I like lard, it's too greasy.My wife's taste is not much to me. The old people have a mild taste, not too sweet, not too salty, and lard is not used. The children are the same as us.There will definitely be guests at home in the future, so cook all the dishes you are good at!Hua Gu, you have all the dishes! "I said.
"All! I have a big greenhouse in my backyard! There are all kinds of vegetables, just for the convenience of the employer's testing." Hua Gu still said with a smile on her face.
"That's great. I'll pay for the food. Just let them do it. By the way, I'm making a pot of rice. It's enough for the few of us. I'll have dinner with you."
"All right, all right! Do as you say. I will arrange it now." After finishing speaking, she twisted her body and led the cooks away.
Fu's mother also got up and said, "Old slave, go and watch, lest some cooks get dirty hands."
"Then trouble you!" I said with a smile.
"You are so angry!"
"Brother! Come stay at my house tonight!" Li Zhen said.
"That's not good, it's too disturbing, we can just stay at the inn."
"Aren't you being polite to me? I'm going to be angry if you're so out of touch."
"Oh~ that's not the case! I have something to tell my disciples and grandchildren! Besides, when I come to your house, I will have to pay my respects to the women in the house. I didn't prepare anything, so it's too rude to go with Yingniang empty-handed. ! And Yingniang is not prepared, I am afraid she will be nervous!"
"Oh, you! Why are there so many worries? When you arrive at Chang'an City, at the gate of the brother's house, you go to the inn, where do you want me to put my face!"
"Today is really inconvenient. How about tomorrow, Yingniang and I are going to write a gift and visit your house, okay! At least give us some time to prepare!"
"What are you planning to come to my house! You don't need anything, it's good to just go! Let me tell you, our Li family has a lot of gifts, and we don't lack anything. You don't need to bring anything, I just gave it to us. The best gift for my family, what else do you want to bring? What is more important than my life!" He said seriously.
"Is this~ okay? It's impolite to have empty hands! Why don't you go out and buy some later! You're here, you know what your family likes!" Seeing that he was really angry, I had to go.In fact, I really don't want to go!It's too troublesome, seeing this and that, talking a lot, it's annoying to think about it!Living in an inn does not know how quiet it is.
"Hehe! That's right! If you must bring a gift, buy some pastries!"
"Just pastries? You don't pay much attention to it!"
"Oh! Are you going or not! The elders are so annoying!"
"Go, go! Dare you not go?" I thought to myself that I don't want to go, you must let me go, okay?
"By the way, dear brother, didn't Cao Meng say that Wu Fu invited you to a banquet? When are you going!"
"The date is set at noon the day after tomorrow."
"Well! Go! Mr. Wu is one of the founding heroes of the [-]th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. He treats you to dinner, it is to give you great face! Don't you not like to hear my brother say this, the main reason is the difference in status between you two. Too much disparity!"
"Founding hero?" I asked curiously.
"Why don't you know?"
"I don't know," I said innocently, shaking my head.
"I said, are you from the Tang Dynasty! You can find anyone on the street and he will know who the sixteen founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty are!"
"I know a few, but I really don't know Master Wu."
"Okay! It's fine if you don't know. Anyway, you're just going to have a meal, and you can't talk about policy matters. Just don't talk nonsense. Remember, don't drink too much wine, lest you will be broken again. !"
Er, he has been with me for a long time, and he can also use "Martian words", hehe!He saw me smirking and smiled too.
We all chatted for a while, and saw that Hua Gu led a few people and began to set the tableware.
"Gentlemen, try Chef A's first. She just made it and it's still hot. The others will come soon." Hua Gu said with a smile.
"Huagu, come along too!" I said kindly.
"Hey! Thank you for thinking about it. I'd better keep an eye on the servants! So that the servants don't mess up." She said with a smile.
"Then it's up to you! By the way, where are Fu Ma and De Zi?" I am a life of worry.
"Fu's mother is staring at the kitchen. She said that if the masters ask, let the servants answer on their behalf, saying that she will come with the last cook. After the dishes are ready, she will try the dishes. Before the masters eat A chopstick is for her to eat, poison her first if it is poisonous. This is the rule. The masters don’t bother because of her. The son follows the food delivery and keeps an eye on the road. Fu’s mother said that she is afraid that someone will tamper with it!” I just wanted to say that we There is no such rule in my family, and no one will poison me, but when I saw Li Zhen, I understood that Fu Mama is for her master, and I have nothing to do with it!So I swallowed this sentence with rice.
In this way, the dishes from the chefs came up one by one, and the large rectangular table could not fit. At the beginning, the cold ones were removed, and they were tasting and commenting. Finally, there were three cooks left. I was so embarrassed The choice is mainly because they each have their own strengths, and I love to eat them all.But is it a bit too much for me to have three cooks? Our family has three meals a day, and we can't eat a few dishes. In fact, one cook is enough.
Fu's mother saw my embarrassment, and smiled and said to me: "If you like it, you can keep it! The three cooks will cook faster. If there are guests, or New Year's Day, don't worry about not having enough cooks." It is more convenient to have two for the master and one for the servants."
"Well, it's true! Then these three are kept!" I thought that the family has a lot of people, and the husband's family will come in the future, so we can't just eat four dishes for twenty people!And added a lot of servants, ah!I suddenly feel that money is not enough, I have to work hard to earn money, otherwise, I will not be able to afford food in less than half a year!Think about it, your family has to make some decent clothes, or else even the servants will look down on you, and you have to pay the servants to change and wash clothes throughout the year, and you have to take care of their three meals a day, and also I have to buy some sets of jewelry for Yingniang and Niang, my dear mother!I can't live anymore!Things got bigger!If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come with Li Zhen. I would have bought four or five servants by myself. What a pair of concierges—Sun Laifu and Wang Yuanxi (hereafter referred to as Laifu and Xizi), five servants in front. Courtyard, (five maidservants are in the backyard, two maids, two Yingniangs, Xiao Niuniu, a Dong'er with a servant, father and a servant), three cooks,.Xizi's queen Meng's name is Hehua, and she will be called Hegu from now on. She is in charge of Yingniang's backyard, and will be Yingniang's right-hand man from now on.As for Wang Huaiyuan, I plan to test his knowledge first, let him enlighten the children, and observe for a while before deciding what to do with him.
In this way, there are a total of seventeen servants, and the price is different according to the grade and quality, because all the signings are dead contracts, so it is more expensive, and Huagu finally asked for 150 taels of silver!These are all Fu Ma talked with her!Fu Ma often buys people and she knows the price!The two of them didn't bargain like that in front of us, but the two of them gestured with their hands in the sleeves in the corner. This is called holding hands, which is a rule in the industry.After they set the price, they just let me know.I can't say anything at all, you have seen the owner of that house bargaining with the traffickers.Although I can do this, I'm not afraid of embarrassment, but I can't embarrass Brother Zhen, can I?
I couldn't help sighing in my heart: Why is Nima so expensive!Half of my property is gone!It seems that I have to go home and look through the gifts from Li Zhen and the Wu family. If there is anything that can be sold, I will exchange it for silver!
Assi!I didn't bring that much money with me!
"Well, it's getting late now, you should draw up the contract first, and we'll all sign it with our fingerprints, and then I'll pick it up tomorrow!" I paused, and wanted to say, I'll give you a deposit of [-] taels first, The rest will be paid tomorrow when you come to pick up the person.But before I could open my mouth again, Hua Gu kept laughing and said, "All right, all right! You can come to pick up the person whenever you are free. The extra [-] taels of money you gave after shaving off the ingredients is still left. It’s okay to stay for a few more days.” She knew in her heart that I had just opened the mansion and was in a hurry to hire people!How could it be possible for the servants to stay for a few more days.
Give me [-] taels more?I didn't say give more?I looked at Xiang Fu's mother suspiciously, and asked her what's going on with my eyes?
