Chapter 430: Guest Meal

The second watch, seeking pink...... After Lian Man'er finished eating, He called Sister-in-law Ping, and another slightly older mother-in-law came over and cleaned up the dining table, dishes and chopsticks.

I wanted to talk more with He, but when I saw that Ping's sister-in-law secretly glanced at He's, He said that there was something wrong and followed Ping's sister-in-law out.

Lian Man'er sat on the kang and looked out the window.

He followed Sister-in-law Ping to the kitchen, and even the old man was pacing in circles in the yard.

"The master said that there are many rules in the yamen, and you can't go out casually in this courtyard. I can't stay in the house, so I can only walk around the yard. Gorou said.

"That's what you said?" Lian Man'er said, "I heard the second aunt just now, I haven't taken it to heart yet." When you get here, you can't just go out of the yard. Chapter 430: Guest Meal"

"There were originally two corner doors in the back, but they were locked by the magistrate and not allowed to go. If the people of this courtyard want to go out, they have to pass through the gate in front of them. Gorou lowered his voice and said, "Behind the Yimen is the lobby of the prefect,...... Xiao Qi and I chatted with our grandfather just now, and our grandfather said that this magistrate is very domineering, and there are people in Yimen who are watching. Whoever went out here and came in, they were all interrogated over there, suspicious or something. The entire county government is full of people from the county......"

Lian Man'er understood that this was the county magistrate squeezing out and suppressing Lian Shouren.

"This county is so alone?" Zhang also understood a little, "...... When you are at home, in such a big front and back yard, your father is used to working again, and he can't go out in this small yard coldly, which is really embarrassing. ”

No wonder even the old man is at this time. Will be pacing back and forth in the yard.

"The master also said that the uncle's official work is very hard." Gorou said again, "Speaking of the uncle, this county prince, has no other authority." Just count the military population in this county. …… He also said that the county governor always sent the uncle to do hard work. It's been less than a month since I came, so I asked my uncle to escort things, and that trip down. Uncle has lost a lot of weight. ”

Hearing Wulang say this, Lian Man'er couldn't help but think of some things in the county government officialdom that Wu Yugui said in Chapter 430. Counting military households is an errand that has no oil and water. And this escort errand is the most chore. If there is a problem with the things to be escorted, such as a shortage of catties or two, or the quality is not up to standard, the person to be escorted is responsible for compensation. And. You have to be in a hurry to escort things, you have to get up and climb in the middle of the night on the road, and you will be punished if you miss the date. is the most thankless errand.

Let's not talk about the item of compensating for things, that is, this fifth watch climbed in the middle of the night to hurry, and even Shouren never suffered like this when he was at home. This time it is natural to be unbearable, and it will be bitter.

Even the old man must be distressed.

"Brother, Xiao Qi, have you said everything you should tell our master?" Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the room, Lian Man'er hurriedly asked.

"It's all said." Gorou nodded.

"Then what did your father say?" Zhang asked.

“…… My aunt mentioned the family matter, my grandfather said, he also read my aunt's letter, for the sake of the two families. I just wrote the letter, I didn't know that our family had rejected my aunt. My father said, this is wishful thinking, we don't want to, then there is nothing to say. He said that he was looking for time and persuaded my aunt. Let's not share anything with my aunt because of this. said that they are all flesh and blood, and if there is something wrong with my aunt, it is not out of any bad intentions, so that how should the two families communicate in the future. Gorou said.

"Ah...... This must be your aunt who sued your grandfather and your grandmother again after arriving here. Zhang thought about it and figured out a little taste.

"My grandfather is an old man, so he will persuade peace. What should be done in specific matters, we have certain rules for ourselves. Gorou said calmly.

Lian Man'er nodded, Gorou was right.

"yes, what should we do?" Zhang also said.

"And that?" Lian Man'er asked again.

"Regarding the rent collection, the master knew that the step-grandfather called the messenger to lock up the people of the old martial family, and the master was angry. The master said that he had already taught his step-grandfather a lesson, saying that this matter was not done properly. Xiao Qi said.

"Then my stepbrother sells grain, cigarettes or something, but I didn't say anything?" Lian Man'er asked.

Gorou and Kochi both shook their heads.

After all, it is the beloved eldest grandson, and even the old man is dissatisfied in his heart, and most of them will endure it, and he will not say anything in front of Goro and Xiaoqi.

Wulang and Xiaoqi said a word to me again, and roughly told Zhang and Lian Man'er about the content of the chat with the old man Lian.

"Master also asked me and my brother if we would delay our homework or anything if we asked for leave from a private school. I said that I would go back to Mr. Lu to give me a make-up class, and I was relieved. Xiao Qi said.

"Master let the two of us study hard and make a name for ourselves in the future. Let us at home, cherish the old and the poor, do good deeds, and take care of relatives and friends who are qualified and can be taken care of, so that we can take care of them. Gorou said again.

Gu and Jiang didn't know what they were busy with, and they never came back, and He went into the kitchen and didn't come out.

Zhao Xiu'e's mother's family in the room, I am afraid that they also have private things to say, and it is inconvenient for them to go. And in Zhou's house, the words are not speculative, and it is not interesting to go. Therefore, the mothers only spoke in the hall.

Lian Man'er felt a little strange. Gu and Jiang are both thoughtful people, knowing the situation at home, they should always come over to accompany them.

"Your aunt will get married tomorrow, and there must be a lot of things outside here. What is your grandmother's master, we don't know. If you want to be busy, I'm afraid you still have to have your aunt and your sister-in-law. Zhang is very understanding, "They may not be busy, we don't pick this ceremony, our mothers are sitting here, quite comfortable." ”

Everywhere he went, Zhang was an easy-going, talkative person.

