I’m The King Chapter 9: :filial piety
After finishing his official business, Lu Hong changed the topic.
“I heard from Zhang Yi that you are very interested in that little girl in Mrs. Ye’s house?”
Gao Yuan couldn’t help but blush, “No, it’s just that they are pitiful, so I can help them.”
Lu Hong waved his hand, “In front of me, don’t be embarrassed. The daughter of Mrs. Ye’s family is not bad, but she is a little thinner. If you take good care of her, you may be able to take care of her well, but there is one thing. I have to remind you that the origin of this family is a bit strange.”
“There are three people in their family, and they can’t even eat enough to eat. What’s the strange origin?” Gao Yuan asked curiously.
“Well, they are not locals of Fufeng.” Lu Hong thought for a while, “It must be more than ten years since I came to Fufeng. In fact, there are always some foreigners every year. I didn’t pay attention to this at first, but they I lived next door to your house, so I paid attention to it, and once I accidentally discovered that all three members of this family can read and write, which is weird.”
“What’s weird about this?” Gao Yuan couldn’t figure it out.
“You, you are really confused. Reading is a costly thing, and after they came to Fufeng County, they have never invited a husband, so there is only one possibility, that is, Mrs. Ye is literate. These days, there are very few men who can afford to read. It’s strange that a woman can read and write. So I checked, but I couldn’t find the roots of this family. They seem to have fallen from the sky.”
“Maybe they came from far away, uncle didn’t find out.”
“Perhaps what you said makes sense, but this Mrs. Ye usually looks no different from ordinary women, but what she occasionally reveals makes me startled. Gao Yuan, to tell you the truth, I I also saw a lot of noble ladies, but occasionally the demeanor of Mrs. Ye’s show, I’m afraid even our prefect’s wife can’t show it. Moreover, Ye Jing’er’s every move, every word and deed, looks unusual, In the first year of Zhaoping, a lot of things happened, and many people disappeared overnight, so I suspected that they had something to do with those things back then.
“What happened in the first year of Zhaoping?” Gao Yuan asked.
“Don’t ask about that. In short, we little people can’t ask or talk about the events of the year. If this family is really related to the events of the year, I advise you not to provoke them, otherwise you will cause trouble Upper body, don’t say it’s me, even the prefect can’t protect you.” Lu Hong said seriously.
Gao Yuan couldn’t help being startled. “I know, Uncle. But it’s been almost ten years, things are different, and it doesn’t necessarily cause trouble.”
Lu Hong looked Gao Yuan up and down, “It seems that you are really attracted to this girl, you just need to know about it.”
“Thank you uncle for your concern. My nephew has one more thing to ask my uncle. Please agree with my uncle.”
“Well, what is it, tell me!”
“Uncle, Zhang Yi has been with me for so long, and I can handle it easily. I really still need a housekeeper in my family. Please give me Zhang Yi.”
“What should I do, a slave, if you want it, just take it.”
“It’s not just Zhang Yi. I want one more!” Gao Yuan said with a shy face. “It’s the rough envoy girl in the mansion, her name is Tweety.”
“You’re talking about Zhang Yi’s acquaintance, okay!” Lu Hong said with a smile, “Okay, I’ll give you all the good things after I’ve done them.”
“That’s great, Uncle, I’ll send the ransom money for the two of you to Uncle’s house later.”
“What are you talking about, two slaves, what is it worth? Later, I will ask Lu Bin to give you the deed of sale of the two of them. From today on, the two of them are yours.”
“Thank you, Uncle!” Another thing has been done, Gao Yuan is overjoyed, Zhang Yi is down-to-earth, Gao Yuan can’t do without him now.
When Gao Yuan left the Lu Mansion, there were already two more people behind him. Both Zhang Yi and his good friend Cui’er were sold as slaves, and they had nothing to clean up. From now on, Gao Yuan is considered a person, both of them are overjoyed, Gao Yuan looked at Tweety, as Zhang Yi said, she has **** and big buttocks, she is a good child.
Suppressing a smile, she went home and told Zhang Yi and Tweety to tidy up the side room.
“Since the two of you are on good terms, there are not so many rules. This house will be your home from now on. Choose an auspicious day later, and we will set up a table at home, and we will be married for you. You two follow me, Zhang Yi pays twice a month, Cui Er always pays, well, young master, I don’t have any money right now, when I have money, I can raise my wages, okay?”
Both Zhang Yi and Cui’er turned over and fell to the ground, “Thank you, young master, I will do my best for you in the future.”
“Okay, okay, that’s it, don’t move around like a beetle, follow me, you won’t suffer!” Gao Yuan waved his hand and said.” Tweet clean up first, Zhang Yi, come with me .”
Zhang Yi happily went out with Gao Yuan. No matter how small the Gao family is, he is now a housekeeper. No matter how big the Lu family is, he is just a slave. I’m afraid I’ll offend him.
“Zhang Yi, find some masons for me tomorrow.”
“Master, do you want to repair the house? Yes, I will do it tomorrow.”
“What kind of house to build? I want to get a steamer. Today I drank a so-called good wine at Uncle Lu’s house. It’s really hard to drink. I’ll get some real wine. By the way, last year’s Don’t sell the old grain, I want to use it to make wine.” Gao Yuan said nonchalantly.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi was dumbfounded as soon as he heard it, and waved his hands again and again: “Master, you want to make wine, this is not allowed.”
“Why not?” Gao Yuan was a little puzzled.
“Young master, you can’t remember anything. Not everyone can brew wine. In our Fufeng, only the county magistrate Mr. Wu can make wine. If others dare to do this, how can they do it?” was caught.”
“Is there still such a thing?” Gao Yuan was stunned, it turned out to be a monopoly operation. However, he still said indifferently: “It’s okay, I’m not going to do business, or brew and drink by myself, and even give my uncle a little respect , I see that my uncle likes to drink, and the county magistrate Wu is too mean. The so-called good wine given to my uncle can be tasted there. It’s just a little bit of filial piety. Is it possible that Mr. Wu will come to my house to arrest me? How dare you? I won’t compete with him for business, and he won’t even give uncle this little face.”
“It turned out to be brewed for myself to drink, but the young master gave me a fright!” Zhang Yi patted his chest, “The young master didn’t know about it, there were people who robbed the Wu family for business before, and they ended up miserable. Now the entire Fufeng, that is, the Wu family is running the wine business.”
“Okay, I’ll find someone tomorrow. I’m going to take up the post after I get this done. I’m afraid it will be a troublesome thing there. Soldiers eat and get paid. If there is no food and no pay, I’m afraid it won’t be good. Fiddle with it.” When Gao Yuan thought of this, he was worried.
“Don’t be afraid, young master. In Fufeng, who doesn’t know that Mr. Dao is the young master’s uncle, and those soldiers who dare not sell your face will be tired of life.” Zhang Yi didn’t care.
“You don’t understand.” Gao Yuan waved his hand. “I have to think of a way to do this. The key is money. If you have money, you can do things easily. Forget it, don’t think about it for now, Zhang Yi, you go first Rest, hurry up and find a mason, hurry up tomorrow, we have to make distiller’s yeast first, if we want to make wine, this distiller’s yeast is the key.”
“How did the young master do this? I know the koji. To make good wine, the key is the koji. Only the most direct descendants of the Wu family know how to make the koji. How can the young master?” Zhang Yi asked strangely.
Gao Yuan smiled mysteriously, “Young master, I know it from birth, do you understand?”
