This year, due to severe drought, Lintong, Weinan, Lantian, Huxian, Xianyang, Jingyang and Gaoling around Xi'an Prefecture all have different degrees of disasters, but compared with the counties under Qing'an Prefecture and Gongchang Prefecture, the disasters are slightly less. Moreover, there are salt wells in Lintong, and Weinan is a must-pass place to lead to Kyoto in the northwest. Both counties have traditions of doing business. Although there are disasters this year, life is still as comfortable as usual for the wealthy families in the two counties.

At that time, the serious and innocent people paid attention to "farming and reading through the world", and Fu Tingyun's uncle was no exception. After making money in business, he thought of ways to buy land and buy a house. So in addition to being the richest man in Weinan, he was also the largest landlord in Fengyuan.

Seeing refugees escaping one after another, Fu Tingyun's uncle, in addition to donating grain to the county government with several other wealthy families in Weinan, also set up a porridge shed in Fengyuan, his hometown to resettle refugees.

But not everyone will be grateful.

Especially those who have long been hungry and have turned green in their eyes and only know that they can survive with food.

Such a kind act became a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the Jie family - while it was dark, a group of refugees rushed into the Jie family, killed people when they saw them, robbed things when they saw them, and finally lit a fire... The fire that soared into the sky reflected half of the sky!

Fu Tingyun's eyes were red, and her round hands clenched into fists. She stared at the boy and asked, "Then my uncle..."

Before she could finish her words, Mr. Zhao Jiu pulled her behind her: "Young Master, how about Mr. Jie?"

The fire in the sky seemed to be clearly imprinted in the memories of the two teenagers two days ago. One of them listened with moist eyes, while the other choked up and said the cause and effect, and did not notice Fu Tingyun's strangeness at all.

"The entire Jie family was burned to ashes," the boy's tears couldn't help falling. He covered his face with his sleeves, as if he couldn't bear to remember the scene at that time. "The Jie family lived in Fengyuan for a long time. Since the old man's generation, he has built bridges and roads and did good deeds in the countryside, but he never thought that he would end up like this..."

There was silence inside and outside the wooden fence, only Fu Tingyun's crying was getting louder and louder!

With red eyes, Asen ran over and pulled the corner of Fu Tingyun's clothes: "Girl, girl, stop crying..." He wanted to comfort her, but didn't know what to say, so he looked at Mr. Zhao Jiu with a long eye.

Master Zhao Jiu's face became more and more gloomy. He stood there with his hands on his hips, looking full of anger but unbearable.

Asen doesn't know what to do!

There was a noise from the wooden fence. Seven or eight young men surrounded by medium figures, wearing royal blue plain cocoon silk, and the man about thirty years old walked towards this side.

"What happened?" he shouted loudly, full of energy, a stern tone, and a bit majestic.

The people who were patrolling in front of the wooden fence saluted one after another, shouting "Seventh Master" respectfully, giving up a way out.

The two teenagers were shouting loudly "Seventh Uncle" through the wooden fence.

The man respected as "Seventh Master" walked to the wooden fence and looked closely and immediately showed a happy expression: "Abao, A Ci, why are you?" Then he thought of something and his face darkened, "Where is Eleventh Sister? Who else has escaped from the family?" His eyes fell on Fu Tingyun who was crying aside, and signaled the patrolers to open the wooden fence.

Two young men saluted Master Qi across the wooden fence. One of them told the situation at home: "...These refugees were cruel and tyrannical, and even the Jie family suffered such unpredictable disasters. My grandmother was afraid that the refugees would rush into our house, so she led us to join my uncle overnight..."

During the time of speaking, the two middle-aged men had worked together to push the wooden fence away.

Master Qi walked out and ordered an old man with a goatee beard to arrange a carriage and horse to pick up the people. Then he patted the two teenagers on the shoulders and said with relief: "I haven't seen each other for a few years. Abao and A Ci have grown up and know how to share the worries of the family."

The two teenagers saluted in embarrassment, and the one who had a green head said, "I'll go with Manager Cheng too - help lead the way."

Master Qi smiled and nodded, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes even more intense.

The person who was wearing the green lotus color also said, "I'll go together!"

"Okay!" Master Qi smiled, his eyes fell on Fu Tingyun and others again, and he pondered: "These are..."

Chuantuo said hurriedly: "I just met Mr. Jie's relatives, who were suffering from disaster at home, came to join him."

Master Qi looked at the three of them quietly, and said steadily: "Mr. Jie and I are neighbors, and we have some business contacts. I wonder where you came from?"

Huayin Fu family has some flaws around this and even in Shaanxi. No matter whether the words of Qiye are true or false, they must not be said to be from Huayin. Otherwise, Qiye will reveal the truth after a brief investigation.

But how do you know what relatives are from the Jie family?

He glanced at Fu Tingyun.

