Hearing Xue Er mention the words 'General Sikong', the thin man immediately 'booed' at Xue Er a few times, and then said with a big tongue: "Brother, it's taboo to mention the words 'General Sikong' now."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Seeing Xue Er's expression of not knowing anything, the fat man asked strangely: "This matter is so big, you actually don't know anything at all?" ”

Xue Er scratched his head in embarrassment, and replied a little uncomfortably: "Isn't this a family that just came from the countryside, so I don't know anything?"

Hearing Xue Er's explanation, the two men nodded knowingly.

The fat man moved the stool to Xue Er's side, and then lowered his head and whispered to him: "A while ago, the imperial court issued an announcement saying that General Sikong had committed treason. ”

Seeing that his companion stopped at this point, the other continued: "It is said that it is treason, but General Sikong is sixty or seventy years old, at this age, what kind of country does he sentence?" And I heard that he was a veteran of the Three Kingdoms, but he followed Emperor Taizu to defeat the country back then, how could such a person be treasonous?"

Hearing the other party say this, Xue Er looked at him suspiciously, and asked: "This treason is a big crime, even if it is the imperial court, you can't say that people are treason if they are treasonous."

"Yo, you kid knows a lot" The fat man smiled and patted Xue Er's shoulder, praised it a few times, and then said, "This evidence, of course you have to have it." The proclamation issued by the imperial court said yes, what is it, oh, it seems that it has been prepared again since four years ago. Four years ago, didn't the imperial court ask our people to pay more taxes and pay more grain? It seems that the people of the Sikong family used their power to store grain for them to raise troops."

"And that's not all. I heard that the imperial court also said that when the house was raided, it was still from the house of the Sikong family. I found a lot of letters in contact with the barbarians, and these are all incriminating evidence."

"Actually, when the court says this, isn't it just to see that the people are empty and the family is high, and that's what you want."

Before the fat man finished speaking, he was covered by his companion and scolded: "Don't kill you, dare to say such a rebellious thing"

The whispered scolding also made the fat man sober up a little. I poured some herbal tea from the side and poured it up.

Seeing their situation, Xue Er felt that there was nothing to ask. As soon as he wanted to leave, he heard another person say to him: "Actually, he knows that he is a fart, and he is also a good master, and he wants me to say, it is the queen's old goblin who wants to seize the power of the world."

Come on, this person is even worse than the one just now, and even the queen scolded him. However, his words aroused Xue Er's curiosity.

Leaning over to this man, Xue Er asked curiously, "What do you say?" ”

The man's eyes were red. After looking left and right, he saw that no one was looking at this side, so he whispered: "Didn't you see these officers and soldiers arresting bandits and robbers recently?" It is said that it is a bandit and robber, and the son of a relative of my second uncle's nephew's aunt works as a small servant in the family of a big official in the capital. Listening to him, the imperial court said on the surface that it wanted to arrest bandits and robbers, but in fact, it was the henchmen of Sikong's faction that were arrested, and which faction was General Sikong's faction. It was from the emperor's faction. And do you know who ordered the arrest? Listen to the son of a relative of my second uncle's nephew's aunt, it was ordered by the queen, you can tell me. Dirty things here. And not only that, but now many local officials have been replaced, even some small places like county towns have not been let go, isn't this to seize power? ”

After drinking, the two men no longer knew what they were talking about. Xue Er saw that he could no longer get anything out of these two people, so he quietly returned to his table.

"Well, I heard all the questions I just asked."

After listening to Xue Er's words, Wen Qing'an stared at the desktop for a long time before he said faintly: "They just said that there are many officials who have been replaced, right?"

Being asked by Wen Qing'an like this, Xue Er was a little confused by the second monk. After asking hard for a long time, the eldest brother only remembered the last sentence.

After Xue Er was stunned and responded to Wen Qing'an's words, he saw him turn his head to Wen and said, "They said that many officials have been replaced, so do you think I will be sent to which one?" ”

Hearing Wen Qing'an say this, everyone was stunned at first, and then understood the meaning of his words.

Wen Qing'an is a man with merit and fame, as long as he is appointed by the imperial court, he can be an official.

Wen Qing'an looked at the expectant expression of the whole family, and added uncomfortably: "Don't expect too much, I'm just guessing, whether it's true or not."

"Then you wait for a while to finish eating, and I will accompany you to the yamen to ask" Hearing Xue Er say this, Wen Qing'an had no choice but to nod and respond.

Then everyone in the family finished the meal with apprehension.

As soon as lunch was over, Wen Qing'an came out of the inn with Xue Er under the attentive eyes of everyone.

