Uncle Zhang's unexpected attitude not only shocked Aunt Zhang, but even Wen Yi was very surprised. Her heart moved, and she turned her head to look at her grandmother, only to see Mrs. Lu sitting calmly on it, with no surprise on her expression.

Although Aunt Zhang was stunned by her husband's scolding, she was used to having the upper hand, so she quickly reacted, gritted her teeth and grabbed him and scolded: "Have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?!" Dare to say such a thing to me?! ”

Uncle Zhang is also used to being pressed on his head by his wife, hearing her say this, he subconsciously dodged back, Wen Yi saw this, and said "not good", Mrs. Lu frowned and reprimanded: "Presumptuous! What kind of place are you supposed to be?! People who are dozens of years old have even forgotten the rules, it can be seen that I usually indulge you too much, so that the slaves and maids in the family have no sense of proportion! ”

Only then did Aunt Zhang realize that this was not the room where the couple lived, but in front of the master. Although she likes to rely on the old and sell the old to bully the young girls and boys, after all, she was born in a family that has been serving for generations, and she knows that even if the sixth room is down, Mrs. Lu and Miss Nine are still her masters. Teaching her husband in front of her master is an unruly thing, not to mention that her husband has just received an order from the old lady, and she openly drinks in front of her master to make her husband disobey the order, which is simply a clear opposition to the master! She's so confused, no matter how anxious she is, she can't mess around!

She rolled her eyes a few times, and said with a smile: "The old lady is not angry, and the little one is also anxious...... The little man is honest, if you ask him to catch a car, deliver a letter, and buy lamp oil and firewood, he will definitely do it properly! But if you make him a steward...... He's not that material! If you really let him take charge of Xintian, and he was deceived and coaxed by the tenant helpers, and gave away all the production in the land to others, or a trivial matter, I am afraid that he will be confused for a while, and call people to coax the land you bought with great difficulty, what can you do at that time?! ”

Wen Yi sneered slightly, no matter how stupid Uncle Zhang is, he will not be stupid to this point, not to mention that the title deed is in the hands of his grandmother, no matter how confused Uncle Zhang is, he will not be deceived by others, if he is stupid to this level, he is not only in charge, but I am afraid that he will not even be able to do the daily work of listening to errands!

She quietly looked at Uncle Zhang, and from his expression, she could see that he couldn't stand his wife's slander, and stomped his feet again and again: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" Am I that stupid?! His eyes couldn't help but look at Mrs. Lu, and his eyes were full of fear.

Old Madam Lu smiled faintly: "Zhang's family, you said too much. Although Lao Zhang is more honest, he has never made a mistake in handling errands. Although he is not clever, the person who manages the land will inevitably be bad if he is too clever! The annual production is deducted by the steward's gram ranging from one to four or five percent, and I drink the northwest wind?! Our six rooms are not as big as others, and we can't afford to toss, so our stewards should be honest. ”

"Yes, yes, the old lady is wise! You're right! The little one will definitely do things honestly, and will never lose the master's money! Uncle Zhang saw that Mrs. Lu had no intention of changing her mind, her face was full of joy, and she knelt down and kowtowed again, no matter how his wife dragged him, secretly pinched him, and stepped on him, he ignored it, so anxious that Aunt Zhang secretly stomped her feet, and said in anticipation: "Old lady...... Think again...... It's not a little modesty, it's really ......"

As if she hadn't seen Aunt Zhang's movements, Mrs. Lu smiled and called Uncle Zhang to get up, encouraged her again, beat a few more words, and waved her hand at the end: "Go down, I will persuade your daughter-in-law, even if the master is generous, she must remember the rules in front of the master." It's fine to be in front of me now, but if it's in the presence of the master of the other room another day, it's the same, and I won't be able to protect her. ”

Uncle Zhang bowed his head and answered, vigorously pulled his wife, and withdrew.

Wen Yi hurriedly walked up to her grandmother and asked, "Can Uncle Zhang really subdue Aunt Zhang?" I'm afraid that he will be soft-hearted...... Old Madam Lu waved her hand: "No matter how honest he is, he is also a man who supports his family." He should not do this errand, so he can only continue to be a coachman, occasionally helping his daughter-in-law to carry and carry, chopping wood and burning fires, but he is just a handyman, and he has no children, and when he is old in the future, he can no longer live, and he and his wife move to the good hall opened by the clan for the old servants, but they can only get food and clothing. But in response to this errand, he is the steward, even if the property in charge is far away from Gu Zhuang, when he returns to Gu Zhuang, he is also a decent person on an equal footing with other stewards, not to mention that he is the first steward of our six rooms in the past few years, and when he is old in the future, the reward and pension money he gets are not the same as those of ordinary servants. He's almost forty years old, and if he misses this time, maybe he won't have a chance to climb up, and he's not a fool, how could he not?! ”

