Chapter 3 Where's the Second Uncle?

"You can call the prince's name?"

Wei Jinde didn't know what King Fu was named, but he knew that King Fu's name was not something that ordinary people could call him directly.

The Liangchen didn't say anything, but his heart was in a turbulent mood. He never dreamed that his family would be able to get involved with the most famous prince in the late Ming Dynasty.

King Fu Zhu Changxun, who wrote many novels in the late Ming Dynasty in his previous life, is familiar with Wei Liangchen.

This prince is the third son of Emperor Wanli, his mother is Concubine Zheng, the most beloved Concubine Zheng, the most beloved by Emperor Wanli, and his son Zhu Yousong is Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty. However, the end of this King Fu was not good. During the Chongzhen period, Li Zicheng captured Luoyang and cooked him alive. But now there are more than ten years before the Chongzhen period. If the good minister remembers correctly, King Fu Zhu Changxun is now the most beloved son of Emperor Wanli.

For this son, Emperor Wanli fought with the civil servant group for decades. The struggle over the "national foundation" can be said to have continued throughout the Wanli Dynasty and even affected the situation in the late Ming Dynasty. Everything that happened in the Tianqi and Chongzhen Dynasty next had nothing to do with this Fu King.

However, why did the small Lishu Village have something to do with King Fu Zhu Changxun? Liangchen was really confused. Facing his son's inquiry, Wei Jinde told some of the situation.

It turned out that Suining County where Lishu Village was located belonged to Hejian Prefecture, Beizhili, and this place was very close to the capital, so the royal family and the ministers and nobles were willing to enclose land here. The land in the entire Hejian Prefecture accounted for more than half, and the remaining land was mostly wealthy. Therefore, if the court re-enlisted land, it could only start with ordinary people. Some well-informed people in the village came back from the county and brought another accurate news that this time the land acquisition was directly ordered by the emperor.

The emperor directly issued an order to recruit land to his son. It seems that the land acquisition is inevitable no matter what.

For a few days, Lishu Village seemed to be out of breath, and Wei Jiaye San was as listless as if he was fucked. Wei Jinde and Liangqing felt sorry for the two acres of good land left by their ancestors, while Liangchen was worried that if the two acres of good land were gone, his family would have to provide him with what to do for him to continue his studies in the imperial examination, although he might not be able to take the imperial examination again.

Wei Liangqing accompanied his father around the fields every day, and the father and son were really reluctant to let the two acres of land go to the public for a good journey. The father and the father were just walking back and forth, sighing from time to time. There were quite a few villagers in the field who were exactly the same as the father and the father and the Wei family.

At this point, the good minister really has no way to do anything. He is not even a scholar now. He is no different from ordinary people, so it is impossible to stop this major event. Don’t talk about the Fu Palace and the court, even the six-householder in the county will not look at him directly. However, this matter is even more firm in his mind to participate in the imperial examination. It is hard to say that this matter is in front of him, so he thought to discuss it with his father for a few days and ask his father to help him plead with Master Wu.

No matter what, Liangchen made up his mind to participate in this year's palace examination. There is no way, this is the only way for him to make a name for himself.

On this day, Liangqing accompanied his father to the field just like the two days ago. Liangchen also followed him. The third son stood by the field for half an hour. Liangchen advised him a few words to make his father think more openly, but this kind of thing is not something that can be thought openly.

A few days ago, Liangqing said that my elder sister would come to see Liangchen these days, so Liangchen brought up this matter. He originally wanted to ask when the elder sister would come, but when the words came, he asked another thing: "Dad, where is the second uncle?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Jinde was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "How do I know where the killer Qiandao went? This bastard, don't mention him to me in the future. My old Wei family doesn't have this person."

Wei Jinde's words made Liangchen stunned. Listening to his father's words, could his second uncle have been even more miserable than him?

When the second uncle left home in his early years, Wei Liangqing was only five years old and didn't remember much, so he didn't know much about his second uncle, but he knew a little about it, so he signaled his brother not to ask too much. Just as he was about to ask Liangchen to go back now, someone in the field called them, saying that his relatives had come to his house.

"Dad, I'm afraid my elder sister is here."

Wei Liangqing looked at his father, and Liangchen stood up from the ground.

Wei Jinde waved his hands to the two brothers: "You guys go back first."

"Why!"

Liangqing agreed and helped Liangchen and rushed home. When he reached the river, Liangqing went to wash his hands, wiped his face, and dusted off the soil on his body. Because the family was not in good condition, Liangqing was still wearing clothes made a few years ago, with her elbows and knees sewn. Although Liangchen was not wearing very well, it was much better than his elder brother, at least clean and without patches. On the way, he bumped into his neighbor Mrs. Zhang, saying that his relatives were waiting outside the door and asked the two brothers to go back quickly.

When the two brothers arrived home, they saw an ox cart parked outside the door. The driver leaned against the cart smoking a dry tobacco. When the good minister saw it, he didn't care. He knew that the dry tobacco was introduced to the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period. Over the past few decades, dry tobacco became a way for poor people to have fun after dinner. They all said that they were happy like gods.

"Big sister, brother-in-law!"

