Zhong Xuanlan frowned lightly, glanced at Zhong Tinghao lightly, and said, "Huh? ”

Zhong Tinghao glanced at Zhong Xuanlan's expression, struggled for a while, turned around and pulled the young man behind the right, pushed the person forward, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Just him." ”

Zhong Xuanlan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the boy in front of him, well, he looked like he was about thirteen years old, his dull and yellowish hair was tied with a square scarf on the top of his head, there was no trace of messiness, his face was sallow, thin and thin, and he was dressed in patches that did not fit.

His small mouth was tightly pursed, his fists were clenched, his round apricot eyes were not cowardly, he was staring ahead, and his clear eyes made people's hearts shock.

She didn't seem to have seen such a look in a long time, and she really missed it.

The young man felt that such a beautiful woman was an unattainable existence for him, and he was surprised that she was actually the one who wanted to recruit a son-in-law.

Zhong Xuanlan pinched her eyebrows, helpless, can't her father's vision be better? Refused: "It's too small." ”

The young man lowered his eyes, his eyes flashed with loss, and he also wondered how such a beautiful woman could look down on him.

Zhong Tinghao hurriedly said: "He is sixteen years old, as long as he takes care of himself, he will grow taller after a while."

Zhong Xuanlan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he interrupted Zhong Tinghao's words and said, "Make it clear." ”

When Zhong Tinghao heard Zhong Xuanlan's words, he blurted out: "He is really," sixteen years old.

"Huh?"

Zhong Tinghao looked at Zhong Xuanlan's gaze, thought about it, and made a mistake, and confidently told him about the bet he made in the teahouse.

When the three people in the house heard Zhong Tinghao's words, they were very shocked, 500,000 taels, how rich this family is.

Zhong Xuanlan squinted his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he raised his eyes to look at the three people in the room, and said lightly: "Then what is going on with them?" ”

Zhong Tinghao touched his nose and whispered: "Hehe, this, this is not to see his filial piety and good conduct, so I will bring it to you to see." ”

Zhong Xuanlan glanced at Zhong Tinghao coldly, and threatened: "If you talk nonsense, don't think about going out again this month." ”

Zhong Tinghao hurriedly told him about the thief.

Zhong Xuanlan listened, his right hand kept tapping on the table, and his sharp eyes looked at the three people in the room.

His eyes were fixed on the woman, about forty years of age, dressed in a white-washed dress, slightly wrinkled, with a wooden hairpin in a bun, and a haggard face, but her eyes glittered with greed.

Then he turned to the girl, she was very thin, ten years old, with a bun, round almond eyes glancing around, avoiding the gaze of others, and her old clothes were the best of the three of them.

In the end, his eyes were on the young man's body, and he wondered, is there such a coincidence in the world? As soon as her father made a bet, the money bag was stolen, and this young man appeared, could they be sent by the Liu family?

The percussion sound was rhythmic, and the three people in the room listened to the drums with great heart.

The young man who was stared at was a little flustered, listening to the sound of percussion, just like the ventriloquist performance he had heard, the thunder of war drums, the sound of horses' hooves, and the desperate fighting of the soldiers, which made people's blood boil, and their hearts were fascinated, and they slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhong Xuanlan saw Chunzhi hurriedly walking in from outside, standing at the door, and said, "Family master, my subordinates have something to report." ”

stopped the tapping action, squinted slightly and glanced at Zhong Tinghao, and said coldly: "Come in and talk back." ”

Zhong Tinghao sat there, holding the lid of the teacup tightly, feeling bad, always feeling that the east window incident was going to happen, thinking about whether it was too late to escape now?

Zhong Xuanlan looked at the young man and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The young man pursed his lips tightly, and after a moment, he said nervously, "Lu Xuannian." ”

Zhong Xuanlan was slightly stunned, his voice was very good, making people feel like bathing in a spring breeze. "Where do you live?" ”

Under Zhong Xuanlan's gaze, Lu Xuannian subconsciously reported his home address and said, "Lujia Village, Qiyun Town, Qingyun County." ”

Zhong Xuanlan listened and ordered Dong Solstice to arrange for someone to send his family back.

Winter Solstice's eyes flashed with surprise, and after a while, he led the three members of the Lu family to retreat.

Disappointment flashed in the woman's eyes, but she still thanked Zhong Xuanlan a little and pulled her daughter away.

Lu Xuannian took a deep look at Zhong Xuanlan again, turned around and left.

