Chapter 18

This is a very common story (for Wei Qingyu, such plots often appeared in TV dramas in previous lives), the old man, that is, Grandpa Xu’s grandfather was a down-and-out talent, and he managed to scrape together enough money to go to Beijing for the exam. I went to play with my sister in the county, and was seen by the magistrate's son, who fell in love with the scholar's sister at first sight.

If the county magistrate's son was officially hired to marry him back, the Xu family might still consider it, but the magistrate's son had already married a wife, and he wanted to take a concubine.

Although Xu's family is poor, they are well-known anyway, and they are still very arrogant. When they heard that they were going to be concubines, they refused.

The son of Renzhi County didn't care so much, so he immediately robbed his father and beat Ren's father to a disability. The Xiucai sister also had a backbone, and couldn't bear the humiliation, so she just hit her head to death. , not to mention that the father was seriously injured.

The neighbors rushed to send a letter to Xu Xiucai. Xu Xiucai heard about it two days after he left the county. , My father and mother are also dead.

The matter became serious, and the county magistrate also heard about the foolish things his son did. Xu Xiucai is different from ordinary civilians. He has a reputation and good grades. It's really not certain who wins or loses.

The magistrate made a decisive attack and arrested Xu Xiucai on the charge of theft. Xu Xiucai was arrested after crying twice in front of his parents' coffin. When he was exiled to Shaanxi, the world was about to be in chaos at that time, and any laws and regulations could be broken. The guards who detained him exchanged him for two catties of wine. He was sold to a quarry for quarrying Lantian jade.

The quarry is strictly guarded, not to mention that he can't escape, even if he escapes, the chance of revenge is almost zero. Watching merchants come and spend a lot of money to buy stones from time to time, he has personally watched them change from poverty to poverty. Get rich or go from rich to poor.

Immortals are hard to break jade, no one knows whether the stones bought are priceless jade, or white flowers and worthless stones.

However, humans can increase the probability of winning a bet according to the law.

Xu Xiucai used this convenience to record them one by one after ten years of observation. Unfortunately, until his death, he still could not leave the quarry, but was resold to several quarries.

He pinned his hatred and hope on his son.

In this way, the book was passed on to the old man. When the old man was 32 years old, he finally walked out of the quarry, made his fortune by betting on stones, and walked to the top of wealth step by step...

Wei Qingyu propped his chin and listened carefully to his narration. This story would be a revenge and inspirational TV series in modern times. Now, Wei Qingyu looked the old man up and down, "Didn't you say that you made a lot of money? How did it become the present?" Like this? Could it be that the descendants of the magistrate did it?"

A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly, he said: "His descendants have already turned into dry bones..."

Wei Qingzhen shuddered.

The old man looked at Wei Qingyu, with a smile in his eyes, "If I had met you two years earlier, you would probably be ashamed by me now, it's just that people have experienced a lot, and some things will be taken lightly.

"I'm not a good person, but who can say that I am a bad person? It's just to live, to live better."

But you can't hurt others because of this, Wei Qingzhen opened his mouth, but he still couldn't say anything.

"Winners and losers, I have fallen to this point because I am not as good as others, but if I want to burn the blood of three generations of the Xu family, how can I be willing? I have always wanted to give this book away, but I have seen it in the past year. The person in question is either too kind and too cowardly, or too greedy and arrogant... I just thought, instead of making people fall into the Xu family's reputation, it would be better to burn it... I didn't expect to meet you before I died This kid."

Wei Qingzhen frowned and said, "It's just that I don't have the capital."

The old man said with a smile: "I sent her to you because of your character, whether you use it for yourself or give it away, in short, I can trust you."

Wei Qingyu quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't, I can't even trust myself, maybe I'll exchange it for money when I'm short of money."

"That's my repayment of your kindness."

Wei Qingyu was a little reluctant to take over, "There won't be any enemies chasing and killing me..."

There was a cold light in the old man's eyes, "They? They don't have that ability yet." The deepest reason why the old man felt this way was because Wei Qingyu was a daughter, and she was a daughter with no money. Stone gambling is a very expensive profession.

Seeing that Wei Qingzhen took the book, the old man smiled slightly and said softly, "This way I can feel at ease."

Wei Qingyu looked at him in surprise, but the old man had gradually closed his eyes.

It was not the first time for Wei Qingyu to see a dead person. She was by her side when her grandfather passed away, but it was the first time to face a dead person alone.

what to do?Pretend you didn't see it, and let the patrols throw people into mass graves for dogs to chew on?Or to the crematorium...

The ancients paid attention to burial, no matter what it was, she didn't have the courage to turn a blind eye when she took his things.

Wei Qingzhen looked at him with some doubts and some annoyance, did he call him here just to plot this?
Wei Qingyu was a little frustrated, but still had no choice but to find the bookstore owner, who was the only person she could think of who would help her.

The owner of the bookstore looked at the beggar lying flat on the ground with his mouth slightly open, swallowed and said, "You want to hold back for him?"

Wei Qingyu nodded sadly, "I don't know the owner of the coffin shop, and I had to be carried outside the city to be buried..."

