On the evening of August 16, the Sui family was a little chaotic.

Before the end of the day, the old lady had already urged people to wait at the gate. Almost every quarter of an hour, I sent the girl around me to run and ask.

Naturally, the results are all the same:

"Old lady, no one has come yet. ”

The old man, who understood his wife's temperament, sat on the Taishi chair, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was indifferent to everything in front of him. Seeing that the girl Cuilian had already run back and forth three times, she couldn't help it, and couldn't help but say casually:

"It's just time, and it's not yet the middle of the day. ”

"What do you know, didn't the fortune teller say, it's the time, it's not the middle of the time, it's not the end of the time. ”

"Blind and anxious. ”

"It's about the future of my eldest grandson, it's about the future of your old Sui family, so you can hold your breath. ”

The old couple muttered a few words, and continued to close his eyes with the old man, and the old lady continued to urge the girl Cuilian to run back and forth to explore the letter.

Wu Zheng left the stone mill, seeing that he was almost to the west of the street, and even saw a locust forest outside the town, but he still didn't meet anyone who was interested in the rabbit he was carrying. I was about to choose a courtyard gate that looked a little more magnificent, and when I thought about simply knocking on the door and going in, and asking the host if I wanted it, suddenly a human head appeared in a large gate in front of him, and then the person ran to the street in three or two steps, waving to Wu Zheng while shouting:

"Little brother, come here, come here. ”

Wu Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, someone finally took a fancy to the two hares he picked up. Immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the man.

It's just that what Wu Zheng didn't expect was that after facing the middle-aged man in his forties, the other party didn't look at the rabbit in his hand at all, but grabbed his hand and dragged it hard towards the door, and kept complaining:

"Why did you come, the old lady is in a hurry. ”

Uh, what do you mean, do we know each other?

Wu Zheng, who was anxious to sell the rabbit for food, although he had doubts in his heart, he did not resist, raised his feet and followed the man into the yard, and came directly to the door of the main house.

"Old lady, here, here. ”

Without waiting for the words to land, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a sturdy body and dressed as a girl, stepped out of the door, and while beckoning to Wu Zheng, she also said:

"Little brother, come on. ”

As soon as the inexplicable Wu Zheng walked into the room, he saw that under the bright candlelight, on the Taishi chairs on both sides of the Eight Immortals table facing him, there was an old man in his seventies sitting on his left hand, and the old lady in his right hand was also gray, and her age was on par with the old man. It's just that both of them are looking at themselves, but neither of them is looking at the hare in their hands.

Just when Wu Zheng wanted to raise the rabbit in his hand to attract their attention, the old lady spoke:

"Child, how old is it, what is it?"

"Grandma, I'm thirteen years old, a pig. ”

Hearing Wu Zheng's answer, the old lady immediately turned her head, as if to question the old man:

"Whatever I say, the fortune teller is accurate. ”

The old man glanced at the old lady and did not refute, but asked Wu Zheng:

"Where did the children come from, where did the home come from, and where did the rabbits come from?"

Even though he had doubts in his heart, Wu Zheng still replied honestly:

"Grandpa, I came from the north of the mountain, my home is Houpo Village, and the rabbits were picked up on the road. ”

As soon as Wu Zheng's words fell, the old lady clapped her hands and said loudly in surprise and joy:

"God, God. Cuilian quickly put the incense case, I want to thank the gods of the Quartet. ”

Wu Zheng, who was confused by the second monk, was completely confused by the scene in front of him, if it weren't for the sudden grunt in his stomach, he would have almost forgotten the real purpose of coming here.

However, before Wu Zheng could speak, the old lady had already shouted outside the door:

"Sui Jing, take the child down to eat first, then take a bath and change clothes, and then bring me to see me. ”

"Yes, old lady. ”

The middle-aged man who pulled Wu Zheng in from the street walked into the hall, took Wu Zheng's hand again, and walked out.

Since there will be dinner soon, Wu Zheng will naturally not say anything, eating a full stomach first is the top priority in front of Wu Zheng.

Following the middle-aged Sui Jing, he came to a room on the side of the kitchen for his subordinates to eat, and a low square table had already been placed with two dishes of meat, one vegetarian and one dish, and even a large bowl of egg drop soup and a large bowl of white rice.

"Little brother, eat it, there is still rice in the pot, add it after eating." ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

After eating two large bowls of white rice, and eating two dishes and one soup on the table, he stood up and thanked Sui Jing again.

"Thank you, uncle. ”

"You're welcome, little brother, come with me to take a shower and change clothes. ”

Half an hour later, he washed his body, changed into a new cyan jacket that was obviously a small servant, including his shoes, and only a pair of cotton socks on his feet were white, and he followed Sui Jing and came to the hall of the main house again.

At this point, Wu Zheng had already roughly guessed what he had heard from the mouth of "his second aunt" that the Sui family wanted to recruit scholars. At present, this family must be the Sui family that "his second aunt" said, and it is obvious that the Sui family regards themselves as the people who came to apply for the bookboy. What I don't understand is that there must have been some misunderstanding in the middle, and Wu Zheng can't guess about it anyway.

When Wu Zheng, who was refreshed, stood in front of the table of the eight immortals in the hall again, in front of the old lady and the old man, the two old men all lit up, and glanced at each other, and the approval in their eyes was even seen by the girl Cuilian next to her.

"Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady. ”

The old lady patted the girl Cuilian's arm casually, and asked Wu Zheng with a smile on her face:

"Kid, are you full?"

"Grandma, you're full. ”

"By the way, what's your name, can you read?"

"Grandma, my name is Wu Zheng, and I know a few words. ”

"Wu Zheng, the husband is the only one who can't fight, so he can't fight with him; Good, good name. Who else is in the house?"

Wu Zheng replied to the old man's question without thinking:

"Grandpa, there's no one at home. ”

Wu Zheng's words almost made the old lady and the old man of the Sui family laugh out loud.

Isn't this a scholar sent by God to his eldest grandson Sui Xing?

The age is right, the genus is appropriate, the time of arrival is not to say, there is no concern at home, and I know a few words, where to find such a coincidence?

The old lady Sui looked at Wu Zheng, who was clear and beautiful, and she had already made up her mind in her heart, and she would send someone to thank the fortune teller again early tomorrow morning.

As everyone knows, just when Wu Zheng had been identified by an old couple and wife of the Sui family as his eldest grandson Sui Xing scholar, on the side of the road into the mountain behind Xiangyang Town, that is, where Wu Zheng picked up two rabbits, a person with no flesh, sunken eyes, and a thin figure similar to Wu Zheng had been groping there for a long time. Until he touched two empty rabbit sets made of thin wire, he couldn't help but stand up and scolded:

"Dead God, why don't you give people a way to live?

After a pause, he muttered to himself:

"You must not go to the blind man for nothing. ”

Then he raised his legs and walked quickly in the northwest direction of Xiangyang Town, and soon disappeared into the clear light of the bright moon that had just risen.
