As night gradually descended, a bright moon slowly rose. The white light sprinkled on the earth, as if it was covered with a silver veil.

The breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness.

Master Duan’s family was sitting in the main hall for dinner. Their family didn’t care about food, sleeping, and talking while eating.

Aunt Duan asked, "One pound of grain has increased by another cent today, but there is no food sold in the afternoon! Huh, the court wants to ignore it and don't know how many people will starve to death."

Fortunately, seeing that the situation was wrong, Xiao Jin stocked up nine bags of grain, which was enough for them to eat until the autumn harvest.

Master Duan took a sip of wine, burped comfortably and said, "Didn't the imperial court send an imperial envoy? I don't think they will sit idly."

Aunt Duan doesn’t have expectations.

Duan Xiaojin heard this and said, "Dad, mom, my brother came to Pingzhou with the imperial envoy this time. He has been busy these days and sent someone to me to come and visit you when I have time."

The couple looked at him together.

Aunt Duan even complained: "You kid, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier? I got it, so I could buy chickens and ducks and keep them at home for preparation.

Duan Xiaojin said: "My brother and the others are in a hurry. I guess there is no time to go home for dinner."

When Fu Jingen came here, she was so worried that she had not slept all night, so she was afraid that he would take Duan Xiaojin back. Fortunately, Xiaojin said she didn't want to go back and wanted to pass on the family line to them to support the family and live in the old age.

Thinking of this, Aunt Duan said to him: "Xiao Jin, Aunt Li mentioned to me the granddaughter of her distant cousin. It is said that the girl is good-looking, gentle and very skillful. Xiao Jin, I will arrange for you to meet her."

Duan Xiaojin lacked interest and shook his head and said, "It's still gone."

Aunt Duan got angry and said, "What's wrong with your child? Men are married as old as women are married as old as women are married. When do you want to delay?"

Duan Xiaojin said helplessly: "Mom, Sister Qu told me last time that her niece was as beautiful as a flower? As a result, the girl not only had a thicker waist than me, but also had a pockish face."

There are the two girls introduced in the previous ones, one is ugly.

Aunt Duan's face froze and said with a bitter face: "Xiao Jin, you are twenty years old this year. Are you going to be a bachelor for the rest of your life if you continue to choose?"

Duan Xiaojin remained silent. He never thought of marrying a beautiful one, but at least he had to look past the eye!

Master Duan took a sip of wine and said, "What's wrong with twenty? I married you at the age of twenty. Xiao Jin, so don't rush to choose slowly. This is a big thing for life. You must not be careless, otherwise you will never be able to marry the wrong wife for the rest of your life."

Aunt Duan looked at Master Duan and said angrily: "Why are you marrying a wife at the age of 25? Don't you know what you think?"

Master Duan was not the chief escort at the beginning, but he made a lot of money with good martial arts skills. But he was too loose and spent money like flowing water. He couldn't save half a copper coin in a year. He didn't have money to buy a betrothal gift, so he naturally couldn't marry a wife. Moreover, he didn't look like a down-to-earth person at all. The girl didn't want to marry after knowing it. She was just stupid and thought it didn't matter if others were too poor.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

A rapid knock on the door interrupted the three people in the room. Duan Xiaojin put down his chopsticks and said, "Dad, mom, I'll go open the door and see what's going on?"

When he opened the door and saw Fu Jingen, Duan Xiaojin was surprised and happy: "Brother, you are here."

Fu Jingen walked up and patted his shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "I didn't let someone tell you that I'm in Pingzhou, why do you look surprised?"

Duan Xiaojin said happily: "I didn't expect you to come so late. Brother, I was just telling my parents that you were in Pingzhou and would come to visit them when you have time!"

After saying that, he welcomed the person into the house.

Master Duan and Master Duan saw him and hurriedly called him to sit down.

Aunt Duan said a little uneasy: "We didn't know you were here in advance, so we didn't prepare anything. You sit down first, I'll kill a chicken."

The hens laying eggs at home were a little reluctant to kill them.

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "No need to worry, I just had a meal at the Shen family. I came here so late to disturb my uncle and aunt. Please forgive me."

Because Fu Jingen came out of the post station at that time and did not change his clothes and went to the Shen and Duan families directly in his official uniforms. Of course, he also deliberately wore official uniforms. On the one hand, it was shocking, and on the other hand, it could save a lot of trouble.

The common people are most afraid of seeing officials, especially those who are in the inner resident women like Aunt Duan. Seeing Fu Jingen as polite, she said hurriedly: "No interruption, no interruption, you will be able to come anytime."

Master Duan has never seen any formation that traveled around the world, so he is not afraid of Fu Jingen: "Damn, go down and make a cup of tea for Lord Fu to drink."

After hearing this, Fu Jingen quickly said, "Uncle, aunt, you are Xiao Jin's parents and my elders, just call Jingen directly.

He is really grateful to Master Duan. If he hadn't been kind-hearted, he wouldn't have seen Xiao Jin again in this life.

Master Duan was unwilling to bother him. He asked Aunt Duan to make tea and asked Fu Jingen: "Many people in Pingzhou have suffered disasters and have poor food. Now the food is priced at one day. Jingen, when will the imperial court come to provide disaster relief?"

Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "I don't know this either. We are only responsible for inspecting dams and ditches, and disaster relief is not our responsibility."

Master Duan's expression turned dark: "Does the court not be able to provide disaster relief?"

Fu Jingen said vaguely: "The court in places where the disaster is severely affected will definitely provide disaster relief. If the disaster is relatively small, it depends on what the person is saying."

Now it is not as good as before. It doesn’t matter what a student said before. But now he is an official and he cannot say something casually, otherwise he will be responsible for causing adverse consequences.

After asking twice, I couldn't get a correct word. How could Master Duan not understand? Pingzhou is afraid that he will not be able to get relief from the court this time.

Aunt Duan brought the soaked tea before the rain and said, "I picked and dried these tea leaves myself. They are not as good as those of the tea shop, so don't dislike them."

Fu Jingen took a sip and exclaimed with a smile: "It's delicious."

In fact, he is not picky about tea, as long as it is not sweet and sweet flower tea. In fact, he doesn’t just choose the food, but also the food. Of course, Qingshu will still make more dishes he likes.

"How long do you stay in Pingzhou this time?"

Fu Jingen said apologetically: "We will go to Qiancheng tomorrow morning. It was because the time was too fast that we came to visit us at night, otherwise we would definitely come to visit you again tomorrow morning."

"Don't you go to the county towns and villages below to see?"

Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "The itinerary was arranged by the imperial envoy, and I just followed the orders. In fact, I also wanted to go to the county town and villages below to see it. When I left Beijing, Qingshu also said that if I arrived in Taifeng County, I asked me to visit my grandfather's grave, I would not be able to go now."

When Master Duan heard this, he felt that the wine was gone. He sighed and said, "It seems that the people who were suffering have to die."

Aunt Duan glared at Master Duan and said, "Your uncle is drunk and talks nonsense, don't take it to your heart."
