Chapter 23: There is no right or wrong in a white lie

Listening to the words of the injured mountain people, Zhang Zhong's heart was a little uncomfortable, he felt that he had deceived these people who looked vicious, but in fact they were kind in their hearts and looked barbaric.

Zhang Zhong's eyes changed, and Zhang Xiaobao, who was proficient in a variety of psychology, understood what was going on with his father, and hurriedly said: "Dad, the child doesn't know the name of this uncle yet, and when the uncle has a child, let the uncle send it here, and the child will have a younger brother or sister." ”

Hearing his son's words, Zhang Zhong also recovered, personally looked at the bandaged place of this person, and said to this person: "Be obedient, they are all the people under my rule, and they don't listen to me, so how can I let everyone live a good life?" I don't know what you call it? ”

"My lord, my name is that tree, can adults really lead everyone to a good life? Don't bully us mountain people? "The first time the injured man saw such a big official, he couldn't imagine how big it was, after all, it was in a big place, and everyone had to listen to this person.

In the past, he was disgusted with the government and hostile to the people here, all because he came down to the mountains to do things and ask for food when he was a child, and the people here treated him badly, he learned the language here, and became an important person for the mountain people to contact here.

His position on the mountain is second only to the patriarch, this time down, he was injured, and he didn't want to be blessed by misfortune, the petty officials bullied people, but the big officials were so kind, and unconsciously agreed with Zhang Zhong's dominance.

Zhang Zhong put his face on the board, "That tree, right?" In the future, the official doesn't want to hear the name of the mountain people, in the official's opinion, they are all the same people, you just live in the mountains, and you can send Cui Yu to Benzhou, when will the child be born? If it's too late, the official will send the required things first.

When the child is born, if it is a man, the official wants to accept it as a righteous son, if it is a woman, then it will be accepted as a righteous daughter, you can go down the mountain to live in the state capital, and the official will give you the land, if you don't go down the mountain, the official will send someone to teach the righteous son or daughter, and my son Xiaobao and daughter-in-law Juan Juan will have a younger brother or sister. ”

That tree knew a lot of things, and when he heard Zhang Zhong's words, he couldn't lie there anymore, so he sat up suddenly, looked at Zhang Zhong, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "Adult, do you really want to accept my child as a righteous son?" But, but ......"

"As soon as I look at you, I can guess that the child in the future must be very likable, Xiaobao and Juan Juan play together, and there is no companion, and there will be more small ones in the future, and the two of them will be able to play with more people.

Xiaobao, go and ask people to prepare 100 horses of silk, 100,000 yuan, 20 catties of honey, 10 horses of silk, take one horse of cotton cloth used by your own people at home, send 100 frozen elbows first, 20 jars of wine, and 10 catties of Longjing tea picked, and you can take care of the rest of the grain and oil yourself. ”

Zhang Zhong praised the tree and told his son to prepare things, Zhang Xiaobao agreed to leave, and Wang Juan stepped forward and said: "Actually, Xiaobao and I want to have a sister, that uncle, if you give birth to a sister, you should send it over as soon as possible, I will take her to play and teach her to read." ”

Wang Juan is afraid that others will be patriarchal, she herself has a deep understanding that the reason why she was thrown into the Zhang family is not because of her daughter, but now that she is good, no one will despise her, what makes her happy is that Zhang Zhong, the future father-in-law, has never despised her, perhaps because of the relationship between the future mother-in-law, she is committed to marrying Zhang Zhong, so that Zhang Zhong does not dare to despise her.

At this time, she deliberately said that she liked her sister, and if she really gave birth to a girl, the tree would not despise her.

The tree looked at the little girl in front of him, and it was like a reassuring pill to eat, recalling what the adult said to send just now, and he was excited again, and finally felt the ability of the big official, and sent so many things that he usually didn't dare to think of, and he didn't hesitate at all.

"My lord, do you need more things to recognize a righteous son or a righteous daughter?" The tree was a little afraid to take it.

"What is the most important thing to recognize a righteous son and a righteous daughter? That's not what you give to your son and daughter when you recognize it, it's something that you can give your wife to condition her body, how can this official recognize your children so simply? That will weaken my Zhang family's name, have you seen the boat on the dock? At that time, regardless of men and women, send a boat first, and then talk about the rest. ”

Zhang Zhong is going to make enough stance, and let all the people on the mountain know how the state assassin will treat them.

The tree was frightened and trembled, no matter what, the first thing he had was only sent to his own woman, this is the child has not yet been born, waiting for the child to be born and send a boat directly, he has seen the boat, what he saw before fainting, because of the heavy rain, he can still see the boat, but he knows how big the boat is.

If you sell all the people of their clan, you can't get that ship in exchange for it, and you can give it away in a word? Besides, where is he still a child, he is clearly a baby.

