Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Countryside Reacts

The lawyer is also thinking about this matter, and gift-giving is a university question, and it is not allowed to be sloppy at all.

It's not okay to give too much of this gift, and it's not okay to give less.

On the way home, I thought about it all the time.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I didn't expect him to have such a day.

For the sake of a clay leg he once looked down on, he meditated here about how much silver he wanted to give.

The lawyer couldn't hold an idea, so he asked instead: "How much does Mr. Li think is appropriate?" ”

When the bookkeeper heard that the lawyer actually took the initiative to ask him about this matter, he was even more emotional.

If this had been placed in the past, the lawyer would have taken the initiative to ask him about the things, that is, the things that could not be grasped.

Basically, it is related to the officials in the county government, and no matter how bad it is, it is related to the rich households in Yu'er Town.

But there are also a lot of wealthy people in Lezhen, and there is no chance for the lawyer to talk to this point.

After today, there will be another king grain chief.

Since the lawyer inquired about the matter, the bookkeeper had to give a proper answer, for the twenty taels of silver a year were not taken for nothing.

I just picked up the teacup in my hand and began to think about it, thinking about the time when I had a cup of tea: "This gift is to celebrate the promotion of the other party." ”

"It shouldn't be too much, after all, there will be more places for people to come and go in the future, and the eldest grandson will have to give a dry gift for his wedding, and he will also give a dry gift for moving to the ancestral grave."

"According to the old man's opinion, one or two pieces of silver are enough."

When the lawyer heard a tael of silver, he couldn't help but feel a little pain.

Just a month ago, a squad leader in the county gave only two cents of silver for marrying a wife.

Just to celebrate the joy of a promotion, he gave a whole tael of silver.

However, I thought that Wang Liangchang was not an ordinary rich man, but a rich man who used the means of a weapon to bring down the green hand shopkeeper.

I will be able to sit on an equal footing with him in the future, and this is the first time I have given a dry gift.

A tael of silver would be enough, and the lawyer nodded and said, "Okay, according to what the gentleman sees." ”

The bookkeeper nodded, turned around and left the hall, and went to prepare a salute for the chief of the grain in person.

And let the housekeeper of the house personally send it over.

Although Wang Liangchang's status was high enough, it was not enough for him to send it over in person.

After all, the bookkeeper is a showman.

The Wo family and the lawyer were not close to the three Yanding villages, and the two housekeepers were all in horse-drawn carriages to Wang Liangchang's house.

In the countryside, it is a rarity for anyone to have a flatbed.

Not to mention this kind of horse-drawn carriage, which attracted many people to run over to watch along the way.

The house of the Wo family is also in the north of Yu'er Town, which has a total of five villages.

Old Man Wang controls the three Yanding villages, and the remaining two villages are controlled by the Wo family.

It's just that the two villages controlled by the Wo family are much larger than the Yanding village, which has only a few hundred households.

In one village in the hands of the Wo family, the number of Dingkou exceeds the combination of three villages.

Most of the people in the north of Yu'er Town also know this carriage that belongs to the Wo family.

A patriarch of the ancestral hall who had a lot of status in the countryside asked strangely, "How does the carriage of the Yuanwai family go east?" ”

You must know that the clerk tightens his carriage treasure, and usually locks it in the warehouse, for fear that the cotton cloth on the carriage will be blown and faded by the wind and sun.

Another patriarch of the ancestral hall with a high status also felt very strange: "No, as long as this carriage is used." ”

"Either to participate in the happy events of the officials and lords, or to participate in the funerals of the officials and lords."

"In our village to the north, I haven't heard of anyone with such a big face who can let the old man touch this carriage."

Speaking of which, the few people who were standing at the entrance of the village and looking at the carriage were all patriarchs, and suddenly remembered a person.

That is the green hand shopkeeper of the small wharf at the mouth of the glue in the east, and there is only such a rich family in the north of Yu'er Town, so that the Wo family can barely give such a big face.

But when you think about it, it's not right.

The man sitting in the carriage was no ordinary steward.

It is the big housekeeper in the entire house of the Wo family, and his status is second only to the Wo family.

dispatched such a cotton carriage, or let the steward go over in person.

This face is bigger, and he is about to catch up with the management masters in Yangmeili.

Originally, the nest family was much higher than the easy position.

Even if the cotton carriage was dispatched, he was unwilling to let the butler come forward in person.

Just when several village chiefs stood at the entrance of the village and couldn't figure it out, a farmer who looked relatively strong hurriedly ran over from the east side of the dirt road.

When passing by the cotton carriage, he was so frightened that he quickly hid to the side.

After the carriage of the Wo family left, the farmer wiped the sweat from his head, and then continued to run down the village.

When I came to the entrance of the village, I happened to see several patriarchs of the ancestral hall who were not low.

You must know that the Dingkou in the family of these ancestral patriarchs is not like that in Yanding Village, there are only two or three hundred people in small households.

The Ding Kou in the family of these ancestral patriarchs, to say the least, there are five or six hundred people, all of whom are patriarchs of the great ancestral halls.

Usually there are red and white happy events, even if the patriarch of the largest ancestral hall in the village of three people comes to invite him, these patriarchs of the big ancestral hall only send their eldest son over.

Wanting them to go over in person is not enough to save face.

Seeing that several great grandmasters and patriarchs happened to be standing at the entrance of the village, the farmer took a breath and hurriedly said, "A few uncles are just here, so they don't need to go door to door to inform them. ”

"Let's hurry up and prepare some silver, and hurry up and send it to the chief of the king."

Send it to the chief of the king's grain?

Several patriarchs didn't react for a while, which one of the king's grain chiefs?

Why did you give him money?

The farmer saw that several great grandmasters and patriarchs were a little confused, and knew that he was too anxious, so he didn't speak clearly.

The farmer hurriedly gasped for breath, swallowed his saliva and continued: "It's not other Wang Liang Chang, it's the Wang Liang Chang of the three Yanding villages. ”

When a patriarch of a large ancestral hall heard this, he said with some dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with being a grain chief?" ”

"If there is a happy event in his family, please don't move a few of us."

The other great clan patriarchs also meant the same thing, and kept nodding their heads in agreement with the words of the great grandmaster patriarch.

When the farmer heard his uncle say this, he was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "He won." ”

"He won that fight, and the carriage that passed just now should belong to the old man."

"The old man must have gone to give silver to the chief of the grain, congratulations on him becoming the chief of grain."

When several patriarchs of the Great Ancestral Hall heard the sentence that they had won the fight, their faces all changed, and they were all stunned in disbelief.
