Fried with lotus root, braised meat, spicy duck, boiled cabbage with crispy soup, salt and courgette, several dishes were delivered to the table one after another. The cook was Zhao Erniang, and Zhang Xiaomei and Taohua Fairy were also helping to prepare the rice...
Because not long ago, Zhang Ning had disbanded all the chefs, maids and servants in the yard.
When those people were dismissed, each of them was given five taels of silver. In this era when the family of well-off people only spent more than one tael a year, giving five taels of severance payment was definitely a very kind owner.
In addition, these people have worked here for several months. Zhang Ning thought they would feel a little nostalgic when they left, but they didn't expect them to walk very quickly.
Zhao Erniang came up to serve the food and muttered there: The boss gave too much money, so the money was not used like this... I just gave it to him. I thought those people would think about the boss's goodness, at least prepare dinner and clean up the yard before leaving. As a result, it was like our wishful thinking. People were afraid that we were the money we had, and the wronged master would not take it for nothing.
Fang Ling smiled and said: Didn’t you expect some servants to hurt Er Niang’s heart?
Zhao Erniang took a look at Zhang Ning: It was not those who could hurt me, but they almost forgot the ruthlessness of the world for a while. They reminded me again today.
Zhang Ning stretched out his chopsticks with a calm expression and picked up a piece of lotus root to taste. While chewing, he praised: Well, it’s crispy, it tastes from Er Niang’s hands.Even if I hire a chef at home, I am still willing to eat the dishes made by my second wife. If I can't eat one day, I will definitely not get used to it for a long time.
This sentence clearly refers to her cooking skills, but in fact it exudes a shallow and sincere warmth. Zhao Erniang's face showed a feeling of disguised feeling because of her embarrassment. Looking back, Fang Ling and others smiled kindly to her, and her heart felt warm again.
This small circle made her reluctant to leave.
In fact, everyone knows Zhao Erniang’s misfortune. Women’s sympathy makes people follow Zhao Erniang and treat her well.
Her voice trembled slightly and became gentle: If you try this plate of duck meat, it may be very spicy.Let me tell you, if Huguang is humid and hot, you have to eat spicy food.
It's really spicy enough.Zhang Ning just put a piece in his mouth and was stunned, his mouth was unclear.Zhang Xiaomei hurriedly took his bowl to serve the soup.
He took a sip of the soup and exhaled a long breath of heat. Fang Ling smiled and said, "Don't taste it, little sister. People from Jiangsu and Zhejiang cannot eat spicy food."
When Zhang Ning looked back at the scene in the yard, it was no longer as neat as usual. There was a large bag of luggage at the door, which made him feel a little more breathless.
He reached into his arms and took out a letter and handed it to the Taohua Fairy: After the news is confirmed, I have to ask the fairy to rush to Nanjing, bring a few people and this handwritten letter from me, and take my uncle's family to the cult evasion and temporary residence.
The Taohua Fairy took the thing and couldn't help but say: If you want to be ruthless and unrighteous, the imperial family will count.Lord Zhang has made a lot of contributions to Xuande, and once he was suspicious that even your family members would not let go?
Just in case.If the emperor did not send someone to investigate, but instead summoned me back to the capital, he would have to prepare early.
He glanced at Zhang Xiaomei and said, "Uncle Zhang has raised me, but now he is helpless to implicate them, but he cannot sit idly by.
At this moment, the sound of a loud knock on the door sounded.The people at the dinner table stopped talking immediately. The Peach Blossom Fairy immediately got up and went into the house to get the sword. Everyone was despised when they saw it.
Zhang Ning estimated the days again and said calmly: People from the court will not come now, they will not be so fast.After saying that, he winked at the Taohua Fairy and opened the door to see who it was.
The Taohua Fairy walked out of the dining room and opened the yard gate. She stood there and said a few words, everything was very peaceful.
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, the Taohua Fairy brought two women into the house, one old and one young, Zhang Ning had seen them, and they were the two major sects who ward off the cult.
The old one is winter snow, and the fewer ones are spring plums.
The cult vanishing cult is under the position of the leader and has four major charity supporters. They are the people in this organization who have comprehensive and real power. They just left Qiuye, but now two more are coming at once.
Zhang Ning realized something important.
Dongxue is an old woman in her fifties. She looks like a peasant woman with rough skin and black skin. She looks even more like her clothes in her body. It is indeed a bit inconsistent with her name.
However, there was a slew of Buddhist beads hanging around her neck, which added a bit of mystery.
She politely said: We came a little presumptuously and disturbed Lord Zhang’s dinner.
Zhang Ning hurriedly replied: It’s okay, the two of you are here for a long time when you are tired from the journey. What must be important?
Another escort Chunmei is another scene. This little girl is probably less than 20 years old, and even Dongxue’s daughter is young.I can get a position as a supravagant at such a young age, but I don’t know if I have any special skills.
Her dress was even more alternative, with many small braids on her head, which looked like the headdress of a barbarian woman, but she wore a Hanfu style with a cross-collar robe and a perfect Hanfu style. The collar cuffs were more exquisitely embroidered, like a lady...
