Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Chapter 73 An Embarrassing Official Young Master!
Old Master Tai untied the small cloth bag from his waist, took out a pinch of shredded tobacco and refilled it for the elder brother, and then said, "Third brother, don't worry, I have inquired around the city, although it is all gossip, but it is enough It can be seen that the Zheng family's character and conduct are good."

Third Master Tai was relieved a little, lit the tobacco, took a big puff, and asked, "It's not a bad person, but this family is so kind to our family, is there anything you want to ask us?"

"I guess I just want to move around more often in the future." Mr. Tai simply said what he had heard in the city.

"The wife of the Zheng family is surnamed Chen. She is a local girl, but her parents passed away early, and she has always lived with her younger brother. Later, she married a poor scholar and became a daughter-in-law. The poor scholar then passed the Juren examination and went to the south after donating an official. up.

"Madam Zheng is not in good health, and it is not easy to live here with her son. Fortunately, her younger brother has a very good business and has no family. He takes care of their mother and son, and lives a very prosperous life.

"Presumably, this time when Young Master Zheng was kidnapped, Mrs. Zheng was frightened. After finally finding the child, she felt grateful to our family as her savior."

Third Master Tai nodded repeatedly and said with emotion, "No wonder, this Young Master Zheng is really a one-man seedling! Fortunately nothing happened, otherwise Mrs. Zheng might not be able to survive either."

"Isn't that right? Our family is prosperous, and Young Master Zheng and Zhuzhu share weal and woe together. I'm afraid Mrs. Zheng wants her children to visit the house more often." Mr. Tai thought of the hidden meaning of Butler Zheng's words, and also Let me give my brother a heads up in advance.

Sure enough, Mr. Tai was very happy and said, "Of course we are happy if they are willing to come."

But then he became worried again, "We are a bunch of mud legs, don't know how to be polite, will we neglect the official young master?"

"Probably not," the old man saw more clearly and said with a smile, "Mr. Zheng was an official abroad and took his mother away, leaving only his wife and children in his hometown. I'm afraid there is something wrong with it.

"Young Master Zheng is the young master of the official family, but the uncle he relies on is also a merchant, so it is probably awkward and uncomfortable to walk among rich and noble people on weekdays.

"If he comes to us, just treat him like an ordinary child, there will be nothing wrong."

Third Master Tai also figured it out, and sighed, "These noble people may not be happy with their lives."

The two old brothers sighed a few words, then went out to watch the villagers work.

At lunch, Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang brought out a large bowl of sorghum rice porridge and stewed pork with radish and cabbage.

Although there is very little pork, not even a pound of meat can be picked out of a large pot, but the soup for the stew is made from large bones.

Seeing the oily flowers floating in the bowl, the villagers were very satisfied.

The old man was afraid that they would get it right, so he kept beating.

"These days, we can't officially start construction yet. Everyone comes to work and only has one meal at noon! After eating, work for a while and then go home. Don't wait to take advantage at night!

"Even if your sixth uncle's family has mountains of gold and silver, you can't help but waste it like this! If you want to eat something good, just wait a few days before you come back after the official work, and keep the wine and food well then!"

The villagers responded with a smile, but they were not angry.

First of all, the food is really good, and I can't eat it at home.

Second, this meal is full!Even if you only eat one meal at noon, you will not be hungry for a whole day!

Mr. Tai knew that his elder brother was doing it for the good of their family, so he smiled and said nothing.

When the tribe gathers together, there are many people and many thoughts. One must be a good person and the other pretend to be a bad person, so as to ensure that there will be no trouble.

Otherwise, I don't know how many more Tai Jicang will appear.

After eating and being busy for a while, Third Master Tai took everyone back.

Tai Jizu finally seized the opportunity to ask his father in a low voice.

"Father, is someone plotting against our family again?"

Mr. Tai frowned, nodded slightly, and responded, "It should be, but this person is hiding very deep, and we still can't catch his tail. We can only take good care of Zhuzhu and the family in the future, especially when building a house is busy, don't be caught again. This man finds an opportunity to do evil."

Tai Jizu nodded, hating him fiercely, "If I catch this man one day, I will kill him and bury him in the field as fertilizer!"

The old man was also depressed, but he didn't expect to find out this person easily after years of scheming behind his back.

Furthermore, this time he also lost his granddaughter carelessly, if he really wanted to blame him, he was the culprit!
Tai Jizu was not very smart, but he was really filial. He immediately saw what his father was thinking and quickly changed his words.

"Father, the second brother has been out for half a day. I wonder if he has found someone?"

As soon as the words fell, Tai Jizong rushed back by coincidence, followed by Tai Jiye.

I have to say that raising a son was really hard, but when he grows up, he is also a good helper.

The old man took his children and grandchildren together, and it only took about half a day. The site was circled, the craftsmen were found, the bricks, tiles and stone materials were all settled, and the construction was just waiting to start. It was incredible that it went smoothly.

The Tai Jizu brothers were happy, but the old man felt a little unsure.

After dinner, Yang Lihua led the boys to keep accounts and arrange income and expenditure.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue have a monkey temper, but they have grown a lot with Tai Jiye during this period.

Now, one of them likes to deal with people, and the other likes money. They don't need to be urged, and they take the initiative to study hard.

Yang Lihua taught them step by step how to record the accounts, calculate the abacus, and sort out the surplus. In the end, she was very happy and said to her family, "These two boys learned very quickly. There is no need to worry about them having nothing to eat in the future. Just go out and pick up a load and walk around the village." It’s enough to support a family.”

The old man hugged his granddaughter and was removing the Luban lock, which Tai Jizong brought back to his little niece today. Zhuzhu's chubby hands were a little clumsy, so she asked her grandfather to help from time to time.

Hearing this, the old man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what they do when they grow up, as long as they can eat enough with their own strength. In a few years, I will drive them out to open their eyes, and maybe they will get lucky. It would be better to bring back a few cartloads of gold and silver."

Everyone laughed, and Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue also winked at each other and started fighting.

Tai Yongan still had the old idea, and begged as usual, "Grandpa, after the house is built, find me a master. I want to learn martial arts, okay?"

The old man remembered the day when the kidnapper was caught, and the eldest grandson made a brave move, so it was rare that he didn't refuse, and said vaguely, "Okay, we'll see when the time comes."

Tai Yong'an, a real person, immediately went crazy with joy, jumped into the yard and went to wave his precious wooden stick.

Sesame Ball was lying under the eaves, drowsy, digesting the bones in his stomach, when he was suddenly awakened, barking twice angrily.

Instead, the big black horse stood in the shed, eating the hay unhurriedly, snorting its nose from time to time.

Tai Yongning sat at the low table by the window, flipping through the new book with admiration, completely unaware of what his family members said.

The family is poor, and the books are ridiculously expensive. After studying for several years, he only has two enlightenment books that have been flipped through.

Therefore, the box of new books sent by the Zheng family the day before yesterday was like giving a rat a jar of food, and he was as happy as a dream!
The old man looked at this, looked at that, and asked in a low voice when he was walking around with his granddaughter in his arms.

"Zhuzhu, is there still black air on our family's head?"
