"The north wind rises, the weather is cold, and the poor sons and daughters sew ...... Can dismantle and wash, sew and pulp, dismantle and wash, sew and mend new clothes......"

A song "Sewing Poor Children's Song" is desolate, and generally elderly women can't do heavy work, so they take needles and threads and go to the street to sew and mend clothes for others, and how much money to give depends on people's thoughts. The hardest thing is that Tang Yi and Xu Wei found the residence of Aunt Wang, a dilapidated temple, the roof of which has long been gone, just leaning against a wall, erecting a few logs, and covered with broken mats outside, which can neither shelter from the wind nor the rain.

The ragged woman huddled inside, shivering. Xu Wei glanced at it, and felt that his nose was sour, and he couldn't help but think of his biological mother who worked in the Guan family, how similar it was.

"Okay, she's so pitiful, just help if you can!"

The implication is not to use her to deal with any Wang Daochong Tang Yi nodded silently, Xu Wei stepped forward and tried to squeeze out a smile.

"Eldest sister, come out, we are all good people, I want to talk to you about something."

Xu Wei said it three times, and the woman reacted, slowly crawled out of the "nest", and looked at Xu Wei and Tang Yi blankly, they were both dressed luxuriously, not like ordinary people.

"Two sons, what's the matter with looking for the slave?"

Xu Wei didn't wait to speak, Tang Yi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, our family lacks a few old mothers who are sewing and repairing, I heard that your craftsmanship is good, and life seems to be difficult, if you want, go to our house." ”

The woman looked back timidly, and there was nothing of value, she hadn't eaten for three days, and what was there to be afraid of.

"Son, the slave family is willing."

"Well, Madame is very talkative." Tang Yi led the way in front with a smile and took Aunt Wang back home. Telling Zhu about the situation, Zhu not only did not blame, but also said: "Your father told me, don't look at our family is doing well now, we have been guilty before, and we should help the poor more." ”

Zhu personally arranged for two maids to help the woman wash. prepared new clothes for her and made a few dishes, and Zhu personally accompanied her.

After eating, Zhu did not rush to arrange work, but let her rest at home and take care of her body. Aunt Wang was so moved that she knelt down in front of Zhu.

"Madame is too good to the slave family, and the slave family is willing to serve Mrs. for the rest of her life, but there is one thing that the slave family can't let go!"

Zhu is kind-hearted. I couldn't see others crying, and said: "Don't block it if you have something to say, say it, I'll try my best to help." ”

"Thank you, ma'am."

Aunt Wang intermittently talked about what happened to her, since her husband was sent to the army, his status in the Wang family has plummeted, and without a man to support the façade, she has become more and more embarrassed. Unfortunately, she is also pregnant with a child, and the pressure she is under is even more alarming. For the sake of the child in her belly, she could only give the dowry and exchange it for some supplements, but how did she know that her sister-in-law actually said that she was a thief who stole the family's money!

Her belly grew bigger day by day, and the old man died at this time. Without the pressure of the old man, the sister-in-law bullied her even more, and Aunt Wang couldn't stand it, so she asked to split the family, but the sister-in-law said that she didn't know whether she was pregnant with a man or a woman. If the girl is not eligible to share the property of the royal family. even found the elders of the clan to put pressure on her together, which made Aunt Wang mentally exhausted and overwhelmed, and finally miscarried, and it turned out to be a baby boy!

For this reason, Aunt Wang was seriously ill and almost died, and before she recovered, her sister-in-law expelled her from the house.

After listening to her story, Zhu was furious.

"Okay, ruthless and unjust, femme fatale, follow me to settle accounts with her!"

"Don't!" Second Aunt Wang hurriedly pounced over and hugged Zhu's legs.

"Madam, back then, I blamed the slave family for being useless and lost his child. If the lady takes pity on the slave family, can she help the slave family find a husband, even if he ......" Aunt Wang sobbed: "Even if he dies, I must give the slave family a letter." ”

Zhu agreed without hesitation, not to mention anything else, even if there are horns in the army, Cheng Guogong can see it clearly. Zhu's kind words comforted, and Aunt Wang finally felt a lot more relieved.

……

At this moment, suddenly Lei Qi's men came to deliver the letter.

"Young master, the Wang family is fighting."

"What's going on?"

"Someone saw that it was a military master on horseback who entered the Wang's house, and after a while, there was a lot of noise inside, and then there was the sound of fighting."

Commander!

Tang Yi was stunned, don't you be Wang Daochong's second uncle back, right?

Instructed them to continue to inquire about the news, Tang Yi told Second Aunt Wang about the situation, and Second Aunt Wang was trembling with excitement, dragging her tired body, and ran outside.

Don't talk about the Wang family, don't look at her appearance, whether she can go out or not.

Zhu hurriedly came over to support her, and ordered the car, and Tang Yi and Xu Wei also followed. Not long after coming out, Lei Qi also ran over, panting and said, "Madam, son, the Wang family has arrested Qiu Ba, who is making trouble, and is heading to the Yamen!" ”

"What are you still stunned about, let's go too!"

……

Knock knock knock......

The drums sounded, and the old man ascended.

Zhang Shouzhi was dressed in an official uniform, sitting majestically, and his majesty was not small.

"Who's kneeling down there?"

"Student Wang Daochong, second place in the county exam."

