Imperial Uncle - Chapter 36
Yun Yu’s treatment of water should be here in recent days. I probably stayed in Chengzhou until the beginning of August.
It’s all about seeing and not seeing.
Dozens of years in my life are quite long-term, no matter Yun Yu, Liu Tongyi, or even Qiye, acquaintances of the past may not meet one day. King Huai has long turned into a ash and was buried in the tomb of Beijing. Many people looked at the burnt and expected that there would be no suspicion of fraud. Today there are only businessmen Zhao Caicai. What if you meet up?
I don’t know how those people are doing today.
Yun Yu and my nephew, ah no, they are not cousins anymore, they are holy, are they doing well?
The emperor has been mentally active in the past two years. It is said that several emperors have been added. Yun Yu was really lamented. In the matter three years ago, his entire family became sinners except him. He was actually a filial piety and saved the whole family’s life, but the whole family might hate him. The person who looks after him is still the emperor.
Therefore, no matter what pot or cover is destined, except for Yu Yu, there should be no one to survive, and Qi Yu saves no one except Yun Yu.
As for Liu Tongyi, I heard he resigned and went home with some apologies. A pillar of the court was folded in my hands. Later, faintly heard that he returned to the mountains, and another said that he was traveling in the sky, and wanted to come more casually than in the court. He also said that he wanted to be a lazy person, and in this way, I have less apologies.
So, this time I met Yun Yu to control water in Chengzhou, it was considered a heavenly arrangement. After this time, maybe I still happen to meet a few times in my life, maybe I will never see it again.
After having dinner in the restaurant, Bai Rujin again led me to sit in his house and discuss the matters in the shop.
The Bai Rujin family is one of the richest households in Chengzhou City. The house is quite large. Now it is half submerged in the water. There is still a part of the wall exposed on the water. Can enter and leave the ship. It is said that the houses of rich households in Chengzhou have such a ship door. The boat entered the house and floated directly to the main hall.
Bai Rujin has four wives, three sons and two daughters. His eldest son is fourteen or fifteen years old today. He is studying business with his father.
The other three were only seven or eight to ten or so years old, running around on the second-floor porch, playing with origami boats and throwing them into the water. There is also one of the youngest daughters, about one year old, born of the third lady of Bai Rujin. The third lady is a shrewd woman. Half of the shops under Bai Rujin are managed by her. The family members of the merchants are not shy about visiting foreign customers. The three ladies often go out to talk about business with Bai Rujin. , Counting the accounts is even worse than her sage.
The third lady was sitting in the same room with us this time. Bai Rujin explained to me the planning expenses of the storefront and the planning preparations in the future. The third lady sat next to him and opened the account book to crack the abacus, a report. The accounts were clear and clear. The mother-in-law held the little Qianjin and several maids behind her, and settled the accounts in about a quarter of an hour or two. The third lady handed the account book to the maid, Take the child in his arms.
I can’t help but sigh: “Brother Bai and his wife are really made for nature.
Bai Rujin laughed: “My brother, you just marry one. Zhuo Jing is so stupid. When I first married me, I didn’t know anything. After only six months of studying, I can help.”
The third lady also laughed, “Yeah, why did Boss Zhao not marry?”
I said, “Man in the world, there are a few who can be as blessed as Brother Bai. Several wives are as gentle and gentle as flowers. They are more talented and versatile. I would like to marry. . “
Mrs. Three pouted and smiled, “That’s because Mr. Zhao’s eyes are too high.
Bai Rujin shook his head: “Yue Niang, you are wrong. Like Brother Zhao, in my opinion, there is someone in my heart who can’t let it go. He hasn’t been married yet. Brother Zhao, why?”
I joked along the line: “When will Brother Bai fortune tell?”
Bai Rujin said, “You just said you haven’t remembered it. Honestly.”
I thought about it and nodded, “Are you honest, yes?”
Bai Rujin gave a high-five turn and looked at the three ladies and said, “Look,” and said to me again, “It will make Brother Zhao remember that he won’t marry his wife. It looks like a beautiful woman?”
