148.Assassination (4)
When the grandmother heard this, she still looked like she was not smiling, and only said: "Okay, the old woman still knows the melons and fruits of your Dong Ji."
After that, he looked at the drama of the person carrying the burden, frowned, and asked: "Who is this, the face is very raw, how can it not be the last time?"
Zhang Wuyi looked at it, and said in his heart that this grandma is really careful, don't look at the usual days as if she doesn't know them, but this guy who comes to Dong Ji once or twice a month, she remembers it, and her heart is clear.
Zhang Wu didn't dare to delay, pointed to the drama and said: "Grandma, this is the descendant of our shopkeeper, named Chen Rong, to be a helper."
When the old woman looked at it, she didn't say much, but the corners of her eyes seemed to be a little unhappy, her eyebrows furrowed, but she didn't say anything, she turned around and said, "Come in, follow the old woman, don't walk around."
The two of them hurriedly followed, as soon as they entered, it was a vestibule compound, this Wei Chi Mansion was a three-entry courtyard, but the courtyard behind it was not something they could enter, as soon as they entered the door, they followed the old woman to turn right and walk towards the east kitchen, the kitchen of the rich and noble people is generally in the east of the house, which is also the origin of the word east kitchen.
The drama didn't notice the old woman's unhappy look, but Zhang Wu saw it, he was also a human spirit, knowing that this grandma thought that the drama was a lazy man who went through the back door, relied on relatives, and ate rice, Zhang Wu was not worried, because his eldest brother Chen was not only a relative of the shopkeeper, but also an old acquaintance of General Wei Chi.
All the way, the old woman, as well as a maid, and the drama Rong, Zhang Wusi and the others were speechless, the two of them just lowered their heads and followed, but the drama was blind all the way, and he was excited because he didn't see any guards, only a few servants coming and going.
In fact, this is also Wei Chigong's habit, a huge three-entry courtyard, but there are not many people, in addition to his family, it is the old housekeeper, the old woman in the east kitchen, and more than ten servants and maids, that is, more than ten guards, but the guards are in the middle courtyard, guarding the safety of the backyard room, but the drama is not seen.
Wei Chi Lao Hei is a big old man, and he doesn't like to serve before and after many servants, and his wife is also a quiet and gentle character, so the mansion is a little deserted, compared to the hundreds of servants of other noble families, the thirty or forty people in Wei Chi's mansion are really very few. As for the guards, there are only more than ten personal guards left by Wei Chigong at home, as for why there are only a dozen people, instead of hundreds of people like Qin Wangfu, this is definitely not as good as the regulation of Wei Chi Mansion, and the second is that Yu Chi Gong is proud of himself as a peerless general, and his own martial arts are outstanding, who can be presumptuous in his mansion.
followed all the way, the old woman didn't speak, and the sturdy maid also bowed her head and didn't speak, it was really rigorous and serious.
Turning around a cloister, the kitchen was located, and there were three or five servants each doing some chores, and when they saw the old woman coming, they all saluted.
The old woman then turned around and said, "Put all the melons and fruits on this." He pointed to a board.
After hearing this, the drama quickly put down the burden, and then ...... He stood still, thinking that someone had come to fetch the melons and fruits.
But he never thought about it, he was waiting for him, Zhang Wu saw the opportunity, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Come, Brother Chen, take out the melons and fruits." After that, he inadvertently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and came up to get something as soon as he lifted his sleeve.
First of all, the hardcover protective packaging of the Western Regions red grapes, but some crisp pears, melons, bayberry, loquat and a few kinds of melons and fruits, one by one taken out and placed on the board.
The old woman approached to take a closer look, checked it over and over again, and nodded, this Dong Ji's melons and fruits are really good, they are all of the best quality, and they are all fresh, and they are different from those crooked melons and cracked dates in other shops.
He nodded and praised: "Well, it is indeed the best grade, very good." This is the silver coin this time, a total of four times." As he spoke, he took out four taels of silver from the money bag and gave it to Zhang Wu, who quickly took it.
I only asked the old woman to take out more than a dozen big coins from her cuffs, and said: "Your melons and fruits are very good, and they were sent early in the morning, and they have worked hard, this is the reward given by the lady." Zhang Wu happily stepped forward to take it, and kept thanking: "Thank you for the reward, thank you for your care."
"Well, you guys go, Xiaolian, and lead them out of the house." After that, the servant woman was the answer, and came over and said, "Come here."
Zhang Wu also looked at the drama when he heard it, but he knew that there was something wrong with the drama.
The drama was also quite nervous at this time, so he had to follow along, but when he was about to leave the east kitchen door, he stopped moving, suddenly covered his stomach, his face turned red, and he seemed to be in pain, and there was a trace of fine sweat on his forehead.
This scene made everyone at a loss, and Zhang Wu also hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you."
The old woman looked at it and frowned, this ...... But after all, I am in charge of things here, so I can't ignore it, so I have to ask: "You are in this posterity, but is it in the way?"
The face of the drama was painful, and the forehead was covered with fine sweat, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Ah, grandma, the kid's stomach pain is unbearable, can you borrow the ground to go to the toilet." After that, he covered his stomach again, and a cold sweat broke out.
When the old woman and the other people in the east kitchen heard this, their faces changed, and then the old woman's unsmiling face was even more unhappy, hmph, and she didn't look at what kind of place this was.
The excuse of the drama is indeed embarrassing enough, in the kitchen where people cook, you say that you want to have diarrhea and go to the toilet, but the key is that in the noble family, you are just a lowly servant-like character. It's rude and offensive.
The old woman snorted coldly, and was about to make a sound, but at this time, a majestic male voice sounded, and the entire East Kitchen heard it.
"Huh? What's going on? ”
The old woman listened, and hurriedly took a look, it turned out to be a seven-foot-tall black-faced man standing at the door with his hands behind his back.
The old woman and a group of subordinates hurriedly saluted, "I have seen the master".
They can call it a master, then...... That can only be Wei Chigong.
The two of them were stunned, and the drama was even more nervous, but at this time, the target was to settle down in a few breaths, and there was still a good psychological quality. Zhang Wu was overjoyed, this time Brother Chen didn't have to go to General Wei Chi, this time he should have met, but for now, he still had a salute, so he hurriedly bent down to salute, and the drama also followed closely.
Wei Chigong also noticed these two unknown foreign men, especially the heroic man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, which attracted his attention, he originally liked such heroes, and he was also quite curious at this time.
He said, "Well, the two of you are polite, I don't know who the two are?"
It made Zhang Wu even more curious, what was going on? Ah, didn't Brother Chen come to find General Wei Chi's door, didn't he know General Wei Chi, why is this like this now, it seems to be ...... It seems that they don't know each other, how can this be...... Zhang Wu also short-circuited.
