The ancient life of a master craftsman

As soon as the little official was sent away, the big guys gradually dispersed, and another carriage came to the door of Li's house.After the young man who was driving stopped the car, he came down and knocked on the front door of Li's house. Li Enbai who happened to be still in the yard opened the door.

"Liu Zhou?" Li Enbai called out the young man's name, "Aren't you in the capital?"

Liu Zhou bowed to him, "Master Li, the younger one came back from the capital after receiving a letter from the young master."

"Oh, come in quickly." Li Enbai was about to get out of the way as he said that.

Liu Zhou hurriedly stopped him, "Farewell, Young Master Li, how can the young one go through the front door? Just ask someone to open the back door for the young one."

"That's fine, do you know where the back door is?" Li Enbai knew that this was the rule, so naturally he would not force Liu Zhou to change it.

"Know, know."

"Come on, I'll ask Shuangzhong to open the door, come in if you have something to say." Li Enbai saw Liu Zhou driving the carriage around to the back door, and closed the front door, "Shuangzhong, go and open the back door."

"Understood, master." Shuangzhong put down the axe, put the chopped firewood on the firewood pile, and then went to the backyard to open the door. Seeing the carriage marked by the Liu family, he opened the back door to let the carriage in.

Liu Zhou and his husband came back together. They went to the front yard to greet Liu Chuncheng and Liu Mingxi first, and then they started chatting about family affairs.

This was the second time Li Enbai saw Liu Zhou's husband, but he looked like he didn't know each other, and said to Liu Zhou, "Are you two learning to walk in Handan?"

It’s really that Brother Qiaoer’s posture is very awkward now, not to say that he is ugly, but uncomfortable. The kind of disobedience that comes out from the bottom of his body is like a cat who insists on learning from a dog. Not only does he feel uncomfortable, but he also sees People are also uncomfortable.

Liu Zhou didn't understand, so, "Master Li, I don't understand what you mean, you mean?"

Li Enbai pointed to his husband, "Where did your husband go so hard?"

When he said it bluntly, Liu Mingxi chuckled and said to Li Enbai, "Hahaha, I told you to see that Liu Zhou is a worthless kid. He wrote to me crying and shouting to come back. I was thinking not to come out." What's the matter?"

He paused for a while, "I asked Liu Chong to find someone to ask. It turned out that Brother Qiao was often embarrassed by people in the capital, and he didn't even dare to speak loudly. Liu Zhou felt sorry for Fu Lang, so he insisted on coming back."

Brother Qiao'er's face was flushed, and he moved uneasily, the wind and dust brought out from his bones could not be concealed.

Li Enbai frowned, "Are people in the capital so pedantic?"

"That's not true, but such people can be found everywhere, and in the capital, the Liu family is only a third-rate family. There are too many people they can't afford to offend, and they have to behave with their tails between their legs." Liu Mingxi said pitifully, but look His behavior is not honest.

Zhao Ping'an has a deep understanding. Liu Mingxi is used to watching people order dishes. You can see that he gets along with Li Enbai, and he speaks frankly, saying what he has to say, which is the most appetite for Li Enbai, but when he goes out to others, it is also Another face.

For example, for himself, Liu Mingxi never hesitated to express his dissatisfaction, because he knew that for his father's sake, he would never really embarrass him, so he didn't care to hide it.

The point is that his father is still very particular about this, thinking that his blunt expression of dissatisfaction is to complain for the teacher, and he is a relative who sincerely puts the teacher's feelings first, so he takes care of him in private.

When Liu Mingxi went to discuss business with someone, he also put on a smiling face, politely fooled him, and reached a deal with him.

But this person treats his family really well, and he is very defensive.Zhao Pingan made a comment in his heart, holding a teacup to watch their exchange.

Zhang Jiu came in to deliver tea, and saw Qiao Geer very uncomfortable under the sight of the men, so he stepped forward to ask Li Enbai for instructions, and took Qiao Geer out.

Liu Zhou was exposed by his young master, and patted the back of his head with a smirk, "Hey, I want to come back to serve the young master."

"Oh? Then the young master will come to the capital tomorrow, so I'll bring you two with me." Liu Mingxi teased Liu Zhou intentionally.

Liu Zhou also went on the road, and immediately slapped himself, "Look at my mouth, it's slick, young master, I don't know my wife and husband, I'd better stay in Xinglong Town and show you the house."

"Hahahahaha." Liu Mingxi was amused by Liu Zhou's intentionally pitiful appearance.

Even Li Enbai couldn't help laughing, this Liu Zhou is really lively.

Over there, Brother Qiao was taken to the kitchen by Zhang Jiu, and Yunli happened to be in the kitchen. Seeing him bring a little brother he didn’t know, he thought for a while and said, “This is Brother Qiao, right? Come to my house once and give you some snacks, you're welcome."

Although Yunli hasn't learned how to instigate others, the husband of the rich family, but now he treats people very well, being generous and not intentionally showing off, and it is easy to win the favor of others.

Brother Qiao also thanked him softly, but didn't dare to really go to get the snacks. Yunli saw that his cautious appearance was pitiful, so she pulled Zhang Jiu and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Qiao?"

Zhang Jiu went to deliver tea before, and listened to it in the living room, but he didn't know much about it, so he couldn't explain clearly.However, his eyes are vicious, and he has long seen that this brother Qiao must have a bad background.

Brother Qiao'er has a dusty atmosphere that can only be seen over the years, no matter how he hides it, it will show a little bit in his demeanor.

