Chapter 398 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

The woman couldn't tell how old she was. She seemed very young, but she had the steadfastness of the old man and the vicissitudes of the weather. You said she was very old, but she looked very young.

In short, this is a mature and steady woman who seems to have experienced all the storms and waves.

Xiao Shishi buried her little head in her mother's arms, turned to look at Zhu Cilang and others at the door: "Boss Pig, come in."

The woman then turned her head and saw Zhu Cilang and others.

The alertness of strangers made the woman hug Xiao Shishi even tighter.

Zhu Cilang had no choice but to bow down in a hurry: "Madam, don't be afraid, I'm just passing by here and there is no malice. I'm waiting to come, because I have something to ask for."

Perhaps seeing that Zhu Cilang is just a child, the woman relaxed a little and nodded at Zhu Cilang: "Please come in."

"Mother, this is Boss Zhu. Are you funny? He came from the capital, and he can find my brother."

It is said that the IQ of this pig is higher than that of a dog. When Xiao Shishi said this, the pig boss in the straw shed on the east side of the courtyard wall began to hum. Perhaps, this is how Xiao Shishi calls it when she feeds it.

The name Zhu Boss is not strange. It was very common to call him the eldest and younger in the Ming Dynasty. However, in the relatively closed Huajiazhuang, Xiao Shishi rarely knew this. She only knew that the little pig she raised was called Zhu Boss, and this young man was also called Zhu Boss, which was very funny.

It's really embarrassing. Zhu Cilang is already deciding whether to buy this damn piglet and turn around and make it into a roasted suckling pig...

When the woman heard that Zhu Cilang was from the capital, she was shocked when she saw his clothes.

Zhu Cilang smiled slightly: "Madam, don't panic, we didn't say anything."

The woman was obviously afraid that Zhu Cilang would tell her daughter about the third guarding of the barracks. After hearing Zhu Cilang say this, her face immediately calmed down. A look of gratitude appeared on her face. She lowered her head and patted her daughter gently: "Shishi, the dishes are hot for you in the pot, go and eat quickly."

The little girl was immediately happy, got out of her mother's arms, and ran into the house.

When the woman saw her daughter enter the house, she dared to speak: "This little brother, what's going on with this child..."

Zhu Cilang nodded: "I understand, I will tell her that her brother was transferred to Liaodong."

"Thank you." Although the purpose of the visit was not explained, the woman was secretly grateful to Zhu Cilang. At the same time, she had already felt that Zhu Cilang was extraordinary.

This is indeed a well-informed woman. With just a few words, she can feel that she can hide this for her daughter. In addition, the two people who are following Zhu Cixuan. Even in the capital, she will never be an ordinary child.

"If you don't dislike me, please sit down." The woman was polite and looked very generous.

This surprised Zhu Cilang. In such a remote countryside, he could meet such a generous and well-educated woman. He also felt that this woman was extraordinary.

She is by no means an ordinary village woman, but more like a former lady. From naming her daughter to living such a refined life in this family, she is by no means an ordinary farmer's home.

There is a stone table in the yard, the so-called stone table, and four stone stools next to it. This is not the processed stone table and stone bench, but a natural stone slab and a few stones moved to the yard.

Poverty, but still seems to have a sense of life.

Zhu Cilang had no choice but to go over and sit down. At this time, Xiao Shishi brought the food out of the house. It can be seen that she had received good tutoring and was different from ordinary village girls.

"Brother Zhu, you are hungry too. I will serve you a bowl." Xiao Shishi enthusiastically handed Zhu Cilang a pair of chopsticks, and then put a bowl of coarse grain rice in front of him.

"I, I'm not hungry, we've all eaten it just now." Zhu Cixuan replied politely.

Xiao Shishi sat down with a "Oh" sound. She held her own small bowl and ate very deliciously. She was also very particular when eating. Even if she was hungry, she would not eat voraciously, and she did not slap her lips. Instead, she was very gentle.

The woman seemed to see Zhu Cilang's doubts and could only explain with a smile: "We moved here in the sixth year of the Tianqi period. It has been fifteen years since our husband taught here. When Shishi was five years old, my husband left."

Zhu Cixuan saw through the door of the yard that there were many books in their house: "A family of scholars must be very knowledgeable."

The woman smiled and did not answer. She just changed the subject and asked, "I don't know what the little brother came from afar, what's the matter when he went out to this remote countryside?"

Zhu Cilang bowed: "Oh, we were appointed by the court. I want to come here to investigate whether the people from the imperial village are rampant in your countryside. If there is any such incident, please let the wife tell you truthfully, and we will report back to the court and punish them strictly."

This is a smart woman, and Zhu Cilang doesn't want to hide it from her. He won't tell her truthfully. If this is true, he will investigate it to the end.

The woman said the same thing as Xiao Shishi said: "In the past few years, I heard that a small eunuch came to the palace to take charge of the inner prison of the imperial village. After he took office, he strictly regulated his subordinates. He heard that he had arrested a few evil people and sent them to Shuntian Mansion for the law. Later, we were all peaceful. Luo Zhuangtou in our village has always been in a fair manner, and the villagers respected it very much."

Zhu Cilang was happy inside. The inner supervisor of the imperial village, wasn’t that the bastard Liu Laifu? It seems that this guy is doing well.

Wangcai behind him was also very happy when he heard this. Meng Fanchao beside him wink at him. Wangcai was shocked and knew that he could not be exposed. He hurriedly lowered his head.

"Who has arrived at Master Shen's house? I want to see who is the sacred place." At this moment, a thick voice sounded outside the yard, and a group of people were following him.

Everyone stood up in shock. Zhu Cilang then discovered that a middle-aged man came in, followed by some villagers holding sticks and hoes. In addition, several tea-picking girls were following behind him.

When the woman saw it, she hurriedly introduced: "Little brother, this is the owner of our Huajiazhuang, Luo Xingenluo Manor."

Zhu Cilang understood that he had to go to Shen Shishi's house to see a pig. These older girls felt something was wrong. They thought Zhu Cilang was like a bad person. So they ran back and told the owner.

When the Lord Luo heard this, no one would go to see a pig for no reason. This kid must have bad intentions. So he brought a few villagers in the village to come over in a hurry.

It seems that this Lord Luo is really a good person. But he calls this family member Master Shen, what does this mean...

Meng Fanchao bowed his hand, pulled Master Luo to the side, and whispered: "Master Luo, please don't worry, let's talk with you."