Wei Liangqing shouted enthusiastically to the young man and woman. The woman looked no older than Liangqing, who looked 26 or 27 years old, with a medium size, a thin figure, an ordinary appearance, not beautiful but attractive. The man should be bigger, afraid that he was in his early thirties and wearing a silk shirt, which was quite grand, but he had a little white hair, and half of his head turned white.

Liangchen had never seen this elder sister before, but when the elder brother called this, he naturally knew that the woman was Wei Chunhua's daughter, the second uncle. She was sold to the Yang family as a child bride when she was six years old. The man was probably Wei Chunhua's husband Yang Liuqi. I heard that Yang Liuqi also went to school in his early years, but he did not pass the Tongsheng exam, so he failed to pass the scholar. Now he helps the family manage the fields at home.

"Big brother, third brother!"

While waiting for the anxious Wei Chunhua was very happy to see the two brothers. She stepped forward to support Liangchen and asked about his injuries with great concern.

Since she was sold to the Yang family as a child bride, Wei Chunhua has only returned to the Wei family twice in twenty years. Once, her aunt Zhao died, and once, she gave birth to a son to send red eggs to her parents' home. In addition, she has been in the Yang family all day long and has never even traveled to the far side. Because it is a child bride, even if she gave birth to a son for the Yang family, her status at home is still low, and the Yang family usually treats her as a servant.

After hearing that Liangchen was injured, Wei Chunhua thought of coming back to see her. She also hid some money in private. She knew that her uncle's family was poor, for fear of delaying her third brother's treatment because she had no money. However, she asked her husband to go home to visit her several times, but she was rejected. This time, she took advantage of her mother-in-law's absence and finally begging her, and her husband Yang Liuqi agreed to accompany her to the Wei family to take a look.

"Good minister, good minister."

Yang Liuqi also stepped forward to say hello to the two brothers, but Liangchen saw it and found that this brother-in-law was a little lukewarm and was not as close as the elder sister, especially when he didn't look at him directly. However, he felt relieved. The elder sister Wei Chunhua sold her to the Yang family as a child bride. The Yang family is a small family, but the Wei family is a bare-stop. A rich relative looks at the poor relatives, and there are a few more people who will be happy. In addition, he is notorious, so it would be strange that Yang Liuqi can see that he is happy.

"Sister, brother-in-law, hurry up, sit in the house."

Liangqing was simple in nature and happily greeted Wei Chunhua and his wife. Wei Chunhua hurriedly said, helping Liangchen to enter the yard, but Yang Liuqi grabbed her, and then smiled at Liangqing, "Your elder sister heard that Liangchen was injured, so anxious that she always wanted to come to see him, but there were too many things at home and she could not leave. It was rare to take time to come here today, but there was still something at home, so she wouldn't sit." After that, he ordered the coachman, "Please bring the things in."

The coachman hurriedly knocked the tobacco pipe, then took a few gifts wrapped in kraft paper from the carriage and sent them to the yard.

Liangqing was stunned for a moment, and Liangchen also pouted.

Wei Chunhua was a little embarrassed, but she didn't dare to speak. She lowered her head and held Liangchen's hand silently.

Liangchen could clearly feel that the elder sister's hands were calloused. Looking closely, there were also many wrinkles on her face. It is conceivable how low the elder sister's status in the Yang family is. This is no wonder that the Yang family has a few children's brides these days. When they meet a bad mother-in-law, they are forced to death.

Wei Liangqing also felt a kind of indifference from his brother-in-law Yang Liuqi's attitude. He was simple by nature, but he was not a fool. He felt angry in his heart, but he forced himself to suppress it. He still said to Yang Liuqi with a smile: "Since there is something going on with his eldest brother-in-law's family, then the eldest brother-in-law and the eldest sister should go back early."

Yang Liuqi chuckled, nodded slightly, and then looked at his wife Wei Chunhua. Wei Chunhua hurriedly said that she would go back now. Then, when her husband was not paying attention, she secretly stuffed a purse into Liangchen's hand and whispered: "Take good care, you can't play with your temperament anymore."

Liangchen held the purse in his hand, not knowing what it was good to say.

"Spring flowers, let's go."

Yang Liuqi urged in the car, and Wei Chunhua had no choice but to get on the ox cart reluctantly. The driver drove the cart and slowly rushed out of the village. The two brothers stood outside the door and looked at the ox cart that was leaving.

After a long time, Liangqing sighed and said, "Sister is really suffering from being in the Yang family."

Liangchen shook his head and said, "You can't blame the Yang family. If you want to blame, you can only blame our Wei family for being sorry for the eldest sister, oh, and the second uncle."

After hearing this, Liangqing was silent for a moment and said, "The second uncle got his first family than our father. The first year my eldest sister was born, and our father married my mother. Speaking of which, our second uncle is really a bastard. I heard that he likes to bet. In order to gamble, he not only angered his grandfather to death, but also forced his aunt to remarry and sell his eldest sister to the Yang family. In the end, he was forced to run away from home by someone else's loan, and I don't know where he went."

"Uncle Second was so stumbling back then?"

Liangchen was a little surprised. Although he knew that his second uncle would definitely not learn well, he did not expect that he would be so unbearable that he would be so angry that he forced his wife to remarry, and even sold his biological daughter. There were very few people in this world who could do this level.
