The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 726

Zheng Daniu's family arrived in the capital as scheduled, and they haven't seen each other for almost three years. Zheng Daniu is much more energetic than before, and Zheng's mother is no longer ill, obviously she is well taken care of.

The 12-year-old Zheng Xiaoqian has also grown up gradually, and she is no longer the thin, sallow and emaciated little girl, but she still looks a little shy.

Zheng Daniu's new wife is the homecoming daughter of Heli from the Liu clan, named Liu Rumei, who was married before Su Yunduo crossed over. When she and Li returned to Geshan Village, Su Yunduo's family had already come to the capital, so Su Yunduo had a good relationship with Liu Rumei. I really don't have any impression.

However, Liu Rumei's memory of Su Yunduo's family is still fresh. It is said that she once embroidered with Ning Shi for a few days, and Ning Shi taught her to embroider the wedding dress when she got married that day.

Su Yunduo asked the housekeeper to arrange for Zheng Daniu's family to temporarily live in the back street of Zhen Guogong's mansion for a few days, firstly, to let the old and young of this family enjoy the hardships of traveling long distances, and secondly, because of something It will take some time to discuss with Zheng Daniu in detail.After she has communicated with Zheng Daniu, let Zheng Daniu have a basic understanding of the property in her hands, and let her see Zheng Daniu's growth in the past few years, so as to make a positioning for Zheng Daniu, and then arrange the whereabouts of this family.

This process is not difficult to say, but it also made Su Yunduo use a lot of brains.

After getting along for a few days, Su Yunduo felt that Zheng Daniu had indeed grown a lot in the past three years, and what made her even more delighted was that she wrote back last year and only mentioned some specious ideas about water planting. On the lake, there are several kinds of vegetables grown on the water, which are said to be more juicy and tender than those grown in the ground.

"Because of inexperience, I tried many kinds of floating beds that can only float on the water, and many jokes were made during the process. It took almost a month to try the floating bed successfully.

There were a lot of jokes during planting. The biggest joke was that the seeds were scattered directly on the floating bed, and all the seeds leaked into the lake. Later, the seedlings were raised on land by transplanting, and then the seedlings were moved to the floating bed.

I just tried for almost a year and only tried to grow water spinach, water celery and arrowhead mushrooms on the water bed of the lake. "After finishing speaking, Zheng Daniu touched his head in embarrassment.

Although Zheng Daniu spoke lightly, and even laughed at himself from time to time, Su Yunduo knew that he must not suffer a lot during the period.

Since it is possible to successfully grow aquatic vegetables in Geshan Village, the success rate of aquatic planting in this relatively southern capital should be higher.

Su Yunduo's water planting is not only vegetables, but also flowers and medicinal materials. She already has some basic ideas in her heart. Now with Zheng Daniu's blessing, the possibility of success is even higher.

After Zheng Daniu was instructed by Su Yunduo in this way, he suddenly felt enlightened, and he couldn't stay in the city for only a few days, so he took the initiative to ask Su Yunduo to go to the village as soon as possible.

Su Yunduo didn't deliberately try to keep him, after all, she asked Zheng Daniu to come to the capital to make good use of the resources in her hands.

This time Zheng Daniu came to the capital together with two fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys. They are cousins, and both are Zheng Daniu's distant nephews. The older one is Zheng Youbin, who is 17 years old this year, and the other is Zheng Haibin. 15 years old.

With the increase of the population, the water surface of Rhinoceros Village gradually became insufficient. However, the two boys had many brothers in their family. The two were neither old nor young.

But they were born in Rhino Village and the head of Rhino Village. They have been exposed to water and fish since they were young, and they don’t know how to do other farming. They ran outside for a lot of days, and finally they couldn’t find enough work. I thought of Zheng Daniu who managed the artificial lake for the Su family in Geshan Village.

Although Zheng Daniu is a manager in Geshan Village, he is just a long-term worker. He does have some authority to employ people, but he only has the right to hire a short-term worker occasionally. Those who want to stay for a long time like this, Zheng Daniu has no power.

Zheng Daniu was a little embarrassed, and finally his newly married wife Liu Rumei made a suggestion, asking him to go directly to the old doctor Kong to ask, it would be best if he could succeed, and if he couldn't, he would also have an explanation to the villagers.

Mother Zheng agreed with Liu Rumei's suggestion very much, if other people in the village came to her, Mother Zheng would not talk about it.

It's just that these two families reached out to help them when Zheng's father passed away and Zheng's mother was seriously ill.

So Zheng Daniu found the old doctor Kong who was in charge of the Su family's management, and told the old doctor about the situation of the two boys. He only said that the two boys wanted to work in Geshan Village, but didn't say much else.

The Su family's artificial lake has always been relatively short of manpower. Since these two boys are from Rhinoceros Village, the old doctor Kong welcomes them, but he still asked Zhang Zhong to come forward to inspect the two boys.

