Chapter 26: The Legend of the Handmaiden (2)
"Master, you can't ask for this money bamboo, it's too much!" Early in the morning, Zhu'er handed Jiaozi to Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi had just drunk white fungus lotus seed porridge, and was sighing that his skills were much worse than those of Zhu'er, "Zhu'er? Why didn't you go buy flower cloth? Alas, today's porridge is really unpalatable, and I thought that girls in this era are all masters of porridge, who knows that I am lucky? Wu Zhi looked at him left and right.
"After that, Zhu'er boiled it for you every day." Bamboo's little face bloomed like a flower.
"Well, Zhu'er still knows that he is worried about the master, and it is not in vain that the master hurts you, ah! It's time, and I'm going to go to the martial arts arena today. Wu Zhi said in a fuss, and hurriedly wanted to go out.
Zhu'er was stunned for a moment, the master is very abnormal today, how can the old man who is always so calm on weekdays babble. After Wu Zhi escaped and went out, Zhu'er suddenly understood, looked at the Jiaozi in his hand, and stomped his feet slightly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a shallow arc.
"Sir! Zhu'er really can't ask for this money, Zhu'er is satisfied when she knows the master's pity! ”
Just after eating at noon, Zhu'er handed Jiaozi to Wu Zhi, who was squinting and sipping fragrant tea. Wu Zhi lost her temper, so she had to start reasoning.
"Why can't you ask for it? This is rouge money, and it wasn't given to you for free? ”
"But how can there be so much rouge money?"
"The master decided it himself, can't it?"
"Is the rouge money of the other sisters in the Zhuangzi also this amount?"
"This ...... You are specially approved by the master, and when the porridge you boil is very much in line with the master's wishes, you will be specially rewarded. ”
"My lord used to say that there are no rules, and there is no circle. The old man is breaking the rules of the Zhuangzi by doing this. The old man did something for Zhu'er that damaged the reputation of the master, how could he be embarrassed by Zhu'er's love? ”
"When did you become so sharp-toothed, little girl? Hmph, let's do it, you will be the master's personal maid in the future, naturally different from others, this is not a bad rule, right? ”
"Huh?" When Zhu'er heard Wu Zhi call herself to be his personal maid, she couldn't help but scream, her face immediately turned red, and her heart beat hard! An irrepressible joy also came out. When I looked up, I saw Wu Zhi looking at him leisurely, as if he was proud of convincing himself, but there was nothing else unusual. Zhu'er couldn't help but be disappointed for a while, and then remembered that the old man seemed to understand the old rules, and I am afraid that he didn't know the true meaning of the personal maid.
"What's wrong? Now you can feel at ease with this money, right? Wu Zhi looked at Zhu'er for a while, thought he had a plan, and said complacently.
Zhu'er bit her lip, whether the master intended it or not, what did he have to hesitate about, it was too embarrassing!
"En......" Zhu'er responded like a mosquito, his face was even hotter, and he turned around and ran away.
Wu Zhi was stunned for a while, this little girl is really strange! Shaking his head and smiling, he ignored it.
"Lady-in-Waiting??!!" Chunhua and Da Niu couldn't believe their ears when they heard Zhu'er's words, and they both looked at her with wide eyes.
Zhu'er nodded shyly, but her heart was beautiful, even if she was wishful thinking, what was wrong? At least there is hope.
The big cow scratched his head, not knowing what to say, to say that this personal maid, the status is far inferior to that of the wife and concubine, to say something unpleasant, if the master's family goes one day, this personal maid's family property will not be shared. Naturally, I don't want my sister to follow someone like this. But looking at his sister's shy and happy appearance, he seems to be very happy, the owner of the village is heroic again, and he seems to love his sister very much, and being his personal maid does not necessarily insult his sister. Da Niu only sighed in his heart, this is fate, and he can only pray that the master will be better to Zhu'er in the future.
Chunhua ran to Zhu'er's side and whispered something in her ear, and Zhu'er's face turned even redder and she took a sip. Chunhua giggled: "Don't tease you little girl, let's go, let's go buy flower cloth with my sister!" Now you have to sit in a sedan chair, you have to ride a horse, my sister touches your light, and I will also go to charge everyone's miss! said that he would pick up the bamboo and leave, and shouted: "I have to humiliate that snob today!" ”
As the days passed, Wu Zhi's heart gradually became anxious, and he wanted to go back to see Jin Lian as soon as possible, and spend the first New Year with Jin Lian after he came to this world, who knew that things have become more and more complicated recently. First of all, according to the rules, the owner of the village should have fun with the tenants in the Zhuangzi during the New Year, and Wu Zhi has just taken over the Zhuangzi, so he should not go for the first New Year. The second is to invite Liu Dagu to touch the nail, people said that it is okay to come to Wujiazhuang, but you can't help but Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, even if the Wujia doesn't do how much money you pay. Wu Zhiben also knew that things would not go so smoothly, so he had to prepare to take time to meet this Liu Dagu one day. The third is the equipment of the township army, these days Wu Zhi also knows about the other two villages privately divided the military supplies issued by the imperial court, and seeing that it is about to be distributed after the year, he must think of the military supplies that should be in hand to get it. Besides, listening to what Steward Liu said, there is a "Sanzhuang Conference" on the day of distributing military supplies, and he must be there.
Wu Zhi had no choice but to write a few letters, send someone back to Yanggu, and say that he would naturally go home after the New Year, and it is estimated that the palace of the prince in the capital should also be completed at that time, and he can go home directly to pick up Jin Lian and go to the capital to have a good time. The other two letters were sent to the capital by Hu Dehai, one was from the eldest sister, explaining the reason why she could not go back earlier, and asking the eldest sister to forward the other letter to the saint. Wu Zhi did not hide it from Zhao Ji's letter, saying that he had set up a Zhuangzi at the border, and he had just taken over the busy affairs and could only return to the capital after the year. Sooner or later, Zhao Ji will know about this kind of thing, so it is better to tell him himself.
There has been a lot of laughter and laughter in the Zhuangzi recently, some of the loose-handedness people have bought rice paper and started to paste lanterns, and some tenants have gone to Zhending Mansion in groups to buy New Year's supplies, in fact, they are buying a few feet of new cloth to make new clothes for their children, or buying catties of pork and wrapping some pork dumplings during the New Year. Next year, the owner will reduce the interest rate, and when will some spare money be used if it is not used for the New Year?
The jubilant tenants greeted Wu Zhi respectfully, looking at the satisfied expressions of these simple people, and their eyes were full of respect and trust. Wu Zhi was inexplicably a little sad. I secretly told myself in my heart that I must develop Wujiazhuang into the richest and happiest Zhuangzi.
It seems that we need to find a way to bring everyone rich? Wu Zhi thought as he walked, but this is located on the border, and the transportation is inconvenient, so how to get rich is really a problem!
