Chapter 126: Not taking Wei Zhao seriously

. Feel relieved?

Thanks to Yu Tingwan, Madam Zhao's face turned as black as charcoal.

She felt uncomfortable thinking that such a thing would be sent to her home.

After hearing this, she was so angry that she trembled all over and ran back home.

Master Zhao had just coaxed his daughter to sleep when he heard footsteps and said, "In the past few days, teachers from academies in several nearby cities have rushed here, and there are also literate scholars who volunteered. The post station has also been relieved a lot. Seeing that you are easy to talk to, I also took a break and came back early."

After speaking, he turned around and looked at Madam Zhao, and then he realized that his wife's expression was not right.

"What's wrong? Who made you angry?"

"You still ask me what's wrong?"

Thinking of his daughter in his arms, Madam Zhao lowered her voice: "I don't care, the family is not allowed to accept that student. You should also not have too much contact with people like Master Chu who have bad intentions."

Master Zhao: "I don't plan to accept him."

He was also very troubled: "If the neighbor moves away, where can I cry? I am still looking forward to discussing knowledge with my younger brother Wei."

"Really?"

Madam Zhao was worried: "He will bring the person here later, you must not be soft-hearted."

"Scholars are thin-skinned, I will refuse you later."

The cold was pressing, and the eaves of the street were covered with frost and ice.

Hu Yaozu still insisted on staying at the post station.

His face was very bad. He didn't sleep well these few nights.

When it was late at night, his heart was blocked and bitter.

He should run back to Xilin Village to question Yu Tingwan.

He clearly expressed his feelings many times!

Why didn't Yu Tingwan wait for him. And she also wanted to marry herself off while he was away!

But reason told him not to.

"Student Hu."

The confidant of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice came towards him.

Hu Yaozu hurriedly put down the pen in his hand.

"Are you sick?"

The confidant said: "You have worked hard these days. The master said that you should go back and rest early today."

Hu Yaozu's heart began to beat wildly. Although it was a confidant who passed the message, it was also a sign that the noble was paying attention to him.

He did not show any emotion on his face and bowed politely.

"No problem."

"There are many people who want to sue, and I only regret that my ability is limited. Fortunately, I can write a few words, and I also want to do my best."

The confidant saw it and couldn't help but praise.

Hu Yaozu insisted until dark

as usual. As usual, Hu Yaozu sent Master Chu back.

Master Chu's footsteps were unusually brisk under the moonlight.

"Don't get tired when you eat at home today. I'll ask your master's wife to make chicken soup for you to nourish you."

Hu Yaozu didn't want to eat.

He was in no mood to play a trick with these people.

Master Chu: "I saw you were too busy today, and there were too many people there, so I didn't have a chance to talk."

"Come and pick me up early tomorrow, Master Zhao wants to see you."

"Don't panic, it will be the same tomorrow as usual, he just wants to test your knowledge."

"He has already loosened up, this will definitely work."

Hu Yaozu's eyes flashed, and he bowed to Master Chu and said: "Thank you, Master."

"It's also troublesome for Master's wife."

So what if Yu Tingwan got married.

As he climbed higher and higher, the girl would regret it sooner or later.

Hu Yaozu didn't blame her, Yu Tingwan was just confused for a while.

It didn't matter if she didn't regret it. When he had power, he could snatch her back.

What husband?

Although I don't know his identity, it's just a country bumpkin. Is he worthy of being compared with him?

Yes. Hu Yaozu was jealous, but he never took Wei Zhao seriously.

————

Wei family.

Lights were on in the house.

While Wei Shouzhong was wiping Wei Zhao's body, Hui Niang was talking to Yu Tingwan next door.

"Just now I brought a bowl of stewed mutton to the next door, and I learned something."

She measured the girl's size and started making clothes.

"Your aunt Zhao said that something happened to the families across the alley from us. Their rice jars and money bags disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"I thought it was just a coincidence, weren't they the people who gossiped about our family in the cloth shop today?"

Yu Tingwan paused and frowned in surprise: "Is there a thief?"

This is no small matter.

If the family was poor, there would be no need to worry, but now that the family is rich, how can Yu Tingwan not be vigilant and worried?

Hui Niang: "No."

She wrote down the sizes one by one.

"There is no one in the government office now, and those families all ran to the post station. But when they arrived, they saw the jars and money bags at the door of the post station."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

She finally caught the word.

"Jar?"

That's what she understood, a clay jar for rice and grain?

Yu Tingwan was very strong, but she couldn't lift it.

Hui Niang was also confused: "Yes, although the jars of each household are similar in style, they all have their own marks engraved on them, and they can recognize them as their own at a glance. They were eager to take them back, but the post station would not allow them. They said it was unreasonable to send them over and say they were donating, giving out porridge and doing good deeds, and then take them back."

There were many people coming and going to file complaints. Most of them were poor, and they all walked here with pale faces and thin bodies. They stayed in Ze County and were unwilling to leave.

The officials who went to the capital couldn't bear it, so they paid for the porridge out of their own pockets. At least everyone can have a bite of hot food in winter.

Merchants in several nearby cities took the opportunity to send grain and silver for flattery or to make good connections. It was

the first time that the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice saw something so shabby.

But it was all the good intentions of the people.

He was very moved!

But these people turned around and regretted it.

He felt that he was being fooled, how could he be happy?

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

She... was at a loss.

Hui Niang: "There are people in their homes. If the rice and money in the jar were gone, it would be fine. But it is rare that such a big jar disappeared without these people noticing it."

"Who dares to act arrogantly in front of the official? Seeing the gloomy face, I was so scared that my legs went weak. In the end, they all came back empty-handed with pale faces."

"I thought that they might have offended a lot of people in the past, and they deserved to be tricked like this."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Offended someone?

The girl slowly looked at the wall on the right.

That was her and... Wei Shen's house.

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips and said nothing.

She didn't want to think too much, just listened to it as an idle matter.

After returning to the house, the girl prepared to take a bath as usual.

Just as she was about to get a change of clothes, something fell from the bed, making a dull sound, and rolled to her feet.

Yu Tingwan lowered her head to see.

It was a bead bigger than her fist.

From the moment it appeared, the surroundings were as bright as day.

Yu Tingwan heard herself inhaling.

"Night...Night Pearl?"

Wei Zhao: "Yeah."

Yu Tingwan: "This is very expensive,

so you just threw it away?" Don't make a crack.

Wei Zhao said slowly: "I didn't hold it firmly."

He originally wanted to give it to Yu Tingwan when she got closer.

If nothing else, you really look so weak.

The girl was silent, and slowly looked at Wei Zhao: "Where did you get it from?"

Wei Zhao was half lying on the couch, his eyelids drooping.

"Dong's house."

"When you get up at night to go out, don't they say it's dark outside? The oil lamp is dim too, why not use this."
