Chapter 208 Butler?
In the afternoon, Cheng Wenliu poured another bowl of hangover soup, and after sleeping with Lin Xiazhi in his arms, he finally returned to normal.
In the evening, the family had dinner in the house, and Cheng Fulang, Cheng Adie and the newly released couple sent the Lin family members out of Cheng Zhai.
Lin Xiazhi spent the whole afternoon by Cheng Wenliu's side, and only had the chance to re-acquaint the Cheng family's guests during dinner at night.
Although the identities and names of the dozen or so people were not clear at one time, at least they made a rough memory of their faces, so that they could recognize them when they met on the street.
After the meal, everyone in the Lin family was sent away, and Lin Xiazhi was dragged back to the room by Cheng Wenliu.
Although Cheng Wenliu changed his clothes tonight, he still felt that he still smelled of alcohol and wanted to take a bath very much.
Compared with Cheng Wenliu's eagerness, Lin Xiazhi was very calm. He knew that such a day would come after he accepted that he was bent.
It's one thing to know, but another thing when it actually happens.
When he was pulled into the ear room by Cheng Wenliu to take a bath, he was in a bad mood and wanted to run away very much.
Cheng Wenliu saw his intention at a glance, pulled him back and closed the door.
There was already prepared bath water in the ear room, and Cheng Wenliu untied Lin Xiazhi's coat, regardless of the coat, directly picked him up and put him in the tub, then took off his coat and stepped in.
The whole process was so fast that Lin Xiazhi didn't realize it. When he came back to his senses, he and Cheng Wenliu were already soaking in the water face to face in their underwear.
This bathtub is a large bathtub that Cheng Wenliu specially hired a carpenter to make. It can completely accommodate two adults to take a bath together, and they don't feel crowded together.
"You, you, you——" Lin Xiazhi felt Cheng Wenliu's hand moving in the water, as if he was about to untie his underwear, and subconsciously sprinted back.
With a "boom", the back of his head hit the edge of the tub, causing Lin Xiazhi to grin his teeth in pain.
"Me, me, me—what are you hiding, I won't eat you." Cheng Wenliu leaned over, touched the place where Lin Xiazhi was hit, and gently rubbed it for him, "Look, aren't we all wearing underwear? clothes."
The dim light in the room could not see each other clearly, Lin Xiazhi quietly blushed.
……
Early the next morning, Cheng Wenliu walked out of the house refreshed.
As for Lin Xiazhi, he had to restrain himself very much to maintain his usual walking posture and expression, which made him look a little strange, as if someone was manipulating him to walk through a rope.
"Brother Xia, get used to it when you come home." Cheng Fulang understood Lin Xiazhi's actions in his heart, and asked his servants to serve Lin Xiazhi soft porridge.
Lin Xiazhi blushed, and quietly pinched Cheng Wenliu's thigh with his left hand under the table: "Ah, it's good."
Cheng Wenliu endured being pinched several times, and simply grabbed Lin Xiazhi's hand with his left hand, leading him to eat with one hand.
Although he couldn't see the small movements of the two of them under the table, Cheng Fulang, as someone who had experienced it, could guess with his toes that it was definitely not peaceful.
After breakfast, Cheng Wenliu didn't have time to accompany Lin Xiazhi, he had to take those young guests from the Cheng family and the Lian family out to play.
A group of people went out with a whimper, and the house became quiet all at once.
Lin Xiazhi stayed at home to rest because he was not feeling well, and Cheng Fulang called him over to let him know about the servants of the Cheng family.
Lin Xiazhi had visited Cheng Zhai a few times before, and several servants in the owner's yard had seen him.
Cheng Ping, the servant next to Cheng Wenliu, and Cheng Zhang, the servant in charge of cleaning and doing chores in the yard.
Cheng Luanjing also had two brothers and servants beside him, Cheng Ruo was there to take care of him, and the other was cleaning and doing chores in the yard.
Cheng Fulang's surname is Lian, and his personal attendant was brought from Mo's house. His name is Lian Yun, and he usually helps Cheng Fulang manage the affairs of the Cheng family's back house.
Father Cheng is usually accompanied by not only a servant, but also Cheng Jin, who is called the shopkeeper Jin by the servants.
In the morning, I also met a housekeeper who was in charge of purchasing at home.
There are few owners in the Cheng family, the yard is not too big, and there are not many servants working at home, and more are the odd jobs in various shops, these people Cheng Fulang himself can't recognize them all.
Speaking of which, it's quite interesting to get the names of the older storekeepers of the Cheng family.
The shopkeepers Cheng Jin and Jin are next to Father Cheng, and the shopkeepers Cheng Ying and Ying are in the Liangmancang. Cheng Tong and shopkeeper Dong are helping Cheng Wenliu manage Jufulou. The names of the three shopkeepers are Jin and Yin respectively. , Copper homonym.
Lin Xiazhi took his discovery as a coincidence and told Cheng Fulang.
As a result, Cheng Fulang laughed and told Lin Xiazhi: "Brother Xia, I named the three storekeepers. I didn't bother to use my brain when I named them, and they used the homophony of gold, silver and copper."
"Ah, what about the names of Cheng Ping and Cheng Ruo?" Lin Xiazhi was a little curious. He couldn't find any connection between the names of Cheng Wenliu and the servants around Cheng Luanjing. Did he not think of it?
"They all named their servants themselves." Cheng Fulang explained.
Cheng Luanjing told Lin Xiazhi the truth from the side: "Brother, it's because my second brother and I thought the name Ah Mo wanted was not pleasant."
