Chapter 36: The Drought

"Miss, don't worry, the woman is still in the backyard, he is very dirty, I asked her to make a basin of hot water, let her wash up, change into clean clothes and come to see you again, otherwise I am afraid of staining your eyes, please wait a while, okay?"

Although the business of this shop itself is not very good, but I have accepted it for so many years, and I am old enough to retire, but the business is getting worse and worse, and it has plummeted?

If he eats enough for the whole family and doesn't go hungry, it doesn't matter, but there are old and young people below, there are old sons and mothers who are sick in bed, and there are also little great-grandchildren who are waiting to be fed.

So he really can't just retreat in a very decayed way, but he has to push his powerful eldest son into this position of steward!

That's why the steward who is about to retire will work hard to find this mother-in-law who makes strange foods.

"Yes, yes, the steward is still thoughtful and thoughtful, and the work is also thorough, this matter is really hard for you, Yunlu, watch the tea, let the steward quench your thirst and moisten your mouth." ”

After Heng Zhi saw his thoughtful arrangement, she nodded with satisfaction, and then glanced at the little maid next to her.

"Thank you for your appreciation, the old slave, a despicable person, just did this duty, how dare you give me tea?"

"Steward, you are the old steward of our shop, so I respect you very much, you are welcome, this cup of tea should be yours is yours, this is a reward for you to do things very thoroughly." ”

Heng Zhi is also willing to give this steward a face, so she said this without leakage, which is very beautiful.

I am also looking forward to the mother-in-law brought from Jiangnan, what kind of food will she cook?

Is it a very rare snack?

It looks like it's a famous authentic snack in Jiangnan, right?

But what is the origin of this woman's life? Is there any crime in her body? Is it a slave with a contract, or is she a good citizen?

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, the old slave is like this, you're welcome, and boldly accepted your cup of tea, and I will definitely do my best for you in the future, please give me your orders!"

Heng Zhi said that this is not good, what to say, so she took the cup of tea very happily, blew it gently and drank it all.

After drinking this cup of tea, I felt as if I had drunk a panacea, and I came back to life all of a sudden.

This tea was specially taken from the carriage, six-spiced melon slices, a very rare and precious kind of tea!

Yunlu showed an envious look next to her, thinking that sure enough, the master attaches great importance to this dowry shop, and it is right that for a woman, this dowry is a life.

It seems that the master's mind is becoming more and more sober, and he no longer worries about those empty love things, but is preparing to live a life in a down-to-earth manner!

As long as the master is sober, no longer sad for the ruthless and unrighteous uncle, and lives this life well, they who are slaves will get a very stable life.

Thinking like this, a huge change occurred in the little girl's heart, and looking at Heng Zhi's expression, she became more and more respectful.

After Heng Zhi's afterglow swept over, she also seemed to have discovered the other party's thoughts, and she didn't take it seriously, she just thought it was good to go with the flow.

After a while, the curtain was lifted from the outside.

A strong young man in a gray coat came in with a mother-in-law.

"You stupid boy, why are you still stupid? Hurry up and say hello to our master!

Miss, don't blame, this is my second son, just 20 years old this year, since he was a child, he has been running darts with Master Wu next door, his skills are very flexible, but his brain is very stupid, this time he found this mother-in-law!"

Heng Zhi quickly saw through the intention of this steward, it seems that he wants this second son to take over his class!

That's why I deliberately let the second son show a face, so that she can brush her face in front of her master, remember him, and then finally give a favor, and then it will be very natural to take the position.

Although Heng Zhi understands it in her heart, she still wants to see how capable this second son is?

"It turned out to be your son, he seems to be very strong, and at first glance he is a person who practices martial arts, not suitable for this mother-in-law, how did ......they meet?

Heng Zhi deliberately wanted to follow the second son to say a few words, so after seeing this, the steward just wiped the sweat on his forehead with some worry, and didn't say more.

After the second son heard his father's words, his eyes moved slightly, and he quickly came to Heng Zhi and made a salute.

probably also thought that Heng Zhi was a woman and was already married, so he didn't dare to look at Heng Zhi face to face, but lowered his head and began to introduce the situation very respectfully.

"Back to the master's words, this mother-in-law was saved by me when I was in Jiangnan, there was no rain in his Zhuangzi for many years, and there was a great drought, so many people starved to death, and the 17 people in the family died of starvation on the way to escape the famine, and only one girl who married the capital far away, so she followed me to the capital ......"

Heng Zhi subconsciously frowned after hearing this, thinking that such a drought was not described in this novel!

But after thinking about it, a novel is a novel after all, and after he came to this world, it is impossible for this novel to follow the normal plot, so Heng Zhi has to be careful and look at it according to the normal real world!

I wonder if the drought in the south will affect the situation in the capital.

"I see, then has his eldest daughter found it? Why did he come here with you now? If he has a very good pastry skill, he can also get a very good old age with his eldest daughter, right?"

It seems that this mother-in-law has encountered a particularly unlucky thing, quite pitiful, everyone in the family is dead, and the only relatives have not been found in the capital, so they will be reduced to wanting to sell themselves, and then get a stable life!

After this mother-in-law heard about these tragic things in her family, she couldn't shed tears, but the sadness on her face was very real, with a trace of insensitive sadness, which made Heng Zhi feel very sad.

And after paying attention to the sympathy in Heng Zhi's eyes, Wang Dafu felt a lot better, if the new master in the future is a ruthless person, when he encounters some things in the future, he will also hide it carefully.

Fortunately, although this kind master is the wife of Gaomen, he is very kind and has a strong sense of sympathy.
