The rain was dripping down, reaching out, and the drizzle like a cow's hair fell in the middle of the attack, cool and silky, very comfortable.

Yuxi said softly: "If it can rain like this for three days, maybe you can farm." "If it only rains for half a day, the ground will still be dry, and we will have to wait until next year to plow.

When Xu Wu heard this, he hurriedly said, "It will definitely be three days and three nights." "I have got the news that it also rained in Henan and Shanxi a few days ago, although it didn't rain for a long time, less than a quarter of an hour, but it was better than not half a drop.

As he was talking, he saw someone from outside and said, "Princess, Lord Han is asking to see you outside." "Except for Yunqing, even jujube dates have to be passed before entering the yard.

Yuxi nodded and said, "Please come in, big brother!" I got the news that I would come back in the next two days, but I didn't expect it to be a day late.

Yuxi looked at Han Jianming's wet clothes, frowned and said, "How could you get your clothes wet?"

Han Jianming said with a smile: "Did it just happen to be raining? Anyway, the rain wasn't heavy, so I rushed back." If it was heavy rain, he would definitely have to avoid it, but it was light rain, so he didn't care about continuing to hurry.

Yuxi shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm not afraid of getting cold? "It's too much to take care of your body.

Han Jianming couldn't resist Yuxi, so he changed his clothes before coming over. He told Yuxi in detail what happened during this period between the state and Linzhou: "Only four counties are in strict condition, and six counties have been affected, and the others are not hindered." After a pause, Han Jianming said again: "I have already counted it before I came back, this time we caught locusts, and we exchanged more than 40,000 catties of artichokes." "One pound of rice noodles is worth seven and a half pounds of potatoes, and all the people want are potatoes, and basically they don't want rice noodles.

Yuxi said: "The locust plagues in Linzhou and Yanzhou are strict for the entire northwest, but they are nothing compared to Henan and Shanxi. In Henan, the number of locusts has reached 18 million at a time. Wherever they passed, there was not a single grass left. "That's a staggering amount.

Han Jianming said: "This is mainly because we killed a lot of larvae before. "So precautions are also very important.

Yuxi nodded and said, "But the method is still not precise enough, otherwise there would be no locust plague this time." "No major damage was done, but it was a lot of money spent on locust prevention and during this time.

In the past four months, the silver coffers in the northwest have been empty. Even the sum of money that I got from the secret passage before, and only a third of it was left.

After Han Jianming finished talking about business, he took the initiative to say: "I'm tired this time, and I want to rest for two days." "Although I have been away for more than a month, I am afraid that there are a lot of things piled up according to the judge. But Han Jianming still wanted to rest for two days, he was too tired for more than a month.

Yuxi naturally would not object: "The body is the most important thing, if two days are not enough, you can rest for a few more days." "Although there are a lot of things going on now, we can't fight with our lives.

Han Jianming hummed and said, "It's nothing, I'll go back." "Go home and get a good night's sleep, I haven't had a good night's sleep during this time.

Yuxi said: "A few days ago, Aunt Jia brought Brother Hua to look for me. Seeing Han Jianming's ghostly look, Yuxi said: "Aunt Jia didn't feel quite right, and fled the capital with Brother Hua. However, on the way to the northwest, she met bandits, and the mother and son were robbed into the bandits' den. "In this world, it's normal to meet bandits, but it's rare if you don't meet them.

Han Jianming's expression was very complicated when he heard this, and after a while, he asked, "Where are Aunt Jia and Brother Hua now? Are they in the palace?" Aunt Jia was robbed to the bandits' den, and she must have lost her innocence. As for Hua Ge'er, I don't know what has become of him after staying in the bandits' den for so long.

Yuxi looked at Han Jianming's expression, and understood why Aunt Jia was so scared. Yuxi said: "Aunt Jia has remarried and has given birth to a child. This time, there was no way, so I sent the child back. ”

Han Jianming said coldly: "Why don't you send the child back earlier?" Send it back early, and Brother Hua won't have to stay in the bandits' den for so long.

Yuxi frowned and said, "Big brother, you don't know the situation outside, how can you say such a thing? Aunt Jia is a woman's family, and it is already very rare to be able to keep Brother Hua'er." If Han Jianming wasn't her brother, Yuxi would definitely be angry.

Han Jianming was not stupid, and said: "If it weren't for the disaster in Shanxi this time, she wouldn't have been able to survive, and she wouldn't have sent Hua Ge'er back." ”

Yuxi said: "Big brother, you left them in the capital at the beginning, if they were together, there would be no future." Speaking of which, our Han family owes their mother and son, how can you say such a thing now?"

The brother and sister have different ideas. As long as Han Jianming thought that Aunt Jia took Brother Hua to marry a bandit, there was a fire in his heart. Yuxi, on the other hand, thinks that as long as people live, nothing else matters.

Han Jianming saw that Yuxi was angry, so he immediately stopped talking, saving himself too many mistakes. After a while, Han Jianming calmed down and asked, "What about them now?"

