou Gongsun family risk being rejected by other aristocratic families to marry a commoner merchant woman?
"Could it be that this aunt looks like a fairy? She is so beautiful?" Xu Erniang asked foxy.

That was the only reason she could think of.

Men, when they see a beauty, they always have to lower their wits, or they might just be dazzled by the beauty.

Facing the disbelieving eyes of his family members, Xu Da coughed a few times unnaturally, "Ahem, what, she is a stepmother."

Xu Yue and the others suddenly realized that it was indeed possible to be the stepmother.

But this is not enough, the stepmother of the aristocratic family will also choose the aristocratic family, at most from the first daughter to the concubine daughter.

If it is a big family like the Gongsun family, the second marriage can also choose the first daughter.

Xu Da added in embarrassment: "It's the bastard of the collateral line."

Everyone fell silent.

The collateral son of a big family, ordinary people have worked hard to be a successor, this society is really realistic enough.

But being able to get the blessing of a big family, in this troubled world, is already a good marriage that many people can't even ask for.

Xu Yue asked: "Where is our cousin in Youzhou?"

Xu Da carefully recalled the vague memory left by the original body, and said uncertainly:
"It should be Yuyang County, because when my father was still there 15 years ago, I received a letter from my cousin aunt from Yuyang County, saying that my grandfather was gone and invited my father to the funeral. "

"Unfortunately, they didn't say that they would bring some travel expenses along the way. My father was so poor that he couldn't afford the travel expenses at all, so he didn't go. I don't know if your cousin will hate us."

Speaking of this, Xu Da who had just enthusiastically said that he was going to join his relatives suddenly lost his confidence.

The ancients paid much attention to rituals, and they were still funerals.

The cousin grandma is also the only daughter, and they are the only relatives left in the whole natal family.

Think about it in another way, you sent someone a long way away to send a message to your father's only remaining relative to come to the funeral, but when your father is buried, this group of relatives has not come yet, do you think they are too heartless?
Xu Yue could only pat Dad on the shoulder with a wry smile, and comforted her:

"Perhaps my cousin grandma didn't expect our family to be like this. She can't even afford the travel expenses for the funeral. When the time comes, let's talk to her. She should understand, right?"

Xu Da took his daughter's comforting hand, and said quietly: "With the lifespan of us people now, it's hard to say whether your cousin grandma can still live."

Xu Dalang calculated with his fingers seriously, "She is at least 40 years old, and the average life expectancy here is less than 30..."

Xu Yue: "."

Everyone in the Wang family: "."

Xu Da, who is 29 in real age and 30 in false age, looks up at the sky, hoping that God will not count him into this average.

But all joking aside, the fact is that their family has no better choice than going to that desperate cousin.

It has been more than half a year since the family of five traveled to the present, and they have also deeply experienced the horror of not having a foundation in this era.

You don't have a family, and you don't have a few relatives. In this era, you are like a child who can be bullied by anyone.

Because bullying such a single family is not afraid of being retaliated at all, and there is no need to worry about various forces and connections behind them.

Just imagine, if their family really had a relative in Hejian County, would the eunuch still be like this now, casually doubting their origins, and directly chop you off if they were upset?
Obviously not!

Even if they still want to kill them, at least they won't be so blatant, so why don't they delay a few days to do background checks, and make sure they are really small people before they do it.

"Then shall we go to Youzhou?" Wang Dayou stopped at a fork in the road and asked uncertainly.

Xu Da looked at Wang Shi, and Wang Shi looked at Xu Yue's three brothers and sisters, and the family of five nodded in unison.

Wang Dayou expressed his understanding, raised his whip, and prepared to go northward.

"Wait!" Xu Da suddenly stopped.

Xu Dalang's heart tightened subconsciously, he listened carefully, and then frowned suspiciously.

There was no pursuer to catch up. There was no one in the wilderness, only animals running in the woods.

Xu Da ignored Daer's conditioned reflex, and after pondering for a moment, he said:

"Let's take the water route and head east to Bohai County."

Even if the pursuers haven't caught up yet, as long as he is still in Hejian County and passing through Hejian County, he will feel uncomfortable.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang recalled the geography of Jizhou that she had inquired about from the city earlier, and tentatively asked:
"You want to take the sea route from Bohai County and take a boat, bypassing Jizhou directly to Yuyang County?"

Xu Da nodded, that's what he meant.

The husband and wife looked at each other and reached an agreement, but they still had to look at the opinions of the children, especially Xu Yue, who seemed to understand this era better than them.

Xu Yue frowned. There was nothing wrong with traveling by sea, but she was a little worried whether ships of this era could cross the sea?
