Chapter 272
Long virtue and blessings, deep knowledge and words are closely related to one's own future.
If they cannot read and cannot understand documents, accounts, orders, as well as their own handwritten orders and approvals, the two of them study eagerly.
After two hours of study, the fourteenth girl smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Lang might come back for dinner. Let's go find the chef here and learn some delicious craftsmanship."
The two eunuchs were excited and out of long-term hunger conditioning reflex, they most envied the partners in the imperial kitchen in the palace.
But they also knew that in fact, the lower-level partners of the imperial kitchen were as unfilled as they were, and even more tormented.
Fourteenth Lady and two eunuchs left their residence, asked about the servants outside, and asked about the kitchen location.
Changde said, "Little Miss Mother, it may be inappropriate to go like this. I went to call the guards."
"The kitchen is in the front mansion, what did you call the guards for?" The fourteenth lady said in surprise.
Changde said respectfully: "I don't have official clothes and need to call a guard to prove it. If this is the case, the kitchen will question our origin and will not pay attention to it."
Fourteenth Lady was stunned, and Changde said again: "Go and go back quickly."
Seeing Changde leave, the fourteenth lady looked at Changfu and asked, "Call the guards, can you scare people?"
Changfu nodded and whispered: "Little mistress, the chef's craftsmanship is unwilling to be spread. If we want to learn it, we can only scare you."
"It's not right to scare people." The Fourteenth Lady whispered.
"The little mistress just learns cooking skills and doesn't steal the chef's livelihood. It doesn't matter if she scares her." Changfu smiled naturally.
Fourteenth Lady thought for a moment and said, "Let's give the money."
Changfu was slightly stunned and smiled: "The little mistress can give me silver, but I haven't received my salary yet and I'm short of money."
"I don't need your money, nor do I have any money. How many men can give it to me?" said Sisi Niang as a matter of course.
Changfu nodded with apologizing, the fourteenth lady thought for a moment, and then said, "I will ask your husband to give you your salary, and I will ask amber to prepare it for you."
Changfu bowed and said respectfully: "I thank my little mistress for the grace."
"No one, Brother Changfu, don't be polite." The fourteenth lady smiled.
Changfu smiled but said nothing, and the fourteenth lady said again: "Let's go see Amber first."
Sisi Niang and Changfu found Amber, who belonged to her daughter and lived in the wing room in her parents' yard.
When the fourteenth lady came to see her, Amber's mother came to the wing room from the main house.
The fourteenth lady smiled and talked to Amber. When she saw Amber's mother coming, she quickly turned around and gave a gift: "Auntie."
"Madam Fourteen." Amber's mother returned the respectful greeting, and then laughed and spoke together.
Changfu stood respectfully at the door, guessing the status of the little mistress in his heart.
Changfu and Changde belong to Jiuniang and Shisi Niang. At that time, Jiuniang ordered her to be called the eldest mistress and the young mistress of Shisi Niang. When he was alone with Shisi Niang, he learned that Jiuniang and Shisi Niang were sisters.
Therefore, Changfu and Changde believed that the Fourteenth Lady, who was born in a concubine, was a dowry and belonged to the concubine according to etiquette and law, also known as Mrs. Ru.
The Fourteenth Lady called Wei Fufeng Langjun. The two initially believed that the Fourteenth Lady did not value respect.
Arriving at the Guangzhou Governor's Office, Amber's mother respected Sisi Niang very much, which changed Changde and Changfu's viewpoint.
As a lower-level eunuch, Changfu and Changde developed the habit of being cautious and observing words and expressions. They would rather shut up and observe a little bit than show curiosity and eagerness to inquire.
Sisi Niang talked close to Amber and her daughter for a moment, and left with Changfu to go to Qianfu's kitchen to learn about cooking. Sisi Niang was embarrassed to let Amber's mother know.
Today, Amber's mother has a beautiful and dignified appearance and a graceful temperament. She is completely a noble official wife.
Changde, who left, called two guards from the governor's office in the front palace.
In addition to Lin Hai's subordinates, the Governor's Office also settled in two hundred guards of Wei Fufeng. Changde had no right to instruct Wei Fufeng to protect him. Instead, the guards of the Governor's Office gave Changde face.
Changde was led to the kitchen by two guards. The kitchen of the Governor's Mansion occupied a single courtyard, where dozens of people were busy.
Changde walked in with the two guards and stopped looking around in the courtyard.
"Where is the chef here?" Changde shouted in a sharp voice, and there was a silence around him.
Soon, a middle-aged man in robe walked out of the house with a simple face.
The middle-aged man looked at Changde and asked in confusion: "Is there anything wrong with this brother?"
"Are you a chef?" Changde asked again, gritting his teeth, and the person who came out was obviously not scared.
"I am the manager, the chef is Master Liu. Brothers look at him, may he be the marquis's entourage?" The middle-aged man replied calmly.
Changde was secretly discouraged and couldn't continue to pretend to be tough, and said calmly: "Our family is the eunuch who serves the Fourteenth Lady."
"Oh, it turns out that he is the eunuch who serves the Fourteenth Lady. Could it be what Mrs. Fourteenth Lady wants to eat?" The manager immediately smiled and left before saying with great sincerity.
Changde was slightly stunned and said, "No, the fourteenth lady wants to learn cooking skills, so she came here to tell me, and it is best not to refuse the chef."
The manager was stunned and quickly responded: "Sir, I'll go and communicate with Master Liu."
