Chapter 196: Alien Hearts (I)
On this day, Fang Xin summoned Wang Lu
Wang Lu came in, but here is a water pavilion, surrounded by lake water, slightly a little phoenix, blowing ripples, in this summer,.
Wang Lu wore new clothes, very new robes, crossed the bridge, and arrived at the pavilion, where there was a small banquet.
"Mr. Wang, please be seated." Fang Xin said: "Let's drink together." ”
Wang Lu bowed and said, "Dare to disobey your fate? ”
There are not many dishes on the banquet, but they are extremely exquisite, and after three rounds of wine, Fang Xin said: "Mr. Wang, you are in my house, are you doing well?" ”
Wang Lu listened, put down his chopsticks, and said solemnly: "The owner promoted himself from a poor place, granted a field house, a rich man, and a mother, this is the grace of heaven and earth. But there is a life, although he will not give up. ”
Fang Xin knew that this person was very principled, and said that although he would not give up, he would really not give up even if he died, and said with a smile at the moment: "But it is not like this, please sit down, I will discuss with you, you should also know a little about the situation of me and my wife, and you can't live in the Yang world for a long time." ”
When Wang Lu heard this, he was not surprised, and said: "The owner and his wife, they are not mortals, I have already known about it, but I just don't say it." ”
Fang Xin appreciated it very much, and said: "Since this is the case, I'll just say it, I'm this Linjiang Shuibo." ”
Although he had been prepared, Wang Lu was still shocked, he got up and bowed: "It turned out to be Shui Bo, I was rude before, please forgive me for one or two." ”
"Those who don't know are not guilty, Mr. Wang, please take a seat."
Wang Lu bowed again, then got up and sat down, his expression was already as usual, this kind of heart and qi cultivation kung fu is indeed admirable.
"Then you will serve me?" Fang Xin asked.
The system of this world retains the system of the Warring States period on the earth, which is easy to understand, this world is not a world of great unity, but a world of many countries, in order to compete in military and political affairs, in order to expand their territory and influence, they have recruited wise men, and some aristocratic lords in order to improve their prestige and strengthen their own power, they also compete to open the door, so "shi" has become the most important class in the world.
In this world, there is a "Notes on the Autumn Forest" that says, it is very incisive.
"If the nine tripods are unified, the monarch and the minister are solid, the upper and lower are one, it is not as good as the past, so it is not as good as the family, although there are good people, it is also like reckless, not enough to be called talented, there are dragons in the world, and they need to lie down, and there are tigers in the world, and they need to lie down, and they are not the happy land of scholars
However, all the countries in the world are numerous, each for the community, to recruit heroes, in order to become auxiliary wings, this is the success of the scholar, the loss of the soldier is dead, up to the king, down to the noble, all to recruit good people as the first, this scholar's paradise also! ”
To put it simply, just like the earth in the 21st century, as long as it is really talented, you don't keep me, I will go to other countries, so in this case, an environment of "what is the most expensive in the world, the most expensive talent" has been formed, rather than a unified world - no matter how capable you are, it is the dragon that lies for me, and the tiger that lies down for me.
Therefore, he became a "scholar", not a slave, and his status was not low, Wang Lu listened, got up again, and said: "Therefore, I don't dare to ask for ears, Wang Lu visits the lord." ”
Fang Xin immediately smiled, accepted this salute, and said: "Since this is the case, it is my own family, you also know, my wife and I can't run the house all the time, how about my husband slaughter my family?" ”
The so-called family slaughter, as the name suggests, is the prime minister of the family, and his status in the family is very high. ”
Since he is the head of the family, he is not an outsider, he asked justifiably, this is not a housekeeper in the era of great unification, grievances and perfection, at this time, the taxis are all "those who are together, and those who do not go", there are not too many grievances.
Fang Xin said: "There are five hundred and fifty taels of gold, sixteen thousand taels of silver, and one hundred pearls at home, but there are not many fields outside, only fifty acres, except for Yu Xue, there are four maids, four healthy servants, and two cooks, these are all managed by you, as for your salary, 300 stone a year, how about it?" ”
Three hundred stones, one hundred catties and one stone, is equal to one hundred and fifty taels of silver, but it is a high salary, Wang Lu said: "The lord rest assured, these gold and silver are enough, I will arrange income and expenditure on behalf of the lord, add property, in order to make profits every year." ”
Fang Xin didn't care about this, but he couldn't let this person be idle like this, so he said, "Since that's the case, then it's up to you." ”
After thinking about it, he said: "If it's a trivial matter, discuss it with the Liu family, the Liu family will handle it, if it's a medium matter, you can discuss it with Zhu Xin, presumably he is still willing to help, if it's a big matter, discuss it with me." ”
As he spoke, he summoned his family and instructed him to do so, but it was decided, and on that day, according to custom, Wang Lu invited other people to a banquet, and Fang Xin also gave some silk as a gift.
From the second day, this Wang Lu began to serve as a deacon and housekeeper, except for Yu Xue, the rest of the family members and maids were all under his control.
Wang Lu was originally a great talent, although he was only in charge of a family at this time, but he could also give full play to his talents, although at the beginning, there would always be some small mistakes, this is a matter of experience, but Fang Xin ignored everything and trusted everything, and Xiao Bing practiced behind closed doors, did not ask about foreign affairs, was not subject to the clamp from above, and was not afraid of slander, so after a few things, he became sophisticated.
