This is really strange! Mr. Zhang, the head hunter, couldn't figure it out, but when he saw the respectful look in the county magistrate's eyes when he looked at Xiao Chu, he was even more surprised.
A county parent officer looked at a child with a look of respect on his face? Even if this little guy is a prodigy and has a lot of room for development in the future, that's not it, right?
The head catcher Zhang took a closer look at the clothing of Xiao Changan's family of three. They were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, and there was nothing special about them. Soon, even though he felt even more strange in his heart, he put the matter of the big shot behind him.
When Xiao Changan saw Xiao Chu turning his gaze towards him, he knew that this little guy was asking for his opinion. He looked at the sky and then said: "Master Chen, it's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore. The three of us will set off now."
Back to Zhengjia Village."
After Xiao Changan finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Xiao Chu and Liu. When he saw them, they both nodded.
Chen Yuannian's face was full of regret, but when he saw the three of them as a family, he seemed to have made up his mind and immediately stopped trying to stay.
"In this case, Mr. Chen will not keep you all. Lao Zhang, please make a trip and use my carriage to take Mr. Xiao and his family back."
After Chen Yuannian finished speaking, he turned to the boss Zhang and warned him.
After hearing this, the head catcher Zhang became even more confused. You know, the county magistrate, as the official of Dingyuan County, invited them, a commoner, to have dinner, and he was rejected?
However, these are not the point. The county magistrate did not look angry at all after being rejected, and he still wanted to send the three of them home in his own carriage?
What's happening here?
Could it be that the magistrate has a fever?
These three people were covered in coarse linen and linen clothes, and they were obviously dressed like ordinary people. Even if the county magistrate was an upright official and loved the people like his own children, he couldn't take care of their family of three like this, right?
When the county magistrate Chen Yuannian saw Mr. Zhang standing there in a daze, making no move, he spoke again and said sternly: "Captain Zhang, this county magistrate asked you to send Mr. Xiao and his family away. You must not neglect it. Do you hear me?"
After being scolded by the county magistrate, Mr. Zhang finally came to his senses and responded in a panic: "Yes, your Majesty the county magistrate."
Mr. Zhang, the head catcher, has been working in the county government for many years, and he has a clear understanding of some things in the officialdom. Even now, there is nothing he still doesn't understand. I guess the so-called 'big shots' are Xiao Chu and his family.
However, Mr. Zhang, the head catcher, could not see anything about the three men dressed in civilian clothes that deserved what the county magistrate did.
Although I don’t understand it in my heart, the county magistrate has an order, and the arrester Lao Zhang naturally doesn’t dare to disobey it. After all, the county magistrate will definitely not do such a thing for no reason. Although I can’t think of the reason, it is what I should do.
There was still work to be done, and immediately the headman, Zhang, invited Xiao Chu and his family onto the carriage with great respect.
The county magistrate Chen Yuannian watched the carriage leave, and then he let out a long sigh, his face full of excitement. It is really a blessing for Dingyuan County to have such a son in Dingyuan County!
"I'm really looking forward to how amazing this little guy will be at the Chongming Prefecture Literary Competition. Thinking about it, this little guy will definitely become famous in Chongming Prefecture that day, and then the entire three counties of Chongming will know his name.
, and Dingyuan County will also become famous because of Xiao Chu!"
Thinking of this, the excitement on Chen Yuannian's face became even stronger, and he was already smiling. He even imagined before his eyes the scene of Dingyuan County being proud among the three counties of Chongming.
...
Zhengjiacun, Xiaojia.
"Mr. Xiao, the county magistrate ordered me to send you all to your home. Now that you have been sent, I will return." Mr. Zhang, the head catcher, sent Xiao Changan and the others to the door of Xiao's house and said to the three of them.
Xiao Chu and Xiao Changan saluted the head catcher Zhang and expressed their gratitude to him. They and others had been struggling for several days and were exhausted physically and mentally. Besides, it was getting very late and they did not keep him at home.
It means eating. However, the due etiquette is still indispensable. "Sir, please come into the room and serve tea."
"No, I have to go back and report to the county magistrate." The catcher Lao Zhang returned the salute, got in the car and turned back.
Xiao Chu looked at the Xiao family yard and let out a long sigh. He was finally back. Apart from anything else, he should really thank Xiao Tai for this. If it hadn't been for him, he might still be in that bandit's den.
When Mr. Xiao heard something moving outside, he quickly went out to check. When he saw Xiao Changan, Xiao Chu and Liu at the door, they were about to go into the yard, but they suddenly froze on the spot.
They knew that Xiao Changan and his wife went to Dingyuan County Government to file a complaint against him, but they did not expect that they would rescue Xiao Chu in just two days.
"Chang...Chang'an, Chu'er, are you all back?"
Mr. Xiao's tone was full of disbelief and he said to the two of them.
Xiao Changan quickly took Xiao Chu and bowed to his father, and then everyone returned to the living room to talk.
On the way, Xiao Chu had already told Xiao Changan and Mr. Liu to briefly tell the story of how he was rescued. As for the matter of getting married to Xiao Tai, they should keep it a secret for the time being.
After all, Mr. Xiao has a stubborn personality and his aunt behaves erratically. If they find out about this matter, they might bring some strange troubles to themselves, so it's better not to make it public for the time being.
Xiao Changan and Liu had no objection to Xiao Chu's instructions. After all, they both saw Xiao Chu's abilities and potential, and were extremely convinced of Xiao Chu's decision.
The wish to revitalize the Xiao family depends on this little guy.
After hearing this, Mr. Xiao let out a long sigh and said, "I have to thank Lord Anguo a lot this time. I often hear that Lord Anguo serves the country and the people, and is a generation of virtuous ministers and good generals. This move really fulfills the rumors."
.”
"Chang'an, have you ever thanked Mr. An Guogong?" Mr. Xiao thought for a moment and then asked again.
"Of course, father, of course we have to thank Mr. An Guogong for being so kind to our Xiao family." Xiao Changan replied seriously, his words were flawless, and he concealed Xiao Chu's instructions to the letter.
Mr. Xiao turned to look at Xiao Chu. He really didn't expect that this little guy could come back. Even if Xiao Changan and his wife went to the county to file a complaint, he didn't hold out much hope. After all, there were only a dozen or so people in the county government.
How could a police officer deal with a group of ruthless bandits? The most gratifying thing for him was that his biological grandson Cheng'er had nothing to do.
"Chu'er, now that you're back, you must be obedient at home and don't cause any trouble again." Mr. Xiao warned.
Xiao Chu didn't care much about Mr. Xiao's salty words. Anyway, the old man had never given him a good look since he was a child. Then Xiao Chu rolled his eyes at Mr. Xiao in his heart to show his respect.
protest.
However, Xiao Chu replied obediently: "Yes, Chu'er knows."
After saying this, everyone dispersed. It was already dark, and Mr. Xiao went back to his room to rest.
Xiao Chu, on the other hand, was pulled aside by Xiao Changan and said mysteriously, "Chu'er, the Chongming Mansion Literature Competition will be held in a few days. You have been specially approved by the prefect and have obtained a quota, but as a father,
If you want to show your face, see if you can help me as a father?"
Regarding Xiao Changan's words, Xiao Chu was speechless for a moment and gave him a roll of his eyes. This...?
You asked me to help you cheat again? Are you still addicted?
