Chapter 68: Washing Feet
Zhang Zhaohua returned to the house after a busy day, Gao Chi leaned on the desk and looked at Song Shu, and said, "You came back late today, did you go to Yongping?"
Zhang Zhaohua responded casually, and then reacted: "What am I doing in Yongping?"
"It's her birthday today," Gao Chi closed a notebook and said, "You usually remember, how did you forget?"
Zhang Zhaohua said "ah", she thought about it, but she hadn't seen the two county lords for a long time, and she didn't know what was going on, obviously she had been in and out many times, and she didn't meet anyone, she didn't send anyone to ask questions when she got busy, and she suddenly felt a little guilty when she mentioned it, so she put on the gown she had just taken off and put it on again: "Go, go to the county lord of Yongping." ”
Zhang Zhaohua picked out a few exquisite jewelry in his private vault, put them in a box and went to Yongping's yard. After she entered, Yongping didn't come out to greet her, saying that she was washing her feet, and she was indeed washing her feet.
"Sister-in-law came over so late," Yongping sat on the couch and casually built his nails, the dancôme-like nails painted a layer of scarlet, "What's the matter, just send someone over." ”
"Usually don't you just send someone over," Zhang Zhaohua also sat on the couch and pushed the box in his hand: "I can't help but come here today, today is your birthday, twenty-two years old, a good year." ”
"It's hard for my sister-in-law to remember my birthday," Yongping continued to grind his nails with a small squirt, and didn't look at the gift brought by Zhang Zhaohua, and said: "I thought that my sister-in-law had been working hard for days, inspecting the coal yard, and training female soldiers, but I didn't remember it for a long time." ”
Kaiping's coal mine entered the stage of large-scale mining, and the coal processing plant was set up in Chongrenmen, Zhang Zhaohua was more concerned about this industry that he had supported, and sent some stewards around him who were not enough, and often took the opportunity to return to Zhang's house to inspect Chongrenmen. At the same time, Yongping said that the training of female soldiers is what Zhang Zhaohua has been doing, and for nearly a year, he has hardly stopped, and after participating in the military parade, Zhang Zhaohua has expanded the team again, and now there are 128 soldiers.
Yongping was telling the truth, Zhang Zhaohua thought that she had been snubbed, and she was awkward, so she couldn't help laughing: "Those things, when you are busy, you really forget the time, seven or eight days have passed, and I still remember that only one day passed." Our—"
Before she finished speaking, the palace people who added hot water to Yongping's foot basin seemed to burn Yongping, Yongping scolded sharply, and slapped the person on the ground, and the water in the basin also splashed to the ground.
"You want to burn me! Don't you have eyes," Yongping scolded, "Did I tell you to pour water?
The palace people shrank when they were scolded, and Yongping was still angry, and was still scolding: "What are you doing here with your waist twisted and your hips lifted! Do you want to learn from the kiln sister in the saucy outside, go to thousands of homes and thousands of households, and dare to make a gesture in front of me!
Zhang Zhaohua just wanted to persuade her to put out the fire, but suddenly saw that the palace man who washed Yongping's feet was familiar with his eyebrows, so he took a closer look at the light and found that he really knew her, and it was Xiaohong in her women's army.
Zhang Zhaohua suddenly remembered that seven or eight days ago, Yongping sent people around him over and asked Zhang Zhaohua for two women's soldiers to come over, and he didn't say what to do, only that he told them to do something. Zhang Zhaohua didn't want to save Yongping's face, so he sent Xiaohong and Lian Bi to go, and they forgot about it for the past few days, but they didn't expect Yongping to let them wash their feet.
Zhang Zhaohua became angry all of a sudden, she pointed at Xiaohong and said, "You asked me to ask her to come over, is it to serve you to wash your feet?"
