Seeing that Shunzi was eloquent and had a clear mind, He Jinzhuo couldn't help but look at him more and wanted to find out some information.
"You don't know what to call you, brother. If I need help, where should I go to find you?"
Shunzi sensed the other party's change, and was surprised and delighted. He waved his hands and said, "I don't deserve your courtesy, sir. My name is Shunzi, and I am currently running errands with the old lady and the second master.
If my people are in Laohu Town, please send someone to inform them and I will definitely come. If they are not there, then they must have gone out with our master, so please don't blame me, young master.
If there is something urgent that needs to be resolved, it doesn't matter if you can't find me, you can come to my house and report to Cao, the steward in our mansion!"
He Jinzhuo heard this and hummed, and didn't ask any more questions.
Shunzi was not embarrassed either, because the old lady had told them long ago that they should not think too much when dealing with scholars, as they were the chosen ones and it was normal for them to be a little arrogant.
If you meet someone who can humble himself and not look at others with squinting eyes, you should pray for the blessing. Do you really think that everyone is like the master of their Qiao family who is willing to get along with the lower class people?
He really had no idea about He Jinzhuo's attitude that he said ten sentences and the other party responded with one sentence!
After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Shunzi saw that they didn't even have a servant boy with them, so he sent over two maids to help.
"These are the grandmothers in our village. They are very efficient and clean. Let them help with some rough work in the next few days. When the master and the young master's people arrive, they can be sent back."
"Okay, then stay!"
He really couldn't handle it all by himself, and he couldn't rely on his junior brother, so it would be good enough if he didn't make things worse.
We can't let the gentleman do the rough work by himself. Besides, he also wants to know more about the news in Laohu Town. Is there anyone more suitable than a local resident?
When He Jinzhuo returned to his residence, Zhang Zheng was already waiting anxiously. "Where did you go? Why did you spend half a day sending someone off? You only came back after dark. Did the Qiao family give you any trouble?"
He Jinzhuo put the lunch box on the table, looked around, and didn't see the gentleman. He couldn't help but ask, "Where's the gentleman?"
"Inside the room, since Mr. Qiao left, the gentleman has been holding that stack of papers and has not come out yet! Isn't it customary not to eat after noon? Where did you get all these?"
"It was sent from the Qiao Mansion. People here seem to have three meals a day because they work so hard. Go and invite the gentleman. We will move tomorrow morning!"
"Moving, where to?"
As soon as Liang Shengming stepped into the main house, he heard the eldest disciple talking about moving!
"gentlemen!"
"gentlemen!"
The two of them quickly stood up and saluted!
Liang Shengming walked to the dining table and raised his hand to signal them not to be polite!
After He Jinzhuo sat down, he slowly and methodically told him what happened in the afternoon.
At the end, he said, "Although it doesn't completely meet Mr.'s requirements, it can be seen that the Qiao family has done this based only on rumors and information they have heard from outside. It is considered extremely thoughtful."
Zhang Zheng curled his lips and said nonchalantly, "I think the Qiao family is also very good at scheming, and is not as simple as others say. From the moment we stepped into Laohu Town, we fell into the Qiao family's carefully woven net.
Every step of this is so tempting. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all so well considered that we can't refuse!"
He Jinzhuo's expression suddenly darkened, and he sternly rebuked, "Brother, don't speak nonsense. Don't act like a good kid after getting an advantage!
The Qiao family is just a new upstart, and it has only been about half a year since they rose to prominence. To be able to achieve all this, they have already given their all.
They have to take care of so many villagers, which is really not easy. Junior brother, not everyone has a century-old family background like you. "
He Jinzhuo's family background is similar to Qiao Yunqing's, but Zhang Zheng comes from the Zhang family, a century-old family with an extremely rich foundation. If it weren't for the presence of his master and the brotherhood between fellow disciples, he would have been unwilling to tolerate this arrogant and overbearing junior brother!
His Zhang family has a good foundation, and they don't seem to be very kind to the common people. What qualifications does he have to point fingers at the Qiao family!
Now you find fault with everything, do you really think everyone should indulge you?
Zhang Zheng watched his senior brother and teacher's expressions change in an instant, and he shut his mouth in dismay!
"Do you know why your grandfather insisted that you travel with him?
The weak are easily deficient, and the strong are easily arrogant.
The Qiao family has something to be ashamed of. They acted in an upright manner and just had something to do with us. How could it be considered as opportunism in your eyes? Do you think that if I don't come, they won't be able to hire a teacher?
"Fan Huairen is the mentor of the current emperor. His reputation among students is no less than that of a teacher. People all praise the Qiao family. When will you let go of your prejudice as a child of an aristocratic family and take a real look at the world! Remember to be careful with your words and actions in the future!"
Zhang Zheng lowered his head guiltily: "Sir, I know I was wrong!"
When Liang Shengming saw her expression, he knew that she didn't take his words to heart at all. For the sake of his friend's face, he didn't say anything else.
Then he turned to He Jinzhuo and said, "When you contact your fellow disciples, you might as well mention the matter of Qingyang Academy. You should know what to say and what not to say.
“Students understand!”
........
Qiao Xin had just bargained with the system to exchange sweet potato and corn seeds when she was told that the owner of the Tujia Kiln, Song, had personally delivered more than 30 large vats.
When Qiao Xin was farming in Yunxi Town, he customized more than 30 large vegetable jars from the owner of the Song Kiln for pickling sauerkraut.
The Qiao family planted more than ten acres of bean seedlings. Even ordinary seeds can grow very fast, not to mention the enhanced seeds.
Now it is May, and the trellises are already hung with bunches of cowpeas, long and plump.
Now the first wave of cowpeas has already started to be picked, and the workers' meals have changed from stir-fried cowpeas with minced meat, stewed eggplant with beans to stewed noodles with beans.
After eating cowpeas for several days in a row, Qiao Xin's face turned green.
Looking back at the endless beans in the vegetable garden, I feel happy and distressed!
I can’t finish it, I really can’t finish it!
The key point is that this thing is only fresh if you eat it the same day you pick it. If you leave it overnight it will become swollen and won’t taste the same.
The arrival of the kiln owner Song really made her breathe a sigh of relief. All the beans from that day could be pickled and served with porridge or pasta. That spoonful of sour beans was the soul of the dish.
