The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 72 Chunxiang
It's just that the market of the four treasures is better. Because of the tough experience of Tu Niu, most people in the village feel sorry for their son, or they are afraid that they will not be able to hold back when they get married. Those who have daughters at home just want to marry their daughters into the Zhong family...

These people are not a minority.

"Let's eat. After eating, the big treasures and the four treasures will watch the slaughter of pigs. Tu Niu and I will go to Lizheng's house..." Zhong Gensheng said: "Axiu, Xiaohua, you stay in the house. The yard is full of blood. Don't come out, the house will be built in the future, and the place where the pigs are slaughtered will be separated, it will be convenient for you, and you don't have to hide in the house..."

He Axiu nodded happily.

After the family had finished their meal excitedly, Butcher Wang came early, Zhong Gensheng greeted him and went with Tu Niu with presents.

Lizheng's house is in the east of the village. The conditions of the house are quite good, and it is one of the few houses in the village with green bricks and tiles.Shen Sisi looked outside and just smiled and thought, when their house is built...it will be the biggest and best house in the village.

After entering the room, Mrs. Lizheng smiled when she saw them: "It's Gensheng and Tuniu? Come in and sit down, what do you think you're bringing with you?!"

Zhong Gensheng said with a simple and honest smile: "It's not something precious, don't be disgusted by Mrs. Lizheng..."

"Where is it, sit down quickly..." The person who was speaking had already gone to pour tea.

Li Zheng invited them into the room, sat down and said, "Gen Sheng, what's the matter with you?!"

Lizheng is very prestigious in the village, and he is fair in dealing with things, so he is very respected. He is embarrassed when Zhong Gensheng makes trouble a few times, but Lizheng feels that although Zhong's family is more honest and stays a little longer, after all, every time Knowing to give some benefits, although the things are not worth much, at least it shows that he can be a man and knows to respect him, so Li Zheng is very polite to him, his face is naturally calm, and the expression on his pensive mind is With thoughtful.

The Zhong family's stewed pork has caused trouble again in the village. The chestnuts last time and the stewed pork this time are all due to this little girl. I didn't expect the Zhong family to give birth to such a smart and good daughter.

It seemed that the Zhong family was bound to make a fortune. Thinking of this, Lizheng felt jealous, but the villagers could talk about the Zhong family's affairs unscrupulously, envying and hating him, but he couldn't. To be a young bird, it is actually not easy to sit in this position, if you offend the whole village, you will be in trouble.

It's just the braised pork of the Zhong family, which is really profitable. Now the Zhong family may become the new rich in the village.

"Lizheng..." Zhong Gensheng scratched his head honestly, and said, "This time I came to Trouble Lizheng just to ask the price of the wasteland to the west..."

Li Zheng was stunned, and said: "The per-mu price of the wasteland is not high, but the area is large, the total price is very high, and they are not sold separately, Gen Sheng, if you want to buy land, you'd better buy a good land, the wasteland Who would want it, I haven't made a move for several years..."

Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "I don't want to buy land to grow. My family has a large population. I mainly want to buy that land for building a house so that I can marry my children..."

Li Zheng's face was startled, and he thought to himself that buying land is nothing, but the price of rebuilding a house is too high. Could it be that the Zhong family has already earned this money? !

"Your family only has three acres of land, which is still poor. Why don't you want to buy some land for planting?!" Lizheng tentatively asked with a smile.

"To be honest, I also want them to be promising for the few children in my family, so I sent the second treasure and the third treasure to study. The remaining big treasure, my wife, and the four treasures, how can I grow so many? Well, our family is not like other families where we can have brothers to help, my brothers are not here, and my parents are with my eldest brother and sister-in-law, how can our family be so busy?!" Zhong Gensheng said helplessly: "...Fortunately, we The stewed meat sold by the native girl can make a little money, otherwise, alas..."

Zhong Gensheng sighed and said: "There are many children in the family, and they are all grown up, so I thought about building a house. Originally, our old house was too small, even if it was knocked down, it would not be enough to cover, so I thought about buying a piece of land to build it For the house, the land on the west side is suitable. Our family can’t afford such a good place. Although the total price is a bit more expensive, but the place is big, and it will be convenient for the children to do things in the future. If there is any empty space, we can open up wasteland and plant land, which kills two birds with one stone. It's like buying a field..."

On the way here, Shen Sisi had told him not to tell others about his family's plans. Although Zhong Gensheng was honest, he understood this point, and he knew it without her telling him. If he is eye-catching, he will naturally not say anything to outsiders.

Li Zheng smiled and said: "Well, since you have decided to buy it, I naturally want it, so let's go through the formalities tomorrow. This land can't be sold, and the county government can get it down as soon as it is done." Yes, it’s just a total of ten mu of land, 30 taels of silver, and you have to pay a handling fee of three taels of silver to go to the Yamen to apply for a red deed, do you think it’s okay?!”

"Success..." Zhong Gensheng scratched his head and said, "Then it's going to be troublesome..." After saying that, he left, planning to go to the city early in the morning. Fortunately, he bought two pigs back today, otherwise he would return tomorrow. It is troublesome to have to buy pigs.

Mrs. Lizheng politely kept the meal, Zhong Gensheng would not stay for dinner, it was still early, he had to go home to work, after he came out, he meditated and whispered: "...Father, let's go together tomorrow morning."

