"Everyone, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do at home. I'll take my leave now." The more Jia Weiran thought about it, the more worried he got. He prepared to go home first.
Everyone could understand how he felt. This was going to be troublesome. When the two kids, Xiao Bao and Cuckoo, went back and told him about this, who knew what would happen if his father wanted to take office.
After Jia Weiran left, the rest of the people looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
"Today was really fun. I didn't expect to meet two kids. Speaking of the children of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family, Zhuangzi, they are the happiest. They have been together since they were young. It's much better than those random families that their parents found for them. Sister Qi, don't you think so?"
A woman sighed and said. She was envious of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. They had been together since they were young. When they grew up, how could there be any estrangement?
Another man, who was more burly, said, "It's not just that. Look at where they were sitting just now. It's right in the corner. The one called Xiao Bao is always facing us with his left side. Weiwei is facing sideways, and the one called Cuckoo is leaning back a little.
They also have knives. If I'm not wrong, if someone really wants to attack them, even if they don't use weapons, they would at least be injured. Xiao Bao's right arm is not taken out from the side of his body when he is eating. He's not used to eating with his left hand. Don't be fooled by how smoothly he eats. When he's not eating, his right shoulder will move a little. "
"Yeah, it's the same when he's walking. His right hand is always blocking. Could it be that his right hand is not good? It's so pitiful. "The woman who spoke just now sighed.
"What's pitiful? His right hand is holding the weapon, and his left side is facing us. When he moves, he can use the force of turning to use the weapon in his right hand. It's hard for people to guard against him. Think about how they were sitting just now. Cuckoo is a girl, so she should have her legs together. However, Weiwei was the one with her legs apart. Xiao Bao even had one leg in front and one behind.
I thought about it for a while before I understood. If someone were to rush over to attack them, that Xiao Bao would turn around when he stabs his weapon, and Juan Juan would switch positions behind him. If Juan Juan could also attack, then after switching positions, the attacker would be restrained by Xiao Bao.
According to their height, as long as the knife was sharp enough, Wang Juan could stab it into the attacker's stomach. These two children are not ordinary. Fortunately, Young Master Jia did not lower himself to the children's level. Otherwise, if you really wanted to bully them, you would easily fall here. "
The strong man stood up, holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand. As he spoke, he gestured to the others. He used a stool as Wang Juan, and replaced Zhang Xiaobao's position. When someone came in front of him, he turned around and used the chopsticks in his right hand to stab that person. His feet did not stop moving, and after the stab, he shifted his position again. His body turned in a circle, and he used the chopsticks to stab that person.
If the chopsticks were a knife, the person in front of him would definitely block it. However, after he shifted his position, the stool was exposed. That was Wang Juan. As long as there was a sharp knife, he could grab it with both hands and pounce forward. The person in front of him would be exposed.
"So that's how it is. That's so scary. When the two children were sitting there, they were guarding against us. Fortunately, Young Master Jia did not go over."
The woman finally understood the knack of switching positions. She did not expect that the two children sitting there were not simple. No wonder their backs were leaning against the wall.
Young Master Han nodded, "Indeed, they are not ordinary. This means that they have been taught by others. With the wealth of the Zhang Family and Wang Family, it is too easy to get two good daggers. Perhaps they even have poison on them. Jia Weiran is in trouble now. I wonder if Cuckoo will make a move if there is really danger."
"If it were me, I would. Even if I don't have such a good dagger, I would use the hairpin on my head to stab it. However, the most dangerous one is Xiao Bao. He will be the first to face the attack. Cuckoo is the happiest person to be able to grow up with such a person."
Qi Xiaoying said with a look of yearning. At the same time, she looked at Han Xuanfeng who was beside her. This Xuanfeng was his nickname. His real name was Han Chang, Han Suijiu. There was no need to say more about his literary talent. Just based on the fact that he could go from one to ten thousand in the blink of an eye, and then from ten thousand to one, he could write a poem.
Moreover, he carried a treasured sword. It was said that his horsemanship and archery skills were not bad either. He was the only one left in his family. He had never been a wanderer like the others. He relied on his own efforts to write for others, or to hold down carriages or boats. He did not have much money and did not ask for help.
He had never done anything bad. At least that was what she knew. He was also quite generous. It was said that there was once a family of two children who were washed away by the water. He was the one who chased after them and carried them out. He was almost swallowed by the waves and was only caught by a tree after rushing for more than a mile.
