Chapter 512: Dispute
The family laughed and chatted loudly in the house, but outside, the subordinates of the Zhang family's big house and the newcomers in the second room fell out. (To read the book, please visit)
It turned out that Liu Heizi and Huang Mai were originally serving in the Zhang family's compound, among which Liu Heizi had to manage the fungus field during the day, and Heipi followed behind Huaizi, and there were eight people working in the daily yard such as Aunt Liu, grapes, Xiaoxi, cherries, Huang Mai, Qingmai and their fathers and mothers.
Now, there are so many people here, in addition to Zhang Yang and other masters, the maid and daughter-in-law, the housekeeper and the rough boy, etc., and the eight unknown men who have brought, there are more than 30 people, isn't this a mess.
Lao Chentou (Huang Mai Daddy), Huang Mai and Qing Mai waited in the third courtyard, so that those people had just come and had unfamiliar places, so they led them to watch one by one, where to use water, where to bathe, where to latrine, where to firewood, etc., and explained clearly.
However, in addition to the Cao family in the second room, there are four aunts, and the maids and mothers-in-law who serve each each other are all thinking about their respective masters, looking for them to ask for east and west, and after a while, the group directed by the father and son will be transferred.
Zhang Yang's housekeeper Zhang Cheng is a young man, he remembered the eight men brought by the master, so he called Huang Mai, these eight people were brought by the second master to the eldest master, and let him arrange a place to live.
Huang Mai is also a clever person, seeing that he was eating in front of him, it was inconvenient to disturb, and Zhang Huai had also talked to him and Heipi about this matter, so he knew it in his heart, so he took it upon himself to lead Zhang Cheng and these eight people to the back garden, and arranged them in the back cover room in the last row. I called Xiaoxi to add bed tent utensils, and after some arrangements to clean up, the two of them stumbled there.
Zhang Cheng returned to the courtyard and continued to instruct the servants to tidy up their residences.
Mama Wang, who was beside Cao's side, inspected the residence of Zhang Yang and his wife, and saw that although the room was simply furnished, it was complete in color and color, and it was very elegant, and she felt that it was very suitable for her young lady's spleen and stomach, so she was very satisfied.
Thinking that the old man loves to read in the room at night. He also asked Qingmai to scoop up more lamps and candles, and he arranged for someone to hang a plain curtain in the room to cover the bed tent. In this way, if the young lady sleeps first. The light of the old man reading the book will not be dazzling.
However, Mama Wang knows the temperament of her young lady, and knows that she will like this elegant, plain, natural and leisurely place, but some people are extremely dissatisfied, disgusted with this and that, and feel that it is really troublesome to be in a poor place in the countryside.
He also instructed Qingmai to help move the table and the chairs. Add this and that, and be busy; Cherry was also called, some asked for mats, some asked for pillows, and some asked for lanterns, and they also directed her to turn around.
Qingmai is a simple boy, and whoever asks him to help is happy; Cherry is quiet and shy, and it is not as clever as Grape and Xiaoxi. Besides, these two people saw that the whole family was busy packing up and preparing a few days ago, so they came back for the second master, and now they are really back. Of course, there is a response, and the second master's family must be satisfied.
In this way, the front was empty, and after a while, Huang Mai Niang was also called to scoop something, and only grapes and Aunt Liu were left in the kitchen.
Cao's eldest girl, Lan'er, saw that the pumpkin had missed her meal, so she came to the kitchen in advance to prepare hot water, so that she would bathe the master.
Grape took the large teapot on the stove and poured hot water for her.
Two maids also came over to ask for hot water, and Aunt Wu and Aunt Liu had to take a bath after eating, so they had to prepare first. Otherwise, it won't be too late to burn back. It was clearly afraid that there would be too many people to wait, and others would take the lead.
Without waiting for Grape to answer, Aunt Gao's maid came over again and asked if there was some sweet soup in the kitchen to relieve the heat, and then it would be chilled with well water, so that the lady and aunts could take a nap and eat deliciously.
