Chapter 7: The Qin Family Recognizes Relatives

The last few blessing cards, except for [Flower Monk, Lu Zhishen], are all ordinary cards.

The next day, Liu Wen asked Xue Ju to select 7 silent and obedient subordinates, and blessed them in the back hall of the inn in front of everyone.

With the flickering light, the strength of these people has been greatly improved, and it is not a problem to increase the strength of one or two hundred catties on both arms.

Seeing the methods of the 'Immortal Master', coupled with the yearning for great strength, Liu Wen's status in the hearts of Xue Ju's subordinates has undoubtedly risen to another level.

The next thing is left to Xue Ju.

The rank of the generals produced by these blessing cards is very clear, so Xue Ju has a natural leadership over high-level tool people and ordinary tool people, and there is no need for Liu Wen to make another order.

The chess pieces have been buried, and it remains to be seen how much of a role they can play in the future.

……

For more than half a month, Liu Wen picked the official path and avoided a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Although the Marquis of Baozhong County cannot be hereditary, his current identity is after all the son of a meritorious hero, and he also has the documents of the Taishou of Hanchuan County, so although he brought a lot of entourage, it did not cause much trouble.

After all, it is not surprising that a young son of an official eunuch family is looking for relatives for thousands of miles, and it is not surprising to bring more domestic servants to protect his safety.

Because the weather was good along the way and was not delayed by the rain, Liu Wen finally came to Licheng County, Qi County in early summer.

Liu Wen was originally afraid that it would be difficult to find, but when he arrived in Licheng, he learned that his cheap cousin Qin Qiong had been a fast catcher for six or seven years, and he broke out of the name of "Saizhuanzhu, like Meng Wei, Shenquan Taibao, and Shuanggong General".

Some people even made up a slip of the tongue, saying that Qin Qiong was the number one man in Shandong who "stepped on both sides of the Yellow River, attacked the six prefectures of three prefectures, and shocked half the sky in Shandong."

Such a celebrity, where his home is, just ask a little bit to know.

Walking to the door of the Qin family's house in Zhuzhu Lane, Taiping Street, Liu Wen was a little apprehensive in his heart.

His father died early in this life, and he has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, listening to his mother's chatter, and being subtly influenced, he has developed a special feeling for this aunt who has not met.

Now that we are really going to meet, excitement is inevitable.

"Knock knock!"

Liu Wen slammed the door.

"Who?!"

Accompanied by a clear voice, the sound of footsteps slowly approached, and when she opened the courtyard door, Liu Wen found that the other party turned out to be a woman who looked to be in her early twenties. This woman has a dignified face and a very kind countenance.

Liu Wen was a little surprised, "Excuse me, is this Qin Qiong Qin Shubao's home?" ”

"yes, you're ......"

"I'm sorry, let me ask again, is Qin Shubao's Gao Tang surnamed Ning?" Although Liu Wen knew that this Ning was his aunt, he couldn't show that he knew everything.

After all, he has traveled thousands of miles to find his relatives, far away in Hanzhong, according to common sense, how can he understand everything very clearly? If you are too familiar with the situation here, you will only be considered a liar.

"It's surnamed Ning, I don't know ...... this son"

Liu Wen hurriedly took out a gold bracelet, "My mother's name is Ning Wanyang, I wonder if this sister-in-law can show this thing to the old lady?" ”

As soon as the young woman heard this, she knew that Liu Wen might have come to look for relatives, so she didn't dare to slack off, "Please wait, I'll come when I go." ”

The woman took the bracelet and walked through the courtyard into the main hall, and then there was a cry of "wow" from inside, and a woman in her forties walked out excitedly with the bracelet.

As soon as he left the house, he shouted at the gate of the courtyard: "Son! Are you really my third sister's child?! ”

People are emotional animals, although Liu Wen has lived with a game mentality since he was a child, but when Qin's mother cried, his eyes and nose suddenly became sour, and he knelt down with a "poof" outside the door:

"Auntie is above, nephew Liu Wen kowtowed to you!"

