Chapter 1238

Old Zhou tou went out for a turn and found that he had nothing to do with himself. Zhou Dalang arranged everything at home, and Zhou Erlang took the officials to Bai's house.

He made a aimless turn, and finally returned to the room. He simply rummaged through the boxes and cabinets.

Qian gave the Heavenly Master three incense sticks and asked, "what are you looking for?"

"Looking for clothes, didn't I put the clothes sent back by man Bao in the cabinet? Where did you take it? " Old Zhou said, "this is a senior official. I'll change it later to entertain guests."

Qian then pulled him away. "Don't mess it up. I'll help you find it."

Qian found out his clothes for him, frowned and said, "everything has been arranged outside?"

"The boss has arranged it. I don't need it."

Qian was relieved and nodded.

Man Bao and his family also sent letters home. They still sent their servants on the road, but now it's getting cold, and the speed of private people can't compare with that of officials.

So the officers arrived at Qili Village one step ahead of their letter.

Master Bai was also worried about old lady Liu and Bai Shan, so he sat down and began to inquire about the news of the capital.

The last time they received Bai Shan's letter, they said they had sued the emperor and came out after a circle in the prison. They were all right.

But I don't know how to follow up.

Now the Zhou family has received a reward. Should the Bai family also have it?

The Bai family really has. When he heard from the edict officer that Bai Qi was also granted the state shepherd and was still a state shepherd, he was relieved and began to ask people to get good wine. They drank a wave here first.

Zhou Dalang quickly invited the old people and the village head home, and some aunts and sister-in-law who were familiar with their family also came to their house to help.

Zhou Lixue drove the ox cart to pick up the inside chief. Xiao Qian cooked three good meals on the table. Then Zhou Dalang went to Bai's house and invited master Bai to come over for dinner.

The old Zhou family left old Zhou tou, Zhou Dalang, Zhou Erlang and Wednesday Lang to accompany the guests, while others avoided eating in the small courtyard.

But they didn't have much mind to eat. They listened to what was said there with long ears.

People in Qili Village are also very concerned about manbao in the capital, but where do the officials know so much?

Only said that the emperor did not ask for guilt, and the man had been released from prison.

Then old Zhou tou mentioned the aftermath of Zhou Yin and asked if the words of bandits said by the Yamen would stop counting. In the future, he could come as he wanted according to the rules?

Naturally, the official praised Zhou Yin's loyalty according to the imperial edict. The chief and village head were not fools. They understood it as soon as they heard it.

Then everyone happily ate a good meal and sent the man away.

When master Bai saw them, he let the officers leave so empty handed. He couldn't help winking at Lao Zhou.

Old Zhou tou didn't understand, so master Bai went to see Zhou Erlang.

Zhou Erlang was stunned for a moment. When he understood it, he went to touch his body. As a result, he didn't touch a penny. Master Bai looked at him and was wondering whether he had paid the money for them. The officers and men had already left.

Master Bai could only look at the leaving team and sigh, and said to Zhou Erlang, "why don't you prepare in advance?"

Old Zhou tou asked suspiciously, "what are you going to do?"

The inside chief on one side said angrily, "money, people come all the way to give you a decree. You can't give people a reward?"

Old Zhou's head widened his eyes and said incredulously, "shall I reward him? No, I'm just a mud leg. He's still a senior official. How can I reward him? "

It's not his reward, is it?

The chief said, "in the future, if your family wins the Jinshi examination, people will report the good news. You can't give people a reward?"

"It's a small official or a big event. Of course, it's a reward, but it's a big official here. How much do you have to pay?" Old Zhou turned to Zhou Erlang and said, "it's only right if you don't give it. I'll beat you if you give it. It's so shabby for other senior officials to see."

Everyone thought that old Zhou tou was right. Even master Bai couldn't help nodding, "yes, I'm from Beijing. I shouldn't be short of money."

That is, you can't give it without it.

Old Zhou tou thought, now the new wheat is worthless, and the price is the same as the ordinary wheat. Next year, after the harvest, maybe the grain price will have to fall, and it won't change much money at all.

Now the cash money earned at home depends on all kinds of medicinal herbs planted on the mountain. The fifth man wrote back to tell them the good news but not the bad news. He didn't even tell them that man Bao was in prison until he came out. I don't know how much money they spent in the capital to catch people.

Old Zhou tou knows. If he's in prison, he can't think of it if he doesn't have money. Senior officials in the capital are not necessarily as good as county magistrate Yang.

The fourth brought all the cash in his family before he left. For a while, where did he go to find a reward for such a big official?

As soon as the officials left, old Zhou was completely relaxed and waved directly: "tell the villagers that we will kill chickens and sheep tomorrow and invite everyone to eat!"

The village head knew that the old Zhou family didn't have much money except some copper money. After all, their family had just changed money with him a few days ago, so he stopped him and said, "don't be busy. This is not only a major event for the Zhou family, but also a major event for Qili Village. You can't just pay for it. Every family can make up some money. Let's do it."

Lao Zhou immediately refused, "no, no, how can you spend money? Don't worry, although the old four took all the cash at home, it's OK to invite everyone to have a good meal. "

He said: "this year's harvest is good. The rice noodles are home. There are enough food in the field. The chickens and eggs are home. There is still money to buy mutton and pork at home."

Seeing old Zhou tou insist, the village head won't argue with him. It's a big deal to bring something to dinner tomorrow.

Now everyone in Qili Village knows that man Bao was imprisoned for suing Yuxing some time ago. When the letter was sent back, the old Zhou family cried miserably. Although the letter said that he was all right, he had been fished out.

But everyone knows that this prison is so easy to stay in?

Who can't go in and take off a layer of skin?

Man Bao didn't know how many sins he had suffered, so once the old Zhou family was new, he asked Zhou Silang to bring all the cash in his family, and loaded all the medicinal materials cooked at home and pulled them to the capital.

The mule and cart were bought now. When they were pulled to the capital, they sold them and gave them to man Bao in cash. Be sure to bring people back.

So now everyone in Qili Village knows that the old Zhou family has no money and fell from the second richest family in the village. Now I don't know whether it fell to the end. After all, no one knows the situation in the capital.

However, although I don't know how many crimes man Bao suffered when he got out of prison, the fact that Zhou Yin was chased is a great good thing, and the whole village began to celebrate together.

Now they have completely let go and have no scruples about what happened 12 years ago.

At last, we can whisper, not as before. As long as we talk about Zhou Yin, we can only hint that the past depends on everyone's comprehension ability.

The old people of the Zhou family decided to add the paragraph 12 years ago to the genealogy and must write it in ink. They didn't trust Zhou Lixue's writing, so they decided to give it to the grandson of the village head. After all, he went to school several years more than Zhou Lixue.
