The waiter crackled and cried, Zhang Xin and Du Li both frowned, Du Li sent the person down, and said to Zhang Xin: "Your stepmother is getting more and more impatient. ”

Zhang Xin fell on the Luohan bed, his hands pillowed behind his head, his eyes looked at the roof deeply, and said in a low voice: "The person who went out to investigate has not come back yet, but I dare to vouch with my head that the last assassination and the last poisoning were all done by her, because her son will be sixteen in three months." ”

The boy is sixteen years old and an adult, which means that he can inherit the family business and title, and now Zhang Xin, the sick man, occupies a position, why doesn't it make the Duchess of the country anxious and uncomfortable?

Zhang Xin and the Du family saw this matter very clearly, but the British duke, who only knew the wind and snow, had a black eye and didn't know anything, and the staff said that Zhang Xin's repeated attacks were at the hands of political enemies, and he believed it, this is really a sad story.

The waiter went and returned, carrying a big food box in his hand, followed by Zhang Wu, since Zhang Xin had food poisoning in the house, his meals were specially taken care of by Zhang Wu's eldest daughter-in-law, and the people who could receive it were in addition to Zhang Wu is the waiter, and his recent recipe is very simple, except for porridge and steamed buns is small dried fish, today I added the same, the bag of dried vegetables that Xiao Tuniu gave to Zhang Wu was requisitioned.

There are two sets of utensils in the food box, Du Li doesn't mind "sharing weal and sorrow" with his cousin every day, he took the lead in tasting bacon stewed dried vegetables, this is the practice recommended by Xiao Tuniu, as soon as the dish enters him, he was stunned, "It's weird!" I've never eaten such delicious dried vegetables! Waiter, bring the wine quickly, I'm sorry for such a good dish if I don't drink two sips. ”

The waiter puffed out his cheeks, "No, Li Shao, the prince has not recovered from his illness, and the imperial doctor said that you must not drink." ”

"You kid is not well-behaved at all, your family doesn't drink, you can drink less, go quickly." Du Li urged again and again, the waiter looked at the master, Zhang Xin nodded at him, and he went to the small warehouse next door to find a pot of soju.

Zhang Xin is very simple here, he doesn't even have a wine glass, Du Li took a teacup to fill the number, and muttered that Du Zhong is smarter and more obedient than the waiter, and the waiter rolled his eyes when he heard it.

Du Zhong is Du Li's personal servant, because he ran away from home under the cover of his master, and is now being punished by the Du family, this is not a disguised punishment of Du Li, no one around him, Du Li has to do many things by himself, and the secretary only cares about his son, regardless of Li Shao's idle affairs.

This person just didn't talk casually, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Wu brought a handsome young man to ask to see him, but it was not Du Zhong.

"Why are you here?" Du Li felt bad, "Didn't Madam punish you for chopping wood and carrying water in the back kitchen?" ”

"Young master, something is wrong, last night there was a sudden fire in the winery, not only burned down the entire winery, but also affected several nearby houses, and now they are all clamoring at our door to compensate, the most important thing is that the wine cellar was destroyed, and the batch of wine that went up could not be handed over on time, the lord was so anxious that he fainted, and Mrs. asked you to go back quickly."

Du Zhong was really clever, and he made things clear in a few words, Du Li threw down his chopsticks and ran out, ran to the door but turned around and said: "Zhang Wu, that little girl has a good job, you go to her house to buy some back, remember to share half of my house and send it to my house." ”

Zhang Wu nodded subconsciously, and he only reacted after Du Li's master and servant left, Xiao Tuniu was talking about the little lady of the Mo family, hey, he didn't feel that people were dirty, obviously he said with an aura.

Zhang Xin picked up the bowl again and tasted a cucumber strip, "It's really good, it has a special fragrance like dried fish, and it feels very comfortable to eat, Zhang Wu, you can take the time to run it yourself." ”

Do you want the big housekeeper to go to buy some dried vegetables? This is a bit unusual, Zhang Wu looked at the prince quietly, and sure enough, he gave another task.

On the way back to Jinshui Town from the capital, Shubai and Li Niang saw many farmers carrying water under the scorching sun to water the land, Zhang San'er felt that they were more interested in this matter, and was willing to talk more with them, saying that the farms near Jinshui Town have been making every effort to rescue crops to prevent the harvest from being reduced.

"Has the price of food gone up in town?" Li Niang is more concerned about this.

"Not yet, but I overheard the owner discussing with the steward, saying that this year's harvest is not for sale, and I will have to spare some cash to buy grain and stock it up recently." A trace of sorrow flashed on Zhang San'er's immature face, "When the silver is issued at the end of the month, I will exchange it all for food and send it home." ”

Shubai nodded, "Are you prepared, we just sold all the dried fish we had accumulated at home to buy food, and when we got to the town in a while, you directly pulled us to the rice shop that we were familiar with." ”

With Zhang San'er, a good helper, things went smoothly in the future, I bought a cart full of rice and noodles, and then went to Fuyuan Building to say hello to Uncle Cheng and go home, I never thought that Uncle Cheng would have to go back after the three brothers and sisters had eaten.

Shubai refused to refuse, Uncle Cheng pulled him aside and said a few words, he agreed, asked Li Niang and Qingyuan to get out of the car, followed Uncle Cheng to have a sumptuous dinner, and then asked Zhang San'er to send him home.

When he returned to Xiaowan Village, the sky was dark, every family was eating and washing at home, no one was wandering outside, and there were no idlers coming out to look at the carriage passing by, so Shubai had a higher evaluation of Uncle Cheng's shrewdness.

Zhang San'er helped carry the grain into the chamber, and when he left, Li Niang stuffed him with a handful of copper coins for him to take to drink tea, he smiled happily, and disappeared into the night in the carriage.

After putting Qingyuan to sleep, in front of his brother, Li Niang carried the five hundred catties of grain to Tianting Farm one by one, Shubai was not the first time he saw it, but he was still as surprised and emotional as he was at the beginning.

The sage said that Zi Bu was strange and confused, and this sentence was regarded as an iron law by scholars for thousands of years, but now, Shubai's belief has been shaken, and the facts are in front of him, and he is speechless.

Li Niang piled up the grain in the corner of the cabin to keep it as clean and tidy as possible, and when she returned home, she found her brother still in the same place, thinking that he was worried about herself, so she said, "I have laid it all out, and I don't take much space from the owner, and he will not blame him." ”

The fact that the owner of the village may be the ancestor of the Ji family, Li Niang didn't tell her brother, if not, wouldn't she be embarrassed and angry if the owner of the village with great powers knew about it, but Li Niang tried to change her brother's opinion of heaven and immortals, and told him that the owner of the village was a good immortal.

Shubai didn't explain, and gently asked Li Niang to wash and rest, and then he immediately thought of where Li Niang could rest, she had to go to Xianzhuang to work at night.

"Li Niang, do everything according to your ability, don't exhaust yourself." Shubai admonished, and when Li Niang agreed to go back to the room, he also went back immediately to pick up the books, his sister worked day and night for this family, and he had to do his best.
