Chapter Seventy-Nine: Lao Chao

Chapter Seventy-Nine

Before the Daying Dynasty unified the Spring and Autumn Period, the Song family already existed, and it was not small, but when it came to the real fame, it was still in the past hundred years.

One door and three saints have made the Song family flourish and become another literary giant after the Fang family in Qingzhou.

But unlike the Fang family in Qingzhou, the children of the Song family have never entered the official career, nor are they allowed to enter the official career, which is the ancestral training of the Song family.

If you don't enter the official career, you can concentrate on learning, dare to shout the voice of the world's scholars, and dare to speak up as an official.

But it is not necessarily an easy thing to concentrate on learning without entering the official career, at least not as safe as it seems on the surface.

The tree is easy to attract wind, and over the years, the big tree of the Song family has attracted wind and rain, especially when the old master of the Song family, Song Dongyuan was still alive, this old gentleman spoke sharply, which was famous in the entire dynasty.

There are too many "celebrities" who have been criticized by Mr. Song, and most of them are officials, and there are not a few members of the court.

Even, it is said that Mr. Song is the most bullish, and even the Empress Dowager Dou of the current dynasty, that is, the former queen mother, was almost criticized by him for being incomplete.

That night, the entire Song family's mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and everyone thought that the Song family was going to finish playing, but what is puzzling is that soon all the officers and soldiers withdrew.

And since then, there has been no more rumors, as if nothing had happened.

Later, some people speculated in private that the reason why the turmoil quietly subsided was actually the old Que Pavilion of Luantai, who pleaded hard in front of the Son of Heaven and the queen.

What is the relationship between Que Yu Fengge and the Song family?

In other words, what is the relationship between Mr. Que Ge and Mr. Song?

Que and Song have been cold for many years, many people know this, but what few people know is that when it comes to power, it can be said that the old Luantai Pavilion who is above 10,000 people under one person is the protégé of Dongyuan's father.

That is to say, the old man of Que Ge is alone, and he has neither a family nor children, otherwise, nine times out of ten, the two families of Que and Song will form a family.

Of course, if that were the case, there would be no later "Song Ye" marriage.

Although the Song family does not enter the official career, after all, after all, it is destined to be affected by the world as long as it is alive, and it is destined to be unavoidable.

Therefore, without violating the ancestral teachings, the Song family also "opportunistically" strengthened its own power, and the marriage with the Ye family, a family of official eunuchs, was one of them.

Song Yuchen walked towards the dining room, thinking about how to meet his mother who was born in a family of eunuchs after eating.

Zhao Meiren didn't see it at all, and followed directly to the dining room, and then sat down, waiting for someone to bring the food from the kitchen.

Although it's past dinner time, it's a big family after all, and it's normal to have leftover food.

Originally, Song Yuchen wanted to deal with it casually, but as soon as he arrived in the kitchen, he was bumped into by Lao Chao, who was cleaning up the kitchen, and had been in the Song family's mansion for most of his life.

The two hands that had sharpened a thick layer of calluses because of the perennial rough work grabbed Song Yuchen's hand tightly, and their lips trembled uncontrollably, although they had a thousand words, they just couldn't speak.

Lao Chao is the cook of the Song family, and he has cooked for three generations of the Song family for 30 years, and he understands the taste of the Song family best.

Lao Chao, who was born with a little hunchback, was destined to be a bachelor for a lifetime if there were no accidents, but the Song family not only took him in, but also found him a mother-in-law, and gave birth to a cub with a handle.

When he first became a father, Lao Chao was so happy that he grinned all day long, showing a mouthful of yellowed teeth, and everyone laughed and said that his Lao Chao family finally had a successor, and he was even more grateful to the Song family.

His son is none other than Chao Anhu, who is now also working in the Song family.

Because he is considered an old man, Lao Chao has been a treasure to Chao Anhu since he was a child, and when the old man sent Dongyuan was still alive, he also took great care of this old servant, and he was especially kind to Lao Chao's family of three living in the Song family's mansion, and in addition, he also let Chao Anhu follow him to read and write.

But what makes Lao Chao so angry is that this rabbit cub just doesn't like black and white, and he gets sleepy when he sees books, although he was forced to study with the little master for three years, but he also knows a few more big characters, and other gentlemen and six arts or something, they haven't learned a fart.

This little rabbit cub doesn't like to read and know, but he likes to practice martial arts, and when he is a little older, he shouts all day long that he wants to learn martial arts to protect his father and mother in the future, as well as the old man and the Song family.

Poor study and rich martial arts, this year want to practice a good martial arts, how can it be so easy, although poor, but Lao Chao still can't resist this little cub, at the expense of bloodletting to invite a dart master of the dart game, begging him to teach his baby son a few tricks.

This time, the little cub is still competitive, and he is really good at practicing. Seeing that his son was happy, Lao Chao was satisfied.

