In the backyard of the county government in Linshui County, Chen Qing stood under a tall pine tree in a daze, and the joy of returning to his hometown had already been swept away with grief and indignation......

I thought that I could give my wife and children a happy life when I returned to my hometown, but now, my wife is no longer alive, and I don't even know where to bury it? I just want to worship but can't worship, the gentle and virtuous Qiao, the lady who doesn't speak loudly, the lady who was pampered by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, what kind of mood does she live in the firewood room. And those two children, I don't know where they were sold, where are they now? What kind of life is she living, the eldest daughter is not yet ten years old, and the youngest son himself has never met, just like this......

Have they been looking forward to their return home soon?

The sky was a little overcast, and scattered snowflakes began to fall slowly, some on the trees, some on Chen Qing's eyebrows.

Chen Qing suddenly let out a sad sigh and punched the trunk of the tree, what is the use of being admitted to fame? What's the use of returning home? My family has been ruined, what is the use of this false name?

The long ensuage who has been following him next to him was picked up by Chen Qing in the beggar's nest in Kyoto, and he followed Chen Qing to live in a broken temple outside the city at first, and then Chen Qing became famous, so he followed him to Linshui County.

He was an orphan, he was born without a name, so he simply followed Chen Qing's surname, Chen Qing named him Chen Wu, at this time Chen Wu hurriedly stepped forward, took Chen Qing's already bloodstained hand, grew up in a small beggar's heap, and was the most observant of words and feelings......

Chen Wu was shocked. Hurriedly said to Chen Qing: "My lord, don't you think about it, the eldest lady and the little young master are still waiting for you to save them?" If something happens to you, those two little masters will be finished in this life, and no one will care about them anymore! ”

Chen Qing slowly came back to his senses, Chen Wu's words were like a heavy hammer, knocking him up instantly, yes, his own children at this time, I don't know where to wait for him, a father, to come to the rescue......

Chen Qing turned around. Two hands grabbed Chen Wu's small shoulders. His eyes lit up: "Chen Wu, you're right, my child is still waiting for me to rescue, thank you for the reminder!" ”

Chen Wu smiled. Quickly said, "My lord." You're a fan of the authorities. Sooner or later, you'll think of it too. ”

Chen Qing put down his hand, looked at the gray sky, and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Whispered something to Chen Wu, and Chen Wu took the order and left......

Chen Qing walked out of the courtyard, and Chen Yu in the living room was waiting restlessly, even thinking in his heart that if the second brother died like this, he didn't know if this fame would fall on him......

When he saw the doctor come out, he hurriedly asked, and the doctor comforted him, it's okay, it's just a hurry, Lord Chen has good bones, just take care of it, and then prescribe a pair of medicines, and have his own entourage to grab the medicine......

Chen Yu looked at the mighty official office and the spacious mansion, and he was envious, jealous and hateful in his heart......

I hated myself for listening to my mother's words at the time, selling my second brother's child, and hating why the second brother didn't die outside, if he died outside, then there would be no more of this matter today, and he still pointed fingers at home and acted as a blessing......

In the village, because he is a scholar, those villagers more or less respect him, because he has to come to beg himself when he writes letters to his children during the New Year's holidays......

Now it's a good thing, overnight, there is nothing, and the villagers are pointing fingers and gloating, waiting to see their jokes......

He was pondering here, Chen Qing had already come out over there, changed into a blue robe, and put his hands behind his back, with his own bearing!

Chen Yu lowered his head weakly, Chen Qing looked indifferent, politely invited the eldest brother to sit down, and the little maid who had already accompanied him served a pot of hot tea, Chen Qing poured Chen Yu a cup of hot tea, but looking at Chen Yu's eyes, there was no temperature at all.

"Big brother, I sold ...... at that time" Chen Qing was a meal, his heart hurt terribly, but he still had to suppress it, he continued: "...... When I sold my children at that time, was my eldest brother present? ”

Chen Yu nodded indignantly, Chen Qing smiled sarcastically, this is his own relatives, his own eldest brother, spending money to sell his nephews and nieces, I don't know how it feels?

"Then tell me about the specific situation at that time......

"I ...... I also forgot, silver...... Mother took it...... It's also my mother's idea...... The one who bought the child was a young man, and it looked scary...... I didn't dare to ask where he was from......"

Chen Yu, who was hesitant, said intermittently, Chen Qing wanted to laugh and cry, mother, do you see it, this is the so-called eldest son you love, and he has no responsibility at all, it's really ridiculous......

Chen Qing couldn't ask anything when he saw it, and the ugly things that the Chen family did, this eldest brother has always been conceited, and he will definitely not tell the truth, so let's wait for Chen Wu's news......

Chen Qing served tea to send off guests, and treated a stranger with alienation, Chen Yu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and left the county government with the little guy in frustration......

At ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Wu came back, and at this time, Chen Qing was in the study to read the files of the Linshui official office over the years, the official affairs had been handed over, and the rest was his own work......

Since he has become a parent official, he must also make some achievements to comfort the souls of his father-in-law and his mother-in-law......

Thinking like this, his eyes were a little hazy, he covered his eyes, trying not to let his tears fall, and after a while, he put down his hand, exhaled a long breath, and continued to look at the file in front of him.

At this time, Chen Wu hurriedly came in, Chen Qing signaled that he didn't need to give a salute, and Chen Wu told him everything he had heard.

“…… My lord, after the death of Mrs. Xian, she was thrown into the broken temple by the Chen family, and she will ...... The eldest lady and the little young master drove out, and the eldest lady took the little young master to Rongcheng and sold herself...... In order that there will be a good Samaritan to bury his wife......"

Chen Wu choked up, although he was a young man, but he couldn't say anything about it, Chen Qing on the opposite side clenched his teeth, his fists were clenched, and his heart ached, he sat on the chair dejectedly, his eldest daughter was not yet four years old when she left home, she looked like Qiao's, her eyes were dark, her snow-white skin was as cute as a little fairy, she loved to pester herself the most, she liked to use a soft and sticky voice to coquettish herself, when she left, she cried very sadly, pulled her clothes, and kept shouting, Daddy, Daddy, don't go, Don't leave Yeon'er behind......

Chen Qing couldn't imagine how such a little girl could sell herself with her young brother? She must have been very scared at the time, did she also hate herself for not coming home after being a father for so many years......

He hated why he had to take the exam at that time, and he hated the bandits of Wolf Mountain even more...... (To be continued.) )
