The waiter didn't know about this. He wondered: "Why would the government send matchmakers to that grandma?"

"Grandma is poor! I heard that the county magistrate issued an order to provide matchmaking to all poor families in the county government."

She changed her voice and said with a smile, "Grandma's son and husband were killed by dog ​​officials. She has no land and no money. We neighbors think she won't survive this winter. Now it seems that grandma is in luck in her old age. You've met a good official!"

The waiter nodded in agreement.

Chen Youge felt his face hurt.

He really didn't expect that black thing to be so useful.

He patted the waiter on the forehead and said, "What are you still doing? Go buy some and try it out!"

The waiter touched his sore forehead and said, "Okay, let's go now."

After a while, the waiter came back.

When Chen Youge saw that the waiter had empty hands, his face darkened, "Where's the coal?"

The waiter said with a sad face, "It's sold out, I want to buy it tomorrow."

Chen Youge suddenly raised his voice, "When is this! How can it be sold? So fast!"

The waiter muttered, "It's good."

Chen Youge's face turned dark.

The next day, Chen Youge asked the waiter to guard the door of the store early in the morning. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't buy it.

The waiter cried, "They don't even sleep. It was already crowded when I went there."

Chen Youge gritted his teeth and asked, "It's such a cold day, and they're not afraid of freezing to death!"

The waiter said, "Amu is afraid that people will freeze to death. , I lit a coal at the door, and suddenly more people were warming up around the coal." Chen

Youge: "..."

He paced back and forth in the store, "Don't sleep tomorrow, go and wait in line!"

The second waiter cried sadly, "Ah..."

Chen Youge yelled angrily, "Ah what! I'll give you more money!"

The waiter had no choice but to go away.

Chen Youge felt irritable and went to the restaurant again.

The people from the Chamber of Commerce were sitting in the same place, and the atmosphere was strange when they saw him coming.

I don't know who spoke first and asked: "Did you buy coal?"

The restaurant owner snorted heavily, "Coal costs a penny per pound! It's so cheap and it's for the untouchables. I don't care about it." It's useful."

Many people agreed, and Chen Youge felt much better when he saw this, "The price is so low, how much money can he make after selling it for a whole day? It's just fun."

Many people nodded in agreement, and Chen Youge went back in a good mood, saving the waiter from having to stay up late and queue up.

Although the waiter was confused, he didn't say anything.

The next day, Chen Youge walked into the restaurant. As soon as he walked into the familiar box, he felt warm all over, as if he was surrounded by heat. It was so warm that he just wanted to doze off.

He was wondering how much firewood was used to keep the room so warm. When he looked closely, he saw a familiar pot of coal in front of him.

The restaurant owner was sitting on a chair, drinking a small drink and humming a song, very happy.

Chen Youge's face turned green, "Didn't you say you don't need this thing used by untouchables?"

The restaurant owner didn't feel guilty at all, "It's just a joke, who doesn't like good things?"

He asked back, "Boss Chen won't take it seriously. Right?"

Chen Youge's breath was stagnant, he didn't have the nerve to respond, and left angrily.

Passing by his rival's rice shop, he found that there were many people inside. He sneaked in and took a look. It was because there was a strange iron stove inside, filled with burning coal.

Many people go here because it's warm, and some of them buy some rice.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Chen? Why are you here?" Shopkeeper Ji walked over with a smile. Seeing Chen Youge staring at the iron stove, he introduced in a good mood: "This is a coal stove. Don't look at him. It's small, but it's actually very useful. The thing here is coal. There should be no one in the entire Chantie County who doesn't know this thing now, right?"

He paused, pretending to be surprised and asked: "Don't you know Boss Chen yet? Do you need coal?"

Chen Youge smirked, said a few perfunctory words and left in a hurry.

Back in the store, the store was empty with not a single customer. The waiter was sleepy in front of the counter with his hands on his hands. He yelled angrily, "Why are you sleeping? Get up!"

The waiter stood up in fright, "Why, what? "The shopkeeper?"

Chen Youge ordered, "Stay up late at night and wait in line. I must see coal in our store tomorrow morning!"

