The person who came was a middle-aged man who looked to be forty years away and would be fifty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He has white hair on his sideburns, a rickety cane, a face of wind and frost, and a body of wind and dust.

claimed to be surnamed Wang and named Meng Ying, and was Wen Qi's uncle in Wufu.

The stone who came to answer the door was stunned when he heard it.

looked at the furrows on the forehead at the corners of the other party's mouth, and the eyes that looked even older than Father Qin...... Are you really sure it's the clan uncle, not the clan uncle?

In the end, such a thought was just a flash, and he probably knew that such a person existed.

After all, they are now thinking about it in their hearts, and they are pondering it when they sleep at night, and they have to ponder it when they wake up in the middle of the night.

Although I was a little surprised, it seemed that it had only been a few days since Wen Qi's reply was sent, why did this clan uncle come to the door in a hurry?

But looking at the people who came, they were embarrassed, and their faces were haggard, and they still had two good feelings in their hearts.

Respectfully welcome people into the door and take a seat to serve tea.

Tea is hot tea brewed with boiling water.

Wang Mengying looked at the steaming teacup and couldn't help pursing her chapped lips. With only a dry mouth, not to mention no saliva, it is difficult to swallow.

On the same day that he received Wen Qi's urgent reply, he boarded a merchant ship sailing from Jingkou to Chongtang on the pier. The draft on the ship is expensive, he was stuffed with double silver money before he was allowed to board the ship, the second-class cabin he lived in did not include food, these days all rely on a bag of cakes bought before leaving the ship, and then ask the boatman for some clean raw water to survive, has not been able to drink a sip of hot tea for several days, after getting off the ship and against the sun all the way to the door, has already been smoking, how can not be anxious.

Fortunately, the flag gun in the tea cup slowly unfolded, and when it reached the extreme, the tea was slightly cold.

I took a sip and drank it slowly, then took the hot towel and wiped my face.

Removing heat with heat, Wang Mengying suddenly realized the intention of the Qin family's hospitality.

I only felt that the heat of my body and the hard work of the long journey were relieved in an instant, and the whole person's spirit was lifted.

I breathed a long sigh from the bottom of my heart, and then I had time to look at everything unfamiliar in front of me.

Let's start with the façade of the Qin family.

Slowly swept over the spacious hall where he was, and his eyes fell on the gray floor tiles with no joints at all, but he didn't know what the material was. But in just a moment, his gaze had already crossed the black tile and white wall, crossed the horse's head cornice, and landed directly on the closed fortress wall in front of him, which was nearly three zhang high and more than half a zhang thick.

From the perspective of Wang Mengying, who also traveled from south to north, the architectural style of the Qin family in this main hall can be regarded as a mixture of the architectural characteristics of the north and the south.

It's a pity that they didn't pick the strengths of the two places to build.

So that the whole looks like the south is not south, the north is not north, there is no fine in the rough, and there is no show in the soil.

Shabby, rough, and suffocating. If you really want to praise, you can only rely on simplicity and solidity.

Not to mention that it is not as good as the prosperous Chenguang of their Sanhuai Hall, it is this time to take out the ancestral house that has been abandoned in the family for so many years and clean it up a little, and reproduce the door cover and the flower door railing, without stacking the mountains and rivers and sparse flowers and trees, it is already more magnificent than the main hall of the Qin family.

But the fortress wall in front of you, although there is no fine carving, gold painting, the masonry is also very rough, you can't see the slightest rule, but it can bring people shock, but it is incomparable.

Although it was not the first time he had seen such a regulated fortress wall, he lived to be in his early thirties, but only in the vast and sparsely populated northland, those great clans of the past generations would build such a fortress wall with a daughter wall in order to resist foreign enemies. And every time there is trouble, it will be reinforced. Some families have developed to the present day, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are small towns. But in the south of them, such a rich land with every inch of land is valuable, I dare not say that it is unique, but it is definitely an extremely minority.

But after thinking about it again, I somewhat understood the intentions of the Qin family.

