Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 2: On the way to Jiangning (2)

Before arriving at Dongyang Mansion, Gu Wuchen was still traveling lightly. Apart from his family, there were only three entourages, the maid, the maid, the mother-in-law, and Yang Pu's wife and daughter. After encountering an assassin in Shiliang County, even if Gu Wuchen still wanted to drive lightly, Shen Rong, the prefect of Dongyang Prefecture, would not agree. What would happen to Gu Wuchen on his last 200-mile journey from Dongyang to Jiangning? Shen Rong cried. are too late.

In addition to Liu Xilin, the deputy commander of Yunqi, leading a team of elite cavalry guards, this huge official ship was also prepared by Dongyang Palace, and the cooks and boatmen were all servants from Dongyang Palace. In addition, Liang Zuoren, the magistrate of Shiliang County, said that the lack of jobs around Gu Wuchen caused people to run away, and sent two people to Jiangning to wait for the dispatch. Like the cook Xiao Shi, the two of them were supported by Shiliang County, and Shiliang County even paid for the three people's meals in advance.

Throughout the ages and even thousands of years from now, those who will become officials will not be able to play too unexpected tricks.

Lin Fu took the wooden barrel full of hot vegetable broth from the cook Xiao Shi, and greeted Liu Xilin on the shore: "General Liu, Mr. Gu is sympathetic to the hard work of the military men and escorted them all the way, here is the hot cooking. The vegetable broth is given to the military men to enjoy..."

One of Liu Xilin's subordinates shouted smartly towards the cabin: "Thank you for your shirt!" He led the two of them down the beach, and took the soup bucket and a stack of bowls. Liu Xilin gave the proper instructions on the shore, and jumped on the boat, and whispered to Lin Fu, "You paid for this broth in private, how can you give your favor to Master Gu?"

Lin Fu smiled and said, "I can meet General Liu, isn't it because I'm taking care of your Lord's favor?"

Liu Xilin, a military general, thought that he was chased by assassins and his comrades outside Gujia Village a few days ago. Not only did he stand by, but he also prevented them from entering the village to avoid the enemy. Lin Fu had no grudges, and he didn't mean to look down on these rude soldiers. He was very grateful.

Gu Wuchen accompanies his family to dine in the cabin. There are female relatives. Lin Fu, Liu Xilin, and Gu Wuchen's two nephews, Gu Siming and Gu Tianqiao, all stayed in the outer cabin to dine with Yang Pu, Yang Shi and his son, as well as another accompanying horse.

Even domestic servants are divided into three, six, nine, and nine. Gu Wuchen's book boy; Ma Chao was originally a military man in Yanming Station in Yanbei. He saved Gu Wuchen's life several times when he was in the army. When Gu Wuchen was released from his crime and returned to the capital, he took off his military status and stayed by his side. .

It is said that the prime minister's family slaves, the seventh-rank officials, Yang Pu, Yang Shi and his son, and Ma Chao, even Liang Zuoren, the magistrate of Shiliang County, would also be flattered. Lin Fu could only admit that he was unlucky, and offended these three when they first met. Sitting together to eat, the three of them were also taciturn.

In the narrow cabin, Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu, and Chen Enze crowded on another table with the servants sent by Liang Zuoren and Ding Tou on the official ship. There was another table. The cook, boatman, and other servants were all at the stern, and they could not easily come to the front without being summoned. The place on the official ship is not big and there are many inconveniences, but everything is in order, and everyone keeps their own rules.

To let Lin Bie's temper, he would rather drink vegetable broth and pancakes with Liu Xilin, Zhou Pu and the others on the shore than with Yang Pu and others in a narrow cabin in the nest. But it was Gu Wuchen's nephew Gu Siming who was a little excited, and kept boasting that he had seen the prosperity in Jiangning Mansion in the past: "Lin Juren, you have also been to Jiangning, you have experience, you should know that the restaurant over there has four or five floors. Gao, the rich and alcoholic go upstairs. They don’t call it upstairs, they call it mountaineering. Most mountaineers refuse to drink too much alcohol. , she sings that little song that only breaks the heart, if you have heard it, you will know that what I said is false or true..."

Lin Fu thought that Su Mei and Xiaoman probably didn't know that they would be able to go to Jiangning tonight.

"Lin Juren..." The lady of the Xiao family came out of the inner cabin and called Lin Fu.

The lady of the Xiao family wears a cloth and hairpin skirt. She is dressed as fresh as the maid who is dining on the side. She wears a blue-printed apron, and when the waist is slightly closed, she has a graceful charm. Her skin is as fresh as snow, and her crow colored hair is pulled back It was a little fluffy, which made her face look more charming, and it was a beautiful and charming young woman.

The cabin here was already stuffy, but the lady of the Xiao family pushed open the cabin door, but it made people feel that their eyes were bright and their hearts were suddenly opened up. A lot of people are really acting as the magistrate of Liang, and they are kind enough to hire the lady of the Xiao family to be the cook only for the Gu family. Naturally, they don't have too many scruples. They all looked back at them. Gu Siming is even more powerful. Lin Bie teased, "Why does the lady of the Xiao family only look for Lin Juren? Could it be that she cooked some good food in private and only gave it to him, so that we can't eat it because of our greed?"

"..." The lady of the Xiao family stared at everyone with a faint look on her face, and Qiu Shui looked at Lin Bie.

"Master Gu, what is your order?" Lin Bie put the table and chopsticks and asked the lady of the Xiao family. He could understand Liang Zuoren's intention to hire the lady of the Xiao family to be the cook of the Gu family, and he would not be so casual.

