72 Counseling
He Hui hugged his daughter, and his heart was turning back and forth, maybe it was time to take a look at each other in advance, so it would be better to inquire about the conduct, knowledge, and family history of the children of the family in Beijing, so as not to get busy at the time, and choose one for her daughter as soon as possible, and the future of the province will be affected by the pond fish.
She lowered her head and kissed her daughter's smooth forehead gently, her heart was soft, her well-behaved daughter was reluctant to be sent to the palace to eat people to suffer, my daughter has to live happily and wantonly for the rest of her life.
He made up his mind with Princess Hui to go back and discuss it with Hou Ye, first make a list of the children of the family, and pick them well.
When I arrived at Zhuangzi, the steward led the servants and women to greet them on the road early, and the steward came forward to kowtow, "The villain Zhang Lu greeted the Hou Ye and the eldest princess and the young master, the room was cleaned, and the meals were prepared with porridge and side dishes, all of which were produced by Zhuangzi himself, and there was a little wild vegetables in the spring, the masters tasted fresh!" ”
Zhang Lu's family stepped forward and led a group of masters to enter the Zhuangzi, which was operated by the Huangzhuang for many years and was connected with the surrounding fields.
"How is the output of Zhuangzi? Tenant farmers may be full, our family is different from other families, tenant farmers can not be harsh, every three or five days must have meat, even if there is no mutton, there must be pork to eat, the food must be full, do not oppress the people to do things that damage the reputation of our Hou Mansion. Princess Hehui took a wrong step behind Hou Ye and instructed Zhang Lu's family.
Hou Ye also nodded back and said, "What the princess said is very true, nothing else, our family is not short of that little food." Don't do anything to treat a bad reputation badly, so that I know that I can't spare you! ”
Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law was slightly fat. The skin is slightly dark, but the person looks crisp and generous, and the speech is crisp. "Rest assured, we don't dare to do such a thing, the masters are sympathetic, last year let dig an extra ditch, this is not the beginning of spring this year, the construction began, the villagers are invited to do it, every five days there must be pork on the table to eat, two rice tube full, there are meat dices in the dish. Our family's meals are absolutely not wrong, and the wages are cleared every month, and there is no arrears. She slapped her thick palms on her chest, confidently reassuring.
Hou Ye and Princess Hehui were not only not annoyed, but liked her to be so frank and generous, Hou Ye smiled at his man and said: "Well, the people under the princess are all good, I remember that your name is Zhang Lu!" Well done. Your goodness is indispensable! ”
Zhang Lu knelt on the ground and kowtowed excitedly, "It is the duty of the slave to be loyal to the master, and he dare not praise him as the master." Only do your duty with all your heart! ”
"Well, get up! I know you're a good guy, don't worry, I know it! Princess Hehui raised her hand in satisfaction.
"Madame go and rest first. I'll go to the front field to have a look, and Brother Hao and Brother Pei will follow me. Check it out! Master Hou took this opportunity to teach his son to take it away as well.
The subordinates prepared the house for Princess Hehui and others, and it was very clean. The meals are all self-produced on Zhuangzi, two of which are particularly popular wild vegetables, mother-in-law, bracken bracken with a blanched garlic paste and mix it cold, the entrance is also very delicious with a little fragrance, the cook also made a small dumpling with shepherd's cabbage, mixed with pork stuffing oil fried into a pot sticker, with a little crispy raw and wild vegetables unique fragrance not to mention how delicious, Yang Lan ate a plate in one go.
Princess Hehui also ate very well, and said to Mama Zhang: "Reward them, the food is well done, just make it so light, this bacon is also good, you also go down to taste it, rest your feet!" ”
The girls handed mouthwash and rinsed their mouths, washed their hands, and Biyun handed over a cup of tea.
