Chapter 27 Clever Arrangement with Good Thoughts
Over there, Su Jinquan had already arranged for someone to clean up the scene and prepare refreshments, and many villagers from Tianjiazhuang also automatically helped, and the atmosphere at the scene began to slowly harmonize.
Zhou Ming walked up to the man who was setting up the tables and chairs, bowed down and said, "This eldest brother, next Zhou Ming, is from Zhoujia Village, Qiongya County, I don't know if I can sit with my eldest brother?" ”
The man heard someone call him, turned his head and saw that it was the young descendant who was standing next to Lin Taohua, put the stool and clenched his fists and said: "Brother is polite, under Yuan Jie, I don't know what Brother Zhou Ming is looking for me?" ”
Zhou Ming said with a smile: "I think the eldest brother is also a cheerful person, so I won't say anything to the eldest brother." In this case, Tianjiazhuang has been hit by a disaster, and I am afraid that you will not be able to solve the food problem before the beginning of spring next year, even if you beg for some food, it is not a good way out. It just so happens that my family is going to build a manor and needs to hire some people to do the work, I wonder if my eldest brother should consider it? ”
When Yuan Jie heard this, he was overjoyed. He saw that Zhou Ming's face was gentle and polite, not like a traitorous person, if he could really go to his house to do work, not to mention anything else, at least he could eat well, but he didn't know how long it would take to build it, and whether it would help him survive the coming winter.
"I don't know how big a garden my brother wants to build, and how long will it take?"
Zhou Ming understood and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, don't worry, my garden is very big, it can be built for a long time, and my family will eat and live during the work, as long as you don't steal and cheat, each person will have 30 copper coins per day." Hehe, take a step back and say, even if the garden is built, my family does business all year round, and my eldest brother helps us do something, and it is not a problem to support the family. ”
"Xianggong." Yuan Jie's lady heard their conversation not far away and called Yuan Jie softly.
Yuan Jie saw that his wife seemed to have something to tell him, so he said to Zhou Ming: "Brother Zhou, wait a minute, I'll take a look." ”
"Brother Yuan, please."
Yuan Jie's wife's surname is Hu, and her maiden name is Yiren, who was originally the concubine of Hu Ji Commercial House in Shuixi County, but she was taken away by robbers when she went out to incense and lost her chastity, and was rescued by Yuan Jie when she threw herself into the water to find her dead, and was later moved by Yuan Jie to marry him, and the owner of Hu Ji Commercial House swept her out of the house in a rage.
She heard that Zhou Ming's family needed to hire someone to build a garden, so she said to Yuan Jie: "Xianggong, I think the son and wife of the Zhou family are good-hearted people, why don't you ask him, can you hire all the villagers who came out together, it doesn't matter if the salary is less, just give a place to live and be able to eat enough to spend the winter." ”
Yuan Jie nodded, and said with pity: "I know, don't be busy if you are weak, the weather has not become cold, your hands are so cold, how can it be good in winter?" ”
Hu Yiren: "Don't worry, let's go." ”
Yuan Jie walked over and told Zhou Ming what Hu Yiren had just said.
Zhou Ming naturally agreed, and said with a smile: "Hehe, naturally you can." Brother Yuan rest assured, they are all villagers, we will always help those who can help, and we will pay the salary, you and the villagers said, if you are willing to go, wait at the city gate tomorrow, and then go back to Zhoujia Village with us. ”
"Okay, Brother Zhou, thank you for your great kindness, please feel free to speak if you have my Yuan Jie in the future." With an eyebrow for his livelihood, the big stone in Yuan Jie's heart fell to the ground, and he was very grateful to Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming smiled slightly: "Brother Yuan is polite, Boss Su has put all the snacks on the table, you beckon everyone to eat quickly." Hehe, I haven't eaten for a few days, but I have to tell them not to eat too much. ”
"Hehe, I see." Yuan Jie laughed and sent Zhou Ming away.
Lin Taohua watched Zhou Ming walk into the private room with a smile, knowing that the matter was settled. After Zhou Ming sat down, he scooped a spoonful of crystal shrimp to him, and said with a smile: "Xianggong has worked hard." ”
Zhou Ming shook her hand, put the shrimp in his mouth, approached Lin Taohua and whispered, "Thank you for your pity." ”
Lin Taohua looked at Zhou Ming's handsome face close at hand, and then looked at the lip flap that was soaked in soup, and suddenly her face became hot. Lin Taohua was slightly embarrassed, she found that Zhou Ming was not an old-fashioned person when she looked at self-denial, otherwise how could she have a feeling of being molested from time to time? It is obvious that this guy did it on purpose, but his face is decent, but it seems that her Lin Taohua's thoughts are not pure.
"Huh." Zhou Ming saw that her head was lowered, her face was full of red glow, she smiled softly, took a piece of fish, removed all the fish bones and put it into her bowl, and said gently: "The lady also eats." ”
"Hmm." Lin Taohua's face was dyed with rouge, and his head was even lowered. She secretly complained in her heart, how can she be so sensitive to Zhou Ming's soft words and gentle care now, her face is so hot, she must be red, how can she see people like this, it's so ashamed.