After the people left, after Chun Zhi saluted Zhong Xuanlan, he replied: "The head of the family, this morning the next person found that the windows of the treasury in the house were pried, and after counting, this list is a stolen thing. As he spoke, he handed the list of thefts from the warehouse to Zhong Xuanlan.

Zhong Xuanlan took it and took a look, he actually lost so many things, five boxes of silver coins, ten jars of Tusu wine, twenty pearls, a piece of ice flower hibiscus jade, a small Buddha statue of mutton fat and white jade, and a jade Ruyi......

looked at Zhong Tinghao's place with a slight cold, and found that Zhong Tinghao's eyes were dodging, glancing around, so good that he dared to toss under her nose.

said in a flat tone: "Dad, you can really do it." ”

At this time, Zhong Xuanli, who came over, also knew that the incident in the east window had happened, and just wanted to slip away, he was seen by Zhong Xuanlan, and said loudly: "Zhong Xuanli, you stop for me." ”

Zhong Xuanli smiled and walked into the hall.

Hurried to Zhong Tinghao's side and whispered, "Dad, what should I do?" ”

Zhong Tinghao proposed: "Son, why don't you bear it all?" ”

Zhong Xuanli pouted and said: "Dad, why don't you bear it all, the so-called don't teach it, it's my father's fault, it's not you who taught me now, so Dad, you bear it all, I'll bring you a box of cloud tea, how about it?" ”

Zhong Tinghao patted the back of Zhong Xuanli's head, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, I'm your father, why should Lao Tzu bear it all, your filial piety." ”

“……”

Zhong Xuanlan saw that they were still arguing about who was responsible at this time, and they didn't know what was wrong at all.

With anger burning in his eyes, he directly ordered Zhong Tinghao's father and son to be grounded for three months, and the dividends were deducted from the loss of the treasury.

Uncle Zhong, the steward of the front yard of the house, and Chunzhi, the steward of the back yard, received an order and began to arrange the protection of the house, trying to keep Zhong Tinghao and his son at home.

The subordinates stared at Zhong Tinghao and his son, and as soon as they made a little noise, the news immediately reached the ears of the two stewards.

This also made Zhong Xuanli, who was going to sneak out of the house that night, be hung on an osmanthus tree in a corner of the back garden.

Early in the morning, Zhong Tinghao stood under the tree with a smile and looked at Zhong Xuanli, who was caught in the net and hung on the tree, and was very happy in his heart.

Zhong Xuanli looked at Zhong Tinghao's appearance, he was angry and wanted to beat someone.

Zhong Tinghao asked, "Son, are you hungry?" ”

Zhong Xuanli said angrily: "I'm not hungry." ”

"Oh. Then I'm gone. Zhong Tinghao made a gesture to leave.

Zhong Xuanli saw that Zhong Tinghao was really leaving, so he hurriedly stopped Zhong Tinghao and said, "Dad, wait, Dad, don't go, come back!" ”

Zhong Tinghao turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhong Xuanli pursed his lips and compromised: "Dad, I'm hungry, can you send me something to eat?" ”

Zhong Tinghao looked up at Zhong Xuanli slightly, his expression hesitant.

Zhong Xuan left and said, "Fifty taels." ”

Zhong Tinghao shook his head slightly.

Zhong Xuanli said again: "One hundred taels, any more will be gone." ”

Zhong Tinghao stared at Zhong Xuanli for a long time and nodded. shouted to the opposite side, "Zhong Xin brought the food over for the young master to eat." ”

Zhong Xin listened, and hurriedly walked from behind the tree opposite with the food box.

Zhong Tinghao stretched out his hand to Zhong Xuanli to ask for money, and said, "Stinky boy, where is the money?" ”

Zhong Xuan said, "No." ”

Zhong Tinghao squatted under the tree and thought: "My son deceived Lao Tzu, my son is not filial, the stinky boy bullied Lao Tzu, be careful of the thunder and ...... in the sky."

Zhong Xuan fell straight away from a black line, took a hundred taels of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Zhong Tinghao, and hurriedly sent the person away, he was afraid of indigestion.

Zhong Tinghao took the silver ticket and left with a smile.

After the people left, Dong Solstice flew up the tree and put Zhong Xuanli down.

Zhong Xuanli was very resentful, and his one hundred taels were gone.

If he didn't know that his sister was cheating on him now, he would have lived in vain.

Hmph, sister, you wait for me......