After saying that, he kowtowed three times with a "bang, bang", and now Liu Wen's body is strong and tight, even if he knocks a few times, he only feels a little pain, and it will not cause any damage to his body.

"Get up! Get up! You kid! Why are you still knocking! Let my aunt take a look, have you knocked it! ”

Mother Qin helped Liu Wen up, wiped the corners of his forehead seriously, and tears flowed out again, "Like!" You really have a bit of what your grandfather looked like when he was younger! ”

Liu Wen brought 26 tool people, each holding a gift, and lined up in a long line in the alley in broad daylight.

"Look! I came to visit Qin Shubao again. ”

"No, how can I look like a relative of Old Madam Qin?"

"It looks pretty wide, you see, what a lot of gifts......"

At this moment, Qin's mother was full of joy, and went to the door and said to the neighbors: "This is my nephew!" My own sister's son! It's my nephew who came to see me! ”

"Oh! It turned out to be Mrs. Qin's nephew! ”

"Congratulations!" ……

The neighbors congratulated one after another, and it seemed that the family got along very well with the neighbors.

With tears in her eyes and a smile on her face, Mother Qin said happily, "Let's talk another day!" I'll talk to my nephew first. After speaking, he took Liu Wen's hand: "Son, go into the house with your aunt." ”

"Huh!"

Liu Wen agreed and asked the tool man to put the gift into the courtyard.

Because the yard was not too big, they came in one by one to put down their things, and then went out, and soon, all kinds of local products, tea, ham, bacon, smoked fish, and the like, piled up a small half of the yard.

If someone else came to visit, Qin Qiong's wife Jia would not accept these things. But Liu Wen is Qin's mother's nephew, and the gift he brought cannot be refused.

Although Qin Qiong was the leader of the team in the yamen, the income was not too high, and Qin Qiong also invited the guys to eat and drink together every once in a while, and the expenses were not small.

Qin Qiong is very principled, he doesn't take advantage of others, and if a friend gives a gift, he has to send a lot of things in return.

has been going back and forth like this, and life at home has been tight.

Although Jia supported Qin Qiong's approach, he was not living a good life. Now that her cousin has sent so many gifts, she is grateful in her heart, how can she look at it and feel that this relative is pleasing to the eye.

After Qin's mother pulled Liu Wen into the house, she couldn't wait to ask, "Son, how is your mother now?" Where do you live now? What happened all these years of being separated from me? ”

"Auntie, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, my mother was rescued by my father after being separated from you and my second aunt. The late father was a partial general under Yang Jian, the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, because he had meritorious service in the east and west, and after Yang Jian usurped the Zhou, the first father was awarded the title of Marquis of Zhongzhong County.

At that time, my father and my mother had already married, and they had not stopped inquiring about the whereabouts of the two aunts, but they had not received any news. When the child was seven years old, my father died, and my mother and I depended on each other, because the family was in the middle of the road, and there was no one to send anyone......

When the child grows up, he helps his mother take care of the family business, because of good luck, he makes some money in business, and his life gradually improves...... The year before last, there was a Shandong merchant who came to Hanchuan to sell tea, and said that the first good man in Shandong was surnamed Qin, and he was good at making a pair of tiles and gold.

I remembered that my mother had said that my uncle's method was the best in the world. So I specifically asked the merchants in Shandong to inquire about the news, and when I heard that Qin Shubao's senior surname was Ning, I felt that this No. 1 man in Shandong might be my cousin. So he showed his mother and went out of Hanzhong...... I finally met my aunt. ”

After hearing this, Qin's mother burst into tears, patted Liu Wen's hand and sighed: "Son! It's hard for you, it's hard for you! ”

The two were talking, and footsteps sounded in the yard again, Liu Wen turned his head to look out the door, and saw a man in his early thirties, carrying a shoulder basket and walking in, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, who is this?
