Chapter 210

The scene that happened at the entrance of the village spread to the village in an instant.

Shilidian is a village where the three surnames of Zhao, Sun, and Li live together. Compared with the Sun and Li people, the Zhao family feels relieved and at the same time has a little more anxiety and anticipation.

I was worried because I was worried that the "son-in-law from heaven" had made a mistake, which would surely attract Lu Renjia's revenge.

The expectation comes from everyone's simple intuition. Today's clan concept is very strong, and blood relationship is a natural "one's own person". If the Zhao An people really come from the Zhao family in Shilidian, they will have to pull the clan members out of love and reason.

At the beginning of time.

The dozens of members of the Zhao family who stayed in Shilidian gathered in Zhao Tian's small fenced courtyard, exchanging opinions excitedly and in low voices.

The Sun and Li people in the distance looked enviously.

Only Mrs. Zhao Tian was still sitting on the loom, weaving linen at a leisurely pace.

"Grandma Seven, it's almost time! Stop knitting"

Although it is said that women are not in charge, the situation of the Zhao family is special. Ding Wei's men died in sevens and eights, and most of them were women and children. The few men were far lower than Zhao Tian's, and the latter were A person who dares to make up his mind, after a long time, Zhao Tian's opinion will always be the most important thing in the clan.

"Hurry up! If you don't weave, these dolls will be hungry tonight!"

Zhao Tian's old face was calm, but her trembling hands showed that she was not what she looked like at the moment.

lean less.

A group of knights led Lu Renjia covered in welts and walked straight towards the small fenced courtyard. Just now, they couldn't wait to see where the "son-in-law" was, and the holy women suddenly dispersed.

Some timid men also sneaked away.

They didn't know what to be afraid of, anyway, they always used to hide in fear when they saw rich clothes and tall horses.

Outside the courtyard gate, following Chen Chu dismounted, everyone from the eldest son down got off the horse in unison.

The movements were uniform, and the weapons at the waist clattered.

Gives a strong sense of oppression.

Zhao Congyi, who was in charge of welcoming the guests at the door, had trembling legs and could not speak a word.

The white-haired rat stepped forward first, and after entering the courtyard, he bowed and clasped his fists, "May I ask if this is where Mrs. Zhao lives?"

Zhao Tian, ​​who was sitting next to the loom in the house, slowly got up, took a deep breath, and walked into the courtyard, followed by a group of timid little girls.

Chen Chu stepped forward and greeted the old man.

When he told himself that he married the daughter of the Zhao family, the eyes of the Zhao family members who remained in the courtyard were flushed with excitement.

However, Zhao Tian asked, "Dare to ask my lord, why do you respect your wife and father?"

This is to confirm Mao'er's identity, but the members of the Zhao family nervously glanced at Chen Chu, thinking that the old lady is not unnecessary!

He himself said that he is the son-in-law of the Zhao family. If the name of his wife's father does not match, do we still recognize this relative?
Before Chen Chulai came, he had plans to pay homage to Mao'er's father, so he naturally knew his name, "Father is Kaide, grandfather is Jisheng."

As soon as the words fell, there was a buzz of discussion in the courtyard, and a man in his thirties said excitedly: "It turns out that Brother Kaide's daughter has become an An Ren!"

Zhao Tian also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked Chen Chu to sit in the courtyard, and asked Zhao Congyi to take out the family tree and sequence the relatives.

Maoer's grandfather's generation moved into Tokyo City.

Her grandfather and father were single generations, but the great-grandfather's generation had seven brothers, and this Zhao Tian family was the wife of the seventh great-grandfather.

Speaking of which, Chen Chu and Mao'er still called out grandma.

They are indeed relatives who have not released the fifth service.

After confirming the relationship, Zhao Tian asked Zhao Congyi to call over all the relatives who had been hiding just now, and greet them one by one.

"This is Uncle Fifth."

"This is your thirteenth aunt."

"This one should be called brother."

"This group is all sisters"

Chen Chu didn't remember any of them. He only had a general impression that there were many women and many widows.
From this alone, one can guess how tragic Ding Wei's family suffered back then.

After all, Chen Chu is a son-in-law, even if he recognizes the Zhao family, he will inevitably be cautious. Chen Chu, who has seen that the Zhao Tian family is the backbone of the family, took the initiative to talk about the next arrangement with the other party.

This is not Caizhou, since Chen Chu couldn't kill Lu Renjia and Zhuang Ding on the spot, in order to prevent Lu Renjia from causing trouble to Zhao's family after he left, he proposed to take them to Tokyo City to live temporarily.

