Chapter 448: Entrustment
Entering the courtyard, Steward Zheng first asked the family to send the luggage to his own residence, as for Tan Xiaotian's box, due to the child's insistence, the family who was one step slower than others could only follow the two with a stupid man step by step, the three of them walked through the courtyard, I don't know how long they walked to a side yard, the yard is not big, but there are many houses built, lined up, and the layout of the student dormitory of Yangzhou Chess Academy is very similar, but the scale is smaller, and the drying racks in the yard are full of washed clothes, Mainly in light blue cotton robes, sometimes with some variegated trousers, a little old man in his fifties was sitting on a bamboo recliner in the yard shaking a pu fan in the shade under the tree to enjoy the coolness, heard someone come in and turned his head to look over, recognized that it was Steward Zheng who walked in the front, and hurriedly turned over and got off the chaise longue, threw away the pu fan in his hand and took two steps to greet him, "Second housekeeper, I haven't seen you for some days, what's the matter, it's a long trip again?" ”
"Hehe, yes, I went to Yangzhou on an errand and only came back today. How is Lao Yang, is he in good health? "Steward Zheng is very polite to this little old man, much better than the attitude towards the guards at the door.
"It's okay, it's okay, you're worried, except for a cloudy and rainy day and a little sore knees, nothing else. Decades of old problems, patience is over. Lao Yang replied with a smile.
"It's true, at your old age, back and leg pain is inevitable. This time I went to Yangzhou and bought some tiger bone gout cream from Kicitang and came back, I heard that it is very effective in treating low back and leg pain, and I will have someone send it to you later. Steward Zheng nodded and said.
"Ah, how does this make tiger bones an extremely valuable medicinal material, and the plaster made of tiger bones must be even more valuable, where can I afford to use it as a bad old man." Hearing this, Lao Yang hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Heh, the medicine is used when you buy it, and you don't need it when you put it away. The effect of the drug will also be lost slowly. Who are the two of us, if it weren't for your care when I first entered the Zheng family, I wouldn't be able to have today's scenery, don't be polite to me, a little tiger bone gout cream is nothing, your old health is better than anything else. Steward Zheng said with a smile.
"Hehe, then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you the second housekeeper first." Since he couldn't refuse, Lao Yang could only thank him a thousand times.
"Oh, yes. Lao Yang, this is Tan Xiaotian, the child I brought back from Yangzhou, every day, call people. After the gossip, it was time to talk about business, Steward Zheng pulled Tan Xiaotian to his side and introduced to Lao Yang.
"Hello Grandpa Yang." Tan Xiaotian bowed and shouted.
"Oh, good boy, I can't afford the word 'grandpa'. The children here generally call me Uncle Yang, and you call me that. Lao Yang hurriedly waved his hand and corrected with a smile - the big family is very particular about salutation, although he is the old man of the Zheng family, but in terms of identity, he is only a steward responsible for managing the daily life of the disciples of the Zheng family. The status is several levels worse than that of Steward Zheng, and if he is not related to him, he may cause some people's dissatisfaction if he is called 'grandpa'.
"Uncle Yang is good." Tan Xiaotian called again, and this time Lao Yang accepted it happily.
"Huh. Lao Yang, every day is the person the old lady wants to meet, you arrange a room for him to live in first. He is young, so it is better to find a housemate who can take care of people. I'll go see the old lady first, and I guess the test will be arranged in the next two days. You've been bothering a little bit more. "Steward Zheng is a busy man, and there are still a lot of things for him to do after he comes back, so he told Lao Yang before leaving.
"Second housekeeper, don't worry, just leave it to me every day." Lao Yang patted his chest and made a promise - don't say that this is the person the old lady of the Zheng family wants to meet, even if it is an ordinary child who is going to take the entrance test, for the sake of the tiger bone gout cream that Steward Zheng wants to give him, he has to take good care of it.
Steward Zheng told Tan Xiaotian a few more words, and then left the side courtyard, and Lao Yang sent Steward Zheng out of the hospital and came back, "Come with me." He said to Tan Xiaotian and the family holding the box, and walked back by himself after speaking, his legs and feet were not very convenient, he walked swayingly, and the speed was very slow, compared with the old lady with small feet, his hands behind his back, shaking his head, humming a small song that no one could hear clearly while walking, he seemed very leisurely, and seemed to be very satisfied with his current life.
Tan Xiaotian's calves are short, and it's nothing to follow Lao Yang, and it's the first time he's here to see what's new, so he doesn't feel bored, but the family Ding who is holding the box next to him is tall and big, and he can take two steps up to Lao Yang in one step, and he has to take small steps to move forward at a slower speed than Lao Yang, which is very awkward for a young man who is eighteen or nineteen years old, and is a fiery age.
"Hey, little guy, are you really the old lady who wants to see by name?" Gently touching Tan Xiaotian's shoulder with his elbow, the young man asked in a low voice.
"Oh, I don't know, but that's what Uncle Zheng said." Tan Xiaotian replied.
"Uncle Zheng? You say it's the second housekeeper? The young man was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously--The Zheng family is very large, there are more than 200 people up and down, even the master and the people, there are many people and many things, the one who manages the accounts, the one who buys, the one who manages the cleaning, and the one who manages the diet, naturally there is only one housekeeper, among which there are three people surnamed Zheng, although they are all housekeepers, but the power and status of the housekeeper and the housekeeper are very different, so he has to ask clearly.
"Uh, I just called him Uncle Zheng, I don't know what the second butler is not the second butler, hey, didn't you follow him all the time just now, why don't you know him?" Tan Xiaotian shook his head and asked strangely.
"Oh, then I understand, the Uncle Zheng you said is the second housekeeper. Oh, little guy, I'm very lucky, I haven't been admitted to the inner disciple yet, and I have already made friends with the second housekeeper. The young family said with a smile, with a little envy in his smile - everyone in the Zheng family knows that in a few years, after the retirement of the big housekeeper who has followed the old lady for decades, Zheng Xing is the best candidate to take over the position of the big housekeeper, and then the affairs of the Zheng family will be managed by him, except for the Zheng family, it is his greatest power, if he can climb this big tree, the days in the Zheng family in the future will not have to be windy, rain and rain, how moisturizing it must be, the young family's ambition is not big, As long as he can mix with an idle man with oil and water, like Lao Yang, who is responsible for managing the lives of the inner disciples of the Zheng family, he is not bitter or tired, he is leisurely, and from time to time he has the opportunity to accept bribes from the inner disciples (the management of the inner disciples is very strict, and if he wants to sneak out without being punished, he must let Lao Yang open his eyes and close his eyes), he is already satisfied.