He paused and then said, "I'll go get it right away if there's any coal stove. " I'll order one."

The waiter said tangledly, "Shopkeeper, you don't know, the order for this coal stove has been put into next month."

He also wanted to order one yesterday, but he couldn't get it at all.

Chen Youge's eyes darkened.

I regret it!

There was not enough coal to sell, so Cheng Junyin put Hao Duoyu in charge of recruiting people, and specially found craftsmen to build houses in the vacant land near the coal mine.

Considering that there are more poor people in the villages in Chantie County, Cheng Junyin specifically asked Hao Duoyu to spread the recruitment news to every village in Chantie County.

Hao Duoyu was so busy and dizzy, but the effect was remarkable.

On the day of recruitment, Chantie County was busier than ever. The men in sackcloth faced the heavy snow and stared at Hao Duoyu who was standing at the bottom of the list.

Hao Duoyu shouted at the top of his voice, "Fifteen cents a day. Accommodation and food are provided. Only young and strong men are recruited. Those who want to sign up will line up."

When the people in the county heard this, they immediately rushed to the front.

The people in the village were hesitant. They were afraid that this was a new scam.

Seeing people from the county rushing to line up, the villagers were also anxious. The clever villagers asked Granny Ran who was watching the fun, "Aren't they afraid of being cheated?"

Granny Ran smiled and said, "Oh, the county magistrate this time is not Didn't you hear about the former dog official that he dismissed all the people who had done bad things in the county government?"

Another grandmother interjected, "Yes, Chengda has coal, and the county government has nothing to do with it. " If you are willing to use it, give it to poor families like us first."

Her eyes turned red as she spoke, "If it weren't for adults, I really don't know if I can survive."

The villagers looked at each other, and the villager who asked the question gritted his teeth and stepped forward to line up.

Anyway, life has been so miserable, and the worst it can cost him is his life.

With the first person, there was a second person, but this time the number of people recruited was limited, and in the end only the villagers who asked questions were recruited.

The villager who asked the question became the only villager recruited to mine this time.

After recruiting people, Hao Duoyu went to the coal mine every day. He was responsible for transporting coal, supervising the craftsmen building houses, and paying wages.

The next time Brother Tang saw Hao Duoyu, he found that he had lost a lot of weight. In this cold winter month, Hao Duoyu was actually darker.

Hao Duoyu was sitting in the shop drinking tea, "Didn't your Excellency say you want to come over?"

Brother Tang was sitting on the counter. Hearing this, he looked up at the door of the shop and said, "Here he is."

Hao Duoyu turned around and saw Chengjun. Yin Shi's eyes were filled with resentment.

Cheng Junyin felt guilty and took the initiative: "You should promote a few subordinates to help you with the coal matter."

He paused and then said: "If you don't have enough manpower, recruit a few more people."

Hao Duoyu looked slightly relieved, " Have you recruited the master and the accountant?"

"We have." Cheng Junyin walked to Brother Tang's side, took advantage of the cover of the counter, gently hugged Brother Tang's waist, and responded with a serious face, "Coal. This incident made the scholars in Chantie County change their views on the government. During this period, people came to the government one after another to recommend themselves, and I selected many talents from them."

Hao Duoyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you can feel more relaxed. "

He was tired during this period, and so was Chengjun Yin.

Chengjun Yin was responsible for almost all the clerical work in the county government, and he was really afraid that Chengjun Yin would give up his job.

"Sir! It's not good!" Gou Keng ran into the store in a panic, "People are dead! Coal kills people!"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Cheng Junyin grabbed Brother Tang's hand and comforted him: "It's okay. Brother

Tang pursed his lips, his eyes filled with worry.

Cheng Junyin touched his head and strode out with Hao Duoyu.

They followed Gou Jian to the downtown area and saw a group of people surrounding a thatched house from a distance, pointing at the house with complicated eyes.

Chengjunyin walked over quickly, and Goujian shouted, "Master is here, give way."

