MTL - A Scumbag Father Doting on His Concubine-Chapter 182 The face of Zhuangzi
Quickly changed clothes and served refreshments, the rain was still falling non-stop. The sky was covered with leaden clouds, low and heavy, and it was almost dusk. The rain will not stop for a while.
Xie Yunshu is so lucky that she rushed here in the rain, otherwise when would she have to wait?
She glanced at Xu Yan and Cui Xia, and said with a smile: "Since Guan Nai is here, and there are servants in the village to take care of you, you should go home and reunite with your family for two days. If Qingqing has any good friends, just don't worry about it." go."
Qingqing immediately shook her head like a rattle: "I won't go! I will stay by Missy's side to serve."
As far as loyalty is concerned, An Tong and Xu Yan are also loyal, but the enthusiasm and sincerity in Qingqing's eyes is beyond anyone's eyes.
Being more loyal than Qingqing? Can't compare, can't compare!
Everyone expected that she would say that, and everyone laughed when they saw that it was true.
Xu Yan glared at her and joked, "You are the best at showing loyalty, don't compare us all! You say that, we are embarrassed to leave!"
Qingqing blinked, and then blurted out naturally: "Then don't leave, how nice it is to serve the eldest lady!"
Everyone laughed more and more, Xie Yunshu almost choked on the tea in her mouth.
Xu Yan couldn't laugh or cry: "Oh, I really can't open my mouth. If I ask you to say this, it will block my way out."
Cui Xia also laughed: "Then you don't need to talk about it anymore, otherwise we will lose face!"
Xie Yunshu laughed: "She is still young, so don't bother with her! Go, your family is waiting for you."
Tang Xuyan and Ding Cuixia really missed their family members, and there were many things they wanted to say to them. When they heard this, they smiled and said goodbye, and left soon.
Xie Yunshu sent someone to invite Tang Guanshi, Ding Jili, Zhao Qinghe, and Master Yuan to the main hall.
The guests and hosts sat down separately, and chatted a few words politely. Xie Yunshu smiled and apologized for the poor conditions in the village, and asked Steward Tang to take Master Yuan and his party to the guest courtyard, and make sure to settle down and treat them properly. "If there is any negligence, please forgive me, Master Yuan."
"Miss Xie, don't be so polite," Master Yuan said with a smile, "It's a blessing to be able to rest here on a rainy day. How can you dislike it? Don't worry, Miss Xie! By the way, the scenery here is excellent, which is quite interesting , if Miss Xie doesn't mind, can we stay for two more days?"
Xie Yunshu smiled: "What's the matter, Mr. Yuan, just stay here."
"Haha, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome!"
Steward Tang invited Mr. Yuan to the guest house with a smile on his face, and specially asked his wife to arrange for two reliable and capable women to take care of the chores, and then asked someone to explain the cooking and hospitality in the kitchen. Don't neglect the eldest lady. Friends, let the young lady lose face.
Look at the sky, even if Tang Guanshi and Ding Jili have a lot to say, it is not appropriate to say it at this time. After saluting, they respectfully retreat and come back tomorrow.
Xie Yunshu was also a little tired, and soon took a rest after dinner.
The next morning, when Xie Yunshu woke up, the sky had already cleared up. High and blue, the blue sky is like washing, the sun is shining and bright, after the rain washes, the air is extraordinarily fresh, and the vision is also extraordinarily clear and bright. The idyllic fireworks curling up from the cooking smoke make people feel happy and happy.
Breakfast is thick and soft millet porridge, homemade shredded radish, pickled cucumber strips, salted beans, sesame, red oil and garlic mixed with diced pickles, shredded bamboo shoots in red oil, etc. served with the porridge. There are also buns stuffed with mushrooms, bamboo shoots and meat, and dumplings stuffed with shrimp.
Qingqing said with a happy smile: "These are all fresh products produced in our village. Mrs. Tang's craftsmanship is very good. I tasted it once before and never forget it. Miss, eat it while it's hot."
Xie Yunshu nodded with a smile; "You come along, too, and Nanny Guan, let's have breakfast so we can get down to business!"
Not long after breakfast, Master Yuan arrived with Guanshi Tang and others. Guanshi Tang and the others were laughing and talking to Master Yuan, Mr. Jin, and Mr. Lin, their brows full of pride.
Seeing Xie Yunshu, Master Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Xie is a very good village, and the people in the village are all very interesting, haha!" It doesn't look like it's faked.
Xie Yunshu also laughed, a little smug: "It's good that the villagers are safe and honest!" Zhuangzi's current transformation is not easy. She spent a lot of thought and invested a lot of money! Of course, the effect is still good.
Master Yuan's words, she accepted them calmly.
Even though Xie Yunshu put on a modest appearance, how could that little complacency that couldn't be suppressed hide from Master Yuan's eyes? Master Yuan couldn't help laughing.
Master Yuan and the others didn’t need the company of Xie Yunshu or the stewards, and they planned to take a walk around at will. Xie Yunshu noticed that Master Yuan was a stable and elegant person, not the frivolous and flirtatious one, so she smiled and said a few words politely, and let them go.
There is nothing in her village that she can't tell others, and occasionally there are one or two places where outsiders are not allowed to enter, and they can't go there either.
Zhuangzi is very good now, but Zhuangzi of her majestic Pingbeihou Mansion is not afraid of being missed.
They can just go shopping if they want. It is rare for her to come here. When the draft is approaching, it is even more impossible to go out like this. There are countless things to discuss with Tang Guanshi and the others, and there is really no time.
Master Yuan and his party walked casually in Zhuangzi, and they were all amazed along the way.
But all the roads are clean and tidy, all the roads are solidly crushed with gravel, smooth, no water accumulation, gutters and gutters are unobstructed and free of dirty garbage, not even a single mosquito.
In the distance, a large number of houses are neatly lined up. Looking over, you can see rows of houses with courtyards, the same size and shape, neat and square, row after row.
Peach, plum, apricot, persimmon, loquat, hawthorn, pomegranate, elm, locust tree, osmanthus and other trees can be seen everywhere in the surrounding area, and low clumps of mint, calamus, wormwood, honeysuckle, radices, wolfberry, money Grass and other common herbs.
Dogs barking, **** crowing, children playing, it's so lively.
Seeing strangers visiting, several playful children stopped and looked at them. One of them, who was a little older, saw that they didn't seem like bad people, so he pulled a few younger ones to greet them.
Mr. Lin laughed and said, "Are you all from this village? These houses are your homes?"
The children all laughed and said yes.
The older one spoke clearly, and said bluntly: "Our area is called the second district of Weiziling Manor. Look at the sign, it says that this lane is the first lane of the second district, and next to it are the second lane and the third lane of the second district. We are all tenants in the Zhuangzi. This house was drawn by the eldest lady herself and asked to be built. Each family has a set. The rent of a house like this is only two taels of silver a year. It is in the northeast corner. There is also a six-cent vegetable field! As long as you follow the rules set by the young lady and don’t make mistakes, you can rent it for a lifetime! My father and mother said that we are planting the young lady’s field now, and we can still work in the village , The vegetables grown in the vegetable field are enough for the whole family to eat all year round and can also feed some chickens and ducks, which is much better than before! Many older brothers and sisters can learn a lot of skills along with them!"
