Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 208 Martial Arts Conference
A maid carefully carried a bowl of soup and came to the door of the main room in small steps.

She looked timidly at the nanny who was kneeling by the door: "Nurse Hu, this is the bone soup made in the kitchen for the eldest lady."

As soon as the nanny turned her eyes, she looked the servant girl up and down almost instantly, without any emotion in her eyes, and there was no expression on her face.

Hu Nanny stretched out her hand, and with a pinch of her fingers, she picked up the purse from the maid's waist and dropped it on the floor.

"As I said before, no money bags, sachets, sachets, or boxes are allowed to be brought within three feet of the eldest lady. No incense or medicine is allowed on the waiters, and no alcohol is allowed. If you commit the third Once again, I will go back to the lord and put you elsewhere."

The maid nodded tremblingly, and handed the tray of soup to Mammy Hu.

Nunnery Hu sniffled, glanced at the silver hairpin next to the soup bowl, and immediately showed a mocking look in her eyes.

"Don't listen to those rural idiots, who dares to use silver utensils to stir up the big lady's soup and rice, I think it's better to sell it directly, that's peace of mind."

The maid almost shed tears.

Nanny Hu took two black chopsticks, stirred them skillfully in the soup, then quickly put them into her mouth, closed her eyes and tasted for about ten breaths, then nodded: "Send it in!"

The maidservant lowered her head and carried the tray into the main room. Madam Hu conveniently put the pair of chopsticks into a tray on her right, and there were dozens of same unused chopsticks in another tray on her left. Chopsticks.

Hu Nanny took a look at the situation in the main room, only the eldest lady and her close maid Bailu were there.

Her eyes kept sticking to the maid who brought the soup in just now, until after the maid left the main room, she scanned the table and the ground closest to the eldest lady in the main room, and then she looked away.

Nanny Hu is not willing to enter the big lady's room.

She has just been redeemed from the single prison cell in the palace. Although she has changed her clothes, wiped her body with light lime water, and even shaved off a lot of her hair with a grate, she still decided not to leave her house within a month. Close to the side of the big lady.

The breath of spring outside the corridor was lingering in Mammy Hu's nostrils, and a new life of a family was brewing in the main room, Mammy Hu felt a little bit like the world for a while.A few days ago, she was threatened by her enemies to kill her, so she also thought that she had no way out.

The lord went there three times in order to redeem her, but the steward who was ordered by the enemy didn't let go until the lord gave the steward a total of four hundred official tickets, and added: "You just want her to die, now you just want her to die. When she is already dead, is it feasible?"

Four hundred guan is enough to buy ten criminal servants like her!The hometown of the steward has [-] acres of land.

She also asked the lord, why did she have to buy her?
"The one who knows the value of a person best is not his friends, but his enemies. So, I believe you are worth more than those four hundred pens!"

Footsteps sounded in the corridor, and Baiying came over with a plate of food.

Nanny Hu picked up a pair of clean chopsticks from the left again, and tasted several dishes on Baiying's food plate one by one, until the last eight-treasure porridge was so mixed that she couldn't distinguish the whole contents for a while. , she took it out directly.

Bai Ying brought the food in, and soon Meng Xiaowan's voice of reluctance came over.

"Grandma Hu, please forgive me, I like the eight-treasure porridge the most."

Madam Hu immediately bowed to salute.

"Although the servant knows that the eldest lady is joking with the servant, the servant dare not accept this, and the things in the porridge are too complicated, it is better not to eat it."

Meng Xiaowan had no choice, she stopped after eating something, and vomited back after a while, the maidservants looked worried, but Nanny Hu treated it as usual, and just asked someone to bring some appetizing snacks .

"It's not scary to vomit, but I'm afraid I won't continue to eat."

Meng Xiaowan ate a few pastries, but she couldn't eat any more, so she asked Bailu.

"I can't stay at Zhuangzi all the time. How is the arrangement for returning to the city? Where's the third girl?"

Bai Lu smiled: "At this time, I'm afraid it's still time to see flowers on the mountain."

Meng Xiaowan shook her head and smiled.

She was in a hurry to go back to the city, firstly because her favorite books and calligraphy were all in the city, secondly because there were many doctors and pharmacies in the city, and thirdly because it was convenient to buy whatever she wanted to eat.The second thing is that there was a small incident with Yuyao and the others. Zhang Zhe had no choice but to come forward to solve it in person. In addition, there was a book fair held there, so he was indispensable, and he would not be seen for a few days .

Gu Shuyi was reading alone in the pavilion, and that page of the book hadn't been touched for a long time.

Behind the tree a hundred steps away from the pavilion, Jiang Shangyang's voice of reciting the book was melodious.

Sihailou, one of the three largest restaurants in Jiangling.

On the third floor, more than 20 tables were spread out, all kinds of delicious dishes and wines were placed on the tables, and there were four or five dishes stacked on the big round table for banqueting guests.

On the second floor, there are more than 40 tables, and the food and drink are only slightly inferior, and people of all kinds are noisy eating and drinking.

Degree led Zhang Zhe up the stairs from the first floor.

When passing by the second floor, hundreds of "strange people and strangers" saw the host coming, and sang a song to Qi Qi.

Some people from other places put down their wine bowls and pulled the "good guys" around them.

"Who are those two? Just now, the old rudder leader Du of the Dajiang Club came up, and there were only four or fifty people to say hello. When these two people came up, the audience was filled with bowls!"

The man squinted at him with contempt on his face.

"You don't know these two, how dare you mess around? The older one is today's host, Mr. Xiong Cheng, the eight-armed man! As for the young one, it's even more remarkable, he is the famous one." Bloody Scholar 'Zhang Xinzhi Zhang Langjun! Tianlong and Condor Shooting are all out of his hands."

The man suddenly opened his mouth wide, his face full of shock!
On the third floor, instead of the worldly masters as people imagine, there are all the bosses and representatives of the degree franchise.Covering the four southern provinces of Dazheng, there are a total of hundreds of booksellers in 25 counties.

Amidst a burst of compliments and compliments, Degree and Zhang Zhe sat down, and after drinking for three rounds, Degree opened up the topic.

"Everyone, the Book Alliance has been established for two months. Today, we gathered here to get closer to each other, and to talk about the book we will print next."

A big bookseller in Xuanling immediately agreed.

"A while ago, the books of Mr. Xin Zhilang were sold in short supply, and now there are still piles of deposit slips in several of my shops. Especially those monks, I don't know how many times I have ordered "Journey to the West". It’s like a bottomless pit. We, Jiangyou, have expanded the edition of this set of books to twenty sets, and we won’t have to worry about selling them in three months after printing!”

When it comes to the most profitable "Journey to the West: The Legend of Shi'er", all the booksellers are smiling, but some booksellers are worried.

"Everyone, it's true that the money in this temple is easy to make, but the cold face in this temple is also quite annoying!"

This remark immediately resonated with many people. Taoism is very displeased with the fire of "Journey to the West: The Legend of Shi'er", and has been exerting pressure on the booksellers through various channels.
