Chapter 973: The envoy of the Chu State in charge


Mai'er thought to himself: Your family is not as good as my family.

My family is rich and pretends to be poor.

On weekdays, fish and meat are eaten secretly and deliberately wearing patched clothes.

On the contrary, your family has no money, but it is rich and fills face, so that others can afford it.

Usually live a hard life, but in front of others, he pretends to eat well. alas She couldn't bear to accept the dried meat sent by others, but in order to pretend to be poor, she had to accept it with great gratitude.

On this day, Zhuangzi caught two big fish.

The seller had to give a big fish to others.

In the end, it was still a loss, and the price and nutrition of the big fish far exceeded the dried meat sent by the other party.

But this can't be measured in terms of money, this is the other party's sincere gift of dried meat to you, not for your fish.

It is precisely because of this that the reputation of Zhuangzi and Mai'er husband and wife who do not save money has spread, and everyone knows that Zhuangzi and Mai'er will not let you suffer when dealing with others.

Because of this, Zhuangzi's family could not save money.

You are always losing, can you save money Therefore, people who can save money are selfish people.

It is precisely because of selfishness that Zhuangzi's family has a surplus.

If they were really so selfless, there would really be no savings in the Zhuangzi and Mai'er families.

The two twins born to Zhuangzi and Mai'er are not only cute, but also very sensible, and under the discipline of Zhuangzi and Mai'er, they can already do what they can for the family.

For example: with a baby.

Yang Hu, Zhuang Ping, and Zhuang Geng's three younger brothers were all taken by them.

Yang Hu is naughty, probably inheriting Yang Qinger's genes.

Zhuang Ping is just like Zhuangzi when he was a child, very well-behaved and obedient.

Zhuang Geng is the youngest, and he can't walk or talk yet, so he has to take turns with his twin sisters.

Zhuang Geng also inherited the genes of Zhuangzi and Mai'er, just like his brother Zhuang Ping, he doesn't cry much, he only cries when he is hungry, and he cries when he wants to and pee.

The twin sisters all knew that Yang Hu was not raised by their own mother, so they didn't dare to care about him, everything depended on him.

However, Yang Hu is not so naughty without a bottom line, he is afraid of his father.

As long as his father glared at him, he didn't dare to do anything.

She was afraid that others would say about her, and she didn't dare to discipline Yang Hu too much.

In general, Yang Hu is still obedient.

In this family atmosphere, he can't be bad.

Zhuangzi was afraid that Yang Hu would be spoiled in this way, so he began to take him with him from a very young age.

Go up to the mountains to hunt, go down to the river to fish, and take everything with you.

In addition, seeing that Yang Hu was very active, he taught him some simple martial arts movements to lay the foundation for practicing martial arts in the future.

He didn't worry about the baby he had with his son, he was worried about Yang Hu.

On this day, there were guests from Zhuangzi's house, two guests from afar, who said that they would order the straw sandals and leather shoes made by Zhuangzi.

And also long-term cooperation.

After seeing the straw sandals woven by Zhuangzi and the leather shoes made, the two were full of praise.

Immediately placed ten taels of gold as a deposit, to cover all the products of Zhuangzi after that.

The other two, like the people who lived their lives, did not invite Zhuangzi to the restaurant to eat, but bought ten catties of meat and related local vegetables, wine and other places at the market.

Don't sell the cooking, the two of them cook it themselves.

"If you don't eat in a restaurant, you don't eat in a restaurant, you can eat at home, and the babies can eat well, and the whole family can eat oil and water."

"Seeing that the babies are so thin, they have to eat more meat to gain weight" "Yes, yes, in this troubled world, how can you do without a solid body, the babies are growing their bodies, they have to be full and well-fed" "Uh-huh" The two sang and talked in harmony.

However, the two also felt strange that the big iron pot of Zhuangzi's house was not rusty, but oily.

If there is no oil and water, the iron pot will be rusty.

Copper pots and iron pots were luxury goods in the society at that time.

Ordinary people still use clay pots.

However, with the living conditions of the Zhuangzi family, it is still possible to buy an iron pot.

Because the consistent style of Zhuangzi and Zhuang'er is: when you have money, you are lavish.

It is entirely possible to buy copper pots and iron pots when you have money.

Zhuangzi knew that these two people were not in the straw shoe business, they were envoys sent by the Chu State.

In order not to attract the attention of the Song Kingdom, the two disguised themselves as people who were engaged in the straw sandal business.

These two people were entrusted by King Chu Wei, and they couldn't just ask Zhuangzi to be Chu Xiang so hastily.

Rather, it is necessary to investigate whether Zhuangzi is in vain King Chu Wei is also a generation of famous monarchs, not so mediocre.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

So he confessed to the two envoys, if Zhuangzi is not worthy of his name, then don't speak.

During the Warring States Period, King Chu Wei knew what "hype" was, and prevented Zhuangzi from being "hyped" by others.

So he asked the envoys to invite a really talented person, not a useless person who was hyped up, and the rice of Chu was not so casual for people to eat.

Under the greeting of the twin sisters, Yang Hu and Zhuang Ping were both very obedient, not annoying or making trouble, but on the contrary, they also helped to add firewood under the stove.

Both of them are not very old, but they are both smart.

And when I was at home, I was always doing what I could under the instruction of my twin sister.

Don't cook, just focus on embroidery.

In order to pretend to be comparative, Zhuangzi had to sit in front of the workbench and weave straw sandals.

After the two envoys cooked the meat, they took out the bones and gave them to Yang Hu and Zhuang Ping to gnaw.

The two little ones were as happy as if they were something, gnawing on their faces full of oil.

The twin sisters were responsible for bringing the farm to the farm, and they didn't get the bones.

However, the two envoys also took care of them and liked them, and secretly stuffed a piece of meat for them to eat.

If you want to have a good relationship, you have to start from the details, and no one will be offended.

After making a table of sumptuous dishes, the two took matters into their own hands and coaxed Yang Hu, Zhuang Ping and the twin sisters aside first, so that they could eat first.

Then he drank and talked with Zhuangzi.

After such contact, the two roughly knew that Zhuangzi was not in vain.

But further investigation is needed.

Maybe he's a man of rhetoric, isn't he?

After eating a ready-made, hearty meal, she went to embroider her flowers.

Zhuangzi and the two envoys ate and drank.

Since the other party did not reveal his identity, Zhuangzi pretended to be confused and talked nonsense with the other party.

It's not nonsense, it's free speech, irresponsible and untargeted.

The three of them started with business, first talking about the Great Zhou world, then talking about the various vassal states, and then talking about the kings of the vassal states.

Let's talk about the principle of governing the country again, and then talk about the major events in the world.

The other party wanted to test whether Zhuangzi was really talented instead of boasting, so he first threw out a topic, and then caused Zhuangzi to sigh.

Zhuangzi knew the identity of the other party and knew that the other party was testing him.

So I don't shy away from saying anything, and I don't shy away from it.

"Hmm" "Hmm" Seeing that Zhuangzi had his talents, the two envoys glanced at each other and nodded secretly. aa2705221:
