It is Chang Fugui who manages Xu Zhuangzi, and Bai Shengchun who manages Lutang in the northern suburbs. Been, who is in charge of the house in Xinghua Lane, and there is also a house in Scissors Alley near Chen Qiaomen, which is managed by Fu Duozhao.

"There is a paddy field over there in the northern suburbs of Lutang, right? What are you planting? ”

Bai Shengchun got up and replied: "Miss Huiyu, although there are 100 acres of land over there, the terrain is low-lying, and there are more than 20 acres of land that cannot grow food. It is still mainly wheat-grown. ”

Rong Zheng thought to himself, as long as the paddy fields are taken care of, maybe they can grow rice, and they can't grow anything else in the low-lying areas, maybe they can plant some lotus roots or something. However, she doesn't know much about farming, and it's not good for her to point out when she first meets.

Rong Zheng nodded, and asked Chang Fugui again: "How much land is there in Tongxu, and what is in the ground?" ”

Chang Fugui got up and replied: "It's also a hundred acres, but most of it is sandy land, growing soybeans, wheat and watermelons. ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "It's still rich." ”

I also asked in detail how the harvest is every year. I asked who else was in the family, how to eat and dress, etc., very meticulously.

The four of them sighed in private, thinking that Rong Zheng was a very kind young lady.

Rong Zheng pulled down with them, and left Bai Shengchun at the end.

After the three of them left, Bai Shengchun stayed there with some trepidation.

"Lutang in the northern suburbs, not far from here, right?"

Bai Shengchun replied with some doubts: "Not far, not far." It takes two hours for a mule cart and less than an hour for a horseback. ”

Rong Zheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, I see." She thought to herself that if she went to see the land herself, it was also a relatively recent industry, and she had to find out, and it would be a pity to be so deserted. She thought so, but did not discuss it with Bai Shengchun.

After seeing these companions, Rong Zheng had a rough idea in his heart. So she went to Ma's side.

Ma had been prepared for a long time, but Rong Zheng did not ask Ma for the account book, but asked her for a word.

"Madam, I want to go to Lutang tomorrow to have a look."

"Where are you going to do something?" Ma felt a little baffled.

Rong Zheng smiled: "It's nothing, I just want to go out and have fun." I met Bai Shengchun today, and I heard that they had fun in Zhuangzi, so I wanted to go and see it. ”

Ma Shi was obviously relieved, and said with a smile: "Okay, I have to come back that day." Don't eat their stuff indiscriminately, the countrymen are not particular about it, and it will not be clean. ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "Mrs. bothered. I don't need a wife's person. The nursing home in the outer courtyard and the rough mother-in-law are ready-made, and it is enough for me to bring two more maids. ”

Ma didn't want to care so much, and said with a smile: "Cheng, you have a good time." ”

After Rong Zheng left, Mama Zhou was shocked into a cold sweat.

Ma smiled: "What do I say, but a playful child, what is there to be afraid of." ”

Mama Zhou smiled weakly: "Mrs. is right." ”

After breakfast the next day, Rong Zheng went to Ma's house to ask for peace.

Rong Sheng wanted to pull Rong Zheng to speak, but Rong Zheng didn't have time to deal with this little girl, so he took his leave. Before she could get out of the yard, she heard Rong Sheng's crying voice from behind: "I'm going too, my sister can go out, why can't I?" ”

Immediately followed by Ma's low scolding: "If you don't learn well all day long, how can you learn needlework and thread?" ”

"Mother eccentric!"

Rong Zheng didn't feel it in her heart, her stepmother was not partial to her, she was conniving, and hoped that Tong Guò would raise herself like this.

She walked briskly out of the yard. The car and its entourage were already waiting.

Rong Zheng got into the carriage, and Zi Su handed her the hand stove, but Rong Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm not cold." ”

After the car left Xinzheng Gate, it went all the way north.

At this time, it was still a cold spring season, and the branches did not bud, and it looked a little bleak. There is not much to see outside.

Zi Su looked at the gloomy weather outside and sighed: "It's a little cold today, and Miss didn't pick a good weather to go out." ”

Rong Zheng said: "I decided something yesterday, how did I know that there is no sun today." ”

Zi Su smiled: "Why does Miss want to go to the village to have a look, I haven't heard you mention it before." ”

Rong Zheng said in a trance: "People can't be confused for the rest of their lives, my mother is gone, if I can't keep these properties left behind, how can I have the face to see her in the future." Besides, it's good that I learn to do these things now, and I won't be bullied in the future. ”

Shiso pursed her lips and nodded with a smile.

Rong Zheng has no plans to reconcile with Ma's at present, she has to find out her property and then deal with Ma's, she will also let her father know that she has the ability to take care of these, and her father will rest assured that she will hand over these properties to her. Let Ma take care of everything, after all, it is not appropriate.

The road to Lutang is not an official road, naturally it is not so smooth and easy to walk, the road is bumpy, and Rong Zheng is a little dizzy in the car. By the time I arrived at Lutang, it was almost noon.

The Bai family was caught off guard, who would have thought that Rong Zheng would come suddenly. Bai Shengchun hurriedly called his own lady to come out to greet Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng got out of the carriage with the support of Shiso.

Bai Shengchun's family hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Why is Miss here, please sit in the house quickly." "I also feel that there is no good life at home, and I am afraid that I will pickle the Rong Zheng.

Bai Shengchun's family helped Zisu to help Rong Zheng, and Rong Zheng smiled: "I came suddenly, and I caused you a mess." ”

Bai Shengchun's family hurriedly said: "The arrival of Miss is our blessing. Miss watch out for your step. ”

Rong Zheng seemed to see two girls rushing in front of him, but in the blink of an eye, the two girls disappeared again. She thought she was dazzled.

Bai Shengchun's family shouted with a calm face: "Plum blossoms, pear blossoms, what are you running, Miss, why don't you come and say hello to Miss." ”

Bai Shengchun's family invited Rong Zheng to sit in the hall, and hurriedly urged Bai Shengchun to boil water to wash Rong Zheng's face and hands.

Rong Zheng saw that they were a little too busy, so he nodded and said, "It's okay." Then he gave Shiso a look and asked her to help. Shiso retreated.

Bai Shengchun's family pulled out two girls and asked them to kowtow to Rong Zheng.

The plum blossom and pear blossom sisters were still a little timid, and they came to the front tremblingly, bowing their heads and kowtowing to Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng looked at it in turn, and the plum blossom was a little taller, combed a braid and hung down on the back of his head. A emerald cotton jacket skirt. Pear Blossom looked smaller, combed two mustaches, looked like she was no more than seven or eight years old, smiled and said, "It's all good boys, get up quickly." ”

Plum blossoms stood there in a regular manner, a pair of eyes did not glance casually, very obedient, pear blossom because it was a child, couldn't help but be curious, a pair of round eyes secretly looked at Rong Zheng. Seeing the appearance of Rong Zheng and the moon, and wearing beautiful jewelry and beautiful clothes, he was very envious at that time.

When Rong Zheng saw her, she suddenly remembered that Sister Qi was coming, and she also brought two boxes of candy with her. Let the mother-in-law take it in, grab a handful of it herself, and stuff it into Lihua's hand.

Lihua was a little surprised, Bai Shengchun's family pushed down the little daughter, and said busily: "Don't hurry up and thank the young lady." ”

Rong Zheng waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it's all little girls, don't scare them." ”

Bai Shengchun's family said apologetically: "The children's family has no knowledge, so the young lady laughed at it." ”