My uncle died, but was still burned to death by those refugees who had received his favor, and he didn't even leave his body... And my aunt, every time she went to Fengyuan, she would hug her happily and ask the stove to do this and that, as if she hadn't eaten along the way... My cousin's wife was gentle and virtuous, and both sons taught them well. She was enlightened at the age of three and five, and she could catch up with "Youth" at the age of five. My uncle always talked about it, and she would be full of

With a proud face, the Jie family hoped that these two grandsons would pass the imperial examination and become Jinshi, and Guangyao Jie family... The second cousin's wife was lively and cheerful, and she was most acquainted with her. Whether she harvested wheat, boiled wheat candy, or made peaches and dried peaches, she never forgot to give it to her to taste it. Unfortunately, she married into the Jie family for three years and had no children. Her aunt went to Huashan to worship Buddha for this. A few days ago, the good news was just heard... It was gone, and a big fire, all of them were gone...

Just for food and for the sake of one's own survival, you will hurt others' lives... How can those people be so selfish? Such shameless?

She gritted her teeth so hard that she felt so heartbroken that she couldn't bear to herself. She leaned against the cart, and tears fell like rain. No matter how much sad she was, she could not fill the empty corner of her heart.

Fu Tingyun wiped tears with the back of her hand, and her sleeves fell, revealing her fair and delicate back of her hand as beautiful as jade.

Mr. Zhao Jiu sighed secretly and saluted Master Qi: "We are from Pingliang. This is our lady. The family is suffering from disaster. We want to come to join Mr. Jie. Who knew that he encountered a robber on the way, and I only protected our lady and escaped. I don't know what kind of relatives Mr. Jie and our master are. I just heard from our wife that when Mr. Jie was doing business, our master borrowed a bank turnover. Although he returned it later, if it were not for the bank of our master, Mr. Jie's business would not have been as big as it is now!"

This kind of thing is common in business people, not to mention that when Mr. Jie made his fortune, his brother-in-law had not yet passed the Jinshi. Although the Fu family had a reputation, the big family was the most ruling and would never take the money from the official to help him for the relatives of the same room... Master Qi thought to himself, and believed in Master Zhao Jiu's words a little; looking at Fu Tingyun again, he cried heartbrokenly, not like pretending. In such a hot day, he could still abide by the rules. The exposed back of his hands was delicate and smooth, not a rough hand, but a little more believed.

He comforted Fu Tingyun: "Miss, mourn and follow the changes!"

Fu Tingyun endured the grief and bowed.

When I got up, I looked up casually, revealing my snow-white face, and my eyes that were swollen from crying, like the plum blossoms falling on the snow, elegant, beautiful and adorable.

Master Qi felt a thrill in his heart.

Unexpectedly, this woman was so beautiful. Unfortunately, she encountered this chaotic world and had no support. After leaving here, she was afraid that she would not escape the fate of falling into mud in the world!

Thinking of this, the regret of Qi Ye chewing the peonies came - there were all hungry and crazy untouchables outside, how could he know that such a lady is good!

An inexplicable sadness surged in his heart, saying, "If the girl doesn't dislike it, it's better to settle down in the Li family."

Everyone was stunned, including Qi Ye himself.

How to say such frivolous words?

He secretly regrets it.

He was assigned by his elders in his family to take over the affairs. If it was a weekday, it would be nothing to take in a few people. But now the drought is severe. Seeing that there is no harvest this year, I don’t know what the year will be next year. Every household in Li Jiaao took out all the stored grains and distributed them uniformly according to the population. The Eleventh Sister is his own girl. Taking out some of the grain warehouses from the public to provide relief may cause some dissatisfaction, but the blood relationship is always reasonable. These three people have nothing to do with Li Jiaao. How should he explain to the people in the clan? But now he has spoken. If he can’t do it, what will he become?

Or, take out your own food to help them?

His eyes turned on Mr. Zhao Jiu and Asen.

These two people are easy to say.

One is thin and tall, and as long as he eats and drinks, he will definitely be a powerful laborer for Kong Wu; the other is young, but his eyes are flexible and quick at first glance, and he is a good servant. Moreover, when the master's family dies, they can also escort the lady from Pingliang, six or seven hundred miles away to Weinan safely. It can be seen that not only have some skills, but also are loyal and righteous people. As long as these two people help them overcome the difficulties in the present, they will definitely be a good slave who can stand alone in the future.

But this woman is not easy to deal with!

It would be nice to say if he looks ordinary. Even if he is open-minded in his heart, he just wants to help him with pity, and he can't resist the random speculations of those good people... Unfortunately, several nephews of the right age are married, otherwise, if they find a household for her, they would have helped her!

Qi Ye has a split headache.

But Fu Tingyun looked at Master Zhao Jiu in a daze.

Settling in the Li family?

She and the Li family are not related to each other, so why should she settle down in the Li family?

But she couldn't get married, and she couldn't go back to Huayin... She was a nameless person who could not stand scrutiny. Although the world was big, where was her place to stay?

Because of Mr. Zhao Jiu’s trip, she could not starve to death and arrive in Weinan without any harm. Unconsciously, Mr. Zhao Jiu has become the most trustworthy and reliable person in her mind.

At this time, she hopes he can help her with an idea!
