Volume 4 Drunk Cold Wine 14, Into the New Era 3

The word "timely" is really important.

Wu Chang was originally going to take out this trick bag and return the drawings when he knelt down and kowtowed to thank his father for his wheelchair, so there was both benevolence and filial piety, and loyalty, who was present was not allowed to help praise him? The master is afraid that he will also be moved, and this good impression is cast.

There is a saying that hearing is false, seeing is believing, the master is new, how many things can be heard in this ear? Seeing him so loyal, righteous, benevolent and filial piety first, if others say anything in the future, the master is afraid that he will not believe it. If there is really any accident, as long as he is given a chance to open his mouth to speak, he will be sure that with this good impression, he will be able to talk to himself and turn big things into small things.

thought very well, but just as he was waiting to return the drawings, Xia Xiaoman and Qingying came over, and they diverged all of a sudden, and the atmosphere was different, and it was difficult for him to pick up the conversation, so he had to pick it up and wait for the opportunity. Who knows that until he left, he didn't look for a good opportunity, and if he didn't give it at this time, he would completely fold it in his hand,—— and give it in the future, but he would be suspicious, why didn't he pay it back early?

As soon as Wu Chang's words came out, Zhige stopped pushing Nian Liang's wheelchair.

Xia Xiaoman was originally following him, so he also paused, lowered his eyelids and became a virtuous lady, but he sneered in his heart.

In fact, people like Wu Chang are the easiest to please their masters, they are handsome and good-looking, and they are not too handsome to compare with their masters, and they are not the kind of pseudo-mothers who make people feel that they are not able to do things well; Shrewd and capable, with a sweet mouth, and loyalty everywhere, the business and character are reassuring to the master. Just now, when he told Nian Liang about the overview of the Meizhou branch of Nian Shoutang, Xia Xiaoman felt that this was a good material for a manager. The thinking is clear, the business is proficient, and even the bottom of my heart is a little suspicious that the drawings are the heart of my villain.

As a result, Wu Chang did this at this time...... The image of a professional manager in her heart collapsed in an instant.

This show is too much, it only makes people feel fake. Even if she didn't look at the "Lotus Treasure Chair" before, Wu Chang's move would not let her regard it as a model of loyal servant, but would only feel that it was a villain who was good at tying up with her boss and deliberately greeted her. Besides, she'd seen the wheelchair before......

But. I'm afraid that the masters of the feudal era are all good for this bite,—— it's good to be praised as gods by servants.

She stood behind Nian Liang. His hands were quietly clenched into fists. She couldn't see Nian Liang's expression, she could only hear his voice being extremely gentle, and he smiled: "Brother Wu is serious." It doesn't have to be anything, it doesn't have to be. ”

Her hands tightened, and she scolded stupidly in her heart, and sure enough, Xia Worm couldn't talk about ice.

Wu Chang has been paying attention to Nian Yu's expression, but he didn't find appreciation and relief on the face of the master. was disappointed, and seeing that the master did not pick up his picture, he hesitated slightly, his mind spun a few times, and he was busy and said with a smile: "The wheelchair has been made, and this drawing should be returned to the master. Forever feel the kindness of the master. ”

Wu Xuan also realized his son's intentions, and felt that this move was very clever, and he would definitely be able to bless the master and son, so he was busy helping on the side, and he also opened his mouth and closed his mouth to be very kind and virtuous, and wanted to burn incense and worship the Buddha.

Nian Liang waved his hand and smiled, and said, "It's really a trivial matter." Uncle Xuan and Brother Wu want to keep it in their hearts, which makes me panic. As he spoke, he motioned to Zhijing to take the drawing, but asked Xia Xiaoman to hand it over.

Xia Xiaoman was stunned, because he couldn't see his expression, while speculating about his meaning in his heart, he received the drawings into his sleeve with a smile on his face, but he inadvertently met Wu Xuan's gaze.

The father and son of the Wu family were also speculating about the meaning of the master at this time, and secretly looked at this Aunt Xia,—— such an unattractive woman seemed to be the master's henchman! Except for the rumors of fate, she doesn't seem to be outstanding. It's just puzzling.

Wu Chang is tall. He hung his head slightly, and he could look at people from the corner of his eye. He hid his scheming face again, and looked very deferential; This Wu Xuan was sitting in a wheelchair, and he couldn't see anything if he lowered his head, so he was facing Xia Xiaoman.

Seeing Aunt Xia looking at herself, Wu Xuan was stunned, and she was busy with a slight jaw and came out with a smile.

