Chapter 185: Refusal to Accept Apprentices
"Okay, don't argue anymore, Yu Niang, Yue Feng was forced to come over by Guan Lei, and Guan Lei didn't understand the rules of the inner and outer houses. Don't blame them anymore. You can teach him well another day. Rules," Yang Ning finally said.
"Yes," Han Yuniang agreed, but then gave Yue Feng and Guan Lei a fierce look.
"Yue Feng, Guan Lei, you two come here. This is Sister Shui Ling that I told you. Come and meet her. From now on, you must respect her as much as you respect me. Do you understand?" Yang Ning said to Yue Feng and Guan Lei before. They had both mentioned Shui Ling, and they both knew that the relationship between Shui Ling and Yang Ning was extraordinary.
"Brother Yue Feng, I have met Sister Ling'er," Yue Feng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed politely.
"Ling'er, Yue Feng came to join me when I went to the grassland. He also fled to the capital due to the Yellow River flood. Now his parents and relatives are gone, and he is an orphan like us," Yang Ning introduced to Shuiling.
When Shui Ling heard that Yue Feng was also fleeing a flood in the Yellow River, Shui Ling felt particularly close to him and hurriedly asked Yue Feng to forgive him.
Guan Lei became anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly jumped forward, followed Yue Feng's example and saluted Shui Ling and said: "Sister Ling'er, there is me, Guan Lei, too."
Seeing this black boy who was as strong as a calf jumping forward suddenly, Shui Ling was frightened. Yang Ning laughed and scolded: "You black boy, you can't behave yourself," and then said to Shui Ling. : "Ling'er, this black boy is the friend of the 'King of Ten Thousand Horses' on the grassland, Guan Lei, whom I mentioned to you before."
Shui Ling smiled and said, "I've guessed it a long time ago. Brother Guan Lei, I also want to thank you for saving Brother Ning's life."
Guan Lei scratched his head and said: "Sister Ling'er came to thank me no matter what. In fact, the young master was saved by 'Ben Lei', not me, Guan Lei."
"If it weren't for the godly horse 'Ben Lei' looking out for your face, how could he have led ten thousand horses to save Brother Ning, so I still want to thank you," Shui Ling said seriously.
"Haha, okay, from now on we are all our own people, there is no need to be so polite. It's almost noon, Yu Niang, please go and inform your father and ask him to send someone to book two tables at the 'Tian Tian Ju' in front of you. At the banquet, let’s all welcome your sister Linger’s arrival. At the same time, let the new maids sit at the table and experience it. Don’t let them think that my new master is a mean master as soon as they arrive. ,"
Han Yuniang agreed, turned to leave, and glared at Yue Feng and Guan Lei before leaving. Yue Feng immediately resigned from Yang Ning, and even dragged the reluctant Guan Lei away.
Sisters Tingxue and Tingyu obediently went to clean up the house for Shuiling, while Yang Ning had a conversation with Shuiling. After about half an hour, Han Yuniang sent a little maid in the front yard to invite her, saying that Natural Residence The table has been delivered.
Yang Ning led Shui Ling, followed by Tingxue and Ting Yu, and came to the front yard to sit down. Yang Ning, Shui Ling, Han Shanlin and his daughter, Yue Feng, and Guan Lei sat at the same table. Another group of new palace maids came from Chen Xiang led them to sit at a table. At first, the palace maids were a little reserved, but after Yang Ning greeted them several times, everyone gradually relaxed. Except for Chen Xiang, who still had a calm look on his face, everyone else was very happy. , enjoying the delicious food naturally in front of them. Although they grew up in the palace, they could not easily eat the delicious food on the table.
Tasting the delicacies of Tianju, Yang Ning couldn't help but think of his charming female shopkeeper, Lan Feifeng. She turned to Han Shanlin and asked Han Shanlin about the business situation of Tianju during this period, and learned that his business was even more prosperous. , there were few people who dared to cause trouble, so Yang Ning felt relieved. It seemed that Zhang Juzheng had really managed to "take care of" this natural place.
Taking advantage of the meal, Han Shanlin reported to Yang Ning the people who would be taken to Tangshan Palace in Changping. Apart from Han Shanlin himself, they were just the young servants he had bought before and fled to the capital. Although there were a few smart ones. , but dealing with the matter of accepting Huangzhuang is inevitably immature, and Yang Ning himself can't live without it now, so he had to tell Han Shanlin a few words he could think of, asking him to pay attention to whether any of the original personnel in Huangzhuang were available. No matter what, let’s take the imperial village first and then talk about it. For these ten thousand acres of fertile land, we only collect rent every year, but it is still a huge income.
After dinner, Yang Ning went to the back house to stay with Shui Ling for a while. Later, when he saw that she was tired, he asked her to have a good rest. After coming out, Yang Ning discussed with Han Shanlin and Chen Xiang how to take over the palace. Regarding future management and other matters, Yang Ning found that although Chen Xiang didn't talk much, he was very familiar with managing housework and could always talk to the point. This made Han Shanlin very happy. Finally, the right person has been found to fill the position.
After the discussion, Yang Ning changed into ordinary clothes and immediately led Yue Feng and Guan Lei out, while Han Shanlin continued to be busy handing over "work" to Chenxiang.
After having dinner in the morning, Yue Feng took Guan Lei to visit Qipan Street. At this moment, Guan Lei obviously didn't visit enough. He was still full of novelties about everything. The prosperity of this most prosperous place in the capital made him dazzled and excited.
