Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 429 The niche on the wall

"By the way, Big Brother, your family..."

Under anxiety, he mentioned that when he asked the vassal princes to return to the capital, they had to go to the Zhao Mansion outside the city to offer incense. This also made Lao Zhu finally think of a way to change the subject.

"They must have been left in the government office again."

Facing the doubtful looks of the three people on Lao Zhu's side, the old man suddenly realized.

"Knock on my brain, I forgot that you just came back."

"The younger ones in my family didn't do anything wrong. They were probably kept in the Yamen overnight by the officials. They probably won't be able to get back until tomorrow morning."

However, the old man's explanation made Lao Zhu and the others even more confused.

Stay in the Yamen?

Still staying in the Yamen for the night?

The old man and the aunt looked at each other with expressions that showed that this situation was normal and there was no hint of worry.

Lao Zhu and Queen Ma looked at each other and saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.

Did they both understand it wrong, or was there some key information that they both ignored?

Until the aunt interrupted.

"Oh, old man, why are you talking about this when you have nothing to do? You are talking about something important!"

The old lady's little gesture of winking finally made the two of them feel normal.

There must be something hidden in the middle!

"What are you in a hurry for?"

However, the old man replied with a reproach, which made Lao Zhu and Queen Ma, especially Lao Zhu, feel itchy in their hearts.

All kinds of situations were running through his mind.

"Ahem, brother, the old man will call you brother."

"Can the old man believe you?"

coming!

really! I guessed right!

Lao Zhu glanced at Queen Ma. Queen Ma didn't reply, but there was a solemn look in her eyes.

Yu'er hurriedly approached her, fearing that she might get excited and hurt herself.

"Of course! Brother, just say it!"

"Brother, I have been traveling all over the country for so many years, and what I have said is a moral principle. If the eldest brother doesn't let it out, the brother will never open his mouth."

After seeing Queen Ma, Lao Zhu leaned over and saw a few shadows quickly straightening in a hidden corner outside the window.

"That's good."

"My eldest brother also decided to tell you this because he saw how much you care about your sister and how polite you are."

"You, hurry up and do something..."

"Brother, that's what you say!"

Lao Zhu was extremely excited, but at the same time, he felt a little irritable for no reason.

When the truth of the matter is only covered by a covering, excitement is often mixed with fear.

At this moment, Lao Zhu was in such a state.

But he himself didn't understand why.

"You know about the grain manager, right?"

"of course I know!"

really!

Lao Zhu frowned and raised his hand slightly toward the outside of the hall, ready to move at any time.

"After you go home and settle down tomorrow, apply for the grain director immediately!"

"What good!?"

Lao Zhu's hand, which he was about to raise, instantly became a support to keep him from being shocked.

Because of the setup of the Grain Chief System, to put it simply, it was a no-cost transaction that he specifically made.

The privileges that the Grain Chief has are just a matter of putting the privileges that those people in the dark corners can do and putting them on the table to make the best use of them.

Yes to the royal family!

Because this not only solves the problem of grain collection expenses, but also puts that group of people on the table so that they cannot blatantly expand.

But on the contrary, in another position, for the gentry group, if we really follow his requirements, it would be pure oppression.

It’s just that they have to do it and don’t dare not to do it.

At the moment, Nan He has just been cleaned up by Zhao Zheng. It is true that he is afraid of Zhao Zheng, but he also has great trust in Zhao Zheng's ability.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were tools, and the Zhao family were confidants.

In fact, Lao Zhu often felt that Zhao Zheng hated the dark side of the dynasty more deeply than he did.

But now, I call you eldest brother, you call me brother, but you want me to report to the grain director immediately?

confused! Very confused!

From the moment he entered this village, Lao Zhu felt that everything was strange.

Now facing the two old farm couple in front of them, the weirdness finally reached its peak.

Didn't Erhu check it out and report that everything is normal here?

Lao Zhu sat up and suddenly felt a chill on his back.

But the old man in front of him thought that Lao Zhu didn't trust him, and his eyes widened with anger.

"You call the old man brother, and I can still hurt you!"

"Brother, let me tell you, there may never be a better opportunity to repay Suicune's kindness than now!"

"If it's too late, you'll regret it!"

"After my little one learns to read, I will ask him to apply for grain director! If you don't believe it, you will regret it then!"

After hearing this, Lao Zhu finally came to his senses.

The starting point of the common people is often the simplest.

He looked around, and sure enough, on the upper wall of the main room, a shrine was enshrining the memorial tablet of Zhuohe Shuijun.

A bowl of rice and a piece of dried meat.

These two things made him suddenly lose his mind.

"Sister, I'll give your man a good talk later."

"We can't forget our roots."

"Your family has a big business, and you can better share the worries of His Majesty and the Lords of the Holy Palace than us. We can't tire them out every time something happens to our family..."

The aunt also walked up to Queen Ma, thinking she was the wife of a fellow merchant from the same town, and took her hand.

Faced with this normal, yet somewhat abnormal behavior.

Queen Ma quickly came to her senses.

"He doesn't need me to tell him, he will figure it out."

"It's just that my little sister is a little curious about why we have only been away for a year and so many things have happened here at home."

"You know, being a grain manager is not a good job. Sister, why do you want your children to participate?"

Queen Ma immediately asked the key question.

Lao Zhu, who was temporarily absent-minded, looked over subconsciously, waiting for the old woman's answer.

"It's true that it's not a good job. However, it can't be worse."

"Why is this? My sister, I have been sick all the time. I am a businessman with the head of the family, and it is also to seek medical treatment, so I don't know much about the outside world."

Queen Ma took the old woman's hand and asked her to sit down next to her. The two sat down and talked like ordinary old sisters.

"Hey, sister, you are also a miserable person, so let me tell you."

"Before Mr. Zhao deals with these rural bullies..."

……

Snapped!

"what!"

"If you give the grain to the grain chief, your family will have nothing to spare! If you transport it yourself, you will have nothing to spare!"

After listening to the old woman's description, Emperor Zhu Chongba was instantly moved to Niwan, and his majesty spread uncontrollably.

"Head of the family! Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth!"

Lao Zhu's anger burst out, which naturally frightened the two ordinary old couple.

Queen Ma quickly disguised herself for him.

"Sister, eldest brother, I, the head of the family, can't tolerate even a grain of sand in my eyes."

"It's also because of his character that we haven't been able to settle down."

"That needs to be changed. After all, it's not as good as being at home outside, and the masters outside can't help but feel disgusted..."

The old man and the old woman listened to Queen Ma's explanation, and finally their heartbeats slowed down.

"The master outside?"

The old man's words reminded the two of them of the fact that their children actually stayed in the government office overnight.

"Sister, the master here keeps the children..."
