"Out of sight!" Gong Xichu replied with certainty, but he was just a little troubled.

Li Xianling looked at him and sighed, "If Grandpa knew that you used the art of war he taught on a woman, he might be angry!" ”

Gongxi Chu's eyes widened, "Nonsense, when did I use the art of war on her?" ”

"Didn't you?" Li Xianling squinted at him, "Didn't you lead her into an unfamiliar environment just so that you could do whatever you wanted?" What is this trick called? It's called 'luring the enemy deeper', right? ”

"That's it, I'll call you next time I fight!" Gongxi Chu snorted coldly.

At this time, the door of the study opened, and a maid in a turquoise gown came in with a teapot and refilled Gongxi Chu.

"Green Luo!" Li Xianling suddenly opened his mouth to stop the girl.

"Your Excellency!" Lu Luo hung his head and squatted at Li Xianling.

Li Xianling turned to Gongxi Chu and said, "What do you think of this girl?" Yu Shi prepared, you can take it back in a while! ”

Gong Xichu glanced at the girl's ring, "I didn't see anything except my hair and chin." ”

"Look up." Li Xianling was a little angry, didn't Ah Chu raise the bar! The maid ring in his house is also carefully selected, he is really picky!

Lu Luo raised his head slightly, still lowering his eyes.

"It's not bad, the plate is bright and smooth, Ah Haoyan is not shallow!"

Li Xian Ling stood up suddenly, his face was red, and he said angrily: "What are you talking about? Turned out all the black words of the rivers and lakes! Besides, what is my good fortune? This is prepared for you by Yu's, I haven't even touched it! ”

"Alright, man! I know it all! Gongxi Chu got up and patted Li Xianling's shoulder irregularly, "But we are brothers anyway, so don't give me a green hat." With that, he walked away leisurely.

"Gong Xichu!" Li Xian shouted angrily, and suddenly saw that the person who had just gone out came back again, "You ......"

"I just took the horse away!" Gong Xichu looked at his angry appearance and smiled suddenly, "If you are really angry, come and beat me, don't sulk yourself!" ”

"You ......" Li Xian Ling saw that the people had finished talking and left, and he was so angry that he spun around in place, shouting 'reckless man' in his mouth! When he raised his eyes, he saw that Yahuan Luluo was still standing in the room, and waved his hand impatiently, "Get out!" ”

Lu Luo hurriedly squatted down and retreated.

The more Li Xianling thought about it, the more angry he became, he couldn't approve any official documents, and returned to the back house to find his wife Yu Shi to complain.

Yu is a gentle Jiangnan woman, and she has been listening to her husband-in-law finish speaking before serving him a cup of tea, "It's good that Xianggong has a clear conscience!" ”

"Of course I'm not ashamed, but I don't understand, where can a divorced woman make him reluctant to give up? If I let my grandfather know, I can't say that I didn't take good care of him? The more Li Xianling spoke, the more congested he became, knowing that he didn't care about it, so he let Gong Xichu continue to squat in prison.

Yu Shi thought for a while and said, "Xu is that woman's means, do you want me to summon her to meet?" ”

"No, you don't." Gongxi Chu snorted coldly, "I don't believe that Ah Chu can really marry that woman!" ”

——

Hua Ronghua still felt a little unreal when he returned home, and he couldn't imagine that he would find a job like this.

Widow Jiang closed the door and didn't go back to her house, but followed Hua Ronghua to her room, "That, Feng Yaren is here today, you are not at home." ”

"Oh." Hua Ronghua responded, looked at Widow Jiang, who was a little uncomfortable, hesitated, and said, "Come in and sit." ”

"Hey, okay." Since the last time Hua Ronghua said the wrong thing, the two of them have been a little awkward until now, Widow Jiang walked into the house and thought that she was a little embarrassed about what she had done, so she apologized first, "That, I'm sorry, Sister Hua." ”

"Huh? What's wrong? Hua Ronghua was a little surprised, what does it mean to apologize this time?

"Well, today Feng Yaren came to do a job, saying that there is a dyeing workshop that lacks a chores, and I originally wanted to take the two of us to have a look, but you are not at home, so I will go alone."

Widow Jiang thought for a while and said, "Sister Hua, why do you always go out these two days?" If you're at home, maybe it's yours! However, don't be discouraged, maybe next time Feng Yaren will find a better job! ”

Hua Ronghua was stunned for a moment, oh, why did he rush today, if it was a day earlier, it would have been done! Unwillingly, he asked again, "Then how much is your salary?" ”

"Three hundred in January, and there will be a meal at noon!" Widow Jiang said with some pride, "This is already quite a lot in the county." ”

It is indeed a lot, Hua Ronghua remembered that Aunt He's salary was only 200 at the beginning, and she had to do all the cooking, laundry and housework.

After talking for a while, Widow Jiang had forgotten the unpleasantness at the beginning, and couldn't help but ask Hua Ronghua, "What have you been doing these days?" Run out every day! ”

"I'm looking for a job, too." Hua Ronghua said with a smile.

Widow Jiang was stunned and asked, "Which tooth man did you find it through?" Did you find it? ”

"A friend found it for me, and I found it."

"What to do? How much does it cost? "Widow Jiang felt a little uncomfortable, since someone helped you find a job, why didn't you take her with you? Thinking about it again, he also took advantage of Hua Ronghua's absence to rob the work of dyeing cloth, so it was not good to say anything.

