Chapter 284 Aunt Qian’s family
Jinzhou Prefecture is very lively today.

The streets and alleys are full of people, and this situation is almost the same as during the Chinese New Year.

"God, this Jinzhou Prefecture is really lively! It's even more lively than Bianjing City! No wonder people say that Jinzhou Prefecture is full of gold. There are so many people, but all their money is in vain!"

"Oh my god, there are actually female soldiers in Jinzhou Prefecture! This... she is wearing too little. Look at that person, her arms are exposed~"

Even in the bustling Jinzhou Mansion, this person's voice was loud, which aroused the side glances of passers-by.

It turned out to be a few outsiders carrying baggage, pointing and pointing all the way, as if they were entering a large manor like Grandma Liu, and felt strange everywhere.

It's just that there are so many people from outside Jinzhou Prefecture now, and the locals in Jinzhou Prefecture have long been used to it. In addition, Xu Zhenying has always emphasized the need to be warm and friendly to outsiders, so the locals in Jinzhou Prefecture are particularly tolerant of outsiders.

After all, the visitor is a guest.

What's more, my home is so nice, so people who come to visit can't be more enthusiastic.

So someone immediately followed their words and said: "In the past few days, Jinzhou Prefecture is taking the civil service examination. Oh, it's the imperial examination that you called the imperial examination in the Zhou Dynasty, so there are more people here. But there are also many people on weekdays. , I see some of them are carrying luggage, are they from other places?”

"Hey! We are from Bianjing. We heard that there is good tea in Qianzhou Prefecture. We want to do some tea business. We happen to be passing by Jinzhou Prefecture, so we have a look around!"

"Qianzhou tea, we have wholesalers in Jinzhou. By the way, there is also a special tea street, you might as well go there and have a look."

Uncle Qian quickly thanked the person who spoke to her, and then turned around and told Mrs. Qian about a tea street.

Mrs. Qian was not very interested.

Since Qian Zhenniang left, although they swallowed the thousands of taels of silver notes left by Qian Zhenniang's parents, they lived a prosperous life for a few days. But later on, I don’t know why, but my life was getting worse day by day.

Business has been hard to do in the past few years. There are wars everywhere. Excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. In addition to paying filial piety to the superiors, I can't make much money throughout the year.

However, there was good news. After a trip to the southwest, she sold soap and tea again. Seeing her old friend become rich, Mrs. Qian's eyes were red with jealousy.

So, she personally forced Master Qian to come out.

If Master Qian hadn't almost brought back a vixen when he went out last time, she wouldn't have wanted to follow Master Qian on the long journey to Qianzhou!
How poor is Qianzhou! Not only that place is full of natives, but it is also said to be the territory of the green-headed thief!
It's just that wealth can only be found in danger.

Besides, rumors are just rumors after all. You have to see it for yourself before deciding what this place is like.

Mrs. Qian said that this Jinzhou Prefecture is much more lively than Bianjing City. She said that the soap, pencils, cement roads and other things were all things that were unheard of and unseen in Bianjing City!
Everyone here looks strong and tall, and it seems like they are living a good life.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. It turned out that someone had posted a notice.

The Qian family could only follow the crowd and heard someone talking about the subsidies for the westward migration of the population on the notice. Mrs. Qian was not interested, but she saw a familiar figure!

She turned pale with shock and hurriedly pulled Master Qian's sleeve: "Master, look quickly! Does the person who posted the notice look like that damn girl Feng'er?!"

"You are presbyopic!" Mr. Qian cursed, but glanced at it casually, and then shouted "Ah"!
Mrs. Qian immediately said: "Really? Like her, right? Look at that nose and eyes, they look exactly like that Feng'er!"

"Oh my god, is she... is she... a thief?"

"Oh my god, why is she with the soldiers from Jinzhou Prefecture?"

"She is in Jinzhou, where is Qian Zhenniang?"

"Is it possible that she left Qian Zhenniang and became a runaway slave?"

Unfortunately, Feng'er was surrounded by a group of soldiers. They stood outside the crowd and only saw her face from a distance. Then she was surrounded by a group of people and left.

Mr. Qian immediately grabbed the person next to him and said, "Brother, I'm from out of town. I want to ask, who is the female general who posted the bulletin board just now?"

