Chapter 207 Finding out the truth (4 more

Grandma Zhu quickly brought a yellow dog over.

Pass it to Zhu Xiao.

"Hey, this is it!"

"Thank you Granny Zhu!" Zhu Xiao took the dog and carried it home.

Grandma Zhu was stunned.

Just leave like this?He didn't exchange a few words with her, or say a few bitter words, or complain about Lu Shi's evil deeds.

Without saying anything, he just left.

Grandma Zhu looked at Zhu Xiao's figure walking slowly in the snow, with her back straight, as if the world was nothing to her.

She suddenly remembered those famous ladies in Beijing.

But those people are all piled up with thousands of dollars, this is just a country girl, how can she have such a character?

Zhu Xiao carried the dog to the door of the house, opened the door and went in.

Zhu Zhaodi came over with hot water.

"Little you are back!"

Looking at the puppy in Zhu Xiao's arms, Zhu Zhaodi liked it so much that she held the basin under her arm and reached out to pet it.

"Is this male or female?"

"Men, our family needs a dog to guard the house, the male dog is fierce!"

"Well, hurry up and show Hua'er, dad is awake too, I'll get him some water to wash him, and let him eat some porridge!"

Zhu Xiao approached Zhu Zhaodi, "Father, go to the latrine, can you handle it yourself?"

"Yes, Hua'er and I helped him there. It's convenient for him. When he recovers, we'll help him out again. But it seems to be very painful, and sweat is on his forehead. I checked, and the wound is not open!"

"That's false. Eat better in the future, and you'll make up for it. I'll go to the village to see who sells old hens. I'll buy some old hens!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhaodi hesitated, "Xiao Xiao, we just moved out and went shopping, wouldn't it be good?"

"..."

Zhu Xiao thinks about it carefully, what Zhu Zhaodi said is also reasonable, but life is always going on.

"It's okay to buy three or five chickens. At worst, I'll go to the patriarch's house and ask the patriarch to borrow money!"

"..."

Zhu Zhaodi blinked.

"Ask the patriarch to borrow money?"

"That's right, go ask the patriarch to borrow money, then our money will have a source, and no one will doubt what we buy, right!"

"That's the truth!"

When Zhu Huaer saw the puppy, she hugged it happily and kept stroking the dog's head.

She wanted to have a dog since she was a child, but she couldn't even eat enough for herself in Zhu's house, so there was no talk of keeping a dog.

Zhu Erlang leaned against the head of the bed, with a thick quilt behind him, Zhu Zhaodi washed his face and wiped his hands, while Zhu Xiao was thinking about how to speak when he went to the patriarch's house.

She has the confidence to borrow money from Xun Muyang, but Zhu Xiao really doesn't have the confidence to go to the patriarch's house.

And she still has money.

If she didn't buy what Zhu Zongbao had, she would be considered a rich woman.

After eating porridge, Zhu Erlang felt much better.

Looking at the happy youngest daughter, the gentle and considerate eldest daughter, and the second daughter who is in charge of the family, he feels that life like this is worth it.

"Little!"

"Father?" Zhu Xiao looked back at Zhu Erlang.

"Are you worried? But there is no money?"

Zhu Xiao shook her head, "No, I was just thinking about how to use the money so as not to be talked about!"

Zhu Erlang thought for a while, and then said, "Xiao Xiao, we will be talked about no matter what, live a more comfortable life, buy whatever you want when you have money, and use it however you want. Now we and You don’t have anything to do with the Zhu family, you don’t have to care so much, even if you don’t use it, you will attract gossip from others, but if you walk around with the villagers and let them see your bright and cheerful side, it’s much better than shrinking back!”

"what?"

Zhu Erlang's thoughts coincided with hers.

"I listen to dad!"

Zhu Xiao took the money and went out.

Since she is living a life, she should not be too arrogant, and ask people to buy something in a low-key manner. No one should talk nonsense, especially those who sell things to her.

Besides, the silly father didn't hand over the money he made for four months to Lu Shi. This trip to the county town cost him 30 taels of silver. Just this alone can stop many people from talking.

When asked, they would say that her father made the money.

Zhu Xiao entered the village and knocked on the door of a decent-looking house, which should be rich.

"you?"

"Auntie, let me ask, do you have hens for sale? I want to buy some hens for laying eggs!"

"Yes, there are, but the weather is still cold now, and the hens don't lay much eggs, and even if they do, they lay few eggs. If you see it, I will catch you a few and let my son give you some!" The woman looked at Zhu Xiao's face.

A good girl, why is she so ugly?
"I'll make a decision first, and when the house is packed in a few days, come and get it yourself!" Zhu Xiaodao.