Wearing trousers may be convenient for horse riding.
Of course, her image is inappropriate in people's eyes. Maybe the non-mainstream version of the ancient version is her virtue?
There were too many women who had never noticed her when she was warding off a cult. Zhang Ning was immediately attracted by the attention. First of all, her melon-shaped face and pointed chin made her feel pretentious. This face was obviously not good in this era, and her eyes were even more bold, and she swept around Zhang Ning unscrupulously. What kind of female etiquette was simply gone on her.
Then Zhang Ning was attracted by the towering breasts that stretched her clothes high.
As Zhang Ning knew, there was no bra in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no way to deliberately support the chest. In addition, the Han Dynasty's uniform was loose, so things that could usually be so high that they could wear clothes to support them, not only should they be plump but also strong themselves.
Just like Fang Ling and others in the room, they all have considerable breasts when they don’t wear clothes, except that Zhao Erniang usually has only the bulge of clothes but is not so conspicuous.
Zhang Ning couldn't understand why he could still think of that thing in his mind at this time. Many times when he was critical and serious, his thoughts were so simple. What was the best place for a woman in front of him? Imagine how it felt to touch...
At this time, Chunmei spoke, and her voice was very sweet: We ran all the way and could only eat dry food. We didn’t even have to eat dry food until now. We ran away and sweated all over. We had to apologize for disturbing the dinner, alas.
After saying that, he picked up the material of the collar and lowered his head and smelled it. His cleavage was exposed after being touched like this.
The women in the room immediately showed a faint disgust and disgust towards the woman. Dongxue, who came with her, looked at her expressionlessly, as if she was used to it.
After hearing this, Zhang Ning said: Let’s just start eating. If you don’t bother with the escort, sit down and have a meal together.Ernie went to add two pairs of chopsticks.
Chunmei looked at the women's eyes innocently and said: Are you kind words or do you want to invite Ah sincerely?
Zhao Erniang actually said back in anger: What's wrong with surrogate or not? We are not the ones who ward off cults.Why should I serve her?
Chunmei said to Dongxue in front of her: You don’t say a word, people are scolding the escorts, but I’m not the only one.
Everyone was speechless.
Zhang Ning had no choice but to turn around and said: Sister, go get the chopsticks and bowls. Don’t be angry, please sit down and talk.
Zhang Xiaomei responded happily and went there obediently. She is really an extremely easy person to get along with, which can be seen now.
Dongxue refused and thanked him politely, but her politeness made Zhang Ning feel too serious and dull, as for it, it seemed boring.
In contrast, he likes Chunmei to speak more, which is much more interesting...
Obviously, women and men like completely different people.
Chunmei smiled and said: You are a scholar, you are really well-educated.
Zhang Ning smiled with kindness, after all, others were praising him.
Dongxue spoke again in that lifeless tone: We are on the order of the leader and are rushing to deliver the letter day and night.
After saying that, he took out an envelope and handed it with respect to both hands, and wrote a letter by the leader.
Zhang Ning looked upright and took the hand carefully. He paused and put it in his pocket first, not wanting to read Yao Ji's handwritten letter at the dinner table.
Seeing this, Dongxue said: The leader was very anxious and asked Lord Zhang to set off to the headquarters immediately after receiving the letter, and not to clean up his things.There was a reliable news from the source that the court wanted to send the Jinyiwei to take Lord Zhang back to question him. It was estimated that the Jinyiwei was on the way, so it was not too late.
I see.Zhang Ning nodded and said.
Chunmei said: You are not in a hurry at all?
Zhang Ning smiled and said: I have already guessed that I have sent off my servants to pack my luggage and are ready to leave the Yuanshui tea garden at any time.Now the news has been confirmed.
Chunmei said: Why didn’t Lord Zhang buy a goose feather fan?
Why do I want a goose feather fan? Zhang Ning asked in confusion. The people next to him were also unable to get a pulse of such brainless words. This is called Chunmei's mother a crazy person.
Because Zhuge Kongming, who is a master of the Three Kingdoms, has a goose-feather fan. Mr. Kongming is very handsome and elegant. Don’t you know Ah?
Chunmei was happy and laughed so hard that she leaned back and forth.
But she was the only one laughing.
Zhang Ning had no choice but to laugh dryly and thought to himself: Reliable news from the superior?
Unexpectedly, the news from Jianwen’s party members was so efficient, and he was worried that the hard-working abacus would not have any impact, and the stones were sank to the sea...
That's really good news.
He pondered in depth and thought that most of the people who leaked the secrets of the court were Wang Gou'er, and only this eunuch could easily get in touch with such secrets.
At this moment, Chunmei's voice said: What's this thing so hot!
Zhao Erniang said: If you like to eat or not, you still think that when you eat other people’s things.
Zhang Ning finally said: Please say less, the two escorts are guests, and the hard work is for our business.Therefore, we should treat it well, so why should we care about the details?
Because not long ago, Zhang Ning had disbanded all the chefs, maids and servants in the yard.
When those people were dismissed, each of them was given five taels of silver. In this era when the family of well-off people only spent more than one tael a year, giving five taels of severance payment was definitely a very kind owner.