She was very smart, and said to me with a smile: "Young master, Hua Gu and I have set the price. The servants are 170 taels in total, and the ingredients are about [-] taels. Putting it together is more than [-] taels. The old woman thinks that it is getting dark now." , I don’t have time to arrange for the servants, so let them stay with Huagu first, let Huagu boil some hot water for them to wash them well, and then change into clean new clothes, so it’s worth [-] taels! The woman gave the banknote to Hua Gu without discussing it with you."
"Oh! It's okay! You've done a good job!" I looked at Li Zhen and saw him smiling with satisfaction, so I laughed too. Don't you understand?I took advantage of Li Zhen again!
Hua Gu went to prepare the contract, and we whispered next to Li Zhen: "I will pay you back later!"
"Let's play! If you give it to me, I'll throw it away and feed it to the dog!" Li Zhen also whispered in a low voice.
"That's impossible, the dog will die if it eats the silver!" I continued to whisper.
"Haha, you were the one who killed me! Don't mention money to my brother, it hurts feelings. You have just started a mansion, and there are many places to spend money! To tell you the truth, His Majesty rewarded me with a lot of gold and silver for this victory, half of which is yours. , go to my place later, take it away!"
I stared at him with two eyeballs: "You are stupid!"
"You are stupid! Compared with life, gold and silver are nothing! Besides, I am not short of money, so I put it aside, and whoever lacks money will use it! Don't worry about it anymore! If you have something to say, go home and talk about it." .”
This time I didn't talk anymore, because he said he had something to say when he went home, he was going home!He didn't use 'go back to my house to talk' but 'go home', he really didn't treat me as an outsider!Is this the kind of brotherhood between men?If you have money, you can spend it together, and never haggle over it!Even if you borrow money from each other and don't pay it back, don't care about it!I didn't understand it before, but now I seem to understand it a little bit.But I still want to ask: what to ask?What exactly is this for?
☆, named
After signing the contract and agreeing to come to pick up the person tomorrow, we left Yaxing and sat in the carriage, which was staggering forward.inside the car
"Brother, what should I buy when I get to Chang'an Street? By the way, how many people are there in your family? What do you like?"
"Well, our family is now apart from my second uncle. My grandfather, my parents, two aunts, one concubine brother, and two younger sisters. I have one wife and two concubines, one and two daughters. Look at me Buy it!" Li Zhen said to me with a smile.
"Amount~~" I opened my mouth and couldn't speak!I thought to myself, how do I buy this nima, and how much I buy is too much!
"Ahahahaha! I'm teasing you! You don't want to buy anything, just eat pastries for dinner at this point, let's go to Wuweizhai
, women like to eat candied fruit, stuffed plums and other snacks, children like to eat spiced melon seeds and southern milk peanuts, my father and grandfather like to drink tea, you just buy some Maojian and oolong.Just eat something to clear your mouth after a meal! "
"Ah! That's all for now!"
"Don't look at it as simple as it sounds, it costs a lot of money to add it up!"
"Okay! As long as the family doesn't dislike it, it's fine!"
By the time I finished buying gifts at Wuweizhai, it was already dark, but the street was brightly lit and there was a constant flow of people.
"The nightlife in this city is quite lively! Do you have to go out at night?" I asked curiously
"Forbidden! At three o'clock in Haishi (today [-] o'clock) the streets will be banned." Li Zhen said with his ear out.
"Oh! The two second-hand goods I just received will go with me?" I asked shyly.
"Don't worry, our house is very big and there are many rooms. Don't you have something to say to them! Let's go together!"
Lee House
In fact, it's not as complicated as I thought. When I met people, I just nodded and exchanged greetings. They thanked me for saving Li Zhen, and said that I was polite and brought some gifts!Li Zhen's mother also gave Yingniang a pair of very eye-catching spring white mutton fat jade bracelets.Wow, I made money this time!
Since it was getting late, Li Zhen arranged for us to go to the guest room.living room
"Kneel down!" I sat on the mat and patted the crime with my left hand and said calmly.
"Master! The Bo notice is wrong! Please calm down, Master!" Zhou Botong knelt on the ground and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
"Since you have joined my sect, you should follow the rules. It's also my fault that I didn't have time to tell you the rules of the sect. Listen now, and don't forget it in the future." I looked at him and said solemnly.I can't let them trouble me!Besides, I'm a person who died once, it's okay for them to worship me, and I don't take advantage of them!
Zhou Huairen also knelt down when he heard that I wanted to talk about the rules of the house.Listen respectfully.
"I have my own school. I don't have a master. My martial arts are mainly fists, feet, and palms. I don't have any great skills. I can't go to the sky, don't hide, don't hide, and don't disguise myself. I don't have any immortal skills. You won't learn much by following me! If it's too late for you two to repent now, the apprenticeship ceremony at noon will be deemed useless."
Yingniang heard the commotion in the hall in the back room, and smiled and thought, "My silly husband, it really looks like that!"He is really a bit of a gentleman, what should I do if I admire him more and more? '
Zhou's master and apprentice thought, Master (Master Zu) is angry!Because Broadcom is talkative today?oops!Master, he wants to drive us away, but we haven't learned a lot!Can't go!
"Master! Don't be angry! Don't drive us away! We've been following you for the rest of our lives!" "Yes, Master! It's Botong who talks too much today! Don't be angry, Botong will never do it again. Be sure to remember Your old teaching."
"Okay! I've already said my word. Since the two of you still refuse to leave, you must remember the house rules."
I have to think about it, I have edited some at home in the past two days, and now I have to perfect it, so I thought, and said slowly: "Well, I was the only one in the past, and I didn't even choose a pie name. , now that I have you two, in the future you will accept disciples to ask about the name of the school, it would not look good if you don’t have one! Let’s do this! Let’s get one now for the teacher! Well, what’s the name? Do you two have any good opinions? ?”
"Master, there are Shushan School, Huashan School, and other mountain schools in Jianghu. They are all named after mountains. We also have Cuihua Mountain in Chang'an. Why don't we call it Cuihua Mountain School?"
"Cuihuashan? Still sent? It's too long! The Shushan faction is stationed on Shushan, and the Huashan faction is stationed on Huashan. You call us the Cuihuashan faction. Do you want me to live on the mountain?"
"Ah...Okay! I didn't say anything about my disciples!"
"Well...or is it called Ghost Mountain School?" I thought about it for a long time, thinking that I am also a ghost!
"Ghost Mountain School? It's too intrusive! Is there such a mountain in Chang'an?" Botong tilted his head and said.
"Don't you think this name is very domineering? It scares people when they hear it! It overwhelms others in terms of momentum!" I said with a smile.
"But master, this name sounds really crooked!"
"Ah... it's a little bit haha! Or is it called the ghost school?"
"Master! Why did you confront a ghost? Why don't we call it a supernatural power school!" Huairen was helpless!
"Why don't we call it Taixu sect! Don't all of us cultivators want to become real bodies and travel through Taixu?" Huairen said longingly.
"Taixu? This name sounds false! When someone asks you what kind of sect you are, are you brave enough to say it? You are still too empty! I am still too empty!"
"What sects are there in Jianghu now?" I asked them.
"There are Shushan School, Huashan School, Kongtong School, and Shaolin School! Then there are some small sects that are not well-known."
I suddenly thought of a name that has been with me for more than 20 years: "What do you think of the 'Wing Chun School'? I practice Wing Chun for my master."
"Yongchun? Eternal youth? Master, do you practice the boxing technique of immortality? But why does the name Master sound like a female school?" Huairen asked.
. . .It's also because they don't know Aunt Wing Chun.All right!I have an idea.
"Okay! I've already decided on a name for my teacher, how about calling it 'Xiaoyaopai'!" I said proudly.
"This is good! It's like a fairy! It's good!" Er Zhou agreed that it was good.
"Well, our sect will be called Xiaoyao sect from now on. Now we're going to talk about the rules of the sect, you have to remember it! I'll say it this time." Because I forgot after I finished speaking.
