Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 512 The Position
This time Guan Wen went smoothly, Guan Wu and Feng Defa were by his side, the three took care of each other, nothing happened.

The three men came back all smiling.

"How much did you get?" Xing'er asked, "Look at you one and two are happy."

Guan Wen handed over a bag of silver to Li Xin.

"The magistrate of the county didn't show up, the master gave the money, and he even apologized to the elder brother." Guan Wu said carelessly, "I'm sorry for saying that it happened last time, so don't take it to heart. This time I got the money, And let the elder brother take care of it, it can be used."

Li Xin opened the small bag and found several large silver ingots.

"Isn't that a lot?"

"Shall I go get a steelyard to weigh?" Xing'er said,

"Don't weigh it, Ah Wen, how much money is here?" Li Xin held Xing'er to sit obediently, and asked Guan Wen.

Guan Wen made a "three" and came out.

Xing'er suddenly covered her mouth.

"Ten taels?"

Guan Wen nodded.

Guan Wu snorted and laughed twice: "Master said, originally it was 200 taels, but the county magistrate allocated an extra 100 taels to us from his own pocket, so that we can heal the wounded... It sounds nice to say it. Very, very much counting on us to accept his love!"

Li Xin smiled lightly.

When she caught the shooter by accident, the county magistrate set up a den of human traffickers based on this line. She still remembers clearly that the county magistrate gave her 100 taels at that time.

Now he helped the yamen catch the thieves, but the county magistrate only gave 200 taels, and the other 100 taels also excused that it was taken from his pocket.

Sure enough, when people encounter greater interests, they are eager to fill their own pockets.The money allocated by the imperial court was peeled off layer by layer, and as many as 300 taels fell into their hands, she had to call Amitabha.

Guan Wen said: "I also told my teacher about the plaque. The teacher went to ask the county magistrate what he meant, and the county magistrate agreed. The plaque came from him. When the plaque was finished, he was directly carried to the shop. go."

"That's fine."

Li Xin nodded, pushed the small bag out, and said, "Then Ah Wen, share the money with your second brother and Brother Feng."

"Sister-in-law Guan, you can't do this!"

Feng De hurriedly tweeted: "I, I didn't do anything..."

"Brother Feng, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, I would have been hacked by the thieves." Li Xin smiled and said, "The three of you also went to get the money together, so naturally you should get the money together. Master Jiang rescued me." Leave 100 taels for him, and the remaining 200 taels, 70 taels for the two of you is just right. After dividing it, we can set up dishes for dinner."

When Li Xin opened his mouth, Guan Wen naturally had no objection, and quickly divided up the money.

"Sister-in-law Guan, Master Jiang's share is fine, but this way..." Feng Defa hurriedly shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law Guan also knocked down a lot of thieves, even if the remaining share, it should be four people's share." That's right..."

Guan Wen glanced at Li Xin and said with a smile, "That's exactly the reason."

Then divide the 200 taels into four parts.

"Fifty for one person, that's fine."

"appropriate!"

Feng Defa nodded and took his 50 taels.

"Thank you, Brother Guan, Sister Guan."

"What Brother Feng said, you deserved it."

Guan Wu grinningly nodded and echoed, "Sister-in-law is right, we all deserve it."

Guan Wu stuffed the money into Xing'er's arms: "Daughter-in-law, it's ready!"

Xing'er glared at him: "You're happy to get the money, so why don't you rush to pay back what you owe to your elder brother and sister-in-law?"

"Oh yes yes yes..."

Guan Wu patted his forehead, took the silver and put it in front of Li Xin, scratched his head and said: "I borrowed so much money from my elder brother and sister-in-law, now I can finally pay it off."

Li Xin was also polite, nodded and said: "Second brother, don't panic, I have the money in mind."

Guan Wu then laughed: "Sister-in-law is a person who settles accounts clearly, and I don't feel tired dealing with her."

Each put the money away, and the whole family happily ate a meal together.

Guan Wu carried the sledgehammer and went to the stone field with Feng Defa. Li Xin also took Hong Huan for a walk in the village. Guan Wen said he had nothing to do and walked with Li Xin in the countryside.

On the way, Guan Wen told Li Xin his thoughts on the future.

"When the fur shop opens, I'll hire someone to guard it there. If you don't want to live in the town, I'll come back and stay here with you. We can buy land and a house when we have money. Hire long-term workers to do farming, rent out the house, and collect rent money every year. When you produce food, you eat it yourself, and store the rest in the granary..."

Li Xin laughed while listening.

"You think well, so you're sure you won't lose money? It's not so easy to be a relaxed behind-the-scenes owner. Before you settle accounts and pay taxes, you won't be allowed to rest for a year. "

Guan Wenle said: "Then you are still here to help? It would be good to hire an accountant or something."

Li Xin stroked Hong Huan's mane, Hong Huan snorted, and the horse's hooves fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

"If only I could live like this in the future..."

