11. The Seven Stewards (1st Shift)
"I told my dad that in the future, you will not be a little girl, you will be a steward... You don't have to be in charge, okay? Tang Xianzhi's voice was soft.
"Isn't it okay?"
"Huh?"
"If you don't care about the steward, can you still call it a steward?"
"That's... Do you want to take care of things? ”
"I... I don't want to be in charge. Maybe it won't be able to handle it either. ”
"That..."
"Let's be a little girl... The eldest lady will arrange some tasks for me, then it will be fine. ”
Bai Yan continued to tease the cat.
Tang Xianzhi was stunned for a long time, and walked to his side, his peach blossom eyes drooping slightly, like clear water flowing under the lotus leaves of Tian Tian.
The breeze came slowly, and the green silk on both sides was like smoke and clouds, showing a dusty, fairy-like daughter.
She stroked her hair lightly, and suddenly said, "You... In fact... It's going to go, right? ”
Bai Yan was stunned, "Where am I going?" ”
Tang Xianzhi said: "It's good anywhere, a capable man is going to break through after all, don't see the vastness of this day, the strength of the earth, the vicissitudes of the world, don't measure the sky and the earth with a seven-foot man, you ...... Aren't you aggrieved? ”
Bai Yan said: "Don't be wronged..."
He added, "That's fine." ”
Tang Xianzhi said again: "Are you really willing to marry a spirit sparrow?" The sparrow is just a lowly one..."
Bai Yan said: "I'm still afraid that she won't want to, this morning she also said that she only felt a little distressed when she saw me sitting in Wangshan Pavilion for a day and a night." ”
Tang Xianzhi covered her lips and smiled, "You really don't understand your daughter's thoughts." ”
"Yes..."Bai Yan responded.
Tang Xianzhi said: "I still have some things, so I'll leave first." ”
"Congratulations, Miss." Bai Yan got up and was very polite.
Tang Xianzhi walked away, went far away, and suddenly thought of something.
If... He really doesn't understand his daughter's thoughts, so why doesn't he want to be a steward, but wants to continue to be a little girl?
If he does the stewardship, it will put more pressure on the already stressful sparrow, and make the sparrow feel that he is definitely not worthy of him...
"Actually, that's what you think?"
"Didn't you think that I could also make the sparrow not a maid?"
This sudden realization made the eldest lady cry and laugh.
She seemed to be holding Bai Yan's head to see how his brain grew...
Why does he seem so different from everyone else?
...
...
Night.
Tang Huang, the head of the Tang family, sat in the courtyard.
Tang Xianzhi stood behind him, his hands propped up in his wheelchair.
A fat man with a kind face and ridiculously fat stood opposite, plucking a rosary and talking as he spoke.
The Tang family is in the middle of the road, but it's not that there is nothing left...
Tang Huang passed through Lianyun Village when he broke into the rivers and lakes, which was the pinnacle of his strength realm, and he was also confident to the extreme.
In line with the idea of eliminating harm for the people, he wanted to pick this village, but the two sides did not fight and did not know each other, Tang Huang knew that all the thieves in this Yunzhai were righteous thieves, and even Yunzhai also saw Tang Huang's pride...
Later, Lianyunzhai was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, and Tang Huang at that time had become a merchant because of his madness, and he quietly took in the remnants of Lianyunzhai, a total of twenty-one people.
These twenty-one people are all good hands, but because in the encirclement and suppression war of the imperial court, these twenty-one people were more or less injured, and they have died a lot over the years, and every person who died, Tang Huang gave them a good burial, and he would also sprinkle a glass of good wine on their tombs during the Wangxiang Festival, which can be described as affectionate and impeccable.
Correspondingly, these former Lianyunzhai bandits also changed their minds, loyally followed Tang Huang into business, and became their own families.
However, because of their injuries, the twenty-one people died one after another, and only seven survived in the end.
Although there are only seven, these seven people are the elite of the elite, and they are also the seven stewards of the Tang family.
