Chapter 348 Uncle and Qingqing

Shen Hui didn't expect that she just went home to check it out, but the house was very grand, and it looked like she was welcoming the imperial concubine home.

Although she was pregnant before marriage and Jingru is so big now, the Shen family does not feel embarrassed at all and feels very lucky. This is so far from what she expected.

However, no matter what, in short, she hasn't been home for a long time, and this time she feels happy.

Moreover, according to Brother Feng's wishes, after she returned home and stayed for a while, it was time for her to hold a wedding in Pingjiang. She has been waiting for this late wedding for a long time.

Just when Shen Hui returned home, Han E and Han Xue also returned to Pingjiang.

They always said that they were coming to Pingjiang to join their uncle, but they stopped in Yangzhou. They followed a magical man named Chen Feng, who is now a hero in several places.

Until now, they finally had the opportunity to come to Pingjiang.

In addition to Chen Feng, their relatives in this world are only one aunt here.

Following the curved alley, the two walked to the front of a somewhat dilapidated house.

"Uncle, uncle..." Han E shouted into the house.

"Cruff." The door opened with a sound, and a woman poked her head out, looked at the two of them, and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Han Xue felt a little suspicious. This woman was not speaking authentic Suzhou dialect, who was she?

"We'll find my uncle, Tang Xian." Han E said.

"It's here." The woman agreed and then asked, "Where did you come from?"

"Qingqing, who is outside?" At this moment, an old man's voice came from inside.

He was gray-haired and his feet were a little sloppy. He was leaning on a crutch. Is this man his uncle? Why did he become so old? Han E and Han Xue were both suspicious, but the outline of his thin face was eighty-slightly similar to what he remembered.

"Uncle, our two sisters came from Dingyuan. My name is Han E. She is Han Xue. We saw it in Dingyuan five years ago." Han E said.

Hearing this, the old man widened his eyes. Finally, he remembered that it was indeed five years ago, at that time, he had been to Dingyuan. At that time, Han Li had just resigned and returned home, living in Dingyuan. These two sisters were still two little girls at that time.

Now, these two sisters have grown up so old.

"Xiao'e, Xiaoxue, come in quickly, come in." The old man said tremblingly: "In a flash, five years have passed, but I didn't expect that you have all grown up so old. By the way, where is your father? Why didn't you come with you this time?"

Father, when he mentioned these two words, Han Xue's eyes turned red: "Three years ago, there was a severe drought in the north, and his father starved to death..."

Hearing Han Xue say this, the old man's face twitched. Alas, with Han Li's literature and martial arts, there was such an ending. He was both civil and military, so how could he starve to death? It's so sad.

These two sisters must have suffered a lot in these three years, right?

"Xiao'e, Xiaoxue, since you are here, don't treat yourself as an outsider. Although your uncle is old, you can still care about your meal. Let's live here first." The old man said.

"Uncle, why haven't you heard of this sister Qingqing before?" Xiao E was about to tell her the old man's words, but Xiaoxue stopped her first and asked.

Han E has been staying in Yangzhou for a long time. In recent years, Han Xue has followed Chen Feng to travel around the country, and her knowledge has far surpassed Han E. She has discovered that this Qingqing seems to have a suspicious identity.

My uncle and uncle have no children. He has several shops on the street in Pingjiang City. He lives by collecting rent and has never hired any servants. Where did this Qingqing come from?

Hearing the two of them asking, the old man smiled bitterly: "A few months ago, Qingqing was wandering on the streets. I saw that she was lonely and helpless, and she was very pitiful. If no one helped her, she might end up in the fireworks. So she brought her back and treated her as half a daughter. She also served me, the old man."

Speaking of this, Qingqing's eyes seemed to be red, and she looked charming. She looked so detailed that she was still a beauty. If she dressed up again, she might be able to compete for a courtesan. However, it always looks a bit weird.

"But, I didn't expect that a big change happened a month ago. If Qingqing hadn't taken care of me, I'd probably be dead on the street, I'm so bad."

After saying this, Han E and Han Xue were both stunned. When they came here, they could see that their uncle's life seemed to be very unsatisfactory.

"Why?" Han E asked.

