Chapter 413: The Late Messenger

Zhang Huai also understood at this time, and when he was angry, he waved his hand not to ask his father to speak, and asked in a deep voice, "What is going on?" We can only make up our minds when we talk about it in detail. Recently, because of the increasing rumors, my father and I are very uneasy, and we are about to invite Zhao Xiucai and Liu Xiucai's family to visit Huzhou Mansion to inquire about it. ”

The two errand soldiers came down: I thought that the countrymen would be able to get through this matter by kowtowing a few more heads, but who knew that this Zhang Xiucai's eldest brother was not easy to fool, so it seemed that he could only explain honestly, and then beg Master Zhang for forgiveness - he seemed to be easier to talk to.

The two of them talked about the reason, and they couldn't help but want to cover up some places, and they couldn't stand the side attack of Huaizi and Chrysanthemum, so they had to explain it all in one go.

It turned out that although Zhang Yang and the others were in a hurry, they each wrote letters on the spot, asking Ding Xuezheng to find two entourages and send them back to Qingnan Village, so as not to worry about their fathers and mothers.

Who knew that these two minions, although they didn't dare to underestimate Zhang Yang and the others, they didn't take this trip seriously, they felt that they were just going to the countryside to deliver letters, and it was okay to send them one day earlier or one day later, as long as they were delivered. So, when I met an old friend on the road, I didn't hold it for a while, drank a few more glasses, and delayed it all night; The next day the friend forced them to stay for another day, so the letter was delivered late.

Huaizi wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the two, thinking, now that this letter has been delayed, and the rumors have spread, if you don't forgive, it won't help if you don't say it, and you will offend people in vain. You must know that although these people are subordinates, as the saying goes, "Hades is good, but the little ghosts are difficult", maybe they will be used one day.

So, he chuckled and said, "Hurry up, two big brothers, who doesn't have any relatives and friends." It's delayed for a while, and we can't hold on to it. But. I can't let the Scholar know about this. Otherwise, punishing you for not doing things well is secondary, if the adults think that the two big brothers are hiding outside to eat and drink, it will be a mistake. That's a problem. ”

When the two officers heard this, they were so frightened that their souls were not possessed—didn't they delay their errands by eating wine and prostitution? I thought I had been fooled just now, but who knew that people were clear in their hearts.

At this point, the two of them no longer dared to underestimate this farmer. Kowtow vigorously to seek superlife.

Only then did Huaizi let them get up. Then he and Chrysanthemum read Yang Zi's letter, and sure enough, the three of them went to the capital.

In the letter, Zhang Yang said hello to Zhang Dazhuan and He Shi, so that the family should not worry, and said that they would see each other again for five years at most and three years at the least; and told Zhang Huai. There is no need to talk about it in a foreign language, and in the future, they will regularly ask someone to bring back a letter.

Huaizi let Zhang Dazhuan He into the room. He explained the contents of the epistle to them.

The old couple touched the letter, and their eyes turned red - this time, haven't they not seen each other for several years?

Chrysanthemum took He's hand and persuaded: "Mother, this is a glory that others can't ask for." Not everyone can go in to study, it is very difficult to choose, and some of the selected people will be named as too many students, and they will not really go to study. ”

He wiped his tears with the back of his hand and asked, "Really?" How do you know? ”

Chrysanthemum smiled: "I read what the book says." For example, the county school in Qinghui County is bigger than the school in our Qingnan Village, the school in Huzhou is more powerful than the county school, and the Guozijian is a more powerful school than the school in Qingnan Village. ”

In order to coax He, she compared the past so step by step, and said that He's eyes lit up, and finally smiled and held the letter and looked at it repeatedly, unaware that she had taken down the letter paper.

After some reassurance, the family went out again to inquire about the two officers on that day. This time, the two were very happy and eagerly told the Zhang family in detail about Zhang Yang and their pick-up.

According to the two of them, the people who came with a team of guards went directly to the Ding Mansion to ask to see the Xuezheng Lord, and then went to the Mansion to pick up Zhang Xiucai and the other three, and after they made a little preparation, they wrote a letter to them and handed them to the two of them before they set off for the capital, and even the governor did not receive them.

"The little one is one step ahead of Zhang Xiucai, but when the little one and the two set off, those guards were already ready to go. Zhang Xiucai asked him to say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, and asked him not to remember him. ”

The two of them recalled the incident a few days ago, and suddenly wanted to slap themselves in the mouth, secretly scolding themselves for being blind, not to mention that as a subordinate, it is their duty to do a good job, just said that this Zhang Xiucai and the other three people obviously ran to a high place, and they didn't know how to hand over his family, and they dared not to take them as counts, and the letter was two days late, which made Master Zhang worried, if the Xuezheng adults knew about it, they were afraid that they would be picked!

Thinking about it like this, the attitude became more and more humble, and the expression became more and more respectful, one by one, "Master Zhang" and "Mrs.", and rushed Huaizi to call "Big Young Master" and Chrysanthemum "Big Young Grandma", which made Chrysanthemum feel that they were like their own subordinates, and couldn't help but sigh that the slaves of this wealthy official and gentry family are very thoughtful.

However, since he did not intend to offend them, he did not care about this, so he sealed two bounties and handed them the grapes.

