Chapter 181 Exile
Wang Zhuangzhi was afraid that he would not come, so he urged him again: "Come when you are free. Uncle Wang has done a lot of business now, and he is not short of these few fish money. You don't have to worry about spending money. Uncle Wang will be angry if you don't come." .”
The corner of Meng Jun's mouth rose, and he nodded helplessly, "Don't hide, just go when you have time."
Wang Zhuangzhi nodded with a smile, "Oh, that's good, then Uncle and Aunt Wang are waiting for you at home."
Wang Zhuangzhi sincerely wanted to repay his kindness. If Meng Jun hadn't taken him out of the Zhao family's dungeon, he might have been beaten to death long ago.
"Boss Meng is busy, I won't delay you." Wang Zhuangzhi said while stuffing two red fish to Meng Jun.
Meng Jun was still busy going back to the yamen to deal with matters, so he got on the horse with the red fish in his hand, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, Uncle Wang, Zhao Er was handed over to the Ministry of Punishment yesterday, and today the documents are sent to the western wasteland. The wicked will be tortured by the wicked, so you can feel better."
Wang Zhuangzhi looked at him in disbelief, and stammered, "You mean, is this true?"
Meng Jun nodded and said, "I personally followed the escort to the Ministry of Punishment. The documents were delivered to the county magistrate's mansion early in the morning. I just rushed back from the county magistrate's mansion. It is absolutely true."
"Great, that's how the villains deserve to end up!"
Regarding the matter of Zhao Er, Zhao Shen found out the evidence of his younger brother buying and selling official salt, and reported it voluntarily. Tens of thousands of taels of silver, except for the loss of money, at least saved the Zhao family, and Zhao Shen did not have much influence.
This matter will be considered over.
...
On the way to Xiaoshu Village,
Wang Zhuangzhi was very happy, he knew everything about Qiu Sheng's inquiry, and he told all the big and small things that happened at home.
When Qiu Sheng learned of all this, he was in a state of shock.
He is only away from school these days. The red fish raised by his younger sister and younger brother has become the signature dish of the big restaurant. It's very hot...how is this like a dream.
"Father, why didn't mother come with them?" Qiu Sheng asked.
In the past, when he went to Muxiu, his father came to the town to pick him up, and the whole family would follow him to buy things. Usually, the younger brothers and sisters like to come to the town most, but today it is rare that none of them came.
Wang Zhuangzhi smiled when he heard this, and explained: "Your mother and Jiaojiao went up to the mountain to collect herbs, and Erya and Xiaoli were busy worrying about the fish in the pond every morning, grinding herbs and putting them in fish food every morning, and in the afternoon Feeding and changing the water, and watching the fish give birth, the two of them can do more than me and your mother now."
Hearing this, Qiu Sheng also had a smile on his lips, and said: "Erya has always been capable, but now she has led Xiao Li to become a little helper, mother must be happy."
"No, your mother is doting on Xiao Li now. She has to warm up goat's milk every night, and she sewed a new pair of shoes last night. I'm surprised that she will praise Xiao Li more in the future." Wang Zhuangzhi smiled and shook his head, not knowing why the lady suddenly became enlightened.
Qiu Sheng laughed when he heard this, "It must be because I am happy to have made money."
"The money is all in Erya Xiaoli's own hands. Your mother is happy because Xiaoli has changed a lot. Now he can read and write. Sometimes he falls asleep with a book on his face at night. He has all the books in your room." Take it to see."
After listening to his father, Qiu Sheng was taken aback. The books in his room were all in ancient Chinese, and there were no vernacular books, yet Xiao Li could understand them.
It is clear that Xiao Li was very tired of studying before, not only he couldn't remember to pick up a pen and he couldn't copy it, but now it has changed.
Thinking of this, Qiu Sheng became a little excited. Doesn't that mean that his younger brother is not stupid, and that he will be able to study in school in the future and take part in the exam to get a ranking.
Thinking of this, Qiu Sheng hurriedly said: "Father, since Xiao Li has such a talent, why not send him to school."
Xiao Li happened to be eight years old this year, at this age he was able to enter the children's class in the school, and now he was still in the school, so he could help take care of him.
"I told your mother about this, but Xiao Li is so preoccupied with pond affairs now that he doesn't want to go to school, so he just wants to wait until spring next year." Wang Zhuangzhi shook his head helplessly.
Hearing this, Qiu Sheng could only nod his head, and replied: "Then let me, Muxiu, come back to teach him, buy some suitable books for him, lay the foundation in advance, and come to school later."
"This relationship is good, you two brothers will help each other in the future..."
...
The father and son chatted and hurried along the way, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Xiaoshu Village.
At this hour, people were working in the fields, but there were not many people on the road.
At this time, an old man basking in the sun in the corner recognized Wang Zhuangzhi who was driving, and hurriedly waved and shouted: "Zhuangzhi, it's really a coincidence that you came here. Your mother and the others came here yesterday afternoon, probably because there is no one in your house." , and drove off again.”
Wang Zhuangzhi froze when he heard it. He hadn't contacted him for so many years, and the relationship was almost broken. What are you doing here now?
The old woman got up, walked over tremblingly with a walking stick, and continued: "Your mother doesn't look old at all, your second child is also here, and the clothes and jewelry worn by the whole family are all golden. If you go along If you can enjoy happiness, your children will suffer less."
Wang Zhuangzhi felt it was ridiculous when he heard it. Looking at the much older Granny Pan in front of him, he remembered that Xiao Li seemed to have said that Granny Pan once helped him drive away those children who bullied him.
Wang Zhuangzhi took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the old man, sighing: "Fu is not so easy to enjoy, Aunt Li, save it and buy a basket of eggs to eat, I'll go first."
Granny Pan hurriedly refused: "Oh, take it back quickly, I can't go anywhere with my old arms and legs, and it's useless to ask for money. You keep it for your children."
Wang Zhuangzhi said: "Keep it, and let the grandson run errands for you."
Wang Zhuangzhi drove away, Granny Pan clutched the copper coins and sighed: "The people in the village are evil, what an honest family, they were forced out."
...
Wang Zhuangzhi drove to the door of Aunt Liu's house, but the door was locked, and it seemed that someone was not at home.
Just at this moment, a man with a hoe came over.
Seeing a man in rich clothes standing at the door of Liu's house, he smiled and shouted: "Gentlemen, it's not a coincidence that you came here. Aunt Liu and Laoxiu Liu left in a carriage early in the morning. They presumably went to visit their grandson."
Wang Zhuangzhi turned around, the man was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, stepped forward to take a closer look in disbelief, and said in amazement: "Oh, who was my nobleman at that time, it turned out to be Wang Zhuangzhi."
Wang Zhuangzhi frowned slightly. This person used to like to mock people the most, so he didn't answer his words.
When Aunt Liu's family was away, he prepared to leave.
As soon as he took a step, the man stopped him, looked Wang Zhuangzhi up and down and said, "Tsk tsk, look at how flamboyant these clothes are, ouch, your shoes are not cheap, right? Where are you going to get rich, and bring your little brother with you."