Wen Yi said embarrassedly: "It's still grandmother who can see people accurately, I see that Uncle Zhang has always listened to Aunt Zhang's words, but he is a coward, and he will not dare to go against Aunt Zhang's wishes, but I don't know that he can still carry it in his heart and know what to do." ”

Mrs. Lu said: "You are prejudiced in your heart because you saw their husband and wife abandon their husband and wife in a dream. In fact, he is still loyal, otherwise I would not have kept him alone when I dismissed the house slaves. She sighed, "Nowadays, even if they are born in a family, they may not all be reliable, they are uninformed, short-sighted, and sell their masters for a little benefit, but they don't know that the slaves of the sellers are like pigs and dogs in the eyes of others, and if they want to join the rich and noble families as servants, they don't even think about it." When your father was gone, everyone in the family was panicked, and I was afraid that something would happen to them, so I drove out all the restless people who went around camping, and a few more honest people who had been waiting for many years were sent to Xiaosoft and let them fend for themselves. Only Lao Zhang is the only son of the old housekeeper used by your grandfather, and the old housekeeper martyred your grandfather, how can I drive his son out? What's more, Lao Zhang is too honest, his talent is mediocre, and he can only do rough work when he goes to other houses, just looking at his face, I have to keep him. Hoping how capable he is, it's a delusion, at most he can only keep it, but he won't sell his master. Even if he is like in your dreams, he really votes for another family, and it will not harm you. ”

Wen Yi bowed her head to be taught, it seems that she still has a lot to learn. Because she always remembered in her heart that Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang turned her back on her and went to a long house, she saved the intention of driving people away as soon as she had the opportunity. If it weren't for no one to call them on weekdays, they wouldn't be tolerated everywhere. But thinking about it carefully, whether Uncle Zhang was in his previous life or in this life, he had never done anything to hurt her except for throwing himself into the long house, and most of the reasons for throwing himself into the long house were because he listened to Aunt Zhang's words. If she has a way to make Uncle Zhang loyal to the sixth room, wouldn't it be better than driving people away? After all, he is an old man who has been waiting in the sixth room for many years, and if he looks for someone else, he may not be able to find someone more loyal than him!

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's my granddaughter who thinks badly." Uncle Zhang is still very reliable, but his granddaughter is only afraid that he will have soft ears, so she was persuaded by Aunt Zhang for two days and changed her mind again. "It's a pity, why would Uncle Zhang marry such a wife? This thought flashed through her mind, and she was startled by herself, her face flushed, and she recited "Amitabha" in her heart.

Seeing her blushing, Mrs. Lu thought that she was ashamed of her words, so she smiled and said, "Lao Zhang is not so confused. Most of the Zhang family saw that this place was not as prosperous as Guzhuang, and it was too far away from Guzhuang, so life must be hard, so they didn't want to lead Zhang on an errand. But she used to persuade Lao Zhang for his own good, but now it makes people feel that she is beating herself up. A fool will let go of the stewardship and be a coachman and handyman with peace of mind! Lao Zhang's Lao Tzu is our housekeeper, but he didn't even earn a long follower, are you really willing to be him?! ”

After thinking about it, Wen Yi smiled knowingly. Later, when she met Aunt Zhang in the yard, her face was red, with three fingerprints faintly, and her feet were a little lame, so she knew that the other party was most likely beaten. After thinking about it, she went back to the room and took a bottle of medicinal oil that she had prepared, handed it to Aunt Zhang and said, "Take it and wipe it, don't be confused in the future, Uncle Zhang knows that it's not a good thing to be motivated?" Now that you are also a lady in charge, isn't it more decent than being a cook? ”

Aunt Zhang didn't know what to mutter, so she took the medicinal oil angrily, and Uncle Zhang saw it outside the door, so he shouted, "Miss is talking to you?!" Do you understand the rules?! Aunt Zhang trembled, obediently saluted Wen Yi and thanked her, and then went back to the room in a gloomy manner. Wen Yi was dumbfounded, but it was also a good thing that Uncle Zhang had a rare husband, so she had to go back to the house with a dry smile.

Uncle Zhang took office on the same day and discussed the matter of planting wheat with the steward of the Nie family. Wen Yi knew that he was a layman, and it was the first time he was in charge, so he was afraid that he would mess up the errand, so he repeatedly and privately persuaded him to ask the Nie family for advice. Uncle Zhang was excited, but also knew that he had many shortcomings, so he honestly agreed, and was very humble in front of the Nie family steward, and people were happy to teach him to help him. In this way, the wheat seeds were delivered in turn within two days, and even the manpower for sowing seeds was also solved by the Nie family. Uncle Zhang took the hired workers to work in the fields under the mountain for three full days before planting the autumn wheat, and then began to tidy up the scattered land on the side of the mountain and on the mountain.

