Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 580
After Cai Qing came back from the sea, the attitude of the Cai family changed drastically. It was too late for them to flatter, so how dare they stop their marriage?But things are unpredictable,
No one thought that Li Zhu would marry into the Chen family.

After speaking, Mrs. Lu took out the gifts from the two daughters, which were all small things like handkerchiefs and purses.Li Zhu didn't want to get involved with them anymore, so he accepted it, and at the same time sent back some insignificant gifts.

Li Zhu looked at Mrs. Lu and expressed her doubts: "Why didn't you follow him to Beijing?"

Mrs. Lu was startled at first, then her expression darkened, and then she concealed herself: "Ah Qing originally wanted us to go along, saying that the two younger sisters would be good friends in Beijing, but your uncle and I are reluctant to leave here, after all, our homeland is hard to leave. what."

Seeing the situation, Li Zhu already guessed that it wasn't that they didn't want to go, but that Cai Qing didn't let them go at all.He has now become the head of the Cai family, one reason is that he is rich, and the other reason is that his character has become stronger.

Lu's had just left not long ago.The four of Li Dafu and Xiao Shi also rushed over.The four of them put on the new clothes they only wore during the holidays, with obsequious smiles on their faces, carefully testing the attitudes of Li Zhu and Chen Jin.Li Zhu was cold and polite to them.

She said to Chen Jinru: "They have the same surname as mine. This couple once gave birth to me. Later, they felt that I was at odds with them. For 15 taels of silver, they adopted me to my eldest aunt."

When Xiao Shi heard this, he was too angry to speak.

However, she dared not make any mistakes.Because Chen Jin is very majestic when he is serious, and people dare not look directly at him.Chen Jin greeted them politely.Even so, it made them excited for a while.

Li Zhu didn't stay for long, so he took advantage of these few days to finish all the things that should be done, and met the people who should be seen.She didn't forget her two friends either.One is Wang Xiaocui from Lijiazhuang.She is now married, married to Hejiazhuang, thirty miles away, and heard from her mother, Mrs. Ma, that she is pregnant.Li Zhu felt a little regretful that he couldn't see her, so he gave her a generous gift, even getting married and raising a child for the full moon.Ma declined for a while, then happily accepted.

As for Xiaofeng, her temperament has become a lot stronger now, and her stepmother has also changed slightly.She is now engaged to Yang Dalin from her village, and they will get married at the end of the year.Li Zhu not only gave her a gift in advance, but also gave her all his old clothes.

After seeing the people he needed to meet, Li Zhu started to deal with the business of the shop and the fields.

The fields, fish ponds and orchards have been taken care of by the veteran sent by Chen Jin recently.These people had also planted crops before, but they were injured on the battlefield, and their legs and feet were somewhat inconvenient.Even so, it is more deterrent than ordinary people.With them around and the name of the Chen family, no one dared to covet Li Zhu's property.Moreover, these people seem to like Yangjiaji very much and plan to stay here forever.They didn't live in Li Zhu's house, but built a few other wooden houses in the fruit forest. The dogs that were not taken away followed them, and the big dogs gave birth to many puppies, totaling a dozen or so.

They patrol the orchard with their dogs, hunt in the mountains during slack, and fish by the river whenever they have time.They took good care of the fields and fishponds, and recorded the quarterly income clearly in the ledger, waiting for Li Zhu to check.

When Li Zhu checked the accounts, he suddenly found that the fields under his name had increased by hundreds of mu.She looked at Chen Jin suspiciously, and Chen Jin said lightly, "It's the ration of these people."

"Well, their appetites are really big enough." Li Zhu said with a smile.

This evening, the two of them had a rare time to be quiet and had dinner at home.