"You child, how do you talk!" Cheng Fulang pretended to be unhappy, "That's why you didn't realize that Ah Mo's name was shining."
Cheng Luanjing ignored Cheng Fulang, and pulled Lin Xiazhi to go out.
"Where are you going? Brother Xia has to recognize his family." Cheng Fulang was anxious, he wanted to leave the matter to Lin Xiazhi earlier, Cheng Luanjing, how could this child add to the chaos.
"I've known enough today, brother, I won't be able to remember anymore." Cheng Luanjing turned to look at Cheng Fulang.
Cheng Fulang stabilized his eagerness: "Okay, let's continue after lunch."
After receiving Cheng Fulang's words, Cheng Luanjing pulled Lin Xiazhi and ran away.
"Brother, let me tell you quietly, Ah Mo is in such a hurry to let you know your family members that you just want to leave the housekeeping to you. You have to be prepared." In the gazebo in the backyard, Cheng Luanjing whispered in Lin Xiazhi's ear explain.
Lin Xiazhi looked at Cheng Wenliu in surprise. Didn't everyone say that the husband of this kind of house likes to firmly control the power of the housekeeper in his own hands? Why doesn't the Cheng family follow the routine.
Cheng Luanjing looked normal. His family's grandma asked his eldest brother to help the housekeeper when he was a teenager.
At that time, he escaped a catastrophe as a child, and after his elder brother got married, Ah Mo kept targeting him.
However, Cheng Luanjing not only doesn't like housekeepers, but also has no talent for housekeeping. In addition, he is young and can't sit still. Cheng Fulang's plan to train his son to help housekeepers failed in the end.
Since then, Cheng Fulang has been talking about when Cheng Wenliu will marry Fulang from time to time.
When Cheng Fulang found out that Cheng Wenliu had a crush on Lin Xiazhi, he was so happy that he walked with wind every day, calculating when Cheng Wenliu would be able to marry Lin Xiazhi into his family.
A husband who marries in is not like a son who marries out. Once he marries in, he becomes part of the Cheng family. There is no need to worry that he will leave in the future. This is much more cost-effective than teaching a son, once and for all.
After hearing Cheng Luanjing's analysis, Lin Xiazhi couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Jing, I'm actually not very good at housekeeping."
"How come, brother, you used to take care of the family affairs in the Lin family, don't be modest." Cheng Luan looked like I knew what was going on with you.
"How do you know?" Lin Xiazhi wondered how Cheng Luanjing knew about their family's affairs.
Cheng Luanjing's face was a little embarrassed: "Hey, it was my aunt who asked me to inquire. He is not very good at asking Xiu aunt or Brother Yusheng, so let me ask."
It turned out to be like this... Lin Xiazhi understood.
The Lin family is small, and interpersonal communication is simple. Only the main house of the Lin family is difficult to deal with, so although he makes decisions at home, he actually does nothing.
"Brother, don't worry. Ah and I are optimistic about you. You are so smart and have so many ideas in your mind. You will be able to straighten out the family affairs." Cheng Luanjing looked like a little adult, "Brother, I can do it. Just buy some time for you, wait for you to get used to things at home."
"Then I really have to thank you." Lin Xiazhi pinched Cheng Luanjing's cheek.
The population of the Cheng family is not much more complicated than that of the Lin family, so let him learn as he pleases. Anyway, there was no entertainment in ancient times, so it's good to find something to do every day.
In the afternoon, Cheng Fulang took Lin Xiazhi to meet a few servants of the Cheng family, and took out a pen and paper to tell him about the relatives of the Cheng family, which made Lin Xiazhi dizzy.
Even if the first day passed, the second day was almost the same as the first day. Cheng Wenliu continued to take the family guests out for fun, leaving Lin Xiazhi at home to recognize people and understand the relationship between relatives at home.
On the third day, the juniors from the Cheng family and the Lian family were about to leave, and Lin Xiazhi finally got up on the third day and resumed walking normally.
After everyone packed up their things, Father Cheng and Fulang Cheng took the newlyweds to the pier to see them off.
"You boys, pay attention to safety on the way back. Stay together and don't spread out. Listen to the captain and don't just walk around on the deck because you are good at water. If you fall, no one can save you. Also, When you get home, remember to send a letter to report that you are safe." Cheng Fulang told these boys, "Jinxing boy, you are the oldest, you have to take good care of your younger brothers."
"Sixth Uncle, I understand, I will take good care of my brothers, don't worry." Cheng Jinxing nodded.
Cheng Jinxing is 17 years old this year. He acts maturely and dignifiedly. The younger brothers in the family are willing to listen to him. Only when he is in the Cheng family will they allow a group of young men to come out on their own.
"Second cousin, second cousin, you are welcome to play in Liaotai County during the Chinese New Year. Liaotai County is colder in winter than Lishui County. You can go play in the snow when you come over." Cheng Jinxing invited Cheng Wenliu and Lin Xiazhi with a serious face.
During these two days of getting along, Lin Xiazhi already knew that Cheng Jinxing was such an unsmiling young man, and he didn't mistakenly think that he didn't welcome them because of his serious appearance.
"Fourth brother, if you are like the second cousin, you might misunderstand him and think we don't welcome him." Another boy from the Cheng family came up to him and said with a playful smile, "Second cousin, my fourth brother looks like that all day long , you don't mind, you guys are here and our brothers will treat you well."
Cheng Jinxing frowned at his younger brother's foolishness, resisted the urge to correct his actions, and dealt with him after boarding the boat, so as to save face for his younger brother outside.
