Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Be Prepared

I have an extra task to help Ying walk out of the door every evening, which has been scheduled into the schedule. There is no coercion, it is voluntary.I really enjoy the moment of tranquility in the countryside when the sun goes down. Every time at this time, Ying stretches her stomach and leans on a big locust tree next to the Tianzhuang fork to look at the red clouds in the sky. Wangcai climbs on Ying’s feet intimately After a short nap, the second lady squatted on the road ridge and kept pulling the foxtails around to weave all kinds of small things, while I looked at the three of them with great interest.

"The second lady's daughter-in-law is also pregnant. She will take a few days off to wait at home. It doesn't look like she wants to be a father if she leaves it alone." Ying looked at the cats and dogs that the second lady dexterously made up, and kicked the bruises on her feet. Wangcai asked, "But according to Wangcai's compilation?"

"Go back to Madam, prepare for the little dude, and prepare some fun for the little one who doesn't know what it is." Seeing her love moving, the second lady hurriedly stuffed her manual labor into her bag and got up to protect her, "My little one That woman is solid, it's fine to have her mother to serve her, it won't take so many people, but you have to be careful."

Ying was very pleased with the name of the little lord, nodded in satisfaction, and rubbed her belly, "I feel very sorry, it is this, from now on, everyone in the family who has children will buy two copies, and if there is a little lord, one will be bought." There is a share of your daughter-in-law's child."

The second lady didn't know whether to respond, she looked at me hesitantly, scratched her head in embarrassment, and smiled ugly.

"Still scratching your ass, Ma'am said it and agreed, lest Ming regrets changing her mind." I smiled at the silly appearance of the second lady, and went to support Ying on the road. "When you go back at night, hurry up and take care of the mother-in-law at home, or move to live in the mansion instead of running to Zhuangzi."

"Uncle Qian has taken care of this, but the mother-in-law admits that she is born, and she is afraid to go in and out, hehe..." The second lady is a real person.Hurting and drinking without any complaints, but every time he gets a lottery and receives a favor, he feels embarrassed, and the old man suddenly becomes shy. "Mrs. Hou Ye takes care of her a lot all day long, and the family's food and clothing expenses are not comparable to those of the peasants. No matter how small you worry about it, you will feel sorry." She pointed at the door of the mansion, and said with a smile, "Uncle Qian is waiting, what else?" It should take a few words."

At this time, Steward Qian would sit on the stone pier outside the house and look up the road.I didn't feel relieved until I saw my wife came back.Instructed a few maidservants to go up to wait on them, and came straight to the second lady and complained a few times, thinking that she didn't take care of it well, and she was so tired that Lord Hou and his wife came back when it was getting dark, next time they did this, they would definitely be punished.

Mingli was blaming the second lady, but secretly he meant to blame me and Ying. Others dare not say this, except for the housekeeper.old hands.He is the oldest and most qualified person in the entire palace. Sometimes the old money is a bit wordy, but the sincere concern of the elders really feels like treating one's own relatives.Ying and I benefited from it.

Smiling, he was pushed back by the second lady, "The meal is over, let's go out for a walk to digest food. Uncle Qian has a busy day and rest quickly, don't work so hard all the time, the family has more places to rely on you."

Every time he smiled at Lao Qian apologetically, the old butler's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he hurried over to lead her head, read the steps to send Ying in, and then respectfully said to me: "I'm old, talkative. Lord Hou Forgive me. Madam's health is important, next time I go out with a few more people, don't worry about Er Niangzi's rough stuff."

"Yes, bring more next time, don't worry, Uncle Qian." Nodding, he pointed at the accountant Hu who came back from buying pork head meat, and said with a smile, "The drinking buddy called you here, and I bought a lot of meat today."

"Hehe..." Accountant Hu smiled and walked over to salute while speaking. "Master Hou just walked back with his wife. I heard the housekeeper calling out to the second lady from a long distance away, please avoid anger. I dare not greet the housekeeper."

Waving his hands and smiling, the smell of pork head came over him. He looked down at the oil stains in Mr. Hu's lotus leaf bag, and pointed, "Who is Mr. Hu usually called the land? I always see you and the housekeeper eating all the time. It's been a few years, don't you get tired of it?"

