The Way of the Peasant Mother-in-law

At noon, the Zhou family ate chicken stewed with mushrooms, white rice, and cold cabbage.

Zhulan didn't order anyone to take charge, and wanted to see what the twenty newly bought servants would do without an order.

There was still a queue at the entrance of the yamen to receive grain. Although the grain distributed by the yamen was old grain, it was real grain. The grain was not mixed with stones and sand to make up for it. Many people knelt and kowtowed at the entrance of the yamen when they received the grain.

Zhou Shuren, the newly appointed prefecture, has won a lot of people's hearts in the morning. Those who truly care for the people are all good officials. Zhou Shuren's reputation among the people spread all at once, and everyone knows that the food is brought by the newly appointed prefecture.

Tongzhi Chen Chen felt a little uncomfortable. He also worked hard for the people of Lizhou. Not only did he not get a good reputation, but he also carried a lot of infamy. His lips pursed into a word, and then he sighed in his heart. Zhou Shuren changed his identities. He didn't have the guts to spend fifty thousand taels of silver from the imperial court on the way. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Lord Zhou had more ideas than him.

Zhou Shuren was hungry for a long time. When the food was arranged in February, he said to Chen Chen and He Jun, who were standing, "The two adults have worked hard today. The two adults will sit down and eat."

Chen Chen's eyes fell on the chicken soup, and the ginseng chicken soup swallowed. In order not to be reported as big fish and meat, he did not dare to buy fish and meat even though he had money at home. Later, he ordered the whole family to be vegetarian for the sake of his head. This has been a vegetarian for more than a month. This morning, he smelled the sausage in Lord Zhou's mouth. It was really torturous.

He Jun's family is also a vegetarian, not only vegetarian, but also eating coarse grains. He hadn't eaten rice for a long time, so he swallowed, "Master Zhou, the people are still getting food outside, we are chickens and sausages, right? Great?"

He said so, but his eyes stared straight at the chicken and sausages, greedy, and it seemed that the words on his lips were not convincing at all.

It was only after chatting today that Zhou Shuren found out that the officials of the entire government are vegetarians. This is all a method that he came up with because he was afraid of losing his head. He said, why are the officials in Lizhou City so skinny? He also wondered, Lizhou City The situation is aimed at the people who have no money and has nothing to do with officials. After knowing the truth, he was speechless. He has his own vegetarian skills, why not donate some money to make the emperor more happy? He made sure that the officials in Lizhou City were vegetarian, and the emperor must be angry!

Zhou Shuren coughed, "It's okay, there will be a lot of things going on in Lizhou City in the future. If we don't even have a good body, how can we solve the problems for the people."

He Jun sat down neatly, "That's what the lord said."

I thought in my heart, I opened meat at noon today, and when I got home, I asked my servants to go to Sichuan to buy meat and vegetables. Master Zhou is not only the savior of the people, but also his. He is a person who does not like meat. It hurts him, the meat on his stomach is gone!

Chen Chen also sat down. Anyway, the Lord Zhou, whom Emperor Yu attached great importance to, was holding on to it. They made up their bodies and said, "Mr. Zhou is right, Lord Zhou, please."

Zhou Shuren was not polite, he took the chicken thigh with chopsticks, he liked places with a lot of meat, "You guys too."

Anyway, the chicken legs were in the bowl. If it wasn't good for him to eat two by himself, the other one would also be in the bowl.

Chen Chen and He Jun were not polite anymore, and the chopsticks moved quickly.

The last five dishes were very clean, and the whole pot of chicken soup was gone.

In the afternoon, in the Zhou Mansion, Zhulan didn't take a nap, and directly met the newly bought servant.

Twenty people stood in the yard. The two little guys stood very straight. Zhulan didn't have the heart to let the three or four-year-old child stand in the sun and motioned Xinghua and Jingzhe to bring the two little ones. Guys to a shady place aside.

Zhulan's actions only made the Ding family feel at ease, but they would not move the Ding family. The family who had experienced the resale, the head of the family and the housekeeper, this family was very rational.

While drinking tea, Zhulan looked at the eighteen people in the yard. The clothes were all new, and Zhulan still gave the clothes material, but this time, there was no one who was good at female red, and the clothes were not as good as those made by Xinghua. .

Zhulan already knew about the situation of the house. Butler Ding had a natural advantage. In the past, he was in charge of the Wan family, but the Wan family did not dare to say anything. Whatever Butler Ding arranged, the Wan family would do.

Zhulan put down the teacup, thinking that some people are born to manage others, and some people still won't fight if they are given a chance.

Zhulan said to Ding Guanjia: "Introduce your family members!"

Butler Ding, who has been a housekeeper for many years, knew in his heart that his mistress just wanted to see their abilities without any arrangement. He listened to the first question from his mistress, and he let go and suppressed the joy in his heart, "Little man Ding Yi , thirty-eight this year, the original housekeeper, the wife is Liu Ya thirty-eight, the original body became a housekeeper after the girl, three sons, the eldest son is 21 years old and clever, the daughter-in-law is 20 years old and is good at cooking, the second son Nineteen is more naive, my daughter-in-law is nineteen, and my youngest son is twelve."

Zhu Lan glanced at Butler Ding, and didn't say what he was doing before, but only talked about the characteristics of the family.

Zhulan is a waste of names. She really doesn't want to name her. Fortunately, there are a lot of snow, frost, and dew in the twenty-four solar terms.

Zhulan hummed and asked Steward Ding, "Introduce the others!"

Butler Ding was completely relieved, he asked clearly, and his tone became more and more confident, "Wan family of four, Wan Jiu, 30 years old, wife Silk Hua, 30 year old woman in the kitchen, eldest daughter has been studying since the age of 12 Needlework, my youngest son is eight years old."

Butler Ding paused for a while~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and continued: "There are three remaining girls, the older one is ten years old, from Xujia Village near Lizhou City, who voluntarily sold themselves, and the remaining two are eight and six years old. The girl in the family disliked the girl and sold it for money. Except for the thirteen-year-old, the three boys were sold by their uncle and aunt, and the two fourteen-year-olds were sold voluntarily, and their homes were from nearby villages. "

Zhulan was very satisfied, and then arranged a new name. Housekeeper Ding was still the housekeeper, and his wife Liu Ya would follow her in the future. Housekeeper Ding's eldest son's new name was Gu Yu, his daughter-in-law Lixia, his second son Xiaoman, his second daughter-in-law Mangzhong, and his younger son Xiazhi.

The Wan family's eldest daughter Dashu, the youngest son Xiaoshu, three girls, the ten-year-old Liqiu, the eight-year-old autumnal equinox, the six-year-old Lidong, the boys, two fourteen, one winter solstice, one Xiaohan, and thirteen are called Dahan.

Zhulan thinks the name is more tiring than the calculation, and there are two little babies in no hurry. She can choose it when she is older and has an errand. In the future, she will not choose a name, and whoever will choose it.

As for the errands of these servants, Zhulan is not in a hurry to arrange them. She has to think about where they will be arranged. , she is not in a hurry.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back after dark, Zhulan told the story of buying the person, and finally said quietly: "Master Zhou, can you change your wife when you become an official?"
