Chapter 144: Second Aunt's Thanksgiving
"Auntie, this Muping County is in office, I want to take Erlang with me!" After talking about the marriage, Zhang Junping mentioned the matter of going to Mu Ping again.
Taking the students of the academy to Muping County to take office, you must get the consent of your parents, and among the brothers of the Zhang family, Zhang Junhui, the second lang, is of the right age, 16 years old this year, and can follow him to Muping County. However, you also have to get the consent of the second aunt.
"Your second uncle himself is a foolish character, although he doesn't go to the place of Golan now, but he soaks in the cattle farm all day long, and Erlang's education can't be counted on!
Da Lang is willing to take Erlang with him, and the concubine is a concubine on behalf of Erlang, thank you Da Lang! Saying that, the second aunt got up and gave Zhang Jun a parallel salute.
Zhang Junping hurriedly dodged away, "Auntie, you are trying to torment your little nephew!"
It is my duty as a big brother to educate my younger siblings! ”
"Da Lang, you are a kind person, your second uncle almost destroyed the Zhang family, but you didn't complain, and let your younger brother go to the academy to study, and invite a female gentleman for your sister.
Cao Li made such a big mistake, it is not an exaggeration to put him to death, but not only did he not punish Cao Li, but also made him responsible for such an important matter, these concubines saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts! The second aunt looked at Zhang Junping and said emotionally.
I sighed in my heart, why is there such a big difference between the children and grandchildren of the Zhang family?
For this nephew, the second aunt is grateful from the bottom of my heart.
"Auntie, you're polite, we're a family, what are you talking about?" Zhang Junping smiled heartily.
Zhang Junping also smiled bitterly in his heart, what can he do with such a second uncle?
If it's really a turn, you can't blame the second uncle all, it's his grandfather and his old son who pursued some strong and weak branches, and cultivated the second uncle into a gentleman.
In this era when filial piety is the first, he dares to say that grandpa and Lao Tzu are not?
In this era of murder and arson, corruption and perversion of the law will not necessarily lose his official position, but with a reputation of unfilial piety, it will be difficult to move an inch, what can he do?
He can only appease the second uncle and aunt, try his best to cultivate his younger siblings, it is enough to have a second uncle in the family, and he can't bear it if he has a few more.
"Yes! Family, the words that Da Lang gave to the concubine, 'home and everything is prosperous' The concubine has always been treasured!
When the little lady of the Yang family enters the door, the concubine will definitely try her best to help the little lady of the Yang family take care of the back house, so that Dalang can feel at ease when he is outside! ”
This is the promise made by the second aunt to Zhang Junping, she will not compete with Yang Jiuying for the position of the head of the back house, and when Yang Jiuying marries into the Zhang family, everything will be respected by Yang Jiuying.
"Auntie, Jiuying is still young, so if you know how to manage the house, you have to rely on your aunt to help you!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
Although she was modest in her words, she did not shirk the important task of managing the back house for Yang Jiuying, which is the right and responsibility of a housewife.
As a person who has come from the 21st century, from the perspective of respect for women, Zhang Junping can't and doesn't want to make decisions for Yang Jiuying.
"The stove that Da Lang let people build is so easy to use, the concubine is so big, this is the most comfortable winter to live!
The subordinates also praised Da Lang, saying that with the stove, they were much more relaxed, and hot water was available at any time, whether it was washing or ...... It's a lot more convenient......" After finishing the business, the second aunt didn't, but talked to Zhang Junping cordially.
"If my aunt likes it, it's fine! Just be sure to explain clearly, don't leak smoke, if there is smoke leakage in the flue, it should be better and new immediately! ”
Honeycomb coal stoves are actually not the best heating stoves, and they are not as warm as the stoves that burn coal directly.
However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the heat emitted by a honeycomb coal stove and a long chimney was constant, and it was still much warmer than using a brazier to burn charcoal.
The biggest advantage of honeycomb coal stove is that it can save the amount of coal used, and the damper of the stove is sealed at night, which can ensure that it will not be extinguished overnight.
However, that is the way ordinary people use honeycomb coal, and as a powerful family, the Zhang family naturally does not need to do that.
Honeycomb coal is naturally fully open 24 hours a day.
The result of the full opening of the damper is that the hot water is inexhaustible, and the aunts of Zhang Junping in the back house, as well as their personal maids, can not only wash with hot water every day, but also take a hot bath every day.
After chatting a few more words and contacting the feelings, Zhang Junping's second aunt said goodbye and left.
……
"Lang Jun, the four major grain merchants are here!"
"Ask them to go to the side hall and wait!"
"Outside of the four employees, business is booming!"
"Huh! Thanks to Zhang Guanren's good idea! ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Thanks to Zhang Guanren's good idea! ”
"Making money is secondary, and now Zhang Guanren is the Buddha of the Wanjia family in Kaifeng Mansion! How many people are grateful to the stove invented by Zhang Guanren and praise each other! ”
"Haha, I just had an idea! These are all due to the careful management of the four employees! Zhang Junping laughed.
"I don't know what happened when Zhang Guanren summoned me to wait?"
"Oh! I'm going to Muping County in a few days, and before I leave, I'll talk to the four members about some things! ”
"Congratulations to Zhang Guanren for his promotion!" The four members glanced at each other, stood up and said hello to Zhang Junping.
In fact, they had already received the news that Zhang Junping was going to Muping County, the capital of Dengzhou, to be the magistrate.
They all have the support of the imperial court behind them, and they naturally know that Zhang Junping, the county of Zhengwupin, is different from ordinary counties, and it is the experience of Emperor Zhao Heng to the general manager, which is a real promotion and reuse.
At this time, Zhang Fu stepped forward and whispered a few words in Zhang Junping's ear.
The four members did not come empty-handed, and gave a lot of gifts.
The gift is really not easy, not to mention the four carts of brocade, just more than eight taels of ginseng have been given more than ten trees.
Seven taels are ginseng, and eight taels are treasures.
In this era, ginseng is not unusual, but more than eight taels of treasure ginseng is still hard to find, rare on the market, as long as it is encountered, it will be treasured by major families.
After all, ginseng can hang a life, and storing a few precious ginsengs at home is a life at a critical moment.
"A few outsiders are too polite!" Zhang Junping hugged his fists and thanked him.
"Zhang Guanren is polite, this is just a little bit of our mind!"
"Yes, yes, a little careful!"
"Thank you Zhang Guanren for your support to us!"
The four members hurriedly returned the salute.
After being polite, Zhang Junping sat down on the main seat.
"This time, I invited four employees to come over, mainly because I was going to Muping County to take office, and the business of Jingshi's side depended on the four employees to take care of it!
If you have anything, you can find Fauber! ”
"Although Zhang Guanren can rest assured, we can still handle such trivial things as work, and I dare not bother the housekeeper!"
"Yes! Zhang Guanren can rest assured, we will settle with Steward Fu every month in the future, and send your share to the mansion to ensure that the score is exactly right! ”
"Huh! I still believe in this from the four members!
This time, please invite the four members to come over, and there is one more thing, which is a matter of Muping County!
is the so-called official for the benefit of one party!
When I go to Muping County to be the magistrate of the county, I will inevitably seek benefits for the people of Muping County, and I will have to bother the four members to support me in the future! Zhang Junping chuckled.
The four members glanced at each other, and they all saw the worry in each other's eyes.
