Chapter Twenty-Four: Returning to the Village (Elegy for the Helmsman's Sword Fall)

The steamed mandarin fish in Dongyang County is really delicious, and Chen Zheng, who is sitting in the carriage, still recalls the taste.

"Uncle, second brother, there seems to be someone in the forest next to us again."

When Chen Zheng heard this, he became a little nervous, and his slingshot was sold to Li Shuang at a high price of five taels of silver, but he didn't have any self-defense weapons now.

Wei Dayong snorted coldly, stopped the carriage, then got out of the carriage and walked towards the edge of the forest.

Sure enough, there were many shadows in the forest, and Wei Dayong's eyes narrowed, and he recognized a few familiar figures.

"The cub of Qingya Village, get out of here for the second master!" Wei Dayong burst into a shout, and the few birds in the forest also flew up one after another.

Wei Dayong was very depressed in his heart, he originally thought that the steamed mandarin fish at noon also had his share, but as a result, the county commander secretly dragged his uncle away.

It's really stingy!

Now these bastards in Qingyazhai don't open their eyes, and they dare to follow them, just to vent their anger.

"It's Wei Dayong from Hongsong Village!" Someone recognized.

"How is he? It's a pity! There is another humane who seems to be a little afraid of Wei Dayong

"There are so many of us, what are you afraid of him doing? It's over directly, they just came from the city, and they must have money on them! The other pouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others looked at him.

The man felt that something was wrong and said, "What are you all looking at me for?" ”

"Why don't you go first?"

The man stopped talking, and sometimes it was not a shame to admit cowardice, especially when facing Wei Dayong.

"Withdraw."

Wei Dayong, who was standing at the edge of the forest, watched the figures in the forest and ran away one by one.

The breeze blew through Wei Dayong's rough face, which made him very depressed, feeling full of strength but nowhere to sprinkle.

After waiting for a while, it was finally confirmed that everyone had run out, and Wei Dayong returned to the carriage with a disappointed face.

"Is it from Qingya Village?" Chen Zheng asked.

Wei Dayong smelled the smell of steamed mandarin fish wafting from Chen Zheng's mouth, and didn't want to talk to him, just nodded, drove the carriage, and continued to move forward.

After a few days, Chen Zheng returned to Hongsong Village, and he felt a sense of intimacy, which was spontaneously born from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Zheng handed over the food he bought in Dongyang County to Wei Dayong and asked him to share it with the people in the village.

And he himself went home with a large bag and a beautiful lady waiting for him.

After entering the house, Chen Zheng found that the door was not closed, so he walked straight in.

Yue Xiaorong is really at home!

"Lady!" Chen Zheng shouted.

However, Yue Xiaorong didn't seem to hear it, and stared at the mirror in a daze.

Chen Zheng put the things he bought on the table, came to Yue Xiaorong's side, and shouted again: "Lady! ”

Yue Xiaorong was stunned, and when she saw that it was Chen Zheng, she was surprised, and quickly got up and responded: "Xianggong, you're back!" ”

"yes, just came back." Chen Zhengdao, "I have brought you a lot of good things." ”

As he spoke, Chen Zheng opened the baggage and took out all kinds of things from it.

"This is the pastry of Daoxiang Village, this is the embroidered shoes of Bu Liansheng, this is the silk of Rui Fuxiang, this is the ......"

A table was set full of gifts, and when he looked at Yue Xiaorong again, his face was already happy.

"Do you like it?" Chen Zheng asked.

Yue Xiaorong nodded and said, "Xianggong has a heart, I like it tightly." ”

"If you like it, it's fine." Chen Zheng said with a smile.

Yue Xiaorong looked at these gifts and suddenly asked, "Xianggong, these things cost a lot of money, right?" ”

"Yes, things in the city are expensive! It cost a few taels of silver. Chen Zheng replied.

Yue Xiaorong pondered for a while, and said: "Although I am the owner of the village, the money from selling red pine belongs to the entire village, and the minister can't buy a gift for me next time." ”

When Chen Zheng heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry, and quickly explained: "The lady misunderstood, I bought these things with the money I earned." ”

"Xianggong's own money?" Yue Xiaorong was puzzled, "How did Xianggong make money?" ”

"Have you forgotten my tables, chairs and benches?" Chen Zheng asked rhetorically.

"Are those things valuable?" Yue Xiaorong asked.

Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows, but: "Of course, your father-in-law is not an ordinary carpenter, and the tables, chairs and benches made are precious, and those who know how to do it naturally know." ”

Yue Xiaorong pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, I know that Xianggong is amazing, but I have worked hard for you." ”

Chen Zheng waved his hand and said: "Lady, don't sell the red pines on the mountain in the future, it's worthless to sell raw materials, you have to make furniture, make it into a work of art, and with added value, it's worth it!" ”

Yue Xiaorong didn't seem to understand, and finally nodded and said, "Then listen to Xianggong." ”

Chen Zheng was very happy, picked up a piece of Huaihua cake from Daoxiang Village, handed it to Yue Xiaorong, and said, "Lady, taste it, it's sweet." ”

Yue Xiaorong took it, took a bite, it was really sweet, and asked casually, "How much money did Xianggong make?" ”

Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly and took out all the remaining silver in his pocket.

"The tables, chairs and benches were sold for twelve taels, and two taels were given to the second brother to drink." Chen Zheng began to calculate, "My slingshot sold for five taels; I took an order, made a deposit of ten taels, and finally bought these things, which cost seven taels and fifty-two cents. ”

Yue Xiaorong looked at the pile of silver on the table, her eyes were a little straight.

Although he is the owner of Hongsongzhai, Yue Xiaorong has hardly asked about the business of Hongsongzhai, and basically handed it over to Wei Dayong to do.

also owes Wei Dayong his honest duty, and he is not greedy for the property of Mohong Songzhai.

Seeing so much silver was the first time for Yue Xiaorong.

"Xianggong, put it away." Yue Xiaorong said.

Chen Zheng waved his hand very seriously and said, "What am I doing when I put it away?" Lady, put it away. ”

"I'll put it away?" Yue Xiaorong was a little unconvinced.

Chen Zheng nodded and said: "In the future, we will earn more and more money, and this financial power, of course, will be handed over to you, the lady, who is responsible for managing money." ”

"This is your hard-earned earnings, how can you give it all to me?" Yue Xiaorong said.

"What's yours and mine? Do you and I still divide each other? Chen Zheng said a little unhappily, "Besides, the money earned by the Xianggong is of course for the lady to spend." ”

After Chen Zheng's fierce argument, Yue Xiaorong reluctantly put away the silver.

"Lady, rest early tonight. I slept in the inn bed for two days, but I was exhausted. Chen Zhengdao.

The two lay on the bed, holding hands, Yue Xiaorong said, "Xianggong, is it fun in the city?" ”

"It's fun, lady, have you ever been to the city?" Chen Zheng asked.

Yue Xiaorong nodded, shook her head again, and said, "When I was young, I remember going with my father, but after my father died, I never went down the mountain again. ”

Chen Zheng held Yue Xiaorong's hand and said, "Lady, if you want to go, let's go together next time." ”

The moon stars are scarce, the autumn dew is getting thicker, and there is nothing to say all night.
