Chapter 120: Li Mansion Jiaoke
Three days later, all the men knew why the instructor had said the night before by the campfire, "Welcome to the last days." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It's not a welcome to the end times at all, it's hell altogether.
Every day you go out early and return late for training, and you can't even sleep well at night! Because you don't know when Instructor Rong will pull everyone out for a long run.
That's right, it's not a march, it's a long-distance run! I've never seen such a fast march, and in one night, with an empty stomach, you have to run dozens of miles.
In the first two days, almost none of the dozens of men slept well.
Why don't you resist? Not to mention that when he came, all his weapons were taken away by the county magistrate, and even if they were confiscated, no one dared to say that he could beat Instructor Rong.
Because, during the day on the first day, Instructor Rong beat them up in groups. That's right, it's a group fight. Before he used that long knife, a crowd beat 50 men, and even the most obedient Sun Da did not let go! Who had the courage to resist?
After Rong Bai went up the mountain, he went home less and less, and basically did not come back every night. Hengqing listened to Rong Bai's explanation, and his performance was a little better. But Tang A-Niang hadn't heard of this, and she hadn't seen Rong Bai come back to sleep at night for two days, and she was already anxious like an ant on a hot pit.
Whoever goes out to inquire has ever heard of a married woman who goes with a group of men every night and does not come back?
Especially, a few days after Rong Bai left, a guest came to the house.
It was noon one day, and a chic boat was parked on the dock, where there were usually no boats docking. A woman dressed in white silk came out of the boat with a maid who was also dressed modestly. The woman wears a white pearl hairpin on her head, and when you look closely, you can see the woman's bulging belly.
Tang A-Niang is usually busy with the children's meals and the men on the mountain. When I'm not working, I like to walk around the river. Maybe sometime, you'll be able to find something good. So she was the first to discover this guest.
"Mrs. over there, may I ask, does my second son live here?"
It can't be compared with the prosperity of Linjiang County, there is only this one bamboo house within a radius of more than ten miles on this side of the river. Even if the training camp and school are added now, the only people who can be called Mrs. are Rong Bai and Tang Aniang themselves. Rong Bai is now soaking in the mountains all day long, so as soon as Tang A-Niang heard this voice, she raised her head and looked at the two people who had just gotten off the boat.
"Who is your second son?" This year, who doesn't have three or four children. Besides, a person who doesn't know anyone comes up and asks his second son, who knows?
However, Tang A-Niang was a little stunned, after all, her son-in-law, Li Jiake was the second son of the Li family, and the descendant of the Li family, Tang A-Niang had seen it.
"Lotus Heart. The lady in white standing in front of the maid stretched out her hand, blocked the girl, and then gently moved the lotus step to Tang Aniang: "I am the young lady of the Li family in Linjiang County." I'm looking for my second son, Li Jia's. ā
As soon as Tang A-Niang heard the name of the Li family, she knew that this person was indeed someone known to her son-in-law. Moreover, this young lady and Mrs. Bu are really beautiful. The skin is smooth like a shelled egg, and there is a pearl hairpin on the hair, no matter how you look at it, it is from a rich family. Comparing Rong Bai again, although he didn't raise a dumb girl beautifully, but now, he doesn't look like a woman at all.
"This lady knows my second uncle. Tang A-Niang was distracted, and the woman was not angry, but asked softly.
Know, of course know. Now my son-in-law is teaching the children at school.
Tang A-Niang was busy taking this lady to her home. Originally, Tang A-Niang wanted to bring this woman directly to the school, but Rong Bai had also said before that no outsiders were allowed to visit the school when classes were in session. Even Tang A-Niang herself didn't dare to go in when she was in school.
The living room of the bamboo house is still the same as before, with only a table of eight immortals in the center and benches on all sides. It's not like the rich and noble people in the town, there are coffee tables or something.
The young lady glanced at the arrangement of the drawing-room, frowned slightly, and then sat down on the stool under the service of the maid. Tang A-Niang poured a cup of sugar tea for the two of them.
Rong Bai doesn't drink tea, Hengqing drinks a little, but the family doesn't know when it started, there is no tea. And sugar tea is the best thing that Tang A-Niang can take out to entertain people. The woman looked at the coarse porcelain tea bowl in front of her, and had no idea of drinking tea at all, just looked outside, hoping that Hengqing would return early.
When the smell of food wafted away, there was a burst of children's laughter. The young lady followed the prestige, and saw seven or eight children, running through the courtyard gate and towards Hengqing's kitchen.
"Lianxin, go and see what these children do. Madame frowned and ordered her maiden.
The maidservant named Lotus Heart nodded, and walked through the door to the kitchen.
At the time of the meal, Tang A-Niang had to prepare food for more than 60 people by herself. The camp on the mountain is not far from here, and when the children are settled, I am afraid that the men in the mountains will starve to death. Therefore, Tang A-Niang planted a few children with a little more strength to help them carry the school food.
When Lianxin entered the kitchen, she saw this scene.
The kitchen is larger than the average kitchen, with three or four pots in it, and a steamer on top of the pot. The cooking time is too long, and it is a waste of manpower and material resources, so Rong Bai spent a little effort and made some steamers, and now whether it is a child or a man on the mountain, they eat steamed rice.
However, instead of a steamer, Hatsushin saw rice in a bucket.
That's right, four small wooden barrels, which were sent to the school for the children to eat. The six large wooden barrels were eaten by the men in the mountains. In the jar is today's dish, and the way of cooking is also taught by Rong Bai to Tang Aniang.
"How many people are in our family?"
The food in this kitchen is enough for the entire Li Mansion to eat.
"There are only five people in the family. "Tang A-Niang has to answer all questions.
"Why do you eat so much?" Lianxin didn't believe that five people could eat so much, and in the Li Mansion, so much grain could feed more than 100 people! Moreover, these children who came to carry food belonged to them, and they were so embarrassedly dressed.
Li Mansion is a relatively wealthy family in Linjiang County, even if the maid can't afford to wear silk and satin, but cotton clothes can afford to wear it. But if you look at these children, they are all dressed in linen clothes, and they are not even as good as half of the women in the Zhuangzi. Seeing those children walking towards her, Lianxin couldn't help but take a few steps back, as if she was dirty when she was touched by these people.
