"Mr. Zheng, do you already know what's going on here?" Zhou Dayong's eyes immediately widened and he asked curiously.

This made Xiao Qiongzhi very puzzled.

Although Zhou Dayong sometimes seems more straightforward, he acts with rough lines, and he has never been a person who likes to get to the bottom of things.

Zheng Yuan made it clear that as long as someone from Zhoujia Village is an official outside, they will never be allowed to return to the village, don't say more, he also asked like this, why?

"Dayong, I just said, it's better not to say too much about this, why are you still asking like this?" The next moment, Zheng Yuan asked Xiao Qiongzhi's heart.

It seems that he, as Zhou Dayong's husband, still knows Zhou Dayong's character very well.

"I am also a member of the Zhou family, my grandfather, and he left Zhoujia Village for the same reasons as Uncle Zhou, so I also want to know what is going on, and I hope that my family, one day, can all go to Zhoujia Village to recognize relatives." Zhou Dayong hurriedly explained.

Zheng Yuan frowned, and after a long time, he told him: "I remember that you once told me about this, and at that time, I told you clearly that the matter is not as simple as your grandfather said, and I want you not to pursue it further." ”

"Now, since you take this matter so seriously and have been kept in the dark, then I will tell you the truth."

"My mother is from Zhoujia Village. Before your grandfather was expelled from Zhoujia Village, she was still Yunying unmarried, and she was very clear about everything that happened back then, and she told me about it as a strange thing. ”

"According to her, your great-grandfather Zhou Qin, long before your grandfather Zhou Zhongyang took the examination for fame and entered Chujing as an official, he was expelled from Zhoujia Village by his family for trespassing on the ancestral land of the clan and violating the clan rules."

"However, when this happened, your grandfather was in Beijing to take the exam, so he should not have known about it. Perhaps, in order to take care of his face, your great-grandfather later came to the saying that it was because your grandfather was an official outside that the family would never be allowed to return to the village again. ”

"Huh? How can this be? Mr. Zheng, is your old lady mistaken? Zhou Dayong was very surprised and couldn't accept such a result at all.

"My mother told me about this when I was a child, and it was only a few years after it happened, so it was impossible to be misremembered." Zheng Bang emphasized with certainty.

Zhou Dayong was suddenly embarrassed to refute again, so he could only hang his head in frustration, and he was distracted by the rice in the bowl for a while.

Xiao Qiongzhi felt that he looked like this, just like an abandoned puppy, strange and pitiful, deliberately grabbed a chopstick and threw it into his bowl.

Then, when he looked over, he comforted him warmly: "Second uncle, don't be sad, you are going to study anyway, get famous, and leave Zhoujia Village, what is the reason for grandpa and grandpa wife, what is the reason for leaving Zhoujia Village, whether you can return to Zhoujia Village, what's the important thing?" ”

Zhou Dayong shook his head and said, "Zhi'er, don't worry about me, I'm not sad, I'm just wondering, since my grandfather and my great-grandfather were both expelled from Zhoujia Village, why do they want to go back to Zhoujia Village so much, and try every possible way to let me and my eldest brother live in Zhoujia Village?" ”

"Dayong, when Zhou Laojiu brought you and your eldest brother to the village, didn't you say that you were expelled from the family by your grandfather because you took your cousins and cousins to play by the lake, and accidentally knocked two of them into the water and died?"

"Why do you now, saying that your grandfather and your great-grandfather want to go back to Zhoujia Village and find ways to let you and your eldest brother live in Zhoujia Village?" When Liu Wuxiu heard this, his eyes widened and he asked puzzledly.

"Because-forget it, it's hard to say, don't talk about it." Zhou Dayong spoke to his lips, waved his hand again, and buried his head in eating.

aroused Liu Wuxiu to be even more curious, and said with great interest: "Dayong, you just tell the truth, if there is anything difficult to say, come and listen!" ”

"Aunt Liu, since my second uncle doesn't want to say more, then forget it, let's eat quickly, you forgot, we have to go to Chu Mansion with Mr. Zheng later, and find the housekeeper of Chu Mansion to compensate for medical expenses and wolf meat money!" Xiao Qiongzhi was also very curious, but she still did not hesitate to help Zhou Dayong speak.

After all, about Zhou Dayong's grandfather and great-grandfather, if she wants to go back to Zhoujia Village and find a way, she wants to let him and Zhou Dazhi live in Zhoujia Village, it is her family's family matter, whether it is Liu Wuxiu, Xu Nian and Zheng Yuan who are listening, they are all outsiders, and there is no need to know.

"Well, I've forgotten about it." Liu Wuxiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to bury his head in eating.

Not to mention wolf meat, the healing cost of one hundred taels of silver alone is a large amount, and she has never received so much money in her life.

After a while, a guy brought over a plate of braised steak, a plate of pine nut fish, and a plate of jade corn.

Xu Nian pointed to them and told Xiao Qiongzhi, Zheng Bang, Liu Wuxiu, and Zhou Dayong: "These are the signature dishes of the rich family, you can taste them and see how they taste." ”

"Okay." Xiao Qiongzhi only eats these dishes in the world in his memory, but here, he hasn't eaten yet!

She immediately stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the pine nut in it.

Because, in the world in her memory, this dish is one of her favorite dishes.

Liu Wuxiu looked at it, learned from it, and also went to eat pine nut fish.

"It's delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious dish!" After tasting the taste, Liu Wuxiu immediately praised it from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Qiongzhi was also going to praise the pine nut fish for being delicious, but seeing that she liked it so much, she changed her mind.

She deliberately stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the jade corn, and said while eating: "I prefer to eat this, or is this more delicious!" ”

"Isn't that corn, what's so delicious? Zhi'er, you're growing your body, so you need to eat fish, meat, and whatever! Liu Wuxiu was not happy, so she hurriedly stopped her, sandwiched another pine nut and steak, and stuffed it into her bowl.

"Enough! That's enough! Aunt Liu, don't clip it anymore, if you clip it again, the others won't have to eat. Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't bear her intentions, so she had to smile a little awkwardly and accept it obediently.

Secretly, she has a headache: since Xu Nian claimed to be half of Zhoujia Village, Liu Wuxiu really regarded him as a family, and his words and deeds at the banquet were quite self-indulgent, too sincere!

"It's okay, it's okay, I've eaten these dishes too many times, if you like to eat them, don't be polite, it's best to eat them all, otherwise, the rest will be wasted." Xu Nian looked funny, smiling and reminding on the side.

This is a great encouragement to Liu Wuxiu, and the next moment, she grabbed a chopstick pine nut fish and gave it to Xu Nian: "Aunt Xu, this fish is really delicious, even if you eat it too many times, you must still like to eat it, try it again!" ”
