Chapter 718
In the past two years, the weather in the capital has been favorable, and the fertile land has produced a lot. There are really few people around the capital who are willing to sell the fertile land. Even if they sell the land because of urgent need for money, the per mu of fertile land has also increased. From 15 taels per mu at the beginning of last year, it has been sold to nearly 20 taels and one mu, and the price of stretches of fertile land is even higher.

Naturally, Su Yunduo would not foolishly buy land when the price was high, and he was even more unwilling to buy a small plot of land with only a dozen or twenty mu, which is too difficult to manage!
Besides, when buying land, why bother to buy good land, mountainous land and even low-grade farms can still be turned into treasures in her hands, the new farmhouse that Dafang bought is the best example.

Thanks to Jiang Xiao's efforts in the early stage and Wang Xiaolin's careful management in the later stage, the Zhuangzi now grows half of the herbs and half of the flowers, and the growth is very gratifying. Some flowers have already begun to bud, and the harvest is in sight.

"Then there's no need to buy such a Zhuangzi! Your housekeeper can't let your temper waste money like this!" Xiao Xu still refused to let go.

Su Yunduo was a little angry in his heart, but still calm and self-possessed on the face, he asked Xiao Xu: "If the madam is in charge of the house, how will the madam make use of the income of the big house, and what is the minimum annual income?"

Little Xu was left speechless by the question. When she married Lu Da as his successor, although the Xu family was not as good as before, her dowry still included two small villages and a few shops, but she was not good at running them. .

No matter Zhuangzi or shop, they basically don't make money, and even pay a lot of money.

But how could she show weakness in front of Su Yunduo, she was only stunned for a moment, gritted her teeth, and gave a height that she thought was unattainable: "Our Dafang's property is all good, even if it loses money, it is temporary. I manage it, and the property under the name of our Dafang will definitely increase by at least [-]% within this year!"

The nanny behind Xiao Xu took a deep breath, and her face suddenly changed.

The corners of Su Yunduo's mouth hooked up, and that mocking look made little Xu's heart skip a beat, could it be that he was [-]% taller?
Su Yunduo said softly: "[-]%? That's a lot!"

Although the voice was soft, it was enough for Xiao Xu to hear clearly.

Little Xu seemed to hear a bit of embarrassment and reluctance from Su Yunduo's voice, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

It is indeed difficult for her to get out of her family temple now, let alone embarrass Su Yunduo, but there is a golden opportunity in front of her, and she must take advantage of Su Yunduo no matter what.

Although more than 20 years later, most of the properties of the big house will fall into the hands of Lu Jinkang, but the more the property of the big house, the more property Lu Jinhua, as the only second son, will naturally get when the property is divided. many.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xu's heart couldn't help jumping a little, and she raised her head and stared at Su Yunduo: "No less than [-]%! Since you are the family of the big house, you have to add bricks and tiles to the big house!"

With a sudden turn in his mind, Xiao Xu's eyes lit up a little: "One year, ten years must be doubled!"

Su Yunduo's eyebrows twitched slightly, it is not difficult for Dafang's property to double in ten years, but it is not so easy for Xiao Xu's petty thinking to succeed.

After a while, Su Yunduo looked at Xiao Xu in surprise, deliberately misinterpreted Xiao Xu's meaning, and said with an inexplicable joy: "Madam is really capable of doubling our big house's property in ten years? It's great! I'll go back and tell my husband to take care of my wife's property, and I can breathe a sigh of relief and free up energy to take care of my dowry and shop."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave the family temple. It seemed that she couldn't wait to hand over the big house's property to Xiao Xu's management. From then on, she and Lu Jinkang could enjoy the benefits easily.

Little Xu was taken aback by Su Yunduo, without Lu Mingyang nodding, she would never be able to leave the family temple at all, how would she run the business?

The property of the big house was handed over to Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo by Lu Da himself. How dare she take over the property of the big house from Yunduo Su, not to mention that she does not have the ability to manage the big house within ten years. industry doubled.

If Su Yunduo is really allowed to leave like this right now, I'm afraid that he won't even have the chance to see his children like this in the future.

No, this matter cannot reach the ears of the old man and the old lady.

Little Xu stood up eagerly, reaching out to pull Su Yunduo.

Since he wanted to teach Xiao Xu a lesson, how could Su Yunduo let her hold him, turning sideways to avoid Xiao Xu's outstretched hand, Ziyue, who followed Su Yunduo to the family temple, stepped forward to block it Xiao Xu, and Su Yunduo turned around and walked out.

Little Xu was anxious and angry, but she didn't dare to let Su Yunduo leave like this, and shouted at Su Yunduo: "Stop! When did I say that Dafang's property can be doubled in ten years?!"

