[043] Di Fu's new servant (intensive revision)
Seeing the atmosphere of Di Mansion, I thought it would be a good place for my second brother to be the deputy housekeeper in this mansion. Just looking at the grandeur of this mansion, it is indeed a place where money and power gather.
Ouyang Yu stepped forward and was about to ask the gatekeeper if he could make an announcement.
"Who are you?!" A fat servant on the left side of the door stepped forward and asked sharply.
Ouyang Yu thought to himself, can't you lower your voice? Grandpa is not deaf. He immediately thought that his second brother was working here and it was not convenient for him to cause trouble. He was afraid of affecting his second brother, so he endured his anger and replied: "I'll come and find him."
Relative, he is working in your mansion."
When the fat servant heard that he was visiting relatives, he crossed his arms and sneered. He turned back to look at the tall and thin servant on the right side of the door and said, "Monkey, here comes another one!"
The servant named "Monkey" didn't even look at Ouyang Yu and said with a smile: "Hey, Fat Mountain, there's nothing you can do about it. Who makes our Di family rich? It's just a climb in the door. There are always things like this every day."
A few blind people came here pretending to be relatives, and they didn't feel tired."
"Who says it's not, but it's really not good if there are no such people. You and I are guarding this gate every day, without the fun they come from. Do you think this is the case?" The person named "Fat Mountain"
They looked serious, as if they had encountered something happy, and they talked to each other, not paying attention to Ouyang Yu, a living person.
It's okay that Ouyang Yu didn't listen. After hearing this, he was very angry. He couldn't help it anymore and wanted to teach these two servants who looked down on others. He didn't want to get so angry that he lost so much energy, so he laughed.
.
"Hey, it's really strange. This person pretending to be a relative came to the door and actually smiled. He didn't even look at how shabby he was. He imitated others' coolness and didn't take pictures of himself by taking pictures to see what he looked like!" Fat Shan saw it!
Ouyang Yu could laugh even when he was scolding, but he felt unhappy.
"I urinate every day. If you want it, it's okay for grandpa to sit on your head and pee in your mouth. It's just that your 'urinal' is too big, and grandpa can't bear it!" He saw two doors.
Ding didn't mean to shut up, and Ouyang Yu didn't have a good temper either. He always adhered to the principle of "a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and a person's treatment for their own treatment." So he teased this fat servant.
.
As soon as the monkey heard this, he walked to Fat Shan in a few steps, rolled up his sleeves, bulged his thin arms with all his strength, pointed at Ouyang and scolded: "Hey, come here and pretend to be an uncle.
Yes! I wasn’t ready to waste any more words with you, I just wanted you to retreat in shame, but I didn’t expect it to be so exciting."
"Come on, come on, let me hear you say that you are ugly but I can't tell you that I want you to be good-looking!" Fat Shan saw that the thin monkey was helping him, and started to talk wildly too, making him pretend to be intimidating.
"Li Zhengyu and Li Erlang, are you the deputy housekeeper of Di Mansion?" Ouyang Yu said patiently, but there was anger in his voice.
Fat Shan and Shou Hou looked at each other and were a little surprised. The names and positions reported in the report were correct. Could it be that they were really here to find relatives? But having said that, deputy housekeeper Li Zhengyu was not that popular in the Di Mansion.
Yes, the two of them have the steward Di Yong taking care of them, and they usually just do not interfere with the river. There are also factions in the Di Mansion.
Pang Shan stopped teasing and asked half-believed and half-questioned: "There is indeed a deputy housekeeper Li Zhengyu in the house, but how do you prove that he is your relative?
This is obviously bullying Ouyang Yu, who is a stranger. They are originally gatekeepers, and their job is to guard the courtyard and pass the news to Tongbao. But now they are here asking Ouyang Yu how to prove it. All they need is to go in and inform themselves.
There is a distinction.
"I'll prove it with this!" Ouyang Yu stopped talking nonsense, raised his fist as big as a bowl, stepped up the steps, and wanted to beat the two of them.
"Squeak~" The big red wooden door made the sound of the door axis turning. Another servant-like person slowly pushed the door open. The three of them looked at it, but it was Ouyang Yu's second brother Li Zhengyu who came out.
"What are you doing! Get out!" Erlang glanced at the situation in front of him, and he could guess what was going on with his toes. The two servants in front of him are also descendants of the old man of Di Mansion. They have been working as underdogs in the manor for a lifetime thanks to their fathers.
People are usually prickly, and because they are close to the big housekeeper, they are always flattering, so some small mistakes are covered up.
When Fatty Mountain and Thin Monkey saw the deputy housekeeper coming out, he had an angry look on his face and obediently stepped back without saying a word. It would be better for the county magistrate to take charge now. If he really fell into the hands of deputy housekeeper Li, it would not be so easy to escape.
Erlang hurriedly took a few steps to hold Ouyang Yu's shoulders and said, "Eight Lang, why are you here? How are you at home?"