"First: Don't bully your masters and destroy your ancestors, and don't betray your masters. Second: Unite with each other and don't kill each other. Third: Don't publicize your sect everywhere, keep a low profile. Fourth: Don't make your own claims, treat illnesses today Don’t let the same things happen again! Fifth: Don’t steal. Sixth: Don’t oppress others. Seventh: Don’t go out to deceive others in the name of sect. Eighth: Avoid arrogance and impetuosity, stay away from pornography, gambling and drugs! Think of anything and add it! Those who commit the above will leave the school!"
"Disciple (disciple and grandson) remember!"
"Okay, get up and sit down!"
"Master, since you are the originator of our Xiaoyao Sect, don't you want to have a resounding name? For example, the head of the Shushan Sect is called Qingzhen Sanren, and the head of the Kongtong Sect is called Wuxuzi! You should also get one!"
"En! Then I'll be called Xiaoyaozi! How nice it sounds!"
"Wow! The master is so good! Then you should give one to my apprentice too!"
I looked at Zhou Huairen's bearded mouth and said, "Your name is Toothless!"
"Wu Yazi? A good name, learning from the sea, the master is trying to persuade me to practice hard!" This Zhou Huairen has quite a rich imagination, I mean you have no teeth, okay?
"Master, what about me?"
"You? You're called heartless!" I looked at him angrily and said.
"Ah? Heartless? Master~"
Ahhahahaha burst into laughter.
"Okay, you'll be called Little Naughty Boy!" I said with a smothered smile.
"Little naughty boy? Isn't your real name too funny! What are you guys! You're little naughty boy!" He pouted dissatisfiedly.
"How easy to remember this name! When people ask you what your name is, you just say that you are a little urchin who knows everything! How loud!" I said with a thumbs up.
"Uh? Hehe! Is that right? That's good! I'll call you little urchin who knows everything! Hee hee!"
"Okay, it's getting late, you two can go to the guest room! Sleep in the water after you get back!" My mischievous energy came up.play them!
"Sleeping in the water? Master, I just confessed my wrong feelings at noon, so don't be so cruel!"
"What do you know! Let the girl get you a bucket of hot water, go in and take a bath, and then take off the meeting dress I gave you and soak in the water! It takes [-] hours ([-] hours) ) from now until tomorrow morning Mao! Hurry up! Don't talk nonsense!"
"It's the master! The apprentice still doesn't thank the master!"
"Oh! Thank you Master!"
in the corridor
"Master, what does master mean? Why don't I understand?"
"I'll understand tomorrow morning! Let's just do it! Anyway, it must be a good thing! What kind of panacea should your master give us!"
After they walked away, "Hahahahaha, I'm relieved this time!" I patted my thigh and laughed.
"Sir, you really are, what if the two of them catch a cold and get sick?"
"Ah... because it shouldn't be! There are earth dragons in the house, it's very hot, just go to the fire for them! Let's rest too! We have work tomorrow!"
☆, Goodbye Meiniang at the banquet
A good night's dream, Yingniang and I woke up early the next morning, because we couldn't sleep well if we weren't in our own home!After we washed up, we had breakfast in the house.I'm going to see how the master and apprentice are doing!
Busy figures in the corridor each held a large water basin filled with dark water.I took a look and wrinkled my nose in disgust: "Huh~, what is this?" I stopped a maid and asked.
"Good morning, son! These are ~ yes ~ the bath water of the two who came with you yesterday!" the maid said shyly.
"What? Bathwater? Did they really soak in the water all night?"
"This servant doesn't know! But according to the night watchman, these two got up early this morning before dawn. The night watchman said that when they entered the room, their bodies were wet, as if they had just washed their clothes. It's like taking a shower."
"Oh!"
"Master, good morning! Did you sleep well last night?"
I looked up and said, "Yelling? You look good! Your face is rosy, white and tender! Your whole person is different! Where's your master?"
"My master will come out soon! Thank you master!"
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for giving us." "Cough cough" a cough interrupted Broadcom's words.
"Master, good morning!" Zhou Huairen came over, bowed his hands respectfully and said good morning.
"Master, have you had breakfast?"
"Just ate!"
"Then let's talk in the room!" He seemed very excited.
"Okay! Let's go! Go to your room!" I nodded and walked ahead.
The house has been tidied up, and the bath water has been disposed of.I sat cross-legged on the upper seat.
Huai Ren took Broadcom and sat opposite me, and Huai Ren said excitedly, "Master! What's the name of the elixir you gave us? Is it the legendary Xisui Dan?"
"Washing marrow pill? How do you know?"
"It's really the marrow-washing pill?! I just looked like it! According to the reflection, Tuer guessed that it was like the legendary pill of washing marrow. Tuer's spirit has been opened, and all impurities in the body have been removed! With cultivation base, one A pure yang energy flows through the whole body! The acupoints of the four limbs are fully connected! The spiritual aperture is fully opened! At the age of 13, the apprentice dug out a wooden box from the ground while playing a game. There was a book in the wooden box. Regarding cultivation, I have practiced according to the book for more than [-] years, but I just got a glimpse of it! I haven’t even opened my eyes. I am stupid. I once wanted to worship under the Shushan sect, but people thought I didn’t have the root of wisdom. No Cheng Xiang disciple will be reborn one day, this is all thanks to your blessing, master! Thinking about my little disciple, I have good things at such a young age, I am really jealous! Master, you have brought us such kindness, we master and apprentice From now on, I will never be away from Master, and I will protect you through life and death!" This old Zhou was crying bitterly!
"Hey! Don't cry too! You're too old to cry like this, it's unseemly to be seen! Go wash your face! Xiaotong, fetch water for your master!"
"It's Master!" Xiaotong ran out sensible.
I took him to wash his face and ease his mood, and I said: "I will give you the marrow washing pill, but don't mention it to the outside world! As a teacher, I don't want to be the target of public criticism! I live a life of being chased every day! Especially you little playboy. Good mouth! Do you know?"
"It's Master! Remember it, little boy! Master, do you know? My five senses are clear now, and I can hear voices from miles away as long as I think about them. In the future, I will really be able to know everything! Master, I can sell it!" Is news exchanged for money?" Broadcom said excitedly.
"En! Let's talk about kung fu first! Otherwise, you don't know how you died! How long do you think a professional leaker can live if he doesn't have good martial arts?"
"Oh! Got it!" He shrank his neck and said.
"When the new house is settled, I'll have someone clean up that vacant lot and build a martial arts training ground! From now on, we'll practice kung fu every day!"
Boom boom boom! "Who is it?"
"Young master! My young master came to you and asked you to go to his room to have something to say." It was Dezi who spoke.
"Okay, I'll be right here."
Li Zhen's room
"Brother, what are you doing?" I pointed to the bank note on the table and said.
"Didn't I tell you last night! The reward is half of the silver! I've already converted it into a silver ticket for you, and the money houses in various places in the Tang Dynasty can exchange it! There is a total of 1000 taels of silver, how can you be interesting? But this You deserve it too! Sigh~ don’t blot it! It’s my brother’s, take it!” Seeing that I wanted to refuse, he hurriedly said.
"All right, all right, I'll take it. Whoever doesn't take the lost money is a fool! I'll thank you brother! We'll go to the bank to pick up people and clean up the new house in a while! Are you going?"
"You think I'm free! I'm going to the military camp in a while! Oh right! After three days, after you finish the housewarming banquet and give you two days off, you can obediently come to the military camp to take up my post! My military camp lacks What a sharpshooter like you!"
"No problem! Then do I live in the barracks all day long?"
"No need! Go there at [-]:[-] ([-]:[-]) in the morning, and return ([-]:[-]) at [-]:[-] p.m., bathing and repairing on the tenth day. You are the instructor and pay ten taels of silver per month plus two buckets of japonica rice and two buckets of flour. How about it? Well done!"
