Chapter 220 I am a poor man
"You are uncle's little darling!"
Zhou Huaining used to dislike babies because he thought they cried all the time and were always pooping and peeing all day long.
But now I inexplicably like the little dumplings. They are white and tender like glutinous rice dumplings, and they have a milky aroma that smells so good.
"Xiao Jiu'er, is uncle's bed still there?"
"Debt!"
"That's good. Uncle really likes your bed. It's soft and elastic. It's such a pleasure to lie on it."
The little dumpling blinked his big eyes and said, "The best mattress in the space is for you, Couch." Of course, Suhu!
"Cucuo, please stay here longer!"
"good!"
"Cao Cao, you don't have to pay! The gift is money!"
Zhou Huaining's heart was about to melt, "How can that be? You have to give me money, Xiao Jiuer needs to buy some meat! Your little face has become so skinny from hunger since your uncle is not around!"
…
A big one and a small one were talking in the front, making everyone laugh.
Ye Yanping looked at the lively and clever little girl and pulled Yunniang's hand. "Yunniang, this is just a false alarm. But if one day, Xiao Jiuer's biological parents really come looking..."
Yunniang glanced at him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
She often asks herself this question.
She had the same dream countless times, and every time it was Xiao Jiuer's biological parents coming to see her.
In her dreams, she either hid Xiao Jiuer or ran away with Xiao Jiuer. This matter was almost becoming a demon in her heart.
"I'll just beat them away!" Ye Yanping said with a determined look, "No matter who they are! No matter what their reasons are!"
Yunniang's eyes were red, and she lowered her head and said nothing more.
She hoped that day would never come.
Ye Buwei and Luo Qiuyue walked behind.
"Qiuyue, did you already know that Qin Erzhu and the others would make trouble in the water?"
"After hearing you say there was something wrong with them, I was convinced that there must be something wrong with them." Luo Qiuyue paused, "You know, I always believe what you say."
Ye Buwei coughed twice unnaturally, "So, you guessed that they would do something in the water."
Luo Qiuyue nodded. "But I didn't know alum had this effect. I have other ways to make the blood blend."
"Mom!" Ye Yan'an hurried over. "Rong'er will be coming of age the day after tomorrow. We definitely won't need Matchmaker Qin anymore. How are we going to proceed with the engagement?"
Girls in the Dayu Dynasty usually get engaged before they reach the age of 15, and can get married after they reach the age of 15.
"Silly boy, are you anxious now?" Luo Qiuyue laughed. "Don't we still have an official matchmaker? I'll go to the town tomorrow and ask the matchmaker to come over and take care of the matter, okay?"
Daewoo has both private and official media.
Qin Matchmaker is a private matchmaker, while official matchmakers are people who are specifically responsible for matchmaking in government offices.
For convenience, ordinary people usually hire private matchmakers.
"Thank you, mother!" Ye Yan'an smiled happily, "I'll go tell Rong'er so she won't worry!"
…
After they returned home, Zhao Xingjian grabbed Zhou Huaining and said, "Stop right there!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Huaining ran away, "Brother, I want to play with Xiao Jiuer, I don't have time to talk to you!"
Zhao Xingjian had no intention of hiding anything and shouted, "Zhou Huaining, you can fool others but not me. Where do you even have a twin brother?"
The Ye family members, who were about to go about their own business, exclaimed in surprise when they heard this and all looked at Zhou Huaining.
Ye Buwei stood quietly by. He naturally knew that Zhou Huaining did not have a twin brother.
Zhou Huaining paused, winking anxiously, and rushed back to whisper, "Brother, please keep your voice down! Can't you just tell me these things behind my back?"
Once his identity is exposed, how can he have the nerve to come to the Ye family to eat, drink and have fun in the future?
Zhao Xingjian twitched his lips and smiled, "Are you really planning on playing two roles all the time? Aren't you afraid of going crazy?"
"So, Mr. Zhou is really the county magistrate?!" The Ye family finally understood.
"Oh!" Zhou Huaining suddenly wilted and sat down on the fence under the corridor with a look of despair on his face.
Ye Buwei made a gesture to everyone, and the Ye family stopped asking questions and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Xingjian sighed deeply and walked over.
"Can you tell me now how you became the magistrate of Xianchuan County?"
Zhou Huaining muttered reluctantly, "You don't even bother going back to the capital, ignoring state affairs. Why should you just continue to be your idle wandering wanderer? Why are you asking these questions?"
Zhao Xingjian choked. "Is your matter a matter of state? Can't I simply care about you?"
Zhou Huaining curled his lips and said, "With your intelligence, can't you just guess?"
Zhao Xingjian said: "You are the legitimate son of Marquis Wuping and will inherit the title in the future. But now you are serving as the county magistrate of the poorest county in the Dayu Dynasty. This is simply unbelievable..."
Zhou Huaining sniffed, "Now you understand why I don't want to talk about it? I've become the laughing stock of the capital!"
Zhao Xingjian shook his head, "No, whether this happened or not, you are the laughing stock of the capital."
"Senior brother, you...you...what nonsense are you talking about! Can't you just comfort me?" Zhou Huaining turned his head to the side in anger.
"Next, I'll say some words of comfort to you." Zhao Xingjian took a chair and sat directly across from him, tutting his tongue, "Huaining, Senior Brother thinks you're really miserable. The Emperor has set his sights on your family."
"Are you sure you are saying these words to comfort me?" Zhou Huaining was almost doubting his life.
No, how did you become like this, brother?
Is it that the water in Heihe Village is too dark, blackening people's hearts?
Where did the senior brother who radiated humanity back then go?
"However, the emperor is just trying to frighten your father. Your family will not be in any danger for the time being."
Zhou Huaining leaned against the pillar and stretched out his long legs. "Brother, you guessed wrong. My father personally asked the emperor for my position as the magistrate of Xianchuan County."
"What?" Zhao Xingjian was stunned, then said with relief, "It seems your father has sensed the crisis and is deliberately showing weakness to the emperor."
"Brother, you guessed wrong again!" Zhou Huaining's mood improved a little, and he said lazily, "My father is only good at fighting, but he doesn't have such a good brain! He sent me to this godforsaken place just because he doesn't like me and wants me to get out of here and make way for his bastard!"
Zhao Xingjian had heard that Marquis Wuping had a concubine.
"Anyway, I'm just a poor guy!" Zhou Huaining stood up. "I miss my bed. Remember to call me when it's time to eat!"
Zhao Xingjian looked at Zhou Huaining's departing back thoughtfully, then turned back to the main house to find Ye Buwei.
"Father Yanping, what do you think about Marquis Wuping sending Huaining to Xianchuan County to serve as the county magistrate?"
Ye Buwei said, "The Marquis Wuping I know is definitely not a man of courage but strategy. He asked Huaining to leave the capital and come to Xianchuan County, probably to preserve the Zhou family's bloodline."
"What? Has the situation become so serious?" Zhao Xingjian stood up from his seat in shock.
"Of course, this is just my guess." Ye Buwei said slowly, "But one thing is certain, the Marquis of Wuping must have had a hard time in the capital."
