Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 52 Entering Beijing to Replace Job ([-])

"Treasurer Du, are the masks that our young master ordered you ready?"

In the Derun cloth shop on Dadong Street, Yang Xiaolu held a shelf and said to Du Maozhen, the shopkeeper of De Run cloth shop.

"Hehehe, back to Master Yang, the thousand masks have all been made according to the requirements of the young master. These are finished products, please have a look at them, Master Yang."

Under Du shopkeeper's order, Zhang Wanchu, an old man from Derun Buzhuang, carried out a big package for Yang Xiaolu to have a look at.

Yang Xiaolu nodded, opened the bag, took out one of the masks, tried it on his face, and thought that the young master is amazing, let people make this thing called a "mask", then those who are now in the "Big Five" Those who work in the Zhaibao Cement Factory are not afraid of dust.

He tried a few, and said with satisfaction: "Well, the workmanship is good, then..." He stretched out his hands and calculated, "A mask costs four Wen... well, a thousand is four taels of silver." He took out four broken pieces of silver, and slapped them on the counter with a "snap", "This is the fabric wages given to you by the young master, shopkeeper Du, take care of it."

Shopkeeper Du Maozhen took one of the pieces of silver with a smile on his face, and carefully put it back into Yang Xiaolu's hands: "This is the tea money for Young Master Yang, please take it away, and I hope that Master Yang will be more present in front of the young and old." A few words."

Yang Xiaolu showed a smile on his face, pointed at shopkeeper Du Maozhen and said with a smile: "It's better that shopkeeper Du is wise, well, if the young master wants to make masks and other things in the future, I will recommend you Derun cloth shop."

The shopkeeper Du Maozhen was overjoyed, and thanked him deeply.

※※※

After shopkeeper Du and Zhang Wanchu bowed deeply to see him off, Yang Xiaolu left Derun Cloth Village. He put the big burden on the horse's back and was about to get on the horse.Suddenly heard a voice from the side saying: "Hey, isn't this Brother Yang?"

Yang Xiaolu turned around, but saw Liu Zongqi and Qian Shi standing together with smiles on their faces, and Qian Shi was raising his hand to greet him.

Yang Xiaolu said "Oh": "So it's Liu Zongqi and Mrs. Qian, what a coincidence."

Qian said: "Brother Yang is carrying a big burden, where are he going?"

Yang Xiaolu said: "It's nothing, the young master ordered the young one to go to Derun Buzhuang to make some things. Are you going back to Qianhu House now?"

General Manager Liu said: "Is it very tight to go back to Qianhu House?"

Yang Xiaolu said: "It's not too urgent, just send it back today."

Liu Zongqi and Qian Shi looked at each other, and Qian Shi smiled and said, "Seeing that it's almost noon, Brother Yang probably hasn't eaten yet. It just so happens that your sister-in-law made some dishes, so let's go have a few drinks together?"

Yang Xiaolu said: "No need, let's try another day."

But seeing Liu Zongqi and Qian Shi come up, they couldn't help but say that Qian Shi was pulling people, and Liu Zongqi led the horse, so they pulled Yang Xiaolu away.Yang Xiaolu was just putting on a show, and immediately went with the two of them.

When I arrived at Junjiang Street, I came to the door of Liu Zongqi's house.But Liu Zongqi's home was being renovated, the cracks in the hut were filled with new mud, and some bricks and tiles were added to the front door of the house, which made Liu Zongqi's house look more or less decent.During these times, Liu Zongqi received a lot of rewards from Huang Laifu because of his hard work.Already have some money left over to fix up the house.

When they entered the house, they saw Liu Yumei and her grandfather, Old Man Liu, also there.At this time, Liu Yumei was busy working in front of the stove, her grandfather was helping to light the fire, and Liu Erniu and Liu Zongqi's two children were playing around.

Seeing Yang Xiaolu come in, Liu Yumei and Old Man Liu hurried over to greet Yang Xiaolu, Liu Yumei still had a shy look on her face.

Yang Xiaolu was still a bit airy towards Qian Shi and Liu Zongqi, but he greeted Liu Yumei politely, and bowed his hands to old man Liu, making a joke. Seeing that the young man seemed to be interested in this Miss Liu, he himself You're welcome, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future.

Liu Zongqi and Qian Shi looked at each other, and Qian Shi smiled at Yang Xiaolu: "Come, come, Brother Yang, this way please."

Several people gave way to take their seats, only to see several large bowls of dishes on the table, including meat and vegetables, and a jug of wine.Ever since the military craftsmen helped Huang Laifu do things, life has been far better than before.

Under Qian's greeting, Liu Yumei and Old Man Liu also came and sat down, their expressions a little reserved.Old man Liu just laughed and didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Qian enthusiastically poured wine for Yang Xiaolu: "Today is a coincidence. Originally, the two of us were going to invite Brother Yang over for a drink, but we met each other on the street. Come, come, Brother Yang, let's go up A glass."

Yang Xiaolu said: "It's easy to talk about." He was not polite at the moment, and had a drink happily.

Had a few drinks and ate some food.Qian said tentatively: "Brother Yang, I want to ask you something. You are the person who follows the young master every day, and you understand many of the young master's thoughts. You also saw what happened yesterday. I have some opinions on the cleanliness of the livestock farm, look...this...hehe..."

After Mrs. Qian came back from the big livestock farm yesterday, the more she thought about Huang Laifu's attitude, the more nervous she became. She was always worried that Huang Laifu would blame her for neglecting her duties. After talking to her husband Liu Zongqi, he was also a little worried.After the two discussed, they remembered that Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu who were beside Huang Laifu were the young master's confidantes, and both of them understood the many thoughts of the young master, so it is better to ask them to explain clearly.He also happened to meet Yang Xiaolu on the street, and that's how he had today's meal.

