Mensao is teasing me

Chapter 43 Intention 6

Dinner was about to start, Chai Yanran called to Chai Ziran's study several times, but she didn't hear any response, so she had no choice but to walk in, and saw that the books that hadn't been moved for thousands of years in the study were flipped through as if they had been looted by grass bandits.Opening her mouth wide, she walked around the books blocking the way and patted her younger brother on the shoulder.

Chai Ziran was looking for a book, and his heart and eyes were all piled up on the book, when he was patted on the shoulder abruptly, his heart trembled, and then he turned his head and saw that it was Chai Yanran, and asked anxiously: "Sister, do you have any questions?" Saw a book in my study."

"Books?" Chai Yanran couldn't help turning her gaze away from the room. Seeing that the weather hadn't changed, and there was no sign of red rain, she breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with a smile, "What books? But what important things did you write?"

"Yes..." Chai Ziran opened his mouth, his face flushed a little, "A collection of poems." At least the cover is a collection of poems.

"Oh?" Her younger brother never read those Lao Shizi's poetry collections, why did he hide one secretly, squinted his eyes, and looked suspicious: "Is there a bank note hidden in the book?"

If the banknotes are easy to deal with, Chai Ziran raised his head and sighed: "Yes, they are all gone." At least I can't tell Sister, the things inside are more terrifying than the disappearance of the banknotes.

Chai Yanran is a generous elder sister, she took out 100 taels of silver note from her pocket, and handed it to him: "Take it and spend it!" Seeing that Chai Ziran's heart was not moving and he didn't take it, she took another 200 taels, and she smiled and said: " Take it! Don’t look for it anymore, it’s more important to eat.”

Chai Ziran's heart was fluctuating, and it didn't matter if the bank note in Ajie's hand could not be picked up or not. Suddenly, he exclaimed: "Ah! I'm hungry." He jumped out of the pile of books suddenly, As soon as he stood up, the pedantic Wannian book on the bookshelf fell out again, smashing the firewood, and his head was covered in ashes.

Chai Ziran smiled awkwardly: "I'll wash my hands first."

Chai Yanran chased her out a few steps worriedly: "Brother, remember to wash your head too."

Chai Ziran hurriedly answered yes, and ran to the kitchen. He didn't wash his hair or hands, he just ate a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, and hurried to find the lost book.After searching for more than half an hour, Yuanhang suddenly remembered something, ran to Chai Ziran and said, "My lord, didn't you let me lose a lot of unnecessary things yesterday? Did you lose that book too?"

What Yuanhang said is not unreasonable.Otherwise, Chai Ziran has overturned his own territory, why can't he find a book of erotic pictures of men who can't grow legs.After thinking about it for a while, he found a family in Suyu County who made a living by collecting junk by himself. These people could always turn waste into treasure, and manually process the same junk to make it even the original owner. I didn't even recognize it, so I took it to the street and sold it.

In the dark and narrow alleys, one family is crowded into a dilapidated kiln, and several families are crowded into a few dilapidated kilns. A few children without pants are playing in the alley in twos and threes. Small waste was thrown everywhere, giving off a bad smell.Chai Ziran frowned slightly, and walked into the crowded and dark alley with his hands behind his back, his brows had already calmed down, and he had a smile on his face.

He was born with a face like a crown of jade, and his red shirt was neat, and he was repeatedly watched by the people in the small kiln along the way.These eyes, Chai Ziran thinks, are very similar to the eyes he looks at his own birds. They are just curious and interesting, and reveal a sense of inviolability.

It is probably the gap between the poor and the rich, the common people and the nobles.

Behind him, a shy one followed him all the way. It just so happened that Chai Ziran lost his compassion for the people and looked back with a smile. His smile was amiable, but he scared the guilty woman into hiding by the wall of a small kiln. He shrank his head and dared not appear.

Chai Ziran stood on the spot, waiting quietly for her to appear. The woman hesitated for a while, pinching a corner of her clothes with her big calloused hands, and walked over in embarrassment, with an apologetic face, unwilling to speak.

Chai Ziran waited for her to speak with a smile. He thought he would have to wait for the twitchy woman for a while, but this woman is a straight-hearted gossip, so she asked in the first sentence: "Are you the girlfriend of the daughter-in-law of Zhang Yamen at the end of the alley?"

Chai Ziran was stunned for a moment, maintaining a good demeanor and not being as knowledgeable as her, said: "No, I'm here to find something that I accidentally lost."

The woman's eyes flickered, a little apology welled up in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared, she said: "You lost something, if it is valuable, it may be difficult to find it back." After a pause, Then he took a few glances at the exquisitely crafted clothes on Chai Ziran, and said enviously: "Rich people like you really lose good things as soon as you say they are lost, and when you lose them, you say you want to get them back, so we people are always in vain." Be busy."

The common people know a little bit of handicraft, which is not technical work, but it can be made with a little effort. is sold to children.Not to mention the children of rich and noble families, even ordinary people are unwilling to let their children use things that others don't want.

