Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 220;

Chapter 220, fooling a super steward
East of Chang'an City, outside Tonghua Gate;

"Don't give it away, go back, old Liu, come to Lantian to find us when you are free, let's have another two drinks."

"The magistrate, go slowly, the magistrate, go slowly, and when you come to Chang'an, remember to come and find my younger brother."

"Don't call me a county venerable. Now a certain family has no official and a light body. It's just a white body. Being an official will benefit one party. I also know that you are clean. Don't be afraid. Just continue to do what we did before."

"Yes, Xianzun, we brothers have been together for six years, but now we have to separate, I really feel bad."

"It's not like forever, you old man, why are you crying?
Lantian is only half a day's journey away from Chang'an, you can come if you want, don't bother with you, brother, let's go. "

"There will be a period later."

"The county lord, go slowly, Brother Li Xian, go slowly..."

Looking at the convoy going away, Liu Qi still waved her hands reluctantly.

Three carriages carried Xiao Tong's mother, two wives and concubines, and three children.

Li Yu and Xiao Tong rode on horses and walked side by side.

"Brother, it's almost here, it's almost half a day now."

"It's already here. It's not far to turn left at the intersection ahead."

"Brother, don't think that when you arrive in Lantian, you are in the countryside. Although my Zhuangzi is only a corner of Chang'an City, it is more than ten times larger than ordinary county towns.

And it's still under construction, three years, give me another three years, and the new Lantian can be built to be half the size of Chang'an.

Li Yu stretched out three fingers while riding the horse.

"If it wasn't for Brother Yu, who would have known what Brother Xian was up to, but would never have believed it.

A big city can be built with only one person's power, and others will still think it is a dream come true. "

"Look, there is Lijiazhuang in front of you, which is also the new county town of Lantian. The village is horizontal and vertical, and you can't find any mud.

But what I'm talking about is the newly built houses in the back, and half of them that haven't been demolished are still in the countryside..."

"My dear brother, the roads in this village are really flat, and the new city behind is more than a hundred times more magnificent than the old houses in front!

By the way, Brother Yu, arrange a place for Brother Yu, the house that the farmers moved out will do.

Brother Yu is from Sichuan and Sichuan, and his hometown is also in the countryside. If you can get used to it, don't just divide up the new house when you first arrive, so that the common people can't stand it. "

Li Yu easily explained;

"Brother, you don't need to think too much. My five Zhuangzi are different from other places. No one will think too much. After more than ten days, you will be Yuanzheng.

After the new year, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. The first half of the old village will be demolished again. It will be too troublesome to move around. It is better to divide it into a new house once it is in place.
At the beginning, I left more than 20 sets, which were originally for my own use.There is no need to occupy the quota of the farmers, so my brother can rest assured. "

"Lang Jun...Lang Jun, the villain brought it."

"What are you doing with so many keys?"

"Returning to Mr. Lang, the villain didn't know where Mr. Lang was going to give Xiao Xianzun, so he took all 20 of them."

"You don't need to take too much. I remember the one on the west side of Daniu's house, which is a large apartment. You just need to find the key to that house."

"Come and help me off the horse, my ass is numb."

"Hey, sir, wait a minute, wait a minute."

Xiao Tong made a very free and easy jump, and stood firmly on the ground.Seeing Li Yu who was helped off the horse by several people, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"My virtuous brother, you are a gentleman with six skills, but you are a bit unsatisfactory."

Li Yu rode a horse all the way, walking unnaturally with his legs spread apart.

"Daniu, you lead the way for brother, and go to the row of your house."

"It's Mr. Lang, but the villain has neighbors on both sides. You are talking about the empty house next to my neighbor."

Daniel took Xiao Tong's mother's carriage and walked slowly towards his house.

Finally back, Daniel now has a strong sense of belonging to Lijiazhuang. Although the city of Chang'an is lively, the house he lives in is not good, not as good as his house.

"When you get to the county lord, that house is my house. If you live here in the future, we will be neighbors."

"Daniu, don't call him the county magistrate from now on, but call him elder brother if you want to."

Xiao Tong patted Daniu's thick shoulder and spoke affectionately. They will be neighbors in the future, so they have to get close.

"The villain dare not, the county magistrate has been an official, and he still calls my husband brother and brother, how dare the villain call him indiscriminately.

Manager, hurry up and open the door..."

When Daniu arrived at the door of the new house, he called Li Zhong to come over with the keys with a loud voice.

"Qixian County Venerable, my lord, I have some things to deal with, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to take care of them, tell the villain to come over, and I will help the County Venerable carry things with ah Gui Da Niu."

"It's okay, it's okay, I can do it myself, I can't bother you all."

After Xiao Tong finished speaking, he turned to the first carriage and bent down;

"Aniang, we have arrived at Lijiazhuang."

An old voice came from the carriage;

"I heard it too, my son doesn't need to be polite."

"Yes."

Hearing the response, Xiao Tong straightened up, lifted the curtain of the carriage and hung it aside.

A dignified and kind old woman said with a smile;

"Daniu's voice sounds really strong. I like you as a child. It's not bad to be a neighbor now."

Daniel came up with a simple and honest smile; "Auntie, I can't speak well, so I will carry you into the house."

Xiao Tong, who rolled up his sleeves, just got ready and was about to carry his mother out of the car.

But being knocked away by Daniel with a shoulder, he shook his head with a smile, feeling indescribably comfortable.

"You child, you don't dislike the smell of old age. A paralyzed person can make you happy like this..."

