(504) There is news

A few years ago, the Zhang family chose an auspicious day for the zodiac and moved to a new house.

The house where he originally lived in the alley was given a dowry to Zhang Xiaodie in accordance with his previous promise. Since the place was given to her, Zhang Facai thought that if he opened a study shop there again, he would inevitably have to deal with the people of the Li family all day long. This is far away, close is suspicious, although the study shop makes money, but the income is not particularly much. If the two families are mixed together all day long, it will inevitably cause contradictions, which will make it difficult for the girl to be a person.

So the simple and generous house, along with the study shop, was all given to Zhang Xiaodie, and she tossed it by herself. I went home to care for the elderly with peace of mind, and I went to make my grandson go. On the contrary, Li Hongwen was very embarrassed, and he excused himself several times.

In the end, it was Zhao Chengcai who solved the problem for him, "If you are embarrassed, just treat it as if you are working for your father-in-law and making money in the future, and then give it to him, won't it be over?" ”

Li Hongwen felt reasonable, so he reluctantly agreed.

Zhang Qingting agreed with his father's approach, afraid that they would be bored, and asked if he wanted to open a study shop at the intersection of his new home.

Zhang Facai waved his hand and refused, "Let's have a good home, if we start business again, it will still be troublesome." Besides, now that the house is bigger, not to mention the vegetable patch in the backyard and the chickens and ducks raised, just the flowers and plants in the garden and the cleaning of the room are enough to be busy, how can there be air traffic control? Your mother and I are getting old, so let's wait for you young people to do all those things. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhang Qingting didn't care, but he was angry, "I said a long time ago, I will invite more people back when I move, but you don't agree, and you suffer from this in vain."

"Tired?" Zhang Luoshi also came over with his children to object, "We have Xiaoqing Xiaoyu in our family now, and Baozhu Jixiang can come back from time to time to help, which is almost enough." Besides, your brothers haven't got a family yet, and they don't have a yard to live in, and the houses are empty, so they don't need to be cleaned. If you want to invite someone, it's better to wait until you're older in the future. What are you doing with this unjust money in vain? If you really can't get by, why don't you just pay me and your father some wages, isn't it better than hiring outsiders? ”

Everyone laughed when they said this, and Zhang Facai teased his wife, "You have a money eye with the children, how can you still beg for money?" I'm not afraid of people listening to jokes. ”

"Mother's words are very deserved" Zhang Qingting smiled and agreed, and really gave them one or two silver pocket money every month, and used it as the old man was happy.

I still took the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to invite two nearby peasant women to come back to help, and I didn't need them to stay, I only came once a day in the afternoon to help clean up.

Zhao Hanlin's Mansion over there has also been built, but it still has to be dried for a while, and it will not be moved until after the year. Unlike the Zhang family, which consists of six sets of small yards to form a large mansion, this is a real mansion. Originally, according to his official rank, Zhao Chengcai could afford to live in such a house.

The house is divided into three entrances, not to mention the front, but the backyard is in the southern style, and the exquisite and elegant pavilions and pavilions form a garden residence.

Zhao Wang's family came and praised it again and again, such a beautiful house, she couldn't even dream of it, and it was a shame that the daughter-in-law would think about it

But Zhang Qingting is actually not too satisfied, because of the drought in the north, she can't dig Erdaozi ditch to lead her home to get a small bridge or something, and because the weather is too cold, many buildings that want to be built are because the cost is too high, and it is not very practical and can't bear to cut love.

But Zhao Wang's family is already very satisfied, and the residence of their old couple has a good name, called Chunxuantang. This house, in the position of the sun, is the warmest. And with the living habits of the elderly, make it spacious and comfortable, although Zhang Qingting their residence is a little far away, but there is a verandah to connect, all the way, no matter the wind and rain and snow, will not get wet at all, extremely convenient.

To be honest, Zhao Wang's family didn't want to live too close to Zhang Qingting, so she also agreed with this arrangement.

But when it comes to the most beautiful house in this house, it is still the courtyard where Zhang Qingting lives. There's no way, everyone is going to get married, so it can't help but make people a little selfish, right? There are many words without mistakes, not to mention, this is also the main house of a family, and there is a Hanlin Lord living there, so it should be a little stylish.

Zhang Qingting has been to the new house many times to inspect it, from a table and a stool to a bed and a quilt, all of which are arranged according to her own preferences.

Zhao Chengcai gave her full authority and had no opinions. Originally, she complained that Zhao Chengcai didn't worry about it, but she really waited for Zhao Chengcai to do all her best to get it, and she couldn't see it, what was it useless.

So Zhao Chengcai laughed, "You say you, it's really hard to serve, I said that I can still help when building a house, but how can I help at this time?" I helped you and I don't like it, it's still vulgar, it's better to do it yourself, anyway, in the future, it will be where we will live by ourselves, you can do whatever you want according to your own mind, wouldn't it be better? ”

Zhang Qingting rolled his eyes widely, and he didn't worry about it

"Who called me a countryman, a bun," Zhao Chengcai was not embarrassed at all when he said this.

Zhang Qingting didn't bother to ask him anymore, it was all up to his own heart. At this time, a large number of things brought back from the capital came in handy, decorating the entire new house with flowers and brilliance, which was completely the new house of her dreams.

