Mu Huagui

Chapter 75 Uncle
"I'm not someone else." After speaking, he glanced at the middle-aged scholar who went to the house to look for tea, but the second hand was empty.The scholar smiled awkwardly, and said to Xiaobao, "Miss gave it to you, you can follow it."

Xiaobao smiled at Mimi with a small face, carefully took the oiled paper bag and opened it, took out one, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.I took another one and put it in my father's mouth. "It's delicious, and Daddy will eat it too."

The middle-aged scholar said to Xiao Bao gently, "Daddy is not hungry, Xiao Bao eats."

"Then Xiaobao will keep it until he is hungry." Reluctantly, Xiaobao wrapped the preserved fruit in oiled paper again, stuffed it into his arms and put it away.

"The child is ignorant, and the lady laughed." The middle-aged scholar smiled at Chen Jiao'er with some embarrassment.

"No, Xiaobao is very sensible, I like him very much." Chen Jiao'er held Xiaobao's hand and hugged him beside her.Xiao Bao's soft body leaned obediently in Chen Jiao'er's arms.

The boiled water was soaked in tea brought from cherries, and the middle-aged scholar called Xiao Baoniang to come out to entertain guests.Sipping tea, Chen Jiao'er asked, "We first came to Qing Dynasty, and we are not familiar with the place, so I asked the two of you for a place."

"Miss, go ahead and say that our ancestors of the Qi family lived here. I dare not say anything else. I have traveled all over the ten miles and eight villages, and I know them very well."

"The person I'm looking for is named Chen. Chen Jun said to Mr. Chen. He used to be an official of the imperial court. He passed away in an accident after returning to his hometown. We want to find out where the graves of him and his wife are." Chen Jiaoer stared at the scholar surnamed Qi, feeling a little excited .

The scholar really changed his face, "You, if you ask what they do, they are all people who have passed away."

"Oh." Chen Jiao'er sighed, "I was entrusted by someone to pay homage to my old friend's parents."

"You're talking nonsense. They only have one daughter, who died ten years ago. How could she be your old friend? Did Yuejiashan send you here? Feel free to use any tricks. The lives of the three of us are here. It's a big deal for us. I will never accept your conditions even if I crashed my head to death at the gate of the county government office."

"We came from the capital city. The murderers Lin Da and his wife who murdered Chen Jiao'er, the daughter of the Chen family, were beheaded at Caishikou half a month ago. Lin Zhicong was sentenced to exile for three thousand miles." Chen Jiao'er became more and more sure of what she thought, and said slowly.

The scholar surnamed Qi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly hugged his wife, "Yuer, did you hear that? Take revenge for Jiaojiao."

"Jiaojiao, my Jiaojiao, poor, she is only eight years old, if she lives till now, we, I..." The couple hugged their heads and cried loudly.

Chen Jiao'er also had tears in her eyelashes, and when they had cried enough, she secretly wiped away her own tears.

The scholar surnamed Qi had cried enough, and then remembered that there were other people in the yard, and hurriedly wiped his tears with his cuffs that had been patched several times.He choked up and said, "We were too excited at the moment, don't blame the lady, I hope the lady will tell you the details."

"Who are you?" Chen Jiao'er asked deliberately.

"I am Master Chen's brother-in-law, and Jiaojiao is my poor niece." The scholar surnamed Qi sat on a wooden stake, and the only bench in the house was sitting under Chen Jiaoer.

"Ah, so it's Master Qi, but..." Chen Jiao'er suppressed the excitement in her heart, and it really was her uncle. She remembered that it was her uncle who loved her the most when she was a child.

When I went to the capital, my uncle also said that if you don't like the capital, you can write to your uncle, and your uncle will definitely pick her up.

But how did her uncle's family end up in such a miserable state? She couldn't believe it. Even if the family was a merchant in Linqing for hundreds of years, no matter how prodigal they were, they wouldn't be so defeated.

"Quickly tell me how the Lin family subdued the law. I went to the capital several times in the past to ask the Chen family for an explanation, but they were all kicked out by the Chen family. Hmph. If this matter has nothing to do with them, I will I don't believe it."

"It's already noon, why don't Cherry and I cook first, and the young lady and the master of the Qi family will chat while eating." Aunt Su saw that it was past noon, so she simply asked the young lady for instructions, unloaded the food from the carriage, and asked Su Dazhuang to go nearby Go back to the market to buy some vegetables.

The whole meal was full of meaty aroma. The Qi family hadn't touched meat for a long time, and when they smelled the aroma, their stomachs growled.

"Eat first, after eating, let's talk slowly."

"Da Zhuang, move the table out, Mrs. Chen, you don't need it, as long as we are here." Aunt Su's hands and feet were quick, and with Cherry's assistance, she quickly prepared a table of rich meals.

Chen Jiao'er kept carrying vegetables for Xiao Bao, seeing him devouring the food deliciously, the grief in his heart was much less.

Facing her uncle who really cared about her, Chen Jiao'er couldn't bear to hide it, so she told him the story carefully.It's just about why I avenged myself in the previous life, I just mentioned it in one stroke, and only said that I had accepted her love.

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, it turns out that Jiaojiao has been suffering all this time, she must be waiting for her uncle to come to save her, I should die, I should die, I know that there is something wrong with Lin, why did I let him take away Jiaojiao?" There was another burst of sobbing, Qi Luoshu's spirit was always in a state of excitement, and finally couldn't take it anymore, and passed out.

