Chapter 493: Sincere Uncle, Dedicated to Home
People say that the sunset is the end of the world, and you can't see home when you look at the end of the world.
Zhu Ping'an sat on the top of the island mountain, watching the sunset slowly sink into the boundless sea, and his heart couldn't help but feel melancholy, there was nothing else on the sea except the waves, no sails, and no time to return home. Everything else is okay, but I am afraid that my mother Chen will be worried after learning the news
However, the departure of the sunset is only a brief separation, and it will return tomorrow morning.
Don't worry, mother, son will definitely go back.
In the afterglow of the sunset, the hustle and bustle of Xiahe Village was restored to quiet, and there was no bride and groom, so the noisy hole room that the village people liked was omitted, and the whole wedding ended early, and the people who came to participate in the Zhu family's wedding banquet also returned to their homes one after another.
After all the people dispersed, a group of five people appeared on the front street of Xiahe Village, walking in the direction of Zhu Ping'an's house, namely Old Man Zhu, Old Lady Zhu, Uncle Zhu Shouren, Aunt Zhu and Zhu Pingjun's daughter-in-law.
Almost as soon as the people dispersed, Uncle Zhu Shouren led Old Man Zhu and them over.
"Uncle him, what are you doing here?" A villager who helped Zhu Ping'an's family clean up the yard before coming back, saw Old Man Zhu and his group of five, and asked casually with some curiosity.
"Zhang Er, let's go and help the second child's family clean up."
Uncle Zhu Shouren was wearing a jade-colored cloth cloth uniform, and the whole person was more elegant, he glanced at the man with his head held high, and spoke with the pride of a scholar, and his words were full of benevolent brothers.
oh
The villagers sighed and glanced at Old Man Zhu and them. He staggered and walked over. After walking away for a distance, the villagers rolled their eyes heavily, and he was disdainful of Zhu Shouren's words. If it is to help Zhu Ping'an's family clean up. At the end of the feast, what are you doing when you run home so quickly, and when we have all packed up and finished all the work, you will pass slowly.
In addition, Jue's uncle Zhu Shouren is too pretentious, not even Xiucai, and the shelf is so high. He doesn't look at people when he speaks. Everyone Ping'an Lang has been admitted to the top prize, and when he came back to the village, he didn't take the initiative to greet people when he saw them, and he was always an uncle and aunt. No one in the village has ever seen anyone put up a fight.
There are also people who keep the righteous family, and the people are wide, and they haven't seen anyone put up a score, and the bridge in the village is built by the people's righteous family. What a nice man. In the past, the old Zhu family also relied on others to go up the mountain to hunt and work in the fields. What a lot of effort, I didn't know what Old Man Zhu thought at the beginning, almost let the second family go out of the house!
Now look at the Shouyi family, those two big houses, and the livelihood of driving ox carts, and there is a champion son.
I don't know, now Old Man Zhu's intestines are repentant
Ping An Lang is a good boy, and he is a school valley and a land rent. This year, the county government has given half of the conscription to Xiahe Village compared with last year.
It's a pity. Hey, I hope God has long eyes, and Ping An Lang is safe
"Boss, I'll see this slow." Old Man Zhu walked and walked, suddenly stopped, looked at the uncle Zhu Shouren and said.
"Dad, we've all agreed at home." Seeing this, the eldest aunt said anxiously.
"Why don't you talk to your father?"
Uncle Zhu Shouren reprimanded the eldest aunt, blocked Old Man Zhu and Old Lady Zhu when he turned around, gave the eldest aunt a look, and signaled the eldest aunt to be restless.
"Dad, I want to slow it down, but I can't. In a few days, my son will go to the hospital exam, and it will be too late if I miss the time, but this time my son is stable, and Mr. Liu and they all promised their son. When his son wins the show, it will be too late. Before the show, the son added land under his name, and the government would not take care of it, and the son did not have to pay taxes if he had the fame of the show; But after his son won Xiucai, he suddenly increased so much land, the government would investigate, and if he found out that he was in accordance with the law, he would be severely punished. After Uncle Zhu Shouren finished training his aunt, he turned around and explained to Old Man Zhu.
"Aren't there many people who donate their land after they are raised? Why didn't the government check? Old Man Zhu hesitated.
"My father, the one in the child is the lifter, of course the government will not check, the lifter is an official, and the government is a family, who dares to check. But the son's talent is not good, and he naturally doesn't have to worry about it after his son is lifted, but his son is a talent. Uncle Zhu Shouren said with a bitter face.
"Hey, it's all the son's incompetence, if only the son could win the lifting earlier, so that even if the land of the second family does not need to be renamed, the son can protect the second family from paying taxes." Saying that, Uncle Zhu Shouren sighed heavily with guilt.
