I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 189 Good idea

That morning, the main beam of the school building built by Shen Xiaoye's family was finally put up. She mixed in with a group of children, scrambling for the candies that the masters who were putting up the beams sprinkled from the roof.

The little black cat grabbed the candies faster than her. It seemed that the candies were stuffed into its pouch, but actually they went into the space on its collar.

It was having fun with the children when it suddenly left and came to Shen Xiaoye, saying, "The Taoist priest is here."

"Where is it?" Shen Xiaoye walked through the bustling crowd, shook off the yamen runners who were watching the fun, and stood outside the wall which had not yet been built, looking around.

She didn't see any Taoist priest coming over, so she asked, "Can you see far away now?"

Little Black Cat: "No, I heard the familiar sound of horse hooves.

It is one of the two horses you gave to the two Taoist priests, and it has now entered the village."

"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, why did you run out when I couldn't see you? Some kids were crying because they didn't get any candies, and your grandma asked us to go home and get some more." Originally, Shen Cungeng had taken several days off to come back and take care of his great-grandfather, but now that there is someone to take care of him at home, he focuses his main energy on the school building here.

He grabbed the little black cat and stroked its fur as he walked, "Did you notice? Grandpa likes lively places.

I think that after the school building opens, he can serve as the children's martial arts instructor.

You know, Brother Hui said he is not interested in taking the exam this year, and plans to stay in the village to take care of my grandfather and his parents, and help teach some classes."

"It's a good idea." Shen Xiaoye thought about it and agreed. When people get older and have nothing to do, they have to find something to occupy their hands so as not to get sick from idleness.

At this time of year in previous years, the fields at home needed weeding and fertilizing, and my grandfather was very busy, but he was in good health.

But she had another question: "Cousin Hui's injury hasn't healed yet, so it's understandable that he won't take part in the county exam, but he wants to stay and teach, doesn't Uncle Changshun object?"

Shen Cungeng rubbed the little black cat's head and said with some pride: "Of course I objected, but when Brother Hui got angry, he couldn't stop him.

Moreover, my aunt also supports my cousin to live in the village for a while, mainly because their family has no plans to return to the capital in the next few months.

I think our Jiuli Village is pretty good. It’s quiet and harmonious, and we have enough food and clothing.

"Xiao Ye... why are you running?" He was just talking excitedly when he saw his cousin running away.

The little black cat also broke free from his arms and chased after him.

Shen Cungeng looked over and saw that the man riding the horse in front was his fourth uncle. He also ran over to lead the horse, "Fourth uncle, you didn't send me a message in advance so that I could go to the city to pick you up."

After saying this, he greeted Taoist Qingxi who had dismounted from his horse, and Guard Xia who had appeared and disappeared mysteriously.

But he was a little confused. Why was Master Wang’s servant also following behind the horse?

"Today is the day for the banquet, and everyone has arrived just in time." Shen Xiaoye looked at her fourth uncle who had grown taller and looked more impressive than before.

Shen Changsui nodded slightly and asked, "Is my sister-in-law at home or at the school?"

Why ask my aunt first? Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but look at Mr. Wang's servant, who seemed very anxious.

Shen Cungeng didn't think too much about it. "My mother is preparing the banquet at home. Today, the elders and all the helpers are sitting at the table. She has to be in charge.

Look, the one in the courtyard directing the women to cut vegetables and arrange the dishes is my mother."

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a number of people in their teens busying around in the Shen family courtyard, while Huang was sitting in an armchair, constantly talking to the people who were looking for her.

The person around her was Erniu's mother who was taking care of her.

Mr. Wang's servant couldn't help but take two quick steps, but found that everyone else had stopped moving.

Shen Changsui said, "Don't bother my sister-in-law. Geng'er, go find my brother."

"Oh." Shen Cungeng didn't know what was going on, but it was not a good time to ask, so he hurriedly ran towards the school building.

The two yamen runners who had lost Shen Xiaoye ran into him and asked, "Young Master Shen, have you seen Miss Shen?"

"My home..." Shen Cungeng spoke so quickly that neither of them could hear what he said next.

When they came over, Shen Xiaoye and Shen Changsui were whispering something to one side: "...Did you run into them halfway?"

"Well, only Captain Xia and I are together, while Taoist Qingxi is with the Wang family." Shen Changsui revealed Guard Xia's physical condition in one sentence.

Shen Xiaoye resisted the urge to look at Guard Xia a few more times. Oh, no, he should be called Captain Xia now. He is too young. No wonder he doesn't have the calmness of Captain Zhao.

Captain Zhao, who was far away in Jizhen, felt an inexplicable itch in his ears. He touched his ears and looked into the distance to the north, muttering to himself that he wondered whether his nephew had reached Tuha City.

Looking at Shen Xiaoye on this side, she asked again: "Didn't they meet by chance?"

Shen Changsui denied it. He said seriously, "No, Mr. Wang's aunt and her group had some problems on the way, and they just happened to run into a few Taoist priests who were traveling west."

"What's the matter?" Shen Xiaoye asked nervously.

Shen Changsui sighed softly and said, “Mr. Wang’s eldest brother’s son was about to follow his elders to see his eldest sister-in-law, but now he has disappeared in Xuanfu.

They haven't found her yet. After Master Wang came out of confinement, he entrusted his aunt to Taoist Master Hengxi and others.

But Taoist Priest Hengxi and his men were in a hurry and could not stay there, so Taoist Priest Qingxi and the rest of the Wang family came to Linghe County together."

"So, the person has arrived at the doorstep?" Shen Xiaoye thought. Her aunt is now advanced in pregnancy and her unstable condition makes it unsuitable for a visit.

However, when it is basically confirmed that Mr. Wang is my aunt's younger brother, it would be unreasonable not to go and see his aunt now.

According to the information my uncle got from Master Wang, this concubine was a good concubine. The only reason she was not made the principal wife was because my aunt's grandmother had always opposed it during her lifetime.

"Mr. Wang's eldest brother's son, that is, my aunt's nephew?

We know about this, and we can’t just remain indifferent.” She was sure that her aunt wouldn’t be able to stay at home peacefully after she knew about this.

But now I have to be careful not to let her get emotional.

Shen Xiaoye asked, "Fourth Uncle, have you gone to pay your respects?"

"No, it's not appropriate." Shen Changsui raised his eyes and saw his eldest brother and his son walking quickly towards him.

Just as he was about to say something, Master Wang's servant rushed over and knelt down and kowtowed: "Sir, please help the young master. He is not born to practice martial arts. It is too dangerous to chase him out of the pass now."

"You stand up first." Shen Changshou was not used to others kneeling before him. "Let's talk about it nicely."

When the servant saw that he admitted his identity, he immediately narrated the whole thing.

It turned out that the Wang family was not only here to look for their relatives, they were also ordered to send the next generation of the Wang family to the martial arts school or the Imperial College in the capital. There were also several children of northwestern military generals who came with them.

Little did they know that when they reached the front of the hall, they were suddenly attacked and several children were kidnapped by a group of people.

Shen Xiaoye got the point. "The other generals and military officers have received the news, right? Will they send someone else?"
