The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 52

Kang Guangshou really felt that the eldest girl from the Xie family was a wonderful person, no matter how many benefits he got from her, he finally found out that he was the one who suffered the most.

The last time I bought a thousand bolts of cotton cloth, it hasn't been a few months, so I came here to ask for a name.He is a majestic magistrate, and sometimes he has the illusion that the other party treats him like a servant.But people said it nicely, knowing that the county magistrate is a Wenqu star descended from the sky, and admired the talent of the county magistrate, so I came here to ask for a name.This humble appearance of Liu Fugen made it impossible for Kang Guangshou to refuse.

Liu Fugen returned to Xie's house from the county government office, and happily lowered the piece of paper that Kang Guangshou had proposed for the young master of Xie's family today in front of Xie Yujiao.

"Chengde... what kind of virtue do you have? You still expect the Xie family to donate money!" Xie Yujiao said the first one, and her brows knit together.

Liu Fugen was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head. Fortunately, Xu Yuxing was also there. After listening to it, he said: "There is an allusion, which comes from "Hanshu • Liyuezhi" 'Chaofu becomes a teacher, and the military minister Chengde'."

Liu Fugen listened and nodded blindly.Xie Yujiao let out the name, and directly missed the name, and glanced back, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she just handed it over to Xu Yuxing for a look, and said, "Look, uncle, how about Chaozong?"

Xie Yujiao didn't know the origin of this Chaozong, but thought that the birth of this little baby could be said to be a blessing from the ancestors, so that Chaozong could speak eloquently and be educated.

Xu Yuxing only lowered his head and thought for a moment, then smiled, and said, "Mianbo Liushui, the dynasty is in the sea, this means that the sea is inclusive of all rivers, and it is indeed a good name."

Xie Yujiao blinked, raised her head and asked Xu Yuxing, "Uncle, is there a source for this sentence?"

Xu Yuxing said with a smile: "It's natural, this sentence is from "The Book of Songs Xiaoya"."

Xie Yujiao curled her lips when she heard this, and said with a slight smile on her face, "Master Kang is really interesting. Asking him to choose a name is like dropping a book bag."

Xu Yuxing knew that although Xie Yujiao was joking, but remembering that Kang Guangshou was a parent official, he naturally wanted to be a little dignified, so he said in a deep voice: "Jiaojiao, don't be rude, Mr. Kang is very knowledgeable, and these names have provenances, which means that he used them. Concerned."

Although Xie Yujiao is usually very powerful, she still looks like a child in front of Xu Yuxing, she just smiled and said: "Uncle is also very knowledgeable, don't you know everything!"

Xu Yuxing just lowered his eyebrows and smiled, thinking that he also studied hard for more than ten years and relied on being a scholar. Later, when his father was promoted, something happened to his family, and he failed the exam. I decided to continue the exam.Knowing that something happened, Jujia came to Jiangning, and has been working as a long-term worker in Xie's house since then.

After dinner in the evening, Xie Yujiao told Xu the name Xie Chaozong. Since it was the name given by the county magistrate, Xu was naturally very happy, but she was happy in her heart, and she kept calling it "Baby, Baby, Baby", so The whole family followed suit.Even when Xie Yujiao usually asks, she always asks: Is my baby doing well today?How many times have you drank milk?How many times did you pee again?

Seeing that she likes children so much, Mrs. Xu thought about waiting until she became a filial piety. Xie Yujiao will be 17 years old.

The days are going well, and it will be the end of the year in a blink of an eye. Although Master Xie has gone this year, after all, the Xie family also has the joy of having a baby.Xie Yujiao just had a knife mouth tofu heart for a while, and did not hold back the uncles and relatives in the clan. In addition to the oil, salt and rice that should have been in previous years, each household gave a horse of Hangzhou silk.

In two days' time it will be New Year's Eve, and Shen Shihu is in the outer courtyard helping Mr. Kong, the accountant, to distribute things. Xie Yujiao takes advantage of this time to clear up the accounts, and then they can close the account and celebrate a safe year.The two butlers watched Xie Yujiao's abacus dialing, and neither of them dared to speak loudly. They just waited quietly in the study. After Xie Yujiao dipped in the ink and filled in the last number, he put down the brush. Then he said: "Miss, you asked me to check a few days ago. Now there are elderly people over 70 years old in Xie's house. I have already counted them. There are 43 homes in total, three of which are refugees who came last year."

Xie Yujiao recorded while listening, there are more than 200 households in Xiejiazhai, a total of only 43 households have elderly people over 70 years old, which shows the bottom of the ancient life expectancy.Xie Yujiao sighed, raised her eyes and said: "For each of the 43 households, prepare five catties of fine rice, five catties of oil, and one catty of sugar, and order them to be delivered to them, saying that our Xie family is dedicated to respecting the elderly, and let them take care of themselves." To be filial to the elderly is to be filial."

Tao Laixi still has his father and mother in his family, and they happen to be in these 43 households. After hearing this, he was only happy and said: "Missy is doing good deeds, and the slave's parents want to bless the young lady in front of the Buddha every day." gone."