"Female general?"

"It's the one with short hair and blue clothes!"

"Hey, that's not a female general! That's Minister Xu of the Ministry of Commerce!"

"Minister?" Mrs. Qian's eyelids twitched, "What minister? Are you now an official?"

"No, why is her last name Xu?"

The man saw that they seemed to be outsiders, so he was a little more patient, "Are they from outside the country? Our minister of Jinzhou Prefecture is equivalent to the minister of your Zhou Dynasty! Miss Feng'er is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, and she is just a changer." In this place, all the business money in the eight prefectures of Jinzhou has to go through her hands, she is the resounding God of Wealth!"

"Ah!" Mrs. Qian was startled and almost fainted, "Oh my God, Minister! That girl? She...she...she used to be a slave of our family!"

Mr. Qian quickly scolded his wife, and then asked with a smile on his face: "Then I dare to ask if there is anyone named Qian Zhenniang in Jinzhou Mansion?"

When he mentioned Qian Zhenniang, Mr. Qian noticed that the face of the person opposite him changed obviously, "Who are you?! Why are you asking about the situation in our Jinzhou Mansion!"

"Ouch! That Qian Zhenniang is my niece! We passed by Jinzhou Prefecture for business, and we didn't know she was here before! No, I just saw Feng'er. That Feng'er turned out to be our Zhenniang's girl, so I thought Maybe my niece is there too!"

Mrs. Qian explained her family's situation clearly and clearly, causing Mr. Qian on the other side to stare at her, as if he was complaining about her lack of words.

The man's expression became warm upon hearing this, "Ah, so he is Minister Qian's uncle?"

Mr. Qian has been doing business for many years and is naturally a good person. Looking at this man's face now, he knows that Qian Zhenniang is indeed in Jinzhou Mansion, and his position must be not low, otherwise this man would not become obsessed with Qian Zhenniang's name. So passionate.

There was no time to think about anything else. Mr. Qian just wanted to find out the news as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Mrs. Qian had already explained her situation clearly. He could only follow Mrs. Qian's words and said: "Yes, I just don't know what my niece's situation is yet." , Could you please tell me something?"

"Brother Qian, you don't have to be polite! In this case, it's better to meet by chance than to invite him. Meeting Brother Qian here is also fate. Why don't you let me be the host? Let's go to Tianxian Pavilion and set up a table. How about I send someone to find Minister Qian?"

Mrs. Qian immediately said happily: "That's great!"

Mr. Qian couldn't see that the other party wanted to follow the dragon and the phoenix, but since he was new here, he was naturally curious about Qian Zhenniang's current situation, so he could only agree to it.

In the evening, Mr. Qian was drunk and was helped back to the inn by Mrs. Qian.

Mrs. Qian was filled with emotion: "Your niece is so prosperous now that she has become the right-hand man of the city lord. I heard that Brother Liu just now said that if Xu Zhenying wants to be king, then Zhenniang will become a high official! I Oh my god, why didn’t I realize that girl had such a good life back then?”

Ever since Mr. Qian found out that Qian Zhenniang and Feng'er had become high-ranking officials in Jinzhou Prefecture, he couldn't look at his wife anymore.

It's all this woman's fault. If she hadn't encouraged her and turned a deaf ear to her, how could he have ignored Qian Zhenniang?

Now that Qian Zhenniang has such a bright future, and Feng'er is in charge of the commercial department, the two of them can just sprinkle rain between their fingers, and I'm afraid it will be enough for them to live on for a lifetime.

"It's all your fault, woman! If it weren't for you, how could I have misappropriated my sister's thousands of taels of silver! Now that Zhen Niang is in such a high and powerful position, how can we have the face to try to get rich?!"

"Oh, my lord, Qian Zhenniang doesn't even know how much money her mother left for her. As long as we don't tell her, how will she know?" Mrs. Qian felt a little guilty, but after all, she had gained such a big relationship. Naturally, she refused to give up easily, "Besides, we didn't treat her harshly before. If you want to blame her, it's her own bad luck that hindered our business. We didn't kick her out, and we even found her a job like this." The marriage is worthy of her! Don’t think about it. If it weren’t for us, how could she have a relationship with the Xu family? It would be even less possible for her to rebel with Xu Zhenying! After all, we are responsible for her today’s prosperity. Woolen cloth!"

