Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Sixth Reminder Letter
After the Feng Shui master finished speaking, he left. The aunt and the others couldn't hold him back, so they just disappeared on the village road with their cloth bags in their arms.
"Sister-in-law, you heard what the Heavenly Master said, wherever my son is, there is a lucky house!" Mother Chen raised her chin and sneered at the eldest aunt.
The eldest aunt couldn't hold her head up in front of her mother and returned home angrily; the grandmother also found an excuse to say that there was a fire on the stove at home, and followed her to the old house; the fourth aunt and the third aunt had a conversation with their mother, Chen.
, also followed Hui Laozhai.
"Zhang Tianshi said that every place where my family's Ping'an Lang is is a lucky house. This Tianshi is so great that he has been invited by the previous magistrate." Grandfather walked away smoking a pipe with his hands behind his back and talking to an old man of similar age.
There was pride in his tone, and his grandfather's face shone red under the setting sun.
"Then why did you break up Ping'anlang's family in the first place, otherwise your old house would also benefit from it?" After hearing what his grandfather said, the old man next to him said.
Hearing this, my grandfather was silent. Only the scarlet burning point of the pipe flickered in the sunset. It took a long time before he sighed. My grandfather's figure seemed to have aged under the sunset.
After the Feng Shui incident, mother Chen chatted with several nearby aunts and uncles, saying, "How is Zhang Tianshi doing? How is my son doing?" When the aunts and aunts echoed the praises of Zhu Pingan, mother Chen
But she waved her hands and said there was nothing wrong with it. In order to prove that Zhu Pingan was not that "excellent", her mother, Mrs. Chen, with a proud look on her face, picked out a few embarrassing things from Zhu Pingan's childhood:
"When this silly boy was three years old, his father gave him ten cents to sell tobacco leaves at the entrance of the village. The extra cent was used to buy candies for him."
"After a while, this silly boy came over chewing a piece of candy. He gave nine cents to his father and said, 'The tobacco leaves at the entrance of the village are sold out.'"
"Give me a good beating"
"Also, when he was a child, he went to the fields with some friends to pull edamame to eat. In order to hide from people, he hid in the crop fields and then fell asleep."
She is indeed her biological mother. The things that happened when she was a child are like treasures in her family. Fortunately, Zhu Ping'an was not there, otherwise she would have been so embarrassed after hearing this that she would have had the urge to hit the wall.
Behind the door of the new house opposite, the little maid Baozi and Li Shu were crouching behind the door and listening. They couldn't help but cover their mouths and their eyes were bent with laughter.
Zhu Pingan had dinner at his new residence because Zhu Pingan was about to leave for the capital. In order to give the young couple more time alone, his mother, Ms. Chen, kicked Zhu Pingan out of her new residence, who wanted to stay at home for dinner.
The reason why he had to leave for the capital so soon was because of the impeachment memorial sent by Zhu Pingan when he left the capital. In the afternoon, the magistrate of Huaining sent someone a few packages of tribute noodles and an urgent letter. Huaining tribute noodles
Since the Song Dynasty, tribute noodles have been hand-picked by the imperial palace. Huaining Magistrate would use tribute noodles as gifts every year as a favor. The urgent letter was sent quickly from the capital. The letter from the Ministry of Punishment asked Zhu Pingan as soon as possible.
Set off to go to the Ministry of Punishment to present your case.
The Ministry of Punishment has already sent out two such urgent letters.
Although there is still some time left for the holidays, under this situation, Zhu Ping'an can only set off for the capital as soon as possible.
Kill the good and take credit for Zhao Daying!
Haha, I hope you won’t regret urging me to be in such a hurry!
"My uncle is here." When the girls saw Zhu Pingan, they all bowed and saluted, and Zhu Pingan nodded in response.
In the room, there were two girls waiting for Li Shu to wash her hands. One girl was holding a small basin in her hands, and the other girl was holding a towel in her hands and stood respectfully in front of Li Shu to wait on her.
The little maid Baozi first put her little hand into the small basin, tested the temperature, and then puffed up her face and said, "I'm getting more and more careless. I just told you to add more hot water. I'll do it now."
Forgot again?"
"Good sister, we just mixed the hot water with it, maybe it's cold. Sister Que, please pour some hot water with my sister." The little girl holding the water apologized, and then begged the girl making tea next to her.
Added some more hot water to the basin.
After mixing the hot water, Li Shu started washing her hands. When Zhu Pingan came in, Li Shu had just finished washing her hands. Seeing Zhu Pingan come in, Li Shu put the wiped towel in the little girl's hand again.
Ask the girl to bring Zhu Pingan water for washing hands.
"Do not bother."
Zhu Pingan shook his hand, then walked over and started washing himself with the water that Li Shu had washed with. The water was very clean and there was no need to get another basin.
The little girl next to her covered her mouth and smiled.
Seeing this, Li Shu's pretty face couldn't help but have a touch of red clouds flying over her. The red candle made her look even more shy. Her watery eyes rolled her eyes at Zhu Ping'an and said, "You really don't know what is good and what is good."
While Zhu Ping'an was washing his hands, the girls filed in and brought in the meals prepared by the kitchen and neatly placed them on the dining table. The dishes were sumptuous, delicious and delicious, including anchovy fins, red plums, and kung pao hare.
, Fuzi melon braised pork tenderloin, sesame rolls and several vegetarian dishes, filling the table.
Finally, there are no more jellyfish, leeks, mutton, pork kidneys, etc.
There is also a soup simmered in a casserole in the center. It should be chicken soup. It exudes a rich aroma and makes you very appetizing just looking at it.
"You can make less food next time, we can't finish it all."
Zhu Ping'an looked at the food on the table, thought for a while and said, there are almost ten dishes, but it always feels like a waste for two people to eat. In fact, four dishes and one soup are already very rich.
The meal is just one or two dishes.
"If you can't eat, give it to the girl and the old woman. They have been waiting for a long time and they haven't eaten yet." Li Shu glanced at Zhu Ping'an and raised the corner of her mouth with an elegant arc. She was used to setting a table of food.
"Thank you, Miss." The girls serving in the room all smiled happily.
Okay, I am a bit of a country bumpkin. Zhu Ping'an thought of the scene in Dream of Red Mansions. It seems that this is a common practice for big families. Every meal of a big family only has more than ten dishes and dozens of dishes, and the master of the meal is just like that.
There are several people, so there will be a lot of leftover food at every meal. The master's family will distribute the leftover food to the girls and the old ladies.
There are many rules in a big family, and there are rules for eating. If the master has not eaten dinner, the servants cannot serve the meal. Therefore, the leftover meals of the masters will not be wasted. If you give it to the maid and old woman, the recipients will look proud.
.Moreover, not everyone can receive this kind of reward. Only girls and old ladies with status can receive this kind of treatment. This is a symbol of status.
The little maid serving Baozi served Li Shu, dishing out dishes and serving soup. There was also a little girl who wanted to come over and serve Zhu Ping'an. Zhu Ping'an declined with a wave of her hand. She had her own hands and feet, so she didn't need anyone else to serve her. (To be continued.)