I said, “Well, almost.”
Bai Rujin twisted his beard: “And he must be both beautiful and gentle, like water.”
I said, “One is the same, the second is not, it’s very good.”
Bai Rujin slaps his legs, “Originally, Brother Zhao likes to be kept in control. Is that a girl in the building, or Miss Shen?”
I said, “The official in the house.”
Bai Rujin said, “Wow, that’s amazing, Miss Guanjia! How can I fail with you?”
I said, “Oh, there are others in my heart, and I’m with someone who loves me.”
Bai Rujin sighed and sighed for me, exhorting: “Since there is no chance for the younger brother, when you lay down, lay down. There are many good women in the world.”
I said, “Fall down and let it go early. It’s just a person who gets used to it. He is busy doing business back and forth and forgets it. I also recently thought about finding one. If brother and wife know what is good, help my brother introduce him.”
Bai Rujin immediately patted his **** and said he must.
His little Qianjin was playing with a collar in the arms of the third lady. I took a bunch of grapes to tease her. She reached for her little hand and yelled at me inarticulately: “Daddy, yes.”
Bai Rujin was quite stunned. The child had just talked and had a problem. When he saw a woman, he called his mother, and when he saw a man, he called his father.
Sure enough, I gave her the grapes. She immediately opened her hands and hugged me. I took her and hugged her. She held my robe collar and yelled at her dad, which was very cute.
I couldn’t help but think, it seems that I should ask for a wife and ask for nothing else, just follow me for the rest of my life. There are a few of these children playing as a family. There are beginnings and ends in a lifetime.
Bai Rujin also invited me to live in his house. I was very busy refusing. Bai Rujin lent me two family members, a small boat, a wooden bucket filled with water, and a bucket of clear water.
The two families took the boat and came over to pick me up and hang out in the morning. I ate outside or took them home with me. In the evening, the two families returned to Bai’s house.
There is water everywhere, but there is some inconvenience in drinking water. The water everywhere is dirty. People in the city have to row boats and take buckets to the springs outside the city to pick up water to eat. Each house has two buckets, one for drinking water, and one for rainwater. After clarification, it is used for washing.
Bai Rujin said that when the water receded, the wells in the yard had to be filled and re-drilled. The original well water had been polluted by the flood, and it was easy to get sick after eating.
The third lady also arranged to give me a box of charcoal sticks, a copper stove and two pots for me.
The charcoal is enclosed in an iron box and fireproof. When you need to use it, burn it in a copper furnace. Two pots, one large tea, and one water for cooking.
I have always loved drinking tea, and the bucket of water sent by the Bai family drank for two days.
I took the bucket to the mountain to pick it up. Rows of boats were parked by the mountain, and the family of the Bai family showed me the way. I could follow the well-formed mountain road all the way to the eye of the fountain. Stone roads were built on the mountain roads, and were built by rich people in the city. Some people brought carts to solicit business by the side of the mountain roads. I spent twenty yuan to hire one, and a footman pushed the barrel up the mountain with a car. After being filled with water, it was pushed down to help carry it to the boat.
Yemen sent several servants at the eye of the spring. After arriving, he went to the servant to report his name, pick up a card, and listen to the servant to call for water according to the brand. There is a shed selling tea in the open space, you can sit and eat tea while waiting.
As soon as I sat down in the tea shed, a man came up and whispered, “This man, you look at your appearance, you know that you are a noble man, and the time is expensive. I have a brand here, and I got up early today Wait for two or three people before you can pick up the water. If you give ten pennies as a reward, I will exchange it with you. Otherwise, you wo n’t be able to pick it up in an hour. “
Ten pennies is not much, but I have nothing to do today, so it’s okay to wait for a while, then I refuse. After the man walked away, the stroller told me: “Fortunately, Grandpa didn’t buy it just now. This man is the skinny in the city. He formed a group with the rest of the people. They come in line every morning to get a license. People make money and pay for the brand that he exchanges for later. This day, more labor is earned than our carts. The military officials have recognized a few of them. The governor of the court is coming. The parties are required to rectify it. If you change with him, maybe you are accepted by the martial arts, and you will not be allowed to play at all. “
It turns out that it seems that the issue of refugees’ wealth is not unique to government officials and businessmen.
