Bastard’s Resurgence

Chapter 5: The concept of face kills people!

Hua Hanyun gave Lu Zheng a silver ticket, and Lu Zheng glanced at it. There were as many as a hundred taels. Of course he would not refuse Hua Hanyun's request again when he was surprised.

Lu Zheng "reluctantly" agreed to Hua Hanyun's request, and the two entered the old lady's yard. Only then did Hua Hanyun take the time to count the cash in her purse. At this point, she almost fainted.

The banknotes in her show bag are all ten taels or twenty taels. Only the one hundred taels is for the purchase of the girl, who is the steward of the East House, Cui, this morning, and she buys the musical instruments. She then grabbed one of the remaining balance, so many banknotes, but by coincidence, she grabbed the largest one.

The banknotes have been squeezed into Lu Zheng's hands, where can I get back? She felt a pain in her heart, and looking at Lu Zheng, it was really an abomination to her face.

She shattered her silver teeth and calculated in her heart: "This little monkey, grandma can't cure you? The old lady has dealt with it here, looking back, I will not take care of you."

Hua Hanyun is in charge of the Zhang family’s back house, and her skill in tidying up people is very high. The three-bedroom masters and ladies dare not make trouble, but the Zhang family is so big, there are other side branches in the east and west houses, if anyone is annoyed. For him, she deducted the monthly money and didn't send it, or mixed sand on the maid's body, and then used a bit of crooked brains on the diet and daily life. Who could bear it?

The prestige of her mistress in Zhang's family was earned by these means! She hated Lu Zheng so much today, she couldn't help but figure out how to deal with Lu Zheng in her heart.

Mother Zhang's yard became quiet, and everyone turned their eyes on Lu Zheng.

Looking at Lu Zheng's thin body, he doesn't look like a cunning guy, but he caused the disaster today!

The eldest wife, Mrs. Gu snorted softly, but Lu Zheng had already walked over quickly. He bowed to the old lady, and then to Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Lin, Zhang Chengbei’s main room, and said: "Old My ancestors, my eldest aunt, my third aunt, my aunts, and my brother Zheng, please peace of mind. A few days ago, I fell ill and my brain was dizzy. Since yesterday, I felt my brain is clear and bright. I feel better when I wake up today and worry about my old age. The grandparents and aunts were worried, so they came over to say hello to the elders."

Lu Zheng's behavior is natural and unrestrained, in front of so many people, without the slightest restraint, his speech and behavior are different from his first visit to Zhangjia.

Because Lu Zheng's predecessor was a **** in the Lu family, he was bullied since he was a child, and he has a low self-esteem in his bones. After being exiled to Zhang's house, he was discouraged, and his inner fear could not be concealed. When I first met the old lady and Mrs. Sanfang, my tongue couldn't turn around, and my speech was incoherent.

Looking at his description of being thin and thin, his eyes gleaming, he is naturally insignificant and stingy. Where can he get into the eyes of the ladies?

So the Zhang family, from Mother Zhang to the ordinary servant maids, didn't take Lu Zheng seriously. It was the second time that most people, including the old lady, saw Lu Zheng today. This meeting was quite different from the first time.

Mother Zhang stepped forward with a kind smile on her face. She reached out and grabbed Lu Zheng's little arm, and said, "My dear brother, after you were seriously ill, you have become more energetic, and your face and head seem to be open. Hey, listen. Saying that you are sick, my old lady is also worried in my heart. I think that our Zhang and Lu two families are one, and we have met from generation to generation. Your mother sent you here and has high hopes for you. If there are any shortcomings in Yangzhou, how can my grandmother give it to your mother? Confess?

Today, you are better off, and a big rock in my heart finally let go. "

She paused, and then said, "Brother Lu, it's been more than a month since I came to my Zhang family. Is the food and lodging okay? What's wrong with my grandmother, I'll call you the shots!"

Lu Zheng looked at the kind old man in front of him, wondering if he believed you! Everyone in the big family is really deep in the capital.

Lu Zheng and Zhang Mu are close, and he can clearly feel Zhang's dislike or even dislike for him. However, on the face of it, people do it without leaking. With this skill, it is no wonder that Zhang's mother can manage such a big family.

But who is Lu Zheng? He is now two lives. In his previous life, he had been in officialdom. I don't know how many intrigues he has experienced. The old lady's battles are really drizzle to him.

He chuckled and said naturally: "Returning to the ancestors, everything is fine, except that some water and soil are not suitable. The body is not good, and the taste of sea delicacies cannot be eaten well. The sleeping dragon collapses and the phoenix luan can't sleep well. Well, eating brown rice husks can also be delicious, and sleeping in a mud house can also sleep soundly. Old ancestors, do you think this is the reason?"

Mother Zhang's smile couldn't help but froze, and the surrounding wives and grandmothers pulled their hearts into the air. Brother Lu, a young man, was very hot. He said that everything is fine, but he has to mention brown rice husks and leaking houses. He clearly wants to stimulate the ancestors.

