There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 467 (Second update)
That period of the past is the scar in every Song people's heart.

"Let's talk about the next thing, Brother Luo Cheng." Li Jiaoniang said.

"Okay." Luo Cheng nodded, and then he introduced Zhao Shicheng, "Today, there is also Zhao Shicheng, Cheng Enbo from Lin'an City."

Everyone greeted again.

Luo Cheng said again, "The two of them will come to live in the village for a short time in the future, so don't neglect them."

"Yes, Dong Luo's family!"

"Okay, it's getting late today, so let's just meet up. Tomorrow morning at [-]:[-] am, I'll still come here to discuss matters in the village." Luo Cheng said.

"Yes, Dong Luo's family."

Li Jiaoniang ordered Ximei and the other two cooks to cook some food.

"Let's make some noodle soup, eat it warm." Li Jiaoniang said.

Ximei agreed and left with the other two cooks.

After the meeting, everyone greeted Zhao Cong, and Hu Laoqi flew to Ximen excitedly to say goodbye, and everyone dispersed in twos and threes.

In Jufu Hall, it became quiet again.

Li Jiaoniang said, "Mr. Ximen, there are only these people in the village at present, but the manager of the village is Mr. Hu Laoqi who talked to Mr. just now, and he is gathering people everywhere."

Ximen Fei narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where does that person live?"

"Live in the village." Li Jiaoniang said.

"No, I'm asking, where did he live before?" Ximen Fei asked again.

"He is from a nearby village. It was a coincidence. He was defeated by the King of Pu'an County, and he was willing to be my subordinate. The King won this Zhuangzi, so I asked him to be in charge, because he is from a village near this Zhuangzi. , familiar with the place." Li Jiaoniang said.

Ximen Fei narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips tightly, and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.

He has always had a weird temper, so Li Jiaoniang didn't question him anymore.

……

Luo Cheng ordered Juan to fetch hot water for everyone to wash their hands and faces.

Pack it up, Ximei and the others came with supper.

One bowl of beef offal noodle soup per person.

The fragrance of beef soup filled the entire meeting hall in an instant.

Ximen Fei's sad mood was instantly chased away by the delicious food.

Reluctant to hunt wild game, Ximen Fei, who has been a vegetarian for many years on the mountain, stared at the bowl of beef soup, his eyes almost popping out.

He was not polite anymore, grabbed the chopsticks, took a bowl by himself first, and started to eat.

Zhao Cong was an honest boy. He asked Ximen Fei, "Mr. Ximen, don't you not eat beasts? Why do you eat beef?"

Ximen Fei yelled vaguely as he bit the beef, "Cows are not beasts. Cows plow the fields."

"Beasts that plow the fields are also beasts!" Zhao Cong argued.

Ximen Fei, "..." What an unlovable child!

Zhao Shicheng was worried that Zhao Cong would offend Ximen Fei, so he ran away the Ximen Fei who had finally hired him, and immediately stepped forward to pull Zhao Cong away, "Hurry up, didn't you see that your mother has finished eating? As soon as she and your father finished eating, Someone will come to collect the bowl, and the beef noodle soup in your bowl will have to be thrown away.”

That can't be done!

Thinking of the seriousness of the problem, Zhao Cong didn't dare to talk nonsense immediately, and sat back in his chair honestly.

He's still hungry, the beef soup has been poured out, so he won't be hungry until tomorrow?
……

After everyone finished supper, Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng took Ximen Fei and Zhao Shicheng to the guest room in the villa.

That is the courtyard where Hu Laoqi lives, and there are five rooms in it.

Hu Laoqi occupied one room alone, leaving the other four rooms empty.

When Li Jiaoniang, Luo Cheng and the others walked into the courtyard, Hu Laoqi immediately walked out of the room, and said with a smile, "I just cleaned up the other four vacant rooms, Mr. Ximen, Cheng Enbo, please go in and have a look. If you need to add anything, just let me know, and I will arrange for people to prepare it immediately.”

Zhao Tong smiled and said, "I'm going to take a look at the new residence."

Joyfully, he ran into several rooms with open doors to look. Juan got to know him well and followed suit.

After a while, the two ran out.

Zhao Tong said to Zhao Shicheng, "My lord, the room is very tidy and has everything you need. It is similar to the room in Jishan Academy where we live. The room on the far side has a bed and a couch. Shall we live in that room? I sleep on the couch, Your Majesty sleeps on a big bed."

It's just a temporary stay, as long as there is no shortage of things, Zhao Shicheng doesn't pick.

He nodded, "Okay, stay in that room."

"There is a stove and firewood in the house. I'll go make a charcoal fire." Zhao Tong rushed in again excitedly.

