When Zhao Laoer heard the reminder from his second son, he nodded hurriedly to show his knowledge, lest his second son, who always had big ideas, didn't believe him and started doing random things in private.
Among his children, the second son is the most clever and cunning, but because of his cleverness and cunning, he always feels that the family is at a disadvantage and is not as obedient and sensible as his eldest son.
Every time he said something, he, as an old man, just nodded slowly, and then he could secretly sort things out for him later. It was like this when he went back to Fucheng.
He didn't even know when his son had agreed with his third brother and sister to go to Fucheng to join his third brother, and then he said, "Dad, I want to go back to the village to stay for two days" and ran away.
If he hadn't just returned to the village for a wedding banquet a few days later, he might not have known that his son was not in the village at all. He was so frightened that he almost thought that his son had been murdered for money.
He was clever enough to collude with the housekeeper at the other end of the village to hide the truth from the whole family, but it was a pity that he was not very smart.
How could a truly smart kid throw himself into a trap and run to the capital when it's too late to hide? It's too late to hide. Don't mess around with his third uncle's family affairs.
Everyone here knows that the nephew has no real son, and he wants to borrow the ladder given by his third aunt to join his third uncle. This kid still underestimates his third uncle.
It's useless to say it. I told the child a long time ago not to take your third uncle's advice, but he still doesn't listen. Fortunately, I found a government job for this child.
I hope that when my eldest brother is still an official, the yamen will give him a little less respect, so that this child can learn more about human nature and sophistication in the yamen.
In case the second son not only wanted him to keep an eye on the county magistrate at home, but also blindly sent someone to keep an eye on the second son when he was not at home, Zhao Laoer replied simply and neatly, "Okay, dad will never forget it."< br>
But staring?
Probably useless.
Some people love money, but some people love talent even more. Their Qingyang County magistrate doesn't value money very much. Otherwise, why would a good county magistrate not come here to be a county magistrate?
So far, there are only two or three families that the County Magistrate can be invited to visit. However, Erzhu's second son and Chang Shunzi's eldest son are very popular with the County Magistrate.
Instead of keeping an eye on what the county magistrate is going to do next, it would be better to ask Erzhuzi's second son to find out. It's a pity that Erzhuzi and Chang Shunzi haven't come back from running to the capital, otherwise it would be more appropriate to ask their in-laws, but I don't know about these two in-laws. Can people get home before the yamen salesmen come back with nothing to buy this time?
It was still very cold in February. It had snowed a few days ago and the snow had turned into ice. The roads were difficult to travel and the horse-drawn carriage had difficulty traveling. It was not until almost noon that we arrived at the entrance of Gujiazhuang Village.
The carriage had to stop for a moment when it was about to enter the gate of Zhuangzi. Zhao Sanlang, who had caught up on his sleep on the carriage, woke up naturally without any reminder from the coachman or Zhao Dalang.
Lift the car curtains and take a look?
Good guy, it's lively. There are several mules and oxcarts parked in the open space outside, and there are many young and old men coming and going to move things.
The carriage moved on.
"Do all restaurants in Qingyang County use Gu's soybean oil tofu? The wasteland is valuable, brother." Zhao Sanlang hurriedly reminded Zhao Dalang in his ear while the carriage was moving around and no one was approaching.
Whether it is soybean oil or tofu, soybeans must be used. Soybeans do not require good fields to grow. Zhao Dalang patted his second brother and told him to sit down and nodded in agreement.
"Growing beans can also fertilize the fields. In my opinion, our family should not buy any more shops. Now there are people outside saying that our Zhao family accounts for most of the good shops in the city."
Zhao Dalang nodded again, "It's quite eye-catching. I still don't know where the county minister is from."
"It's definitely not too small."
Gu Wenxuan can guess that one of the Zhao family's second brothers will definitely come today. Now that some things have been settled, he will no longer "happen to be out at home".
No, Zhi Ming rushed back from the city and just finished talking about the "grand event" of the city gate from yesterday evening to this morning, when the concierge received a message from the escort that there was a visitor coming to the door. At this hour, it happened that his family had already prepared a lunch table for guests, so Gu Wenxuan simply went to the outer courtyard to welcome the two brothers Zhao Dalang and have a meal together.
"Are you at home today?" The first time he saw Gu Wenxuan approaching Youzaiyouzai, Zhao Dalang couldn't help teasing, "Why don't you go out?"
"I've already done everything I need to do." After saying that, seeing Zhao Sanlang rolling his eyes, Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but smile, "When you two brothers come, I'm both at home."
"You are a brother enough!"
"Where's your elder brother?"
"I went to the medical clinic in town early in the morning."
"It's better that you two brothers can hold on." Zhao Dalang sighed with emotion. He didn't believe that the Gu family had not received news from the city yet.
There was a lot of commotion in the city yesterday, so there was no need to send anyone to inquire. The Gu family's concierge in the city could not hear that something happened at the Qian Mansion not far away.
Thinking of this, Zhao Dalang was just about to ask Gu Wenxuan if he knew that the Qian Mansion was sealed by the Yamen, when he saw Gu Wenxuan stumbling and said, "Where are we? We are not outsiders. We can just sit in any room here."
< br>
"Just ahead, not far." Even if it's not possible to go to the backyard, you can't have tea and dinner at the gate. Gu Wenxuan said while pointing to the front hall.
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
Some days have passed, and some rare but inexpensive ornaments have been added to the front hall of Yuyuan, adding a bit of unique nobility to the solemn atmosphere.
As soon as I stepped into the hall, I smelled an elegant aroma. I could see the long white smoke rising from the incense burner. On the tea table was the tea set that the servant had just placed, and the fragrance of tea was lingering.
Obviously, these were specially prepared for the arrival of the two brothers. Zhao Dalang took his seat and waited for the servant to pour tea and then retired. He asked Gu Wenxuan with a smile, "Do you know that my two brothers will come?"
Gu Wenxuan didn't want to hide that he had learned what happened in the city this morning. He extended his hand to invite the two Zhao brothers to drink tea and said with a smile, "You, I didn't guess. There is such a big thing happening outside, don't you?" I can definitely come, but Third Brother will definitely come if he has time today, I know for sure.”
"Oh, what do you say?"
"You are the eldest son, Brother Zhao. How else would it be so easy to be the eldest son? Look at my eldest brother. No matter what happens, it is my eldest brother who takes the initiative.
Besides, the inside information Third Brother knows in the Yamen is definitely more reliable than any rumors outside. He can come and give me some advice now that he is free, right, Third Brother? ”
Zhao Sanlang really wanted to say that he just wanted to be a mute with ears, and it took too much effort to talk to Gu Liulang. Every time he chatted, he was caught in a few words by Gu Liulang.
No, he even said "points to mention".
"If you don't take advantage of someone who is one or two years younger than me, I will suffer a big loss if you act like your brother," Zhao Sanlang said with a smile and glared at Gu Wenxuan fiercely.
Gu Wenxuan immediately turned around and encouraged Zhao Dalang, "Look at him, he is being mean to me again. You are the boss, and the mistress is disobedient. Why don't you help me scold him?"
Zhao Dalang laughed.
"Whoever dares to praise you as a gentleman in front of me again, I will slap him on the ear!" Zhao Sanlang stretched his legs and couldn't kick Gu Wenxuan, so he grabbed a chestnut and threw it at him.
Gu Wenxuan reacted very quickly, reached out and grabbed the chestnut, and joked, "Is this impatient? Uncle Sun praised me a lot. Do you want to take it back?" (End of Chapter)
