Chapter Eighty-Six: Accepting Disciples
Li Zheng is not in vain here, the Gan family released such a wind, he knows that it is not good, if the whole village is surnamed Zheng, he is not afraid of this trick, but the problem is that now the village is not only Xin Zheng, as long as the surname Zhou and the surname Yan want this apprentice quota, he is a little dangerous in this Li Zheng.
He went into the city to find Steward Zhou, told him about the Gan butcher, and wanted him to come forward to the village to verify him, after all, he said that the Gan family had offended Zhou Yuanwai, and they definitely didn't believe it, but Steward Zhou came forward and said that he didn't like the Gan family, and they still had to weigh it in their hearts.
"Why are you so useless? Dealing with a rootless person is timid, and let him rebel against an army. Steward Zhou said disgustedly, "If you put a fire on his house at night and burn it clean, who else will stand up for them?" ”
"Put, set fire?" Li Zheng was a little surprised, he just wanted the Gan family to be unhappy, it was best to stay away from Maple Village, and his family's dozens of acres of land could be re-released for others to buy. He hadn't thought about murder and arson, and he didn't dare to think about it, this thing was going to show his deeds, and he himself was a death.
"Don't dare, don't dare, what else do you dare to do?" Steward Zhou said, "You can figure it out by yourself, don't bother me." ”
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Yuan made a whole deer banquet, invited the well-known private chef Lady Jiang Niangzi to come, starting from the deer, holding a knife, neat and smooth, everyone watched her solve the deer, just like watching people sing and dance, smoke and forget worries.
Fresh deer blood into the wine, a body of venison divided, stewed, stewed, roasted four ways to eat the guests and hosts happy.
Zhou Yuanwai was happy, and Yuan Xinqiao looked at the list in the account room and twisted his eyebrows, "Just that deer, it cost four hundred taels?" ”
Steward Zhou complained when he heard this, "Isn't it?" Originally, I wanted to reason with him, not to mention eating deer, that is, tiger meat can eat two, but I didn't expect the second housekeeper to come and not look at the situation, and hurriedly said that the master was waiting for the deer to have a banquet. ”
"The man was even more arrogant when he heard this, and said that no one should be missing, and I couldn't delay the master's business, so I could only buy it for a lot of money." Steward Zhou said, "Fortunately, this banquet is well organized, the lord is happy, and the money is worth it." ”
"Didn't you say that the villagers of Maple Village shot the deer? Why is it more expensive to sell it to our home? Is this a big eater? Yuan Xinqiao asked.
"It's also unfortunate, that family is not the original villager of Maple Village, it is an outsider, and the people are very arrogant, I heard that Li Zheng can't do anything about him." Steward Zhou said.
"I don't believe it, can a lizheng still be suppressed by outsiders?" Yuan Xinqiao asked, it's not that she is reluctant to make money, but she was wronged and slaughtered, and she is uncomfortable no matter how she thinks about it.
"Are the elders of the clan watching, and they don't know how to come forward to teach and teach things that don't know what to do." Yuan Xinqiao said.
"The elders of the clan easily did not move, and the little ones immediately went back to the village to tell the wife what they meant, and their old guys, who were worshiped by the Zhou family, should also come out and walk around." Steward Zhou said.
"Wait, who said you should go back and tell me what I mean? What do I mean? Yuan Xinqiao raised his eyebrows and asked him, "Even the old man doesn't care much about the affairs of the village, I'm a foreign wife, for the sake of sesame, let people ask the elders to come out and call the shots, is this a good thing to say?" ”
Steward Zhou said that this is not the case, it is too angry, and the wife should teach them a lesson.
"Compared to them, I want to teach you a lesson, don't report anything to the house if there is any trouble in the village, whether he hunted a deer or a tiger, does it have anything to do with us? The lord wants to eat a deer and a tiger, although he goes to the street to buy it, the real price is clear, and he buys it happily, why send money to the village, he is angry. Yuan Xinqiao stared at Steward Zhou and said.
"I know that you are used to using chicken feathers as arrows and going around in the name of the master, I don't say that it doesn't mean that I don't know, but if you want to use my name to go outside to do bad things, then you are wrong." Yuan Xinqiao said, "No matter whose son you are or whose face you have, I, Yuan Xinqiao, can still speak in this family." ”
"Where did the wife say, even if she gave the little ones a few more guts, the little ones didn't dare to use the name of the old lady to do bad things outside." Steward Zhou said aggrievedly, but said in his heart, first of all, he said it well, how could he turn his face all of a sudden, this woman's heart, the needle under the sea, it is really true.
But if you don't let it be passed on, he won't say it? How is it possible, he didn't go back to pass the word, only showed a little tone, saying that his wife felt that the Gan family didn't know what to do, and called a high price to come to the Zhou family, but the wife didn't care, this obedient and listening, the Zhou family knew what to do.
The elders of the Zhou family said that women in the clan should not go to the Gan family to learn art.
The villagers, who were still in full swing, calmed down at once, and the clan elder spoke, afraid that there would be something in the back.
The words of the elders of the Zhou family can't control the Yan family, the Gan family finally waited for the first little lady to come in, she was about ten years old, wearing a green jacket skirt, white skin like snow, black and thick eyebrows, big watery eyes, walking in with her head up, not the same as the little lady in the village. Gan Mingli didn't go to the school recently, he watched Xiaoba and them at home, and took a few more glances when he saw someone come in.
"Why are you here alone?" Liu Sanniang asked.
"I'm here to learn art, and you only test me alone, regardless of what others do." The little lady said.
"That being said, yes, but I always want to know if you came here on your own will, or if your family sent you." Liu Sanniang asked.
"My father is not here, my mother gave birth to me, broke my body, and died when I was three years old, and now I live with the nurse and can be my own master." The little lady said, "My surname is Yan, my single name is Wan, and my father is a member of the Yan family, ranking sixth." ”
Yan Liulang, that's a man, Liu Sanniang stood up and said, "Your father is now an official outside, and you are a young lady, how can you come and learn this trick from me." ”
"Since you know that my father is an official outside, you should also know that my mother is his short-lived wife, my father married the daughter of a landlord, and he didn't continue to take the exam, and went to Nanyang County to make up for a teaching, and now the whole family lives there, and I am alone in the old house." Yan Wan said, "I'm not an official lady, and I have to think about my future livelihood." ”
Liu Sanniang really doesn't know this, she didn't live in the village before, and she didn't often gossip with people, at most she knew a few families in the village, but she didn't know anything about the lawsuits in other people's homes.
Liu Sanniang felt a little pity when she heard her life experience, she was a little happy, and she was a little moved, "The kitchen is not what you imagined, dirty and oily, a good little lady, learning embroidery and learning to make clothes is better than learning to cook." ”
"I've been in the kitchen." Yan Wan said, "I know what the kitchen is like. I came here because I sincerely wanted to learn how to cook, so I asked the master to take me as an apprentice. He knelt down as he spoke.
Liu Sanniang helped her up, "You don't need to make this big gift." ”
She called Tang Xiaowen and Gan Shiyi, "This is your senior sister, this is your little junior sister, in the future, the three of you will be the same senior sister, and you should get along like sisters." ”
Yan Wan blinked, this was the appearance of a little lady, "Master, this is going to accept me?" Not a test? ”
"You've passed the test if you can walk in front of me." Liu Sanniang said with a smile.
