Chapter 1428 A Deep Connection at First Sight, Only a Pity Time Hadn't Come Sooner
The village chief initially took a liking to Dege, thinking how wonderful it would be to have such a tall, strong, handsome, cheerful, and approachable grandson-in-law.
So I asked a bunch of questions.
a bolt from the blue!
It turns out the handsome guy is already married and has a daughter.
We felt an immediate connection upon first meeting, but alas, time had not come sooner.
If I had met my soulmate ten years earlier, my life would have been very different.
What a pity, what a pity, such a good man belongs to someone else.
Dege patted the village chief on the shoulder and comforted him, "Village chief, don't be discouraged. A good man like me is in high demand. It's not your fault if you're slow to act."
He paused, then added, "There are still quite a few brothers who are not yet married."
She gave the village chief a flirtatious wink, her eyes sparkling.
He continued, "Village chief, my brothers are all young and talented men. If you're willing, they'll line up one by one for you to choose from."
The village chief looked at De Ge'er suspiciously: "Master De, I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me."
Because he worked alongside the villagers every day, Dege'er's local dialect improved dramatically. Although he didn't speak it very fluently, he could still express the meaning.
Seeing the village chief's distrustful look, Dege'er pretended to be angry and said, "Hey, village chief, am I that kind of person? You know my brother, Lord Sun, right?"
Sun Shan nodded repeatedly: "I know, I definitely know. I would recognize Lord Sun even if he were ashes."
Dege'er nodded in satisfaction: "Village Chief, everyone can see what kind of character Lord Sun is. And I am his family member. As the saying goes, like attracts like. My character may not be better than Lord Sun's, but it is at least just as good. Don't you agree?"
That's true. Compared to Steward Wang, both Sun Dingnan and Dege'er are much better.
The magistrate's cousins are a reflection of the magistrate's character. Similarly, the magistrate's cousins are a reflection of the magistrate's character.
The village chief considered himself to have keen insight, able to see through people's hearts.
Nodding repeatedly, he agreed, saying, "Lord Sun is the best local official I have ever met."
He paused, then added, "Without exception. You could say it's something like, unprecedented..."
I overheard a scholar say something, which I don't quite remember right now, but anyway, it was something like, "Lord Sun is absolutely brilliant."
Dege smiled and said cheerfully, "Village Chief, you mean to say that there is no one like him before or since, right?"
The village chief nodded hurriedly: "Just this sentence. To meet Lord Sun in my lifetime is the greatest blessing of my life, no, the greatest blessing of Big Bird Village and Yuanlu County. How much good fortune must one accumulate to meet such a good Lord Sun?"
The village chief was speaking from the heart; regardless of what others thought, that's what he thought.
Thanks to Lord Sun, Da Niao Village has become one of the wealthiest villages in Yuanlu County.
Which village has someone in every household who has a job?
All of this was brought about by Lord Sun.
The village chief firmly believes that Da Niao Village will definitely be the richest village in Yuanlu County in the future, without exception.
Hearing the village chief's praise, Dege felt proud. He rounded up the score and realized that praising Shanzi was the same as praising himself.
He grinned from ear to ear: "Village chief, you flatter me, hehe~~~"
Changing the subject, he said, "Village chief, I have a brother here who isn't married yet. He also came to Yuanlu County with Lord Sun. Hehe, would you like me to introduce him to your granddaughter?"
The village chief's eyes lit up. He glanced at Sun Dalang and Sun Erjie not far away and asked in a low voice, "Master De, could they be guards of Lord Sun?"
Whenever Lord Sun goes out, he is always followed by a long line of men, a grand and imposing sight.
Although he couldn't compare to Dege'er's tall, mighty, strong, and dashing appearance.
But it's still top-notch; at least its physique is good for working.
If Sun Shan knew what the village chief was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes: Of course it's good, the dozen or so men were all carefully selected, those who weren't strong and tall were not wanted.
These are guards, so strength is very important.
If you have strength, you'll naturally be better at working.
Dege shook his head: "He's not a guard, he's a kitchen helper in Lord Sun's backyard."
The village chief was greatly disappointed when he heard that he was going to be a cook.
The so-called kitchen helpers are nothing more than odd jobs or apprentices. They're not even cooks, and they're far inferior to guards.
Dege couldn't learn anything well in the county school, but he learned to read people's expressions, especially the instructor's. He had to observe the instructor's expressions at all times, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to become the instructor's assistant.
Thinking of this, Dege'er secretly said to the instructor: I'm sorry, I thought so highly of him, but I left.
Alas, in order to get rich and live the life of a landlord, one has no choice but to leave one's hometown.
Dege'er is also heartbroken.
Seeing that the village chief seemed unwilling, Dege'er made a bluff, misrepresenting the facts, exaggerating and fabricating, and said with great fanfare: "Village chief, my brother here is said to be a kitchen helper, but he is actually Lord Sun's confidant."
The village chief asked, puzzled, "Master De, how come the cook is Lord Sun's confidant? What's the story behind it?"
Dege'er whispered mysteriously, "Village Chief, think about it, what is the most important thing for a person?"
The village chief didn't understand.
Dege continued, "Eat, village chief. How can a person go without eating? Don't you understand? We toil in the fields, facing the yellow earth with our backs to the sky, all for the sake of food, so we don't go hungry."
That makes a lot of sense, the village chief nodded in agreement: "Master De, you're right. All that hard work is just to avoid going hungry."
Dege patted the village chief's arm with satisfaction and continued, "Village chief, when it comes to Lord Sun's food and lodging, food comes first. To be assigned to work in the kitchen, tsk tsk... just think how important that must be."
Especially when it comes to food, a gentleman like Lord Sun wouldn't dare entrust it to strangers. What if something were put on the food?
This kitchen staff is practically Sun's most trusted confidants; no one but a close relative would be allowed to work there.
The village chief was taken aback, then realized that what Dege said made a lot of sense.
Ordinary people are lucky to have anything to eat, but Lord Sun is different. As a high-ranking official, his food, even if not exquisite, must at least not be poisonous.
Lord Sun is a high-ranking official with great power and influence, and his actions are bound to offend many people.
What if a political enemy bribes the cook in the backyard to poison Lord Sun?
To prevent all of this, it is essential to ensure that the kitchen staff cannot be bribed, which means only trusted confidants can fulfill this role.
Thinking about it this way, anyone who can work in the kitchen must have a very important status and must be someone that Lord Sun can rely on.
Oh dear, it seems that although this kitchen helper in the backyard is just a kitchen helper, he has a very close relationship with Lord Sun.
Even a lowly official like Sun Shangxiang is highly regarded in the kitchen.
If we marry our granddaughter into that family, wouldn't we be able to live a life of luxury by relying on Lord Sun?
The village chief thought that even if his granddaughter couldn't help the family much, it was good enough that she could live her own life well.
The worst kind of person is the one who can't make ends meet and still goes back to their parents' home to sponge off them.
Oh my, marrying Lord Sun's confidant is practically the same as marrying Lord Sun himself. How could life not be good from now on?
The village chief couldn't help but let his mind wander. His dark old face broke into a wide smile, like a blooming chrysanthemum, a smile that was unrestrained and carefree.
