What did my second uncle suddenly come over? Jiang Liu and his sister looked at each other and decided to go over and take a look together.

In May this year, the second uncle's second uncle's second wife, Liu, swept away the gold, silver and calligraphy and paintings of the Wang family and fled to Shanqianzhuang where Liu Cheng and his wife were. However, after they fell and drowned, rumors about Liu Cheng and Liu in Kang'an City were spreading, and the good-looking second uncle lived in a simple and easy-to-face manner and had not appeared for more than two months. When they suddenly visited today, it must be something important.

Jiang Muyan made up her mind and told her sister, "If my second uncle mentioned his children, my sister should not talk to you, and listen to me."

"Okay." Jiang Liu responded and went to the study room of the front yard with his sister. When he saw his second uncle, he couldn't help but blink. After seeing him for three months, he seemed to be several years old. It seemed that Liu's affairs had really hit him a lot.

Wang Wenqiao, who was less than forty years old, had his hair mixed with silver thread and his cheeks deep, but his energy was still there. After the two niece saluted, he said gently, "I went out to buy pens and ink today. I heard that the scholars had told me that your father had been in Jiuquan for half a day to eliminate evil in the court."

The word "happiness" is not used properly? Jiang Liu muttered in his heart. Jiang Muyan said with a glance, "My father is an official in the court and he will eat the king's fortune. He will do his best to end the king. My second uncle and grandmother have coughed a little lighter these days?"

Because his eldest son was dismissed from office and his second son was implicated by Meng's family, he was imprisoned. Mrs. Wang suffered from coughing and would cough for several days every time the season changed.

"Your grandmother used the autumn pear paste you sent, and it has been much better in the past two days." Wang Wenqiao hesitated for a moment before continuing, "These days, your grandmother always mentioned your uncle and said that she dreamed of him crying in Wensu because she was starving and cold..."

Hum? Jiang Liu raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, his second uncle came not for his children, but for his eldest uncle in Wen Su. This was a bit strange.

After Wang Youying died of illness last year, the Wang family sent a letter to Wen Su's Wang Fangyu. Wang Tuyuan, the eldest son of the Wang family, came back this spring to pay homage to his elder sister. He had a dispute with his second uncle about the matter of fighting for family property, and had a very unhappy relationship. In just a few months, why did the second uncle run to their sisters and take the initiative to mention the Wang family's big house far away in Wen Su?

Jiang Liu thought of this, and Jiang Muyan naturally thought of it. She said gently, "My dreams are all against each other. My uncle and the others should have nothing to do in Wensu. You have to persuade your grandmother more and don't make her worry too much."

Wang Wenqiao nodded, "I also advised your grandmother. Yan'er, your father came back to send a letter, have you ever mentioned your uncle?"

Wensu is also a county under Suzhou. Mr. Jiang Er went to Jiuquan, which was not far from Wensu. Jiang Muyan replied respectfully, "My father was ordered by the emperor to go out to Beijing for a business, and he did not dare to slack off day and night. In the past six months, he only sent back a few letters from home to greet his grandmother. Yan'er wrote a letter to Jiuquan tomorrow, asking his father to send someone to visit his uncle."

Wang Wenqiao shook his head, "Your father is responsible for the emperor's order. Yan'er should not distract him from family affairs anymore. My second uncle is here to tell you that I want to go to Wensu to visit your uncle."

Jiang Muyan looked at her second uncle in surprise. Before she could speak, Jiang Liu had already spoken, "Did you discuss with her grandmother if the second uncle wants to go to Wen Su?"

Wang Wenqiao nodded, "Your grandmother is worried about your uncle, she is already approved."

Jiang Muyan advised, "Wen Su is thousands of miles away, and it will take several months for my second uncle to go back and forth. If you leave Beijing, you will only have a sick grandmother and three children at home."

Although Jiang Muyan said this politely, the meaning of the words was not at all: her parents were not traveling far away, not to mention that her grandmother was still ill. If you go, who can serve her grandmother in the Wang family?

Wang Wenqiao waited and said with a face, "Your grandmother is not in good health. My second uncle rushed forward and he should be able to come back before the end of the twelfth lunar month. If I can't come back, Yan'er, Liu'er, your grandmother... I'll ask you to go and see more..."