Unfortunately, his family background was not as good. Or rather, he did not have any family background. He was only one person. If he had a Zhuangzi, then she … Even if she could not compare to Zhangjia Zhuangzi, a slightly more ordinary Zhuangzi would do. Perhaps, she could think of a way and ask Cuckoo how her family did it. Then, it would not be too troublesome to get him a Zhuangzi.
Hmm, she would go look for Cuckoo tomorrow. Such a sensible child would know a lot of things. If he could earn more money, she would have an excuse to tell her family.
Qi Xiaoying suddenly thought of this and decided to help Han Xuanfeng. Otherwise, there would be no time left. Her family was constantly looking for people, and if it weren't for the fact that those people were too unpresentable, she would have been married already.
"Xiaoying is indeed an extraordinary woman. If it were me, I would also be willing to stand beside her like Xiao Bao." Young Master Han did not know if it was because he was drunk or if he said this on purpose. After speaking, he did not dare to look at Qi Xiaoying. Every time she looked at him, he would avoid her gaze.

Jia Weiran came out of the restaurant and did not dare to waste any time. He found a carriage and paid double the price to get the driver to rush towards the capital. From here to the capital, it would only take one day on horseback if it was fast, two days if it was slower, and more than three days if it was by car.
This time, he wanted to see what Sanshui County was like. He had heard many things, but he felt that it would be better to see it with his own eyes. This time, he finally saw it. The drought in Sanshui County was not a big problem. From time to time, there would be ships transporting food.
The local people were also looking for work. There were many small businesses and many people helping to carry goods at the docks. In addition, they were exempted from taxes and transfers. After the autumn harvest, the people still had some spare food in their homes.
However, the only difficult thing was the Zhuangzi of Zhang Family and Wang Family. Before he came here, he had asked around. The whole yamen actually treated the two Zhuangzi as their own family. At crucial times, they would even send a message of good news from 800 miles away.
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to meet the two families. Who would have thought that this meeting would be under such circumstances? The two children had heard everything. He did not mention anything about Xing Zai, nor did he mention who should pay for the road. Instead of counting on the two children to return home, he might as well hurry to the capital and find his father to discuss this matter.
"Brother, that, you are also from Sanshui County?" Jia Weiran thought for a while and decided to find some fault with the Zhang Family and Wang Family. Now, he could only get some information from the carriage. Therefore, he leaned against the window in front of him and asked.
"You flatter me. Young Master, you should be like the others and call me Madman Ma. I am indeed from here. Originally, my father was the one driving the carriage. However, he was old and didn't do it anymore. It just so happened that he passed it to me."
The carriage was a young man. When he heard the question, he quickly replied and cracked the whip at the same time.
"Oh, brother, why do you have such a name? I wonder how Uncle is doing now? I heard that because of the drought, the harvest at home was not much. "Jia Weiran followed the conversation and said.
The carriage retracted his leg and called for the horse twice before saying, "My surname is Ma. In addition, I drive so fast like a madman. Others call me Crazy Ma. Actually, I was just fast that day. I drank too much wine and did not think about how tired the horse would be. I just kept on driving with all my might.
My father is not bad now. He does not have many things to do. He is much better than before. Young Master, since you are in such a hurry to go to the capital, do you need me to urge the horse again? "
"No need. It will be bad if it is tired. I heard that the Zhang Family and Wang Family have many things to do in Zhuangzi. They are in Tuqiao Village. It is said that they are trying to raise the price of goods. I don't know if it is true or not." Jia Weiran casually asked.
"It's fake. I know a little about what's going on over there. They've never done anything like raising prices. There must be someone who's jealous and spreading this rumor. If I find out who it is, I'll let them know if my whip hurts."
The carriage looked like he was going to fight to the death. He was there to clear the name of the Zhang Family and Wang Family in Zhuangzi.
Jia Weiran obviously did not want to hear such words. Therefore, he asked again, "Then they treat you well? Do they usually give you some money? If not, why would so many people help them buy the dregs of the wine? "
Hearing this, the carriage handle smiled and said, "There are indeed benefits. Just like what you said, they give us some money. As long as we make one or two small flags on the carriage or beside the carriage, they will give us money every month. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing."
"Make flags? What is it for? " Jia Weiran really did not know about this. He remembered that when he got on the carriage, he did see a sign on the carriage saying something about a cloth company. He even drew a picture. Only then did he understand that they could pay for it.
"This is called advertising. I don't know either. Anyway, as long as you put it on the carriage, they will give you money." The carriage handle continued.