Changde nodded, the manager turned around and entered the house. After a moment, he came out, approached Changde, and whispered: "Master Liu is willing to teach, but I hope that Mrs. Fourteen will be able to make his descendants the imperial chef in the future."
Changde hesitated after hearing this, the Imperial Chef was actually able to obtain an official position, similar to the Imperial Physician. Now that he just learned some cooking skills, he actually needed to promise the Imperial Chef. He did not dare to agree randomly.
"Sir, Master Liu's cooking skills are definitely the first in Guangzhou." said the manager.
Changdedao: "The Imperial Chef is an official position. Although it is the last step, it is difficult for the Fourteenth Lady to agree."
The manager was stunned and whispered in surprise: "Sir, it's impossible. A last-rate official position can be given to Miss Amber, let alone the fourteenth lady."
Changde was slightly stunned and whispered: "I have not been to Mrs. Fourteen for a long time. I still don't know the specific status of Mrs. Fourteen. Is it true?"
The manager took a look and whispered: "The Fourteenth Lady is the wife's status, and Miss Amber is the wife Ru. I heard that the Marquis' original wife was the Fourteenth Lady. Later, the Marquis became the governor. The Fourteenth Lady's family felt that it should not be neglected, so they married the legitimate daughter Jiu Niang and the sisters were married together."
Changde nodded suddenly and whispered: "If the Fourteenth Lady can do it, she can promise to give her a reward in the future."
The manager laughed: "The imperial chef's position can be determined in the future. He is the uncle of his wife. He was originally displaced and after he met his wife, he was considered a step further. He was a military lieutenant."
Changde nodded and asked, "I wonder how your master and Amber Master are destined to be with the Marquis?"
The manager replied: "My elder, who was originally from his hometown like someone, lived in a house where the Marquis lived in Shangzhou. The family almost starved to death, so he sent Miss Amber to the Marquis as a maid. The elder also served as a guard of the Marquis. Later, the elder followed the Marquis to the Marquis to conquer Hedong and seized Junzhou, and gradually gained his current status and wealth."
Changde nodded and smiled: "Thank you, I hope to support each other with my brother in the future."
But the manager shook his head and whispered: "I can meet with my brother with you. Mo Yan is a lieutenant of the adults. Honor and disgrace are the adults. If he accepts the support, it will cause the adults to collude with his brother. The adults have always been strict with themselves."
Changde nodded solemnly and asked again: "Brother, what is the scattered lieutenant?"
The manager replied: "The lieutenant is generally the personal soldiers of the general, or the commander soldiers. The military system stipulated by the marquis, four lieutenants of the Ya general, eight lieutenants of the army, and the commander twelve lieutenants of the commander. The power of the lieutenants of the San Zheng is temporarily granted by the main general. The military position is equivalent to ten generals. If the accumulated merits are sufficient or the old people in the army are retired, the descendants can obtain the inheritance of the Ya general."
Changde nodded, and the manager said, "The descendants can only receive 30% of their salary in succession of military positions, and can pass on letters to the Governor's Office. After the descendants have 30% of their salary, they can basically last for a long time. If they are unfair or find illegal, they can pass on letters to the Governor's Office to sue."
Changde was shocked and subconsciously felt that this method was insidious. He suddenly thought: "I am a military envoy, are there eight scattered lieutenants who can listen to it?"
After thinking for a moment, Changde quickly said goodbye and turned around. He returned to the back house and saw the fourteenth wife and Changfu.
Changde waited in place for a while, and saw Shisi Niang and Changfu coming and heading to the kitchen of Qianfu together.
The manager saw that the Fourteenth Lady was coming, and greeted him respectfully and brought him into the kitchen. Chef Master Liu was about fifty years old and respectfully visited the Fourteenth Lady.
The Fourteenth Lady was also polite, and then she learned Master Liu's craftsmanship with Changfu and Changde.
The manager is Cao Tong, who did not stay in the kitchen. He is not a chef because he is the uncle of Amber's mother. After he became the manager, he was able to have a lot of contact with Amber's mother.
Amber's mother often warned not to bully others by virtue of her power, accept bribes, or form gangs.
Amber's mother's warning comes from her husband's always being impartial, and the other is her daughter Amber's family letter warning.
Amber bluntly warned his parents that Wei Fufeng treated officials well, but he was also suspicious of the officials' ambitions and greed.
Amber's mother often says to cherish the current wealth and glory, and sigh at the poverty that is unbearable to look back on.
Nowadays, not only have a generous salary, but also have land and business income. They are more than enough to be rich and do not need to be greedy for more.
Cao Tong himself cherishes the current salary. In addition to the salary of the ten generals, he can also obtain the adult's own money.
Although he was just a scattered lieutenant, whenever he went to and from the Governor's Office, any official who saw him would look close.
Without worrying about basic life, Cao Tong gradually yearned for Amber's father's encounter, and he knew that there would be a chance of military merit.
In the future, Amber's father led the army to war, and he would not need to fight and gain experience and achievements with the army. As long as Amber's father did not fall, he would sooner or later be able to obtain the position of General Ya.
Fourteenth Lady stayed in the kitchen for a while, and Master Liu showed off his cooking skills and introduced them in the same way, showing his profoundness in cooking skills.
Fourteenth Lady was very interested in observing and finally agreed to come back tomorrow.
The three of them returned to their residence, and the fourteenth lady continued to teach literacy, and then left and returned to the house.
Changfu and Changde communicated with each other in private, and Changfu unexpectedly, the Fourteenth Lady actually had the status of a wife.
After a while, Changde took the excuse to go out for a walk and left his residence to meet the princess.
