Towards the end of the year, Wang Yun, who was ranked as an apprentice of the third company, set off from Chang'an and drove back to Bingzhou by car.

The Wang family is a famous family in the state, and Wang Yun served as the third prince in the court, so the status of the Wang family in the state can be imagined.

However, in the past few days since Wang Yun came back, he has not had a day of worry.

Since he came back, all kinds of clansmen of the Wang family have come to the door one after another, and to put it bluntly, they are asking to see and visit, and to put it bluntly, they are coming to complain.

The object of their complaint is naturally the Yan family, which has the most influence in Bingzhou.

The reasons for the lawsuit are also strange. Some claim that thousands of acres of land were encroached upon by the Yan family; Some say that the children of the Yan family injured the descendants of the Wang family. What's more, the positions in some places have always been arranged by the Wang family, but now they were suddenly removed and replaced by cronies of the Yan family.

In general, the Yan family is targeted and excluded everywhere, and does not give the Wang family face at all.

On weekdays, they can't fight the Yan family, but now that Wang Yun is back, they seem to have a backer, hoping that Wang Yun can make decisions for them.

These people are true, but Wang Yun is not a three-year-old child, how can he believe them based on the words of these people.

After he sent someone to investigate the facts, he was almost so angry that he vomited blood from these things.

The one who claimed to have been encroached upon by the Yan family for a thousand acres of land, in fact, those lands were originally the proceeds of his disgraceful appropriation, and Yan believed that he was only slightly punished and returned those lands to the people.

The one who was removed was even more excessive, taking advantage of his position to privately increase taxes, so he was dismissed from office by Yan Xin, which is still for the sake of the Wang family's face. Otherwise, it is not an exaggeration to put to death.

After learning the truth, Wang Yun took the initiative to write a letter to apologize to Yan Xin, saying that he would severely punish these black sheep in the clan.

In fact, as Wang Yun wrote, after the letter was sent, he called all the people who committed the crime, reprimanded them one by one, and ordered them to go back to reflect on and review.

The current Yan family is strong enough to dominate and merge states, and there is no Wang family that can compete with it at all.

In addition to the influence of the Yan family itself, just the next generation, the eldest son Yan Li is ranked in Jiuqing, and the second son Yan Yi guards the frontier and holds real power. Even Yan Xin, the fourth prince, who was not favored by many people in the past, has now sat in the position of the state pastor and has become a feudal official of one party.

In addition, the foreign son-in-law of the Yan family, in Chang'an City, even Wang Yun has to look up to his nose and act according to his eyes.

is only in the Wang family in Taiyuan, what can they do to fight them.

Alas~

Thinking of this, Lao Situ, who was walking alone on the street, sighed.

Passing by the street corner, a little beggar in thin clothes attracted Wang Yun's attention.

The little beggar was still young, kneeling on the cold ground, hanging his head, his little hands were purple from the cold, and he shivered from time to time, obviously unable to withstand the cold weather.

In front of her, there were two corpses covered by a mat, which looked to have been dead for a long time.

Next to it, there is a plaque that reads, 'Sell yourself to bury your parents'.

Wang Yun paused in his footsteps, and there was not too much compassion on his face.

This kind of thing happened all the time in various parts of the Han Dynasty, and it has long been commonplace.

But somehow, Wang Yun, who originally wanted to go back to the house, chose to stay and talked to the little beggar.

The little beggar raised his head, revealing his dirty face.

Only then did Wang Yun notice that this little beggar was actually a girl who hid her beauty.

According to the girl, she was originally from Wuyuan County, and some time ago, her parents took her south to the province, but she was killed by robbers on the way, and only she escaped with her life.

"What a poor boy."

Wang Yun said with a sigh, a look of sympathy appeared on his face.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Xiu'er."

…………

"Ah~sneeze!"

In front of the stove, Lu Bu, who was putting firewood, sneezed loudly.

"Husband, hurry back to the house and add some clothes, so as not to catch a cold."

Yan Wei, who was holding a spatula in her hand, stopped what she was doing, looked at her husband, and said in a slightly urging tone.

Lu Bu pinched his nose and didn't care about it: "Madame, don't worry, it's just a cold wind, and you can't invade your husband's body at all." ”

Saying that, Lu Bu also deliberately rolled up his sleeves, revealing his shirtlessness, and made some exaggerated movements, showing off the muscles on his arms by the way, making his wife 'flutter' and laugh.

The churning pot is boiling the children's favorite dumplings, a food invented by Zhang Zhongjing, which is not only delicious, but also able to keep out the cold.

Soon, the cooked dumplings surfaced.

Yan Wei scooped them up one by one and put them into the bowl.

Lu Bu took out the firewood in the stove and put it in the charcoal basin. Then he got up and walked to the door, shouting to the sisters and brothers who were having fun outside: "If you don't come back, I'll eat all the dumplings!" ”

Sanxin, the sister and brother who were piling a snowman in the clearing, thought it was true, and immediately threw down their work and flew over with a snort.

And in the Lu Mansion in Chang'an, there is no noise among the little ones, and it seems a lot quieter.

Today is the end of the year, and all the officials in the prefecture have taken leave and have been able to return home for reunion. Under the sudden reduction of personnel, this usually lively mansion seems particularly deserted.

In the courtyard near the atrium, there is a slender figure.

The girl looked up at the sky in a daze, watching the goose-feather snowflakes fall from the sky to the courtyard.

Guo Jia, who served as the head of the mansion, paused in the corridor in the distance, and when he saw the girl standing in the court, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said to himself: "Lu Bu, too, since you accepted her as a righteous daughter, why didn't you bring her with you when you returned to Bingzhou?" Didn't this clearly tell her that she didn't treat her as a family! ”

"It's her own reluctance to go to the state." I don't know when, Xi Ce appeared next to Guo Jia.

"Why?" Guo Jia didn't know why.

"She said she was going to wait for her Weng."

Xi Ce sighed unconsciously, he had also asked Dong Bai before, but Dong Bai's answer was: "In case Weng Weng comes back and can't find me, he will be in a hurry." ”

Guo Jia was stunned, Dong Zhuo had been in ambush for almost half a year, and Dong Bai didn't know it!

"Weng Weng he...... When will you pick me up? ”

Recalling the look of anticipation when Dong Bai asked him a few days ago, Guo Jia's heart was a little sour for no reason. I don't know if she will be able to withstand this huge grief when she learns that Dong Zhuo is dead.

"The general has ordered that no one should mention this." Xi Ce said lightly, habitually pulling his hand into the cuff.

Heavy snow continues.

Guo Jia didn't continue on this topic, and after a little silence, he asked the joke beside him, as if he was a little confused: "The decline of the Han Dynasty is imminent, first there are Zhang Jiao, He Jin, Dong Zhuo's generation, and now, the princes from all over the country are attacking and fighting each other. You say, Jin Ge Iron Horse, what the hell...... Who are you fighting for? ”