Xia Xiaoman looked at his wheelchair, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "What the master said, Wu Da's shopkeeper and Wu Shao's shopkeeper are really too polite." As she spoke, she patted the lotus chair that Nian Liang was sitting on, and said, "Ye is really concerned about the illness of the shopkeeper Wu, let's say this wheelchair, regardless of his own family before, when he got this good chair in Shenzhou, he said to Manniang, "I don't know how the carpenter craftsmanship of Meizhou is, I must ask the wheelchair of the shopkeeper of Wu Da to use the hand, if not, let's find a good craftsman to play another wheelchair according to this wheelchair, and send it to the big shopkeeper, be sure to let the big shopkeeper use it comfortably, and this body can recover quickly." ’”

Wu Xuan hurriedly said: "Little thank you for the mercy of the master and the second grandmother, I have this chair and I have already suffered it!" ”

Wu Chang's ears trembled, and he couldn't help but be suspicious, ...... got a good chair in Shenzhou?!

Xia Xiaoman kept staring at Wu Chang, seeing that there was no big reaction on his face, but his eyebrows trembled subconsciously, but he knew it in his heart, and only listened to Nian forgiveness: "There are many things to do, but I forgot this sentence, and I lost it to Manniang to remember, can Uncle Bolt's wheelchair be used to ambush?" ”

Xia Xiaoman saw that he was so cooperative, and knew that he agreed with her to test Wu Chang, so he ignored Wu Xuan's mouth full of "suffering", and said to Wu Chang with a smile: "I don't know which carpenter Wu Shao's shopkeeper uses?" Presumably, the one who enters the eyes of Wu Shao's shopkeeper must be skilled, so please come over and play the lotus chair again. It's just," she said, while carefully looking at every subtle expression on Wu Chang's face, with a little regret in her mouth, she said: "It's just that the lotus shape has no drawings, and the chair was bought from a Tatar merchant, and he only got the chair, but he didn't get the picture." Hey, it's a pity, this trick is so exquisite...... If Wu Shao's shopkeeper finds a skilled craftsman, it would be best if he could imitate it......"

As soon as Xia Xiaoman began to speak to Wu Chang, he turned to face Xia Xiaoman, bowed slightly, and smiled all over his face, when he heard the Tatar merchant, his smile was slightly stiff, and after she finished speaking, he resumed his humble smile again, and only said: "The little father is very favored by the master, and he really doesn't dare to receive it again; If the second grandmother likes the exquisite patterns, the little one will go to find a dexterous craftsman with the second grandmother. Imitate this pattern, and make a house next to your grandfather and grandmother. ”

Xia Xiaoman's expression was completely in his eyes, and when he saw that Wu Yuan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law over there were also coming, they were all waiting to leave, so he didn't say much, only smiled: "That's good." Please ask Wu Shao to call the craftsman over, and he also needs to buy some tables and chairs at home. I just hit it together. As he spoke, he leaned over and asked Nian Liang, "How do you see it?" ”

Nian Liang nodded and said, "Very good." ”

Wu Chang bowed and said yes, and stepped aside. Wu Yuan brought his daughter-in-law Wu Su over to salute Xia Xiaoman, and then everyone walked all the way out.

The father and brother of the Wu Su family were all carpenters, and when they came closer, they happened to hear Xia Xiaoman's words that he was going to fight the family, so he was a little breathless, and he just thought that it would be good if he could take over this large amount of work. She was thinking about picking up Xia Xiaoman's words at that time. However, when she received that sentence before, her mother-in-law glared, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she kept holding back her voice, and gave Wu Chang a look, hoping that he could say something to recommend his father and brother. Who knew that Wu Chang didn't look at her, but made her angry.

I finally got to the door and carried someone. Wu Su was already on fire, grabbed Wu Chang's sleeve and said: "Master, the slave family sees that the second grandmother is easy-going, and she is very good at talking, how can you not tell the second grandmother, my father will fight the family." This is a large amount, this silver...... Oops...... "Before she finished speaking, she was pushed away by Wu Chang's hand, and she fell to the ground unsteadily.

In the past few years since she married into the Wu family, Wu Chang has mostly loved her and spoiled her, even if she has a quarrel, she just says a few empty words, and she rarely scolds her, and she has never moved a finger. She was a little confused. looked at Wu Chang in a daze. found that Wu Chang's face was rarely blackened, and his brows were tightly locked. His face was frozen, and his voice was full of the north wind howling, and he said, "What are you making noise?" ”

She was at a loss, her body hurt, and her heart hurt, she wanted to get up, but suddenly saw Wu Chang's body move, as if she was going to help her, for a while she was angry, annoyed and aggrieved, so she simply spread out and sat on the ground and refused to move, just waiting for Wu Chang to coax her as usual, twisting her brows and pouting, and said with a crying hatred: "What is this doing?!" Why didn't the slave recruit a master? ”

Wu Chang paused, his palm turned into a fist, and his fist turned into a palm again, and he suddenly turned his head and walked out, leaving only one sentence, "Stupid woman." ”

Wu Su was dumbfounded, his tears were stuck and he couldn't fall, and he sat stupidly on the cold ground, watching his feet swing around on the curtain......

