Chapter 256: Waiting for the Rice to Go to the Pot
Hearing Xiantu say that he had something to command, Zhang Yuanwai hurriedly walked in front of Xiantu, only to see him bending over 90 degrees, putting his hands in fists in front of his chest, bowing his head and bending over to listen, full of exploitation.
Xiantu saw Zhang Yuanwai's appearance, and when he spoke, he lost a trace of anger, that's right, Xiantu was too angry and angry, and Zhang Yuanwai's modest and respectful attitude at this time made him introspect.
"Adults, please speak, and small ones must do the same." The old man was still talking like that.
"Send someone to your granary at once to bring my father and brother here, I have something to arrange." Xiantu commanded, Xiantu at this time was not as angry as just now, and there was a more gentle tone in his speech.
"Granary? How can my father and brother be in my granary? Zhang Yuanwai asked puzzled.
Hearing Zhang Yuanwai's puzzled question, Steward Qian hurriedly stepped forward and said to Yuanwai: "Master, the little one brought them there, and he was originally going to sell them grain, but this son knew about the strange things that happened in our family recently, so he had to come to find out, and the little one saw that he was also kind, so he brought him to the master." β
"Ao, so that's the case, why don't you hurry up and invite the boss and brother over, why are you still stunned?" Zhang Yuanwai said eagerly.
"Yes, yes, the little one is going to invite you." Steward Qian said resignedly.
After speaking, he turned around and walked out quickly, Zhang Yuanwai didn't know what he thought, and hurriedly shouted at the money housekeeper: "Wait, wait, please go to the boss in person, so as not to make the boss unhappy." β
Xiantu was speechless. Didn't you just ask someone? As for being so grand? It's also hairy, and it's not about taking things, so why are you so exquisite.
watched the old man and the money steward disappear into the night. Xiantu also yawned a little sleepily, but seriously, it was really warm in this room, Xiantu thought, if he could, he would spend the night here tonight, so as not to go back to the cold, and now his stomach is still complaining. Also, I haven't eaten a full meal for a day, can my stomach not be sad?
Come to think of it. Xiantu looked around Zhang Gongzi's bedroom, he wanted to take a closer look at whether there was anything in this room that could be wrapped in his stomach, even if it was a bowl of hot tea, at least he wouldn't be so uncomfortable when he was hungry.
But I looked around and looked. The only thing found was the inconspicuous teapot on the table. There were also a few cups next to it, maybe no one had used them for a long time, and there was still a layer of dust on the cups, but when I picked up the teapot, I found that it was empty, and I couldn't even see a drop of water.
Some discouraged Xiantu sat on the chair and was stunned, only to hear the sound of frowning footsteps outside the door, presumably Zhang Yuanwai invited his father, Xiantu sat there and thought blankly.
"First picture. I heard my grandfather say that you asked us to come to arrange something, what is the matter? Father Xue asked hurriedly as soon as he entered the door.
"Hmm. It's not a big deal, but I'm afraid that you will wait for a long time, so I asked the staff to invite you to come over and warm up. Xiantu replied unhurriedly.
"I see, I thought something was wrong?" Father Xue put his heart at ease and said.
"Brother Xian, I don't know if Zhang Gongzi's matter has been done?" The more the samurai saw Xiantu sitting on the sidelines, he asked curiously.
Hearing the warrior ask this, Xiantu pointed to Zhang Gongzi who was lying on the bed and said, "Ah, isn't that Zhang Gongzi?" People are taking a nap, don't bother. β
"Nap? It's late at night, so how can you take a nap? The samurai asked, pointing to the dark sky.
"Even, I didn't notice that it was dark, we should go home for dinner, did you bring any food?"
"Take it, you see, a bucket full of food, Zhang Yuanwai said that he could take it again if it was not enough, and my father was afraid that it would be difficult to walk in the dark, so he didn't take more, but just took these home, and came to buy them after eating." Father Xue seemed to be very stupid and naΓ―ve to say.
Hearing Father Xue say this, Xiantu said to Zhang Yuanwai: "Then thank you grandfather, your great kindness, Xiantu will definitely be unforgettable, you can rest assured, I will definitely settle things for you at home." β
"Adults see the outside, see the outside, the small can help the adults, it can be regarded as a blessing for three lives, the adults are willing to help the small ones get rid of the demons, and the small ones don't know what to take to repay the adults, let me accept the small one." After Zhang Yuanwai finished speaking, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed.
Seeing this scene, Xiantu hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said politely to Zhang Yuanwai: "What are you doing outside, this will be tormented, and besides, we are all neighbors, and we should help each other." β
"Your Excellency is gracious."
"Dad, why don't you go back with Brother Wu first, the family is still waiting to get the rice to the pot!" Xiantu said to Father Xue.
"It's okay, kid, it's important that you hurry up and see Zhang Gongzi, let's eat early and later, it's nothing." Father Xue said in general terms.
"Yes, Brother Xian, you hurry up and see someone's son-in-law, let's go back after reading it, the road will be more difficult to walk when it gets dark for a while." The samurai said to Xiantu urgently.
"Now it's dark, you better listen to me and go home quickly, I will spend the night with his son-in-law in Zhang's mansion tonight, you should go back early to eat and rest." Xiantu was still urging Father Xue and them to go home.
"My lord, the little one has already ordered to go down, you can eat at the house in a while, and it's not too late to go home when you're full." Zhang Yuanwai said politely.
Hearing Zhang Yuanwai say this, Xiantu said a little embarrassedly: "This is not good, we have already disturbed the staff when we come to the house to buy food, how can we stay for dinner now, isn't it a bit excessive." β
"Eh, what do you say, you will treat my Zhang Mansion as your own home in the future, if you need anything, just ask, old man, I will definitely do my best for my lord, and serve the dogs and horses."
"The staff has talked about this, so I can't say anything, since the staff has prepared a meal, we will stay for dinner." Xiantu said very politely.
Hearing Xiantu say this, Zhang Yuanwai suddenly became happy, and instructed the housekeeper Qian: "Butler, you hurry up and urge the kitchen, and tell them to show their housekeeping skills, I am fortunate to invite adults to dinner tonight, our house is full of flowers!" β
"That's right, that's right, the lord is right, the adults can eat in our house, it is really a rare honor in our house for a hundred years, the little one will go to the kitchen, and tell the cooks to take out their own housekeeping skills, and wash the dust for the adults." After Steward Qian said politely, he turned around and walked out, and soon disappeared into the dark night. (To be continued......)