The crowd hurriedly moved out of the way, and Chengjunyin walked in. He saw a man dressed as a scholar lying on the ground, holding his arms on the ground. The old woman with a gray face and ragged clothes cried bitterly, "Mom! I am unfilial and I didn't take good care of you!"

Chengjun Yin frowned, "What's going on?"

The man's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth and glared at him, "Dog officer! It's all you! It's you who killed my mother! You just sold this cursed thing to us, no matter whether we live or die just to make the dirty money, there is no difference between you and them!"

Everyone was talking. Asked: "What curse?"

The man said loudly: "Don't you know? This thing is cursed by the mountain spirits. Anyone who uses it will have their souls sucked away by the spirits in their sleep. This is how my mother died. !"

Everyone was in an uproar.

Goucheng said angrily, "Nonsense! I've been using coal for so long, why haven't you seen anything happen to me?"

He asked others, "Didn't you use coal? Did something happen to you? It was obviously his fault for using it improperly!"

Hao Duo said Yu opened the door of the thatched house and was greeted by a smell. He was angry, "Who asked you to seal the house so tightly! This is not asking for death!"

He yelled, "I gave you coal for your use. I reminded you that this coal must be ventilated and used. I also reminded you when the coal store sold charcoal! Let me ask you, did you buy this coal or did your mother buy it?"

The man's eyes wandered, "I bought it, but no one reminded me. "

A lean aunt suddenly cursed, "You fart! I was watching while you were buying coal! I've reminded you several times!"

She looked at Cheng Juanyin, "Sir, you can also ask. I asked other people who were in the coal shop at the time. Many people heard it."

The man said again, "I didn't hear it."

The aunt scolded again, "You said it, but you didn't hear it before!" A popular and spicy drinker, have you ever cared about your mother's life and death? After being dismissed by Mr. Cheng, you came to steal your mother's money. I was still wondering why you were so kind as to give your mother charcoal yesterday. Now it seems that you clearly know? It's just bad intentions!"

The man was completely panicked and said over and over again: "That's nonsense! There's no evidence, why are you slandering me?"

"Yes, there is evidence." A little girl poked her head out from behind the crowd. "I heard you asked grandma to seal up the house, saying it would be warm."

Everyone was furious and yelled at the man.

The man panicked and knelt down to beg for mercy, "Sir, I was just obsessed for a moment and wanted to cheat some money to live. Please let me go. My mother died of her own volition."

If Chengjun Yin had heard these words, he would have died earlier. He kicked him up, but Cheng Junyin didn't even look at him at this moment. He just stared straight at the sallow-faced and skinny little girl, his pupils trembling.

Hao Duoyu noticed his abnormality and stood in front of him, "Sir, do you want to arrest the person and bring him to justice?"

Chengjun Yin came back to his senses, but the emotion in his heart could not be calmed down, "You arrest the person first."

Hao Duoyu noticed his abnormality. Duoyu did not move and reminded in a low voice, "Sir, Brother Tang is still waiting for news."

Chengjunyin pushed him away, "Go and tell him."

Hao Duoyu saw Chengjunyin staring at the little girl. I couldn't move my eyes away, and my heart felt cold.

On the way back, he kept thinking about how to hide this matter from Chengjun Yin, and felt sorry for Brother Tang.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but cursed, "Sir, you really deserve to die!"

Goukong: "..." I think so too, but I dare not say it.

The two looked at each other and sighed.

Sure enough, no matter how good a person is, he will become bad if he has money.

After escorting the person back to the Yamen, the two men came to the door of the coal store and pushed each other.

"You go in first."

"You first."

"My lord asked you to come and talk to the master's husband."

"You are my lord's book boy. If you don't tell me about him, who will?"

Brother Xi folded his hands on his chest and asked with a cold face: "What did you say?"

Both of them froze, Gou Cheng was calmer and said with a smile, "It means that the issue of people dying from coal has been solved."

Brother Xi is not a good person . Fooled, he sneered and looked at Hao Duoyu, "You tell me."

Hao Duoyu's skin was tense. Since he was caught by Brother Xi last time, he was particularly afraid of Brother Xi. He only felt that Brother Xi More ferocious than scourges.