"It's a helper for the chef, and the salary is about the same as yours." Hua Ronghua said directly: "But there is one more thing I have to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?" Widow Jiang was pondering how much worse Hua Ronghua said, and when she heard her say something, she asked directly.

"The place where I work is quite far away from the county seat, so I have to live there......"

Before she finished speaking, Widow Jiang's face fell, "Hey, Sister Hua, when you rented my house, you said that you would live for a year, and it was clearly written in black and white, and I won't refund the money to you!" ”

Hua Ronghua choked, did she say she wanted to check out? This ginger widow changed her face too quickly.

"I didn't say check out." Hua Ronghua said, "If I can't do it there, I have to come back!" ”

Widow Jiang also felt that her attitude just now was a little too anxious, and hurriedly said: "That's not it, I have to leave a nest for myself!" ”

As soon as the words came out, she felt as if she was cursing people to work, and Widow Jiang smiled wryly, "That, I'll go back to the house first if it's okay, you can pack your things." ”

Human nature is like this, if she is not willing to give people back money, Hua Ronghua doesn't care too much, she said while sending Widow Jiang out: "Sister Jiang, I'll leave tomorrow morning, you can help me watch my house, I don't know when I will come back." ”

"Hey, don't worry." Widow Jiang agreed, and emphasized, "However, I will come back late after work, and you will have to find me in time for you." ”

"Okay, I got it."

The next day, Hua Ronghua came to the place where he met Huang Zhuangtou yesterday with his luggage and a big burden he packed, and he was already waiting there.

"Miss Xiaohua." Huang Zhuangtou smiled and took the luggage she was carrying.

Hua Ronghua shook his somewhat sore arm and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, didn't you say that you can just call me Xiaohua?" ”

Huang Zhuangtou just smiled and didn't speak, and the two went out of the city and got on an ox cart and returned to Zhuangzi.

"That, uncle, is the steward here?" Seeing that the ox cart was about to enter Zhuangzi, Hua Ronghua suddenly became a little nervous.

"No, it's going to take two or three days." That's what Steward Li said to Huang Zhuangtou yesterday.

"So, what does this steward like to eat? Light or heavy mouth? Is there anything taboo? Hua Ronghua wanted to inquire about the inside information first, so as not to make another taboo when the time came.

"I don't know about this." Huang Zhuangtou was a little embarrassed.

The big cow driving in front of him suddenly turned around and whispered, "I like wine." ”

"Huh?" Hua Ronghua didn't react for a while.

Huang Zhuangtou scolded unceremoniously, "What did the stinky boy say?" ”

was scolded in front of the woman, Da Niu's face turned red all of a sudden, and he was a little unconvinced, and he said with a stiff neck: "I listened to the doorman who guarded the door when I was waiting for you." ”

"Okay, okay, you shut up for me, I won't take you next time I say anything." Huang Zhuangtou yelled at his nephew a few words, looked at Hua Ronghua carefully, and relieved himself when he saw that she was just frowning and didn't say anything.

While talking, the ox cart entered Zhuangzi, the big cow went to unload the cart, and Huang Zhuangtou helped Hua Ronghua send the luggage to the small courtyard.

Huang Zhuangtou stood at the door and said, "That, Miss Xiaohua, anyway, this courtyard is empty now, you can see where you want to live, we have cleaned all the houses." ”

"I'll just live in the wing next to the stove house." Just kidding, I'm not the master, this is not my own home, can I still live in the main house?

Hua Ronghua took the luggage, thanked Huang Zhuangtou, and went to the West Wing.

This small courtyard is a bit similar to the small courtyard house of the Lu family, but there are only two wings, and the stove room is built alone. The west wing room is next to the stove room, so Hua Ronghua chose a room south of the west wing.

The house was indeed cleaned, the windows were covered with thick paper, the roof of the shed was hung with white paper, the room looked very bright, bypassing the partition door, there was a shelf bed in the corner, the blue curtain had been hung, and there were round tables, square stools and clothes boxes on the floor, which looked better than where she lived.

"Girl, I'm here to bring you a charcoal basin." As the words fell, Mrs. Huang walked in with a charcoal basin, "It's cold in this room, burn some charcoal to warm up." ”

Hua Ronghua felt that the temperature in the room immediately went up, and looked at the red charcoal basin and couldn't help sighing, "This charcoal is really good, not only is it hot, but there is no smoke." ”

Aunt Huang smiled, "That's not it, it's because the new steward is coming, and our master specially allocated the silver frost charcoal, this charcoal is resistant to burning and has not smoked, but it is very expensive." ”

Hua Ronghua was taken aback, "Since it's for the new manager, why did you bring it to me?" ”

"It's okay, the steward has already ordered that silver frost charcoal is used in this courtyard." Aunt Huang added a few more pieces of charcoal with tongs, "Okay, it's almost in this house, you can add it when it's cold later." ”

"Oh, do you also use this charcoal, auntie?" Hua Ronghua felt as if he had taken a big advantage, and he was a little uneasy.

"Where can we use this charcoal, we burn the kang just like the people in the village!"

"Ah, you also have a kang here?"

Aunt Huang smiled, "Why not, how convenient the kang is, even cooking with heating, and it is convenient to burn firewood, but it is too buried by a fire, so those masters are not willing to use it!" ”
