Chapter 82: Can't be provoked

"How many villages are there in that kind of chrysanthemum?"

The steward of Wei, who was still relieved just now, suddenly turned his face, turning his face like turning a book, and Tang Daming beat a drum in his heart.

Any person sent here has an identity, and they are too late to settle these crops, let alone guide the planting of vegetables. Everyone didn't understand why the guard steward was suddenly angry, everyone stood aside, no one dared to make a sound, all of them held their breath, and they didn't even dare to breathe. For fear of angering the steward, they threw up their sleeves and left, and when the time came, who would teach them how to grow chrysanthemum. They've already paid for the seeds!

Tang Daming cautiously replied to Steward Wei's words: "Our Hujia Village is the first village to come into Weijia Town, and there are more than ten villages. There should be a cabbage seed in every village. ”

"Really?" The steward swept the people present through his eyes, and the anger hidden just now rose again: "There are only so many people in more than ten villages? ”

"Of course not." Tang Daming hurriedly clarified, he didn't know what the Wei steward was going to ask, but he seemed to have a faint feeling in his heart: "All the people here are from our village, Weijia Village is across the river, I don't know if the Wei steward will go to Weijia Village later." Actually, I can have someone go and inform the people in Weijia Village right away, and ask them all to come here, so that you don't have to go there when the time comes......"

"What?" Before Tang Daming finished speaking, the guard steward shouted angrily, his eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were wide staring at Tang Daming, and he asked angrily: "You mean that all the people from the other ten or so villages will not come today?" Do they not want to learn how this chrysanthemum is grown, or do they think they don't need to be taught? Why did you apply in the first place? He paused. He squinted sideways at Tang Daming, and asked coldly: "Or is it that someone is selfish and didn't notify the rest of the villages?" The appearance of the yin test startled everyone.

Tang Daming was shocked and sweated, and assured the guard steward in fear: "Wei steward Mingjian, how can we have that guts." It's true that no one has ever mentioned this to me, but they just said that you should come over today and let the people in the village wait. Steward, you must check it out......"

This person was sent directly by Wei County, and I don't know what kind of person it is, but he taught them that planting chrysanthemum vegetables is a nobleman. He didn't dare to borrow Tang Daming's ten dares, these nobles were all busy with things. Look at the angry look of the guard. He was really afraid that he would delay the other party, and then put all the responsibility on him, and that would be the end!

Tang Daming's face turned pale, and he kept explaining to the Wei steward.

The steward looked at Tang Daming's panicked look. I also know that he doesn't have the guts. I was secretly annoyed in my heart. When you go back, you must punish the people below. Especially the messenger. The rest of the village did not come, so he could not complete this task, and he had planned to complete the task in the morning. In the afternoon, I went back to Wei County directly, which is good, and I can only rush at night.

Flicking his sleeves, he turned around and walked in the direction of the village entrance, Tang Daming was in a hurry, hurriedly chased after him, and asked hard: "Steward Wei, who are you?" ”

The guard steward didn't look at him, and said coldly: "You immediately send someone to inform the villages, and gather here on time in the afternoon, if someone is delayed, they won't plant at that time, but you can't complain about others!" ”

Do you think you're going to pick a pick?

Tang Daming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although everyone waited in vain in the morning, but fortunately, the other party promised to come again in the afternoon. Who called them the little people?

He stopped, looked back at Wei Qifeng, who was standing in a crowd of dumbfounded, and hurriedly said, "You go ......"

After saying that, he realized that something was wrong, although this matter was important, it was okay to send someone to inform him later, and now he had to send this guard steward out of the village quickly. Only then did he hurriedly take two steps, and then turned back to the villagers behind him who had not yet reacted: "Send the guard steward back to the town." ”

The people of a village dragged their feet and followed Tang Daming to send the guard steward to the entrance of the village.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw that the housekeeper was not alone, and there was a young boy dressed as a small boy standing by the small river at the entrance of the village, and two strong horses were eating grass leisurely.

Seeing that the guard steward came out so soon, the young boy hurriedly led the horse to meet him, and said in surprise: "Fourth master, this is the end?" ”

The steward of the guard crossed him with a gloomy face, took the reins, turned over and got on the horse, and said coldly: "I can't do this thing well, it's all messy playing the piano." Then with a "driving", a whip was whipped on the horse's buttocks, and the dust was blown away.

The young boy touched his nose, led another horse and turned over, and chased after him on a horse.

Two strong horses, tall and big, black and shiny fur, touch the hand is oily and slippery, the horse's hooves are vigorous and powerful, the sound of the horse's hooves is rhythmic and pleasant, and the road is dusty.

Fox Xiaomei felt in her heart that if their family could have such a horse, it would be great, not to mention that they could sell a lot of silver, and they could save a lot of work by pulling things.

