Chapter 182: Zhuangzi's Appearance
Soon I changed my clothes, put on the refreshments, and the rain was still dripping. The sky was cloudy, low and gloomy, and it was nearly dusk. I can't stop this rain for a while.
Xie Yunshu was so lucky, she had to brave the rain to come, otherwise when would she have to wait?
She glanced at Suyan and Cuixia, and said with a smile: "With Mama Guan here, and the servants in the Zhuangzi to serve, you will each go home to reunite with your family for two days." Qingqing, if there are any good little sisters, just go. ”
Qingqing immediately shook her head like a rattle: "I won't go, I won't go!" I'm going to stay with the eldest lady and serve. ”
When it comes to loyalty, An Tong and Suyan are also loyal, but the warmth and sincerity in Qingqing's eyes are inferior to anyone who sees it.
Is it more loyal than Qingqing? Can't compare, can't compare!
Everyone expected her to say this, and they all laughed when they saw it.
Su Yan glared at her and joked: "You are the most loyal, but you can't compare us all!" We're embarrassed to leave! ”
Qingqing blinked, and naturally blurted out: "Then don't go, how good it is to serve the eldest lady!" ”
Everyone laughed more and more, and Xie Yunshu almost choked on the tea in her mouth.
Suyan couldn't cry or laugh: "Oh, I really can't speak, if you say this, won't it block your own back road." ”
Cui Xia also smiled: "Then don't say it again, otherwise we will have no face!" ”
Xie Yunshu laughed: "She's still young, don't worry about her!" Go ahead, your family is waiting for you. ”
Tang Suyan and Ding Cuixia really missed their families, and they had a lot of things to say to their families, so when they heard this, they smiled and said goodbye, and left quickly.
Xie Yunshu asked people to invite Steward Tang, Ding Jili, Zhao Qinghe, and the old man to the main hall.
The guest sat down and chatted politely, Xie Yunshu smiled and apologized for the poor conditions in the village, and asked Steward Tang to take the old man and his party to the guest house, and be sure to settle down and entertain well, "If you are negligent, please forgive me." ”
"Miss Xie doesn't need to be so polite," the old man smiled: "It's a blessing to be able to rest here on a rainy day, where will you dislike it?" Miss Xie, don't worry! By the way, the scenery here is excellent, but it is quite interesting, if Miss Xie doesn't mind, we want to stay for two more days? ”
Xie Yunshu smiled: "What is this, the old man just live." ”
"Haha, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome!"
With a smile on his face, Steward Tang invited the old man and others to go to the guest house, and specially asked his wife to arrange two reliable and capable women to take care of the chores, and asked someone to explain that the kitchen was a good cooking and hospitality, so that the eldest lady's friends could not be neglected and the eldest lady would lose face.
Look at the sky, Tang Steward and Ding Jili are not suitable to say at this time even if they have a belly of words, and after saluting, they will respectfully retreat and come back tomorrow.
Xie Yunshu was also a little tired, and soon rested after dinner.
Early the next morning, Xie Yunshu got up, and the sky was already clear. High and blue, the blue sky is like washing, the sun is bright and bright, after the rain washing, the air is exceptionally fresh, the vision is also extraordinarily clear and bright, go out is the green water and green mountains, birds chirping bursts, accompanied by the chickens and dogs barking, the pastoral fireworks of curling smoke, make people feel happy, have a big heart.
Breakfast is a fragrant and soft millet porridge, homemade shredded radish, cucumber strips in sauce, salt beans, sesame red oil and garlic mixed with diced pickled cabbage, red oil bamboo shoots and other porridge. There are also steamed buns stuffed with diced mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and dumplings stuffed with shrimp.
Qingqing smiled happily: "These are all fresh goods produced in our Zhuangzi, Aunt Tang's craftsmanship is so good, I have tasted it once before and can never forget it, Miss Eat it while it's hot." ”
Xie Yunshu smiled and nodded; "You can also come along, Mama Guan also sit, let's have breakfast, let's get down to business!"
After breakfast, the old man came with Steward Tang and the others, and Steward Tang and the others were smiling and talking to the old man, Mr. Jin, and Mr. Lin, and their eyebrows were full of pride and pride.
Seeing Xie Yunshu, the old man smiled and said: "Miss Xie, this Zhuangzi is very good, and the people in the Zhuangzi are very interesting, haha!" "One by one, Miss Xie is touted to the heavens and the earth, and the pride and pride are not pretended at a glance.
Xie Yunshu also smiled, a little proud: "The villagers are peaceful and simple, which is good!" "It's not easy for Zhuangzi to have the transformation she has now, she has spent a lot of thought and invested a lot of money! Of course, the effect is still good.
The patriarch said this, and she accepted it calmly.
Although Xie Yunshu put on a modest appearance, where could the little pride that his eyebrows and eyes couldn't suppress hide from the eyes of the old man? The patriarch couldn't help laughing.
The patriarch and they didn't need Xie Yunshu or the stewards to accompany them, and they planned to walk around at will, Xie Yunshu noticed that the patriarch was steady and elegant, not that frivolous, so he smiled and said a few polite words and went with them.
There is nothing she can't say to people in this village, and there are occasionally one or two places where outsiders are not allowed to enter, and they can't go.
Zhuangzi is very good now, but her dignified Zhuangzi, the eldest lady of the Pingbei Hou Mansion, is not afraid of people's worries.
They just want to go shopping, it's rare for her to come here, and when the draft is approaching, it is impossible to go out like this, and countless things have to be discussed with Tang Steward, and they are really not available.
The patriarch and his entourage walked around the Zhuangzi at will, all the way, all of them were amazed.
But all the roads are clean and tidy, the roads are solidly crushed with gravel, smooth, no water, smooth communication between the yang and the ditch, no filth and garbage, not even a single mosquito.
In the distance, large houses are neatly lined up, and when you look past, you can see rows of houses with courtyards of the same size and shape, neatly and squarely, row after row.
You can see various trees such as peach, plum, apricot, persimmon, loquat, hawthorn, pomegranate, elm, acacia and cinnamon planted everywhere in the surrounding area, and various common medicinal herbs such as mint, calamus, wormwood, honeysuckle, wheat winter, wolfberry, and desmodium can be seen everywhere in the surrounding area.
Dogs bark and chickens crow, children frolicking.
Seeing the stranger visiting, several of the frolicking children stopped and looked at them. One of them, who was a little older, saw that they didn't seem to be bad people, so he pulled a few small ones forward to greet them.
Mr. Lin smiled and said, "Are you all from this Zhuangzi?" Are these houses your home? ”
A few of the children laughed and said yes.
The older one spoke clearly, and said crisply: "Our area is called the second district of Weiziling Manor, you see that the sign says, this lane is the second district and one lane, next to the second district and the second lane, and the third lane. We are all tenants in the Zhuangzi, this house is the eldest lady personally drew the drawings and asked someone to build, each family is divided into a set, like this house yard, only two taels of silver a year rent, in the northeast corner of the piece of vegetable land there is a six-cent vegetable field! As long as you abide by the rules set by the eldest lady and don't make mistakes, you can rent for a lifetime! My father and my mother said that we are now planting the eldest lady's field, and we can still work in the Zhuangzi, and the vegetables in the vegetable field are enough for the family to eat all year round and feed some chickens and ducks, which is much better than before! A lot of older brothers and sisters can still learn a lot of skills! ”
