Song has been exhausted physically and mentally by these people for several days, and after sending everyone away this day, he felt a headache, so he said to the girl: "I'll lie down and rest for a while, if it's nothing serious, you block it first, don't let people disturb you." ”

Before the words were finished, a girl said back and forth: "Aunt Hu from the south came to ask to see, because Mrs. Fang Cai was a guest, she didn't dare to disturb, and she was waiting outside at this time." ”

When Song heard this, he actually had some energy, and he didn't have a headache, and said, "Quickly call her in and talk back." ”

The girl agreed, opened the curtain and said to the people outside: "Go and call Aunt Hu to come up, and Mrs. will talk to her." ”

After a while, I saw a middle-aged woman dressed neatly and neatly walked in, saluted the Song family, smiled all over her face, and said in her mouth: "Say hello to Madame, I haven't seen you for a year, and Madame is getting younger and younger." ”

When Song heard this, he smiled and said: "You used to be stupid and didn't like to talk, but now you have been trained in a few years, and your mouth has become smarter." ”

Aunt Hu laughed and said: "It's not that the slave's mouth has become smarter, but that the lady is indeed getting younger and younger, if you don't believe it, you can ask the sisters in the house?" ”

All the girls and mothers-in-law naturally echoed in unison with Aunt Hu, although the Song family knew that it was the subordinates who complimented them, but as a woman, they were still happy to listen to these words.

Song suddenly felt that his body was much lighter, and smiled at the girls: "You also follow Lao Hu to learn badly, go down first, and let Lao Hu serve here." ”

When everyone retreated, the smile on Song's face disappeared, and Zhengrong asked, "How is the thing I told you to do?" ”

Aunt Hu hurriedly replied: "Last year's harvest over there was good, two or three percent more than in previous years, and it is precisely because of the good weather and good harvest in recent years that there are very few land sales, and the slave and maid couple have been busy there for more than half a year, and they have not bought enough land for 100 acres." ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Hu took out a booklet from herself, handed it to Song, and said, "This is the details of last year's harvest and land purchase in the south, please take a look at it." ”

Song took it, frowned, and didn't immediately open it to see.

Aunt Hu was worried about Song's criticism, and hurriedly explained: "These are all next to our family's acres, but there are also those that are far away to sell, but ten acres and eight acres, fragmented, difficult to manage in the future, and it is not appropriate to send more people out, and the price is four or five times that of previous years." ”

Song frowned slightly, and sighed lightly: "You have also worked hard, it is indeed difficult to buy land in this peaceful and prosperous world, unless we take it by force, we are not such a vicious family." ”

Aunt Hu said with a smile: "We are naturally not that kind of family, in the south, who does not praise Mrs. for her kindness, she is a bodhisattva, and she looks like the Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple." ”

Song didn't laugh, and snorted coldly in his nose: "There is no one else to praise, it must be those poor people in the clan, who come to you to borrow rice and grain, and say a few nice words in vain." ”

Aunt Hu thought for a while, and said carefully to the Song family: "It's also good, there are also those who put the master's money in front of the slaves and maids, this is nothing, this is also the master, but he does something that the master should not do, planting our family's land and relying on not giving rent, and those who are shameless, pretending to be our family and running to collect rent, the slave knows and goes to him to theorize, but he says that this is what our family owes him, if it weren't for the old lady who insisted on following Emperor Yingzong to the south, but sent the family property to others, why would they be so poor as this......"

Before he finished speaking, Song had already stood up, slapped his hand on the table, and shouted with a pale face: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." It was discussed by everyone in the clan, why did it become a hard decision made by the grandfather? If he is not afraid of death, don't go south, now that he is poor, he will complain about people. ”

Aunt Hu rarely saw the Song family so angry, so she couldn't help but shrink a little, and persuaded in a low voice: "Madame doesn't have to be as knowledgeable as that villain, but she just wants to take advantage of our family, and she is just a slave with a stupid mouth and a stupid brain, why do you mention such a thing, and I am angry with Madame." It's really worth fighting. ”

Aunt Hu said that, and slapped herself with a gesture.

Song Shi suppressed his breath at this time, sat down again, smiled again, and said, "Stop." Fortunately, you mentioned this stubble, otherwise I would have been kept in the dark, and I would have treated them wholeheartedly as if they were still good. Alas, it's hard to be a good person these days. ”

Mrs. Hu followed Song's tone and said: "It is Shengmi En's fight against rice, Mrs. is too good to them, not to mention rent reduction, and they also give them rice, noodles and meat during the New Year's Festival, they don't say that Mrs. is kind, they should only give it to them, but they are not greedy enough, and they are pressing step by step, thinking that our family is easy to bully." ”

Song's face was gloomy, and his fingers just tapped on the pamphlet on the table, without saying a word.

Aunt Hu said again: "They just have to force each other with the master's posture, and the slave and maid are very embarrassed to see the steward over there, plus the distance between the two sides is too far, not to mention the time it takes to go back and forth, and it costs more money." In the humble opinion of the slave and maid, the lady might as well sell the acres of land over there, buy a property near the house, and have the lady and master in charge, to see who dares to come and pretend to be the master. ”

When the Song family heard this, he glanced at Aunt Hu and sighed: "You have served me since I was a child, I have always regarded you as my right-hand man, and I will not hide it from you, in recent years, the world has been peaceful, and it has become more and more prosperous here. Moreover, there are royal estates full of royal clansmen here, even if they really take tens of thousands of silver, there is nowhere to buy them. But if you don't buy some acres of land, the family will have a lot of things, and it will not be a long-term plan after all, so you have to plan for the future of Cheng'er and their juniors. ”

After saying this, Aunt Hu also fell silent, and couldn't help but think in her heart, if she hadn't hurriedly sold the land of the grange to the Yu family when she went to the south that year, and she wouldn't have embarrassed her wife like this, they wouldn't have to run back and forth from south to north, and the family would not have to be reunited.

It's just that this can't be said to the Song family, Aunt Hu thought about it, and then smiled again: "Madame's motherly heart is really respectable, but then again, Brother Cheng'er was raised in a young man, and we have all heard about it in the south, which shows his talent, and he will win the champion in the future, become a high-ranking official, and the emperor will naturally be rewarded with gold and silver." I heard that several other masters are also smart and can read, and they will become talented in the future, so Mrs. just wait to be Mrs. ”

The Song family had a little joy on his face, and said in his mouth: "It's all good now, borrow your good words, I hope that the Qiu family can prosper again in their hands in the future." ”

Aunt Hu said with a smile: "I heard a few years ago that someone saw green smoke coming out of the place where our ancestors were sleeping, which may indicate that our family is going to get up." Hello buddies, Sister Qing is better, the slave and maid are considered to have gone south and north, and I have never seen a beautiful and talented woman like her, and she will be able to marry into a high gate in the future, and maybe she will become a princess. ”
