Chapter 424 The Mysterious 'Nobleman'

Father Zhang hurriedly comforted his wife, and then hurriedly greeted his eldest son and said:

"Come in and sit down, there is a kang burning inside, it's warm!"

Zhang Zeqing brought a group of siblings and Xiaorou into the house.

When I entered the house, I found that the inside was brand new. The brand new big kang was big and wide, and even the pillows and quilts on it were new. There was wood burning in the stove in the other room, making the whole room warm. , the big kang is so hot that people can't sit still, it is very attractive in this cold winter.

Father Zhang dragged his eldest son onto the kang, and before he could reminisce with his son, Zhang Zeqing was beaten several times by his mother.

His mother cried:

"At the beginning, I just left, did you know that it made your parents panic to death?!"

Father Zhang quickly grabbed his wife and persuaded him:

"Didn't the man come back? Why are you still making trouble? It's not like you don't know what happened at the time. He was also doing it for the good of our family..."

Zhang Zeqing sighed and said in a low voice:
"Father, mother, it's my fault, I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye."

"It's okay, it's all over~"

Father Zhang is an open-minded person. After persuading that one, he came to persuade this one. After finally persuading his mother, he began to talk about the situation at home.

Since the eldest son left the house while they were not paying attention, although he saved a sum of expensive medical expenses, the family also lost a labor force, and life is still very difficult.

Father Zhang entrusted someone to inquire around for a long time, and after seeing that he could not find any news about his eldest son, he finally took a rest for a while and continued to work hard to support the remaining children in the family.

Later, Zhang Zeqing followed Pei Xiaoran into Pei's mansion, got monthly money, and after sending money home, life at home finally got a little better.

Speaking of the days when he ate his last meal but never finished his next meal, Father Zhang, who is optimistic by nature, couldn't help but sigh.

However, he turned around and smiled again:
"I don't know what kind of virtue our Zhang family has accumulated in the previous life, but suddenly one day, a nobleman came."

Zhang Zeqing asked:
"Your Majesty?"

"Yup!"

Father Zhang said gratefully:
"I don't know how that person came to our house. The first time he came, he asked someone to carry a few bags of rice and said it was for us to eat. We asked him who he was, where he came from, and why he suddenly gave us rice. He didn't say how many meters it was, but when we asked him urgently, he ran away with a few of his men."

Zhang Zeqing frowned and thought for a while, then asked:
"What does he look like? How old does he look? Is he male or female?"

Father Zhang said:
"It's a young master! It looks... about thirteen or fourteen years old. He is dressed in a dignified manner, and he is also good-looking. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is very handsome. Of course, my son is not ugly either!"

The whole family couldn't help laughing, while Zhang Zeqing was quickly recalling who matched the appearance described by his father.

He originally thought it was sent by Pei Xiaoran, but his father said he was a young master, and he was older than Pei Xiaoran. Obviously this 'noble man' was not Pei Xiaoran.

Being able to raise a son like Zhang Zeqing, Father Zhang is naturally not a person who would take advantage of others, he continued:
"Suddenly there are a few more bags of rice, and your mother and I dare not eat it. It's just that your younger siblings are hungry, so we cook some for your younger siblings every meal, thinking that the rest will be returned to the nobleman when he comes again." , or I went to his house to pay him for his work.

So, when he came for the second time, we invited him to sit in the house and wanted to have a good talk with him, but when he saw our old shabby house, he frowned, and immediately asked someone to invite him. The craftsman came and said he wanted to renovate our house..."

Thinking of those days, Father Zhang still felt a little unreal, as if he had a beautiful dream, and he was afraid that he would wake up accidentally.

He said with emotion:

"That nobleman is really a very good man. I said I wanted to work for him, but he said no, just let me take good care of the baby at home. He also helped us pay the money to the teacher in the nearby school, and let us send the baby at home. If you send all your sons there to study, I will send all your younger brothers there."

Mother Zhang suddenly said:
"Son, I heard that you work in a big family's house. Does this nobleman belong to that big family's house?"

Father Zhang also had this guess, so he echoed:
"I think so too, maybe it is! My son, you have to work hard for others and repay their kindness well!"

Zhang Zeqing frowned, hesitatingly said:
"However, I have never told anyone in the mansion the location of our house..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped.

No, he actually told someone the location of his home.

Zhang Zeqing has excellent hearing ability and good memory. He instantly remembered the conversation between a certain little girl and him one day.

At that time, he thought that the other party was just curious, so he just asked casually, but he didn't expect...

Moreover, although the little girl was not the one who gave things to his parents, don't forget that she has many elder brothers...

Zhang Zeqing's thin lips tightened instantly, and he didn't know what it was like for a while.

Seeing her son suddenly not speaking, Mother Zhang asked worriedly:

"Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Zeqing returned to his senses, lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes, and said in a low voice:
"It's all right, I think, I know who the 'gentleman' is."

Father Zhang hurriedly asked:
"who is it?"

Zhang Zeqing shook his head, smiled at them, and said:
"I'll just repay this kindness, parents don't have to worry."

Father Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, patted his thigh and said:
"It's good to know who helped us, otherwise I will always owe him, I feel really sorry."

Zhang's mother nodded again and again, and asked in a very gossipy whisper:
"Qing'er, I heard that the family where you work is very famous in Beijing! There is also a very powerful young lady, is it true?"

Brother Zhang immediately became excited, and said:

"That's right! I've heard about this too. It's the Pei family, isn't it? A powerful daughter is born, and the Holy One likes it very much. Now she's an official!"

Father Zhang sighed:
"It's amazing for a girl to be an official."

Zhang Zeqing's eldest sister shouted full of yearning:
"When I grow up, I want to be an official too!"

Brother Zhang immediately laughed at her and said:
"You? Just forget about it. You can't read, you can't even play with a slingshot, and you still want to be an official? Civilian and military officials will not want you!"

A group of people chattered and discussed with great enthusiasm.

For them, those who live in high-ranking families are as far away as the gods in the sky, and the emperors of their own countries cannot even see the sky once in their entire lives.

Therefore, for those who can win the favor of the Holy One, they feel that they are very powerful, not to mention that it is the first time in Suzaku's history that a girl is an official.