"Originally, there were three properties on the street at home. I rented out the zinc house. The rent was enough for my own use. However, I didn't expect that last month, one of the houses suddenly caught fire and more than 20 people died in it. Even the merchants who rented the house died here. The families of the deceased found me and asked me to compensate."

"How could this happen?" Han E said: "Since the house has been rented out, the merchant should be responsible. If our house is burned, we should also find the merchant to make losses."

"I think so too." The old man said: "But the merchant had been burned to death. As a last resort, the relatives of the deceased sued me to the government office, and the judge ordered me to compensate the people, each of which was 200 taels of silver."

Each person has two hundred taels, which is more than four thousand taels. The next situation, Han E and his sisters can already guess.

"I was not convinced, but they forcibly confiscated all of my properties and sold them to the people." The old man said: "I am already penniless. Thanks to Qingqing, I went outside to take on some casual work, washing clothes, and the other things, which made me settle here temporarily, otherwise..."

The old man told the process out, but Han Xue had already heard some contradictions: If Qingqing could take on this plan and take good care of the old man, then why would she live on the streets?

What happened to my uncle is so unexpected. There must be problems here!

All of this is probably related to Qingqing + Xue has already looked at Qingqing with suspicious eyes.

"Master, Qingqing has always been grateful for your ability to take in Qingqing. Now, he has just done what he can, and these things will pass." At this time, Qingqing, who was standing beside him, said: "Now, the two ladies are here again. Qingqing goes to the kitchen to work first and cook a delicious meal for you."

"Qingqing, take this half-paid money and go out to buy some vegetables." At this time, Han E finally said from the side and took out half-paid money from her chest.

"This..." Qingqing looked at the money and was embarrassed to take it.

The old man was also a little embarrassed. Originally, these two nieces came to join him, but now, I am afraid that even the delicious meals at home can't afford to greet him.

This made him feel very guilty.

However, Qingqing still took it. The master hadn't seen any meat and fish for more than ten days. Now, two more guests came, so they had to make it a little more decent.

"Then Qingqing will go shopping for vegetables." Qingqing said, taking the money, taking a small step, and walking out of the room.

"Xiao'e, Xiaoxue, what are you two doing now?" The old man watched Qingqing go out, and then the two sisters held one arm in one hand and walked into the room, asking while walking.

"Uncle, we learned a craft and sold snacks outside. Although we couldn't make much money, we could spend it ourselves, so it was fine." Han Xue immediately took over and said, and after he finished speaking, she continued to ask the old man: "Uncle, can you tell us about this when you are suing in the yamen? Maybe we can help. No matter where you go, everything can't be done."

"Okay, let's talk about it after we enter the room." The old man said.

Pingjiang Prefecture.

Judge Yang Ji was sitting on the high official desk. There were several complaints on his desk that he needed to read them first and then try them.

After meeting Lord Chen last time, Yang Ji showed his talent. Sure enough, he was soon appreciated by Lord Chen and was named the judge of Pingjiang.

Chen Feng did a special job in selecting officials in the occupied areas.

Logically speaking, Chen Feng is now an absolute rebellion. Many leaders of this era want to immediately put the hat of the king or even the emperor on their heads.

But Chen Feng was not. When others called him, most of them still called him Lord Chen. When Chen Feng appointed officials in his own occupied area, he still held them according to the official positions originally set up by the Yuan Dynasty.

In this way, it seems that Chen Feng is still an official in the court, and these officials are still managing these areas, which makes many people have an illusion. However, Chen Feng still does his own way, as if one day he will become a person in the court again.

It is not that no one has ever mentioned to Chen Feng that he has become king, just like Xu Shouhui and Han Liner, but all of these people flattered and slapped the iron nails, and Chen Feng condemned them with a righteous and righteous expression.

Although it was still the original official position, few people continued to hold it. Most of the people who could hold these official positions were carefully selected by Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong, and then confirmed after reading it for Chen Feng.

Even so, Jiangnan literati have already heard of the news, and many people hope to come to Pingjiang and seek refuge with Lord Chen to display their talents.

Yang Ji was very lucky because of the lack of literati under Lord Chen, and he soon became the judge of Pingjiang.