About an hour later, Wen Qing'an and Xue Er returned to the inn under everyone's expectations. As soon as he entered the house, Wen greeted him and asked eagerly, "How is it?" What do you think? ”

Before Wen Qing'an could answer, Xue Er jumped out from the side and shouted at the people in the room with an excited face: "Really, really." Brother Wen was sent to Yongli County to be a county official,"

Hearing Xue Er say this, the brothers and sisters all ran to Wen Qing'an's side, shouting and hugging him: "Great, dad is an official, dad is an official"

Wen Qing'an looked down at his son and daughter beside his legs, but his heart was both happy and sour.

"Then we're going to go to where you're going to work?"

When Wen mentioned this issue, Wen Qing'an, who was carried away by happiness, remembered something.

Turning his head to look at Xue Er next to him, Zhengse said, "Just like your sister-in-law said, because of the current situation, we can't go back to the village." Lang Zhong won't continue to look for it for the time being, so ,......, so you don't have to follow us. Tomorrow, let's go home."

Go home. This word hadn't appeared in Xue Er's mind for a long time.

So when Wen Qing'an mentioned the word 'go home', Xue Er's first reaction was to go to work with Wen Qing'an. But the next moment he reacted, Wen Qing'an's 'homecoming' here was to let him go back to his home, the home where his mother, his brother, sister-in-law, and niece lived.

Just because he can think like this doesn't mean he doesn't miss home. It's just that after four years of companionship, he has regarded these people in front of him as real family.

Wen Qing'an saw that after he finished speaking, Xue Er just stood there and looked at him stunned. Only then did he realize that his words would cause people to be ambiguous. Hearing it suddenly will make the other person feel as if they are driving him away.

In order to be afraid that Xue Er would misunderstand him, Wen Qingan explained again and again: "I didn't mean that, the main thing is that you have been with me for four years, and you haven't been home once, if you follow us to the post again this time, I don't know how long Lu Dao will be delayed."

"Brother Wen, I understand what you mean, I know that this is your kindness, so you don't have to explain."

"That's fine, you"

"I think about it"

Xue Er interrupted eagerly, giving others an illusion, and Xue Er, who was at the moment, was particularly afraid of Wen Qingan's persuasion. His reaction was beyond the expectations of everyone in the room.

Wen Qing'an looked at Xue Er suspiciously, and only after a while did he cautiously ask, "Xue Er, you, it's okay?"

Xue Er, who was immersed in his own thoughts, heard Wen Qing'an's question, raised his head and replied in a trance: "What did you just say?"

Seeing Xue Er's appearance, Wen Qing'an shook his head and only said softly: "It's okay, you better go back to the room and think about it."

When Xue Er turned around and went back to the house, Wen Shi looked at Xue Er twice, and said strangely: "What's the matter with him?" ”

Wen Qing'an shrugged his shoulders with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that his father-in-law also looked incomprehensible, Wen no longer continued to dwell on this issue. Instead, he took him by the arm and pressed him to sit on a stool.

After Wen Qing'an sat down, Wen kindly poured him a cup of tea and put it in his hand.

Wen Qing'an looked at the Wen family who was so attentive, raised his eyebrows and teased: "It's really different to be an official, this treatment in front of the lady has immediately risen several grades."

As soon as Wen Qing'an's words came out, Wen An'an and the others immediately covered their mouths and laughed.

In front of the child, being teased by his father-in-law like this, Wen's face instantly turned red. Stretched out his hand and pinched Wen Qing'an in the dark, Wen glared at him: "In front of the child, you are not in shape"

Taking a breath of cool air, Wen Qing'an put on a pitiful expression and looked at Wen An'an and them: "Look at your mother, one sentence will reveal her true form."

Looking at the giggling children, Wen glanced at Wen Qing'an reproachfully.

After everyone finished laughing, Wen Shi said, "I'm going to talk to you about business."

Hearing that Wen was going to talk about business, Wen Qing'an didn't want to continue joking, looked at Wen seriously, and motioned for her to continue.

After receiving Wen Qing'an's signal, Wen explained with a smile: "You just said that the place where you want to go to work is Yongli County."

Seeing that after he finished asking, Wen Qing'an nodded, Wen hesitated for a moment, and continued: "From here to Yongli County, it should be, it should pass by, pass through my brother's house, right?" ”

Wen Qing'an originally thought that Wen would say something special, but she didn't expect her to mention this.

Although they have not had contact with Wen's maiden family for a long time, they are Wen's relatives after all, and if the gap between the two families can be eliminated, this is also what Wen Qing'an is happy to see.

Thinking of this, Wen Qing'an nodded and looked at Wen with a smile: "Okay, anyway, there is still a period of time before my deadline, so I just took advantage of this gap to take the children to meet their uncle and aunt."

Hearing Wen Qing'an say this, Wen shook his hand gratefully and thanked him.

These two words made Wen Qing'an laugh: "Family, what's so funny" (to be continued......)
