Chapter 43: The second uncle is Bi Ma Wen
The second uncle really can't help it, and Liangchen also knows that he can't help it.
You ask Gonggong Li to say hello to the county, and most of the county wants to sell face.
But you let a horse wash greet the county, saying don't requisition my family's land, it is estimated that the good minister can be beaten out by the officials, and his old Wei family has also become the laughing stock of the county.
The second uncle was a little ashamed, his brother, who had not seen him for twenty years, sent his own nephew to Beijing to look for him, but he couldn't help the family solve any problems.
Rao is thick-skinned enough, and at this moment, he is also extremely self-blaming, constantly wailing and sighing.
When the good minister saw it, he was also quite uncomfortable.
Inferring from the second uncle's current situation, he must have had a hard time in the palace in the past 20 years.
"Li Tou, it's rare for your nephew to come, is it there to talk?" Chen Mo saw that the uncle and nephew were just standing like this, so he reminded him.
"Oh, yes!"
The second uncle was reminded like this, and then he remembered that his nephew had come all the way, and he couldn't even know where he lived.
"Liangchen, come, come with uncle!"
The second uncle snatched the burden of the good minister, and then pulled him to the horse farm with both guilt and joy.
Liangchen did not refuse, because if nothing else, the second uncle's residence would probably also be his temporary residence. He didn't have a penny on him, and he didn't go home with any entanglements, and now he can only point to the second uncle.
If the second uncle is in the palace, it is impossible for the good minister to enter, but fortunately, this pond is just a horse farm of the imperial horse supervisor, and the management is not as strict as in the palace.
If any relatives in the horse farm come, they can secretly bring them in, as long as they come out at night, and the stewards turn a blind eye to this.
Chen Mo was very interested in not asking the second uncle why his nephew's surname was Wei, but his surname was Li.
On the way, many of the little eunuchs in the racecourse were very curious when they saw the second uncle pulling a young man back happily, and many people smiled and asked if the second uncle had picked up a son outside the palace.
"It's not a son, but it's closer than a son, this is my nephew, my own nephew! I came from my hometown to see me! ”
The second uncle said when he met people, and the good minister listened to it on the side, and his heart was warm. No matter how mixed the second uncle was at home back then, he was always his second uncle.
Liangchen noticed that whenever the second uncle talked about him with others, he would always emphasize that he had come from his hometown to see him, which sounded like an ordinary word, but it contained too much content.
Among them, there is more of a lack of family affection.
For 20 years, the second uncle has not contacted the family, and the family has not looked for him, so you can imagine how lost he has been in the past 20 years.
There are more than 100 horses in this horse farm in Jishuitan, all of which are Mongolian horses from the warrior camp, but they are only kept here in the summer, and when the autumn comes, they will be moved to Nanhaizi, where there is grassland.
The second uncle's residence is by the horse pen in the southeast of the horse farm, and his errand is to wash the horse ring. There are more than a dozen eunuchs in this horse washing circle with the second uncle, all of whom are fire fighters, and Chen Mo is also one of them.
These people are either the same as the second uncle, who are old and illiterate, have no future, and have been driven here to do hard work; Either they offended someone in the palace and were sent over.
The former is almost destined to be on the horse farm for the rest of his life, but the latter still has a chance to change his fate.
For example, this Chen Mo was taught by the inner study hall, and after completing his studies, he was appointed as a supervisor in the department, and his future was bright, but unfortunately he offended someone who should not be offended, and he was beaten to this cold corner at once.
The three rooms in one room were the second uncle's residence, and there was no bed in it, but several layers of hay spread on the ground and mats. Look, it's a floor.
There were five people living in the second uncle's room, and after Liangchen followed him in, he smelled a strange smell in the air. It's not the smell of horse manure, but the indescribable strange smell, faintly like the smell of urine.
The smell was really a little choking, Liangchen subconsciously frowned, the second uncle didn't see it, and only cared about happily letting Liangchen sit.