Ouyang Yu stopped, glared at Fat Mountain and Skinny Monkey, and smiled at his second brother: "Second brother, everything is fine. I came to Jinyang City to broaden my horizons. Everything is fine at home."
The second brother turned around and asked, "I just heard the noise inside the door. What's going on?!"
"Deputy Housekeeper Li, we were about to report to you that someone is looking for you!" Shouhou took a step forward and answered with his hands raised. He looked humble, but he bit the word 'vice' heavily. Fatshan also lowered his eyebrows and raised eyebrows.
It's not surprising, I think it's a joke.
Ouyang Yu looked at the scene in front of him and realized that the situation was not as satisfactory as he thought.
"Eighth brother, come with me." Erlang didn't want to argue too much, and took Ouyang Yu straight into the house. Passing through the front yard, he saw lush green trees, brilliant flowers, and a clear stream flowing from the depths of the flowers and trees.
Under the stone gap. A few steps further, gradually towards the north, it is flat and wide, with flying buildings on both sides and carved embroidered sills, all hidden among the trees in the mountain col. Looking down, you can see the green stream flowing with jade.
Stone steps penetrate the clouds, white stones serve as railings, surrounding the pond, and two stone bridges span the water.
Really beautiful waterside pavilion, cornices and brackets!
After walking around twice more, he walked along a curved corridor to the end, crossed the arch, and saw several houses. "I think this is where the second brother lives in the mansion. The environment is quite good." Ouyang Yu felt very happy as he walked along.
Gradually healed.
"Eighth brother, this is where I will stay temporarily. Your sister-in-law and nephew live in the small house in Jinyang City." After saying that, he unlocked the house and walked in, holding Ouyang Yu's arm.
When the two of them sat down on their knees, there was no hot water in Erlang's room. He was waiting to call someone to bring it. Ouyang Yu waved his hand, took the teapot and poured it out: "Second brother, you don't have to pay much attention to it. Cold water is cold water. I just want it."
After driving all the way, I am very thirsty, and I can’t drink the hot water in a hurry.” After that, he picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
After a sip of tea, I chatted with Erlang about home affairs and looked at the furnishings of Erlang's house. The room was very simple, with only some tables, chairs and benches, a single wooden bed, an old wardrobe, and no other household items.
Simple is nice to say, but it can be called shabby. "Even if the second brother is just a deputy housekeeper, it's not like he doesn't have hot water all the time and the furnishings are so simple, right?" Ouyang Yu felt a little uncomfortable after looking at it.
Erlang has been greeting people for many years. Seeing Ouyang Yu's eyes and expression, he already understood what the eighth brother was thinking. He sighed and said: "Eighth brother, you and I are brothers, and I won't hide it from you. This Di Mansion
It seems that everything is harmonious, but there are infighting in the mansion, just like a small court. Although I am not a big housekeeper, my years in Di Mansion have no merit, but I still have hard work. My second brother doesn’t want to hide it from you, but I don’t want to.
You entered this wealthy mansion and quarreled with some dirty people. Your mother told you when she adopted you as her adopted son that your brother also has a small wine shop. If you don’t go there, it’s okay for him to give it to you.
.It’s much better than being bullied here!”
Ouyang Yu was moved in his heart. The second brother told the truth today, but he didn't just care about face and hurt himself. He only thought about himself and was not afraid of losing face. Based on this, he should do his best to help the second brother.
elder brother.
"Since the second brother is telling the truth, I, Ouyang Yu, might as well tell the truth. I won't leave!" After saying that, he looked at the second brother with a smile.
"You, why are you so ignorant? Second brother is doing it for your own good, do you understand?" Erlang felt a little anxious when he heard Ouyang Yu said he wouldn't leave.
Ouyang Yu picked up the cold teapot, filled a cup for his second brother, and then said slowly: "Second brother, it's not that I'm ignorant, I understand your situation! That's why I want to help you in this house, no matter what the errand, I
Just do it, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little bit hard or a little tiring. We two brothers will work together to help you stabilize your position. It won’t be too late for me to go! My second brother must also know a little bit about my abilities, so don’t worry too much!”
Li Erlang lowered his head and turned the tea cup around in his hand, obviously thinking carefully about Ouyang Yu's words. He has been working as a deputy housekeeper in Di Mansion for so many years, but he does not run the Laughing Wine Shop.
, firstly because he wanted to be on guard against this former family enemy, and secondly because he wanted to make a career out of his years of hard work. However, things went against his wishes. After many years, he still didn't get what he wanted.
"Since the eighth brother said so, I would be hypocritical if I don't agree to it!" Erlang smiled with relief and accepted Ouyang Yu's suggestion.
Because the important position in the Di Mansion had already been occupied, he had to find a job for Ouyang Yu to guard the courtyard. Erlang took Ouyang Yu around the mansion again, identifying the front and rear courtyards, which places could be entered, and which places
