"Brother Wuya, you tell me about my father's return carefully!" After Chen Xu hesitated for a long time, he decided to figure out the whole story first.

"Two months ago, I inquired about Li Si's situation from Shangcai on the way back to Qinghe Town, along the way I met many businessmen recruited to go to Dongfang Road as helpers, many of them are poor people who drag their families, I didn't care, but suddenly heard someone call Chen Hu's name, I immediately remembered that Engong's father is called Chen Hu, so I got off the horse to inquire, and found that the appearance of this person named Chen Hu was rare and similar to Engongyi, so I asked him if he was from Qinghe Town, Pheasant County, Chen Hu dodged and was unwilling to answer, One of the people who was on the same road with him told him that Chen Hu was indeed a native of Pheasant County near Nanyang, so I took him to Pheasant County......"

Yu Wuya carefully explained what happened, in fact, it was very simple, it was completely a kind of coincidence in the bridge, if it wasn't for Yu Wuya who happened to hear someone calling Chen Hu's name, no one might find Chen Hu in his life, and it seems that Chen Hu didn't plan to go back to Xiaohe Village to see Chen Jiang and his two children.

"Brother Yu, don't spread the word about this matter after you go back, in a few days, I will take my mother and Princess Wan'er back to Xiaohe Village to worship their ancestors, and I will talk about my father after I go back to Xiaohe Village, I want to meet him first......"

"It's more appropriate for Engong to arrange it like this, otherwise I'm afraid my sister-in-law will find it difficult to accept!" Yu Wuya nodded.

"Let's go, let's go back first!" Chen Xu beckoned the guards and grooms to drive his carriage over, and then asked as he climbed onto the carriage, "Has Brother Wuya ever asked who that woman is?" Could that boy be born to the woman and her ex-husband? ”

"That woman calls herself Han Tian, and the boy was indeed born to him and his ex-husband, named Han Xin......"

"Bang dang~~" Chen Xu's feet slipped and fell directly from the carriage, and a dog gnawed on the poop pestle under the carriage.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye~~" A group of guards were instantly frightened, and they rushed up and pulled Chen Xu out from under the carriage.

"Engong, you drank too much today......" Yu Wuya looked at Chen Xu with a muddy face, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him wipe his face with his dirty sleeves.

Chen Xu grabbed Yu Wuya's arm tightly with tears in his eyes: "You're not mistaken, that young man is really called Han Xin?" ”

Yu Wuya nodded strangely and said, "Engong, that young man's name is indeed Han Xin, and he is articulate and sensible, and I am ready to send him to the wild ......."

"Don't say more, go back and talk about it!" Chen Xu raised his hand to interrupt Yu Wuya's words, wiped the dirt off his face, and then climbed into the carriage under the careful protection of several guards, and then ordered to go home.

Han Shin ...... Han Xin ......, "On the way back, Chen Xu was muttering all the way while sitting in the carriage.

This is the name of the third second-level villain that he has officially heard after crossing to Daqin, and now Chen Pingying has followed his own development, Liu Bang's news Jiangbei Pavilion has also inquired clearly, Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang's affairs in September Jiang Heng has also sent a letter, inquiring about the whereabouts and details of the two, the two are indeed Xiang clansmen, and they are very famous in Wu County, although Xiang Yu is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he is already more than seven feet tall, and like an old boy, he has gathered a group of young disciples all day long. The locals are usually afraid when they see it as if they are hiding from the plague god, and call it the little overlord of Wu.

Originally, Chen Xu was both interested and wary of these villains who would become the villains who overthrew Great Qin according to the historical records of later generations, and he was not very willing to have anything to do with them.

Especially people like Xiang Yu, who are naturally anti-bones, are very difficult to control, and staying by his side is not only unsafe, but may also bring disaster to himself.

Therefore, he didn't plan to find them one by one and gather them to serve him.

After all, after crossing over, according to the historical record, many things that should have happened have undergone huge distortions and changes, for example, Zhao Gao is the biggest change, and he has completely lost any opportunity to control Hu Hai.