Of course, with Lao Chao's family background, it is naturally impossible to hire a dart master for a long time, so he asked for five or six times intermittently, and he was about to be unable to support the department.

What's more, Lao Chao knew in his heart that the Song family had been literati and gentlemen for generations, and they had never had much affection for martial arts or anything.

If you often bring a reckless dart master to the Song family's mansion, the lord and the woman are afraid that they will be unhappy.

But what Lao Chao didn't expect was that the old man sent the cave far from being unhappy, but generously paid for him and invited several better martial artists for him, which flattered Lao Chao's family and was terrified.

Although their own family is a house slave, the owner does not look down on them at all, let alone beat and scold, and the little young master has been very good for his cubs since he was a child, and he can even say that the two are like brothers without bragging.

Lao Chao watched the little young master grow up, in addition to the old slave's respect for the little master, Lao Chao regarded the little young master as his own child, and even looked closer to him than his own naughty tiger cub.

But half a year ago, for some reason, the young master quarreled with the master, and then slammed the door and walked out. Soon there were all kinds of gossip outside, saying that the young master was infatuated with a woman who had a problematic character and went away with the cheap woman.

When he heard these rumors, Lao Chao was furious at the time, and he didn't believe that his young master would be like that.

Although our old man can't read a few big characters, he has also heard that the young master is a rare reading seed in the dynasty for a hundred years, and it is even expected to add another saint to the Song family, and he knows best how the young master is a person, he is very filial, how can he abandon his father and mother for a singing woman with a problematic character, the young master must have some unspeakable hardships.

For a long time, Lao Chao comforted himself like this, but unconsciously, the young master had been away from home for half a year, and Lao Chao was also more and more anxious and worried, during which he wanted to find the young master in person many times, and the young man persuaded him to go home, but the old man was still angry, and no one was allowed to look for him to find him.

Pity the hearts of parents in the world, I don't know if the lord is worried about Lao Chao, presumably there is, but Mrs. is sad all day long, and even for a long time at the beginning, she washed her face with tears.

Lao Chao was a cook, and in those days, he found that his wife had barely eaten, and her whole body had lost a lot of weight.

After the young master Song Yucheng left, the originally warm and joyful Song family mansion also disappeared, replaced by an eerie quiet, overwhelming everyone in the mansion.

God is still pitiful, the young master actually turned back!

Because he didn't get any news that the young master was coming back, seeing this familiar figure at this moment, Lao Chao only thought that his old eyes were dizzy and hallucinating.

After learning that the young master had not yet eaten dinner, he did not allow Song Yuchen, the young master, to refuse, and Lao Chao said at that time that he would give the entire ten or twenty delicious things.

Song Yuchen couldn't help it, so when the dishes were all served, the entire table was about to be full, and people who didn't know thought that the Song family was going to invite dozens of people.

Song Yuchen simply sat down comfortably and tasted every dish cooked by Lao Chao himself.

Don't really say it, in terms of cooking skills, Lao Chao is definitely no worse than the famous chef of Qifenglou, who is known as the Golden Grotto, and in the meals cooked by Lao Chao, there is also a firewood gas at home, which is not available in Qifenglou.

Lao Chao went in and out, so busy and so serious, that he didn't even notice at first that in addition to his young master, there was also a woman in white who was as beautiful as a fairy in the dining room.

Later, it was Song Yuchen who took the initiative to introduce Lao Chao.

Of course, when introducing Zhao Meiren, it must not be said that she came from that kind of place, otherwise with Lao Chao's old-fashioned brain, there will definitely be some unnecessary misunderstandings.

After seeing the appearance of the woman in white, Lao Chao smiled kindly, he had never seen anything in the world, he stammered a few polite words, probably wanting to praise the girl, but the words he said were reversed.

During this period, Lao Chao, who has always been loyal and honest, suddenly made a move that made Song Yuchen cry and laugh, this old servant with gray hair quietly winked at the young master, and secretly gave a thumbs up, I don't know if Zhao Huakui saw it, she just lowered her head to eat.

After cooking all the dishes that the young master loved to eat on weekdays, Lao Chao left the dining room very interestingly, but like many elders in the family, Lao Chao couldn't help but stand at the door of the kitchen secretly, and his two eyes peeked into the dining room from time to time to see if there was any progress.

Lao Chao is very pleased, he is really happy for his father and wife, with his old Chao's eyesight, this girl surnamed Zhao is not the same, not to mention beautiful, and at a glance he knows that he is a well-informed lady, and the young master is the most right.

Although this girl surnamed Zhao rarely speaks, as long as she speaks, she has a shallow smile on her face, which makes people look like a spring breeze, Lao Chao can't help but think that such a good girl is ten million times better than the singing woman who abducted the young master before.

Lao Chao smirked, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and tears flowed out of his eyes when he laughed, choking and choking: "The lord and the lady will definitely like it." ”