Su Yunduo paused, and turned to look at Xiao Xu, her face full of surprise: "Just now I heard my wife say that what is [-]% a year must be doubled in ten years. Could it be that I am hallucinating? Ziyue And Mammy, did you hear that?"

Zisu naturally nodded repeatedly, and the mother behind Xiao Xu shook her head and nodded, with a look of embarrassment.

Xiao Xu glared at Su Yunduo viciously. If she doesn't understand that Su Yunduo did it on purpose at this time, then she is really stupid and hopeless: "Since the property of the big house is entrusted to you and your wife by the Duke, Reason, since there is no reason to be handed over to me, you must be worthy of the trust of the Duke."

Su Yunduo looked at Xiao Xu's indifferently: "If Ma'am is worried, just send a letter to the Duke of the State, and let the Duke of the State take over the management rights of the big house. There is no need to use such words to try."

Little Xu was blocked by Su Yunduo and almost lost her breath. If she dared to send a message to Lu Da, why was she in such a hurry? !

After staring at Su Yunduo for a while, Xiao Xu simply stopped mentioning Dafang's property, and instead focused on the bonus of Lu Jinhua and Lu Yujiao.

Xiao Xu is the biological mother of Lu Jinhua and Lu Yujiao, even if she is locked up in the family temple, it can't stop her from caring about her children. Now that she raised the question about Lu Jinhua and Lu Yujiao's bonus, Su Yunduo naturally had to explain her doubts.

"Madam asked about this matter, I should explain it for Madam. After the bonus was distributed to the big house, I took out the two thousand silver and divided it into two parts of 1000 taels. Among them, 1000 taels were sent to the border town, and the other 1000 taels were given to my husband and sixth brother. , Fifth Sister, and Sixth Sister.” Even though this statement was slightly different from the big house’s distribution of dividends that day, Su Yunduo was extremely calm in the face of Xiao Xu’s questioning eyes.

Anyway, she and Lu Jinkang did not have a single penny. As for why they only explained that they would send 1000 taels to the border town without subdividing it, they just didn’t want Xiao Xu to be a hindrance, and she didn’t intend to show Xiao Xu any more the account book in her hand. necessary!

Sure enough, Xiao Xu was only slightly taken aback, pursed her lips, and did not express dissatisfaction with the 1000 taels sent to the border town. What made her dissatisfied was why Lu Yuya could also get 250 taels.

Su Yunduo looked at Xiao Xu indifferently.

The Duke of Zhen's Mansion has always been indiscriminate in some matters, especially when it comes to money. Mrs. Xu has been married into the Duke of Zhen's Mansion for more than ten years. How could she not know that Su Yunduo is too lazy to deal with her on this matter. Spend too much time talking.

The nanny standing behind Xiao Xu also kept reminding Xiao Xu that Xiao Xu had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction and asked Lu Jinhua and Lu Yujiao about the investment of this bonus.

"This is an agreement signed with the sixth younger brother, fifth younger sister, and sixth younger sister according to grandfather's wishes. Madam, let's talk about it after reading it." Su Yunduo really felt a little headache about Xiao Xu, so he simply followed Lu Mingyang's intention that day, The escrow agreement signed with Lu Jinhua, Lu Yujiao, and Lu Yuya was handed over to Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu read the agreement, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Because of this agreement, several small interests are guaranteed to the greatest extent. Although they can only get [-]% of the profits every year, they can guarantee the income in drought and flood.

It's just that, Su Yunduo's pigtails that he planned to catch could no longer be caught.

The goods that Su Yunduo bought from Beidi used Lu Jinhua's bonuses, but in fact they had nothing to do with Lu Jinhua and the others. If she continued to entangle, it would be harmful to Lu Mingyang and not beneficial to her.

Just letting Su Yunduo go like this, Xiao Xu felt that none of her goals had been achieved today. Su Yunduo made her feel uncomfortable, and she wanted to add some obstacles to Su Yunduo no matter what.

So his eyes lingered on Su Yunduo's abdomen for a moment, and he chuckled and said, "You and Brother Kang have been married for half a year, why haven't there been any news? Brother Kang is the only flesh and blood of my eldest sister left in this world!"

Su Yunduo couldn't help laughing in his heart, but his face was still calm, he glanced at Xiao Xu and said: "I have only been married to my husband for half a year, don't worry!"

"How can we not be in a hurry?! Brother Kang is my eldest sister's only flesh and blood left in this world!" Xiao Xu felt that she had finally caught Su Yunduo's weakness, and glared at Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo couldn't help but hehe in his heart, it turned out that Xiao Xu still remembered that Lu Jinkang was the only flesh and blood left in the world by Da Xu!

