The two returned to the small courtyard of the second entrance, and the dumb servant was looking forward to it. Seeing the two of them coming back, the www.biquge.info was so happy that they danced with their hands, opened their mouths and made a "ho-ho" sound, the dumb servant couldn't understand that they were in a bad mood, except for the necessary etiquette taught by Zhu Lu during this time, there was no etiquette, and they circled in front of them vigorously, and waited until Song Mier and Zhu Lu stood still, and pointed to the kitchen in the southwest corner, Song Mier and Zhu Lu walked to take a look: the dumb servant didn't know when, he secretly made a few dishes, which were placed on the stove in the kitchen, and the pot was still "gurgling" Something is cooking. Seeing them, the dumb servant immediately pointed at himself and the kitchen dishes at one moment, with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Master, what do you mean by this dumb servant, do you want us to taste his cooking?" Zhu Lu smiled and asked the dumb servant: "Uncle, when will you cook, we don't know." β
The dumb servant nodded and shook his head, his expression very eager, and the pleading in his eyes even worse.
"Uncle, do you think we're not coming back? Afraid γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» we will abandon you? Song Mier asked.
The dumb servant's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help nodding, "Ahhhhh
Song Mier's heart suddenly felt sour: "Uncle, don't worry, we won't leave you, you see, our luggage is still in the courtyard, how can we leave?" Uncle, don't worry, we'll take you with us wherever we go. β
The dumb servant's eyes flashed with joy, and he stared at Song Mier and Zhu Lu for a long time, only to find that Zhu Lu was dirty and had vegetable leaves on his clothes. He showed a anxious look again, pointed to Zhu Lu's clothes and pointed to the bucket at the kitchen door, and motioned for Zhu Lu to wash with water.
The dumb servant was very silent when he bought it, sometimes like a wooden man, not listening, not looking, not listening, except for driving and eating, immersed in his own world all day long. And now there are more emotions, afraid of being abandoned again, and sometimes he also reveals the mood of a father, and when he sees Zhu Lu soiling his clothes, he is also worried and anxious.
Zhu Lu wiped the corners of his clothes, took out a wooden plate, and brought all the dishes to the hall.
The dumb servant hid in a corner of the hall, and was very happy to see Song Mier and Zhu Luken eating the dishes he made, and squatted in the corner alone and took a big mouthful of brown rice.
"Zhu Lu, you can ask the dumb servant to come to the table to eat."
Song Mier said softly.
Zhu Lu was standing for Song Mier, with an incredible look in his eyes: "Master, this is not in accordance with the rulesγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Why don't you pay attention to this now, you can also sit down and eat."
How dare Zhu Lu agree? She and Song Mier are also masters and servants, in fact, in the past in the Song Mansion in the palace, it is not that when they sit down to eat with them, even in front of Yuan Wanyou Qin Shuya, as long as the master speaks, she dares to sit. But at that time, she had confidence, it was the confidence brought to her by her master Song Mier, and now she refused to sit down, insisting on standing and serving Song Mier, in order to maintain Song Mier's dignity in her heart. At that time, there were a lot of people around Song Mier who defended her, and she was not inferior to this station, but now it is different, but she can no longer rely on her master's likes to act recklessly.
Zhu Lu couldn't help but think of Qinghe, if she was here, I am afraid that she would have cried to serve her master by now. She is good at everything, but she is not a person who is with Yulan with her.
Zhu Lu was in a trance for a moment, Song Mier had already deliberately made a displeased look, and she asked: "Zhu Lu, in the past, was I also an unreasonable and bullying person?" β
Zhu Lu was shocked: "Master, why do you say that?" β
Song Mier sighed slightly: "You see, we are embarrassed in Baixiu Building today, but because our current identity is not as good as others, the superior can sometimes decide the life and death of others with a fluttering word." I'm thinking, sometimes, there are people who deliberately make things difficult, but sometimes, maybe it's not deliberately embarrassing, but they don't understand the bitterness of the people below, and they measure the problem from their own perspective and seek a solution, thinking that they are doing good for others, but they don't know that they have given others humiliation. Or use your own life experience to judge the rights and wrongs of others, as we do at the wonton stall today. We are embarrassed by others but we don't know it, today, we have been wronged in Baixiu Lou and in the wonton shop, precisely because our identity is not as good as others, and others look at us with eyes. And in the past, have we ever done things that humiliated others by asserting our own identities? β
"I remember, just like when we were on our southern tour, didn't the female dependents of those officials welcome us, and our self-assessed status is high, in their eyes, why not give them humiliation?"