Chen Mo saw it on the side, but he didn't speak, and he also felt a pain in his heart. Because this smell is the nightmare that these pure people will never get rid of.
Compared with normal people, the urine of a clean eunuch is always not clean, and over time, this person will naturally have a smell.
If you have a job, you can wash every day, and then put a sachet on your body, and you won't be able to smell the smell.
Those who have no job, especially those who are small firefighters like the second uncle, how can they have that condition. It's okay in summer, rush in the sea, and in winter, who dares to wash it with cold water?
It took ten days and a half months to get the chance to take a hot bath, so Liangchen now felt that the smell was heavy, and if he came in winter, I am afraid that there would be no taste at all now.
The nephew is rare to come, and the second uncle will definitely entertain him. He happily called a small fireman, took out a silver bean, and told him to go outside the field to buy some food and come back.
The second uncle was the head of the dozen or so firefighters, because he was not only the oldest, but also the tallest, and he also had good horsemanship, and his strength was not small, so the others took him as the head. The people in charge above are looking for the second uncle if they have anything.
"Liangchen, you don't know, the second uncle is here to raise horses for the emperor, this is a good errand! … Does Bi Ma Wen know? is the grandson monkey in Journey to the West, a grandson monkey with such great skills does this job, do you say that the second uncle's errand is good? ”
The second uncle proudly told his nephew about his errand, and Liangchen knew that he was bragging, but he didn't dare to break it, and nodded and pretended to admire.
After talking about himself, the second uncle asked about his brother and the family, and Liangchen picked up some important things to say, and told the second uncle that he had an older brother and sister above him.
"My eldest brother is really blessed, and in the future, two sons and a daughter will die for him."
The second uncle was happy for the eldest brother for a while, and suddenly his expression darkened, and Liangchen guessed that he might be thinking about his daughter, so he told him about the recent situation of the eldest sister Wei Chunhua.
"The eldest sister is doing quite well in the Yang family, she gave birth to a son, and the second uncle is your grandfather." Liangchen didn't dare to tell the second uncle and sister the true situation in the Yang family, for fear that he would be sad.
"Spring flowers are doing well, it's good, it's good..."
The second uncle had a painful look on his face, he ruthlessly sold his daughter to the Yang family back then, and now that he thinks about it, he regrets it very much.
Over the years, he has slapped himself a lot, and now he hears from his nephew that his daughter has a son, and his life is also good, and he is somewhat comforted as a father.
The uncle and nephew talked about the affairs of the family, and it was not long before the little eunuch bought the food. The second uncle set up the dishes and chopsticks, took out a bottle of wine left over from the last drink from the corner, poured a bowl for Liangchen, and poured a bowl for himself.
After eating, the second uncle took Liangchen around the horse farm and walked around the pond. Towards evening, the second uncle took Liangchen back to the house, and then turned over some money under the quilt, about a dozen copper plates.
Xu felt that it was too little, so the second uncle opened the box in the corner of the wall again, rummaged through it, and finally found a silver bean and a few copper plates.
The money was not too much, and the second uncle handed it to Liangchen with some embarrassment, and said to him: "You can enter the field during the day, but you won't let you stay at night." There are still people above the second uncle, it's not good for you to stay, and it's not clean here, and you don't feel comfortable living. You take this money to find an inn to live in first, and I will find a way to ask Grandpa Liu if he can help us with the matter of the family. ”
Of course, Liangchen couldn't embarrass the second uncle, and the second uncle said that he would find some help from Gonggong Liu tomorrow, so he nodded and agreed, and agreed with the second uncle to come over tomorrow afternoon.
The second uncle kept sending Liangchen to the outside of the field, and he had to ask Liangchen to go first, and when he couldn't see his nephew, he reluctantly turned back.
He was very happy that the eldest brother had not forgotten him, and the family had not forgotten him.
With the money given by the second uncle, Liangchen originally wanted to find a cheap inn, but when he walked outside an inn, he suddenly turned around and left.
He no longer went to the inn, but went to Bei'anmen.
Ke Yinyue lived there.
