After the death of people by hailstones the size of eggs, it has been raining heavily in Beijing for a month. It was late autumn in November, but it was already shivering from the cold, and he was wrapped in thick winter clothes.

There was a sea outside the wall of the Lin Mansion, and the servants standing under the eaves in the courtyard shrank down and sighed at the ghost weather: "I don't know when this rain will fall, and I can't get out if I don't stop!" ”

Another servant standing beside him took the oil-paper umbrella and stomped his feet like a chicken in soup, leaving two wet marks on the ground: "The capital is excellent, I heard my fellow villagers who sold poultry say that because of this torrential rain, the Yellow River is angry, and the monstrous flood has flooded several places, and all the buildings in the city have been washed away!" ”

The two servants who heard this couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and said in a daze: "So serious? ”

The chicken-like servant sneered, patted the rain on his body and prepared to enter the house: "Serious? The shops of all sizes in Beijing have been closed, and the farmland on the outskirts of Beijing has been flooded, and now there are beggars sleeping on the streets everywhere. ”

The servant who couldn't get out of the distress was even more worried: "I have more than a dozen people in my family, and I don't know what the situation is now, is my mother full of food?" ”

The servant who was standing with him tugged at his sleeve and reminded: "You came in with a death deed, and your monthly silver is all subsidized to go to the house. ”

As he was talking, a young steward came over and beckoned to the servants: "Come and get the sign, and go to the treasury to find Steward Cao." ”

"Steward Zhang, what is this brand for?" And those who were more intimate with the young man had the audacity to ask.

Steward Zhang lowered his head and handed out the wooden sign to everyone, only to glance at the children in his heart who were still hanging on to the family even though he was sold by the family: "It's not cold and tight, the main family is generous, whoever is on an errand in the Lin family will be given two sets of winter coats and leather boots, two thick bedding, plus a pair of scarves and gloves, and twenty taels of silver." ”

As soon as these words came out, the servants were overjoyed, and they all thanked the young Steward Zhang. Although they don't have to worry about eating and drinking in the house, and the monthly silver is also high, they can be remembered by the master's family, and they think about them everywhere, which is a different kind of taste in their hearts.

Steward Zhang was also happy, his eyes were more lively than others, his hands and feet were more diligent than others, and he climbed to the position of steward of the outer courtyard in only two years.

The servants have given out these good things, let alone those who are in charge, of course, there are also high and low in the stewards, and the things they get are also different, as for who is high and who is low, it all depends on the ability to speak.

After thinking about it, he smiled and patted the kid in front of him and said, "Don't thank me, this is all your luck!" I'm going somewhere else, you go and get back quickly. ”

The servants stooped and bowed hurriedly to him, and then walked away quickly, smiling at the corners of their eyes.

Steward Zhang walked two steps, only to remember that Steward Li, who was in charge of purchasing, was still waiting for the servant who went out to reply, and only when he turned around did he find that the person had already gone away.

He shook his head, and raised his feet to prepare to go to the West Cross Courtyard to reply. If it were him, why would he have to go back to the steward as soon as possible and then think about anything else, would it be possible for everyone to run away with a long leg?

Seeing this alone is enough for them to distinguish several from above.

People, often think that the top will not care about some small things, but the top still cares, not only care, but also because of these two small things to determine you as a person.

When the servants happily went to the treasury to sign and receive the money and materials, there were also a few stewards in the west span room that was warm like spring with carbon back and forth, and the last one was Mrs. Li, who was in charge of purchasing.

"Clothes, bedding, and coal supplies have been prepared; Chickens, ducks, fish, rice, vegetables and vegetables have also been piled up in the cellar and frozen cellar, enough for us to eat for 100 people for half a year, you can see if there is a mistake! Mrs. Li's face was full of smiles, now that the doors and windows of this house were closed, and the streets and alleys were empty, she could still buy the things on the list at the usual price, which could not be said to be a good job.

Fang Dashan took the list in her hand and looked at it twice, and saw that the person in the form above, the silver taels used for the flowers, the quantity and quality were clear at a glance, and then he nodded and asked, "There are no eyebrows on the matter of duck down?" ”

Steward Li's smile froze, and he no longer looked proud of his previous faction: "Because of this heavy rain, it has been delayed for one or two, you can rest assured, I will buy it for you tomorrow!" ”

Fang Dashan nodded disregardlessly, and after brushing twice on the personnel list that belonged to him, he waved his hand to let the stewards go down, and he went to the main courtyard with the account book in his hand.

In the house, Lin Yuan was sitting at the table with his son in his arms, and he still had a pot of bamboo wine in his hand, and when he poured it into the cup, it was turquoise.

The little rice balls sitting on his lap were attracted by the green elixir, and sat on his father's knees and watched his father pour himself a drink. Wen Wan wanted to hold him in his hand and let his father free up his hands to eat, so he recognized this father who could play with him.

At this time, Fang Dashan, who had already been a housekeeper outside the house, talked back and forth, so Wen Wan put down his chopsticks and walked to the cubicle to talk. Without the person who added rice and scooped the soup, Lin Yuan's meal was a little boring, and he didn't even notice that his son was silently enough for him to steal wine from his cup.

When he lowered his head, the little man in his arms still held the empty cup in both hands and put it to his mouth "ahhh

Lin Yuan frowned and snatched his wine glass, glanced at the compartment with a weak heart, and then glared at him for stealing wine and drinking in the past five months.

Tang Yuan was not scared of his father, his dark eyes stared at his father happily, and he seemed to smash his mouth and clap his hands stupidly.

Lin Yuan's heart warmed, poured water and drank with him, and kissed him on the forehead before he took care of the vegetables and ate them.

Wen Wan took care of the housework and returned to the house, and what she saw was that she was staring at the chicken thigh meat in his father's hand without blinking and drooling, and she didn't even bother to give her a look.

Lin Yuan, who had eaten two chicken legs and drank up a bowl of soup, looked down at his mother-in-law's gaze, and couldn't laugh or cry, why was he so greedy!

Wen Wan sighed and walked over to hug her son, wiped the saliva from his mouth with a handkerchief before admonishing Lin Yuan: "Eat everything, I didn't pay attention to Jiao Yoo pills yesterday and let him stuff one into his mouth, and people who haven't returned their teeth are not afraid of choking, so Xuan Cai let me buckle it out, you can't get used to his problems and secretly feed him!" ”

Lin Yuan touched his nose with a weak heart, and saw that his son was aggrieved and his lips were ready to send a lot of water at any time, and he still relented: "It doesn't matter if you steam an egg custard and let him taste it!" ”

Wen Wan's face was flat: "No, I haven't been able to feed for five months now, and I've fed him egg custard?" ”

As soon as these words fell, Tang Yuan, who was blushing and moving his fists, swept his fist on his mother's chin, and it was a sour numb......

Wen Wan, who covered her chin and bared her teeth, stared at the devil who laughed harmlessly in her arms: Son, Liang Ziknot is big!