Every time Zhao Wang came in, he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet, and he had to take off his shoes before he dared to step on the carpet that was as soft as a cloud. Sometimes Zhao Laoshi wanted to reach out and touch those strange things, but he pulled his wife, "Look at your dirty hands, don't break them"

However, Zhang Qingting generously invited them to sit and told them that these things were all there. Of course, in the end, Zhang Qingting would also tell them in the same way, no matter whether she bought these valuable things or not, they would say that they were given by the princess and others.

Zhao Wangshi was stunned when he heard it, "No wonder it's so good, it turned out that it was all given by those nobles." ”

"Not only these, but even the jade Ruyi in your room."

Zhao Wangshi was horrified when he heard it, "That thing too?" It's worth a lot of money, why didn't you say it earlier? I'll go back and put it away, don't break it."

"Mother-in-law" Zhang Qingting pulled her back, "We live in such a good house now, how can we be decent if we don't deserve some good things?" Don't accept it, just put it there, it's also an auspicious meaning. ”

Zhao Wang's family gave up at this time, and Zhang Qingting was about to tell her about the New Year's wine and treat, but saw that the baozhu who followed Zhao Chengcai ran back sweating profusely.

Zhao Wang's family shouted from afar, "You haven't taken off your shoes, you are not allowed to enter the house"

Baozhu didn't want to come in, and stopped at the threshold and said urgently, "Go to the yamen, the second master has news."

？ Now the whole family rushed out, "Really? ”

"Really the last few times when our family held a wedding wine, didn't they all distribute the second master's drawings and graphics to the guests? Now one of them said that he had seen it in a trance, and now the master is leading people to talk in the yamen, and sent me to you. I ran home first, and when I went to the racecourse, I didn't see anyone, so I found it all the way."

Ignoring the nonsense in the back, Zhang Qingting hurriedly came out with his in-laws and hurried to the county office.

There are really a lot of people who came, and this news was provided by a merchant friend of the He family.

When he was doing wine a few days ago, he looked at Zhao Chengdong's image and felt that there were five or six points of imagery, but he didn't dare to confirm it or say nonsense. But when it was time to leave, he couldn't help but think about it, He Yutang said, and He Yutang immediately notified Zhao Chengcai.

Zhao Chengcai thought about it, it was better to come to Lord Yan. They have experience in handling cases and can help with investigations. Li Hongwen got the news in the academy with Zhao Chengcai, and he was also very enthusiastic to put down the things at hand and come over to see if he could help.

Zhao Wang took the man's hand, tears of excitement blooming in his eyes, "Tell me quickly, what is the situation?" ”

The man told her truthfully that in the spring of last year, he went to a place to do business, because a young man next to him suddenly fell ill, so he wanted to buy someone to replace him, and at that time he met a group of people who were selling him a young man, as if it was Zhao Chengdong.

But the strange thing is that although Zhao Chengdong has a deed of sale on the body of that group, he has been watching him cry, and when he is about to come forward to ask, Zhao Chengdong can't say it.

Those people said that Zhao Chengdong was a mute, but this person always felt that something was not right, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but the gang refused to do business with him. It happened that another merchant passed by, and he bought Zhao Chengdong without asking.

When you go out, no one knows the background of others, and you don't dare to meddle in things. But Zhao Chengdong struggled desperately before leaving, and turned his head to look at him and cried, but this person was very sad and very impressed.

"I'm not sure it had to be him, but when he was taken away, he fell out of an empty purse in the middle of his struggle. I felt bad at the time, so I picked it up and never threw it away. A few days ago, when I saw his paintings here, I always felt that they were somewhat similar, so I sent my little servant home and took the purse. ”

He took out a blackened purse from his sleeve, and everyone didn't recognize it.

Zhang Qingting only saw the peach blossoms faintly appearing on it, and suddenly remembered something, "I remember that Yang Xiaotao once made a purse in the past, and I gave it to Chengdong, will this one?" ”

Zhao Chengcai hurriedly said, "I'll go back and pick her up to recognize it, if it's something that has become a building, she should be able to recognize it." ”

Zhao Wangshi had already cried to the ground, "Chengdong is fine, why can't he speak?" ”

Yan Huizu told her, "That's nothing more than three situations, one is that his tongue was cut, the second is that he forcibly poured dumb medicine into someone, and the third is that he swallowed charcoal." However, tongue cutting and swallowing charcoal can easily lead to death, and in this case, I estimate that it is more likely to be dosing. ”

This is also too cruel, everyone can't listen to it anymore, and Zhao Wang's family is even more heartbreaking.

Zhang Qingting persuaded his mother-in-law, "Don't cry yet, isn't it the same thing, even if it is, as long as the person is still there, we can always save it." ”

It didn't take long, and Zhao Chengcai came with Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao took the purse and looked at it, her face turned white immediately, and then turned the purse over, and confirmed it even more, "This is what I did, you see, I also embroidered a peach here." ”

When Zhao Wang heard this, he fainted at that time.

Hurriedly pinched the person to wake her up, Zhao Wang took the man's hand and knelt down, "Good Samaritan, tell me quickly, what did my son sell to the place?" ”

The man's face was embarrassed, and he was a little embarrassed.
