Fiancee weak and unable to take care of herself?

Chapter 42 Koizumi Village ([-])
Hou Yi looked at Hu Da with hanging eyes, his already ugly face seemed to be even more vicious, just like in the picture book, next to the playboy, the dog's leg who is playing for the tiger.

Hu Da was intimidated by Hou Yi's actions. He was also from a nursing home, so he naturally knew that such a manipulative guard, even in the general's mansion, was an elite, and he was a sharp knife by the master's side.

But this kind of person usually appears around the general, but I didn't expect to see such a person beside the immature and reticent young lady.Hu Da glanced at the figure sitting behind the table, and looked at his young lady lightly, knowing that today he might not be able to fool her.At the moment, he no longer practiced Tai Chi with the young lady, but walked neatly towards the room where the account books were kept in the West Room.

He knew that the guards were not joking when they asked him, if he couldn't quickly take out the ledger, they would rush into every room and search for the ledger.If it really happened like that, his prestige will be discredited, no matter whether he is at fault or not, he will not be able to continue his job.

Putting a thick stack of ledgers on the table, Hu Da walked to the butler Lai Quanfu and stood still. Hou Yi in the yard took guards and stood behind the lady. Lai Quanfu stood on the left hand side of the lady, so as to be aware of the lady's needs at any time. The lady didn't say a word of instructions, but everyone consciously kept silent and waited in a polite manner.

Seeing the respectful and solemn crowd, the servants of Zhuangzi all walked lightly.Hu Da didn't dare to delay, so he went to the door to summon the farmer, and asked him to find his son, and gathered the tenants on the farm to come over as soon as possible, "Miss Master is here! Go!"

"Miss Master is here" is like "the wolf is coming", Su Zijin can hear the hurried footsteps outside the yard while looking at the ledger.

This yard was built for the main family to live in. Although it is the layout of an ordinary farmyard, it is much larger than the other yards.The main family lives in the middle, and the Hu family should live in the concierge or accompanying room.But as soon as they entered the yard, the Hu family came out of the main room and put the account book in the west wing of the main house. Su Zijin knew that although the Hu family still had the main house empty, the other rooms might be regarded as their own. up.

Su Zijin left the city early in the morning, and arrived at Xiaoquanzhuang just at the right time, just in time for Hu Da's family to get up early and have just had breakfast.

Su Zijin buried her head in looking at the ledger, writing and drawing on the new ledger from time to time. At this time, the sun was gradually rising, and the tenants in the village gradually gathered and stood still outside the Zhuangtou house.A child was curious, stretched his neck to look at the courtyard of the village, and asked curiously, "Who is this? I'm going to play!" But the adults covered their mouths and hissed and warned, "Shut up!" Although these tenants did not I have seen the master's house before, but I know that the courtyard is so solemn and dignified, more dignified than the county magistrate, it must be a big man, so not only I dare not move, but also restrain the children not to make a sound, not to move around.

"Father, the food is ready, tell the master to eat while it's hot!"

The lady Zhuangtou, who usually had a loud voice, also spoke with her voice suppressed at this time.

Hu Da waved his hand, let the lady go down first, and went to find Lai Quanfu by himself, "Butler, the meal is ready, Miss?"

Lai Quanfu waved his hand, "Miss doesn't like to give up halfway, let's just wait."

Su Zijin didn't raise his head until he had gone through the three ledgers at hand, looked at the sun, and then got up, "Let's go, meet the tenants first, it's almost time, everyone should go back time to eat."

Su Zijin walked out of the yard first, Lai Quanfu and Hou Yi followed closely from left to right, and Hu Da followed quickly with a nervous heart.

Su Zijin glanced at all the tenants, then turned to ask Hu Da, "How many tenants are there in Xiaoquan Village? How many people? Where do they come from?"

Hu Da hurried forward, "Miss, they are all villagers from nearby villages. They are villagers at the foot of the nearby Xiaoquan Mountain. Because the soil quality of Xiaoquan Mountain is not good, they are all willing to be tenants of big households in the city. Here, we mainly come from Zhaojiazhuang. There are ten households, 25 households in Fanjiazhuang, and 35 households in Tianjiazhuang. In addition to farming on weekdays, they also go to the mountains to take care of fruit trees and vegetables in their spare time."

Su Zijin looked over intently, and sure enough, these tenants were faintly divided into three parts, presumably based on the village.

"Everyone knows, whose property is this Koizumi Village?"

An old man with white beard and hair said, "It's General Su's Zhuangzi."

Su Zijin nodded, "That's right, it is the Zhuangzi of General Su, so that you can know that the Su family lives at the foot of the palace wall in the east of the capital. If someone bullies you in the future, just report to the Su family at the foot of the city wall." Of course, if there is no reason, you can’t bear the consequences. Well, I won’t say much about it. It’s noon, and you have to go back to cook and eat. Let’s just talk serious, you know Who owns the fertile land next to it? Are they self-cultivating or renting? How much is the rent?"

It was the same old man who stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your kindness. We are next to Uncle Anding's property. The tenants and we are both from the nearby villages. The rent is only [-]% less than ours, and [-]% less."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Hu Da couldn't help it anymore, "Hey, you old man Fan, why don't you say that we have this Xiaoquan Mountain, and you can get some extra wages every year! How many people around here are willing to pay Forty percent of the renters will be tenants of our Su family, if you are not satisfied, we will replace you!"

Hu Da blew his beard and stared, and finally there was a young man talking. Looking at his figure, he was as tough as Hu Da, only stronger than you, and Hu Da was fatter. He laughed and laughed, "Hey, Mr. Hu Zhuang , Fan Cun is just talking, we are far and wide, who doesn't envy us that we are members of the Su family?"

Only then did Hu Da's face soften, and he glanced at Su Zijin, "Miss, there's no need for you to tell the villagers to go to the house for help. They ask us, and we will do it according to our discretion."

Su Zijin nodded, and looked at Steward Lai, "Okay, it's almost time, Steward, take out the things for everyone to share. It's a rare time, everyone is happy,"

Under Hu Da's gaze, Lai Quanfu found a rattan frame from nowhere, and filled the rattan basket with the copper coins he brought.

"Folks, come quickly, the copper coins brought by the young lady are for everyone's favor!"

As the housekeeper of the Su Mansion, although Lai Quanfu is respectful in front of Su Zijin, he still looks dignified when he goes out. He is dressed in plain satin at this time, with a smile on his face but with grace, his head and face are neat, his teeth are clean, and he looks like a nobleman.Everyone didn't dare to come forward casually, but the children's eyes widened in excitement, and the restraint of their parents seemed to disappear at this time. These children took advantage of the opportunity to gather around a basket of copper coins, jumping and shouting for change.

Lai Quanfu said, "Line in line, send out when you're done!"

The tenants consciously lined up behind the children, and the guards in charge of distributing copper coins were extremely accurate, five children and ten adults.

"My elder brother went on a blind date, can I get one for him?"

A black-faced little doll said, and everyone laughed unconsciously.

"All of them, Mr. Hu Zhuang, you send someone over here, and if someone is missing, you will be sure to come. A lot of money will be given, and if anyone pretends to claim it, of course it will not work."

Su Zijin watched the crowd happily receive the money, and led them into the door.

"Let's eat."

At this moment, Hu Da let go of his worry, and followed the young lady into the courtyard, "Hey, Steward Lai, where did the guard leader go just now?"

He asked Hou Yi, butler Lai waved his hands with a smile, "He has friends nearby, so he must be visiting relatives and friends, right?"