If it's true that sisterly love is so deep, after Qi Sisi insisted on retiring, why didn't he find a marriage for Lu Jinkang?
Of course, if this is the case, Su Yunduo will not question Xiao Xu face to face. After all, Xiao Xu is her elder, and this place is not modern, but it is okay to add trouble to Xiao Xu in turn: "Madam also entered the mansion for two years. I just became pregnant later, and I’ve only been married for half a year, so I can’t be in a hurry. As the saying goes, fate is also important for children, so what if they are born without fate?”

Su Yunduo's words made Xiao Xu angry. When she first entered the Zhen Guo Mansion, she was not treated well by Lu Da. Even though she was the official wife, Lu Da seldom entered her room for a month.

It took her two full years to heat up Lu Da's heart, otherwise she might not be able to conceive a child in ten or eight years, let alone two years!
This matter is indeed not a secret in the mansion, it is not surprising that Su Yunduo knows, but how could she, how could she poke her heart like this!
Thinking of the pair of sons and daughters who are not close to her now, Xiao Xu feels even more sad.

She never expected that she wanted to make things difficult for Su Yunduo, but she was the one who made things difficult for Su Yunduo, and she was gasping for breath.

In the past few days, Xiao Xu's body has been a little uncomfortable, and now she is a little out of breath. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed out of breath. Passing water is smooth again.

Su Yunduo never thought that a few words would make Xiao Xu so angry, and she never thought that Xiao Xu would get a bad reputation anyway, so she sighed helplessly and signaled Ziyue to let people go back. The mansion asked the mansion doctor to come over to see Mrs. Xu.

When little Xu's breath became calmer, Su Yunduo frowned and looked at the nurse who was helping little Xu and asked, "Madam is not feeling well, did you ask the doctor to come and see?"

The nanny nodded quickly, but looked at Mrs. Xu in embarrassment. She wanted to say something but looked a little embarrassed. Seeing that Mrs. Xu didn't intend to stop her, she said: "Of course I invited a doctor, it's just the conditions in the family temple. After all, it is limited, and the medicinal materials are also somewhat lacking, so the recovery will be slower."

Su Yunduo's brows couldn't help but frowned even tighter. The conditions of the family temple are limited?Lack of medicinal materials?

She remembered very clearly that the mansion would allocate a sum of money to the family temple every month.

Since Xiao Xu entered the family temple, the funds have increased by almost [-]%.

Now there is only Xiao Xu's master living in the family temple. When Xiao Xu entered the family temple last time, An's allocated a large amount of funds to carry out necessary repairs on the family temple.

Now the funds allocated by the government to the family temple are enough for the family temple's expenses, so how could it be that the conditions are limited and the medicinal materials are lacking?

This matter needs to be investigated carefully. Although Xiao Xu is locked up in the family temple, she still has the name of praying for blessings, and her identity is also the wife of the Duke of Zhen.

If Mammy's words are true, it will not only be misunderstood by people as the Zhen Guo government's mistreatment of the little Xu family who "voluntarily" prayed for the family, but it will also become an ironclad proof of Su Yunduo's incompetence in housekeeping.

Ziyue acted quickly, and went straight back to the mansion to invite the mansion doctor.

When the government doctor was seeing Mrs. Xu, Ziyue approached Su Yunduo and whispered something in Su Yunduo's ear.

Su Yunduo nodded slightly, whispered a few words to Ziyue, and Ziyue left again.

Watching Ziyue leave, Su Yunduo's attention returned to the government doctor, who gave Xiao Xu a pulse and prescribed a prescription.

Su Yunduo took the prescription and took a cursory look, and knew that it was just the most common prescription for treating colds and colds. The main medicinal materials were honeysuckle and forsythia.

Honeysuckle clears heat and detoxifies, cools away wind-heat, and is widely used clinically to treat wind-heat and cold.

Forsythia also clears heat and detoxifies, reduces swelling and dissipates stagnation, and evacuates wind-heat. It is mainly used to treat colds, clear heat and detoxify.

Because Xiao Xu's cough produced phlegm, the government doctor added almonds, pinellia, tangerine peel and other medicinal materials that have the effect of relieving cough and asthma.

If Xiao Xu takes the medicine according to the prescription, within five days, her cough will basically be cured.

Su Yunduo returned the prescription to the government doctor, and asked the government doctor to dispense the medicine from the government house and send it to the family temple, then looked at Xiao Xu and said: "Since Madam is not feeling well, you should rest in peace, and don't worry about those who have nothing. Yes. Think about the sixth brother and fifth sister, madam should also take care of her body."

All that should be said was said, and all that should be done was done. Just in time to see Ziyue came back, Su Yunduo didn't stay any longer, and told the nurse next to Xiao Xu, and left the reception room.
