Chapter 272, a family of four

Uncle Xu was afraid that Mingjing would change his hexagram, and repeatedly told Mingjing that if he didn't dislike his family's poverty, he would welcome Changsheng and his niece to come and live at any time.

Uncle Xu's attitude put Mingjing at ease, because the real enthusiasm on his face and the love for immortality in his words could not be faked. Mingjing still made an excuse to visit Aunt Xu, and proposed to go to Uncle Xu's house to have a look, only by seeing the situation of this family with his own eyes can he really decide whether to let Changsheng and Shu'er stay.

After seeing Aunt Xu, I was sure that she was a kind and kind old man, and expressed special joy and expectation for the arrival of Changsheng in her words, Mingjing really put her mind at ease, Changsheng left the Xie family, no matter whether she was rich or poor, she could not be wronged again.

I checked the situation of the Xu family again, except for poverty, the rest were satisfied, the simple courtyard was warm and tidy, and the house provided for Changsheng to live in was not inhabited for a long time, but it was also very comfortable and tidy, and it was clear and completely relieved.

He insisted on leaving ten taels of silver and asked Aunt Xu to prepare new bedding and supplies for Changsheng and Shu'er, and use them as daily food expenses. Then he explained the approximate time when Changsheng and Shu'er came, and solemnly entrusted him, saying that after he came back from the north, he would come to visit Lao 2 and Changsheng again when he was free, hoping that they could take good care of Changsheng and Shu'er, and said something that he would repay the great kindness in the future, so he left with confidence.

In fact, after he was released from prison, the old lady only gave him a total of two taels of silver, and the silver on his body was only secretly given by his former old friend, who was not rich in his family, and he was able to give him thirty taels of silver when Ming Jing was in the most difficult time, and he did his best.

After he returned to Xie's house, he told Changsheng about the scene of seeing Uncle Xu, Changsheng was very moved, he really didn't expect that this old man who had only had one relationship was still talking about her good until now, and he was sincerely looking forward to her going, she decided to live in Uncle Xu's house after leaving the Xie family, not only safe, but also found the feeling of going home.

With a reliable place to stay, and thirty taels of silver from a friend of Mingjing, the two began to plan how to leave the Xie family, and they succeeded, and Changsheng successfully escaped from the Xie family with Jinshu.

It was already half an afternoon after leaving the Xie family and rushing all the way to the capital, in order to prevent the Xie family from discovering the whereabouts of her and Shu'er, they did not go directly to Uncle Xu's house, but took a carriage out of the east gate of Chang'an and pretended to return to their hometown, stayed in an inconspicuous inn at night, sent the Xie family's carriage back, and took another carriage back to Beijing early the next morning, and then went straight to Uncle Xu's house.

For the time being, the two of them settled down here, and Changsheng saw the enthusiasm of the two old men and the bedroom that Aunt Xu had carefully arranged for her, and secretly congratulated himself on knowing Uncle Xu. This old man who had never known her in life was enthusiastic in helping her leave the capital, and now he gave her a warm home.

In order not to make the people around them suspicious, Changsheng and Mingjing arranged the words in advance, and asked Uncle Xu to hide her and Shu'er's identities.

Fortunately, after the Sui and Tang wars, most of the residents here were foreigners, and they didn't know each other very well, and they often had relatives and friends from other places to vote, so no one was surprised and suspicious of her and Shu'er's arrival.

Uncle Xu only said to the outside world that Changsheng was his niece. Under the pretext that he had a younger brother who was sent away when he was a child because of his poor family, and later his younger brother married a wife and had children, and the children also became people, but because of an accident at home, his brother-in-law and nephew died of illness one after another, and his nephew remarried, and his younger brother couldn't afford to get sick.

He was worried that after his death, his unmarried daughter and granddaughter would be helpless, and there would be no other relatives willing to take care of him, so he remembered his brother who had not met for many years, and vaguely remembered the original address of his home, so he wrote a trustee to inquire, and learned that he had been living here, so he had the intention of entrusting orphans.

He and his wife had been desolate for many years, and of course they couldn't ask for it, so they sent it back to the trust, promising to take care of their niece and grandnephew. The younger brother left with peace of mind, and after burying his father, the niece came with his reply and the father's dying letter to the brother.

It just so happened that Uncle Xu's son had not heard from him for many years, and the old couple was desolate and worried that there was no one to support them, and they loved this niece who had never met very much, so they happily stayed and became their own daughter.

Some neighbors also know that Uncle Xu's son worked as a partner in a merchant house in the capital many years ago, and later during the war, the merchant wanted to take his only daughter back to his hometown in the south to avoid trouble, and proposed to ask Uncle Xu's son to join him, he actually left the two old men for the sake of wealth and wealth, and there has been no news since then, so I heard that Uncle Xu's adopted niece was happy for him, and no one questioned it, and Changsheng and Shu'er lived in Xu's house with peace of mind.

According to what she and Mingjing discussed, for the sake of insurance, the two should not show up for the time being, Uncle Xu also used the excuse that his niece was afraid of life and was reluctant to see people, except for Shu'er occasionally going to the neighbor's house to play with a young lady of the same age, Changsheng almost stayed at home, Uncle Xu still sold bread as usual every day, and the family of four lived a simple life, just waiting for the news of Mingjing.

According to the plan, after she and Shu'er left the Xie family smoothly and used the trick to establish themselves in Uncle Xu's house, the old lady would definitely force Mingjing and Miss Fu to get engaged, Mingjing only needed to use the excuse that she couldn't find her aunt and didn't want to get married, so she delayed the family affairs first. When Changsheng and Shu'er settled in the Xu family, and the marriage really couldn't drag on, Mingjing could turn his face with the old lady and leave the Xie family without any scruples.

After leaving the Xie family, in order to prevent the old lady and the Ming and Qing dynasties from discovering the whereabouts of Changsheng and Shu'er, Mingjing first went out of the city all the way to the east, pretending to go to Changsheng's hometown to find Changsheng, if someone was following, he would temporarily settle down in Jinyang, pretending to be looking for and wanting to take refuge in Mingche's old friend, if no one was following, he would wait for the opportunity to detour to Luoyang and then return to Chang'an, first find a hidden secret place to settle down, and wait until the convenient time to meet Changsheng.

Mingjing waited until he and the old lady turned their faces because of marriage and long-term grievances, and left the Xie family without hesitation, returned to Chang'an first according to the plan, and went to the **** in the small inn at night, and went straight to Jinyang after leaving the east gate the next day, and couldn't wait.

Ming and Qing really sent people to follow Mingjing after he turned his face and ran away from his family, wanting to find the whereabouts of Changsheng and Shu'er, and once again used Shu'er to control Mingjing and agree to the marriage. Because after Changsheng left, although she resigned and returned to her hometown, the old lady still suspected that she had not left the capital at all, and the so-called return to her hometown was just to hide her whereabouts and hide people's eyes, so although the people sent by the Ming and Qing dynasties came back and said that Mingjing had left the capital and rushed to Jinyang, the old lady did not believe it too much, and still instructed the Ming and Qing dynasties to send a letter to Xie Mingzhu and let her continue to send people to Chang'an to find the whereabouts of Changsheng and Jinshu.
