Inside the room, Jian Xuan sat on the recliner with a few case files beside him, and looked at Jian Xuan and said, "Why didn't you lie on the bed and rest more, and you started to read the files?" Grandpa He said that your wound is very deep and needs to be taken care of? ”

Jian Xuan glanced at the food box in the hands of the three of Congxi, and said indifferently: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Although the house is not as good as Qufu, there are still people who cook soup and cook, and they don't work hard to deliver food and soup from the girl. After all, the girl has a husband, and it is not appropriate to go in and out of the house, please go back. ”

He walked to the table, put the food box on the table and said: "Jian Xuan, I said these words last time, can we change a paragraph, you are a third-class Tanhua, and there should be a lot of good works in your belly." ”

He walked from Xi to the stool next to Jian Xuan and sat down, took out a silver bracelet from his sleeve and handed it to Jian Xuan, saying, "The thing will be returned to its original owner." ”

Jian Xuan glanced at the silver bracelet casually, his face was indifferent, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stared at the silver bracelet carefully for a moment, his complexion changed greatly, he was surprised, he reached out and grabbed the silver bracelet, and said excitedly: "How did this bracelet end up with you, how did you get it?"

Congxi: "More than ten years ago, didn't you and Aunt Lan rent a house in the capital to live, the landlord said. You didn't have the money to pay the rent at the time, so Aunt Lan gave them this silver bracelet, and my mother bought it back from the landlord's wife. ”

Jian Xuan pondered: "But I later looked for the landlord in the capital, and I found out that the landlord's family was poisoned by the enemy family half a year after we left, and the enemy family also took away all the landlord's belongings, and then sold the valuable belongings. Bought from my aunt, from my aunt. When was the bracelet redeemed? ”

Congxi looked at Jian Xuan and said in surprise: "The word 'Aunt Cong', why do you make you so embarrassed and unfamiliar, you called your mother 'Aunt Cong' back then, it was much kinder, Jian Xuan, what happened back then, did you have any misunderstanding about your mother?" ”

Jian Xuan frowned and was silent.

Congxi sighed: "Okay, I'll answer your question first." After we returned to Jinzhou, my mother and Aunt Lan wrote frequently and never broke contact, but a year later, my mother suddenly couldn't receive Aunt Lan's letters. About three or four months later, my mother was really worried about your safety, and I was worried about your safety day and night, so I went to the capital with my grandfather to look for you. It's gone, you didn't know where you were a month ago, your mother and grandfather searched in the capital for a month, but they didn't find any trace of you, and finally they had to return to Jinzhou when they were exhausted.

Mother inquired about you and Aunt Lan from the landlord, and saw that the landlady was wearing this bracelet, and the mother knew that it was a silver bracelet from Aunt Lan's family, and Aunt Lan also said that she would pass this bracelet to her daughter-in-law. What about your daughter-in-law? Although the landlady told her mother that Aunt Lan had been dead for half a month, her mother thought that if she found you, she would give you the silver bracelet and let you have a memory, so she paid some more money and bought the silver bracelet back from the landlady. ”

Jian Xuan stared at Congxi and said suspiciously: "You said that after Aunt Cong and you returned to Jinzhou for a year, you never received any letters from my mother, and you didn't know about my parents until you arrived in the capital?" ”

Cong Xi was puzzled: "Yes, my mother has always been puzzled, why didn't Aunt Lan tell her about you back then, Uncle Jian's affairs may not be of much help from home, but with the relationship between Aunt Lan and her mother, Aunt Lan asked her mother to tell her about the hardships, or after Uncle Jian's accident, Aunt Lan took you to Congjia, from home can at least ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, and you will not be treated coldly by the landlord in the capital?" Congxi paused, looked at Jian Xuan and asked, "Jian Xuan, what happened to you back then?"

Jian Xuan didn't answer and asked: "I really went to the capital to look for us, and I looked for us for a month?" ”

Congxi nodded: "Well, what are you suspecting?" Back then, my mother and Aunt Lan had such a close relationship, all because of Aunt Lan, our mother and son were in the capital for a few years, so that they would not starve to death, and my mother was even more grateful to Aunt Lan. Mother is worried about your safety and goes to the capital to look for you, why is it strange? If the mother had never been to the capital again, how could she redeem the silver bracelet from the landlady? ”

Jian Xuan stroked the bracelet and said, "That's right, if my aunt hadn't been back to the capital, she wouldn't have known that the bracelet was in the hands of the landlord, and she wouldn't have had the opportunity to redeem it." Jian Xuan looked at Congxi and said with relief: "And with your identity today, it seems that you don't have to deliberately take out the silver bracelet to attach it to me?" ”

Puzzled: "Jian Xuan, what are you talking about?" Is it because I haven't seen you for many years, you suspect that I am just a mercenary villain, and in order to please you, the magistrate, I have repeatedly sought opportunities to approach you? Jian Xuan, you really look down on people, when did you become such a villain, could it be that we were in the capital, and the affection that we had been together for four years day and night really didn't leave anything here for you? ”

