Chapter Ninety-Five: The Zhang Family's Reaction and Buying

Zhang Weize specially called the eldest brother to the study, and there were only two people, and said that Dr. Zhang recognized a goddaughter outside. "Big brother, this goddaughter that my father recognized is too hasty, what if that country girl really finds a family? Whether to take her in or not, and she also knows the address of our house, and a few days ago someone sent something over, if her father soft-hearted and brought her to the capital, then our family will become a laughing stock. ”

Zhang Yuze listened to his brother's words, and was silent for a while, to be honest, he somewhat agreed with Zhang Weize's words, several juniors in the family are not very popular with their fathers, of course, he also knows that part of the reason is because they are not angry, but he loves his youngest daughter very much, every time he comes back from outside, there is a little daughter who has something delicious and fun, and now he actually recognizes an unknown country girl as a granddaughter, isn't it more valued than his own daughter, this must be a fact that everyone in the family does not want to see, So he didn't agree with Dr. Zhang's approach. "You asked Steward Zhang about this, what did he say?"

"What can he say? only said that when his father was recuperating in Linjia Village, he closed his eyes before he recognized it. And I listened to Steward Zhang's meaning, this Lin Zhu is nothing special, I don't know what kind of bewitchment her father made to recognize her, I think I broke off the relationship with her as soon as possible, and we can rest assured as soon as possible. Zhang Weize especially hates Lin Zhu, and he can't say why.

"We also have to ask my father what he said about this matter, although our family is not a big family, but there must be rules for this, and it is okay to recognize relatives, just follow the rules. Those who don't conform to the rules can't be counted if they admit it. It's just a name. "I have to say that Zhang Yuze's words are still reasonable, after all, Lin Zhu does not have a formal ceremony to worship Dr. Zhang as his godfather. So it won't be recognized.

"What the eldest brother said makes sense, so let's ask my father and see how he decides?" Zhang Weize stood up and wanted to go out. was stopped by Zhang Yuze, "If you go now, it will only make my father more angry, I guess my father is also staying in Linjia Village and there are no close juniors around him on weekdays, so he will let this Lin Zhu take advantage of the situation, these days, let a few small people in the family go to his old man's house to say hello, and talk to him more." It won't take long for her to think of that country girl again, and when the time comes, she will have to obediently give up climbing this godfather, a country girl who has never seen the world can't afford to be treated so cautiously by us. "It's still the eldest brother who is thoughtful, so he will do what the eldest brother says. Let's hold our ground for now. Zhang Weize's mood is much better, now it seems that this forest bamboo is not a problem at all, a country girl, if she finds someone to scare her, she will definitely not dare to say a word. I also want to come over to kiss, beautiful her.

Steward Zhang returned to Dr. Zhang's courtyard and reported to him the content of the conversation at Second Master Zhang's place, but he thought of Zhang Weize's words to warn him. He was a little hesitant whether to tell Dr. Zhang? Seeing the hesitation in his expression, Dr. Zhang asked, "Why did he say something unpleasant?" ”

"Nope. The second master is just a little strange why you want to recognize Miss Zhu as your godgranddaughter. Steward Zhang replied carefully. I don't think so, my own son I don't know. Does he want to find the bamboo girl? Steward Zhang was silent, saying yes or no, no, no. I had to keep quiet.

"He's going to do it." Doctor Zhang snorted, "Okay, I know the way, you go down first, if he comes to ask you, you say that you haven't mentioned it to me." ”

"Yes." Steward Zhang turned around and closed the door.

"Ugh." After Steward Zhang left, Dr. Zhang sighed, lamenting in his heart that his son was uneasy and had too many thoughts. Seeing that this person who can't concentrate is difficult to succeed in something, so in his opinion, the second son's career is not so easy to walk, and he will definitely not go far, and now he doesn't expect him to be able to glorify his ancestors, as long as he can be safe and stable.

So Lin Zhu didn't cause any turmoil in the Zhang family, but a few juniors did their filial piety in front of Dr. Zhang because of their father's requirements, which can be regarded as making Dr. Zhang happy.

Chang Shi took the 3,000 taels of silver tickets given by Lin Zhu to buy a house and a field, thinking of buying a bigger house in the county, but he heard Chang's mother say that Lin Zhu wanted to buy a place with mountains and rivers, and in his estimation, he wanted to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to build a house. Therefore, the house in the county was bought a little smaller, with three in and three out yards, and ten or so rooms were enough. In fact, such a house is already very big in the eyes of the countrymen, but Lin Zhu didn't say anything when he heard it, there are more and more fields, and there will definitely be more people invited, where she lives now, she can only live with Chang's mother and Fu Dou'er, and when Fu Dou'er is older, she can live alone, and the room will not be enough. There are more than a dozen rooms, and if you plan one, you can't live many people. Because Chang's mother has already instilled in her to buy a few maids to serve her and Fu Dou'er.