As for how to arrange the follow-up, we still need to communicate with the cat before making a decision.

Naturally, there is no problem in taking it to Caizhou, it is not bad for these dozens of people to eat.

Chen Chu helped them regain the Zhao family's ancestral property, and it was fine for them to stay.

Although blood relatives can make up for the loss of Mao'er's family to a certain extent, but with so many people, it's hard to say that there are good and bad, and it may also cause trouble for Mao'er.

How to arrange it, let the cat decide for himself.

Hearing Chen Chu's suggestion of inviting people from his clan to live in the city temporarily, Zhao Tian didn't hesitate, but said: "There are about sixty people in the family, so it will cost the son-in-law a lot."

"Too grandma, a little money is not worth mentioning. Just let everyone clean up and come with me."

"Alright. I'm here to thank my son-in-law on behalf of the Zhao family and the whole family."

Seeing that Zhao Tianshi was going to make a big gift, Chen Chu hurriedly stopped him.

Afterwards, the members of the Zhao family dispersed and packed their bags. It took less than half an hour for the packing to be completed.

Not only did they put broken rice for food, pots, bowls and bedding into rickshaws, they even moved tables and chairs, and unloaded doors and windows.
Staying here for a while is not moving, so what?
Chen Chu hurriedly approached Zhao Tian's family and said: "There are too many things, and they cannot be settled after entering the city."

Upon hearing the words, Zhao Tian immediately recruited his clansmen into the small courtyard. In front of everyone, he took a kitchen knife and tremblingly walked to the loom, cut off the whole piece of linen that was about to be woven, and then swung the knife to cut off the loom loom. Then he turned around and said to the clansman, "I don't take anything except the quilt! If anyone can't clean up after a quarter of an hour, just stay."

This turn of events left the Zhao family stunned.

The loom is the life of the grandma. If you say it is destroyed, it will be destroyed?
But because of this, they didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, and reluctantly dropped the bulky items, leaving only light clothes and bedding.

But the little girls who followed Zhao Tian's all the year round burst into tears.

How many nights did Grandma stay up, this piece of linen was woven immediately, but she cut it by herself.
However, Zhao Tian touched Xiaomei's head lovingly and said: "Silly girl, why are you crying? How many years can my grandma keep you? From now on, you will follow your sister and brother-in-law, eat enough, wear warm clothes, don't worry about it." Follow my wife and suffer hard."

"Xiaomei doesn't go anywhere, just follows Grandma. Whoa, whoa, whoa."

The girls hugged Zhao Tian's leg and cried together.

"." Chen Chu.

I just don't let you take it, I didn't say I let you destroy it.

Tai Nai is decisive enough, but if he does it like this, it will be ruined.

Why is there a sense of moral kidnapping?
It's the end of time.

Chen Chu and his party took more than [-] members of the Zhao family and returned west to Tokyo City.

Naturally, Nongyu Lane couldn't accommodate so many people. Fortunately, there was an inn on Zaoyuan Street outside the alley, and Chen Chu took over the entire store before he settled down.

He was busy working until the application time in the afternoon, and then he went back to the house and closed the door with Chen Jingan and talked about something.

After he left, the Zhao Tian family called all the men and women of the clan and held a meeting in the courtyard.

"Master Chen is the son-in-law, and now we are the faces of our cats! As the old man is ugly, anyone who dares to ask the son-in-law for money and let the son-in-law buy things by virtue of his wife's relatives will be expelled from our Zhao family." .”

At the end of the day, Zhao Tian, ​​who was carrying his strength, was a little tired, and his voice was not high, but none of the clansmen dared to speak out.

"We can't lose face of our daughter."

Mrs. Zhao Tian sighed, and said again: "Congyi, in a few days, you will bring people to make preparations. When your son-in-law returns to Caizhou, move the grave of our Zhao family ancestors to Caizhou together."

Unlike just now, this matter immediately aroused a lot of discussion.

Although many people intend to go south with their son-in-law, moving the grave is a big deal, which means that the Zhao family will completely root in Caizhou in the future.

"Grandma Seven, our Zhao family has been multiplying in this Shilidian for a hundred years, why don't we just leave?"

It is the bitterness of life in the past few years, but the difficulty of leaving the homeland is the lingering sentiment in the hearts of the farming people.

