Chapter 323: The First Coal Merchants

"Young master," Chen Zeming limped to the front of Liu Yiyi, bent over and saluted Liu Yiyi, his expression was very respectful.

"Well, you're here?" Liu Yiyi glanced up at Chen Mingze, then waved his hand to him: "Your legs and feet are not good, sit down and talk about it first." ”

Sitting by himself, but letting a disabled person stand beside him, Liu Yiyi felt very awkward, just like in the past, on the bus, not giving pregnant women and old people to give up their seats, there will always be a feeling of being stared at and condemned in his heart.

"No, no need, young master," Chen Ming hurriedly waved his hand and said: "In this hall, where is there a place for the villain to sit, the villain can't stand it, the villain stands and talks back." ”

"If you want to sit, you will sit! Where did all that nonsense come from? Liu Yiyi pretended to be unhappy and glanced at Chen Mingze, and said, "Your legs are fine now?" ”

"Young Master Lao is worried, as early as ten days ago, the villain's legs have been fine, he can walk and jump, it doesn't hurt or itch, I think it's already good, thank you young master for your love!" Chen Ming respectfully gave Liu Yiyi a salute, and then sat down on Liu Yiyi's head with a limp, but he didn't sit down, only half of his butt was next to the chair.

As Chen Mingze just said, the young and the old are orderly, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and it is a great honor for a subordinate like him to be given a seat by the owner.

"Well, it's okay, it just so happens that our Liufu is short of manpower now," Liu Yiyi nodded with a smile, looked at Chen Mingze and said: "In the morning, Steward Liu has already mentioned your matter to me, saying that during the period of your recuperation, you helped to take care of the affairs in the cow tent by the way, which is much stronger than the previous few subordinates who fed the cattle, hehe, it seems that I didn't look at the wrong person at the beginning, and you didn't disappoint me." ”

After a pause and a sip of tea, Liu Yiyi continued to say to Chen Mingze: "From this afternoon onwards, the affairs in the cow tent will be handed over to you, and nearly a hundred ploughing cattle from my Liu Mansion will be handed over to you." ”

"Thank you, owner! The villain will not disappoint the owner! The villain assures the owner that the people are there, and the cows will still be there! Being so trusted by the owner, Chen Ming excitedly sat up from the chair again, bent down and saluted Liu Yiyi to thank him.

After looking forward to it for decades, he Chen Ming finally had a chance to be out of the ground, and Chen Ming had an urge to jump up.

"Don't get excited, don't panic, you should learn how to make yourself more calm." Liu Yiyi glanced at Chen Mingze indifferently, and said to him: "This cow tent is just the beginning, when you can take care of it well, I have other things to do for you, I said, as long as you have the ability, Liu Mansion will give you enough space to play." There is a saying you have to remember: 'The stage is as big as the heart.' I'm looking forward to seeing what you do. ”

"Yes, young master, it's the villain who has lost his temper." Chen Ming blushed slightly, and said to their young master respectfully, he was a little carried away just now.

However, how big the heart is, how big the stage is, Liu Yiyi's words, as if there is magic, let Chen Ming listen, there is a feeling that his blood is about to boil, and when he looks at Liu Yiyi again, both eyes are shining.

"Do you have children?" Liu Yiyi asked softly, and it seemed a little abrupt compared to the topic just now.

"Well, yes, the villain has three children, two sons and a daughter, the eldest is ten years old, and the youngest is only three years old, and he has always been taken care of by the insider." Speaking of the child, Chen Mingze's face became soft, and he talked more: "They live outside Sanyuan County, and they came to see the villain a few days ago. ”

"Let's take them all in two days." Liu Yiyi took another sip of tea and said softly to Chen Mingze.

"What? Take it? But.."

"Tomorrow, the dustless butler will arrange a house for you near the cow tent in the manor, and you can bring all the family to live in." Liu Yiyi said to Chen Ming in a warm voice: "In this way, your children will not think about having a father all day long, and you don't have to worry about your family anymore, you can work hard for Liufu, well, and your case money, it will also be increased a little, as for how much to add, Steward Liu will tell you tomorrow." ”

Give it grace and lure it to benefit, Liu Yiyi wants to completely disturb Chen Mingze, collect his heart, raise his character, and let Chen Ming follow him sincerely, Liu Yiyi doesn't want the talent he has worked hard to cultivate, and he will run away with someone again halfway.