It wasn't until the dust fell back to the ground that everyone came to their senses. Tang Daming wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and muttered: "A steward has such a style, can't those who are officials be scared to death by their official authority?" ”

If it's just a steward, of course, it doesn't have such a high momentum, but "It depends on whose steward this is?" ”

Tang Daming was stunned for a moment, looking at the fox Xiaomei, this was quite right, and he guessed in his heart that this housekeeper must have a lot of background. He was dozens of years old, and his face turned pale and his heart trembled when he was frightened for the first time. I only felt that I had lost face in my heart, but looking at the other people, who were still stunned and stupid, Tang Daming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned his head and thought of the words that Hu Xiaomei said calmly, and couldn't help but look at Hu Xiaomei standing next to Wei Sanniang again.

Different from the trance of other people, her face was calm, her eyes were clear, and she suddenly felt a strange feeling of some unknown reason for what she had just said.

Putting down the miscellaneous thoughts, Tang Daming immediately called a few people and went separately to inform the people of the other dozen or so villages, as long as he brought the words, it was not his responsibility to come or not.

After just a while, Tang Daming felt a little tired, and secretly sighed that he was smooth sailing in the village, and he was used to living a comfortable life, and he couldn't stand the toss when he suddenly had something. waved his hand and let everyone do their own thing, and he went home.

Although the people are gone, the gossip will not stop, and after Tang Daming left, everyone did not leave immediately, and gathered together to gather around.

"I don't know where this person came from, the pie is really big, don't you see the village chief at that time with a look of panic."

"Could it be that you are not afraid, you didn't see that the little guy who came with him was riding a tall horse, and he must be the housekeeper of the great family. These people can't afford to offend, not to mention that we have to count on people to teach us how to grow chrysanthemum. ”

"That's true, but this shelf is really big, it's just a steward......"

"You know what. Do you know that the first-class maids of the young master and young lady in a large family are all one or two per month, and one steward must be a lot more. ”

"What? Or? So much? ”

"Ouch, why don't I have a daughter, I have a daughter and send it to others as a maid."

"You're so beautiful! Do you think that being a maid is something you can do if you want to be? It depends on whether the owner of the family needs you or not. ”

……

The more you say a word, the more you talk about it, the more boundless it becomes, but it sweeps away the unpleasant atmosphere at the beginning!

Fox Xiaomei, Fox Lixiang was also discussing on the way back with Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou.

Fox Lixiang didn't understand, but how could the manager of a big family be so arrogant.

Hu Xiaomei is not a person of this era, and she doesn't know much about the rules and systems of the Celestial Empire, but she hasn't read novels before, but she knows a little bit.

"If it is an ordinary housekeeper, there is naturally no such shelf, but if his main family is a big family in our Wei County, or a great person, let alone our Hujia Town, even other official offices around Wei County will also give a little thin face. Since ancient times, it has been a combination of government and business, but I don't know whether the master of this matter is an official or a businessman. Yihu Xiaomei guessed that it might have something to do with the official, because I hadn't heard of any big merchants in Wei County. Maybe there is a big businessman, but she doesn't know it.

Not to mention the fox fence incense, even Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou were also stunned by Hu Xiaomei's words.

Wei Sanniang said: "Who told you this?" ”

Fox Xiaomei paused and said, "No one told me, isn't this a natural truth?" ”

Wang, who didn't know when he was walking with them, suddenly said in surprise: "Fence Jing even understands this? Sure enough, the brain is easy to use! ”

Wei Sanniang and Hu Dayou were also shocked, several people listened attentively to Hu Xiaomei's words, but no one found out when the Wang family was following them, Wei Sanniang glared at Hu Xiaomei quietly, and said to Wang: "What does she know, she will be blind all day long." "I thought to myself, it's good to say something inconsequential.

Taking advantage of this time, Wei Sanniang and Fox Lixiang went to cut the pigweed with a back on their backs, and Fox Xiaomei prepared the dishes to be eaten at noon at home. After Xiang had lunch, the family gathered outside Tang Daming's house without delay.

Xu was frightened by the majesty of the guard steward in the morning, and everyone hurriedly ate lunch and came to gather outside Tang Daming's house. Today's weather is good, the warm sun shines on the body is very comfortable, everyone found a place to sit down and chat, the field, and there are two long rows of people sitting on the side of the road.

didn't sit for a while, people from other villages also came one after another, Weijia Village and Hujia Village were the closest, followed by Xiaojiahe, so people from the two villages came the earliest. Those who are far away will complain to Tang Daming as soon as they arrive in Hujia Village, why don't they go inside for two more villages, especially the people in Qinghe Village, the farthest village, it will take one and a half hours to reach Hujia Village if they are fast, and it will take two hours to walk slowly. Some of them didn't even eat lunch.

Tang Daming was also very helpless, and told the village chiefs of each village in detail about the morning's events, and finally said: "...... You didn't see that posture, if it weren't for my nodding and sighing explanation, I'm afraid people would just throw up their sleeves and leave. We'll have to rely on ourselves when the time comes! ”

They are just ordinary people, how can they afford to provoke nobles?

The crowd booed! (To be continued......)

PS: No matter what, I'm still silently myself.

Got a cold.
