Hou Da and his daughter-in-law didn't say anything, but they could see that they didn't want to take their nephew Guoxing away from Yinyue.

To put it bluntly, this is a worry.

The Hou family is afraid that Ke Yinyue will remarry, after all, Ke Yinyue is still young, beautiful, and outside all the year round, who knows if there is a good match.

This year, the atmosphere opened early, and it is common to remarry among the people, unless you encounter the kind of mother's family that is extremely pedantic, and the father is an old talent who is not enlightened, and he would rather his daughter stay widowed for a lifetime, rather than have a home for his daughter. Or maybe the husband's family is very black, powerful and powerful, and he wants to rely on a widow and the government to make a profit from the memorial arch.

These two situations are very rare, and the Hou family is not a big clan in this area, so they will not force Ke Yinyue not to remarry. Hou Da, the uncle, didn't have the idea of eating his younger brother's household, so if his brother-in-law didn't stay, the child would have to stay. Otherwise, if you are a drag oil bottle and meet a bad-hearted stepfather, the little child will not be sinned.

Qin cried and complained, and regardless of whether his daughter-in-law had not remarried, he told him that his grandson would go with her and ask his stepfather to abuse him.

Liangchen listened on the side, quite aggrieved, his stepfather is not bad-hearted.

Ke Yinyue also didn't want to leave Guoxing in the countryside to suffer, crying and crying, and the neighbors were persuading, but who could bear to force the separation of mother and son.

In the end, Qin's attitude was firm, saying that if his daughter-in-law really wanted to take her grandson away, she would hit her head and die on the wall.

Everyone was in a hurry, and the Hou family hurriedly persuaded the guest Yin Yue to comply with the old man's wishes.

Ke Yinyue had red eyes, bowed her head and did not speak.

When the Qin clan saw it, he immediately wanted to hit the wall.

The courtyard suddenly became a mess.

Seeing that this was not going to work, Liangchen thought about it and dragged Ke Yinyue aside, so she said that it would be better to leave Guoxing at her grandmother's place for the time being, and bring it to the capital when she was a little older.

On the old man's side, leave some money down, first, to improve the conditions of the family, and secondly, to start the spring for Guoxing to read the book first. Otherwise, it's not a matter of stiffness.

"When you go back to the palace, you still have to take care of your eldest brother, how can you watch Guoxing in your spare time. Well, listen to me, I really want to forcibly take Guoxing away, something happens to the old lady, how can we bear it? … The second brother has just gone to the ground. Liangchen persuaded out of the reality of the situation, and carried out the Daoist brother just now.

"It's not your own." Ke Yinyue sobbed.

"I love you more than anything else, do you know that I love the house and Wu? … Guoxing is your son, my son, how can I be bad to him? … Isn't there no way, do you really want to force the old man into trouble? "Liangchen has a headache.

Ke Yinyue stepped on Liangchen's heel fiercely, and said slightly angrily: "If you think Guoxing is your own child, how can you see him stay in the countryside and suffer?" ”

Liangchen grinned, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Okay, think about it, what can Guoxing suffer with his grandmother?" … You just listen to me, leave Guoxing behind, I promise to take him into Beijing in the next two years? ”

"You..."

Under the repeated persuasion of Liangchen, Keyinyue finally relented, took a bag of money given by Liangchen and handed it to her mother-in-law Qin with tears, and told her mother-in-law. He pulled his son into his arms again, and he couldn't stop hurting.

After a delay of more than an hour, Ke Yinyue finally reluctantly got into the carriage, and hugged her son and cried before leaving.

The surrounding villagers saw it, and they were not sad.

waited until the carriage left Mazao Village and went on the official road, and Ke Yinyue's mood was better.

Because Liangchen wanted to go back to his hometown Suning to pull the team, Ke Yinyue was a little inconvenient to follow, so he sent someone to send her back to Beijing first.

On the night of parting, Liangchen was ready to hurt Baba, but Baba also had to keep the festival.

A good minister was speechless for a long time.

After sending away Ke Yinyue, Liangchen quickly whipped his horse and ran to the river.

This can be regarded as a return to his hometown.

Thousands of miles away in Sichuan, the second uncle finally got a job.

……….

The third brother begged for food all the way from Hanzhong in Shaanxi Province to Shiyan, and the desolation along the way was full of tears. Fortunately, God does not stop them, although they have suffered a lot, but how can they survive to the stone.

However, it was different from what the third brother thought in advance, thinking that as soon as he arrived at Shiyan, he would be reused by the mine supervisor Qiu Chengyun, and he would make a fortune from then on.

The fact is that when Qiu Chengyun saw this third brother who was more tattered than asking for rice flowers, he frowned and looked disgusted. If it weren't for the fact that the third brother came from Sun Gong, Qiu Chengyun would have been able to call someone to beat them out.

Why does Qiu Chengyun dislike the third brother so much, everyone is a clean person, people come all the way from the capital to give you a hand to Gonggong Qiu, don't look at the monk's face, but also look at the Buddha's face.

The reason is that this third brother is really three old men.

The second uncle is fifty-one, Xu Yingyuan is forty-nine, and Zhao Jinjiao is forty-six.

In these years, people in their forties are not rich and noble, and they look no different from old men. If the second uncle weren't tall, he would be no different from the old farmer in the field.

For the sake of Grandpa Sun, Qiu Chengyun pinched his nose and arranged for the third brother to help out in the mine.

These idlers are not foxes and fake tigers, following behind Gonggong Qiu to play flags and shout, eating wine and drinking meat and bullying people or something.

It's a real help.

In the words of later generations, it is called a small worker.

The second uncle watched the gate at the mine, got up before dawn every day to open the door, and slept less than anyone else.