"Thank you, young master! The young master is gracious, the villain has nothing to repay, please let the young master worship the villain! Saying that, Chen Ming fell to his knees and kowtowed to Liu Yi three times: "In his lifetime, Chen Ming will definitely live up to Liufu and the young master, if there is a disobedience, let Ming not die well!" ”

Chen Ming is a smart person, listening to Chen Mingze's words, Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, knowing that this Chen Mingze had already seen his intention to woo him, and he was showing loyalty to himself.

Yanagichichi likes smart people, especially when this smart man is still his subordinate.

"Okay, you go down first," feeling that the conversation was almost over, Liu Yiyi waved Chen Mingze away, and sat there alone and drank tea. The tea boiled in the cauldron tasted insufficient, but it was better than boiled water, and with the tea bowl, Liu Yiyi missed the Pu'er and Tieguanyin he had drunk before.

"Husband," Zhang Chuchu walked lightly from the back room, sat down next to Liu Yiyi, and asked Liu Yiyi: "For this Chen Mingze, Fujun seems to value it very much, is it because of his legs?" ”

Zhang Chuchu knew that Chen Mingze's leg was broken by Hou Junji because of Liufu, which is why he asked this question.

"Yes and no." Liu Yiyi put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at his daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "Because of his crippled leg, I gave him a chance, because of his efforts, he was reused." Otherwise, he would rather pay for him every month than leave such an important thing as feeding and raising cattle to him. ”

Liu Yiyi believes that Chen Ming will be a good breeder, and that there will be more than just cattle, but also some other things.

"The concubine doesn't understand these things, and the husband thinks it's good." Zhang Chuchu poured some tea for Liu Yiyi with the pot, and said: "It's a matter of Apu, the husband has to think about it more, Apu is the apprentice of the husband, and he usually calls the concubine a master, we can't delay the future of Apu." ”

Putting down the teapot, Zhang Chuchu continued: "Ah Pu's age is similar to that of the second uncle, now is a good time to study and travel, increase his experience, we always let him stay at home to practice calligraphy and study, the concubine always feels that it is not good." ”

"Well, the lady is right," Liu Yiyi said with a smile: "Actually, I also have this intention in my heart, the calligraphy of Guan Apu the day before yesterday has begun to take shape, although it is a little worse than the kid in Erjo, but it is enough to deal with the imperial examination." So after two days, the husband planned to let him go out for some training. ”

"Ah Pu has been wandering outside when he was young, so forget about traveling," Liu Yiyi continued: "I want him to go with Nijo and go to Chang'an Tai Academy for a while, not to mention what he can learn, it's good to make a few more friends." ”

In Tai Academy, most of them are the sons and daughters of some dignitaries studying, and knowing a few more is always no harm to Liu Ertiao and Luo Bingwang.

"That's fine, Ah Hide it, and between you and your second uncle, it's good to have a care, so that your father-in-law and mother-in-law won't be so worried." Zhang Chuchu whispered: "However, then the Tai Academy, can Ah Pu get in?" ”

Tai Academy can be said to be the best institution in the entire Tang Dynasty, not that you can enter it if you say it, Zhang Chuchu is a little worried about Luo Bingwang.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, although the threshold of Tai Academy is high, but it is not completely impossible, just leave these things to your husband." Liu Yiyi chuckled and took this matter down, and said: "I'll go and talk to Ah Pu in a while, and then prepare some training subjects for him by the way, his calligraphy should still have a lot of room for improvement, if he can continue to practice, he can become a generation of calligraphers, it is not known." ”

"At this point, the concubine also believes it." Zhang Chuchu chuckled and said: "In terms of calligraphy, Apu is indeed very talented, and the font he writes has grown almost every day, and his husband has accepted a good apprentice." ”

"Hehe, calligraphy, it's just a small way, didn't the lady find out, in poetry, Apo has a more amazing talent." One of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, how could he be a wasted person? Liu Yiyi drank the tea proudly, Luo Bingwang's master, just listening to it, was very energetic.

"Young master," At this time, Liu Wuchen came from the front yard, bent over and saluted Liu Yiyi and Zhang Chuchu, and said, "Some merchants from several nearby counties and counties have come to pay their respects, and they are now waiting in the hall." ”

"Oh?" Liu Yiyi put the tea bowl on the table, looked up at Liu Wuchen and asked, "Do you know what his purpose is?" ”

"I heard that it was for coal," Liu Wuchen bent over and replied, "They want to order a batch of coal from our Liu's Coal Mill in Liufu to sell it." ”
