Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 47
After the incident, the atmosphere in Xu's mansion was soaring, and Xu Qing's bath water was often scalding.

But for some reason, Xun Xueer was absent-minded these days. Xu Qing asked several times, but didn't find out why. She used the trick of spanking, and Xun Xueer finally admitted the trick and said that she wanted to go home and have a look.

Xu Qing thought about it, yes, it's no wonder that he hasn't been home for more than seven months.What's more, it's almost July and a half, and it's time to go home and pay homage to your parents.So Xu Qing made some preparations and planned to accompany Xun Xueer home for a stroll.

But both of them didn't want to show off, as if they went home to show off to their poor neighbors. They just wanted to sweep the grave in a low-key way, and take a look at the neighbors who were good to Xun Xueer in the past.

A simple carriage carried Xun Xueer and Xu Qing from Xu Mansion to Lu County, and the driver was Wang Shan.That idiot who eats grass is doing coolies for Xiaoru at home, lighting a fire, chopping firewood, carrying water, doing laundry, washing dishes, and running errands. He is so happy that Xu Qing can't bear to disturb them.

Xun Xueer's family is at the intersection of Luonan and Lu County, and the village is quite big, no different from Hongshan Township.There are many Xun families in the village, so it is called Xunjiatun.

"Xueer, how far is it?" Xu Qing was dizzy from being bumped by the carriage, and he didn't know how Xun Xueer and the others could sit down.

"Brother Xu, it's not far away, just pass that mountain..." Xun Xueer opened the curtain and said embarrassedly, she didn't expect Xu Qing to accompany her so considerately.

"That mountain, how could it run like..." This was the sixth time Xu Qing heard about that mountain.

"Brother Xu, we'll be here in half an hour at most..." Xun Xueer said.

"Okay, I'll sleep for a while, you see Xun Yeyu is asleep..." Xu Qing saw Xun Yeyu fell asleep on top of Xun Xueer, so jealous, so he tilted his head and hugged Xun Xueer. Xue'er's shoulders began to squint her eyes and enjoy the soft fragrance.

Xun Xueer looked at the two people, one big and one small, and decided that the whole world was packed in this carriage. She patted Xun Yeyu's head, and then stamped Xu Qing's forehead. back.

The carriage was rickety, and it took more than half an hour to arrive at Xunjiatun, but Xu Qing was "taken care of" by Xun Xueer so much that he forgot the time.When we arrived at Xunjiatun, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Young master, Xunjiatun is here, where should we go next?" Wang Shan said he was asking the young master, but he was actually asking Xun Xueer.

Xun Xueer opened the curtains again, seeing everything familiar came back to her eyes, good and bad memories flooded out, and she forgot to answer Wang Shan's words for a while.Wang Shan also knew what was going on, so he believed in the reins and drove the cart slowly. Anyway, there was still a short straight road to the entrance of the village.

"Xue'er, how is it? Has there been any change here?" Xu Qing asked after hearing the sound.

"No...it's all the same as before..." Xun Xueer leaned against Xu Qing this time, and the carriage drove slowly. Xun Yeyu obviously noticed it too. Chu Shanpo said: "Where did I let the cattle go? Huh? Isn't that Xun Xiaoer? My aunt never let him herd cattle. Why did I come to herd cattle today..."

Xu Qing felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. Xun Xue'er has really suffered for several years, so don't let her be wronged in the future.After thinking about this, Xu Qing began to feel lucky again. If it wasn't for Xun Xueer's aunt, Xu Qing might not have met such a good woman.

Xun Xueer was tempted for a moment, and wanted to ask his younger brother first what was going on at home, so she asked Xun Yeyu to bring a box of snacks and invite him over.Xun Yeyu jumped out of the carriage in response, and ran over with the snacks.

The remaining two people in the carriage looked at each other and smiled, and they also got out of the carriage. After sitting for so long, they needed to move their bodies.Wang Shan led the horse to the side, and fed some food and water.

Xu Qing whispered something in Xun Xueer's ear, causing Xun Xueer's red clouds to fly all over the sky, and then ran behind the tree alone to shake and lose weight.It is said that this kind of thing was really common in ancient times, because there were no public toilets.Even on the street, there are still people who can find a place where there are few people. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a profession called Shovel Officer, which is quite similar to today's Shovel Officer.

Soon Xun Yeyu brought back a man, about seven or eight years old, one year younger than Xun Yeyu, with some dim sum left on his lips, but just saying one word made people want to slap him:
"Sister Xun, why aren't you dead?"

As soon as the words came out, even the horse choked. Uh, of course, it is also possible that Wang Shan stuffed water into the horse's nose after hearing the words.

Xun Xueer didn't care, she bent down to look at the child in front of her and said, "Xun Xiaoer, why are you herding cattle here, where's your mother?"

"Cousin, you really didn't die, that's great, someone is cooking again at home, oh...cousin..." Xun Xiaoer wept, which was pitiful.

"What's the matter, what's the matter at home, what's the matter with your mother?" Xun Xueer asked quickly when she heard that.

"Mom is gone..." Xun Xiaoer continued to cry.

"What! Aunt, she..." Xun Xueer was frightened immediately, although she hated her aunt.But Xu Xue'er is kind-hearted, and she doesn't have the idea of ​​putting people to death and then being quick.

Xu Qing comforted Xun Xue'er, and then asked carefully, only to realize that when Xun Xiaoer said "leave", he just went back to her mother's house.The thing is like this, after the lawsuit was defeated, it was supposed to be a false accusation, and the false accusation was a crime instead. Played thirty big boards.

Thirty big boards, it sounds like thirty blows, not much, but if you hit thirty boards, the weak can lose their lives.In addition, Xun's family works in agriculture, has no money, no connections, and can't get money, so the thirty boards are solidly beaten.As a result, Uncle Xun was almost paralyzed from the beating, and only half of his life was recovered after spending all his savings on buying and selling land.Xun Xueer's aunt couldn't stand the hardship, so she ran back to her mother's house, and she didn't want her two children.Uncle Xun was honest and useless, and he couldn't ask for it back, so he had to endure it and give up.

"Then... where's your brother?" Xu Qing asked.

"Brother, brother has gone to work part-time." Xun Xiaoer stopped crying.

Xu Qing sighed, a lawsuit, dozens of boards down, a good house has become like this, although...although the crime is more than guilty, but still... Xun Xueer glanced at Xu Qing with tears in her eyes, He whispered in Xu Qing's ear: "Brother Xu, my uncle is not bad. He has sold all his fields here, so he probably can't live on. Please help me to see if I can live in Xuzhuang..."

How could Xu Qing be willing to refuse Xun Xueer's request? Before Xun Xueer finished speaking, he nodded and agreed. It was just a matter of opening up a wasteland.

Afterwards, Xun Xiaoer took the ox and went home with Xu Qing.First, I went to see the old house where Xun Xueer lived with her parents. After thinking about it sadly for a while, I went back to Uncle Xun's house.But when they were approaching the door, they heard arguing from Uncle Xun's house.

"Xun Hanzi, you have to think carefully, you still owe my family money!" said a rough voice.After a long time, a honest voice came:

"Of course I will pay back what I owe, and I won't let my son go to your house!"

"What do you pay back! Your son will starve to death at home! After following his mother well, changing his surname, he can grow up without worrying about food and clothing. What is there to pay off!"

"The flesh and blood of my Xun family..."

"Bone your mother's flesh, you want flesh and blood, okay, pay back the money!"

When Xun Xiaoer heard the quarrel at the door of the house, he was not worried but said happily: "Hey! Uncle is here!"
