In the back house of Lingzhuzhuang, in the courtyard in front of the study, Zu Shou and Tang Jiusheng competed for internal strength, after a cup of tea, Zu Shou's internal strength was already weak, and he held on for half a cup of tea. Tang Jiusheng's face was expressionless, he withdrew his left palm, and looked at Zu Shanping, who was sitting on the ground holding the Zou family. Seeing that his father was dead, Zu Shanping gently picked up Zou and leaned against the wall. He came to pick up his father's body again, but not a single tear fell.

Tang Jiusheng lowered his head, touched Zu Qingqiu's hair, and asked with a smile: "Little girl, the murderer of your father is dead, what are you going to do with this pair of men and women?"

The seven-year-old girl Zu Qingqiu sighed, "Those people who monitor me were all sent by Zu Shou, and my aunt has always protected me, and Brother Shanping has never hurt me." Uncle Tang, since the two of them love each other, let the two of them go. ”

Tang Jiusheng laughed, "You little girl's family, what do you know about love or not?" Forget it, since the current head of the ancestral family has spoken to let you go, then you two can get out! Remember, if you dare to practice any harmful evil arts in the future, Tang will directly slaughter you with a knife, and you will not be welcome!" Zu Shanping and the Zou family only had to make promises, Zu Shanping carried the body of Zu Shou on his back, and left Lingzhuzhuang with the Zou family, and he didn't know where to go.

An eagle chirp sounded in the sky, Tang Jiusheng raised his arm, Xiaoqing lightly landed on Tang Jiusheng's hand, rubbed Tang Jiusheng's hand with his face, Tang Jiusheng smiled and stroked the feathers on Xiaoqing's back, "Xiaoqing, thank you for your hard work! I didn't let you fall down and rest for an afternoon and a night today." ”

It turned out that Xiaoqing had already found Tang Jiusheng in the afternoon, but Tang Jiusheng didn't signal it to fall in order not to alarm a few bad people in the ancestral family, so Xiaoqing had no choice but to hover in the nearby sky and didn't dare to fly away. Tang Jiusheng asked Zhuang Ding to go to the kitchen to get some chicken and fed Xiaoqing, who squatted on Tang Jiusheng's shoulder to rest when he was full.

Zu Qingqiu took Tang Jiusheng back to the living room, and Zhuang Ding had already lit up a few sticks of butter wax. The two of them each found a seat and sat down, the little maid came up to offer tea, Tang Jiusheng scratched his head and asked, "Big niece, now the enemy who killed your father is dead, but it's a pity that you are too young to let you be in charge of your own house." Do you have any other relatives in your ancestral family who can help take care of you and your family's property?"

Zu Qingqiu smiled flatly, shook his head and said, "My father and uncle had a discord and died of old age

I don't get along, and my aunt is married to Lingnan, and she can't take care of me. My aunt and Brother Shanping are gone, the old villain of Zushou is dead, and there are only two elderly family members in this family, Zutong and Zuxiang, who can still give enough trust, and now I am the head of the family, who is in charge if I don't call the shots?"

Tang Jiusheng was a little shocked by this little girl's city government, "Girl, then how do you arrange things at home?"

Zu Qingqiu said with a smile: "There is nothing to arrange, it is nothing more than to do their own work, let Zu Tong and Zu Xiang lead these people to continue to do things according to the old rules, and take care of what silk villages, restaurants, teahouses, and inns under my father's name, I will first follow Uncle Tang to the rivers and lakes for two years, and then come back to take over these household chores." In the future, I will also be a strong female owner!"

Tang Jiusheng immediately looked at this little girl with admiration, and he didn't see that this seven-year-old girl could have such ambitions. Tang Jiusheng laughed and was very pleased, "Little girl, three years old looks at the younger and seven years old looks old, your future in the future is limitless!"

Zu Qingqiu wept and said: "I am now a child without a father and a mother, this time thanks to Uncle Tang's rescue, otherwise I would have died at the hands of bad people sooner or later." I'm a child without a father or mother, so I'll have to rely on Uncle Tang to take care of me more in the future!"

Tang Jiusheng nodded, "Little girl, those are all trivial things. Uncle is very strange, you trust me very much when you meet me, and you are not afraid that I am a liar hired by those people? How can you be sure that I will go to the back house first and get rid of the people who are spying on you?"

Zu Qingqiu burst into tears and smiled: "It's not because you're handsome, you don't look like a bad guy at first glance!" Tang Jiusheng couldn't laugh or cry. Zu Qingqiu said again: "Actually, when my father came back, he told me about you, about your appearance, about you having a dragon knife with a little golden dragon wrapped around the handle, and about you being a big hero of righteousness, a hero, although young, but the future is limitless. ”

Zu Qingqiu smiled again: "If Tang Daxia can't save me when he comes, then the aunt of the water-based Yanghua can't save me, and Zu Shou will get rid of me sooner or later." So you're my only chance, I just have to gamble. When I poured you tea, I pinched your hand and winked at you twice, just to remind you to pay attention to the people around me, several people around me were placed by Zu Shou to spy on me, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense. ”

Tang Jiusheng admired and praised him more and more

said: "Little girl, I didn't expect you to be brave and resourceful at such a young age!" Tang Jiusheng asked again: "But after all, the Zou family indirectly killed your father, why didn't you borrow my hand to get rid of her?"

Zu Qingqiu said: "The culprit is Zu Shou, even if my aunt doesn't absorb my father's internal strength, Zu Shou will poison my father sooner or later." My aunt was originally a poor person, after my father's death, this Zhuangzi belonged to her to protect me the most, regardless of whether she intended to use me or not, but at least objectively she helped me, otherwise I wouldn't have survived today, so I decided to let her live. ”

Tang Jiusheng stood up and said with a smile: "Good boy! I'm tired today, you can rest first! Ming'er pack up your things and arrange things at home, Uncle Tang will take you to chase after the fat uncle and aunts, let's go to Zhujiazhuang first, and then the next step is to enter Beijing!"

The two rested separately and did not speak for the night. The next morning, Zu Qingqiu, accompanied by Tang Jiusheng, arranged the affairs of Zhuangzhong, and sure enough, the two trusted old family members Zu Tong and Zu Xiang were in charge of the housework, and the rest of them still did things according to the old rules. Zu Qingqiu packed up his change of clothes, made a small package, rode a black horse with some silver tickets and broken silver, and followed Tang Jiusheng on the road to Zhujiaji.

Sparrowhawk Xiaoqing squatted on Tang Jiusheng's shoulder and dozed off, Tang Jiusheng touched its bird face, this little thing followed him, and it was hard work to fly around every day. The two rode on the official road, looked for a way and went straight to Zhujiazhuang, and asked the villagers about the location of Zhujiazhuang, went straight to the village gate, and asked Zhuang Ding to report his name. When Zhu Jiafu's father and son heard that Tang Jiusheng was coming, they were overjoyed and personally greeted them at the gate of the village.

Zhu Jiafu saw the abnormal situation, took Tang Jiusheng's hand, and shook it a few times, "Oh, Tang Shaoxia, you're here! It's exactly like Zhu Congwen treats a fat man, he really deserves to be a father and son.

Tang Jiusheng was also unceremonious, and raised the qi machine to compete, "Eh, Senior Zhu has won the award, Senior Zhu is famous in the rivers and lakes, and he is a model for my younger generations." "The result of the internal force contest is that the two of them are equal in skill and chess and drums. Zhu Jiafu was also quite shocked, this junior was so young, he was on par with himself, and when he reached his age, he was still the first in the world? Zhu Jiafu took Tang Jiusheng's hand and happily entered the living room.