Li Zhong, who was in charge here, opened the gate of the house, and yelled at the few spectators nearby;
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come over to help, this is the elder brother of the head of the family, Xinjiahou.

But those who are county officials in Chang'an City are much higher than those in Lantian..."

Daniu, Zeng Gui's woman, had already whispered to Xiao Tong's two wives and concubines. The neighbors heard that she was a friend of the man in the mansion, and immediately became enthusiastic.

They all came up and began to carry the boxes and bedding.

The scene became much more lively in an instant, a group of children were running around and playing like crazy.

"Thank you all."

Xiao Tong hurriedly straightened his clothes, with his left hand outside and his right hand inside, and he stretched out his hands as a salute to the neighbors who came to help.

Farmers in the countryside, how could they go through such solemn and serious etiquette.

Li Zhong, the chief manager, looked back on Lilai, he was meticulous and well-behaved, and he repeatedly said ~ "I dare not be".

Da Niu, after two months of nurturing, Agui's appearance of returning the gift is also like that.

The rest of the male and female neighbors, some nervous, grabbed the corners of their clothes and rubbed them,

Some people hurriedly dodged aside, and it was hard to bear, because they were flustered for a while.

Daniu, a woman from Agui's family, helped Xiao Tong's wife and concubines, first made the bed for the old lady of the Xiao family, and then settled the old lady first.

The four women began to disturb the courtyard again, fetching water to heat the fire, using hot water to wipe the inside and outside of the house.

Several neighbors are helping, and none of them is idle.

The whole yard was full of figures shaking.

Xiao Tong called Daniel Agui to the side, and asked in a low voice;

"Your two houses are this big?"

"Hui Xianzun, Daniel and I live to the east of you. Of course, the house is not as big as the house of Xianzun, but it is indeed enough. There are five or six rooms for people to live in."

The big cow next to him kept nodding.

"How come there are so many houses in this certain house? It's too much. How can the common people talk about it behind their backs?"

"Why should the county lord be like this? Now this is not Chang'an City. We people don't care about those things. Whoever the gentleman says to share, he will give it to whoever he wants. No one talks too much."

"Exactly, what Daniu said is right, the county lord just needs to keep it, if it's not enough, ask Mr. Lang to replace it with a bigger one.
The county venerable didn't know that it was called a villa, and a house took up several acres of land.

My husband is not stingy, if the county lord asks, he will definitely give it. "

Xiao Tong hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head;

"No, no, no, you can't bother my virtuous brother anymore, even this house, a certain family is a little bit upset.

I didn't do anything, I divided these dozens of houses first, how can I speak again, no, absolutely no. "

"Oh, if the county magistrate is fine, the villain still has to move things."

"Brother Agui, wait a moment, is there any place in our village that sells some vegetables or meat?
If there is, please point it out, so I can buy some from a certain family, and I will eat here tonight. Everyone has been busy for a long time, so please treat me well. "

"Xianzun, although we still say that we are Zhuangzi, in fact, we have long since ceased to be.

The first few rows of houses passed by, and the new county town of Lantian was next to it.

There were few small businesses in the past, but now there are dozens of shops.

You just go north from there, you don't need to ask for directions, you will see the county town when you keep walking.It is connected with our Zhuangzi. "

"Thank you so much Brother Da Niu, a certain family went to weigh ten catties of meat,
Now you two sisters-in-law, in the kitchen of the county government, have learned to cook in iron pans,

Let's have a few drinks tonight, my brothers, and I'll go get some wine by the way. "

Agui grabs Xiao Tong;
"The county lord doesn't need to buy wine, I'm not used to those water wines,

Just buy some meat and vegetables, it will be good when you come back, and I will ask Daniel to report to the gentleman later,
Go to the wine brewing yard, just bring a jar over, and leave the rest, and the county lord pours it for himself on weekdays. "

"It's not very convenient..."

Da Niu said honestly,;

"It's all right, county lord, when the two of us want to eat, it's just like this. Just report to the lord. If the lord is not in the mansion and can't be found for a while, steward Lin can agree."

"That little lady named Rong Niang?"

"Exactly, the county lord should not underestimate Steward Lin, he is in charge of the house."

Seeing A Gui's very serious expression, Xiao Tong wanted to laugh, and tried his best to hold back.

"Don't worry, the county venerable. I'll bring a pot later, at least enough for the county lord to eat for a month."

Daniu slapped his chest loudly, as if it was a very simple matter for him to carry an altar out, and he looked very powerful with his head up and chest out.

"One month, isn't that jar the one we've eaten that weighs two catties?"

"It was taken out to exchange for money. Let's eat it ourselves. There is no such thing. It's all [-] catties a jar. Not to mention the county lord, let's get to work. Hurry up, Daniel."

Xiao Tong wiped it off, and there were less than beads of sweat on his forehead, wondering; this virtuous brother's family fortune is really huge,
A jar of Wuliangye and thirty guan, just ruined like this, I really dare not think about it, dare not think about it.

Carrying a string of silver coins in his hand, Xiao Tong went to Lantian New County following the road pointed out by Daniel.

Along the way, Xiao Tong looked at the rows of red brick and large tiled houses, and became more and more shocked.

I thought that this kind of house could have dozens of courtyards, even if Mr. Li Jialang is quite capable,

Unexpectedly, row after row, row after row, were cut into many square areas by the well-shaped roads extending in all directions.

The road passing by is comparable to Chang'an Street, and it is clean. From time to time, there are older farmers sweeping back and forth.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that besides Chang'an City, there is such a...
