This woman usually nodded her head as if she was being educated when she was preaching, but once something happened, she immediately broke out. She only saw the good in her eyes, and left everything else behind her head!
"Fangzhou, this is... hehe, you are too out of touch! If there is anything you need to help, just let me know. If I can help, I am a righteous person. Why spend so much money! Your family has to live!" Zhang Lizheng laughed. Gentle, but leaves room for words.
"It's just something embarrassing and I want to ask Uncle Li Zheng and Aunt Niu for help! These things are just borrowing flowers to present Buddha!"
Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "It's like this. A decent friend came to our family. He is the first cousin of my Su family's cousin's husband's family in Shuangliu County, and the son of the Cui family in Dexing. He said he came to see how to grow cotton. How are you preparing for this matter! Because it was late today and I couldn't make it to the road, I could only stay overnight. But Uncle Li Zheng, you also know that our family has such conditions, how can we keep guests? Uncle Li Zheng If there is a spare room at home, can you let Mr. Cui stay for one night? I have no other choice, so I have no choice but to ask Uncle Lizheng... "
"That's right!" Mrs. Niu heard that she wanted to let a stranger live in her home, and it was not enough. Lian Fangzhou said it was "a spare room". I feel a little unhappy.
"You mean Dexing Cui's family? Okay, okay! What's wrong with that!" Zhang Lizheng was stunned for a moment, but he hurriedly said with a smile: "Our house has vacant rooms and new bedding, you, don't worry about receiving the Cui Come, young master! Otherwise, it’s the same if I go to pick him up!”
"Don't bother Li Zhengshu to pick him up. I'll ask Ah Jian and A Ze to send his master and servant over! Thank you Li Zheng Uncle, I'll go back now!" Lian Fangzhou had expected that Li Zheng would agree .
"Okay, okay! Then you go first! My place, hehe, I have to clean up first!" Zhang Lizheng rubbed his hands, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Then Uncle Lizheng is busy first, I'm going!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and got up.
As soon as Lian Fangzhou left, Zhang Lizheng glared at Niu and hurriedly ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up, clean up the east wing quickly, and ask your daughter-in-law to help you tidy it up. It must be clean and dust-free. No! There is also bedding, let the daughter-in-law take out the new quilts and mattresses they made after they got married and put them on, and then burn a prosperous brazier and put them in, no, there are two! Move quickly, go!"
After Zhang Lizheng finished giving orders, seeing Niu's eyes wide open and standing there in a daze, he frowned and shouted, "Didn't you hear what I said? Hurry up!"
"Master, this, you are bewitched! Even my father and mother have never seen such a battle, this is someone else's friend!" Niu muttered dissatisfiedly: "Just to get her If the gift is flattered like this, it's not a loss!"
"What do you know!" Zhang Lizheng said angrily, "What a woman is short-sighted, ignorant, ignorant! Didn't you hear what Fangzhou said? That's the son of the Dexing Cui family! Do you know the Dexing Cui family? Yes We are the most powerful family in the Southwest! It is a great honor for us to have his young master come to our house for one night, understand!"
"Oh..." Mrs. Niu was moved by her husband's No. 1 wealthy family, and couldn't help but said again: "Then the Cui family is so powerful, how can there be relatives like the Lian family? Don't tell me Fangzhou is lying!"
"Hmph!" Zhang Lizheng flicked his sleeves, and said with contempt on his face: "So you are an ignorant woman! How many poor relatives does the emperor have, let alone others? Didn't you hear what Fangzhou said? The Cui family is related to the Su family in Shuangliu County , it is because of this relationship!"
He was really impatient to explain to Niu, because he couldn't understand what he explained, so he thought for a while and said, "Have you seen the snacks and tea from Fangzhou? Just this silver tea pot is worth it." How much? The son of a rich family is the most generous, he won’t live in our house for nothing, he will definitely be rewarded with money! But you can save me some face, don’t ask others, just wait and see!”
As expected, Niu's eyes lit up, and he said pleasantly, "There will really be a silver reward? Are you sure?"
"Sure! Let's go!" Zhang Lizheng said.
"Hey! Let's go, let's go!" Hearing this, Niu hurriedly turned around to get the broom, calling for his daughter-in-law loudly.
Zhang Lizheng couldn't help but shouted loudly again: "Do as I told you just now, don't make up your own mind for me!"
After thinking about it, he shook his head with an "ah", and murmured, "I'd better keep an eye on it myself!" Then he went too.
Lian Fangzhou told Cui Shaoxi to stay at Lizheng's house for one night, but Cui Shaoxi was not happy at first, and insisted on staying.
In the end, Lian Fangzhou was a little annoyed, and Cui Shaoxi reluctantly agreed.
Lian Ze and Ah Jian sent him there.
Cui Yi hurriedly took off the two big bundles from the carriage and asked Ah Jian and Lian Ze to help carry them, and rolled out the thick cashmere embroidered felt blanket that the young master had covered when he was taking a nap, and then went to Zhang Lizheng's house.
There were actually two large lanterns hung in front of Zhang Lizheng's house and on the porch in the courtyard, making the hall very bright in the dark night.
Obviously, it was to welcome Cui Shaoxi.
Seeing people coming, Zhang Lizheng and his son hurried forward with a smile and bowed their hands to say hello. If Lian Fangzhou was here, he would know that Zhang Lizheng even changed his clothes.
Cui Shaoxi had no airs at all, seeing that Zhang Lizheng and his son were polite, he returned the gift with a smile.
Niu and his daughter-in-law, who were holding the child, also poked their heads out of the room curiously, and saw Cui Shaoxi's elegant appearance through the light, and stayed there for a while.
Niu sighed in admiration: "It's strange that the head of the family is talking about the number one wealthy family in the Southwest. Look at his style, tsk tsk, really! Sigh, our house is too simple, so don't blame it..."
Niu, who was originally reluctant and felt that the other party was taking advantage of him, completely changed his tone at this time.
"Master Cui, please sit in the room and have a cup of tea!" Zhang Lizheng said with a smile.
It doesn't look good to borrow someone's house not to sit in the main room, so Cui Shaoxi smiled and said "booze" and followed Zhang Lizheng.
Zhang Li was busy calling Niu to make tea again.
Cui Shaoxi took the tea and took a few sips before putting it down.
Zhang Lizheng was so excited that he didn't know how to flatter Cui Shaoxi. Cui Shaoxi was used to others treating him like this, so he reacted lightly.
After a while, Ah Jian and Lian Ze got up to leave, and Cui Shaoxi also got up and said with a smile that it was too late to go to rest.
Zhang Lizheng hurriedly led Cui Shaoxi's master and servant to the wing with his son, and naturally said many good things with him along the way.
After Cui Shaoxi was settled, Zhang Lizheng and his son said goodbye with a sense of humor, and smiled courteously and politely: "The house is simple, Mr. Cui, please take care of me! If you need anything, just ask!"
Cui Shaoxi thanked them with a smile, watched the two of them leave, and ordered Cui Yi to close the door.