He still remembered Chenguang who had just come all the way in an ox cart, and the coachman chatted with him all the way about the Qin family, and when he got on the bridge, he pointed out to him from afar and told him how shocked he was when the fortress wall was the Qin family.

It's just that what makes him remember even more is the attitude of the people of Chongtang towards the Qin family.

As early as Chenguang on the ship, he had already inquired with people, Chongtang is an important commercial town, the flow of people is like weaving, businessmen and tourists gathered, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is brilliant, the town's carriages and sedan cars can not be counted with two hands, and the three major wharves have been carved up by these cars and sedan cars, there are car dealers on the dock to solicit passengers, as long as you are willing to spend, your feet can be done without touching the ground.

Sure enough, before the merchant ship docked, he saw the guins of several car dealers at a glance in the colorful and windy guise on the shore.

After going ashore, I looked again and again and found the largest one.

As soon as he raised his feet and walked in front of him, a very eye-catching man bowed down to greet him, and only when he said his destination, the man's eyes became subtle.

Originally, it was a good thing to bargain, not to mention that he couldn't wait, where did he care about the extra three or five coppers.

No matter how much you save, you won't save on this.

But the guy was obviously busy with his feet not touching the ground, but he was not in a hurry to do business, wiped his sweat, but talked with him: "Uncle, I heard that your accent should be from the east, right?" I don't know what to do to make a living, visiting the Qin family, what is the so-called ......"

And while he was talking, several coachmen and sedan drivers around him heard the movement and surrounded him.

His hair stood on end.

The car and boat shop should be killed if he is not guilty.

These people, not to mention whether they are good people or not, are definitely ruthless people.

After thinking about it, he decided to tell them the truth and tell them that he was here to find someone, and the nephew in the family was saved by the Qin family of Wubentang, and now he is still living in the Qin family.

How did you know that as soon as he said this, the eyes of the crowd suddenly flew wildly, and they outflanked him in the middle quietly.

He didn't know where he said something wrong, and he didn't know if there was something wrong with the Qin family......

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly chuckled.

I regret it.

Knowing this, he shouldn't have rushed to Chongtang in such a hurry, so he had to secretly visit before making plans.

But it's too late to tell.

Zheng's bowels were blue, and he suddenly heard the guy ask him again, is there any evidence to prove that the Qin family really has his nephew.

As soon as he heard this, he didn't think much about the intriguing question that was already asked, and immediately took out the letter he exchanged with Wen Qi, and pointed out the address on it to the guy.

The guy looked at the two envelopes back and forth no less than five times, and although his face was still the same face, the original tentative smile immediately became sincere.

Hurriedly pointed to a coachman who looked quite honest and sent him to Qin's house.

He was a little hesitant.

The guy had already made a confession: "I'm sorry, old man. He also said: "It's really that the hearts of the people in this world are too bad, two years ago, a family of men and women who made traps and singles came to the Qin family to look for relatives, and they almost succeeded......"

Is there such a thing?

Rao is a trap that he has traveled from south to north, and it is rare to see such a trap.

After getting in the car, the coachman told him what had happened, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "The Qin family is a new upstart, I don't know how many people are greedy, and they are thinking that it would be good if they could make a windfall." Although the Qin family is warm-hearted, kind to others, and generous and righteous, they are not stupid, otherwise how could they have today's wealth. He also asked him, "Do you always say?" ”

When he arrived at the land boundary, the coachman watched him enter the gate of the Qin family with his own eyes, and only then did he think about returning.

Although their Sanhuaitang was not a very big family back then, they were not very poor, and they had never been enthusiastic about the warmth and coldness of the people......

Maybe there were, but he didn't know it.

However, I do understand the purpose of the Qin family's construction of the mansion and fortress wall in this way.

It's probably because I'm worried about bandits......

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps, and when he looked up, he saw an old man striding forward.

He stood up in response, and saw that this old man was extremely tall, with a straight waist, and there was no trace of old age, and he was not an easy person to deal with.

He was followed by a middle-aged man who looked to be three or four years old, who looked steady and dutiful, and a young man who was fifteen or sixteen years old......

