Ma Wentao followed behind Xie Hong, thinking in his heart that he had done a beautiful job of reporting the news today. Look at the cheers along the way, he walked with his chest up and his head up, although he was also very majestic when he was a helper for the Chen family, but the eyes of the neighbors were disdainful, although the cheers now are all towards Xie Hong and Erniu, but he also has glory and Yan, and we are also heroes.

The central character Xie Hong was a little uncomfortable, he felt that he didn't do anything, and it wasn't that he was brave and brave, but that scourge had found him, otherwise he might not have taken the risk to confront this kind of local snake. The head snake is very troublesome, the relationship is complicated, he can't die at once, he doesn't necessarily bite back when he wants, he is fine, but what about his mother and Qing'er?

The surname Chen can go crazy once, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not send it a second time, even if he is ruthlessly killed, it is difficult to ensure that the Chen family will not retaliate, and if you want to do it once and for all, you have to uproot the Chen family. But he is a craftsman, and he doesn't know how to start this kind of desperate thing, the more Xie Hong thinks about it, the more headache he has, until he walks to Ping'an Fang and Ma Wentao calls him.

"Master Xie, I'll go back first, and you can greet me if you have something." Ma Wentao said goodbye.

"Brother Ma, you and I are old acquaintances, and we will still be brothers in the future, today you came to report the news, which shows the hospitality, do you think that the younger brother is a person who forgets the old love when he is rich?" The two families have been friends for a long time, and through today's incident, Xie Hong also feels that Ma Wentao can be friends, and he doesn't like him to call him an adult.

"Then I'm not pretentious, thank you...... Brother, I'll inquire about my aunt's affairs. Ma Wentao's heart is also hot.

"Brother Ma, you don't have to worry about the affairs in the yamen, you can just follow the head of the Fu team from tomorrow onwards." Since he is his own person, he can't let him suffer, Xie Hong's point of view is very clear.

"Brother Xie, I ......" Ma Wentao was very excited, he had been looking forward to the position of a servant for a long time, and he mainly wanted to have an identity as a helper, and the little official was also an identity. The long-awaited thing suddenly arrived, and he was speechless for a while.

Looking at his appearance, Xie Hong understood very well, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Call the second aunt in the evening, let's come to the house for dinner together, today I asked Qing'er to go shopping, and Erniu is also back, let's have a good meal." ”

"In the future, Brother Xie will have a life, and my old horse will do it with all his might."

"It's all brothers, needless to say, it's so serious."

As he spoke, he turned the corner, and Xie Hong suddenly found that there was a circle of people in front of his house, and something happened again? He was so surprised that he hurriedly pulled his legs and ran over, and Ma and Zhang were both headed by him, and they also followed closely.

When Xie Hong pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, he found that a carriage was parked at the door, and several men in short clothes were moving things down. After a false alarm, Xie Hong took a long breath, and then became puzzled, these people are a little familiar, and what are they moving? Could it be that Qing'er went to the big purchase?

When she entered the house, Qing'er jumped up and down, her voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, and she said in a series of words: "Brother Hong, your friend has sent a lot of things, and I can't put them in the house." ”

Xie Hong looked around, didn't he, there were a lot of piles in the yard, cloth, household goods, and even pots and pans. He was a little confused and asked rhetorically, "Friend, what friend?" ”

"Lord Xie, my lord asked the little ones to come to the house to see what they need, and the adults haven't come back yet, so the villains have made their own decisions, please forgive me." Xie Hong saw a fat man in a silk robe come out of his room, it was the housekeeper of Dongjiazhuang, this person had a humble face, and his tone was even more respectful.

"Is it Brother Dong?"

"Exactly, my lord's orders are more urgent, and the villain is also anxious, it is inevitable that there are some inconsiderate places, please forgive me." The two sentences said forgiveness twice, compared to his arrogance at the yamen, it is really incompatible. Xie Hong has nothing to be angry about, people are giving gifts and losing their smiling faces, besides, this purchase is more than he did yesterday.

He pointed to his mother's room and asked Qing'er, "Qing'er, my mother wasn't scared, was she?" ”

"Don't worry, adults, the little ones will never dare to disturb the old lady." Before Qing'er could speak, Steward Dong hurriedly replied, the little girl was very dissatisfied and made a grimace at this fat man.

"I took Brother Dong's wishes, but this thing is still ......" Xie Hong felt that he was a little embarrassed to let the family give such a big gift just by mentioning two sentences, he didn't regard the things he taught to the owner of Dong Zhuang as a favor at all. What's more, he still has selfish intentions, looking forward to Dong Zhuang making higher-quality fine iron, so that he can buy it as a material.

"Lord Xie, my lord has explained in advance, if the villain can't do this errand, then he will have to serve the family law when he goes back, and my lord should not embarrass us subordinates." Before Xie Hong could say his refusal, Steward Dong interrupted, and he said pitifully:

"My lord said, I don't dare to thank you for the great grace of the arts, there will be a retribution, today these are just for the old lady and ...... Miss, adults should take it. ”

Oh my God, and the aftermath? Xie Hong felt really dizzy, if he had known about this, his brother would have come to the door, and the previous few months were miserable. To say, the people of this era are really clear in grievances, and they are incredibly good when they get better, and the bad people are even worse.

Seeing the fat man's pitiful expression, knowing that he was pretending, Xie Hong couldn't say anything, so he had to say helplessly: "Then Steward Dong will thank Brother Dong on my behalf, and I'll accept the things first." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Steward Dong smiled on his face, and said: "Lord Xie, my lord is in a hurry to go back to build the refining furnace mentioned by the adult, and he has no time to meet the old lady for a while. ”

Xie Hong shook his head, this Brother Dong is really, as long as there are no technical problems involved, he is a very shrewd person, he does everything and does not leak, but when it comes to ironmaking, he immediately changes into a person.

"Definitely, definitely." Others were too polite and not easy to deal with, Xie Hong hurriedly agreed, and Steward Dong said goodbye and left.

Xie Hong sent the Dong family and his party out of the door, and he wanted to explain to the neighbors gathered at the door, but before he could speak, outside the crowd, I don't know who suddenly shouted: "The people of the Chen family are here!" ”

This sound is not small, I saw a large group of people at the door move when they heard the sound, and suddenly they scattered birds and beasts, which was called a fast. Seeing Xie Hong's stunned, he thought of the small traders who were chased by the city management in later generations. Everyone ran back to their homes and closed the door, and then there was the sound of 'clang' and 'clang' latches under the door.

Scared the neighbors like this, this is a devil entering the village? The Chen family is really majestic!

Xie Hong looked up, and sure enough, a group of people came from a distance, walking very slowly, and the first two people were holding a fat man, it was Chen Dianshi. But the center of this group of people is a lean old man, after listening to the introduction of the Chen family by others, Xie Hong guessed that this old man was probably the head of the Chen family and the father of Chen Dianshi.

Is it here for revenge? Xie Hong groaned.
