The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 293 Preparations for departure ([-])

On the other side of the artificial lake, Su Yunduo specially left a piece of land far away from the river and built a small courtyard on a higher ground.

The yard is not too big, but there are four main rooms and two east and west wing rooms, plus a spacious main room, a small kitchen and a small independent toilet. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

This is when Su Yunduo received a letter from Lu Jinkang, knowing that he would select a capable person from the family members of the Zhen Guogong to manage the artificial lake for her, and decided to build it after careful consideration.

After all, although such a person is just a slave, he is different from ordinary slaves. If he can be given preferential treatment, he can work for her wholeheartedly, and she can worry less about herself.

Su Yunduo always thought that the person who could be recommended by Lu Jinkang to be in charge of the artificial lake would be at least a person in his 30s or almost [-]s, and it would definitely be impossible for five people to come to Geshan Village alone, and he must not bring a family of young and old. For a young man in his early years, this trip is only a bachelor, and he doesn't even have a family member around him, which is really beyond Su Yunduo's expectations.

In addition, Su Yunduo was also a little thankful that because he was worried about living by the lake that day, he specially installed kangs in those few rooms, and the furniture was cut from the mountains for the carpenter to make.

Now it looks like it's being hit right, there is a kang in the room, which is very good for Zhang Zhong's waist.

It's not inappropriate to let Zhang Zhong live in that courtyard alone.

Of course, Zhang Zhong’s young age does not necessarily mean that he has no family members. In this era, marriages are early. Maybe Zhang Zhong’s family members just did not come together. After Zhang Zhong is settled here, it is unknown whether he will bring his family over.

This matter has to be confirmed. If Zhang Zhong has family members who just want to come later, the yard will naturally be reserved for Zhang Zhong's family.

If it is really just Zhang Zhong who came to Geshan Village alone, it would be better to let Zheng Daniu's family and those who hired long-term workers to move to the small yard together for the sake of the artificial lake, so that it is convenient for work and mutual care. It is good to have a mouthful of hot rice and hot water.

Zheng Daniu's old mother, Mrs. Cai, has been getting better and better every day since she came to Geshan Village and was prescribed medicine by an old doctor.

Although Zheng Xiaoqian is young, she is really capable.

Of course, the grandparent and grandson alone might not be able to take the meals of the long-term laborers in the artificial lake, so they have to find another cook.

Of course, if this is the case, Zheng Daniu's long-term employment contract will have to be revised to make sense.

Seeing that Su Yunduo was speechless for a while, Lu Jinkang coughed lightly and asked, "But what's the matter?"

"It's not really difficult, but when will Zhang Zhong's family members in the capital arrive?" Su Yunduo shook his head and smiled.

Lu Jinkang laughed softly: "Zhang Zhong is Uncle Zhang's youngest son who is not yet married, but there is a girl he likes, who is now working as a cook in Shenquan Villa."

Su Yunduo's eyes widened in surprise, this post is probably aimed at the cook, right?

But if the two really got married, the cook on the side of the artificial lake would be found.

There are three cooks in Shenquan Villa, and Su Yunduo knows them all, except for the elderly Aunt Zhang, and the one named Baiji is Tongshan's fiancée, and the two are going to get married in the new year.

All that was left was Bai Ying, who looked delicate and pretty, but was very quick-tempered when she worked.

Lu Jinkang knew that Su Yunduo had already guessed who Zhang Zhong was interested in, and continued with a smile: "Zhang Zhong is here to marry Baiying, and he will live in Geshan Village from now on. Yesterday Zhang Zhong entrusted Mrs. Kong Nanny Han is by your side as a matchmaker, and Bai Ying has already agreed. You just make arrangements according to your own plan, and someone will take care of their marriage for them."

Su Yunduo glanced at Lu Jinkang gratefully. This man seemed cold-hearted, but in fact he was warm-hearted.

Once Zhang Zhong's matter was settled, the matters in Su Yunduo's hands were basically arranged properly, even if he set off tomorrow.

