Chapter Twenty-Nine: Bumping into Someone Again
Chapter 29 bumped into someone again
In the next five days, Zhou Xiaofu continued to practice combat physical arts, the speed was okay, and she had already done all the four movements in the first stage, and she ate more and more at each meal in the past five days, but her body became thinner, her fat was consumed a lot, and her muscles were firm.
Mother Lan on the side has become more and more happy from the initial worry to the current gradual habituation, because she found that the fourth lady's eyebrows and eyes were open, and a pair of sword eyebrows looked heroic and thin compared to other women, which no one would be able to recognize if she returned to the Zhou Mansion.
Early in the morning, Zhou Xiaofu packed up, got into the carriage, and left with only Lan's mother and Wang Yousi, saying that he was going to Tongzhou to choose some fabrics, but in fact, he was going to Zhuangzi in Yiyang County, Tongzhou.
This Yiyang County is a county seat in Tongzhou, covering an area of 52,500 acres, according to the current algorithm there are 35 square kilometers, it is a very large county seat, if it develops normally, there will be no problem in upgrading to the state capital in a few years, and there is also room for appreciation to buy land here, because the land fertilizer points around the state capital are basically 1521 acres, and the capital is 221 acres of land.
It takes half an hour to get from Zhuangzi to Yiyang County, but the road is not very good, the road is bumpy, although Zhou Xiaofu rests on combat physical skills, but she still feels uncomfortable, and Lan's mother is even worse, because she is motion sickness.
Along the way, he was not in the mood to look out of the window, and sat quietly on the side from time to time to pay attention to Mother Lan's condition, and suddenly the carriage braked suddenly, this time Zhou Xiaofu seemed to expect it, and immediately supported her body and held Mother Lan who was about to fall.
What's the matter, is there someone who has a grievance and can't become a professional who has been hit by a carriage?
Helplessly, I heard Wang Yousi say loudly: "Miss, what's wrong, someone hit the carriage, and this is already lying on the ground unconscious." “
Zhou Xiaofu heard that it was really touching porcelain this time, but she didn't say anything, and got out of the carriage with a solemn expression with Lan's mother, and saw a middle-aged man in tattered clothes lying next to the carriage.
Zhou Xiaofu motioned for Wang Yousi to come forward and check.
Wang Yousi turned over the man's body and saw that there were injuries on his face, blood stains on his clothes, his face was pale, and the whole person was emaciated.
Zhou Xiaofu frowned, thinking that this person couldn't be chased and killed by someone, right?
Wang Yousi has already finished checking: "Miss Hui, this person is dizzy, I'm afraid that he is hungry and tired, plus he has old injuries and high fever." “
Zhou Xiaofu nodded silently and said, "Put it next to your seat and take it back to Zhuangzi, we are also responsible." “
Lan's mother looked at Zhou Xiaofu with great disapproval on the side. "Miss, will this person be of unknown origin and bring it back to cause us trouble?"
Zhou Xiaofu sighed and said: "When you go out, no one has any difficulty, if we don't save him today, I'm afraid he will die on this road."
Mother Lan stopped talking after hearing this, and nodded in agreement.
After packing up, he continued on the road, but because there was a man in front of the carriage, he did not dare to go too fast, but it took an hour and a half to reach his destination.
After the carriage stopped, I heard Wang Yousi say, "Miss, it's here." ”
Because he didn't want people to see his face clearly and cause any trouble, Zhou Xiaofu kept wearing a bib after getting off the carriage.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw a big courtyard with a red door, Wang Yousi called the door, and saw an old man in his fifties opening the door.
Wang Yousi first asked the old man in the porter to help the person in the front seat of the carriage to the porter to lie down.
Then he walked slowly with Zhou Xiaofu's left and said: "This porter was brought back by the slave in Jindu two days ago, it is a large family, this old man's surname is Zhang, there is a son Zhang Ru, daughter-in-law Zhang Fangshi, a grandson and a granddaughter, his son used to be a housekeeper in the official family, and the daughter-in-law used to be a housekeeper, because this official family committed a crime, so the whole family was sold, they wanted to find someone who could buy them all, the family didn't want to separate, and they have been staying in Renyazi for half a year, this time the slave went to see and inquired, The family was not bad, so they bought it all. ”
While listening to Zhou Xiaofu, she saw a couple coming up from a distance.
