Chapter 244

Half an hour later, Ji Zhao saw the six guards.

The six people sent by Qin Minghong were not only physically strong, but each of them had extraordinary martial arts skills.

Ji Zhao expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, "During this time, the big brothers have been guarding the Shen family compound, but I have a heartfelt request, and I hope you can help."

"Third Madam speaks directly, and the subordinates should go all out."

"I hope you can help build a secret path, starting from the Earth Temple, and ending at the kitchen of the Shen Family Courtyard." Ji Zhao immediately took out a blueprint from his sleeve and explained in detail, "I All the routes of the secret passage have been planned. As long as a few big brothers dig the secret passage according to the direction on the blueprint, I believe the secret passage will be opened soon."

"It's not difficult to dig out the secret path, but does the third lady have any requirements for time? If there are only six of us, I'm afraid it will take a while."

"Don't worry, before February 2, you can already dig through the secret passage." Ji Zhao said confidently, "Maybe a mysterious 'friend' will come to help."

The six people looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally nodded to accept the task.

The matter of the secret way was put on the agenda, and Ji Zhao's heart became more at ease.

"Ah Yao, let's go home!"

Shen Yao nodded slightly, even though he was full of doubts, he still didn't ask.

After all, he knew A Tao, if there was something she could say, she would definitely say it.

In the following days, Ji Zhao did another thing;

That is to try my best to persuade my eldest brother and sister-in-law to return to the city as soon as possible to open a pastry shop;

"Originally, I thought it would open after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year," Shen Dalang said with a smile, "Later, it was delayed until the fifteenth day... But don't tell me you have been busy for a whole year, and I finally took a break. I don't want to move Already!"

"I think you are so lazy!" Zhao Lanhua poked his forehead angrily, raised his hand and twisted his ears, and said angrily, "Didn't you say you wanted to open a branch before?" ?Diligence neglected in play!"

"It hurts, it hurts!" Shen Dalang hurriedly begged for mercy, "Mother, don't pinch your son's ears! In front of my brothers and sisters, you should save me some face!"

Only then did Zhao Lanhua let go angrily, "I still don't know you? Once you are free, you will be lazy. You and your wife will pack your bags tonight and go back to the county tomorrow!"

"This shop, even if it doesn't open for a day, it is in a state of loss! Besides, you are not allowed to send the carriage you rented back to the carriage?" Zhao Lanhua calculated the accounts one by one, "I am still waiting for you Earn money and honor me! Do you want to sit at home and eat? There is no way!"

"Master, please accompany the boss back to the pastry shop first, and come back when the weather is warmer." Zhao Lanhua's eyes fell on Mrs. Shen's high swollen abdomen, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried, but she thought of what A Tao said earlier. If so, she still suppressed that worry.

"Okay." Mrs. Shen obediently responded.

"Second," Zhao Lanhua looked at Shen Zhang again and said, "In two days, you can take your wife and Xiao Zhuang to your old man's house to stay for two days!"

"In the past few years, Taiping Village has not been peaceful at all. There are mountains there, and the life of the villagers is not easy, but your father-in-law is stubborn, and he insists on supporting the whole family on his own. Previously, your daughter-in-law When Tim Xiaozhuang was young, your father-in-law even sent someone a silver lock." Zhao Lanhua said very seriously, "I will let your elder brother send you there tomorrow, and then you will stay there for a while longer. , As for the ceremony, Mother has prepared it for you too."

"One hanging bacon, two big carp, three cakes, four bolts of good cloth, five taels of silver."

"Mother?" At that time, Second Aunt Shen was so moved that she didn't know what to say, "Mother, you are so kind... woo woo woo..."

Second Aunt Shen suddenly rushed in front of Zhao Lanhua, hugged her arm, and cried aloud.

"Stupid boy," Zhao Lanhua wiped her tears lovingly, and comforted her softly, "I wronged you when I asked you to marry the second child of my family...Mother knew it all in her heart!"

"Mother, I'm not wronged." Second Aunt Shen shook her head quickly, and said with firm eyes, "I'm very happy to be able to marry Erlang."

Ji Zhao blinked curiously, and she carefully tugged on Shen Yao's sleeve;

The two quietly left the hall.

At this moment, in the cloudy sky, it began to rain suddenly.

The drizzle of rain flowed all the way along the blue eaves and landed on the steps, making a tick-tock sound.

"It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil!" Ji Zhao said cheerfully, "I believe that in a few days, there will definitely be a lot of spring bamboo shoots on the mountain."

"At that time, I will go digging with A Tao."

"Okay." Ji Zhao suddenly raised his eyes and smiled brightly at him.

Shen Yao smiled back, then embraced her fragrant shoulders, and looked at the rain in front of her with her.

"Second brother and second sister-in-law, they?" Ji Zhao looked up at the man beside him, blinking his eyes, curious.

"The second sister-in-law's surname is Jiang, and she was originally from Taiping Village; the second sister-in-law's father is a well-known carpenter, so the second sister-in-law's family background is very well-off." Shen Yao explained with a smile, "The second sister-in-law has had a carpenter since she was a child." The marriage contract, but later the second sister-in-law found out that the person her fiancé liked was her eldest sister Jiang Ruixue."

"Later, the second elder brother accidentally rescued the second sister-in-law who was bitten by a snake, and had a physical relationship with the second sister-in-law, so the engagement on the second sister-in-law was automatically dissolved, and the second brother married the second sister-in-law." Shen Yao said concisely, " It's just that the father of the second sister-in-law has never been very satisfied with the second brother, and even when the second sister-in-law got married, he didn't run wine in the village..."

"Did the eldest sister of the Jiang family get together with the second sister-in-law's ex-fiancé?"

"No." Shen Yao shook his head, "Jiang's eldest sister conceived first before marriage, and later accidentally miscarried, she... has become a monk."

Didn't expect the story to develop to the end, it turned out to be such a result?

Ji Zhao couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"In the past two years or so, Uncle Jiang's family has always returned the presents that Second Sister-in-law asked someone to bring over every year." Shen Yao said softly, "A Tao, don't look at Second Sister-in-law's giggles on the surface, in fact she It must still be painful.”

"I understand." Ji Zhao nodded, "But now I feel that Mother's proposal just now is really good~"

Later, Second Aunt Shen knocked on Ji Zhao's door.

Looking at the broken silver on the table, Ji Zhao's expression was very bewildered.

"Second sister-in-law?"

"A Tao, don't get me wrong~" Second Aunt Shen said with a smile, "Actually, I want to ask you for a favor, so you must accept these three taels of silver!"
