Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 109

Regarding Erlang and Du Yu's marriage, Du Youzhong had some plans in mind.

Erlang has passed this crisis now, so far, it seems that there is no one to say kiss.

What's more, the man's marriage should be initiated by the man. This time, Mr. Qi was worried about his daughter, so a woman took the initiative. That's it, I also thought that the man would propose a marriage. Fortunately, things didn't happen later. Therefore, it seems that no one in Qingyang County is willing to marry Erlang anymore.

After all, everyone is not a fool, and it is not difficult to know some inside information.

Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for you to rob someone from the county magistrate?
Although the magistrate's plan didn't work out, at least there was a shadow, and no one was willing to make a fuss.

As for Yu'er, she is still young, and with Erlang in front of her, there is a good excuse for delaying it.

Let's wait two years.You can't be forced by others to just give your children a marriage arrangement. Wouldn't that delay them for the rest of their lives?

"You guys are the ones at home who are worrying a lot. If there is anything you can't solve, just send me a letter." Du Youzhong said to his third brother Du Youxian.

"Oh, brother, I see, brother, are you coming back for the Chinese New Year?" Du Youxian asked.

"I'll definitely go back, but I guess I won't be able to get home until around New Year's Eve."

The county school also belongs to the government, and it will not be closed until the new year is over, unlike the academy, which is closed as early as it is.After all, the county magistrate is still staying in the county government. If you close Laba, wouldn't it be more comfortable than the county magistrate?
"It's good if I can go back, I told my father and mother, they must be happy!"

Du Youxian stayed here for several days, Dalang and Erlang took him around the whole Qingyang County, and the Hu family also bought a lot of things alone, and brought them back to the family. The filial piety of the daughter-in-law.

When Du Youzhong gave the money to Du Youxian, Du Youxian hurriedly said: "Mother told me, I know that you will give me the money, she said, I don't need it at home, let me save it well, so that I can go to the capital in the future."

The Qi family has money on hand, so they don't need Du Youzhong's money, and they also know that everything needs money when they are alone outside, so why would they need money from their son?
Du Youxian is also a good and obedient son, so he was determined not to do so. Hu had no choice but to buy some more things and asked Du Youxian to bring them back.

The old man has been frugal all his life, even if his life is good, he is reluctant to eat something good, that is, if they buy it, their parents will be afraid of wasting it.

Something happened to the clerk in the county yamen, and he needed to take a month off. The county magistrate Qi asked Du Youzhong to help out temporarily, and took the clerk's place for this month.

The clerical work is nothing more than sorting out the daily information of the county government, and moistening the pens for the county magistrate.Of course, I had more contact with the magistrate.

Clerks have no grades at all. Speaking of them, they are a bit like modern secretaries.

But the secretary next to the magistrate, that's also a good job, isn't it?

Du Youzhong is only a temporary representative, and he still has the fame of juren, so others will not deliberately make things difficult for him.

Because he is still the teacher of the county school, he is better than the name of the clerk.

Some people think that some are overqualified, but Du Youzhong is very serious about making the paperwork for this month well.

After the secretary came back from home, he also explained clearly to him, so he didn't get involved in this matter.

At the beginning, the clerk was worried that his errand would be snatched away, but now that he saw this, he was relieved a lot, and he was very polite to Du Youzhong.

He also felt that the magistrate was very kind to him, otherwise why would he have asked Du Xundao to do this job?

The anti-book believed that Master Qi asked Du Youzhong to take over this matter temporarily in order to keep this job for himself, so Master Qi became more respectful from now on.

On this day, Li Wenshu specially bought a few catties of cooked meat and made a pot of wine, and came to visit Du Youzhong.

Since he came back, his relationship with Du Youzhong has improved a lot, and he will tell Du Youzhong about the affairs in the yamen.

He also lives in the county government office, but only in one room, and his wife and children are all staying in his hometown, that is, he only goes home after rest.

He just dealt with things like eating, and he didn't want Du Youzhong, who was still in the county town with his family.

"Sister-in-law, I'm bothering you!" Li Wenshu said as he passed cooked meat and wine to Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Hu hurriedly said: "What are you bothering about? Why are you so polite? Come here when you are free. You probably can't eat well by yourself."

Li Wenshu smiled embarrassedly.However, he came today because he had business with Du Youzhong. As a clerk, of course he could know some inside information in advance.For example, today, he and Du Youzhong drank a few glasses of wine and ate meat, so they talked.

"Dong's family in the county, does brother Du know?" Li Wenshu asked.

"The Dong family? Could it be that the Dong family was the richest man in Qingyang County a few years ago?" Du Youzhong was somewhat impressed.

