Chapter Fifty-Six: Master and Servant Talking about Linzhu
"Do you have something to say?" Old Doctor Zhang, who was about to go to the back room to go to bed and rest, saw that the housekeeper was hesitant to speak, so he stopped and turned around and asked. "Master," Butler Zhang walked up to Old Doctor Zhang and bowed back: "
I just feel that you are a little too kind to Miss Xiaozhu." Not only did he give you a valuable jade pendant, but the most important thing was the familiar title, which was like a family member's attitude. This is an unprecedented situation. If this is the case,
If the people in the mansion know this, it will definitely arouse the jealousy and dissatisfaction of many people.
"What do you think of her?" Dr. Zhang did not answer the housekeeper's question, but asked instead. "I think it is not easy for Miss Xiaozhu to live alone even though she is not very old. What happened today shows that she has a pure heart.
Good." Butler Zhang thought for a moment before replying. "It's just that sometimes I feel that the scheming is very deep and difficult to figure out." Butler Zhang paused, "It wouldn't be surprising if she was born in the Zhaimen compound. But she is an orphan in the countryside.
, it seems too out of line." Although Butler Zhang spoke in a subtle way, based on Dr. Zhang's experience, he could certainly tell that his words implied that Lin Zhu was deliberately approaching and trying to please him. Dr. Zhang had also thought about it.
This question was later denied by himself. However, seeing the housekeeper's appearance, Old Doctor Zhang had no choice but to ask, "Did Zhu Yatou ask you about me?" "That's not true." Zhang
The housekeeper shook his head. "Except for the method of drying wolfberry seeds, have you given her anything else?" "No." He shook his head again. "But we got a lot of things from her. Even though they were all
They are vegetables from the countryside, which are nothing to us and are worth a lot of money to country people, but she delivered them without saying a word and didn't ask for a penny. Do you know why?"
"Is she just playing a long game to catch the big fish?" As soon as Butler Zhang finished speaking, he noticed that his master's eye knife was flying over. Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, he lowered his head in a hurry. Old Doctor Zhang looked at
This housekeeper who has been with him for many years knows that he has seen too many intrigues and competing interests in the officialdom. Although what he said is not pleasant to listen to, there is some truth in it, but it is not appropriate to use it here. "She
This is a repayment of kindness." "Don't she want to find her biological parents through you?" Butler Zhang has sent people to investigate Lin Zhu and Dr. Zhang since their first meeting. They all know that Lin Zhu
Zhu's life experience. "Don't apply the tricks you did in the capital here. Country people are not as snobbish as you think." Old doctor Zhang continued, "Zhu girl does know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but she does not plot against others. You
Just look at the village chief's family and you will understand. She can do the wolfberry business by herself, but she gives half of it to the village chief's family. Do you know why?" "The village chief's family can protect her." "This is only part of the reason.
, and the other thing is that if she wants to gain a foothold in this village, she can't do it without the support of the village chief. It is a good idea to make good friends with the village chief's family. Another point is that the village chief's wife cares for her from the bottom of her heart, Zhu Yatou knows
This is what helps their family."
Only then did Butler Zhang understand that his master was interested in Lin Zhu's character and character, and that he not only thought wrong, but also underestimated Lin Zhu. Old Doctor Zhang understood the steward a little and said to him again:
"If you think about the whole incident of her losing crops in the field, Zhu Yatou not only has scheming, but also has methods. She knows how to be patient at a young age, and can prevent others with one move, which makes her beautiful. The village chief and his family still owe her a favor."
When Dr. Zhang said this, he couldn't help but praise Lin Zhu.
When old doctor Zhang lived in Linjia Village, Butler Zhang ordered people to inquire about any news in the village every day. Therefore, Lin Zhu's loss of crops was hidden from others and they could not hide it. Butler Zhang knew about it.
The whole story, I always felt that I had an idea in my mind but couldn't grasp it. Now I heard what Dr. Zhang said and understood. Lin Zhu not only saved the reputation of the village chief's family, but also the reputation of Linjia Village, so the village chief couldn't
He refused to accept her favor.
From Butler Zhang's point of view, although his master has already become an official, and is only an imperial doctor, and does not participate in court affairs on the surface, there is no good thing about being an official in the court. He has been cautious for so many years, just hoping for a good death. But as
The current situation in the court is changing, and there are signs that various forces are ready to move. Just to protect himself, my husband traveled around and found a small village to settle down. But after all, he is very different from this countryman. So when Old Doctor Zhang showed his respect,
Butler Zhang only felt disgusted with Lin Zhu when he was with Lin Zhu. Now he has also let go of his prejudice against Lin Zhu.
"Tomorrow when you go to Zhu Yatou to deliver things, pick up a few more medicines I prescribed. Once we leave, it will be difficult for them to treat the child." Old Doctor Zhang then ordered the housekeeper, "The main thing is
Don't forget to bring the vegetables back." This was his main purpose. After hearing this, Butler Zhang couldn't help but have black lines on his head. His master would never forget to eat this. "The cabbage grown by Miss Xiaozhu is really good.
"In the past, I only thought that cabbage was a low-class dish that could not be served on the banquet. How could I have imagined that it would be so delicious." Butler Zhang remembered the taste of the cabbage with endless aftertaste. This was the only place where he had a good impression of Lin Zhu before - growing it.
She is good at cabbage. "I heard that she will plant watermelons and peppers next year. Watermelons are not easy to grow. We people in the village tried to grow them. As a result, not only did the watermelons fail to grow, but a year's farming time was wasted. And in the market
The watermelons on the table either went into the palace or into the homes of dignitaries. Ordinary people rarely eat them or even see them." "But Zuo will have to come over next year, and then we can see whether the bamboo girl can grow it. If we really do,
If it succeeds, it will be better than ours." Old doctor Zhang has already determined that he will be able to eat watermelons grown by Lin Zhu next year. The housekeeper can't help but worry about Lin Zhu. This matter has not yet happened, but it has already been remembered.
"I just don't know what the peppers she planted are for? We have also planted several pots in our house, and they are red and beautiful, but the fruits are really hard to eat." The housekeeper couldn't help but shake when he thought of the taste of the peppers.
Shaking his head. "But no matter what Miss Xiaozhu can grow, as long as it is edible, we will definitely have our share." Old Doctor Zhang nodded in agreement. "And let her grow some cabbage next year, so as not to grow like this now.
You have to eat sparingly." Dr. Zhang was dissatisfied that the housekeeper only allowed him to eat one cabbage every day. Ever since he ate the cabbage brought from Lin Zhu, Dr. Zhang always felt that his body was much lighter.
His spirit has improved a lot. But he is not sure yet. After all, after he came here, he often went to the mountains to collect herbs to stretch his body. In addition, the food he ate was not as refined and rich as at home, so it is not necessarily a little thin. But no matter what
, for a senior foodie, that delicious cabbage cannot be missed.
Dr. Zhang was very happy when he thought of bringing back another batch of cabbage. Should he take it as a souvenir when he went home? After a second thought, he rejected the idea. His family might not approve of this dish. They are used to eating those exquisitely carved cabbages.
How could this humble cabbage, a carefully crafted delicacy from the mountains and seas, get into their eyes? It might even be thrown away, but that’s not possible. It’s better to keep it yourself.
