Yu Fuling nodded vigorously, carefully folded the two silver tickets, put them in her purse, and stuffed the purse into the small bag before climbing into bed.

Lying beside Yu Jiao, she couldn't help but reach out and hug her, "Yu Jiao, why are you so good, our family has really picked up a treasure." ”

Yu Jiao laughed, "Let's sleep." ”

In the middle of the night, there was a crackling rain outside the house, Yu Jiao was woken up, she got up and put on a coat, pushed open the window and looked at the sky, the dark sky seemed to be overwhelming.

Yu Jiao's five fingers moved slightly, and after a moment, she sighed softly, there is too much rain here this summer, if the river ditch is not dredged, there will be autumn floods.

The cold wind and the rain came to her face, Yu Jiao raised her hand and closed the window, she lay back on the bed lightly, Yu Poria in her sleep stuck to Yu Jiao in a daze, felt that her hands and feet were cold, and pulled the futon on her.

Yu Jiao pursed her lips and smiled, closed her eyes, and fell asleep quietly.

Early the next morning, the rain had stopped, and when Liu Ziqi and Gu Yun were having breakfast, Liuzi sent a letter in, "Childe, little marquis, there is a letter from the capital." ”

After Liu Ziqi opened the letter and read it, he handed it to Gu Yun and said, "The letter said that the silver for the dredging of the Sihe ditch was set down, and it was Cheng Ying who persuaded the emperor after returning to Beijing. ”

"Him?" Gu Yun threw down the letter and said mockingly, "This kind of good deed to save the dawn and the common people is really not like what that celebrant palm seal can do. ”

"It's a good thing." Liu Ziqi said worriedly, "It's just that I'm afraid it's too late to clear the dredging now." ”

Gu Yun put down the porridge bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with relief, "The Sihe River is dredged every year, and it may not break the embankment this year." ”

Liu Ziqi bowed his head, he also finished his meal, and said to Liuzi on the side, "Prepare the car and go to Mengjia Village." ”

The six sons responded and went down to feed the horses, Liu Ziqi and Gu Yun went downstairs, and the three of them went to Mengjia Village.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, a few men were releasing water in the field, and it rained overnight yesterday, and a lot of water accumulated in the field.

Liu Ziqi got out of the car and asked them, "Dare to ask brother, where does Meng Qingyun's family live?" ”

A few men who were busy shouted at Meng Dafu at the head of the ground when they heard this, "Dafu, quickly, your relatives are here." ”

Meng Dafu walked over from the ground barefoot, looked at Liu Ziqi, and saw that he was richly dressed and extraordinary, and he didn't know him, so he hurriedly said to a few people in the same village, "What nonsense are you talking about, where is this my relative." ”

"How not? This person inquired about Uncle Qingyun! A man from the same village said.

Liu Ziqi looked at Meng Dafu and said suspiciously, "Who is this little brother from Meng Qingyun?" ”

He didn't remember what Meng Qingyun looked like, and guessed whether Meng Dafu in front of him should be Meng Qingyun's son.

"Are you looking for Uncle Qingyun?" Meng Dafu asked.

Liu Ziqi nodded, "Little brother, can you take me to Meng Qingyun's house?" ”

"Do you know Uncle Qingyun?" Meng Dafu was a little strange how Meng Qingyun could know such a son, and then thought that Meng Qingyun had been to the capital when he was young, and listening to this person's accent did not look like that of the North.

"It's an old friend." Liu Ziqi said, "We haven't seen each other for many years, and this time I just came to Changkui to visit him by the way." ”

Meng Dafu nodded, "No wonder, Uncle Qingyun passed away a year ago. ”

Liu Ziqi's expression changed slightly, "Meng Qingyun passed away?" Is there anyone else in his house? ”

"Yes, yes." Meng Dafu comforted, "After Uncle Qingyun went, the third aunt led Fei Ge'er's mother and son to still be in the village." ”

"Little brother, can you take me to his house to have a look?" Liu Ziqi said, "Even if the old man is gone, since I am here, I should visit his family." ”

Meng Dafu thought that Liu Sanniang's life was difficult, if these two nobles helped, their mother and son's life might be better.

He nodded and said, "Cheng, you wait for me." ”

Seeing that the water in the field was almost gone, Meng Dafu went to the ridge to pick up his shoes, and after putting them on, he said to Liu Ziqi, "Come with me." ”

Liu Ziqi didn't take the carriage anymore, Gu Yun also jumped off the carriage, the two followed Meng Dafu to the village, and the six sons followed behind in a car.

Liu Ziqi inquired with Meng Dafu, "Does Meng Qingyun still have a daughter?" I saw that girl many years ago, and now it's thirteen or fourteen, right? ”

Meng Dafu saw that he even knew this, so he didn't hide it, and said, "Uncle Qingyun has a daughter, after he died, the family's land property was divided, and the third aunt couldn't support their sister and brother, so the eldest girl got married." ”

He was embarrassed to say that Yu Jiao was sold, and said with a sincere smile, "The eldest girl of Uncle Qingyun's family happened to marry my daughter-in-law's mother's brother, and she is a relative in the village." ”

Liu Ziqi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that if Meng Qingyun's eldest daughter was really plain, she should be high, but she was living a life like this, what should he do, if not, then he ...... All along hopes were dashed.

He couldn't wait to meet Meng Qingyun's widow and the eldest girl who had already married.

Meng Dafu led the two to the gate of the dilapidated courtyard of Liu Sanniang's house, and said, "Two sons, let's arrive." ”

The door of Liu Sanniang's small courtyard is closed, since Meng Qingyun's death, their family has not interacted with the people in the village, firstly, they are afraid of gossip, and secondly, the Meng family uncle is not easy to mess with, and often go to Liu Sanniang's house to rummage and search things, and now Liu Sanniang's house can be seen The things that can be seen are all taken away by the Meng family.

Meng Dafu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, Liu Sanniang's weak voice came from the courtyard, "Ah? ”

"The third aunt is me, Dafu." Meng Dafu said loudly.

Meng Dafu and his family helped the family a lot, Liu Sanniang heard the sound and stepped forward to open the courtyard door, and saw two extraordinary young people standing next to Meng Dafu, she was a little frightened and said, "Dafu, what's the matter with you?" ”