"That's okay. How many do you want? A hen is basically a hundred yuan a piece, and a rooster is a little cheaper, seventy yuan. But if you just buy hens, you will definitely not be able to do it. You have to raise a few roosters!"

Zhu Xiao made the calculations, "Then buy eight hens and three roosters, can I count a tael of silver for me?"

"Okay, okay, that's it!"

The woman is just very happy.

The new year is about to start, and chicks can be hatched again, and it will be the same when they are raised.

One tael of silver, eleven chickens.

Zhu Xiao suddenly felt that buying something in Zhu Zongbao's hands for 1 taels was a big loss.

On the way back, Zhu Xiao was still thinking about it.

At home, Zhu Zhaodi's stewed chicken was already fragrant.

This kind of old-age hen in the country needs to be stewed simply, so that the taste is mellow and authentic.

Zhu Xiao closed the door, greeted Zhu Zhaodi, went back to her room, found rice paper, pens and ink, and sat on the kang with a small plate.

Write down everyone you know.

With Zhu Erlang and their three sisters as the center, and the people around the edges, write them together.

The door of her room was left open, and when Xun Muyang arrived with Lai Tuo, he saw Zhu Xiao writing and drawing.

There was still snow on his body, and he took off his cloak, Lai Fu took it immediately.

Stepping up to Zhu Xiao, looking at the name on the rice paper, Xun Muyang frowned slightly.

Zhu Xiao didn't look up, and pointed to the opposite side of Xiaoji, "Uncle Ayang, sit down!"

"You know it's me?"

"I knew it was you when you were at the door, but I just didn't want to go out to meet you!"

Xun Muyang snorted.

Sitting on the kang.

It was warm under his buttocks, he was taken aback for a moment, and lifted the cushion to look.

"..."

"This is Kang, could it be that Uncle Ayang doesn't know?" Zhu Xiao raised his eyes and asked curiously.

"I haven't slept!" Xun Muyang whispered.

After taking a look at Zhu Xiaolian's shoes, but he was wearing cloth socks, Xun Muyang lowered his eyes.

The body moved slightly.

"Uncle Ayang!"

"Ok?"

"What do you think of this room? Is the kang warm?" Zhu Xiao asked.

She looked at Xun Muyang with bright eyes.

But what she looks like now is really ugly.

"Why don't you take the antidote?"

"Don't eat for now, wait a few days, Uncle Ayang, you haven't answered my question yet, is this kang warm? Do you want to sleep here at night?"

Xun Muyang didn't speak when he heard the words.

It's just that the heart beats a little faster.

He has always been calm, even when facing the imperial power, he can plan with peace of mind, but at this moment, he feels like his whole body is going to burn.

"Huh?" Xun Muyang asked sullenly.

"You live here at night. Anyway, I don't sleep in this room. I'll sleep with you first. It's quite quiet here. If you want to eat at night, I'll cook it for you!" Zhu Xiaoxiao said, tapping his forehead, "No It's too complicated, I don't have any food here, let's keep it simple, what do I cook, what do you eat, will it work?!"

Xun Muyang didn't listen to what Zhu Xiao said later.

But he remembered that Zhu Xiaoxiao let him sleep alone.

He thought, thought, that she was going to climb into bed.

In fact, he had already figured it out. If she climbed into bed in the middle of the night, he would pretend not to know, and silently obeyed.

As a result, he thought too much.

"Ok!"

With a muffled reply, Xun Muyang lowered his eyes.

Looking at the small table again, Zhu Xiao wrote and painted things, "What did you write?"

"Well, I was thinking, among these people, if my father dies, who can get more benefits, but after thinking about it, I thought of this person!" Zhu's little finger landed on the three words, "Zhuang Weisheng! "

"Him?" Xun Muyang frowned slightly.

"Yes, this person is the man my mother married behind, surnamed Zhuang, Zhuang Weisheng. If he happens to be from Yuelin County, and my father sent something to the county town, he happened to see it. It would make sense for him to kill someone on the way!"

"?"

"We have no mother. If we don't even have a father, will it be completely in the hands of the Zhu family? The Zhu family will do anything for money. If at this time, Zhuang Weisheng appears and is willing to give the Zhu family Qian, do you think the Zhu family will sell our three sisters without hesitation?"

"..."

Xun Muyang was silent.

Zhu Xiao's guess is very reasonable.

"I'm just curious, Zhuang Weisheng's target was us at the beginning, or did he get his thoughts when he accidentally found out that our three sisters look good!" Zhu Xiaoxiao said, taking a deep breath, "Uncle Ayang, help me find out Check it out?"

"Yeah!" Xun Muyang nodded, and couldn't help but ask again, "If Zhuang Weisheng really paid for murder, what would you do?"
