Chapter 188: The New Patriarch
In the courtyard in front of the study in the back house of Lingzhu Village, Zu Shou and Tang Jiu Sheng competed for internal strength. After a cup of tea, Zu Shou's internal strength was already exhausted. After another half cup of tea, Zu Shou was exhausted and exhausted.
On the ground, he died. Tang Jiusheng had no expression on his face, retracted his left palm, and looked at Zu Shanping who was sitting on the ground holding Zou. Zu Shanping saw that his father was dead, so he gently picked up Zou and leaned against the wall. He came over again.
I picked up my father's body without shedding a single tear.
Tang Jiusheng lowered his head, touched Zu Qingqiu's hair, and asked with a smile: "Little girl, the murderer of your father is dead. What are you going to do with this man and woman?"
The seven-year-old girl Zu Qingqiu sighed, "Those people who monitor me are all sent by Zu Shou. My aunt has always protected me, and Brother Shanping has never hurt me. Uncle Tang, since they two love each other, let them go."
Let them both go."
Tang Jiusheng laughed loudly, "You little girl, do you know how to love or not? Forget it, since the current head of the ancestral family has said to let you go, then you two can get out! Remember, what harm will you do if you dare to practice again in the future?
Tang Mou will not be polite to kill a person's sorcery with one blow!" Zu Shanping and the Zou family could only obey. Zu Shanping carried Zu Shou's body on his back and took the Zou family away from Lingzhu Village, and they didn't know where they were going.
An eagle chirped in the sky, Tang Jiusheng raised his arm, Xiaoqing gently landed on Tang Jiusheng's hand, and rubbed Tang Jiusheng's hand with his face. Tang Jiusheng smiled and stroked the feathers on Xiaoqing's back, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoqing!"
I haven't given you a chance to take a rest today all afternoon and all night."
It turned out that Xiao Qing had found Tang Jiusheng in the afternoon, but Tang Jiusheng did not signal it to fall in order not to alert the bad guys in the ancestral family, so Xiao Qing had no choice but to hover in the sky nearby and did not dare to fly far. Tang Jiusheng asked Zhuang Ding to go to the kitchen
He took some chicken and fed Xiao Qing. When Xiao Qing was full, he squatted on Tang Jiusheng's shoulder to rest.
Zu Qingqiu brought Tang Jiusheng back to the living room. Zhuang Ding had already lit up several large sticks of butter wax. They each found a seat and sat down. The little maid came up to offer tea. Tang Jiusheng scratched his head and asked: "Niece, I will kill you now.
Dad’s enemy is dead, but unfortunately you are too young to be the head of your own family. Are there any other relatives in your ancestral family who can help take care of you and your family’s property?"
Zu Qingqiu smiled plainly, shook his head and said: "My father and uncle are at odds with each other.
We have no contact with each other, and my aunt is married to Lingnan and cannot take care of me. My aunt and Brother Shanping are gone, and that old bad guy Zu Shou is dead. There are only two old family members in this family, Zu Tong, and Zu Xiang can still provide
I have enough trust, and now I am the head of the family. If I don’t make the decision, who will?”
Tang Jiusheng was a little shocked by this little girl's palace, "Girl, how are you going to arrange things at home?"
Zu Qingqiu smiled and said: "There is nothing easy to arrange. It's just that everyone does their own work, and let Zu Tong and Zu Xiang command these people to continue doing things according to the old rules and take good care of the silk and satin shop under my father's name.
For restaurants, teahouses, and inns, I will first follow Uncle Tang to wander around in the world for two years, gain experience, and then come back to take over these household chores. In the future, I will also be a powerful female village owner!"
Tang Jiusheng immediately looked at this little girl with admiration. He didn't realize that this little girl who was over seven years old could have such ambitions. Tang Jiusheng laughed loudly and was very pleased. "Little girl, when you are three years old, you will look younger when you are seven years old. In the future, you will look younger."
The future is limitless!"