Seeing off Yin Xun and his party, Xia Xiaoman pushed Nian Liang back to the upper room.

On the way, the maids were asked to follow from afar, and Xia Xiaoman asked Nian Liang in a low voice: "Wu Chang's matter...... Are you ready to ......? ”

She also said at first that he was going to give the drawings to Wu Chang, and she scolded him in her heart, who knew that he was just pretending to be polite, and finally took back the drawings, and then cooperated with her to test Wu Chang, presumably he also had a plan in his heart.

In fact, she also knew that this wheelchair technology could not last long, as soon as the genuine version came out and made money, the pirated version would immediately follow, speaking of which, she was only earning the "freshest" first money, "the freshest" to sell "the most gold", if you do a long-term in the future, look at technology and innovation, the profit margin will be much smaller. It's a shame that Wu Chang is afraid that they will know that she has sold it to a Tatar trader, and there are few places in Daqin that do this, so she has taken away the first one with the largest profits, and it is not completely cut off from her wealth.

However, Wu Chang took the first step to sell her ideas for money, where could she be willing! grinding his teeth, he just wanted not to ask Wu Chang to spit out the silver, but also to rectify him, so as to smooth his own breath.

Of course, this is just childlike anger, she knows in her heart that she is just thinking about it, and this matter mainly depends on the attitude of the young man.

Nian Liang was silent for a while when he heard this, and said, "You are clever." ”

"Huh?" His tone was flat, Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a while, he couldn't tell the difference between praise and disapproval, and he didn't know what to reply.

I only heard Nian Liang sigh, and said a little helplessly: "It's good to be able to shake him." When he first came, he couldn't move him, so he only told him to rein in his hands and feet and behave in a proper manner. After Qingying took a look at Shoutang last year, he was looking for someone who understood medicine and was proper...... "His words gradually became vague, in his heart, he still hoped that nothing happened, but if something came out......

Xia Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, listening to his words before, he thought that he wanted Qing Ying, who knew medicine, to go to Wu Chang, but he felt that it was very unreliable. It's not that she followed the local customs and accepted feudal ideas. I just think that although there are strong women like the fifth grandmother in this era, it has not yet opened up to the extent that a maid can go out and be the master and the plenipotentiary representative of the place to take care of the shop. Now it sounds like he wants to insert an undercover agent in last year's Shoutang, and secretly select a newcomer to replace Wu Chang.

I couldn't move Wu Chang for a while. She grinded her teeth. That's it, instead of hoping that someone will spit out the money, it is better to open a wheelchair factory now. She asked tentatively: "If Wu Chang finds a carpenter to work in two days, then the wheelchair trade ......?"

"Manniang. He interrupted her directly. He said, "There is no shortage of silver now!" Wait for the eldest sister to come over tomorrow and ask her about the situation in Meizhou. ”

Xia Xiaoman stuck out his tongue. But she was in a hurry. turned to think of Nian Liang asked her to look at the account of Yashan Villa, at her current level...... "That, let me follow the account of Yashan Villa again...... Let me see if there is a proper person? ”

Nian Liang smiled and said: "Yin Da is very safe, my grandmother said that everything can be entrusted to him, Yashan Villa is nothing." Tell you to go. It's because you're in charge of the inner house at the moment, and we only have these two inputs, so you naturally have to take care of it. Although I can't take it now, let's follow it and take it over, and others will be dissatisfied or have something to say. If the future ......" thinking about the future, his heart suddenly darkened. sighed, but didn't say it at all.

Xia Xiaoman pondered for a moment his half of the "future" words, but to no avail. Let her be a housekeeper...... She sighed, although she is now also taking Lala to learn the housekeeper, but firstly, she doesn't care, and secondly, there are green cherry blossoms on the left and right. There are not many people who use her to directly intervene in the distribution of land affairs.

The housekeeper is a university question. Grace and power are not something that everyone can do. Moreover, there are so many trivial things...... For example, how to place those things now; how to arrange accommodation for people; how Zhuangzi came to distribute the work and how much money was paid per month; These two days to give gifts everywhere, how to prepare gifts; It's spring again, and it's time to cut the family's new clothes......