"Good stuff, not greasy." Accountant Hu called a handyman to pass the meat over, and ordered the kitchen to cut it up, mix it with garlic and vinegar, and send it to the front yard, "On the east side of our village, since the new emperor It opened in the first year of ascension and has been selling until now, I am an old acquaintance, and I reserve a piece every day for my subordinates, so rich and rich."

I said that I was a little craving to eat, but I didn't want to show my gluttony in front of the servants, so I was a little upset.When I come back tomorrow, I will ask the second lady to weigh a few catties to satisfy my gluttony. I don’t like fat meat, but my second daughter and I are carnivorous animals, so we can eat together.

It went well, and the fourth and second daughters worked together on business matters?It went well for now.No matter how it is arranged, no matter how it is planned, even the specifications and colors of the products can’t be pissed in a pot, and it’s a miracle that everything goes well with the noisy and swearing.The two have cooperated tit for tat for several years, and there has never been a mistake in business. I have to marvel at the divine workmanship of God, which is amazing.

"The two of them are like that. They disagree with each other, but they can still tell right from wrong in their hearts. They should listen to whom and make concessions. After so many years, they already know the bottom line." Ying was not surprised at all, sitting on the kang Rubbing the feet, a little swollen, more rubbing to dissolve the blood, I taught...

That's right, they are all smart people, and the first thing for a smart person is to have self-knowledge, and the little girl's narrow-minded appearance just conceals the strengths of the two of them.Especially the second daughter, I found that she always finds faults and bullies the fourth child intentionally or unintentionally. Cheap and aggrieved at me pitifully, Meng Jiangnv's expression of crying and destroying the country's public construction.

When I came back from work, I heard the commotion inside before I entered the inner house. The mother-in-law and Yingzheng were sitting in the far side room, discussing something in a low voice. The mouth ran over to pull my arm and shook it a few times, and pointed at the fourth child with his eyes, which meant that he was at a disadvantage and was beaten.

"Don't do it," pinched the nose of the second daughter, "Stop it, the fourth one is not allowed to make trouble anymore, he doesn't look like it!" On my side, Ying and the old lady just pretended not to see, and no one came to help talk, It's too indulgent for the two girls.She patted the head of the second daughter, "Second lady went to buy pork head meat, go to the kitchen to adjust it, let's go to the garden to eat." Ying claimed that she would feel sick when she saw something she didn't like during pregnancy, and no one dared to face her. Stuffed with fatty meat slices, the fourth child was not happy to listen.Thinking that I was partial to the second daughter, I muttered a few words and went to my mother's side. The second daughter won the battle and ran outside arrogantly.

The skill of the second girl's cold dishes is not as good as Ying's, but I am very satisfied with the food, and the little wine is "sizzling". After cleaning the pig's head meat, he sat in the gazebo contentedly and hummed.

"Don't eat too much. Eat carefully..." I always indulge this girl and forget to tell her to drink ginkgo tea. The second daughter doesn't like the taste, so she can rely on it if she can. She doesn't understand why I keep giving her that strange thing. "For the treatment of genetic diseases, you can't drink it, and you can't forget it today."

"En!" The second girl nodded obediently, and took out a handkerchief to help me wipe my mouth and hands.Asked: "Whose disease is inherited?"

"Just drink it, and ask so many questions."

"Princess Lanling also drinks every day?"

"Don't worry about others, you drink yours." Knocked her on the head, "If you eat too much greasy food, walk more, and go for a walk with your wife later. Be careful to pile up on your body to gain weight."

"Well," the second daughter put away the handkerchief, and patted her stomach comfortably, imitating Ying, "it's empty."

"It's full of water. It's not empty." The girl was a little envious of Ying's growing belly, "Save money for your son first, he's the second child anyway, hehe."

The second daughter bared her teeth and smiled, "Don't be afraid, you will feel at ease when you have a son as a mother. The one born by your husband and the second daughter will definitely not be someone who will be taken lightly in the future. Don't worry about him."

"Yeah, even if I'm a girl, I'd be satisfied if I can be half a girl." This was the early death of the two old men of the Yun family, and if they knew that they had given birth to such a capable girl, they would have to show off to death.

