Chapter 11: The First Arrival (9)
"I've seen Master Liu, and it's really a salary in the next place, and I don't want to mention this name in Yuanshan. I haven't met for many years, do you still remember that in the next, three lives are lucky, three lives are lucky," he said.
"It's really Mr. Toyama! Ah!! Forgive the old man for his clumsiness, yesterday I was sad in my heart, and I didn't have time to take care of anything else, and I didn't even notice Mr., I really shouldn't have it! I really shouldn't be. Liu Yun returned the salute as he spoke, and after speaking, he picked up Mr. Gou and walked inside.
Everyone was a little surprised, and Zheng Yu was even more confused. Isn't it just a down-and-out scholar brought back by his father? doesn't even have a talent to show his fame, how can he be treated like this by a wealthy businessman like Liu Yun, and who is Yuanshan? What's the story here?
Entering the front hall, Liu Yun pulled Mr. Gou to sit down, but Mr. Gou refused.
"Master Liu, he is now the bookkeeper of the Zheng Mansion, he is respectful and orderly, and there is a reason for the subordinate to sit in front of the master's house. Master Liu is already flattered to treat him like this, and he must not go beyond it again."
"What, what's that? Mr. is a great talent, a person whom Liu admires, how to ......"
"Master Liu, the past, the past is fleeting, there is no need to mention it. Now I am just a small bookkeeper, I don't deserve to be so praised, I just want to serve my son-in-law well, and live the rest of my life safely, it's enough! Liu Yun was interrupted by Mr. Gou before he finished speaking.
Liu Yun sighed and said: "Since Mr. has made up his mind, the old man will not say anything more, and Mr. Wanwang treats the old man as a friend." If there is any need, just open your mouth, Liu must do his best. ”
"Thank you Master Liu for your concern, I am very grateful. You sit and I'll make you tea. ”
The more everyone here listened, the more confused they became, and they didn't know what kind of dumb riddle these two people were playing. Zheng Yu was even more in the clouds, thinking to himself, I must find a chance to get to know this Mr. Gou well, it seems that this is still a hidden master.
Mr. Gou went to make tea, Zheng Xing took Liu He, Liu Manwen, and Liu Hongguo to the residence to settle the luggage. Zheng Tai was arranged to order food in a nearby restaurant, usually Mr. Gou and Zheng Xing cook, Zheng Yu has a good cooking skills in the 21st century, but would rather eat the "dog food" they made than enter the kitchen, in the kitchen of this era, I am sorry for you if you don't choke on a meal and lose half your life. Anyway, the four old men don't pay so much attention to it, just make do with one bite. What kind of gentleman cooks far away, first of all, they are not gentlemen, and secondly, it means that after having a daughter-in-law, why don't the four bachelors have it now, hang their mouths and drink the northwest wind? But you can't deal with it today, even if you don't consider Liu Yun, aren't there still two ladies?
Only Liu Yun and Zheng Yu, who were sitting on the side studying the burns, were left in the hall, and Liu Yun spoke: "Virtuous nephew, I told you yesterday about going to Jingshi, how did you discuss?" ”
"Back to Shibo, after discussing it, they all agreed to go, and they were going to leave after the first seven days for my father and brothers, and the real estate was entrusted to the tooth store for sale. The tombs of my father and brothers were also moved," Zheng Yu replied.
"So good! I also have this intention, and when I get to Jingshi, I will live at home for the time being, and we will discuss the matter of reopening the martial arts hall in the long run. ”
"Everything is subject to the arrangement of Shibo."
In the middle of the day, Zheng Yu and the others, who had been busy all morning, were already hungry. Everyone came to the dining room one after another after finishing their own business. Zheng Tai had already stopped setting up the table. When the personnel arrived, Liu Yun was arranged to sit on the main seat as the only elder. Zheng Yu and Zheng Xing sat on both sides. Zheng Tai was next to Zheng Yu. originally wanted Liu Manwen to sit next to Zheng Yu, but Liu Manwen refused, so he sat on Zheng Xing's side, which made Zheng Xing uncomfortable for a while. It stands to reason that Mr. Gou, Liu Hongguo, and Liu He are not qualified to serve at the table, but at the insistence of Zheng Yu and Liu Yun, they all sat down and ate together, this move slightly changed some of the two women's views of Zheng Yu, to what extent? Better than nothing.
