Chapter Eighty-Nine: Zhuangzi's Difficult Attack on the Masters (Chapter 4)
"You said why didn't you fall to your death under that mountain, and I would be relieved if I fell to death, other people's children know that you can't go to that place, so you can bear it, ride a cow and go there, and break your arm, it's okay, why don't you break your neck, so that I and your mother don't have to worry about it in the future."
The adult scolded the child who raised his arm to be treated by the healer who came from the master's house, and the child seemed to be frightened, motionless, with his eyes wide open, not crying like other children, and when the healer gave him a bone, he only frowned, and there was a trace on the left side of his little face.
"Zhang Qing, what are you doing? Your baby fell, don't you hurry up and think about it, and the scolding is not over? ”
Father Zhang really couldn't stand it anymore, and reprimanded with a calm face.
Usually, Father Zhang never cares about these things, but when he came out today, he was still so strict that he scared the people around him, and Zhang Qing was even more frightened, why did the master of the main family come today?
"Master, I didn't scold him, he was not bold, other children's cattle went to other places when they were herding, this loser child is good, he has to go to the place that was washed away by the water, how high is two feet, the cows that fell were all killed, he was fateful, and only broke one arm.
Don't talk about him well, he will dare to go to that place in the future, master, don't worry, the baby is my own, I must say hello, just now the people from the main family came, so I asked my daughter-in-law to cook bone broth, according to the recipe of the main family, that is, ....... is to boil bones. ”
Zhang Qing was afraid of the master of the main family, explained, talked and talked, when talking about the recipe for boiling bones, he saw that there were two people he didn't know standing next to the master, and immediately changed his words, and the remaining two things, cod liver and kelp, said that he would not tell anyone anything.
The people around us don't correct it, everyone thinks about the same thing in their hearts, what the master told us, why should outsiders know?
Father Zhang saw the inquiring expressions of Zhou Xihu's uncle and nephew, and said: "In fact, boiling bones directly, the human body can use too little, add some things, then use more, the dealers are cautious, don't want to tell others, nothing, add some cod liver and kelp or something, that is not only to use more of the things in the bones, but also to prevent and treat big neck disease." ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? "Zhou Qi didn't expect to be particular about drinking bone broth, the people on Zhangjia Zhuangzi are so hateful, there is such a good recipe but they don't say it.
"Of course, these things are added to those fried noodles for Xiaohu, which is more delicious, delicious and good for the body." Father Zhang continued.
"I see, no wonder I went back this time, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are better than before, Yongcheng, you keep the secret too tightly in this Zhuangzi, well, it's okay, I envy you." Zhou Qi understood as soon as he heard it, don't look at it, just add two more things, that is very useful.
"The cow died?" Father Zhang showed an expression of you know what's going on at Zhou Qi, and asked Zhang Qing again.
"Dead, fell to death in one fell swoop." Zhang Qing nodded and replied.
"If you die, take it back to the master's house, what about the housekeeper?" Father Zhang glanced at the crowd around him.
"Master, I'm here, I'll send someone to the government to report in a while, according to the new rules of the main family, Zhang Qing's child is not yet fifteen years old, and he is considered a minor, this time his arm is broken, and the main family will take out twenty catties of bones and other things to help the baby recover, and all the medicine money will be paid by the main family."
Steward Zhang also came, stood out from the crowd, and said to Zhang's father.
Father Zhang nodded, and looked at the child again, "Well, send two catties of fried noodles at home, let the child eat it, and get better early." ”
"Got it, sir." The butler agreed, indicating that he remembered.
"Brother Yongcheng, are you taking all the losses yourself?" Zhou Qi wondered, why did the owner take care of the cow that the farmer fell to death? There is also the money for the medicine, plus the bones and other things given, is it reasonable for this dealer to fall?
Things were arranged, the child was no big deal, Zhang's father's hanging heart was also put down, and he said with a smile to Zhou Qi: "Such a big baby, he knows little about things, he is only a few years old, it must be that no one else grazes cattle there, and the grass over there grows better, so he drove the cattle over."
If you want to complain, you can complain that the master's family didn't level that place earlier, knock the place that was washed away by the water, and make a gentle slope, how could the baby break his arm? I don't dare to kill a cow on weekdays, but now it's okay, there is beef to eat, Brother Miao Ran may not know that Xiaobao and Juan Juan like to eat beef the most.
Especially the tendon, with a special method to get out, bite in the mouth, not hard at all, soft and fragrant, the cowhide peeled off, in winter, give them two to make a small jacket, go back, this side is stable. ”
Zhang's father said that kind of understatement, so that Zhou Qi was deeply touched, not to blame the attitude of the seedling team when they first met themselves, the main family took care of everything, the only thing the Zhuang household needed to do was to obey the arrangement of the main family, I didn't expect that the Zhuangzi still had this kind of rules.
