Chapter 45

When Shen Jiangcai and Shen Xushan went out, they met Shen Jinshan who was waiting anxiously.

Shen Jinshan's loose men's clothing made her look extraordinarily petite, her height only reached Shen Xushan's chest, her palm-sized face was fair and bright, and her bright black eyes met the eyes of her father and elder brother, "Daddy, brother, how are you?"

Although he was dressed in men's clothing, his voice was as crisp as a yellow warbler.

Only when Shen Jiang saw Shen Jinshan did he realize that there was a dense layer of sweat on his forehead. He wiped his forehead gently with his cuff, but his face showed a slightly relaxed expression, but he was afraid that the wall would have ears, so he pulled Shen Jinshan's wrist and said: " Let's go back and talk."

Shen Jinshan looked at his elder brother, and Shen Xushan winked.

The father and son hurried home.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw Song Yajun coming over to open the fence with his dress in hand, muttering: "Old man, you are back."

Shen Jinshan and Shen Xushan called out in unison: "Mother."

A family of four entered the house, and Song Yajun quickly poured hot tea for the three of them.

Shen Jinshan looked at Shen Jiangcai with burning black eyes, just as Shen Jiangcai was feeling thirsty, he poured a cup of tea and said: "Hua Zhuangtou is right, all matters on Wubao are decided by the madam."

Shen Jinshan's eyes dimmed suddenly, and there was regret in his voice: "Is that so?"

"However, although Madam is the one who decides to go into the mountain, Daddy thinks that this matter is not as bad as what Hua Zhuangtou said. Just like you, you are also a daughter, but the carpenter's skills are much higher than your brother's. Madam's It means that she wants to meet you, and she has some ideas to share with you." Shen Jiang just finished speaking, and then told the matter of meeting the prince and his wife just now, and fixed his eyes on Jinshan with piercing eyes.

That's right, Jinshan is the youngest daughter of him and Song Yajun.

The youngest daughter is gifted and intelligent, and her attainments in carpentry have surpassed that of her elder brother Xu Shan. In order to facilitate work, she basically wears men's clothing on weekdays, so many farmers in Wubao think that Shen Jiang only has two sons.

Shen Jiang explained it at the beginning, but after a long time, he got tired of explaining and didn't bother to explain more.

After Shen Jinshan heard what his father said, he asked again: "Madam didn't blame us for doing things badly?"

"Well, no."

Shen Jinshan let out a heavy breath after hearing this, "Father, elder brother, we must have gotten rumors about the matter of seeing the son and his wife today at Huazhuangtou. If you ask, just say New Year's greetings. As for the matter of going to see your wife." , I will go there again when it gets darker."

Worry flashed across Shen Xushan's eyes, "Little sister, can we trust Madam?"

Shen Jinshan looked at the slightly lowered eyelids, and pondered for a while: "Anyway, the head of Huazhuang is old and cunning, and it is absolutely impossible to trust." After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Shen Xushan, "But, brother, you see, our New Year this year is at least eating On the meat, ma'am, at least someone who sympathizes with everyone in Wubao."

Shen Xushan's expression flashed firm, "Well, little sister, you are our family's military adviser, and my father and I will listen to you this time."

The four of them were talking with the door closed when they heard someone shouting into the house from outside: "Is anyone at home? Is Carpenter Shen at home?"

Shen Jiangcai suddenly looked at Shen Jinshan, and saw that Shen Jinshan had stood up from his seat, walked a few steps to the door curtain and looked out, her voice was crisp and clear, "Hey, it's Linger."

Linger is the little granddaughter of Huazhuangtou. She is 11 years old. She looked into the yard on tiptoe and saw Shen Jinshan coming out with clear eyes, "Brother Jinshan, is Uncle Shen at home? My grandfather asked me to come over and call Uncle Shen for dinner." .”

Shen Jinshan frowned slightly, and snorted slightly in his heart, when they came back, he caught up with his back.