The Tang family's business is mainly based on "life-sustaining grass", but it is not just selling "life-sustaining grass", but also some other industries have been taken over the years, and the business is not small, and these seven stewards are sitting in seven places for the Tang family.
said that he was in charge, but Tang Huang didn't care about them at all, even those industries outside, but gave them enough freedom, so that they felt as if they were starting a family alone outside the home, without any management.
After a long time, these seven people are called the Tang family's stewards, but in fact, what they have done has nothing to do with the Tang family, and even many people no longer have contact with the Tang family, and it looks as if they have rebelled ungratefully.
Over time, very few people still remember that the Tang family once had seven stewards.
But now...
Sudden change.
But one day, someone returned.
"My eldest brother treats me as a brother, and I will repay him as a brother..."
"If necessary, my eldest brother can get everything about Zhu Bafan."
This return is the "pig monk" Zhu Bafan.
Zhu Bafan has to eat eight meals a day, and the word "Bafan" was jokingly called at first, but later others forgot what his name was.
This Zhu Bafan is sleek, and he eats both black and white dishes very openly, and at this time, he heard that something happened to the Tang family in Jianshan City, so he immediately put down all the affairs in his hand and returned here.
After coming back, he didn't call the head of the family, but directly called the eldest brother, which also showed his thoughts.
"Uncle Zhu..."Tang Xianzhi shouted with a smile.
Zhu Bahan smiled "hehehehe": "It's Xianzhi, it's so big, you were still a doll the last time we met." ”
Tang Huang said: "Brother Bafan, I'm very happy that you can come back, Xianzhi is no longer a little girl, and this Tang family will probably be entrusted to her in the future." So, what you have to say, don't avoid her. ”
Zhu Bafan smiled for a while, and said solemnly: "Miss." ”
Tang Xianzhi smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu is polite. ”
Zhu Bafan suddenly said: "Big brother, didn't we talk to Nanban the year before last?" Why did they rob my business? ”
Tang Huang smiled bitterly: "Brother Bafan... This thing is very strange, and the family who escaped back said that it was not those barbarians, but... Mountain ghosts. Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world? ”
Zhu Ba Rice: ......
He said again: "In addition to this, aren't my Tang family and the Zhao family in-laws?" Why did it suddenly get to this point? ”
Tang Xianzhi said: "Uncle Zhu, I'll talk about this." ”
"Oh, Miss, please speak."
"Although Zhao Tianxu and I are married, there is someone else in his heart, and he went to the north non-stop on the day of the wedding.
When he was prosperous in the Northland, my family happened to be in trouble because of the loss of the 'Life-Continuation Grass', and his family reconciled with my family with 3,000 taels of silver as compensation.
After the reconciliation, Zhao Tianxu immediately married his original sweetheart, Gongsun Furong.
Gongsun Furong is a jealous woman, she may have hated me to the extreme because she has no name over the years... Therefore, this time she is targeting my Tang family.
And the Zhao family didn't care, but let her come... And that's where it came to be. ”
Zhu Bafan wrinkled his little eyes that were squeezed by the fat, and after thinking for a while, he sighed: "The Gongsun family is a big guy who can't be messed with, but this kind of big guy is usually not monolithic inside...... Big brother, my people are a little late, they will arrive tomorrow morning, I will go to find out the direction of the wind first, and in three days... I'm here again to meet my big brother. ”
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yachihan."
"It's not hard, the life of Bafan was given by the eldest brother."
The fat man smiled for a while with a kind face, then folded his hands and bowed like a monk, and then turned away.
Tang Huang said: "Eight meals, tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, come to eat at home, and give your sister-in-law a stick of incense...... Your sister-in-law will be happy to know that you are back. ”
When Zhu Bafan heard his sister-in-law, his little eyes darkened, "Sister-in-law is good, and the Bodhisattva is hearted, so this old man took her to enjoy the blessings early..... Tomorrow, I will definitely come. ”