Lian Man'er looked outside the house again, and in this courtyard, she really couldn't see how much was going on.

In the evening, Lian Shouren, Lian Shouyi, Erlang, and Saburo finally returned.

Everyone had to see each other, and after another greeting, it was time for dinner.

Dinner was divided into three places, and there was a table in the hall, which was Lian Lao Zi, Lian Shouren, Lian Shouyi, Erlang, San Lang, Shilang, Liulang, Zhao Xiu'e's father and eldest brother were also at this table, and Wulang was pulled by Lian Laozi's side. Eat at this table too.

There was a table in Zhao Xiu'e's house in the east wing, and it was He who took Lian Ya'er to accompany Zhao Xiu'e's mother and sister-in-law.

Then there was a table in the landlord's house, and it was Zhou who took Lian Xiu'er, Lian Lan'er, Yinsuo, and Lian Duo'er to sit at a table. Zhang's, Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi were allowed to eat at this table.

The Gu family and the Jiang family want to take care of them inside and out, and they will not be on the table for the time being, and they will wait for everyone to eat. The two of them ate again.

On the kang in the east room, the two kang tables were side by side, and when Lian Man'er and the others entered the house, Zhou took Lian Xiu'er and Lian Lan'er to sit at the table.

Zhang, Lian Man'er, and Xiao Qi also got on the kang and sat down at the table.

After a while, food was served one after another.

There are four cold dishes, a plate of salt-boiled peanuts, a plate of thinly sliced ham, a plate of mixed three shreds, and a plate of soy bean curd. There are five hot dishes. Stir-fried bean sprouts, stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, cabbage and tofu vermicelli, and a big bowl of boiled rotten elbow meat, and finally a bowl of egg drop soup.

There was no rice for dinner, only two plates of steamed buns.

The meals are all ready, and everyone just waits for Zhou's chopsticks to use the rice.

Zhou's face was calm. Stretched out his hand and rearranged the dishes on the table again, and then moved the chopsticks.

Seeing that everyone took the steamed buns first, even Man'er reached out to take them, only to find that in the big plate in front of the three of them, there were a few coarse noodles in front of the three of them.

Lian Man'er was secretly speechless, and as soon as the outstretched hand turned, he took a white-flour steamed bun. As soon as the corner of his eye swept away, he saw that Zhang also stretched out his hand. but to take the coarse bed. Lian Man'er easily stuffed the white-flour steamed buns into Zhang's hand, and reached out to take two steamed buns, one for Xiao Qi and one for herself.

Zhang took a bite of the white-flour steamed bun, and he could hear the sound of chopsticks falling heavily on the other side, as well as Zhou's cold snort.

Zhang's mouthful of steamed buns in his mouth. It's just a little bit of a bad taste.

Lian Man'er gently touched Zhang's with her elbow, signaling her to let go of her heart and eat openly.

"Mother, you are not the little daughter-in-law of the past now, you are a guest."

Even if Zhou deliberately put a few coarse noodles in front of Zhang, Zhang's she didn't eat it herself, and Zhou could still stuff it into Zhang's mouth. Zhang's doesn't eat coarse noodles and eats white flour steamed buns, what can Zhou do if she is angry. Although Zhou was beaten, although she was angry with herself, she didn't believe in this occasion, Zhou dared to say that she would not let Zhang's eat white flour steamed buns, and let Zhang's eat thick noodles.

Lian Man'er took a bite of steamed buns and stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, only to find that the garlic sprouts fried meat and garlic sprouts fried meat that were originally placed in front of her were gone, and were replaced by cabbage and tofu vermicelli and vegetarian fried bean sprouts.

Lian Man'er sandwiched a chopstick, bean sprouts, and ate it.

"This bean sprout is delicious." Lian Man'er praised it, and at a glance he saw that the garlic sprout fried meat was in front of the silver lock.

Lian Man'er put down her chopsticks, picked up the bean sprouts, and handed them to the silver lock.

"Silver Lock, you love to eat this dish, give it to you, let's change it." Lian Man'er brought the plate of sauerkraut fried meat with one hand, and put the vegetarian fried bean sprouts in front of the silver lock with the other hand.

"I don't like bean sprouts, I want to eat fried meat with garlic sprouts." Silver Lock was annoyed.

Lian Man'er didn't hear it, and was only busy serving vegetables to Zhang and Xiao Qi.

Lian Lan'er glanced at Lian Man'er, and secretly pinched a silver lock to silence her.

Yinsuo felt aggrieved, looked up at Lian Lan'er, and saw that Lian Lan'er was glaring at her, so she had to shut up aggrievedly.

Zhou's rice didn't eat anymore, rushing to Lian Man'er and Zhang's luck. Lian Lan'er was making a look on the side, and her subordinates were making a fuss, trying her best to appease the Zhou family and prevent her from getting angry.

Lian Man'er didn't see it, and used cabbage tofu to replace the ham slices in front of Lian Lan'er to herself.

"I won't eat it." Zhou slapped the table and sat aside to get angry.

Lian Lan'er saw Zhou's back turned around, so she moved the elbow meat that was originally in front of Zhou's to Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi.

"Thank you, auntie." Lian Man'er said loudly...... Send the second watch, ask for pink.

Last month, "Reborn Little Landlord" received more than 2,000 pink votes, ranking third on the pink list, and I would like to thank you all for your support. I hope that this month, everyone will continue to support "Rebirth of Small Landlords", so that small landlords can get off to a good start in the New Year.

The pink list is for everyone. Weak face sneaks down to code words, and there will be three watches at night.

The pink ticket is powerful, there will be a surprise...... To be continued) rq!!