It's kind of ugly to eat...

Shen Jinshan smiled sweetly, "Hua Zhuangtou is so polite?"

Ling'er smiled and replied: "My grandfather said that last year we worked hard for a whole year, so I invited everyone to dinner. Brother Jinshan, I won't tell you anymore. I will go to Aunt Guan's house first, and I have to talk to Aunt Guan and the others." One sound."

After Hua Ling'er finished speaking, she bounced and ran away.

Shen Jiang held his breath and listened to Hua Linger's words, then saw Shen Jinshan turned his eyes to look at him with a relaxed expression, "Daddy, you just go, don't worry, you are not the only one going."

Shen Xushan squinted his eyes, and said at the right time: "Madam went to Mrs. Guan's house twice, and today we went to see Madam again. I'm afraid Huazhuangtou can't sit still. After the new year, the wasteland will be reclaimed immediately. The farmers inside and outside the castle have their own fields, and the farmers naturally support Madam, so the road to Huazhuangtou can only end here."

Shen Jinshan immediately agreed: "Brother is right. Daddy, you go to Huazhuangtou's house, and I will go to Madam's again to hear what Madam has to say."

Shen Jiang nodded and sighed deeply, "Okay, we two will do things separately."

After the family finished talking, they packed up and went out again.

...

Shen Jiang just walked to the edge of the field when he ran into Guan Chunfeng and Gao Xingzhi who were on the same road.

The two women came here hand in hand, Gao Xingzhi's perennially stern face was stained with a little smile today, when he saw Shen Jiangcai, he greeted him with a smile, "Carpenter Shen, happy new year, you are also going to Huazhuangtou's place ?”

The little beard on Shen Jiangcai's lips moved slightly, "Miss Guan, Gao Jiangtou, happy new year. I just happen to be with you."

The three of them exchanged a few words, and then went to Huazhuang head house one after the other.

The house of Huazhuang's head family is second only to the son, with a spacious courtyard and three rooms side by side.

At the moment, the main hall is brightly lit, and there are four low tables. The food and wine on the low tables should be a lot of money, including wine and meat.Hua Zhuangtou sat in the first place, Shen Jiangcai sat on the low table on the right, Gao Xingzhi was on the left, and Lady Guan was next to Gao Xingzhi.

Huazhuang squinted his eyes slightly, glanced at the people under his eyes, raised his glass and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start. The prince and his wife came to Wubao this year, and they distributed pork a year ago. Most of the hard-earned pigs have been killed, and there is a shortage of food. This year's life may be difficult!"

Shen Jiang lowered his brows and eyes, looked at his nose, nose and heart, and sneered in his heart. Hua Zhuangtou was impatient, and he didn't even sing the opening remarks.
"It's really hard for me to be a farmer. The Spring Festival will be over in a flash. I invite you to come today. I just hope that our four craftsmen can work together to make a contribution to this year's harvest."

Hua Zhuang had just finished speaking when Guan Chunfeng opened his mouth first.

Her tone was slightly surprised, and her eyes were full of surprise, "Hua Zhuangtou, what do you mean... the matter of the mine should be handed over to our Zheng family?"

Hua Zhuang turned his head to look at Guan Chunfeng, and sighed deeply, "Miss Guan, it's my Linger's fault, don't blame me, she only called you but not Zheng Hao. Zheng Hao is not young this year. The mine is held in his hand because he is afraid that the child will not be sensible, and now, he should also shoulder the heavy responsibility of the mine."

Guan Chunfeng was slightly taken aback, and looked at Huazhuang's head with exquisite eyes. It was as if a stone had been thrown into the lake of her heart, causing ripples and circles. She said in disbelief, "Really?"

"Of course." Hua Zhuangtou looked serious and calm, and his sincere appearance almost showed her his heart. At the end, he added, "Zheng Hao's child is Zheng Jiangtou's seed. Very good."

