Chapter 638: Relatives Meet
"Daddy."
"What are you doing?"
Two children's voices rang out from the backyard, and a woman walked briskly with her two children.
The woman glanced at Cao Lao and the others cautiously, and frowned.
After the young man and the woman got married, he never brought the woman to see Cao Lao, so the woman did not know Cao Lao.
The woman could only see that Cao Lao and the few young people standing behind Cao Lao were well-dressed, as if they were from prominent backgrounds.
She was a little worried, worried that the rich family had found their family, and these people had been sent by the rich family to embarrass them.
The young man smiled, patted the woman on the shoulder, and whispered.
"Don't be afraid. This is my loved one. ”
The woman was stunned when she heard this, and then nodded silently, she also saw the expression on Cao Lao's face.
The old man's eyes were red with excitement, and it seemed that it should indeed be his husband's family, but he didn't know ......
The woman's eyes moved slightly, and she glanced at Chen Mu and the others again, and she said in a low voice.
"Are the latter ones also your relatives?"
When the young man heard the woman's words, he was stunned.
He frowned, retracted his gaze and glanced behind Cao Lao, and when he saw Chen Mu and the others, he shook his head silently.
Chen Mu and the others were well-dressed, and the young man standing behind Chen Mu was wearing a long knife around his waist, and at first glance he was an extraordinary person.
This young man knew Cao Lao's ability, but he didn't know that Cao Lao had entered Beijing as an official.
Now that he noticed these people, he thought that these people were Cao Lao's patrons, and they were looking for Cao Lao.
He said to his wife.
"Don't be rude, those people are amazing big shots."
The woman nodded silently and agreed.
Seeing this, Chen Mu only hooked his lips and smiled slightly, but he didn't say much.
Old Cao sighed and sighed, he pulled the young man towards the house, Chen Mu and Master Ye saw this and looked at each other.
Chen Mu was about to turn around and wait back on the carriage, when he saw Cao Lao suddenly stop, and turned his head to attack himself.
Old Cao said with a respectful expression.
"My lord, come and sit in the hall with me, it's too aggrieved to sit in the carriage."
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement.
When the young man heard Cao Lao say this, he glanced at Chen Mu with some embarrassment.
His house was really very small, and he thought that it might be better to let this adult go back to his carriage than to let this adult sit in the family hall.
It's just that Cao Lao has already spoken, but the young man didn't say anything, and led Chen Muxing to the hall and sat down with Cao Lao, and the young man asked his wife to prepare hot tea.
Cao Lao raised his head and looked around, and a little helplessness appeared in his eyes.
Just now, he went to the old house where the young man lived before, and saw the scale of the old house, and now when he compares it, he feels that the environment of this house is not good.
Cao Lao sighed leisurely and turned his head to look at the young man.
"Wait a while, pack up your things, and move back as soon as possible."
The young man was stunned and smiled bitterly, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something, when a spirit remembered something.
The young man looked up at Cao Lao, a little surprised, not knowing how Cao Lao found himself.
Seeing the young man like this, Cao Lao also understood what the young man was thinking, he sighed and explained to the young man what he and Chen Mu and the others had just done.
The young man's eyes widened in shock, then he shook his head silently,
"The rich man was arrested, and there were county orders that supported him, if anyone related to the rich family could be punished."
"If they don't dare to come to me and my family in the future, then I'm willing to move back, but the house has been abandoned for a long time......"
If you move back, I'm afraid you won't be able to live in it immediately, and you have to have someone tidy up the house.
The young man was a little cramped when he said this, and he had no extra silver in his hand.
As soon as Cao Lao saw the young man like this, he saw the thoughts in the young man's heart, this young man used to be a small landlord and had some surplus silver in his hand.
Later, when all the tenant farmers were dismissed, he gave the surplus silver to the peasants, who cultivated the land for him in his house, and treated them like relatives to the family.
But because of the seizure of the land, the young people could not afford to support the peasant households, so they had to give them money to send them away.
The farmers didn't want to collect money before they left, but the young man knew that it would not be so easy for them to leave their farms and find a job outside.
So he insisted on handing over the money to them, and the peasants had no choice but to take the money and leave.
Now when I go back, I need money to repair my house, and I need money to hire new tenant farmers.
But the family had no extra money in their hands, and they had to save a little more, the young man thought.
He looked up at Cao Lao, and was about to say something, when he saw Cao Lao take out a cloth bag from his arms and put it in his hand.
The cloth bag was heavy, and the young man didn't need to open the cloth bag to check it, and he could find out what was inside the cloth bag.
He looked at Cao Lao in shock, shook his head again and again, he thought that his uncle was old, and the silver had to be kept for the other party's pension, and he failed to fulfill his filial piety to Cao Lao, which was already considered unfilial.
Now if you still want to collect Cao Lao's silver......
The young man's eyes were red and he felt a little guilty.
Seeing the young man like this, Cao Lao naturally saw what the young man was thinking at a glance.
He sighed, waved his hand carelessly, and pushed the silver back into the young man's hand, and then spoke.
"You don't have to worry about anything else, I have a lot of money in my hand, and I'm not the ordinary fortune teller who lives in a small town."
"I serve in Beijing, observing celestial phenomena for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, judging the weather in various places, and I am also in an important position."
"And in addition to me, your other two uncles are also in that official mansion, and we can be regarded as prosperous."
"Hahaha, this silver is only a part of my money, and I still have a lot of it."
His eyebrows fluttered, and the young man was stunned for a moment.
When Cao Lao's voice fell, the young man's eyes widened in shock, this was really soaring.
He didn't expect his uncle to work in Beijing, and he sat up straight in disbelief.
"Are you telling the truth? Your luck is so good, this is really beyond my expectations, great, you have to be careful in Beijing, uncle. ”
"The officialdom of the capital is deep, if someone intends to be unfavorable to you, you ...... It's okay for you to unload your armor and return to the field, come to our Zhuangzi, and I will also support you. ”
Seeing the young man like this, the smile on Cao Lao's face deepened a little, he had to be reused by His Royal Highness the Prince.
With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, no one dared to touch him.
He turned his head and glanced in the direction of Chen Mu, and saw that Chen Mu had a calm expression on his face, and Cao Lao felt embarrassed and sighed.
