Chapter Eighty-Five: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Since Li Jingming said so, Zhen Niang would not say anything more. Although I think there are a lot of cats in it, there are some things that don't need to be in a hurry, the so-called can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, only warm fire can make a good soup.

Then Zhen Niang accompanied Huang to rest in the back building, and asked everyone to find a place to rest, and she slept lightly for a while. After all, after half a month of waterway, everyone is very tired.

It is said to be a light sleep, but Zhenniang's sleep is really not shallow, it is late when she wakes up, she opens her eyes, looks at the unfamiliar environment, and has a feeling of crossing over again for a while.

It wasn't until the ticking sound of the water on the eaves outside the house that it came to mind. So I changed my clothes and got up, and pushed open the window, and there was a faint mist in the air.

Nanjing's climate seems to be not much different from Huizhou, before the evening, sprinkled a light rain, Zhen Niang heard the ugly woman muttered that the spring rain is as expensive as oil, so she took the little girl to the backyard to dig a piece of mud, sprinkled some rapeseeds, it was not a waste of time.

Ergou didn't know where Huang Dang had gone.

Looking out of the window at the backyard, Master Ma and Zheng Fuli had already sorted out two small rooms, put out some ink-making tools they had brought before, and set up a small ink workshop that could be used temporarily. After Li Jingming led someone to remove the goods stacked in the big ink workshop in the backyard, he could re-set up the shelves of the ink shop in the ink village.

"Zhenniang, are you awake?" Outside, Huang heard a noise in the house, so he pushed the door and looked inside.

"Well, I've been sleeping for a long time." Zhenniang stroked her forehead with some embarrassment. Bian Lian walked out of the room.

"There's hot water on the shelf over there, go wash and wake up." Huang said with a smile, but he was used to holding a piece of wood carving and carving a carved board. On the table is a drawing that Zhenniang drew when she was on the boat.

This waterway all the way. At first, Zhenniang followed Zheng Fuli to ask some things about Nanjing, and it took two days. Zheng Fuli said about it.

After that, Zhen Niang began to learn carving with the Huang family.

Speaking of carved plates, it turns out that Zhen Niang also has some foundation, after all, the line of dry ink, the carved plate is not crossed, but the machine carved more in later generations, Zhen Niang sometimes can't help but be lazy, are their own drawings, take the machine to carve. So. Compared with Huang's, Zhenniang's carving skills are really rough and can't see people, so I feel that there is some need to learn.

Of course, Zhen Niang learned carving at this time, but did not want to learn what to come out, after all, it is a specialization in the art industry, she is proficient in a set of cigarette and ink, and in the future it should learn from the strengths of all families to enhance ink-making skills. Don't spend too much time on carving.

To learn on the ship, one is to understand the woodiness of the carved board, mainly to make more haode ink, you know. The wood grain of the carved plate is actually an important aspect to the structural stability of the ink.

Others are just to pass the time. After all, the journey is boring. However, in later generations, the carved plates were painted by themselves. Therefore, while learning to engraving, I drew one or two samples of ink lines. Unexpectedly, he was favored by the Huang family.

I just said that although Zhen Niang is not very good at carving, the ink line of the carved plate is good. So, Zhenniang later, she racked her brains to draw all kinds of carved ink lines.

Now these pictures have become Huang's collection.

At this time, Zhenniang washed her face, wiped off the sweat towel, and took a basin to go out to pour water.

"Zhenniang, just put it there, let the little girl come and pour it after a while, you are also the lady of the owner now, you don't have to do this kind of thing yourself." While Huang looked up at Zhen Niang's movements, he said casually.

"It's nothing, I'm used to it, Xiaoya is still digging in the backyard with the ugly woman at this time." Zhen Niang smiled and said to the Huang family. She brought the little girl out, and she didn't really intend to be a girl. Just take her out, let her see the world, her daughter's family, see some of the world, whether it is doing things, husbands, godsons or anything in the future, she will always have more vision and open-mindedness.

As for the shelf of the young lady of the proprietor, there is no need to put it around the close people, she is not a person who can put on a shelf, and some small things, in fact, are not troublesome to do, and it is also a kind of leisure.

"You, have a temperament with your mother, whatever you want." The Huang family is a casual and non-forceful character, since Zhenniang doesn't care, she is up to her.

So Zhenniang still went out with a basin to pour water.

Passing by the kitchen, I looked inside, Sister-in-law Ma was busy working, and Zhenniang had already smelled the aroma of beef soup.

"Virgin, woke up?" When the sister-in-law saw Zhen Niang, she said, and then brought a bowl of tofu and waterlogged: "Zhen girl, this is the boy from Ergou who went out to buy it, called assorted tofu waterlogging, Nanjing's special snacks, by the way, there is a special auspicious name, called the future." ”

"Well, I'm hungry." Zhenniang took it unceremoniously and ate it.

So a bowl of "bright future" went into the stomach.

"Zhen girl, I just fished out the words of the Taoist woman who cooked rice, do you know how Sister Qiu entered the Li family?" At this time, Sister-in-law Ma chattered.