Xu Yingyuan is sweeping the floor in the yamen of the mine supervisor, but he is also the old job, and he also does this in the palace.

Zhao Jinjiao is responsible for the bookkeeping of the mine yard because he is literate and has a better position.

These three jobs can be said to be full of joy and hope for the third brother who came to Sichuan to turn over, and turned into a bubble of urine in an instant.

The three brothers regretted it, they knew that Qiu Chengyun didn't take them seriously, and it was impossible for them to go to Sichuan to suffer if they died.

But what now?

There is no point in the entanglement of going back, and then asking for food along the way back to Beijing, the third brother really doesn't have the patience.

So, I could only nest in the mine and do it first.

Looking at Qiu Chengyun brocade clothes and jade food every day, hugging before going out, but he was nesting there to watch the door, Rao is second uncle was optimistic, and he couldn't help but be silent.

The people working in the mine are all people in the vicinity, including Han people, Miao people, and Yao people. Qiu Chengyun was very lawless in Shiyan, and he imprisoned Tusima Qiancheng, but he was not bad for working in the mine, at least the wages he gave were okay.

He is also shrewd, knowing that if the workers get less, they will not be motivated to work. And if he, the mine supervisor, wants to make a fortune, he has to point to the output of the mine. didn't produce, how could he catch it. Besides, the worker's money is really not worth mentioning compared to what he earns.

After looking at the gate for half a month, after getting off work this day, after seeing that the workers on the mine were all out of the mine, the second uncle came out of the gatehouse and laboriously went to close the gate.

Not far from this gate is Qiu Chengyun's mine supervisor yamen, where people are not busy coming in and out.

After sighing and smiling self-deprecatingly, the second uncle continued to close his door. Halfway through the lock-up, I saw two brothers touching me.

"Big brother!"

Xu Yingyuan was carrying two bottles of wine in his hand, and Zhao Jinjiao was holding half a bag of pig's head meat in his hand, and the two were very excited, and they shouted from afar.

As soon as he saw the two sworn brothers coming, the second uncle immediately greeted him happily, and when he saw the wine and meat in the hands of the two, he immediately smiled: "Yesterday's money?" ”

"No, we've only been here for a long time, so why don't we give money so quickly. Besides, Qiu Chengyun's bastard still doesn't know whether to give us money or not. Zhao Jinjiao took a bite and lifted the pig's head meat in his hand, "This is the leftover from Qiu Chengyun's invitation yesterday, and the kitchen is going to throw it away, so I will see it and ask for it." ”

When Xu Yingyuan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Big brother, the meat is leftovers, but I bought this wine from my brother." ”

"Yesterday, you had money?" The second uncle was very surprised.

Xu Yingyuan smiled, lowered his voice and said, "Isn't this an account for the mine, there is a way to remember more and write less." ”

When the second uncle heard this, he hurriedly reminded the second child: "You can be careful, don't let Grandpa Qiu find out." ”

Xu Yingyuan hurriedly said that he knew, the second uncle nodded, and pulled the two sworn brothers one by one into the gatehouse.

Zhao Jinjiao put the meat on the table, opened the wine, and the three brothers ate and drank.

After all, they haven't eaten meat for two or three months, and the three brothers are all hungry.

Halfway through eating, Zhao Jin taught alcohol and said: "Big brother, second brother, let's eat this stuffy wine is boring, why don't you make an order, drink it when you order it, how about drinking and singing?" ”

Xu Yingyuan came to the spirit: "Hey, I will sing songs." ”

The second uncle laughed and didn't object. The third brother made a drinking order, which was the one that was common in the palace. Singing and drinking is not lively.

When it was the second uncle's turn to sing the song, the second uncle thought about it, although it was a hometown song, it was called random playing, and in some places it was also called Bangzi.

On the way to Beijing more than 20 years ago, the second uncle once cried and mourned the landlord's family for mixed food, and his voice was still good. A hometown is played and sung, and it really has a bit of taste.

was lively, but there was a person outside, it was a thug from the mine supervisor yamen, called Wang Wu, this person was brought by Qiu Chengyun from Beijing, and he was a supervisor in the mine on weekdays, and he was very majestic.

The second uncle and the three saw that it was Wang Wu, and knew that it was a celebrity under Qiu Chengyun, so they hurriedly stood up and asked him to sit.

"Hey, eating, drinking, and singing, you three are good."

"It's a joke to call Brother Wang, the three of us brothers are not interested, we sing and play casually, I don't want to alarm Brother Wang."

Wang Wu sighed: "It's not that it alarmed me, it's that Gonggong Qiu listened to your singing interestingly, and asked me to call you to play!" ”

When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other and did not dare to answer.

Seeing this, Wang Wu waved his hand: "It's okay." Father-in-law Qiu also eats wine, if you sing well, Father-in-law Qiu will definitely reward it. ”

The third brother had no choice but to follow Wang Wu to the mine supervisor's yamen.

There was a table of wine and food in the backyard of the mine superintendent's yamen, and Qiu Chengyun and a few cronies brought from Beijing were eating wine.

"Father-in-law Qiu, someone brought it to you!" Wang Wu stepped forward and saluted.

"The little one has seen Gonggong Qiu!"

The second uncle and the third brother also stepped forward to salute.

Qiu Chengyun glanced at the three of them with a wine glass: "Who sang the song just now?" ”

The second uncle stubbornly said: "It's a little one who is playing nonsense, I don't want to alarm my father-in-law, capital crime, capital crime." ”

"What is the capital offense?" Qiu Chengyun laughed, put down the wine glass, and pointed at the second uncle, "Li Jinzhong, you sing a song for our family." ”