Lan'er's expression moved. smiled: "Madame didn't want to relieve the heat. We dragged a large family back, adding a lot of trouble to the family, almost saving in advance. If you look for Sister Grape in everything, one person is the same, and it will add up to unbearable. When the settlement is done, we can also help with some things, and it will be smooth at that time! β
Seeing that Lan'er was talking beautifully, the maid secretly pursed her lips, but said with a smile: "Sister Lan'er." I just asked in vain, thinking about a hot day, the summer soup is also common, and there will never be nothing. It's also that I didn't think about it, after all, this place is not as good as the capital. Sister Grape should not be careful, I think that our lord is also the son of the old lady, and now that he has returned to his hometown in fine clothes, the family is reunited, and it is too late to be happy, so naturally he should not talk about foreign things and pretend to be angry. β
Lan'er was so angry that her face turned red, and she asked, "Xiang'er, who are you faking to be angry?" The lord asked you to ask for this or that? Why don't we go and ask the master? β
Xiang'er said unhappily: "What do I want?" Isn't it just asking if there is a soup to relieve the heat? But you're all stuck here, so don't you want something? β
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Grape hurriedly stopped the conversation, and said to Xiang'er with a straight face: "Our countryside is surrounded by mountains, so naturally it is not as good as the capital, it turns out that you people in the capital drink soup every day." Our family is not so particular, we eat whatever comes to mind. I didn't cook the soup today, so my wife made some melons and fruits chilled in the morning, and took them out to squeeze the juice at noon and used it as a cold drink. Listening to what you mean, I'm afraid my aunt won't like it. However, there is a saying called 'whatever the lord does', so I have to ask my aunt to take care of it. Besides, the second master is coming home now, so naturally he won't p
The edge of the curtain⨠carboxybird model is leisurely and curtain! p
Taking advantage of the stunned moments of a few people, she turned her head and said to the other two maids: "The backyard kitchen and bathroom are complete, and the firewood and grass are also properly prepared." The aunts want to take a bath, you boil the water, pour it into the pool above, and use a bamboo pipe to flush it on your body, which is cleaner and more convenient than bathing in a wooden barrel. β
Seeing that the two of them were still stunned, he asked unhappily, "You can't even boil water, do you?" β
The two hurriedly waved their hands and said, "No, we will boil water." I just think it...... It's a little uncomfortable, so I came to see if Sister Grape can help. If Sister Grape is not available, it would be the same to ask the mother-in-law to help. She was referring to Aunt Liu, who was busy in the kitchen.
Grape smiled: "Not easy? You use buckets to draw water from wells in the capital, right? Is there a family like this who takes tap water from the mountains? β
The two shook their heads wryly and said, "No." β
Grape said: "That's not it." You don't need to carry water, just take the water to boil, and you can't even do this, so what do you usually do? That mother-in-law is my mother, who specializes in serving the family's tea and rice, you let her boil water, and you come to work in the kitchen? β
Hmph, don't you just want to call her! Phew, they are all serving people, and those who come from the capital are more expensive? No matter how noble you are, can you climb on her head and be the master?
The two men blushed, their eyes flickering silently.
Xiang'er saw that this black girl was quite powerful, pursed her lips, and said, "Okay, Sister Grape, let's come from a distant place, and when we first arrive, there will be trouble for you, please bear with me." If we don't ask about these things clearly and prepare them earlier, should we let the old lady and aunts ask for themselves? Again, it won't be much trouble, and the second master will take office. β
Seeing the grape wheat-colored cheeks, black and red because of anger, I was afraid that she would be really angry, and it would not be good to make a noise, so I hurriedly quickened my voice and said: "Now there is something I want to trouble Sister Grape: that is, we are covered with quilts on our beds, and on this hot day, don't we have to cover our sweat?" I wonder if there is a mattress at home? If you want to, scoop it out, let's wash it, dry it in the sun, and spread it in the evening; If not, it's best to have someone go to the Xiatang market and buy a few beds back. Otherwise, if you don't let others, the first one of our little young masters will not be able to bear it. β
Grape took a deep breath and asked with a smile: "You are a master on the left, a wife on the right, and a young master now, which one are you serving?" This Sister Lan'er is serving by the second wife's side, I recognize her, why didn't I listen to her master, wife and little master's request? β
Lan'er said disdainfully: "Sister Xiang'er can do whatever Aunt Gao wants, and you don't have to worry about it." β
Xiang'er's face suddenly turned red, and she shouted angrily: "Isn't my aunt not the master's person, not the Zhang family?" I'm just asking if there are mats and summer soup, and I don't want silk and satin, delicacies from the mountains and seas? Just push back and be arrogant? That's how your wife taught you? β
Lan'er shouted, "Xiang'er, what do you say?" The big lady is also what you can? β
Grape said coldly: "Hasn't the matter of relieving the summer soup already been with Sister Xiang'er?" The mat will wait for the evening, as long as your aunt can withstand the cool air on the mountain at night, I will naturally spread a mat on her bed. Rest assured, it's all clean, you don't need to wash it, you can use it when you scoop it out. Sister Xiang'er, don't be angry, if it weren't for your prickly words, I wouldn't be able to reply to you like this. When we are all fools in the countryside, you have to bury them? Also, you are less than our wife, I don't see that you were brought back by the second master, and it is the first day to enter the door today, I want you to look good. β
Xiang'er saw that Cherry was docile and obedient before, and thought that the country girls were so timid and afraid, but the grapes were very powerful. She heard that the grapes wanted her to look good, and she was not convinced to argue, when she heard someone ask, "What's the matter, grapes?" What's the good noise? β
It turned out that Chrysanthemum came out first with Cao and a few aunts.
Grape felt that the yard was a mess, completely unorganized, cherry, yellow wheat and others were gone, if she hadn't insisted, even she and her mother would have been instructed to help those people in the second room, and there would be no one to work in the big house.
When she saw Chrysanthemum come out, she hurriedly stepped forward to tell her about the situation; Over there, the Cao family also asked Lan'er what happened; Xiang'er and the others also complained to their respective aunts, and deliberately raised their voices and said, "When we first arrived, we asked about something, so we were so impatient......
