Chapter 257
Si Qing didn't take it seriously: "We picked up this peacock. If it weren't for us, they couldn't find a tribute in their lifetime, and they didn't even have time to thank us. How could they arrest us?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

If it weren't for Qiongqi, the peacock might have been eaten by some wild animal long ago in the sheep mountain. No matter how powerful those officials are, they wouldn't be able to find the peacock again, right?

Thinking about it this way, they really have to thank their aunt.

"Besides, it's not like you can't put back the clipped tail feathers." Si Qing looked at the peacock with its bare buttocks, and rolled its black eyes.

It seems that another good thing has been thought of.

Mrs. Zhao didn't pay attention to her expression, but was a little surprised: "Ah? This cut tail feather, can you put it back?"

"Yes." Si Qing nodded, but didn't say how to take it back.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but asked again: "Grandma, should we take it back?"

"No, they only said they would take away the peacock, but they didn't say they would take away the tail feathers too." She didn't do the buy one get one free thing.

"..." Mrs. Zhao wanted to say, isn't that tail feather also from the peacock?

But if you think about it carefully, it's fine not to pretend, anyway, today the officials have already seen that the peacock has no tail feathers. If there are more tail feathers tomorrow, wouldn't it be obvious that they cut the tail feathers?
At that time, the charge of damaging the tribute without authorization will be thrown down, let alone the benefits, and the head may not be saved.

Li Daya thought the same way, so no one in the room mentioned taking Wei Yu back.

In this way, the peacock was left with Secretary Si.

Si Qing looked at the limp peacock, thinking that it was about to bring a mountain of benefits, so he waved his hand and asked Li Daya to burn a prosperous charcoal fire in the next room.

Put the hood on, make the room warm, and put the peacock in.

Sure enough, as soon as the peacock entered the warm room, he immediately became more energetic.

Then Si Qing directed Li Daya to get some food for the peacock, trying to make the peacock feel refreshed and have a more beautiful fur, so that it could be changed tomorrow.

Another busy day has passed.

At dinner, Si Qing drank the fish head tofu soup in the bowl, thought for a while, raised his head and asked Li Daya: "Why is Xiao He's cooking these two days, and Wu's? Si Xizhu Si Xiaocong Why didn't you come?"

"Grandma, Mrs. Wu took Si Xizhu, Si Xiaocong, and the others back to her natal family for the funeral. She told you, don't you remember?" Li Daya replied.

"Is there?" Si Qing frowned, tilted his head and thought for a while.

Finally remembered that three days ago, Wu Shi did come to talk to her, but at that time she was meditating in the house, Wu Shi talked to her outside the door, and she didn't listen carefully at all.

I think this is what she should have said that day?
Si Qing pouted and asked, "Then when will she come back?"

Xiao He's cooking is so homely that she is a little tired.

"It may take a few more days. I heard from people in the village that Aunt Wu's family is quite far from our place." Li Daya said uncertainly.

In fact, she didn't even know where Wu's natal family was. Anyway, in her memory, Wu shi had never been back to her natal family, and no one from her natal family had visited her.

That day, Mrs. Wu rushed to find her aunt in a hurry, and told her that she was going out for a while, and asked her to take good care of her aunt.

Only then did she know that the Wu family has a family, but they haven't been in contact with each other these years, and she doesn't know if it's because of a bad relationship or because they are too far away.

"Okay." When Si Qing heard this, he was a little sluggish.
