Mr. Hua has been away from Beijing for more than ten years, and he is eager to find out about his hometown and family from the newcomers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he also has a wife and a daughter at home. I'm really worried about it! The daughter must have been married, what does the husband do? Are you doing well? Is the wife good? The parents are gone, and the wife and daughter are the closest relatives. But he couldn't stand them, and he became a family here again and gave birth to a son. What can be done is to know more about their situation, and if they are doing well, they will not worry about it, that's all.

Seeing Zhang Dafeng bullying the newcomer again, he smiled and said, "Brother Dafeng, you are repeating your old trick." Why bother. Isn't it good for everyone to get along? ”

The man he called "Brother Dafeng" said: "Mr. Hua, it's not that the younger brother doesn't want to be harmonious, this newcomer is an official, which one is not higher than the official character of the prison lord?" must still regard himself as some kind of great master, with the virtue of blowing his beard and staring at his eyes, if he doesn't kill his majesty, he will ride on his brother's head and in the future. ”

"Not really. I think this new brother is very good-looking, not like the bully. Brother Gale, forget it. ”

"Forget it. Since Mr. Hua interceded with him, my old Zhang gave Mr. a face and let him go, who made you so good to your brother? Not only did he help write letters home, but he also took money to my family. ”

"Pull it down, local vernacular; The small intestine is turned over again. Yes, everyone is a difficult brother, and it is within our duty to take care of each other. The eldest brother wants to say a few words to this new brother and give it a convenience, how about it? ”

"Okay, let's go to the door." Zhang Dafeng took his men and his brothers to the door, which was quite far away from Tie Yan. Mr. Hua hugged Tie Yan with a fist: "I'm sorry, that brother was rude just now, please Haihan." ”

Tie Yan hurriedly clenched his fists: "This gentleman, thank you very much!" If it weren't for your rescue, Zhao would have suffered. Thanks a lot! ”

"You're welcome, the contemptible surname is Hua, and he has served a sentence in this prison city like you. He has been released at the end of his term, and now he is a farmer in the village. ”

"Sir, you are too modest, looking at your actions, you don't look like a country man, you must be a learned person." Tie Yan said with a smile.

Mr. Hua also smiled: "It's not about being educated, it's just a rotten Confucian." What were you doing before this? ”

"It's just a little guard, because I offended the powerful." Tie Yan didn't want to lie, and he didn't want to say more, so he explained his situation succinctly. Thinking that the Mr. Hua recommended by the prince and the one in front of him had the same surname, he asked, "Excuse me, sir, are there many people here with the same surname as you?" ”

"There are only one contemptible people with the surname Hua in a radius of 100 miles. Why did the guards ask that? ”

"You must not be called a guard, just call Tie Yan, I am young and ignorant of the world, and please ask Mr. to teach often."

Mr. Hua admired Tie Yan's modesty very much, and said politely: "Kill the old man!" If you don't dare to teach, let's be a friend of the year. Brother Fang Cai asked about the same surname, I think you have relatives and friends with the surname Hua here, or friends and classmates? ”

"This person should be said to be a friend of Zhao's friend. My friend asked my brother to say hello if he could see his friend surnamed Hua and tell him about the general situation at home. ”

"What's the name of that friend's friend? How old is it? ”

"Hualin, the word Qingshan. Probably in his early forties. ”

Mr. Hua took Tie Yan's hand and burst into tears: "I am Hualin Hua Qingshan!" I, I ......" He didn't know what to say, and he was so excited that he pulled Tie Yan and shed tears. There is no reserve at all, this is a bit of a feeling of "meeting old acquaintances in other places", but unfortunately Tie Yan is not his old acquaintance, but for Hua Qingshan, it is more precious and cordial than anything else to have someone bring the news of his relatives! Seeing his eager eyes and eager gaze, Tie Yan told him: "Your wife is very good now, your daughter has been married, and her husband's family is in the leather shop business, which is quite prosperous." Your daughter already has a son, a daughter and two children. Your wife now lives with her daughters, and they are in good health. Your friend knows I'm here to inquire about this. Do you remember Second Master Fu? The prince instructed Wen Juan not to say that he was the title of the prince, so as not to have any accidents. Wen Juan told Tie Yan about this several times, for fear that he would bring trouble to the prince if he slipped away, and some people would be pretended to be powerful if they had relatives and friends in a high position, and even used this to deceive, so they couldn't help but guard against it. Of course, Mr. Hua remembers Fu Erye, the chess friend who is magnificent, quite a general, but gentle and elegant. The second master of Fu who drew a sword to help and rain in time! So he hurriedly asked, "Second Master Fu is all right?" ”

"Good, good."