The tall man, who was about 1.8 meters tall, blushed with guilt and trembled without daring to say a word.

Goukeng looked at Hao Duoyu frantically. His eyes were almost cramped, and Hao Duoyu couldn't say a word.

Brother Xi became more and more aware that something was wrong. He lifted up Hao Duoyu's collar and asked, "Speak quickly!"

A faint fragrance floated over, and Hao Duoyu stared blankly at the suddenly enlarged eyebrows in front of him, his heart beating a little. Quickly, I unconsciously said out loud: "You smell so good."

Not only does it smell good, it's also very pretty.

Brother Xi's face instantly turned red, half angry and half ashamed.

"Rogue!" Accompanied by a crisp slap, a curse alerted Brother Tang in the room.

When Brother Tang went out, he saw Hao Duoyu covering his face, looking aggrieved like a bullied little daughter-in-law, while Brother Xi stared and looked very angry and scary.

Brother Tang was silent for a while, then looked at Gou Keng, "What's going on?"

Gou Keng was also confused, "I don't know either."

He didn't know how the situation became more and more complicated.

It was snowing outside, so Brother Tang asked them all to come in. After they calmed down, he asked them one by one what happened.

Hao Duoyu still wanted to hide it for Cheng Junyin, but after being glared at by Brother Xi, he was so frightened that he told everything.

Gou sleeps with despair on his face.

If I had known he would have come alone!

Brother Xi was indignant, but Brother Tang calmly asked: "How old is that girl?"

Hao Duoyu thought for a long time, and said very straightforwardly: "She is hiding behind people, so I can't see really. I just think her The eyes are very beautiful, as if they have hooks. "

If it were the little girl next to me, they would not think wrong, but that girl is so beautiful.

Gou Keng said, "That girl is probably in her prime."

Hao Duoyu was surprised, "How can that girl be so old?"

Gou Keng sighed, "Chantie County is poor, and I think that girl doesn't have enough to eat all the time. , how can she look so good? "

But that girl is good-looking because of her eyes.

He was startled and suddenly looked at Brother Tang, his pupils slightly dilated.

Brother Tang looked at him doubtfully, "But what did you think of?"

Gou Jian didn't know whether he should say this or not, but when he saw Brother Tang's gentle, watery eyes looking straight at him, he Unable to go against his own heart, he said: "Her eyes are very similar to yours."

Hao Duoyu said after realizing, "Yes, yes! I just said that the little girl looked so familiar, as if she was there. I've never seen the same before."

Brother Tang pursed his lips and lowered his eyes in thought.

On the other side, Cheng Junyin has asked about the little girl's origin.

The little girl was an abandoned baby who was abandoned on the streets of a busy city. She was lucky enough to be picked up by a couple who couldn't have children.

Although their life was poor, it was pretty good. However, a heavy snowfall a few years ago took away the lives of the couple, leaving the little girl alone in the world.

The neighbors thought she was pitiful, so they often helped her. She was also hard-working and worked whenever there was work to support herself.

Chengjunyin looked at the little girl, for fear of scaring her, and asked softly: "What is your name?"

The little girl opened her big eyes, stared at Chengjunyin curiously, and whispered, "My name is Jing Xun. Yun."

Chengjun Yin's heart was shocked.

The neighbor added, "I heard that this name was given by her biological parents. When they picked her up, the name was already on her swaddling clothes."

Jing Yinyun didn't understand why Chengjun Yin stared at her with eyes that she couldn't understand. I moved back a little scared.

The cold wind was biting, and Jing Xunyun shivered coldly.

Cheng Junyin's heart softened. Looking at Jing Yinyun like this, he thought of Brother Tang back then.

He took off his cloak and put it on Jing Yinyun, and asked, "Would you like to come back with me?"

Jing Yinyun looked at him blankly, "Why should I go back with you?"

Chengjun Yin got straight to the point, "You You look very much like my husband. I suspect you are his sister, so I want to take you back to find out about it."

Jing Yinyun was stunned, "What if I'm not?"

