"If you don't have any money, you can tell your father and mother that our family is rich now, and we can still get this bit of silver. Don't grieve yourself in terms of living expenses. My mother knows you, and I'd rather be wronged than open my mouth with my family. ”

"The second sister often sends me silver, and there is no shortage at all. You can rest assured! Hanguan blurted out.

Seeing that the two elders were looking at him, Qingwan smiled indifferently: "What kind of big deal is this?" Dad, mother, you have also seen, my little shop is still prosperous, and the daily profit is also a lot, the eldest brother only has occasional contacts with his classmates, all of them are a little money, I am a sister to give him, isn't it all deserved? What is there to talk about? ”

"Okay, good," He's eyes were slightly wet, "In the Guozi Prison, you must get along well with your classmates, and you must exchange courtesies, don't be thin." ”

"By the way, second brother, that Wan Jian, what is it like now?" Qingwan suddenly remembered.

Hanguan shook his head: "It's nothing, I haven't been running outside much lately, I'm just immersed in reading." Second sister, you always ask him what he does? ”

"Nothing different than reading?"

Hanguan thought for a while: "I don't like to chat like before, and everyone I see is indifferent." Second sister, what's going on? ”

"It's nothing," Qingwan said with a straight face: "This Wan Jian is a member of the Su family." I'm just a little worried. ”

Hanguan disagreed, and said with a smile: "Second sister, you are always with Brother Lu, and you think too much." I don't know how many people are under the Su family. Those who are in important positions are countless, he is a student of the country, who can take him seriously? Now that the Su family has made a mistake, he can't dodge, what else can he do? ”

"It's okay." Qingwan still advised: "Anyway, you have to be cautious everywhere, now it is not as good as before, the situation in the government and the opposition is turbulent, and the students of Guozijian are all from official eunuchs, so it is inevitable that they will be a little involved." ”

"Second sister, don't worry, I remember everything." Hanguan also nodded seriously.

"You guys are chatting here, and my mother will go to the kitchen to cook something to eat, and treat you. It's been a lot of trouble these days, and everyone is exhausted. It's easy to reunite today, but you have to rest. He said, about to roll up his sleeves and go to the kitchen.

"Mother, don't leave yet, I still have a few words, I have to say to your second elder."

"What?" Ho stopped.

Qingwan thought about it again and again for half a day, and still told Wei Changrong about following the Su family as a military advisor.

Hearing this, Qing Boding's face suddenly changed angrily, and he was furious: "This old six! I won't talk about the past, but I'm still camping to this point! and the Su family! It's really unbearable! ”

"Dad, don't be angry about this," Han Guan hurriedly said: "No matter what the sixth uncle does, he is the one who has done his own thing, who can stop it?" The sixth uncle has always been greedy for wealth and wealth, and it is not surprising that he did such a thing. ”

Qing Boding coughed angrily one after another: "I naturally know him!" Since childhood, that kind of vanity is destined to be a restless person! It's just that I didn't expect to be able to do such a big thing! This guy is clever, if he gives the Su family some bad ideas, wouldn't this battle be even more difficult? ”

"Didn't you say that too? The sixth uncle is smart, and the Su family is not in line with the people now, and there is no one who wants to find a smart person. Only the sixth uncle followed them. What good ideas can you come up with? ”

"Alas," He sighed lightly, "After all, we are a family, and we have lived in the village for so many years in the past, and we all have the same blood. I remember when I first got married, the sixth child was still young, and he always pestered me and asked me to get him this and that. Later, when he grew up, he read a lot of books, and his temperament became arrogant, and when idlers couldn't see it, we were estranged from him. ”

As soon as she said this, Qing Boding's mood also became complicated, and after a while, he sighed as if giving up: "That's it, the past has passed, and the current road is his own way, and no one can do anything." If there is really a day when he is escorted to Beijing, let's go and see him, and it will be regarded as a brotherhood. ”

"I just want you to be prepared." Qingwan said: "If the sixth uncle enters Beijing, we naturally have to take a look at him." ”

"You talk to your father, be relieved, and your mother will prepare food." He was just about to leave, but was stopped by Qingwan: "Mother, don't prepare anything, just steam some nests." How long has it been since I've eaten this? I've never dreamed of it! ”

He smiled: "You girl, it turns out that our family is poor, and we can barely steam a little nest, and you children are sensible, and you never ask for much." What, now I think about it again? ”

"That's natural," Qingwan said with a smile, "That's what I'm thinking about!" ”

"It's a pity that your eldest sister and Guang'er are still missing today, if the whole family can get together, it would be great!"

Thinking of the two children thousands of miles away, He frowned.