"He's been promoted now, right?"

"I didn't become an official, I was idle at home."

"Okay, being an official is also very tiring, no official is light, I really want to thank him! This person is really chivalrous, if Hua hadn't had the help of the blessed second master, he would have gone to Huangquan a long time ago. ”

"Really? Tell me about it. ”

Mr. Hua told Tie Yan about what happened at that time.

"That's right. It's not easy for you, living in this wild place for more than ten years. Second Master Fu said that you are knowledgeable, but the opportunity is not smooth, otherwise the future is immeasurable. ”

"Speaking of learning, not long after Hua and Fu Erye met, they encountered an incident, which shows Fu Erye's personality. On that day, we were drinking tea at the window, and a tall, thin, red-eyed guest officer came up from downstairs and asked for a pot of flower tea and drank it at the table not far from us. Who knew that as soon as I drank a cup of tea, two errand officers came up, and an iron chain was put around the neck of this guest officer, and they pulled it and left. The guest officer, apparently a scholar and not very strong, was pulled to the point of staggering, and asked aloud why the officer had locked him. The officer said, 'Your name is Chen Jing, right?' The man said yes, and the official said that this is right, you are the nephew of Emperor Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty, and the saint is going to arrest the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty, and you can't escape! The guest officer pleaded that I was a flag citizen of the Zhenglan Banner, I didn't know any Chongzhen at all, and I had nothing to do with him, and there were many people with the same name and surname, so I had to ask if I wanted to take someone. The messenger said, "You will admit it after beating you with thirty boards," and said that he would pull the chains. At this time, Mr. Fu stood up, walked over and said with a smile: "Two bad officials and slow hands, this gentleman is very right, we have a large population in the Qing Dynasty, especially the Han people, there are many people with the same name and surname, wouldn't it be wrong to catch the wrong person?" ”

The errand officer was on fire, and if his mouth was not clean, he would come up and fight, Fu Erye waved a fan, and beat the errand officer down in a few clicks. Do you think, the person who dares to fight the errand officer? The errand officer beat the iron fan all over his head, and he couldn't get angry anymore. Second Master Fu asked the officer: "Where is your arrest document?" Bring. The officer took out the arrest document from his arms, and it was written that the arrested criminal was indeed named Chen Jing. Second Master Fu put the arrest document in front of the locked guest officer and asked, "Are these two words?" ”

The guest officer shouted that he had caught the wrong one, and his name was Honorable Honor. He testified that his brother, who was a general in Zhenglanqi, was Chen Fang. The two errand officers were stupid at the time. As a result, the guest officer surnamed Chen was naturally released, and the guest officer Chen was grateful for the timely rescue of Fu Erye. It's just that he was caught wrong, and it's hard to say whether he has a chance to speak when he enters the prison, and torture is inevitable. Don't look at Second Master Fu, just a few words are equivalent to saving his life. Since then, they have become friends and often meet and talk in teahouses. During the conversation, it was found that this Mr. Chen Jing was a very knowledgeable person, with extraordinary conversation and full of wealth. gave Fu Erye a good impression, so that they became new chess friends. This scholar is not simple, he is very loyal and unassuming, but he can't hide his outstanding talent, and soon he went to the Hanlin Academy to do editing. Hua felt that it was the help of Fu Erye, and he was embarrassed to ask, so he later took up the murder case and was assigned. After thinking about it, that Second Master Fu is not a simple person. By the way, Mr. Chen, do you know you? It was the scholar who was rescued by Mr. Fu, if I remember correctly, his character was Dabin. ”

Tie Yan was very surprised and admired, he had seen Mr. Chen, and he was very modest, but he couldn't tell that Chen Dabin was now Prince Rui's father-in-law. So Tie Yan said: "Zhao also met Mr. Chen through Fu Erye, he is very good, he is no longer editing, and he is a western seat in a big family." ”

"It's good to be a Xixi, to be a child king, and to be with some pure-minded children all day long, it's much better than fighting for fame and fortune in the officialdom and the ups and downs of the sea."

"I take the liberty of asking: Mr. Hua doesn't want to go back to Beijing? It's a good place, but it's a wild place. ”

"Hehe, there are pros and cons to everything. This is a good wild place, the transportation is inconvenient, and bandits are rampant, but the people here are mellow, and the local people are almost all the kind of simple and kind people who have no scheming. Wouldn't it be nice to be with them without any precautions, but to drink wine and eat meat in large bowls? ”

"You seem to have gotten used to everything here."

