Chapter 231: The agency is too clever

Zhang Lilao's two daughters have married off and now live with their children and grandchildren. There are four brick houses in the north room, four wooden houses in the east and west rooms, a total of 12 rooms, and it is a solid family in Gaoshantun.

However, for the first time in his life, a genuine official came to his home, and he was still covered with sweat after being busy, and it was easy to pick out a few clean clothes, and he was still a little hesitant when he picked them up. It wasn't until Zhang Yue smiled and thanked him, and after going to the back room to change and handing him the wet clothes, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he has some money to spare at home, he wears silk cloth at most on weekdays, and this silk has only been seen a few times when he entered the city, and at this time it is delicate, soft and smooth in his hands, and he can't help but take a few more looks.

Seeing his granddaughter Xi'er holding a wooden square plate and bringing in a bowl of ginger soup, he hurriedly picked up a bowl and handed it to Zhang Yue, and said in his mouth: "Xiaomin specially ordered to put brown sugar in it, you just got drenched in such a rain, hurry up and drink a bowl of hot water, keep it to ward off the cold." Seeing that Zhang Yue took the coarse porcelain bowl and drank it in a big gulp, he rubbed his hands together and smiled, "There is such a thing today, Xiaomin really has no face to be this old man, ...... adults."

"This is in your house, not above the public court, don't be a small people." Zhang Yue's bowl of hot ginger soup at the moment only felt warm in his stomach, and the sullenness that he was inexplicably attacked earlier gradually disappeared, "Since I said in front of people that I am not to blame for the past, naturally there is no reason to settle accounts afterwards." It's just that no matter which of your villages has such a reckless guy, it will inevitably bring disaster, and you, as an elder, can check and teach a lesson in private. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

It was the first time that Xi'er saw the majestic grandfather nodding like this in front of people, and her eyes couldn't help but roll on Zhang Yue's face. Of course, she knew what the title of adult meant, but in her imagination, the official had to be a white-haired old man who was older than her grandfather. How can he be such a teenager who seems to be about the same age as himself?

Seeing Zhang Yue talking to her grandfather lightly, but not looking at herself, she couldn't help but feel a little angry. Those young men in the village can't turn their necks as long as they see her, is this guy a wooden man?

When the grandfather handed over the wet clothes, she took a closer look, only to find that the material was finer than her sister-in-law's best clothes, and even a bright silver thread could be seen in the middle of the belt. More envy and yearning.

"Third uncle, we sent Master Liu here!"

As soon as he heard the voice outside, Zhang Yue stood up, Zhang Li hurriedly took a few steps to open the curtain, let Zhang Yue go out first, and then followed out. Xi'er didn't know why the young official wanted to see that Master Liu, so he sent clothes to his grandmother, but he received an errand to go out to buy wine. She wanted to stay here and see the venerable little lord more. But he had to take the money sullenly.

There was only one family in the village that sold homemade rice wine, and she trotted there to pay for a large gourd of wine, and then hurried back with the gourd. When she saw her home from afar, she suddenly heard someone calling behind her, and she was stunned when she turned around. hurriedly shouted: "Brother Yue! ”

The visitor nodded to her with a smile, and asked again, "Sister Xi'er, are you going to buy wine?" Do you have any guests at home? ”

"Not a guest, it's an adult!" Xi'er simply hugged the heavy wine gourd with her other hand, and complained angrily. "It's the first time I've seen my grandfather so respectful to people, and that look is even more respectful than my father! By the way, Brother Yue is here to find my eldest brother? I heard that he was going to fight with his grandfather today, but he was caught by the adult, and it was raining at this time, and he was probably busy working in the fields! ”

Yue Changtian looked in the direction of the Zhang family's courtyard, but shook his head with a smile: "I'm not looking for your eldest brother." I understand when you say that, it turned out to be that Xiao Zhang. In other words, he is an important person. Of course, your grandfather has to be respectful. His family is rich and wealthy, don't you like the hairpin that your eldest brother bought for your sister-in-law? is the girl next to him, and there are at least ten or eight hairpins of this kind, and they are not the same. People have to have several people to serve a meal, and there are more than a dozen bowls, which is naturally not something that your Zhuang family can imagine. ”

Eight out of ten are not the same! Xi'er is the heart of a girl who loves beauty, and what she envies the most is that her sister-in-law will wear the silver head face on the ground during the New Year's holidays, as well as the rouge gouache bought in the city. I thought it was a first-class goodie. Now this big brother Yue actually said that other people's girls are so decent. Her face suddenly couldn't hide the envy.

"No wonder, I see his style. Listening to him is different from us......"

"Of course, there is an uncle in front of the prince...... Yue Changtian sneered, seeing Xi'er looking at him blankly, he knew that it was useless to say these things to a country girl who didn't understand the official rank of the imperial court, so he smiled and said, "The family that your grandfather found for you is also considered to be the top in Gaoshantun, but it is still a Zhuang family, and there are still Xiucai who have read books, and he has been lifted to the ground, but I don't know how many layers it takes to be able to reach the point of others." In short, people are more popular than dead people, and you will have to serve him well after a while, and when someone plucks a hair thicker than your leg, you may be able to add some dowry. ”

Xi'er was moved by Yue Changtian's words, because she thought that the other party was a friend of her eldest brother, she was even more wary in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask again. Listening to Yue Changtian say what Zhang Yue had done since he took office, she was very longing in her heart, but another thought vaguely popped up.

