Chapter 170: Chang Shi's Thoughts
Since Chang's mother told Lin Zhu about her thoughts that day, she has been trying to find a time to talk to Chang Tianlei and Chang Shi, so she has to talk to them.
So Chang's mother knocked on the door of Chang Shifang.
"It turned out to be Chang's mother, please come in." Chang Shi turned sideways and invited Chang's mother into the house, he knew that Chang's mother was a person who did nothing to kick the Three Treasures Palace, and there must be something wrong when she came.
"The Tenth Master must have known the good news." Chang's mother sat opposite Chang Shi.
"Yes, I was also about to tell you, when Boss Zhang returns to the capital after the New Year, let's go back together, let's not let people know that the news that the little master is still alive is better, so it is safer." Chang Shi nodded, and by the way, he told Chang's mother about the results of their discussion with Doctor Zhang.
"That's a good dare, it's really a blessing to Dr. Zhang, if it's a little eye-catching to go on the road alone, it's much better to follow their team." Chang's mother has no objection to this arrangement.
"The general has also returned, hmph, presumably the person behind the curtain is about to show his fox tail." The General's Mansion is tantamount to suffering from an unwarranted disaster, and now only General Chang and Chang Tianlei are left, which can't help but make people sigh.
"Thank God, thank God. The general can come back safely, and the little young master can be regarded as having survived. Chang's mother also sighed, what Chang Tianlei is doing now, but he didn't even think about it, he was a beautiful son of the sky, but he was doing something that a slave should do here, it was really wronged to him.
"It's not a boil here in Miss Lin Zhu, and the food can be regarded as first-class. It is estimated that those princes and nobles in the capital will not be able to eat this special rice and special dishes. When Chang Shiyi thought of this, he felt that his mood was not ordinarily good, and a sense of superiority arose.
"The girl really didn't say anything about us." Mother Chang nodded with emotion, "So I want to wait until I return to the capital and finish the affairs of the General's Mansion before returning to the girl's side." Chang's mother told Chang Shi of her decision.
Chang Shi didn't expect her to say such a thing and make such a decision, his eyes looked straight at her, and he said after a while, "If you want to repay the favor." can let the general or Concubine Lan compensate her well. ”
"Not to repay the favor." Chang's mother shook her head. "You also know that I have never been married in my life, and I will not have children, I think the girl and the little master Fu Douer are similar to my children. That's why I want to stay by their side. Although she does not regret never marrying. It is also a pity not to have children.
Listen to what Chang's mother said. Chang Shi was also a little silent, he was also unmarried for life, so after finding Chang Tianlei. Because he couldn't see the hope of rehabilitating the general, he also treated Chang Tianlei as his own son at that time, taught him to practice martial arts, and let him study. Now Chang Tianlei is destined to return to the general's side, and his identity will be very different.
Thinking of this, Chang Shi suddenly felt empty in his heart and a little uncomfortable. He glanced at Chang's mother and suddenly felt very envious of her, because she had a purpose in life. And he wants to return to the lonely life before the general's mansion is not dilapidated.
Chang's mother was taken aback by the loneliness in his eyes, "Tenth Master, what's wrong with you?" She asked with concern.
"Huh?" Chang Shi came back to his senses, "Ah, it's okay." He paused and said, "However, the capital is quite far away from Linjia Village, and it will definitely take a long time to return to the capital and come back." ”
"It's okay." Chang's mother smiled, "The girl has decided to go to the capital." ”
"She's going too?" Chang Shi couldn't believe it, all along, Lin Zhu tried his best to avoid going to the capital, and he knew the truth, for fear that people would say that it was a coercion to repay him. Why did you change your mind again this time? "For what?"
"It's not because of the Li family." Chang's mother gritted her teeth a little when she mentioned the Li family, "Although the Li family is soft this time, it is difficult to guarantee that the Li family will not retaliate after Dr. Zhang goes back, and even the county magistrate Dong Jisheng, I don't think it's a good thing." Chang's mother glanced at Chang Shiyi and said, "I heard that Lu Zhangshi of Muyue Commercial Bank helped the girl buy a large Zhuangzi on the edge of the capital, which is much closer than in Linjia Village, and it is convenient to take care of it." ”
Chang Shi nodded when he heard this, it is true, if Lin Zhu and Fu Dou'er are left here alone, it is indeed reassuring, "But what about the family business here?" He also knew that Lin Zhu had a deep affection for Linjia Village, otherwise he would not have lived here with an empty house in Song County.
"Well, what should I do if I haven't heard the girl say it? It is estimated that the sale may be relatively large, all in Song County, if the girl's people are still here, they will be troubled if they are not in order, and then the girl will be out of reach, or sold clean. Chang's mother thinks her idea is very reasonable.
"You're right." Chang Shi nodded,
"Tenth Master, I don't know if there is a sentence in the Dao that should be said?" Chang's mother looked up at him.