In the blink of an eye, it has been three years, and under his management, this Fang family already has 3,000 acres of fertile land, four commercial houses, and the garden at home has also been repaired, which is more and more exquisite, and the slaves, maids, and samurai are all enriched.
On this day, Wang Lu was summoned by his mother, Zhang.
Wang Lu is not only the head of the house, the mother is more expensive than the son, but also has a set of rooms, this house also has eight rooms, the front hall and the back of the house are complete, only to enter, I saw a maid, as soon as he saw him coming, he smiled and greeted him, and said: "The old lady was still reading just now, but it happened that you came." ”
So he raised the bamboo curtain and said, "The house has arrived." ”
Wang Lu entered the room and saw his mother Zhang sitting in it, although there were some silver threads on his sideburns, but it was caused by poverty and was only about forty-five years old, so Wang Lu visited his mother.
Zhang said, "How is my son doing lately? ”
"For the sake of the lord, I am dedicated." Wang Lu replied and said something, Zhang listened, nodded again and again, and said: "The lord treats my family richly, but you can't be lazy in your work." ”
After saying a few words, she said with a dignified face: "My son, you are now the head of the Fang family, and you have always been friendly with the new Panhu County Commander, and the sound of the text has also spread to the county, I have nothing else to ask for, but you are also twenty-four this year, and you have not yet married a wife, but it is a heart disease in my heart." ”
The commander of Panhu County is Zhu Xin, he is directly an official through the shadow of the family, and the first term is the magistrate, but he has embarked on the first step of his grand plan.
When Zhang said this, he got up and rolled up the curtains, and there were two maids playing outside, one with plump skin and one with a slender figure, both girls were seventeen or eighteen years old, very beautiful, they knew the meaning, and saw the curtains rolled up, although their faces were red, they were very looking forward to it.
Wang Lu saw it, but he was silent, Zhang saw it, sighed, lowered the curtains, and said: "These two girls are polite and gentle, and they are not bad people, don't I look down on them?" ”
After a pause, seeing that he still didn't speak, he said again: "Could it be that I fell in love with that lady's personal maid Yu Xue?" There is no one else here, you don't care about other things, you tell your mother, yes or no! ”
Zhi'er is not as good as his mother, but Wang Lu was said to be in his mind, but he was forced, so he sighed and said: "Yes, I do love her, but Yu Xue is extraordinary, I am afraid that I can't climb high." ”
Before he had finished speaking, he heard the laughter of someone in the courtyard, saying, "If this is the case, they have not yet come to me." ”
Hearing this voice, Wang Lu was startled, and hurriedly got up, and sure enough, he saw several maids surrounding one person coming in, of course this is Xiao Bing, but he has a myriad of manners, and he has a real out-of-the-world temperament.
And around her, Yu Xue was also among them, but she bowed her head, dyed her face red, and refused to speak.
The two hurriedly got up to salute, but Xiao Bing said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you have always been decisive and decisive in handling things, even I admire it, but you are hesitant in this regard, my family Yu Xue can still wait, but how can you continue to wait?" If your mother hadn't come to talk to me and asked Yu Xue again, she would have been willing to do so a long time ago—I don't know when. ”
Speaking of this, Yu Xue couldn't help blushing and said, "Madam, what are you talking about!" ”
The relationship between her and Xiao Bing is different, but she doesn't follow, Xiao Bing knows that she is thin now, smiled, and ignored her, so she said to He: "Your family has no father, and my family only has me and my husband, and my husband doesn't care about this matter, so you and I will do this today." ”
He Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Madame clearly sees, this is all I have in mind, my son's opinion does not need to be asked, I am the mother to be the master - when do you say it is auspicious?" ”
"What auspicious time do I have to ask for in my family? If I say, just look for an auspicious time in the month, and then do this at home, you and I have no relatives, even if you want to do a big one, you can't do it. Xiao Bing said.
"Very good, very good, I think the tenth day of the first month of this month is good, but it is suitable for marriage." He Shi hurriedly said, and said: "Oh, I invited my wife to take a seat, but I forgot to serve tea at the ceremony." ”
Xiao Bing smiled, took a seat, served tea, took a sip, and said: "I still want you to do these things, I am the master's family, just give a congratulatory gift." ”
Saying that, he called Yu Xue again, sighed, and said with a smile: "You are different from others, you understand, but you also have this thought, I can only be optimistic, and I will be a wife in the future, but I must work hard and serve my mother-in-law and husband." ”
After a pause, he used the voice to hear, only one of her heard: "You are from a different race, although you have a human form because of canonization, but you have not completed 500 merits, and you can't turn into a real person, but you may not be able to get pregnant-this thing is very difficult, even me and my husband may not be able to do it, the Wang family is fated, there should be three sons......"
Yu Xue didn't care, and also said: "Over the years, I have also read thousands of books, but I also know the mandate of heaven, I can get the permission of my wife and marry her, it is already grace, if I can have children, it is the destiny of heaven, I can't, it should be, I should not refuse him to marry a concubine...... Hey, life is short, he is only a hundred years, thinking of this, what can't you see through? It's just that I met him and fell in love, a love affair, and I couldn't extricate myself. ”
The two of them quickly transmitted, and in the eyes of outsiders, they only paused for a moment, and then they saw Yu Xue bowing down: "Mrs. Xie taught." ”
And so it was.
