Chapter 316
Well! Get up and talk back! Shen Zaishi glanced at each of their faces before he spoke and told them all to get up.
ββ"Yes! Thank you, old lady! β
ββ"Zheng Laoshi, how long have you been guarding the garden here?" Shen Zaishi asked.
ββ"Back to the old lady, the slave has been guarding the garden here for almost thirty years!"
ββ"Oh! It's been so long! Thirty years! How did you get here? β
ββZheng Laoshi kept his head down, and after hearing Shen Zaishi ask him this question, he looked up at Shen Zaishi and showed a smile, "Young Master, don't you remember the minion?" β
ββ"Huh!? ...... are you" Shen Zaishi was shocked, he frowned and looked at Zheng Laoshi carefully, feeling that it was indeed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember this person.
ββ"Big young master! It's no wonder that the eldest young master can't remember, the slave was just a horseman in the Shen Mansion back then, and it was rare to see the eldest young master once! β
ββShen Zaishi tried hard to think about it, but he couldn't find out what Zheng Laoshi looked like from his memory.
ββ"Alas! It's been more than 30 years! I've become a grandfather, and I really can't remember the old people in the house back then! Were you sold to Jiangnan back then? β
ββZheng Laoshi sighed and sighed with emotion: "Back then, the slave was going to be sold to the mine, and then the slave gave some silver to the steward, and then he was brought to Suzhou by the human tooth. By chance, he met the old lady Wan of Wanbang Qianzhuang, and he also learned by chance that the slave was originally an old servant of the Shen family, so he bought back the slave from Renyazi and arranged for the slave to guard the garden here. Later, Mrs. Wan sent the slave's wife and father-in-law, and the slave became married to the old wife the following year and gave birth to two sons in succession. The two sons also married wives and had children, and the slaves sent away their father-in-law and father-in-law two years ago. To tell you the truth, if you don't come again, I'm afraid the slave won't be able to wait to see you in this life! β
ββZheng honestly said that his nose was pantothenic, and tears couldn't help but flow.
ββShen Zaishi also sighed in his heart, if it weren't for his granddaughter Shen Mengxi's ancestors, maybe they would really not have a chance to see each other again in this life!
ββ"What a stupid thing to say! Look at how good your days are now! The house is full of children and grandchildren, and we will wait to enjoy happiness in the future! β
ββ"Hey, hey! The two sons of the slave don't know a few big words, so they only learned the skill of raising horses from the slave! But he can really give birth to a son, and he gave birth to seven grandsons and four granddaughters to the slave in one go, and the second daughter-in-law still has one in her belly! Hey! Hey! Speaking of his children and grandchildren, Zheng Laoshi couldn't close his mouth with joy, especially to have so many grandchildren, which made him feel very proud!
ββShen Zaishi shook his head amusedly, looking at the children standing at the back, the oldest boy was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was about the same age as Shen Mengxi and Shen Mengxu; The oldest girl looks like twelve or thirteen, and the youngest is seven or eight years old! Because he kept his head down, Shen Zaishi couldn't see their looks clearly, but looking at the appearance of Zheng Laoshi and his old wife, they could only be regarded as delicate at most.
ββ"Don't your grandchildren read and write?" Shen Zaishi asked.
ββ"I only sent my eldest grandson to study with an old Xiucai who lived in the alley in front of me for two years, so that I could not open my eyes blind, so that I could record the income and expenditure accounts in this garden!"
ββ"Oh! So who used to keep track of income and expenditure? β
ββ"It's always been the slave who is recording, and the slave also studied with the old housekeeper for a few days when he was in the Shen Mansion, and he can barely write a few words. In the past two years, the minion's eyes have been spent, so it will be handed over to the minion's eldest grandson to take care of! β