Where did the two dare to accept it, not only did they not dare to accept it, but they also kowtowed vigorously with Zhang Dazhuan several times, saying that it was too late to believe that it should be damned, and said the words of pleading guilt repeatedly, until Huaizi promised not to reveal the matter, and the two of them were relieved to leave.

Before leaving, the two of them eagerly told Huaizi that if the eldest young master went to Fucheng, there was a place to call them to run errands, just go to them, and leave an address for him.

After the two of them left, Huaizi sighed and said: "These two people are condescending, and the ability to watch the dishes is really not simple. It's a shame that we suffered in vain. ”

Chrysanthemum said: "Wealthy slaves are not all like this, if you don't know how to look at people's eyes and see the wind and rudder, where can you live smoothly?" It is also a means for them to save their lives. Don't talk about them anymore. You send Liu Sishun's letter to the Liu family; Xiaoshi's letter will also be sent to the set today, first, so that the third uncle and third aunt can rest assured after reading the letter, and second, let's see if Zhao Feng wants to do it. ”

Zhang Dazhuan hurriedly said: "It's going to be sent quickly." Huaizi, don't go down to the ground in the afternoon, go to the market to deliver the letter. If your Third Uncle Zhao has anything to ask, you can make it clear if you go, and others will not succeed. ”

Zhang Huai nodded, put away the two letters, and prepared to go out.

He Shi told again: "It doesn't matter if you ask his family Feng'er again." The baby cried so hard that I was scared. If it breaks, it's a big deal. ”

Chrysanthemum hurriedly comforted her and said: "I don't think it's in the way, he is in good spirits, didn't he let his father beat Liu Erniang to death?" Besides, Dr. Qin's medical skills are so powerful, even if he is injured a little, he can be cured. It's Liu Erniang-mother, you and the third aunt seem to have beaten her hard. ”

He pouted and said, "I can't die." I didn't even hit her in the head. However, your third aunt punched her in the chest a few times, and she vomited blood later, I am afraid that she will be beaten hard. We don't care about this, look at what the village chief says, we can't let us lose too much money, who let that woman talk nonsense. "She's ready to pay for it.

Zhang Dazhuan and Huaizi also said how to deal with Li Gengtian.

The family discussed a few more words, and after thinking about what to say to the outside world, Chrysanthemum packed up some dried vegetables and pickled vegetables for Huaizi to bring to Yunying, and he went out with the black skin.

I didn't have a break when I got up early this morning, and Chrysanthemum didn't sleep well last night, so I felt dizzy, so I said to He, and explained a few words to the grapes, let her look at the chestnuts and shallots, and went back to the room to take a nap.

When she woke up, her body was still a little soft, she lay still, looking at the top of the tent, there was laughter in the yard, and when she listened carefully, there were the voices of gourd and Li Jingwen talking, of course, there was the laughter of her own twins, and the whispers of I don't know who, it seemed that there was more than one person.

The sound of life immediately lifted her spirits, rolled over and got out of bed, cleaned herself up, and came to the courtyard.

saw her mother-in-law He, grandmother Wang and Niang Yang, as well as Aunt Liu and Grandma Liu sitting under the plum tree, with a large pile of wild bamboo shoots in front of them, laughing softly while peeling them; The three little milk babies sat in the car, looking at the gourds jumping around the yard and Li Jingwen "Ahhhh

"Chrysanthemum, are you awake? Are you better? Yang saw her standing under the porch and looked around, and hurriedly greeted.

Chrysanthemum went down the steps and asked in wonder, "What's better?" I wasn't sick, but I was tired and slept for a while. Mother, have you gone up the mountain to break bamboo shoots? ”

Yang smiled: "It was your mother-in-law and Aunt Liu who broke it." She said you weren't very comfortable, so I'll ask. Come here, sit here. Mother, take a look! ”

Chrysanthemum hurriedly went over and sat down on the small bench beside her, picked up a slender green bamboo shoot to peel it, and listened to He Shi's words: "I saw that your face was not very good at that time, and I thought that you were not comfortable, so I didn't go down to the field to plant beans, and it will be the same when I go to plant tomorrow morning." After the afternoon is busy, there is nothing to do, Aunt Liu is going to the mountain to break wild bamboo shoots, it just so happens that your mother and grandmother are here, they help watch the little baby, and I will follow. After breaking so much, the two families divided the points and boiled the sauce to eat. ”

Chrysanthemum looked at the sky and was surprised: "You have done so many things? Have I slept for a long time? I'm afraid I'm going to have to cook dinner. ”

Wang smiled: "I slept all afternoon." Poor thing, I was tired last night, and I didn't sleep until so late, and I tossed for a long time today. ”

She said that everyone waited for Huaizi to come back from Xiatang last night, so they slept late, and Chrysanthemum was sick in her heart, so she couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly diverted the conversation and asked, "Aunt Liu, why didn't you see the grapes?" ”

He smiled: "Cook sweet wine in the kitchen." I guess you're going to get up too, so I'll let her cook some sweet wine, and you can eat a bowl to pad your stomach and warm your stomach. Do you want to crack two eggs? ”

As soon as she said it, Chrysanthemum thought a little in her heart. She breastfed her two babies and ate more than usual, and this sweet wine egg is her favorite food. So he said, "Then let's fight two." My mother, grandmother, and Grandma Liu also ate some. ”