Zhu Lu was stunned when he heard this: "But, master, this, how can this be the same?" You are the mother of a country, and you are naturally high, if you get along with them as equals, wouldn't it be a mess? What's more, they can talk to the queen mother, even if they say a half, they are very happy, how can they still feel humiliated? That's what they are! β
Song Mier shook his head, "Look, you will also say that your identity is like this. Today we feel humiliated, just because we fell from a high place, standing on a high place, there is your so-called identity, provoked by the person who once looked down on us, this will feel that our dignity is insulted, but if we were born as a peasant girl, today the three ladies want to buy our Su embroidery, we don't think her tone is domineering? Since she is a kind lady. If she gives us too little time, we should plead, just as the dumb servant feels inferior to us, afraid of being abandoned by us, he will please and plead, how can we think that if we abandon him and betray him, we have insulted him? β
"For example, in the wonton shop, what we see is the beauty of the world, how can we understand the misery in the world? We are accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, accustomed to eating fresh vegetables and fruits, we are picky eaters, and we can naturally eat that rancid taste, if we are the peasant girls we are today, eating pork once a year is a luxury, where do we have the heart to distinguish whether the wonton is rancid? And the gentleman who taught naturally couldn't eat it, and of course he felt that we were going to take advantage of it, so how could it be regarded as insulting us? And those children, who stand in their shoes, feel that we have insulted their husband, and of course they want to teach us a lesson. β
"The superior looks at the person and will never understand the feelings of the inferior."
"People of different positions and identities can only live on their own level and will never understand the feelings of others."
Zhu Lu finally understood what Song Mier meant at this time, and she hurriedly defended: "Master, where can this be the same?" In the past, you have never bullied others, take me and Yulan as an example, we are servants and you are masters, but you have never really regarded us as slaves, how have you ever been like the three ladies, high up in the false benevolence and false righteousness, and how have you ever been like the teacher who is full of benevolence and morality, but when it is your turn, half of the students can't teach well! β
But the gentleman was right when he said that sometimes, perhaps inadvertently, I did something humiliating, but I didn't feel it from anyone else's point of view. Human nature is inherently evil, and it really needs to be educated. However, we often use our own identity and rights to deprive others of the opportunity to be educated, and in the end we blame others for being sinister. β
Song Mi'er smiled slightly: "For example, Liu Shuxing, as she said, everything she does is just for Shen Zhan, if I didn't hinder her on the way, how could she do everything?" And how many of those concubines wanted to harm others in the first place? It's just to protect herself and protect her interests from being infringed upon by others, if she doesn't harm others, others will harm her, so she raises a knife against her. Another example is Shen Yao, if I had been able to be more lenient when I stood in a high position, would things have been different later? And the education they have received since childhood, if King Liang's rebellion is true, and the wolf's ambition, looking at his deeds, he will not be a good person in the future, Shen Yao is exposed to it, can he become good? Sometimes it is not up to us to choose between good and evil. β
This is the first time that Song Mier has been out for so long and has taken the initiative to mention everyone in the palace, but Zhu Lu feels that what Song Mier thinks is no longer something that she can accept, so she said after a while: "Then, master, what do you mean, will you forgive Shen Yao and Liu Guifei?" β
Song Mier chuckled: "What do you say? β
Zhu Lu kept his mouth shut and didn't know what to say.
Song Mier sighed in his heart, but for some reason he suddenly thought that if Shen Zhan was here, they would definitely be able to have a deep conversation, and now γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» things are not people.
She finally smiled and pulled Zhu Lu to sit down, and called the dumb servant to the table to eat.
The dumb servant was flattered and waved his hand again and again, even thinking that he had done something wrong, that this was his last dinner. Song Mier and Zhu Lu laughed and talked badly, and after persuading for a while, the dumb servant sat down, only daring to sit on the corner of the stool and shaved the brown rice in his hand.
Song Mier gave Zhu Lu a look, and used his chopsticks to pick up a little wild vegetable that Zhu Lu dug up in the field in the morning, and the dumb servant ate with his hand, and then buried his head in eating, and while eating, tears dripped into the bowl.
Zhu Lu couldn't help but sigh, and put a lot of vegetables into the dumb servant's bowl.
On the second day, the dumb servant volunteered to go outside to collect some dry firewood, and maybe he would come back with some wild vegetables. Zhu Lu and Song Mier sat opposite each other, thinking about what other businesses they could participate in.
Restaurant?
Where do they have the money to buy a store now? What's more, I can't stay long in Zhangzhou, what will happen to the store then?
It's a good idea to write a little recipe and sell it to restaurants, but it's also a good idea. Under the influence of Yulan, Zhu Luhui's dishes are also a lot, and the important thing is that many of them are created by Yulan, and there are no ones on the market, so they may be able to sell at a good price.
You can also write letters on behalf of others, help people copy books, there are not many people who can read and write, if Song Mier and Zhu Lu will, they can be more respected if they want to live here for three months. But when it was to open the door to deal with people, the two women, and the other mute, described strangely, lest they be discovered by those who cared - it was too abrupt to have more literate people in vain. Although he is not afraid of force, he is also afraid of endless harassment by ruffians and hooligans.
What else can be done?
Zhu Lu and Song Mier thought about it, and suddenly heard a lot of movement outside.
