Zhangjia Village, Zhangfu, today is the sacrifice day of Miss Sijie, incense, candles, and paper tables, the eldest lady is lit up early in the morning, in front of the hall is the big sacrifice of the fifth aunt, and the courtyard of the eldest lady is a small sacrifice. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Zhang Haocheng and Zhang Sixin are Zhang Sijie's younger brothers and sisters, and they also came to the courtyard to worship with the eldest lady.

But what is very surprising is that the fourth aunt was also restless and extremely nervous this day, the window was closed tightly, Yahuan Xiaoke came in with a food tray, and she was so frightened that she jumped up.

The fourth aunt reprimanded: "Bold Xiao Ke, come in and don't knock on the door, are you going to scare me to death?" Xiao Ke bowed and said: "The fourth aunt is too sorry, the slave is guilty." By the way, Fourth Auntie, when the slave and maid passed outside the yard just now, someone threw a paper ball in the tray in the slave's hand......"

Speaking of the paper ball, the fourth aunt was too nervous, because Zhang Shenglie suddenly fainted that day, there was chaos in the house, and the fourth aunt did not follow the paper ball picked up at the door of the hall to write, ready to put five hundred taels under the big tree in the courtyard. After her observation in the past two days, there are no suspicious people sneaking to take out the silver taels. Today is the third day, and a paper ball in the tray comes into view, and the fourth aunt is too pale.

The fourth aunt said, "Xiao Ke, have you seen the person who threw the paper ball?"

Xiao Ke bent his knees and responded: "The fourth aunt is too relieved, the slave knows that this paper ball is for the fourth aunt, and the slave and maid dare not open it rashly." When a ball of paper appeared in the tray, the slave and maid looked around the courtyard with their eyes open, but no one noticed it, as if the paper ball had fallen from the sky and suddenly floated from the clouds. ”

The fourth aunt said too coldly: "Xiao Ke, if you talk nonsense again, I am not polite to you." Where is this paper ball for me, the paper ball is thrown in the tray, it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Yes, yes, the slave is wrong, the paper ball was picked up by the slave and the slave, and it belongs to the slave. Xiao Ke bowed down and said, "Fourth aunt, if there is nothing wrong, the slave will retire first." Seeing that the fourth aunt waved her hand, Xiao Ke breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked out of the room. Of course, she left the tray.

At the moment when the door was closed, a cold wind blew, Xiao Ke shivered, shrunk and walked away. But what she didn't notice was that on the side outside the door, there was a person quietly hiding at this time, and he caught a small alleyway to cover it, and saw that he was tall and simple, and he was actually the leading guard in the mansion, Achu. How could Achu be here? Could it be that he threw that paper ball?

Of course not. Ah Chu was just ordered by Zhang Jinghong to hide here and monitor the fourth aunt's every move. It's been two days, and the fourth aunt is quite normal, living as usual, but on Zhang Sijie's sacrifice day, she looked a little restless and had already turned around the room a few times. And when she saw this inexplicable paper ball, the fourth aunt's reaction was equally sensitive.

Achu saw all this clearly and remembered it in his heart. At this time, I saw that the fourth aunt in the room hurriedly grabbed the paper ball in the tray and unfolded it, which turned out to be a blank piece of paper. The fourth aunt felt a little incredible, turned to the other side, and looked at it carefully, but there were no words, and she immediately frowned slightly, and her expression was soothing.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Zhang Haocheng's voice came: "It's me!" The fourth aunt was startled, strode over, and opened the door, leading him in.

The fourth aunt was too busy to ask: "Haocheng, you are crazy, in broad daylight, you dare to come in......?"

Zhang Hao responded: "Don't worry, it's okay." My father has fallen asleep after taking the medicine, the eldest lady is still in the courtyard to worship Sijie, Jinghong went to visit the villagers, and the people in the house are busy with the affairs of the fifth aunt, so they can't take care of you for the time being. As soon as I passed by the gate of your yard, I saw Xiao Ke in a daze, and I knew that something was wrong, so I came in quietly. ”

"Haocheng, I'm so afraid of ......" The fourth aunt threw herself into Zhang Haocheng's arms. At this time, Ah Chu, who was hiding outside the room, widened his eyes in shock, and he covered his mouth with his hand, for fear that he would accidentally scream.

I saw Zhang Haocheng gently patting the fourth aunt's back, wordlessly comforting her for a while, then letting her go and taking the paper ball. He looked at it carefully and said, "Strange, there are no words, do you say it's the same person?"

The fourth aunt nodded and said, "It should be, today is the third, this person should remind us to prepare five hundred taels before tonight and put it under the big tree in the courtyard." Haocheng, do we really have to do what he says?"

Zhang Haocheng analyzed: "This is an empty paper ball, nothing is written, it can be seen that this person is also worried that the content on the paper will be seen by others, I think, this person does not want to shake out our affairs." At the very least, until he gets five hundred taels, he will keep it a secret for us. ”

The fourth aunt was too shocked and said, "Hao Cheng, but after he gets the money, will he shake this out and let everyone know?" Or will he come to us endlessly to ask for silver taels?"

Zhang Haocheng was in a trance, his eyebrows were tightened, his face was gloomy, and he was obviously helpless. After being stunned for a long time, he said: "We have no better way now, we can only stabilize him and give him money according to his request." If he still has a follow-up move, let's discuss countermeasures and slowly figure out who this person is. ”

The fourth aunt was too unwilling to say: "Haocheng, can we only be at his mercy?"

Zhang Haocheng sighed and said: "Jinghong is the first capable person in Zhangjia Village, he is trained by an old catcher, and his ability is extraordinary. Besides, the seven guests in the house are not ordinary people, and there are many people, so we can only suffer some grievances for the time being. ”

"Hao Cheng......" The fourth aunt grabbed Zhang Haocheng's arm too tightly, pressed her face tightly to his chest, and said gently: "Hao Cheng, I promised you the previous proposal, let's elope, okay? I'm so afraid of this kind of sneaky days, I want to be with you openly, let's go to a place where no one knows us, okay?"

Zhang Haocheng's eyes lit up, because what the fourth aunt said at this time was exactly what he had thought before. But at that time, when he proposed it to the fourth aunt, she did not agree. may be reluctant to be her fourth aunt's identity, and reluctant to be rich and noble in Zhangfu. If Zhang Haocheng heard such words at that time, he must have been very excited, but at this moment, after experiencing so many things, he seemed to have grown up overnight. The fourth aunt said that he was not very happy.

Zhang Haocheng pushed away the fourth aunt and said, "I'm sorry, my father is not in good health, and he needs to be taken care of by my son at this time, and I can't leave him behind." After all this time, I noticed that my father was much older, and I blamed me for not listening to him properly. ”
