Rong Zheng invited Bai Shengchun's family to sit in the flower hall, and Ruyi brought tea.

Bai Shengchun's family saw the plum blossom just now, wearing a turquoise armor and an ethereal skirt, which was much better than when he was at home, and he liked it in his heart.

Rong Zheng smiled and invited Bai Shengchun's family to tea, and then asked about the things in the field.

"How are the paddy fields being cleaned up? Have you planted rice? ”

Bai Shengchun's family said with a smile: "Not yet, the seedlings have just risen, and it will take some time to plant the seedlings." ”

Rong Zheng was not familiar with the matter of planting crops, and only knew that it was going smoothly, so he was also relieved.

Bai Shengchun's family talked to Rong Zheng about the weir pond not far from their farm. Bai Shengchun's family smiled: "Our mouth is hot-eyed, and we want to contract the weir pond, so let the slave come in and ask for the lady's instructions." ”

Rong Zheng was a little curious, and hurriedly asked: "Didn't Uncle Bai say that the weir pond was a public middle school last time?" ”

Bai Shengchun's family smiled: "It's a public middle school, but the chief here has the intention to find someone to take care of it." The man in our family was also an honest man, but the kid named Lei Bo found the head of the house and told him that it was better to discuss it with the young lady and see if we could take it down. If you manage it well, you can also make more profits. ”

Rong Zheng was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that it was Lei Bo's idea.

"How much does it cost?"

Bai Shengchun's family said: "The chief said that it costs thirty taels of silver a year, and if the contract is enough for ten years, it will only cost two hundred and fifty taels of silver." ”

Rong Zheng said: "I have seen that weir pond, it is indeed not small, and the water is not bad." We can raise some fish and shrimp by ourselves, plant some lotus roots, water chestnuts and so on. These can be exchanged for money. I don't know how much I can make in a year? ”

Bai Shengchun's family said with a smile: "Lei Bo said that the kid said that he was afraid that he would not be able to get back the capital in the first and second years, and he would be able to start making money in the third year." ”

Rong Zheng said in his heart, this Lei Bo is really a successful one. Don't say it's the Bai family, even if she listens to it, she is tempted. But she doesn't have much self-esteem, where can she get the more than two hundred taels of silver? It seems to be the biggest problem. The Bai family categorically couldn't come up with this money, otherwise they wouldn't have let the Bai family's mother and daughter go on this trip. Hateful! If only she could have a deal and save for a private house now.

Bai Shengchun's family's Rongzheng kept bowing his head and drinking tea. I didn't speak for a long time, and I couldn't help but go up and down in my heart, and said in my heart, didn't Rong Zheng agree? That's right. She is a little girl, she has only turned thirteen years old, and she hasn't even said anything about her relatives, so she must have no idea where she has done anything. But I still want to sue sù Rong Zheng for this matter. She has to pay to take it down.

Rong Zheng thought about it for a long time, then put down the tea cup in his hand and said briskly: "Auntie, you said that I know, this thing can be done." It's just money...... "Her expression was slightly confused, and her cheeks were red, "Auntie, you know, I am a boudoir woman, and I don't have any property in my name, and I have no place to save money." If the number of tens of taels or I can still grit my teeth and make up some, it will be a large number of hundreds......"

Although Bai Shengchun's family had already expected it. couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and said with a strong face: "Miss doesn't say that the slave also knows, let's think of a way to deal with the money ourselves." ”

Rong Zheng said in his heart If it weren't for the fact that the Bai family was really difficult and couldn't get this money, why bother looking for her again. A gentle smile appeared on her face, and she said firmly, "It's better for me to think about it, maybe it's easier." Besides, you are my mother's people, and I have to take care of you. ”

Bai Shengchun's family had Rong Zheng's sentence, as if he had taken a reassuring pill, his smile became brighter, and he hurriedly said, "If only Miss could help find a way." Of course, it couldn't be better. You know, we ......"

Rong Zheng patted Bai Shengchun's hand and said, "Auntie, I understand, I was ignorant a few years ago. It's not good for me to not take care of you. Now as long as we work together to take care of the reed pond, it will be a different scene in two or three years. ”

Bai Shengchun's laughter was full of tears.

Rong Zheng was full of gratitude to Bai Shengchun's family, and she was grateful that she did not go straight to the Ma family to discuss the matter, but found herself. What her mother left her. She wants to take care of herself.

After Bai Shengchun's family left, Rong Zheng really fell into a difficult situation. Last time, she gave Ziying a dowry, and the silver sent by her father, how could she be embarrassed to ask her father about the weir pond this time.

If you don't have economic power in your hands, it's really hard to do something.

Rong Zheng couldn't sleep at night to raise money, and finally as a last resort, she asked Zisu to open a small box under the chest of drawers. The things inside are the treasures and toys given to her by her grandfather over the years, these are not things at home, they are her private property, and they are not in this booklet.

Rong Zheng picked and chose once, she picked out two chrysanthemum hairpins with red gold inlaid with ruby that she couldn't use for the time being, and picked out shrimp bracelets. I was afraid that it was not enough, so I chose an emerald wrench. A few things filled the box.

"You can help me take it out tomorrow, find a reliable pawnshop, and help me take these as pawns."

"Miss, do you really want to be?"

"Otherwise, where will the money come from? I almost did this last time Ziying's dowry, but fortunately, my father saved the emergency, so I won't bother his old man this time, I'll just handle it myself. These things are in good condition, and they should be a good price. ”

Shisu took it, although the thing was not sinking, but her heart was heavy.

Rong Zheng saw her sad face and hurriedly asked, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

Zi Su snorted: "Miss, the slave maid thinks that this matter is serious, and I am afraid that it will not be good to hide it from the master, so you still sue him." ”

Rong Zheng said: "Sue sù naturally wants to sue sù." It's just that we have to have an idea of what we do. Bai Shengchun's family came straight to me, naturally thinking that I could handle this matter. I think something similar happened before, but she didn't have much support when she went to ask his wife, so I had to pay more attention to it. You don't have to persuade me, I've thought about it carefully, it's worth it. ”

When Zi Su heard Rong Zheng say this, she knew that Miss had her own thoughts, and she stopped interjecting.

At the beginning of noon the next day, Shisu came back and gave Rong Zheng three silver tickets. Rong Zheng glanced at it a few times, and each one was a hundred taels.

Rong Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "I know that these things are all good things and can be worth some money." ”

Shisu said: "If it weren't for the ruby on the hairpin that is big enough, the beads on the bracelet are southern pearls, and the wrench is emerald." The hairpin and bracelet are solid, and it would be good to be a hundred taels. ”

Rong Zheng sighed: "The things given by grandma are always the best, and I, as a granddaughter, are not angry, and I didn't keep what she gave." I hope to redeem them soon. She carefully put away the pawn ticket.

Rong Zheng gave a silver ticket of one hundred taels to Zisu and her, and said, "You find someone to help me exchange this silver ticket for a small amount." ”

Shiso promised to do it.

Rong Zheng said again: "Tomorrow we will go to Lutang again, you prepare." ”

Shisu promised to say yes, and then stepped back to find someone to exchange for the silver ticket.

Rong Zheng thought about it, turned around and went to Ma's yard. (To be continued.) )