If you want to deal with the main family in this place, it is really difficult, if you want to buy a villager, it is no different from dreaming, engaged in sending to treatment, so far, a quarter of an hour, the main family is fully responsible, and also send bones to the baby, it is really easy to pass the river, and it is difficult to move the Zhangjia Zhuangzi.
The matter was settled, and the surrounding villagers began to disperse, and some people came to comfort Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing didn't say anything grateful, until everyone left, then hugged his son and said distressedly:
"Don't go blindly in the future, I heard that there will be a school this year, send you over then, study hard, and when you get older, you have to help the master's family do things, don't do things that don't live in the master's family, otherwise, let me know, I will strangle you, and you will not be your son."
"Dad, I know, it's a pity that the cow, Dad, when the bones are sent, let my mother eat it, my mother may give me a brother or sister again, so that they can grow strong."
The little baby touched the plaster on his arm, and said to his father, he used this thing for the first time, saying that it was made by the master's family, and it was better to get it to the broken place than to stand up directly.
Zhang Qing hugged his son in his arms, "Don't care if your brother or sister is born, when you are born, the main family will give you things, take care of them, and when you get to the school, don't go home if you can't learn." ”
"Dad, I know, I must study hard, learn to help the master's family do great things, and it will be better when I become an official, then I think who dares to find fault with the master's family?" The little baby said with a serious face.

Father Zhang took Zhou Qi over to see, and returned to the courtyard, looking at him, he was about to send Zhou Qi and the three of them away, Zhou Qi was in a hurry, and he was going to ask for some things, so he left, and it would be difficult to find an opportunity.
Therefore, he said to Zhang's father: "Brother Yongcheng, when it comes to the imperial examination, you can rest assured, you will definitely find a good person for you, I don't know which one Brother Yongcheng thinks can be?" ”
"I don't understand this, so please give me some advice." Zhang's father wanted to take the imperial examination, so as to shine on the lintel, and he didn't know everything about this kind of thing, so he had to ask others.
Brother Yongcheng laughed, how could he not know? If Brother Yongcheng really doesn't know, you can ask others, and then help Brother Wei ask who the current situation is. ”
Zhou Qi naturally didn't believe Zhang's father's words, and said in his heart that there are two masters in your family, can you not tell you about such a small thing?
Father Zhang looked at Zhou Qi and was stunned for more than a dozen breaths, and then said, "Since Brother Miao Ran asked, let me think of a way." ”
He didn't know what to do, Madame didn't tell him about this kind of thing, and there was an anxious look on his face, and at this moment, Erniu, who shouldn't have appeared here, suddenly entered the hall.
"Master, the little one has something important." Er Niu glanced at the three people in the hall and said to the master.
No matter how stupid Zhang's father is, he knows that Erniu's words can't be said to others, so he put down the tea bowl and glanced at Erniu.
Erniu was clever at this time, walked to the side of the master, whispered a few words, smiled at Zhou Qi and Zhou Xihu, and turned to leave.
Erniu has been gone for a while, and Zhang's father was still stunned, until someone came over to add tea, then he picked up the bowl and took a sip, and said to Zhou Qi: "Brother Miaoran, you should remember the things of the previous dynasty, you must not be with women, everything related to women, it is better to stay away, don't say that it is a princess, and other ministers should do the same, otherwise it is not a good sign." ”
"What Brother Yongcheng said is that he is ...... under one person." Zhou Qi is not stupid, as soon as he heard this, he connected the front and back, and knew what it meant, so he hurriedly asked.
"I don't know what Brother Miao Ran said, anyway, it's just such a sentence, whether you listen to it or not, it's not up to me."
There was no acknowledgment in Zhang's father's words, which was also some of the content of what Fang Cai Erniu said.
It feels a little unfathomable, but in fact, he doesn't even know what it is, so he just says it.
When Zhou Qi heard these words, he thought a lot, and summed up what Zhang's father said, and found that the person who was supposed to rely on him couldn't rely on it now, all because of the whispers of a subordinate.
Others can think that the master came over to say something, but what Zhou Qi thought was that the two masters didn't want to see themselves embarrassed, so they helped, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt afraid.
What a powerful person, he just asked here, and he can know what he is asking over there, and send someone to inform him in advance, no wonder that Cheng County Ling has always wanted to worship the people here, there is such a person behind his back, it really saves a lot of heart, but just such a sentence, only say who to keep away, not to say who to get close to.
This is not good, don't ask to understand, if something is not done well in the future, wouldn't it be in vain to work hard?
