Old Man Tan and Tan Decai were in the dust, and their faces were full of fatigue, and they seemed to have rushed a lot.

Qiduo heard Sizao say that Old Man Tan's father and son may have gone to inquire about the news of the old aunt and the empress dowager, and I don't know how to inquire.

But seeing that there is no joy on the faces of Old Man Tan's father and son, it is possible that things are not going well.

"Dad, third child, where have you been, how many days have you been out?" Tan Dejin hurriedly stepped forward to help Old Man Tan, looking at his father's tired appearance, he was really worried that his father would fall.

Old Man Tan waved his hand, "Let's talk about it when we enter the house." ”

Tan Dejin nodded and entered the Tan family's compound together, followed by Qiduo.

In the yard, Tan Guihua is no longer washing clothes, but the clothes drying all over the yard are still there.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Old Man Tan and Tan Dejin were startled, thinking that something had happened at home.

"Boss, how did you get back?" Old Man Tan asked as he lit the clothes all over the courtyard.

"Dad, this ...... I don't know. Tan Dejin was also confused, and he didn't know what his wife was doing.

Qiduo remembered what Saburo said in the morning, and the corners of his mouth moved.

The Zhao family is really ruthless, let Tan Guihua wash these clothes all of a sudden, and she has to peel off her skin without being tired to death, if you know today, why bother in the first place, why did you go earlier.

However, the Zhao family is so cruel to his own daughter, let alone to others?

Qiduo's back is cold, so let's be careful in the future.

The Zhao family was about to let the Wu family set the meal, when they suddenly saw Old Man Tan and Tan Decai coming back, and they were pleasantly surprised to come out of the main room.

And asked Wu to prepare hot water to wash the dust for Old Man Tan.

"Old man, third. You're back. I'm tired. Let's go inside and take a break. Zhao was very considerate, but when he saw that Tan Dejin and Qiduo were also following behind, his face sank, "Boss, Qiduo, why are you two here too?" ”

Old Man Tan glared at Zhao, "What are you talking about, I asked them to come." "Turn your head to Tan Dejin and say." Boss, come into the house and have something important to tell you. ”

Zhao pursed his lips, didn't say anything more, and helped Old Man Tan into the house.

If it weren't for Old Man Tan's last words, Qiduo and Tan Dejin were ready to leave, who would be rare in this Tan family compound.

Qiduo guessed that the Zhao family was selfish, otherwise why didn't he tell his family about the news about the old aunt and the empress dowager, this is a big deal in the Tan family.

The Zhao family must have wanted to let Old Man Tan inquire about the old lady first. Look at the current living conditions of her old man's descendants, if it is good. The Zhao family must take advantage of it first, and then tell their children and grandchildren.

She must have been worried that if her family learned the news, if she found the descendants of the old lady in advance, what good thing would not be taken by her own family.

This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen to the Zhao family.

Of course, if the old lady is very depressed, the Zhao family will definitely stay away from them, for fear of suffering.

After entering the house and sitting down, Wu ordered Sizao to bring hot water, and Qiduo stepped forward to help, squeezing a hot towel to wipe the faces of Old Man Tan and Tan Decai.

Tan Dejin made hot tea for his father and the third child.

After being so busy, Old Man Tan lit a dry cigarette again, and after a few puffs of beauty, he spoke, "Old woman, go and call the second child and them too." ”

"Old man, you and the third child have rushed those roads, and they are tired, let's talk about it tomorrow, let's hurry up and eat first." Zhao glanced at Old Man Tan.

"If I tell you to go, you can go, anyway, it's only a matter of a few words, and it won't take long to delay." Old Man Tan glared at Zhao.

Zhao glanced at Old Man Tan fiercely, got up very reluctantly, and went to call Tan Deyin.

In less than a moment, Tan Deyin followed Zhao over.

The plaster on Tan Deyin's leg has been removed, but he is still a little lame when he walks.

Should!

Every time he saw Tan Deyin, Qiduo would secretly curse this sentence in his heart.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Old Man Tan didn't say much other gossip, "Calling you here is an important matter, and it should be a big deal for our family......"

Hearing that it was a big event, Tan Deyin's eyes flashed, and he stared at Old Man Tan very seriously, for fear of missing something.

"It's about the old lady and the ......empress dowager," Old Man Tan said next.

This source comes from Old Man Tan's eldest son, Tan Guihua, that is, Qiduo's eldest aunt.

Tan Guihua married in Dafeng Town, more than 30 miles away from Tanjiazhuang, her husband's surname is He, and her husband's name is He Yousheng.

He Yousheng has a cousin who is in the yellow tobacco business, and he has been running around all the year round, and he just came back a few days ago, and he brought back a piece of news, saying that he had met two people in Suzhou Mansion.

The two are said to have lived in Yicheng Mansion and was originally a public waiting home, but was later exiled to other places due to an accident. Now that the case has been rehabilitated, they have come back from where the birds don't.

My cousin had heard He Yousheng talk about the old aunt and wife of the Tan family, so after he came back, he immediately told Tan Guihua the news.

Tan Guihua ran and told Old Man Tan to listen.

When Old Man Tan heard this, he thought that it was very likely that he was the old aunt and the empress dowager, so he took Tan Decai to Tan Guihua's house non-stop, wanting to ask his cousin for clarification.

