Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chu Lingxuan was so angry that he punched the table and cursed, "It's so abominable and unconscionable that they dare to claim this kind of military glory! The assassination of Prince Wan was very famous. I also know that for our army, The foundation for the final victory was laid. It is said that fifty soldiers died, but only three came back alive. Even the emperor issued a commendation... This matter must be thoroughly investigated and an explanation given to my uncle."

Wang Cheng hurriedly said, "It has been so many years since that matter, so it must be difficult to investigate. Mr. Chu, please don't offend people who shouldn't be offended for the sake of villains. General Zhao said that person's background is very hard, and we can't afford to offend him. I That’s it now, so be it.”

Chu Lingxuan comforted him, "It doesn't matter. My third uncle was also at the border at that time. Please ask him to help with the investigation, and we will definitely find out."

Chen Afu didn't care about risking the military merit. She kept wiping her tears for Wang Cheng, who had suffered a lot of troubles and had a rough life. She looked at Wang Cheng's left hand, half of the palm diagonally below the index finger was gone, and only the smaller half of the palm, thumb, and a small index finger remained. It seemed that the waist was not straight, and she felt extremely distressed.

Wang Cheng smiled and comforted Chen Afu, "Don't be sad, Afu. Compared with those dead brothers, my uncle is already very satisfied. Although he is disabled, he is still working in the army, has military honors, and has married a wife and given birth to a child." Children. Now that I have found you and my sister, God has treated me well." After saying that, he wiped away his tears.

Chen Afu asked again, "I heard that my aunt is not in good health. What's going on?"

Wang Cheng sighed, "I am useless. When she got married, she had to give her mother-in-law a betrothal gift and buy land to build a house, which caused a lot of famine. My younger brother's mother was busy doing embroidery day and night, and she didn't even sit down during the confinement period, so she just sat down. Sickness. My eyesight is bad, so I can’t do embroidery work for a long time. I also have back pain, so I can’t walk long distances. In severe cases, I have to hold on to the wall..."

Wang Cheng's military salary is one tael of silver per month, and he should be able to live a comfortable life with a wife in the countryside. He had saved more than twenty taels of silver before getting married, and originally wanted to save some more and take it back to Xiaoli Village to give to his adoptive father's family so that they could tell them about his life experience. But he met Wu, who was pretty and diligent, and he liked her very much, so he thought about saving money after getting married, and returning to Xiaoli Village when he had enough money.

To get married, he had to give thirty taels of silver to Wu's natal family, ten taels to buy land and build a house, and expenses for getting married, so he borrowed thirty taels of silver from several elder brothers to consummate the marriage.

Mrs. Wu wanted to repay her natal family's money, but she was too embarrassed to spend all the money her husband wanted to inquire about his background, so she worked hard at embroidery. I did earn a lot of money in the first few years. Brother Wang Chengpao paid back all his money, and the Wu family also paid back fifty taels. But later on, as my health became worse and worse, my embroidery work became slower and slower. I usually only dared to do small pieces, and my money became less and less...

Chen Afu asked, "How much money is left to my aunt's family?"

Wang Chengdao said, "The principal has been repaid, and most of the twenty-odd taels of interest have been repaid, and there is still a shortfall of ninety-taels of silver."

Chen Afu said, "Uncle, please don't let your aunt do any more embroidery work. I'll pay back the money for you. My aunt's family is really cruel. They squeezed so much money out of my aunt and it's not enough. They also charge interest and force their daughter to delay the payment." Use your sick body to pay your debts."

Wang Cheng blushed and said, "Hey, it's all uncle's uselessness."

Chu Lingxuan said disapprovingly, "How can my uncle be useless? My uncle is a hero of my Dashun Dynasty. After we find out the matter clearly, I will pay back whatever is due to my uncle."

The food has been put on the table, and the three of them sit at the same table for lunch.

After dinner, Chu Lingxuan went out. He wanted to tell the old man first and return to the countryside another day. At the same time, he also had to go out to discuss countermeasures with the Marquis of Chu and the third master. On the surface, Mr. Chu is the head of the Chu family, but privately, Mr. Chu is the real head of the Chu family. The old man and the third master will listen to him on all important matters in the court.

Chen Afu and Wang Cheng were talking in the room. Today Wang Chenghui will stay overnight at Chu's house, and Chen Afu will follow him to Wang's house in Jiuli Village early tomorrow morning. After making preparations, the Wang family will return to their hometown with Chen Afu to reunite with the Wang family in two days.

In the middle of the night, Chen Afu was drowsily sleeping. When he heard the rustling sound, Chu Lingxuan lay on the bed.

Chu Lingxuan kissed her and said, "Afu, if you get your name well, you will be my lucky star."

He drank wine and it smelled bad.

These words woke Chen Afu up, he opened his eyes and asked, "What do you mean, what blessings have I brought you?"

Chu Lingxuan laughed softly and said, "You brought your uncle to the Chu family - it's really hard to find a place after you have worn iron shoes, and it took no effort at all..."

After saying that, he lowered his head to kiss her again.

Chen Afu was so anxious that he blocked his mouth and said, "You are so impatient, what's going on? Tell me," and threatened, "If you don't tell me, I won't kiss you."

Chu Lingxuan laughed, lay down and said, "I heard from the third uncle that three people came back from the assassination. The other two are fine, and the one with the problem must be Yang Qing. The third uncle first wondered how Yang Qing could personally participate in the assassination of Wan Guo. The prince carried out such a dangerous mission and successfully assassinated him and escaped. At that time, my third uncle secretly inquired and found out that Yang Qing was indeed involved and was seriously injured. My third uncle thought that he had underestimated him, but it turned out that he was also a criminal. Man."

"Who is Yang Qing?" Chen Afu asked.

"Yang Qing is a sharp knife for Uncle Wang Guo. Because he was instrumental in assassinating Prince Wan and with the help of the Wang family, his career went very smoothly. He gradually climbed to the position of Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief. The Wang family even married their daughter to him. ...In war, there are inevitably people who pretend to claim military merits, but most of them pretend to claim the military merits of those dead soldiers, but he climbs up on the shoulders of living people, which is really disgusting. If this thing is suppressed, it will be suppressed, if it is exposed, it will be suppressed. It is a serious crime to deceive the emperor... If Yang Qing can be brought down, the second prince and his party will lose a general."

Chen Afu couldn't help but worry when he heard that the power of those who had taken advantage of him was so powerful. Said, "They are so powerful, and after so many years, can they be found out? Those people have perjured themselves, and it is found out that they have also committed serious crimes. Can they tell the truth? Furthermore, will Yang Qing kill people and silence them?"

Chu Lingxuan said, "It's definitely not easy to investigate, but as long as it is done, there will be flaws. Keeping uncle here may be General Zhao's way of protecting himself. General Zhao is a smart man, and there should be other evidence. Third Uncle I have been operating in the west for twenty years, and if I investigate slowly, I will get results."

After saying that, he went to kiss Chen Afu again.

After hearing these words, Chen Afu felt a little better. But the smell of Chu Lingxuan's wine was too strong. She turned her face away and said angrily, "Oh, how much wine have you drunk?"

Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "I'm happy today. Dad, Third Uncle, and I all drank a few more cups."

Chen Afu pushed his face away and said half-seriously, "You smell so drunk, I won't kiss you."

Chu Lingxuan smiled and buried his head in the crook of her neck, and said with a smile, "Okay, just don't kiss or mouth."

Thank you kepprar for the 10,000 starting coins, thank you very much! Qingquan will pay more attention to you another day.