"Then just listen to my husband. "My husband's name is Jing Tangyun." Cheng Junyin lowered her voice

and tightened her hands, "I'll go back with you."

She often wondered who her biological parents were. Who and why abandoned her, was it because she was born unpopular.

But sometimes she deceives herself and thinks that maybe her parents have unspeakable difficulties.

After her parents left, she thought she had no relatives. During the Lantern Festival, when she listened to the laughter and laughter in other people's homes, she felt empty in her heart.

She longs to find her loved ones.

Even if this hope is slim, it may not be realized in a lifetime.

After they left, everyone talked a lot.

Some people think that Jing Yinyun is just unlucky, while others think that this must be a misunderstanding.

After all, how could someone as noble as the county magistrate's husband be related to an abandoned baby?

After the coal was sold out, Brother Tang took Brother Xi back home.

On the way back, he heard a commotion outside in the carriage, as if someone was laughing and someone was crying.

Brother Xi saw Brother Tang's doubts and asked, "Amu, what's going on outside?"

Amu said excitedly, "Those people who were captured by the dog officers are back!"

Brother Tang heard this and teased her gently. Open carriage curtains.

On the street, some of the relatives who recognized each other hugged each other and cried, while some cried with joy.

Brother Tang couldn't help but feel happy for them, and suddenly he saw a skinny couple walking in the crowd in a daze but with a hint of hope.

They seemed to want to ask for directions, but the people around them were busy and excited, and no one paid any attention to them.

"Stop!" Brother Tang didn't know how he shouted. He didn't even have time to wait for the car to stop before he rushed out of the carriage. His knees fell hard to the ground. He didn't notice the pain. He just walked towards the couple stubbornly. He rushed in the direction of his husband, opening his mouth to shout something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and no sound could come out.

When he arrived at the place where the couple was, he could no longer see those two familiar faces.

It was as if all his strength had been drained away from him in an instant, and he looked at the crowded crowd helplessly and blankly.

"Househusband!" Brother Xi finally caught up and saw Brother Tang standing in despair.

Brother Xi was frightened and shouted in a crying voice, "Househusband, even if I am unfaithful, you can't torture yourself like this."

Brother Tang shook his head, "You misunderstood."

His eyes swept across The faces of everyone around him murmured, "I saw it, I obviously saw it."

Brother Xi only thought that Brother Tang couldn't stand the stimulation and was stunned. He pulled Brother Tang back with tears in his eyes, "Let's go back Please ask the doctor to treat you."

Brother Tang let Brother Xi pull him back, but his eyes were looking back, filled with tears.

He read it right, that was his father and mother-in-law.

They are still alive!

Cheng Junyin took Jing Yinyun back to the mansion and asked Aunt Chang to take care of Jing Yinyun.

Jing Yiyun was a little scared when she first arrived at the mansion, but she soon got used to it.

She seems to be born with a lot of courage and is smarter than others, otherwise she would not have lived to be so old.

Chengjun Yin was anxious to tell Brother Tang about this. After hearing that Brother Tang was back, he hurriedly walked out. The moment he saw Brother Tang, his whole body became breathless, and his face looked horribly ugly.

"What's going on?"

Brother Xi supported Brother Tang and glared at Chengjun Yin angrily after hearing this. He dared not say anything in anger.

The tears on Brother Tang's face had dried. He looked at Chengjun Yin absentmindedly, wanting to say something, but he burst into tears before he could say anything.

Chengjun Yin strode over and picked up Brother Tang. As he walked in, he shouted, "Call the doctor! Hurry up!"

He put Brother Tang on the bed and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you? Tell me, okay? If you can't tell, please hold my hand and tell me."

Cheng Junyin was heartbroken by Brother Tang's crying. He held Brother Tang's hand and begged, "Don't be scared. I, Brother Tang, I can't bear it."

Brother Tang was crying out of breath, and finally managed to say intermittently, "I saw them, I obviously saw them."

Chengjun Yin hugged him. Brother Tang, while giving him some luck, asked: "Who did you see?"
