Proud Prince With His Substitute Wife

Jiang Wan just arrived at the door. When Li Zheng and his wife heard the news, they came out of the room and said with a smile, "I thought I would come in the morning, but I didn't expect my wife to come so early."

He recognized yesterday's golden sandalwood, mistakenly thought that she was in charge of the family, can't help but smile to walk past arched hand.

Seeing that Li Zheng misunderstood, Jin Tan smiles and introduces Jiang Wan to him: "this is our wife, madam. This is Li Zheng in Chunxing village."

"It turns out that this is the lady. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize her for a moment. I don't want to blame her."

Li Zheng hurriedly turned the direction, and then bowed to Jiang Wan deeply, apologizing.

Jiang Wan laughed indifferently and said politely, "Li Zheng doesn't need to be polite. I'm just curious for a moment, so I'll follow you to have a look. I don't know if you can prepare people here?"

Yesterday, before going out, Jin Tan specially told the village to prepare all the vegetable pickers in advance, so that the shop would go there early in the morning.

"Last night, we've made a decision, but I didn't expect that my wife would come so early. They haven't come yet. I'll send someone to call her. If she doesn't like it, you can go to the room and have a seat first."

Li Zheng, while talking, waved to the crowd outside and called out: "Shuzi, go quickly and call your three grandfathers. They said that the distinguished guests are here. Prepare the dishes quickly."

"Yes, grandfather Li Zheng." I don't know which young man in the crowd answered loudly, and then there was no movement. It was estimated that he was running to call people.

Jiang Wan also wanted to see the vegetable field. He declined Li Zheng's warm invitation and offered to go for a walk in the field.

Li Zheng and his wife look at each other, naturally there is no reason why they should not.

So a group of people, led by Li Zheng and his wife, Jiang Wan and Jin Tan, turned their direction and walked towards the fields not far away.

This is the first time that Jiang Wan has seen the ancient fields.

On the way from Jingzhong to Tonghua County before, because she was not yet in confinement, the whole carriage and its curtain were covered with peanuts, not even a trace of cracks.

Even if the carriage stopped occasionally for rectification, Jiang Wan could only lift up a crack in the curtain to breathe.

At that time, she was almost suffocated, so when she saw the boundless fields, she could not help stretching her brows and giving a long breath.

"Madame seems to like it very much."

The gold Tan of one side sees her this appearance, not from smile way.

Jiang Wan Yang lips a smile, "this kind of open and pleasant place, there are a few do not like."

"Madame said so." Golden sandalwood smile tunnel, eyes also fell to the ground, looking at those growth gratifying rice eyebrows curved.

Tonghua County is located in the north, bordering on the frontier. The climate is cold. A crop of rice is planted every year, from sowing in spring to harvesting in autumn. From winter to spring, every family can only grow some crops, such as beans, sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are not afraid of cold and need not be treated carefully.

Naturally, the sweet potato and sweet potato with better harvest are naturally planted by more farmers.

Jiang Wan narrowed his eyes. He only felt that standing on the ground, his eyes were full of grain. Even the summer wind, which was coming like a heat wave, was much cooler.

"Madam, although it's still early now, I've been in the field for a long time and I'm in a hurry. Why don't you step down to the shade over there and sit down for a while?"

Li Zheng's wife hesitated when she saw that Jiang Wan was enjoying himself. She opened her mouth after all, but she was somewhat restrained by Jiang Wan's general style.

Jiang Wan looked back and saw her tone carefully. She was afraid to make herself angry. She couldn't help smiling, "thank you so much."

She spoke politely and gently, but for a moment, she calmed down many Li Zheng's wife.

His wife arranged for a cool chair to be put under the shade of the tree. Jiang Wan asked them to sit down together. He picked up some rough tea cups and sipped a sip of tea. He sighed: "the location of your village is really good. There is a mountain next to it. There is a stream along the village, so the crops must be growing well."

"Mrs. Cheng Jiyan, because our Chunxing village is close to the county seat, it's cheap. It's a relatively prosperous village around here. Even so, it's just enough to eat!"

Speaking of this, Li Zheng's eyebrows wrinkled again. The wrinkles between his eyebrows were so many and deep that he was worried about it.

Jiang Wan was also puzzled about the reason why the people in Tonghua County were poor. At this time, he could not help but "Oh", and his brow slightly picked: "if Li Zheng said that, could it be that the people in other villages could not even afford to eat?"