Zu Qingqiu said with tears: "I am a child without a father and a mother. Thanks to Uncle Tang for saving me this time, otherwise I will die in the hands of bad people sooner or later. As a child without a father and a mother, I will have to rely more on Uncle Tang to take care of me in the future."
Got it!"
Tang Jiusheng nodded, "Little girl, those are all trivial matters. What's strange, uncle, is that you actually trust me after meeting me, and you are not afraid that I am a liar invited by those people? How can you be sure that I will arrive first at the back house?"
How about getting rid of the people spying on you?"
Zu Qingqiu burst into tears and said with a smile: "Isn't it because you are handsome and don't look like a bad guy at first glance?" Tang Jiusheng couldn't laugh or cry. Zu Qingqiu added: "Actually, when dad came back, he told me about you and your story.
I told you that you had a dragon-screaming sword with a little golden dragon wrapped around the hilt, and that you were a great hero who stood up for justice, a great hero. Although you are young, your future is limitless."
Zu Qingqiu smiled again and said: "If Tang Daxia can't save me even when he comes, then my watery aunt will be even less able to save me. Zu Shou will get rid of me sooner or later. So you are my only chance, I can only take a gamble.
.When I was pouring you tea, I pinched your hand and blinked at you twice, just to remind you to pay attention to the people around me. Several people around me were planted by Zu Shou to monitor me, so I didn’t dare.
Talking nonsense."
Tang Jiu Sheng admired and praised even more
He said: "Little girl, I didn't expect you to be brave and resourceful at such a young age!" Tang Jiusheng asked again: "But after all, Zou indirectly killed your father, why don't you use my hand to get rid of her?"
Zu Qingqiu said: "The culprit is Zu Shou. Even if my aunt doesn't absorb my father's inner strength, Zu Shou will poison my father sooner or later. My aunt is a pitiful person. After my father's death, she is the one who protects the most in this village."
I don’t care whether she meant to take advantage of me or not, but at least objectively she helped me, otherwise I wouldn’t be alive today, so I decided to let her live.”
Tang Jiusheng stood up and said with a smile: "Good boy! You are tired today, you should rest first! Pack your things tomorrow and arrange things at home. Uncle Tang will take you to chase the fat uncle and aunts. Let's go to Zhujiazhuang first.
Then the next step is to go to Beijing!"
The two of them rested separately and said nothing all night. When they got up the next morning, Zu Qingqiu, accompanied by Tang Jiusheng, arranged the affairs of the village. Sure enough, two trustworthy family members, Zu Tong and Zu Xiang, were in charge of the housework. The rest of the people still followed the old rules.
Doing things according to the rules. Zu Qingqiu himself packed a change of clothes, made a small package, took some banknotes and broken silver, rode on a big black horse, and followed Tang Jiusheng on the road to Zhujiaji.
The sparrow eagle Xiaoqing squatted on Tang Jiusheng's shoulder and dozed off. Tang Jiusheng touched its bird's face. The little thing followed him and flew around every day. It was a great achievement for its hard work. The two rode up the official road and went straight to Zhujiaji.
, and asked the villagers about the location of Zhujiazhuang, went straight to the gate of the village, and asked the villagers to report their names. Zhu Jiafu and his son were overjoyed when they heard that Tang Jiusheng had arrived, and went to the gate of the village to greet him in person.
Seeing the unusual situation, Zhu Jiafu took Tang Jiusheng's hand and shook it a few times, "Oh, Young Master Tang, you're here! I've heard the name for so long, it's like thunder in my ears!" While he was talking, his hands were not idle.
Shang Qi Ji and Tang Jiusheng used their inner strength to fight. It was just like Zhu Congwen treated the fat man. He was truly a father and son.
Tang Jiusheng was also rude and brought up Qi Ji to compete with him, "Hey, Senior Zhu deserves the award. Senior Zhu is famous all over the world and is a role model for the younger generations like us." The result of the internal strength competition was that the two of them were equally matched in skill and chess.