Zhen Niang told her that look was very curious, so she asked, "How did you get in?" ”

"I listened to the meaning of that mother-in-law, that Sister Qiu is not a person of rules, Brother Zhengping originally went to school in a brocade village in front of him to do the accounting room, but last year he was somehow drawn by Ge Patrol to help calculate taxes, which is also a good business, quite decent. But this time Sister Qiu took a fancy to it, Ge Xunlan also deliberately asked people to come to explore the meaning of Jingming's steward, Jingming's steward didn't like the Ge family girl, and he had already asked Brother Zhengping to quit the errand. But later, the Ge family sent someone to call again, saying that some accounts were not clear, and Brother Zhengping passed, but he didn't think about it, somehow, Ge Patrol went home, but he saw that Sister Ge Qiu and Brother Zhengping almost rolled out of bed. Needless to say, Ge patrolled the fence, and Jingming had no choice but to let Brother Zhengping ask Sister Qiu to enter the door. Sister-in-law Ma said.

As she spoke, Sister-in-law Ma lowered her voice and snickered: "By the way, when I went out to buy a handful of green onions just now, I also fished with the neighbors." Everyone was laughing at the Ge family, saying that the reason why the Ge family married Sister Ge Qiu to Brother Zhengping was the idea of beating this house and the five shops, and everyone thought that this house and shop were Jingming's management of their family. Now, they are all saying that the main owner of Huizhou is coming. The Ge family is a bamboo basket for water, and they also lost a daughter in vain. It's all a joke in secret. ”

Sister-in-law Ma said and gave Zhen Niang a thumbs up: "Before." The girl said in public the ownership of the house and the shop, which is a high trick. Everyone knows now, and they can't do anything if they have all kinds of thoughts. ”

"Ha, gossip, even if you hear it, you don't have to take it seriously." Zhenniang smiled.

In fact, she said it in public, mainly to prevent Uncle Jingming's family, after all, from the mouth of the seventh grandmother, in the past few years. Uncle Jingming's finances are very unclear, plus Huizhou has not sent anyone over for more than ten years, at most, it is occasionally Steward Zheng who runs away, but Steward Zheng, Zhen Niang is clear, although he is not necessarily a bad person, but he is not a very responsible person, I am afraid that some things are not clear.

In addition to the situation at that time, so Zhenniang declared sovereignty. The Ge family is just incidental.

"That's, that's." Sister-in-law Ma said. She's just a helper, and she should talk about it, and she shouldn't really be at ease with it.

Zhenniang still smiled and nodded. I naturally understood in my heart that Sister-in-law Ma's words were afraid that they would not be far from ten.

At this moment, I heard a noise in the front yard again, and Zhenniang poked her head out to look. At the other end of the long corridor, it turned out that Li Jingming and his family had moved back.

Anyway, they all live under one roof. Zhen Niang planned to go over and have a look.

It was only after I walked through the hall in the middle that I heard a suppressed quarrel under the stairs. But it was the voice of the Fang clan and the Ge clan.

Zhenniang couldn't help but stop, she didn't care about eavesdropping or anything, but at this time, whether it was moving forward or retreating, it was inevitable that it would alarm people, and that would be not good, so she had to stand quietly aside and wait for the speaker to leave.

"Why did you let me move out of the main house, you said it when I got married, the house in the front yard belongs to us, and the small building in the back yard is your residence, and now you move to the back building to live, this front yard is mine, I love to live in the main house, I love to live in the side house, no one cares." Ge Shi said mockingly in a low voice.

"It was the beginning, and now it is now, I am your mother-in-law, I have to move if I let you move, or we will find the second grandmother to evaluate the theory." Fang Shi didn't let go at all, although he lowered his voice, he had the momentum to say nothing.

Zhen Niang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, she thought that this mother-in-law's weakness was pressed by her daughter-in-law, but now it seems that Fang's momentum is not bad.

"Ha, my mother-in-law has a backer, and the tone of her speech is different, if you want to find the second grandmother to comment, I will also find the second grandmother to comment. Don't forget, when I first entered the door, you patted your chest and said that some of the property is yours, and you also said that it will be left to Zhengping in the future and will be handed over to me to take care of, and now all the old hens have turned into ducks. You said that I was going to stab this matter in front of the second grandmother, and when the time comes, I don't know how you will explain to the second grandmother in your mouth, mother-in-law? "That Ge clan did not give in at all.

"Poke, if you have the ability, you can poke it? You will poke, I will also poke, the goods in the backyard ink factory warehouse are not mine, they are your father's, they are all not taxed, the benefits are all owned by your father, this really wants the tax envoys to know, will your father have good fruit to eat? Fang Shi snorted coldly and lowered his voice.

Zhen Niang blinked when she heard this, what kind of situation is this, neither of them is a good bird.

Ge Shi suddenly giggled: "Okay, mother-in-law, don't you just want to live in the main house, then you live, we are a family, mine is yours, isn't yours also mine?" Now we're grasshoppers on a rope, and that virgin girl isn't a fuel-efficient lamp, so we should get rid of our old suspicions, right? ”

"Of course." Fang said lightly. There was some raised eyebrows in his voice.

