Episode 063: Follow him all the way to the dark

Feng Ran didn't know how he got up, and hid back in the west main room in a daze for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Seeing that there was movement in Baxiazhou, Yun'er and Jin Sheng returned to serve their sons separately. Feng Ran was a little uncomfortable, and she hadn't stayed with Yun'er at the same time for too long. However, the mood was much lighter, no matter how the fruits and rice were ripe in the back, they finally had some money in their hands.

"In the future, all the rough work will be slowly let go, and Sister Yun will be tired for most of the past six months." Feng Ran pulled her hand, "Don't see me when no one is around, you are no different from my sister." ”

Yun'er's heart was shocked, and she said bitterly: "Good madam, don't say that. Let's just pass the special period, and now that we are slowly on the right track, the rules that the Hou Mansion should abide by are the rules. Otherwise, if you don't set up for the people below, how will you convince people in the future? ”

Feng Ran didn't expect Yun'er to change faster than herself. She nodded and took out a bunch of keys from her waist, "You're different. ”

"A small honor."

Yun'er knew where the key was locked. The master and servant walked back to the bedroom quietly, and placed a large cage against the wall, stacked up two layers on top of each other, and there were more than a dozen cages. Part of it was the dowry that the little cannon fodder brought from the Feng family, and part of it was the money that Guo Lin brought back yesterday.

She had been fooled by the Sui Emperor, saying that the herbs that had cured him were hidden in those boxes, and that the keys were hidden from anyone. In addition, Sui Yu also brought a lot of medicinal herbs when he came from the capital, and later with Old Man Li, they went to Daxing Mountain several times to dig wild vegetables and hunt. Feng Ran is a divine blow, and everyone in the mansion and Sui Yu are choked together.

To this day, everyone still doesn't believe that Feng Ran knows how to heal medical science, and it is also strange that she healed Sui Yu's legs in a daze. There was even a time when Sui Yu rowed his old broken wheelchair into the west main room to check, but Feng Ran rushed to catch him in time. She said that she would not give an explanation to Sui Yu, and Sui Yu had no choice but to give up.

Later, his feelings for her changed, and he no longer cared about these things, and the matter was over.

Now that she is facing several extra cages, she can't help but laugh, how can she have a relationship with these boxes, they are all mysteriously covered.

"Is Yun'er literate?" Feng Ran took out the detailed list that Jin Sheng gave her yesterday and asked.

Yun'er sneered and said, "The little ones can recognize a little, but the words that are too complicated are not accurate." ”

"It's okay, in fact, I ...... too" Feng Ran swallowed back the words stiffly. Although she knows how to read, she just has to think about it carefully when she sees these traditional characters.

The master and servant opened the black leather cages one by one, and the two smaller ones contained silver ingots, and the remaining cages contained some gold and silver jewelry and broken copper plates.

Feng Ran went through them one by one, and Yun'er took a pen and paper to record on the side. After a while, Feng Ran felt tired, so he changed to Yun'er to continue counting, and Feng Ran wrote it in the book next to him.

"You had an awkward fall with Brother Jin last night?" Feng Ran asked casually, "It's the turn of the box on the left." ”

Yun'er put the counted silver back and walked to the left to the next box, "Nothing." ”

"Don't you tell me the truth?"

Yun'er gritted her teeth, and Fang recounted last night's events to Feng Ran. Feng Ran couldn't cry or laugh, Yun'er and Jin Sheng were willing to love me, and they couldn't compare to the "not pure" between her and Sui Yu.

"I drank so much that I forgot my daughter-in-law." Feng Ran added another stroke to the book, "You don't have to be annoyed, just dry him for two days." ”

"The little ones don't bother." Yun'er was duplicitous, and suddenly forgot the number she had counted just now, so she quickly knocked her head and counted it again.

Feng Ran pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "But it's better that you and Brother Jin'er's wedding date should be set earlier." ”

"We have few fruit trees, just a dozen of them, and the fruits will be sold out in a few days." Yun'er walked back to Feng Ran's side and said with a clear eye, "A few days ago, Shui Sheng was still worried about Old Man Li in the backyard, afraid that Jin Sheng would not come back when he harvested rice. ”

"I didn't know there was anything else?"