"Success." Zhong Gensheng had never dealt with the county government before, and he was a little apprehensive when he heard Lizheng say that. Shen Sisi followed him. He didn't know why, but he felt a lot more stable in his heart, and his unstable heart gradually settled down. up.

While walking home, he said: "Tu Niu, do you want to bring some gifts to the yamen?!"

Shen Sisi nodded and said: "Bringing a gift is too eye-catching, let's put a tael of silver..."

"It will cost 34 taels of silver to buy this land..." Zhong Gensheng said helplessly: "But it is only a few days' income, forget it, the money earned in the past few days can buy such a large piece of land, I dare not even think about it Yes, people are contented..."

Think deeply about it, and you will know the preciousness of food only after you are hungry.

After Zhong Gensheng and Shen Sisi left, Lizheng came out and asked, "...What did their family give you?! Is it still a prey?!"

Mrs. Lizheng shook her head and said with a smile: "Didn't you smell the aroma?! It's braised pork and dried bean curd. The meat is worth two catties. I heard that it sells for forty yuan a catty in the city." , it smells really good, come and taste it, is it delicious?!"

Lizheng took a sip and said: "It's really a good thing." He chewed a sip, took another piece and tasted it, only to find that the more he ate it, the more fragrant it would be in his mouth, it was really delicious, and he sighed in his heart.

Mrs. Lizheng also took a bite, and said: "Even the most common stewed dried tofu has become so delicious, no wonder people in the village say that the Zhong family is really going to make a fortune."

Li Zheng took it very seriously, and said for a while, "...they will be more polite when they come in the future, I think their family has a lot of luck."

The two children study, who knows if they will be selected as scholars in the future, and if they are selected as scholars, it will be different in their village. There are really no living scholars in their village. It is also the glory of their entire village, and there are only a few children who study in the village. The children of Mrs. Zheng's family are sent to the town to study, and there are several other children. It's just that the Zhong family can't tell...

Li Zheng thought to himself, even giving birth to a girl is so shrewd, and with such a brain at such a young age, it would be even better if it was a boy. Therefore, since the Zhong family's baby is so smart, it's hard to guarantee that the second treasure and the third treasure will not be lost. Smart, in case...

"I'll understand if you don't tell me..." Mrs. Lizheng glanced at him and said, "Oh, our family's spring fragrance is just right with Dabao, but unfortunately, that sweet-scented osmanthus flower is really shrewd, hmph, using such a shameless method Everyone said that Dabao and Niu Xiaohua had something to do, but I didn't believe it. Niu Xiaohua doesn't go out very much at home, and Dabao is very honest. How could they..."

He sighed with regret.

Li Zheng frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense..."

"Chunxiang is not at home..." Mrs. Lizheng chuckled and said, "How dare I say such things when she is at home... But, master, what do you think of the second treasure and the third treasure?! It is true that the three treasures are younger... the Zhong family used to Although I am poor, I may not be sure if I can..."

Li Zheng also thought about it, but he said: "...they are sent to a private school now, what if they win the show, can they see our family Chunxiang?!"

"What's wrong with our family's Chunxiang? Why can't they be worthy of their old Zhong's family... You are Lizheng again, even if they have a scholar in their family, who would dare not sell your face?!" Lizheng's wife snorted: " I think the old Zhong's couple are really honest, our family Chunxiang married and had a good time, the family has money, and they are from the village, so they know everything, those two children are really honest..."

She is naturally thinking of her daughter in every way, and she only wants to marry her daughter better. If the family is kinder, it is better to be as close to the family as possible, so that she can take care of her, and they dare not treat her daughter badly. .

Lizheng's heart moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.This kind of thing can only be calculated by oneself. Now I don't know how many people in the village have taken a fancy to their family members.This kind of thing is still waiting.

"It doesn't matter if you are a scholar or not, as long as you are a good person and your life is easy..." Mrs. Lizheng said again: "By the way, why are they looking for you?!"

"Buy the land on the west side to build a house..." Li Zheng said softly.

"What, doesn't that land cost 30 taels?! Their family is really rich?! It seems that stewed meat is really very profitable..." Mrs. Lizheng's heart became more anxious, and she almost wanted to marry her daughter into it immediately.

She was thinking that after building the house, the Zhong family would really be better off, and her daughter would not have to be wronged in the adobe house of the Zhong family.

"Yeah, I'm wondering too. Thirty taels of silver, plus building a house, isn't a small sum..." Lizheng's thoughts became more and more active, and he guessed how much money the Zhong family had now.

I'm afraid it's because he will get richer and richer in the future.

I don't know what's going on in the mind of that little girl named Tu Niu, how can she be so smart.If the Zhong family is a scholar, the status of the Zhong family can be said to be in the village, and the clan has completely turned around.

With a plan, the next thing will naturally go much smoother. Shen Sisi set off with Zhong Gensheng early the next morning. Because they wanted to be with Li Zheng, they borrowed Niu Laogen's donkey cart, and Niu Laogen naturally agreed. .

If their house is finished, they will have to build a cowshed. In the future, they will have to use cows to do business, and it will be too tiring to use people's backs. Keep a stall, it will make more money...

It's just that these plans have to be completed after the house is built. There is no bigger kitchen, no ox cart, and nothing can be done. Now their shabby house is really too much to bear. Si sat on the donkey cart and lost his mind, pondering over the plan in his heart, and when he thought it over and reacted, he found that Li was looking at her with a kind of inquiring gaze, thinking about it suddenly, and said: "Uncle Li Zheng ?!"
