Chapter 601 Conflict Between Brother and Sister
The rain was pattering, and when I stretched out my hand, the drizzle like cow hair fell on the cup, which was cool and very comfortable.
Yuxi said softly: "If it rains like this for three days, maybe you can farm." If it only rains for half a day, the land is still dry, and it will have to wait until next year for farming.
Hearing this, Xu Wu hurriedly said: "It will definitely rain for three days and three nights." I have already got the news that it rained in Henan and Shanxi a few days ago. Although it didn't last long, less than a quarter of an hour, it still Better than nothing at all.
Just as he was talking, he saw someone from outside reporting back: "Princess, Mrs. Han is asking to see you outside." Except for Yun Qing, even Zao Zao had to report before entering the courtyard.
Yuxi nodded her head and said, "Brother, please come in!" She had received news that she would be back in the next two days, but she didn't expect it to be a day late.
Yuxi looked at Han Jianming's wet clothes, frowned and said, "How did you get your clothes wet?"
Han Jianming said with a smile, "Did it happen to be raining? Anyway, it wasn't too rainy, so I rushed back." If it was heavy rain, he must avoid it, but it was light rain, so he didn't care and continued on his way.
Yuxi shook her head helplessly and said: "Aren't you afraid of catching the cold? I'll talk about something later, go change clothes first." This is too disrespectful to her body.
Han Jianming couldn't hold back Yuxi, so he came after changing his clothes. He told Yuxi in detail what happened in Jiangzhou and Linzhou during this period: "Only four counties are seriously affected, and another six counties are affected, and the rest are fine." After a pause, Han Jianming said again : "Before I came back, I have already counted it. This time we caught locusts, we exchanged more than 40,000 catties of yams." A catty of rice noodles is worth more than seven and a half catties of yams. The common people want yams, and almost no rice noodles.
Yuxi said: "The locust plagues in Linzhou and Yanzhou are serious for the entire Northwest, but they are nothing compared to Henan and Shanxi. In Henan, the number of locusts reached 18 million every time they appeared. Wherever there is, not a single blade of grass is left." This number is astonishing.
Han Jianming said: "This is mainly because we killed a lot of larvae before." So preventive measures are also very important.
Yuxi clicked and said: "But the method is still not precise enough, otherwise there would be no locust plague this time." No major damage was caused, but the cost of preventing the locust plague and the period of time was nothing small amount.
In the past four months, the silver vaults in the northwest have been empty. Even the money obtained from the secret passage before, only one-third of it is left.
After talking about the business, Han Jianming took the initiative to say, "I'm so tired this time, I want to take a good rest for two days." Although he has been away for more than a month, the inspector probably has accumulated a lot of things. But Han Jianming still wanted to rest for two days, because he was too tired for more than a month.
Naturally, Yuxi 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 many things to do now, they can't risk their lives.
Han Jianming hummed and said, "It's nothing, I'll go back." Go home and have a good sleep, and haven't slept well during this time.
Yuxi said: "A few days ago, Aunt Jia brought Brother Hua over to find me." Seeing Han Jianming's look of seeing a ghost, Yuxi said: "Aunt Jia didn't feel right, she took Brother Hua and ran away Beijing. But she met a bandit on the way to the northwest, and the mother and son were taken to the bandit's den." In this world, it is normal to meet bandits, and it is rare to not meet them.
Han Jianming's expression was very complicated when he heard this, and he asked after a while, "Where are Aunt Jia and Brother Hua now? Are they in the palace?" Aunt Jia must have lost her innocence when she was robbed to the bandit's den. As for Brother Hua, he didn't know what he was like after staying in the bandit's den for so long.
Looking at Han Jianming's expression, Yuxi understood why Aunt Jia was so scared.
Yuxi said: "Aunt Jia has remarried, and she also gave birth to a child. This time, there is no way to send the child back."
Han Jianming said in a cold voice, "Why didn't you send the child back earlier?" Brother Hua wouldn't have to stay in the bandit's den for so long if he sent it back earlier.
Yuxi frowned and said, "Brother, it's not that you don't know the situation outside, how can you say such a thing? Aunt Jia is a woman, it's hard to keep Brother Hua." If Han Jianming wasn't her brother , Yuxi will definitely scold him angrily.
Han Jianming was not stupid, and said: "If it wasn't for the disaster in Shanxi this time, she couldn't survive, and she wouldn't send Brother Hua back."
Yuxi said: "Brother, you were the one who left them in the capital at the beginning. If they were together, nothing would happen later. Speaking of which, our Han family owed their mother and son, how can you say such a thing now?"