Many people at the banquet were talking to each other, and they didn't pay special attention to Lin Taohua and Zhou Ming, but Zhou Hui didn't want to say a word to Lin Taohua, but she was embarrassed by their ambiguous appearance, and quickly turned her head to eat vegetables.
"Eat more." At this time, Zhou Wu, who had always been taciturn, suddenly sandwiched a cabbage for her.
Zhou Hui looked at him with some astonishment.
"Hmph." Not far away, Zhou Wang snorted coldly.
Zhou Hui's heart trembled, and he hurriedly put the dish back into Zhou Wu's bowl, and whispered, "No need, you can eat it quickly." ”
Zhou Wu pinched his chopsticks and stared at the cabbage in the bowl without saying a word.
"Well, do you have to do that?" Zhou Yuan naturally saw it, looked at Zhou Wu, and whispered to Zhou Wang's family.
Zhou Wangshi glanced at him, lowered his throat and said, "I'll just cough, what's the matter, this can't work?" ”
Zhou Yuan helplessly scooped a spoonful of shrimp to her, and said softly: "Okay, eat some shrimp to moisturize." ”
Although the Zhou Wang clan was still unhappy, they didn't care about their juniors' affairs anymore.
"Mother, can I go outside to find Brother Shi'an?" Fei'er asked Zhou Hui softly.
Zhou Hui thought about it and agreed, and took a small bowl with some small pastries for her to take away.
"Lady, how do you arrange tomorrow's trip? I have already informed Brother Yuan to wait at the gate of the city at the moment. Zhou Ming saw Fei'er running out on her little short legs, and asked Lin Taohua softly.
Lin Taohua thought for a while and said: "Let's go to Li Changfeng tomorrow morning to have a look, after all, the matter promised to Zhang Biao can't be delayed, and the people from Tianjiazhuang will let the eldest brother and the second brother rent some ox carts and bring them back first." ”
Zhou Ming naturally had no opinion, and said softly: "There are many people brought back this time, I asked my eldest brother to rent some idle houses in the village for them to live in first, and when building a house, build it next to the maid's yard, and then build the main courtyard." ”
Lin Taohua nodded, "There are also rice, grain, bowls and chopsticks to be purchased, tomorrow the people will gather and let the eldest brother take them to the ready-to-wear store to buy clothes for each person, and then pull some cloth, we can't let them go home with us in tattered clothes." ”
Zhou Ming smiled: "Okay." ”
"Little lady, Yue has something to tell you, can you talk about it in detail?" Yue Yang, who was whispering to Xiahou Yue over there, suddenly said to Lin Taohua.
Yue Yang visited Taoyuan that day, and before he could say anything, Lin Taohua was taken away, and now that the trouble is solved, Yue Yang naturally found her.
Lin Taohua walked to the side with him very happily.
"This time, the Yue Pavilion Master has helped the slave family a lot, just say something." Lin Taohua Road.
Yue Yang: "The little lady doesn't have to be polite, I don't have anything serious, I just want to ask the little lady to help me teach a dancing girl." ”
Lin Taohua was stunned for a moment, then thought of the dancer that day, and said with a smile: "It seems that the title of dancer fell into Yihuang Pavilion last time?" ”
Yue Yang nodded, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect the little lady to be so powerful, now people come to Yihuang Pavilion every day to chase after me, and I can only bother the little lady." ”
"Huh." Lin Taohua pursed her lips and smiled: "It's a trivial matter, but I don't want to have anything to do with me yet, so I bother the pavilion master to send that girl to my house early every day." ”
"Hehe, so Yue Mou will thank the little lady first, and I will send someone over tomorrow."
"Lord Yue is polite."
Yue Yang saw that everything was settled, bowed down and said, "Yue still has some things, so he will leave first." ”
"Oh, okay, I'll send you." Lin Taohua didn't force him to stay, watching him greet everyone present, and personally sent him out. Walking to the gate, she suddenly said, "What the slave family said at the table, the pavilion master may wish to consider it." ”
Yue Yang saw that she was so obsessed with bodyguards, and said helplessly: "Little lady, I only do business in Qinglou, I really don't have the bodyguards you said." ”
"Hmph, I thought I was friends with you, but I didn't expect the pavilion master to be so stingy and walk slowly." Lin Taohua was very dissatisfied with Yue Yang's attitude of clearly not wanting to help, and stamped his feet away.
"Heh, it's really difficult for villains and women to raise." Yue Yang stood in the lobby of the Champion Building and shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"People have people to raise them, but they don't need their masters to raise them." A female voice suddenly came from the empty lobby, and then a black shadow disappeared into the champion building in a flash.
Yue Yang chuckled: "This girl is getting more and more presumptuous." ”
The voice fell, and there was still Yue Yang's figure in the same place.