"The boss is right, the second family has so much land, and Bi'er doesn't have to pay taxes when he's there, but now that Bi'er is gone, I'm afraid that every family will have hundreds of taels of silver just to pay taxes." Mrs. Zhu nodded, and then said painfully, "Hundreds of taels of silver, why can't you do it, hand it over for nothing, thanks to it." ”
"Hundreds of taels of silver" Old Man Zhu also had some pain.
"That's not all, Dad, you don't know what happened in the court recently. Last time, my son and a few younger brothers went to Anqing Mansion to see Lord Liu, but I heard about it. My son was afraid that your old man would be worried, so he never told you that he was old. Uncle Zhu Shouren shook his head, as if he had something to say.
"What did you hear?" Old Man Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with some worry.
"Hey, you're confused." Uncle Zhu Shouren didn't say anything, but he sighed heavily.
"What's wrong with Biao'er?" Old Man Zhu asked.
"Bi'er is confused, hey, Dad, to tell you the truth, Bi'er is in trouble." Uncle Zhu Shouren shook his head and said with a heavy face.
"What kind of trouble can Biao'er cause, Biao'er is now everyone" Old Man Zhu's face was a little pale.
"Dad, it was before the accident, hey, Bi'er is very knowledgeable, but he is still too young, inexperienced, and easy to be bewitched." Uncle Zhu Shouren sighed again.
"What the hell is going on?" Old Man Zhu was in a hurry.
"Now that the news has spread, before the accident, he wrote a memo, which is to impeach and kill the good and take the merits, and impeach a general for killing the common people as the enemy to repay the merits." Uncle Zhu Shouren said with a heavy face.
"You're doing the right thing, this kind of person should be played." Old Man Zhu was puzzled.
"Dad, you don't understand, he was deceived by others, the general fought bloodily on the front line, did not avoid the sword soldiers, threw his head and spilled blood to kill the enemy, and the head and even the hair were barbarians' hairstyles, how could it be a good killing, that was a real barbarian. The general killed the enemy on the front line, and he listened to the rumors and impeached the general, what do you say about this? Uncle Zhu Shouren shook his head and said.
Old Man Zhu opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't speak if he wanted to.
"When the general heard about it, he was wronged, took off his armor and revealed his scars, and knelt down at the entrance of the criminal department to redress his grievances," Uncle Zhu Shouren sighed.
Old Man Zhu's mouth opened even wider
"It's not all, Dad, do you know the background of this general?" Uncle Zhu Shouren looked at Old Man Zhu and asked.
Old Man Zhu shook his head with a pale face.
"This general is today's elder, that is, the current prime minister as we say, the doorman of Yan Songyan's family!" Uncle Zhu Shouren hugged his fists to the north when he spoke, with a look of awe.
"Ah" Old Man Zhu was frightened.
"This year, there are two bold impeachments of Lord Yan, both of whom have been taken out of their official positions by the imperial court and sent to prison, and a few more were killed last year, but this is an indirect impeachment of Lord Yan." Uncle Zhu Shouren continued.
"Kill the head" Old Man Zhu was completely frightened.
"Not really." Uncle Zhu Shouren nodded vigorously, and then continued, "You said that Yu'er is not confused. Just one day before Yu'er's accident, the imperial court also made a special order to Yan'er about this matter, asking Yan'er to go to the Criminal Department to make a statement. ”
"The Criminal Department, but it's all under the control of Yan Ge, my father. Uncle Zhu Shouren looked at Old Man Zhu's face, and then added, "Yu'er is gone, but the people are gone, and the home is still there." How many officials have been raided and their homes have been raided, but there is nothing left, even if they are not raided, but Yu'er is gone, who can protect the second family, and the other officials are not strict adults, there are many means to be officials, some are clear-sighted, if you want to rectify the second family, then it is not easy to go with the raider"
Old Man Zhu was almost frightened and couldn't stand on his feet.
"But if the land is transferred to the son's name, it will be different, the second family and our family are separated, and they are registered in the county government, so it can't even affect our family. The land was kept. ”
"The son doesn't want the land of the second family, this land is only in the name of the son, and in essence, it is still the second family, and he can pay a hundred taels of silver less every year. What is the bad thing to do with hundreds of taels of silver, add some clothes to you and your mother every year, eat some good food, and buy some good tobacco, and only give your son ten taels of silver every year to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the rest of the money is from the second family, and the son doesn't want a word. Something happened, and the second family also had a way back. ”
Uncle Zhu Shouren swore to the sky and said sincerely.
Old man Zhu was moved by Uncle Zhu Shouren's words, knocked the cigarette bag and pot hard, inserted it into his waist, and said a word, go. (To be continued.) )