Passing through Zhang Zhong's hometown, I found that although these two boys are not very old, they are not only good at water, but also have some ideas about raising fish and shrimps. Anyway, the Su family's lake is also in need of manpower, so they kept these two boys. Raising fish and growing vegetables with Zheng Daniu really did a lot of things and helped a lot.

This time Su Yunduo wrote back to the dignitaries of Geshan Village, Zheng Daniu simply brought them to the capital together.

As for Geshan Village, with Zhang Zhong around and the manpower recruited from Rhinoceros Village this year, there will be no shortage of manpower.

Before sending Zheng Daniu's family to the "Lotus Garden" for resettlement, Su Yunduo signed a new employment contract with Zheng Daniu, Zheng Youbin, and Zheng Haibin. This time, the three signed contracts that lasted ten years.

Before the two parties signed the contract, Zheng Daniu looked at Su Yunduo several times before he hesitated to speak, presumably he had some small thoughts of his own.

Su Yunduo saw Zheng Daniu's hesitant words in his eyes, and also had some guesses about Zheng Daniu's petty thoughts in his heart. It must have something to do with Liu Rumei and Zheng Xiaoqian, so he specially put Zheng Daniu's contract at the end.

Sure enough, after Zheng Youbin and Zheng Haibin signed the contract and left, Zheng Daniu looked at Su Yunduo with some trepidation and said, "Su Gu... oh, Mrs.... Mrs., I have an unwelcome feeling, and I want to help Xiaoqian. Find an errand with the eldest lady."

Zheng Daniu finally uttered his thoughts, which made Su Yunduo heave a sigh of relief. Before that, Su Yunduo had thought about how to arrange Zheng Xiaoqian. It might be impossible to stay by her side to serve her. After all, the people who served her were all sold out. Although she is a servant, but she has a lot of property in her hands, it is not difficult to arrange a suitable job for Zheng Xiaoqian.

But if Zheng Daniu doesn't mention it, then she can only regretfully let Zheng Xiaoqian follow Zheng Daniu to the "Lotus Garden" for resettlement.

Now that Zheng Daniu brought it up, Su Yunduo pondered for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate to serve by my side. I'm surrounded by prostitutes. I can't let Xiaoqian fall into slavery, but I can let her go with Zisu." Yunshang' is on an errand, I wonder if you would like it?"

Zheng Daniu was taken aback for a moment, he naturally recognized Zisu, she was Su Yunduo's earliest maidservant who was also most used by Su Yunduo, letting Zheng Xiaoqian work with Zisu as an errand was a kindness to Zheng Xiaoqian.

But Zisu is just a maid after all, can Zheng Xiaoqian really learn what they want Zheng Xiaoqian to learn by following her?

It's not that Zheng Daniu has too much heart, since the family left their hometowns and came to the capital to pursue their careers, they naturally hope that their children will have a good home.

It's just that Zheng Xiaoqian is already 12 years old, and she doesn't have much time to study. If she wants to find a good marriage, it's best to be with Su Yunduo.

When he was in Geshan Village, he had heard that Zisu was originally the son of Zhen Guogong's family. Why he became Su Yunduo's maid was not very clear, but Zisu could become the first person in front of Su Yunduo. In the end, Su Yunduo entrusted her with an important task, so she must have her merits, but compared to Su Yunduo, let alone Zheng Daniu, no one can understand the gap between the two.

But Su Yunduo has made it clear that the maidservants around her are all slaves. Could it be that just because Zheng Xiaoqian is with Su Yunduo, Zheng Xiaoqian will be enslaved?
But Zheng Daniu was really unwilling to let Zheng Xiaoqian work with Zisu.

Su Yunduo could see the entanglement in Zheng Daniu's heart, and she was not disgusted with Zheng Daniu's little thoughts.

If Zheng Daniu doesn't think about Zheng Xiaoqian at all, then she is really disappointed with Zheng Daniu. She can understand Zheng Daniu's entanglement, and naturally she won't urge Zheng Daniu to make a decision immediately. Anyway, Zheng Daniu and the others will leave tomorrow "Heyuan", it is better to let him go back and discuss with his wife and daughter before making a decision.

Su Yunduo thought that Zheng Daniu's family would at least consider discussing it for an hour or two. Unexpectedly, not long after she returned to Xiaofengyuan, Zheng Xiaoqian came to Xiaofengyuan accompanied by Zheng's mother and Liu Rumei, and expressed her willingness to work with Zisu.

There seemed to be some hesitation between Mother Zheng and Liu Rumei's eyebrows, but the little girl's attitude was very firm.

It seemed that the little girl seemed weak and shy, but she was quite decisive in her bones, which made Su Yunduo look up to her two points, and Zisu pulled Zheng Xiaoqian aside to talk.

The two knew each other, although they didn't spend much time together in Geshan Village, Zisu also mentioned Zheng Xiaoqian a few times when she first arrived in Geshan Village.

