Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 309 The Yuan Family

"Good guy, how can he beg for food? The old ladies see him pitiful, and they can say auspicious words, and the broken silver is given piece by piece. He started begging on the way to temples at the age of seven, but five years later, he was stupefied. A big tile-roofed house with green bricks will come out."

"You think he's lucky?"

"Not only that, he also saved a pair of grandparents from Fucheng on that road. Hey, I am grateful to the old lady. Since then, people will send things to his house during the Chinese New Year. Every time I send The things that come are enough for his family to spend for a few months."

"Yuan Laorong is motivated, and he didn't just sit and eat. After knowing that the houses built by the people in Fucheng were all green brick and tile houses, he relied on the relationship of the rich man and went to the brick kiln in Fucheng as an apprentice. A few years later, he asked to marry The only daughter of the old master also said that after giving birth to a son, the second son will follow the old master's surname and inherit the incense of the old master's family."

"The old master was so happy that he agreed immediately. After Yuan Laorong married his daughter, he followed Yuan Laorong back to Yanfu Village and built a brick kiln."

"Because of the brick kiln, Yuan Laorong's family has made a lot of money every year. Coupled with the relationship between the wealthy households in the prefecture, Yuan Laorong's family has risen, and then they will become village chiefs and village chiefs. And this time the county will With the removal of half of the mileage, he was not withdrawn, and his position was secure."

He Shiliu told Gu Dashan and Gu Dafu about the matter of Yuan Laorong's family, and at the end of noon, the three finally arrived at Yanfu Village.

Yanfu Village was in front of Qingfu Town, far away from their Dafeng Village, and the three of them walked briskly for two and a half hours before arriving.

Yanfu Village is very big and quite wealthy, and Shangjia Village is considered to be the two wealthiest villages in Qingfu Town.

Every household in the village has men working in the brick kiln of Yuan Laorong's house. Now they are taking a nap and starting to work in the brick kiln.

A man saw He Shiliu, squinted his eyes for a while, and said with a smile: "You are in the stone business in Dafeng Village, why did you bring strangers here this time? Who are they? What are they here for?"

Gu Dashan has practiced in the workshop for two months, and now he is not as embarrassing as before. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "My family wants to build a shop. I know that there is a brick kiln in your village, so I came to Yuan Lichang to buy green bricks."

The man smiled and said, "He's here to work for us, then you come with me, and I'll take you to see Old Brother Rong."

Yuan Laorong's house is at the back of the village, a common green brick and tile house. After the man led them to the door, he patted the door and shouted inside: "Sir, there is a visitor, open the door quickly."

Then he said to Gu Dashan and the others: "Later, you and the third son will go in and find Old Brother Rong. I'll go to work first."

After speaking, he drooped his coat on his shoulders and left.

The door of Yuan's house opened, and a chubby ten-year-old boy opened the door, and said to Gu Dashan outside the door: "Are you here to buy blue bricks? Please come in, my father is at home."

As soon as the little fat man led Gu Dashan and the others into the house, Yuan Laorong and his second son greeted him.

After Yuan Laorong learned that Gu Dashan was the owner of Gu's Workshop in Dafeng Village, he was very pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that he is the owner of Gu's Workshop, so our deal is confirmed."

Yuan Laorong was straightforward and wanted to make friends with Gu Dashan and the others, so he immediately reduced the price of the green bricks for them. Originally, a green brick cost five cents, but now it only costs four cents, and the tiles are also cheaper for them.

Gu Dashan was very embarrassed and wanted to refuse, Yuan Laorong said: "Don't worry about these things, just treat our two families as friends."

When Gu Dashan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Yuan Laorong wouldn't be planning their workshop, right?

It's no wonder that Gu Dashan thought too much, but after passing by the Zou family and the Lu family's grandson's house, he was a little scared.

Yuan Laorong is so smart. Seeing his tense face, he laughed and said, "Brother Gu, don't panic, I don't mean anything, I just admire your family and want to make friends with your family."

Yuan Laorong's second son is smart, and explained beside him: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, my father is telling the truth. He admires the owners of your Gu's workshop very much. He often says that you are capable, and you have been here for half a year. Just start a business and open a workshop, you are a man of great skill. If you are such a man of skill, if you do not make friends with each other, you will be a fool."

More importantly, the Gu family had a good relationship with Captain Jiang, and there were even three boys working in the county yamen and the soldier's office. If someone with ability and backing came to the door, his father would only think of other things if he was stupid.

Yuan Laorong's second son wants to inherit the incense of his grandfather's family, so his surname is Chang, and his name is Chang Errui. He is eighteen this year, not only tall and strong, but also very good at talking. People feel flattering, listening to him, Gu Dashan and Gu Dafu are very comfortable.

Especially Gu Dafu, who took several glances at Chang Errui.

Hearing this, Gu Dashan felt relieved and continued talking to Yuan Laorong.

Because of Yuan Laorong's intention to make friends, their trip went smoothly, and they quickly negotiated how many green bricks and tiles to buy.

Yuan Laorong also invited the head masons in the village and met with them. After discussing the wages and setting a date for digging the foundation and delivering the blue bricks, the three of Gu Dashan happily returned to the village.

At night, Gu Dashan said to the family: "The green bricks only cost four pennies a piece, and the new tiles cost a penny a piece, which can save us a lot of money."

Gu Jinan was already settling accounts, and Shaoqing said, "It saved us 20 taels of silver."

They wanted to build three shops, and they needed a huge amount of blue bricks and tiles. Even though they only lost a penny, the three shops counted, but they saved 20 taels of silver.

"Hey, Li Chang Yuan is really generous, and we can't be too stingy. When they bring the blue bricks, we have to bring them back some braised meat, roast duck, and seasonings."

Gu Dafu is more interested in Chang Errui than Yuan Laorong.

He waited for the people from several families to leave, and stayed there specially, and said to the third grandpa and the third grandma: "Chang Errui, the young man, seems to be a good one, sensible, capable of doing things, and steady, although he wants to inherit the incense of the grandpa's family, he can't be surnamed." Yuan, but this is good for sister Mei."

"Sister Mei has such a temper. If she lives under the same roof with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she will have to make trouble every day. The Yuan family has already built a green brick and tile house for Chang Errui. They said that after he gets married, the young couple will live together." Move to the new house, officially inherit the incense of the Chang family, and don't need to support Yuan Laorong and his wife."

"Old man Chang passed away three years ago. If Sister Mei can marry Chang Errui, she will have the final say on how to live in the future, and she won't have to be angry with her mother-in-law."

The more Gu Dafu talked, the more excited he became, and he wanted to save face and find a matchmaker to go to Yuan's house to say goodbye.

And Chang Errui hasn't been engaged yet, and it's also because he wants to keep a filial piety for the old man. Now that he has just been out of filial piety for two months, Yuan Laorong's family is planning to see Chang Errui's wife.

Gu Dafu felt that this was fate, or else he went to Yuan's house and met Chang Errui just as he was about to find a marriage for Sister Mei.
