Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 32

Seeing this, Xinyue wanted to step forward, but Ning Erlan signaled her not to worry with her eyes.

Ning Erlan patted Li Peishan's hand to stabilize her emotions. "You tell me the details of what happened, maybe I can help your father."

Realizing her gaffe, Li Peishan scratched her head embarrassingly, and let go of Ning Erlan. "Young master, the thing is like this. My father and some farmers on the village are all farming for the Ning family, which is the field one mile away. My father is a foreman, and my father organized them in previous years. ...Three years ago, in that line, Manager Zhang came to find my father, saying that the field needed people, and asked my father if he would like to work, some food, at least half a tael of silver a year, and a good job. There are more. Half a tael of silver is not too little for us peasants, so my father agreed..."

Ning Erlan listened attentively to Li Peishan's narration. The thing is, Li Si planted land for the Ning family three years ago, and the harvest was not bad in the first year, so the wages were paid on time, and some things were also distributed to the Ning family. them.Everyone saw that they had money and things, so they continued to work in the second year, but in the second year, Zhang Xing said that the price of medicine had dropped, and he couldn't pay them all their wages at the moment, so he only paid half of them.

Everyone was honest, and they all believed in Zhang Xing and continued to work.But who knows, this year, Zhang Xing said that his superiors disliked the poor harvest, so he didn't even pay him wages.That is everyone's livelihood for a year, so how can we let it go?
As the leader, Li Si went to Zhang Xing several times, but Zhang Xing sent him back on the grounds that he was not the real master.

But suddenly one day, Zhang Xing said that the owner of the field would come in the afternoon, and they could go to him to discuss the explanation.

Li Si didn't suspect him, so he called some articulate people in Zhuangzi to go, but who knows, not long after he went there, news spread that they had injured someone.

"That's how it happened. I don't know what dad and the others did. I wasn't there that day, but I can assure you that my dad would never do anything hurtful. After that, the government came to arrest people." , my father ran away so as not to cause trouble to me." After speaking, Li Peishan's eyes were a little moist, and she was worried when she thought of her own father's life or death.

"Brother, don't worry, your father will be fine. However, it's strange, I just went to see this land, it's a good land, why is the harvest not as good as every year?" Ning Erlan said The strange emotion in the eyes was concealed, and he asked with a look of doubt.

Hearing this, Li Peishan showed an unconcealable anger on her face. "Hmph! If you want to blame, blame my father and the others for trusting someone wrongly. That steward is simply a greedy villain. If it weren't for him, how could my father and the villagers have fallen to this point?"

"Is that Zhang Xing the manager who is guarding the field now?" That is to say, the person they met in the field just now is the Zhang Xing that Li Peishan was talking about.

"Who else but him! Why is the harvest not good? How can my father and the others who work in the field all day long not know? It is a fertile field, and it will be fine for another three to five years, so how could it be?" The harvest is not good. It is clearly that Zhang Xing is not greedy enough!"

A sneer flashed across Ning Erlan's eyes. When she saw Zhang Xing just now, she knew that this matter must have something to do with him. As a steward of a farm, how could she slander the land she depends on for no reason?
"Oh? How do you say this?"

Li Peishan looked at Ning Erlan, and suddenly stopped talking. She secretly blamed herself for being too impulsive, and said so many things before knowing the details of the other party.

"Can the young master really help dad and the others?"

Understanding the vigilance in Li Peishan's eyes, Ning Erlan smiled, this girl is not beyond hopelessness.

Since you want others to believe in you, you must show sincerity. "To be honest, I have already bought the Ning family's field, and it will be mine from now on, so I want to understand the situation clearly before planting."

"What? They sold that land? What about my father and the blind dates?"

"Don't worry, I will pay the wages to the folks according to the previous standards of the Ning family. But the prerequisite is that I have to figure out that matter, which is good for you and me."

"Really? Can you really help my father and the folks?" Except for those folks who escaped and were caught in prison, there are many people in Zhuangzi who are waiting for those wages to live.

"I will do my best to help you, but you have to promise me a few things..."

"Okay, as long as you can save my father and the folks, I will promise you no matter what." Knowing that the folks and my father are saved, Li Peishan knelt down for Ning Erlan without thinking, but fortunately she quickly held him up, She hates people kneeling down to her.Really unlucky!

"Come here, I'll tell you..." Ning Erlan lowered her voice and whispered in Li Peishan's ear.

"Is this all right?" Li Peishan raised her eyes in doubt and asked.

Ning Erlan's eyes shone with confidence. "I promise."

After everything was explained, Ning Erlan saw that it was getting late, so she asked the coachman to drive the carriage back to Ning Mansion directly.

Because Ning Erlan did not report to the old lady when she left the mansion, so she must go to pay her respects after returning to the mansion, otherwise she will be blamed again.

Back in the courtyard, after changing into a dress, Ning Erlan took the cakes she bought on the way and walked to the old lady's courtyard.