Yun'er stuck out her tongue and tugged at Feng Ran's sleeve, "They are afraid that Mrs. will worry, so they won't let the little one tell Mrs. ”

"They don't want me to go down to the field to help harvest the rice, do they?" Feng Ran is unique to self-knowledge, "But I think I've learned well." ”

Yun'er echoed a few words, and then said: "Now that Guo will bring back manpower, harvesting rice can be much easier." But I still have to be busy for a while, and I have to start all over again. ”

"So what? Do you want to postpone your wedding with Kim Sang? Feng Ran glanced at her, "How much can you two delay when you two get married?" ”

"Good madam, you just listen to the little one. When the autumn harvest is busy and there is nothing to do in the winter, I will mention it. ”

Feng Ran Nunu's mouth and said, "Okay, I'll take the opportunity to save some more dowry for you." There are so many courtyards and houses in the house, tell Jin Sheng which one you like, and let him pick it up as soon as possible. ”

"Don't move the small ones, the west ear room is very good, and you can take care of some big things for your wife on weekdays."

"Do you plan to live in the West Ear Room after becoming a parent?"

"Keep the West Ear Room for you." Feng Ran pulled her to sit beside her, "Otherwise, you and Jin Sheng will live in Sanjin Courtyard, right?" Come closer to me. ”

Yun'er nodded shyly, "That's Madame." ”

The master and servant spent half a day counting all the cash silver, six hundred taels of silver ingots, more than one hundred taels of broken silver and copper plates, and about two hundred taels of gold and silver jewelry remaining. In addition to these, they sold fruit yesterday and earned more than four taels of silver.

"Madame is most reluctant to give up these four taels of silver?" Yun'er saw Feng Ran holding the money bag and weighing it for a long time, and said.

"How hard is it to earn these four taels of silver?" Feng Ran put the money bag back in the cage, "Let's keep it, as a souvenir." ”

She pointed to two of the cages, "These two don't need to be locked, I'll ask them to come over in a while, take them out and exchange them for loose silver, and come back to give you a monthly bill." ”

Half an hour later, Shui Sheng and Jin Sheng had already arrived in the west main room. Feng Ran and Jin Sheng went through the account books again, and Jin Sheng praised again and again: "Madame's speed is really fast, it only took a long time to sort it out." ”

"It's Yun'er's brain that spins fast." Feng Ran deliberately coughed twice, and then said with a straight face: "Let's get down to business first." Our family is now full of only nine hundred taels of silver. I want to treat you badly, but Old Man Li, they want a lot of rewards. ”

"It's up to Madame to decide."

"Brother Jin Shui Ge'er used to have a high monthly case, five taels of silver per month, but this time it will be counted as four taels of silver. Yun'er's involvement is also counted as four taels of silver. Give one of you six months, will it be done? ”

"Is this still a loss for us? Madame, you're a big deal! Jin Sheng raised his thumbs, "We didn't lose anything." He said as he looked at the water.

"Madam, we actually discussed it before we came. We don't want this month's case for the time being, so you can give each of us five taels of silver and carry it on our bodies. If it is really urgent, you can't say no to it if we open our mouths, right? ”

"What are you trying to do?" Feng Ran smiled bitterly and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Master Tuhou."

"Master Hou deserves you like this?"

"It's worth it!"

"I don't want the little one either." Yun'er followed and said, as if confessing her heart, "I'm waiting for Mrs. to give me more dowry, and I don't need it for the time being." ”

Yun'er was so embarrassed that she covered her face and ran out. Shui Sheng kicked Jin Sheng on the side and scolded, "Are you stupid? Don't hurry up and chase it yet! ”

"Let's go!" Feng Ran urged with a smile.