Her head is big, it is better to let her be a transparent concubine, serving a person all day long, now, she feels that she is "serving" a large family, a "servant of the people"......=_=|||

Why do so many people want to cross over to become the housewife?! With rights come obligations! Where is the servant of the people good local! (╯_╰)

I went back to the main courtyard. Look at the empty plaque. Xia Xiaoman reminded Nian to forgive: "If you have time, you should come up with the names of each courtyard first, otherwise it will be inconvenient to speak." ”

Nian Liang nodded and said, "I've already thought about it." Go back and write it out so that people can chisel it. ”

As he spoke, he entered the upper room, and there were already people cleaning up here. Meizhou itself is warm, Wu Xuan is afraid that the little master will come from the north, the house is used to being warm, and he can't endure the spring cold, so he took the first step to ask someone to gather the hot wall for a few days in advance, and they came to close the smoke cage again, so the room is very warm at this time.

Nian forgave the door and noticed the heat, and his first reaction was to ask Xia Xiaoman: "How has the geothermal change over there is my aunt?" Did the stove send over? ”

Xia Xiaoman looked at him like that, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Over there, Mrs. Auntie and Uncle Ji's yards have been changed, and Miss Cousin's is still changing, and Miss Cousin will live in Mrs. Aunt's courtyard these days." The courtyard of the people below has not moved. We've all changed it here, and the stove won't work. Only a few were kept, and the rest was brought over there. ”

Nian Liang nodded, and the maid widened his coat, and only said, "It's good if you can't freeze." He was tired from sitting in a wheelchair, and he was a little sleepy now, so he went to bed and lay down, saying that he wanted to sleep for a while, and ordered Shen Zheng (four o'clock in the afternoon) to wake him up, so that he could pack up and go to the feast.

Xia Xiaoman and Qing Ying placed him on the bed, originally to go out, but suddenly remembered something and asked Qing Ying: "How do those people in the village arrange errands?" ”

Qing Ying smiled helplessly and pointed to the bed on the ground. Xia Xiaoman raised his eyebrows, went over to tease the tent and pushed Nian forgiveness: "That, don't sleep first, ask something, I'll do it - how to arrange the errand of the Zhuang Shangren?" ”

Nian Liang refused to open his eyes, and only said: "The person chosen by Yin Da Guan should be worry-free, first ask what he did in the village before, and you look at the arrangement." Ask my aunt if there are enough people, and give a few more to the past. ”

Xia Xiaoman frowned and said, "Then count our people or the people of the Ji family?" ”

Nian Liang remembered Ji Song's temper, sighed, and said, "I originally thought that we would get the monthly money here, and let them go over to help." However, my cousin's temperament is afraid that he will not be willing. You go over and ask your aunt what she means, if it doesn't work, just ask Wu Xuan to find someone over there to talk to them. ”

Xia Xiaoman answered, and was about to get up, when he suddenly saw a picker coming in. When Cai Shu came in, he saw that there was half a curtain on the bed, and Xia Xiaoman sat on the edge of the bed, so he was a little embarrassed, walked over and blessed his body, and asked in a low voice. Xia Xiaoman smiled: "The sixth master didn't sleep, what do you have to say?" ”

Cai Shu said with a smile: "Fang Cai Ye and the second grandmother are in the front hall, the slave and maid dare not go over and ask, which yard the second grandmother is placed in, and ask the master and the second grandmother to show it, and the slave and maid will ask someone to clean it up." ”

Xia Xiaoman is stuck, and now that her treatment has improved, she should have her own yard, but although she is a housekeeper, she still doesn't know where her yard is, and she has to be the head of the household. She thought to herself for a while, just walked this circle, regardless of the scenery, it seems that the second small courtyard in the east has a good geographical location, the front of the courtyard is next to the newly penetrated door to the Ji family, and the back is next to the east side door, which is convenient for the Ji family to sneak out in the past. She turned her head to look at Nian Liang, thinking about how to ask for the small courtyard on the east side to herself.

This turn of the head was startled, and Nian Liang, who had been drowsy with his eyes closed, his eyes were round at this time, and he looked like he was looking at her, and he didn't seem to be thinking about it, and he didn't know what to think.

Xia Xiaoman rolled his eyes, patted his chest, and cursed in his heart, but he had to laugh at this request, and said: "Sixth master, I just took a look, the courtyard on the east side is close to the Ji family, and it's not convenient for me to go over if there is anything to do, you see ......"

Nian Liang's eyes fell on her this time, but he only glanced at it, then closed his eyes again, and said, "Man Niang is in the east wing of the main courtyard." ”。.。