Not to mention the family business that grandpa is looking for, who among the other young men in the village who is as big as that person can match that kind of bearing? Look at him sitting there, everyone else can only smile and nod, how beautiful would it be if he could have such a husband? Immersed in infinite fantasy, she thanked Yue Changtian in a trance, and walked in the direction of her house, not knowing that the eldest brother Yue she trusted deeply was looking at her back with a sneer.

"In the end, she is a country girl who is greedy for vanity, and when she hears the word wealth, she falls into it!"

Reflexively bypassing a few houses, Yue Changtian met up with a few men who had been waiting there for a long time, whispered a few words and walked out of the village. After a cup of tea, everyone came to a forest behind Gaoshantun, but from there they led out a few horses. Turning over and shaking the reins, he instructed the others: "You go to Binhong and Zhao Wan to report to them." Let's just say that everything they want me to do has been done, and the sect leader will not care what they have to do in the future, and then it's up to them to do their own thing! ”

Zhang Yue, who was talking to Master Liu in Zhangjiatang's house, was surprised and happy at this moment. Originally, he was just curious, but after some conversation, the other party opened his mouth and said a lot of reasons for building aqueducts and dams, and the carpenter's skill was not to make furniture but to make farm tools. Zhang Lilao, who was praising on the side, simply went to take out a few of the tools that Master Liu used to make farming, and he was even more satisfied with it. Who would have thought that this time they would be able to pick up a treasure?

Animal husbandry in the Ming Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, instead of relying on the ploughing of oxen, he should count on the mutual cooperation between farmers, but if he can improve the existing farming tools, the farming efficiency will be greatly improved, and the output will not also be increased.

"Grandpa, the rice wine has been bought!"

"What are you yelling about, didn't you see that the adults were talking to Master Liu?"

Zhang Li saw that Zhang Yue seemed to value Master Liu very much, and he was extremely happy in his heart. After all, people are recommended by him, and if there is any appointment, he can also take him. Seeing his granddaughter coming in with a wine gourd, he couldn't help but scold a few words with a straight face, and smiled at Zhang Yue again: "My lord, it's noon." The Zhuang family didn't have any good food, but Xi'er picked some fresh wild vegetables in the morning, and two hares were sent by the next generation, why don't you keep them and eat with Master Liu? ”

I wanted to say that it was not troublesome. But Zhang Li was diligent in keeping guests, and Zhang Yue looked at Master Liu as if he still had something to say, so he simply agreed. Compared with the dinner at Lao Yangtou's house that time, the dishes of the Zhang family today can be regarded as carefully cooked, and there is no shortage of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Xi'er personally stood by and served, with a small and attentive smile on her face. As a result, Master Liu was in good spirits on happy occasions, and she couldn't help but praise her for being sensible, and even Zhang Yue took a few more looks.

Zhang Lilao also boasted that he had found a good family for his granddaughter, how honest and capable the future grandson-in-law was, and how solid the family was, but he didn't realize that Xi'er on the side had a straight face. And Zhang Yue was drinking and eating at the same time, because Master Liu promised to go to Qingzhou with him, while he was happy. He immediately ordered Lian Sheng to take out a pair of silver bills from the money bag. smiled and said that he would wrap Xi'er. Zhang Li Lao was overjoyed when he saw that this pair of silver bills was at least two or two. Hurriedly ordered Xi'er to step forward and kowtow. None of the others saw it, and Xi'er, who was holding the pair of silver bills, had a changed face, and then quietly withdrew.

The rice wine was sweet, but the stamina was not small, Zhang Lilao and Master Liu drank four bowls in one go, all drunk, and although Zhang Yue was a little restrained, he was still inevitably poured two bowls by the two, and he couldn't help but want to take a nap after eating.

Hu Qi is used to following Zhang Yue these days, and he doesn't know how many villagers he has eaten in. Before today's meal, he told his three brothers to keep watch and protect, and he wandered around the village—after all, the first attack must not be taken lightly. This farmer has mixed in with a fanning place, how can he not ask well?

After Zhang Yue got drunk, Lu Bawei, Jiuqin, and Shi knew that it was impossible to ride back on horseback at this time, so he ordered Lian Sheng Lianhu to help Zhang Yue into the east house kang to rest. Seeing that Xi'er, who was quite a little good-looking, looked at the door for a while before running away, the three of them couldn't help but glance at each other, and laughed at the same time.

Who of the girls in the master's room is not like flowers and jade, plus the two daughters of the Du family and the Meng family, can they still look at others? So, Lian Sheng two guarded inside, Lu Basan sat outside, and after a while, Xi'er sent walnut pine nuts to make tea, and several people had a dry mouth after eating, so they took them one by one.

Half an hour later, Xi'er crept to this room, and when she saw the three big men sleeping soundly, she suddenly showed joy and hurriedly flashed into the back room. Sure enough, the two attendants had already fallen asleep sitting on the pestle, and Zhang Yue on the kang even snored evenly. Thinking of the wealthy atmosphere that Yue Changtian said, she went straight forward and sat down on the edge of the kang, stretched out her hand but retracted it, but she looked at Zhang more and more in a daze, and gradually gave birth to countless thoughts.

In the play, the rescue of the young lady in distress has a good ending, and the people's girls save the son as if they are all meeting a negative man! If this adult wakes up and turns his face and doesn't recognize anyone, how can he be born at that time?

After thinking about it, she suddenly regretted it, and stood up as soon as she gritted her teeth. When she got to the front, she found that her grandmother had also fallen asleep under the stove, and she panicked. She bought this medicine from Mrs. Chen before, in order to deal with the wooden husband after marriage. This time, I drugged all the food and tea, and even the family was put down, what should I do now?
