Chapter 8 was troubled, and Zhen Niang argued with reason
Sun Yuejuan's father, Sun Dahe, is the deputy manager of the ink workshop, and he heard Zhenniang say that he wanted to take the lamp and tung oil home to pick up the materials.
These days, Sun Dahe also knows what happened to Zhenniang's family, and he heard that the old shopkeeper used the coffin board of their old couple, so he naturally understood that the Li family was having a hard time now.
Although there is a gap between the old shopkeeper and the sect, it should be okay for the children and grandchildren to earn some hard-earned money and beg for a living.
As for the jishu who lit the cigarette, although Yuejuan praised Zhen Niang on the side, Sun Dahe was a little unbelievable, but the Li family has an old shopkeeper, and there will be no problem if you think about it.
So he gave Zhenniang a guarantee, and then took her to pick up the materials.
"Uncle Xiexie." Zhenniang followed behind, smiling and thanking.
"Don't be so polite, they've been old neighbors for many years, and one day I want to go back to your dad for a drink." Sun Dahe said jokingly.
"Then Uncle Sun is going to be disappointed, my father ran away from Hankou with someone and was kicked out by my grandfather." Zhenniang replied.
Sun Dahe listened, but he didn't say anything, but he nodded in his heart, he deserved to be the old shopkeeper, after all, he still made this heart, Jingfu has really been too bad over the years, and now his tired daughter is running around for the family.
While chatting, the three of them arrived at the materials room of the ink workshop.
"Steward Zheng, I will bring someone to get a hundred oil lamps and twenty catties of tung oil, and go home to get the materials." Sun Dahe said to a middle-aged man dressed in an account room in the materials room.
"Deposit." Steward Zheng looked at Sun Dahe, then at Zhen Niang, and then raised his eyes and said.
Zhen Niang listened to the deposit on the side, and said in her heart, it's broken, how can her family get the deposit at this time. couldn't help but look at Sun Dahe.
"I promise, I'll draw a bet, is it possible?" Sun Dahai stepped forward and said. This Steward Zheng is the son-in-law of Chief Manager Shao, and he speaks so weekdays, he has to please him.
"You vouch, do you have so much insurance? Your two sons each received a hundred oil lamps back, which gives people a guarantee, and it is really going to be lost, but it is not just a matter of money, it will delay the construction period, and it will not be successful. Steward Zheng waved his hand.
"This, doesn't it mean that the descendants of the Li family are free of deposits." Sun Dahe said helplessly, originally, he knew that the old shopkeeper had a bad relationship with the sect, and he didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he wanted to hide that Zhenniang was the granddaughter of the old shopkeeper's family.
It's just that at this moment, Steward Zheng has such a hand, so he can't hide it.
"Oh, you're a descendant of the Li family? Which room? When the person in charge of Zheng heard that Zhen Niang was also a descendant of the Li family, his face softened. But he asked Zhenniang.
"The eighth uncle has one room, and my grandfather is Li Jinshui." Zhen Niang said crisply, Sun Dahe's previous kindness Zhen Niang also knew it, but now that she is on this, then she can't have stage fright, she is out now, she represents the eighth room, and she can't lose her share.
The Li family is in the generation of Zhenniang's grandfather, and there are a total of thirteen brothers together, but many of them died prematurely or died unexpectedly, and now in addition to the late seventh grandfather of Changzong, the surviving ones are the sixth grandfather, the eighth uncle (that is, Zhenniang's grandfather Li Jinshui), and the ninth uncle, all of whom are concubines.
Sixth grandfather Li Jintai, since the death of the Li family's grandfather and grandmother, the brothers separated, he only needed a country grange, to the countryside to live the life of a rich man, there are three daughters under the knees, the first two daughters have already been married, now the children and grandchildren are full, no need to worry about the sixth grandfather, only the youngest daughter, too soft, the sixth grandfather is afraid that she will marry into someone else's family to suffer, at the age of eighteen he helped her recruit a son-in-law to the door, the child of the poor family, but also a hard-working and willing to endure hardships, with a son, six rooms are also considered to be a late break people, The sixth grandfather can also say that everything goes well, and he carries a few red potatoes or corn to various families when he has time on weekdays, which is very leisurely.
And the eighth uncle, who is Zhenniang, is said to have shared a good amount of family wealth back then, but when Gongmo had an accident, Li Jinshui sold part of it to compensate for the loss of Yanzong, and part of it was defeated by the gambling father.
In a few rooms, there is no worse than the eight rooms, and it is not welcome.