Jian Xuan was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have maliciously speculated about you, it's just... When my father was imprisoned in an accident, my mother spent a lot of money to pay the jailers in order to make my father suffer less torture, but the family's savings were limited, so my mother wrote a letter to inform my aunt of my father's situation and borrowed money from my aunt, but my aunt never replied. Later, my father was assigned to the frontier, and my mother was worried that my father would suffer on the road, so she wanted to play another escort officer, so she wrote a letter to borrow money from her aunt, but her aunt still did not reply. ”

Congxi was surprised: "How come?" The mother said that she did not receive the letter from Aunt Lan, and only learned about Uncle Jian and Aunt Lan when she arrived in the capital. Moreover, in the few months when I didn't receive Aunt Lan's letters, my mother also wrote several letters to ask Aunt Lan about your situation, but Aunt Lan didn't reply. Did Aunt Lan receive a letter from her mother? ”

Jian Xuan shook his head: "No." ”

Congxi sighed, and then understood: "I understand, you think that your mother received Aunt Lan's letter, but she is unwilling to lend you money, and you stand by and watch your hardships back then, and you will not save you when you die." You and Aunt Lan have a grudge against your mother because of this, so today, you can avoid me and Congran. ”

Jian Xuan said a little relaxed: "It seems that there was a misunderstanding, there was some accident at the post post back then, and the letter was not delivered to each other, it was me and my mother who misunderstood my aunt." ”

Congxi: "So quickly relieved of your doubts and no longer doubted your mother?" ”

Jian Xuan stroked the silver bracelet and said: "The silver bracelet is physical evidence, if Aunt Cong is really as ruthless as we misunderstood, Aunt Cong will not buy back this silver bracelet even if she sees it." If your aunt has never been to the capital, you shouldn't know that the silver bracelet is in the hands of the landlady. ”

Congxi sighed again, looked at Jian Xuan, looked at Jian Xuan, and still asked: "Really make people, Jian Xuan, my mother and grandfather found out back then, you left the landlord's house with Aunt Lan's corpse on your back, and no one saw you again." Mother and grandfather thought that you were penniless and unable to bury Aunt Lan, so they should have taken Aunt Lan to the mass grave, but they turned over the mass grave in the capital several times, and they didn't find Aunt Lan's name, let alone find your information, where did you go later? ”

Jian Xuan said with a wry smile and a hint of emotion: "Then I don't suspect Aunt Cong, I did go to the mass grave at that time, and when I arrived at the mass grave, I put my mother on the ground, and I laboriously dug a grave pit to bury my mother." But my mother is my only relative in the world, and I am reluctant to put my mother in the grave, I want to see more, and I want to see more.... It took two days and I was reluctant to bury my mother. On the third day, I met a kind-hearted person at the mass grave, when he was poor, his relatives were also buried in the mass grave, and now he earns some family business, and wants to find the bones of his relatives and bury them well. Seeing that I was pitiful, the kind-hearted man helped me buy a cemetery, put a good coffin on it, and buried my mother in the cemetery in the capital. Later, he asked me to go back to Liaozhou with him, but I met a mountain bandit on the way, and the kind-hearted man was killed. And because I was the same age as the son of the bandit leader, I was left to be the playmate of the bandit's son. Jian Xuan's voice was calm, as if he was telling someone else's story.

Congxi said softly: "No wonder you have so many scars on your back, you were coerced by the mountain bandits and helped the mountain bandits to do things, why were you able to take the exam later?" ”

Jian Xuan was bland: "I sold the mountain bandits, the camp where the mountain bandits are located is dangerous, and the leaders of the mountain bandits have some talents, the mountain bandits are strictly disciplined, they work together to the outside world, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and the court has been difficult to capture for a long time." I found the local government and was willing to do their internal response, and cooperate with them to eradicate all the mountain bandits. ”

Congxi lowered his eyebrows and was silent for a while, staring at Jian Xuan's gaze and said, "Has the past been over?" ”

Jian Xuan glanced at Congxi and said: "I actually don't want to believe that Aunt Cong is a person who is treacherous and miserly. In addition to my parents, I feel that my aunt and you are the closest people to me, so I have to believe that when my aunt is ruthless, my heart is cold. Plus: When I meet the landlord and the like, I think that everyone in the world is heartless and ruthless, and they are all puppets manipulated by various interests and losses. ”

Jian Xuan paused for a moment and took a long breath: "I only realized today, maybe I was wrong, at least Aunt Cong didn't abandon us back then, and the world is not all cold and ice, the past is just the past, take me to make amends to Aunt Cong another day." ”

Congxi nodded: "Okay, you should really pay a good tribute to your mother, she took care of you for so long, if you don't come to confront your mother, you will convict her, you are really incompetent as a magistrate." ”

Jian Xuanwaner: "It's my fault, but I've only been doing the position of official for a few days." ”

Congxi: "Is that your incompetence as a person?" ”

Jian Xuan smiled: "Let's push the official." ”

Congxi looked at Jian Xuan and said happily: "Jian Xuan, you are still the Brother Jian I know after all, and you look as good when you smile as before, you should smile more." ”
