Inside a small courtyard in the water village.

Xiao was accompanying his mother, chatting about the extension of this time, seeing that his old mother was already full of gray hair, Xiao Shi was complaining about the second son.

At the beginning, the old mother loved Yan'er's bastard boy the most, but the kid grew up and left the house, and he didn't come back to see the old mother once in the past two years.

"Grandmother!"

Yun Han, who was dressed in cloth, walked over and stood beside Xiao, holding a child who had just been born and was crying profusely.

When my grandmother saw Yun Han, she nodded with a smile and was about to reach out to hold her great-grandson.

"You! Don't complain about Yan'er, you didn't complain less when you were a child, when he was wronged, I didn't see you fighting for him, and now it's hard to have a chance outside, how can you blame you for not going home. ”

The grandmother hugged the child and said to the child.

It is also strange to say that the crying child was in the arms of the grandmother, and the grandmother did not coax much, but shook it gently and rhythmically, and the child's crying gradually became smaller.

When Yun Han on the side saw this, his eyes were full of envy.

Yun Han, a first-time mother, has lost a lot of weight since she had a son, and the biggest reason is that she doesn't know much about taking her son, and she has to wake up every night, so she inevitably has to disturb her mother.

"Mother! I can't say it, I can't say it! ”

Xiao Shi looked at his mother and blamed himself for complaining about Yan'er, and looked helpless.

No matter where it is, no matter when, his mother still doesn't allow others to say that Yan'er is not.

It's been that way for more than a decade, and it hasn't changed.

Even though Yan'er is no longer in the village, even if Yan'er hasn't returned home to visit her once for two years.

Xiao Shi looked not far away.

Shui Shou, Shui Shou Daddy, and the eldest brother Xiao Ma were chatting, and a trace of loneliness flashed in Xiao Shi's eyes.

This family has become better and better in the past two years, there are more and more things in the family, some fertile land has been bought, there is a ploughing cow, and Shou'er has become a father and has his own wife and children.

But only in this family, there is one figure missing.

Just like beside the stone bench where Shui Shou, Shui Shou's father, and eldest brother Xiao Yu sat on, Yan'er also liked to sit there when she was a child.

Say it's to blame.

But as a mother, she has missed her son more than anyone else in the past two years.

It's cold, you can have clothes to wear, you can be bullied outside, you can meet a woman you like, and you are not tired when you work.

"Yan'er it!"

Suddenly, there was movement outside Xiaoyuan.

Xiao Shi came back to his senses and turned his head to look, and his grandmother, Yun Han, and Shui Shou and others not far away also looked over.

When I saw the four people of Uncle, Zitai, Zilu, and Ying.

Whether it was Xiao's family, Shui Shou, or Yun Han, they couldn't help frowning slightly.

Yan's father got up, stepped forward with Xiao Mata, and saluted the uncle and Zitai.

"Brother, today?"

Father Yan asked softly.

The two people on the side didn't give the two in front of him a good face, but his father didn't have any scruples about him.

At this time, Yun Han had also supported Shui Shou and came behind Yan's father.

"Brother Zhong, there is indeed something to do for my brother today!"

The uncle saw his father and said with a smile.

After saying this, the uncle was not in a hurry to say it, and the Xiao family, who was not far away, saw the uncle's appearance, and had a vague bad premonition in his heart.

Xiao knows very well what the uncle's family is, and he has come here cheekily to ask for money, and even wants to seek land.

Now he looks confident, I'm afraid that there is some ghost idea in my heart.

"Brother, sit!"

Father Yan thought for a moment and said softly.

Then he took the uncle, Zitai, and Zilu to the stone bench where to sit down.

Inside the yard.

The uncle didn't hide it at this time, and bluntly said his idea of going to Qin, and hoped that Yan's father's family could contribute some money first, and when he came back, he would be able to double it.

"Qin State? Brother, is this going to Qin again? ”

Father Yan was a little surprised when he heard his brother's words.

At this time.

Not far away, he was doing it with his mother, and when he heard his uncle's words, he hurriedly spoke before his father spoke.

"Yun Han, go to the house and get ten dollars out to give to the uncle, although our family is already too poor to open the pot, but it is a big deal for the uncle to go to the Qin State, and our family will do our best to help the uncle no matter what!"

