"Father-in-law? What is Father-in-law? Zhou Heiniu couldn't understand, blinked his big black eyes, and looked at his mother in a daze.

Fu Sanniang held his face and said with a smile, "My mother met a big official in the capital, and he said that he has the ability to let you enter the palace as a petty official, that is, to be a father-in-law, a petty official who specializes in serving the emperor and the queen mother, if you become a petty official, you will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life." ”

Zhou Heiniu looked at Fu Sanniang's eyebrows, but his face gradually changed.

Because, he is good at observing words and feelings, and found that Fu Sanniang's face was lying with an expression on his face.

He didn't know why his mother was lying, but it was quite sad to be deceived.

"Will my mother bring my eldest brother with me?" Zhou Heiniu asked.

"I heard that he is married to the Tian family, right? He went to the capital, and the Tian family would definitely not agree. Besides, he has errands and family affairs, and can be self-reliant, his mother is only worried about you, you are only twelve years old, and you don't have a mother to protect you, how can you live a good life in the future? Fu Sanniang said, took a handkerchief and rubbed her eyes.

Zhou Heiniu, who can read people's expressions, found that her expression was not a little sad, but had a snicker.

His heart was even more sad.

Mother's sadness, is it fake?

"I'm going to talk to my brother."

Although Zhou Heiniu wanted to be close to Fu Sanniang and wanted to go with Fu Sanniang, he had been dependent on his brother for a few years, and he was used to listening to his brother's arrangements for big and small things.

For example, when he went to Lin Xirou's house to work as a helper, his brother agreed first, and his brother told him about the benefits of being a helper, and he agreed.

Now it seems that after working as helpers for more than half a year, they are not only well fed, but also warmly dressed, and in the winter of previous years, their hands and feet will have frostbite, crack and bleed, and they will not be able to walk.

This year, there is a brand-new cotton robe given by Mrs. Lin, and he and his brother have saved silver for decades, and his brother said that he can renovate their house and marry him a daughter-in-law.

He doesn't want a daughter-in-law, he just wants to be with his brother.

"My mother told him, and he agreed." Fu Sanniang grabbed Zhou Heiniu and said with a smile.

"Really? Mother? ”

"Of course, my mother won't lie to you." Fu Sanniang's eyes dodged.

This didn't hide Zhou Heiniu.

Zhou Heiniu's heart was even more lost.

He pinched the purse given by Fu Sanniang and returned it to Fu Sanniang's hand.

This bag of copper coins is only about a few dozen yuan.

But he had a few dozen taels of silver.

"Mother, I don't lack money."

Zhou Heiniu turned around and left.

Fu Sanniang panicked and dragged him back.

This time, it was hard to say good words, but changed his face, raised his hand and slapped Zhou Heiniu hard.

"Little rabbit cub, the old lady worked hard to give birth to you, and you just ran away? Don't go. ”

Zhou Heiniu looked at Fu Sanniang with tears in his eyes, "Mother, I really don't want to go to the capital, I don't want to leave my brother." ”

"What's so good about that kid? You follow your mother, you will eat and drink spicy food in the future, don't say anything about catching fast, even if you are the county magistrate or the prefect, you have to say hello when you see you. I'm your mother, how can I hurt you? ”

Fu Sanniang was so anxious that she clenched her fingers.

"He's just a twelve-year-old kid who doesn't understand anything, how can he be a big official, and let the prefect and county magistrate see him and say hello? What big words did my mother say? Zhou Heihu had a cold face, pushed the door and strode in.

After Zhou Heihu came to Lin Xirou's house, he ate well, slept well, was in a good mood, and grew a little taller.

When he first came, he was about the same height as Lin Xirou, but now Lin Xirou is half a head taller, and his future height may be close to Li Shen.

In addition, he has been in the yamen for some time, eating and living with some solemn-looking hunters, and his mental state has become different from that of the people in the village.

At a young age, he looks serious like an adult.

His eyes were like torches, looking directly at Fu Sanniang.

Fu Sanniang hates her eldest son the most.

Because the eldest son looks like a man who died young.

Her man hated her for not working, and always said that he would divorce her.

always put on a stinky face to teach her.

Fortunately, he died early.

But who knows, the older the eldest son grows, the more he looks like a dead ghost man.

"What do you know? After a few days of catching fast, you think you're sorry? Dare to teach my mother? Fu Sanniang sneered.

"Where has my mother been these days? Why did the accent of the speech change? Zhou Heihu narrowed his eyes.

After entering the yamen, he learned a lot of knowledge.

For example, judging where you are from is by your accent, which is the most basic ability.

His mother spoke with an accent in the direction of the capital, which was slightly similar to the accent of Mulang Junlin's mother.

"Do you dare to take care of the old lady? It's against you! Fu Sanniang slapped and slapped Zhou Heihu's face.

Zhou Heihu followed Li Shen to learn some skills, and he jumped away agilely.

took his younger brother Zhou Heiniu's hand, turned around and left.

"Black Bull, let's ignore her."

"Okay."

Seeing his brother, Zhou Heiniu's heart was a lot more stable.

But Fu Sanniang came all the way back from the capital, and took a few days in a carriage to drive 300 miles back to his hometown, how could he return in vain?

Unwillingly, she saw the deadbolt on the door and pulled it towards her brother's head.

"Stop!"

But then, a stick flew towards her chest.

It made her scream in pain.

The deadbolt smashed into her foot as well.

"Ouch-"

"Brother Mu Sheng? Brother Eucalyptus? How did you guys get here? ”

"I'm here to send you a peach charm, it's the New Year, every family hangs a peach charm, and your family has to hang it." Li Shen raised his hand and placed a pair of peach talismans in Zhou Heihu's hands.

"You little Langjun, what are you doing to fight slaves from the ground?" Fu Sanniang's eyes were resentful, and she frowned sadly.

Zhou Heihu turned around and found Fu Sanniang sitting on the ground with a deadbolt on her lap.

He immediately understood, and smiled coldly, "You want to hit us?" ”

"Mother......" Zhou Heiniu had just been beaten, his lips curled in disappointment, and the corners of his eyes instantly turned red again.

"Who told you to run?" Fu Sanniang knew that she couldn't lie this time, so she took out the frame of being a mother to teach her son a lesson, "I'm your mother, I can't discipline you?" ”

Li Shen glanced coldly at the jade pendant around her waist and walked into the room.

"Fu Sanniang, what is the relationship between you and King Rui?"

Fu Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then scratched her head with a light smile and said, "No...... It doesn't matter. Who is King Rui? I don't recognize? Xiao Langjun, who are you talking about? ”

"The jade pendant on your waist was used by King Rui, and his things will not be given away easily, but at this moment, it has come to you."

"I picked it up." Fu Sanniang held her neck up.

"That's the prince of the capital, today's son of heaven, surrounded by a group of guards, and a crowd of servants, don't say that you pick up a jade pendant, you may not be able to pick up a hair strand, what nonsense? Tell me honestly, where did the stuff come from? Bai Yu twisted her up and pushed her to kneel in front of Li Shen.

Zhou Heihu didn't understand what was going on, he blinked and walked over with his younger brother.

"Brother Mu Sheng, Brother Bai Eucalyptus, what Rui King and what jade pendant? What are you talking about? ”