Xie Yujiao jokingly said, "Boss, don't laugh at me, I know that my reputation is bad enough now, so I have to spend some money to buy a good reputation."

Tao Laixi knew that Xie Yujiao was self-effacing, but the kind-hearted girl always said this, which made people feel even more uneasy, so she just smiled and said, "The few pieces of land we bought in Jiangjia Village last time, how about None of the tenants nearby did not say that the eldest lady is good, and that our Xie family has less rent, less taxes, and gifts during New Years and festivals. Compared with being a tenant of the Jiang family, I don’t know how much more comfortable it is. I heard that Jiang Guosheng is dead, but there are still people in Jiangjia Village singing and dancing! Everyone praises the girl as the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who lives and saves the suffering."

Xie Yujiao usually hears some rumors, but it's not as good as what Tao Laixi said. Generally, most of them say this: that girl from the Xie family is very powerful, she killed the surnamed Jiang alive, and she can't offend anyone. Offend her, otherwise you won't know how you died!

After Tao Laixi reported his work, it was Liu Fugen's turn. With a long smiling face, Liu Fugen looked more respectable than before. After all, he was going to deal with the county government on behalf of Xie's family.

"Miss, the magistrate of the county said that our Xie family is the first big rent-paying household in Jiangning County this year, and that our family will be commended next year. He also said that everyone should follow our family's example and pay the rent on time without delay. Let the government do better."

This year's grain harvest is bumper, and there is not enough storage in Xie's house, and Xie Yujiao is afraid that the autumn rain will wet the grain, so all those that have to be handed over to the yamen are not put into the warehouse, and they are directly sent to the yamen after being weighed at the warehouse door. The landlord's family has not yet received the food in the warehouse, and the Xie family's rent has been paid in full.With the Xie family's speed, it's strange that Kang Guangshou is unhappy.

Xie Yujiao just nodded, then remembered something, and asked Tao Laixi, "Master, I heard that besides our Xie's house, the warehouses in several villages are leaking, and the snow is heavy this year. Is it on the roof?"

Tao Laixi only nodded when he heard the words: "It's all arranged, and someone is specially arranged to take care of the warehouse. Originally, when the master was here, all these grains would be transported to Xie's house. To be honest, I went to steal food, but this year’s harvest was good, I saw that there was not enough food, and it was a waste of manpower to transport it on the road, so I simply found a reliable person in each village to watch the warehouse. Be sure to see Mars and ensure that the food is safe."

Xie Yujiao saw that Tao Laixi was working in the old city, so she felt relieved. First, the grain was to be saved for next year when it was green and yellow, and secondly, it was the grain for next year. Farming is a big deal.

Xie Yujiao didn't recognize five grains before, but now she knows the truth about harvesting rice in autumn and wheat in summer.

In the past, the outside business had a lot of income, and Mr. Xie never expected to make much profit in the field of renting land. But recently, the fighting in the north has become more and more fierce. Xie Yujiao understands that food is the foundation.

After finishing the work, Xie Yujiao sent the two housekeepers away, and finished the work in hand, and stayed in the main room, teasing the baby while talking to Mrs. Xu.I saw the old woman walking in with a smile on her face, and when she saw Xie Yujiao, she just said, "Miss, go out and have a look. There are a large group of old men and women kneeling at the door, who say they are here to kowtow to the girl."

Xie Yujiao was shaking Chaozong in her arms at this time, causing Chaozong to spit bubbles happily. Hearing that someone kowtowed outside, she handed the child to Mrs. Xu, who only asked, "What's the matter? What are those old men and women doing here?"

Xie Yujiao then told Tao Laixi what she had told Tao Laixi today. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu just chanted Amitabha and said with a smile, "It's hard for you to think of these things, even your father didn't think of them."

Xie Yujiao also felt a little embarrassed when she heard Xu's praise of herself in this way, she just smiled and said: "I see that they are old now and can't go down to the land. They must have been old tenant farmers of our Xie family when they were young. , we can’t ignore them now that we’re older.”

In ancient times, there was no social security system. When you get old and can’t do farm work, it means you have to start a child. Fortunately, the people in the area around Xie’s house are simple and honest, and I haven’t heard of any abuse of parents. Xie Yujiao Sometimes I would go out and walk in the small alleys of the village, looking at those old people, I felt a little bit unbearable, so I took advantage of the Chinese New Year to have a little fun, and it was considered my contribution.

"Then you go out quickly. They are old, and it is not easy to travel this way. You can see them so that they can go home earlier."

Xie Yujiao nodded, and deliberately went to the dressing table in the room to look in the mirror, saw that she was well-dressed, and then went out with her mother-in-law.

Seeing Xie Yujiao like this, Mrs. Xu felt indescribably happy, hugged Xie Chaozong and said, "Little darling, when you grow up, you will be like your father and sister, do more good deeds, be filial to the elderly, you know?" ?”

Xie Chaozong is only a little over a month old now, so it’s strange to understand, but he is a very good listener now, anyway, no matter what the adults tell him, he just spit out a few bubbles and it’s over. = =