When Mr. Qian heard this, he immediately started to waver.

"Master, even if we didn't treat her very well before, we are her elders after all. That child has a soft ear and will listen to you the most. When the time comes, we will just say a few soft words. If she refuses to forgive, Let's, that's better, since the barefoot ones are not afraid of wearing shoes, let's make a fuss to see who is more embarrassed! Don't forget, she is an official now, so she is embarrassed! Even if she doesn't like us, isn't it? Will you give us some benefits in order to stop others from talking about Youyou? "

Mr. Qian seemed to think that this was a bit excessive, but when he thought about Brother Liu saying that Qian Zhenniang's future was limitless and that it would be impossible for her to become a prince or prime minister in the future, he wanted to maintain this relationship no matter what.

"But in the end we forced her to accompany the Xu family in exile." "So what, not to mention that she and Xu Huijia were an engaged couple, so it was only natural for her to accompany them to exile. What's more, She didn't object at that time. If you're afraid that she'll be upset, just blame it on me."

Mr. Qian was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "That's right. When the time comes, I'll say it was you who instigated it, and you forced me to do it. She is afraid of you anyway, so let me talk to her about this matter. There may be room for change.”

Mrs. Qian fell down in anger, and then she could only hold her nose and admit, "Then I will be the bad guy."

Early the next morning, the two of them followed the address given by Brother Liu to Qian Zhenniang's residence.

Xu Zhenying's men didn't like to use servants, and the residences of important officials were all gathered together. They were patrolled from time to time, so it was safe.

When you reach Qian Zhenniang's level, you will naturally be allocated an independent courtyard.

She comes from a girl's family. Although she is busy with government affairs, she has always been diligent. So there was only an old widow and her daughter who had nowhere to go.

The two of them had nowhere to go and lived in a side room of Qian Zhen's family.

The mother and daughter occasionally go out to work, and of course they also help Qian Zhenniang with some housework and do small things like sewing and mending. They also allow Qian Zhenniang to have a bowl of hot soup and rice when she comes home late occasionally.

Qian Zhenniang liked the fact that the mother and daughter were quiet and loyal, and they didn't like to make trouble, so she let them take care of the house without any worries.

No, today the old widow was just cleaning the yard when she heard footsteps, and then someone kicked in the door outside.

This movement is not small.

The old widow thought that everyone in Jinzhou Mansion knew that the high-ranking officials of Jinzhou Mansion lived in this area. Everyone held their breaths when passing by this alley. She had never met such arrogant people before.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw more than a dozen people standing outside, both men and women, all of them aggressive.

The leader was a somewhat plump middle-aged woman. As soon as she entered the house, she looked at the old widow up and down, "Is this Qian Zhenniang's home?"

The old widow replied: "Yes, it is Minister Qian's home."

"We are her uncle and aunt in Bianjing City. We came to Jinzhou Mansion specifically to see her."

The old widow was stunned, a little unsure of the identity of the visitor.

Uncle and aunt?

Why haven't you heard Minister Qian mention it?
In just a short while, the dozen or so people came uninvited, entered the room directly, and sat down in groups.

Qian Zhenniang's yard was not big, but it was full at once.

The leading woman looked around as soon as she entered the house, and even rummaged through Qian Zhenniang's boudoir, causing a lot of noise.

The old widow suddenly felt something bad, and quickly ordered her daughter to go out to report the news, while she stepped forward to serve her, "Madam, Minister Qian pays attention to privacy, and there is a lot of confidential information in this room, so you'd better not look around. "

Mrs. Qian was immediately angered and said in a sharp voice: "You old naughty slave, I am Qian Zhenniang's aunt! She came to my house when she was ten years old. She eats and lives in my house. I even arranged the marriage for her. ! She serves me like she’s her mother, who do you think you are to teach me how to do things?”

The old widow's face turned red after being scolded, and she felt aggrieved, but she still refused to give in: "It's better to ask Minister Qian to come back and talk about it. This thing is lost, and Minister Qian is looking for me!"

