Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 97

Children don't understand adults' affairs;
Outsiders don't understand the matter of husband and wife.

During the nine-day legal wedding holiday, Fan Zheng took care of his thoughts carefully, and then, the father and son squatted on the porch and sighed to each other.

Three dynasties have passed, and the virtues of my own wife are clear.

He has a good capacity for alcohol, but he doesn't drink often, and he is not addicted.

Temperament is also good, easy-going, a little too lively, but still smart.

It's good to get along with my aunt or not, at least everyone can get along and not get sulking.

However, in a family, two generations of mistresses can't cook, what should I do?
Every family has its cupboard!

Fan Zheng has to sit in the yamen every day, and Fan Laoshi also needs to spend more time in Fan's woodware workshop. There are two women in the family who can kill people with a little salt, what to do?

Poor that pot of wax gourd soup, in the end it boiled out of the pot, turned into pieces of winter melon floating in the sea, and had to be rescued with a fence.

孽 孽!
Why didn't Wu Zhi ask at the beginning, would he be a cook?
Of course, this was the result of asking. It is impossible for Fan Zheng not to marry Du Shengxia because she can't cook.

"Let's hire a cook." Fan Zheng stood up and stretched his body. "Yizhi, I can recruit three concubines. Isn't there still a quota? Anyway, no one said that concubines must not be cooks."

Fan Laoshi pinched his fingers and excluded those who could be cooks in Dunhuafang one by one.

First of all, Aunt Fan has to rule it out. She cooks well and has a lot of money, so why should she be your servant?

"Wait, you said that being a servant is exempt from corvee? You forgot that taxes and miscellaneous labor are all paid in dime, and the cook herself doesn't need this provision, does she?"

Fan Laoshi, too honest, took this one seriously with Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng laughed: "She doesn't need it, and his man doesn't need it? Even a widow can sell the quota of exemption from corvee."

Fan Laoshi has never seen those overtime credits that cannot be cashed in later generations, as cheap as ten yuan a day!
After hesitating for a long time, Fan Laoshi said: "The No. 1 choice in the workshop is Ku Zhenzhen, but..."

Ku Zhenzhen is reconciled, not a widow, but a single woman still has a lot of disputes, and Tie Dazhuang, that licking dog, always wants to be a taker.

Please ask Ku Zhenzhen to be the cook, because Ku Zhenzhen is much older than Fan Zheng, and Fan Laoshi's reputation is also strong. It is not easy to catch fire in the backyard, but those gossips tend to gossip.

Well, this can make Lu Jiasheng warn, whoever chews his tongue, those benefits for seeing a doctor, going to school for children, and condolences to widows and lonely in the workshop will be gradually reduced. Let's see if this can be filled.

The problem is that there is Le Lin's existence, which is a very disgusting thing.

They don't make a fuss, even if they show their faces in front of Ku Zhenzhen twice a day and don't talk, what can you do?
Fan Zheng called Lu Jiasheng over and whispered a few words in his ear to finish the job.

Ku Zhenzhen looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief, and said in a low voice, "My filial obedience has not been removed, and your family has a new wedding, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

This was a reason Fan Zheng didn't expect.

Fan Zheng turned around to discuss with Fan Laoshi, Yuan Luan, and Du Shengxia, but no one cared about it.

In other words, even if you care a little bit, you can only quickly discard distracting thoughts on the premise that you don't know how to cook.

Heck, making some food or something is much harder than wine tasting (fighting)!
You want to say that the corvee that the servants themselves are exempt from is not as good as what Ku Zhenzhen earns by working in the incense workshop. Don’t forget that Fan Zheng has [-] cash for servants supplied by the imperial court. Two thousand and five hundred cash, and then exempt from corvee for cash, at least six thousand cash.

Ku Zhenzhen is in Xiangfang, fifteen cash a day, which is about five thousand four hundred.

There are only a few people in Fan's family, so it's much easier to cook his family's food.

The work of Xiangfang doesn't look heavy, and it can be tiring even if it lasts.

Even if the meals that Ku Zhenzhen made were slightly different from Mrs. Fan, people who were not very picky would not be able to eat them.

She also knows some Tanzhou dishes, such as goose neck meatballs (egg roll meat), fake lamb made from pork and cornstarch (Gorgon), glutinous rice pork meatballs, and pickled pork with preserved vegetables, which are mouth-watering.

Not to mention cassava and corn in the Americas, mung bean flour and lotus root starch are also good starches.

The embarrassing Le Lin family no longer appeared in front of Ku Zhenzhen.

The reason is very simple. Fan Zheng asked Lu Jiasheng to reveal intentionally or unintentionally that Lexi was working as a servant for a certain nobleman, and that nobleman might not be suitable. Of course, the worried Le Lin didn't have the heart to make trouble.

Rumors are such a thing, it’s a waste of time to name names, and speciousness is the truth.

Then when you pursue it, hey, it turns out that they were talking about the car wheel, but you were taken into the ditch.

A little wicked, but also helpless.

Perhaps because she felt that the money was taken too lightly, Ku Zhenzhen helped the two wives clean up the housework from time to time, and the Fan's house became much cleaner.

……

Nine days passed, and the supervisory censor was called out from the warm bed early.

The person calling him has become Du Shengxia.

Fan Zheng could only dress and get on the donkey half asleep and half awake, and accept the greetings of the cold wind in the early winter morning.

Holding the small hand stove in his arms, the slowly burning animal charcoal drives away some warmth.

The colleagues in the office congratulated Fan Zheng one after another, all of them were extremely friendly.

However, on the day of their wedding, Fan Zheng had already clearly distinguished the close and distant relatives.

It's not about "fate", but about attitude.

Even Liu Wen and Hua Ming only followed [-] essays, wouldn't Fan Zheng still accept it with a smile?
You know, all officials have a magical skill, they don't need to remember who gave the gift, but they must remember who didn't.

It's not entirely for Aduwu, sometimes it also represents an attitude.

Therefore, Li Yifu felt that it was a joke that Fan Zheng was accepted by the other censors.

In their hearts, colleagues with rich backgrounds look down on Li Yifu, who is utilitarian, and Fan Zheng, who comes from humble backgrounds.

Therefore, even if it was the act of sending a servant to Dunhuafang to follow the ceremony, they were unwilling to do it.

Li Yifu had a smile on his lips and a knife in his eyes. Fan Zheng understood with just one look. Seeing that Fan Zheng passed the exam, these colleagues became jealous and wanted to dig a hole for Fan Zheng.

The chief inspector, Liu Fan, went to the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion to examine the merits and decipher the truth. At this time, the second seat Kan Ting was in charge of overall arrangements for the daily affairs.

Seemingly kind-hearted, Kan Teng opened his mouth like a big hole: "Fan Zheng Yushi is young and promising, and it just so happens that there is an errand here to judge the truth, and it's not too far away. Xue Yantuo has three hundred heads, would you like to visit them?"

Li Yifu blinked frantically.

Good guy, it's not that far away, just three thousand 310 miles!

If Fan Zheng was not familiar with geography, he would not be able to come back before the first day of this trick!

The point is, Fan Zheng just came out of Fuzhou and Bizhou, why should he go to Guazhou to eat sand?
Just because of the poor in-laws spring water?

　Thank you Qiushui for rewarding two or three mountains, I wish you as strong as a mountain, with Qiushui's long-term companion!