"Granddaughter pays respects to grandmother." To Ning Erlan's surprise, everyone was present today, except for Ning Guoan who hadn't come back yet.

The old lady who was wearing a dark pattern plaid blouse looked up at Ning Erlan, and said softly, "Get up, I heard that you are leaving the house today?"

"Yes, my granddaughter even bought your favorite pastry for grandma. It's still hot." Ning Erlan smiled and brought the pastry to the old lady. The expression on the old lady's face softened a little.

"You really have a heart. I heard that you bought that thousand-acre medicine field from your father? Why do your daughter's family bother with those?"

Ning Erlan's eyes flashed, obviously this is what the old lady wants to care about. "The granddaughter also doesn't want her father to work too hard. Seeing that the harvest in the medicine field is getting less and less every year, the granddaughter wants to try it to see if it can be used."

"Did you know that your father wanted to leave the medicine field to your elder brother?"

"Grandmother, the money paid by my granddaughter can already buy enough good farmland in the city." She was indeed a shrewd old woman!It doesn't count that Ning Guoan has collected the money, does she still want to collect some money from herself now?

Said that the field was originally intended for Ning Desheng, but now she bought the field, isn't it telling her what it is to give some more money to compensate Ning Desheng!
"Where did your daughter's family get so much money?" The old lady's expression on the road sank when she heard the words. There are still many things hidden!

"Grandmother didn't mention Lan'er, but she forgot. Mother's yard has been repaired long ago. My mother's dowry should be returned to its original place. Don't put it in the public storehouse, let grandma take care of it." Greedy Not counting the dowry, and wanting to count her mother's money, these people are really greedy.

Ning Erlan's words not only changed the face of the old lady, but also the faces of several aunts sitting in the room.

"Where is your mother's dowry, can I still eat them?"

"Yes, Miss San, you also know that Madam's health is not good. It's really troublesome to carry the dowry around. Why don't you put it in the big warehouse for peace of mind." Aunt Lin also coveted the dowry for a long time. I will not agree to move those things back.

"So, how about Aunt Lin also put your dowry in the big treasury? This will also save the manpower of the mansion."

"This... my worthless things don't need to be guarded!" Aunt Lin clenched her embroidered handkerchief tightly and gritted her teeth.

"Ouch... vomit..." When the old lady was still trying to find out how much money Wen had hidden from Ning Erlan, Aunt Zhao, who had been sitting silently by the side, retched suddenly.

"There are no rules! Didn't you see that the old lady is here?" Aunt Lin scolded dissatisfiedly.But then, as if thinking of something, she looked at Aunt Zhao with poison in her eyes.

"Ouch, ooh..." Aunt Zhao just wanted to plead guilty, but she couldn't help retching.

The old lady was also a person who came here, and she immediately understood and said to Ning Erlan who was beside her: "Erlan, go and see if Aunt Zhao is happy."

Ning Erlan raised her eyebrows, stepped forward to feel the pulse of Aunt Zhao, and said after a while: "Congratulations, Aunt Zhao, you are lucky."

"Miss San is telling the truth? Am I really happy?" Aunt Zhao didn't care about being uncomfortable, she couldn't stop the smile on her face. She had been married to Ning Guoan for so many years, and her stomach didn't move. This time it's great, she's finally pregnant!

But compared to Aunt Zhao's happiness, the other aunts couldn't laugh at all.

The old lady cheerfully told the servant girl to take good care of Aunt Zhao. Originally, there were not many children in the Ning Mansion, but she had been looking forward to having more children in the Ning Mansion for a long time.

"Thank you, old lady."

Although they don't want to, the aunts still want to come forward to congratulate them, but Aunt Zhao is in her thirties, and in this era of backward medicine, giving birth to a child at this age is still a great threat to her life.

Aunt Lin's eyes were gloomy and cold, hum, it's too early to be happy now!
"Aunt Zhao is twinned now, so don't come to pay her respects sooner or later. You maidservants should be more vigilant to me. If there is anything wrong with Aunt Zhao, you are the only ones to ask me!" After some explanations, Aunt Zhao returned to her yard surrounded by maidservants.

Ning Erlan sat for a while before returning to her yard.

Outside the mansion, on the famous flower street in Shancheng, in the most famous flower building wing room called "Rouzhifang", there is a young man wearing a silver-white satin gown, who was injured and lying on the bed not long ago. Ning Desheng, surrounded by charming women in the building.

"Haha, master's little Jiaojiao..." Ning Desheng said lewd words.

Suddenly, the door of the wing room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a green gown walked in.The man's eyes scanned the three people in the wing room, and finally his eyes fell on Ning Desheng.

"Let them go out." The man said.

Ning Desheng was disturbed by someone, and was about to yell at him, but when he saw the person coming, he put on a fawning smile on his face and let the two women go out.
