Uncle Guo

The Liang family doesn't have a single servant now, so they have to do everything by themselves, plus the number of people is small, there are only a few female relatives in total, that's it, and they have to thank the emperor for his kindness.

Because it is reasonable to commit such a serious crime as treason, and directly assassinate the emperor to disturb the holy car, this is a serious crime against the nine clans, and all the female family members will be confiscated into the Jiaofang Secretary as prostitutes. Now the eldest sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law can still stay in the Liang family to serve The parents-in-law and the youngest granddaughter, Liang Qiwen, were not dragged to sell, which is already considered extraordinarily merciful.

The girl from the Chu family was married to Liang Zhenghui for less than a month, and her husband went to the battlefield, died for the country, and had nothing to do with her knees. Her natal family urged her to go home early, and Dong Taijun also asked her to see the children of the Beijing family. If you want to, you might as well remarry.However, after all these years, she has been in charge of the family and affairs, and she has no intention of remarrying in the Liang family. Now the Liang family has undergone great changes. Her natal brother came to drag her back, and she threatened death, let alone go back.

Sister-in-law and younger brothers and sisters serve their parents-in-law, embroider and weave cloth to support the family. Even the 14-year-old granddaughter is busy cleaning, washing, starching, cooking tea and cooking. will eat.

Chang Qinghe was in charge of all the physical work of the family, plowing the fields, chopping firewood and carrying water, he was good at everything.

Liang Xuanchen heard him pouring water into the water tank in the courtyard, and suddenly said: "Let's go to the street to perform, and I can perform masked throwing knives. How about you being a target for me?"

Liang Yuncheng sneered: "You have lost your hand, and the family has no pillars. You let our family drink the northwest wind?"

Liang Xuanchen refused to accept, "Then make me a target."

Liang Yuncheng sneered again, and said to Chang Qinghe, "This is going to kill my father."

Chang Qinghe set up the buckets, covered the tank, and started chopping firewood in the yard. The weather was so hot that he swung the ax furiously. After a while, he was sweating profusely. He took off his shirt and worked there shirtless.

Liang Xuanchen criticized: "There are female relatives in the family, it is disrespectful for you to not wear clothes like this."

Liang Yuncheng was furious, "You're pretending to be blind because you don't want to work, right? How do you know he's not wearing a shirt?"

"I heard the sound of him taking off his clothes. The clothes were still on the bench in the corridor. Just now Wenwen came over to take the clothes away and wash them."

Liang Yuncheng said: "If you are full all day long, you can't do anything serious, just meddle in the things you shouldn't meddle in."

Liang Xuanchen said: "I'm blind, what do you want me to do?"

Shi Shiran, Taijun Dong, came over and handed Liang Xuanchen a flag of "fortune-telling and character testing" on a bamboo pole, "It's fine to throw a masked knife, it's not good to hurt Qing'er, you might as well go to the street to bluff and deceive. You are the best at saying, you are good at this."

Liang Xuanchen said: "How can the royal family and relatives do such a publicity thing, it's a shame."

Dong Taijun knocked a chestnut out of his pocket, "Your six younger sisters are all in prison, and you're a shitty relative of the emperor! If your sixth brother-in-law has a heart, he won't slander her for murdering her husband."

Brother Wen was drying the clothes in the yard, wondering: "How can the ancestor be sure that Aunt Six was slandered? I think she might have murdered her husband."

Dong Taijun "spit", "I, A Yuan, really want to make a move, and there is a reason for his life? The one surnamed Han died a long time ago!"

Liang Yuncheng came up to cover her mouth, stomping his feet anxiously, "Be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth, walls have ears."

Dong Taijun sneered, "Is there someone eavesdropping on this old dilapidated house? It just fell down by accident and smashed your foot."

Liang Xuanchen took over the flagpole that Dong Taijun stuffed in his hand, he looked embarrassed, and refused to go out to cheat for a living. "What did you call him just now? Qing'er? You've never called me Chen'er, you've always called us Ada, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, etc. You should stop calling me Qing'er, I'm getting goosebumps." Yes. His original name is Chang Si, you can call him Ah Si."

Dong Taijun said: "Someone in our family called Si, how embarrassing are your brothers and sisters when I call you that? Or I can make a decision and promise Qing'er to Lan'er. I think they are both talented and beautiful, and they are very suitable for each other."

When she said this, not to mention Liang Xuanchen, even Chang Qinghe and the girl from the Chu family looked ashen.