Guan Wen gave a low "hmm": "We are all working hard in that direction."

Li Xin nodded, but hesitated to speak.

Guan Wen suddenly asked her: "I came back this time, you still haven't said...how did Sun Xique spread nonsense about you?"

Li Xin paused and turned to look at Guan Wen.

Guan Wen also looked at her sideways, but his face was soft.

"You didn't tell me because you didn't want to upset me." Guan Wen said, "But how can I let my daughter-in-law be wronged for no reason?"

Li Xin said in a low voice: "She just has such a mouth... If you really care about her, it's a scholar who meets a soldier. It's justified. Why bother with her so much, it's just a mess... ..."

Guan Wen shook his head: "I don't deal with her directly, I can go to her father."

Li Xin suddenly looked up at him.

"If I don't act tough, she will think that you are really easy to bully, and let her say what is white or black." Guan Wen said: "I will go directly to Sun Pei this time to clarify with him, and ugly words will be fine. Tell him first, if he can't control his daughter's mouth, it's really my turn to teach her, it's not that simple."

On the country road, there are farmlands on the left and right sides. Some people are busy in the fields. When they see Guan Wen, they greet Guan Wen quickly, but when they see Li Xin, they just smile awkwardly.

Those who are familiar with him will ask: "Ah Wen, are you two out for a walk?"

There are also those who are surprised by Hong Huan and ask: "Where did this horse come from? Why haven't I seen it before!"

Like those who have a suspicion with Guan Wen, such as those who are related to the Hou family, they will walk around when they see them, and they can vaguely hear them muttering "incompatible", "not a good thing" and so on. Unspoken words.

Li Xin's hand holding Hong Huan's rein tightened.

"Ah Wen." Li Xin said suddenly, "You are now a hero in the eyes of the villagers."

Guan Wen was slightly taken aback, then suddenly laughed and said: "What kind of hero? If you really want to say that those thieves were subdued, wouldn't it still depend on your... what is the first style?" Guan Wen said: "This move is very easy to use. Yes, but if a man uses it, it will appear a little less open and aboveboard..."

Li Xin also smiled, and then the smile on his face froze for a while, and said, "That's not what I meant..."

Li Xin stopped in his tracks, looked at Guan Wen and said, "I mean, you are a hero in everyone's eyes right now, and my reputation is still in those words that Sun Xique slandered me."

Guan Wen's face suddenly showed pity.

"She said bad things about you and Master Jiang." Guan Wen asked, "What exactly did you say?"

Li Xin looked at the soil under his feet, sighed, and said, "What can I say? It's just those swear words..."

After a pause, Li Xin raised her head and looked at Guan Wen: "She found a maid who knew me before, and that maid is also at Sun's house at the moment. The gossiping lady came to the house, although Sun Hongyan chased her away in the end, but after she made such a fuss, everyone naturally dug up my affairs..."

Li Xin was very helpless: "I can't do anything about her..."

"What servant girl?" Guan Wen asked with a frown, "You used to be...the maid at that place?"

"Ah."

Li Xin responded in a low voice, without looking up at Guan Wen's expression, he said to himself: "That maid is not a bad person, she didn't know that she was used by Sun Xique. Actually, I don't know her very well, but In the past, she pitifully rescued her from the hand of the nanny once, and gave her a meal, and she always remembered it... After Sun Xique left that day, she came back to see me and asked me how I was doing. Listen She said that I was doing well, and she left. I haven’t heard people in the village say that she is saying anything bad about me these days, so she is also a poor person.”

Li Xin lowered his head, a sudden warmth came from his hands.

Guan Wen held her hand and stroked it lightly.

"Are you sad?"

Guan Wen held her hand in his palm, and he got closer to her.

"I heard you talking about that maid, and you are talking about her good. If possible, do you want to rescue her from the Sun family?" Guan Wen asked.

Li Xin smiled wryly: "How did you find out? If possible, I would like to do so."

Guan Wen laughed and said, "I have always thought that Xin Er is very kind."

Guan Wen tapped her head lightly: "When can I treat myself better?"

"Ai?"

Li Xin looked at Guan Wen suspiciously, and said puzzledly, "Where did I treat myself badly?"

"How can you treat yourself well?"

Guan Wen asked rhetorically, and said in a low voice: "If you treat yourself well, you don't need to worry about this or that. You can yell at you when you are unhappy, and you can copy a broom and beat someone when you are annoyed. Happy You can laugh when you eat something good, and you don’t mind spending money to buy it if you want to eat well... But no matter what you do, you think of others first. When do you think about yourself more, huh?"

Li Xin was a little embarrassed by Guan Wen's words: "How can I be like this?"

Guan Wen chuckled lightly, and didn't argue with her, he just said: "Anyway, you can live your life according to your own will in the future, we two don't need to be afraid of anything."

Guan Wen looked at the endless wheat field in the distance, and said, "I'll go to Sun's house to find Sun Pei later."
