Chapter 210: The Grange

In his own territory, naturally everything is easy to say, and the coachman who can be sent by the Zhang family to monitor Lin Yu is not stupid. However, his task was also completed, Lin Yu was very honest along the way, he didn't get off the carriage all day, and he didn't communicate much with the guards, so it was impossible to pass on any evidence.

Therefore, after receiving the ten taels of silver given by Lin Yu, the coachman left very calmly, leaving Lin Yu and Xiaobai.

"You said you have three or four Zhuangzi here, is it really fake?" After being nervous for so many days, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, Xiaobai really wanted to shout on the street. However, even though it was only a town, it was also prosperous, and people came and went, so this thought was just thought about in my heart, and I pressed it down, and turned to ask about other things.

Lin Yu was also quite relaxed, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Really, my Zhuangzi, except for one in Xishan, are all here." ”

"How to get there? Since there is Zhuangzi, let's not live here, let's go straight over. Xiaobai smiled, "However, I really didn't expect you to be inconspicuous, and you have a lot of family property." ”

"It's not too much, it's just a lot less." Lin Yu said with a smile, "As for how to go, I don't know the road, I only know that the biggest one in the road is called Zhaozhuang, and there is a small mansion against the mountain." Although it is not as good as those exquisite gardens, it is also made of green bricks and tiles, which is quite a bit of a pastoral taste. ”

"Since the name of Zhilu Dao is easy to do, just find a carriage on the street, these coachmen have been begging for a living here for many years, and they must know where Lu Dao is."

The town is not small, and there are also carriages and horses. So Lin Yu and the two spent two dollars of silver to hire a carriage, all the way to Zhaozhuang, with farmland on both sides. In the distance, I saw a small village, and there were hundreds of families.

"This is it, I have been back to the last place, and the residence of the Zhuangzi steward seems to be at the entrance of the village." Lin Yu got out of the carriage and gave the money, while Xiaobai also jumped out of the carriage with a small package on his back. Looking around, it was just after noon, and the sun was very strong. There are many people resting under the trees at the entrance of the village, in addition to the elderly and children, there are also some middle-aged people.

Lin Yu was still wearing the clothes he got at Zhang's house, which was very gorgeous. In the sun, the silk and satin beads are shining. It is more and more lined with the whole person's radiant and handsome appearance.

Her appearance and dress were so conspicuous that the people who were resting at the entrance of the village saw it from afar, and several of them were seen by Lin Yu when the two of them came, and hurriedly went to call the steward of the grange where the village lived at the entrance of the village, and the main family came.

This piece of land, although not the best good land, is also the middle and upper land. The production has always been good, and it originally belonged to three landlords.

A son was not raised. Fighting with people in the Qinglou, making a lot of trouble, ordinary people, if they get into a lawsuit, they have to peel off their skin, and the wife and brother of a Beijing official who were injured and killed were injured to death.

The other has not only land, but also business shops, etc., although I have bought the land for a few years, but always feel that the income is limited, and the business was not good at that time, and I sold the land and wanted to reinvest and improve the business.

Therefore, the land was very close to the small village left by Lin Ruoyu's father and the field that Mrs. Lin helped to buy and sell the property of the criminal's family, so Lin Yu bought this piece of land so that it could be managed in a unified manner. However, the head steward of the village appointed a different one, and also set a performance salary, so as not to be too slack.

Being the steward of the grange is actually quite good, there is oil and water fishing, but it is far away from the city, and the traffic is not very convenient. Seeing that Chen Daping, the steward of this Zhuangzi, had been in charge for less than a year, his figure was tall, and his face was shiny, and he knew that he was living a very comfortable life.

Chen Daping is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, and has two daughters and a child. The eldest daughter is a maid at Lin Yu, although she is not first-class, she is also more decent. He is not the kind of person who has the intention to hide treachery, and the gray income is some, but it is not too much, because it was Lin Yu who helped him in the most difficult time, and he was quite loyal to Lin Yu.

As soon as he heard that Lin Yu was coming, he brought the Chen family's wife and children to greet him, his son was only four or five years old, and his youngest daughter was thirteen or fourteen years old.

"I don't know if Miss Lu Dao is here today, it's really unexpected." He led people up to salute, and after saluting, he smiled. "It's hot outside, come inside and drink tea to cool off."

Lin Yu nodded, walked all the way to the steward's residence, and exchanged a few words of greeting along the way, many words, not good to say in front of people.

The lady of the Chen family is in her thirties, with white skin and a slight wrinkle on her face, waiting for Lin Yu to sit down, she hurriedly poured tea over, "There is no good tea, Miss don't dislike it, it's good to drink a little." The cup is new, I bought it before, and I haven't used it yet. ”

Lin Yu took a sip of the coarse porcelain teacup, and Fang smiled, "It's not bad." ”

Chen Daping saw what Lin Yu meant, as if he had something to say, and he also had some doubts in his heart, so he asked his wife to take the children out of Lu temporarily, and Xiaobai also followed out of Lu, asking for water to wash his face, change his skin mask, and it was still very stuffy to bring that thing.

"Miss, how did I hear that you left Beijing?" Chen Daping saw that everyone was gone, and Fang Shen said mysteriously, "Why did you come back suddenly?" ”

The matter between Lin Yu and the Seventh Prince is still quite big, not to mention that these people all live on Lin Yu, and they are even more concerned. The Seventh Prince is going to get married, and the bride is not her, so it is inevitable to guess in her heart, because she didn't know that there was an elopement scene in Lu Dao, so she thought that Lin Yu was specially avoided, so as to avoid public opinion scandals and save embarrassment.

"This is not something that can be explained in one word, you don't have to worry about so much." Lin Yu said, "At the moment, there is another important matter for you to do, find someone with a strict mouth, and go into the city to report to Sister Qingqing and Mrs. Yin." Well, it's inevitable that you will go on a trip, you go to the eldest lady, and then ask her to send someone to inform Mrs. Yin. In addition, I will ask someone to clean the house over there, and I will stay for a few days. ”

"Running errands is a trivial matter, but Second Miss, do you have anything you want me to bring over?" Chen Daping said.

"There's nothing to say, just that Xiaobai and I are back, and everything is fine." Lin Yu thought about it, and couldn't say a thousand words for a while, and only this sentence was the most important thing to do.

Chen Daping responded and called his wife in, and at this time, the deputy steward and several servants who took care of the house also came with their wives. Chen Daping instructed his wife to take care of the young lady, and if there were any requirements, he must meet them, and he drove the carriage into the city to report the news. Although there are no people living in the house, the deputy steward is still dutiful, and the main house is sprinkled and cleaned every two days, and now it is good to clean it a little, and it is not troublesome, but it will not be able to live in until the evening.

Therefore, after seeing Lin Yu, the deputy steward took a few servants back to sprinkle and prepare, leaving the Chen family lady to take care of Lin Yu.

"I'm finally done, when can we eat?" Xiaobai touched his flat stomach and said, "We haven't eaten lunch yet, aren't you hungry." ”

"I don't feel anything, but living in Zhuangzi also has the benefits of Zhuangzi, I have already asked someone to kill chickens, do you want to eat Babao chicken or call it flower chicken or earth pot chicken, or have other ideas? I would like to eat the chicken on the wood fire. When Lin Yu heard this, he smiled. (To be continued.) )
