Chapter 36, peaches and plums don't say

Out of the middle hall, Zu Zhao was ready to return to his residence. As soon as he came to the corridor, he suddenly chased his cousin Zu Zhan.

"Big son, take a step."

Zu Zhao thought that Zu Zhan was coming to talk about the dispute in the hall just now, and he turned around with no expression on his face.

"A Zhan, let's talk about other things tomorrow."

"But I just went to see Uncle Hong. Uncle Hong said that if you come back, please go there. He seems to have something to tell you." Zu Zhan only thought that Zu Zhao was still a little angry, so he kept calm and told him.

"Oh? Did Uncle Hong say anything about it?" Zu Zhao restrained his emotions a little and asked.

"I didn't tell you. The eldest son, you'd better go there when you have time." Zu Zhan said.

After saying goodbye to Zu Zhan, Zu Zhao saw that it was not too late, so he turned to the backyard.

Most of Uncle Hong and some helpers of the horse farm live in the backyard near the horse farm. There is a special courtyard, divided into two catties, with a total of seven large rooms and six small rooms. The big house has a separate courtyard, which can be said to be a courtyard with a different path in the backyard of Zujiazhuang.

When he came to the courtyard where Uncle Hong lived, he asked Uncle Hong's family to give a notice on his behalf, and then he entered the house.

Uncle Hong's family is all afraid that the eldest son can come in person. Even though Uncle Hong is the housekeeper of the ancestral horse farm, he is still a subordinate. Zu Zhao did not have any airs. Instead, he politely greeted Uncle Hong's family first, and then went into the inner room to visit Uncle Hong lying on the bed.

After a day of conditioning, Uncle Hong's injury is no longer serious, and his whole look is much better than yesterday.

Seeing that Uncle Hong was going to struggle to get up and salute, Zu Zhao quickly came forward to persuade him and said, "Uncle Hong doesn't have to be polite."

Uncle Hong sighed, and his thin face was still full of guilt. He said, "Because of carelessness at the next moment, Zhuang Shang's people are really ashamed to panic these two days."

Zu Zhao laughed and said, "Uncle Hong, don't say such a thing. Wouldn't it be better to prove that my ancestral family is willing?"

Uncle Hong then laughed twice, sighed again, relaxed his mood, and said, "Before, the eldest son told me to inquire about a man named Han Dang when he went down to Lingzhi County. On the first day the next pedestrian arrived in Lingzhi County, I made a special trip to visit the county. Sure enough, there was indeed this person."

Zu Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "So Uncle Hong came to me for this matter?"

Uncle Hong nodded and smiled, "After all, it was ordered by the eldest son. It was delayed these two days and I couldn't tell you in time."

Zu Zhao then asked, "What can Uncle Hong hear about this person?"

Uncle Hong said: "This man is quite chivalrous in Lingzhi County. In the last year, he was not used to see several local market scoundrels who bullied his neighbors and insulted the elders, so he taught him a lesson, but he accidentally killed people and fled overnight to avoid the arrest of the county. It is said that the neighbors have spontaneously petitioned the county government many times to pardon their negligence, but to no avail.

Zu Zhao heard these words, which were no different from what Han Dang said. He looked thoughtful and didn't say anything.

After a pause, Uncle Hong continued to say, "I found out about Han Dang's former residence. There are still old parents and several poor relatives who fled to him in the early years. Several people live on three mu of thin fields. But later, because the house of the cityman who was killed kept making trouble, he finally turned Bo Tian into compensation, and his life became more and more sad.

Hearing this, Zu Zhao immediately asked, "Can Uncle Hong help me according to my wishes?"

Uncle Hong nodded quickly and said, "This is natural. Although I don't know what this Han Dang has to do with the eldest son, the eldest son is righteous and must not dare to neglect him. I happened to have ten taels of silver, so I gave them all to the old man of the Han family. The old man of the Han family refused to accept it and repeatedly asked about his identity. I have no choice but to deduce that it was conveyed by Han Dang himself.

Zu Zhao said with approval, "Well, that's the best."

Uncle Hong was a little surprised. Although he knew earlier that Zu Zhaoyang entrusted this matter not to seek any good reputation, it did not mean that there would be no benefits at all. If it is not conveyed by Han Dang himself, the Han family will certainly remember the kindness of an unknown person; but once they lie that it is conveyed by Han Dang himself, the Han family will naturally accept it calmly and will not have any memory in their hearts.

Then he chatted with Uncle Hong about other things and told Uncle Hong what he had heard today, and Zu Zhao got up and left.

Zu Zhao knows Han Dang's character, so he secretly helps him in this way. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not accept food. Maybe Han Dang will not think he is a gentleman, but people with backbone will never be willing to ask others unless they really have to. He appreciates such an iron man as Handang, which is not only his personality charm, but also his simple character. Compared with the era when later generations do not take advantage of others at all, it is naturally valuable.

