next day
Since relatives and elders would still come over, Zhang Jiulin was notified yesterday, and someone would drive a carriage to pick him up at dawn.

Wang Shuyan was surprised when he saw that it was Zhao Qian who came to pick up Yuan Zheng: "Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Qian smiled and said to Wang Shuyan: "I am just taking a rest. The governor asked me to take him to eat, drink and have fun for two days. Sister Yan, don't worry."

Xu was very happy to be suddenly asked to take a break. Although he had to take care of a little boy, he didn't mind at all.

Zhang Jiulin's move was really bold, but seeing that Zhao Qian did not recognize that Xiao Yuan was the kidnapped prisoner, Wang Shuyan said nothing and said to the panicked Xiao Yuanzheng: "Ah Zheng, I'm sorry for you to stay out of the way for now." .”

Xiao Yuan grabbed her sleeve corner and asked nervously in a low voice: "Then...can I come back?"

Seeing that he still looked distrustful, Wang Shuyan touched his little head and said with a smile, "Where else can you go if you don't come back?"

I cursed in my heart: Your uncle Lin won't take you to the Guotong Houfu.

When Xiao Yuan heard what she said, he smiled at her and arched his eyebrows.

Wang Shuyan was stunned for a moment. She didn't know if she was used to it, but she actually thought he was more handsome than Erlang and Sanlang. She couldn't help but kiss his fair little face and laughed loudly: "Azheng is also more and more handsome." It’s getting better and better.”

Then he gave him a small silver ingot and told him: "Listen carefully to Brother Zhao, don't run around, and buy it if you see something you like."

Today, Xiao Yuanzheng was wearing the clothes that Zhang Jiulin had originally prepared for him. It looked simple but was of excellent workmanship. It turned out that the withered yellow crow hair was tied up in a crown. Although it was only high on Wang Shuyan's chest when he stood in front of Wang Shuyan, it could not conceal his noble family. The demeanor of a young master.

Because he was kissed by Sister Wang for no reason, Xiao Yuan blushed on the spot. He looked at the money in his hand and asked, "Then I saw the gift I want to give you, can I buy it?"

Wang Shuyan waved his hand: "Buy."

……

Because the whole village knew about the Wang family's debt demand yesterday, and because Zhang was temporarily ill, Wang Shuyan and a group of old Lei Gong came to explain that house building had been suspended for three days.

"Okay, it happens that weeding is also needed in the fields. A few helpers talked about it two days ago." Old Lei Gong said again: "I have heard about your family. Sister Yan takes good care of Madam Zhang. Just ask if I can help, we are all from this village, there is no need to be so open-minded."

Old Lei Gong lives far to the west of the village. Yesterday, when he learned that the Wang family was being demanded by a gambling shop with a knife at knifepoint, he was going to lead a few men to come over with hoes to help. Halfway through, he learned that an official had intervened and Wang Fu's matter had been resolved. That's why he didn't come running aggressively.

Fangzikou Village is different from other villages in that it has the same surname. There are thirteen surnames and thirteen ancestral halls in this village. They are all villages formed by the continuous gathering of tribes due to wars and natural disasters for decades.

Because there are many surnames, there are many people in the same village who are married. Over the past few decades, the number of households has grown from less than 20 to more than [-]. Each clan has NO. [-] people. The development and growth are intertwined. There is no need to get married to other villages.

Although there are also families who return to their original villages to return to their roots, not many of them leave as long as they have established families here.

Therefore, as long as you are a native of this village, you don’t have to worry about being bullied by people from other villages.

The Wang family is a family that has moved away. After all, they have been away for many years and only come back once a year. The relationship with the village is somewhat alienated.Old Lei Gong's words were sincere, which naturally made Wang Shuyan feel grateful: "When work resumes, please invite more Old Lei Gong to come over and build the house quickly so that I can treat you to a meal."

During the time I had been in contact with him, Master Lei was just like what Li Zheng said. He was hard at work and not sloppy, and he was also warm-hearted.

Old Lei Gong laughed very helpfully: "Okay, okay, I'll go look for a few more."

Wang Shuyan thought for a while and then said: "Master Lei, I'll start with my ugly words. I'm a person with a bad temper. I don't want the helper I called this time to talk nonsense. You've also seen the situation in my family. I'm fine with gossiping recently." Pretend that you can't hear me, but if I really hear you, it will be difficult to offend you, right?"

Last night, Aunt Su heard that Mr. Zhang was ill and came over specially. She also told her the recent gossip in the village.

After hearing this, Wang Shuyan remembered those two pairs of broken shoes. The population in the village was mixed, and the village women in the market were careless. They liked to throw dirty water on you if you were not careful. When you stand up, you are serious. If you feel unhappy, you will immediately hide behind you. It's true to stab you.

Aunt Su didn't say anything at first because she thought the scolding was unpleasant. She couldn't ask about the situation of Zhang and Li Zheng riding in the carriage together. She asked Wang Shuyan politely, and then she learned that Li was sitting outside that day, and Zhang's mother and daughter were inside. , and on that day, Li Zheng led him to the village clan to organize the 'righteousness', so he cursed and said: "It's really a dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory. If you see it, you will add extravagance to it."

Wang Shuyan didn't want Mrs. Zhang to be irritated again, so she told Old Lei Gong that someone had thrown broken shoes at home early in the morning in the past two days. Then she placed two pairs of broken shoes in front of him and said calmly: "Uncle Li Zheng is also unlucky. We went to the village clan to do something, and we were involved, and I don’t know if he knew about it.”

The people who came to work were all punctual. At this time, not only the master and apprentice of Old Lei Gong were there, but also the men from several other villages. Their faces changed slightly when they saw the worn shoes.

When Old Lei Gong saw the two pairs of worn shoes, he said, "I'm really busy scratching my head. I'm not very efficient at work, but I have a lot of dirty tricks to curse people."

Two of the men, whose mothers-in-law had participated in the gossip, felt guilty. They were deeply afraid that they would lose this rare and lucrative job because of their mothers-in-law's nonsense, so they laughed and persuaded: "These are all unintentional words, Sister Yan, please don't Don’t worry.”

Before Wang Shuyan could speak, Old Lei Gong scolded him: "If your shoes are found in your home, do you think your mother-in-law will jump up and find someone to scold her?"

The man suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

Wang Shuyan did not talk to the worker, but politely said to the person in charge, Mr. Lei: "Master Lei, I am a junior person who speaks softly. My mother is ill now. I will not tell her such nonsense, but Uncle Li Zheng I have to think about whether to tell him or not."

Upon hearing this, two of the men quickly advised: "Why don't you bother to deal with such a trivial matter?"

Wang Shuyan smiled: "But the rumors are all related to Uncle Li Zheng!"

The two men were stunned for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

Old Lei Gong was also in a bit of trouble. Logically speaking, no one would expose such a trivial matter to Li Zheng, but involving others would also have an impact on his prestige. He was being gossiped about inexplicably, and it was inappropriate to come out to shock him. It doesn't seem right either.

Wang Shuyan continued: "Actually, this is what I think. Whoever sent these shoes can come and take them back. I can pretend not to know, otherwise I will leave them to Uncle Li Zheng. I found that I still have these shoes." What's the mark? Uncle Li Zheng should be able to see it.

As long as I don't catch this kind of thing on the spot, we can still maintain peace. But someone has to control the public opinion in time, either Uncle Li Zheng comes forward, or an elder comes forward.If these ugly words reach my mother's ears, then don't blame me for doing something ugly. Frankly speaking to Master Lei, I don't want you to do anything difficult in the future. "(End of chapter)