The two brothers and sisters have different ideas. As long as Han Jianming thinks about Aunt Jia bringing Brother Hua to marry a bandit, his heart will be full of fire. On the other hand, Yuxi felt that as long as people were alive, the others were not important.
Seeing that Yuxi was angry, Han Jianming stopped talking immediately, so as not to make too many mistakes. After a while, Han Jianming calmed down and asked, "What about them now?"
Yuxi said: "After Aunt Jia sent Brother Hua back, she left the next day. Brother Hua is now in the palace, you can take him back later!" There is no reason for her to raise a nephew, although she does not Those who lack that little food.
Han Jianming's face darkened, and he said, "The bandit has also arrived in the northwest?" After a pause, Han Jianming understood: "The bandit has 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 will not disturb her life in the future." This is to warn Han Jianming not to pursue Aunt Jia's affairs.
Han Jianming naturally heard the meaning of Yuxi's words, and his heart sank. After a while, Han Jianming said: "Brother Chang and Brother Hua cannot have a remarried biological mother." This matter is not good for the two children.
Yuxi has no objection to this: "Aunt Jia said that her surname was Li when she came to the palace. Few people know her identity, so they won't leak the news. The only trouble is Brother Hua, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept this matter."
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: "Brother, Brother Hua is six years old this year. It's the governor. Your persecution will only make this child hate the Han family even more." Originally, the Han family abandoned him. He, with this attitude now, how can he make this child have a sense of belonging to the Han family.
Han Jianming couldn't listen to Yu Xi's words at all at this time, and said, "He is my son, and the blood of the Han family is flowing on his body. This is a fact that can never be changed."
Seeing Han Jianming's attitude, Yuxi was so angry that she said, "It's not appropriate to see Brother Hua with such an attitude. You'd better go back first, and then go to the palace to pick him up when you calm down."
Han Jianming didn't dare to quarrel with Yuxi. Yuxi was his own sister, so even if he was angry, he would be fine when his anger subsided. But if Yun Qing knew that he was angry with Yu Xi, he would have to walk away without finishing his meal: "Okay, wait two days and come back to take him back."
Yuxi let out a mouthful, and said, "It's also thanks to Aunt Jia for sending the child to the palace." With Han Jianming's current attitude, Aunt Jia probably would have died if she brought Brother Hua in front of him.
In the evening, Yun Qing asked Yu Xi: "I heard from Ah Wu that you had a fight with your uncle? Did you quarrel about Aunt Jia and Brother Hua?" Han Jianming didn't dare to quarrel with Yu Xi on business matters.
Yuxi briefly talked about what happened in the afternoon, and then said angrily: "If it wasn't for protecting Brother Hua, how could Aunt Jia be willing to commit herself to a vicious bandit. Big brother doesn't care about Aunt Jia protecting Brother Hua It is too much to blame her for not sending the child to the Northwest earlier." It is the luck of their mother and son that Li Erpao can not dislike Aunt Jia's identity and treat her and Brother Hua sincerely. Otherwise, the mother and son would have become two piles of bones.
Yun Qing frowned and said, "It's hard for an honest official to decide on housework, so you better not get involved in it." 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 just that there are too many bad things about the Han family, and it annoys him to hear about them.
Yuxi didn't want to care about it either, just looking at Han Jianming's attitude, she knew that Brother Hua would not have a good time going back. Yuxi thought about it and said: "Brother Hua is also six years old, how about letting him go to Zhuangzi to practice martial arts with other children?"
Yun Qing said: "You have to pass the test, and you can only enter after passing the test. And the training inside is also very hard, I am worried that this child will not be able to bear it." So to speak.
Yuxi said: "Let him try it! As long as he can pass the test, those training should not be a problem." Brother Chang also went to the test before, but he failed. However, Yu Xi felt that Brother Hua had to be firm in his mind after suffering so much, and he was practicing martial arts again, so the probability of passing the test was still very high.
Yun Qing nodded and said: "Then try it." If it can pass, it will also increase the number of talents.
As a result, as Yu Xi expected, Brother Hua passed the test. Yuxi told Han Jianming the news, and said: "Brother Hua has this talent, so we can't waste it." Yuxi knew Han Jianming's temperament very well, and everything was based on the interests of the family. As long as Brother Hua is useful, his attitude will change.
Han Jianming was silent for a while, and said, "When are you going to Zhuangzi?" After hearing for five days, Han Jianming said, "Then I will take him back today!" It can be seen that Han Jianming's attitude has changed.
Yu Xi nodded and said: "Blood is thicker than water, as long as you love him sincerely, this child will accept you soon." Brother Hua, she looks good.
Han Jianming hummed and said, "I know." (To be continued)
