There are not many things on Xiaohu's side, but there are a lot to say: "Xiaolong is a little powerful!" Those people don't dare to block Xiaolong now, whether it's overt or secret, and when Xiaolong assigns things to go down, they no longer go against the law. The few people arranged by Xiaolong are almost familiar, and it is estimated that they will be able to use it after a while. ”

"Hmmm! That's good, but those who are secretly watching will continue to stare at it, so that Xiaolong will not relax. ”

"Keep an eye on it! Since sending the women of the Yan family away, all the manpower here has been released, not to mention one staring at one, even two staring at one is enough. The people who traveled from the world have already heard the news that they have already touched the nests of several mountain bandits, and they are waiting for them to come down the mountain again to rob them in the spring of next year, and take their nests. The bandits who robbed outside were cleaned up by our people. What is really difficult now is the Yan family, they haven't made any movement, and they can't catch their loopholes if they want to. Xiaolong said that if the Yan family woman directly served his house when she denounced it, it would have been ended, but now there is no reason to do it. However, I thought that since they had done it, there must be traces, and one day they would find their handle. ”

Erya agrees with this view, "Yes! As long as he did it, it was impossible to be without traces. If that steplady is really the daughter of a bandit, she may be able to find some flaws by keeping an eye on the family that she borrowed under her false name. After confirming her true identity, she borrowed the identity of the Yan family's original wife's mother's family to sue the Yan family's favored concubine for killing his wife, colluding with the concubine's mother's family as a robber and bandit, robbing the original wife's mother's family and killing the head of the family. There's a clear excuse for that. Give the Yan family a face-up, and you can also keep the few children of the woman in the Yan family. ”

"Xiaolong has already arranged for someone to keep an eye on that house, but he hasn't gotten any useful news for so long. Xiaolong was a little anxious. ”

"What's the urgency?! Let the little dragon be patient and wait! What about the capital? Is there a letter?! ”

"It's coming! Sent with Mr., two letters from Lao Hou, one from Dahong and one from Xiangzi. Dahong: They originally kept those houses that were specially rented for the entrance examination in Beijing, didn't no one rent them originally? Now that it is not enough, they have all squeezed their heads to rent their houses, and the rent has been coaxed up to ten taels of silver a month by those who have stayed in the capital to continue the next exam, and they still can't rent a house. No one wants to let it.

At the beginning, Dahong and Xiangzi thought that they had received such a high rent from others, and they were a little embarrassed, so they provided three meals a day. Do it according to the standard of 100 wen a day. There are two kinds of steamed buns in the morning, milk and meat and vegetarian buns, two meats, two vegetables and one soup at noon, and one meat, one vegetarian and one soup in the evening. Those who lift people to eat on time and on time are better than guest houses. Tenants who rent first. It seems to be more cost-effective to watch them eat and drink for ten taels of silver. All of them gave Dahong more money, and they also asked for ten taels of silver a month to eat and drink. However, this is not the biggest reason why these people want to rent their houses! ”

Xiaohu sold a pass as he spoke, and Erya followed his bad taste and asked, "What other gimmicks can't be done?" ”

"Hey! This gimmick is huge! Dahong said in the letter that their community is no longer called 'Future Residence', and has been called 'Champion Residence' by the surrounding people. What's more, Zhang Haoyu and Zhao Qingchun go twice a month. Mentor those who lift up. Hey! Dahong said that the community they built in Mao'er Hutong has not yet been completed. It's already been snapped up. And all of them are paid in one lump sum, and none of them are bought in the form of renting. Dahong and Xiangzi are so beautiful, if it weren't for the fact that it was a little far away and inconvenient to come, I thought they would just run in front of me to show off. ”

"They don't just want to be happy and forget about what we entrusted them!"

"No, no! And they said those things in their letters. The carpenter's shop was brought up by Li Changxing, and according to the method of assembly operation, it has been started for a period of time, and the Grange has also been implemented. Speaking of this, Xiaohu suddenly sighed and said, "Alas! Speaking of the Grange, Xiangzi also talked about the bad things about Zhang Haoyu's family in the letter. ”

Erya asked strangely: "What can be the bad thing about Zhang Haoyu's family?" They don't have their parents-in-law on them, and the children below are still young, which is equivalent to a small couple living a life, how light and economical! Who can give them a grunge?! ”

Xiaohu shook his head and sighed: "Hi! Who could there be? He's a father-in-law! I really don't know what all those things in their officialdom are. Xiangzi said that Zhang Haoyu's father-in-law was from one team, the Kong family was from another team, and the Qin family was from another team. Zhang Haoyu's father-in-law asked Zhang Haoyu to be in a team with him, Zhang Haoyu didn't listen to his father-in-law, and his father-in-law was angry. scolded in front of his daughter who returned to her parents' house, scolding Zhang Haoyu for being a lowly life, deserving to have no father and no mother, relying on other people's charity to get the top prize, pretending to be high in front of him.

It's enjoyable for him to scold like this, but the maids who accompanied Zhang Haoyu's daughter-in-law back to her parents' house also despised Zhang Haoyu. Zhang Haoyu's daughter-in-law didn't know why she never cared about it, until she was so bold that she ignored Zhang Haoyu's orders, and even more dared to roll her eyes at Zhang Haoyu. This completely angered Zhang Haoyu!