Li Zheng looked at her, lowered his head and sighed heavily.

Jiang Wan was more and more curious.

Finally, Li Zheng's wife, who was sitting next to Li Zheng, couldn't help but sigh and vomited bitterness to Jiang Wan: "to tell you the truth, although the grain tax in our county is not heavy, because of the terrain and climate, if there is water nearby our village, the harvest will be better. If we change to other remote villages, I'm afraid the crops will not grow!""Can't the crops grow?" Ginger Wan slightly stare big eyes, hard to hide surprise, "there are such things?"

Li Zheng's wife nodded when she heard that she would not believe it. She also gave an example: "take the sister-in-law of the farmer's mother's family. Her mother's village is in Moya village on the other side of the mountain. It's just halfway up the mountain. The land in the village is hard and dry, but there's no water near the village. It's all because the men, women and children in the village go to the foot of the mountain to fetch water with carrying poles The bitter one! We can't afford to pay less taxes on grain. It's common for every household to suffer from hunger! "

The more Jiang Wan heard this, the more shocked he was. In the end, he asked her, "which county does Moya village belong to? How come there's no one in the court? "

"Shh

Li Zheng's wife subconsciously looked around and saw that most of the people around her had gone to help pick vegetables. Only a few children were constrained to stand at a distance, and they did not dare to come forward. At the same time, she said to her: "madam, it's OK for you to talk about it here. Don't ask anyone outside. Although Moya village belongs to us Tonghua County, but because their village is located on the mountain, they are rented by the Lin family in the county all the year round. Their whole village is the tenant of the Lin family. To put it bluntly, they are just like the servants of the Lin family, but there is no deed of sale, and the marriage of the younger generation is not controlled! "

When Jiang Wan had heard of such things, he was shocked in the same place.

Even golden sandalwood tightly pursed her lips, and her face was very ugly.

Is it the initiative of the Lin family or something else?

His wife didn't know that she was sitting in front of him. This lady was the magistrate's wife of Tonghua County. She thought she was the wife of an ordinary rich family. She was frightened when she heard this for the first time, and she said, "but madam, you don't have to be shocked. Although the mountain is Lin's, the people in the village are really free."

"Since you are free, how can you not even have your own land? If you just said, I'm afraid that the people of namoya village have no houses of their own?"

Ginger Wan reaction, the more think more feel strange, can't help but tighten the brow, asked.

Although Li Zheng's wife knew about it, she couldn't figure out what was going on inside. When Jiang Wan asked, she couldn't explain why.

Or nearby Li Zheng said: "madam, I don't know. Originally, the houses were all their own, but later, I don't know why. For some time, people in the village fell ill one after another, and they couldn't eat enough. Where can they spare money to see a doctor? In the end, the Lin family found out and sent people to send medicinal materials to help with the treatment. Later, the people were grateful and volunteered to offer their own land. "

Jiang Wan frowned more and more.

Volunteer land?

For the farmers, the land is the foundation of their survival. How can anyone willingly give their land to others? Even if there is, it is impossible for the whole village to do so.

There must be something strange during this period, but Jiang Wan also knows that he will continue to ask at this time. I'm afraid Li Zheng and his wife can't say anything. If they don't get together, they will disturb the Lin family. It's better to put the matter aside for a while and go back to Qin Si for a good question.

"These things are interesting, too." Jiang Wan said with a smile, and then cast his eyes on the vegetable field not far away. He turned around and said, "well, the vegetables in your village are growing well. They are usually eaten at home?"

Li Zheng said with a smile: "basically, they eat at home, and some vegetable dealers come to their homes, but because the vegetable fields are not big, they seldom sell them."

After hearing this, Jiang Wan slightly raised his eyebrows: "some people pay for it, but the villagers don't sell it either?"

"Not really." Li Zheng was embarrassed to smile, and his tone was melancholy: "it's because the price is too low. A cabbage weighing three or four catties can only be sold for a penny, which can't even match the Kung Fu money. Who in the village is willing to sell it, except for the old and weak villagers who are really hard at home and don't have any labor force, they will sell some, but because they don't plant it several times a year, they can't sell any money."

Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that there was a flash of light in his eyes.

It's really a bully to sell a Chinese cabbage for a penny.

But she just scanned her eyes and found that the food was really good. If the banquet was good today, she could consider establishing a long-term cooperation with this village