Xiao said to his eldest daughter-in-law, Yun Han.

Yun Han, who was next to Shui Shou, heard his mother's words, nodded quickly, and walked to the house as he spoke.

And the uncle's face is already gloomy at the moment, if you exaggerate a little, it can be said that the face is completely black.

"The original intention of this trip for my brother was to come for Yan'er, I never thought about it~!"

Uncle shook his head with a pretended sigh.

At this time.

Hearing the word Yan'er, everyone looked at the uncle, whether it was Shui Shou or Fang Cai who came out of the house, and the wife of the young man all looked at the uncle suspiciously.

Yan'er.

Why did Uncle suddenly mention Yan'er!

The grandmother, who was holding her great-grandson, also raised her head in confusion.

"Zilu, come on!"

Seeing the eyes of others at this time, the uncle turned his head arrogantly and asked Zilu to tell the matter.

Soon.

When everyone in the courtyard learned that Zilu had gone to Yicheng to look for Yan'er, but learned that Yan'er was not under Ling Shi's command at all, they all showed stunned expressions.

"Impossible!"

For the first time, he stood up and retorted loudly.

In the eyes of the Xiao family, if Yan'er was not in Yicheng, where did he get so much money?

Shui Shou, Yanfu and others also looked at Uncle and Zi Lu with doubts at this moment.

"Really, if Zilu has half a lie, there will be no corpse! If my uncle doesn't believe me, I can go to Yicheng! ”

Zilu saw those suspicious eyes, and said anxiously, even swearing.

In this world of believing in ghosts and gods and divination when traveling, unless you have complete certainty, otherwise such a vicious oath will never be said.

And Zilu's words.

Obviously, it also scared Yanfu, Shui Shou and others a lot.

If it was the uncle who said it at the beginning, everyone would not believe it, but Zi Lu is not as scheming as his father, let alone making such a poisonous oath now.

There is no room for disbelief!

Even when the Xiao clan heard Zilu's words, there was a faint panic on the originally calm face, could it be that Yan'er was really not in Yicheng?

Where is that Yan'er?

Thinking of this, Xiao's eyes couldn't help but redden.

"I said before that the person I saw in Xianyang was definitely Yan'er, and you still don't believe it! Hum! ”

Uncle saw that the time was almost right at this time, so he spoke.

"Hey, I'm afraid, all the money you get is Yan'er obtained as a slave in Xianyang."

Uncle got up and patted the shabby clothes on his body: "Well, since you don't want to drag me to bring some clothes, money, and some messages to Yan'er, then I will no longer be bored!" ”

After finishing speaking, the uncle looked at Zilu.

"Zi Lu, go home, tomorrow for my father, I will leave for Qin to pack my things for my father!"

Uncle is about to leave.

At this time, Yanfu and Shui Shou on the side were a little panicked, and hurriedly got up and showed a smile.

After all, it was related to Shui Yan, and Father Yan and Shui Shou were a little out of proportion for a while, and they didn't dare to let their uncle leave.

Because Zi Lu has already made a poisonous oath, and then think of Yan'er who has not returned home once in two years, and even his brother Shui Shou's marriage relatives have not returned, Zi Lu's words are likely to be true!

"Brother, sit down!"

Father Yan said with a smile.

Xiao Shi, who was not far away, also panicked at this time.

If she had always believed that her Yan'er was in Yicheng, then Zilu swore that she had been to Yicheng and had not seen anyone at all, which completely broke her cognition.

Later, Xiao also thought of going with Yan's father, why Yan'er didn't come back to visit once in two years, this is not Yan'er's character at all.

Come to think of it.

Xiao suddenly found that she seemed to have been deceived by the money before, and she had been deceiving herself.

"Xianyang!"

The aunt looked at the uncle of Shui Shou in the distance, her eyes were a little puzzled, and then she couldn't help but glance at the mother next to her.

When Yan'er left Linzi, she had seen Yan'er wearing a sword with her own eyes.

At that time, she wondered why Yan'er could wear a sword.

Now hearing Uncle Shuishou's words, when she thought that Yan'er was not in Yicheng, thinking about it, she vaguely felt that Yan'er would not really go to Qin State!

