Chapter 21: The Past

After being silent for a while, Chu Mohan just felt a little more relaxed, Chu Tianyi lay in front of the lady, lowered his chin and lowered his eyebrows and whispered:

"Lady, are we really going to the capital?! I've been a county magistrate for more than 20 years, and I haven't been promoted yet, so I'm embarrassed to go and see Tianren! ”

More than 20 years ago, Chu Tianren was just a head catcher under Chu Tianyi, and now, he is the prime minister of the dynasty, and he is above 10,000 people under one person.

When we meet again, I don't know how to face this old man.

Thirty years ago, on a snowy night, Mrs. Chu borrowed some money from her mother's family, and on the way back from buying rice, she saw two children hiding in the grass, shivering and pale.

If I don't take them back to keep warm tonight, I'm afraid I'll die in this meadow.

Mrs. Chu was kind-hearted, and after some struggle, she still took the two children back home.

And the Chu family, Chu Tianyi is an only son, because there are few children in the family, he is bullied by the children of the same village.

After seeing the two of them, Chu Tianyi didn't sleep all night happily!

Chu Laohan joined the army to fight, and died on the battlefield early, it was not easy for Mrs. Chu to pull Chu Tianyi, there were two more little dolls, and life was much more restrained.

Everyone persuaded Mrs. Chu to send these two away, and it was already very good to help them get through this winter!

Mrs. Chu shook her head, feeling that this was her fate.

In the spring of the following year, Mrs. Chu officially adopted the two children and named them Chu Tianren and Chu Tianjiao.

Since Chu Tianren was ten years old, he was already able to go up the mountain to hunt alone, and every time he went out, he would not be disappointed, every time Chu Tianyi was bullied, he would also ask Chu Tianyi to fight back with his fists!

Although Chu Tianren is one year younger than Chu Tianyi, he is much more mature than him!

Hunting in the mountains, farming at home, everything can be done perfectly, at the age of fifteen, he has never been to the school, and he was admitted to the children's school in one fell swoop.

Two years later, he was successfully admitted to Xiucai, and he was only seventeen years old that year.

Chu Tianyi was admitted to Tongsheng this year.

Being able to be admitted to Tongsheng at the age of eighteen can be regarded as amazing, but under Chu Tianren's comparison, it is overshadowed.

Later, Chu Tianren participated in the imperial examination again and won the top spot! It has become a legend of Huangyue County!

At that time, the life of the family changed dramatically!

Chu Tianren gave all the money he earned to Mrs. Chu, he didn't talk much on weekdays, but on the night of Chu Tianyi and Chu Tianjiao's wedding, he said a lot.

He wants to take the whole family to the capital, and wants to take everyone to live a good life.

But they were rejected by Mrs. Chu and Chu Tianyi, they didn't want to leave Huangyue County.

After returning to Beijing for three years, Mrs. Chu would receive a large amount of silver tickets from Chu Tianren every month, and the minimum was one hundred taels.

She often looked in the direction of the capital, fantasizing about Chu Tianren's life in the capital, and at the same time, she was also worried that her son would become the corrupt official she hated the most.

At that time, Chu Laohan's pension was ten taels, but the actual payment was only three taels.

Mrs. Chu was frugal all her life, and she also taught Chu Tianyi to be a good official.

Under the influence of his mother, after Chu Tianyi became the county magistrate of Huangyue County, he was diligent and diligent.

In that year, Chu Tianyi fought the flood and rescued, Mrs. Chu had a high fever, there was no one at home, and the old illness suddenly broke out, and she died.

Chu Tianren cried like a tearful man, knelt in front of the grave for half a month, and after returning to Beijing, he never wrote a letter home.

Even on the day Chu Mohan was born, Chu Tianren did not come back.

Although Chu Mohan kept shouting from his uncle, in fact, he had never seen his second uncle.

No one ever told him about these things, and he just thought that his second uncle was busy with official business and couldn't take a break at all.

On the ox cart, Chu Tianjiao smiled and gently patted Chu Tianyi's arm with a sweet smile on her face.

"Don't worry, Xianggong, so many years have passed since the past, and Tianren won't care about it anymore."

"Hopefully! I stole one of his potatoes back then, and he remembered it for three years! ”

Chu Tianjiao hurriedly covered his mouth!

Such a shameful thing, don't say it bravely!

Chu Mohan glanced back, it turned out that his father was not so upright before!

"That's right, son! Where's the carriage in the house?! Wouldn't it be faster?! Why do we have to take an ox cart, procrastinating, when can we get to the capital? ”

"Daddy! Isn't it your fault for this? Send someone to lock me in the house! By the time I came out, the yellow sand on the ground had reached my calves! Is the carriage still running?! That's it, or I'm out of the city to rob it... Picked up! ”

Hearing this, Chu Tianyi didn't say anything more, and silently closed his mouth.

In the cottage in the distance, a group of mountain bandits had already targeted Chu Mohan and his party.

A man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek and a beard and a treacherous smile looked at Yamashita and said:

"King, do we really want to do something to this group of people?!"

The man buttoned his ears and said with disdain: "What's the matter, isn't it from the county government?!" How many officials have we killed to escort the goods, and how many people are missing?! ”

Seeing the man's fierce and courageous appearance, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked military advisor shook his head helplessly.

This king knows every day that he kills people, robs people's daughters, seeks pleasure, and gets drunk! It's normal not to know Chu Mohan and his party.

"They, the king..."

The man held a young woman with fox eyes and a cherry mouth in his arms, looking like a vixen.

"That's it! The military advisor should not say more! Today's goods of this group of people have been grabbed by Qingniu Mountain! In a few days, I will pay tribute to Jiulong Mountain! There are no extra supplies in the stockade for a long time! ”

After speaking, the king with two pheasant feathers on his head waved his arm directly!

"Up!"

The bandits behind him are already ready to attack! Hearing this, more than thirty people all rushed down!

Hearing movement on the nearby mountain, Chu Mohan looked around cautiously!

"Wait! Someone! ”

The housekeeper and the master glanced at each other, and they were shocked! Someone dared to rob the Chu family? Are these mountain bandits really deadly?

"Mo Han! You're hiding behind Daddy! Dealing with bandits, daddy has experience! ”

Chu Tianyi protected his son and daughter-in-law behind him, and looked at the bandit who was already standing in front of him with a cautious expression!

Chu Mohan rubbed his head.

Dad, please, before dealing with them, you had soldiers in your hands and caught fast, now what?! There are only seven of us plus the maids!

"Where are you bandits! In broad daylight, even the county magistrate dares to hijack it! ”

The master is holding a lupine in his hand, and his face is not angry and arrogant!

Sou!
