Chapter 23: Preparation

Zhuang Zihao looked at the puzzled Zhuang Dad suspiciously.

"Dad, didn't you read the content before copying it for me?" Zhuang Zihao looked at Father Zhuang in surprise.

Father Zhuang listened to his son's question, and thought about the situation that day in his mind for a while, uh! I think back to that day, I really didn't read it, so I took it to my son and copied it, but that biography looks no different from anything else!

"Ahem, since you said that you learned from that book, then you go and bring that book to your mother. If it's really in a book, then forget it this time. ”

Father Zhuang didn't want to admit that it was his carelessness that allowed the child to read that kind of book. With so many people watching, I don't want to lose face!

"Yes, Dad, my son will go and get it!"

Zhuang Zihao said excitedly, and then ran to the study to get the book, looking at the study full of books, he couldn't help but burst into tears, fortunately with you, I was saved from this catastrophe, hehe, Dad, you are responsible for the black pot this time.

After taking the book in his hand, Zhuang Zihao ran back with a smile and handed the book in his hand to his mother.

"Mother, you see it's what this book says, my son really didn't lie."

Zhuang Zihao innocently looked at Su Huiniang, who was flipping through the book and watching.

Zhuang Zijie and the others looked at their younger brother in surprise, since there is really such a thing, why don't I remember. However, they are also very happy that their brother can escape this fate.

Father Zhuang looked at his daughter-in-law who was flipping through the book expressionlessly, and he panicked.

It can't really be!

Su Huiniang frowned and probably read the whole book, and her face was not very good. She wondered what was going on with her husband, and even asked her child to copy this kind of book, which was a novel about love and hatred under the guise of a biography. It's all about some private matters in the back house.

Regarding Xianggong's carelessness this time, Su Huiniang expressed her dissatisfaction.

Is this kind of book supposed to be read to a child who is only a few years old? Oh, look at this, don't you go to school, forget it, let's talk about it in the future, it's really Xianggong's fault this time.

However, the face of the prince still has to be given.

Su Huiniang finished reading the book in her hand and took the book to Xianggong, hoping that he would also have a long memory, and pay attention to it next time when letting the child copy the book, it is no problem to read it first.

Father Zhuang looked at his daughter-in-law's eyes and knew that this time it must be his problem, took the book, flipped through it a few times, roughly read the content, and his face was a little bad, he thought, what kind of broken book is this, who wrote it, come out, I promise not to kill you. It turns out that the first few pages of this book are no problem with a biography, but when it comes to the back, it has changed to those things about the backhouse and the private affairs, but he lives in the biggest backhouse in the world, and the things in it are all clear. It seems that in the future, I really can't just look at the first few pages in order to save trouble.

But in front of his sons, he still wants to be a father.

"Ahem, forget about this this time, but Zihao, don't read this kind of book in the future. And all the bad things in your head have been forgotten by me. Okay, sit down, and move on to what you just did. It's all disrupted by you. ”

Father Zhuang looked at his little son, who was still ignorant and ignorant, and persuaded him earnestly.

"Got it, Dad."

Zhuang Zihao returned to his seat after speaking, he knew that this time the matter was perfunctory.

Seeing his brothers and sisters secretly looking at him with admiration, he was still very proud of his wit.

Zhuang Yi looked at the children who were secretly making small moves, and he was also very helpless. He looked at his daughter-in-law who was drinking tea again, and continued the topic that had been interrupted just now.

"Zi'an, Yunjin, what do you think after listening to what Zijie said?"

The two siblings who were nominated glanced at each other. Make eye contact. At the same time, he withdrew his gaze.

"Dad, my daughter knows four important pieces of information from the news brought by the second brother."

After Zhuang Yunjin finished speaking, she looked at her father steadily and elegantly.

"Well, say!"

Father Zhuang looked at his eldest daughter, who was becoming more and more like a daughter-in-law, and felt very relieved.

"This first, this person named Lao Jin, they are looking for an important person, Zhao Yi, a former seventh prince who has been missing for many years."

Hearing her daughter mention the word Zhao Yi, Su Huiniang couldn't help but glance at Xianggong. When he saw that there was nothing wrong with Xianggong, he retracted his gaze, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

Zhuang Yi nodded and motioned for his daughter to continue.

"Second, they are all working for the same person, and that person has a lot of power in his hands."

"Third, I don't know where they got the news, but in a few years there will be a widespread drought, and people are sending people to collect a lot of supplies."

"Fourth, this is about the border war. This task called Lao Jin is to intercept military supplies, and if he succeeds, it will bring great trouble to the battlefield. There may be many soldiers who will be killed and injured because of the problem of food and grass. ”

"That's all my daughter has to say."

"Well, Zi'an, what do you have to add."

Zhuang Zi'an heard his father ask him, thought about it and said.

"From their conversation, we can know that the situation is going to be chaotic at this time, and the side called Lao Jin doesn't know what to do, and collects a large number of materials, especially this iron, which is necessary for making weapons. He also sent people to loot grain and grass, which shows that the people behind him have great ambitions. It seems that we need to make more preparations before this is a big mess. Otherwise, in the next few years, those days will not be saved, alas, I don't know how many deaths and injuries will be killed this time. It's a pity that it would be good if we could take care of ourselves, if we want to help the people, it is up to us, it is absolutely impossible, and maybe the emperor can't take care of this situation today. ”

Zhuang Zi'an sighed and shook his head helplessly, although the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, maybe it also depends on whether you have the ability. Otherwise, it's just a gift of heads.

Zhuang Yi looked at his third son, who was only eight or nine years old, shaking his head and sighing with an adult, and he didn't know if he learned it from his gentlemen.

"Anything else to add?"

Zhuang Yi glanced at the children present.

"No ......"

The children replied in unison.

"Very well, since you don't talk about it, then it's my turn."

The children all nodded.

"Whether they are looking for people, collecting supplies, or robbing the army, what they want to do has nothing to do with us, we just need to prepare in advance for a few years from now. Since they said that there would be a widespread drought, then in order to be able to eat enough in the future, we also need to gather more supplies, and we also need to find a hidden place to put away, and we are looking for a hidden water source. ”

"Collect the materials and leave it to Zijie to do, you are on the side to assist, Zihao, I know that you often go to the back mountain, and this search for the storage of materials will be handed over to you, this is hidden and the safest place in the turmoil is none other than our back mountain."

Because Zhuang Yi and Su Huiniang couldn't leave this village, otherwise he would take the children to the imperial city. When it was affected by the disaster, it was the safest place, Zhuang Yi couldn't help but think of those officials who were greedy for life and afraid of death, as well as those wealthy merchants. Sneered in my heart. For their own sake, they will protect their safe havens.