"Yes, it's his family. It used to be the richest man, but since the death of Dong Dahu, his sons have been incompetent. They are proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and they have lost all their property. Now, the Dong family's The second brother is about to sell a Zhuangzi he got because he has no money. Brother Du, if you have money on hand, you might as well buy this Zhuangzi."

It is impossible for Li Wenshu to say these words for no reason. Sure enough, Li Wenshu said: "The second Dong is not good at management, and Zhuangzi has been messed up by him. However, if it is in the hands of Brother Du, it will be very valuable. Then Zhuangzi The land is also good. I know that my elder brother’s family members are farmers. Your village has hundreds of acres of land, and it’s full of fruit trees. This kind of land is like a mountain, and the taxes are higher than ordinary fields. Much less. And he is in urgent need of money now, and he will sell it for only 200 taels. It’s a pity that I don’t have that much money on hand, otherwise I would definitely buy it.”

Du Youzhong said, "If Brother Li really wants to buy it, I can lend you the money."

Li Wenshu quickly waved his hands, "Brother Du, please don't, even if you buy it for me, my family is not good at managing it, so it will be waste in the hands."

Li Wenshu sorted out documents and materials in the county government office, and he could see something about land sales, especially this kind of big business.Some still need to register with the government.

The magistrate of the county is the magistrate of a county, so of course it is impossible to blatantly intervene in this land sale.In particular, he estimated that he would return to Beijing next year, and it would be useless for him to ask for Zhuangzi in Qingyang County.

Du Youzhong asked, "Didn't the magistrate have that intention?"

Li Wenshu said with a smile: "Brother Du, I'm not afraid of making fun of you if I say it, Zhou Xiancheng still doesn't like such a small Zhuangzi."

"As for Lord County Lieutenant, he is also impatient with the prospects of these lands, and he still has some conflicts with the Dong family, let alone buying them."

So when Li Wenshu heard the news, he brought a letter to Du Youzhong.It also meant to befriend Du Youzhong.

"Brother, if you want to buy it, you should do it as soon as possible. Dong Laoer didn't want to hand it over to the dental firm to make another profit, so he entrusted the relationship." In fact, Li Wenshu was also one of the entrusted relationships. Dong Laoer agreed, and Zhuangzi sold it. After going, he will be given five taels of silver as a favor fee.

Although Li Wenshu was just a clerk, he was from the county government and knew many rich people. Li Wenshu wanted to sell favors to Du Youzhong, and also to make some money himself.

Du Youzhong told his family about the news brought by Li Wenshu, and Du Dalang said, "Father, I'll go out and find out about that Zhuangzi's situation. If it's possible, we can buy it. Li Wenshu's face is also lost." .”

They have been here for more than half a year, and they know what Li Wenshu's temperament is. Among them, he must earn some introduction fees.

However, his mother has been sick all the time, and if he doesn't earn such money, it will be difficult to maintain.

Moreover, Li Wenshu would at most do such things, that kind of particularly powerful things, he would not dare to get involved.

Du Youzhong nodded, "Okay, let's find out, let's continue."

Hu said: "There will be no problems with Zhuangzi, otherwise why would you buy it for 200 taels?" Hu's worry is very necessary.

"Mother, that's why the eldest brother is going to inquire. Father and Li Wenshu are colleagues. Even if they lie, it is not easy to lie to father." Du Yu said.

Otherwise, how can we get along in the future?
Du Dalang went to Zhuangzi over there for a few days to inquire, and found that there was really no problem. Hu had saved two or three hundred taels in the past few years, and he took out 300 taels at once. To support ah.

After paying the money and signing the deed in the county government, the Zhuangzi became Du Yu's family.Du Youzhong hasn't told the Qi family yet, he took his family to the village while Muxiu was away, and the tenants also met, and Du Youzhong also spoke, what was before is still what it is now, and they will not confiscate their land When I came back, fortunately, this Zhuangzi was not too big. It was only about [-] acres, and the head of the village was honest. After meeting the new owner, he didn't dare to hide anything, and told all about Zhuangzi's situation.

It's just that there is a piece of land that is not long, and I had a fever some time ago!
fever?This is strange, Du Yu was interested to see it, and the place still has a fever?

The head of the village took the new master to look at the field, and it turned out that no grass grew at all, and now that the weather was getting colder, there was still faint steam coming out.When Du Yu touched the ground with his hand, it was immediately hot. Could this be an early warning of a volcanic eruption?

But it's not like that. Du Yu thinks that when a volcano is about to erupt in modern times, dust and smoke will come out from the ground, which can spread for several kilometers around and last for several days. This is not the same thing at all.
