Chapter 56: Master and Servant Talk About Lin Zhu

"Do you have something to say?" Doctor Zhang, who was about to go to bed and rest in the back room, stopped and turned around and asked when he saw that the housekeeper was about to speak and stopped. "Master," Steward Zhang walked up to Doctor Zhang, bowed and replied, "Little one just thinks that you are a little too good to Miss Xiaozhu." "Not only did I give a jade pendant of high value, but the most important thing was that I was close to him, like an attitude of my own family, which was an unprecedented situation. If this is known to the people in the house, it will definitely attract the jealousy and dissatisfaction of many people.

"What do you think of her?" Dr. Zhang did not answer the housekeeper's question, but asked rhetorically. "The little one thinks that although the little bamboo girl is not very old, it is not easy for her to live alone, and today's events show her pure heart." Steward Zhang pondered for a moment before replying. "It's just that sometimes I feel that my scheming is quite deep and I can't figure it out," Steward Zhang paused, "If you are born in the courtyard of the mansion, you are not surprised." But she is an orphan girl in the countryside, so she is too outstanding. Although Steward Zhang's words were secretive, with Dr. Zhang's experience, of course, he could hear that Lin Zhu was deliberately approaching and currying favor with him. Doctor Zhang also thought about this problem, but later he denied it, but seeing that the housekeeper looked a little good, Doctor Zhang had no choice but to dial one or two, "Did the bamboo girl ask you about me?" "Not really." Steward Zhang shook his head. "Aside from the method of drying goji berries, have you ever given her anything else?" "Not either." He shook his head again. "We got a lot of things from her. Although they are all vegetables and vegetables from the countryside, they are nothing to us, and they are worth a lot of money to the countrymen, but she sent them without saying a word, and she didn't ask for a penny, do you know what it is for? "Could it be that she's putting a long line to catch a big fish?" As soon as Steward Zhang finished speaking, he found that his master's eye knife was flying over, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly lowered his head. Doctor Zhang looked at this housekeeper who had been with him for many years, and knew that he had seen too much of the various intrigues and intrigues in the officialdom and the interests of the house, although what he said was not to be heard, but there was some truth, but it was not appropriate to use it here. "She's repaying her kindness." "Isn't she trying to find her biological parents through you?" Steward Zhang has sent someone to investigate since Lin Zhu and Dr. Zhang met for the first time, and they all know about Lin Zhu's life experience. "Don't use the same set in the capital here, the countrymen are not as snobbish as you think." Dr. Zhang went on to say, "The bamboo girl does know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but she does not calculate others, you can see the village chief's family to understand, she can do the wolfberry business by herself, but she gives half of it to the village chief's family, do you know what this is for?" "The village chief's family can shelter her." This is only part of the reason, and the other reason is that she wants to establish herself in this village, and she can't do it without the support of the village chief. It is best to make friends with the village chief's family. Another point, the village chief's wife's concern for her is from the heart, and the bamboo girl knows this, so she helps their family. ”

It wasn't until this time that Steward Zhang understood that his master took a fancy to Lin Zhu's character and character, and he also understood that he not only thought about Zuo, but also underestimated Lin Zhu. Doctor Zhang saw that the housekeeper understood a little, and said to him: "If you think about the whole story of her losing crops in the field, the bamboo girl not only has scheming, but also means. At a young age, he knows how to forbear, and he makes a preemptive move to make it beautiful. The village chief's family still owes her a favor. When Dr. Zhang said this, he couldn't help but praise Lin Zhu.

At the beginning of Dr. Zhang's stay in Linjia Village, Steward Zhang ordered people to inquire about any news in the village every day, so Lin Zhu's loss of crops was hidden from others. Steward Zhang knew the ins and outs of this matter, and always felt that there was an idea in his heart but he couldn't grasp it, and now he understood as soon as he heard what Doctor Zhang said, Lin Zhu not only kept the reputation of the village chief's family, but also the reputation of the Lin family, so the village chief had to accept her favor.

In Steward Zhang's opinion, although his master has become a celebrity, and he is only an imperial doctor, and he does not participate in the affairs of the court on the surface, how can this good thing be good for himself as an official in the court, he has been cautious for so many years, just asking for a good death. But now that the court is changing, there are some signs of momentum on all sides, and my lord is just to protect his life, so he traveled around and found a small village. But after all, he was very different from this countryman. Therefore, when Dr. Zhang showed that he valued Lin Zhu, Steward Zhang would be disgusted with Lin Zhu. Now he has also let go of his prejudice against Lin Zhu.

"Tomorrow, when you go to the bamboo girl to deliver something, take a few more pairs of the medicine I prescribed. As soon as we leave, it will not be easy for them to see the child. Dr. Zhang instructed the housekeeper again, "The main thing is not to forget to bring the food back." "This is his main purpose, Steward Zhang couldn't help but have black lines on his head when he heard it, and his master couldn't forget to eat this stubble." The cabbage planted by the little bamboo girl is really good. In the past, it was only cabbage that couldn't be served on the table, but I thought it would be so delicious. "Steward Zhang remembered that the taste of the cabbage was also endless, which was the only place he had a good impression of Lin Zhu before - a good cabbage planted." I heard that she is going to plant watermelons and peppers next year, but this watermelon is not easy to grow, so the people in our Zhuangzi tried to plant it, but not only did the watermelon not grow, but also wasted a year's agricultural time. And the watermelons on the market either entered the palace or entered the homes of dignitaries. It is rare for ordinary people to eat it, even if they see it. "Zuo, but I have to come over next year, and then we can see if the bamboo girl can be planted, if it is really successful, there will be less of ours." Dr. Zhang has already decided that he will be able to eat watermelons planted by forest bamboo next year. The housekeeper couldn't help but feel worried about Lin Zhu on the side, this thing had not yet been seen, and it had already been remembered. "I just don't know what she's planting that pepper for? We also planted a few pots in our house, and it looks good when it grows red, but the fruit is really difficult to eat. The butler couldn't help but shake his head when he remembered the taste of chili peppers. But no matter what the little bamboo girl can grow, as long as it can be eaten, it will definitely be indispensable to us. Doctor Zhang nodded approvingly. And next year, let her grow more cabbage, and save it like now. "Dr. Zhang was dissatisfied that the housekeeper only let him eat one cabbage a day. Since eating the cabbage he got from Lin Zhu, Dr. Zhang always feels that his body is much lighter and his spirit is much better. But it's not sure yet, after all, after coming here, he often goes up the mountain to collect medicine, which can be regarded as moving his body and bones, plus the food is not as delicate and rich as when he was at home, and some emaciation is not necessarily. But no matter what, for a veteran foodie, that delicious cabbage can't be missed.

Dr. Zhang was happy at the thought of being able to bring back a batch of cabbage, do you want to take it as a souvenir to go home, and then thought about it and denied this idea, the family may not approve of this dish, and are used to eating those carefully carved delicacies of the mountains and seas, how can this crude cabbage get into their eyes, and they will throw it away, which is not good, or it is better to put it away by themselves.