"I don't dare to say anything, I just feel that I don't have to live so carefully with my legs high and slowly. Coupled with the protection of this mountain, I feel comfortable breathing. If it is autumn, the villagers go into the mountains in groups to pick fungus, monkey heads, hazelnuts, mushrooms, wild fruits and medicinal herbs, which is a very interesting thing. ”

The two chatted very speculatively, and Mr. Hua also went out to buy wine and food and invite everyone to drink. Take care of Zhang Dafeng and others and don't bully Tie Yan, Tie Yan is eating an unjust lawsuit, and it is very likely that he will be released at any time. Zhang Dafeng and the others naturally changed their unfriendliness towards Tie Yan and apologized to him.

After drinking, Mr. Hua briefly inquired about the situation of the imperial court, such as the ability of the newly enthroned little emperor, the ministers who assisted him, and so on. This is really a place far away from the emperor of the mountain, and any news has happened here a long time ago. Since then, Mr. Hua has become Tie Yan's "talisman skin", so that Tie Yan can adapt to everything in a relatively short time.

All the criminals here have to do every day is work. The work of the hay field is to threw the grass, bale the grass, stack the grass, and then deliver the grass. Monotonous but orderly and calm.

The newcomer has a friend like Hua Lin, Tie Yan feels very relieved and has a sense of security. I slowly discovered that this Mr. Hua is very wise and easy-going, and he can get along with anyone. Although he is a little disapproving of his abandonment of his ex-wife and daughter, he thinks that maybe he has his difficulties, each person has different circumstances, and the background behind him is also different. I thought that being sentenced and assigned must be as miserable as Lin Chong, but I didn't expect that there would be benefits that I couldn't think of in Beijing, that is, there was no unpredictability of the Forbidden City, but it was very peaceful and peaceful.

Since then, Mr. Hua has often come to Tie Yan's residence to visit him and chat with him whenever he has time. Tie Yan is a little strange, although this place is not the same as the kind of prison with a fence, but it is also called a prison city, and it also belongs to a prison, why does this Mr. Hua enter and exit as casually as if he were walking on the ground?

Mr. Hua knew that Tie Yan was confused about this matter, so he simply told him: "I am friends with Lord Liu, the prison commander of this prison city. He is not very literate, and Hua helps him cook some official documents that are reported to him, so that he has some friendship, and he takes care of me a lot. Now that I've been released from prison, where he still has my use, he is more casual than others. ”

"Oh, yes, and that's understandable. It's also normal for friends to do each other a favor. What is the behavior of this prison lord? ”

"Anyway, you can put it in the pile of good people. He doesn't have too lofty ambitions, and he is a local, so being a prison officer can be considered satisfied. It's still relatively generous to treat us people, and there are also times when we take bribes, and there are also times when we help people, so we are not cool officials. As for the newcomer who just came to play the 'Killing Stick', it was also left by his predecessor, but fortunately, he has not been killed by the Killing Stick. It's peaceful, but it's easy to get along with. “

Tie Yan understood. This kind of official is the kind of person who "does not seek merit, but seeks no fault." It seems that there is still some kindness, which is rare.

Under Qing'er's management, Wen Juan and Bing'er, who were new here, rented a small courtyard with three main rooms and two wings in the east and west, and there was no house at the gate. There was also a well in the courtyard, a stone mill, and a very thick tree. Wenjuan and Bing'er live in one room in the east, and Qing'er lives in one room in the west. Cooking was in the west wing, and the carriage sent by the palace was dismantled and placed in the east wing. There is also a horse in the east wing.

Bing'er likes it very much, this village is a bit high, and you can see the surrounding mountains. Reckless and pale, I feel that my heart has expanded. He really wanted to take a look around, but his mother didn't allow him to leave the small courtyard for fear that he would get lost when he first arrived and didn't know what to do. There are so many beasts here that I don't dare let him out. Bing'er is also very obedient, her mother won't go out if she doesn't call her out, so she dips her chopsticks in the room and learns to read and write with her mother on the table.

Most of the residents here are indigenous people, so each family has their own house. Few of the criminals from outside stayed here for long, and even the criminals in the prison city did not come with their families. The house Su Wenjuan rented was a "murderous house" where no one dared to live in the "murderous house" when everyone had the plague and then the house belonged to relatives, and the rent was only ten cents a month. Before Wen Juan and the three of them moved in, they used the money given by Ling Juan to disinfect Sur. This small courtyard has not been inhabited for almost ten years, and the plague virus has long been frozen to death in the cold and snow in winter, where is there any plague? The owner's relatives still want to sell the house to Wen Juan. (To be continued.) )