Yang Lan ate wild vegetables very fragrantly, and said, "Mother, I'll go and pull wild vegetables tomorrow!" I'll make this potsticker, and I'll make it for you tomorrow! ”
Zhuangzi is full of interesting things, Yang Lan has long been looking forward to coming to play, it is rare to have this opportunity, but you can't miss it.
He Hui didn't stop her daughter from making trouble, and her daughter's family was more comfortable in her mother's house for a few years, and she couldn't help herself when she got married, so she nodded and smiled: "Okay!" You can go, you have to bring them with you, we have to stay here for three days! You can also go horseback riding with your brothers, there is a forest over there that is also our family, I bought that piece of small green mountains in one go, and there are animals on the mountain! There's also a river over there, and there are fish in the river, so you can go fishing, or invite a few friends to play tomorrow. She encouraged her daughter to move around more.
"Well, it's too late this time, I'll invite them to play in a few days, mother, you're tired of being a carriage for a day, rest early!" I'm going to see what Daddy is doing. Yang Lan jumped off the kang and ran to find her father.
He Hui watched her daughter run away from the bounce, and couldn't help but shake her head, "This kid is not steady!" ”
Mama Zhang stood on the edge of the kang, looked at it and said with a smile: "I see that the little master has a good temperament, is cheerful and generous, and has a strong personality, and the daughter's family is particularly important, being too sensitive and slender may not be a blessing!" ”
Princess Hehui also nodded in agreement, "Isn't it!" It is not easy for my daughter's family to be born, and I don't have the heart to be more wronged! I don't care about others, my daughter can't learn to cry, I'm most annoyed by such tears! ”
"Yes!" Mama Zhang also nodded.
The master and servant said a few more gossips, Mama Zhang couldn't refuse the kindness of Zhang Lu's family, went down to rest, and Princess Hui Chang here temporarily let Zhang Lu's family serve in front of her, introduce the things on Zhuangzi, and by the way, sort out the accounts and make an appointment to meet the tenant farmers and the nearby shop stewards tomorrow, and there are some miscellaneous things to deal with.
After a night's rest, Yang Lan followed her mother to see the housekeeper, sat aside to listen to her mother explain to the housekeepers, and helped her mother check the accounts last night, which is also a must-learn content for the housekeeper director.
This Zhuangzi is the mother's dowry, once it was the Huangzhuang, both from the repair and the scenery is very good, over the years the mother has been operating and recuperating very well, the villa also bought a small green hill that no one wants nearby, a total of more than 200 acres of land, every year will plant some trees, put some animals, you can harvest some fur in the coming year, it is also an income, and the skin is also an indispensable gift for the New Year's Festival.
Zhang Lu is the chief steward of Zhuangzi, he is very clever, calculating, and has strong overall planning ability, not only repairing the scenery of Zhuangzi is extremely beautiful, but also using the output of different courtyards to buy and sell, and the income is also very good.
There is an artificial lake dug by itself in the lotus garden, which will put fish fry every year, the fish is also a good output after harvesting, the pine and bamboo yard is planted a lot of bamboo, and the bamboo shoots are also indispensable to enter the house every year, and there are also some medicinal seedlings in the green mountains regularly, and there is also a lot of income, so a virtuous circle is not just a Zhuangzi, the basic purchase in the house is just to buy some materials that Zhuangzi does not have, most of them are self-sufficient.
Zhang Lu also made a lot of profits in Zhuangzi, and he didn't take less money, but his mother didn't care and said: "Zhang Lu is smarter than clever but measured, even if he takes money, he is also known to the master on the surface, and he never treats the people under him harshly, and there are rewards and benefits from time to time, there are a lot of chickens, ducks, fish and meat on the Zhuangzi, except for the house, which is sold in his own grocery store, and the rest are distributed to the people who work in the Zhuangzi and have a good relationship with those stewards, so his popularity is not worse than that of Lin Guanshi, and everyone is willing to help if there is anything, When we were still in Beijing before, your father would often invite friends to come over to play, so the repair was excellent, and there will be days when we come to play in the future!