Moreover, Li Si's book burning plan was also stopped by himself, and the current Great Qin is completely different from the Great Qin in the past.

Therefore, as long as Daqin is firmly inherited, it doesn't matter if these people appear or not, with the continued implementation of the reform, the people's livelihood in Daqin will be greatly improved in a few years, and the factors of the people's rebellion will be gradually resolved and wiped out.

At the moment, I don't know if this Han Xin is the god of war Han Xin who was praised by Liu Bang as a peerless warrior in the future, but since the name is exactly the same, Chen Xu is naturally very interested in meeting him.

Fourteen-year-old Han Xin is three years younger than himself, and he is just an ordinary poor boy at the moment.

And what made Chen Xu most unacceptable was that his father married Han Xin's mother, so that he and Han Xin could be regarded as half-brothers.

Half-...... I'm rubbing, this relationship is so complicated!

Yu Wuya returned, and the Hou Mansion was naturally lively again.

Ying Shiyan, Meng Wan and Fan Caiying are already familiar with Yu Wuya, and they have long known that although Chen Xu and Yu Wuya are the main servants, they are actually like brothers, and they are also senior brothers who are gentle in water, so they all changed their mouths to call Yu Wuya the eldest brother.

When Shen Shi arrived, the family got together for a warm dinner, and at this time, the banquet in Qinghe Garden had ended, and all the guests who congratulated and gave gifts were dispersed, and Chen Xu took a large family to Qinghe Theater to watch the play.

The third act of the White Snake is full of water, this scene has been rehearsed for more than a month under the command of Bo Daocheng, plus the experience of the first two acts and the current theater musicians and actors are already familiar with the script and various props and costumes, so this large-scale and sound, light, fog and special effects of the drama is still very exciting, and the interlude has also been replaced with the famous song "When Will the Bright Moon Be There" that lingers to the extreme, no matter whether it should be or not, anyway, it is very good, this song is far more popular among the scribes and nobles than the love and the millennium.

For a long time in the future, this song will once again lead the trend of Daqin pop music, no longer a popular song sung in the streets and alleys, but will become an indispensable song and dance for the family banquet of the noble class, after all, the fairy spirit of this song is too much, enough to make people want to integrate into the artistic conception of it, go to the Yaotai Immortal Palace above the bright moon to feel the traces of the immortals.

Back at the Hou Mansion, the family gathered in the inner hall to warm up, Xing'er and Yu Ji sang and danced next to them to perform the dance in the new White Snake Legend, Shui sat gently next to the stove to teach Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan to knit sweaters, and Chen Jiang's asked Yu Wuya in detail about some things in Qinghe Town and Xiaohe Village, and learned that the house and crops at home had always been taken care of, and wiped her tears a little sadly, obviously very homesick.

"Mother, in a few days we will go back to worship our ancestors, and then return to Xianyang after the New Year in Xiaohe Village!" Chen Xu couldn't help but comfort.

"That's a good feeling, this Xianyang people are noisy, or Xiaohe Village is quieter!" Chen Jiang wiped away his tears and nodded.

"Mother-in-law, I've always heard you say that Xiaohe Village is good, we haven't been to it yet, I will accompany you to live with you until the beginning of spring and come back when it is warm!" Ying Shiyan also comforted.

"Princess, Xiaohe Village is so fun, we also have two dogs at home, one is called Dabai and the other is called Xiaohua, I don't know if Brother Dashi has raised us to death!" Apricot stopped dancing and said with some concern.

"Hmph, if Brother Dashi raises my little flower to death, Sister Xing'er shouldn't marry him!" Yu Ji also remembered her puppy in an instant, so she said in a worried voice.

Chen Xu also looked at Yu Wuya with a little worry.

Yu Wuya laughed a few times.

"Oh, Uncle Yu must have eaten our family's big white and small flower hot pot!" Xing'er pointed at Yu Wuya and shouted.

