Chapter 392 Seabird Hunting
Zhu Pingan won the first prize, and his fourth aunt was pregnant again. This was a double happiness, and Zhu Pingan's family was filled with joy.
The Zhu family members who were immersed in joy were awakened only after the third time the messenger announced the good news. Mrs. Chen could no longer suppress the pride on her face and distributed the prepared red envelopes one by one to those who came to announce the good news. people.
"Take it, there are all."
Country people are not so particular, because there are too many people coming to announce the good news. Father Zhu and his third and fourth uncles are too busy to come, and Mrs. Chen is also too busy. She stood up and handed out red envelopes to reward people who brought good news. When it was given to a well-dressed person, the man did not accept the red envelope to reward the money. So Chen said something and put the money into his hand without refusal and looked at it. He accepted it and then continued to send it back.
At this time, the uncle Zhu Shouren who was standing in the corner was so frightened that his face was blue. He was from the second son's family, that was the Lord of the Palace! Why don't you give me a reward of wool? They still need your few pennies!
After distributing the rewards one by one, Mrs. Chen caught a glimpse of his uncle Zhu Shouren huddled in the corner and couldn't help but roll his eyes! Just now he was hurriedly saying that he was going to visit the county magistrate, but now even the third and fourth sons in the family came out to help hand out red envelopes, and he was just huddled in the corner like a quail! No guts!
The person who brought the good news handed the good news into the hands of Zhu's father. Before Zhu's father could take a closer look, Mr. Chen took it over.
The good news is made of fine fabrics. The font is in official script and is very clear. Three official seals are stamped in the middle above the good news. The background of the good news is a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and below it is a carp swimming against the dragon's gate in the majestic waves. The golden carp on the top is a soaring dragon looming in the clouds and rain of Wushan Mountain, which symbolizes that the number one scholar will be like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate, and the future is limitless.
Ms. Chen looked at the good news in her hand and was filled with joy. The No. 1 pick is different. The material for this good news is hundreds of times better than the previous ones, and the paintings look festive. The previous good news didn't even have a painting, but this one still looks good.
After receiving the good news, Mrs. Chen stopped Li Dahei, a carpenter in the village who was watching the excitement in the yard, and asked him to quickly make a good-looking watch frame and deliver it.
Why make a table frame?
In fact, the reason is very simple. Mrs. Chen wants to frame the good news that Zhu Ping'an won the top prize and hang it in the most conspicuous place at home. On the one hand, this is a great thing to honor the ancestors, and on the other hand, it will make everyone Anyone who comes to Zhu's house can see the good news that Zhu Ping'an won the top prize at a glance.
Just Jiangjiang
"Don't leave, everyone. Please help the fellow villagers to support the pot. Everyone will stay for a light meal and some wine." Zhu's father was happy after giving out the red envelopes. After Qian, he invited the onlookers inside and outside the courtyard.
With free food and wine, people naturally would not refuse and applauded one after another, and the festive atmosphere increased several times.
Uncle Zhu Shouren, who arrived at the corner at some unknown time, looked at Zhu's father who was making arrangements in front of others. He wanted to take steps to go to the county magistrate several times to brush his face, but he saw the crowds of people watching in the yard and the courtyard. There was a dense crowd of people on the roof outside the tree, but they didn't take a step. After all, his purpose was shady.
Zhu Pingan won the top prize, and the whole Xiahe Village was excited. This is the top prize, Wen Quxing.
Shanghe Village, which is close to Xiahe Village, naturally heard the news. Old Master Sun made a cup of tea and sat in the yard, squinting his eyes and listening to the crackling firecrackers in Xiahe Village. He felt as if he had eaten honey. Just as sweet.
The mistress who was mending clothes opposite looked at Old Master Sun’s chrysanthemum-like old face and rolled her eyes several times. Of course, the mistress’s eyes were also smiling.
In the courtyard of the Li family, not far from Old Master Sun's home, there were also constant sounds of firecrackers. Listening to the crackling of their own firecrackers, the servants in the house chattered with joy about the good news that their uncle had won the first prize.
The door of Rich Man Li's bedroom was closed, and there were two serious-looking nurses outside with their hands clasped around their waists, looking around vigilantly.
In the bedroom, the fat rich man Li sat at the table, tapping the table lightly with his fingers wearing big gold rings, squinting his eyes slightly and looking in the direction of Xiahe Village, his round and fat figure The expression on his face was a little surprised.
I didn’t expect that boy to win the first prize, and Shu’er cried, made trouble, and hung herself all the time so she wouldn’t marry him!
"Sir, the seabird hunting failed. Lu Shen, the guardian of Qianhu, who was guarding Qianhu in the Funing Guard, said that Qianhu could not escape the blame! My subordinates have received information about the ants. During the hunting, merchants came in and out of Lu Qianhu's mansion. , entered late at night, and left through the secret passage at dawn the next day.”
Kneeling at the feet of Rich Man Li was a thin man with a scar on his face and a cold aura all over his body, like a stinging dagger hidden in a sheath.
At this moment, the man was kneeling on the ground. He presented a secret fold with the bloody flying fish symbol to Rich Man Li with both hands. He lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Rich Man Li. A strand of black hair hung down. , covering half of his face.
“Who said it failed?”
Rich Man Li withdrew his gaze from the direction of Xiahe Village and turned to the man kneeling on the ground, with a slight smile on his fat face. Smiling like a fat version of a fox.
Didn’t fail? The kneeling man was a little puzzled and stunned. He didn't quite understand. He had obviously failed.
"This is a seabird. Although this seabird is a little thinner, I believe this is just the beginning. With this bird, there will be more birds." Rich Man Li looked like a businessman who sees business opportunities. He smiled, took the secret fold from the man's hand, rubbed the ring somewhere on the secret fold with his hand, and then opened the secret fold.
"My lord is wise."
Hearing this, the kneeling man looked at Rich Man Li with even more awe in his eyes. He did not expect that everything was the enchantment of the lord. He did not expect that this talent It was a real plan, so interconnected and meticulous that everything turned out to be nothing more than a cover-up.
“Now that the bird is in the net, let’s catch it.”
After reading the secret, Rich Man Li threw out a bloody flying fish waist card and said softly.
The man kneeling on the ground didn't even raise his head, so he stretched out his hands to catch the bloody waistband thrown by Rich Man Li without missing a beat.
This is a metal waist badge. I don’t know what materials were added to make it appear blood red, as if it was stained with blood. The waist badge is about one-third the size of a palm, in the shape of a flying fish, with three black characters "Jinyiwei" on it, and a red "dark" character in the lower corner that is easy to miss, as if watered with blood.
"Sir, do you want to inform Nanzhen Fusi?" The thin man kneeling on the ground collected the Feiyu card and asked with some scruples on his scarred face.
“What do you think?” Rich Man Li touched his fat face, lowered his head and asked with a smile.
"This subordinate deserves to die! Please forgive me." The thin man trembled all over and apologized. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Rich Man Li again, as if something terrible had happened to him. (End of chapter)
