The servant said: "Miss, I still have some things to do in Yuzhang, so I left Ah Fu to help him, and specially asked the villain to send Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin's coffin back first. Oh," he said from his arms He took out a letter and handed it over with both hands: "This is a letter that my aunt ordered the villain to bring back and hand it over to Master Lu and Mr. Wu. Miss, please take it away."
Lu Xiaoshu stepped forward to receive the letter, and Xiaoxue knew that the little aunt must have a lot to ask the servant, so she also stepped forward, took Jin'er from her hand, and comforted her: "Little aunt, it must be Yu Does Zhang have classmates or get together with Taoist priests? Presumably, my uncle will come back in a few days..."
Tong Yu'er smiled reluctantly, and asked her to carry Jin'er to play somewhere else for a while, then called the coachman and servant into the room for questioning.
Tong Yu'er felt a little flustered in her heart. She knows her husband's temperament best, but Qin Chuan is his classmate and confidant. At this time, he absolutely has no interest in gathering with literati and Confucians to discuss literature and poetry, and there are so many people in the family waiting for him, plus It won't be long before he will go to Beijing to rush for the exam. Therefore, if it was not a very important matter, he would definitely not send Tian and others to go on the road first and stay in Yuzhang by himself.
Tong Yu'er asked the servant about the situation in Yuzhang in detail. The servant explained in detail, but he didn't get to the point. Most of what he talked about was the tragic situation of the family members of the dead Juzi holding the coffin and crying bitterly. Sympathy.
Tong Yu'er was a bit dumbfounded, so she patiently asked how his uncle was there
The servant then said: "Young Master, everything is fine, there's nothing wrong with it. It's the wife of the Qin family and the young master who cried miserably, but it took a lot of effort to calm them down."
Tong Yu'er felt relieved, and asked Miao Chuhe about food, clothing, daily life, etc. over there. The servant knew about these things, so she followed her questions and answered them all.
Seeing that she couldn't ask any more questions, Tong Yu'er sent the servant and coachman back, sat alone and stared blankly at the front for a while, then saw Lu Xiaoshu next to her, and didn't know when she came in. He forced a smile, "Xiao Shu."
"Little aunt," Lu Xiaoshu stepped forward and tugged at her sleeve and said with a smile, "Don't worry, little uncle will definitely come back safely! It's just a few days later!"
"Yeah!" Tong Yu'er felt her nose sore when she heard this, her eyes were flushed with tears and she raised her hand to stroke Lu Xiaoshu's hair and said with a soft smile, "Xiaoshu is so good!"
When Lu Zhong and Miao Cuilan came back in the evening, Tong Yu'er had already adjusted her mood, so she told them about the matter, and took out the letter and handed it to Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong's eyes flickered, he pondered for a moment and then asked Lu Xiaoshu to invite Mr. Wu to have dinner with him.
Miao Cuilan complained all over Miao Chuhe, saying that he was ignorant! What could be bigger than so many relatives waiting for him at home? What's so important that he didn't even deliver the coffin of his classmate and confidant himself
Tong Yu'er forced a smile to defend him, but persuaded Miao Cuilan.
Seeing her like this, Miao Cuilan let out a long sigh, and couldn't say anything more, so she hurriedly comforted her.
Mr. Wu came over, and couldn't wait until the meal was over, Lu Zhong and him hurriedly opened the letter, and upon seeing it, both of them were stunned.
"Father! Sir! What did little uncle say in the letter!" Lu Xiaoshu saw that the two of them were silent, and he didn't care about the mood of the women next to him who hadn't read the contents of the letter, so he asked quickly.
This time Miao Cuilan didn't blame Lu Xiaoshu for talking too much, instead she hurriedly asked with a look of impatience: "That's right, you guys should hurry up, don't be like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, you're so anxious!"
The two looked at each other, and Lu Zhong sighed: "Mr. Wu, please tell me!"
Mr. Wu nodded with a smile, then said with an understatement and relaxed smile: "Hehe, you don't have to be nervous, it's actually nothing serious. It's just that there seems to be some doubts about the fire in the inn at Yuzhang. Chuhe and Qinchuan have a deep friendship, so we leave Come down and sort out this matter, and when you figure it out, you will come back naturally!"
After hearing this, Miao Cuilan suddenly realized, and let out an "oh" and felt relieved.
But Tong Yu'er heard something was wrong, and felt that Mr. Wu's words were clearly ambiguous, she couldn't help raising her head and asked: "Suspicious? Didn't the obituary issued by the government last time clearly explain the cause of the fire? Why? Will there be doubts? Besides, even if there are doubts, shouldn't this be a matter for the government? What's the use of Chuhe staying there? "
Mr. Wu smiled lightly and said, "Whether Yuzhang is near or not far from us, Chuhe must want to stay there so that he can know the result in time, right? But so is he, and he is about to go to Beijing to participate I’ll try it, I really shouldn’t stay in Yuzhang too long! How about it,”
Mr. Wu said with a smile, "I'll go to Yuzhang tomorrow to see if I can help. Or I can stay there and tell him to come back and prepare for the exam!"
"What an embarrassment!"
"How can this work!"
Miao Cuilan and Tong Yu'er went the same way.