His gaze was instantly fixed on this young man.

At the same time, Wen Qi's gaze also fell on the thin, old man in front of him, and he couldn't believe that he was the clan uncle in his vague memory.

……

Huajiao didn't expect that after only a few days, someone from Jingkou would come.

She thought that she would have to ask you to come and go back and forth with me to find out the details before agreeing to meet and interview.

After all, these days, travel is really inconvenient. Ordinary people, no longer say that they will go, but they have to work hard to have the courage to go on the road.

Listening to the description of the stone again, it is obvious that the man who is said to be the uncle of the Wenqi clan is not in a very good situation now. Not only may he be financially constrained, but his physical condition is also not optimistic.

But in such a situation, he couldn't wait to rush over.

In Shishi's opinion, this is because he cares about Wen Qi. But in the eyes of peppercorns, it may not be true.

I just don't know what the purpose of his trip is.

However, Hua Jiao soon knew his purpose, and the little stone monk who used to pour tea and water soon found out the news.

Tell Huajiao: "Uncle Wenqi is going to take him back to Jingkou!" ”

Both of them frowned, and Sichuan Pepper also took a long breath, but they were not surprised, but they felt relieved.

If you can know his intentions, this matter will not be difficult.

Only in the main hall, Wen Qi was surprised.

He was not surprised that Wang Mengying wanted to take him back to Jingkou, which was in his previous assumption.

He was still surprised that he hadn't seen him for a few years, how could his clan uncle be so old. It's not just that I'm getting older than I was many years ago, but I'm not knowing how much I'm getting older than my actual age.

And what is even more surprising is that the clan uncle seems to be a gentle person in his memory. Perhaps in this way, many elders of Sanhuai Hall give him the feeling that they are elegant, humble, and weak.

But since they sat down and knew each other's identities, the clan uncle didn't say a word of thanks to the Qin family, even if it was purely polite, he didn't say a word, and directly said that he had been able to confirm his identity, so this trip was to bring him back to Beijing.

He also said: "Since he is the descendant of the Wang family of his own Sanhuaitang, he naturally did not wander outside and neglected the reason of ancestor sacrifice......"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Qi knew that Wang Mengying had complaints about him. felt that he had obviously found Jingkou, but he did not leave a voice to revive his family, but returned to Chongtang, ignoring his ancestral family......

I can't say that I still think that the Qin family is playing tricks in it, so that he even gets angry with the Qin family.

But in any case, he recognized all of this.

He admitted that at this moment, he really didn't want to go back to Jingkou.

At one time, he wanted to go back to Jingkou very much, and even dreamed about it. I had always decided to return to Beijing after he repaid the favor. But now, perhaps from the time he received Wang Mengying's letter, to put it in his heart, he did feel that a big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.

He was really wondering if he would be able not to return to Jingkou.

And when his brothers and sisters were worried about this and asked him for confirmation with anxiety, his whole person suddenly became enlightened.

The deceased parents and relatives are all in his heart, and the brothers and sisters who are not relatives are better than relatives are all by his side, where they are, his home will be there......

But there is one thing, in the past few years, he has never broken the ancestor's Geng rice. Not only him, but so many brothers and sisters with different surnames in the family, all four hours and eight festivals, have never broken off their thoughts of sacrifice. There is no need for them to say more, the family will always prepare a complete number of sacrifices, allowing them to make private sacrifices in the back mountains and streams.

Although he subconsciously felt that it was useless to talk to Wang Mengying, he still didn't want the kindness of the Qin family to be misunderstood, so he still explained the kindness of the Qin family to Wang Mengying as it was.

While speaking, he paid attention to Wang Mengying's expression, but he obviously went in one ear and one ear out, and he didn't take it to heart, let alone be grateful, just nodded his head indiscriminately.

Wen Qi was inevitably a little disappointed, and after thinking about it, he got up and bowed down and said, "The Qin family saved me from danger and raised me as an adult, so I should repay it." Only then did he look up to the sky and bow down to others, so he lived up to the bloodline inheritance of the Wang clan of Sanhuaitang......"
