Chapter 650: Mixed Tastes
After Zhang Jianye learned that his wife and children and grandchildren had left the rudder and went to live in his house in Shuilan City, he picked up the tea on the table and sighed softly.
"Master?" Seeing that his master's mood didn't seem to be very high, the attendant hurriedly asked.
"It's fine. Zhang Jianye smiled, took a sip of tea and put down the tea bowl.
At the sect master's place, his wife and several children were too eager, how could the sect leader not see their plans?
Young couples are old companions, how can he have no feelings for his wife, but no matter how deep and thick the emotion, it will be exhausted, she is the wife of the Zhang family, but she never forgets whose daughter she is, this is actually not wrong, he can't ask his wife, after marrying him, he will completely abandon his mother's family, that is too cool!
The Yue family is not doing well, and his heart as a son-in-law is not good, but the wife should not exchange the interests of the Zhang family for the wealth of the Yue family, the Yue family is getting richer and richer, and the Zhang family's family is not rich, so it is getting thinner and thinner, and it is their children who are wronged.
And the Zhang family is not only their small family, but also the clansmen.
She always said that her father-in-law raised her and married her to him, and he couldn't live well at home, so he ignored her father.
But the Zhang family raised him, when he encountered difficulties, it was the clansmen who helped him, he had a chance, so he naturally wanted to help the clansmen, but she didn't allow it, she only saw herself in her eyes, saw her maiden family, but put him in injustice.
When he took over the management of the caravan and the storehouse, he sensed his wife's ambition, and she asked him to arrange her brothers, nephews, and nephews as a mother, and she asked for her mother's family to be arranged, but did not mention her own son and son-in-law.
He knew that the reason why she didn't mention it was because he knew that he would not forget to arrange his own children, but he just felt that his children were far less important than her mother's family in her eyes, and that feeling was like someone punching him in the stomach, so that the veil that had been covering his eyes was lifted.
Yes, when he married his wife, he was just an insignificant person, because the Great Elder covered the sky with one hand, and he had a good relationship with Li Shu since he was a child, so he became the object of the Great Elder's anger, and in that case, the father-in-law also married his daughter to him, he was very grateful, but this does not mean that the Xie family will eat him.
People get along with each other mutually, I pour out my heart and lungs for you, but you are only indifferent, such an unequal relationship, it is bound to wear away the original deep friendship.
Every time he returned home, he would always ask people to send a lot of gifts to the Yue family, but the return gifts of the Yue family were always thin and speechless, and his wife would make up for her mother's family at the beginning, saying that the family was not happy, and the return gifts would naturally be thinner.
But what about later?
Just as he was sighing and recalling the past, the attendant whispered in his ear, "Master, the sect leader is here." ”
Zhang Jianye, who came back to his senses, hurriedly asked people to invite Li Qianqian in.
After Li Qianqian came in, he first greeted him, and then held the junior ceremony, "It's not good to greet you outside, please forgive me, don't sue my master!"
Zhang Jianye avoided her salute, and when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but smile and pointed at her, but he didn't say anything.
Yu Gong, he is her subordinate, naturally he salutes her, Li Qianqian said this as soon as he came, but he didn't want to be too serious, and at the same time, he was also reminding him that he was on business in the flower hall.
After the main and secondary seats were divided, the maid in the guest house was sent away after serving tea.
Li Qianqian didn't talk much, she didn't have so much time, so she went straight to the point, "The teahouses, restaurants, Jinyifang, Tianbaofang, and grocery stores in Shuilan City, the tea used for hospitality are all provided by the store?"
Zhang Jianye heard her talk about tea as soon as she opened her mouth, thinking that there was something wrong with the tea he provided, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, "Yes, but what's the problem?"
Li Qianqian saw that his expression was tense, and hurriedly reassured, "No problem, no problem, it was the shopkeeper of the teahouse who reacted to me, and some guests thought that the tea we used was very good, so they asked him what kind of tea he used, and he didn't know how to respond, so he could only go over." ”
Zhang Jianye smiled, "So that's the case." He thought there was something wrong with the tea.
Li Qian smiled lightly, "The tea is grown by the sect members themselves? How can they grow tea? The shopkeeper of the teahouse said that the tea we use is better than some tea sold outside!"
"The congregations planted their own crops, and I taught them. Zhang Jianye saw that Li Qianqian's eyes lit up, full of admiration and admiration, and couldn't help laughing, "In the past few years, there have been more idle times, so I began to learn how to grow flowers and grasses, but the sect leader also knows that it is idle, but it is still not comparable with those rich and noble families, and I can't grow precious flowers and plants, so I will learn to grow vegetables, tea, and fruits from others." ”
Li Qianqian smiled and nodded, and did not ask, the Zhang family and his wife were not in harmony, Zhang Jianye often had to travel because he took care of the warehouse and caravans, and he was impatient to face the unchanged requirements of his wife and sons, so he simply lived near the main rudder.
