A few days later, the weather warmed up, and the early spring was gone.

Zhu Yan slowly walked along the small river by his "dilapidated house", wearing a goose-yellow crepe spring shirt, covered with a white gauze jacket, and delicately embroidered with a tall and gorgeous red plum.

Needless to say, this rather delicate dress is also one of the clothes that Xu Silk Zhen said "must not be moved".

Zhu Yan was quite distressed, she turned out a lot of clothes with excellent colors in the big carved box in the house, in terms of materials and workmanship, they can be called first-class, if they do, presumably the silver is not worried.

Besides, some clothes are too gaudy for her to dislike, and as a half-widowed person, it is not appropriate to dress fancy.

Inexplicably remembered that Aunt Yang, with a thick lead powder on her face and such a bright dress on her body, was she afraid that others would not be able to see how many copper coins she had?

But whether she can afford others or look down on her, Xu Suzhen saw that she was sensible now, and told her that her family was the biggest creditor in their family, and said that it was for the sake of her relatives' face, so she never came to urge her to repay the money.

Zhu Yan was angry when he thought of this, but then he remembered that Wang Ximing came back yesterday and said that he had rented out the field, and his heart was a little more comfortable.

There are a total of 400 acres of land, 200 acres were originally planted with saplings, so they were kept and not sold, and the horizontal and vertical trees do not need to be taken care of from time to time, Xu Suzhen can take care of it alone, and maybe he can grow some mushrooms under the woods, raise a few chickens or something, and develop three-dimensional agriculture -- but Zhu Yan did not dare to say this in a hurry.

The remaining 200 acres of land, because 100 acres belong to Wang Ximing's own family, and Zhu Yan's name is not in the same place, so he is scattered and rented to neighboring families.

The peasants are all owners who have no spare money, but they symbolically gave one or two pieces of silver as a deposit, which was naturally accepted by Wang Ximing, and the rest only needed to be divided in half with the grain and vegetables they received.

Zhu Yan always felt that he had suffered a little, but he couldn't grow it himself, and he couldn't do anything about it, so he had to eat it first, while comforting himself, it was a blessing to suffer a loss......

The spring water in the river thawed and rose very high, patting the freshly emerging cattails on both sides one by one, and closer to oneself, there was a wide magnolia tree, the dark green waxy leaves reflecting the warm sun.

Zhu Yan was a little sleepy by the warm spring breeze, and was about to rest against the trunk of the tree for a while, when the laughter of a group of children woke her up again.

Looking back at the dilapidated gate, a boy was poking his head outside.

Zhu Yan took a closer look, and it seemed to be the boy he met at the entrance of the village a few days ago.

"Sister Swallow is here!" The child's eyes were sharp, and when he caught a glimpse of the corner of Zhu Yan's clothes being blown by the wind from the aisle, he jumped into the courtyard with a big grin.

Zhu Yan couldn't, so he had to walk out of the side aisle and asked with a smile: "Little brother, are you coming to my mother?" ”

The boy shook his head like a rattle and smiled smugly, "Sister Swallow, someone thanked you for coming!" ”

"Thank you, ......?" Zhu Yan is alert, he hasn't done anything good recently, how can someone come to thank him?

Before she could come up with a reason, a group of children outside the door came in with a middle-aged woman who was a little richly dressed, followed by several servants carrying delicate boxes.

Zhu Yan looked at the woman in confusion, and then looked down at the boy, thinking that it was the Qingming incident that day, and the Zhou family came to talk about family affairs again, so he forced a smile, "Madam, Zhu Yan is really immoral and incompetent......"

"Miss Zhu, you are the benefactor of our family!" Before she could finish speaking, the woman grabbed her hand, and with the other he tore off the silk handkerchief that was in the bracelet, and wiped her tears from her eyes.

Zhu Yan was stunned, and looked at the crying person in front of him, and really didn't understand what he had done that was "angry with people and gods".

The boy was quite clever, and when he saw Zhu Yan's misty expression, he quietly pulled her sleeve, "Sister Yanzi, didn't you say anything about aderma a few days ago?" We sued others for governing the law, and it turned out to be really good! ”

Zhu Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, can this really be cured? Suddenly, I regretted that I didn't take a look at it in person, such a strange illness may be a once-in-a-millennium occurrence, it's a pity!

After thinking about it, he felt that he was thinking too unkindly, so he coughed embarrassedly and softened, "Madam, as the saying goes, 'the doctor is benevolent', and Zhu Yan is just a gesture." ”

"Girl...... You've saved our family! The woman still held on to her slender hands, as if grasping at some life-saving straw.

Zhu Yan only felt that his right eyelid jumped, and he didn't feel very good, if he simply came to thank him, how could he cry like this, it was difficult to do it...... What else is there to ask for yourself?

Tentatively asked, "Madam, what other ......difficulties do you have?" ”

Seeing that Zhu Yan was sensible, the woman wiped away her tears with two handfuls of three handfuls, and pulled out a smile as kind as possible, "What did Miss Zhu say?" You have cured my grandson of a strange disease, and the woman is not thankful for it, and has prepared a few small gifts, and please do not dislike it. ”

After saying this, the woman stood up straight, and with a slight wave of the handkerchief, the servants outside took the large and small boxes into the courtyard, and in an instant piled them on the ground.

Zhu Yan's eyes were a little flowery, and when he saw those children, they were all looking at the boxes, their eyes were straight, they were all peasant children, who had ever seen such a pomp.

At this time, Zhu Yan really wanted to give birth to a hundred mouths, saying that the treatment was not said by himself, and the old lady of the Zhou family was dragged into some marriage after a moment of brain fever...... If you continue like this, you may not even know how you died!

But Zhu Yan's embarrassed expression meant something else in the woman's eyes, her body trembled, and her voice trembled, "Miss Zhu, doesn't she think there are too few thank-you gifts?" ”

Zhu Yan hurriedly came back to his senses and shook his hand again and again, "How dare you, I just said it casually, it is also Ling Sun Fuda, in fact, it has nothing to do with Zhu Yan...... Madame, this gift is unnecessary. ”

"How can that be! The girl is reluctant to accept the gift, doesn't it seem very out-of-the-box? The woman trembled and laughed, lest Zhu Yan be annoyed, and gave the order to evict the guest.

I don't know you well!

Zhu Yan scolded secretly in his heart, but today Xu Suzhen wanted to go to the market to buy some vegetable seeds and scatter them in the back garden to make vegetables on weekdays, and he hadn't come back at this time.

sighed helplessly in his heart, and pulled a smile, "Madame, what do you have to say, do you want to go into the house with me?" ”

When the woman received this promise, she immediately smiled, and did not forget to turn around and instruct the servants, "Bring those things to Miss Zhu's porch, and the children who lead us will also be rewarded!" ”
