After Huaizi and they left, Zhang Dazhuan didn't have the heart to go to the ground, so he only took his grandson at home and hugged the chestnut, and walked around the yard, not knowing what to do, and finally, he simply went to the woods outside and walked around the river. [].

Chestnut was very happy, waving at the birds in the tree, but his grandfather paid no attention to him.

At dinner, Zheng Changhe got a letter and came over with Yang to greet him.

Zhang Dazhuan immediately found the person to confide in, and pulled Zheng Changhe to talk endlessly; He also pulled Yang's and nagged Yang Zi repeatedly when he said that he would be fine.

Chrysanthemum sighed, if it wasn't believed, the old couple would not be able to sleep at night. In fact, she felt that Zhang Yang was picked up by someone sent by Master Zhou, but the world is unpredictable, and it is also possible that they were involved by Master and taken away, so they didn't dare to say anything.

She arranged dinner, persuaded the old couple to eat, and persuaded them to persuade them with a few words, while accompanying them to wait for Zhang Huai and Aoki to come back. Later, Zhao San and his wife also came over with their youngest son Zhao Feng.

Shi Niang's eyes were red, and she had obviously cried. When she saw He and Yang, she couldn't help but feel sad again, and Chrysanthemum had to use her previous words to persuade her again.

They didn't come back until late at night.

Chrysanthemum listened to the movement outside with her ears pricked up while talking with a few people, and when she heard a burst of dog barking from the distant village, she said to Zhang Dazhuo: "Dad, I'm afraid it's Brother Huaizi and they are back."

The night has been silent, causing the whole village to bark, only someone has entered the village, at this time, except for Zhang Huai who went out, I am afraid that there will be no one else.

Zheng Changhe nodded and said, "The dog barked so badly, someone has entered the village, and there is more than one person." It was Huaizi and Aoki who came to their house. ”

Zhang Dazhuan stood up anxiously and said, "I'll take a look!" Zhao San also stood up.

Chrysanthemum hurriedly said: "Dad! Third uncle! They are coming to the house, and you can't just stand on the road with you to talk and say hello and delay your work, so it's better to wait at home, and when you meet, you have to talk about it from the beginning. ”

Yang also persuaded: "You two are determined, you have been waiting for most of the night, and you don't care about this time." But Chrysanthemum is right, it is better to wait at home if you go to Bai to delay your work. ”

The two of them had to sit down again, but the fist resting on their knees was clenched tightly, and it was obvious that they were very nervous; Shi Niang and He Shi also looked at the courtyard with blank eyes.

Chrysanthemum hurriedly said: "The courtyard gate is not closed, and the black skin is guarding the door." ”

In fact, as long as you listen carefully, you will know where Huaizi and they are: when the barking of the dogs in the old village in the distance stopped, after a while, the dogs of the Zhang family and the Zheng family heard the movement, and first barked "Wang", and then the dogs raised by the people on the side of the mountain followed the barking and echoed, didn't this go to the door?

Sure enough, there was a sound of talking and the sound of the carriage, Zhang Dazhuan couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately rushed out of the house, and Zhao San and his family also followed, but He Shi forced himself to calm down and sat on the bench and waited.

There was a loud noise, and hula poured into a room of people.

In the chaotic words, Chrysanthemum understood: Strange Dao made such a big move, it turned out that the three of the Liu family, father and son, went to the entrance of the village to wait for them after dinner, and waited until they followed behind, which naturally alarmed the dogs in the whole village.

Huaizi saw the anxious appearance of his father and Zhao San, and he didn't care about taking a breath, so he said first: "Dad! Mother! Third uncle! Uncle Liu! Yangzi: They should be fine. ”

This caused a burst of cheers, followed by a flurry of gossip.

Liu Sanshun hurriedly said: "It's so noisy, why do people talk?" Can you make people take a breath and start slowly? ”

Everyone was embarrassed to find a bench and sit down, and waited anxiously for Huaizi to tell them the details.

Chrysanthemum poured hot water for the three of them and asked Huaizi in a low voice, "Didn't eat?" ”

Huaizi shook his head and said, "I've eaten it." Sensei worried. ”

Chrysanthemum stopped talking, and also found a small bench, sat in front of He and Yang, and listened to Huaizi.

It turned out that Huaizi and the others went to the market, and they did hear that everyone was rumoring that Sanxiu was arrested, and they said it vividly, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

He couldn't come up with anything new when he thought about it-it was all out of shape, saying that Yang Zi and they were kidnapped and taken away by Wuhuada, and they had to come to Qingnan Village the next day to copy their homes, and they didn't want to think about it, what did this farmer have to copy?

He shook his head when he heard this, discussed a few words with Aoki and Liu Sanshun, and went to Qinghui Restaurant to find the shopkeeper.

As soon as he walked a few steps, he saw Yun Ying hurriedly walking towards Zhao Qing. When I asked, I learned that they had also heard the rumors, so I inquired around and prepared to go back to Qingnan Village to report the news.

