The mansion of the Huang family is built day by day, carved beams and painted buildings, white walls and black tiles, and the ground is paved with a color of terrazzo bricks.

The curiosity of the people in the town about the Huang family is getting more and more day by day, and when acquaintances meet, they can't say two words to mention the Huang family's house, this one said: "Yesterday, I saw two big glass mirrors brought in by his family, which are bright!"

The one said: "A few days ago, I saw a few kang screens in my house, and the road was inlaid with gold and silver!"

The news rolled out of the man's mouth, rolled on the man's tongue, grew in a circle and fell into the ears of others, and there were more and more strange sayings, all the rooms were hung with pearl curtains, and what kang was covered with ivory mats

The people in the town were so curious that they couldn't do it, and they looked at Master Huang's family and moved in quickly, hoping that their necks hurt and their eyes were sore.

Aunt Sheng said to Lily: "I have met Master Huang once, and he is also a person with two eyes and one mouth, he was born upright and calm, and he is the same year as my master, but he can talk very well, where is it worth looking forward to?"

She is a person who has seen the world, and she is a neighbor of Master Liu, and she wants to maintain the dignity of Master Liu in the town, if you say that Master Huang is six points powerful, and others say that Master Huang is very powerful, there are only four or five points left in her mouth.

Lily nodded and listened, and echoed: "Although I don't know why that old man Huang came to our town, since he is coming, it can be seen that we are outstanding people here, which attracted him to come close." ”

Qingliu Town has beautiful mountains and rivers, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with good scenery, and the land is naturally spiritual. The outstanding people raised in this place, the first one to be counted as Master Liu, said that Master Huang took a fancy to the outstanding people in Qingliu Town, and that is, the outstanding talents of Master Liu. Aunt Sheng was really happy, and said: "I have seen the difference between you and those shallow eyelids, and you really have vision." She whispered, "This old man Huang is different from my master, he has been an official for two terms, and now he has retired, saying that he is often disturbed in his hometown in Linxian County, and he comes to our town."

Come and hide in the Quiet Miles. Aunt Sheng hadn't revealed the news to anyone else, not because she didn't see Lily's mouth tight and refused to tell her, sure enough, Lily was not very surprised, and she didn't pestering to ask what kind of official Master Huang had done, where he was an official, and how many people in the family were waiting for other things: "The previous drought,

A lot of things don't grow very well, but sweet potatoes are still good. ”

"That's it, I just steamed a pot a while ago and tasted the sweetness!" Aunt Sheng said with a smile, her purple face was full of smiles, "When sweet potatoes don't pick the sky, now we haven't encountered a major drought, if it was left in the northwest twenty or thirty years ago, this thing would be life-saving food." ”

Lily nodded: "I'm only how old I am, I don't know these things, but I know how to make some gadgets delicious." He seemed to say unintentionally, "People in the northwest love sweet potatoes, but we don't seem to like them here." ”

Aunt Sheng laughed: "Such a sweet thing can fill your stomach, how can anyone not like to eat it?"

Lily laughed with Aunt Sheng for a while, there was nothing else to do, the two exchanged a few new recipes, and Lily said goodbye. Aunt Sheng here didn't take Lily's words seriously, went home at night, and told Liu Sheng as a joke: "The one from the Danian family looks smart, but he is actually young, and sometimes he is confused." Then he learned to him the stupid things that Lily said in the daytime, "Our people here don't like to eat, you can talk about it."

It's not funny!"

Liu Sheng didn't laugh along, and hurriedly said, "You say it again?"

Aunt Sheng didn't know the reason, but she studied what she said to Lily during the day, and she figured out that it was wrong: "The first sweet potato in our town was her family, and it would be bluffing to say that she didn't know that sweet potatoes were drought-tolerant and delicious." ”

Liu Sheng patted his stomach and lay on his back on the bed, if he was standing, he should pat his thigh, "I see, it's not that the people in the town don't like to eat sweet potatoes, I'm afraid they don't like to eat noodles!"

Aunt Sheng said: "The noodles sell so well, isn't it Liu Zhong's old immortal?"

The old couple immediately understood that the reason why Lily mentioned sweet potatoes was to euphemistically say that the dividends of the vermicelli workshop were not right.

Lily has quietly handed Liu Zhong's handle to them, whether they are going to remind Liu Zhong to ask him to make up for the loophole, or to take advantage of the loophole to get Liu Zhong down and become the big housekeeper themselves, it's all up to them.

Aunt Sheng smacked her lips: "I was wrong, it turns out that she is very fine." ”

Liu Sheng said: "In my opinion, it is one thing for people to be shrewd, and they can act in a disciplined manner compared to Liu Zhong. Look at him, the first few years were fine, but what has he been like in the past few years? But whenever there is a little benefit, he can't wait to pull it into his own house, and he doesn't want to see who he is.

treats the things of the master's house as his own, and many people will do this at the moment, but Liu Zhong, as the chief housekeeper, once he crosses the line, the stewards below will all be eyeing his position, and they want to pull him down and sit on that seat to take advantage of him.

In the past, there was no big deal, and they had nowhere to tell Liu Zhong if they wanted to sue him, but now it is different: Liu Zhong's son forced the girl to rape first, and Liu Zhong made a ghost on the accounts of the vermicelli shop for personal grudges, and cheated the Song family who wrote the contract.

