Chapter 36: Got into trouble
Wanzhen did not give up, asked the car boss to drive the car forward for a while, crossed a mountain pass, there was a flat land in front, a very large Zhuangzi, a can not see the edge, Wanzhen was surprised that there is such a plain in the mountains, and the area of Zhuangzi is larger, beyond her imagination, which really surprised her, looked down at the drawings, according to the drawings marked is this place.
"Master, I've finally found it." Qiao Shan said excitedly.
"Come up and ask." Wan Zhen instructed the man of the Qian Pozi.
Mrs. Qian's man sat next to the car owner, listened to the master's words from the car, immediately jumped out of the car, stepped forward and knocked on the door, for a long time, the door 'squeaked' and opened a crack, poking out an old family member who was a little surprised, "Who are you looking for." "There are very few people in this place
"Is it Zhuangzi from the Shen Mansion?" The janitor looked at him suspiciously, and looked behind him, why were there so many people here today, and Shen Wanzhen and the others also got out of the car and followed.
Mrs. Qian hurriedly walked forward, pointed at Wanzhen and said: "This is the daughter of the second master of the Shen Mansion, the granddaughter of the old lady Shen, the third girl, this Zhuangzi is the third girl's marriage." Pointing to the deed in her hand, Mrs. Qian deliberately mentioned the old lady Shen who had passed away a long time ago, thinking that such an old family member was probably not very familiar with the new master.
When the old family heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The old slave is dizzy, and I don't know that the master has arrived, and the master forgives his sins." “
"The old man is up quickly, the old man has worked hard." Juan Zhen ordered the Qian Pozi man to help him up.
The old family hurriedly opened the door, let Wanzhen and others come in, lead the way in front, Wanzhen patrolled the whole Zhuangzi, looked at the grandeur of the Zhuangzi outside, and the inside was not like that, the ground was full of barren grass, a desolate, a few rows of bungalows, and there were janitors, "When the old lady was alive, she bought this piece of land and planned to build a horse farm, and later moved her family to Shandong, and it was idle." ”
"It's a pity that such a large place is deserted." Wanzhen looks at this place, although it is partial, it has a little benefit, the winter is cold, and the mountains here block the nest wind, and it is a lot warmer.
"What can you do if you don't waste it? This land is all stone bottom, planting crops is not long, the road is inconvenient, things can not be transported in and out, especially in summer, the road is not easy to walk, it is rainy and cloudy, half a month can not go out, if the snow covers the mountain in winter, the snow falls more than a foot thick, and it is difficult for chariots and horses to walk. ”
Shen Wanzhen understood, why did the Wu family give her such a big Zhuangzi, if there are people living in this remote place, the daily supply will become a problem, this Zhuangzi is equivalent to abandonment, it seems useless.
Xiuju, Qiaoshan and the Qian family are a little wilted, okay, the dowry is said to be good, but it is actually equal to nothing.
Wanzhen remembered what her hometown said, it is appropriate to build a horse farm here, but the problem of the road cannot be solved, it seems that it can only be put first, and the two shops and a Zhuangzi in the dowry do not seem to be helpful, and the mother-in-law is generous, and in private, she must have been tired of her illness for a long time.
"Let's go back." Wanzhen didn't want to stay in this desolate place for long.
Before leaving, I appreciated some silver taels from Zhuangzi's old family, this old family is loyal, and it is really rare to be able to stay in this place for more than ten years.
Wanzhen waited to get in the car and leave.
"Madam, you see that this day is a little cloudy, it is estimated that there will be a snow tonight or tomorrow, and there is only one road in and out of this deep mountain, and it will be difficult to walk when the snow is blocked by the car." The car boss said.
Wanzhen thought to herself, fortunately, there was little snowfall this year, and there was no snow for more than ten days, and the dust on the ground couldn't be suppressed.
There was some distance from the main road, and this section of the road was full of potholes, and the cars and horses were bumpy, and the little faces of the few Wanzhen were white.
If a person is unlucky, nothing will go well, and the carriage in which Wanzhen is waiting can easily walk through this dirt road, and see that there is a big road ahead.
At this time, more than a dozen fast horses galloped from the road ahead, and turned to the path where they were, the yellow earth, which had not snowed for more than ten days, and the dust was flying.
Wanzhen lifted the corner of the cotton curtain of the car window, looked out, and was surprised to see that it was the group of gentlemen again, as if there was no one around, beating the horse and grazing the car body, and the leader was still the young man with bright eyes and golden cranes.
"Madam, the car is stuck in a pit, I'm afraid I'm in trouble." The car boss said.
Wanzhen thinks that she is unlucky, as long as she meets this group of people, it will be no good thing, and she will go out to see the yellow calendar in the future, and the ball was not kicked, so he hid, and I regret it.
