Children don’t understand adult matters;

Outsiders don’t understand the affairs of husband and wife.

The nine-day legal wedding holiday allowed Fan Zheng to sort out his thoughts carefully. Then, the father and son squatted on the porch and sighed to each other.

After returning home for three dynasties, it is now clear what kind of virtue his wife is.

I have a good capacity for drinking, but I don’t drink it often and I don’t feel addicted to it.

He has a good temper, is easy-going, a bit too lively, and is quite smart.

Getting along with my aunt is particularly good, at least everyone can get along and not get sulky.

But what should we do in a house where two generations of women don’t know how to cook?

Every family has its cupboard!

Fan Zheng has to sit in the office every day, and Fan Laoshi also needs to spend more time at Fan's woodware workshop. What should we do with the two women at home who can kill people if they put some salt in them?

What a pity that pot of winter melon soup turned out to be pieces of winter melon floating in the sea, and had to be rescued by a fence.

What a sin!

Why didn't Wu Shi ask him if he knew how to cook?

Of course, this was the result after asking. Fan Zheng couldn't possibly stop marrying Du Shengxia just because she didn't know how to cook.

"Recruit a cook." Fan Zheng stood up and stretched his body. "According to the regulations, I can recruit three common servants. Isn't there still a quota? Anyway, no one said that common servants must not be cooks.

mother."

Fan Laoshi pinched his fingers and eliminated people one by one who could be cooks in Dunhuafang.

Aunt Fan has to rule it out first. She is good at cooking and has a rich family, so why should she be your servant?

"Wait a minute, you said that being a common servant means you are exempt from corvee? Have you forgotten that taxes and servants are all paid in ding, and cooks don't need this as far as they are concerned, right?"

Fan Laoshi was too honest, so he took advantage of this to compete with Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng laughed: "She doesn't need it, but the men in her family don't need it? Even a widow can sell her quota of exemption from corvee."

Fan Laoshi has never seen those overtime notes sold in later generations that cannot be redeemed, and they can be as cheap as ten yuan a day!

After hesitating for a long time, Fan Laoshi finally said: "The number one candidate in the workshop is Ku Zhenzhen, but..."

Ku Zhenzhen is a divorcee, not a widow, but a single woman still has a lot of troubles. Tie Dazhuang, that licking dog, always wants to be the taker.

Please ask Ku Zhenzhen to be the cook, because Ku Zhenzhen is much older than Fan Zheng, and Fan Laoshi has a good reputation. It is not easy to catch fire in the backyard, but it is easy for those long-tongued women to chew their tongues.

Well, this should give Lu Jiasheng a warning. If anyone chews his tongue, the benefits of in-house medical treatment, children's education, and condolences for widows and widowers will be gradually reduced. Let's see if this river can be blocked.

The problem lies in the existence of the Lelin family, which is a very disgusting thing.

They don't make any fuss, even if they show up in front of Ku Zhenzhen every three days and don't say anything, what can you do?

Fan Zheng called Lu Jiasheng and whispered a few words in his ear to finish.

Ku Zhenzhen looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief and said in a low voice: "My filial piety has not yet been removed, and I'm afraid it won't be appropriate for your family to have a new happy event."

This is a reason that Fan Zheng didn't expect.

Fan Zheng turned around to discuss with Fan Laoshi, Yuan Luan, and Du Shengxia. Unexpectedly, no one cared about this matter.

In other words, even if you care a little, if you don't know how to cook, you can only quickly abandon the distracting thoughts.

Oops, cooking something is much more difficult than wine tasting (fighting)!

You want to say that the bondage that the servants are exempted from is not as good as what Ku Zhenzhen earns from working in the Xiangfang. Don’t forget that Fan Zheng has 7,500 servant money supplied by the court. If he divides it into three parts, everyone can have it.

Two thousand five hundred taels, and if you exchange it for free from corvee, it will be at least 6,000 taels of cash.

