Chapter 204: Embattled Singing
For the Zhang family, the Wu family really can't love it. Looking at Zhang with a calm face today, she was also angry.
"Just in time!" Wu said angrily: "This Erlang has been back for a while, and he should go back to accompany you." It just so happens that you are here, but I will save someone to inform you! ”。
Wu's words were no less than a slap in the face, and Zhang's words that were full of words were held back by her.
"It's hard to think about it!" Zhang snorted coldly, "I just want to tell you something!" This woman, she still needs some measurements. Otherwise, when the bamboo basket draws water, it will be empty, don't say that my wife didn't remind me in advance. ”。
Wu was angry and sneered: "My daughter is praised by the emperor and praised by the world. Except for you, no one dares to say what's wrong with her! It's you, you should persuade your precious son, don't drag anything fragrant and smelly to the house. Are all the women of the Great Qi Kingdom dead? Want to find a Northern Desert person? Hehe, it's really an eye-opener. ”。
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang said angrily: "My son is not that kind of person. ”。
"If that's the case, thank goodness!" Wu laughed strangely, "You take her to the East Courtyard, and if you want anything, go to the steward yourself." ”。 She said to the big girl on the side.
"Yes! Madam! ”。
When they arrived at the East Courtyard, Zhang and Han Xiuqi fell for a while. Han Xiuqi said gloomily: "Madam is right, I have indeed been bothering for a long time. Mother, I'll go back with you. It's just that I want to trouble my sister-in-law and help settle these people of Namusi. ”。
Zhang said unhappily: "What to place? It would be nice to let them stay in a hotel. ”。
Han Xiuqi's face darkened, "Then what's going on?" They are all my friends, how can they stay in the guest house? If that's the case, then I'm not going back! ”。
Zhang had no choice but to agree.
When they told Namus that they would go back to their own house, they were very happy. Lu Mansion is really good, treat them well, eat and live in the first class, and change new clothes inside and out. Lu Yishuang also sent them two hundred taels of silver and asked them to go to the street by themselves.
Afraid that they would be cheated by the people in the capital, they deliberately found a shrewd and capable steward to follow, and they must take care of these guests.
At first, they were happy, but after a long time, they felt depressed. No matter how big Lu Fu is, it can't be bigger than the grassland. It's been a long time since they've ridden a horse, and they don't feel at ease.
Han Xiuqi is a military general, so there may be a place for horseback riding in the house.
As for the fact that he is an enemy of the Northern Desert, several people from Namusi don't mind. The war and peace with Daqi are all things that the nobles and lords worry about. Even if they hit the grass valley, they are too far away, and they don't have their share.
The group of people came to the Han Mansion in a hurry, and everything in front of them couldn't help but disappoint them.
Although the Han Mansion can also be used, after seeing the Lu Mansion, the Han family is even smaller.
"Ah Cheng, your family is not as big as the county lord's family!" Muto said with a grin.
Xiao Wu said with a smile on the side: "Our young grandmother's family is a three-grade waiter, so naturally we have to be more generous." However, the old lady in our house is also very good. A few people just stay, don't be polite. If there's anything, just tell me and Xiaoliu. ”。
These people saved his young master, and he and Xiao Wu were very grateful.
However, it would be bad to say that Master Han and the Zhang family would be very good to them.
Master Han is a person from the Ministry of Rites, and he values this difference between Chinese people the most. Such a large group of Northern Desert barbarians squeezed into his house, and he really avoided it.
He couldn't help complaining to his old wife, "The good ones are in the Lu family, what are you bringing back for?" What a mess! ”。
Zhang also said angrily: "You think I am willing!" It's not that good mother-in-law who forced people to stuff it into me. So many people eat horses, you think you don't need money! If it weren't for the fact that these people were also Qi'er's lifesavers, you would think I wanted to take care of them! ”。
Both of them felt uncomfortable. On the first night they came, Mr. and Mrs. Han did not appear, only Han Xiuyuan, who was embarrassed to accompany the guests.
But he is a literati, and in the face of a group of rough men, he doesn't know what to say.
After sitting for a while, he toasted three rounds of wine, and then pretended to be overwhelmed and withdrew.
Here, there is only one master left in Han Xiuqi.
Even though Namusi and the others didn't mind too much, when comparing the attitude of the people in the Lu family, they also knew that the Han family did not welcome them over as much as they thought.
After a meal of wine, it becomes dull.
Although Han Xiuqi tried his best to enliven the atmosphere, it had no effect. And after they had drunk two jars of wine, they dispersed, and went back to their houses without mentioning it.
The Han family is not as generous as the Lu family, and they did not give money to meet. Zhang reluctantly took out dozens of taels of silver and handed it to Liu to cut clothes for these guests.
Liu looked at the tribute silk on their bodies, and his heart was worried.
If you want to cut clothes with the same texture as the Lu family, I am afraid that only two pieces will be used up.
After thinking about it, there was no way, so I went back to the house and took a hundred taels of my own private money, and then handed it over to the girl to buy.
Han Xiuyuan sighed: "Lady, I'm really embarrassed for you!" ”。
Liu Shi glanced at him and said, "It's good to know!" If it weren't for the sake of the second brother, I wouldn't have paid this money! ”。
Han Xiuyuan smiled.
The family income is small and the expenses are large, and in the capital, some personal expenses are unavoidable. The cook's porter, the carriage and the groom are also not saved. Otherwise, it is inconvenient to go out, and it looks shabby in the eyes of everyone.
With the wealth of their father and son, the family is stretched thin.
There is also a cousin Zhang, who has lived for more than ten years. Now it seems that he will live indefinitely in the future.
These days, it's difficult!
Namusi and the others moved in, and within a few days, the Han family's books were unbearable. These people are all meatless, but the meat in the capital is not cheap.
After eating the Han family's usual month's meal money for three days, Zhang said angrily: "Are these people all rice buckets?" ”。
Zhang Qingwan said in a low voice: "Auntie, don't be angry. I still have some hairpin rings over there, and I gave them to my sister-in-law when I turned around, and I can make up for some household use. ”。
Zhang took her hand and sighed: "It's still my Wan'er intimacy!" Hey, it's not that woman, her heart is too ruthless. I don't even want a husband. ”。
Zhang Qingwan smiled and persuaded: "Auntie, don't say that. The county lord is just a little angry now. After a while, she wanted to open it. Turning around, you can persuade her to take Sister Namus. ”。
"She's so talkative?" Zhang didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.
"You can tell your mother-in-law!" Zhang Qingwan chuckled and said, "She shouldn't want her cousin to run away with the barbarian girl!" Then where is her dignified county lord's face? A dignified and first-class county lord can't even compare to a woman herding sheep, and let people rob her husband. If this thing gets out, she won't make people laugh to death. ”。
"yes!" Zhang's eyes lit up.
