Chapter 304 Helping Yun Ting to Become a Disciple
"I asked the Fifth Young Master how to get past Mr. Liu, but he told me he didn't know," Yun Ting said dejectedly. "He said it was you who went to ask Mr. Liu for help."
Lu Qiniang: "This, is indeed me——"
"Then I don't care. You should go and beg for me." Yun Ting said shamelessly, "You can't be partial to one and ignore the other. You and the Fifth Young Master are not related at all, but we are related."
Following Xiao Yan, she has to call him uncle.
Although their whole family has no manners.
Those who should call him uncle are committing a heinous crime and slap him every day.
The one who should call him uncle is Tiangang, but he curses him every day.
Lu Qiniang sighed, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's mainly because it's difficult to operate."
The last time she was able to get Mr. Liu to open a back door was because she saw a thief trying to steal something on the street, so she shouted and got the things back for the person.
The person whose property was stolen was Mr. Liu.
"I can arrange for Shi Ping to steal again, but tell me, is it true? Mr. Liu must be wondering, what's going on? Why was he robbed just because I happened to be his friend? Am I unlucky, or am I in cahoots with the thieves?"
If Lu Qiniang has the chance, she will really use her own people.
Mr. and Mrs. Shi Ping now also eat with her.
Shi Ping followed Xiao Yan to work at the dock, while Shi Ping's wife helped out in the shop.
The shop now employs six women.
The brother and sister who sell fish are responsible for running errands.
Yun Ting said, "That's definitely not possible. I didn't expect it to be like this. But the Fifth Young Master said that Mr. Liu still likes you very much. You should prepare gifts for him during every festival."
"Isn't that what I should do? It's nothing special, just a little token of my appreciation."
"That's fine," Yun Ting said, "Fifth Young Master said that you have more face in front of Mr. Liu than he does."
"Do I have it?" Lu Qiniang expressed doubt.
"Yes, of course there is. Good abandoned mother, please help me make the trip." Yun Ting said, "Whether it works or not, I will remember your favor. If it really doesn't work, I will find another way."
He must succeed in becoming a disciple.
"Okay then." Lu Qiniang said, "I'll give it a try."
Then, Lu Qiniang began to prepare.
She first went to Dongcheng early in the morning to buy freshly made Shandong pancakes - Mr. Liu was from Shandong and loved to eat this.
Then he went to buy some extremely soft and tender lamb head meat, which was what Mr. Liu's mother liked.
That’s not all, Lu Qiniang also brought two pairs of her own mallard ducks.
"Abandoned Mother, although this mallard duck is a tribute, will Mr. Liu like it?" Yun Ting was worried. "If you mention the tribute, he might be unhappy."
"Why would I bring tribute?" Lu Qiniang asked, "He has a flock of white geese. Wouldn't that add some variety? If you like them, you can release them together. If you don't like them, you can keep them for laying eggs and pickle them for salt duck eggs."
Yun Ting: I always feel that this is not right, but I dare not say anything.
In addition to these, Lu Qiniang also carried a large load of firewood.
It's real firewood.
"Qi Niang, firewood means prosperous?" Yun Ting asked humbly again.
"What do you mean by prosperous?" Lu Qiniang asked, "Mr. Liu's home is in a remote area, and you have to cross a single-plank bridge. Many firewood sellers don't want to go there, for fear of falling into the river. So every time they buy firewood, they have to buy it in small bundles and have someone carry a bundle across. They don't dare to carry it like that. I'm fine, I dare to do it, so every time I go, I bring him a load of firewood."
Yun Ting seemed to understand a little.
Why does Lu Qiniang have face in front of Mr. Liu? Because she really cares about Mr. Liu.
"Oh, by the way, we need to go find Lao Hu and ask him for some plasters. Mr. Liu's mother has bad legs and feet, and Lao Hu's plasters are very effective."
"Then I'll go." Yun Ting said immediately.
He went to see Doctor Hu to get the ointment and came back to see that Lu Qiniang had bought a lot of other miscellaneous things.
The two of them then went to Mr. Liu's house.
When Mr. Liu saw Lu Qiniang, he smiled in a way that Yun Ting had never seen before.
"Abandoned Mother, you are here. After you gave me the holiday gifts before the New Year, my mother kept asking me when you would come again."
"I'm also thinking about you, old lady, but I'm just too busy. My eldest daughter is getting married at the end of the year, and I've just bought a new shop, so I'm completely busy." Lu Qiniang said, "I don't have time today either. Yunting, my husband's uncle, wants to study with you and insisted that I come and intercede for him."
After a pause, she continued, "I don't want to make things difficult for you. He may be the third young master of the Duke's Mansion, but he was spoiled as a child. He doesn't like to study, and his handwriting is not as good as my eldest daughter's. But he is lucky. He will be a Duke in the future. Besides, he has a kind heart and can't tolerate any injustice."
Mr. Liu stroked his beard and said nothing.
"I'm thinking, he's going to be a Duke in the future. Not to mention being an official and serving the people, there are over a thousand people in his mansion, not to mention the tenants, shopkeepers, and other employees outside. Even if it's just for these people to have food and clothing, he has to study hard, learn to be sensible, and not bring disaster to so many people."
"He can't compare to the Fifth Young Master. In the future, he won't be your favorite disciple. But not letting him go astray and letting him take on the responsibility is also a merit of yours, don't you think? He doesn't need to learn all those things; he can just follow you and learn some principles."
"If you don't have time, you can give him some pointers every now and then. What's his greatest strength? He's a good fighter, but he doesn't hold grudges."
Yun Ting: “…”
I never expected that being able to withstand a beating could become his advantage.
"If I really can't accept it and I'm afraid it will damage your reputation, then... forget it."
Yun Ting jumped up, "No, we can't let it go. Mr. Liu, Qi Niang is wrong. I want to take the imperial examination. I want to study hard and have a good future."
"What are you going to do?" Lu Qiniang disagreed, "Aren't you just stealing the scholar's position?"
"I don't dare to ask for too much. I just want to pass the imperial examination." Yun Ting said, "I have to prove myself once."
As they were talking, Mr. Liu's mother came out after hearing the news. When she saw Lu Qiniang, she smiled like a flower.
"Abandoned mother, come quickly, come quickly, I will bring you some snacks."
The old lady is old and a little childish. She likes to hoard things and give good things to whoever she is friendly with.
When Yun Ting saw it, he felt that he was safe today.
As it turned out, he really got what he wanted.
Mr. Liu's mother said, what's the big deal?
Isn’t it just that the child wants to study?
Come come come.
Qi Niang, you must come often and talk to me.
Lu Qiniang agreed with a smile and took Yun Ting to have a meal.
"Qi Niang, Qi Niang, I knew you could do it." On the way back, Yun Ting was very excited.
"It's no use just becoming Mr. Liu's disciple. You have to study hard with Mr. Liu."
"Yes, I know."
When the two returned to the dock, they suddenly heard a noise.
This was normal, but the one who was dragged into the quarrel was Xiao Yan.
How could Xiao Yan be the type to quarrel?
Lu Qiniang rolled up her sleeves and went over.