"Wow~~ Daddy will return my little flower and my dog!" Yu Ji suddenly pounced, grabbed Yu Wuya's arm, and began to cry.

"Brother Yu, did you really eat two dogs?" Chen Xu asked with black lines on his head.

"Hehe, where can I be, I'm still alive and well!" Yu Wuya shook his head in embarrassment, and then repeatedly promised that he had not eaten Da Bai and Erhua, and the two little girls broke into laughter.

The two dogs must have grown into big dogs now, Niu Dashi will definitely not eat, because the two little girls cried when they held the dog when they left, and they had to take it to Xianyang, but it was not easy to take care of on the road, so Chen Xu asked Niu Dashi to help feed them, so the two girls were still crying for a few miles before leaving, Niu Dashi would definitely help feed them, and at the same time, they could also take care of the house on weekdays.

But Yu Wuya, a foodie, can't guarantee it, last winter the two of them didn't eat dog meat hot pot in Xianyang, and they would arrange for the kitchen to buy a big dog every other day, and the fragrant taste drooled when I thought about it, and after the winter this year, because Yu Wuya was not in Xianyang, Chen Xu was also busy every day, and he hadn't eaten a meal of dog meat until now.

"I ate too much dog meat and got on the fire, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and when I went back to Xiaohe Village, the mother will boil beef bone soup for you to drink!" Chen Jiang said with a smile while wiping Yu Ji's tears.

Shui, who had been concentrating on knitting sweaters, trembled slightly, and long bamboo needles poked at his hands.

Chen Xu saw it in his eyes but was not comforted, so he had to divert the topic and said: "Mother, when my father went to war, there should be a lot of people in Qinghe Town, have you inquired about my father's whereabouts?" ”

Hearing Chen Xu suddenly ask this question, everyone in the room stopped their movements and looked at Chen Jiang.

For this family, Chen Xu is the backbone, but Chen Jiang is the only elder, in fact, this is an imperfect family, and as a son and daughter-in-law, it is not easy to ask about this kind of topic on weekdays, and it is even more difficult for outsiders to speak.

Although the Seven Kingdoms fought for many years in the past, basically every household had a male died on the battlefield, or a brother or a father and son or a grandson, incomplete families are commonplace in the current Great Qin, but there are very few families with fathers, sons and brothers, leaving behind a large number of orphans and widows like Chen Jiang's who pull and raise their children alone, and it is these poor women and children who feed the millions of soldiers and tens of thousands of officials in the entire Great Qin, as well as the main force to support the soldiers and prisoners.

Regarding Chen Hu's news, Chen Xu had only occasionally asked about it twice before.

But this is a false proposition.

Chen Jiang grew up in an almost isolated mountain village, and lived for more than 30 years, and went to Qinghe Town as far as he went, and never even went to the county seat, so the ending of Chen Hu's failure to return was as miserable and helpless as if the sky had collapsed.

With the occupation of Chu by the Qin army, the people who went to participate in the war gradually came back, and she also asked someone to go to Qinghe Town to ask many people who participated in the war, but most families in the entire Qinghe Town were like her, and they lost their fathers and sons or brothers in that war. It is to use the lives of both sides to keep filling it in.

Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to attack Chu for the second time, although he used various tactics to delay and deceive the generals of the Chu army, but after more than a year of fighting, there were still more than 100,000 casualties, whether dead or seriously injured, in that chaotic situation, most people could only let the people dig a mass grave and bury them, and they did not even leave their names.

Even the people of the same township, after going, as the war continued, one by one slowly separated and lost contact, and when the war ended, the living returned, and the rest were basically considered dead, and then the county officials passed on to the township after the statistics, and the pavilion chief came to report, so that a family was shattered.

Dead people have no military merits.

Unless it is a field property obtained by military merit in the past, the real estate can be inherited by the children of the family.

But apparently Chen Hu was not among them, and he never returned, leaving behind only a lonely woman and two children waiting to be fed.