"So what if you reproduce for a hundred years? Didn't our ancestors also leave their homes and come to Shilidian to settle down? This trip to Caizhou is nothing more than starting a new business like our ancestors did. Our cat has laid the foundation for our Zhao family there." , far more wealthy than your ancestors, you descendants of the Zhao family don't even have the courage to do so?"

Zhao Tian, ​​who questioned in a low voice, had a more resolute expression on his face than the young people present, and the courtyard became quiet again.

After a while, Zhao Congyi asked in a low voice, "Grandma, what if Mr. Chen doesn't want to bring us so many people?"

This time, Mrs. Zhao Tian was silent for a moment before saying: "I'm old and can't do anything anymore." Mrs. Zhao looked at the faces of the older juniors in the crowd for a while, and sighed: "If the son-in-law doesn't want to take it, we The old guys stay, but"

His gaze turned to the obedient girl sitting next to her in a row, and her voice subconsciously softened, "But we dolls have to be sent to Caizhou anyway."

But on Lu Renjia's side, he was beaten once for 'no reason'. Not long after Chen Chu left, he went to the city to look for his daughter.

In order to show his miserable condition, he didn't even treat the wounds on his head and face.

At noon, Xu Jue, who was temporarily called back from the duty room, was face down, and Lao Lu narrated the incident in tears.

Xu Jue's aunt and Lu Renjia's daughter cried and cursed, "Master, you have to make the decision for your father! Those soldiers from other towns who kill talents will be arrested and beaten in Kaifeng Mansion. No! You have to be beheaded."

Seeing that Xu Jue was silent, Aunt Lu couldn't help crying louder, "Master, did you hear me, Master? Go to Kaifeng Mansion and let the governor arrest you, Master?"

"Qiaoqian, you're so fucked up! I opened the Kaifeng mansion? Kill him? That's the whole mansion! Idiot!"

"."

Xu Jue's sudden rage scared Aunt Lu to shut up immediately.

Although Lu Renjia was not Xu Jue's serious father-in-law, he was also the father of his aunt. After Chen Chu learned about this relationship, he still beat and scolded him, which really made Xu Jue very embarrassed.

But Aunt Lu's words are pure sand sculptures.

Then Chen Chu is in charge of the entire capital of an important town on the border, if he is captured and the border army is in chaos, who will take the blame?
Not to mention that he doesn't have this ability, but he has this ability. Once there is chaos in the border area, it is not impossible for the imperial court to kill his family to appease the army.

It's not a day or two for the court to indulge warriors
However, he understood the truth, and he really couldn't swallow the breath in his heart.

At night, Xu Jue hosted a banquet for the judge of Kaifeng Mansion, during the banquet, he seemed to mention this matter unintentionally.

Tong San is also a good person, and he immediately guessed that Xu Jue meant to 'report to the official', but implicitly said that Lu Renjia had only been whipped a few times, and his flesh was injured, but he was not dead.
He is just your aunt's father, not your Xu Jue's real father, so it doesn't matter.

In the end, it's not worth it.

Besides, the surname Lu did occupy the ancestral property of Chen Dutong's wife's family and forced people to move their graves, so it is understandable for them to be angry
If Chen Chu had to say that he was wrong, it would be that when he asked for seals for his wife, he did not explain clearly to the relatives of the Zhao family, otherwise, the imperial court would never allow the relatives of the An people to be servants.

In short, if this incident becomes a big mess, it will bring risks and embarrass the court.
In the end, the judge even persuaded Xu Jue to return the Zhao family's ancestral property.

Xu Jue was full of anger after eating this meal, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. When he came home at night, the crying Aunt Lu made him upset again, so he simply stayed in the study for one night.

On the same night, Chen Jingan visited Du Zhaoqing, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry in the same year.

"When did brother Shouqian come to the capital?"

Since Chen Jingan acted in a low-key manner after entering Beijing, Du Zhaoqing didn't even know that Chen Jingan was in the capital at the same year.

"Hehe, I came to Beijing with a little friend to do some business a few days ago. Not only have I just settled down, I can't wait to come to find brother Guangcheng!"

"Hahaha, let's go, we haven't seen each other for many years, let's have a few drinks tonight."

Du Zhaoqing let Chen Jingan into the side hall, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while. Chen Jingan took the opportunity to look at the slightly simple layout in the hall, and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Guangcheng, you are clean and honest."

"Hey, it's not easy to live in the capital," Du Zhaoqing Xiao said.

