The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1444: A Visitor from North City

Not only the Chen brothers and his uncle's family from Beicheng came here at the same time, but his nephew Cheng Tiezhu from Bianjing also came with his family.

But counting the days, the first to arrive must be his uncle's family. Although Han Nianxia is a little stupid, the other members of the Han family are very smart. As soon as the war broke out, they hurriedly sold their property and took all their belongings to Fengqi to seek refuge with the Wan family. It's just that no one knows which route they took. It has been a month, and they should have entered the territory of Fengqi.

"Feng'er, Yuhua cried today and I feel so upset. Feng'er, please accompany me to Lingchen Temple to burn some incense and pray for them."

Yuhua's world collapsed. She lost all her abilities except for crying and wailing heartbreakingly. The shrill sound echoed throughout Prince Pang's mansion for a long time. Seeing the sadness and smelling the tears, Madam Wan had no idea how many tears she had shed silently while sitting in the chair.

Isn't Cheng Feng sad? He was just as sad. After receiving the letter from Brother Chen, Cheng Feng was stunned, as if petrified. It took him an unknown amount of time to regain consciousness in his stiff limbs.

For many days, the voices and smiles of Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen always appeared in his mind, and Uncle Chen's hearty laughter often rang in his ears. Uncle Chen was smart and hardworking, and was the first person in the Li village to own a horse-drawn carriage.

He was the only one who owned a carriage, and the whole village benefited from it.

Almost everyone in the village has ridden in Uncle Chen's carriage, but the person who has ridden in Uncle Chen's carriage the most is Cheng Feng. In the past, when he hunted prey, he had to go to the city to sell it. If there was no Uncle Chen's carriage, he would have to carry the prey to the city.

And with his big feet, it was difficult to buy shoes on the street, and no one was willing to make shoes for him. However, Aunt Chen would send him two pairs of shoes every season. The stitching was dense and the shoes were wear-resistant.

And there was Niuniu from the Chen family. When he left, the child was only a few years old. She was so shy and timid that she didn't even dare to talk to anyone. How could she be tortured to death by those beasts like Yatuo?

Whenever he thought of the Chen family, Cheng Feng lost his appetite and couldn't sleep at night.

Cheng Feng believed in fate and didn't believe what his mother believed in. But his mother was nervous and uneasy, so he could only agree, "Okay, I'll go see my father, and then have someone prepare a carriage to accompany you to Lingchen Temple."

At this time, Shang Xi walked in with a shaky step, "I'll go with mom, you stay home to look after dad."

Seeing Shang Xi's red and swollen eyes and her body that couldn't stretch, Cheng Feng was worried. "You stay at home. I'll go with mom. Yuhua can't leave home without someone by her side right now."

Shang Xi said, "It's okay. Yuhua cried for a long time and now she is exhausted. She took some medicine and fell asleep on the bed. You push dad out to bask in the sun and send someone to look after the shoemaking yard. Mom and I won't be gone for too long. We will go to Lingchen Temple to pay our respects and then come back."

Shang Xi didn't burn incense at ordinary times, but she would pray to the Buddha when she had something to do. She didn't want to pay immediately, but she still had to do it at this time. In addition to praying for the people on the road, what else could she do for them! She hoped that those who were fleeing on the road could turn danger into safety and turn disaster into good fortune.

Just then a servant came running over to report, "Madam, Madam, the Han family from North City has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wan stood up excitedly, not even noticing that the rosary in her hand had fallen to the ground. She said to the people in the room, "Come on, follow me to greet your uncle and aunt."

Shang Xi knew that the Han family from the North City were coming to seek refuge with them. They had already been on the road for a month. The whole family was moving, so they must have a lot of things. According to Shang Xi's calculations, it would not take long for them to get here. Unexpectedly, they arrived here in less than a month.

The Han family is also a merchant family. They have been doing business for generations, and no one in their generations has entered the officialdom. A long time ago, Shang Xi heard Madam Wan mention to Cheng Feng vaguely that the eldest son of the Han family wanted to enter the officialdom, but did not want to take the imperial examination. So his intention of coming here was very obvious. He simply wanted to get an official position for the eldest son of the Han family through Madam Wan's recommendation.

The young couple could see that Madam Wan wanted to support her family, but since Cheng Feng didn't say anything at the time, Madam Wan didn't say anything either.

Shang Xi hurriedly picked up the bracelet on the ground and trotted to catch up with Madam Wan who was walking like the wind to greet the Han family.

When she arrived at the gate, Shang Xi was completely dumbfounded.

Didn’t the Han family say that they had dismissed most of the servants and maids? Why... why are there still seventy or eighty people here?

"Zhi Gao, Yue Niang!" Mrs. Wan's tears came down as she called out these two names in a trembling voice. She was looking forward to the arrival of the Han family. When she heard about what happened in Beicheng today, her heart was in her throat and she was worried about the Han family members on the road.

"Sister!" Zhigao is Madam Wan's younger brother and Cheng Feng's uncle. Yue Niang is Cheng Feng's aunt. After not seeing each other for many years, the uncle and aunt have changed a lot, which should be caused by the bumpy and tired journey.

They changed their usual attire, taking off their silks and satins and putting on coarse linen clothes that they had never worn before. They looked like ordinary people, and they cried non-stop when they saw Madam Wan.

Madam Wan pulled them aside and asked them about their well-being, "Did you meet any bad guys on the road?"

My uncle said, "We dressed up as ordinary merchants and spent money everywhere to avoid the bandits in Yatuo and the soldiers in Dalang, but some of our money was still stolen."

Madam Wan patted her brother and consoled him, "Money is only a part of our life. It is better than anything else if your whole family comes here safely."

The uncle looked behind Madam Wan and said, "Sister, why don't you see my brother-in-law, Prince Pang? Are you busy with official business?"

Mr. Wan doesn't have any official business. Ever since he was conferred the title of Prince Pang, he has not handled any official business.

Madam Wan said, "Your brother-in-law is old and has difficulty moving. He is lying in the house!"

Everyone understood what was going on. "Brother-in-law is sick? When did it happen? Why didn't my sister mention it in the letter?"

"Time is merciless. This day has to come." Madam Wan patted her brother and sister-in-law's hands, and felt relieved. She then started looking for her nephews and nieces. "Where is Yuanqiao's family, Yuanliang's family, Yuandong's family, and that girl Nianxia?"

Mrs. Wan was old and her eyesight was already poor. After crying, her eyesight became even worse and she couldn't find anyone.

Before Madam Wan finished her words, a group of people came up and kowtowed to her. Shang Xi and Cheng Feng saw that the young couple were both shocked and opened their mouths wide.

In the past, the young couple always heard Mr. Wan and Mrs. Wan complaining about how their Wan family had very few members, as few as the morning stars.
