Chapter 7: Catching Thieves on the Streets
Xiang Ping thanked Steward Zhang, made an appointment to take it and left, Xiao Manzhen looked at Steward Zhang by the well, Steward Zhang didn't look at him, and called Zhao Jiu in his mouth: "Zhao Jiu, take the basket and go out with me." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Yes!" Zhao Jiu hurriedly carried the vegetable basket and followed Steward Zhang, and the two of them walked in front of Xiao Man, Zhao Jiu only felt a hot gaze in the back of his head, and he couldn't wait to stare him through.
In the past six months, Zhao Jiu has never walked out of the kitchen yard for a long time, and he followed Steward Zhang out of the Wu Mansion from the back door. The dew-soaked bluestone slab was a little slippery, and the crisp breath penetrated Zhao Jiu's nose, and he cautiously and carefully followed behind Steward Zhang, not daring to raise his head, let alone look around.
Bending too much, bowing too much back, and responding too much, Zhao Jiu almost forgot how to go.
You have to get up early to buy groceries, but the two of them are late today, and there are already people on the road. Steward Zhang watched Zhao Jiu closely, took two steps and looked at it, and saw Zhao Jiu carrying a basket and honestly following him before putting a snack.
Most of the vendors on the street are familiar with Steward Zhang, and they will follow wherever they go, they are very enthusiastic, and some people directly stuff fresh vegetables into Zhao Jiu's basket, with a smile on their faces: "The first wave this spring, picked early in the morning, Steward Zhang tasted it!" ”
The asparagus in the basket was emerald green, and the meat at the broken mouth was tender and white, and Steward Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, I want this bundle!" ”
The two walked to the river, Zhao Jiu's basket was already stuffed with all kinds of vegetables and fruits, which were all trivial, and the big ones had already been sent to the Wu Mansion. Someone by the river also saw Steward Zhang, and greeted him from afar: "What do Steward Zhang want to eat today?" ”
Steward Zhang arched his hand and said with a smile: "A little shrimp, don't bother Cai's style!" ”
"Eh, how can Steward Zhang find someone else for this thing in the water?" The stout man came out of the boat with a basin, full of lively little shrimp, and he said, "How do you see Steward Zhang?" I'll send it to the house! ”
"Don't, don't-" Steward Zhang hurriedly stopped: "I just need a bowl!" ”
"Where's that?" Cai Jiangshi deliberately glared at him and said, "Steward Zhang came to the river but only needed a bowl of small shrimps, isn't this stingy with my surname Cai?" ”
"Where, where, Cai misunderstood--yes!" Steward Zhang pushed but had no choice but to respond, so Cai poured the dried shrimp into the bucket and sent two people to carry the bucket and follow Steward Zhang to the Wu Mansion. Suddenly, I don't know where to get out of someone, and he squeezed around the crowd like a monkey, and when he squeezed past Zhao Jiu, Zhao Jiu found that he was dragging several money bags in his hands.
Ah, dayghost!
It was as if a fire ignited Zhao Jiu all at once, Zhao Jiu was hot, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "Don't run!" As soon as the thief heard that someone called him out, he was also anxious, and ran away from the crowd, Zhao Jiu chased after him with his basket, and shouted in his mouth: "Stop!" ”
Steward Zhang was shocked by the sudden situation, he thought that Zhao Jiu had seen an acquaintance and wanted to run away, so he immediately said to the two people who Cai lent him: "Chase!" Chase! ”
The thief relied on the familiar terrain, turned left and right in an attempt to get rid of Zhao Jiu, and when he turned around, he found that Zhao Jiu was still following him, and he was shocked and frightened, so he shook his head and ran wildly.
The wind whistled past Zhao Jiu's ears, and people and houses were quickly left behind by him. He didn't know when the basket on his arm was lost, he only knew that it was easy to throw off his arm.