The bookstore owner sighed, "How much money do you have with you? Even if you don't have funeral wine, the cheapest coffin plus hiring will cost at least five taels of silver."

Wei Qingyu also sighed, "Enough."

The owner of the bookstore got the word, and hurriedly invited eight people to help, and bought a coffin at a cheaper price, while Wei Qingyu bought a shroud and some paper money for the old man.

She has died once, although I don't know if she has been to the underworld, but she is in awe of these now, it is better than nothing.

Before parting, the bookstore owner couldn't help asking, "Why are you restraining him? There are many beggars in the city."

Wei Qingyu was a little melancholy, "That man passed on a skill to me before he died, so he has a master-student relationship. I can't just watch him expose his corpse to the wilderness."

What skills can be learned overnight?This stupid boy must have been deceived.

The owner of the bookstore had a pale face, but he still didn't say anything. What's rare is that he has a pure heart.

When Wei Qingyu returned home, Wei Qingtong was crying because she couldn't find her sister. The little man was sitting between the quilts with Bai Bai in his arms, tears streaming down his face, and he kept yelling "Sister, sister."

Wei Qingyu hugged him distressedly, "It's all my sister's fault, it's too late, Brother Tong, please hit my sister, okay? Our Tong brother is the most obedient, don't cry, don't cry..."

Brother Tong lay on Wei Qingzhen's shoulder, crying.

He is still young and doesn't know much, but every time he wakes up, he can always see his sister, which really frightened him this time.

For a long time after that, Wei Qingtong followed Wei Qingtong closely, even if he went to the yard to wash clothes, he insisted on following, and when he couldn't see him for a while, he would cry at the top of his voice, and it was even more difficult to sleep at night. Wrapping her sister tightly, Wei Qingzhen felt distressed and worried.

Wei Qingtong is too attached to her, is it because she is the only companion in his life?What if he grows up?This kind of attachment was okay when he was a child, but when he grows up, it will become a weakness of him, and even cause a cowardly temperament.

Wei Qingzhen frowned secretly, why is it so difficult to raise children?She remembered that back then, she didn't bother her parents much. After running in the woods for a few years, she grew up and was very sensible.

Anyway, New Years Eve is here.

What Wei Qingzhen didn't expect was that the members of the Wei family would let them go out to celebrate the New Year together. After seeing people surrounded by circles in the hall, Wei Qingtong, who was leading Wei Qingtong, finally knew the reason.

During the New Year, people in the clan want to pay New Year's greetings, and Mrs. Wei is the most powerful branch of the Wei family, so everyone gathered in the Wei family.

With the door closed, Mrs. Wei can not care about how Wu and Xiao Wu treat the two siblings, but Mrs. Wei will never allow people to criticize such an unavoidable occasion.

Seeing the two people who came with them, Mrs. Wu smiled and waved: "Come here, let grandma see, are you feeling better? Have you taken any medicine?"

Wei Qingzhen lowered her head and smiled shyly, and Wu didn't mind if she answered or not, she just pointed to a girl beside her and said, "Take the fourth young master to the old lady's place."

Wei Qingyu grabbed Wei Qingtong's hand, smiled at Wu, and said, "Grandmother, my brother is still young, how can I entertain guests with my grandfather, why not just keep him here, and he is weak, and he had a high fever not long ago ..."

"That's right," Wu changed her words with a smile, "Then take care of him, be careful, and don't catch a cold."

"Yes." Wei Qingtong took Wei Qingtong to ask the elders in the hall one by one, and then sat down under Wei Qingshao. The maid looked at Wei Qingtong, and added a chair for him beside her, Wei Qingtong He apologized to Wei Qingzhi who was next: "Fourth sister, Brother Tong is weak, so let him sit here, okay? I can take care of it too."

Wei Qingzhi, who was just five years old, snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Wei Qingzhen twitched the corners of her mouth, five years old, what was she doing when she was five years old?Looking at others, he knew how to face other people's requests when he was only five years old.

Wei Qingyu ignored her, since it was New Year's Eve anyway, she didn't care about the influence, but everyone in the Wei family cared except her and Wei Qingtong, so it would be much easier.

It may be that they have greeted them, or the clan has heard or understood their situation more or less. After a whole day, no one pays attention to them, and Wei Qingyu doesn't care. drink what other people drink.

After seeing off the guests from the clan, it was time for his family to observe the new year. Mrs. Wei frowned and looked at the siblings, and said coldly: "If you are tired, you should go back first, and there is no need to keep the new year."

Would she be willing to look at their faces here?

Wei Qingyu lowered his head and pulled Wei Qingtong up, bowed in circles, and left while holding Wei Qingtong.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, they thought that Wei Qingzhen had to fight for himself more or less.

There was a cold light in the old master Wei's eyes, and he watched the siblings leave with a livid face.

Wei Qingyu had figured it out a long time ago. It is said that her grandfather died to save the crown prince and the Ren family. Therefore, as long as the Wang family and the Ren family do not fall, Mrs. Wei will not take her own life.

Now she doesn't need the Wei family's food and clothing, so what else does she have to worry about?
