Chapter 269: my venison
Chapter 269 My Venison
The Chu family became extremely lively today. After sending Lin Jinxiao away, Liu Chengming and his relatives began to surround Liu Yun, Chu Wenbi and his wife to flatter and curry favor.
The head of the Chu family, Chu Luoqian, sat upright in the yard, leaning on his cane with both hands, nodding his head and laughing in relief: "Yun'er was worth the five hundred taels back then, and bought a fifth-rank county magistrate when he came back. Our Chu family's ancestors have never produced such talents."
Liu Chengming, the head of the Liu family, muttered as he listened, his eyes kept rolling, and he looked dissatisfied.
If he hadn't led the elders of the Liu family to stand firm and agreed to Liu Yun's purchase of the marriage with money, how would this matter have happened today? I'm afraid Lin Jinxiao would have already become the son-in-law of the Chang family.
It's just that he has always been a person who cares about the general situation, and he doesn't want to provoke right and wrong on such a happy day.
But Liu Piaopiao was straightforward, and immediately said: "Fortunately, Second Sister and Brother-in-law didn't listen to Uncle Qian, otherwise, Nan Zhi would not be the wife of a fifth-rank official family now."
Chu Luoqian's face changed suddenly when he heard the words, he held the cane in his hand and kept spinning, looked at Chu Wenbi, and said embarrassingly:
"If you want to say that this matter is really old and stupid, you say that Dalang's temperament, I don't think that he was popular with the officials when he made contributions to Cao Shi in the county government in the past. Why did he suddenly get promoted? Now it's not just our county in Luyan Port. Order, even the six counties in the east have to be controlled by him, and he also carries the Tianzi sword, what an honor it is."
"Hey, my Dalang is really not good at catering to his superiors as an official. This is also because of his old teacher's temper, but he has done his best to benefit the common people in office."
At this time, Chu Wenbi mentioned his son-in-law Lin Jinxiao again, and he was very proud: "Just say that during the years when he served Cao Shi, there were very few bandits in every township and village."
"That's right."
Liu Chengming was also in awe: "It's all following his father."
"It's a pity that the magistrate of Tingshu passed away too early."
Chu Luoqian sadly said: "There is also Dalang's biological mother, Cui, who is too cruel from the Lin clan, and there is no good thing. At that time, Cui was pregnant, and the magistrate of Tingshu came to Beijing to report on his duties to appeal for the whole county. However, none of these members of the Lin clan sent a personal helper to take care of the silver and silver. As a result, the county magistrate of Tingshu could only bring Cui, who was pregnant with Liujia, into Beijing. The bumpy journey almost caused Cui to miscarry. Baby, but Cui died of illness not long after returning from Beijing."
Seeing the awe-inspiring righteousness he said, Liu Piaopiao couldn't help snorting coldly: "Uncle Qian, I heard that your old grandpa had a close relationship with Dalang's father when he was the patriarch, why didn't your family think of helping to take care of it? "
"Don't tell me, your uncle really mentioned it at the time."
Chu Luoqian glared at Liu Piaopiao angrily, and when he looked back at Chu Wenbi, his eyes were full of kindness: "But after all, there is a difference between closeness and closeness. No matter how much Tingshu county magistrate trusts your uncle, he is unwilling to entrust the matter of having a wife and pregnancy to you." Give us outsiders."
"It's all in the past, so don't mention it."
Liu Yun replied with a wry smile.
At this moment, Chu Nanzhi and the sisters from the Chu family cooked some more porridge and boiled more eggs, and led the quadruplets out of the kitchen. Liu Shuyang set up two tables in the yard.
Everyone set up the meals, Chu Nanzhi went to the clan relatives and kindly instructed: "Clan grandfather, uncle, aunt, come and have breakfast together."
Let the clansmen take care of the pond for so long, originally thinking of sending the venison for a thank-you feast, but I don't know when Li Ce will send the venison.
It stands to reason that I also made great contributions yesterday. If I hadn't informed everyone in advance, and regardless of the group of assassins hiding in the forest, many people would have died or injured even if they were attacked by a group of beasts.
Not to mention assassins and wild beasts.
So waiting for work at leisure, a praying mantis catching cicadas and orioles came behind, and let everyone share the prey. No matter how you say it, you have to give her a leg and a half.
"Lin Jinxiao won't give the black bear and venison to those officials and wealthy families, will he?"
Chu Nanzhi secretly poked suspicion in her heart.
According to the temperament of these officials, it can be done.
"What an ungrateful guy. His wings are stiff, so he doesn't need to apply medicine himself, and he has to live alone in the county government. Now he even has to share the prey he guards with others."
Cough, if I knew this, I should have let the **** bear and the tiger have torn him apart yesterday before the duel.
"My venison."
Chu Nanzhi thought sullenly, Liu Yun had already asked her relatives to sit down.
A group of people saw her in a daze alone, Liu Piaopiao immediately walked over, grabbed her and asked anxiously: "Nan Zhi, what's the matter with you? Your grandfather and uncle have called you several times."
"what."
Chu Nanzhi recovered and saw a group of people staring at her blankly.
She walked over quickly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, uncle and grandfather at noon, you should stay at home for dinner, thank you for your hard work these days."
It seems that we can only share the big maha together with you.
"It's all from my own family, so why be so polite."
Liu Chengming grinned: "But Nanzhi, if you want to keep my uncle at home for dinner, I will not be polite, you taught your mother's cooking skills so well, I really want to try your cooking, old uncle. "
Chu Nanzhi nodded happily: "Okay, uncle called my aunt, cousin, and clansmen who have been suffering hard these days, so I can give the money to everyone."
"I'm still talking about money."
Chu Luoqian was a little unhappy: "I've said it a long time ago. Cleaning up the fish pond for you this time is everyone's compensation for being instigated by the Qi family last time. You will be upset if you want to mention the silver clan grandpa and your uncle again." .”
"Yes, Nan Zhi, don't mention this matter again."
Liu Chengming also echoed: "I have already discussed this matter with you, old uncle, and I didn't force anyone. Everyone came here voluntarily. I have no objection that you invite the clansmen to dinner today, but give money to old uncle. Definitely not in favor of it.”
"Okay, then according to uncle and grandfather."
Chu Nanzhi took the eggs for everyone, and explained: "That's how it is, after the fish are raised, I will send a fish to each family in the first year, and the relatives who have helped me take care of the fish pond In the future, when I buy fish, I will sell them to everyone at the price of fry.”
"Well, that's about the same."
Liu Chengming nodded in satisfaction: "You can raise fish with confidence, everyone will prepare the ash you want for you."
"Then I will thank uncle first."
Chu Nanzhi was very moved.
Right now, we need to wait for the pond to be exposed to the sun for a few more days, and then pour quicklime in the rain for thorough disinfection and sterilization. After the water is filled with plant ash, we can try to put fish fry.
The courtyard was talking lively, but saw a few people outside the courtyard walking in with their heads down.
Liu Yun and Chu Wenbi immediately frowned when they saw the figure of the visitor.