The helmsman is in the mountains, and he has to grow vegetables, tea and fruits, and there are many people who can ask for advice, and it is convenient to find a place or someone to take care of it for him.
Zhang Jianye said that those old people drank the tea he planted, and they all said that it was good, so he asked people to try it in the teahouse of Ruiyao Jiaoliancheng first, and after being loved by the guests, he taught the people in the mountainous area to grow tea.
"What about making tea? You send people to buy their tea leaves, and then send people to make tea?"
"Yes. Zhang Jianye is very satisfied with the tea they make.
Li Qianqian looked at him with a smug face, so he smiled and suggested to him, "Why don't you set up a tea shop?" Then I will sign a monopoly contract with you in the name of the Ruiyao Sect, and as long as your tea shop provides high-quality tea and sells these things, your own sect will send someone to take care of it." ”
"Okay. Zhang Jianye nodded, he likes to teach people to grow tea and make tea, as for how to sell it, he doesn't want to hurt his brain at all.
"Okay, as for the details, I asked Liu Yi to talk to you, I was supposed to let Liu Er come, but he was still in Beijing and couldn't leave. ”
"Your master is still in Dongqi?"
"Well, the mess on the side of Dongqi hasn't been sorted out yet! The Emperor of Dongqi originally wanted the Nine Emperors to succeed to the throne, but later the Thirteen Princes got it back, he probably felt that he owed this son, and he was a little biased towards him, and the performance of the Thirteen Princes was indeed much stronger than that of the Nine Emperors. ”
After Li Qianqian told him about Dongqi, Zhang Jianye couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." thought that the emperor was high and powerful, and there was nothing to worry about if he was rich and powerful, but he didn't expect that just a candidate for the crown prince could annoy people to death. ”
"Yes!" Li Qianqian agreed, his eyes flashing slightly, thinking of Zhang Jianye's sons.
As far as she knew, Zhang Jianye's sons had worked in caravans and warehouses, but then for some reason, their brothers left together, and the people in the caravan and the warehouse were busy during that time, because they left without giving an explanation, leaving without warning, leaving a mess for others to clean up.
At that time, not only the Zhang brothers left, but also Mrs. Zhang's brothers and nephews, as well as several of her nephews.
At that time, they were in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the news transmission was not timely enough, and they were busy with something, so Liu Er didn't tell her in detail, and only made a rough explanation.
In Li Qianqian's view, it's just that some people leave their jobs en masse, and their supervisors are still their relatives, so it should be a dispute between relatives, and eighty percent of those who leave their jobs want to take Qiao, and the supervisors who are threatened by their relatives are not threatened, that's all.
I didn't see any serious consequences caused by this in the follow-up, and Zhang Jianye handled it properly, and Liu Er didn't take it to heart, he didn't take it to heart, so naturally he wouldn't tell Li Qianqian, but he should still tell Li Shu, after all, the person in charge is the fourth elder, and those who leave are all relatives and relatives of the four elders.
Li Shu and Zhang Jianye exchanged several letters, and the letters were all handled by Liu Er, and Li Qianqian also knew, but he didn't know what the two old men said, but he only knew that when Li Shu received Zhang Jianye's letter, he was in a bad mood.
Probably because I know that my old friend is disturbed by his family, so I am worried about him!
"By the way, when I learned to grow things, it was your master's suggestion, saying that I just couldn't be idle, and I would think about it when I was free, and I asked Liu Er to send me a lot of books. ”
Li Qianqian just wanted to hehe, the books that Liu Er sent over must be the ones that were supposed to be sent back to the helm.
However, knowing the knowledge in those books, Zhang Jianye made full use of it, which increased the skills of the sect members to make a living, and it was not in vain that they bothered to take it back from the hands of the Dharma Protector.
*
Zhang Jianye's house in Shuilan City, when the porter received the notice from the rudder, he was still a little blind, and the rudder saw that he didn't react for a long time, so he hurriedly pushed him.
"Lao Liu, hurry up, ask your mother-in-law to open the door, there are a lot of people in their family. The person who came calculated in his heart felt that the house in this house was probably not enough for that family to live in.
Because the owner hasn't been back for a long time, many rooms are locked, the house is not cleaned, and even the yard is deserted.
"Hey, where's your mother-in-law?" the visitor asked, looking at the house as it was really unpresentable.
"Ahh ”
When the person heard this, his feet slipped, and he almost didn't stand firm, "Go and go, quickly call people back, and I'll go back to the rudder to transfer some people to help."
Lao Liu hurriedly thanked him, and the person who came ran back, while Lao Liu went out to call a child who was playing on the side of the road to his wife's house to call people back.
