Chapter 270: Favoritism
The servant received the order, and immediately led the two family members to carry a small cabinet out of the carriage of the squire Wu.
This cabinet is very small, it can often be seen in ordinary people's homes, it is square, there is no door and no carving, it is very simple, and it does not require many processes, and Chen Xian's own wood shop sells it.
As soon as the cabinet was carried out, some villagers whispered:
"Aren't you making desks and chairs? Why did you get a small cabinet out? ”
"Maybe Squire Wu thinks that this kind of small cabinet is more of a test of craftsmanship."
"That's right, it may be that Squire Wu wants to catch them off guard."
“……”
Meng Zhuangshi stood beside Squire Wu, which attracted some attention from others, but Meng Zhuangshi looked frank and swaying, still looked at by others, and the people next to him only glanced at it and then withdrew their gaze.
The relationship between him Meng Zhuangshi and Squire Wu has always been good, this is not a matter of one or two days, the people in the village know it, and they also feel that in front of so many people, he Meng Zhuangshi can't make any small moves, and no one pays attention to him.
Squire Wu turned his face slightly, and said in a voice to Meng Zhuang that only two people could hear, and whispered: "Don't say that I don't take care of your nephew, I took this cabinet from your nephew's shop, and I must have done it a lot, but if he can't even do this, then he can't blame me." ”
Meng Zhuangshi hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you Squire Wu, Squire Wu is right, if my nephew can't even do such a simple thing, then he deserves not to be able to bid." ”
Although the village chief couldn't hear what the two people said, it didn't prevent him from seeing some clues, and he felt a little disdainful of the behavior of these two people in his heart, and he was even more worried about Lu Yan.
At this point, it was useless to worry too much, so the village chief shouted: "The bidding begins, let's start the two!" ”
Chen Xian recognized at a glance that the cabinet came from his shop, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart: It seems that this bid is just a formality, although the village chief doesn't seem to be very satisfied with himself, but this Wu squire is towards himself! I guess it's because of my uncle!
Thinking of this, he glanced at Lu Yan sympathetically, and felt that Lu Yan was really stupid to come up with the idea of bidding, did he really think that it would be fair to come up with this kind of bidding? No, nothing in this world is absolutely fair, and today is the day to teach him a good lesson.
Lu Yan ignored these, only to see him walk unhurriedly to the small cabinet, first measured the size of the cabinet up and down with a soft ruler, and then carefully counted the number of lattices in the cabinet, and then returned to the saw table to spread out the pen and ink.
"Hey, why did Lu Yan still get pen and ink? Isn't it made of wood? ”
"I guess it's to remember the size, I always have to write it down after I measure it, otherwise I will forget the size, this board is long and the board is short, how can I do this?"
"I hope he will remember it quickly, you see, Chen Xiandu has started sawing wood......"
Just when the villagers thought that Lu Yan was memorizing the size, they saw Lu Yan painting again.
The villagers sweated for him again: "Why did you paint?" Isn't it supposed to be counted? ”
"Brother Lu, what are you doing?"
Lu Yan quickly drew the shape of the cabinet, and after drawing, he marked the size on each board.
Seeing this, the villagers couldn't help but suddenly say, "It turns out that the size is marked after the painting is finished." "E-book bar
"Isn't this called sharpening knives and cutting firewood?"
"I've heard that all the best carpenters do it."
“……”
After drawing the picture, Lu Yan began to sawn up the wood with his hands and feet.
Aunt Zhao and Jixiang were also in the crowd.
"Jixiang, do you think your father will win? Or will that Chen Xian win? ”
Aunt Zhao was also anxious, but looking at Lu Yan as if she was at ease, and Si Si's face didn't have much expression, she looked very calm, and she slowly relaxed, and she was still in the mood to tease Jixiang.
"It's got to be my daddy!"
Jixiang said as a matter of course: "My father is amazing!" Anything goes, daddy must win. ”
"Yes."
This answer was already within Aunt Zhao's expectations, and the people didn't feel much surprised, and looked at the two people in the middle of the field lightly.
On the contrary, there were some unpleasant voices next to her, which made Aunt Zhao frown.
Meng Lili's mother, Meng Li, and her daughter-in-law, Qiu Xing, were also in the crowd.
Meng Li felt that this was a good show, and his nephew must be able to win steadily, there is no doubt about it! She even grabbed a handful of melon seeds from her family, looked at the two people who were competing, and said while eating melon seeds: "Isn't this Lu Yan too self-conscious, a person who hunts in the mountains all day long, otherwise he is a person who works in the field, how can he compare to a person like Xian'er who specializes in this kind of business!" ”
Qiu Xing smiled: "Lu Yan, this person! It's just that he is used to being in the limelight in the village, and there is nothing in the village that he has his hand in! He just feels shameless and unconvinced! ”
Meng Li said disdainfully: "I'm worried that his majesty has not been achieved, but I'm afraid that he will become the laughing stock of the village." ”
"Hahaha......" The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
was laughing, and a serious voice suddenly came from behind him: "What are you two talking about?" ”
"Aunt Zhao......" Qiu Xing was startled.
"Ah, Sister Zhao, are you here too?" When Meng Li saw Aunt Zhao, he was still smiling, as if he hadn't noticed Aunt Zhao's ugly face at all.
Aunt Zhao and Ji Xiang have been standing beside them just now, they all listened to what these women said, Aunt Zhao was a little annoyed, looked at these two people with an unkind expression, and said: "Although I don't know what you think, but now Lu Yan is a person in our village, how much people have helped the big guys, you don't appreciate it, even if you still say bad things about others behind your back." ”
"If you want to talk about the laughing stock in our village, I think it's your family! Fish begins to rot from the head! ”
Aunt Zhao is a generation older than Qiu Xing, and Qiu Xing didn't dare to talk back, so she didn't say anything.
But Meng Li was not afraid of Aunt Zhao at all, and glanced at her, "Sister Zhao, look at what you said!" What I said is true, who in the village doesn't know that Lu Yan's family is farming and hunting! If you want me to say it! Even if you know how to do carpentry, it's just scratching the surface! How can you compare with our family Chen Xian! ”