"Chang's mother has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Speaking from the heart, the girl is really good to us, she has never seen us as a person, and she has always been courteous, if the tenth master is busy with the affairs in the general's mansion, why not return to the girl? Not to mention anything else, I believe that the girl will definitely provide for us in old age. "Chang's mother is very confident.
Chang Shi looked at Chang's mother in front of him, and was silent for a long time, Chang's mother had changed a lot when she first met him, although she was nearly forty years old, her figure had been maintained very well, and the skin on her face had a tendency to become smoother and firmer, making her look comparable to a thirty-year-old person.
Chang's mother was looked at by him, and she was so shy, so she had to raise her hand and wave it in front of his eyes, "Tenth Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Uh, it's nothing," Chang Shi's observation was interrupted by her, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to be staring at Chang's mother for a long time, a little embarrassed, "That, uh, I was distracted just now." ”
"The tenth master may be tired, so I won't bother anymore and go back first." Chang's mother felt a little fever on her face and wanted to leave his house quickly and go outside to cool off.
"Okay," Chang Shi nodded, "I'll send you." ”
"No need, Tenth Master, please stay." Chang's mother quickly refused and walked away quickly. Leaving Chang Shi standing at the door thoughtfully.
"Uncle Ten, why are you standing at the door?" Chang Tianlei hugged an altar and walked to Chang Shi.
"It's okay, what are you taking?" Chang Shi ignored some strange emotions in his heart.
"Hehe, you'll know when you come in." Chang Tianlei mysteriously hugged the jar and entered the house.
"Uncle Ten, look!" Chang Tianlei opened the lid of the jar, and a smell of wine came to his face.
"The girl gave it to you?" Chang Shi asked curiously.
"What, she's so stingy, but she drank her two jars of wine, and she didn't let me touch the door again, and what did she say about the wine that hurt her body," Chang Tianlei pursed his lips, remembering Lin Zhu's way of preaching to him, a little angry, what does a little fart child know? "This kind of wine, no matter how much you drink, you won't get drunk."
"Uncle Ten, let's have some more?" Chang Tianlei couldn't help it when he smelled the wine.
"You," Chang Shi didn't expect that just this little wine would make Chang Tianlei a little childish. Seeing that he wanted to drink secretly, Chang Shi suddenly wanted to spoil him, and the words that Chang's mother said when she was there just now made him feel how happy it was to treat Chang Tianlei as his own child like this. "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and ask for some snacks." After speaking, he shook his head and went out.
Since the wine was released, Lin Zhu calculated that he had collected a total of 100 jars of wine, and distributed 20 jars each to Dr. Zhang and Du Heng.
What people didn't expect was that Chang Tianlei's alcohol volume was the same as General Chang's, and it was no problem to drink one or two catties at a time, but this time Lin Zhu's wine was delicious and the degree was not high, so he was happy and drank two jars and four catties of wine at one time. Lin Zhudu wondered, where did so much wine go, how could a person's stomach hold so much wine?
However, looking at Chang Tianlei's frame style, it seemed that the two altars could not be beaten, Lin Zhu decisively stopped the unlimited supply of Chang Tianlei's rice wine, and changed it to one altar for five days. This made Chang Tianlei very dissatisfied, so he asked Fu Douer to steal an altar. Xiao Fu Douer was deceived by him and secretly took a jar out, so that Chang Tianlei ran to Chang Shi to drink.
After brewing rice wine, Du Heng was relaxed, so he waited leisurely and waited for the New Year while playing chess with Dr. Zhang, but there was still some time before the New Year, so Lin Zhu begged him to go to the bamboo garden to see.
"Grandpa Du, let's go, huh?" Lin Zhu sat in Dr. Zhang's study, bombarding the two people who were playing chess, and whispering in their ears over and over again.
"Alas, okay, okay, I'm really scared of you." Du Heng, who had no intention of playing chess again, had no choice but to put down the chess pieces. "Go and get ready, we'll go tomorrow."
"Okay." Lin Zhu happily agreed and went out to prepare. By the way, go to the kitchen and make some delicious bribes to bribe Old Man Du.
So at dinner, not only did Dr. Zhang and Mr. Du's favorite appetizer - fried peanuts, Lin Zhu added a new dish of old vinegar peanuts, and a sauce pig's trotters and braised pig's heart.
During the meal, Du Heng happily looked at the dishes on the table, and was very satisfied with Lin Zhu's acquaintance, in fact, as soon as he arrived at Lin Zhu, he was very satisfied with her diet here, whether it was the taste of the rice or the dishes, all the best tastes, he was angry with Dr. Zhang at the beginning of calling him to such a remote place, and he ate every day with a smile.
Now that I have made the best rice wine, I have a sip of wine and a peanut, and I feel beautiful.
Moreover, because peanuts have not yet completely entered the public table, they can only be seen occasionally in restaurants, and now in Lin Zhu, there is nothing to do with eating openly, and Mr. Du sometimes feels particularly jealous that Dr. Zhang has lived here for a long time.
Therefore, he decided to help Lin Zhu design a garden that satisfies her. (To be continued......)