Of course, this is impossible. Su Chengzhi will have to treat another guest when he comes back this trip, and Lu Jinkang has to go to the mine to inspect it, which will take time.

Lu Jinkang stayed in Geshan Village for two days, and on the third day he took his guards and Ning Zhongping who came to meet him and rode to the saltpeter mine.

As soon as Lu Jinkang left, Mrs. Kong came to the courtyard of the Su family with her mother and maid.

Madam Kong used to come to Su's house to gossip with Ning Shi, but today Madam Kong's target is not Ning Shi,

She is not the kind of person who does not wink. Ning Shi and Su Chengzhi have been separated for half a year, and at this moment, Xiao Biesheng's newlyweds are sticking together.

No, even Su Zerui was brought by Su Yunduo's side.

Mrs. Kong would never bother the fake newlyweds, she came down the mountain today just to talk to Su Yunduo.

"Zijian told me a lot yesterday. He felt that you were too soft on Zhang Ping'an, so I must remind you a few words. Before going to the mine today, I reminded me that I must not forget to tell you this. something." Mrs. Kong asked Zisu to take Su Zerui to play outside, and then asked her servant to back down, then she took Su Yunduo's hand and said.

Su Yunduo was taken aback for a moment, and blinked at Mrs. Kong, this Zijian could not be referring to Lu Jinkang.

Before Su Yunduo asked, Mrs. Kong had already explained Su Yunduo's confusion: "I forgot to tell you, Zijian is the name of Jinkang boy."

Generally, men in their twenties will be bestowed with characters by the elders after the crowning ceremony. Unexpectedly, Lu Jinkang has the characters before the crown.

Su Yunduo was silent, and decided to reveal the whole story to Mrs. Kong: "I don't want to hide Zhang Pingan's matter from Grandma Kong, it was just a game between me and Zhang Pingan.

In fact, there was an agreement with Zhang Ping'an earlier, and this game was just to teach the Zhang family a lesson.

But he didn't expect Cousin Lu to meet him by such a coincidence, and he didn't expect Cousin Lu to sign the contract of sale with Zhang Pingan without saying a word. "

The old doctor Kong looked at Su Yunduo with some doubts, naturally he didn't understand that one was willing to sell and the other was willing to buy, so why should he care about what the Zhang family thought.

"That Zhang family is really hateful! I'm waiting for them to come and make a fuss, so as to expose their hypocrisy, so that the Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will not always have a reputation as a bad person, but they don't want to touch them!" Su Yunduo said harshly.

Mrs. Kong has never seen Su Yunduo's appearance of vengeance, but thinking about the daily behavior of the Zhang family, she likes Su Yunduo even more, and thinking about Lu Jinkang's worries, she can't help but smile , It touches to worry about that in vain.

"Grandma Kong has reminded me many times before that when I go to the capital, it is best to have reliable and available people around to take care of things outside.

I had thought about it before, but there was really no one available. Waiting for Zhang Ping'an to come and sell himself, it gave me the idea of ​​taking him to the capital.

Whether to sign a death contract or a living contract with him, I really hesitated for a while. After all, a good citizen sold himself as a slave, and he was a fellow from the village, so I always felt a little bit reluctant.

Now it seems that Cousin Lu's Thunder method is more useful to the Zhang family. Cousin Lu's decisive action really relieved the hatred in my heart. " Su Yunduo said and showed a shy smile to Madam Kong.

Mrs. Kong's heart was slightly relaxed, she stretched out her finger and tapped on Su Yunduo's forehead, and then pretended to be angry, and gave Su Yunduo an angry look: "Since that's the case, why don't you make it clear to Zijian, and let him mention it for you? Be careful, I'm afraid that you have the same temper as your parents, and if you go to Beijing and do those things that look forward to the future, no one will let people look down on you!"

"Grandma Kong's lesson is that when Cousin Lu comes back, Yun Duo will make it clear to Cousin Lu, and learn more from Cousin Lu's ways in the future, so that no one will take it lightly." Su Yunduo held Mrs. Kong's arm The human arm is full of words and smiles.