"I wouldn't give birth to such a stupid daughter." The second daughter narrowed her eyes and leaned on my shoulder and smiled, "If the girl from the Yun family is like that, she can be beaten to death."

"Oh? I think her girl is very nice, she has backbone and perseverance. She is also smart. She knows how to move to the family for a little while without annoying the Wang family. What more do you want for the family business that has been worked hard step by step?" Yun girl may be in Some things are not as good as the second daughter.But it must not be said that she is worse than the second daughter, and the second daughter should not underestimate others.

"Backbone, at her level, I guess the fourth child has more backbone than her. Smart, let's see who you compare with, I'm afraid he's smarter than the second lady, hee hee..."

"Nonsense," grabbed the second daughter's hand and said, "Okay, they should finish eating and go out for a walk. Don't bully the second lady in the future. There is no one in the family who is more loyal than him."

"Well, I understand." The second daughter nodded, leaning against the pillars of the gazebo and stretching her waist, her evil smile always complemented that delicate face, "Yun girl is afraid that she will suffer a loss this time, I don't know Can you make it through?"

"Tell me," he casually picked up the flagon and led the two daughters to chat as they walked, "How bad is it?"

"It's up to Madam how much you suffer." The second daughter replied with an honest look, and blinked at me, "Madam always takes your opinion into account, and I didn't go down to the new hands a few times before the land change, just because I was afraid that you would treat her Changed perspective."

"Oh," I shook my head and smiled, the words of the second woman pushed Ying into an unrighteous position, and I spoke very carefully.He smiled and asked, "Don't talk about Madam, what if it was you?"

The second daughter lit up her little tiger teeth, "I don't have so many taboos about myself. Since I don't hide it in front of you, as long as you nod, there will be no more Yun's family. Now her yard has long been converted into some kind of workshop."

"What about this time?"

"This time the Yun family pretended to be smart, and the two daughters have already guessed it, so I definitely can't hide it from you. My concubine often visits the lotus pond of her house, and opened more than 500 mu of ponds in two years, which is considered to be enough capital. Last year, her family made another profit. With the money, at this rate, the remaining several hundred acres should be developed in one go this year, what do you think?"

I didn't observe as carefully as the second daughter. I felt that people dug very fast. They always hired a lot of labor during the slack season, and the fields were always busy.Shaking his head, "I'm still digging. I saw some digging when I was fishing."

"There should be some free time after the spring sowing this year, but there is no such a large amount of labor as in previous years. It is easier to find farmers who do odd jobs in the paper workshop than usual." Keep it in your head and use it at any time so you can relate.

"The progress of the project is slow?"

"It almost stopped. The silt was cleared a few days ago, and the irrigation port was expanded. She probably felt that it was not worthwhile for her family to invest so much money and grain to dig the pond behind, and she was afraid that the price of lotus vegetables would drop too quickly. In the end, I can’t get back the investment. Change the recipe to reduce the burden on the family.” The second daughter ran quickly to a few ginkgo trees, and a small stone flew into a small group of wild pigeons resting on it. You can't even sit under a tree."

There was no mechanized operation in this era, and the digging of ponds was all done by manpower and livestock. The investment of digging hundreds of acres of large pits at one go was not a small amount.The second daughter's analysis made sense, but I was negligent.

The saying that wasteland is worthless has become a thing of the past in Wangjiazhuangzi. It is obvious to all that the Yun family became rich because of growing lotus vegetables.The few remaining tenant farmers of the Yun family have now become rich with the main family, and their income is much higher than that of the farmers in Xinzhuangzi. The tenants kept silent, but the old tenants of the Wang family were not happy with the behavior of those people, and the old tenants of the two families even quarreled over this matter.

Once the Yun family opened a leasehold and randomly allocated a hundred or ten acres of land for a symbolic lease, the tenants in front of them would benefit.Later, they wanted to rent land without a pond; if the Yun family took advantage of the situation, they would divide the wasteland that had not been excavated into small pieces, and use free introduction, free education, and various preferential policies to set up a contract to each household, so that the farmers felt that as long as they dug the land by themselves, there would be no pond left. The only feeling left was to collect money, that would have saved the Yun family a lot of money.

