Chapter Seventy-Four: A Visit from the Descendants
Cui Lu heard the sound, his eyes swept over, and when he saw that it was Jing Ci, he walked towards her expressionlessly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What are you doing?" She asked him.
"Repossess the land."
The woman in the field cried and caught up, "Cui Langjun, you can't do this......"
Hua Zhou, the entourage beside Cui Lu, was quite impatient, and said coldly: "The money has already been supplied to you by my family, don't take an inch." β
"Woooooooooo......oo This can't be done...... I don't want money, I just want land, please...... Woo woo woo ...... "Tian Shenu began to pull Hua Zhou.
Hua Zhou withdrew his hand with disgust, he was a man of force, and the woman fell to the ground with a pop, "Ouch hey-you bullies can't bully me like this, an old woman woo...... Those who kill a thousand knives have no conscience and thunder and ......"
The field woman simply lay down in the mud and couldn't get up, and began to curse.
"What's going on?" Jing Ci looked at Cui Lu.
Cui Rui looked helpless.
"You...... Bullying? She said what was on her mind.
"I don't take this dirty water," Cui Qi snorted, "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way, and Cui also pays attention to the law in doing things." β
"Little lady Yang, you misunderstood our family Langjun," Hua Zhou knew that the master's words were different from others, so he defended the master, "My family Langjun won a hundred acres of land from Wu Chongxun, and the master didn't want to continue to rent out the land, so he made up a large amount of money, but no matter how we made up the money, this tenant refused to leave, and my master couldn't do it." β
"How do you tell us to live without land! That's the ancestral land, forcibly occupied by the wicked man......" The field woman cried and beat the mud ground, looking distressed and unable to live.
The field is the foundation of the farmer's family, and if there is no land, there is no foundation, and it is the ancestral land of the people, and it is the foundation.
"Since it was caused by Wu Chongxun's evil deeds, aren't you continuing his evil deeds? No, you're even more hateful, and you're going to drive the farmers away. In Jing Ci's cognition, they forcibly occupy the fields and drive people away. Wu Chongxun wants to get someone else's field tax without work, he Cui Lu is good, and if he wins a bet, he directly drives the farmers away, isn't it a hundred times more hateful?
"I have my own reasoning." Cui Luo said, guessing based on what she sees with her eyes, what is not done by smart people, her vision is inevitably smaller.
"Or ...... You are in cahoots with Wu Chongxun at all? As soon as the idea came out, Jing Ci immediately turned cold, this person is crazy to make money.
"Do you think I'm in the same league as Wu Chongxun?" He stared at her faintly.
"I ......," she hesitated, "I ask you." β
He sneered, "You think so." β
He grimaced, turned and strode away.
"Heyβ" Jing Ci stopped talking, his eyes stunned as he looked at his back as he left, drifting away.
"Ahh......h Woowoowoo......"
The misery of the Tian Shewoman is obvious to all, Jing Ci sighed, the rich have no place to stand, and the poor have no place to stand.
"Don't cry, can I make up some more money for you? Qingnu, give her five times of money. β
Even though it can't help her for the rest of her life, this five times is enough money for her to support her family for several years.
"I don't want money, I just want the land......
Some onlookers couldn't look past it, and they couldn't stop thousands of persuasions.
"I said Mrs. Xu, don't take it personally, then Cui Langjun has given you fifty yuan! With just a few acres of land, you can't earn money from planting it for many years. I envy you, don't say fifty dollars, I can wake up with a smile for ten dollars. β
Fifty dollars?
Jing Ci was stunned, unable to believe his ears. Cui Qi gave her fifty yuan? That's the month of being a second-class official for nearly half a year!
"That's her husband's land, how can she have the face to meet her dead in-laws." There are also people who see the matter from her point of view.
So it seems......
Jing Ci pursed her lips, could it be that she misunderstood Cui Lu?
Fifty yuan is a high price for land, and if he is ruthless, it is not too much to drive the tenants away.
Jing Ci thought so, and the guilt suddenly floated up, she really didn't expect Cui Lu to make up so much money to the peasant woman, otherwise she wouldn't feel that he was in the same league as Wu Chongxun......
Count her sorry for him once, and apologize next time.
But after thinking about it, why did Cui Luzheng do so much? It is levied and not rented to farmers.
There are always many tricks in businessmen.
"Siniang, let's leave it alone." Fang Nian came over after sending the money and gently pulled his master.
"Give her five cents of money, out of my moon."
She is not a yamen official, and she can't judge such a thousand things.
"You keep this money, which can be regarded as compensation for Cui Lu. Whether the money is to buy land or make a business, let's see for yourself. "That's all she can do.
"Siniang, just now that Cui Langjun treated you like this, you still help him compensate?" Fang Nian pouted and hugged the master.
Jing Ci pouted, that's it, why is Cui Lu so angry? was misunderstood and refused to have the slightest explanation, and left without looking back, he was too proud.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Back at Yang's Mansion, Yang Weiwei happened to send someone to the courtyard, saying that there was a guest from the inner hall.
It's really not idle for a moment.
This is just help, and the housewife is probably not the only one to be busy.
Halfway down the road, she bumped into Yang Weiwei.
"It's the people of the clan who come to pay New Year's greetings."
"Who's in the clan?" Jing Zi is curious.
"The lineage, that is, the Guanguo Gong's side, the Yang family has a long history and many branches, and now most of our prestige families have contacts and dredging."
Inner nave.
While they were still outside the door, they heard loud voices inside, and there were more than one.
After the transmission, Jing Ci and Yang Weiwei walked into the house.
The main seat is Wang Wan, and on the left is a luxurious woman about thirty years old, Jing Ci recognizes her, she is the princess of Changning. Next to her was a woman in her forties, who was not as ostentatious as hers, but her temperament was very noble.
"I've seen Princess Changning, A-Niang." Jing Ci and Yang Weiwei spoke in unison.
"Siniang has grown a lot." The queen's eldest daughter, Princess Changning, smiled lightly, and her eyes were on Jing Ci, this clever girl, she was a sensation in Princess Taiping's mansion last time, she naturally remembered.
"I eat a lot of food on a cold day, so I don't feel that it has grown longer." Jing Ci responded with a smile.
Could it be that Princess Changning stared at her with a smile for a while, if this child is cultivated well, it is inevitable that he will not make great achievements.
"This is Siniang? Looks so good. The woman in her forties spoke.
"This is the aunt of the Yang clan." Wang Wan introduced.
"Jing Ci has seen my aunt."
"It is worthy of being a member of our Yang family." The aunt nodded appreciatively.
"Come and sit."
After sitting down, Jing Ci learned from their conversation that Princess Changning and this aunt are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Princess Changning came to the Yang family with her this time, just to meet with the eldest sister to catch up on the old days, it is said that they have a relationship when they were children, so the relationship is good. It's a pity that she didn't expect her eldest sister to go to Hufu to take care of family affairs, so she ran away in vain.
"Princess Changning will come if she wants to come in the future, and you don't have to be stubborn." Wang Wan said.
Princess Changning smiled, "I can't compare to Yan'er, she is very busy taking care of the Yang Mansion, I'm afraid that even if I have time, she won't be idle." β
"The princess and the eldest lady have been playing together since childhood, like sisters, and the eldest lady naturally has to be free when you come." Even if she didn't smile, Wang Wan's tone sounded pleased.
Jing Ci was slightly surprised, Ah Niang, who usually doesn't like to speak and be polite, could say this.
Sure enough, the princes and nobles, how can there be anyone who can't speak, only whether they are willing or not.