"It's just whimsical, what is this about? Don't mess with the mandarin ducks!" Liang Xuanchen carried the flag, "All right, all right, I'll go out and tell people's fortune-telling, and see how much I can earn today."

Chang Qinghe was worried that he would go out alone, but who should follow?

Liang Qiwen said happily: "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go with my third uncle to see the world, let's see how clever he is, bluffing and deceiving."

Dong Taijun's face sank, "You are a boudoir lady, how can you go out to show your face casually?"

Liang Xuanchen mocked: "Just now you said that you are not a relative of the emperor, but it seems that Miss Boudoir can barely be considered."

Who knew that Liang Qiwen said: "I can pretend to be a servant and follow third uncle."

Liang Yuncheng confessed that the most distinguished member of the Liang family is the youngest granddaughter Liang Qiwen. When the uncles and nephews go out together, they must come back with all their feathers. "

Liang Xuanchen said: "You can't beat Wenwen even if you beat me! Good nephew, let's go, uncle will take you to earn money."

At sunset, the two uncles and nephews came back, not only brought money, but also a dozen young men carrying rice, meat, and vegetables on their shoulders.Liang Qiwen happily instructed them to put things here and there, and the family was dumbfounded. Chang Qinghe knew that Liang Xuanchen was capable, but he didn't know that he was so capable. He was repairing household items in the courtyard and preparing a hoe for tomorrow's field Well, it doesn't matter if you look at this posture, you just need to sit and wait for the blind man to go out with a good tongue and you can eat and drink without worrying about it.

After the boys left, Liang Qiwen began to sit in the hall happily and recount the adventures of going out today.It turned out that the uncle and nephew were sitting dryly opposite the herbal tea shop in the market. No one took the bait until noon. They only earned two copper coins, which was not enough to buy a cake. Grandpa gasped and boasted, and now he refuses to go home for lunch.

Liang Xuanchen got up and said: "It's noon? Then uncle took you to eat something delicious, what do you want to eat?"

"Anything that fills your stomach."

"What's your favorite food?"

Liang Qiwen thought for a while, "I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus chicken. The sweet-scented osmanthus chicken made by the chef at home is really delicious."

Liang Xuanchen sighed, "It's difficult to eat the ones made by the master chef at home, but maybe you can barely eat the sweet-scented osmanthus chicken made by other people's chefs."

After talking, Liang Xuanchen asked someone how to get to the Guo family on the East Street. The two uncles and nephews arrived at Guo's mansion in a roundabout way.

Seeing him face to face, the boy didn't answer and asked instead, "What are you here for?"

Liang Xuanchen said: "The despicable surname is Chang, who is black and white and impermanent. He came to the house to treat Miss Guo's illness."

The young man saw Liang Qiwen behind him carrying the big banner of fortune-telling and character-testing, and he looked like a swindling charlatan, so he wanted to drive him away.As a result, Liang Xuanchen said again: "Miss Guo's illness can't be delayed, if it is delayed after October, it will cause bad food, if it is delayed after the first month of next year, it will kill people."

When the boy heard this, he had no choice but to go back and report to Guo Yuanwai at home.

After a while, the young man came to report that Mr. Guo was invited.

Liang Xuanchen entered Guo's mansion, but he didn't ask Miss Guo's illness, instead he talked about it, talking about what happened to the Yao family in the south of the city, and what happened to the Lu family in the west of the city.Guo Yuanwai's forehead was covered with cold sweat, which made Liang Xuanchen shut up.

Liang Xuanchen said that he had a trick up his sleeve, which could relieve Guo Yuanwai's anxiety and cure Miss Guo's illness.Then he stretched out his finger and twisted it twice, Guo Yuanwai understood immediately, but he refused to believe that he could really solve the problem, so Liang Xuanchen pulled Guo Yuanwai, and whispered small things in his ear for a while, Guo Yuanwai accepted it dubiously Bring paper and pen, write a note according to what Liang Xuanchen said, put it in the bag, and order the servants in the mansion to send it to Lu's house in the west of the city.

At this moment, Liang Xuanchen patted his stomach again and said that he was hungry and wanted to eat sweet-scented osmanthus chicken.

Guo Yuanwai saw that he looked upright and spoke in a gentle manner, he didn't look like someone who swindled and cheated. He also thought that this person was full of poetry and books, and his talents and learning were superior to his own. Order the kitchen to make sweet-scented osmanthus chicken.

Soon the food and wine were served, Liang Qiwen was a little embarrassed to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus chicken, so she pretended to give way and asked Liang Xuanchen to move the chopsticks first.