Jin Sheng chased out like crazy, Feng Ran and Shui Sheng looked at each other and smiled, "It's a pity that there is only one maid in my family." ”

"The little ones are not in a hurry." Shui Sheng bowed down and said, "How does Madam want to send money to Old Man Li and them?" ”

"Four taels of silver a month, a year's payment."

Shui Sheng was stunned for a moment and said, "This is a bit too much, isn't it?" ”

"When we were in the most difficult time, it was people who helped us. Otherwise, just a few of us, can the next ten acres of land be planted? ”

"Indeed, early this morning, Old Man Li took people to the back to pick fruits."

Feng Ran pointed to the inner bedroom, "In that case, let's move a cage." You go to the outside bank and exchange some loose money and come back. ”

Shui Sheng immediately complied and led Shengwang and the others out of the house to do things. Feng Ran leaned on the head of the door of the West Main House, and suddenly felt a little confused. She rubbed the corners of her forehead and raised her eyes suddenly, only to see Sui Yu standing at the opposite door looking at her.

patronizing the busy work here, I forgot about him, the marquis of the main family. All the decisions she had just made were out of her own thoughts, and she really didn't remember to ask Sui Yu what she meant.

Sui Yu slowly moved his steps in front of her, Feng Ran's eyes dodged left and right, and finally took two steps forward, holding up a small arm for him, "Exercise all morning, right?" Slow down, does your thigh still hurt? ”

Sui Yu stroked her forearm with one hand, "It's okay to be busy for a long time?" ”

"yes, I haven't discussed it with you yet, I just told them ...... aquatic life."

"It's up to you." Sui Yu's sweat trickled down the back of his ears, "No need to tell me. ”

She looked up at him and laughed, "What if I spend it all randomly?" ”

"If it's light, it's light, and it's not that it's not poor." He exercised for a little longer, his body trembled slightly, and he was a little unsteady on his feet, and leaned back against the wooden door.

Feng Ran was silent, and simply took him back to the Luohan couch on the side of the west main room to sit down.

She took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat for him, lowered her eyes and said, "I was too poor before, and neither Jinxian nor Dongye would grasp any tricks." Nowadays it is different, our every move may be watched. Have you figured out what to do? It's not easy to hide the edge. ”

"Farming is a good way out." Sui Yu propped himself up on the Luohan couch and said, "Marquis Jiansheng is a waste man who can't get up from the bed, and the Hou Mansion has to rely on Mrs. Feng to support him inside and out." ”

"Mrs. Feng?" Feng Ran smiled and pointed at himself slightly.

"I ask you." Sui Yu tried his best to get close to her, and said seriously: "Is this ten acres of land a bumper harvest this year?" ”

"Forget it, we won't starve to death next year anyway."

Feng Ran said in his heart, Lingquan water is a joke? If they have a good harvest, they will have a high yield. But she didn't dare to show it, she had to be subtle.

"Madame, do you plan to continue farming next year?"

"Of course you have to plant, this is an opportunity for the Hou Mansion to get rid of poverty and become rich. More than 100 acres of land, if all of them can be reclaimed, we won't be able to look down on the little reward. ”

"I'll find labor for my wife, and I'll do it next year."

Feng Ran understood Sui Yu's intentions in a trance, he wanted to use the way of farming to recruit some people who had achieved kung fu into the house. In this way, it can not only be self-sufficient, but also secretly develop the power of the Hou Mansion.

Sui Yu held her slender hand, gently hooked his lips and smiled: "In the future, I will have to rely on my wife to make money to support my family, so that I can strategize in this shell of Xiazhou." ”

Feng Ran felt as if he had no other way to choose, so he could only follow Sui Yu to the dark. If Sui Yu dies horizontally, she will probably not survive. Now it seems that there is no need to worry about being driven back to the capital, and it will not be discarded by a letter of resignation.

"Can you have a brain? I'm a little worried. She didn't know when she became the same as Sui Yu, and she was willing to choke each other to talk.

Sui Yuqiang endured the anger in his chest, and the affection he had accumulated just now was gone, and he roared: "Do you think I am as lacking in heart as you? ”
