"Steward Kuang, Steward Liu!"
"Yo, Master Zhang, where are you here?"
Steward Kuang and Liu Shun walked to the herbal tea shop opposite the yamen, and greeted Zhang Yi happily, Zhang Yi is a person who eats imperial grain, but now he is doing things for Mrs. Shizi, this shout made him sweat a little.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, you two are polite, but what do you want to do when you get the news?"
"Yes, yes, just now Zhang Yuan in your mansion sent a message, and my wife asked the two of us to come over, but Zhang Ye is the head of the horse."
"Oh, housekeeper, let's not talk to each other as a family, just call me a little Zhang."
"Yo, I'm so sorry, you're a person who eats imperial food."
"You're out of sight, aren't you? What is the emperor's grain or not the emperor's grain, isn't this all for the masters, just call Xiao Zhang. ”
"Okay, just call Xiao Zhang."
"Hey, how good is this, let's get closer and closer in the future."
changed the name, the three of them were more intimate, the housekeeper asked the store to re-serve a pot of good tea, and ordered a few good snacks, slowly eating and waiting for the news, avoiding people, the housekeeper also stuffed Zhang Yi with a purse, and asked him to use it up and down.
This purse, Zhang Yi took it generously, originally, he also had to give people a pen fee to do these things, the two families did it together, naturally they had to give people double copies, and they couldn't have to pay out of their own pockets to run errands, right? He has never suffered this kind of loss, and now it seems that Steward Kuang and Liu Shun are also interested.
It didn't take long for a wooden-faced warden to come out of the yamen, Zhang Yi stood up and walked over as soon as he saw it, and the housekeeper and Liu Shun also hurriedly followed, the shopkeeper's mouth was not open, Liu Shun slapped a piece of broken silver on the table, how much or less, the shopkeeper was happy, and shouted that the guest officer would come again.
Before dark, Li Niang got three granges and three shops, and got eight hundred acres of land, Lin Cuiping got two shops in one grange, and also one hundred and sixty acres of land.
Two shops, Li Niang handed over to Zhang Yi to deal with, there were originally merchants renting, taking the new contract to renew the lease, and collecting the rent once a year in the future, which saved a lot of trouble.
The Grange has to spend more thought, the spring ploughing of Xinliuzhuang has already begun, and the newly bought Grange is also on the right track as soon as possible.
Seeing that there were still five days to rest, Li Niang decided to go out of the city, walk around the three granges, find out the situation of the village and the fields, and quickly work out the corresponding planting plan.
She went to the old lady to say goodbye, and told her about it by the way.
"My granddaughter-in-law will come back after a circle, without much delay, I will stay outside for about two nights and come back the afternoon after tomorrow."
She explained very carefully, and the old lady thought for a while and said: "Your martial arts are trustworthy, but it is always a little inconvenient for us women to act when we women go out, so you can bring a few more people, Mrs. Shizi, you still have to have the prestige you should have." ”
Later, Li Niang saw a few people outside the second gate, and asked God, is this a few people? Are you sure you didn't say a word, old lady?
Zhang Fang, the head of the guard, hugged his fists and smiled: "Madam, please get in the car, the distance to Qinghezhuang is a little far, I suggest that the two maids should sit in the car, and there is nothing to chat with you, so it doesn't feel far away." ”
"There is Lao Zhang's guard, in fact, there is no need to go so many people, leave ten, and the others will go back, I have received your wishes, but the safety of the house is more important." After Li Niang finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Jia, "You also stay, Zhang Yi will go with me, that's all." ”
Are you kidding, the maid she took Chi Niangzi and Qiu Yue, Zhang Yuan to catch the car, plus a Zhang Yi she wanted to cultivate, this team is light and simple, how good wow, you have thirty people coming out, what are you going to do, the prestige of Mrs. Shizi is not so pompous.
After speaking, she stepped on the small stool and got into the car, expressing her resolute attitude, Zhang Fang was a little distressed, turned her head to look at Zhang Jia and signaled him to take an idea, Zhang Jia smiled: "Just do what Mrs. said, there will be Lao brothers along the way." ”
"I don't like to hear what you say, and if you're a brother, you shouldn't say such an outrageous thing." Zhang Fang pretended to be angry and gave Zhang Jia a punch, but he laughed first, "Let's go, you take care of the house, and Brother Hui will bring you something delicious." ”
"Tut, how long has it been since you've seen the world? As soon as you say it, you'll be so happy that you can't find the north. Zhang Jia despised Zhang Fang, whispered a few words to Zhang Yi, and then watched the team of people walk out of the Guogong Mansion through the side door.
The team walked on the street, it was really a wind, it was really a great majesty, three women sat in the car, except for Zhang Yuan to catch the car, the remaining eleven men all rode horses, this year can afford to raise so many good horses, ordinary people can't do it, people don't need to look at the family emblem on the carriage, they already know that this is the noble hairpin family.
The three newly bought Zhuangzi are Qinghezhuang, Liantaizhuang and Damaizhuang, Qinghezhuang is the farthest, in the north of the capital, and Liantaizhuang and Damaizhuang are in the south of the capital, these two are next to each other, and they were originally the Zhuangzi of Liangwangfu.
According to the plan, Li Niang will rest in Qinghezhuang tonight, and rest in Liantaizhuang tomorrow night, the horse is faster than the car, and when she came out of the city gate, Zhang Yi and the two guards took the first step to arrange, and they didn't know how to mess up it, so they had to be prepared first.
Li Niang said to Chi Niangzi: "Look at this Zhang Yi, he usually looks very dull as a person, but he is also resolute in his actions. ”
Chi Niangzi glanced at Qiu Yue before saying, "I heard that he is not very interested in marching and fighting, but he likes to do these things." ”
"Maybe it's because he saw through his essence that the prince let him stay in the house for a long time, Zhang Jia is also a managerial talent, both brothers are good, leading troops to fight may not be good, but financial management is very good." Li Niang said with great interest, not noticing that Qiu Yue's low little face was slightly red, but her ears were erected high, and the little lady was tempted.
Chi Niangzi was enthusiastic, and asked Li Niang about the family history of the four pro-soldiers of A, B, C and Ding, Li Niang only said that they were war orphans, and they were brought back from Biansai by the old man, they had no relatives and no reason in this world, and they took the British Mansion as their home, and their loyalty was undoubted, and the others did not say much.
Chi Niangzi also stopped in moderation, and turned to talk about Chunhua, this little girl's injury is getting better quickly, and now in addition to not being able to run or jump, she can do all kinds of housework, she can't stay at home anymore, so she brought a message to Zhuang Tou, saying that she wants to go back to the house to serve Mrs. Shizi.
Li Niang said: "She thinks it's okay, then let her come back, and when she passes by Xinliuzhuang, let the chief of the guard send someone in to deliver a message, telling her to get ready, and let's pick her up tomorrow morning." (To be continued.) )