Inside the yard.

Just when everyone was bluffed by the uncle's words, Xiao was ready to let go of his tough attitude and was ready to ask.

Unexpectedly, the old woman holding the child on the side suddenly spoke.

"No need, the old woman knows where Yan'er is, so she won't bother with it!"

The grandmother looked at the child in her arms with a smile on her face.

"Ahh Mother, you know? ”

"Ahh

Mother, do you know where Yan'er is? ”

"Mother?"

Hearing the old woman's words, Yan's father, Xiao Ma, and Xiao all looked at their mothers with shocked expressions.

Shui Shou's aunt on the side was also full of surprise, her mother had been eating and living with her for the past two years, why hadn't she heard her mother say anything about Yan'er, and her mother's health had not been good, if it weren't for her great-grandson during this time, she rarely left the alley, how did her mother know now?

The old woman laughed! Where is Yan'er? How would the old woman know? ”

When the uncle heard the old woman's words, his face changed abruptly.

All the words to be said before coming were ready, but after thousands of calculations, I didn't expect that this old woman would come here to visit the Shui Shou family.

"Don't believe outsiders who say Yan'er is not good!"

The grandmother did not answer the uncle's words in a hurry, but raised her head, and on her old cheeks, she looked at her daughter Xiaoshi with a smile.

Yan'er, she didn't tell her daughter before, nor did she tell her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law.

Because no one will believe it.

Just like Tong Yan'er did when she was a child, no one believed it except her.

Now that she sees Uncle Shuishou, she won't tell what she knows, she never wants to see Uncle Yan'er's family, dragging the family to find her grandson Yan'er, causing trouble for Yan'er.

Although she has never left the Qi country with gray hair in her life, she has seen anything in the world.

But I was fortunate to be by Lu Ji's side, and learned that Qin Law was very strict, and there was even a matter of sitting together and using the title to atone for the crime.

If the uncle's family has an accident in the Qin State and goes to ask Yan'er, even if Yan'er is not implicated, if he is not saved, it is easy to be truthful, at least it will increase the trouble, and it will also leave an impression in the eyes of the King of Qin, and he is even more afraid that someone will use Uncle Yan'er's family to assassinate Yan'er.

"What does the old woman mean by that?"

When the uncle heard the words of Shui Shou's grandmother, his face became more and more embarrassed.

What is called don't believe in yourself!

Don't talk about the uncle at this moment, even the Zitai on the side, and the Ying family are worried, and the appearance of the old woman seems to make them feel that they are likely not to get the money today.

"Mother? Where is Yan'er? ”

Xiao Shi looked at his mother in a daze.

At this moment, Xiao Shi was very puzzled, if his mother knew where Yan'er was, why didn't she tell her.

Yun Han and her aunt on the side all looked at the old woman in a daze.

"When you should know, you naturally know, don't worry about Yan'er, worry about it, Yan'er has been growing up, and the person who loves him the most is me, an old woman!"

After the old woman finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the uncle.

This is not only telling the Xiao family, but also telling the uncle's family.

Under the watchful eye of the old woman.

Uncle and Zilu didn't dare to look directly at him, and even Zitai and Ying's were a little weak-hearted.

After all, they don't know where Yan'er is now.

"If you go to Qin State, you should go back and pack your luggage early, this is a long way, you need to take a lot of effort to prepare, you don't have to come here to worry about Yan'er's affairs."

Grandmother instructed.

This is to tell the uncle directly, don't put your mind here.

"Ten years ago, the old woman used a broom to drive away those who were not good to Yan'er, but now that she is old, she still loves her grandson, and she is a guest!"

The grandmother said to Shui Yan's uncle, and after finishing speaking, she directly asked Xiao Ma to send off the guest.

"Old woman, you!

！ ”

When the uncle heard the old woman's words, he was very angry, as a scholar, the uncle felt angry at the moment and had no place to speak.

"Dad, let's go!"

Zilu looked at the old woman holding the child, swallowed his saliva, and said softly.

Since the child Lu, I have seen that all the hair children around him have been driven away by the old woman with a broom, and now the old woman has bluntly said that if she doesn't leave, she will use a broom to drive people away.

Zilu didn't want this matter to make a fuss.