Yunli suppressed her curiosity, and quietly asked Zhang Jiu to take Qiao Geer with her, so that she was familiar with the family, "Jiu Geer, it seems that Qiao Geer will also live in our house, you teach him, be kind, and often Just assign Le Ge's work to him, so it will be easier for you."

Zhang Jiu has to take care of the housework of the whole family by himself. Although Yunli will not be idle, there are some things he cannot do as the master. There are four members of the Liu family, only one Liu Chong is a servant, but he also serves. There are only three masters here, so Zhang Jiu is really not free these days.

Yunli saw it, and felt sorry for him. It happened that Brother Qiao came and was a servant of the Liu family. Naturally, he should take over the daily life of the three members of the Liu family.

"Hey, I got it, don't worry, little master." Zhang Jiu smiled, and the whole room became much brighter.

It also made Brother Qiao look at his face unconsciously. Brother Qiao has actually relaxed a lot. During the few months in the capital, he was often pointed at by others, and there were not a few people who bullied him secretly. Some men even wanted to take advantage of it. Take advantage of him when his husband is away.

The reason is that the fact that he was born in a brothel was found out, so not only the masters detested him, but the servants also despised him. He didn't care at first, but he really felt inferior because he came from a brothel, so he worked hard to change his body. dusty atmosphere.

Liu Zhou came back from work, and accidentally found out that his husband was being bullied, scolded, and almost taken advantage of by others, so he wrote a letter to Liu Mingxi without hesitation.

Liu Mingxi thought that now that he was living in Li's house, there were really two servants missing by his side, so he called them back.

On the way, brother Qiao'er has recovered a lot, but now he just arrived at Li's house and was a little nervous, so he unconsciously showed his posture in the capital.

But Zhang Jiu and the others were very kind to him, so he gradually relaxed. Later, he saw that the Li family didn't mind his background, so he let go. Yunli was curious about the brothel, so he quietly told Yunli and Zhang Jiu said.

Talking about those years in the building, Brother Qiao couldn't help but rejoice that if it wasn't for Young Master Li, he wouldn't have met Little Brother Zhou, and maybe he was still struggling to survive inside.

I don't know how Yanyu is doing now, how he is going to live without him picking up those guests he doesn't want to pick up for him.Maybe if he finds a chance, he should find a way to take a look.

He thought so, but he didn't dare to let him go back.

The men over there also learned about what happened to Liu Zhou and Brother Qiaoer in the capital, Liu Mingxi's laughing expression disappeared, his face was full of anger, and he slapped the table, "That's right! Liu Yuenong even dared to bully the people in my yard! "

Liu Chuncheng also had an ugly expression, "Okay, stop talking, Liu Zhou, go down and rest first."

"Yes, Second Master, Eldest Young Master, Young Master Zhao, Young Master Li, the younger ones will leave." Liu Zhou withdrew immediately.

After listening to Liu Mingxi's explanation, Li Enbai knew that Liu Zhou and the others were embarrassed by his concubine brother, otherwise no one would dare to touch the people in his yard.

"Chang Le, someone's claws are too long, you might as well chop them off to save trouble." Liu Chuncheng left without saying this.

Liu Mingxi will naturally take care of the affairs of the Liu family. Li Enbai believes in his ability and will not ask for anything.

On the second day, old man Yun accompanied Li Enbai to the county seat. Li Enbai had already registered, this time he only needed to get the sign of the landowner and confirm his [-] acres of land that does not need to pay taxes.

Of his [-] acres of land, [-] acres of them have already been planned, which is the Yun family's land plus his own [-] acres, and the remaining [-] acres will be discussed after he buys a suitable land.

The old man on Luyun looked a little bit uneasy, he seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say it, he was happy and distressed at one moment, very entangled.

If Li Enbai felt it, he asked, "Father, is there anything you want me to do? Just say it."

The old man Yun said no, but others were still entangled, and he couldn't help sighing after a while. Li Enbai guessed that it must be an embarrassing thing, and it was very likely that he wanted to take advantage of him, so the old man Yun was like this. Tangled.

"Father, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it. We are the two of you in the car now, what can you not say?" Li Enbai really treats old man Yun as his own father, and his biggest bond here is Yunli, Therefore, she is willing to treat everyone around Yunli seriously.

"Linfeng, do you know that there is no such thing as offering sacrifices to fields in our village?" The old man Yun sighed, "Our village used to be quite poor, and the land tax is not a small amount, so there has never been a sacrifice to the fields. The output of one mu of our family’s land is allocated as the output of the sacrificial field to the orphans, widows, and elderly people without children to support in the village.”

"But one mu of land is not enough. There are more than 100 households in our village. At least five mu of land is prepared, but the land tax..."

Old man Yun is in trouble here. Five acres of land is convenient, but it’s not suitable for you to put it in anyone’s house. First, you have to pay land tax, and the land tax is also divided. The more land in the family, the more tax. The better the field, the higher the tax.

Besides, the other villagers are also worried about who bought the land and put it there. If the land deed is obtained and they go back on their word, although there are village chiefs and patriarchs and elders watching, who can guarantee that the five acres of top-class land will not be disrespected? tempted?

So this matter has been dragged on like this. At the beginning, old man Yun wholeheartedly funded Chen Yingcai to be a scholar, and he also had plans in this regard. Chen Yingcai accepted his favor, so it was reasonable and reasonable to have five acres of land under his name without paying taxes. But who knew that Chen Yingcai was a white-eyed wolf.

Now it's his son-in-law, he can't open his mouth a little bit, his son-in-law is capable, he helped his family a lot before, and even took advantage of his son-in-law, his old face knows how to be ashamed...

Li Enbai understood, he pondered for a while, "Father, let's discuss this matter when we go back."