Not to mention the houses in the county, Lin Zhu was very satisfied with the mountain and field that Chang Shi bought. Let's not talk about the mountain, there is that piece of land, a total of fifty acres, and the terrain is also very good, very suitable for building a courtyard. In Lin Zhu's idea, a house is divided into multiple areas on the periphery, with Chinese-style pavilions and pavilions, as well as Western-style lawn gardens. There are small bridges and flowing waters, and there should also be leisure places to enjoy warm afternoon tea. It wasn't something that could be done overnight, and she only had a preliminary idea right now. To accomplish this dream, she needs many, many people, and a lot and a lot of money. I can only say that I worked hard.

So after Chang Shi bought this piece of land, his work really began when the main family finished harvesting the crops. The three thousand taels of silver hadn't even been spent, so Lin Zhu asked him to take it, first, for repairing the houses in the county, and secondly, the field also needed to be sorted out. Because according to Lin Zhu's assumption, there are some places where the format of the field has to be changed, from the previous square field to a large flat land. This requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Because Lin Zhu doesn't have enough money to realize her dream, she wants to plant some plants on this land that can fatten this place, so that her garden and lawn can have a good foundation. Milk vetch is one of the best choices, it is simple to grow, and it can grow very luxuriantly. The small purple flowers are not pretty, but they have a unique charm. It was first cultivated as green manure for rice fields, but it can also be fed to pigs, so that other farms can also get fertilizer, and pigs can be fed to increase income, in short, the land should not be wasted before the construction of the garden has begun.

Lin Zhu first bought the first two Zhuangzi, adding up to more than 100 acres, so it takes a lot of people to work, Lin Zhu originally wanted to hire people from the local area to do it, but Chang's mother and others disagreed, whether it was her planting method, or a variety of seeds, they all need to be kept secret, which will cause heavy losses once leaked out, especially the special watermelon to be planted next year. So Chang's mother asked Lin Zhu to buy some people back, and with their deed of sale in her hand, she was not afraid that they would leak her secrets.

As a pseudo-ancient person with the soul of a modern person, Lin Zhu really can't stand buying people as goods. But in this era when there is no intellectual property protection, this is also a good way to protect yourself. So accompanied by Chang Shi and Chang's mother, she saw the ancient slave market for the first time.

Lin Zhu was deeply shocked there, all kinds of ragged people, as well as thin and withered children, and some girls who were picked up and picked up, the helplessness and confusion in their eyes made Lin Zhu can't bear to look at it directly, she has to be glad that she still has a world to live in. She handed over the right to buy these people to Chang Shi, and left the place with Chang's mother as if she were fleeing.

"The girl can't stand it, and it's understandable. If you only choose some maids, you won't use this place, just let those women bring people here, but you have to choose some labor, and you deserve to come here. Chang's mother explained to her.

"Are those people selling their sons and daughters if they can't get by?" What Lin Zhu couldn't stand the most was those children. "If there is a famine, there will be people who will do this, just so that adults and children can survive." Chang's mother paused, "It may be better to meet a good master than to be in your own home." ”

"But after all, they lost their freedom, and those girls were even more pitiful." As soon as he remembered the appearance of seeing some coquettishly dressed women there just now, Lin Zhu's heart was sad for a while, people at this time were really cheap, once a girl was selected by those people, her life would be over. "There's no way around it, people are dying of hunger, and they don't think about anything else. Fortunately, I ran into you, girl, and it was Tianlei who saved me. The girl is a kind-hearted person, and the good fortune of those people is bought back by the girl, and they must not be wrongly treated, which is also their blessing. ”

After Chang's mother's persuasion, Lin Zhu's mood finally improved, but she still couldn't look at that kind of scene directly, so she just said that after Chang Shi picked it out, she could just buy it directly, and then go home and meet them again.

Chang Shi bought more than 30 people, some of them as a family, men and women, big and small, twenty adult laborers, seven or eight adult women, and some half-present boys and girls. However, there is a special family, the woman is sick and has a five-year-old son, the man seems to be a little learned, Chang Shi didn't want to buy them at that time, but when he thought about Lin Zhu, there should be an account room, and although the woman was sick, it was not a serious illness, but the traffickers didn't want to spend money on her, so they kept dragging it out. So Chang Shi also bought them.

After Lin Zhu knew it, he also agreed, especially after seeing the child, he was even more soft-hearted, not only agreed to treat the woman, but also let them live in the county house first. I also gave some of Fu Dou'er's toys to the child.

The reason for the power outage can only be so many yards first, and it will be made up tomorrow.
