Chapter 118: Give the credit to the Su family
In the big house.
"Cough cough cough...Did the kitchen make crystal cake today?" Xuanyuan Jin asked while coughing with his little face flushed.
"It's ready. Do you want to eat it, young master? I'll bring it to you right away." Wang Zhong looked surprised.
Even if the kitchen hasn't done it yet, it will be done quickly.
The young master finally has something he wants to eat, thank God!
Wang Zhong was about to run to the kitchen after he finished speaking, but unfortunately——
My young master has more to say.
"Who wants to... ahem... eat that? Throw it away!"
Wang Zhong, “…”
The steps that were about to be taken just stopped.
A face full of confusion!
So you asked, just to throw it away?
wrong!
Wang Zhong almost slapped his forehead.
He is really confused.
When the young master said to throw it away, he meant of course throwing it away to the Su family.
"Yes, I will throw it to the Su family's gate right away."
Wang Zhong said this with a sad face.
"M-make some more candy... ahem... throw it away too."
The corners of Wang Zhong's mouth twitched.
Master, can't you speak properly?
"Yes, I'll tell the kitchen to make it right away, and then... throw it away." Wang Zhong said helplessly.
"Well... ahem... go ahead."
Wang Zhong couldn't describe how he felt when he saw that his young master was still thinking about Xiao Tangbao even though he was in such a state.
Or rather, what it should feel like.
With a sigh, he went out and told the fat aunt in the kitchen to quickly make some candies and cakes that little Tangbao liked.
"Uncle Wang, the Su family is quite lively today." Zhao Wu strolled over and said.
"Why is it so lively?" Wang Zhong asked.
He knew that Zhao Wu was not a talkative person.
If you say so, there must be a reason.
As expected, Zhao Wu said, "First, the Fengqi County Magistrate and the Qingzhou Prefect came to the Su family, and then the County Magistrate's wife came, and finally the Su family had two more little guests."
"Two little guests?" Wang Zhong's eyes flashed with surprise. "Are they the little girl from Xia Rongtian's family and Zheng Ming's son?"
There was a hint of certainty in Wang Zhong's tone.
Zhao Wu nodded.
"Uncle Wang, do you think Xia Rongtian and Zheng Ming both know..."
Zhao Wu paused and glanced at Xuanyuan Jin's door.
"The master lives here, so he left his daughter and son in a small mountain village?"
"And, you only stayed in the Su family?"
"If they don't even know about this kind of thing, they're unworthy of being officials." Wang Zhong snorted coldly, not surprised at all. "Why do you think Zheng Ming has been going to Daliushu Village so often in recent years?"
"Furthermore, he hasn't committed any acts of corruption or abuse of power, or exploited the people?"
When Wang Zhong said this, a shrewd gleam flashed in his eyes, "That's because he doesn't dare!"
Zhao Wu nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, Xuanyuan Jin's voice came from the house.
"Since Xia Rongtian... ahem... and Zheng Ming want to take advantage of the Su family, then let them... ahem... take advantage of them to the end!"
Zhao Wu touched his head, not understanding what the young master said.
Rarely, Wang Zhong couldn't even guess what the young master meant.
The young master actually allowed someone to take advantage of the Su family?
Is this... possible?
It turns out, it’s possible!
In the dormitory filled with the aroma of medicine, Wang Zhong's face was filled with shock.
“Master, are you really going to give such a great credit to the Su family?”
Xuanyuan Jin glanced at Wang Zhong.
"This credit... ahem... originally belonged to the Su family."
Wang Zhong, “…”
You really know how to talk.
How come it belongs to the Su family?
It's obviously yours!
Xuanyuan Jin seemed to see what Wang Zhong was thinking.
"If it wasn't for Tang Bao...cough cough cough...discovering gold, who would have known that there was a gold mine on the other side of the mountain...cough cough cough?"
Wang Zhong, “…”
That's true.
"But..." Wang Zhong hesitated and said, "Master, such a great achievement, will it bring trouble to the Su family? After all, this gold mine is..."
Wang Zhong didn't dare to say anything more after this.
"Those with ulterior motives and intent on rebellion... cough cough cough... will be eliminated very quickly."
As Xuanyuan Jin spoke, an innate aura of majesty emanated from him.
Although he looked sick and was coughing heavily, his dignity and bearing were still intact.
Even though he is still young, he should not be underestimated.
Wang Zhong understood.
It seems that something big is about to happen in the court.
After such a long period of planning, the old general is bound to take action.
"Master, then...how should we give the credit to the Su family?" Wang Zhong asked.
You can't just report it directly, right?
After all, the Su family didn’t know about the gold mine.
"Lead them to discover the gold mine!" Xuanyuan Jin only gave a few words.
Wang Zhong, “…”
The young master has really put a lot of effort into the Su family.
After Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking, he started coughing violently again.
Wang Zhong looked at the young master with pity and wanted to pat him on the back, but was rejected by the young master.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart, why hasn't little Tangbao come yet?
Then a large basket of fruits and cakes was delivered.
The young master's illness was also secretly hinted at.
Isn't it time for the little girl to come over and visit?
Su family.
Da Pan, Er Pan, Xia Siya, Zheng Yuanzheng and Xiao Tangbao.
Several people were squatting on the ground, surrounding a large basket, eating with relish.
"Aunt, it's so delicious!" Erpan praised while eating the crystal cake.
Da Pan patted Er Pan's head and said, "It's not that my aunt is delicious, it's that this cake is delicious."
"Hmm, the cakes are delicious!" Er Pan followed suit and was reluctant to eat them in big mouthfuls, so he took small bites.
Zheng Yuanzheng picked up a walnut biscuit and handed it to Xiao Tangbao.
"Sister Fuya, this is delicious, fragrant and sweet."
Zheng Yuanzheng ate while talking, with cake foam on the corners of his mouth, and the food tasted as sweet as honey.
Xiao Tangbao discovered that Zheng Yuanzheng and Xia Siya, the two young masters and young ladies from wealthy families, had adapted very well to life in the countryside.
Look at the way the two of them are squatting on the ground, they are exactly the same as Da Pan and Er Pan.
standard!
Even the clothes are the same.
Because Zheng Yuanzheng also changed his own clothes and found a set of Da Pan's coarse cloth shorts to wear.
Now just looking at the appearance of these two people, except that their faces are a little whiter, they are no different from the country kids.
By the way, don’t you miss your parents?
Xia Siya picked up a piece of pea yellow and nodded while eating.
"Mm, it's delicious, even better than the dim sum at Fucheng Delicious Restaurant."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Tangbao and said, "Sister Fuya, were these cakes sent by that little brother?"
Although Xiao Tangbao didn't see the person who came, he knew that it must have been sent by Wang Zhong just by looking at the basket.
"The uncle in the house asked someone to send it to me." Little Tangbao said in a baby voice.
As for the little brother, she thought he would just be thrown away.
However, the little brother was in poor health and saved her again this time.
Since she has decided to repay him, she will definitely fulfill her promise.
It seems that she has to go up the mountain to see if she can find some good stuff.
Little Tangbao blinked his eyes and looked down at his short legs.
Then, he looked up at Brother Su who was chopping wood not far away...
