Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Afu asked Dabao to go to Luo's house to play with the two dogs and two birds, while she went back to Luyuan to call the Wang family. The two got into the carriage together, with Aunt Luo still sitting in the carriage.

Aunt Luo smiled and said, "Yesterday, my eldest daughter-in-law returned to Tangyuan with Afulu's vegetarian vegetables and stir-fried garlic sprouts. My uncle and sister liked it very much. Especially my sister, she didn't eat enough at all. Please invite Afu today." Let's fry another dish. It's best to make more vegetarian braised food. The master will return to the nunnery tomorrow. When she goes to Lingyin Temple to deliver orchids to Master Wu Zhi, she will send him some braised food."

Chen Afu laughed, nodded and said, "I can make more braised meat. But there are not many garlic sprouts left in the pot. There is only enough to fry a small plate. I will fry it and send it to you tonight."

Manager Luo and his wife smiled and thanked them.

Chen Afu also said that he wanted to buy not only two or three people who worked, but also one who knew general affairs and one who knew housekeeping.

Manager Luo said, "Working people are easy to buy, as long as they are adults and have sound limbs. But servants who understand general affairs and housekeeping are not easy to buy. The master will not sell such capable people lightly." . If you sell it, you must have made a big mistake. It would be a shame for such a person to buy it home. Another situation is that the master has committed something and the slave is sold by the government. This situation does not happen all the time. "

Chen Afu felt a little worried after hearing this. She didn't necessarily have to buy a servant who knew how to take care of the family, but she especially wanted to buy someone who knew how to deal with general affairs. Chen Ming is relatively simple and does not understand many things, so someone needs to guide him to do it. I am quite busy, and I am a woman, so it is difficult for me to show up directly to manage the fields and do business...

Manager Luo added, "How about this? There are several people like this in the Dingzhou Councilor's House. If Ah Fu can trust me, I will tell you and send two of them to you. Don't worry, the slave deed will be given to you. They I won’t have any second thoughts about you.”

Chen Afu shook his head and said with a smile, "The servants of the Councilor's Mansion are used to enjoying happiness in the city. How could they be willing to live in our countryside, let alone be a servant to me, a village girl." She didn't want to get someone in Cao Ying's heart. People from Han come to the house.

It’s hard to talk about Manager Luo anymore.

When they arrived at the county town, Chen Afu and his daughter bought some household necessities, some new year products, a ginseng root, several jars of wine, and two piglets. Guanshi Luo and his son bought more New Year's goods. It seems that Chu Lingxuan and Lao Houye will come to Tangyuan to celebrate the New Year, so they must buy all the things.

They hired another bullock cart and asked Aunt Luo to take the cart back first. Manager Luo and his son were going to help Chen Afu and his daughter buy someone.

Several people had a bowl of noodles at a noodle shop, and Chen Afu rushed to pay.

There were only two dental shops in the county. They went to see them all, but they found no one who knew anything about general affairs. Chen Afu bought a mother and son, 32-year-old Aunt Mu and 13-year-old Shanzi.

When buying people, it was similar to buying piglets. A group of people stood there and let them choose. This made Chen Afu, who came from a civilized society, very uncomfortable.

Manager Luo glanced around at the people who were being sold, asked a few more questions, and whispered to Chen Afu, "That woman is pretty good. She seems capable at first glance, and she also understands the rules. You can get started with it after you buy it."

Aunt Mu is a neat woman with clear eyes. Even though her clothes are very dirty, she still wears her clothes well and her hair is combed smoothly. She is particularly conspicuous in a group of people.

Chen Afu bought her.

But she didn't like Shanzi because she thought he was too young to work or fight. She wanted to buy another strong man. Aunt Mu knelt down and begged. Chen Afu fell in love with Aunt Mu and couldn't bear to separate their flesh and blood, so they bought it together. The mother and son did not expect to be sold to the same place, so they both cried and kowtowed to Chen Afu and his daughter.

After that, several people rushed to the county government office to apply for the slave contract. The carriage arrived diagonally opposite the county government office. Wang asked Chen Afu to sit in the carriage and wait while she and Luo Yuan went to apply for the deed. Manager Luo also got out of the car and watched the excitement outside.

Chen Afu sat in the carriage with Aunt Mu and Shanzi, talking and inquiring about their life experiences.

Aunt Mu said that their family were all servants of the Cheng family in the neighboring county. Her man died, and the old man wanted to take advantage of her. She didn't want to, and she made a lot of noise when she resisted. When the old lady found out, she sold the mother and son...

Just as he was talking, a loud voice came in, "Mr. Luo, nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

Manager Luo quickly raised his hands and said with a smile, "Zhao Lizheng, what a coincidence."

I just heard that voice say, "I met Uncle Luo in the office just now. The woman with him looked familiar to me. Is it Mrs. Wang? Her maiden name is Wang Juanniang?"

When Chen Afu heard this, he quickly lifted a corner of the car curtain. He was an old man in his fifties, wearing a silk cotton robe, a cotton hat with ears, and his hands in his sleeves. The big nose turned red from the cold, which was annoying to look at.

Manager Luo said, "Yes, it's her. Because we in Tangyuan have some connections with her, my eldest son is helping her with things."

Zhao Lizheng chuckled twice with a smile on his face. He had only heard a few days ago that Wang Juanniang's daughter was working as a needlework master for the young master Tangyuan. He didn't want the Wangs and their daughters to get too close to Tangyuan.

It is said that the master of Tangyuan is a high-ranking official in the Dingzhou Prefecture Army. He is also from a noble family in the capital and has great influence. If he were a high-ranking local official, it would be easier to deal with him, then he would be under the control of Shiying boy. But he is an officer in the army, and Shiying, even Master Qingtian, can’t control him...

He was afraid that the master of Tangyuan would know something, which would be bad.

Zhao Lizheng smiled again and said, "Our Zhaojia Village is holding a flowing banquet this time, and we have invited all the respectable young and old men in the neighborhood. I also asked Mr. Luo to come and have a few drinks."

Manager Luo smiled and said, "Definitely."

Zhao Lizheng leaned closer to Manager Luo again and said with a smile, "Old man, seeing that Mr. Luo is upright, I would like to remind you that Mr. Luo must not blame the old man for talking too much. I heard that Wang Juanniang's reputation seems not to be very good. Her daughter works as a needlework master for your young master, it seems...hehe..."

Manager Luo laughed twice and said with a pun, "Thank you Zhao Lizheng for the reminder. In order not to discredit my uncle, I, Luo, have always been cautious when it comes to recognizing and employing people. I have to find out who the person is before I dare to Used. Master Chen is very good. My uncle is very satisfied with both his character and his craftsmanship. I heard that Master Chen’s mother is also very good, virtuous, diligent and thrifty. One woman actually supports a family and not only raises a pair of The children also cured her husband’s illness. Now, I finally hope that my daughter’s life will be easier when she is older.”

Zhao Lizheng choked and laughed dryly, "That's right, that's right." He bowed his hands to Manager Luo and left.

Chen Afu was very angry. That old man was really wicked. Not only did he want to ruin Wang's reputation, he also wanted to lose his job. Fortunately, Manager Luo was able to push away the old man who was causing trouble.

Thank you for your tips and monthly votes. I recommend Qingquan's old books "The Difficulty of Raising Children in Time" and "The Splendid Peasant Girl". They are relaxed and warm, which is Qingquan's consistent style. The former traditional Chinese book has been published, and the latter one is about to be published. I promise you will not regret it after reading it.
