The old lady of the Sun family died, and because she lost seventeen geese, she fell ill and never got up.

The old lady was supposed to stop for three days to go out for the funeral, but the old grandson's family said that his family had grievances, so they stopped for seven days.

On the seventh day, the old grandson's family carried the coffin out and buried them all the way to the foot of the North Mountain.

When he came back, the family patted on the door of Su Zhi's house and cried and scolded, insisting on getting back his family's 170 geese.

And in this team of linen and filial piety, there is also the Zhang family who stole his goose.

The government came, and after the investigation, the old Zhang family and the old Sun family merged, and pointed to Su Zhi's family together, saying that the goose was eaten by his family.

The two families testified to each other, and as a result, the prince's family, who had not eaten a bite of goose meat in winter, lost 170 geese from Lao Sun's family.

On the day of the compensation, Su Zhi stood on the wall of his house, looked at the people wearing linen and filial piety below, and the group of villagers who came to see the excitement, and said: "Today, all the people present know that the goose is not eaten by my family, and the goose loser and the goose thief are tied together to accuse my family, but it is because of the 170 geese that Young Master Jiang once promised. The human heart is not ancient, and the conscience is extinguished, but because of a greedy thought, I will not say more, I am willing to compensate his goose, just because of a word, the gentleman is a word, and he has fulfilled his promise. ”

When Lao Sun's family drove away the 170 geese, the whole village looked at them coldly.

This kind of coldness may temporarily have some sympathy for the injustice suffered by the prince's family, but if the matter is on their heads, they may all want to drive the 170 geese home!

Yue'er got angry and sat on the kang and threw a cloth tiger over and over.

Su Tong persuaded: "I can't be angry about this matter, there are not many geese in one hundred and seventy, and it is worth buying a reputation for my incompetence." ”

Jiang Ziheng hung his head and stood aside, he was a little annoyed: "I was stupid and let the prince suffer." ”

Su Tong chuckled: "You need to reflect on this matter, it is my business to use it for me, and it is your fault that you are not doing well." When dealing with the people in the village, you can't count as gentlemen and villains, this is something you haven't come into contact with, and they are not those tenants on your Jiang family's Zhuangzi. Those people respect you as the Lord, and they are careful everywhere, but people here will not, and I, the head of the family, am just a prisoner. In this way, the situation is important, and so is the people. ”

Jiang Ziheng said sincerely for the first time: "The prince is wise, he still needs to be trained, and he was too conceited in the past." ”

Su Tong nodded, and waved him out.

Yue'er was angry, but when it got to this point, she was angry that the one hundred and seventy geese couldn't come back, so she didn't think about it.

There were only the two of them left in the house, so she discussed with Su Zhi: "I don't need so many girls around me, these four cui plus a wax moon are simply a waste." Why don't you arrange for those four emeralds to go to two other places, and I'll just keep two here. ”

Su Zhi sat cross-legged opposite her and said, "These four are not only serving you, they have all practiced martial arts since childhood, stay by your side, there is no shortage of people elsewhere." ”

"The day before Layue, he told me that Aunt Wang asked if there was any work here, Wang Laoqi is fifteen years old this year, and he set a family business and said that he would pass through the door when he sold grain in winter next year. There are many sons in the family, and the seventh child is looking for ways to work and save some money by himself, which can also reduce the burden on his parents. ”

Listening to Yue'er's words, Su Zhi thought for a moment which of the Wang family was the seventh, but there were too many children in that family, and he really couldn't think of it for a while, so he said: "Don't do it first, I'll find an excuse to go to Uncle Wang's house and see the people." ”

"I thought so, so I didn't dare to respond. Although this family can work here, the nine sons of the dragon are still different, who dares to guarantee it. ”

Grateful for Brother Wang's kindness from beginning to end, Su Zhi got up early the next day and took Qinghu to his house after breakfast.

I caught a few rabbits and brought some polished rice with me. The chickens raised in the greenhouse lay eggs all year round, and they carried a basket of eggs.

Take a jar of wine at home, and Jiang Ziheng asked the peanuts transported from Shandong to fill it with more.

knew that Uncle Wang would keep him for dinner, so it could be regarded as having prepared wine and food.

The two sat on the kang in the east house and drank, and Aunt Wang instructed several daughters-in-law to cook, and the women no longer entered the house when the wine and food were served.

Uncle Wang likes to talk about this big Beishan, and he will never leave his mouth when he picks up the wine glass. Su Zhi also likes to listen, and the two of them talk about the products in the mountains.

As he was talking about the excitement, the door of the east room was pushed open with a squeak, and a thin and white teenager came in with a plate of dried barbecue.

After putting it on the table, he stepped back and stood aside and waited, Uncle Wang waved his hand: "Seventh, go read your books, let your sisters-in-law do these jobs." ”

This is Wang Laoqi, Su Zhi glanced up as if unintentionally, and saw that the young man happened to be looking at him as well.

The young man's gaze was very light, and his face was also pale without joy or sorrow.

He nodded, answered softly, and withdrew. When he pushed the door, Su Zhi deliberately looked at his hand, but Uncle Wang didn't care, and pushed the barbecue jerky in front of Su Tong: "You taste it, this is made by your aunt." The salted and dried meat is roasted on a charcoal fire, and there is a bite on the head, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is. ”

Su Tong stretched out his hand and grabbed one and bit it, frequently praised and asked about the method.

When Uncle Wang's face turned red and his voice became louder and louder, Su Zhi asked, "What about the seventh child?" ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Wang is very proud: "Our old Wang family has been hunting in the mountains for generations, and there is such a scholar as Lao Qi." When he was a child, he wanted to study and didn't learn anything from me to hunt. ”

Uncle Wang really attaches great importance to this old seventh, and can be said to be the most educated person in their family.

All the units in the family are counting on him to get ahead, and he doesn't have to do the work, and no one cares about spending money.

Even if you eat something good at home, you have to treat him, saying that you have to make up for your body and brain.

Su Tong didn't mention Lao Qi when he left, and when he walked out a long way, Qinghu looked back and said, "Then Wang Lao Qi has been standing at the entrance of the village, it seems that he really wants to come to our house." ”

Su Tong understood that this young man could not find a way out, and he may have seen hope in him, so he thought about it with all his heart.

He hesitated, it had nothing to do with how the seven people of Wang Lao were there. The rest of the Wang family is just working here, and Wang Laoqi is a scholar, believe it or not, he won't mention it for the time being, if Su Tong has a mistake in the future, Lao Qi, who pinned the hopes of the Wang family, may be affected.

From the moment the Wang family walked into the door of his Su Zhi's house, it was certain that this young man would never go back.

Su Zhi was destined to be a point of no return in this life from birth, and those who followed him have embarked on a road of no return since they came to him.

He couldn't choose his background, but others could.

After arriving home, Yue'er asked him how Wang Laoqi was, Su Zhi was still drunk, so he lay down on the kang and said a few words vaguely.

When Yue'er heard that the young man was reading, she also thought a lot.
