Chapter three hundred and eighty-eight sea bird hunting
Zhu Pingan won the first prize, and his fourth aunt was pregnant again. This was a double happiness, and Zhu Pingan's family was filled with joy.
The Zhu family members who were immersed in joy were awakened only after the third time the messenger announced the good news. Mrs. Chen could no longer suppress the pride on her face and distributed the prepared red envelopes to the people who came to announce the good news one by one.
"Take it, I have it all"
Country people are not so particular, because there are too many people who come to announce the good news, and Zhu's father and his third and fourth uncles are too busy. Mrs. Chen also stands up and gives red envelopes to those who bring the good news.
But he didn't accept the red envelope to reward him with money, so Chen said something and put the money in his hand without refusal, watched him accept it, and then continued.
At this time, the uncle Zhu Shouren who was standing in the corner was so scared that his face was blue. The second brother's family, that's the Master of the Palace! Why don't you give me a reward of woolen yarn? Is he still short of your few pennies?
After handing out the reward money one by one, Mrs. Chen caught a glimpse of her uncle Zhu Shouren huddled in the corner, and couldn't help but roll her eyes! Just now, she was hurriedly saying that she was going to visit the county magistrate, but now even the third and fourth sons in the family are paying attention.
He came out to help and gave me a red envelope, but he was just huddled in the corner like a quail! No courage!
The person who brought the good news handed the good news into the hands of Zhu's father. Before Zhu's father could take a closer look, Mrs. Chen took it away.
The good news was made of fine cloth, the font was in official script and was very clear. Three official seals were stamped in the middle above the good news. The background of the good news was a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Below it was a golden carp swimming backwards in the majestic waves. Above it was
A looming soaring dragon in Wushan Palace symbolizes that the number one scholar is like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate, and the future is limitless. Read the book and take a look
Mrs. Chen looked at the good news in her hand and was filled with joy. The No. 1 Scholar was different. The material of this good news was hundreds of times better than before, and the paintings looked festive. The previous good news didn't even have a painting, but it still looked good like this.
After receiving the good news, Mrs. Chen stopped Li Dahei, a carpenter in the village who was watching the excitement in the yard, and asked him to quickly make a good-looking watch frame and deliver it.
Why make a table frame?
In fact, the reason is very simple. Mrs. Chen wants to frame the good news that Zhu Ping'an won the top prize and hang it in the most conspicuous place in her home. On the one hand, this is a great thing to honor the ancestors, and on the other hand, it will attract everyone who comes to the Zhu family.
You can see the good news that Zhu Ping'an won the top prize at a glance.
Just sauce
"Don't leave, everyone. Please help the fellow villagers to support the cooking pot. Everyone, please stay and have a light meal with some wine." After receiving the red envelopes to celebrate the money, Mr. Zhu invited the onlookers inside and outside the courtyard.
There was free food and wine. Naturally, people would not refuse and applauded one after another, adding to the festive atmosphere several times.
The uncle Zhu Shouren who arrived at the corner at some unknown time looked at Zhu's father who was making arrangements in front of others. He wanted to take steps to go to the county magistrate several times to brush his face, but he saw the crowds of people watching in the yard and the trees on the roofs outside the yard.
The dense crowd of people was stunned but did not take a step, after all, his purpose was shady.
Zhu Ping'an won the top prize, and the whole Xiahe Village was excited. This was the top prize, Wen Quxing.
Naturally, Shanghe Village, which is close to Xiahe Village, also heard the news. Old Master Sun made a cup of tea and sat in the yard, squinting his eyes and listening to the non-stop crackling of firecrackers in Xiahe Village, and his heart felt as sweet as honey.
The wife who was mending clothes opposite looked at Old Master Sun's chrysanthemum-like old face and rolled her eyes several times. Of course, she was also smiling from the corners of her eyes.
In the Li Family Courtyard, not far from Old Master Sun's home, there were also the sound of firecrackers. The servants in the house listened to the crackling firecrackers and chatted with joy about the good news that their uncle had won the first prize.
The door of Rich Man Li's bedroom was closed, and there were two serious-looking nurses outside with their hands clasped around their waists, looking around vigilantly.
In the bedroom, the plump Mr. Li sat at the table, tapping the table lightly with his fingers wearing big gold rings, squinting his eyes slightly and looking in the direction of Xiahe Village, with a somewhat surprised expression on his round, fat face.
Unexpectedly, that boy actually won the first prize. It was no use that Shuer cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, so she refused to marry him!
"Sir, the seabird hunting failed, Funingwei Dajin guarding Qianhusuo 6 said that thousands of households could not escape the blame! My subordinates have received information about the ants. During the hunting period, merchants came in and out of the mansion of 6,000 households late at night.
We will leave through the secret passage at dawn."
Kneeling at the feet of Rich Man Li was a thin man. There was a scar on his face, and he exuded a cold aura, like a poison-stinger dagger hidden in a sheath.
At this moment, the man was kneeling on the ground, and presented a secret fold with the bloody flying fish symbol to Rich Man Li with both hands. He lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Rich Man Li. A wisp of black hung down, covering half of his face.
Face.
"Who said it failed?"
Rich Man Li turned his gaze from the direction of Xiahe Village to the man kneeling on the ground, with a slight smile on his fat face, like a fat version of a fox.
Didn’t it fail? The kneeling man was a little puzzled and stunned. He didn’t quite understand. He had clearly failed.
"This is a seabird. Although this seabird is a little thinner, I believe this is just the beginning. With this bird, there will be more birds." Rich Man Li smiled like a businessman who sees business opportunities.
He smiled, took the secret fold from the man's hand, rubbed the ring somewhere on the secret fold with his hand, and then opened the secret fold.
"My lord is wise."
Hearing this, the kneeling man looked at Rich Man Li with even more awe. He didn't expect that everything was an adult formation. He didn't expect that this was the real plan. It was so interconnected and meticulous. It turned out that
Everything is just a deception.
"Once the bird is caught in the net, let it be caught."
After reading the secret fold, Rich Man Li threw out a bloody flying fish waist card and said softly.
The man kneeling on the ground didn't even raise his head, so he stretched out his hands to catch the bloody waistband thrown by Rich Man Li without missing a beat.
This is a metal waist tag. I don’t know what material was added to make it appear blood red, as if it was stained with blood. The waist tag is as big as one-third of the palm of your hand, in the shape of a flying fish, with three black characters "Jinyiwei" on it.
, and there is a bright red word "dark" in the lower corner that is easy to ignore, as if watered with blood.
"Sir, do you want to inform Nanzhen Fusi?" The thin man kneeling on the ground collected the Feiyu card and asked with some scruples on his scarred face.
"What do you think?" Rich Man Li touched his fat face, lowered his head and asked with a smile.
"This subordinate deserves to die! Please forgive me." The thin man shivered all over and apologized in a row. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Rich Man Li again, as if something terrible had happened to him. (To be continued.)