"My senior brother said that I am afraid that the rumors of this matter are wrong......" Yun Ying told them what she and Qin Feng had heard, and they were all similar words, and she said, "My senior brother has asked someone to go to Huzhou Mansion to inquire about this matter, and the news will come back in four or five days at the earliest, so that aunts and sisters don't worry." ”

Huaizi and the others hurriedly thanked her, and saw Zhao Qingli standing aside, holding Yunying's hands tightly, listening to them with flashing black eyes, looking very panicked, and said Qing'er, your brother is fine, and your father and mother are fine. If you listen to those people's nonsense, there is no end to it. ”

Yunying glanced down at her and said distressedly, "I've been persuading her." Those who came to the hospital liked to spread the word and talk non-stop, and she panicked, so I had to take her out and prepare to go back to the village to have a look. ”

Aoki said: "We still have to find someone to ask carefully - which one did this merchant do business with when he went to Xiatangji?" Find that person and ask, and then ask in the restaurant where he eats, I'm afraid it's too late to go back, so you still don't want to go back. When we get the news back, we will go to Jishitang to tell you first, and we will save you from running away again. ”

Yun Ying nodded hurriedly and whispered a few words to Zhao Qing, and Zhao Qing grinned reluctantly: "Brother Huaizi, Brother Aoki, Brother Sanshun, you go and inquire about things, I won't go home." You're going to come and talk to me later! ”

Aoki and the others hurriedly agreed, and then they separated and walked separately.

They went to Chen's Qinghui Restaurant and found the golden shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper Jin was also concerned about this, and he specially stepped forward to inquire that day. In fact, Chen Yu, the young owner of his family, was also admitted to Xiucai, but because there were three Xiucai in Qingnan Village at once, and there was a person the year before last, he was covered with limelight, and his reputation was not very obvious.

Therefore, when the businessman came to the restaurant for dinner in the morning, when he talked about the three talents in Qingnan Village, everyone in the restaurant pricked up their ears and stretched their necks.

According to the man, he also heard from someone who saw a group of officers and soldiers take away three people, and the onlookers did not know why. Because of this, the man concluded that Sanxiu was arrested, and even Ding Xuezheng's mansion was silent at all, isn't this a crime?

"Brother Zhang, I think this is very strange, not necessarily a bad thing. I specifically asked, but I didn't say that I was kidnapped, and I didn't say that I was in a prisoner's car. The man was also very confused - he did not see it with his own eyes, but he had only heard a legend, as if there was a carriage, - have you ever seen a man who was arrested in a carriage? Therefore, I am afraid that there is another reason for this matter. ”

The golden shopkeeper carefully told them about the situation at that time, and also expressed his thoughts. The Chen family originally had business dealings with the Zheng family, and now there are a few talents, and they have to deliberately hand over a few of them, but the young master has specially greeted him.

Zhang Huai and a few others glanced at each other, although they were not sure, but they were also the same as the gold shopkeeper thought, this is not necessarily a bad thing, Yang Zi and they will definitely ask someone to bring the letter back; Even if it is really taken, Ding Xuezheng will send someone to deliver the letter to his family.

With that in mind, they prepared to go home, and they couldn't ask for anything more anyway.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, a little second came to pass the word, saying that the shopkeeper of the Fang family's Song was in the private room next door, and asked a few people to come over to talk.

Huaizi and the others went over to meet again.

After a few pleasantries, Shopkeeper Song smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, don't panic, Brother Ling will be fine, it's just an ignorant and foolish rumor."

Huaizi asked in surprise: "Could it be that the shopkeeper knows the inside story?" ”

Shopkeeper Song smiled, motioned for his entourage to go out, closed the door and waited outside the private room, and then he said softly: "My old lady also got the letter: Master Zhou, who was hidden in Qingnan Village a few years ago, is an important minister of the imperial court and a master of scripture in Yasukuni. When he returned to the imperial court this time, he was reused and ranked first among the hundred officials. Brother Ling and a few of them thought that they were taken to the capital by his old man and went to study in the country. ”

He looked at Zhang Huai's stunned appearance, full of envy: this village is so lucky that there is no boundary, and a random teacher is a top-notch figure, no wonder there are three talents in the first exam.

Zhang Huai stayed for a while before bowing down to the shopkeeper Song and thanking him, and said, "In this case, presumably Yang Zi and they will definitely ask someone to send the letter back, and we will go home and wait." Thank you for the reminder from the shopkeeper, so that I don't have to be afraid. ”

Shopkeeper Song hurriedly waved his hand and said that there was no need to be polite, and told them not to spread the matter to the outside world, because Master Zhou probably didn't want people to know that he had lived in seclusion here for many years, otherwise, he should announce it with great fanfare, and then take away Zhang Yang a few of them, and it would not cause rumors to spread.

Zhang Huai and the other three hurriedly nodded, saying that they would definitely not talk nonsense.

Therefore, what they said to Zhang Dazhuan and others at this time was that Yang Zi and the others were afraid that they would be selected to study in the Guozi Prison, because they had not received the letter, so they asked them not to publicize it outside, lest other bad words be spread, as long as they knew that a few of them had nothing to do.

At this point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be jubilant again, asking some questions about where the Guozijian was and how to choose it, and the commotion was made for a while before it dispersed.
