Chapter 80: Slave City
Zhuang Zihao walked to the kitchen and asked for some hot water, and walked to the bathing room with it.
"Hmm~ It's so comfortable!"
Zhuang Zihao washed it out, stretched his waist, and said with emotion.
In the past few days, he has stayed in the mountains every day to clean up the valley, and for various reasons, the weeds in the valley have made him clean up a small half.
"Zihao, let's get ready to eat, the meal will be ready soon!"
Su Huiniang looked at her son, who was holding his waist and looking up at the sky, and shouted,
"Got it, mother!"
Zhuang Zihao turned his head and replied loudly.
On the dinner table
"Eldest sister, your cooking skills are getting better and better, and you're about to catch up with your mother, and your brother-in-law will have a good mouth in the future~"
Zhuang Zihao ate the braised pork in his mouth and praised.
“……”
Yun Jin, who was eating, almost didn't squirt out when he heard his brother's words, and a faint pink color suddenly appeared on his face that was still fair just now, and he was embarrassed at first glance.
"Isn't it, this blink of an eye Kung Fu Yunjin is about to get married, this time flies so fast......"
Su Huiniang paused for a moment, and said with some sadness.
Several sisters and brothers on the side listened to Su Huiniang's emotion, and they all ate the food silently and listened quietly.
"Okay, say all this, do what, eat!"
Father Zhuang, who was silently eating a meal on the side, suddenly spoke.
The dinner table fell silent, and everyone ate their meals quietly.
Father Zhuang put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at his youngest son who was still eating.
"Zihao!"
"Well, Dad, what's wrong?"
Zhuang Zihao was puzzled, looked up at Zhuang Dad who was looking at him, and asked.
"Forget it, you can eat first, and we'll talk about it later!"
After speaking, he glanced at his daughter-in-law and went to the study.
"Mother, Dad, what's the matter?"
Zhuang Zihao looked at Father Zhuang, who went to the study, and looked at Su Huiniang, who was drinking radish soup, suspiciously.
"It's nothing, you'll find out when you go in a moment!"
Su Huiniang perfunctory to her son, a little upset.
She is now thinking about the two eldest sons, this Yunjin is about to get married, this Zirui hasn't sent a single news back, and I don't know if he is dead, Zijie's child is too, and now she doesn't even have a girl who is married.
Thinking of this, Su Huiniang glared at Zhuang Zihao angrily, and lost her appetite for eating, so she simply put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and went back to the house, she felt that she wanted to be quiet now, although she didn't know who Jingjing was?
Who is Jingjing?
In the past, a puppy raised by the eldest sister of the Hanlin family next door was also called Jingjing......
"Big sister?"
Zhuang Zihao shouted aggrievedly, what's wrong with me, why are you glaring at me?
"I don't know anything?"
Yun Jin shook her head, she also felt that her mother was very strange today!
"Second sister? Third sister? ”
Zhuang Zihao shifted his gaze to the other two sisters.
“???”
The two sisters looked at each other and shook their heads!
"Uh~"
Zhuang Zihao looked at the sisters who didn't know anything, turned grief and anger into appetite, and ate meat in a big gulp, hum~
"I'm ready to eat~"
After speaking, Zhuang Zihao put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked to the study, he wanted to see, what happened today?
"Daddy~"
Zhuang Zihao looked at the open door, slowly walked in, and looked at Father Zhuang, who was holding a book and reading energetically.
"It's coming~"
Father Zhuang looked at his son sitting on the side, put down the book in his hand, poured a cup of tea, and moved to his son's side.
"Well, Dad, what's the matter?"
Zhuang Zihao took the tea, took a sip, and asked.
"This morning, the village chief sent fifty taels of silver, and the green vegetables and radishes you just ate, do you think this silver ......?"
Father Zhuang took out the silver, put it in front of his son, and chattered.
"Well, my son thinks that we can't ask for this silver, it was originally to get together in the neighborhood, but we just solved a few wolves, how can we still ask for silver, the village chief has done ...... thing"
Zhuang Zihao listened to the truth of the matter and frowned slightly.
"Well, in that case, you can send this silver back in a moment!"
Father Zhuang's face was as usual, and he said calmly.
"Well, okay? Is there anything else going on with Dad? ”
Zhuang Zihao glanced at the navy blue money bag containing fifty taels of silver on the table, and nodded in response.
"Well, what's going on in your valley?"
Father Zhuang took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, looked at his son and asked.
"The weeds are half cleared, and the things that will be sponsored by the carpenter in the future are ready, and the green bricks and stone tiles have been sent up the mountain, but there is still a batch of timber that will have to wait for seven days to go to the town, and this person has not yet gone to Renyazi to pick ......."
Zhuang Zihao told everything he had done and what he was about to do.
"Well, the matter of the valley has to be accelerated, this matter should be sooner rather than later, after all, this matter is related to the future life of our family, and the storage of this grain must also be prepared quickly......"
Father and son were talking about the valley in the study.
"By the way, there is a slave city in Fucheng, if you can't find a good candidate in the town and county, you can go there and see, there are everyone there, your second brother should know where it is, and when you want to go, you can let your second brother go with you!"
In the study room, which was quiet for a while, Father Zhuang suddenly remembered that most of the slaves who had been raided in the past were sent to various prefectures, so if you want to find something that is really capable and can be traded, you can go to the slave market in the prefecture to have a look.
"Slave City?"
Zhuang Zihao said in surprise.
"Hmm!"
Father Zhuang looked at his surprised son and nodded slightly.
"Hehe, Dad, how did you know that there was a slave market in Fucheng, and I haven't seen you go out?"
Zhuang Zi smiled and raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuang's father, he had already discovered that his father and mother didn't seem to have left this village, which was a very strange thing.
It's like the eldest sister's family affair this time, I was supposed to ask my mother to take my sister to my brother-in-law's house to see, but their family was directly changed, and the man came to the house to see each other, this thing was done, as well as the jewelry and fabrics used by the eldest sister to get married, and what dowry products, other people's families were all selected by the mother and the woman in the store, and when they came, it became a matter for him and the second brother, which is really weird!
"How old are you, how do you know that your father and I haven't gone out, heh."
Father Zhuang glanced at his son and said with a sneer.
"Hehe, how about you accompany your son to the town in seven days to see what is still missing in the valley?"
Zhuang Zihao smiled, stared at Father Zhuang intently, and asked tentatively.
"Go by yourself, your father and I have to be busy in the field for a while, how can I have time to accompany you, you can do the things in the valley yourself, if you want to go, you can't make up your mind to ask me or your second brother!"
Father Zhuang calmly refused, joking, if he can leave this village now, does he still need to ask his son to take the risk of going to the Wolong Mountains to find a place of refuge, wouldn't it be better to take the family directly to the imperial city?
