Chapter 225: Who Pays for the Kindness of the Three Springs [1]
After Liu Zixin's introduction, Zhu Yan figured out that this Xiaofeng and the other young people were all unemployed people recruited by Xu Suzhen, to put it mildly, just like Liu Zixin's original, they were gangsters in the Jiangnan area, stealing chickens and dogs, gathering crowds to fight, and they did not do anything less.
Xu Suzhen offered generous conditions to recruit them, and he respected them very much and was very close, which soon made these hot-blooded young people die.
Xu Silk Zhen then assigned tasks according to the characteristics of each person, as Liu Zixin's subordinates, together to manage the affairs of the grange, I have to say, this cadre is very good at dealing with the world, when it should be relaxed, when it should be intimidated, it will be intimidated, and it will be a huge grange, and hundreds of personnel will be managed in an orderly manner.
And that Xiao Feng is one of the more special among these people, he has the best fists and feet among these people, so Xu Suzhen entrusted him to recruit some young people to teach fist and foot kung fu, and then went to Beijing with Zhu Yan to protect her.
Zhu Yan didn't know what to say, Xu Suzhen changed her mind, she no longer stopped herself from going to Beijing, but arranged all the retreats, once things changed, she could return here at any time.
Such a well-arranged grange is enough for self-production and self-sale, enough for her and Xu Suzhen, as well as Zhu Qi, Bai Ping, and Liu Zixin, to live comfortably for a lifetime and avoid external disturbances.
“…… That's good too. Zhu Yan closed his eyes, "It's just that these trees can block the view from the outside, but they can't stop anyone, Brother Liu took the time to build a high wall around it......
If you really want to escape from the world, it is better to build an impregnable fortress. Isolate the outside of the qiē...... Zhu Yan shook her head, maybe she was thinking too far.
"Girl!" The crisp voice was pulled far away, floating up from the building.
Bai Apple trotted all the way with her skirt. All the way to the pavilion beckoned to a few people, "Girl, you are back!" ”
"Bai Apple, Ah Qi just pulled me to complain, saying that you detain her in the house every day to learn this and that, and she is about to give birth to moss." Zhu Yan still likes to chat with Bai Apple, and Bai Apple doesn't see her outside. She is never restrained, but she is very sensible, unlike the girl of Xingye. There is no cover for anything.
Moreover, the white apple was saved by her, and compared to others, she believed in the white apple the most.
"Girl, don't believe Miss Qi's nonsense. She was full of thoughts and only wanted to go out with Akiko's little monkey. If I hadn't caught her to learn embroidery, wouldn't I have missed Mingzi to work in the pharmacy? Bai Yu chattered non-stop, and looked at Zhu Yan in a hurry, "The girl seems to be thinner than before, why does she seem a little unenergetic?" ”
"On the way back, I contracted some minor illnesses, so I often get sleepy, and it's not a big deal." Zhu Yan smiled, this girl still cares about herself. At a glance, I could see that she was a little unwell.
Bai Apple flattened her mouth and stretched out two fingers. "The girl herself plus Yuan Gongzi, the two doctors can't be cured, isn't that a big deal?"
"It's really not a big deal, you're overthinking." But even so, Zhu Yan has indeed been short of energy recently, and he just watched it for a while because of a fresh energy, and now he was already tired, so he hugged Bai Apple's arm, leaned half of his body on her, and whispered to her, "Mother is in good spirits these days?" How is the body? ”
"Aunt Silk Zhen is good, as tough as before." Bai Yu knew everything, "It's just her...... It's like a different person. ”
Xu Suzhen originally had an image of a hard-working peasant woman, who was a good person, so in this area, the poor would call her "aunt", and most of the rich would also give some face.
But when she came back this time, she was still as diligent and capable, but she changed her previous sleek attitude, and she was resolute in everything, and it took only two months to transform the original farm yard into such a huge grange, which is proof.
Zhu Yan knows, this kind of behavior may be the real Xu Suzhen?
On the way back, Yuan Rin told her some old things, one of which was that although her father was very talented and became a high-ranking official at a young age, he was short in the family and had a mess of favors, thanks to his wife's arrangement, he lived so decently.
Because of this, when Dou Sui and others who know the past come to visit, they will always call Xu Suzhen "Mrs. Zhu" to pay respect.
But what Zhu Yan doesn't understand is that since Xu Suzhen is so capable and courageous, why did she choose to be a poor peasant woman and live that kind of life that looks at people's eyes?
"Girl, there is one thing I still have to discuss with you......" Bai Ping suddenly lowered her voice, looked up at Liu Zixin and them, and saw that they all retreated willingly, so she poured Zhu Yan a cup of tea and said carefully, "Aunt Silk Zhen said that Miss Qi and Mingzi are quite compatible, and she is also Miss Qi's mother, and she intends to set a family affair for them, but I don't know what the girl means?" ”
Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, "Ah Qi is only twelve or thirteen years old?" Dating so early?! ”
Bai Yu shrugged her shoulders disappreciably, and then shook Zhu Yan's hand bitterly, "It's not uncommon for you to get married at an age, do girls still think that everyone is like you, and they can marry at this age?" ”
She's nineteen! The good age for the girls to marry should be sixteen years old, I heard that the laws of the previous dynasty were strict, and those who did not marry after the age of marriage were not married, but the government should be the master of marrying women and women, and it didn't matter if they were worthy of it or not, it was not good to hear this thing even if it was spread.
"Also, even if there is no such law now, even the rumors in the countryside can't stand it." Bai Ping pursed her lips, people's gossip hearts are the same in the capital and in the countryside, but the way of expression is elegant and vulgar, "Fortunately, Aunt Silk Zhen arranged a family affair for the girl back then, although she didn't get married, but the girl didn't have to be considered an old girl who couldn't marry by the township." ”
Zhu Yan listened while quietly sipping the slightly astringent tea, what Bai Ping said she had never thought of, and she was sure that Zhu Yan had not thought about it either.
She flipped through the book of poems a few times, and in addition to some delicate words of sadness and sadness, most of them were lamenting that her life experience was drifting, and she was not angry that she was buried in the countryside as a noble girl, and naturally she also had the resentment of being promised to her cousin.
The girl who was always immersed in her grief never thought that Xu Suzhen would do that, and she had already given her the best result.
She didn't have to marry someone who wasn't worthy of herself, and she didn't have to be talked about because she was old enough not to marry, she could be free to bask in the kind of injury that she might think was beautiful until she died...... Maybe Xu Suzhen thinks that such an ending is more suitable for the original melancholy girl?
So, her mother probably already knew that she was not the original girl, after all, even Yuan Rin had guessed, how could a relative who gets along with each other in the morning and evening not know?
But she has been hiding it for herself, and even changed her original plan for her, and re-expressed her vigorous and resolute side, Xu Suzhen gave her too much, and she was afraid that she would not be able to repay it in the end. (To be continued......)