After all, they still have to see people in the future.

"Let's go!"

When the uncle heard Zilu's words, he looked at the old woman unwillingly, but now he was helpless, so he could only get up angrily, turn around and walk outside.

"Brother Zhong, you see that there is no food at home, and your parents are hungry, so you might as well give a little more money!"

Zitai thought about it, turned to Yan's father and said.

Since he came to the courtyard platform, he rarely spoke, which is also to prevent Zihuai from failing to ask for money, and he still has room for relaxation.

"Alas! Good! ”

When Yan's father heard Zitai's words, he remembered that his elderly parents were hungry, and in the end, even if he was angry in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

After all, they are parents, not enemies, and when they have the ability, they can't help but watch it.

"Yun Han, give it to your uncle!"

Xiao Shi naturally saw Yan's father's eyes, and he didn't blame Yan for his father's softness.

After all, Xiao also knows that discord is not harmony, and dislike is dislike.

But in that family, the second elder is Yan'er and Shui Shou's grandfather and grandmother after all, and it is impossible to watch them starve.

What's more.

Now the Xiao family has no intention of scrupling about Zitai, and wishes that Zitai and the others would leave early.

At present, what the Xiao family cares about most is Yan'er.

"Zitai spends less, the money of these three times is enough for our family to have more than a year's worth of grain."

Xiao Shi watched Zitai take the money from his eldest daughter-in-law and asked softly.

This is also a reminder not to take too much privately, how much money to buy and how much grain millet, everyone knows in their hearts.

"Alas~ good!"

Zitai took the money, looked at the coins in his hand, looked happy, nodded and couldn't wait to turn around and leave.

Zilu and Yingshi also followed.

Inside the yard.

With the departure of the uncles, they soon became quiet again.

"Mother, do you really know where Yan'er is?"

Xiao Shi looked at his mother anxiously.

However, looking at the appearance of his mother who was not in a hurry, Xiao, who was already about forty, was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"What do you say?"

The grandmother looked at her daughter and said angrily.

Under the watchful eye of my aunt on the side.

Even the young man who came back after closing the fence looked at his mother with a puzzled expression.

"Mother, how do you know where Yan'er is? Aren't you always at home? Where is Na Yan'er at this time, it's been two years, and she hasn't returned home once. ”

Omamata asked.

Matsumata looked at his wife and saw that her wife, who was standing next to her mother, also shook her head at her, indicating that she didn't know.

Seeing this, Xiao Ma frowned, looked at her mother, and was very worried that her mother was telling lies.

After all, Uncle Shuishou's family is very clear.

"You've heard it too, but you don't remember, don't ask so much, you won't believe it if you say it, just wait with peace of mind!"

The grandmother looked at her eldest son and said angrily.

If the eldest son, daughter and others are the kind of people who are willing to believe in Yan'er, she will not hide it.

And now, for the eldest son and daughter who have not believed in Yan'er since childhood, even if they say it, they will not believe it, who will believe Bai Yan, the Qin general whose reputation has spread in Linzi for more than a year.

It's Yan'er who grew up under their noses since she was a child!

"Good~!"

Looking at the child in her arms, my grandmother remembered that once again, even Mao Jiao, the high-ranking secretary of the Qin State, came to see her, a village woman.

recalled the words of Shangqing Maojiao at that time.

My grandmother's heart was full of thoughts.

Yan'er has grown up! Really grew up!

has become a great general who commands a lot of soldiers!

She waited, and one day, the young man who knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her at the Linzi City Gate returned to that alley to see her, the old woman.

Inside the yard.

Whether it is Yan's father, or Xiao Mata, or Shui Shou, looking at Yan'er's grandmother's appearance that will never speak, they all look helpless.

Xiao Shi was even more angry and didn't bother to accompany his mother anymore, but followed his wife to make food, regardless of the fact that her mother came all the way over, and her daughter did not accompany her mother.

The other side.

As night came, at Shui Shou's grandfather's house, two men came today.

One is fat and the other is thin, and both have a little beard.

This night, the uncle, who had not raised any money, listened to the two men talking about how the Chu State was, his eyes gradually turned red, and he fantasized about the dream of glory and wealth in the future, and he had no worries about food and clothing.

