Chapter 25: Door-to-door questioning
It's an August afternoon and the sun is shining.
The heat wave of the earth scorched by the heat adds a bit of laziness to the tireless cicada chirping.
In Taoyuan Village, under the big locust tree, there are many villagers gathering at this time.
"Da-da-da-da."
A lazy sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the entrance of the village.
The villagers who were enjoying the shade of the trees followed the sound and saw two gorgeous carriages, slowly moving towards the village.
"May I ask if this is Taoyuan Village?"
The coachman reined in the reins and asked the crowd.
There had never been such a gorgeous carriage in the village, and for a while the villagers pushed and shoved, but no one dared to come forward to talk.
Seeing this, the coachman was not in a hurry, smiled slightly, and took out a copper coin from his arms.
Just as he was about to speak again, he heard a rough voice not far away.
"This place is Taoyuan Village, I don't know what the distinguished guests are doing here?"
The person who came was Yun Shan, and he was followed by his grandson Yun Shou.
When the coachman saw that Yun Shan had answered, he first stuffed the copper coin into Yun Shou's hand, and then replied with a smile:
"My husband wants to find Yunyi in your village, please show me the way."
After listening to the coachman's words, Yun Shan didn't have time to speak, but the surrounding crowd began to talk first.
"Yunyi, this is lucky! With such a gorgeous carriage, the people in the carriage must be either rich or expensive. ”
"The identity of the person who came here is indeed noble, but whether Yunyi has taken a lot of luck or a big disaster, I don't know!"
"That's it, I heard that Yunyi stole Liu Fuzi's poems, and it is estimated that the nobles are here, and there is a chance that they will find that kid to claim a reward!"
……
At first, Yun Shan was a little hesitant to take them to Yunyi because he couldn't figure out the intentions of the people who came.
Now that I have listened to the discussions of the surrounding villagers, I have naturally made a decision in my heart.
was about to turn around and lead the way, but suddenly it occurred to me that I should give this opportunity to show my face in front of the nobles to my grandson.
So after pulling Yun Shou to explain, he took the lead in running in the direction of Yun Yi's house.
Seeing the excitement, the other villagers also followed the carriage in groups.
trotted all the way to the door of Yun Yi's house, and before he could catch his breath, Yun Shan pulled his throat and roared into the courtyard:
"Yunyi, Yunyi, you kid get out of here, now that the nobles have come to the door, do you still want to be a turtle with a shrunken head?"
The voice was so loud that half of Taoyuan Village could hear it.
Zhuang Jing'an, who was halfway there, heard the shout, and her brows couldn't help frowning.
However, Han Qingyun, who was in the carriage behind, instantly gloated after hearing Yun Shan's shout.
Yun Yi was groggily flipping through the book at this time, and when he heard Yun Shan's shouting, his face couldn't help but darken.
This cloud mountain, can you treat yourself as mud?
Shen Youwei, who heard the voice, also put down the female red and stood up.
was about to go out to check the situation, but was grabbed by Yunyi's hand.
"You stay in the house, I'll just get out."
After listening to Yunyi's arrangement, the little girl nodded subconsciously first.
But then she was worried that Brother Yi had a conflict with the patriarch, so she hurriedly followed her to the courtyard.
As soon as Yun Yi walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw Yun Shan standing in front of his house with a proud face.
Not far away, a group of villagers were clustering around two carriages, slowly driving towards this direction.
"Patriarch, what do you mean by that? Do you want to tear up our gambling contract? ”
Yun Yi glanced at the carriage not far away, and then stared at Yun Shan with burning eyes and asked.
"Don't worry, I can still afford to wait for a few months."
"It is not me who has come to you today to ask you about your sin, but the noble man in the carriage."
Yun Shan snorted coldly and pointed to the carriage not far away.
Hearing that it was the people in the carriage who wanted to make trouble for themselves, Yun Yi couldn't help but be stunned.
I haven't offended any nobles recently, huh?
"Are you sure the people in the carriage came to me for a question?"
Looking at the two carriages that were slowly stopping, Yun Yi asked with a puzzled expression.
Before he could finish speaking, the curtain of the carriage in front of him had been lifted.
Then a hearty voice came out of the carriage:
"Yunyi Xiaoyou, the old man took the liberty to come to visit, and please don't blame Xiaoyou!"
Hearing the slightly old voice, Yun Yi couldn't help but be stunned.
How did this old gentleman Zhuang Jingan find his home?
Seeing Yun Yi's stunned appearance, Yun Shan's face couldn't help but be happy.
It seems that he really guessed correctly, this noble man came to Yunyi to ask for guilt.
So he raised his eyebrows, and replied proudly: "Yes, this noble man is here to ask you......
It's just that he was stunned on the spot as soon as he was halfway through his words.
That's not right!
If you come to ask about the crime, you shouldn't call Yunyi Xiaoyou, right?
Besides, this old man with an extraordinary temperament was a little too polite to Yun Yi.
"You...... Didn't you come to Yunyi to ask for sin? ”
Yun Shan turned his head to look at Zhuang Jing'an and asked with an uncertain expression.
"Who said I was here to ask for sin?"
Zhuang Jing'an glanced at Yun Shan, slightly unhappy in her heart.
It's just for you to lead the way, why do you make it look like you're going to knock on the door?
"This ......"
Yun Shan couldn't speak for a while, it seemed that the person who came really hadn't said that.
"Mr. Zhuang's visit to the Humble House is really brilliant, please come in, please come in."
Seeing that the crowd of onlookers began to discuss, Yunyi hurriedly invited Zhuang Jingan to enter the door.
"Don't worry, wait for the old man's granddaughter to get out of the car, and then let's go in together."
Zhuang Jing'an waved his hand at Yun Yi and looked at the carriage behind.
In the carriage, two girls were listening intently to the movement outside.
After hearing Zhuang Jing'an's words, he covered his face with a fan and got out of the carriage lightly.
Yun Yi was still wondering who was sitting in the carriage behind him just now.
Now when I saw two delicate little girls getting off the carriage, I couldn't help but be stunned.
It's strange enough that Mr. Zhuang came to the door in person, why is there still two little girls with him now?
However, although Yunyi had doubts in his heart, his movements were not slow.
Stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of invitation, and took the lead in leading Zhuang Jingan towards the courtyard.
Looking at the courtyard door that was gently closed by Shen Youwei, the crowd of onlookers were all stunned on the spot.
This plot reversal is a bit unexpected!
How did the door-to-door questioning become a door-to-door visit?
"This ...... This old gentleman actually came to visit Yunyi? ”
"You're not talking nonsense! How can anyone come to the door to ask for guilt and bring his granddaughter! ”
"That's right! But what did the old man do when he brought his granddaughter to visit Brother Yi'er? Could it be ......"
"How is this possible? Yunyi didn't even pass the county exam! ”
"What's impossible about that? Don't forget that Brother Yi has just won the first prize in the poetry club! ”
"Didn't the patriarch say that Brother Yi stole Liu Fuzi's poems?"
……
Everyone was gossiping for a while, and Yun Shan's face was blue and white for a while.
Yun Yi's misappropriation of Liu Fuzi's poems, Zhou Kang has personally admitted that it is hearsay.
At this time, looking at this nobleman's attitude towards Yunyi, I think that the rumors are nine times out of ten false.
It's just that in this way, isn't the bet about itself destined to lose?
No way.
When pigs fly!
Even if he Yunyi can make a good poem, it doesn't mean that he can pass the county exam.
Yun Shan was looking at the closed courtyard door to comfort himself, when he heard a voice from behind the crowd.
"Is this Yunyi's home?"