Lao Liu didn't dare to leave the door without permission, and anxiously hoped that his wife would come back quickly, but unfortunately the carriage was faster than people's legs after all, Mrs. Zhang and their carriage arrived, and Lao Liu's wife was still nowhere to be seen.
Mrs. Zhang was hit hard by Li Qianqian's words, she has always regarded everything that her husband is in charge of as her own private property, so when her husband did not agree to her request, she let her sons and brothers, nephews and nephews all leave, and waited for her husband to be forced to stand it and bow to herself, but unfortunately, since then, her sons have never returned to work in caravans and warehouses.
The sons are okay, the family already has private property, they don't go to caravans and warehouses to do things, just take care of their own property, but her brothers, although they have private property, there are not many, a few brothers have a point, and everyone has only one shop.
It was really because the money came too easily, and when they spent it, they were lavish, and without restraint, they could get a shop for each person, which she forced them to buy in the early years, and strictly ordered them not to sell it, otherwise, they would lose the errand of the store, and they would have to drink the northwest wind.
The nephews and nephews are not as loose as their fathers, the nephews are fine, and there is a family to rely on, but the nephews are miserable, the private property of the Xie family is only enough for their father and uncles to share a shop, and their parents are here, they can no longer divide the family property from their father, and they can only rely on the shop assigned by their father to maintain the livelihood of a large family.
The nephews were originally obedient to her aunt, so they all had a dislike for her, and no longer respected her, as for the nephews, since they couldn't get any benefits from her, they naturally went home separately and no longer circled around the Zhang family.
Mrs. Zhang fell from the high platform of the stars and the moon, and there were no longer people around her who were flattering her, only her sons who were busy with housework, and her daughters-in-law were not as respectful as before, and her daughters did not come back often, and her in-laws did not allow it.
Mrs. Zhang can't stand it!
Now that I finally seized the opportunity to talk to Li Qianqian, I thought that girl was still young and coaxing, but I didn't expect that people didn't treat their family as their own at all.
The daughters-in-law of the Zhang family were actually quite relieved when they saw that their mother-in-law looked lost and depressed, and their husbands were working well in the caravan and the warehouse, but because their mother-in-law was greedy, they asked for this and that, and if they didn't succeed, they asked their husbands and brothers to leave, and they didn't even explain a word.
If they were the bosses, if they met such a person, they didn't take their errands seriously, they would never have made it so easy for them, and they would definitely have to ask them to compensate for their losses.
The reason why the caravan and the warehouse did not come to the door to ask for compensation must have been paid a great price by the father-in-law, and if he didn't say it, could the mother-in-law pretend not to know?
Over the years, when the husband and his brothers got together outside, they would always regret it, and when they got home, they kept silent, and they didn't dare to say, why, aren't they afraid to let their mother-in-law know and make her unhappy?
Sometimes, several of them always have to suspect that their brother was probably not born to her mother-in-law, right? Otherwise, why did she always think of her mother's brothers and nephews first, and even her nephews, when she encountered something, she just didn't put her own son first.
Before going out, the mother-in-law did not forget to inform her mother-in-law and let them wait for her good news, and after she told the Li sect leader, she would definitely be able to let them return to the caravan and the warehouse to do things.
Ha!
"Why are you standing stupidly here, hurry up and help your mother!" Zhang Sanye saw his daughter-in-law standing still, and hurriedly asked her to come over.
"No one takes care of this house at first glance, I don't know how it is inside, I don't care about it, I'm afraid I won't be able to live today! You don't know how to tidy up the house, let's do it!" Grandma Zhang stopped Grandma Zhang San and said lightly to the little uncle.
Zhang Sanye opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to reply, so he had to watch the women hula and scatter, some went to fetch water to wipe the doors and windows of tables, chairs, doors and windows, some went to the kitchen to check if there were ingredients and firewood, and the servants and maids who came with them were looking for something to do, but no one wanted to lean on Mrs. Zhang.
There's no way, Mrs. Zhang is too difficult to wait, and when her temper comes up, she will start beating people, and they would rather do things than wait for her.
The Zhang family will not wait for people!
Even if it's a mother, there are usually maids waiting at home, they just need to move their mouths to care, and ask them to wait by themselves, how can they do it.
had to move their eyes to the sisters, and the daughters of the Zhang family knew that they couldn't avoid it when they saw this, so they had to step forward to take over their mothers from their brothers.
The masters of the Zhang family were relieved and hurriedly slipped away.
When he went out, he saw someone coming from the rudder, and he brought a few rough envoys over. The Zhang family felt relieved, thinking that it was sent by Zhang Jianye, and when they knew that it was the helmsman who sent someone for his father's sake, their hearts were mixed for a while, and they didn't know what it was like.