"I'm alone, whichever one you want." Ximen Fei hugged the fox and walked into the room next to Zhao Shicheng.

"I'll go and light the charcoal fire." Hu Laoqi said with a smile, and followed into the house.

Li Jiaoniang then instructed her young apprentice, Hu An, "Go and tell Aunt Ximei to ask the kitchen to boil more hot water and bring it here so that the two guests can bathe and change their clothes."

"Understood, Master." Hu An replied.

……

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng went to their residence in the village.

As the steward of the village, Hu Laoqi arranged for Zhao Shicheng and Ximen Fei's daily life.

Zhao Shicheng had a book boy who ran errands, and he was a careful person, so there were a lot of daily necessities in the carriage.

Such as books, such as changing clothes and shoes and socks, such as toothbrushes made of willow branches, cloth towels for washing face, copper basin for washing face, tall wooden basin for washing feet, and soap mud blocks for bathing.

Hu Laoqi didn't worry about him anymore, so he settled down with the careless Ximen Fei.

Ximen Fei brought nothing but two foxes and a basket of food. His feet were still bare and he didn't even wear socks.

Hu Laoqi reluctantly gave up his love, and gave Ximen Fei a set of new clothes and a new willow toothbrush.

Juan brought the cook to fetch hot water, Ximenfei took a bath and cleaned up, and sat by the stove with his sleeves folded to warm up.

He raised his eyebrows and complained to Hu Laoqi, "You have served me so well, I don't even want to go back to the wooden house on the mountain."

Hu Laoqi smiled and said, "It's just right if you don't go back. Mister should stay here. There are many people and lively here. Mrs. Li and Dong Luo's family are kind-hearted. They must be very happy to know that Mister is staying."

Ximen Fei looked at Hu Laoqi, "Do you still remember what Jingzhao said?"

Hu Laoqi was taken aback, what did Jing Zhao say?The dialect of the lost homeland?

Ximen Fei sneered, "You have been in Yuezhou for 20 years, and now you speak in a Yuezhou dialect. I'm afraid you have forgotten how to say Jingzhao dialect?"

Hu Laoqi lowered his head in shame, and only said a few short Jingzhao words, "Sir, I am ashamed, I have been away from home for many years, and I live with people from Yuezhou...so..."

When he followed the refugees from the North, when he fled to the outskirts of Yuezhou, he spoke with a pure northern accent, and this is the south.

Because of the difficulty in communication, they are regarded as villains by the locals, and they are not allowed to live near them.

As a last resort, they learned the local dialect and were able to communicate with the locals smoothly, and the local talents accepted them.

Because I haven't heard the accent for many years, and because I was young back then, I forgot a lot.

Ximen Fei laughed mockingly, "Hmph, I know you've forgotten a lot." He rolled up his sleeves and stood up, "I remember that those who fled from the north fled south one by one, and joined you What about the refugees? Where do they live?"

Mentioning fellow villagers, Hu Laoqi immediately regained his spirits.

He smiled and said, "Sir, in the villages near this village, there are many people who fled from the Jingzhao area."

Ximen Fei sneered, "Since they are all from the same hometown back then, why can't you find someone? Trash!"

Hu Laoqi sighed, "Sir, I don't have enough prestige. I can still say a few words in Hujia Village, but when I go to other villages, people ignore me at all.

There are few people in Hujia Village, and there are not many young and middle-aged people. Most of them can't come because of family affairs, so they can't find anyone. "

Ximenfei sneered, "Go to some villages tomorrow and tell those people from the north that I, Ximenfei, are recruiting people. If there are several sons in the family, but none of them come, be careful that I come to rob people !

This is because you are used to living in the gentle village, don't you remember the shame of your hometown?When offering sacrifices, have you forgotten where the ancestral graves are buried? "

He spoke with righteous indignation.

Hu Laoqi immediately said, "Sir, I will go to the villages to find people tomorrow morning!"

……

The houses in Zhuangzi are not like the houses in Yuezhou City, which are built with two floors because of the small area. The houses in the village are all one-story.

It is convenient to make a kang.

Luo Cheng was afraid that Li Jiaoniang would be cold, so he asked Ah Sheng to bring people to build a kang in Li Jiaoniang's room.

At this time, the kang in the house was born, and the house was warm.

Li Jiaoniang was only wearing jackets, sitting under the lamp flipping through the account books of the village.

The ledger book was made by Hu Laoqi. Unexpectedly, he is a rough man and his handwriting is not neat, but he did a good job in the ledger.

A sum of expenses, a sum of income, written clearly and in detail.

She smiled and said to Luo Cheng, "I don't have to worry too much if Hu Laoqi is watching Zhuangzi."