"Oh?" Zhang Shouzhi couldn't help but be surprised, Wang Daochong's article impressed him too deeply, second only to Tang Yi, and he was impeccable.

If it goes well, Wang Daochong's absolute strength will impact the Jinshi, plus Wang Shimao, one subject can produce three Jinshi, which can be regarded as burning high incense, and the court will reward it.

Zhang Shouzhi couldn't help but say with a calm face: "Wang Daochong, since you won the second place, why don't you study at home, prepare for the government exam, and go to the lobby to do something?" ”

Wang Daochong's face was sad, and he said in his heart that it was okay, who wanted to come, and he was not forced.

"Qiyu's old parents, it's not that the student doesn't know his own respect, but someone ran to the house to make trouble, and injured several family members, and the student had no choice but to send him to the government."

Zhang Shouzhi nodded, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What kind of person is so bold, in broad daylight, he actually broke into a private house and hurt people." Don't bring it with you yet! ”

While speaking, two messengers escorted a middle-aged man in armor, and when they arrived at the lobby, they saw Wang Daochong, and they were angry, and their hair stood on end. When he pounced on him, he was about to make a move, but the official hurriedly held him down.

"Who are you, you haven't recruited it from the truth!"

The middle-aged man held back his anger and saluted Zhang Shouzhi: "Master Qiqi, the little one is called Wang Huaiyi, yes, it is the second uncle of this little beast!" ”

Is it your own family? Zhang Shouzhi looked at Wang Daochong in surprise.

Wang Daochong said with a bitter face: "Old parents, what he said is good, but the students still have affection in return." ”

"Say."

"That's right." Wang Daochong straightened his chest. said in a loud voice: "My second uncle violated the rules of the king's family, and the court sentenced him to be sent to the army, and my grandfather had already expelled him from the family. ”

"You fart!" Wang Huaiyi scolded, "You dare to deny me, see if I don't kill you!" ”

"Wait!"

Zhang Shouzhi glared at him and said angrily: "Above the lobby." Shall you roar? The officer asks you, is what he said true? ”

"This ......" Wang Huaiyi's face turned red. Busy said: "Master, what he said is true, but ......"

"No, but!" Zhang Shouzhi said angrily: "Since you have been expelled from the house, it is two families, and it is not right for you to make trouble with your brother and nephew." The old man remembers your feelings for the country. Don't do much to investigate, make amends to your nephew's family, this official, and you can not blame the past. ”

"Apologize to him?" Wang Huaiyi's brows stood up, and he reprimanded angrily: "Don't think about it." Let me ask you, where is your aunt? ”

With the support of the officials, Wang Daochong was not afraid, and said loudly: "Second uncle, aunt, she didn't abide by women's morals, stole things from the house, and left the house a long time ago. ”

"You talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, everyone in my family knows about it." Wang Daochong was not to be outdone.

Wang Huaiyi couldn't say anything about him, his head was so angry that his head swelled, his pupils were filled with blood, and he stretched out two big hands and grabbed it, eager to tear Wang Daochong apart, so frightened that Wang Daochong retreated again and again, and the officials rushed up one after another, Wang Huaiyi had practiced after all, and several officials couldn't hold him down. Above the lobby, it is so chaotic that it has to fight with the vegetable market.

Zhang Shouzhi felt that his brain hurt, and sighed, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, and his nephew and uncle are in a lawsuit, and they are in a mess, and they have no clue at all.

"Wang Daochong, Wang Huaiyi, since you are uncles and nephews, find a place and make things clear, the old man's court is not a place for you to solve housework, please step down!"

Wang Dao hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Old parents, my second uncle is cruel and violent, if you don't care, the student will be beaten to death." ”

"It also makes sense, in this way, Judge Zhou, you go and take a team of officials to send Wang Huaiyi out of Taicang, there must be no mistake."

Zhou Xun hurriedly agreed, Wang Daochong was secretly happy, I really didn't expect that the second uncle would come back alive, how could he not die in the army, how good it would be!

Wang Huaiyi was dragged by the officials, scolded loudly, and walked outside.

At this moment, someone suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the officials, and several officials looked up and were stunned for a moment when they saw Tang Yi.

"Tang Gongzi, why are you here?"

"I'm here to do good." Tang Yi swore and said, "You are Wang Huaiyi? ”

As soon as Wang Huaiyi turned around, he saw a handsome boy standing behind him, nodded stupidly, and asked, "Are you?" ”

"Leave me alone, come and see this, do you know him?"

Looking along Tang Yi's fingers, he saw an old woman standing there, tears flashing in her eyes. Wang Huaiyi's pupils constricted, and then they dilated violently, and strange syllables came out of his throat, and tears flowed down.

Ran over in three steps and two steps, no longer caring about anything, and hugged the woman's body.

"Cui'er, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Second Aunt Wang wiped the tears from the corners of her husband's eyes and smiled sweetly.

"What a dream in broad daylight! It's been more than seven years, you haven't changed at all, I've grown like this! ”

"Not old, not old at all!" Wang Huaiyi smiled, took out a package from his arms, and gently unfolded it, there were several pieces of jewelry such as bracelets, earrings, and hostas, all of which were worth a lot of money. Aunt Wang didn't care about these golden and jade things, but grabbed a pair of tightly stitched knee pads and held them tightly in her hands, her face flushed with excitement.

"Brother, it's been seven years, and you still keep it?" After saying that, tears clouded his eyes. (To be continued.) )