"Not bad! In fact, it's okay to live in the barracks at night!" I said with a smile.I thought, this military salary is not as much as your housekeeper!No, relying on this military salary for a month is not a long-term solution!I need to find a way to make some money!
"Why live in the barracks! You're a fool if you don't come home! Besides, you want your wife to stay alone! Are you willing?!" He smiled obscenely!
"Let's play! I have nothing else to do in that business. I'll go first. Before I leave, I'll go say hello to the old man!"
"Okay, let's go then?!"
"Go!"
When the Yahang brought people back, they assigned their own tasks, some bought quilts, some bought vegetables, and some cleaned. Fu Ma also came today, and Ying Niang helped me keep an eye on the house, and I I went to the horse market with my disciples and grandchildren. If I want to make a carriage, I must first buy a good horse.
I took a stroll around and bought two good horses, which cost my brother two months of military pay. I took the horses to the carpenter's shop, and I told them the structure and style of the carriage I wanted. make good.
The carriage I designed is like this: the upper cover can be stretched front and back, and the front can be stretched to block the driver when it rains or is too hot.There are many hidden compartments in the car, which can hold food and daily sundries.There is also a large hidden compartment under the car, which can hide things.The windows on three sides are all sliding doors, and there are edges outside the windows, which can keep out the rain when the windows are opened.The doors are two doors that open outwards.The interior space of the car is very large, and it is no problem to seat five people.I also went to Xiuge to make cushions and bought some purple brocade silk for decoration.
When I went back at noon, the house already had a sample. The servants burned the earth dragon. The earth dragon was made very well, and it burned smoothly, and the house was very warm!
I led everyone in the family, each with a handful of ambergris, and worshiped each kitchen god, and worshiped in all directions in each yard, and then shouted: "This house has a new owner! Gods, please move out of the way!" This is to tell some houses in the house that some of them have changed owners.So as not to collide with anything.
That night we ate warm pot rice at our new home, and then we stayed here.
It's in the master bedroom at night.
"Sister, let me rub your back! It's really hard for you to hook yourself!" Yingniang said to me through the screen wearing a yellow Tang Dynasty tube top dress.
"Ah? Okay!" I really didn't think too much about it. When I was in school, I often took a shower with my roommates and rubbed each other's backs. It was normal!
Yingniang came over gracefully and gently wiped my back with a linen bath towel.The heat surrounding the whole atmosphere is very beautiful.I spoiled the atmosphere just when this led people to imagine.
"Yingniang, try harder! The middle point, it's very itchy there, yes yes yes! Hurry up, hurry up, try harder!" Yingniang was sweating profusely!
I was so happy after washing, she smiled helplessly and said, "Sir, go to bed first, I'll change into clothes!"
"Well! I'm a little tight today, and I bought a few clothes that don't fit you well. Wait for the custom-made clothes to arrive in a few days, so let's change these few!"
"Can we wait until then? It can be changed tomorrow! Have you forgotten about the female celebrities of the Wang family? And the maids, Fuma helped to choose them, and they are all good female celebrities."
"Hehe, that's right! By the way, Yingniang, this is a 500 taels of silver. You keep it. There are a lot of places where money is used recently. You look at the control, and if you don't have it, you are asking me for it." I took out the 500 taels of silver Pass her the ticket.
"So much money! Where did it come from?" Yingniang asked me in surprise.
"Hehe, the emperor rewarded Brother Li, and Brother Li gave it to me!"
"Sir, shall we always collect Brother Li's things?" Yingniang was a little worried.
"It's all right! It's all a man's business! Don't worry about it! You can be your housewife at ease!" I said, clapping his hand.
"It's the mistress, what kind of housewife!" She smiled and sat on my lap.
In the past few days, I have become familiar with her, and I see her as a best friend in my heart. If there is anything I can't tell others, I will tell her.I naturally hugged her waist and said, "Don't you want to change clothes?"
"Oh! Yes, I forgot! Hehe!" He said, but couldn't get up.
"Don't forget to put away the bank notes. There are ten in total, 50 taels each. Go ahead, change your clothes and go to bed!" I joked as soon as I slapped her on the buttocks.
"Master, I'm back!" After changing her clothes, Yingniang returned to the couch and lifted the curtain, but her smiling face collapsed because~ I fell asleep!
The next day I packed myself up, I asked the boy to hire a couple of carriages, and I went back to my hometown to pick up my parents, children and my father-in-law's family.And I'm going to Wufu to have a banquet.I bought some gifts, which means, anyway, his house doesn't lack anything, it's just a thought.
Cao Meng stood at the gate of the Wu Mansion, pacing back and forth. When he saw me coming, he immediately went up to meet me.He said with a smile, "Hey brother! Please come inside! My master is already waiting for you in the living room! Well, this is the steward Zhao of our Wufu." He pointed to the old man beside him and said.
"It's polite to find the butler! I kept the old man waiting for a long time."
"My lord, please, my master has been talking about it all the time, wondering what kind of hero you are!"
"The old man won the award. He dare not be a hero!"
The Martial Mansion is really magnificent, it is comparable to Li Jing's family, as a modern person, I would even go to the imperial palace, this is actually nothing new, it just looks good, I don't have envy or amazement in my eyes.The old butler beside me has been watching me, seeing my calm expression and open eyes, he nodded secretly!
The samurai in the hall was sitting on the couch drinking tea. When he saw us coming in, he raised his head and said with a smile, "This is Mr. Li Zhuang! I have been waiting for you for a long time! Come here, sit here."
"Boy Li Mubai pays homage to the old Duke! Please forgive me for being late!"
"Hey~ No need to be too polite, please do it quickly! Come and see the tea! What kind of tea do you have? What do you add to it?" He said with a smile.
I sat next to his right hand and said respectfully: "Your junior can drink clear tea, no need to add any condiments."
"Oh? Hoho! This is very similar to the old man's taste, and the old man doesn't like to drink soup and tea! The young man looks handsome! The figure is also good! Mmm! Not bad, a good-looking talent! It's a pity! You already have I'm married, otherwise the old man really wants to introduce you to one!" He stroked his beard and said.
"Ah~haha! Hahaha~ The eldest son of the younger generation is [-] years old, and the youngest daughter is also [-] years old." I said with an embarrassed smile. "
"Hehehe! Alright! You are blessed with both sons and daughters! Butler, go and ask someone to inform Mei Niang, and tell her that his savior is here. Ask her to come over and toast you with a cup of tea!"
"No need, old Duke, don't bother Miss."
"Oh, no, no, no! How can I not repay my life-saving grace? I still want a toast of tea!"
Nima?The surname is Wu, and the name is Mei Niang!How dare I ask her to serve me tea, when she gains power in the future, she will kill me every minute!I swallowed, my hands trembling nervously!
"Come here, let's serve the food! My nephew, let's start the banquet in a while! If there are no outsiders, just me and my father, let's have a good meal."
"Yes! You don't dislike me!"
"Father!" At this moment a childish voice came, I trembled, here I come!
"Meiniang! I haven't seen your benefactor~"
"Meiniang has met benefactor." I hurriedly got up and stepped aside, bowed and saluted: "Don't dare! You are too polite, miss!"
"Benefactor seems to be very afraid of Mei Niang?"
"Ah? No no! It's awe!"
"Your benefactor was joking, Mei Niang is a little girl, what is there to be afraid of?"
"Uh~" I wiped my cold sweat with my hands, unable to speak.I dare say that I am afraid that after you become the emperor, you will remember that you once saluted me when you are idle, and if you are unhappy, you will kill my whole family?
"Okay, Mei Niang, don't mess around. You pour a cup of tea for your benefactor."
"Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no! Don't! What's the point of raising one's hand? When the road is injustice, draw your sword to help! It's the long-term love of a lover!" I was nervous and incoherent.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so nervous? Are you okay?" Wu Meiniang asked me funny when she saw me, and when he recalled this scene when his gray hair was vicissitudes of life, he still couldn't stop laughing!Smile and scold a fool!