"Old Shacai, I've betrayed you! Since you keep claiming to call my niece Minister Qian, you know how big an official my niece is now! If you, a naughty slave, disrespect me, then you are disrespecting my niece! Come on, my niece You're young and talkative, but I, as an aunt, can't tolerate it! Come on, give this old naughty slave a good beating!"

The old widow didn't expect that there would be such an arrogant person in Jinzhou Prefecture. She cried out in aggrievedness, "I'm not a slave of Minister Qian's family! I didn't sell myself to her! I just have nowhere to go. Help Minister Qian is just doing some housework! This is just an employment relationship in Jinzhou Prefecture!”

"Oh, it turns out you're staying at my niece's house! I thought you were a slave and a bully, but unexpectedly you turned out to be a poor widow! I've seen people like you a lot. You're just bullying my niece's face and soft heart. That’s easy to talk about! Now that I’m here in Jinzhou Mansion, Qian Zhenniang has a family, and I won’t tolerate you bullying her like this! Pack your bags and get out of this house, or I’ll report you to the police! You broke into a house to steal!"

"You! You! That's too much!"

Over there, Qian Zhenniang was still in the office of the Propaganda Department of the government office. She was discussing with Feng'er and Xu Huiming about placing secret sentries in Bianjing City. Unexpectedly, the little girl at home staggered around and said that she was coming home as soon as she entered the house. He married a man named Qian who claimed to be Qian Zhenniang’s uncle and aunt.

Qian Zhenniang and Feng'er looked at each other, and then they couldn't hide their surprise.

Uncle and aunt?

Feng'er patted her head: "Oh my god! Could it be that those two bastard men and women from Bianjing City came here?"

Although it was really inappropriate to call Qian Zhenniang's uncle and aunt a bitch, Feng'er was so excited that she didn't pay attention and actually yelled out like this.

It was Xu Huiming who glared at her secretly as a reminder.

However, Feng'er was not afraid of the thieves, and then sneered, "Hey, they came at a good time. They had almost forgotten those things before, but they came up on their own. No wonder I am cruel."

Qian Zhenniang was in a daze.

Are your uncle and aunt here?

Afraid that if the news of Xu Zhenying becoming king spreads far and wide, Qian Zhenniang's name will also catch their eyes?
Qian Zhenniang has not forgotten how she was kicked out by them in the first place.

Thinking about it now, it feels a little like a world away.

"Sister Zhenniang!" Feng'er tugged at her sleeves, and then became worried, "Don't tell me that you feel sorry for them? I can tell you that since they have come to the door, they are naturally prepared. Don’t even think about running away without scraping off a layer of your skin!”

Qian Zhenniang smiled bitterly, "I just haven't figured out how to face them yet."

"I think it's a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. We suffered so much from them before. They asked us to do laundry in winter and fan his son in summer. I also had to let her stupid eight-year-old son be a horse. Riding! You have forgotten these things, Zhenniang, but I have not!”

Qian Zhenniang suddenly realized.

She seemed to realize at this moment that it was not only herself who had been bullied in the Qian family, but also Feng'er who was implicated by her side.

Feng'er is even more innocent.

Just because she had such a cowardly master, she was now in a position where everyone could be bullied.

She could forgive her uncle and aunt on her own behalf only because of her blood relationship. And it's because my mother only has this one brother.

But what about Feng'er?

She was almost betrothed to that poor boy!

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to swallow this breath no matter what.

Qian Zhenniang was also a little undecided, but looking at Feng'er's slightly disappointed eyes, Qian Zhenniang suddenly felt ashamed and panicked.

Fortunately, she had followed the city lord for so long, but she showed her timidity at the critical moment. She had not learned the city lord's decisiveness in killing at all.

After thinking about it, Qian Zhenniang said to Feng'er: "I will listen to you how to arrange it!"

Feng'er's face softened slightly and she whispered a few words to her. Qian Zhenniang frowned slightly, but in the end she didn't say anything. She acquiesced, "Okay, let's call Brother Zhao over."

"No, Brother Da Zhuang has just left the examination room. I'm afraid he is correcting the answers. Let Brother Daniu go. He happens to be here today to accompany Brother Zhao in the exam."