This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and two zuihou actually came to abandon their previous suspicions, is this a knot with haode?

Then, there was the sound of footsteps leaving one after the other at the staircase.

Zhen Niang came out from the side at this time, although she didn't mean to hear this, but now she heard it, and it was not bad, the conversation between the two gave her a deeper understanding of the situation here.

Thinking about it, he went back to the small building in the back.

Seeing Zhenniang coming back, Sister-in-law Ma asked Xiaoya to set the meal. Zhenniang accompanied Tian to eat.

"It was quite noisy just now, what's wrong?" The Li family did not have the habit of eating and not speaking, Tian asked thinking about the voice he heard earlier.

"Oh, it's Uncle Jingming, they moved back." Zhenniang replied.

"How much do you understand the situation of this family now?" Huang raised his eyes and asked with some concern, Today is the end of the day. It doesn't feel very good, it seems a little complicated.

"There should be a seven or eight points." Zhenniang thought for a moment.

"Oh. Let's talk about it. Huang put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhen Niang.

"Hmm. Let's talk about Uncle Jingming's side first, I don't know what Uncle Jingming thinks, but Aunt Jingming's mind is very clear, they have been in charge of this property in Nanjing for more than ten years, plus Huizhou Changzong's side, the old and the old, the young and the young, and the widowed are not easy people to go out. This day is high and the emperor is far away. Aunt Jingming is afraid that she has some different thoughts, so she has always said to the outside world that these properties belong to hers. Speaking of this, Zhen Niang took a sip of tea.

"Go on." Huang nodded.

"Let's talk about Ge's family, her father is the patrol fence of this business district, and there are a group of people under him, there should be a bottom on the real estate situation of these things, Aunt Jingming has the idea of these properties, and this Ge patrol fence is likely to want to eat black from Aunt Jingming's hands, so he thought of a way to let Ge's marry Brother Zhengping. I want to get this property through the hands of Ge's family. It's really done, Uncle Jing Ming and their own injustice, that is, there is no way to ask for help. Even if we want to investigate, it seems that we can't investigate the head of the surname Ge. It can be said that this Ge Patrol Fence is wishful thinking. However, Aunt Jingming is still smart, and she also wants to use Ge Xunlan's shili to get this property into her name, so the two families got married. ”

Speaking of which. Zhenniang paused and said: "This family affair is over, but Aunt Jingming can't hold down Ge's family." After all, Ge has her father behind him, and he is at this time. Aunt Jingming received the letter we were coming, so she didn't tell Ge's family, taking advantage of Ge's persecution, she simply moved out with a boat, the purpose of which was to make Ge's hands deflated......"

At this time, Huang interrupted her and said, "Oh, didn't you say that Jingming and they moved out to remove the old house to welcome us?" ”

"Do you believe this reason, the second aunt?" Zhen Niang asked rhetorically with a grin.

"You ghost girl, keep talking." Huang smiled and patted Zhen Niang's smooth forehead, obviously not believing it.

"Go on." Huang said again.

"It's nothing more, Ge Shi has been deflated at our hands, and I also understand that I really want to, and I understand that if I don't cooperate with Aunt Jingming, she won't be able to get anything. And Ge's hand holds the handle of Aunt Feng Jingming, on the contrary, Aunt Jingming also knows some of the secret ways of the Ge family to make a fortune, the two sides have each other's handles, and each other has needs, and now they are naturally shaking hands and making peace, and the next thing is to fight with us. Zhen Niang chewed a piece of beef slices and said, it was really fragrant, and Sister-in-law's craftsmanship was good.

"Oh, then the two of them are the head snakes of the land, we don't know each other well, this is difficult, how do you deal with it?" Huang continued.

"It's actually quite simple." Zhenniang shook her head, with a hint of playfulness.

"Oh, come and listen, it's hard for me to look at." Huang said with interest.

"This, the conspiracy is always not as good as the Yangmou, second aunt, you say, Uncle Jingming's family has been in Nanjing for more than ten years, and they haven't returned to their hometown for many years, so we have to give them the opportunity to get close to their hometown." Besides, now that Brother Zhengping has asked for a new daughter-in-law, shouldn't he go back to his hometown to recognize his ancestors? Zhen Niang reacted to the Huang family.

"Ha, you ghost girl, you are drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, let them go back to Huizhou directly, no matter how much force they can't use, and Huizhou has your seventh grandmother here, it is difficult for them to toss anything, and without Ge's internal response, it is not easy for Ge Patrol to fight any idea, we can sit firmly in Diaoyutai." Sure enough, it's Yangmou, your seventh grandmother didn't misunderstand you. Huang said with a smile, she was worried that the situation was a bit complicated, and she was afraid that Zhen Niang would not be able to cope with it, but now she heard Zhen Niang say this, in order to simplify the complexity and draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, it seems that it is not so difficult, not bad.

"Then when are you going to let Uncle Jingming and them go back to Huizhou?" Huang asked again.

"Don't worry, let's take a look first." Zhen Niang said, but in her heart, she was thinking about the things that the seventh grandmother asked her to check before leaving, and the accounts of these years should be clarified first.