Yuxi said: "After Aunt Jia sent Hua Ge'er back, she left the next day. Brother Hua is in the palace now, you can take him back later!" There is no reason for her to raise her nephew, although she is not short of that little food.

Han Jianming's face darkened, and he said, "Then the bandits also went to the northwest?" After a pause, Han Jianming understood: "The bandits joined the army?" Only in this way can they pass the checkpoint and come to the northwest.

Yuxi nodded and said, "I promised Aunt Jia that I would not disturb her life in the future." These words were to warn Han Jianming not to track down Aunt Jia's affairs.

Han Jianming naturally heard the meaning of Yuxi's words, and his heart sank. After a long while, Han Jianming spoke: "Brother Chang and Brother Hua can't have a biological mother who has changed their marriage. "It's not good for the two children.

Yuxi has no opinion on this: "When Aunt Jia came to the palace, she said that her surname was Li. Few people know her identity and will not leak the news. The only trouble is Brother Hua, I'm afraid that he won't be able to accept this. ”

Han Jianming said: "If you can't accept it, you have to accept it." ”

Seeing Han Jianming's attitude, Yuxi said with a cold face: "Big brother, Brother Hua is already six years old this year, the governor, your persecution like this will only make this child more and more disgusted with the Han family." "Originally, the Han family abandoned him, and now he still has this attitude, how can this child have a sense of belonging to the Han family.

Han Jianming couldn't listen to Yuxi's words at this time, and said: "He is my son, and he has the blood of the Han family in his body, which is a fact that can never be changed." ”

Seeing Han Jianming's attitude, Yuxi was so angry that he was going to die: "You shouldn't see Brother Hua with such an attitude." You'd better go back first, and then pick him up at the palace when you calm down. ”

Han Jianming didn't dare to quarrel with Yuxi, Yuxi was his own sister, even if he was angry and waited for his anger to subside, he would be fine. However, if Yun Qing knew that he was angry with Yuxi, he would have to leave without eating at that time: "Okay, I'll come back and take him back in two days." ”

Yuxi took a sip and said, "It's also a shame that Aunt Jia sent the child to the palace." "With Han Jianming's current attitude, Aunt Jia brought Brother Hua to him, and it is estimated that she will really die.

In the evening, Yun Qing asked Yuxi: "I heard Ah Wu say that you quarreled with your eldest brother, did you quarrel over Aunt Jia and Brother Hua'er?" In business, Han Jianming didn't dare to quarrel with Yuxi.

Yuxi gave a general account of what happened in the afternoon, and after finishing speaking, he said angrily: "If it weren't for the protection of Brother Hua, how could Aunt Jia be willing to commit to a vicious bandit." The eldest brother didn't care about Aunt Jia's friendship to protect Brother Hua'er, and blamed her for not sending the child to the northwest earlier, which was too much. "Li Erpao can not dislike Aunt Jia's identity and treat her and Brother Hua sincerely, that is the luck of their mother and son. Otherwise, the mother and son would have become two piles of bones.

Yun Qing frowned and said, "It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, so you should not get involved in this matter." "If it's a business matter, they can talk to Han Jianming, but he really doesn't want to take care of this kind of housework. It's really that there are too many bad things in the Han family, and it annoys him to hear it.

Yuxi didn't want to care, just looking at Han Jianming's attitude, he knew that Hua Ge'er would not have a good life when he went back. Yuxi thought about it and said, "Brother Hua is also six years old, how about you let him go to Zhuangzi and practice martial arts with other children?"

Yunqing said: "You have to go through the test, and you can only enter after the test is passed." And the training inside is also very hard, and I am afraid that this kid will not be able to stand it. This is also because Yunqing knows that Brother Hua will learn kung fu, otherwise he wouldn't say that.

Yuxi said: "Let him try! As long as he can pass the guò test, those training should not be a problem." "Brother Chang also went to the exam before, but he didn't pass guò. However, Yuxi felt that Hua Ge'er had suffered so much and had to be firm in his mind, and he had practiced martial arts again, so the probability of passing the guò test was still very high.

Yunqing nodded and said, "Then give it a try." "If you can get through guò, you will also add a talent.

As Yuxi expected, Hua Ge'er passed the test. Yuxi told Han Jianming the news and said, "Brother Hua has this talent, so he can't waste it." Yuxi is very aware of Han Jianming's temperament, and he puts the interests of the family first. As long as Hua Ge'er is useful, his attitude will change.

Han Jianming was silent for a while, and said, "When are you going to Zhuangzi?" After hearing it for five days, Han Jianming said: "Then I'll take him back today!" It can be seen that Han Jianming's attitude has changed.

Yuxi nodded and said: "Blood is thicker than water, as long as you really love him, this child will soon accept you." "Brother Hua, this kid, she looks pretty good.

Han Jianming hummed and said, "I know." ”