The male is in his thirties, and he looks shrewd, and the female is less than thirty, but she is twenty-eight or nineteen, with a little yellow skin, melon seed face, and a medium appearance. Both men were dressed in coarse cloth.
As soon as they saw Zhou Xiaofu, the two immediately knelt down and saluted, and read in their mouths: "The villain greets the eldest lady." ”
Zhou Xiaofu was stunned, it has been more than a month since she came to ancient times, and it is rare to see someone kowtow, so she immediately said to Mother Lan next to her: "Let them get up." ”
The two got up and welcomed Zhou Xiaofu to the main room in the courtyard, the courtyard of the main house of this Zhuangzi was much larger than that of Zhou Xiaofu's biological mother, at least four entrances.
When I entered the main room, I found that the windows were all glass, and the railings of the porch were carved in marble. This is a surprise, I think this Qian family is really capitalized.
When I entered the living room, I saw a piece of Huanghuali furniture, which had been wiped down, and I thought it was the credit of the couple.
After sitting, Zhou Xiaofu looked back and forth, and found that this living room was twice as big as the biological mother's Zhuangzi, the floor was all marble slabs, smooth and visible, and the cost of decorating such a room was not small, it was estimated that the glass windows would cost one hundred taels, and the grade of this set of huanghuali was average, and it cost two hundred taels down, and he really took advantage of it this time.
As soon as I finished reading it, I saw the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family come in with a tea bowl and put it down, and then stood aside and said: "Miss, this is the chrysanthemum in the Zhuangzi, which is the most heat-clearing and thirst-quenching thirst, and the slave maid added a little rock sugar to relieve the fever for Miss." “
Zhou Xiaofu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Mother Lan, don't stand still, you're so tired that you can't wait to sit and drink some water and rest enough." “
After Zhou Xiaofu and the three of them had drunk enough and felt a little more comfortable, Zhou Xiaofu spoke: "Steward Zhang, right?" “
The steward immediately stepped forward and bent down and said, "Miss is polite, the little Zhang Ru, line three, just call the little Zhang San." “
Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "Zhang San, you go and settle the people who got off the carriage just now, change your clothes, ask a doctor to come over and prescribe some medicine, and come over in the afternoon to explain other things." “
Zhang San was immediately ordered to retire with his daughter-in-law.
Only then did Zhou Xiaofu raise her head and ask Wang Yousi about the situation of buying people and Zhuangzi this time.
This Zhuangzi and Zhou Xiaofu's biological mother's Zhuangzi are generally arranged, they are all rented out for people to plant, there are 100 acres of bad wasteland, grass seeds are sprinkled to feed cattle and horses, and the other 400 acres are tenant out, the first land has been laid out in July, the wheat has just been harvested, and it will expire until mid-August.
Zhou Xiaofu nodded as she listened.
Wang Yousi continued to talk about the situation of the people who bought it.
The second time I bought a family and six mothers-in-law in Jindu, this family basically saw Zhou Xiaofu just now, the six mothers-in-law are basically the husbands of the Zhuang family, the husband's family does not sell themselves, they are not very old, and they are all thirty-four or five. Wang Yousi didn't buy the mother-in-law sold from a large family, such a mother-in-law is too slippery, afraid that it will be difficult to manage, and he is afraid of too much gossip when he comes back, so he only picks a farmer who can cook and chop firewood.
When it was almost the same, Zhou Xiaofu felt that she had also rested, and then she saw Zhang San and report that the man who was rescued this time had settled down, and the doctor also gave a pulse diagnosis, saying that it was a high fever caused by an old injury, and the high fever would subside after the wound became inflammatory, and Zhang San had already arranged for his daughter-in-law to prepare lunch.
Zhou Xiaofu nodded yes, and went back to the bedroom with Mother Lan to rest and prepare for a while.
