With this call, the crowd looked around for the child prodigy.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a single doll present. All of them were adults.
What was going on?
Could it be that the child prodigy was not here? Today was the day the results were released!
At this moment.
Just as everyone was puzzled, three adults and one child appeared at the corner of the street.
A young woman with delicate features walked out from the corner, holding a little guy's hand. Two farmer men followed behind him.
Seeing the unfamiliar little fellow appear, everyone present looked at him.
10, 10, 100, 300, 500…
All eyes were fixed on the child like needles.
Feeling the attention of the crowd, the young woman was so frightened that she took a step back.
Chen An, on the other hand, was stunned
. Why are you all staring at the baby?
Suddenly!
A tall man in a tight suit rushed forward.
He cupped his hands and bowed.
"Little child, may I ask if you are Chen An?”
Uh…Is
Baby that famous?
Chen An nodded with a confused look.
At this moment, the man in tight-fitting clothes was overjoyed. He instantly reached out and grabbed the little fellow. Then, he suddenly lifted it up and hugged it in his arms...
Dong dong dong!
Dong dong dong!
The man in the tight-fitting outfit ran away with the little fellow in his arms like the wind!
It was as fast as lightning.
The Chens didn't even have time to react.
Xu Sanlang and his son, who had followed him, didn't have time to react.
The people behind him also did not react in time.
What was going on?
What kind of situation was this?
o(╯□╰)o!
Two
breaths later.
"Ah! My An 'er, my An' er has been snatched away!”The Miss Chen screamed.
This voice broke the silence of the crowd.
The servants of the various merchants and wealthy families cursed loudly.
"F * ck, the Zhao family is too shameless. They actually sent martial artists to snatch people!”
"Hurry up! Stop him! Quickly get someone to stop him!"
"Charge! Stop Zhao Laosan!"
"Quickly report to the county magistrate that there are robbers robbing people on the street. Our child prodigy was snatched away by the wicked!”
The scene was a mess.
Some people rushed out, some ran into the examination hall to report, and some ran to the Chen family's daughter to comfort the child prodigy's mother…the
county town. In the hall of the examination hall.
"What is it? What did you say? Wen Kui was taken away by a villain? Bastard, there are evil people in Jiangling! Where is the county captain?"
"I'm a man of the world!"
"Immediately gather a group of soldiers and capture the criminals for the county! Remember, you must ensure that the child prodigy is safe and sound!”
"Here!"
The county captain led the troops and quickly left…the
west side of the city. Zhao Manor.
As a major family in the county, the Zhao family was wealthy. Not only did they monopolize the cloth business in the entire Jiangling County, they even extended their tentacles to the three neighboring counties.
Originally, the Zhao family should be very satisfied with their business.
However, as a merchant, all his current assets were only superficial wealth.
Perhaps one day, they would be exterminated.
Thus, the Zhao Clan had been trying to join the 'scholar' class since the previous generation.
Not only did they sponsor the smart sons of poor families to study many times, but they also "selected sons-in-law" every year.
Unfortunately…he
had captured one last year, but the other party would rather die than submit.
I didn't catch him the year before last.
I didn't catch him last year.
The year before last, I caught a married man.
o(╯□╰)o!
But it didn't matter.
Heaven will not let down those who work hard. If we endure hardships and taste gall, we can conquer Wu with three thousand troops.
Perseverance was victory.
We caught another one this year, wakaka!
At this moment.
The Zhao Manor was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and the word "happy" was pasted everywhere.
Meanwhile, the Zhao Clan Patriarch stood in front of the main gate, patiently waiting for his subordinates to return.
The maids were also looking forward to the arrival of the new son-in-law.
Fifteen minutes,
two minutes, two hours
, four hours…
Suddenly!
Footsteps came from ahead, as if someone was running at high speed.
Hearing this voice, the Zhao Clan Leader's spirit shook.
"He's here! Zhao Laosan was back. It must be him!”
As expected.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Zhao Residence, Zhao Laosan appeared from the street and ran toward the Zhao Residence.
He seemed to be holding a little doll in his arms.
Eh?
What was going on?
Why did he carry a little doll?
The Zhao Clan Leader was dumbfounded.
The servant girls were also dumbfounded.
In just seven breaths, Zhao Laosan arrived in front of the Zhao Manor.
"Master, I got it! I've snatched back this year's county literary examination!”Zhao Laosan panted as he reported.
Hearing this, the Zhao Clan Leader was stunned.
"Wen Kui? Him? A child?"
"Yes, Master! The name of Wen Kui announced by the examination hall was him, it was absolutely true!”
Zhao Laosan nodded repeatedly, almost swearing on the spot.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhao Clan Leader lowered his head slightly and looked at the little fellow.
The little fellow smiled and winked at him, looking adorable.
The Zhao Clan Leader: "..." The
servant girls: "..." A
seven-year-old child got first place in the examination. Oh my god, this is an ancient legend, an ancient legend!
Could it be that our Zhao Clan has snatched a treasure today?
However, isn't this age…a little too young?
Ugh!
Forget it, he had already snatched it back. He had to send it to the bridal chamber first.
"Men! Carry the young master to the bridal chamber!"
The Zhao Clan Leader waved his hand, and two servant girls immediately came forward. They took the child from Zhao Laosan's hands and ran into the manor.
Along the way.
The little fellow did not cry or make a fuss. His curious expression made the maidservants praise him repeatedly.
"Is this our future son-in-law? Oh my god, it's so small!"
"Can you sleep in the bridal chamber at such a young age? I don't think so, right?"
"Sigh, poor miss. Master is too
…" Keep your voice down, you'll be whipped if you get sued!”
The servant girls immediately stopped talking and quickly walked through the garden into the backyard.
... In
front of the Zhao Manor.
The moment the maids carried the little fellow away, countless people appeared on the streets.
There were the Zhou Family's manservant, the Xu Family's attendant, and the Xu Family's servant. There were servants of the Wei Clan, even the Zhang Clan's butler…
Everyone rushed to the Zhao Manor.
"Halt! Halt! What do you want to do? Under the bright sun, what are you doing in front of my Zhao Manor?”
Patriarch Zhao shouted loudly as he guarded the gate.
The crowd stopped.
"Old Zhao, let my son-in-law out!" The Xu family's attendant stepped forward. He's a member of the Xu family!"
"Bah! What son-in-law? Have you asked my Zhou family? The child prodigy is the son-in-law of the Zhou family. When did he become the Xu family's?”
"Ah pui! The Zhou family was nothing! He's our Wei family's son-in-law!"
"Alright! Cut the crap!"
Steward Zhang took a step forward and glared at the Zhao Clan Leader."Old Zhao, I'm from the Zhang family in the south of the city. Chen An is the disciple of my master, Zhang Chuannan, and also the son-in-law of our Zhang family. Hand it over immediately. Otherwise, when my master sends a letter to the state capital, he will definitely confiscate your entire Zhao family.”
Everyone fell silent.
Patriarch Zhao's face darkened.
(Today is the fifth watch. I want to spend flowers and collect them.) Thank you.)
