Chapter II: Child ...... husband

Sure enough, Zhu Gongquan saw Zhu Ying beckoning a guard next to the carriage and asking in a low voice, but he actually inquired about this place.

Hearing that this place was not too far from her "fiancé's" house, he found that Zhu Ying's eyes flickered, and he clearly remembered it in his heart, and then stared at the beautiful boy with interest several more times.

At this moment, Zhu Gongquan knew that his anger was in vain.

And Zhang Shou saw that the beautiful girl gestured and ordered the coachman to drive on, and then planned to put down the curtains, but suddenly as if he remembered something, he smiled at himself, stretched out his hand and waved goodbye, he couldn't help but smile, and beckoned to her.

met a very reasonable and glamorous woman, and his mood that was suddenly ruined by others unconsciously got better again.

He naturally didn't know that Zhu Ying, who put down the curtain and sat back in place, was dancing with her eyebrows.

It's worth it for this trip to the countryside! Just seeing Zhu Gongquan, who was in cahoots with her second brother, already made her raise her eyebrows, not to mention that she met a little Langjun who matched his appearance and conversation! Well, in the future, you might as well inquire about his background and knowledge, and when his father comes back, maybe he can recommend it to him, at least it is much better than a shameless person like Zhu Gongquan! By the way, she can also meet often......

A small chance encounter, Zhang Shou didn't take it to heart. After the group of uninvited guests had left, he put on his hat and heard the tenants say with smiles that they would continue to grow rice next year, and then he went back satisfied.

Through this kind of thing, I feel very excited to read a book, but Zhang Shou came over and found that once it was his turn, it was really terrible.

Luckily, he was not an ordinary farmer who had to work hard in the fields all day long. His house has a two-entry courtyard, with three servants cooking inside and outside, among which Ah Liu never speaks, Lao Liu Tou looks at a door that will never be a guest, and his daughter-in-law Aunt Liu often says that the neighboring fields are his family.

And this proximity ...... It is said to be up to thousands of acres! Although the land he owns does not seem to be commensurate with his current life, and even a little suspicious, it does not prevent Zhang Shou, a proponent of rice food, from tossing some of the land to plant rice.

First, rice-fish symbiosis was used to improve the soil environment, and in the past two years, it has been artificially selected. It's a pity that crayfish has not been introduced this year, and it is a fool's dream to want to raise shrimp in rice fields.

Occasionally, when he wants to eat high-protein food, he can only use high-protein food such as loach and yellow eel to satisfy his cravings.

The north is not suitable for raising silkworms, and the scale cannot compete with the silk weaving industry in the south of the Yangtze River. Tussah silkworm is a specialty of the north, the taste is not picky, the leaves of the oak camphor tree, cypress, maple poplar and so on are all eaten, the mother Wu originally raised some, under his instigation, and expanded the scale of breeding in the village.

In addition to rice, after diverting water to irrigate the fields, he also cultivated an additional part of the cotton fields and planted cotton. Nowadays, the production is not high. As for fruits and vegetables, there are all the varieties that should be available this year. As for grafting, there are no good varieties for the time being, and as far as his theoretical knowledge is concerned, he is still in the stage of asking old farmers to explore......

It is suitable for the rice field, because there are not enough oxen, and the village blacksmith has made some things such as hoes and claws according to his instructions, which are quite useful.

Anyway, in this era when food and clothing are fundamental, agriculture is the foundation, and agriculture is king, so let's take care of farming first......

Although the rural life is quite rich, Zhang Shou is not without troubles. It's been three years since he traveled, and he was only known as sixteen years old, but he only knew that his surname was Zhang Mingshou and his mother Wu, but he didn't know who his father was!

Most of these peasants in the countryside are tenants, and they don't know anything except the owner's surname Zhang. As for the servants in the family, he tried his best not to tell the truth anyway. Not to mention Mother Wu, her mouth is so tight that it seems to be locked!

He also tried to sneak out at first, but was always "gifted" back by the villagers halfway down the road.

There are a lot of books at home, but he has an extraordinary memory, and he can memorize them backwards as long as he reads them once, and he also understands history.

There are many Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming, and now it is Ming, but the emperor is not surnamed Zhu! When he first discovered that history had taken a big turn in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, his whole person collapsed. It's the twenty-sixth year of Daming Yongchen, what the hell is this!

Of course, he has to thank the old Zhu family for winning the world, there is no strict system that stipulates that your father and son must be successive, and must inherit the same kind of household registration, it is strictly forbidden for women to wrap their feet, and from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, big ships have passed through the four seas, and maritime trade has spread throughout Southeast Asia and Japan and North Korea.

In the past three years, he couldn't ponder history, he could only ponder his own life experience, and there were only two inferences he made.

Or, the outer room and illegitimate child of a large family whose mother and son are; Or, something happened to the family and sent their mother and son to the countryside to avoid trouble.

At this time, Zhang Shou walked leisurely along the ridges connected to Qianmo, and finally saw a mansion.

Compared with the crude houses in the village, this house located at the entrance of the village, with neat walls, blue bricks and black tiles, and two entrances inside and outside, can be regarded as the premier mansion in the vicinity.

It was already noon, the smoke was curling, and the sound of pots and pans colliding came from the kitchen in the front yard, Zhang Shou unconsciously found that he was a little hungry. But as soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw a few horses tied to a few wooden posts in front of the door, and there was a clear oil cart beside him. Although it seemed quite ordinary, it had only been long since they were separated, and he naturally recognized it at a glance.

