Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 88

She put down her words and turned her head to go home. The family saw her go, Jin Li's parents sighed at his grandma and their son who was not up to par, and followed her with everyone else without looking back.Liu Tao's parents were not easy to intervene, so they could only follow along.

Liu Guangjun led the three of them and began to drive away the craftsmen. After driving the craftsmen away, they rushed into the house.Throw all the pots, pans, bedding, and pillows in the house to the river.

When Jin Sha came to stop her, she was kicked down by Ma Jinqiang. Grandma beat her with a walking stick, but Zhang Sheng snatched her, broke her with her knee, and threw her into the river.Throw out all the furniture with shrimps and marinated fish....

Grandma was so angry that she had no choice but to go back to the Jin Mansion to make a fuss. Liu Guangjun told Ma Jinqiang bitterly: "You and Ma Liu Jinwei follow the old woman back, guard the door of the Jin Mansion, if a man tries to break in, he kicks him out, and a woman If you insist on breaking through, you can fight back and throw it far away, and if you want to counterattack, you can say hello!"

The family followed Liu Tao back home, everyone sighed angrily, Liu Tao trembled and shed tears silently, the mother and Wu'er were too embarrassed to see the scene, and they didn't know where to persuade them, so they went out to cook silently .

After a while, grandma and the three of them howled from the side door, mixed with cursing after a while.After several times, they ran to the back door again.Father-in-law, mother-in-law and father were hesitant to speak to Liu Tao several times.

Liu Tao wiped away her tears, calmed down and said, "Grandfather and mother-in-law, she is an elder, it is not good to let them sleep in the open air, let them live in a hotel today, and buy them a house far away from here... …”

Although they are unreasonable, Jin Li's grandma is an elder, so she has to show face to her father-in-law and mother-in-law. The next day, Jin Li bought them a yard with two entrances, not far from the east side gate. The houses in the front and back can be used for people, and there are wing rooms in the yard where things can be stored, even if there are carriages and horses.Two hundred steps away from the river, fishing and shrimping are fully qualified.Of course, in order to prevent them from selling the house, the deed cannot be given to them.

Regarding Liu Tao's matter, Su Huanhe also came to comfort her.A few days later, Liu Tao's mood recovered, and she went to see the house in the vineyard. Liu Guangjun was still holding on to the house. She saw that after Jin Yang and Zhao Zhong led people to rescue them, all the pear trees that had not been completely dug up were gone. It was watered and soiled, and most of the roots were cut off, and they were tied to wooden sticks to support them firmly, but there was no sign of withering.

There is not one left inside the white lime line, and a large circle has been dug out outside the white line for the convenience of unloading bricks and tiles and building houses. One-third of an acre of pear trees.

Liu Tao asked Liu Guangjun angrily, "Uncle Liu, have they been here again these days?"

"Since I was driven away, I came back once, picked up the thrown things and never came back again!"

"Well, it's good, just come and drive them away, don't be polite to them..."

Jin Yang was talking to her, shifting her emotions: "Tao'er, look at our grapes are about to grow to a full length. According to the normal maturity period of grapes, our grapes bloom in mid-March, and now it's July. In the first ten days of the month, there will be another 20 days, and the ones that bloom first will be mature, how do you plan to sell them?"

"Although the eldest prince said that the royal family underwrote the sale, I am afraid that it will not work when the large batches mature. 37 mu of land is not a small amount."

"Do you know how many people there are in the capital alone? There are 7 to [-] people, and there are [-] to [-] people outside the capital. It's almost enough for one person to eat more than a dozen grains. Also, you don't let merchants go to such good grapes. Isn't it too little for overseas sales?"

"Well, that's the truth."

Jin Yan tried to say to her: "Tao'er, don't be angry if I tell you something... My brother, grandma, and the others have stopped fishing since they moved to the new house. The day before yesterday, my grandma was at the back door. I stopped my father, I don’t know where I found out that our salt field has not been sold, so I want to say that we will give him a salt field to operate, and give him the corresponding share, and we are not allowed to take a cut in the middle... , in that case, the new house will not be able to live. Guess what? I agreed on the spot."

At these words, Liu Tao's brows stood on end, and her silver teeth gritted: "You..." After a while, he laughed "puchi" again, and even bent down laughingly: "Brother Jinyang , I guess this is the case, I said you are good or bad, but I like it."

After Jin Yang agreed to give him the shares of Zhongxin Salt Farm, he didn't explain it to them, so they thought happily that it was Xiao Shunzi's salt farm.

Jin Yan first used a carrier pigeon to send a message to Lu Run, asking Lu Run to find them an inn in Liangshan Port, and then told him so and so....

Now Jinfu often has four carrier pigeons on standby. If they are missing after being released, the courier will immediately bring them back to Liangshan Port to make up for them. Everyone admires the method of carrier pigeon communication. Liangshan Port can receive it in about an hour, which is simple, fast and labor-saving.Liu Fugui and another servant were responsible for the training and guarding of the pigeons. No matter it was day or night, as long as the pigeons came back, they could take out the letter and hand it to Lu Run as soon as possible.

