The rise of the poor

Chapter 540
The feng shui master left just like that, and the auntie and the others couldn't hold back, so they disappeared on the small road in the village with their cloth bags in their arms.

"Sister-in-law, did you hear what the celestial master said, the place where my son lives is an auspicious house!" Mother Chen lifted her chin and scoffed at her aunt.

The eldest aunt couldn't lift her head up in front of her mother, so she returned angrily; the grandmother also found a reason to say that there was still a fire on the stove, and followed her back to the old house; the fourth and third aunts told their mother Chen Conversation, followed by meeting the old house.

"Master Zhang said that the place where my family Ping Anlang lives is an auspicious house. This Tianshi is amazing. The previous magistrate has invited him." The grandfather walked with his hands behind his back, smoking a pipe, and talking to an old man of a similar age. The tone was full of pride, and the grandfather's face was shining red in the sunset.

"Then why did you divide Ping'an Lang's family out, otherwise your old house will also be ruined..." Hearing what the grandfather said, the old man next to him said something.

Hearing this, my grandfather was silent, only the scarlet burning point of the cigarette pipe was flickering in the setting sun. After a long time, he sighed. The figure of my grandfather seemed to be old in the setting sun...

After the feng shui incident, my mother, Mrs. Chen, chatted with a few nearby aunts and aunts, and kept talking about Zhang Tianshi and my son.When the aunts and aunts echoed and praised Zhu Ping'an, the mother Chen waved her hands and said there was nothing wrong with it. In order to prove that Zhu Ping'an was not so "excellent", the mother Chen's proud face picked out the embarrassing things about Zhu Ping'an's childhood A few things were said:

"When this silly boy was three years old, his grandfather gave him ten pennies to sell tobacco leaves at the entrance of the village, and the extra penny was for him to buy candy."

"After a while, this silly boy came back with a piece of candy in his mouth, and gave nine cents to his grandfather, saying 'the tobacco leaves at the entrance of the village are sold out'."

"Give me a good beat..."

"Also, when he was young, he went to the field with a few friends to pluck other people's edamame to eat, and hid in the crop field to avoid people, and then fell asleep..."

Sure enough, it was my own mother. Things happened when I was a child. Fortunately, Zhu Ping'an was not there, otherwise I would be ashamed and have the urge to hit the wall.

Behind the door of the new house opposite, Baozi's little maid and Li Shu were listening behind the door with their waists bowed.

Zhu Pingan ate dinner in the new house, because Zhu Pingan was about to leave for the capital. In order to let the young couple spend more time alone, his mother Chen drove Zhu Pingan, who wanted to stay at home for dinner, back to the new house.

The reason why he had to leave for the capital so soon was because of Zhu Pingan's impeachment memorial when he left Beijing. In the afternoon, the magistrate of Huaining sent several packets of tribute noodles and an urgent letter.Huaining tribute noodles have been hand-picked by the imperial palace since the Song Dynasty, and the magistrate of Huaining County uses tribute noodles every year as a favor to give away; the urgent letter was sent from the capital in a hurry, and the letter from the Ministry of Punishment, Ask Zhu Pingan to set off to the Ministry of Criminal Justice as soon as possible to make a statement.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice has already issued two urgent letters like this.

Although there are still some holidays, but in this situation, Zhu Ping'an can only set off for the capital as soon as possible.

Zhao Daying killed the good and took the credit!

Hehe, I hope you don’t regret rushing me back to Beijing in such a hurry!

"Uncle is back." The girls bowed their waists to salute when they saw Zhu Ping'an, and Zhu Ping'an nodded in response.

In the room, there were two girls who were waiting for Li Shu to wash her hands. One girl was holding a small washbasin in both hands, and the other girl was holding a towel in her hand, standing respectfully in front of Li Shu and serving her.

The little maid of Baozi first put her little hand into the small washbasin, tested the temperature, then puffed up her face and said, "I'm getting more and more careless, just now I emphasized to you to add more hot water, this will be fine. Forgot again?"

"Good sister, we just mixed the hot water, maybe it's cold. Sister Que, please pour some hot water with my sister." The little girl who was holding the water apologized, and then begged the girl who was making tea next to her. Added more hot water to the basin.

After adding the hot water, Li Shu began to wash her hands. When Zhu Ping'an came in, Li Shu had just finished washing her hands. When she saw Zhu Ping'an coming in, Li Shu put the towel she had wiped in the little girl's hand again. Tell the girl to bring Zhu Ping'an water to wash his hands again.

"Do not bother."

Zhu Pingan shook his hand, then walked over, and washed himself with the water that Li Shu had washed. The water was very clean and there was no need to fetch another basin.

The little girl next to her covered her mouth and smiled.

Seeing this, Li Shu's pretty face couldn't help but blush, and the red candle made her a little more shy, her watery eyes gave Zhu Pingan a white look, and she said angrily, "I really don't know what's good~~".

While Zhu Ping'an was washing his hands, the maids filed in and brought in the meals prepared by the back kitchen, and neatly placed them on the dining table.The dishes are very rich, full of color, flavor and taste, such as anchovy shark fin, red plum and pearl, Kung Pao hare, roast pork tenderloin of Fuzi melon, sesame rolls and several vegetarian dishes, which filled a table.

Finally, there are no more jellyfish, leeks, mutton and pork kidneys.

There is also a stewed soup in a casserole in the center, it should be chicken soup, exuding a strong aroma, just looking at it is very appetizing.

"You can make less next time, we can't finish eating so much."

Zhu Pingan looked at the table full of meals, thought for a while and said, there are almost ten dishes, and I always feel that it is a waste for two people to eat.In fact, four dishes and one soup are already very rich. When I was in the old house, there were only one or two dishes for a meal.

"If you can't eat, give it to the girl and the old lady. They have been serving for a long time, and they haven't eaten yet." Li Shu glanced at Zhu Ping'an, and the corner of her mouth raised an elegant arc, and she was used to setting a table with food.

"Thank you, Miss Xie." All the maids serving in the room beamed with joy.

Well, I am a bit of a bumpkin, Zhu Pingan remembered the bridge in the Dream of the Red Chamber, it seems that this is a common practice of the big family.There are less than ten dishes and more than dozens of dishes for each meal of the big family, and there are only a few masters who eat, so there will be a lot of meals left in each meal.The rest of the food will be distributed to the maid and the old lady at the master's house.

There are many rules in the big family, and there are rules for eating. If the master has not eaten dinner, the servants cannot have dinner.Therefore, the leftover meals of the masters will not be wasted.Awarded to the girl and the old lady, the people who were rewarded all looked proud.Moreover, not everyone can receive this kind of reward, only girls and old ladies with status can receive this kind of treatment, which is a symbol of status.

The little maid of Baozi served Li Shu for dinner, served dishes and soup, and there was another little girl who wanted to come and serve Zhu Ping'an for dinner, but Zhu Ping'an waved her hand and declined, because she had hands and feet, so she didn't need others to serve her.