Ku Zhenzhen lives in Xiangfang and earns fifteen cents a day, which is about 5,400 yuan.

There are only a few people in Fan's family, so it's much easier to prepare his family's meals.

The work in Xiangfang doesn't look heavy, but it can be tiring even if it lasts for a long time.

Even if the meal prepared by Ku Zhenzhen is slightly different from that of Aunt Fan, people who are not very picky will not be able to eat it.

She also knows some Tanzhou dishes, such as goose neck meatballs (egg roll meat), fake mutton made with pork and cornstarch (gordon), glutinous rice and pork meatballs, and braised pork with pickles, which are mouth-watering.

Not to mention cassava, in America, mung bean flour and lotus root starch are also good starches.

The fearful Lelin family never appeared in front of Ku Zhenzhen again.

The reason is very simple. Fan Zheng asked Lu Jiasheng to reveal, intentionally or unintentionally, that Lexi was working as a servant for a certain nobleman. That nobleman might not be appropriate. Of course, the worried Lelin family had no intention of causing trouble.

Rumors are a thing, and naming them by name is a waste of time. Plausibility is the truth.

Then when you investigate, hey, it turns out they were talking about the wheel, and you were taken to the ditch.

It's a little immoral, but it's also a helpless move.

Perhaps because she felt that the money was too light, Ku Zhenzhen helped the two wives clean up the housework from time to time, and the Fan family house became much cleaner.

…

Nine days passed, and the supervisory censor was called out of his warm bed early.

The person who called him has become Du Shengxia.

Fan Zheng could only put it on half asleep, get on the donkey, and accept the greetings of the cold wind in the early winter morning.

Holding the small hand stove in my arms, the slowly burning charcoal drove away some of the warmth.

Colleagues in the office congratulated Fan Zheng one after another, and all of them were extremely friendly.

However, Fan Zheng had already made a clear distinction between distant and distant relatives on the day of their wedding.

It’s not about “fate”, but about attitude.

Even Liu Shu and Hua Ming only accepted twenty articles. Didn't Fan Zheng still accept it?

You know, people who are officials have a magical skill. They may not remember who gave a gift, but they will definitely remember who didn't.

It's not just for the sake of aduwu, sometimes the courtesy also represents an attitude.

Therefore, Li Yifu felt that it was a joke that Fan Zheng was accepted by other supervisory censors.

Deep down, colleagues who came from a privileged background looked down on the utilitarian Li Yifu, and they also looked down on Fan Zheng, who came from a humble background.

Therefore, even if it meant sending a servant to Dunhuafang to attend the ceremony, they were unwilling to do it.

Li Yifu had a smile on his lips and daggers in his eyes. One look made Fan Zheng understand. When these colleagues saw Fan Zheng's performance in the exam, they became jealous and wanted to dig a hole for Fan Zheng.

The chief censor, Liu Fan, went to the Governor's Office in Shanzhou to review the merits and verify the truth. At this time, the second-in-command, Kan Ting, was responsible for overall arrangements.

Kan Ting, who seemed kind-hearted, opened his mouth to reveal a big hole: "Yu Shi Fan Zheng is a young and promising person. It just so happens that there is an envoy to judge merit and truth here. It is not far away. The guard of Baowen Mountain in Guazhou came to report some time ago and killed him.

There are three hundred heads of Xue Yantuo, would you like to go and have a look?"

Li Yifu blinked his eyes crazily.

Good guy, it’s not that far, only three thousand three hundred and ten miles!

If Fan Zheng was not familiar with geography and fell into this evil trap, he would not be able to come back before Yuan Day!

The key is, Fan Zheng just left Yanzhou and Bizhou, so why should he go to Guazhou to eat sand?

Is it because of the pitiful amount of spring water from my parents-in-law?

Thank you Qiu Shui Liang San Shan for the reward. I wish you are as strong as a mountain and have Qiu Shui by your side!