Everyone rushed to put him on the bed, but found that there was not even a decent quilt, so they could only let him lie like this.Su Dazhuang invited the doctor to come over, took his pulse and left a prescription. He only said that he was sick from years of fatigue and his foundation was already weak, and he couldn't bear the stimulation.Long-term warming is needed to gradually improve.

The wife of the Qi family was worried with the prescription, but Chen Jiao'er took it over and said softly, "I have the same name and surname as Chen Jiao'er, and we have such a relationship. Her relatives are also my relatives. Don't worry, the days will gradually get better in the future. After finishing speaking, he handed the prescription to Su Dazhuang, and asked him to grab the medicine when he sent the doctor back.

"They will take care of you, don't worry, let's sit down and talk." Xiaobao was coaxed to sleep by the cherry after eating, Aunt Su guarded Qi Luoshu, and Chen Jiaoer took her aunt to sit in the yard. She wanted to know, all these years What happened to make the original rich family look like this.

Ten years ago, as soon as Chen Jiao'er had an accident, the patriarch took back the Chen family mansion, and Chen Jiao'er's mother's dowry was taken back by her natal family according to the rules.

Qi Luoshu has always refused to believe that the death of his niece was caused by thieves, so he went to Beijing to make trouble with the Chen family several times, asking them to hand over Lin Da for punishment.The first time I met the old man of the Chen family, he was very reasonable and said that he would give them an explanation.

But the old man of the Chen family passed away suddenly, and Chen Luoshu didn't want to bother him at this time.But as soon as the funeral was over, the Chen family unexpectedly expelled Lin Da. When Qi Luoshu came to the door again, the elder of the Chen family was very domineering and directly drove him away.

Later, he was not even allowed to enter the house.After Qi Luoshu returned to Linqing, he found out that the Chen family mansion had been sold by the Chen family.

Originally, this was a matter of the Chen family, and it was not easy for outsiders to intervene.But the Chen family found Qi Luoshu again and wanted to buy back the Chen family's dowry, but of course Qi Luoshu would not give it.This is a thought left by my sister. They are not short of money, so how could they sell it.

Unexpectedly, the nightmare began, and the Qi family's business continued to have problems.In a lawsuit with others, it is clear that there are all witnesses and material evidence, but in the end he was sentenced to lose.

After doing this a few times, his vitality was seriously injured, and someone came to buy Qi's dowry.Only then did they understand the reason for everything, and the person behind it was Yue Jiashan.

"Who is Yuejiashan?" Chen Jiaoer asked.

"It's a country gentry who has become an official. He used to be an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now he has a nephew in the Ministry of War." Although Zhou Huayu was a married woman, merchants always choose their wives to be shrewd and capable.During the speech, the order was clear, and there was no submissiveness of women.

The more Qi Luoshu thought about it, the more he felt that there was some secret in the dowry, maybe it was related to the death of his sister's family, so he refused to hand it over no matter what, and simply found a place to hide it.

"Dowry is dead, but people are alive. How can you make yourself suffer so much for mere possessions outside your body, not to mention adults, but also little treasures." Chen Jiao'er was moved and angry at the same time.

"Well, I'm a woman who doesn't understand the big things outside. Anyway, I will do what my husband says." Zhou Huayu knew that this Miss Chen was thinking of them. Looking at Xiaobao, she didn't think of persuading her husband.

But when she thought of her husband's temper, she stopped thinking about it.In short, no matter what the day is, she is ready to share joys and sorrows with her husband.

"We originally planned to stay in the hotel, but we happened to meet you. If it's convenient, can you rent us a room, and we will pay for it." It seems that you can't leave in two or three days, but you can do other things Regardless, she must take care of uncle's affairs.

"What do you mean the money is not? There are rooms, but they are too simple." Zhou Huayu glanced at his house in embarrassment. There was not even a decent piece of furniture in the extra room, so how could people live there.

"It's okay, we'll figure it out on our own. Uncle Su came back with the medicine, and I'll help you get up." Seeing Su Dazhuang walking in with the medicine, Chen Jiaoer said.

Qi Luoshu woke up quickly, drank the medicine and fell back into a deep sleep.Aunt Su saw that the young lady was moving here to live with her, so she took the wife of the Qi family with her, and Su Dazhuang drove the car to the market to buy some daily necessities.

In one afternoon, everything was ready.Going back and forth several times, many people who came out of the neighbors were surprised, since the old man of the Qi family has fallen into poverty, and has no relatives, why is it so lively today.

Knowing that there were distant relatives who came to borrow the house, many enthusiastic people came to help clean up the house and carry Su Dazhuang's belongings.

Xiaobao woke up early, followed behind, running around happily.In his short memory, there were never so many people coming to his house during the Chinese New Year.

After the resettlement was completed, Aunt Su invited the neighbors who had helped out to have dinner together. There was meat and vegetables on the table, and enough white rice. Su Dazhuang also made two catties of sorghum wine to cheer up.It made those who didn't come to help jealous for a while.

After drinking, some outspoken people couldn't hold back their words, and they kept saying that the Qi family was wronged. This situation was completely the result of the Yue family's collusion with the county government master.

Chen Jiao'er was listening, carefully jotting down what she found useful.She must help her uncle get this account back.
