Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 1171 Xi Lian

Li Tianhe looked ugly and was extremely depressed. When the boss-like Cheng Dadu said this, he knew that something was probably wrong with him.

Lu Yushi, who paid people to carry him home, realized his mistake earlier than Li Tianhe. When Zhao Hanzhang appeared and punished them, he knew where he was wrong.

So as soon as he got home, he said to his pale-faced wife, "I've gotten into big trouble."

Lu Yushi's wife Xi Lian asked her servants to call a doctor while listening carefully to her husband's description of what trouble he had gotten into.

After listening, Xi Lian frowned and looked at him, puzzled, "When you encounter a colleague bullying a colleague, you don't say anything to stop him, but you still continue to tease and bully him?"

Lu Yushi smiled bitterly and said: "Because Fu Tinghan is in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry, the general attaches great importance to the Ministry of Industry, especially Sinong Temple and the Ministry of Water. Most of this year's taxes have been allocated to the Ministry of Industry. That Shen Ruhui Yu Wei and Yu Wei are of average talent and only know a few farming skills, but they are praised and used again and again. Especially Yu Wei, who is only a doctor, but can enter and exit the palace at will. I am dissatisfied and see Li Tian and a few warriors teasing them both. People can't help it..."

Xi Lian said: "Those who humiliate others will always be humiliated."

Lu Yushi said with a face of shame: "I already knew I was wrong. No matter how dissatisfied I am, I can impeach him or object in court, but I shouldn't be so humiliating in private. But the most important thing now is how to calm him down." The general is angry. Shen Ruhui and Fu Tinghan have a very good relationship. Now Fu Tinghan is out fighting floods. If the general wants to stand up for him, I... sigh! "

Xi Lian glared at her husband and turned to leave. After a while, she came over with a book and two bamboo slips. She handed the book to her husband first and said: "These are the miscellaneous notes that our ancestors jotted down when they were in office in Yanzhou." , two of them are about Fu Gong's strategies for water control, and the rest are Yanzhou customs recorded by his grandfather, and some of his own opinions on water control and administration. They were originally jotted down, but my father often read them when he was still alive. He also said that based on this book, Even if the descendants are unworthy, they can still make progress."

But after several years of war, her father and brothers were gone. She only kept two boxes of more than ten boxes of books and bamboo slips left at home. These were her capital and dowry, and even her husband could not use them casually. Today, in order to calm Zhao Hanzhang's anger, she had to take it out.

Xi Lian was reluctant to part with it, but even more reluctant to part with it were the two bamboo slips she was groping for in her hands.

Lu Yushi was confused, "What is this?"

Xi Lian touched the bamboo slip and said: "This is the "Compendium of Materia Medica" left by my maternal ancestors. It not only records the appearance, name and place of growth of the things seen, but also the methods of planting, eating and medicinal herbs. It also includes curative effects and common formulas. When my mother was alive, her favorite book was the Materia Medica. My family has a total of twelve volumes, but ten volumes were lost when we fled, and now only two volumes are left."

When Lu Yushi heard this, he was moved and guilty. He held her hand and said, "It's my fault. I have wronged Madam this time. When I find something better in the future, I will definitely exchange this bamboo slip for you." "

Xi Lian put the book and bamboo slips into boxes separately, "No need, I copied both the book and the bamboo slips and made a backup."

Not only did she make a backup, she also memorized it, but it was the original manuscript and she couldn't bear to part with it.

Xi Lian and other servants invited the doctor back and made sure that he only had a flesh injury and could go to the ground after a few days of rest. Then he had someone hitch a bullock cart and said, "I will go and apologize to Dr. Shen Zhongyu in person. You can rest first."

Lu Yushi nodded with tears in his eyes and waved to her, "Madam, leave early and come back early. I think Shen Ruhui and Yu Wei are quite tolerant and won't embarrass you too much."

Xi Lian glanced at him, so you still bully him?

Yushi Lu understood her subtext and regretted it again.

Xi Lian went to Shen's house first.

Shen Ruhui came to seek refuge with her early, and came to join her from Gou Xi, who was at the height of his power. He was also recruited by Zhao Zhongyu, so Zhao Hanzhang also treated him very favorably and gave him a house as a gift as soon as he came.

And it's not that small, it's a three-story house.

But there weren't many people living there. Except for a domestic servant, Shen Xian, who had been following Shen Ruhui, there were only a coachman with a broken hand, a rough woman with a deaf ear, and an old and lame concierge.

Xi Lian asked the coachman to knock on the door. After waiting for a long time, the door opened a crack. An old face leaned against the crack of the door and looked out. A pair of sharp and wary eyes looked out. When he saw Xi Lian, he narrowed his eyes and looked up and down. Then he opened the door with a brush.

Only then did Xi Lian see the person clearly. He was wearing a gray coarse cloth shirt, and his trouser legs were still stained with mud. His shoes were not put in, but he was dragged out by stepping on them. His hands were also covered in mud.

When the concierge saw her looking at him, he immediately put his hands behind his back and wiped them with embarrassment. He tried his best to put on a smile on his face and said, "Who is the girl?"

Xi Lian slightly bent her knees and saluted: "I am the wife of Yushitai Lu Xing. I would like to see Dr. Shen. I also ask my father-in-law to inform me."

When the concierge heard this, his face was full of disappointment, "You are married~"

Xi Lian:......

Although disappointed, the concierge still said seriously: "My husband hasn't come home yet. Madam wants to see me, so I'm afraid it will have to wait for a while. Why don't you come back later, or leave a post first and make an appointment when my master comes back." Will you come again when the time comes?"

The concierge finally remembered the correct procedure for receiving guests. In this era, unless it is a very urgent matter or the relationship is very, very close, anyone who wants to come to the house as a guest must first inform the host and make an agreement with the host. Time to come again.

This is basic etiquette.

Doesn't this lady seem to have made an appointment?

The concierge finally remembered that something was wrong, looked at Xi Lian again, and inquired: "Why is Madam looking for my husband?"

Xi Lian said: "I am here to apologize on behalf of my husband."

She handed the box to the concierge, "This is an apology gift to Dr. Shen. I ask my husband to hand it over to me. My husband and I will come to apologize in person another day."

When the concierge heard this, how could he dare to accept it?

He quickly refused.

Xi Lian sighed, and without forcing the concierge, she took back the box and said, "Then I'll come back later."

She looked up at the sun and wondered, "Isn't it already past the time for the office?"

The concierge said: "Our husband is very diligent. Even in the lower office, he always works overtime at the office. Sometimes he doesn't come back until sunset."

That's too late.

Shen Ruhui is so diligent, which shows that there are a lot of things in the Ministry of Works, and Shen Ruhui is very important. Compared with the husband at home who can always go home from the office on time, Xi Lian frowns in disgust. Just like this, she still thinks Shen Ruhui is not talented?

Without talent, how could the general use him so highly?

Xi Lian never looked down upon people from the Ministry of Works. Unlike Yushi Lu, she had a fixed mindset. She believed that etiquette was the most important, followed by the Ministry of Personnel and Household Affairs, followed by the Ministry of War, and the lowest by the Ministry of Works. She always felt that etiquette was the most important. Since the general gave equal emphasis to the six ministries, it means that there is no priority among the six ministries. It is just that the officials of each ministry despise each other. They all feel that they are important and look down on others.

Huh, Xi Lian looks down on these people who look down on others.

The first banquet gathering day twice a year ends tonight. My wallet is shrinking and time is back on my hands again. I can strive for normal double updates tomorrow.

Let's meet again in four months. I hope that the banquet in four months will be comparable to that of this National Day.

See you tomorrow
