Chapter 42 The Sadness of the Boss
The three people who came in knew that they were from the officialdom when they saw their demeanor and manners.
Zhu Youlang did not know the two people who came in, but the three of them bowed to Zhu Youlang and said, "Young Master, I'll pay you a blessing."
Zhu Youlang didn't know them, so he was stunned for a moment. Bai Xing came in and said in his ear: "The prefect of Jingzhou Yao Zhide, the prefect of Yiling Xie Yingyun, and the prefect of Liu Zhenguo."
"Wow, it's coming so fast. Yao Zhide actually rushed over from Jingzhou?" Zhu Youlang saw that the three of them were wearing casual clothes and was quite satisfied. He rushed to Yao Zhide and Xie Yingyun. Liu Zhenguo nodded: "You guys sit down first, don't disturb me for food. Let's talk about it after the meal."
"Yes, yes, the young ones are also competing with the master's glory and try the famous Yiling food."
The person who spoke in front was Yao Zhide, about fifty, three beards. Although he was wearing casual clothes, the scholar could not hide his anger.
"Boss, let's have three more bowls of slag." Yao Zhide, Xie Yingyun, Liu Zhenguo bowed to Zhu Youlang and sat on the table on the side.
The hot dough was served on the table. Zhu Youlang looked at it and felt that it was not much like the tofu brain in his hometown. It was just that the tofu brain was white, while the dough was white and the dough was green in white, which was similar to the tofu vegetable dough in his hometown.
I picked up the spoon and took a sip and it felt OK.
Although it is not as delicate as tofu brain, the aroma of beans and vegetable aromas are also unique.
"Keep, don't eat like this. It's better to add some small ingredients." The boss's wife saw that Zhu Youlang was an amateur, and quickly pointed to the various seasonings on the table and said.
When Zhu Youlang saw that the so-called seasonings were nothing more than salt, pepper, pepper, and minced garlic. He put a little of them as he said and tasted them again. It turned out that it was much better than before. The main reason was that these seasonings covered up the flavor of vegetables.
Zhu Youlang finished eating beautifully, and Yang Ai picked up a towel and wiped his mouth.
"How about the guest officer, is it delicious?" asked the boss lady.
Zhu Youlang gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's delicious, my sister-in-law is really a good craft. See the gift!"
Li Hong quickly took out a ingot of silver and handed it to the boss's wife.
The boss's wife smiled when she heard Zhu Youlang's praise. When she saw the silver ingot, she was shocked.
"No, no, no, there are too many guests. Including the three guests later, there are only thirty eldest sons." The boss's wife shook her hands and refused to dare to take the silver ingot.
"Young Master rewards you, just take it." Qin Liangyu took the silver from Li Hong and forced it to the woman.
"What are you saying about this? We have met a good man. Young Master, do you live in Yiling? Where is your mansion? In the future, if you want to eat this food, the little woman will send it to you." The woman looked at the silver ingot and wiped away her tears excitedly.
"I am not from Yiling, I am just passing by here. Boss, you don't have to be polite, please keep it. Come, sit down and talk to me." Zhu Youlang said.
Chen Zhenhui quickly stood up and gave up her stool.
The woman sat down with half of her butt and kept saying good things: "Young Master, you are a great person at first sight. You will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future, and the wife will definitely give birth to a fat boy for you early."
When Yang Ai saw her say this, she kept looking at herself and smiled proudly: "Master, look, this sister-in-law is really good at speaking."
"Sister-in-law, I'll lend you a good word. Sister-in-law, what's wrong with what you said just now?" Zhu Youlang said.
"Cough cough cough..." Before the woman could answer, her man coughed twice.
"Why are you coughing?! You cough, I also said, "I can't say anything? It's like you are a coward. Is there still a way out for the people in the world?" The woman turned around and glared at the man and cursed.
The man shrank his neck and stopped talking.
"Young Master, I'll tell you that all you see on this street are fake." The woman lowered her voice and said.
"All of them are fake? How about fake methods?" Zhu Youlang asked.
"Come on, someone is going to be unlucky." Gu Yanwu's face happened to face Yao Zhide and the other two. Seeing Xie Yingyun, Liu Zhenguo's face changed and he quickly glanced at them coldly.
He was warning them not to interrupt.
"I heard that the emperor was going to pass by Yiling. Ten days ago, the government drove all the poor, beggars and husbands on the street to Guandi Temple in the south of the city. The people on the street you saw were all from wealthy families, fearing that there were few people and they were not good-looking, so they even asked them to go back and forth." The woman said mysteriously.
"Beggar, are there many poor people?" Zhu Youlang asked with a frown.
"More! The sea is gone, it's okay if the weather is warming. Last winter, when will you not freeze to death? Don't you starve to death?"
"Who are the ones who are frozen to death and starved to death?"
"Who? Look at what you asked, anyway, they are not from the Hu family, they are all tenants, and people without land."
"How could it be? Is there no land distribution in the government?"
"Hey, Master, you are a nobleman, how could you know these dirty things? The emperor said, saying that you would pay grain according to the land acres. Now the wealthy households are in trouble. If you want to drink the blood of the tenants, you can't drink it. If you are honest, you will return the land to the tenants. If you are smart, you will buy the two money in your hands into a shop. If you are powerful, you will return the land to the tenants. In fact, you are hooking up with the government and don't take the land out at all."
Hearing this, Zhu Youlang didn't even rush to the point: "Oh, I killed Li Yongmaobai and killed? How could these guys do such a thing?"
Gu Yanwu saw that Yao Zhide's face was pretty good. Although he was embarrassed, he did not react much. Xie Yingyun and Liu Zhenguo's face were full of sweat.
I know that these two people have ghosts in their hearts.
Gu Yanwu expected it well. Xie Yingyun and Liu Zhenguo came to see the emperor. He wanted to show his merits, but he didn't expect that he had heard so many unfavorable words.
It was like a slight slap in the middle of the needle and the two of them wanted to tear the mouth of this verbal woman.
But the emperor is here, so he doesn't even dare to say anything more.
"Sister-in-law, you said just now that your family seemed to have encountered difficulties?" Zhu Youlang asked again.
"Oh, I can't say it, I'm angry when I say it!" The woman said angrily, "Young Master, you don't know that the largest wealthy family in Yiling is Hu Chunlai, who is the father of the concubine who guards Liu Zhenguo, and is also the same clan of our heads. Hu Chunlai is really a damn Hu Lai, who relies on Liu Zhenguo's power to bully men and women and do everything he wants. It's okay, my brother-in-law is also a tenant of his family. After the new policy of the emperor's old man came out, he refused to pay the rent for him as usual, and he was only willing to take the food of the court. But Hu Chunlai refused and insisted that my brother-in-law pay the food of the court and then pay the rent for his family. My brother-in-law is not good either, but he just refuses to pay it. Alas, in the end, Hu Lai's legs were sold off, and he can't go to the field until now. Poor my brother-in-law's family, and now it's all over. Alas!"
"Why are you talking about this? Is it useful?" After the woman said that, her man seemed to have been scarred by this past event, with tears in her eyes and scolding the woman...