But the samurai Xun is not like this
"All! I have a big greenhouse in my backyard! There are all kinds of vegetables, just for the convenience of the employer's testing." Hua Gu still said with a smile on her face.
"That's great. I'll pay for the food. Just let them do it. By the way, I'm making a pot of rice. It's enough for the few of us. I'll have dinner with you."
"All right, all right! Do as you say. I will arrange it now." After finishing speaking, she twisted her body and led the cooks away.
Fu's mother also got up and said, "Old slave, go and watch, lest some cooks get dirty hands."
"Then trouble you!" I said with a smile.
"You are so angry!"
"Brother! Come stay at my house tonight!" Li Zhen said.
"That's not good, it's too disturbing, we can just stay at the inn."
"Aren't you being polite to me? I'm going to be angry if you're so out of touch."
"Oh~ that's not the case! I have something to tell my disciples and grandchildren! Besides, when I come to your house, I will have to pay my respects to the women in the house. I didn't prepare anything, so it's too rude to go with Yingniang empty-handed. ! And Yingniang is not prepared, I am afraid she will be nervous!"
"Oh, you! Why are there so many worries? When you arrive at Chang'an City, at the gate of the brother's house, you go to the inn, where do you want me to put my face!"
"Today is really inconvenient. How about tomorrow, Yingniang and I are going to write a gift and visit your house, okay! At least give us some time to prepare!"
"What are you planning to come to my house! You don't need anything, it's good to just go! Let me tell you, our Li family has a lot of gifts, and we don't lack anything. You don't need to bring anything, I just gave it to us. The best gift for my family, what else do you want to bring? What is more important than my life!" He said seriously.
"Is this~ okay? It's impolite to have empty hands! Why don't you go out and buy some later! You're here, you know what your family likes!" Seeing that he was really angry, I had to go.In fact, I really don't want to go!It's too troublesome, seeing this and that, talking a lot, it's annoying to think about it!Living in an inn does not know how quiet it is.
"Hehe! That's right! If you must bring a gift, buy some pastries!"
"Just pastries? You don't pay much attention to it!"
"Oh! Are you going or not! The elders are so annoying!"
"Go, go! Dare you not go?" I thought to myself that I don't want to go, you must let me go, okay?
"By the way, dear brother, didn't Cao Meng say that Wu Fu invited you to a banquet? When are you going!"
"The date is set at noon the day after tomorrow."
"Well! Go! Mr. Wu is one of the founding heroes of the [-]th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. He treats you to dinner, it is to give you great face! Don't you not like to hear my brother say this, the main reason is the difference in status between you two. Too much disparity!"
"Founding hero?" I asked curiously.
"Why don't you know?"
"I don't know," I said innocently, shaking my head.
"I said, are you from the Tang Dynasty! You can find anyone on the street and he will know who the sixteen founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty are!"
"I know a few, but I really don't know Master Wu."
"Okay! It's fine if you don't know. Anyway, you're just going to have a meal, and you can't talk about policy matters. Just don't talk nonsense. Remember, don't drink too much wine, lest you will be broken again. !"
Er, he has been with me for a long time, and he can also use "Martian words", hehe!He saw me smirking and smiled too.
We all chatted for a while, and saw that Hua Gu led a few people and began to set the tableware.
"Gentlemen, try Chef A's first. She just made it and it's still hot. The others will come soon." Hua Gu said with a smile.
"Huagu, come along too!" I said kindly.
"Hey! Thank you for thinking about it. I'd better keep an eye on the servants! So that the servants don't mess up." She said with a smile.
"Then it's up to you! By the way, where are Fu Ma and De Zi?" I am a life of worry.
"Fu's mother is staring at the kitchen. She said that if the masters ask, let the servants answer on their behalf, saying that she will come with the last cook. After the dishes are ready, she will try the dishes. Before the masters eat A chopstick is for her to eat, poison her first if it is poisonous. This is the rule. The masters don’t bother because of her. The son follows the food delivery and keeps an eye on the road. Fu’s mother said that she is afraid that someone will tamper with it!” I just wanted to say that we There is no such rule in my family, and no one will poison me, but when I saw Li Zhen, I understood that Fu Mama is for her master, and I have nothing to do with it!So I swallowed this sentence with rice.
In this way, the dishes from the chefs came up one by one, and the large rectangular table could not fit. At the beginning, the cold ones were removed, and they were tasting and commenting. Finally, there were three cooks left. I was so embarrassed The choice is mainly because they each have their own strengths, and I love to eat them all.But is it a bit too much for me to have three cooks? Our family has three meals a day, and we can't eat a few dishes. In fact, one cook is enough.
Fu's mother saw my embarrassment, and smiled and said to me: "If you like it, you can keep it! The three cooks will cook faster. If there are guests, or New Year's Day, don't worry about not having enough cooks." It is more convenient to have two for the master and one for the servants."
"Well, it's true! Then these three are kept!" I thought that the family has a lot of people, and the husband's family will come in the future, so we can't just eat four dishes for twenty people!And added a lot of servants, ah!I suddenly feel that money is not enough, I have to work hard to earn money, otherwise, I will not be able to afford food in less than half a year!Think about it, your family has to make some decent clothes, or else even the servants will look down on you, and you have to pay the servants to change and wash clothes throughout the year, and you have to take care of their three meals a day, and also I have to buy some sets of jewelry for Yingniang and Niang, my dear mother!I can't live anymore!Things got bigger!If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come with Li Zhen. I would have bought four or five servants by myself. What a pair of concierges—Sun Laifu and Wang Yuanxi (hereafter referred to as Laifu and Xizi), five servants in front. Courtyard, (five maidservants are in the backyard, two maids, two Yingniangs, Xiao Niuniu, a Dong'er with a servant, father and a servant), three cooks,.Xizi's queen Meng's name is Hehua, and she will be called Hegu from now on. She is in charge of Yingniang's backyard, and will be Yingniang's right-hand man from now on.As for Wang Huaiyuan, I plan to test his knowledge first, let him enlighten the children, and observe for a while before deciding what to do with him.
In this way, there are a total of seventeen servants, and the price is different according to the grade and quality, because all the signings are dead contracts, so it is more expensive, and Huagu finally asked for 150 taels of silver!These are all Fu Ma talked with her!Fu Ma often buys people and she knows the price!The two of them didn't bargain like that in front of us, but the two of them gestured with their hands in the sleeves in the corner. This is called holding hands, which is a rule in the industry.After they set the price, they just let me know.I can't say anything at all, you have seen the owner of that house bargaining with the traffickers.Although I can do this, I'm not afraid of embarrassment, but I can't embarrass Brother Zhen, can I?
I couldn't help sighing in my heart: Why is Nima so expensive!Half of my property is gone!It seems that I have to go home and look through the gifts from Li Zhen and the Wu family. If there is anything that can be sold, I will exchange it for silver!
Assi!I didn't bring that much money with me!
"Well, it's getting late now, you should draw up the contract first, and we'll all sign it with our fingerprints, and then I'll pick it up tomorrow!" I paused, and wanted to say, I'll give you a deposit of [-] taels first, The rest will be paid tomorrow when you come to pick up the person.But before I could open my mouth again, Hua Gu kept laughing and said, "All right, all right! You can come to pick up the person whenever you are free. The extra [-] taels of money you gave after shaving off the ingredients is still left. It’s okay to stay for a few more days.” She knew in her heart that I had just opened the mansion and was in a hurry to hire people!How could it be possible for the servants to stay for a few more days.
Give me [-] taels more?I didn't say give more?I looked at Xiang Fu's mother suspiciously, and asked her what's going on with my eyes?