Like a piece of clothing on Chai Ziran's body, let alone touching it, they don't even have to think about it in this life.

Chai Ziran was silent for a while, at least he is now half in charge of Suyu County. With the title of master, he should do something, and asked: "Is life not good here?" If you can live a good life, how can you live in these dilapidated small kilns, and said embarrassingly: "I have no other intentions."

The woman was very open-minded, and said: "A full man doesn't know a hungry man, I understand." She gave Chai Ziran another example, saying how life is like here, and she used the hutong Wei Zhang yamen servant and his The example of the daughter-in-law.

This small alley is neither long nor short, but there are dozens of families.All live in a small kiln, some sell handicrafts for a living; Live here.

All in all, this is the poorest and most despised small alley in Suyu County.

The children of rich families can receive a good education, and the family has money to support them in making a living, so their lives are much easier.The children of the poor are the same as their parents. They are not educated and go hungry every day. The same is true for generations, and some are even worse than the previous generation.But among the rich there will be a few prodigal sons, and among the poor there will be a few lucky people who can live a good life, such as Zhang Yamen at the end of the alley.

Yamen Zhang is a hard-working child. His parents left early, and he came out to look for food and drink at an ignorant age. No one remembers the name of this child, even he himself. People in the alley called him Xiao Zhang.Xiao Zhang has a good character, he has never stolen anything, and he has never done naughty things like ordinary children. He is very popular with people in alleys, and those who have surplus food at home will share it with him.

More than [-] years ago, the former county magistrate first came to Suyu County to be appointed. At that time, there were a few thorns in the alleys, and they actually tied up the new county magistrate, although they didn't know that he was the county magistrate. , But if it is tied, it is tied.The magistrate of that county was honestly robbed of his purse and clothes, and secretly remembered them in his heart, but he was afraid of causing unwarranted disasters, so he remained calm.

After he was stabbed and released home, it was already late at night, and the new magistrate of the county was promoted. It's okay to lose his purse, but he can't lose face. He was angry, and immediately called Suyu county to take revenge. Yixue former shame.

The headhunter has summoned twenty yamen servants, and when they were about to wait for an opportunity, Xiao Zhang, who was in his teens, appeared.He looks honest, although he came from an alley, but the county magistrate saw that he was not among the thorns who tied him up, and he honestly brought his purse, and after checking it over and over again and found that there was a lot of money, the anger in his heart disappeared.

After this incident, he also became the boss of several thorns.

The new county magistrate is a person who intends to be a good official. In the eyes of the people of Suyu County, he is a good person.Good people want to do good deeds, and the common people support them, but occasionally there will be one or two bad dragons in the dragon's nest, let alone Suyu County.The yamen servants of Suyu County followed the former county magistrate, and they were obsequious and obedient to the words of the county magistrate. The county magistrate wanted to punish them but there was no manpower, so he searched alleys and found Xiao Zhang.

The two only exchanged a few words, and Xiao Zhang became the deputy head arrester of Suyu County.It is a great joy that every household comes to celebrate such a big person in Hutong Lane.In order not to disappoint the love of the magistrate of the county, Xiao Zhang not only arrested a few bastards, but also took out the evidence of the fish and meat people who were arresting the heads and cooperating with the yamen servants.

Although Xiao Zhang didn't know a few big characters, but with a lot of ambition, he got down in the county government of Suyu County, and after half a year, he was promoted to the chief arrester.

Chai Ziran blinked his eyes and smiled: "This head catcher Zhang is really amazing." However, he had read the list of head catchers used by the former county magistrate, and found no one with the surname Zhang.

The woman sighed: "At that time, more than ten years ago, Zhang Butou started to chatter after a few years of good life, and..." The woman hesitated to speak.

Chai Ziran thought of the first sentence she asked himself just now, and said casually: "Could it be that he slept with the county magistrate's woman?" And that woman was a promiscuous woman. man?

The woman said: "No! He killed a man."

"Oh? Who?" Chai Ziran asked in surprise.

The woman talked a little too much, so she refused to say any more: "The business in Suyu County is not easy during this period, and every family rarely goes out. Only the servant Zhang went out yesterday."

"Oh?" Chai Ziran cupped his hands respectfully, "I'll let you know, Aunt Lao."

The woman pointed to the dark alleys and alleys: "Go straight ahead, keep going, as long as you get to the last room, you will see a colorful Ling hanging on the door, it was hung by the daughter-in-law of Zhang Yamen." The woman looked Looking at Chai Ziran's clear facial features, he suddenly said out of nowhere: "You have grown so big."

"Eh..." Chai Ziran had a complicated look on his face: "You are..." Before he could say a word, the woman ran away, as if there was a wolf and a beast chasing after her.

Chai Ziran couldn't help caressing his handsome face, and murmured: "Am I so scary?" Looking at the dark alleys with his naked eyes, a bad thought came to his mind in vain.