Zhang Zhong saw that the tree was too excited, and helped him lie down, and persuaded: "Brother Nashu don't worry, don't worry, you will know in the future, my family is not short of money, and now the money in the entire Luzhou is not as good as my family, my family is in the north of the capital, and I will have the opportunity to take my brothers and clansmen over there to see in the future, and I will really arrive home when I get there."

If you give birth to a daughter, you can learn something here when you are a little older, and if you give birth to a male baby, your people will move down to live, and then I can also shadow the child and let the male baby be an official. ”

"Huh? My lord, if it's a boy, do you want to shade him? So what about your little baby? The tree gasped vigorously, he felt that he couldn't bear the good things that happened again and again, and when he thought of Yinzi, he was worried about the other little treasure.

Zhang Zhong smiled, "This official is a fourth-grade official, and he will be promoted to a higher level in the future, how can he be a son of Yin?" Even if you can only shade one son, then keep it for the righteous son, my son Xiaobao does not need me to shade, if Xiaobao will be a general in the future, when he will be thousands of miles away, if he is a businessman, when he is a blessing to the enemy country, if he is an official...... The corrupt officials of the Tang Dynasty are waiting to be unlucky. ”

Zhang Zhong felt that what he said was the truth, but he only reacted after saying it, and others might not believe it.

The tree had no time to distinguish the real from the fake at this time, not to mention anything else, at least he knew that this new official's family was not ordinary, thinking of this, he said to Zhang Zhong what the two inner courtyard people mentioned.

Zhang Zhong's smile remained unchanged when he heard this, "Brother Nashu, to be honest, I haven't thought about this matter yet, it's the two of them who said it themselves." ”

"Huh? So those things are all ......."

"It's all true, as long as it's what they say, the Zhang family will admit that they didn't have a promise, and that is the promise of the Zhang family, and the tree brothers can rest assured." Zhang Zhong said seriously.

The tree put his hand on his temple and slammed it***, he really couldn't understand what was going on with this big official, what he said, what he did, it was hard to figure out, the first feeling was that he was rich, there was a lot of money, and the second feeling was kindness, not only to mountain people like himself, but also to his subordinates.

A subordinate of the family can actually make a promise on behalf of the main family, and the main family also admits this promise, he doesn't think that such a big official will waste time to trick him into playing, so he can only choose to believe it, and he will know when the time comes.

The other six mountain people saw that this person of not low status in their clan was so excited, and they asked anxiously, and the tree also told the six of them what he had just said to Zhang Zhong.

Waiting for them to finish, Zhang Zhong looked directly at his daughter-in-law, Wang Juan nodded, and gave a positive expression, Zhang Zhong was relieved, and at the same time there was an indescribable pride, the son and daughter-in-law have their own strengths, the two babies are together, and all the difficulties are no longer difficulties.

Wangjuan then looked at the tree and asked, "Uncle, is your surname that?" ”

"Hehe, my surname is my own surname, how can the clan have any surname, there is no name, the child is born, just give a name, what you see is what you see, you look at him, his name is Natu, it is my surname."

Even though the tree was wary of the people outside, it couldn't face Wang Juan's innocent gaze, lovely smile and sweet voice, and answered questions as soon as he asked, pointing to one of the six people and explaining to Wang Juan with a smile.

Wang Juan pretended to look at the person curiously, and then asked, "Uncle, don't you Zhuang people have words?" How can there be no name? ”

"Zhuang? What kind of tribe are the Zhuang? They can't even remember the number of words, and they don't want to go down the mountain because they are too different from the people here, for fear of being deceived. The tree was also puzzled, he had never heard anything about the Zhuang tribe.

This time, Wang Juan was silent and took a step back, because she saw with her spare eyes that Zhang Zhong had the intention of speaking.

Zhang Zhong sighed in his heart at the eyesight of his son and daughter-in-law, and said to the tree: "I have already thought about what Brother Nashu said, and in the future, let people teach the people in various places on the mountains some knowledge, arithmetic and literacy are the easiest things, but the language is not comprehensible, and Brother Nashu should help one or two."

At that time, all the people on the mountain will know how to read and write, and they will not have to worry about being deceived in the future, and it will be convenient to live or trade at the bottom of the mountain. ”

"Really? If someone comes to teach, our people will give the best food and the best house to live in. The tree said happily.

"It's true, but you can't send someone over first, the main reason is that my daughter-in-law is too young, so I have to let the people on the mountain come down, Juanjuan, talk to that uncle."

As soon as Zhang Zhong's voice fell, Wang Juan immediately spoke to the tree in the dialect he had just become a little familiar with.

The tree listened to Wang Juan's words, his eyes widened, as if he saw the most peculiar thing in the world, and then he looked at Zhang Zhong's eyes and looked at it differently from just now, just now it was awe, this time it was fear, he didn't care about the injury on his leg at all, turned over, knelt there, kowtowed to Zhang Zhong and said, "My God, you finally came down to help us." ”