Hey, isn't this the carriage you've encountered before? Could it be that the glamorous eldest lady is a guest of his house?

As soon as Zhang Shou had this idea, the old Liu Tou in the door hurriedly ran out.

"Ouch, the young master is finally back, and the little one is going to find someone! I'm here, I'm here in Kyoto, I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Seeing the carriage, Zhang Shou was already mentally prepared, and after taking off the hat, he walked into the door quickly, passed through the front yard, and arrived in front of the main hall.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw that his mother Wu was sitting on pins and needles on the main seat in the center, and the red-clothed girl and the middle-aged scribe he had seen before were sitting in the first and second places on the left side, and the others were standing behind.

When he was discovered, the middle-aged scribe who was called Mr. Zhu by the eldest lady was as if he had seen a ghost, while the girl in red had wide eyes and a face full of incredulity. Although he was a little curious, he still stepped forward to see his mother Wu first, and called his mother.

Wu hurriedly got up, pulled him and turned around to face everyone: "Miss, Mr. Zhu, this is my family's Ah Shou." ”

"It's you!" Seeing Zhang Shou smiling and greeting, Zhu Ying couldn't help but stare at that face and look at it twice, but after the surprise, she thought of the other party's identity, but she was in a delicate mood, and kept looking him up and down.

Although it is not the first time to be stared at by the burning gaze, how can those bleak women and green girls in the countryside be compared with such a glamorous daughter?

After smiling at her, Zhang Shou looked away and raised his eyebrows at Mr. Zhu, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "This uncle, I really don't meet in life." ”

Zhu Gongquan was so angry at this time that he was smoking. Take an example of a mud-legged boy who he thought he was illiterate, and was actually ironically ridiculed by the other party's poem, which is unlucky enough, but what is even more unlucky is that this mud-legged boy is actually the main owner who brought the eldest lady to find this time!

At this time, he knew that Zhang Shou's sentence that he didn't meet in his life was ironic, but he still had to hold back his anger, stood up and arched his hand: "Shou Gongzi, I was offended by my words before." ”

"Huh." Zhang Shoucai didn't say anything about the scene where the ignorant is not guilty, but lightly diverted the topic and said, "My mother and I have lived here for so many years, without relatives and no reason, except for the merchant who rarely sees him twice a year, I have never seen any other outsiders, let alone guests from the capital." Who are the two of you, and are you looking for us? ”

Zhu Gongquan's expression was cold, and his tone was even more cold: "If there is nothing to do, naturally I don't dare to disturb Shou Gongzi and Aunt Wu." ”

This is the news that he spent a lot of money to find out from the people around Mrs. Tai, the eldest lady hates the group of wives and concubines in some powerful families the most, and knows that this Zhang Shou is a concubine, and it may be a concubine born to another housewife, and his background is unknown, so he won't be so anymore, right? However, to his disappointment, Zhu Ying still couldn't take his eyes off it, as if he didn't notice the three words he deliberately emphasized.

When Zhang Shou heard the three words of Aunt Wu, he caught a glimpse of Wu's eyes struggling out of the corner of his eye, and finally lowered his eyelids and remained silent. There were countless scenes of infighting among wealthy families flashing in his heart, but he had to put aside these chaotic thoughts for a while.

He originally hated someone who had spoken out when he first met before, and he was naturally even more displeased at this time: "Your Excellency, please speak directly!" ”

"Also, I don't think Aunt Wu has ever told Shou Gongzi." When Zhu Gongquan saw that the Wu family was really timid, he laughed and said, "My lord is the Duke of Zhao Guogong of the dynasty, and I am just a staff member in the house, insignificant. As for my eldest lady...... Shou Gongzi has never heard of it, has he and the eldest lady of Zhao Guogongfu been married since childhood? ”

Although Zhang Shou knew that this year was about his parents' orders and matchmakers' words, but when he heard that the glamorous beauty in front of him turned out to be his fiancée, even though he had lived two lives, he was still shocked!

And Zhu Ying finally got out of the mood of greedy beauty. She naturally knew that Zhu Gongquan was deliberately provoking her dissatisfaction, however, knowing that her fiancé was a beautiful young man who had just decided to go out of the city to the countryside and take the opportunity to eat beautifully, her heart was a little biased unconsciously.

Especially when she found that Zhang Shou had a very surprised expression after hearing Zhu Gongquan mention the marriage contract, she couldn't help but have an idea and had a very bold idea.

After the initial stunned moment, Zhang Shou smiled dumbly and said: "There is a way, marriage should be the right person, she is a famous lady, I am a country boy, how could Zhao Guogong set such a marriage that is not a good match?" ”

Zhu Gongquan was waiting for this sentence. But he was afraid that Zhang Shou would retreat, so he uncovered another mystery without any scruples.

"Shou Gongzi probably doesn't know that the fields near here, the house where you and Aunt Wu live, and the food and clothing over the years are all from the master, and even the servants in this family are carefully selected by the master at the beginning. If it weren't for this marriage, how could the lord be so concerned about your mother and son? ”

Zhang Shou instinctively turned his head sideways to look at Wu on the side, and saw that the piece of silk handkerchief in her hand was about to be crumpled, and he only felt that he had been refreshed again.

He thought, how can his own life and his property not match, and dare to love the field is his future father-in-law's family!

Moreover, he was actually raised by his future father-in-law since he was a child. What is this, child husband...... No, isn't it a child-in-law?