Four days passed in a hurry, during which Zheng Xing and Mr. Gou were busy with the relocation and almost no one was seen. Zheng Yu accompanies Liu Yun every day. I also learned from Liu Yunkou that Mr. Gou's word Yuanshan was born in Tanhua when he was the first emperor, and he became the left servant of the household department at a young age, and he really had a high position of real power. Later, he wrote a letter calling for an increase in commercial taxes, a ban on the opening of the sea, the strengthening of overseas trade, a severe crackdown on smuggling, and a strong advocate for the development of firearms. In the end, the interests of most of the bureaucracy were touched, so he was convicted and dismissed from office. On the way back to his hometown, his wife and children were intercepted and killed by the enemy, and he was seriously injured and dying, and was rescued by Liu Yun and Zheng's father who were passing by. Zheng Yu was shocked after hearing this, this is more than a talent!! He wondered if Mr. Gou had crossed over like himself. As for Liu Manwen, he stayed at home except for eating and coming to greet his father in the morning. Not to mention any communication with Zheng Yu, there was no misunderstanding before, and the other party didn't give a chance to solve it. Liu Yun talked to his daughter and explained the misunderstanding that day, but he didn't know that Liu Manwen's heart knot was not only the misunderstanding that day, but also the various evil deeds of Zheng Yu in the past that he learned from others. Give a dog a bad name and hang him.
Today is the first seven of Zheng's father and Zheng Yu's brothers, and a grand ceremony was held at home, setting up a spiritual seat, offering to the wood master, worshipping on incense, burning cardboard boxes, and inviting monks to chant and confess. tossed for a whole day, and it wasn't finished until the time passed, and Zheng Yu was almost exhausted to death.
After a busy day, everyone went to rest. Zheng Yu carried a small stall of wine and sat on the stone steps in the courtyard to drink alone. The night in early summer was quiet and peaceful, accompanied by the faint fragrance of flowers and the chirping of cicadas brought by the evening breeze, looking at the starry sky, Zheng Yu gradually fell into contemplation.
By now, all the things related to the former owner of this body have come to an end. In the future, you can be 100% yourself. Or open a martial arts hall to do business, or buy some land for local owners, or even consider participating in scientific examinations to be an official for fun. Be free and do whatever you want. When it's almost time to play, marry a few daughters-in-law and give birth to a bunch of dolls. When I have nothing to do, I bully the maid and beat the child to play. Hahaha!! It's exciting just thinking about it!! I love this feudal patriarchal society. I was happy when I suddenly had a headache in my heart. Speaking of daughters-in-law and children, I thought of my wife and daughter in my previous life, are they okay over there? Hey, I blame myself for being incompetent, not only did I not protect them well, but I even took my life in order to take revenge. This life will not be again, never again, my fate is up to me. Zheng Yu thought about it, and thought that adding alcohol worked, and fell asleep on the steps in a daze. From time to time in his sleep, he reached out and scratched the scabbed wound.
With the first rays of light in the morning, Zheng Yu was woken up by Mr. Gou, rubbed his sore neck, and relieved himself for a long time before he realized that he had drunk too much and slept outside last night. Hurry back and pack up, and today I will leave for Beijing to start my new life. At this time, you can't drop the chain. The new toothbrush was dipped in green salt and stuffed into his mouth, and he didn't brush it twice, "Vomit .......!!" I almost threw up my stomach.
"The first thing I did when I went to Jingshi was to find materials to make a toothbrush by myself!" Zheng Yu, who continued to poke his mouth with a branch, thought hatefully.