It turned out that we paid Zhang Haoyu to buy a grange in the suburbs of Beijing. He obediently bought a small grange of more than 100 acres, and when his daughter-in-law entered the door, he handed it over to her to manage. Who knows, his daughter-in-law replaced the original steward with her dowry slave, and her servant bullied the original steward and had nowhere to stay, so she had to beg Zhang Haoyu to find another place to stay. Zhang Haoyu was already very dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law's dowry slaves and maids because of this matter, and this time the maids around his daughter-in-law dared to treat him like this, could he not have a seizure! ”

Erya frowned and asked, "What happened later?" Does the letter say anything? ”

Xiaohu nodded: "It's said!" Zhang Haoyu was extremely angry, grasped this reason, and directly forced his daughter-in-law to take her dowry and slaves back to her parents' house to show off her power! Only then did his daughter-in-law know that she panicked and cried and begged for mercy. Later, Zhang Haoyu gave in, and all the slaves and maids were sent back to her parents' house, if she left one, she would automatically go back to her parents' house, and it was useless to beg for mercy. ”

"Then can his father-in-law be willing?"

Xiaohu sneered: "If you don't want to, you can do it!" Zhang Haoyu just killed those slaves and maids as a matter of course, and the evil slave bullying the master is a capital crime that can be killed with a rod! Zhang Haoyu is kind, and he is willing to let them go back alive. ”

"Alas!" Erya sighed, she still wanted to find Xiaolong's official daughter as a daughter-in-law. But if this official turns his face if he doesn't like it, it's also a big trouble!

Xiaohu thought that his daughter-in-law was sighing for Zhang Haoyu, so he comforted: "You don't have to worry about Zhang Haoyu, he has been an official for so many years, and he has done things well." In fact, he had already prepared the servants and servants to replace all his daughters-in-law's dowries, and now he found an excuse to drive him away directly, wouldn't it be better to keep none of them?! ”

Erya shook her head: "They have all taken root in officialdom, what do I have to worry about?!" I sighed because Xiaolong's relatives are not easy to find, and it is too hard to find a mother's family, so I am afraid that Xiaolong will be despised like Zhang Haoyu in the future, and find the right person, but I am afraid that his daughter-in-law will be despised by others in her relationship with the wife of the official family in the future. Alas! Left and right! ”

"Xiaolong's family affairs, do you want the Kong family to help find it? It seems to me that the daughter-in-law is very good, and her several dowries are also very regular, maybe the Kong family can also help find a similar one for Xiaolong. Although Xiaohu is a man who is a little careless, since his daughter-in-law mentioned it, he can also help come up with ideas. It is said that things gather people in groups, and since the tutor of the Kong family is so good, perhaps the tutor of someone who has a good relationship with his family is not far behind.

Erya pondered for a while before replying: "I also know that the daughter-in-law is very good, but I think about not being too involved with the Kong family and the Qin Mansion, so as not to unconsciously label our family as theirs." However, since you think the Confucian family has a good tutor, I don't have too many worries, anyway, we can't get rid of the relationship between the Qin family and the Kong family now. Just let it be! Ming'er, I will write to my daughter-in-law, asking her to think about the little sister who has a good personality and upbringing, and find one for Xiaolong. ”

After a while, Erya hurriedly said, "Oops! No, you talk to Xiaolong tonight first, and ask him what kind of person he wants to find, what height, face shape, personality, talent, anyway, the more detailed the better. Then I'll talk to my daughter-in-law about it, so it's easier to find one that suits Xiaolong's heart. ”

"Hey! Good! However, I'm afraid that Xiaolong will be shy and won't tell me! Xiaohu thought about it and was worried.

"Nope! A lifelong event, he won't be so unenlightened! ”

The next day, Erya finally got some of Xiaolong's requirements for his future daughter-in-law, and wrote a letter to his daughter-in-law. Then I followed Xiaohu to Qujiaao to visit the veterans who lived in the new house, the Peng family brothers and the people they brought.

They did not go directly to the residence of the employees at home, but went to Qujiaao first, and gave some salted meat, salted duck, salted fish, and sausages brought by Erya from home, and gave them a little bit to taste the taste.

Because the people of Qujiaao have worked with the Wang family to open up wasteland, every family has earned money, and this year will definitely be better than in previous years. Everyone was overjoyed, and when they saw Xiaohu and his wife coming over, they were still carrying things, on the one hand, they were very happy to see these two people, and on the other hand, they were embarrassed to always accept what they gave. But the children didn't have so many entanglements, and after knowing that the horses were carrying delicious things, they stood there and took root, unable to move, and looked at Erya and wanted to laugh.

"These are salty goods, and now the weather is freezing, you can eat them during the New Year, so don't look at them! Didn't I teach you to catch hares in cages before, and you haven't caught them? ”

One of the teenage children rushed to answer Erya: "I have been caught, there are several!" They all asked my mother to sell it for money, not to let us eat. ”

Erya smiled and shook her head, but did not speak. The poor life is like this, and no one can say whether the child's mother is right or wrong. (To be continued.) )
