"Zhen'er? Zhen'er? Let's go back, don't worry, it's just a tael of silver, my mother will go home and get the money in a while, and give it to Uncle Zhang. ”

Xing Shi saw that her daughter's expression was not right, thinking that she remembered those unhappy things in the past, so he hurriedly took her hand and said.

Ye Hao came back to her senses and nodded: "Okay!" ”

A few people turned around and walked a few steps, when they heard Zhang Cunzheng's voice suddenly come from behind them: "Xing Niangzi, you wait." ”

Several people stopped, turned to look at him with puzzled faces.

As Zhang Cunzheng spoke, he had already walked over quickly, his eyes swept around, and he saw that there were still many people around him who had not left at this time.

said to a few people: "Go, I have something I want to ask you, let's go to my house and say!" ”

Although Ye Hao was puzzled in her heart, she still kept up with her mother's footsteps.

The place in the center of Peach Blossom Village is very close to Zhang's house, and after a short while, a few people stepped through the door and walked into the house.

Zhang Cunzheng waved at his eldest daughter-in-law and told her to bring a few bowls of hot tea up, and then sat down on the kang.

looked at Ye Zhengming: "Zhengming, in fact, I am also a little hesitant, I don't know whether to tell you or not, but I think it is better to remind you about this matter." ”

Ye Hao's brows frowned slightly, and the bad premonition that had just dissipated in her heart rose again.

Ye Zhengming didn't think about it so much, and smiled honestly: "Uncle Zhang, I grew up watching you, you just have something to say, don't be like this." ”

When Zhang Cunzheng heard this, the expression on his face became a little more serious: "Then I'll say it directly, think about it, have you offended anyone before?" ”

"Originally, this conscription in our village should not have been........"

He repeated all the words he had heard from the messenger to several people, and finally said, "Uncle Zhang knows that you should not be blamed for this. ”

"Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, we can't accept this conscription if we don't want to, but you must think carefully about who you have offended."

"The messenger has spoken, your family, you must send someone to serve this forced labor, and you will not be allowed to pay any money!"

Ye Zhengming was stunned, he recalled it very seriously, and shook his head blankly: "Uncle Zhang, I... I haven't been out of our village on weekdays, so I don't remember who I offended. ”

Different from her husband's reaction, Xing's face was nervous: "Uncle Zhang, can't this matter really change?" My family can have some more silver, as long as they can be spared this forced labor!" ”

Zhang Cunzheng shook his head and sighed: "No, what the messenger said is clear, others can pay the money and not go, but your family, absolutely not!" ”

After saying this, he asked again: "Think about it again, you really haven't offended anyone?" ”

Xing's brows furrowed, recalling it very seriously, and after a few breaths, she shook her head, although she didn't speak, the meaning was already very clear.

Zhang Cunzheng sighed, remembered something, and hurriedly said to them: "If I remember correctly, doesn't the girl recognize the nobles in the county?" ”

"If you really can't do it, you will go and beg this nobleman, and you can't say that there will be a turnaround?"

"You go back and think about it, the messenger only gave half a month, and after half a month, if he can't see anyone, he should come to our village to get people!"

..............

Coming out of Zhang Cunzheng's house, Ye Hao and the others returned to the new house in silence all the way, and in the stove room, the Wang family had already prepared lunch.

Seeing them, he immediately smiled and said, "I just made the meal, let's eat it now?" ”

Xing Shi smiled reluctantly: "Okay, it's really troublesome for Mrs. Wang." ”

"Hey, look at what you said, my daily work is easy, but I get a lot of money, if it weren't for you, where would I find such a good job?"

Wang didn't notice that the expressions of several people were wrong, and after speaking, he turned around and entered the stove room again.

Xing Shi turned his head and said to the two daughters beside him: "Zhen'er, Xing'er, you go to help serve the dishes, don't cry and lose your face, even if the sky falls, we must eat first." ”

The meal was served, and several people sat together in the main room to eat.

Wang ate a few bites of food, and then he noticed that the atmosphere in the room seemed to be a little wrong?

She looked at Xing, who had no expression on his face, and then at Ye Zhengming, who was silent and didn't say a word.

looked at Ye Hao, who was frowning and thinking about something: "What's wrong with you?" The food I cooked today didn't taste good? Or did Uncle Zhang just say some bad news? ”

She hadn't been to the center of the village just now because she had to cook, and now she remembered it.

Xing was silent for a few breaths, thinking about the relationship between the Wang family and their family, but after a moment's hesitation, he said what he had just heard.

In her mind, with the help of one more person, she might be able to come up with a useful idea.

After listening to Xing's words, Wang suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was no longer fragrant, frowned and thought about it with the others: "Who did you offend?" ”

"If nothing else, let's just say that because of your family, how many people in the village have earned money and made a living? It's too late for the big guy to be happy, how can he have such bad thoughts? ”

"Besides, even if they have that mind, they don't have the ability to instruct the officials in the yamen, and if you want to say who can have a chance, I estimate that there is only ......"

Before Wang finished speaking, Xing and Ye Hao blurted out, "Big brother? ”

"Uncle?"

Ye Hao admitted that she had thought badly before, and she had always been suspicious of the Sun Niangzi in the county government.

Because since she came here, she has a grudge against herself, and her family background is good, and she seems to be the only one who has the ability to do this.

She hadn't suspected her uncle before, because he was just a small official, how could he have the face to instruct the officials in the county government?

How can you convince the county order or the county to levy forced labor?

But now it seems that this thing may not really be done by the eldest uncle, but what is his purpose?

Could it be ...... Is it because of her fat powder recipe?

Although it is not clear how the eldest uncle got in touch with the above, there must be a shadow of him in this matter.

"It must be him!"

Wang said with an affirmative face: "I didn't look at him before.... Ahem, otherwise you guys, who would have come up with such a shady idea? ”

Halfway through her words, she remembered that there was still Ye Zhengming sitting at the table, and the words in her mouth were taken back.

There was a hint of coldness in Xing's eyes: "Whether it's true or not, I think I'll know in a few days, I want to see what he wants to do this time!" ”

If this is really the eldest brother's whole thing, then he will definitely appear in the future....can't wait to appear......

................

Xing didn't guess wrong, at the end of the second day, Ye Zhengde, who had been away from Peach Blossom Village for more than a month, took a carriage and came to the door of the new house.

He didn't even go back to the old mansion, but came here directly.

After getting out of the carriage, he looked at the blue brick house in front of him, and his eyes were full of pride.......