Now that Zheng Xiaoqian has made a decision, Su Yunduo is naturally happy to see it come to fruition, and handed over a contract that had been drawn up to Zheng Xiaoqian: "Since Xiaoqian has made up his mind, let's make a decision like this. Come on, let's take a look at this contract together." Employment contract. If there is no problem, Xiaoqian will sign here and press her thumbprint.

Tomorrow Xiaoqian will have a day off, and she will send her family to the "Lotus Garden" to resettle, and recognize the door of the new home. From the next day, she will work with Zisu, take a day off every ten days, and get together to rest every month. The specific rest time needs to be approved by Zisu. "

Zheng Xiaoqian nodded again and again, she read this contract seriously to Mother Zheng and Liu Rumei, both of whom were illiterate.

After Zheng Xiaoqian finished reading the contract, Mother Zheng's eyes welled up with tears, and Liu Rumei looked at Su Yunduo with gratitude in her eyes.

Although this is only a five-year employment contract, as long as Zheng Xiaoqian makes no mistakes, the five-year contract expires and can be renewed first.

That is to say, after five years, if Zheng Xiaoqian is willing to stay in "Yunshang", Su Yunduo will still provide Zheng Xiaoqian with job opportunities.

"Please don't worry, master. I will definitely learn from Sister Zisu and never let master down." After signing her name and pressing her handprint, Zheng Xiaoqian solemnly looked at Su Yunduo to express her determination.

Su Yunduo smiled sweetly, reached out and touched Zheng Xiaoqian's head, and asked the three of them to go back to clean up first, and she would personally take them to the "Lotus Garden" for resettlement tomorrow morning.

When Zheng Daniu and his party arrived at the "Heyuan", they were immediately shocked by the "Heyuan". At first they thought that even if it was a lake in the suburbs of the capital, it was only a pond at most, and it might not be half as big as the artificial lake in Geshan Village. Unexpectedly, this lake seems bigger and more beautiful than the artificial lake in Geshan Village.

When Su Yunduo came here today, in addition to arranging Zheng Daniu and his party, she also had to go to the vegetable farm, so she didn't let Zheng Daniu have too much time to be shocked. , Ziyue helped Zheng's mother and Liu Rumei to pack their luggage, and she brought Zheng Daniu, Zheng Youbin, and Zheng Haibin to meet with the Zhuangzi's head and various managers.

This Zhuangzi has no shortage of people who can raise fish, but before this Zhuangzi raised mostly ornamental fish, which were much more delicate than Zheng Daniu's uncle and nephew, so it was not of much use to Su Yunduo.

Before coming to the "Lotus Garden", Su Yunduo had the necessary communication with Zheng Daniu. The meeting this time was a collision between Yangchun Baixue and Xialiba people, and sparks flew everywhere.

Although Zheng Daniu and his nephew are newcomers, because they know Su Yunduo's expectations for this Zhuangzi, everything is in line with Su Yunduo's ideas. , there is no disadvantage at all, and there is even a tendency to stabilize the pressure.

Even so, Su Yunduo, as the master, naturally wanted to show his position.

She glanced at everyone coldly, and slowly said: "When Shizi and I came over a few days ago, I have already explained this matter to you, but what is disappointing is that you didn't understand it deeply.

Today I repeat again, 'He Yuan' is no longer the old lotus appreciator, and you are no longer the slaves of the Grand Princess' Mansion.

Today I will give everyone half an hour to think about it.

No matter who it is from Yan Zhuang, if you don't want to stay here and continue to work, come here within half an hour and tell me, take your own contracts and leave immediately.

If you continue to stay here, please keep in mind that from now on, you will be the servants of me and your son, and you should obey my and my son's wishes and obey my and my son's arrangements.

After today, if someone continues to talk about the previous way of doing things in the eldest princess's mansion, they will be severely punished. At that time, don't blame me and the son for being cruel and ruthless and directly selling people to the mines as coolies.

Yan Zhuangtou, go get someone to inform you.There is only half an hour, everyone thinks clearly! "

Su Yunduo's words made everyone look at each other in blank dismay. These people had dealt with Su Yunduo before, and they always thought that Su Yunduo was easier to get along with than Lu Jinkang. Now they know that it's not like the family doesn't come into the house.

Half an hour passed, but no one came to resign, which surprised Su Yunduo.

She understood very well in her heart that the fact that no one quit their jobs does not mean that everyone is convinced, but unless they keep restraining their small thoughts, the fox will show its tail, and there is always a chance to scare the chickens and monkeys!

Before leaving the "Lotus Garden", Su Yunduo solemnly announced to Yan Zhuangtou and all the managers: "Zheng Daniu is an expert in surface aquaculture, and he will be the general manager of surface aquaculture in the future. He will be directly managed by me and my son. All matters are subject to Zheng Daniu's command."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at everyone gravely, making everyone including Yan Zhuangtou tremble in their hearts. Even if they had any small thoughts, they put them away one after another. Although the new master is young, he is really Not a fool.
