A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and there are still a few days to go before the New Year.

A carriage suddenly came to the door of Lao Zhang's house, and there were actually officers and soldiers from the yamen following, and it seemed that the formation was really not small.

Such a big pomp naturally attracted the attention of the villagers, and they all crowded to the door of Lao Zhang's house to watch the excitement. The aunt next door saw the seventh child of the Zhang family getting down from the sedan chair, and hurriedly went to report a letter to Zhang Xiaoyan and them.

Yo!

The seventh child of the Zhang family actually came back at this time, and he still made such a big show?

"Thank you, auntie, my eldest brother has passed the list this year, and now he is also an official in the court. It's just that things are relatively busy in the DPRK and China, so I won't come back for the New Year. Zhang Xiaoyan said casually, she knew that this aunt had a good relationship in the village, and it was definitely better to spread the matter through the aunt's mouth than to show off her power.

The aunt's eyes lit up, and she congratulated again and again: "Congratulations to you, that ...... Then I'll go back first. ”

"Wait, Yan Niang go get a few dried fish and come back, this is just made, you take it back and try it." Zhang Xiaoyan said and sent her aunt to the gate.

At this time, Yan Niang also brought dried fish from the kitchen and delivered the dried fish to her aunt. The aunt was flattered, and hurriedly went back after thanking her again and again.

After the aunt left, she went home first, and then squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement, and told the villagers about Zhang Shiyan's flower exploration.

Hearing the news, the villagers who were still watching the excitement also dispersed, and Xue, who was originally complacent, saw that the crowd had dispersed, and grabbed an aunt with some puzzlement and asked, "Why are you leaving, see my son come back, and bring me a lot of delicious food." ”

"Can you give us a little bit then?" The aunt came directly.

These words directly made the Xue family let go of her hand, she was not so generous, besides, these are all sons who are filial to her, why should they give these untouchables?

Hum!

She is now an old lady of the official family, and when she thought about it in her heart, she glanced at her aunt with contempt: "You think beautifully, and you have the ability to let your son also take the top prize." ”

Hearing this, the aunt's face immediately darkened, and she said very unceremoniously: "What a champion, your sixth child is also admitted to Tanhua, and he is not as good as Zhang Shiyan, the son of the third child, who is a role model, and his identity is one level higher than your sixth child." Besides, it's still the seventh man who is famous in the mountains, I don't know what you're doing? ”

"You!" Xue's face immediately stiffened.

The aunt's voice was not small, and the villagers present heard it in their ears, and the officials who came back with them also heard it very clearly.

"It turned out to be just a flower exploration!"

"Yo, this old seven is still famous in the mountains!"

"I thought it was so powerful, it's stingy, what else do you do with this virtue, it's disgusting to the extreme."

"Bah, it's gone, there's nothing to see!"

As they spoke, the villagers left one after another, and the officials who were originally responsible for driving the carriage all bowed their hands to the old seven of the Zhang family, and drove the carriage away under the pretext of going back to resume their lives.

The seventh child of the Zhang family was embarrassed, and originally wanted to invite the official to have a meal at home, but now it is clear that the people are disgusted and leave.

Now when I heard the disgusted eyes of the villagers, my face was white and blue, green and black, and I couldn't stand that kind of eyes, so I quickly flashed into the yard.

Xue Shi came back to his senses with an embarrassed face, spat at those villagers and scolded unceremoniously: "A group of poor ghosts, get out of here, don't dirty the door of our old Zhang family." ”

The villagers were not happy when they heard this, and the aunt who went to Zhang Xiaoyan's house scolded: "Don't dirty our village, the old Zhang family doesn't have a good thing." Isn't your sixth child in high school now? Why don't you go to Yucheng to enjoy the happiness, I think he also dislikes you as a useless mother! ”

"You!" Xue's eyes widened angrily, and he turned around to find Lao Qi, and found that Lao Qi had already hid in the courtyard, and hurriedly entered the courtyard to close the courtyard door.

After hearing that the villagers outside were gone, she exhaled her breath depressedly, and scolded in her mouth: "A group of dirt buns who have never seen the world will let you fools die of jealousy one day sooner or later!" ”

After speaking, he looked up and saw Lao Qi sitting on the chair with an angry face, and he could see that he was so angry that he almost fainted. Thinking of the words of those villagers, I felt guilty in my heart.

However, it's useless, who let him not get in, although he is also working under Prince Gong now, he doesn't have half a title, even if he does more, it won't help.

No way!

can't always grow up under the wings of the sixth brother, he must let Prince Gong see his ability, as long as Prince Gong is the backing, it shouldn't be a problem to ask for an official position.

"Old Seven, you said that you also spent so much silver, why didn't you get in? Ay...... The mouths of those untouchables are broken, and the hearts of the mothers who hear those words hurt! The Xue family also complained for a while, thinking that the evil seed of the third family actually did better than the sixth child, and the grievance in his heart was no less than that of the seventh child.

Hearing his mother's complaint, the seventh child of the Zhang family felt like his chest was blocked, and he was about to breathe in pain, and just about to say something, the second child of the Zhang family came out of the kitchen.

"Mother, Lao Qi finally came back once, why are you talking so much. Anyway, he is also working in Yucheng now, it's better than being a teacher in the county, Lao Qi, come, try the dishes made by the second brother, by the way, I also went to get you a pot of good wine just now, come, let's have a few glasses. The second child of the Zhang family hurriedly came over to make a round, lest the mother make the seventh child angry and leave, and then he was as lazy to pay attention to them as before.

The seventh brother of the Zhang family glanced at the second brother, and now the second brother looks like a waste, and he doesn't take the second brother in his eyes at all.

"Mother, you also dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger. To put it bluntly, it was Zhang Xiaoyan who made us so sad, and we will clean them up when we have the ability in the future. The second child of the Zhang family saw the seventh child's eyes looking at him, and comforted his mother flatteringly.

"Yes, it's Zhang Xiaoyan's miscellaneous, if it weren't for her Zhang Shiyan, how could she have such an opportunity. Seventh, when you and Sixth really have the ability, you must destroy that miscellaneous. Xue Shi thought of the past few years, and the anger in his heart did not come to a place.

These words undoubtedly aroused the anger in the heart of the seventh member of the Zhang family again, and he clenched his fists tightly, and his half-squinted eyes were full of hatred.

"Old Seven, let's go eat first, let's talk about the rest!" The second child of the Zhang family cheekily came to call again.

The seventh elder of the Zhang family glanced at him with disgust, got up and flicked his sleeves and went to the back yard. Xue leaned into the crack in the door and glanced out, making sure that the villagers had left, so he went to the backyard with confidence.