Mrs. Gu raised her brows and said, "Brother Lu, what do you mean by this brown rice husk and the leaking house? The old lady is personally involved in your daily life. The maid who serves you should give it to you. The money for the month and the clothes and decorations for the New Year are all based on the brothers at home. It’s just that you’ve been sick for more than half a month, and you haven’t had time for all kinds of resettlement, and because you’re sick, the people around you have changed. It's because of the unacceptable nature. Can you understand the painstaking effort of the elders?"

Lu Zheng nodded repeatedly and said, "My aunt is right. The Zhang family has a big business, and the ancestors are in charge of the food and drink of tens of thousands of people. Even if some of the younger generations dare to blame the ancestors? In our Lu family, A few **** bold minions are also common.

The servant in charge deducted the monthly money of the girls and went out to put the stamp money. The girls in the side room were taken and sold outside the house. The cost of food and clothing was still hanging on the account book of the house. There was also an arrangement for the kitchen to deliberately make brown rice chaff. Ruining people, planting dead plantains in the yard, piling up **** and bird feces, anyway, you just want to be a bitch. It's not uncommon for a slave to deceive the Lord! "

When Lu Zheng said these words, the audience fell into a dead silence, everyone was silent, Hua Hanyun stood behind Lu Zheng, her hands and feet trembling with fright.

Lu Zheng's remarks seemed to be specifically directed at her, except that Hua Hanyun couldn't figure it out under the guise of a minion. Where did Lu Zheng know such ways at a young age? Could it be that there is someone behind the instigation?

"My God, these things are really going to be pierced, and they were pierced that day! Can the Zhang family still manage it?"

At the critical moment, Hua Hanyun "chuckled" and said, "Brother Lu, why did you say that the old lady asked you to come over today? It's because of your cost of food and clothing! You just got better, and the ancestors were afraid of you. Eat poorly, sleep soundly, or acclimatize.

The old ancestor said, I will add two big girls to you, and two women who take advantage of it. I have already arranged. Ying'er, come over and take the pair of cards, go to Cui Da's place and pay Lu Ge'er's money for the month, and then one more phoenix tail and a piece of brocade cloth. In addition, I will find another twenty taels of silver from Cuihong, as my second sister-in-law gave my brother to buy food to replenish his body. "

Hua Hanyun's heart was dripping blood, but she acted cleanly. This arrangement was not leaking, and no one could pick out the half.

The old lady glanced at Hua Hanyun and said, "I will add twenty taels too!"

The old lady added twenty taels. Mrs. Gu from Zhang Chengdong’s family and Mrs. Lin from Zhang Chengbei’s family naturally also added twenty taels. Both Zhang Chengxi and his wife lived in Beijing. There was only one aunt Ma, Ma. Auntie added another dozen taels.

There are also Zhang Chengdong’s side room and Zhang Chengbei’s side room. There are also three or five taels. The scene is like a fundraiser. The amount of money collected is more than a hundred taels. When Lu Zheng saw this scene, he only thought it was ridiculous and funny. pole.

Throughout the ages, the concept of face has really killed people. Looking at this group of wives and grandmothers, it is estimated that no one has a good impression of Lu Zheng, especially Hua Hanyun, who may wish to eat Lu Zheng's meat. But everyone didn't show their face. Instead, they were trying to add money to Lu Zheng, as if they were really afraid that Lu Zheng would not have enough money, that he could not eat well, and that he could not sleep well.

Lu Zheng knew in his heart that he had offended the ancestors of the Zhang family and the wives and grandmothers today, but he didn't care much. His identity was destined to be impossible to have a good relationship with the Zhang family. Instead of this, Lu There is no need for Zheng to wrong himself at all. The money he can get must not be vague. With money, he should not worry about his livelihood, so he can start the next step of the plan.

As soon as his busy schedule was over, Lu Zheng returned from the old lady’s yard with loads of loads, leaving Mother Zhang and the others as disgusting as if they had just eaten a meal of flies.

Giving money, giving away people, and protecting face, but it's upset, especially Mrs. Zhang.

Lu Zheng was arranged by her daughter, Mrs. Zhang, to come to Zhang's mansion. The mother and daughter connected to the heart. How could she not be clear about the meaning behind her daughter's arrangement? But Lu Zheng's fate was so big that he couldn't die even if he got such a madness.

Now Zhang's mother has to give Lu Zheng money and people to protect the face of the Zhang family. The Lu family is a family of public officials, a real family of poems and rituals, and even a concubine is so powerful!

After being bored for a while, the girl at the door reported that Brother Hao had come to please peace, and the old lady was relieved and changed a smile on her face again.

Zhang Haoran is a well-deserved name, sixteen years old, face like a crown, eyes like lacquer, wearing a white robe, good book business. Behind him, his younger brother Zhang Tang, as well as Sanfang's cousins ​​Zhang Zhen and Zhang Wei all came to greet the ancestors.

Seeing my brothers showing talents one by one, full of energy, the old lady swept away her depressed mood and hugged Zhang Haoran beside her, saying:

"Guys, my Zhang family should be proud of the heirs of poetry and calligraphy. Don't learn from those public servants, but rely on the merits accumulated by the ancestors of Yin to build the world. A Tao is inferior in all things, only a high school, Brother Hao You are a good student, Brother Tang, Brother Zhen, you must also work hard, give grandmother a few more candidates and scholars, and shine on my Zhang family lintel!"