She was very smart, and said to me with a smile: "Young master, Hua Gu and I have set the price. The servants are 170 taels in total, and the ingredients are about [-] taels. Putting it together is more than [-] taels. The old woman thinks that it is getting dark now." , I don’t have time to arrange for the servants, so let them stay with Huagu first, let Huagu boil some hot water for them to wash them well, and then change into clean new clothes, so it’s worth [-] taels! The woman gave the banknote to Hua Gu without discussing it with you."
"Oh! It's okay! You've done a good job!" I looked at Li Zhen and saw him smiling with satisfaction, so I laughed too. Don't you understand?I took advantage of Li Zhen again!
Hua Gu went to prepare the contract, and we whispered next to Li Zhen: "I will pay you back later!"
"Let's play! If you give it to me, I'll throw it away and feed it to the dog!" Li Zhen also whispered in a low voice.
"That's impossible, the dog will die if it eats the silver!" I continued to whisper.
"Haha, you were the one who killed me! Don't mention money to my brother, it hurts feelings. You have just started a mansion, and there are many places to spend money! To tell you the truth, His Majesty rewarded me with a lot of gold and silver for this victory, half of which is yours. , go to my place later, take it away!"
I stared at him with two eyeballs: "You are stupid!"
"You are stupid! Compared with life, gold and silver are nothing! Besides, I am not short of money, so I put it aside, and whoever lacks money will use it! Don't worry about it anymore! If you have something to say, go home and talk about it." .”
This time I didn't talk anymore, because he said he had something to say when he went home, he was going home!He didn't use 'go back to my house to talk' but 'go home', he really didn't treat me as an outsider!Is this the kind of brotherhood between men?If you have money, you can spend it together, and never haggle over it!Even if you borrow money from each other and don't pay it back, don't care about it!I didn't understand it before, but now I seem to understand it a little bit.But I still want to ask: what to ask?What exactly is this for?
☆, named
After signing the contract and agreeing to come to pick up the person tomorrow, we left Yaxing and sat in the carriage, which was staggering forward.inside the car
"Brother, what should I buy when I get to Chang'an Street? By the way, how many people are there in your family? What do you like?"
"Well, our family is now apart from my second uncle. My grandfather, my parents, two aunts, one concubine brother, and two younger sisters. I have one wife and two concubines, one and two daughters. Look at me Buy it!" Li Zhen said to me with a smile.
"Amount~~" I opened my mouth and couldn't speak!I thought to myself, how do I buy this nima, and how much I buy is too much!
"Ahahahaha! I'm teasing you! You don't want to buy anything, just eat pastries for dinner at this point, let's go to Wuweizhai
, women like to eat candied fruit, stuffed plums and other snacks, children like to eat spiced melon seeds and southern milk peanuts, my father and grandfather like to drink tea, you just buy some Maojian and oolong.Just eat something to clear your mouth after a meal! "
"Ah! That's all for now!"
"Don't look at it as simple as it sounds, it costs a lot of money to add it up!"
"Okay! As long as the family doesn't dislike it, it's fine!"
By the time I finished buying gifts at Wuweizhai, it was already dark, but the street was brightly lit and there was a constant flow of people.
"The nightlife in this city is quite lively! Do you have to go out at night?" I asked curiously
"Forbidden! At three o'clock in Haishi (today [-] o'clock) the streets will be banned." Li Zhen said with his ear out.
"Oh! The two second-hand goods I just received will go with me?" I asked shyly.
"Don't worry, our house is very big and there are many rooms. Don't you have something to say to them! Let's go together!"
Lee House
In fact, it's not as complicated as I thought. When I met people, I just nodded and exchanged greetings. They thanked me for saving Li Zhen, and said that I was polite and brought some gifts!Li Zhen's mother also gave Yingniang a pair of very eye-catching spring white mutton fat jade bracelets.Wow, I made money this time!
Since it was getting late, Li Zhen arranged for us to go to the guest room.living room
"Kneel down!" I sat on the mat and patted the crime with my left hand and said calmly.
"Master! The Bo notice is wrong! Please calm down, Master!" Zhou Botong knelt on the ground and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
"Since you have joined my sect, you should follow the rules. It's also my fault that I didn't have time to tell you the rules of the sect. Listen now, and don't forget it in the future." I looked at him and said solemnly.I can't let them trouble me!Besides, I'm a person who died once, it's okay for them to worship me, and I don't take advantage of them!
Zhou Huairen also knelt down when he heard that I wanted to talk about the rules of the house.Listen respectfully.
"I have my own school. I don't have a master. My martial arts are mainly fists, feet, and palms. I don't have any great skills. I can't go to the sky, don't hide, don't hide, and don't disguise myself. I don't have any immortal skills. You won't learn much by following me! If it's too late for you two to repent now, the apprenticeship ceremony at noon will be deemed useless."
Yingniang heard the commotion in the hall in the back room, and smiled and thought, "My silly husband, it really looks like that!"He is really a bit of a gentleman, what should I do if I admire him more and more? '
Zhou's master and apprentice thought, Master (Master Zu) is angry!Because Broadcom is talkative today?oops!Master, he wants to drive us away, but we haven't learned a lot!Can't go!
"Master! Don't be angry! Don't drive us away! We've been following you for the rest of our lives!" "Yes, Master! It's Botong who talks too much today! Don't be angry, Botong will never do it again. Be sure to remember Your old teaching."
"Okay! I've already said my word. Since the two of you still refuse to leave, you must remember the house rules."
I have to think about it, I have edited some at home in the past two days, and now I have to perfect it, so I thought, and said slowly: "Well, I was the only one in the past, and I didn't even choose a pie name. , now that I have you two, in the future you will accept disciples to ask about the name of the school, it would not look good if you don’t have one! Let’s do this! Let’s get one now for the teacher! Well, what’s the name? Do you two have any good opinions? ?”
"Master, there are Shushan School, Huashan School, and other mountain schools in Jianghu. They are all named after mountains. We also have Cuihua Mountain in Chang'an. Why don't we call it Cuihua Mountain School?"
"Cuihuashan? Still sent? It's too long! The Shushan faction is stationed on Shushan, and the Huashan faction is stationed on Huashan. You call us the Cuihuashan faction. Do you want me to live on the mountain?"
"Ah...Okay! I didn't say anything about my disciples!"
"Well...or is it called Ghost Mountain School?" I thought about it for a long time, thinking that I am also a ghost!
"Ghost Mountain School? It's too intrusive! Is there such a mountain in Chang'an?" Botong tilted his head and said.
"Don't you think this name is very domineering? It scares people when they hear it! It overwhelms others in terms of momentum!" I said with a smile.
"But master, this name sounds really crooked!"
"Ah... it's a little bit haha! Or is it called the ghost school?"
"Master! Why did you confront a ghost? Why don't we call it a supernatural power school!" Huairen was helpless!
"Why don't we call it Taixu sect! Don't all of us cultivators want to become real bodies and travel through Taixu?" Huairen said longingly.
"Taixu? This name sounds false! When someone asks you what kind of sect you are, are you brave enough to say it? You are still too empty! I am still too empty!"
"What sects are there in Jianghu now?" I asked them.
"There are Shushan School, Huashan School, Kongtong School, and Shaolin School! Then there are some small sects that are not well-known."
I suddenly thought of a name that has been with me for more than 20 years: "What do you think of the 'Wing Chun School'? I practice Wing Chun for my master."
"Yongchun? Eternal youth? Master, do you practice the boxing technique of immortality? But why does the name Master sound like a female school?" Huairen asked.
. . .It's also because they don't know Aunt Wing Chun.All right!I have an idea.
"Okay! I've already decided on a name for my teacher, how about calling it 'Xiaoyaopai'!" I said proudly.
"This is good! It's like a fairy! It's good!" Er Zhou agreed that it was good.
"Well, our sect will be called Xiaoyao sect from now on. Now we're going to talk about the rules of the sect, you have to remember it! I'll say it this time." Because I forgot after I finished speaking.
