Chapter 69 An Undeniable Thank You Gift!
On the dirt road at the entrance of the village, a group of people and horses came from afar, including five or six large and small carts, and many people were beating gongs and drums. It was so lively.

"Oh, it seems that they are rushing to our village!"

"Yes, yes, there are quite a few people, what happened?"

"It shouldn't be a bad thing, right?"

The villagers were talking about it, and the convoy gradually approached.

Tai Jiye had sharp eyes and immediately recognized that the leader was actually the housekeeper from last night.

He hurried up to greet him, and greeted with a smile, "Brother Butler, why are you here? We have just arrived home, and we are still wondering what happened to our young master!"

"Oh, Brother Tai, it's so easy for me to find you here!" The butler was short and fat, with a smiling face. He was wearing gray clothes and a small hat, and actually had a wide red belt tied around his waist. The tidying up was very neat and festive.

He grabbed Tai Jiye's hand and thanked him repeatedly.

"If your family hadn't discovered the kidnapper last night and rescued our young master, something serious would have happened to our Zheng family!
"Our wife is ill, and it will be much better to see the young master back home safely. As soon as I got over this morning, my wife and the young master hurriedly told us to prepare things, and then asked me to deliver them.

"If it wasn't for Madam who still can't get up, I can't live without Young Master, and our Young Master has to come over in person to thank you!"

"Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome!" Tai Jiye refused to take credit, "It's also your young master who is blessed with great fortune. We are just doing a favor. Besides, your young master is kind-hearted and takes good care of my little niece. , our family is also very grateful.”

While talking, Mr. Tai and others also came close.

Butler Zheng kept his posture extremely low, he was polite when he saw people, and he was full of words of gratitude.

The villagers were all happy, and Mr. Tai and Mr. Tai even invited him into the house for tea.

Butler Zheng naturally would not refuse and welcomed the two old men into the village and arrived at the Tai family yard.

For a while, Yang Lihua served the tea herself.

Butler Zheng drank half the glass and asked, "I wonder where our lady is? Our young master is very concerned about her and has been asking me to bring a lot of good things to her alone."

The old man hurriedly waved his hands, "My Zhuzhu is a little farm girl, but she can't bear the word "Miss". Young Master Zheng is also polite! This child is probably tired, and he just fell asleep, so it's not easy to scream now..."

"No, no need!" Butler Zheng said immediately, "Miss Zhuzhu was frightened after all, so it would be good for her to sleep a little longer. I grabbed two pieces of tranquilizing medicine from the city this time. If necessary, I can boil the medicine soup for Zhuzhu. If Miss Zhu drinks it, she will sleep more soundly and recover faster.”

After finishing speaking, he took out another gift list from his arms and held it to Mr. Tai with both hands.

"Old man, my wife is sick in bed, and the old man is away all year round, so I can't come to thank you in person. Our wife is very sorry, and specially prepared a thank you gift, I hope the old man will not dislike it."

The old man didn’t want it, so he quickly declined.

"Steward Zheng, it's really easy for us to rescue your young master. After all, anyone who loses a child is worried, right? We didn't go out of our way to help, but we can't afford these good things."

Although the old man didn't know what was written on the gift list, there were five or six cars parked outside the door, so there was definitely something missing!
Butler Zheng was in a hurry, and explained repeatedly, "The old man can't refuse, don't look at the many things, in fact, I choose to live a practical life, there is nothing fancy. And there is a pig and two bags of fine noodles, which our young master specially ordered to give Miss Zhuzhu’s, it is said that the family steamed buns for Miss Zhuzhu to eat!
"If I take it back, our young master will probably be angry because I can't do my errands. Please take pity on me, don't let me get scolded."

After that, he glanced at the people outside and added in a low voice, "The most valuable thing among them is 200 taels of silver, which our wife must add to it. The old man should collect it quickly, don't let outsiders see it and cause trouble." .”

The Zheng family has considered all aspects and never gave the Tai family a chance to refuse.

The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and after thinking about it, he said, "Well, our family deserves it. Our two families got acquainted because of this dangerous situation, so we will often walk around in the future. If you need help from our family, you are welcome .”

"Haha, don't worry, old man. Don't tell me, our young master will definitely come and walk around frequently, and there will be more opportunities to help each other in the future." Zheng Steward quickly responded.

It has to be said that the stewards of rich and noble families are able to speak, and how people listen to them makes them feel comfortable.

For a moment, after a few more polite words, everyone walked out.

In just one cup of tea, the outside of the courtyard was already overcrowded.

Not only all the old and young in the village gathered together, but there were also people from Liujia Village to watch the fun, and Zhangjia Village in front also came to watch the excitement...

"What kind of happy event is this? How come there is a team to give gifts?"

"Yes, yes, with so many cars, how many good things must be loaded!"

"I'm rich enough to open a shop!"

Everyone was looking around with their legs crossed, eager to see everything clearly.

Naturally, the word envy was also prevalent in everyone's hearts.

When Steward Zheng saw this, he immediately asked the boy and the coachman to unload the things.

First a pig was lifted from the cart, of course it had been killed, and a red silk bouquet was tied on the pig's head.

Then came ten bags of white rice, ten bags of millet, ten bags of sorghum rice, and ten bags of fine noodles.

Six jars of vegetable oil, six boxes of tea leaves, six jars of candied dried fruits of various colors, and six jars of fine salt!
Six pieces of each color of muslin, and six boxes of each color of needlework.

Six sets of paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and a box of new books.

In addition, there are tea sets, complete sets of bowls, chopsticks and plates...

Butler Zheng really didn't lie, all he brought was food and use, and he chose it carefully.And it can pass through the eyes of outsiders, but it won't cause trouble to the Tai family.

Of course, in the end there were two small boxes mixed in the basket and sent into the house together.

But even so, in the eyes of the Zheng family, the practical and cheap things still made everyone in front of the door dumbfounded and their eyes turned red with envy...

Each of these things, taken individually, is worth several taels of silver. Together they are worth at least a hundred taels!

The Tai family is getting rich again!

Thinking about it carefully, the Tai family has been really lucky these past few months.

How come one good thing after another, it's like queuing up and rushing to find it!

Why don't I have one at home, not one at all!

Some people were panting so hard that their eyeballs were stuck to those baskets and they couldn't wait to take them off!
Old Master Tai saw it, and pretended he didn't know, he was only polite to Steward Zheng, taking advantage of the fact that outsiders couldn't hear him, he asked Steward Zheng to say a few more words.

"Steward Zheng, I don't know how the county government will deal with it?"

Butler Zheng thought he was worried about the kidnapper's serious injury and comforted him, "Don't worry, old man, our uncle is a well-connected man, and he had some friendship with the county magistrate before. However, our uncle is away from home, but the county magistrate Your Majesty will always protect you. So, you don’t have to worry about it, these kidnappers deserve what they get."

Grandpa Tai nodded, and lowered his voice to ask for one thing.