Unfortunately, the cousin was not at home, and he was supposed to come back today, but when the road was down, the cousin asked someone to come back with a message, and he left Tonglin County by boat, and it may take half a year to come back.

Old Man Tan and Tan Decai pounced and came back very disappointed.

Qiduo sighed lightly, thinking that there was really some definite news, but it turned out to be such unreliable news.

"Dad, why don't we ask someone to inquire about whether the case of the old aunt's family has been rehabilitated, if it is rehabilitated, it is very likely that the descendants will come back. If not, then it is impossible for these descendants to come back. Tan Deyin suggested.

Because once he is sentenced to exile in a barren land, he cannot return to the Central Plains without a holy decree, otherwise it will be a great crime of defrauding the king.

Old Man Tan nodded, "I also have this intention, but." Such a big thing. Ordinary people can't ask. We don't know any high-ranking officials and dignitaries in our family, alas, there is no way to inquire if you want to. ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked at Qiduo.

Qiduo pursed her lips lightly, knowing what Grandpa Dao meant, she wanted her to find Shen Huairen.

But now that Shen Huairen is not in the court, after looking for him, he also has to ask others.

She didn't know anything about the court. But if you think about it, this kind of thing should be more sensitive, if the old aunt's family has been rehabilitated, then it's okay to ask. If not, that's a bit inappropriate.

You can't make trouble for the Shen family.

When Qiduo was in a dilemma, Tan Deyin spoke, "Dad, I think Red Thunder may be able to help with this." ”

"Red Thunder? Second brother, Red Thunder is just a small catcher, what can he help? Tan Decai said with some disdain.

Tan Deyin glared at him, "What do you know." It's true that Red Thunder is a small catcher, but he knows the ancient county order. Although the official position of the ancient county order is not large. But he knows the prefect and governor above, and they should all get some news about such a major event, and maybe there will be official documents sent over. ”

Old Man Tan twisted his brows and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Well, you have some truth in what you said." ”

Zhao Shi looked at Tan Deyin and said lightly, "Second brother, then you go and talk to Honglei and ask him to help inquire." ”

Tan Deyin nodded very happily, "Hey, Cheng." However, he quickly looked embarrassed again, "Dad, mother, it must be no problem to let Honglei inquire." It's just that...... It's just that if you ask someone to do something, you have to spend some money up and down, otherwise, who cares about you. ”

Is this a change of way to ask for silver?

Qiduo sneered in his heart.

As soon as he heard that he was going to spend silver, Zhao's face immediately showed a look of pain, "How much silver does this cost?" ”

Tan Deyin touched the short beard under his chin, "This will cost at least one or two hundred taels, but, father, don't be reluctant to spend this silver, you think, if the old lady's family is really rehabilitated and restored to the title of the year, those descendants know that our family has not forgotten them, and they have asked them around, they will be moved, and they will lose our family at that time." Maybe it is not necessary to take your second elder to Yicheng Mansion to enjoy the blessings, so this silver should be spent when it should be spent, as the saying goes, reluctant children can't catch wolves. ”

Old Man Tan and Zhao's expressions moved slightly, as if they were moved.

Qiduo couldn't see Tan Deyin's disgusting appearance the most, it was clearly to deceive Old Man Tan's silver, but he said it in a high-sounding manner.

She believed that after Tan Deyin deceived the silver, he would not make a difference, and when the old man Tan asked, he could be sent away as long as he said, "I didn't hear about it". As for where the money went, of course, it was spent when asking for help.

Anyway, no one stipulates that if you spend money to beg someone, things will definitely be done.

Qiduo sat up straight, looked at Old Man Tan and said, "Grandpa, anyway, Yicheng Mansion is not very far from our Tonglin County, instead of asking people around for news, it is better to go to Yicheng Mansion in person." The old aunt's family was famous in Yicheng Mansion back then, and if it was really rehabilitated, the locals would definitely know about such a big thing. ”

Tan Deyin's eyes swept over, and there was a knife inside.

Qiduo looked back at the past with a calm and calm look, not afraid.

Zhao immediately calculated in his heart, to go to Yicheng Mansion, as long as it costs some money, it doesn't cost too much money, at most twenty or thirty taels.

Old Man Tan looked at Tan Dejin and Tan Decai, as if asking for their opinions.

"Dad, Duo has some truth in what he said, all these years, no matter what it is, we should go to the old aunt's side to have a look." Tan Dekin nodded in agreement.

"yes, Dad, let's go." Tan Decai also nodded.

Tan Deyin seemed to see the silver with wings and flying away in front of his eyes, and immediately objected, "Dad, my aunt's family has been away from Yicheng Mansion for all these years, where will anyone remember them, isn't this a trip in vain, a waste of silver and labor." ”

"I think the boss has a point, no matter what it is, we, as juniors, should go to the old aunt's house to see it." Old Man Tan made a decision.

This matter was settled in this way, as for who would go to Yicheng Mansion in the future, Old Man Tan said that he had to think about it, he himself was old, and he might not be able to stand the fatigue of traveling.

Tan Deyin's calculation failed, and he flicked his sleeves hatefully and left first.

Qiduo and Tan Dejin also said goodbye and went home.

"Old woman, what's the matter with the clothes that fill the courtyard?" Old Man Tan had the time to ask Zhao. (To be continued......)