"First: Don't bully your masters and destroy your ancestors, and don't betray your masters. Second: Unite with each other and don't kill each other. Third: Don't publicize your sect everywhere, keep a low profile. Fourth: Don't make your own claims, treat illnesses today Don’t let the same things happen again! Fifth: Don’t steal. Sixth: Don’t oppress others. Seventh: Don’t go out to deceive others in the name of sect. Eighth: Avoid arrogance and impetuosity, stay away from pornography, gambling and drugs! Think of anything and add it! Those who commit the above will leave the school!"
"Disciple (disciple and grandson) remember!"
"Okay, get up and sit down!"
"Master, since you are the originator of our Xiaoyao Sect, don't you want to have a resounding name? For example, the head of the Shushan Sect is called Qingzhen Sanren, and the head of the Kongtong Sect is called Wuxuzi! You should also get one!"
"En! Then I'll be called Xiaoyaozi! How nice it sounds!"
"Wow! The master is so good! Then you should give one to my apprentice too!"
I looked at Zhou Huairen's bearded mouth and said, "Your name is Toothless!"
"Wu Yazi? A good name, learning from the sea, the master is trying to persuade me to practice hard!" This Zhou Huairen has quite a rich imagination, I mean you have no teeth, okay?
"Master, what about me?"
"You? You're called heartless!" I looked at him angrily and said.
"Ah? Heartless? Master~"
Ahhahahaha burst into laughter.
"Okay, you'll be called Little Naughty Boy!" I said with a smothered smile.
"Little naughty boy? Isn't your real name too funny! What are you guys! You're little naughty boy!" He pouted dissatisfiedly.
"How easy to remember this name! When people ask you what your name is, you just say that you are a little urchin who knows everything! How loud!" I said with a thumbs up.
"Uh? Hehe! Is that right? That's good! I'll call you little urchin who knows everything! Hee hee!"
"Okay, it's getting late, you two can go to the guest room! Sleep in the water after you get back!" My mischievous energy came up.play them!
"Sleeping in the water? Master, I just confessed my wrong feelings at noon, so don't be so cruel!"
"What do you know! Let the girl get you a bucket of hot water, go in and take a bath, and then take off the meeting dress I gave you and soak in the water! It takes [-] hours ([-] hours) ) from now until tomorrow morning Mao! Hurry up! Don't talk nonsense!"
"It's the master! The apprentice still doesn't thank the master!"
"Oh! Thank you Master!"
in the corridor
"Master, what does master mean? Why don't I understand?"
"I'll understand tomorrow morning! Let's just do it! Anyway, it must be a good thing! What kind of panacea should your master give us!"
After they walked away, "Hahahahaha, I'm relieved this time!" I patted my thigh and laughed.
"Sir, you really are, what if the two of them catch a cold and get sick?"
"Ah... because it shouldn't be! There are earth dragons in the house, it's very hot, just go to the fire for them! Let's rest too! We have work tomorrow!"
☆, Goodbye Meiniang at the banquet
A good night's dream, Yingniang and I woke up early the next morning, because we couldn't sleep well if we weren't in our own home!After we washed up, we had breakfast in the house.I'm going to see how the master and apprentice are doing!
Busy figures in the corridor each held a large water basin filled with dark water.I took a look and wrinkled my nose in disgust: "Huh~, what is this?" I stopped a maid and asked.
"Good morning, son! These are ~ yes ~ the bath water of the two who came with you yesterday!" the maid said shyly.
"What? Bathwater? Did they really soak in the water all night?"
"This servant doesn't know! But according to the night watchman, these two got up early this morning before dawn. The night watchman said that when they entered the room, their bodies were wet, as if they had just washed their clothes. It's like taking a shower."
"Oh!"
"Master, good morning! Did you sleep well last night?"
I looked up and said, "Yelling? You look good! Your face is rosy, white and tender! Your whole person is different! Where's your master?"
"My master will come out soon! Thank you master!"
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for giving us." "Cough cough" a cough interrupted Broadcom's words.
"Master, good morning!" Zhou Huairen came over, bowed his hands respectfully and said good morning.
"Master, have you had breakfast?"
"Just ate!"
"Then let's talk in the room!" He seemed very excited.
"Okay! Let's go! Go to your room!" I nodded and walked ahead.
The house has been tidied up, and the bath water has been disposed of.I sat cross-legged on the upper seat.
Huai Ren took Broadcom and sat opposite me, and Huai Ren said excitedly, "Master! What's the name of the elixir you gave us? Is it the legendary Xisui Dan?"
"Washing marrow pill? How do you know?"
"It's really the marrow-washing pill?! I just looked like it! According to the reflection, Tuer guessed that it was like the legendary pill of washing marrow. Tuer's spirit has been opened, and all impurities in the body have been removed! With cultivation base, one A pure yang energy flows through the whole body! The acupoints of the four limbs are fully connected! The spiritual aperture is fully opened! At the age of 13, the apprentice dug out a wooden box from the ground while playing a game. There was a book in the wooden box. Regarding cultivation, I have practiced according to the book for more than [-] years, but I just got a glimpse of it! I haven’t even opened my eyes. I am stupid. I once wanted to worship under the Shushan sect, but people thought I didn’t have the root of wisdom. No Cheng Xiang disciple will be reborn one day, this is all thanks to your blessing, master! Thinking about my little disciple, I have good things at such a young age, I am really jealous! Master, you have brought us such kindness, we master and apprentice From now on, I will never be away from Master, and I will protect you through life and death!" This old Zhou was crying bitterly!
"Hey! Don't cry too! You're too old to cry like this, it's unseemly to be seen! Go wash your face! Xiaotong, fetch water for your master!"
"It's Master!" Xiaotong ran out sensible.
I took him to wash his face and ease his mood, and I said: "I will give you the marrow washing pill, but don't mention it to the outside world! As a teacher, I don't want to be the target of public criticism! I live a life of being chased every day! Especially you little playboy. Good mouth! Do you know?"
"It's Master! Remember it, little boy! Master, do you know? My five senses are clear now, and I can hear voices from miles away as long as I think about them. In the future, I will really be able to know everything! Master, I can sell it!" Is news exchanged for money?" Broadcom said excitedly.
"En! Let's talk about kung fu first! Otherwise, you don't know how you died! How long do you think a professional leaker can live if he doesn't have good martial arts?"
"Oh! Got it!" He shrank his neck and said.
"When the new house is settled, I'll have someone clean up that vacant lot and build a martial arts training ground! From now on, we'll practice kung fu every day!"
Boom boom boom! "Who is it?"
"Young master! My young master came to you and asked you to go to his room to have something to say." It was Dezi who spoke.
"Okay, I'll be right here."
Li Zhen's room
"Brother, what are you doing?" I pointed to the bank note on the table and said.
"Didn't I tell you last night! The reward is half of the silver! I've already converted it into a silver ticket for you, and the money houses in various places in the Tang Dynasty can exchange it! There is a total of 1000 taels of silver, how can you be interesting? But this You deserve it too! Sigh~ don’t blot it! It’s my brother’s, take it!” Seeing that I wanted to refuse, he hurriedly said.
"All right, all right, I'll take it. Whoever doesn't take the lost money is a fool! I'll thank you brother! We'll go to the bank to pick up people and clean up the new house in a while! Are you going?"
"You think I'm free! I'm going to the military camp in a while! Oh right! After three days, after you finish the housewarming banquet and give you two days off, you can obediently come to the military camp to take up my post! My military camp lacks What a sharpshooter like you!"
"No problem! Then do I live in the barracks all day long?"
"No need! Go there at [-]:[-] ([-]:[-]) in the morning, and return ([-]:[-]) at [-]:[-] p.m., bathing and repairing on the tenth day. You are the instructor and pay ten taels of silver per month plus two buckets of japonica rice and two buckets of flour. How about it? Well done!"
"Not bad! In fact, it's okay to live in the barracks at night!" I said with a smile.I thought, this military salary is not as much as your housekeeper!No, relying on this military salary for a month is not a long-term solution!I need to find a way to make some money!