Jiang Muyan couldn't help frowning, "It's natural for Yan'er and her sister to go over to honor their grandmother, but..."

Seeing that my sister couldn't say anything, Jiang Liu took over the words, "But my sister and I are from other families. Please ask my second uncle to say something very disrespectful. If my grandmother's condition worsens and you are not in Kang'an, who should be in charge of the Wang family?"

Wang Wenqiao hurriedly said, "I have asked your cousin Keli to ask him to take charge when I am not in Kang'an."

Wang Keli is a well-educated man among the Wang clan. His painting skills are unique and he has a prestigious reputation in the Kang'an painting world. However, as far as Jiang Liu knows, Wang Keli has a good relationship with his second uncle. It took a lot of effort to persuade Wang Keli to help take care of his family. It is very likely that his second uncle exchanged for the famous paintings of his previous dynasty.

My uncle didn't have this weight in my second uncle's heart. Jiang Liu asked directly, "Since my second uncle wants my sister and I to help take care of my grandmother, I always have to tell us the truth: What is the real purpose of your visit to Wensu?"

The little niece is not easy to fool. If she angers her, all her plans will be lost. Wang Wenqiao said truthfully, "I have no place in Kang'an. I want to sacrifice my life to go to Suzhou, so there is no way out."

Jiang Liu asked, "What's the way out?"

"Although my second uncle is in the wild, I have heard a little about the affairs of the court. What your father did in Suzhou is related to the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so my second uncle wants to go bet once."

Jiang Liu broke the casserole and asked to the end, "What do you want to bet on my second uncle?"

Wang Wenqiao looked at Jiang Liu with a bright look, "Just bet that your father will do what he does. After all the corrupt officials in Suzhou were beheaded by him, Suzhou will surely become a place for patriots and kind people to achieve success!"

Jiang Liu understood, "Since my grandmother agreed to you, my sister and I can't stop you. But..."

"However, since my second uncle is going to Suzhou to bet on his future, he should know the danger of this journey." Jiang Muyan took the words of his sister, straightened her waist, and said seriously, "My father is in Suzhou, and I am afraid he will not be able to distract himself from your safety."

Wang Wenqiao was stunned and said embarrassedly, "My second uncle doesn't mean this."

Jiang Muyan said solemnly with a stern face, "Yan'er knows you don't mean this, but there are some things that Yan'er still wants to explain to you before you set off: My father and Ling went to Suzhou with the ambition to sacrifice their lives for their country. As you said, after my father cleared the filthy Suzhou, it will definitely be a place for the 'benevolent people' to make achievements. Those who are kind-hearted people will not seek survival to harm benevolent people, and those who are killing themselves to achieve benevolent people. Second uncle, do you really want to be a benevolent people in Suzhou?"

Seeing that my second uncle was ashamed and bowed his head when my sister said it, Jiang Liuzhen wanted to raise his hand and slap his sister hard. It's so awesome. These words from my sister are so awesome!

Although Jiang Muyan was speechless when asked, Wang Wenqiao still mingled with the team of twenty storytellers and rushed to Suzhou with the caravan from Pingxi Hou Mansion to Suzhou. Jiang Muyan stood outside the city gate, staring at the smoke and dust blown away by the autumn wind.

Jiang Liu grabbed Liu Ye who was blown down by the wind and smiled, "Sister thinks that when will my second uncle return?"

"I don't know." Jiang Muyan hoped that his second uncle would return safely as soon as possible, and that he could really make achievements in Suzhou and regain the prestige of the Kang'an scholarly Wang family.

Jiang Liu threw the willow leaves out and smiled, "I guess my second uncle should come back before the end of the twelfth lunar month."

This time, Jiang Liu guessed wrongly. At the end of the twelfth lunar month, her caravan finally rushed back from Suzhou to Kang'an, while her second uncle did not come back with her.

The people who came back with the caravan were five storytellers who left Beijing in September, ten local storytellers in Jiuquan and... a very distinctive Western Region band. These people soon set off a frenzy in Kang'an and even the capital.

This frenzy made the illusion of Suzhou fabricated by the Qin family into pieces, and also sent Jiang Erye directly to the sky.