"Madam asked me to invite you in." The lady of the Xiao family took a step back to the door and waited for Lin Fu to come out.

Lin Bie was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what Mr. Gu could do with him. He glanced at the lady of the Xiao family and indicated that he wanted to enter the flower hall now? Looking at the talking eyes of the lady of the Xiao family, Lin Bie stood up, ignoring the doubtful eyes of other people, and followed the lady of the Xiao family to the flower hall in the inner room, smelling the faint fragrance from the lady of the Xiao family. Do you know what powders and perfumes women of this era use to make themselves smell so comfortable? The same goes for the Seventh Lady.

Lin Fu walked into the flower hall, where Gu Wuchen's family of four were also eating. Mrs. Gu watched him come in and instructed the maid who was waiting on the side: "Add a pair of tableware to Lin Juren..."

"Thank you madam, Lin Fu and Yang Ye have just eaten their fill," Lin Fu said. Although the etiquette of this era is not as strict as he understands, it is necessary to avoid family members during the banquet. From the corner of his eyes, he looked at Miss Gu's family. Jun Xun lowered his head shyly, and kept poking at the rice grains in the bowl with the ivory chopstick, his eyes still fell on the table in front of Madam Gu, and asked, "Madam asked Lin Bie to come over, what is the order?" He glanced at Gu Wuchen suspiciously, and he didn't seem to know what his wife was thinking by looking at Gu Wuchen's expression.

"I don't have anything else to do," Gu said. "I'm going to Jiangning City soon, so I want to ask Lin Juren what his plans are after he enters the city—do you have a place to stay? Can someone take care of you in life? Your three A domestic servant who looks clumsy and doesn't look like someone who can take care of people."

"Mrs. Xie cares, Lin Fu has two friends in Jiangning, and there is no need to worry about a temporary place to stay - I will go to the Xunjian mansion in the city and then discuss the future. I also rely on the cultivation of my wife and adults. I'm used to it, the three followers are clumsy, and I'm not used to it." Lin Bie replied, still unable to grasp the main point of Gu's words.

"It used to be in the past, but now you have fame and fame, how can you be as shabby as before? Besides, both generations of your family have been kind to my family. If you want to live a rough life, wouldn't you let others say that it's not my family?" He said, "The maids and wives we brought from the capital this time are enough. I think the lady of the Xiao family will take care of you."

"Uh!" Lin Fu looked at Gu Wuchen subconsciously, and Gu Wuchen also looked wrong.

"Master, do you think it's appropriate to arrange the concubine in this way?" Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Wuchen with a smile, "You can't let others say that the Gu family doesn't care for kindness, right?"

Regardless of whether Gu Wuchen was bitter or not, Lin Fu thought that he had to rely on Gu Wuchen and the Gu family for many things in the future. The lady of the Xiao family would never be able to pick it up. Besides, he brought the glamorous cook back to Jiangning, not for Su Mei. Xiaoman saw the joke and said, "Mrs. Lin Fu Xie cares, but Lin Fu is also a pilgrim when he arrives in Jiangning. He doesn't know where to find food, and he has three vulgar men under his command. How can he dare to serve Xiao's wife? ?"

"What is it that is not a piaoping, you don't say that you are so shabby, can it be that the master can watch you continue to be shabby?" Gu said with a smile, "Don't be too busy to refuse, you also listen. What do you mean by listening to the master?"

Lin Fu thought to herself that this old lady surnamed Tang might have been a charming lady from an official family when she was young, but after following Gu Wuchen's career in the army for nearly ten years, it was impossible for her to still be that charming lady who didn't understand the world. How could she easily tolerate herself Lin Fu sighed in her heart because her status was threatened by a prominent female cook in the village. This Gu usually seemed to be gentle and good-natured, but if she offended her, she would have no good fruit to eat.

"Cough..." Gu Wuchen coughed twice, his cough was dry, he could probably imagine that he was going to speak to persuade Lin Fu to be bitter, "Lin Fu, Madam is also thinking about you, you don't reject Madam's kindness... this... this , after all, it still depends on what the lady of the Xiao family wants..."

The last sentence exposed Gu Wuchen's true intentions, but UU reading www.uukanshu.com saw his brows wrinkle before he finished speaking. Lin Fu thought to himself who stepped on the back of his foot under the table, and Lin Fu was almost in his heart. It was to beg the lady of the Xiao family, don't think of yourself as a hot mountain and let him drill into his arms, and I was afraid that the lady of the Xiao family would be confused for a while, so I quickly added: "Lin Fu also thanks Lord Gu for your kindness, it's just Lin Bing. If you can't even feed yourself, how can you afford the wife of the Xiao family to be a cook?"

"You don't need to worry about this. Even if Shiliang County doesn't give Yueyin to the Xiao family's wife, I will take care of it for you." Gu didn't allow Lin Siefen to block his retreat.

"If Lin Juren eats the food of the slave family and becomes a high-ranking official, the concubine will be able to raise the price if she goes to another house to be a cook," said the lady of the Xiao family, and then bowed to Lin Fu and said in a soft voice, "I just hope that Mr. Lin doesn't think that the food of the slave family is bland." The names have changed.

Lin Fu was entangled in his heart, and the water was always poured on his head, and he heard Mrs Gu muttering to himself: "Then it's settled, anyway, the ship has not been disembarked and the package has not been scattered, since Lin Juren is at Jiangcheng's house There are friends who can find a place to stay, so I don't have to worry about this anymore..."