Wen Yi naturally knew that this was mostly the eldest cousin's suggestion, and she was grateful, knowing that he had settled in a big courtyard in the village, so she found a way to collect some fresh melons and vegetables, made them with her own hands, and invited him to taste them.

Of course, Mrs. Lu must be the first one, she ate the dishes made by her granddaughter, and she was very surprised, and couldn't help asking: "When did you learn to cook?" Could it be that it's also in a dream?! ”

The Gu family's boudoir is just teaching some skins, as long as the Gu family's daughters can make a few small dishes at their in-laws' house, it is enough, and no one thinks that they need to cook for many years. Wen Yi's cooking skills were only seriously practiced after becoming a monk, so naturally he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to say: "It's in my dream, and then I will see how Ziying and Aunt Zhang behave when they cook, and I secretly remember it in my heart and learn it slowly." In fact, the granddaughter will only have a few side dishes, and she doesn't know if it's good or not, so don't laugh at grandmother. ”

Lu Shi smiled: "This is very good, how old are you?" It's better than your aunts and sisters! I sighed in my heart, I didn't find my granddaughter so smart before, if I had paid attention early, maybe I could have taught more things, but now she delayed the child! It seems that children should be trained more.

Wen Yi didn't know what thoughts were turning in her grandmother's heart, so she only glanced at a few vegetarian dishes on the table, and whispered, "My granddaughter can only cook vegetarian, so I really don't dare to cook meat...... Grandmother, don't be angry......"

Mrs. Lu didn't care, while tasting her granddaughter's filial piety, she was thinking in her heart about how to teach her.

Wen Yi saw that her grandmother and cousin were eating happily, and she was overjoyed, and saw that Aunt Zhang was busy looking for a house to live in for a long time in the village, and Zi Ying's family came to visit, so she simply took over her grandmother's three meals. In her previous life, she was accustomed to acting modestly, even when she was courteous to the farmers, she didn't think there was anything herself, but in the eyes of the villagers, it was very remarkable. The daughter of a big family treats them so politely, what a rare good girl! She is worthy of being the daughter of a famous family! It can't be compared with their small family!

As a result, everyone treated Wen Yi more and more respectfully, and her words and actions added a little cordiality. Wen Yi didn't understand anything, Zhuang Shang, regardless of men, women, young and old, was willing to teach her, and a few peasant women knew that she liked to eat sauce made of small dried fish, so they came to tell her how to do it. When she went to inspect the fields, some old farmers told her how to take care of the crops in the fields, when to water them, when to remove insects, how to treat the crops when they were sick, and how to grow the melons and vegetables well...... There are all kinds of things, not only Wen Yi listens attentively, but even Uncle Zhang has benefited a lot.

Under the guidance and reminders of several old farmers, Wen Yi suggested to Nie Heng that the thin land on the gentle slope is best planted with sweet potatoes and other things, with high yield, and is not afraid of drought, and it is easy to wait. Nie Heng agreed with a smile, and immediately ordered someone to buy potato seedlings.

Wen Yi was not very relieved, afraid that her suggestion would cause her eldest cousin to lose all her money, so she consulted several experienced farmers in a row, and they all said that sweet potatoes were easy to grow, and several families in the village had planted them, so she was a little relieved.

Around the autumn equinox, it is the busy season of autumn farming. The village and the mountains are so busy that even the cold mountain breeze can't make people feel cooler. Wen Yi took out an old dress and put it on, reported it to her grandmother, and went to the mountain to watch Uncle Zhang command the hired workers to turn over the vegetable patch, occasionally reminding a few words, lest Uncle Zhang forget the old man's words for a while and make a mistake.

She stood on the hillside, looking at the neat farmland below the mountain, and then at the open space on the mountain that had been prepared for planting trees, and her heart rose with a deep joy, as if she had seen the situation of the field in good harvest.

On the high slope dozens of zhang away, Liu Dongxing held the thick tree trunk in his hand, looked at Wen Yi with his head, and was silent.

Luo Mingmin lazily leaned on the mountain rock not far behind him and said with a strange smile: "Sympathy for the same disease!" You are so fateful, and you are so attentive, why don't you go over and say a few words to people? Although you are a little younger, you just have to wait a few more years, and it is rare to talk and act in a temper similar to you, right? ”

Liu Dongxing glanced back at him angrily, then looked back again, and said in a deep voice: "I'm just surprised, not only does she not complain, but she is also happily busy and wants to revitalize the family business." I want to know...... What will she do in the future...... I'm going to keep looking at her, watching her...... What will life be like......"