After about half an hour or so, I took the mountain underwater and took a boat into the city. By the way, I cut a piece of meat on the boat on the roadside and weighed two pounds of mushrooms. I soaked all the seasonings in my kitchen into the flood, so I bought some salt, sugar, pepper, star anise, powdered cumin, and cumin.
When I went to collect fur in the northern desert, I brought a pair of barbecue racks, which happened to be on the second floor without being soaked by the flood. After returning today, I hung down a fishing rod on the cloister and sat by the copper stove for a barbecue to drink.
The old lady who sold mushrooms gave me a rattan basket, which just happened to be able to put the meat and vegetable seasonings in it. I was going to go to the wine shop to buy a small altar wine. The boat was rowing towards the wine shop and heard a greeting: “Boss Zhao.” I turned my head and saw the old steward of the Bai family and the third lady on the boat next to me. It was the third lady who went to the shop to check the accounts and just returned. I returned a gift, and there was an adoptive mother standing next to the third lady, holding the little Qianjin.
Xiao Qianjin was wailing and crying loudly, and I asked what was going on. The third lady smiled bitterly: “She had to follow me out this morning, and now she was going to go home. Zhang Guanshi still had something to do in the shop in front, so she couldn’t cope.”
I said, “Just right, if you want to go home next, let Ling Qianjin go home with this ship first, and then send me back.”
The third lady said, “How sorry?”
I laughed: “Mrs. Three, this is polite. This boat is obviously your family’s boat. I’m sorry to use it like this.”
The third lady said angrily: “Boss Zhao said this, and we were embarrassed to quit.” Then I let the boat lean over. I took the child first, and the adoptive mother helped the third lady to my boat.
When the child arrived in my arms, weeping tears and snot on my shoulder, and shouting two daddy, he stopped twitching to stop crying. The adoptive mother was going to hug her, and she twisted unwillingly, and I said, “Otherwise I will hold it for a while.” The adoptive mother smiled and said, “She and Master Zhao fell in love.” I joked: “Just give it to the next Forget the daughter. “
Bai Rujin ’s little Qianjin lay on my shoulder. The foster mother helped me hold the vegetable basket that was just beside my feet. Xiaoqian Jinxiang took the mushrooms in the basket and stretched out his hands: “Daddy, that, father, that “Mrs. Three raised her willow eyebrows, and gave her a small hand with a slight naughtiness. Xiao Qianjin immediately pursed her mouth, and I saw that she was going to cry again. It must have been my ears and robes. Quickly said, “A little child, it’s cute to be naughty.” Free up a hand and flap a mushroom from the basket, wipe it on the robe and pass it to her, Xiao Qianjin immediately put it in his hand and grinned. The baby’s mouth was giggling before he had a full mouth, and he would send the mushrooms into his mouth.
I quickly stopped, and the adoptive mother laughed and said, “Master Zhao is really used to children.” But the third lady lowered her voice and said to me, “Boss Zhao, just passed the boat, like the official ship, the person on board, I see unusual.”
Oh? I was only concerned about Bai Qianjin’s Xiao Qianjin, and I really didn’t notice any ships. After Mrs. San said so, we just looked in the direction she indicated.
At the moment of fixation, two eyes were met.
It was a canopy boat. The awning was a dark black awning. The hull was brand new. There were four boatmen on the boat.
There were two people standing in the bow. One of them was wearing a light shirt, straight and rigorous, and meticulous. Looking at the figure’s temperament, I almost thought it was Zhang Ping.
Even if I don’t look at his face, even if his back is so different from the past, I can recognize it at first glance.
Bai Rujin’s little Qianjin twisted and twisted my shirt with his sleeves: “Daddy, Daddy.”
I glanced back and said to Madam: “Let’s be an adult.”
He is Yun Yu.