In fact, after hearing Mr. Wu's words and seeing Mr. Wu's expression, the two of them felt more and more at ease. When Mr. Wu mentioned that he wanted to go there in person, both of them felt a little sorry, because Mr. Wu didn't like to go out after living in Fengye Village for so many years, and he didn't even go to the city!
This time, he has to go to Yuzhang to go to Yuzhang because of Miao Chuhe's affairs...
"I think it's settled like this!" Seeing that Lu Zhong wanted to talk, Mr. Wu smiled at him, and said to them: "I haven't gone out for a long time, so it's good to go for a walk by the way. Exercise your muscles and bones." With me here, I will take good care of Chuhe, don't worry!"
"So, thank Mr. Wu here first!" Lu Zhong cupped his hands at him.
Miao Cuilan and Tong Yu'er saw that Mr. Wu had made up his mind, and Lu Zhong said so again, so they didn't refuse any more, and thanked him a lot.
Everyone knew Mr. Wu's character and wisdom, and Miao Cuilan and Tong Yu'er felt relieved when he went to Yuzhang.
After the meal, Mr. Wu invited Lu Zhong to his residence. The two had a good discussion, and it was not until late at night that Lu Zhong came home.
In the early morning of the next day, Mr. Wu explained the affairs in the school. Wearing a navy blue long gown that was old and not old, wrapped in a square scarf, and carrying a simple bag, he left Fengye Village for Yuzhang. go.
Miao Cuilan didn't know the inside story, and although Tong Yu'er had doubts, she put it down for the time being following Mr. Wu's words and a complete line. Naturally, Lu Zhong wouldn't say it, Xiaoxue didn't think he didn't care about what he heard, and Lu Xiaoshu didn't like to ask his father, but he really couldn't let it go.
If we said that when we lived in the Lu family, we only regarded it as a post station for drifting in this other world, but after so many years of getting along with each other, the little things that we have no worries about food and clothing, and enjoy the pampering have already been deeply immersed in the marrow of our bones, unconsciously. In the middle of it, she already regarded all the Lu family members as her closest relatives. Instead, they were the biological parents who let her go and left, but their faces have gradually become blurred.
Lu Xiaoshu had no one to vomit the depression in his heart, so he couldn't help but think of Zhou Si. Because Zhou Si had warned her about this at that time, she was naturally regarded as someone who could share this secret.
Although Lu Xiaoshu felt a little tired of thinking about Zhou's second uncle's stinky face, he still couldn't help but quietly went to Zhou Si, and went up the back mountain to tell him about it.
After hearing this, Zhou Si's heart sank slightly, and his eyes could not help but narrow down, so he could only comfort her with nice words.
Lu Xiaoshu listened, but didn't say a word.
Zhou Si looked at her pair of eyes that were usually full of energy and radiance cast a layer of gloom, and her little face, which had never known the color of sadness, was also stained with worry, and her delicate brows were faintly frowned. Unable to feel distressed, he said softly: "Xiao Shu, don't be like this. Your little uncle can't be more calm and cautious at first glance. This matter has a lot to do with it. He will definitely not be impulsive and reckless. He will only act after consideration!"
At this time, Lu Xiaoshu raised his head and smiled at him, and said: "I understand what you said, and Mr. Wu has already rushed to help him, so there is no problem! It's just that I feel uncomfortable and depressed in my heart, and I want to talk to someone. Talk, vent and vent!"
Zhou Si was taken aback after hearing this, and immediately smiled and said, "That's right, is it more comfortable to say it?"
"En!" Lu Xiaoshu thought for a while, then nodded and smiled at him.
Seeing her smile brighten again, Zhou Si felt relieved, and said with a smile, "That's good! You can just wait at ease, he will come back safely."
"With my master here, there should be no problem!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled brightly, "I should go back, you should go back too!"
Zhou Si nodded with a smile, said goodbye to her, and watched her trot away.
"Xiao Shu!" He suddenly called out to her again, she stopped and turned to look at him, Zhou Si smiled and said, "You come to tell me this, I am very happy."
Lu Xiaoshu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and turned around to go back and continue to leave. But I didn't take it seriously in my heart, I didn't know what to be happy about.
After another twenty days of waiting, he finally brought Miao Chuhe back safely.
Tong Yu'er, Miao Cuilan and the others were completely relieved at this time. The reunion with each other is bound to be a lot of fun.
Within a few days, news spread here that the fire in Yuzhang had been found out to be the result of collusion between the officials of the Yuzhang government, including the magistrate, and the rich, in order to sell the rankings for personal gain …
It has been ascertained clearly that all those who intervened in the case were brought to justice, and those who died unjustly were all compensated generously. Those who escaped their lives by chance, regardless of their appearance, disability or not, made an exception and were eligible to participate in the Qiuwei , If you don't want to participate, you can wait for the post of county magistrate. This can be regarded as the court's compensation to them.
After everyone figured this out, they couldn't help but sigh again. Miao Chuhe was even more resentful, not worth it for his classmate who died in vain.
Originally, he could be reunited with his family and have a bright future, and his whole family could live a healthy and stable life without worrying about food and clothing, and they could feel proud in their village...
But everything that should have been there, all came to naught because of the selfishness of a few people!
Qin Chuan's mother held the two hundred taels of silver issued by the court, thinking of her son who died unjustly, she cried until her heart broke, and everyone who heard it was sad.