"Why live in the barracks! You're a fool if you don't come home! Besides, you want your wife to stay alone! Are you willing?!" He smiled obscenely!
"Let's play! I have nothing else to do in that business. I'll go first. Before I leave, I'll go say hello to the old man!"
"Okay, let's go then?!"
"Go!"
When the Yahang brought people back, they assigned their own tasks, some bought quilts, some bought vegetables, and some cleaned. Fu Ma also came today, and Ying Niang helped me keep an eye on the house, and I I went to the horse market with my disciples and grandchildren. If I want to make a carriage, I must first buy a good horse.
I took a stroll around and bought two good horses, which cost my brother two months of military pay. I took the horses to the carpenter's shop, and I told them the structure and style of the carriage I wanted. make good.
The carriage I designed is like this: the upper cover can be stretched front and back, and the front can be stretched to block the driver when it rains or is too hot.There are many hidden compartments in the car, which can hold food and daily sundries.There is also a large hidden compartment under the car, which can hide things.The windows on three sides are all sliding doors, and there are edges outside the windows, which can keep out the rain when the windows are opened.The doors are two doors that open outwards.The interior space of the car is very large, and it is no problem to seat five people.I also went to Xiuge to make cushions and bought some purple brocade silk for decoration.
When I went back at noon, the house already had a sample. The servants burned the earth dragon. The earth dragon was made very well, and it burned smoothly, and the house was very warm!
I led everyone in the family, each with a handful of ambergris, and worshiped each kitchen god, and worshiped in all directions in each yard, and then shouted: "This house has a new owner! Gods, please move out of the way!" This is to tell some houses in the house that some of them have changed owners.So as not to collide with anything.
That night we ate warm pot rice at our new home, and then we stayed here.
It's in the master bedroom at night.
"Sister, let me rub your back! It's really hard for you to hook yourself!" Yingniang said to me through the screen wearing a yellow Tang Dynasty tube top dress.
"Ah? Okay!" I really didn't think too much about it. When I was in school, I often took a shower with my roommates and rubbed each other's backs. It was normal!
Yingniang came over gracefully and gently wiped my back with a linen bath towel.The heat surrounding the whole atmosphere is very beautiful.I spoiled the atmosphere just when this led people to imagine.
"Yingniang, try harder! The middle point, it's very itchy there, yes yes yes! Hurry up, hurry up, try harder!" Yingniang was sweating profusely!
I was so happy after washing, she smiled helplessly and said, "Sir, go to bed first, I'll change into clothes!"
"Well! I'm a little tight today, and I bought a few clothes that don't fit you well. Wait for the custom-made clothes to arrive in a few days, so let's change these few!"
"Can we wait until then? It can be changed tomorrow! Have you forgotten about the female celebrities of the Wang family? And the maids, Fuma helped to choose them, and they are all good female celebrities."
"Hehe, that's right! By the way, Yingniang, this is a 500 taels of silver. You keep it. There are a lot of places where money is used recently. You look at the control, and if you don't have it, you are asking me for it." I took out the 500 taels of silver Pass her the ticket.
"So much money! Where did it come from?" Yingniang asked me in surprise.
"Hehe, the emperor rewarded Brother Li, and Brother Li gave it to me!"
"Sir, shall we always collect Brother Li's things?" Yingniang was a little worried.
"It's all right! It's all a man's business! Don't worry about it! You can be your housewife at ease!" I said, clapping his hand.
"It's the mistress, what kind of housewife!" She smiled and sat on my lap.
In the past few days, I have become familiar with her, and I see her as a best friend in my heart. If there is anything I can't tell others, I will tell her.I naturally hugged her waist and said, "Don't you want to change clothes?"
"Oh! Yes, I forgot! Hehe!" He said, but couldn't get up.
"Don't forget to put away the bank notes. There are ten in total, 50 taels each. Go ahead, change your clothes and go to bed!" I joked as soon as I slapped her on the buttocks.
"Master, I'm back!" After changing her clothes, Yingniang returned to the couch and lifted the curtain, but her smiling face collapsed because~ I fell asleep!
The next day I packed myself up, I asked the boy to hire a couple of carriages, and I went back to my hometown to pick up my parents, children and my father-in-law's family.And I'm going to Wufu to have a banquet.I bought some gifts, which means, anyway, his house doesn't lack anything, it's just a thought.
Cao Meng stood at the gate of the Wu Mansion, pacing back and forth. When he saw me coming, he immediately went up to meet me.He said with a smile, "Hey brother! Please come inside! My master is already waiting for you in the living room! Well, this is the steward Zhao of our Wufu." He pointed to the old man beside him and said.
"It's polite to find the butler! I kept the old man waiting for a long time."
"My lord, please, my master has been talking about it all the time, wondering what kind of hero you are!"
"The old man won the award. He dare not be a hero!"
The Martial Mansion is really magnificent, it is comparable to Li Jing's family, as a modern person, I would even go to the imperial palace, this is actually nothing new, it just looks good, I don't have envy or amazement in my eyes.The old butler beside me has been watching me, seeing my calm expression and open eyes, he nodded secretly!
The samurai in the hall was sitting on the couch drinking tea. When he saw us coming in, he raised his head and said with a smile, "This is Mr. Li Zhuang! I have been waiting for you for a long time! Come here, sit here."
"Boy Li Mubai pays homage to the old Duke! Please forgive me for being late!"
"Hey~ No need to be too polite, please do it quickly! Come and see the tea! What kind of tea do you have? What do you add to it?" He said with a smile.
I sat next to his right hand and said respectfully: "Your junior can drink clear tea, no need to add any condiments."
"Oh? Hoho! This is very similar to the old man's taste, and the old man doesn't like to drink soup and tea! The young man looks handsome! The figure is also good! Mmm! Not bad, a good-looking talent! It's a pity! You already have I'm married, otherwise the old man really wants to introduce you to one!" He stroked his beard and said.
"Ah~haha! Hahaha~ The eldest son of the younger generation is [-] years old, and the youngest daughter is also [-] years old." I said with an embarrassed smile. "
"Hehehe! Alright! You are blessed with both sons and daughters! Butler, go and ask someone to inform Mei Niang, and tell her that his savior is here. Ask her to come over and toast you with a cup of tea!"
"No need, old Duke, don't bother Miss."
"Oh, no, no, no! How can I not repay my life-saving grace? I still want a toast of tea!"
Nima?The surname is Wu, and the name is Mei Niang!How dare I ask her to serve me tea, when she gains power in the future, she will kill me every minute!I swallowed, my hands trembling nervously!
"Come here, let's serve the food! My nephew, let's start the banquet in a while! If there are no outsiders, just me and my father, let's have a good meal."
"Yes! You don't dislike me!"
"Father!" At this moment a childish voice came, I trembled, here I come!
"Meiniang! I haven't seen your benefactor~"
"Meiniang has met benefactor." I hurriedly got up and stepped aside, bowed and saluted: "Don't dare! You are too polite, miss!"
"Benefactor seems to be very afraid of Mei Niang?"
"Ah? No no! It's awe!"
"Your benefactor was joking, Mei Niang is a little girl, what is there to be afraid of?"
"Uh~" I wiped my cold sweat with my hands, unable to speak.I dare say that I am afraid that after you become the emperor, you will remember that you once saluted me when you are idle, and if you are unhappy, you will kill my whole family?
"Okay, Mei Niang, don't mess around. You pour a cup of tea for your benefactor."
"Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no! Don't! What's the point of raising one's hand? When the road is injustice, draw your sword to help! It's the long-term love of a lover!" I was nervous and incoherent.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so nervous? Are you okay?" Wu Meiniang asked me funny when she saw me, and when he recalled this scene when his gray hair was vicissitudes of life, he still couldn't stop laughing!Smile and scold a fool!
But the samurai Xun is not like this