Counting up to several dynasties, the Ministry of Industry is second only to the Ministry of Households. However, after the founding of Daqi, the civil unrest has never stopped, and a large amount of gold, silver, and silk is sent to the Kingdom of Jin every year, resulting in financial difficulties all year round. The Ministry has no construction in progress for many years.

Without projects, the Ministry of Industry naturally has no income.

As a result, Daqi now has the strange appearance that the Ministry of War is the fattest and the Ministry of Industry is the poorest.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be reluctant to let people go even though they couldn't afford to support so many craftsmen.

During the banquet, Du Zhaoqing, who had a few glasses of wine, couldn't help complaining.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jing'an took out two ingots of gold ingots, put them on the table and pushed them over.

"Shouqian, what do you mean?" Du Zhaoqing, who was still slightly drunk just now, had clear eyes.

Not being paid for nothing, Chen Jing'an sent a big gift in a good manner, so he must be asking for something. Judging from the weight of the gold ingot, what the other party is asking for should not be simple.

"Hehe, it's not a big deal when you say it. Tomorrow, brother Guangcheng met with the general supervisor, Master Xu."

Chen Jing'an confessed something in a low voice.

To Du Zhaoqing, this matter was indeed not a big deal. Since he spoke up in the same year, he should help. As for why the other party did this, it has nothing to do with him.

In short, these two ingots of gold are innocent. Look at their poor little appearance standing alone on the table.

If you don't accept it, how can you bear it?
You need to put it in your arms and take good care of it.

There is a golden house in the book, and now is the time to realize it!
The next day.

The Ministry of Industry will serve as the monitoring room. Xu Jue, who didn't sleep well last night, was depressed with dark circles under his eyes.

At that time, Du Zhaoqing swayed into the general as a prisoner to visit.

When there were only two of them left in the guard room, Du Zhaoqing closed the door and asked in a low voice, "My lord, is this the case with Lu Weng yesterday?"

Xu Jue, who was sitting on the chair, twitched his eyes and said displeasedly, "Where did you hear about this?"

"A famous relative of the lower official also lives at the foot of Moutuogang, and happened to pass by yesterday to witness it."

"Oh."

Xu Jue responded lightly, although Du Zhaoqing's sixth-rank doctor was his subordinate, but the latter worked in the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry and had nothing to do with the general supervisor.

Du Zhaoqing seemed more urgent than himself, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the warriors are domineering now. Yesterday Lu Weng had already revealed his identity, but he still hit hard! This breath cannot be swallowed!"

"Why are you in a hurry than me?" Xu Jue looked at Du Zhaoqing strangely.

"My lord! We scholars are of the same lineage. How can we endure seeing that vulgar martial artist riding on us and dominating us!"

Du Zhaoqing's face was filled with righteous indignation, Xu Jue's expression finally softened a lot, but he sighed helplessly: "Hey, I have been pampering the warriors for a long time, and I met with the Kaifeng government judge last night, and they advised me to calm down, so what can I do?"

"My lord, why should Chen Chu need the Kaifeng mansion to come forward!"

"What do you mean?"

"Hey, a few days ago, the official accidentally heard that Mrs. An's uncle and family of Chen Chuna were in our craftsman's camp."

"Really?" Xu Jue regained his energy when he heard it, and immediately got up and walked a few steps in the duty room.

But afterward, he sighed again, sat back disappointed, and said, "What if he is in the camp? After all, he is the ruler of the imperial capital. If I don't allow him to redeem his relatives, it will be unreasonable both emotionally and rationally. When you grow up, you will inevitably be reprimanded by the adults above for abolishing the public for personal reasons."

"Hehe, my lord, I have a plan. I can cut off a piece of his flesh to make him hurt, and it can also benefit our tribe. Even if Lord Shangshu knows about it, he will only praise him for the benefit of our department."

"Oh? What's the plan? Tell me quickly." Xu Jue's eyes lit up when he heard such a good thing.

Du Zhaoqing bent down and whispered in his ear: "My lord, of course we don't want to prevent that soldier from buying my wife's uncle's family, but we have to add a condition."

"What conditions?"

"Package for redemption."

"Bale?"

"Yes! It's not that he is not allowed to redeem, but he must buy all these more than 200 households and more than 200 households. More than 2 households are more than [-] yuan. Although it is not much, it can also solve the urgent needs of the Ministry of Industry. In this way , we not only solved the burden of being a prisoner, but also made him bleed, so my lord can feel a little more at ease."

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Haha, Xie Guangcheng taught me! Hahaha"