"Old woman, don't nag!" Qing Boding said: "Didn't the two children still have a letter yesterday?" Everything is fine, what else are you worried about? Saying this, everyone is upset! ”

"Yes, yes, look at my fool!" He Shi hurriedly said: "Your eldest sister and Guang'er's letters have been sent, I'll take them for you!" ”

Saying that, he went into the room and took it out and handed it to Qingjuan, and when the sisters and brothers looked at it together, they saw that the above one was written by Hanjuan, saying that he was in good health, so he didn't have to worry about it, and when he could travel a long distance, he would immediately come over to see the second elder and other words. The second letter is light, with not many words, only saying that the kung fu has made great progress and everything is safe. In the end, he will soon be able to make achievements and add glory to his parents' faces.

Hanguan couldn't help laughing: "This second brother! The words are still so ugly! The sentence doesn't make sense, and writing such a letter can be regarded as embarrassing for him! ”

Everyone laughed. Qingwan said: "I don't know what these last few sentences mean? Make a difference? What is he going to do? ”

"Whatever!" Hanguan didn't take it to heart: "He's always so ambitious!" By the way, second sister, do you know where to sell the best inkstones? I want to buy a few parties and give them away. ”

In this way, Qingwan's thoughts were interrupted, and while chatting, it was time for lunch.

On this day, the sister and brother didn't go anywhere, talking with their parents, and it wasn't until the end of the day that Hanguan reluctantly left.

The next day, the first thing Qingwan did when he arrived at the shop was to ask Changyong and Chengyong to hire a maid. After a short while, he brought five male servants and four maids. Qingwan wanted to hire an older maid, so that she could talk to her parents and work more steadily than a young maid.

After reading it and asking a few more questions, Qingwan selected two men, two women and four servants and asked Changyong to send them to the house.

Lu Xiufang is preoccupied, not as clear as before, always making mistakes in doing things, and talking to her is also a question that is not answered.

"Sister Fang, you say, where should the army go now? Will there be a shortage of supplies along the way? I don't know if it's snowing heavily, whether it's cold or not, whether I'm hungry or not? Lu Xiufang said suddenly.

Qingwan was a little funny: "Sister, you are worrying about the sky." For such a big matter, the officials of the state governments along the way have long been regarded as the top priority, how dare they not take it seriously? As for the weather, how can it be controlled by manpower? As for freezing and starving, then you don't have to worry, although this expedition is in a hurry, it is well prepared, not to mention General Zhu Xiao, even a soldier and a pawn will not endure hardship. ”

"That's good," Lu Xiufang finally showed a reassuring smile: "I'm afraid"

"Look at your soulless appearance, I heard people say that you haven't even eaten breakfast, this is not good. If you are hungry and thin, and General Zhu Xiao comes back, how can I explain to him? ”

"I can't eat it." Lu Xiufang bowed her head slightly, "I'm always in my heart"

"Sister, this won't work." Qingwan persuaded bitterly: "You have to know that General Zhu Xiao is not an ordinary person, he is the pillar of the future country, it is inevitable that the south and the north will fight, you have to get used to this kind of life, not only take care of the house, so that he has no worries, you also have to be stronger, you can't always have children's personal feelings, and there are many family and country affairs, all of which are on you!" ”

"Sister Fang, I remember everything you said." Lu Xiufang wiped her tears and said gratefully: "It will definitely not be like before." I know the burden on me. ”

"This is my good sister!"

"The people of the Su family have been escorted to the execution ground! Execution is going to be carried out at three o'clock in the afternoon! ”

"Quick! Let's go! That's a pleasure! ”

The noisy sound of people outside the door attracted everyone in the shop, and the aunt and sister-in-law also stood up and hurriedly walked out.

Sure enough, a group of soldiers came first, followed by many escorted pawns, the Su family up and down, there were two or three hundred, after several days of interrogation, this time except for some housekeepers and henchmen who had done crimes, the rest were pardoned, so only a few dozen people were escorted over today.

The leader is Su Mo's wife, whose once handsome face is no longer what it looks like, and her long hair is deliberately scattered to cover most of it, but Rao is like this, and he can still see the current embarrassment from his stumbling steps.

"This is the young grandmother of the Su family, right?"

"Naturally! Hmph, it's time for her to have this retribution, I heard that she once took a fancy to a piece of jewelry, and didn't give a penny of silver, so she sent someone to forcibly come to the door to rob it, and then the woman of that family, because of this incident, was angry and had a serious illness, and she died for this! ”

"Not really! I've also heard that whatever she likes, she has to do whatever it takes to get it! It's not that the Su family is supporting her! ”

Someone else said, "What is this?" I have a relative who used to work in Su Fuzhong, saying that this young grandmother treats her subordinates very harshly, and beats and punishes her at every turn, and I don't know how many subordinates have died in her hands! ”

"Even on the street, I've seen it, if I don't agree with a word, I ask my subordinates to kick and beat, and there is an old man who hit her unintentionally, and he was beaten back and didn't save her!"