The sweet-scented osmanthus chicken hadn't put down its chopsticks yet, and the boy who had run back from Lu's house in the west of the city hastily whispered something in Mr. Guo's ear.

In the middle of the sentence, Guo Yuanwai's eyes widened, and he was about to kneel down to Liang Xuanchen, what kind of kindness, great virtue, unforgettable and so on. After finishing speaking gratefully, Liang Xuanchen asked the boy to fetch lotus leaves and sweet-scented osmanthus flowers. The chicken was wrapped, and I asked for ten copper coins, a bag of rice, a bag of meat, and a basket of vegetables and radishes.

"I devote myself to practicing Buddhism and like to be a vegetarian. It's just that my nephew is growing up, so I want to eat more meat, so thank you Guo Yuanwai." After saying that, he got up and said goodbye.

Guo Yuanwai hastily asked him to stop, saying that Liang Xuanchen had saved the Guo family, and how could it be enough to take only this money and food, and he needed to send some more.

Liang Xuanchen refused in every possible way, but the kindness was hard to accept, and he took a few taels more money, and then took Liang Qiwen back to the house.

Liang Qiwen was extremely surprised, and repeatedly asked Miss Guo what disease she had, and what happened to the third uncle's tricks, but Liang Xuanchen just kept it secret on purpose.

He untied the sweet-scented osmanthus chicken from the lotus leaf and presented it to the old mother. Liang Xuanchen still refused to say the whole story, but only said that Brother Wen learned it and taught the apprentice to starve to death.

That night, the family ate a good meal of chicken, duck and fish. The fish was put there by someone at the door. Liang Yuncheng also had a big heart, not afraid of being poisonous, so he brought it to the kitchen and asked his daughter-in-law to cook the soup.

When it collapsed at night, Chang Qinghe couldn't help being curious and came to ask, "I know that the third master has great powers, but I don't know that you are here. Can you know, and help people make up their minds?"

"If you want to know, call me brother!"

Chang Qinghe is willing to call him grandfather, why is it difficult to call him brother.

"I'm only telling you this. Don't tell my father later, just make him feel bad." Liang Xuanchen said, it turned out that after he lost his eyesight, he paid special attention to training his ears. It looks like setting up a stall to test characters, but in fact, I am listening to the right and wrong of things in the teahouse.After listening for a long time, the most amazing thing recently is that Miss Guo, the daughter of Guo Yuanwai, suddenly fell ill, and she did not go to the temple with her grandparents to offer incense like in the past.Miss Guo is a well-known beauty in these towns and villages. Her illness has affected all parties. It is said that the young master of the Yao family in the south of the city has been in love with Miss Guo for a long time. The charges are not too big or too small, and they are still on trial.At this time, the rich and powerful Lu family in the western city of Kou suddenly came to propose marriage. The second son of Lu insisted on marrying Miss Guo. In this way, the Guo family must also be involved.

This year, the Shenji Camp incident caused panic. All the officials from the capital to the localities were in danger. When Guo Yuanwai was at a loss, Liang Xuanchen stepped forward and solved the problem with just a note.

"What did you write in the note?" Chang Qinghe asked.

"Do you remember which of the officials in the capital is surnamed Lu?" Liang Xuanchen asked back.

Chang Qinghe said: "There seems to be someone surnamed Lu in Zhan Shi's mansion."

"Good memory! Zhan Shi's Mansion is the place where the crown prince is taught to study. Although the surname Lu was not recommended by the Liang family, there are relatives in the Lu family who bought officials, and they paid a lot of money to my sister. Recommendations are even worse. Recommendations can’t be taken for granted. There is no serious crime. That's a serious crime of beheading. I just said in the note that the Lu family master went to the official office to ask how his father's twelve red seals were covered. I also guessed that the twelve red seals should be covered. This chapter is not easy, and it is almost inevitable to accept bribes in the middle. Recently, the rumors are so tight that anyone who is involved in the Shenji camp incident can almost be settled without much trial. Now, once the Liang family fell down, they immediately put on a gesture of severing their ties, which must have offended many people."

Chang Qinghe was not as clear as Liang Xuanchen about the way of officialdom, so he chewed on it and said, "Then what about Miss Guo's illness?"

"The people in the teahouse said that they often saw Mr. Yao's family also go to the temple to offer incense. I think Miss Guo might have a secret knot."

Chang Qinghe nodded: "You are indeed a bold and skilled person, and you are not afraid of being beaten out."

"Everyone welcomes me into the mansion for a talk, so I guess I'm pretty close, even the month is right."