First, there is no virtue, and second, it damages the reputation of the master's family, how can such a housekeeper be worthy of being a big housekeeper?

Liu Sheng couldn't help but get excited. He and Liu Sheng had no grievances in the past and no enmity in the near future, but when the steward always wanted to climb up, Liu Zhong guarded the position of the housekeeper tightly, and Liu Sheng couldn't touch the edge at all, so he had to take care of the grange, although it was also fat, it was not as good as the scenery of the big housekeeper.

Now that the ready-made handle is here, if Liu Sheng has a little ambition, he will bite Liu Zhong to death and become the big housekeeper himself. Because of Liu Yaowen's matter, Song Haonian has offended Liu Zhong to death, Liu Zhong doesn't say anything on his face, and the noodles shop opened by the two families is also good on the surface, but everyone knows that Liu Zhong is waiting for an opportunity, and he is not allowed to give the Song family a cold meal that day, the Song family's young husband and wife have a shallow foundation,

You have to give him a stunner.

The young couple is closer to Liu Sheng and Aunt Sheng, and since they have made a bad relationship with Liu Zhong, they must maintain the relationship with Liu Sheng and his wife, so there is a saying that Lily hands over the handle.

Liu Sheng and his wife didn't mention how to plan, and the people of Qingliu Town were looking forward to the Huang Juren family, who had a long neck, and finally moved to the town.

On the day of the move, it caused a huge sensation, and the townspeople helped the old and the young to go out to watch his family move, and between the horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and mule carts passed, and the carts were full of household goods, each of which was strong and exquisite, and the paint was extremely bright.

Liu Sanping knew how to do it, pointed to a few things and said: "This is mahogany, this is red sandalwood, that's wenge wood, that's pear wood are all good things!"

When the people next to him heard it, they had more respect for the Huang family. The eyes of the woman's family fell on the colorful materials, and those curtains, table surrounds, cushions, and pillows were all brilliantly embroidered, and embroidered with various fine patterns, many of which had never even been seen, and everyone said: "The same is the master, and the bottom of this house is another."

”

In the end, he has been a two-term official, and he is a little more wealthy than cultivating and reading the heirloom Liufu.

The family has moved to the town, and the official family sent a letter of worship to Liufu, saying that the master of the house moved in three days, and then he would go to Liufu to pay his respects.

Master Liu sent someone to the Huang family to help, help decorate the home, tell them where to fetch water, where to buy vegetables, the Huang family's official family looked at the man-made house in the town, and they were already familiar with it, but they still thanked Liu Zhong for his enthusiasm.

Three days later, two Cuihu Qingshu cars drove directly into Huang's door, and then the gate was closed, and no one outside could inquire about any news.

However, although the owner of the Huang family does not like to see people, the people below always have to go out to buy, but the news came out in half a day, saying that Master Huang and Mrs. Huang lived with a young lady.

"Then the Huang family doesn't have a young master?"

"The young master of the Huang family has already married and had children, inherited the family business in Linxian County, and now this is an old girl, born like a fairy!" This person is well-informed, and he is foaming at the mouth in front of the tofu shop, as if he has seen Miss Huang with his own eyes.

There was a woman on the side who refused to believe it, pointing to the lily and saying, "I don't believe it, that Miss Huang refuses to see people, she can't be ugly, and she doesn't dare to see people." It's just good-looking, can it be better than Danian's?"

The person who spoke before smiled and didn't say anything, Lily didn't expect that she could still pull it in, and said with a smile: "People are official misses, I'm a civilian girl, where can I put it in one place?"

The two families are neighbors, if they get along well in the future, they will naturally meet one day, if they don't get along well, I'm afraid that when Miss Huang gets married, she won't be able to see the pampered young lady of others.

Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and Lily talked about it with Song Haonian in the evening: "How many years have I been married, how can I compare with a girl who is not married?"

Song Haonian kissed her the face, her skin was tender, and a red mark immediately appeared, Song Haonian couldn't stop rubbing the mark, and said in a dumb voice: "I see that you are still a little girl." ”

Lily laughed at him: "It's not too big." ”

"I don't think you're any different from fifteen or sixteen. "Lily lives a comfortable life, and looks younger and more delicate than when she was really fifteen or sixteen.

The two of them made love while talking, the clouds and rain dispersed, and they lingered on the right time, and continued the topic just now: "Reasoning, when a new neighbor moves, he should always send some cakes." Only this Huang family is rich, can people look at us when we send things?"

Song Haonian's hand went down on Lily's back, and said casually: "Look at it or not, our family always has to talk about etiquette, Ming'er will make some cakes and send them, don't worry about anything else." ”

If the Huang family is modest, if they accept the cakes for their own use, if they don't look down on these things, it is nothing for the family to eat, and they always fulfill their family's intentions, and they are not contemptuous of their neighbors.

Lily thinks the same way, their own little life is very good, they never look down on anyone's family, and they don't envy the wealth of other people's families, and they can't raise their heads in front of nobles.

Even if he is a country man, he has to stand up first and have dignity in order to be respected by others.