In the end, after the uncle glanced at his son Zilu, he turned his head and asked the two men if they could take Zilu to Chu as well.

This made grandfather, grandmother, and even Zilu, Zitai, Yingshi and others all stunned.

I don't understand why Uncle would say such a ridiculous question.

Only Cen Qing felt the malicious eyes of the two men, and after hearing her father's words, her body trembled very vaguely.

........

Qi Linzi, Tian's mansion.

Tian Feiyan wore a white fox fur, knelt in the study, and looked at the bamboo slips sent by the Lu family's shop.

Next to the fire.

A unique scent wafts through.

Accompanied by the fragrance, the whole study room gives people a feeling as if they have improved a lot of taste, making the already exquisite study room feel more unique and comfortable.

A man knelt on the ground and whispered something to write.

After a long time.

Tian Feiyan looked at the bamboo slips and breathed a relaxed sigh.

"It's fine!"

Tian Feiyan listened to the man kneeling on the ground in front of him, and was glad that his grandmother happened to be in Shui Village at that time.

At this time, Tian Feiyan realized that he still underestimated Uncle Shuishou's black heart.

Or rather, greed.

actually specially let his son not travel far away, and secretly sold his land to go to Yicheng to find out the news of Shui Yan.

"After that family leaves, can you give up?"

Tian Feiyan thought of something, looked at the man, and asked softly.

And the man who was kneeling on the ground to report saw Tian Feiyan's eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head and told what had happened in the past two days.

"That woman deserves it!"

Tian Feiyan listened and listened, and when he heard that the uncle behind him was desperate, he wanted to go to Chu State, and he wanted to be red-eyed, so he actually sold his eldest daughter-in-law to others, and shook his head.

Such a ruthless and unrighteous person, even if he turns over and lets his son marry again in the future, he is destined to be honest and be caught.

And for the woman.

If it was usual, Tian Feiyan might have heard it, so he couldn't help but feel pity and feel pity for this woman.

However, two years ago, after learning what happened to the boy at his grandfather's house, he was despised by the women and his family.

Now, two years later, I see the best woman in it come down.

Tian Feiyan didn't have a trace of sympathy in his heart.

Deserve!

You deserve it! Even if it is sold, it is well deserved!

Tian Feiyan is not like those gentle scholar women, who are full of worries and worries about benevolence, righteousness and morality, beautiful and gentle, virtuous and virtuous.

"By the way, that woman was bought into Zhao Guo! You go to do something, I heard that my cousin Lu Qi took advantage of the chaos and bought the best restaurant in Yanmen Shanwu City, you want to find a way to arrange it, so that the woman can be bought in Yanmen Shanwu and ask someone to send it to that restaurant! ”

Tian Feiyan suddenly thought of something, a smile appeared on his pretty face, and the corners of his mouth rose.

"It's cheaper for her, although Shanwucheng is not as good as Handan, but it is also the first of a county, in terms of appearance, that woman can't enter the best restaurant."

Softly dripping, Tian Feiyan held a bamboo slip in his hand, propped it on his pretty face, showing laziness.

Tian Feiyan thought in his heart.

There are so many scholars in Yanmen, and I don't know what kind of expression that person will have when he sees this woman in the future.

When this woman saw that man, would she regret it?

When she saw the young man in the courtyard, she, along with the other women, despised the young man.

"No!"

When the man heard Tian Feiyan's words, he hurriedly took the order.

Although I don't know why Tian Feiyan arranged the woman like this, after all, if you don't like it, just ignore it completely, and the end will not be much better, and if you send it to Yanmen Shanwu, it is equivalent to saving the woman.

Thinking of this, the man was a little incomprehensible, but he still accepted the order without hesitation.

When he got up, seeing Tian Feiyan's smiling appearance, the man couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

Fortunately, it was not the first time, and after the man came back to his senses, he quickly gathered his thoughts, and his heart was as curious as usual.

In this world, is there really that man who can be worthy of the woman in front of him?

Inside the study.

Tian Feiyan looked at Hu Cong's departing figure.

"I'm going to write a letter to my cousin Lu Qi and look at the restaurant in Shanwu! How much money can be resold to me! lest this woman see that person in the future, and have thoughts that she should not have! ”
