Jiang Sheng stepped forward with a smile

"Uncle, do you live with my grandfather?"

The man smiled innocently

"Yes, you are Doctor Liu's granddaughter? Since Doctor Liu came, we have lived together and I often hear Doctor Liu mention you."

"Where do you live then?"

The man kindly pointed to the house behind him.

"Well, that's it. We all sleep in this big bunk bed, but your uncle doesn't live with us. He sleeps in another room."

Suddenly the man pointed behind him and said with a smile

"Look, if you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here."

Jiang Sheng turned around and saw Liu Heng limping back.

Sun Hongyue hurried forward

"Husband, what's wrong? Why are you injured?"

Liu Heng waved his hand indifferently.

"It's okay, just a minor injury."

He looked at his wife's whitened hands, gently held them and whispered

"It's cold now. You can't always wash clothes with cold water. It will be painful when you get older. If you really can't do it, change to an easier job."

Sun Hongyue shook her head

"This isn't tiring, I earn more money, it's okay."

Jiang Sheng looked at his uncle who was covered in dust and his eyes suddenly turned red.

When had her gentle and refined uncle ever been so embarrassed?

"uncle!"

Liu Heng thought he was hallucinating, but when he looked up, he saw his pretty niece standing in front of him.

"Sheng'er?"

Jiang Sheng came over, holding Liu Heng's arm and said

"Uncle, I'm here."

Liu Heng was surprised

"Girl, when did you come? Why didn't you inform me in advance so I could clean up."

Sun Hongyue clicked her tongue twice

"Sheng'er, look, your uncle is middle-aged and has started to pay attention to his appearance."

Jiang Sheng chuckled

"Who made my uncle look so good?"

"That's right. I was fascinated by his appearance at the beginning."

Liu Heng coughed a few times uncomfortably, and Jiang Sheng quickly helped him sit down on the stone bench.

Sun Hongyue placed the food that Jiang Sheng had packed on the table.

"You didn't eat it during dinner just now. These are all brought specially for you by Sheng'er. They are all freshly made."

Liu Heng said with a smile

"That's great. I'm really taking advantage of my niece today."

"Then you should eat more."

While Liu Heng was eating, Sun Hongyue was talking to him beside him.

There were many people sitting nearby but no one came forward to disturb them.

Jiang Sheng stood up and looked around at the messy environment and the noisy voices. His nose felt sore and tears fell.

She was afraid that her grandfather and others would see it, so she wiped it quickly.

Liu Huaishan knew that she was worried about him, so he stepped forward and comforted her with a smile.

"This place is actually quite nice, with lots of people and it's lively. It's quite nice to have a place to stay and a roof over our heads to avoid the rain."

Liu Huaishan smiled with a kind look and no sign of reluctance on his face. Jiang Sheng knew that his grandfather's indifference was not a disguise.

However, the environment here is too bad. There is not even a separate room. I don’t know how they have survived all these days.

"Sheng'er, in the eyes of others, Bianjiang City is like a jackal, a tiger or a leopard. I used to think so too, but now that I have been here for a long time, I realize that it was just a blind spot."

"But...Grandfather..."

Jiang Sheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Huaishan

"There is no need for intrigue here. People are honest and simple, and it is easy for people to let down their guard. When talking and doing things here, there is no need to think twice. It is indeed much easier than in the capital."

"Grandfather, I want to find a new place for you to live."

Liu Huaishan refused without thinking.

"You are a newcomer, so don't be too concerned. We have income every day, and we have to hand it over, and there is still some left. We can move out when the time comes. It's good here now, so don't worry too much about us."

When Liu Heng was having dinner, Sun Hongyue told him about Jiang Sheng's current situation, so when they chatted later, Liu Heng never mentioned Lu Wenzhou once.

They didn't talk for long. Liu Heng knew that she was now living in the inner city, so he said

"It's getting late. Let's go back now. Don't miss the time. We will meet each other a lot in the future. This little bit of time doesn't matter."

Jiang Sheng also knew how serious the situation was, so he said goodbye to them and took his people back.

On the way back, Jiang Sheng was silent for a while, then said to Yingqiu

"My grandfather and his family live in such a poor condition. I have to go to the county government office tomorrow to see if I can find a way to move them to a new place."

"Then I will go to the county government office to inquire about it tomorrow."

Jiang Sheng suddenly remembered something

"The yamen runners at that time said that they didn't have a county magistrate in Bianjiang City. Why is that?"

Bamboo Road

"There is a general in Bianjiang City, his surname is He, he is the general defending the city of Bianjiang City, and he is also the de facto city lord of Bianjiang City. The He family has been guarding here since the day Bianjiang City was established.

I don’t know how many generations have passed since then, but at that time, Bianjiang City was still very small, so there was no county government office.

Later, as the population of Bianjiang City grew, they only built a county government office but did not send a county magistrate. All matters concerning Bianjiang City were decided by the He family. "

Jiang Sheng said calmly

"It can be seen that His Majesty trusts the Any Family very much."

Yingyue whispered

"If you ask me, Your Majesty is either trusting you or using this little treat to get the He family to stay here wholeheartedly."

Everyone knows that the north of the Ling Mountains is bitterly cold, but few people know that Bianjiang City, located north of the Ling Mountains, is even colder and more unbearable.

Rice, wheat, fruits and vegetables are only available once a year. In winter, it is so cold that you cannot go out of the house. However, the summer is short and hot, even worse than in the south of the Yangtze River. It is simply the place with the most serious polarization.

Who would want to live in such a shabby place?

But the He family is loyal and has never left for generations in order to protect this place.

Alas, the He family now is just like the Lu family in the past, except that they are living in a corner and their ending is much better than that of the Lu family.

"What is the reputation of the He family in this city?"

“Not bad. Although the He family can be regarded as the local tyrant of Bianjiang City, they have never oppressed the people.

On the contrary, the family tradition is honest and frugal. "

Jiang Sheng was a little confused. If it was true as Yingqiu said, then why did people ask for money everywhere in this city?

"But there are many schemes in the city to collect money openly..."

Nanzhu whispered

"This place is very close to the border of Beiyuan, and not far from Miaojiang and Kunshan tribes. Conflicts happen from time to time. If Bianjiang City wants to support its soldiers, it needs money.

But, young lady, you should know that Dongchen's Ministry of Revenue has always been tight, so Bianjiang City has to rely on itself to raise troops."

Jiang Sheng sighed

"From this perspective, the He family's situation is not much better than the Lu family's back then."

The few of them returned to the inner city almost on time. As soon as they arrived at Beauty Lane, it started snowing.

When Nanzhu returned to the house, he saw that she did not return to the house, so he went into the house to get the cloak and put it on her.

"Miss, don't look at it for too long, or you might catch a cold."

Jiang Sheng nodded without saying anything.
