Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

"You two are having fun!"

When Zuo Zhizhi heard the voice, she quickly turned around and found that it was Zuo Hexin and Deng Zijin.

Only then did she remember that she had forgotten to send someone to inform her parents about this matter.

In other words, if it weren't for my sister, my brother-in-law would have sent someone to notify them at some point, and now it would be my parents who are catching human traffickers on the streets!

Zuo Qingyu obviously realized this as well and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Dad and Mom, you're here!"

Zuo Zhizhi shrank herself aside and pretended that she didn't exist. After all, she was just an 8-year-old child. How could she be so harsh on herself!

Zuo Hexin and Deng Zijin knew that this was not the place to educate the children, so they bowed to Duan Huairen, and then the family sat together to chat.

Duan Huairen obviously likes the life atmosphere of the Zuo family. After all, there are not many families as harmonious as this one.

However, Duan Huairen's health was not very good, so he sat for a while and then chose to go back to rest.

Only then did Zuo Hexin have the opportunity to ask about this matter.

The two of them told everything they knew, and Zuo Hexin nodded, "It's okay, it's nothing serious!"

Later, Zuo Zhizhi and her husband learned what had happened from their parents.

They just told the fifth prince their guess and didn't know what happened next.

Unexpectedly, when they found out, it was actually not too late. The heroine of the peasant girl novel had already discovered the traces of the human traffickers and was trying to find a way to report it to others.

It’s a pity that they came here to take part in the scientific examination, so they didn’t have any noble acquaintances here, and this matter could not be advanced.

When the fifth prince sent people to inquire, these officials realized the seriousness of the matter, so they hurried to follow the clues provided by the heroine and bring these human traffickers to justice.

The Fifth Prince's men split into two groups. One group went to look for officials who could manage the matter, while the other group sent people to notify the generals guarding the city gates. As a result, everyone stepped up their efforts to check on people leaving the city gates, and this prevented these people from disappearing.

Among the missing people this time, in addition to the children of ordinary families originally discovered by Nong Nuwen, there were also children of several dignitaries, and the most important one among them was the grandson of Ningyuan Hou.

When Zuo's parents heard the news about human traffickers, they immediately went to look for the siblings as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the two of them left without saying goodbye, so if they hadn't run into the Fifth Prince's guards, they would still be wandering around outside.

But this is actually a good thing. Not only does it save people and accumulate virtue, but most importantly, it also makes Ningyuan Hou owe his family a favor.

Although it was just a small effort, it saved a family.

As for the heroine of that peasant girl article, she undoubtedly received great praise.

After all, if it weren't for her, all the human traffickers would not have been arrested so quickly.

However, their family is still ordinary civilians, so Ning Yuanhou provided a small house in a remote place, which is enough for their family to live in.

Although the heroine tried to refuse, she could not accept the enthusiasm of the Yongning Marquis family, so she had to accept it.

However, this also solved their urgent need. After all, they came here to take the imperial examination and had taken away most of their family's money for travel expenses. Unfortunately, the distance was far and the prices in the capital were high, so they were a little stretched.

Now the gifts sent by these people just hit their hearts. With a quiet and independent house, her husband can study well.

With the money sent by others, the family did not have to worry about gold and silver.

It definitely touched people's hearts.

Zuo Zhizhi was finally satisfied. After all, the protagonist of this peasant girl story did not do anything wrong. If it was because of her that she lost the first opportunity, then it would be her fault.

Now that everything is back on track, Zuo Zhizhi can finally put her mind at ease.

The plot was not changed, and several missing children were rescued. Although there will be fewer twists and turns in the follow-up, it is also beneficial to the protagonist.

After this happened, the family didn't stay outside for too long. After a simple meal, they went back home.

Because it was getting late, my sister and brother-in-law did not go to the villa outside the city, but stayed in the prince's mansion in the city.

Although I don't come here often, it's okay to stay once or twice occasionally.

Zuo Zhizhi and her family returned home.

Zuo Qinghe and Zhang Songlan only then realized that such a big thing had happened. They had been wandering outside and hadn't noticed what happened today at all. Fortunately, everyone was happy and there was no problem.

However, before going to bed, Deng Zijin asked someone to prepare a bowl of calming soup and told them to drink it.

Zuo Zhizhi expressed strong resistance, but had no choice but to give up.

After all, although the tranquilizing soup sounds good, Zuo Zhizhi, who has been baptized by modern knowledge, knows that it is not a good thing.

As the name suggests, Anshen Soup can calm a person's mind after drinking it, but the instruments in ancient times were not complete, so people did not know whether these things had any harm.

The most common ingredient in ancient tranquilizing soups was mercury, because people found that drinking mercury would help them sleep soundly.

But these things can be fatal!

Zuo Zhizhi was disgusted by this and decided to tell others about the negative effects of mercury from today. At the very least, she wanted to start with her own family and break the bad habit of drinking the tranquilizing soup.

In the next few days, the adults went about their normal work while I was left at home doing nothing.

After getting up every day, apart from the most basic activities, I can only occasionally go to my father's study to read a book.

Although Zuo Zhizhi could read, she had no interest in writing with a brush. She also didn't want to practice knitting or needlework, so she could only stay at home and rot.

Zhang Songlan noticed that Zuo Zhizhi was bored, so she mentioned her own school during the chat.

"Grandpa had nothing to do at home, so he allowed the children of his relatives and friends to study at home. Although he didn't ask for any success or fame, he just wanted to give them a place to go."

Zuo Zhizhi knew that this was her sister-in-law's humble words. After all, her sister-in-law was the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Zhang, and as a Grand Tutor, she was naturally quite capable.

What's more, this school is no longer just a private school, but includes children from a considerable number of high-ranking officials and noble families in the entire capital.

In other words, the people you make friends with here are either rich or noble.

Although Zuo Zhizhi wanted to go over, it was obvious that her home was not wide enough.

Deng Zijin didn't care. "Really? My dear children, I've been worried sick about these two children. If they can really succeed through this, it will be a blessing for them!"

Zhang Songlan nodded with a smile. If it wasn't absolutely safe, she wouldn't have spoken.