Yongping's eyes seemed to have a flash of provocation and pride, and she said: "I said that I knew with my sister-in-law that the palace people who originally washed my feet here went home, and I had no one to send them, so I had to ask my sister-in-law to transfer two people over." I have always heard that my sister-in-law is good at training people, and the people who teach her are not smart and clever, but they also serve properly. It's just—"
She covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "It's just that the two people who sent me are very stupid! Every time the water temperature is adjusted, it is always uncomfortable, I think she can listen to it in my sister-in-law's hands, but she refuses to listen to it in my hands, it must be my ability is not as good as my sister-in-law's, I have no other way, just ask them to drink a bucket, and probably it will be." ”
Zhang Zhaohua had already noticed that something was wrong with Xiaohong, her face was originally slender and had a pointed chin, but now it suddenly swelled like a persimmon, white and empty, as if it was extremely edema. She was still thinking about whether she was sick just now, but now she realized that it was all from Yongping's struggle.
She was so angry that her ears roared, and she tried to maintain restraint, and said: "The women's army is all in the Beiping Guard, and they have merit, and my father has personally rewarded them, so they can no longer be regarded as ordinary palace people." I thought that you had something important to bring them over, but I didn't expect you to ask them to wash your feet, there are many people in your palace here, and there is a shortage of people to wash your feet? If you really don't need them, you can also go to the housekeeper to ask for someone, why do you have to support them?"
"Aren't they just two palace people," Yongping sighed twice: "No matter how great the merit is, I am not a domestic slave! I call my own family slave, and my sister-in-law still has to reprimand me for such an insignificant person?"
Zhang Zhaohua couldn't bear it anymore, stood up in a bluff, slapped it on the desk, and made a loud noise: "Yongping, you are too reckless! When is it now, when is the time when the army and the people are bent on fighting the difficulties together, and you are not afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers by doing this? As I said, they are meritorious people!"
Yongping saw that Zhang Zhaohua was angry, and slapped down, the table seemed to be a little cracked, and she was a little scared in her heart, but she still didn't forgive: "What merit is to be able to serve the master well, it is merit! Sister-in-law seems to not know the identity of her own female streamer, but she wants to shoot a man for a long time, but I don't know what is said behind someone's back! I am also kind enough to persuade you here, this women's army or something that is ridiculed by others, just withdraw it quickly! No matter how difficult it is, it will not be the turn of a woman to be a nobleman in front of people!"
Zhang Zhaohua was so angry that her head was buzzing, she just wanted to rush over and tear Yongping's mouth, but the remaining reason stopped her, and only said: "You yourself also participated in the defense of Beiping, but you can say such things and deny your value." In this world, it is not a man who criticizes women, it is a woman like you, I tell you, it is simply a chicken and a duck, and it is in vain!"
As she spoke, she took Xiaohong out of the house, but Yongping chased after her and pulled her, Zhang Zhaohua saw that Lian Bi was also coming over with a bucket of footwashing water, so he raised his hand to take it, and poured it on Yongping's face, drenching the person into a soup chicken, and then walked away.
When she returned to the Shizi Institute, Gao Chi saw that her expression was terrible, so he said, "What's the matter? Who messed with you?"
Zhang Zhaohua was so angry that he could hardly speak, but Hanshuang, who went with her, said quickly, Gao Chi who listened to the story was really uncomfortable, and actually fell to the ground laughing on the bed, Zhang Zhaohua was so angry that he had nowhere to spill, and when he saw this, he immediately pounced, pinched a few handfuls of loose meat on his body, and only pinched people to grin and beg for mercy.
"Did you offend her somewhere," Gao Chi said after laughing: "She deliberately made such a fuss with you! But it's her fault, Xiaohong Lianbi, she can't be regarded as an ordinary palace person, Yongping is a little reckless." ”
Zhang Zhaohua said: "She asked people to drink her foot-washing water! Such a vicious method, I really suspect that she deliberately targeted me! Could it be that the palace people serving around her are so difficult? Let me tell you, you will call Li Rang over tomorrow and ask him to lead Yongping back to his house! Don't let her hang in front of me anymore! If you don't go back to your home, you stay at your mother's house every day, what kind of system will it become!"
"You poured water on her feet," Gao Chi haha, "She's going to be angry all night! aren't you afraid that she will come to you tomorrow or sue your mother?"
"I'm still afraid that she won't come!" Zhang Zhaohua said: "She is reasonable, she is not weak-minded, she will come, she will sue! I have a hundred ways to clean her up, but I haven't used it yet!"
However, on the second day, Yongping was gloomy, and he didn't need Li Rang to pick him up, so he went back to the county lord's mansion by himself.