When he returned to the inner courtyard residence, he felt a little hungry. After all, he had been running outside all day. He was in a hurry to come back in the evening and didn't eat anything. Even if a servant was called to prepare some supper.

The servant quickly brought some hot snacks and snacks. After placing the bowls and chopsticks, he added, "Son, the woman you brought back... that woman... er, she won't eat."

Zu Zhao just changed his clothes and couldn't help frowning when he heard the servant's words. After he came out of Uncle Hong, he almost forgot this. With a deep sigh, he asked the servant, "How is she now?"

The servant shook his head and said helplessly, "The man refused to speak or have a good rest on the bed. He tore off all the bedding on the bed and hid in the corner of the wing room, just like... like... a savage..." The servant was afraid of angering the eldest son and couldn't help saying the last sentence. Be careful.

After thinking for a while, Zu Zhao said patiently, "Take me there."

The servant answered, "Yes."

Follow the servant out of the residence and come to another small yard west of the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard is full of relatives of the ancestral family. Even the wing room prepared here is by no means an ordinary place to live in. Most of the relatives and nobles of non-ethnic families are arranged to go to the west courtyard. Zu Zhao did not deliberately order his servants to arrange Gulinar here, but even if you think about it, when the troubled times are coming, there are so many relatives and nobles who come to his home to live here, which is more convenient to take care of.

Standing in the small courtyard outside the wing room, I saw that the doors and windows of the room were dark.

Zu Zhao couldn't help frowning, and the servant shook his head and sighed, "She blew out the candlestick. She kept making noise when the lamp was lit before. Every time we retreated, she turned off the candlestick without permission, and the little people could do nothing.

Zu Zhao did not say anything and stepped forward to open the door in person. The room was lonely, but there was a slight fragmentary sound at the moment the door opened. He first asked the servant to retreat, then stepped into the house and took a look at the overturned candlestick and unmoved food on the table in the small hall. His heart suddenly felt some distress. On the one hand, he felt that it was difficult for women to deal with, and on the other hand, he did not know how to arrange Gulnar in the future.

He walked through the small hall and came to the bedroom. The bedroom was a little messy. The bedding on the bed was thrown everywhere, and the quilts, mattresses and bed curtains disappeared. The inner corner of the room is very dark, and there is a figure curled up there. Gulnar wrapped himself tightly in a quilt, and put the Buddha next to a small tent, shrinking into a weak ball.

To be able to behave like this, it can be seen that Gulinael feels that he has completely lost all protection.

Zu Zhao couldn't help but feel a little pity. He walked over slowly. In order not to scare the other party, he deliberately asked, "How are you now?"

The condened bedding trembled and there was no sound reply.

Zu Zhao came to the front, squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to uncover the bedding. He thought that Gulnar would resist and struggle, but he never thought that it would be so easy for him to uncover the bedding, but his hand suddenly felt a touch of moisture when he touched the bedding.

Gulnar, who was hiding in it, curled up. She was arranged to take a hot bath earlier. Her whole body had been cleaned and changed into a Hanfu, but she didn't know why she didn't tie the belt, so that her clothes were loose and her shoulders were half exposed. She held her small and ** legs in her hands and buried her cheeks in her arms. The wetness on the bedding was full of her tears.

Zu Zhao immediately smelled a warm body fragrance that had just been bathed, and his mind was a little trance. He did not intend to take advantage of the other party, so he deliberately sorted out the bedding wrapped around Gulnar and surrounded her body so as not to cover his head.

"Why don't you eat?" He asked softly.

Grinal slowly raised her head, and her big blue eyes with tears were very crystal clear in the dark, so charming.

"You... You can obviously help us... But you... You only saved me... I won't be grateful to you, never..." After a while, she choked and said, with a strong exotic accent, mixed with tears, it became more and more desolate and blurred.

"Why don't you think so? I can completely ignore you, but I saved your life in the end." Zu Zhao said in a lukewarm tone. He knows that his words are almost cruel, but it is also an indisputable fact that he is not a philanthropist, not to mention that there are more important things now.

Gulinaer's tears scratched her eyes and fell along her delicate cheeks.

"You shouldn't have come here." After a while, Zu Zhao sighed.

"If we don't starve, we won't come here... You Han people are not good people..." When Gulnar said this, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and she lowered her head again and cried.

"If you are willing to eat now," Zu Zhao said again after thinking for a long time, "I can consider promising to help you save your companion. Of course, I can't give you any guarantee, I can only promise to do my best."

Gulinaer raised his head in surprise and looked at the beautiful man in front of him in disbelief.

"Now, our ancestral village also has a lot of troubles. Now that I have saved you, I naturally hope you can survive. I will continue to help you within my ability. Of course, you should also understand a truth. It's better to rely on yourself than anyone. The first thing you need now is to live well. Zu Zhao said earnestly.

"I..." Gulinael wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end. Her blue eyes had a lot of worries, and her delicate face turned slightly crimson. "Thank you...thank you..."
