Chapter 9: Filial Piety

After he finished his official business, Lu Hong changed his words.

"I heard Zhang Yi say that you are very interested in that little girl in Mrs. Ye's family?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help blushing, "No, it's just that they are pitiful, so I need to help them."

Lu Hong waved his hand, "In front of me, there is no need to be embarrassed, the daughter of Ye's wife's family is not bad, but she is a little thinner. If you take good care of it, you may be able to take care of it, but there is one thing I have to remind. You, this family has some strange origins."

"The three of them, mother and son, can't even get enough to eat, what's the strange origin?" Gao Yuan asked curiously.

"Well, they are not natives of Fufeng." Lu Hong thought for a while, "It must have been ten years since you came to Fufeng. In fact, there are always some foreigners every year. I didn't pay attention to this, but they live in you. Next door, I paid attention to it, and once I accidentally discovered that the three members of this family are literate and hyphenated, which is weird."

"What's so weird about this?" Gao Yuan couldn't understand.

"You are really confused, reading is a costly thing, and since they came to Fufeng County, they have never invited a husband, so there is only a possibility that this lady of the Ye family is literate. There are very few men who can afford to read. It is strange that a woman can read and hyphenate. So I checked, but I didn’t find the roots of this family, as if they were from the world. It just fell off."

"Maybe they came from far away, and my uncle didn't find out."

"Maybe you have a point, but this lady of the Ye family usually looks no different from ordinary women, but some things that are exposed occasionally make me stunned, Gao Yuan, to tell you the truth, I have seen a lot. There are a lot of noble ladies, but occasionally the demeanor that the lady of the Ye family shows, I am afraid that even our prefect can't show it. Moreover, Ye Jinger's every move, every word and deed, is unusual at first glance, the first year of Zhaoping , A lot of things happened, and many people disappeared overnight, I suspect that they have something to do with those things back then, this is not a trivial matter, you are really interested in that little girl, this section has to be considered."

"What happened in the first year of Zhaoping?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Don't ask about it. In short, the things of the year are not something we little people can ask or talk about. If this family is really related to that incident, I advise you not to provoke them, otherwise you will get into trouble. Don't say it's me, even the prefect can't protect you." Lu Hong said solemnly.

Gao Yuan couldn't help but be startled. "I know uncle. But it's been almost ten years since this happened, and it's not always possible to cause trouble."

Lu Hong looked Gao Yuan up and down, "It seems that you are really attracted to this girl, you just need to know about this matter."

"Thank you uncle for your concern. My nephew has something to ask my uncle. I also ask my uncle to agree."

"Well, what's the matter, tell me!"

"Uncle, Zhang Yi has been with me for so long, and I have used it with ease. There is indeed a lack of a housekeeper in my family. I would like to ask my uncle to give me Zhang Yi."

"What should I be, a servant, if you want, take it."

"It's not just Zhang Yi. I want one!" Gao Yuan said with a shy face. "It's the rough servant girl in the house, called Cui Er."

"You're talking about Zhang Yi's image, okay!" Lu Hong said with a smile, "Okay, if the good things are done to the end, I will give them to you."

"That's great, uncle. I'll send the redemption money for the two of them to the uncle's house."

"What are you talking about, it's just two slaves, what's the money worth? I'll let Lu Bin give you the two men's deeds. From today, the two of them will be yours."

"Thank you, uncle!" After accomplishing another thing, Gao Yuan was overjoyed, Zhang Yi was practical, and Gao Yuan couldn't be separated from him now.

When Gao Yuan left the Lu Mansion, there were two more people behind him. Zhang Yi and Xiang Hao, Cui Er, were both sold as slaves. They were Gao Yuan people, both of them were overjoyed, Gao Yuan looked at that Cui Er, as Zhang Yi said, with big breasts and big butts, she was a good child.

Holding back a smile, he returned home and instructed Zhang Yi and Cui'er to clean up the side room and come out.

"Since the two of you are good friends, there are not so many rules. This house will be your home in the future. Go back and choose an auspicious day, we will put a table in the house, and we will be married for you. In the future, the two of you will be married. Follow me, Zhang Yi will be paid twice a month, Cui Er will always be paid, um, young master, I don’t have much money now, and when I get rich, I will increase my salary, okay?”

Zhang Yi and Cui'er both rolled over and fell to the ground, "Thank you, Young Master, and I will do my best for Young Master in the future."

"Okay, okay, that's it, don't act like a kowtow, follow me, you won't suffer!" Gao Yuan waved his hand and said. "Tui'er clean up first, Zhang Yi, come with me."

Zhang Yi happily followed Gao Yuan out. No matter how small the Gao family is, he is now the housekeeper of a house. No matter how big the Lu family is, he is nothing but a slave. Seeing the big housekeeper again in the future, he doesn’t have to be like before, for fear of offending him. he is.

"Zhang Yi, find me some masons tomorrow."

"Do you want to repair the house, young master? Okay, I'll do it tomorrow."

"What kind of house to build? I want to get a steamer. I drank a so-called good wine at Uncle Lu's house today. It's really hard to drink. I'll get some real wine myself. By the way, don't sell last year's Chenliang. Now, I'm going to bring it to make wine." Gao Yuan said indifferently.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi was stunned when he heard it, and waved his hands again and again: "Young master, you want to make wine, this is impossible."

"Why not?" Gao Yuan was a little puzzled.

"Young master, you can't remember anything. Not everyone can make wine. In Fufeng, only the county magistrate Wu can make wine. If anyone else dares to do this, they will be arrested. of."

"What else is there?" Gao Yuan was stunned, it turned out to be a monopoly. However, he still said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm not doing business, I'm just brewing and drinking by myself, and even giving my uncle a little filial piety, I think Uncle loves to drink, so the magistrate Wu is too boring. The so-called good wine that he gave to his uncle can be eaten there. It's just a little filial piety. Could it be that Mr. Wu came to my house to arrest me, so he would have to dare? I don't want to grab business with him, or he won't even give this face to his uncle."

"It turned out to be brewed for myself, but the young master surprised me!" Zhang Yi patted his chest, "The young master has no idea, there were people who robbed the Wu family for business in the past, and the end was miserable. Now the whole Fufeng , that is, the Wu family runs the wine business."

"Okay, I'll find someone tomorrow. I'm going to take up the post after I'm ready to do this. I'm afraid it will be a troublesome thing. I'm a soldier and get paid. When Gao Yuan thought of this, he became very worried.

"Don't be afraid, young master, in the whole Fufeng, who doesn't know that Lord Lu is the uncle of the young master, and whoever is in the army, dare not sell your face, that is to live crookedly." Zhang Yi didn't care.

"You don't understand." Gao Yuan waved his hand." I have to think of a way to do this. The key is money, and it's easy to do things with money. Forget it, don't think about it for now, Zhang Yi, you go to rest first Let's hurry up with the masons, and tomorrow, we have to make koji first, if we want to make wine, this koji is the key."

"How could you do this, young master? I know that wine koji is the key to making good wine. Only the people in the Wu family know how to make wine koji. How can the young master do it?" Zhang Yi asked curiously.

Gao Yuan smiled mysteriously, "Master, I was born to know it, do you understand?"