After sending the letter, Ma Jinqiang was asked to drive them to Liangshan Port in a two-wheeled carriage. The four of them thought they would get in a four-wheeled foreign carriage, but the difference between hope and reality was too great.They can't even enter the Jin Mansion, what else can they ask for extravagantly.Several people sat in the wooden carriage and bumped all the way. On the way, grandma and Jin Sha asked about the salt field, and Ma Jinqiang told him that the salt field was opened with the funds paid by Jin Yang, and of course Jin Yang's shares belonged to it.Jin Yang's young master gave all the shares to his brother, so you can be content, the young master said, if you are not used to it, you don't have to hand over the keys to the new house to the young master, and you can go back to live at any time.

The carriage entered Liangshan Port at noon the next day, and Lu Run's people were already waiting by the side of the road. The man's surname was Zhang, and he was an outfield manager of the warehouse. After Ma Jinqiang handed over his staff, he drove the carriage back alone. up.

The family settled down in the inn, and Jin Sha couldn't wait to ask Guan Zhang to lead him to the salt field. His shares are given to you, and you can deal with them as you like."

The owners of the twelve salt farms came to see the ceremony together, and Wang Hua introduced him to the past and present of the salt farm: "Jin Dong's family, your brother has already brought a message, saying that his shares are at your disposal. In the past, there were only 22 large pots in this salt farm. , Now it’s 200. If you don’t want to cook salt and work, you can get a dividend of three taels of silver a month. "

Jin Sha asked in confusion: "Is this the salt farm of my younger brother Jin Yang? Doesn't his salt farm use a large pot to boil salt?"

"Oh, Mr. Jin's family, you made a mistake. This is the salt farm that Mr. Jin Yang's family bought at the beginning. You said that you don't use a big pot to cook salt. That's called a salt farm. It's not the same thing as this..."

Jin Yang was cheated, and it was not easy to get angry in front of these people. In order to earn an extra two taels of silver a month, he had to share a big pot to cook the salt himself.Other shareholders who knew his details were pointing at him behind his back, and after working in such a smoky way for less than half a day, Jinsha felt ashamed.

He asked Wang Hua: "If you quit and take the shares, how much money can you get?"

"Well, what about this? It was 800 taels of silver at the beginning, and if it was divided among thirteen people, it was more than 60 taels per person. Later, a lot of things were added, and there was still a lot of money left on the cabinet. Is that so, everyone It can be divided into nearly 70 taels of silver. If you divide the shares, you can get it at 70 taels?"

"Well, I earn two or three taels of silver every month. This amount of money is too little for me. Why don't you settle the shares for me, and I'll use it to do some big deals that I can see."

"Okay then, I'll call all these shareholders and see what they say?"

The twelve shareholders were all here, and they all got the words that Jin Yang entrusted Lu Run to deliver on his behalf the first day.Everyone has heard the details of Jinsha for a long time. Seeing that he came to sell the shares that Jin Yanggang gave him today, everyone looked at him with contempt, but they all expressed that they had no opinion. Therefore, he withdrew cash from the counter Yin wrote down the paperwork and pressed his fingerprints, Jin Sha waved to them and went back to the pier.

Passing by a casino, Jinsha hadn't gambled for a long time, he was afraid of being underestimated by his grandmother and daughter-in-law, so he bravely walked through the door.After walking dozens of steps, the hustle and bustle of the gambling house could still be heard, his hands felt itchy gradually, and grass grew in his heart, as if he was being held back by an invisible thread.He entered the casino, and within an hour, he won 60 taels of silver.Seeing that it was dark and had enough gambling addiction, I went back to the inn in style.

Grandma asked him: "How about the place I went to see this day? Is the salt field good?"

He was in a good mood, and fooled them by saying, "The saltworks are huge. It's no problem to earn ten thousand taels of silver a year. Nuo, these are two silver bills of 50 taels each and some scattered silver that I received today. It’s a big bank note, I’ve kept it on the cabinet…”

The few people felt uneasy when they heard this, and the grandma shouted: "If the salt farm has a place to live, we don't need to live in the shop. How can outsiders manage the salt farm? If you lose one of so many bank notes, it will be a disaster. Tomorrow The two daughters-in-law are going together, and the family's money has to be watched closely."

The two also agreed, but Jinsha said that there was no spare accommodation in the salt field, and it would take some time to vacate the house.Looking at the scattered silver, Liu Jiaojiao quickly put it away.

The next day, Jin Sha still went to the casino. On the way, he worriedly touched the two silver bills of 50 taels in his pocket. Two silver bills can continue yesterday's glory.If the times come and go, it is better than being smoky in Yantian.

When exchanging the chips, he found that the two stacked together, the lower one was actually the same yellow paper as the paper of the bank note. It is estimated that Liu Jiaojiao secretly changed the post, so he didn't have time to get angry, so he immediately started gambling stand up.Today's luck is not as good as yesterday's. The first and second moves were good, but from the third move onwards, it went from bad to worse. As the chips increased, they lost 50 taels in less than an hour.