The owner of the car was in a hurry, and he didn't notice that there was a deep pit on the side of the road, and the right wheel of the car was sinking into the pit.
On the outskirts of the capital, at the southern foot of the West Mountain, more than a dozen gentlemen of the capital stood on the plain sandwiched between the three mountains under the leadership of the King of Anyang.
"Your Royal Highness, just here, you see, here is the nest wind, warm in winter and cool in summer, the place is spacious, there are several large stadiums, the capital is densely populated, and the palace does not have this spacious land, but the road is not good, the scenery is good, build a Zhuangzi, play unattended, more comfortable, save yourself from being tied up in the capital." It was Lin Shangshu's second son, Lin Mingxuan, who spoke.
"Finding here, I'm really convinced of you kid." His Royal Highness became the king, sixteen or seventeen years old, and he looked a little similar to the king of Anyang, but his peach blossom eyes were cynical.
"It's good here, Kaichun Mountain is green, the scenery must be very beautiful, the road is not easy to walk, don't tighten, pay money to repair the road." The son of Li Yushi nodded in praise.
"That piece of Zhuangzi belongs to that family?" The clear voice of the third highness of the king of Anyang was accompanied by a cold breath in winter.
Everyone also saw that there was a farm built on this empty flat land, which occupied a lot of land, and it would be better if the farm was occupied.
A servant beside King Anyang hurriedly ran over and knocked on the door to inquire, and saw that he had said something to an old man who had opened the door and ran back.
"Third Highness, the gatekeeper said, the master of this Zhuangzi will leave." The servant bowed and replied.
"Wu Zhong, you take a few people to chase after you, if you catch up, be sure to invite them back, just say that there is something to discuss, don't say anything else."
"Yes, Your Highness." A capable young man led a few men and rode fast horses all the way to the road.
"Please get out of the car, Madame, this car is not shallow." The car boss tried a few times, but the car didn't move in place, so he had to let Wanzhen get down first, the car was lighter, and he tried to hit the horse a few times, but the car wheel moved in the pit, and he still couldn't get up.
"Mrs. Fulao pushes and pushes behind, otherwise you won't be able to go, and I'm afraid that there will be no cars and horses passing by in this place when it's dark." The car owner said helplessly.
Qiao Shan raised her eyebrows and just wanted to say, you didn't see who my wife was, and you dared to command at will, but she was stopped by Wanzhen's eyes, and Wanzhen took the lead in pushing the cart, and several people looked at the master's cart and hurriedly started together.
The coachman shouted the trumpet, and with all his strength, it was easy to get the car out of the pit, and when they looked at each other, they were all disgraced.
Xiuju and Qiaoshan were busy cleaning up the dust on Wanzhen's body.
Shen Wanzhen glanced up at the sky, the sun was in the middle of the day, it was noon, and told the car boss to hurry up.
The carriage went up the road ahead, and began to run, and soon entered the West City Gate.
Not long after their carriage entered the city, the guard Wu Zhong chased a few people to the city, but he didn't see anyone, so he had to ride his horse back.
The king of Anyang waited there, idle and bored, playing horses and slipping around, although it was winter, but the mountain was steep, covered with snow, there was a different scenery, and he looked at this place more and more.
"I don't know if the owner of this village is willing to sell it." Wu Shilang's second son, Wu Jingfang, said.
"Your Highness wants it, the one who doesn't know the times dares to refuse, it sounds good to buy, it's polite to give her money, and if you don't give money, you have to send it to the door obediently." One of the sons of Dali Siqing is arrogant.
"If you don't sell it, you will take it by force, and she can't do anything about it." Lin Mingxuan's expression was usually domineering.
"Otherwise, please assign the territory to the third brother, what the third brother wants, when did the emperor say nothing, the queen mother can't wait to give the best to the third brother." It was the youngest of the Ninth Highnesses, King Qi, who spoke.
"Don't mess with right and wrong, I fancy this place to avoid people's words, don't mess with those officials, and I admonished us to be domineering and forcibly occupy people's houses." Zhao Shijiao, the king of Anyang, did not agree with the public opinion.
At this time, Wu Zhong led people to turn back, "Back to the prince, the little one chased all the way, but I didn't see anyone." ”
"Someone, go and ask who the owner of this place is?" Zhao Shijiao pointed to the house.
"Yes." A servant trotted over and called for the door to open.
After muttering for a long time, he ran back, "Lord Wang, the Zhuangzi's surname is Shen, and the old man who guards the door can't say clearly, he only says that the main family is from Shandong." ”
"How can Shandong people have Zhuangzi in the capital, they are inquiring, if it is really Shandong's sending someone to Shandong, be sure to get the title deed back to me, and go to it quickly." The face of Zhao Shijiao, the king of Anyang, was unbeatable.
"Yes, the little one will do it right away." Chen Fu, the palace housekeeper, is in his early thirties, and he is capable and neat at first glance.