The second daughter's analysis was reasonable. In this way, the Yun family reaped hundreds of acres of ready-made ponds with almost no investment.The rent recovered every year is pure profit without cost, so it is no problem to deal with a lotus root noodle workshop easily.

Laughed, admiring the five-body cast.I admire Yun girl's scheming, and even more admire the ability of the second daughter to see through Yun girl's tricks at a glance.Since the second daughter has asserted that Ying will make the Yun family's life difficult this time, it really depends on Ying's subsequent methods.The gentlemen can't handle such a delicate matter, just watch and don't interfere.

Probably because of her pregnancy, Ying became calmer than before, doing needlework slowly, walking slowly, except for the occasional coquettish desire to eat a water chestnut.He has never mentioned anything about the Yun family to me before, and it really is a bit like what the second daughter said, with a well-thought-out plan.

Speaking of water chestnuts, Cheng Chu’s land reclamation work in the nature reserve has already begun. Teacher Gao has taken good care of this noble student, and often took advantage of his spare time to go to plan with Cheng Chu. Absenteeism is so sharp.But Teacher Gao understood that I knew where he and Cheng Chu were going.It may be because the number of runs is too frequent.I'm usually a little embarrassed to see me, so I avoid it when I see you.It seems that I have done something wrong to the country, which makes me feel good about this ugly old man.

Now that I have the teacher's careful and responsible care, my senior brother has no reason to intrude. I try to use my power to open the door for Lao Gaoda. Even if Liu Rengui asked intentionally or unintentionally, I tried my best to cover it up. In order to serve the country, Zheng and his mentor are studying new land reclamation methods, trying to make the best use of everything without wasting every inch of land, and not forgetting the cultivation of new economic crops while paying close attention to food production.

"Let them come over tomorrow, the Yun family..." I smiled, "The superintendent has a high authority, it's better not to disturb the common people too much, those who can learn can watch, and the supervisor in the next family will lead them. It's a hundred times better than going to Yun's house."

Liu Rengui nodded, and even showed a smile, "This is the best way. I thought so at first, but because the young prisoner's wife is pregnant, it's not easy to say so."

"You're welcome, I'm a commoner, so I don't pay much attention."

While chatting with Liu Rengui, Cheng Chu led the two horses out and gave me winks.

"Oh, I still have to check the progress of reclamation with Dezhao, let's take a step first." He cupped his hands, how could he let go of the grandiose opportunity to leave early, before Liu Rengui could react, he took the reins from the beginning of the process, and left in a hurry go.

Yes, with expert guidance it really goes a long way.The Duke’s mansion is well mobilized, and the second housekeeper of the Cheng family is in command. Many laborers are working on the slopes. It seems that the wasteland has been burned once. The effect of burning the wasteland in spring is not very good. It is only to control the growth of weeds and trees. , First plan out the framework.

The road leading to the official road has already started to be paved, and a long row of shacks has been temporarily erected on a vacant lot. Various daily necessities are still being brought in one after another. If the Wang family did this, the three of us would be able to fight over this huge expense.

"Isn't it a flat terraced field? Why is it half and half? The soil in front has begun to turn over, why is the backside still green?" When I first came to find this strange phenomenon, I couldn't figure it out.

"Brother Zihao doesn't know something!" Cheng Chu was proud, finally there was something that brother Zihao couldn't understand, grinning big, and gaiting, he said loudly: "Listen to my little brother slowly coming!"

If it wasn’t for Qiancheng’s family, I would have rushed over, showing off for a long time. It’s nothing more than terraced fields on the sunny slopes in front, and bamboos are planted on the shady ones in the back. Bamboo likes the shade and grows quickly, which is better than growing on the back slopes. The benefits of planting crops are greater; secondly, it can effectively keep a part of the water from being lost. As long as you pick the bamboo shoots and roots frequently, the bamboo forest will not spread and will not affect the output.

It sounds simple, but if you think about it carefully, Mr. Gao is an expert. If you have time to communicate, please come to my house to have a look. Small agriculture learns hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