The ninth uncle, Li Jinhe, has a part in the ink shop, and now helps the seventh grandmother manage the ink xuan, and has a son and a daughter. Son Li Jingdong was with the seventh grandfather to do things, when Gongmo made a mistake, he was also beaten, two legs were disabled, and later introduced by the seventh grandmother, into the carving family Huang family, learned to carve jishu, by the way also married the Huang family, is now the chief carver of the ink workshop.
From this point of view, Li Jingdong was also affected by Zhenniang's father, no wonder over the years, the eight rooms and nine rooms have not been in contact with each other.
At this time, when Steward Zheng heard that Zhenniang was from the eighth room, his face changed, and he sank again: "No, you can't take it." ”
"I can't get it?" Zhenniang asked with a frown.
"You probably don't know that your grandfather was kicked out of the ink shop back then, and swore that he would never touch ink in his lifetime, and people would not stand without faith, so you should go back and ask your grandfather. Your grandfather even did not hesitate to do anything on the tribute ink in order to compete for the ink workshop, zuihou eventually led to the death of the seventh master and the disability of Jingdong, is it difficult to forget such things? Steward Zheng said with a disdainful face.
Zhenniang knew that her grandfather was afraid that her father's affairs would be exposed, so she resisted this matter, which caused everyone to think that Gongmo's matter was intentionally done by her grandfather.
Now she knew what was going on, but it had already passed, and there was no point in explaining it.
But no matter what, this is the grievance of the seniors, and it is a family matter of the Li family, and it is not allowed to be commented on by an outsider here.
"The affairs of my grandfather's generation, my junior has no right to ask, I only ask you, can my grandfather be expelled from the Li family? Am I still a descendant of the Lee family? Zhen Niang asked step by step.
Steward Zheng didn't expect Zhen Niang's style of words to be so sharp, and she was very embarrassed to be asked for a while.
"Naturally, they are descendants of the Li family, which no one can deny." At this moment, a slightly old voice came. The person who came was an old man of the age of a sixtieth birthday.
The people around all greeted each other: "Mr. Shao is in charge." ”
Zhen Niang looked back at him, it is said that this Shao steward has been a servant of the Li family since his ancestors, and now for several generations, he has long been no different from the Li family, and now he is deeply valued by the seven grandmothers, in charge of all things in the ink workshop.
His status in the Li family is not lower than that of several uncles.
"Hello housekeeper Shao!" Zhen Niang saluted him vainly, Manager Shao is a servant of the Li family, so the people of the Li family are called housekeepers.
"Lady Zhen is polite." Mr. Shao replied in a humble manner.
"Li's ancestral training: Li's ink industry for the descendants of the plan, the descendants of the Li family, regardless of grandchildren, regardless of relatives, as long as they are willing to pay labor, they can get a place to eat in the ink workshop. In this way, Steward Shao, is it inappropriate for Zhenniang to receive the materials for lighting cigarettes? Zhenniang continued.
"There is nothing wrong with it, the virgin girl only needs to sign it, and she can go home with the materials." Shao Steward said.
"Thank you, Steward Shao." Zhen Niang made a gift, no matter what, with Shao's housekeeper as the Li family's dedication, she could not miss the gift, and then someone took her to pick up the material.
"Father-in-law, I think the eighth room is uneasy and kind." After seeing Zhenniang leave, Steward Zheng said to Steward Shao, this Steward Zheng is Steward Shao's son-in-law.
"Presumptuous, did you talk like that? Who are you? Who is the virgin girl, no matter how she is the Li family, it is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks. Steward Shao said sharply.
"I'm not crying out for my ancestors." Steward Zheng argued. Then he said: "By the way, father-in-law, how can I receive the materials when she sends them in two days?" ”
"Nonsense, how to collect it? I still want to teach you how to collect materials. Steward Shao flicked his sleeves angrily.
Looking at Steward Shao's back, Steward Zheng was stunned for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "High, really high." ”
The eighth uncle's personality is clear to everyone, and when he says that he quits the ink industry, he will never touch it again, and the Li family, except for the eighth uncle, Li Jingfu is a drunkard and gambler, Li Dalang's kid only has a handful of brute strength, but he can't do the job of lighting cigarettes, so that anyone in the eighth room can take out enough high-grade tobacco materials, according to the rules, when the time comes, this virgin girl will not only have to accompany the money, but the work will naturally not be accepted, that is, the eighth uncle has also lost face, this is really a few birds with one stone.