"Wang! Woof! Huahua's cry drifted into Zhao Jiu's mind, and he remembered that he had run so happily when Daddy was still there, and Daddy always shouted behind him: "Dog, slow down, slow down!" Look at the feet, the feet-down! ”
Whose dog is he?
He's Daddy's dog.
Why is he called Zhao Jiu?
He wants to become Zhao Jiu.
Just like a seed breaking through the ground, Zhao Jiu also had something in his heart that broke through the wall, the light emanated from his eyes, the sweat fell with his hair, the sky was running, the earth was running, and all the hustle and bustle was far away - he was an upright Zhao Jiu, he wanted to be Zhao Jiu who stood up to the sky!
The thief was forced by Zhao Jiu to have nowhere to escape, so he turned around in a big circle and ran back to the river, jumping into the river. Zhao Jiu didn't have time to stop the momentum, so he had to quickly sit down with his buttocks, and almost smashed his buttocks, which could be stopped on the edge of the riverbank.
Cai Jiangshi's two subordinates chased after him breathlessly, stopped in front of Zhao Jiu with his hands on his knees and gasped for breath, one of them pointed at Zhao Jiu and scolded: "Okay, you rabbit cub, you killed us-"
The thief who fell into the river didn't run far, and was fished up after a short time, sat on the ground and rolled his eyes at Zhao Jiu, and said softly: "Brother Tai, since I didn't provoke you, why do you want to catch me?" The road is on one side of the road, why can't you get along with me? It's okay now, I'm just squatting in prison for a few days, anyway, there is food and shelter in that place, you are miserable, you have caused a big disaster, you-"
Zhao Jiu sat on the ground and looked at the thief, his face was smudged, his hair was on his cheeks and forehead, and he was also embarrassed. He didn't understand what the thief was talking about, so he just waited for Steward Zhang to clean him up. Caught quickly also heard the sound, first took the thief, I heard that Zhao Jiu is a person from the Wu Mansion did not dare to tie him up, just wait for Steward Zhang to come and speak.
Steward Zhang didn't know where he fell, and it took a long time before he came slowly with his waist in hand, his face was pale and pale, and he raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Jiu and trembled several times before saying, "Go back and clean you up!" ”
The two arresters quickly searched for the stolen goods from the thief and led the thief back to the mansion, and Zhao Jiu explained a little and then Steward Zhang took it back. In the morning, Zhao Jiu was ruined like this, and he almost caused a lawsuit, Zhang Guan was angry, and scolded Zhao Jiu bitterly: "The thief is caught quickly, who are you Zhao Jiu, do you want you to come out, ah?" Do you think there was only one person in the thief? If it weren't for Cai's two men chasing you, would you have been beaten to death today? Hmph, I don't know how thick the sky is! ”
When he was young, Steward Zhang came to the kitchen, and he directly called Zhao Jiu to ask about the farce in the morning, so that Zhao Jiu was locked up in the firewood room, and no one was allowed to visit him until the master returned to the house to see how to deal with Zhao Jiu. Steward Zhang was also reprimanded by Steward Zhang, saying that he was too generous to others, which made him mess up the rules and lose the face of Wu Mansion.
At the end, Steward Zhang called the old Zhang who was in charge of the spoon and Steward Zhang and said: "Our Zhang family can have what it is today, thanks to the master's support, you two must not get carried away, you must always remember the master's teachings, in addition to doing your duty, you must also think about solving problems for the master and the house, and you must not condone people to make trouble." ”
Lao Zhang Ying said: "The second brother has learned a lesson, and I will pay special attention to the eldest brother in the future!" ”
Steward Zhang responded: "The second brother has learned a lesson, today is the negligence of the younger brother, and the younger brother will definitely discipline them strictly in the future!" ”
Steward Zhang looked at the courtyard and sighed, and said: "I know that you two have always been conscientious, and you also know the difficulties of the master, how many pairs of eyes are staring at our mansion outside, so you have to be cautious and act in a valuing manner." ”