When passing by the wide crossroads in front of Tiantianju, Yang Ning saw from a distance the busy traffic in front of Tiantianju, and the waiter at the shop was welcoming him to her. She couldn't help but secretly feel happy for the widow she recognized as her "godsister": It seemed that... The business of this natural home is indeed more prosperous than before.
Yang Ning led Yue Feng and Guan Lei, carrying a jar of imperial tribute wine that they had ordered from Princess Yongning yesterday, and first went to the famous "Xunfeng Pavilion" in Fuxian South Street, Beijing, and cut two kilograms of the special features of "Xunfeng Pavilion" The famous food is smoked pig head meat. The pig head meat smoked by "Xunfeng Pavilion" is fat but not greasy and fragrant in the mouth. It is a unique specialty in the capital and one of the favorites of Monk Kong Lao. Then the three of them went on to I went to the temple market in front of Longfu Temple and bought a lot of braised meat to eat, then bypassed Longfu Temple and came to the back door of Monk Kong Kong's vegetable garden.
The broken Taoist temple behind Longfu Temple is still dilapidated. Seeing this broken Taoist temple, Yang Ning couldn't help but think of the time when he and Shui Ling lived here in poverty. Now, times have changed, and in the blink of an eye, he has become the Supervisor of Ceremonies. The great eunuch Bingbi, this change of opportunity has to make people secretly feel a little emotional.
When Guan Lei saw that Yang Ning remained silent and stared at a dilapidated Taoist temple, Guan Lei couldn't help but wanted to ask, but was stopped by Yue Feng's glare.
"Let's go in," Yang Ning sighed for a while, then said, then stepped open the wooden door and entered the vegetable garden, followed by Yue Feng and Guan Lei carrying wine and meat.
The vegetable garden is no longer full of fruits and vegetables in autumn. It is now deserted and covered with snow that has not yet melted, and it is completely white.
"Old monk, my old friend is here to visit, why don't you come out to greet him quickly," Yang Ning shouted to the Zhaishe where Kong lived.
"Haha, you brat has no conscience. He arrived in the capital yesterday, but he just came to see me today." With the loud laughter, Kong Kong's fat body squeezed out of the door, and the old monk's face was rosy. , he looked good, but he looked a bit fatter. Yue Feng and Guan Leixian had never seen such a fat person before. They were immediately shocked by the sky. They stared blankly at the sky, which was as big as a hill. like body.
"Haha, I'm so busy with trivial matters. Please forgive me, old monk. As soon as I have some free time today, won't I come to see you right away?" Yang Ning said as he came closer with a haha.
*Kong glanced at Yue Feng and Guan Lei. When he saw the wine jars and oil paper bags in their hands, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He shrugged his nose vigorously, showing a greedy look. Yue Feng and Guan Lei They looked at each other in surprise, obviously not expecting that this old monk with white hair and beard would show such a "childish" side.
Yang Ning looked amused and said to the sky: "Old monk can't let us freeze outside all the time without inviting us in."
"Oh oh oh, come in quickly, come in quickly," * Kong moved his fat body and let Yang Ning and others into the studio.
The house was kept spotlessly clean, a fire pot was lit, and it was as warm as spring. Tea was boiling on the fire pot. The aroma of tea and the fragrance of Buddha filled the room, which gave it a rather quiet and earthly smell.
This old monk will enjoy it as always, Yang Ning thought.
"Old monk, look what the boy has brought for you," Yang Ning said when he saw Konglao staring at the things in Yue Feng and Guan Lei's hands, and at the same time motioned to the two of them to put the things out.
"A jar of tribute wine to honor you. In addition, there is also the secret smoked pork head meat of 'Xunfeng Pavilion', which is your favorite. There are also several types of braised meat that you usually like to eat. Oh, by the way, there is another one here. The beef jerky I specially brought back from the grassland is chewy and authentic in taste. You can’t buy it in the capital..."
"Haha, you better understand me," following Yang Ning's introduction, * Kong looked excited and sniffed the aroma of the food and wine.
"Old monk, don't worry about the delicious food. Let me introduce you. These two are my little brothers. This one's name is Yue Feng. This one's name is Guan Lei. Yue Feng Guan Lei. Kneel down quickly. Meet Master Kong. He is a wise and eminent monk. Not only is he a profound Buddha, but he is also the best in the world in terms of martial arts."
Yue Feng and Guan Lei's eyes lit up, and they immediately stepped forward to kneel down and bow down to Kong Xing.
"Amitabha, the two little benefactors, please don't listen to Yang Xiaoyou's nonsense. I am so ashamed of myself." As he said this, with a slight flick of his fat sleeves, Yue Feng and Guan Lei felt as if they were being lifted up. They couldn't help but stand still, unable to kneel down anymore. The two of them couldn't help but look at Kong Kong with surprise and joy, and Guan Lei looked at Kong Kong with admiration.
"Old monk, please stop being modest. You definitely deserve the courtesy from both of them. Frankly speaking, besides coming to see you today, there is another thing. That is, I have found two good disciples for you. They are , it is only natural for a disciple to kowtow to his master, why don't you just accept their bows," Yang Ning said to Kong Kong with a smile.
"What, let me accept the two of them as disciples?" *Kong's eyes widened.
Yang Ning nodded, feeling something bad in her heart.
