Chapter 66: The road is uneven
"The old lady was also the daughter of the noble family in Beijing, when the first lord was in high school, because there was no marriage match, and his appearance was also very handsome, he was caught by the old lady's father, and the old lady became married, the two were very affectionate after marriage, but they had the master in two years, but it is a pity that the first master went early, and the old man has been growing up with the old lady, fortunately, the old lady is also a backbone, and the old lady has raised the old lady very well."
This old servant has followed the Zhu family for many years, and has been serving on the left and right since the first lord was there, and when his lord went, he has been loyally following the old lady to serve, helping to manage the back house and a few shops.
Yu Qingzhi was also quite touched and asked, "Then if this house is sold, will you also go to the capital with you, uncle?"
The old servant shook his head, "No, now that I'm old, and I'm not familiar with life in Beijing, not only can't I help the master, but I'm afraid that I will drag him down, so I won't be a burden to him."
"Does that old man have a place to go now?"
The old servant shook his head, "I'm now a person who is about to enter the earth, and I just want to find a village to retire from."
"Would you like to take care of this house for us?" Yu Qingzhi said, "We are not familiar with this house, if we really buy it, we also need someone who is familiar with this house to take care of it, who is more suitable for such a person than the old man?"
The old servant was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned back to Yu Qingzhi and saluted, "Madame doesn't dislike the old slave, the old slave will salute Madame first." ap.
Yu Qingzhi hurriedly pulled him up and asked, "I don't know what the old man is called?"
"The old slave has followed the master's family since he was a child, and with the master's surname Zhang, the people in the house used to call me Uncle Zhang."
Under the leadership of Uncle Zhang, everyone entered through the gate of the old mansion, bypassed the winding corridor, and went to the backyard.
Uncle Zhang introduced as he walked, from the residence and study of the first master, to the courtyard where Master Zhang lived when he was a child, the courtyard where he got married, and the study where he read, which are full of Uncle Zhang's memories.
Yu Qingzhi listened, his heart was quite touched, and he saw that although this house had been built for more than a hundred years, except for a little simple and heavy, there was no desolation and dilapidation, and he was very happy in his heart, even if he wanted to settle this house.
She looked at He Lianjun and saw that He Lianjun also had this intention, so she was relieved, so she smiled and said to Uncle Zhang, "We look at this house very well, and Uncle Zhang will help take care of it in the future."
Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly kowtowed to Yu Qingzhi again, "Madam, you are really the kindest lady the old slave has ever seen, Madam, you will definitely be a good person and have a good reward."
Yu Qingzhi hurriedly pulled Uncle Zhang up from the ground, "You don't have to make such a big salute when you see us in the future, it's really tormenting us."
Uncle Zhang is old enough to be Yu Qingzhi's grandfather, let such an old man kneel for himself, Yu Qingzhi is very unbearable in his heart, this house happens to be in the middle of the south city and the west city, whether it is Helan City to go to Shangshan Academy to study, or they go to the store, it is very convenient, Yu Qingzhi even if the house is settled.
A few people went back to the grain seed store, and after a while, Jiang Tian ran over excitedly, pulling Yu Qingzhi and going out.
Yu Qingzhi was confused, "Sister Jiang, where are you going?"
Jiang Tian was visibly excited, "Sister Yu, I heard that today is the day when the market opens, let's go quickly, I want to go and see the excitement."
Yu Qingzhi wanted to refuse, but seeing that Jiang Tian was very excited, and couldn't bear to make her unhappy, she thought for a while and said, "It's okay to have nothing in the store today, so I'll go to the market with you to have a look."
"I'm going too!" As soon as Yu Qingzhi finished speaking, Zhu Tianci, who was originally drinking tea on the side, hurriedly jumped out, "Sister Jiang, do you want to go to the market to see why you didn't come to me, can she be more familiar with this Luming County than me?"
Yu Qingzhi couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, and was about to refute him, but He Lianjun on the side said again, "I'll go with you."
Yu Qingzhi was even more shocked, "Xianggong, do you have nothing to do today?"
"It's been dealt with a few days ago, I think I've come to this Luming County, and I haven't been to the market to see it, so I'll go with you today to see the excitement."
Think about it
When He Lianjun wanted to go out for a stroll with him, Yu Qingzhi's face was a little feverish, and seeing that it was not early, several people hurriedly went out and went to the market.
"Sister Yu, this is the first time I've visited the market at the bottom of the mountain, and it's really very different from the market on the mountain."
Yu Qingzhi remembered that when she went to the market with Jiang Chen in Penglai Mountain, some sourness spread out in her heart, and her eyes were a little moist, she smiled busily, "One side of the water and soil and one side of the people, although Luming County is not very far from Penglai Mountain, there are still differences in customs, Penglai Mountain is close to the sea, and most of the villagers under the mountain live on the sea, while Luming County is a traditional farming society, and the things sold in the market are naturally different."
Jiang Tian looked at everything in the bazaar that was very fresh, looked left and right, and after a while, he bought a lot of things and threw them all into Zhu Tianci's hands.
Although Yu Qingzhi accompanied him all the way, he didn't buy anything empty-handed.
Finally, when she picked up a hairpin and looked at it again, He Lianjun said, "If the lady likes it, I will buy it and give it to the lady."
Yu Qingzhi hurriedly put the hairpin back to the stall owner, "I don't like it, I don't like it, but the style of this hairpin is very chic, so I took a few more looks."