Guan Chunfeng's eyes turned red with excitement, "That's really great...just..."

Guan Chunfeng thought that Zheng Hao had agreed to his wife's mining, but his words were interrupted by the harsh sound of a bowl falling on the ground in the main hall.

It was Shen Jiang who missed the bowl.

With a simple and honest face, he cupped his fists at Hua Zhuangtou apologetically, "Zhuangtou, I'm really sorry, I didn't hold the villain's bowl securely."

Huazhuang's head frowned, his eyes turned around Shen Jiangcai with unclear meaning, and the corners of his lips curled up without a smile, "It's nothing." Then he looked at Guan Chunfeng seriously, and asked: "Guan Ma'am, please continue."

Shen Jiangcai...

Huazhuangtou, how deep the city is, the speed of this face-changing is probably unmatched by anyone.

Guan Chunfeng's eyes glanced at the wine on the ground, and his originally excited mood was suddenly revived, like cold water being poured on his head in the cold winter months, and the words on his mouth suddenly changed, "...It's just that Hao'er is still too young. Even if you take over the mine, the people here..."

Hua Zhuangtou answered: "Miss Guan, don't worry about this. With me here, how can the people below bully Hao'er. I also watched Hao'er grow up. Brother Zheng and I are like brothers and sisters. The baby is my baby, let Hao'er recognize me as godfather, with me, how can Hao'er suffer?"

Guan Chunfeng's eyebrows condensed slightly, and she drooped her eyebrows respectfully, her heart felt as if it was covered with flies, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. She would have foolishly believed these words a year ago, but now?Back then, the old man in front of him sent her away with a flirty remark that Wubao's harvest this year was not good. She didn't get any money, and she wanted to save face. How could she open it again and again?The days when she and Hao'er were hungry are vivid, why did she want to cover her heart with lard just now, and tell Hao'er about promising his wife to mine?
This head of Huazhuang really wanted to help, he would have done so a year ago, why would he wait until now?
She is really stupid.

Fortunately, it was the sound of the broken bowl reminding her.

She said without much emotion in her mouth: "Zhuangtou is right, I will talk to Hao'er about it when I go back."

Cunning and cunning.

Shen Jiangcai moved his lips under his beard almost imperceptibly. How old is Zheng Hao, and he is afraid that he will be treated as a puppet by Huazhuang head!

Hey--

Gao Xingzhi seemed to be in a trance, no matter what they said at the head of Huazhuang, she didn't move, as if no one should enter.

Gao Xingzhi naturally has her own plans. Her embroidery workshop has a very low sense of existence on this Wubao. Originally, when the prince was on the Wubao, he could barely make a living. In the year after the prince was injured and returned to Beiliang, What kind of life she led the family at home, only she knew best in her heart.

Therefore, she would not believe a word Hua Zhuangtou said.

Guan Chunfeng was different from her again. When Carpenter Zheng was here, Carpenter Zheng blocked everything in the family workshop. After all, Guan Chunfeng was a little lady who had never suffered.

So she and Mrs. Guan couldn't talk together.

It's just that when Mrs. Guan's life was getting worse, she helped her out, and the two of them had an intersection.

Gao Xingzhi was secretly worried about Hua Zhuangtou talking to her so much just now, but she is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and cannot protect herself, so it is inconvenient for her to help.

Fortunately, Mrs. Guan has also undergone some changes in the past year, so it is absolutely impossible to fully trust Huazhuangtou.

Gao Xingzhi felt a little more at ease.

Hua Zhuangtou changed the subject, and asked Shen Jiangtou about going to Shizi's Mansion.

Only then did Shen Jiang return in a satisfactory manner, and he couldn't find any faults.

Hua Zhuang looked suspiciously at Shen Jiangcai's face for a long time with his brows fixed, before he looked away.

A gathering, with four people having their own thoughts, took two hours to finish...

 A little bit of Calvin, 3000 will be delivered.

  See you tomorrow~
