Chapter 92 Questioning
When the coachman drove the carriage to the gate of the house in the east of the city, the gate of the house was closed tightly, and the outside looked no different from the last time I came here.

Cuiping raised her hand to knock on the door, but before she could touch the knocker, the door was opened from the inside.

Cuizhu has always been here, and this is the first time Cuiping has come here, including the woman who opened the door, and it is also the first time to meet face to face.

Psychologically guessing that they should be servants bought by the girl, she doesn't know them, and Cui Zhu has heard a lot about their respective situations.

Cuiping asked, "Are you from the Zhao family, or from the Zhou family?" Without waiting for the woman to reply, she said, "Miss, come over here and have a look. You first open the middle door so that the carriage can go in."

The girl's own house naturally has to open the middle door and be welcomed in.

Cuiping has been dealing with the servants of the Zheng family all the year round, and the girl is still young, so she wants to help establish her prestige in front of these servants.

Li Qiusui sat in the carriage and did not say anything to stop Cuiping.

After such a short delay, a voice came from the house asking, "Who is Aunt Zhao? Who is outside? Why don't you come in?"

Aunt Zhao didn't care about answering the questions from the people in the house, so she said to Cuiping with a smile on her face, "I'll open the middle door and invite the girl in."

Turning around, he yelled into the gate house again, "Little Shitou, call your parents and the head of my family to come over, and say that the girl is here!"

Li Qiusui looked out through the car window, and saw a little boy aged [-] or [-]. First, he poked out half of his head to look outside, and when he met her eyes, he shrank his head and retracted. , His shouts echoed in the house.

"Uncle Zhao—father—mother, the girl is here, the girl is here!"

Li Qiusui got out of the carriage and told the driver to wait outside.

The Zhao family came forward and kowtowed to salute, "Miss, you are free to come, we are all looking forward to it!"

Li Qiusui signaled Cuiping to help him up, "I've been busy, I should have come to see you. How about it, if there is anything missing in the house, just tell Cuizhu, and I'll send someone to bring it to you."

The Zhao family gestured to come over to help her, but Li Qiusui waved his hand, motioning for her to follow.

The Zhao family said, "There is everything in the house. Sister Cuizhu has a good temper and is easy to talk. She wants to be ahead of us in everything. It's just that there are so many of us guarding such a yard, and we have nothing to do all day long." Dry……"

A group of people walked inside while talking.

Just when they were about to cross the threshold, the boy who had just shouted led the people to greet them in a hurry. Before Li Qiusui could see their faces clearly, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to call the girl.

"Get up, let's go in and talk."

Li Qiusui walked inside by himself, and the servants behind him got up to follow.

It was really not too early, so she didn't go into the house, so she turned around on the steps of Langyan.

Zhao Da stood at the front, with his head half down, leading the crowd as if he was listening respectfully to Li Qiusui's instruction.

Li Qiusui beckoned Cuizhu's younger brother Xiaobao over, "Has your sister gone back? When will you be back?"

Even though Xiaobao is only three or four years old, he can speak very eloquently, "My sister has already returned. She should be at Zheng's house now. Before she left, she said that girl, you are not free today and won't be coming."

"Then how are you living here? Do you want to go home and have a look?"

Xiao Bao shook his head like a rattle, "I don't want to go home! This place is very good, brother Xiaoshitou will take me to play, and sister Qingya is also good, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao will cook for us, Anyway, the little one doesn’t want to go home.”

Li Qiusui just smiled, "Then you are obedient and stay here, and I will let your sister come to see you often."

"Thank you girl!" Xiaobao saluted respectfully.

It seems that someone has taught it.

Li Qiusui fixed his eyes on Zhao Da, "I asked you to go to Zhuangzi to take a look, how do you think?"

Zhao Da lowered his head from the beginning to the end, and after hearing what he said and doing a salute, he replied, "My lady, the 20 mu of land in Zhuangzi are all high-quality fertile fields, and the current season is planted with winter wheat, which should be harvested in April and May next year." , and then planted a crop of late rice. In this way, if there is no bad weather, the harvest should not be bad. I also asked about the village head. He is honest and prudent. There are more than [-] people in his family. The sons of his family alone have planted a hundred acres of land, and the harvest is comparable to that of other families. The other tenant families are honest and responsible. Having said that, although there are only two seasons of harvest in Zhuangzi, there are still fish ponds, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, etc., but the housekeeper of Guo's mansion only asked people to take away the autumn grain. It is cold now, and I heard them say that it should be The ponds are up, chickens and ducks are easy to deal with, and they were sold directly to restaurants in Fucheng in previous years, cattle and sheep, they dare not dispose of them without authorization, saying that they should be divided into pens in the spring."

Li Qiusui murmured, she understood Zhao Da's meaning, that is to say, the head of the village was not bad, and the tenant farmers were not bad.By April or May of next year, she will not be able to count on food, such as chickens, ducks, fish, cattle and sheep. I am asking her how to plan.

On the side of the parents in Lijia Village, there is a [-]-acre small village given by the Zheng family. Chickens, ducks and fish are indispensable. I have never heard of cattle and sheep.It's the Chinese New Year, and with these things, we will be able to have a good year.

Li Qiusui, "Can cattle be killed casually?"

I don’t remember where I saw it, but it was said that there was an ordinance against killing cattle at will in ancient times.

"Of course cattle can't be killed at will, but the beef cattle on our village are beef cattle. It is said that the beef cattle that General Guo specially found from peddlers, because they only grow meat and cannot produce growth, they are not killed by them like horses. Take control, it’s easy for someone with a little power to get it.”

Li Qiusui nodded when she heard what Zhao Da said. Most of her knowledge of this era was taken from books, but she had only read a few books, so no one said anything about it, so she naturally didn't know.

"Well, send some chickens, ducks and fish to Zheng's house. The Chinese New Year will be a few months away. You can also keep some in the house here. Let them deal with the rest like in previous years! As for Cattle and sheep, especially the breeding cattle of that kind of beef cattle, keep two, and there is no need to deal with the rest in a hurry. In the beginning of spring, those who should be divided into pens will be penned for them. I will go to see it in person when I have free time. There are also Zhuangtou and tenants. Since it’s necessary, let’s leave it like this for the time being.”

Although Zhao Da lowered his head, he was shocked in his heart. Don't look at his young master, listen to her, he knows the way of Zhuangzi well.

Cuizhu said that he was asked to go to the Zhuangzi to have a look, and he was supposed to be in charge of the Zhuangzi, including the reply just now, he did not dare to say a word of nonsense.

At this moment, I was secretly glad that he was used to being cautious, and he kept a little bottom line when doing things. Otherwise, he would rashly guess the master's mind and make up his own cleverness.