Yang Xiaolu snorted, and said with a smile: "It turns out that this is the matter, Mrs. Qian doesn't have to worry, the young master didn't mean to blame him, she just said it casually yesterday, Mrs. Qian doesn't need to worry, of course, the young lady gave her orders yesterday Matter, Mrs. Qian still needs to be tight."

Qian Shi and Liu Zongqi looked at each other, both of them were smiling, and they breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts were relieved.

Qian said repeatedly: "Of course, of course, your sister-in-law Qian has always been very strict about what the young master ordered, and never dared to neglect."

Yang Xiaolu hummed: "That's good, that's good. Those of us who are servants, what the young master orders is a big matter, and we must not neglect it at any time."

Mrs. Qian nodded again and again, while General Manager Liu complimented, "Master Yang is worthy of being the person who walks beside the young master. His speech and knowledge are different."

After Liu Zongqi said this, Yang Xiaolu felt a little complacent, pointed at Liu Zongqi and said, "Master Liu, you are good in everything, but there is one thing that is not good, that is, you like to tell the truth."

Everyone laughed, Liu Yumei covered her mouth and chuckled, and Old Man Liu laughed along with her.

Mrs. Qian persuaded Yang Xiaolu to drink again and again, suddenly snorted, and said: "Thinking of Wang Qinian yesterday, your sister-in-law Qian is angry, and the nonsense she said, if it weren't for the magnanimity of the young and old, our family might be killed by this or something. The goods were destroyed."

"Brother Yang, you were here about yesterday's incident. Tell me, whether the words that Wang Qinian said yesterday were intentional or unintentional, and made your sister-in-law worry all night." Qian stared at Yang with sharp eyes. The little donkey said.

Yang Xiaolu also snorted: "This poor man, it's hard to say he did it on purpose, he's just that frivolous, yesterday in Qianhu's house, he uttered nasty words, saying that the young master's farms are useless, Thanks to the magnanimity of the young master, I didn't care about him. Hmph, he was lucky to meet a good master."

Liu Zongqi was filled with indignation, and cursed: "Rampant, you don't know how to control yourself, so you can blame him at will? It's a good fortune for him. If you meet someone as benevolent as you, if you meet someone else, hum! "

Yang Xiaolu sneered and said: "Students, you are just like this bird, always thinking that you are great, but in fact you are just a sour guy." He remembered something, and laughed softly: "This sour guy thinks he is noble, but he doesn't even think about himself. I can’t even keep my wife, I’ve heard that this sour guy has a daughter-in-law who has never been married since he was a child, but because he can’t get used to this guy’s style, he ran away with a businessman not long ago.”

When Huang Laifu was entertaining Wang Qinian yesterday, when he was talking about this, a young man who delivered food happened to come up. Hearing a few key words, the young man immediately used his rich imagination, added more oil and sauce, and weaved A set of wonderful stories with strict organization and reasonable logic. As of today, this story has been known to everyone in the thousand households, and it has a tendency to spread rapidly to all parts of Wuzhaibao.

Both Liu Zongqi and Qian Shi couldn't help being very interested when they heard it, and then they asked in detail.Liu Yumei also giggled when she heard that.

After Qian's and Liu Zongqi's knots were resolved, both of them relaxed and ate and drank happily.

Mrs. Qian glanced at Liu Yumei and said with a smile: "There is one more thing, I need to ask Brother Yang to help Shenxiang Shenxiang."

Yang Xiaolu was a bit drunk, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing Liu Yumei beside her blushing, Qian secretly slapped her face, smiled secretly, and said, "It's like this, when I saw Eldest Young Master at the big livestock farm that day, he seemed to be very fond of Yumei. Mei is a bit interested, does Brother Yang think this is true?"

Yang Xiaolu smiled and said, "Oh, so that's what happened."

He pondered, and analyzed: "Well, I have seen the expressions of the young and old a few times. I guess the young and old should have this meaning. Miss Liu's appearance can be counted in Wuzhaibao, especially in Wuzhaibao. After raising him for a few months, he looks more like a flower than a jade, so it's not surprising that he is tempted. Otherwise, why doesn't he nod and smile at other girls, but why does he nod and smile at Miss Yumei?"

"That's right, that's right." Qian Shi said, "I guess that's the reason. It seems that Yumei's happy event is going to come true."

Several people analyzed and analyzed, but the more they said, the more certain they became. Liu Yumei blushed and ran away covering her face. Everyone looked at her back and laughed.

Old man Liu also laughed foolishly beside him. For him, he was already old, and he didn't know when he would go.Having only two granddaughters was his constant concern.No matter what you say, this young man must be the most ideal person in Wuzhai Fort. If he can marry into the Qianhu House, then he will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life. Even if Old Man Liu stretched his legs, he can rest assured.I am worried about whether my granddaughter will be able to climb high.

Qian Shi said: "It would be great if Yumei could enter the door of the young master. If she eats delicious food and spicy food in the future, she will never be able to enjoy it for the rest of her life. I just don't know what the young master proposed, when will Yumei be able to enter the door."

Yang Xiaolu murmured: "I'm afraid there is no rush. My young master and Miss Gu's family got married on the auspicious day of September [-]th in autumn. If they still want to take concubines, I'm afraid it will not be until next year. Otherwise, even if the old lady is not jealous , it’s not easy to explain to Mr. Gu.”

Everyone nodded again and again, Liu Yumei secretly listened behind the door, and felt relieved at this moment.

The meal lasted until noon, and Yang Xiaolu was so drunk that he belched full of thanks from everyone, held his waist knife horizontally, and left with his stomach straight.