After that, she pulled Jiang Tian and continued to move forward, He Lianjun stood in front of the stall, and picked up the hairpin she put down again, the stall owner saw it, and said busily, "Master, buy this hairpin for Mrs., look at Mrs. like that, she should really like it, and this hairpin is not expensive, only five taels of silver."
He Lianjun did not hesitate, took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner, who was naturally very grateful, and helped He Lianjun find a piece of silk to wrap the hairpin.
"Don't worry, master, I just looked at Mrs., I must really like this hairpin, you take it back to Mrs. to see it, you must be very happy."
Hearing this, He Lianjun also hooked the corners of his mouth, put the hairpin into his arms properly, and hurriedly went to find Yu Qingzhi and them.
Yu Qingzhi and Jiang Tian were not very interested in fat powder hairpin rings and the like, and when they arrived at the wonton stall, they couldn't move their feet.
When Zhu Tianci saw it, he hurriedly threw the big bags and small bags he was carrying on the stall, and shouted to the stall owner of the wonton shop, "Uncle, I'm tired to have four bowls of wontons."
"Two aunts and grandmothers, this morning I followed you two to watch the house and go to the market, even the mules didn't do this, I'm tired and hungry now, let me eat two bites."
Jiang Tianmei's eyes widened, "What are you talking about, it's like I'm bullying you with Sister Yu, Brother He, do you mean, did we bully him today?"
He Lianjun walked over to Yu Qingzhi and sat down, and said with a smile, "But you are willing to follow, who forced you to come?"
"Why do you say that?" Zhu Tianci was choked by him, "Lian Jun, who did you learn from, you actually learned badly!"
The owner of the wonton shop is an old man, and when he sees a few people talking and laughing, he can't help but be infected, and he still smiles when he brings the wontons up, "The wontons that have just come out of the pot are used slowly by a few guest officers."
Yu Qingzhi looked down at the wontons in the bowl, all of them were crystal clear, thin skin and big filling, and he could even see the meat filling used in them, and saw that the old man was indeed a simple and honest person, so he took out a tael of silver and put it on the table.
The old man was flattered and shirked again and again, "A few bowls of wontons, where did you ask for so much silver......
Yu Qingzhi stuffed the silver into the old man's hand, "Old man, take it quickly, why can't these bowls of wontons cost so much silver."
"This ...... Then thank you, ma'am, and I'll serve you some more side dishes."
The old man held the silver in his hand, and turned around to serve Yu Qingzhi and them side dishes, but he was kicked on his body and fell in front of Yu Qingzhi.
Yu Qingzhi hurriedly went to help, "Uncle, are you okay? Nothing, right?"
"Old Yangtou, who told you to continue to set up a stall here?" Yu Qingzhi raised his eyes, but saw a fierce-looking man, holding a meter-long knife in his hand, and his face was full of flesh, and he was not a good stubble, "Lao Tzu warned you before, if you don't pay the money, you can't let Lao Tzu see you stalling here, you won't take Lao Tzu at all."
Keep it in your heart."
As he spoke, he had a long knife in his hand, and he was about to do it again, but he was stopped halfway through, "Where did you come from, the little *** who doesn't have long eyes, you also have to take care of Lao Tzu's idle affairs?"
He Lianjun's face turned cold, and he held the knife with one hand without any intention of letting go, "Apologize."
"Whew! Do you want Lao Tzu to apologize to you? I don't think you know my Xie San's name!"
He Lianjun grabbed the back of the knife with one hand, and hit Xie San with the other hand, Xie San couldn't dodge, and he didn't put He Lianjun, who looked thinner than himself in front of him, in his eyes, so he confidently took it with one hand, but was beaten back a few steps by He Lianjun,
"Who are you? How dare you meddle with the affairs of my Xie family?" Xie San finally stood firm, and rushed up at He Lianjun in annoyance, but He Lianjun was easily repulsed.
"Do you know who I am? Are you going to be an enemy of the Xie family?"
Xie San made a threat, and even Yang Bo, who was supported by Yu Qingzhi, hurried to look at He Lianjun, "Young man, young man, don't offend him for such an old bone as me, it doesn't matter if he hits me twice."
"Where is this what the old man said, I am most used to using power to oppress people and dogs to fight people in my life, since I have met it today, I naturally want to uphold justice for my uncle!"
He Lianjun shook his robe, and his expression couldn't be calmer, "Xie San? Are you from the Xie family? But the mother's family of the concubine today?"
"Since you know my identity, you will obediently kneel down and kowtow to me twice, and if the concubine is to blame, I will also give you two good words." Seeing that He Lianjun knew his identity, Xie San couldn't be prouder, as if he knew that He Lianjun knew that he had a relationship with the concubine in the palace, so he would definitely kneel and beg for mercy.
He Lianjun didn't let him be proud for long, and sneered, "Who am I, it turned out to be Xie Yingying's lackey, who doesn't know now, the demon concubine is causing trouble in the dynasty and meddling in national affairs, and everyone will be punished!"
"You!" Xie San's face turned red, and he wanted to eat He Lianjun alive, but just after fighting with He Lianjun, he knew that he was not He Lianjun's opponent, so he could only choose to flee in disgrace, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say a cruel word to a few people, "You wait for me, today's revenge Xie San will definitely take revenge, don't run!"
When he came, he brought a few people with a lot of momentum, but he was knocked to the ground by He Lianjun three or two times, He Lianjun helped Yang Bo up, and gave Yang Bo money to see the injury, but Yang Bo held his arm tightly, "Young man, listen to the old man's advice, run quickly, the people don't fight with the officials, you are not the opponent of the Xie family."
