Chapter 142: Fertile Land Becomes Wasteland

The Zhuangzi that the Song family gave to Song Xingyun to marry was naturally a good field, but it was really a little far from the capital, and the carriage that Shen Fu and a few people later changed into was not as good as the Shen family, so a few people tossed until the sunset in the west mountain, and then arrived at the Zhuangzi, not surprisingly, the steward on the Zhuangzi led his family to stand at the door, and waited for Shen Fu respectfully: "Cao Bo has seen the eldest lady, the eldest lady should rest and rest first?" ”

For this Cao Bo, Shen Fu has an impression, in his previous life, although Song Xingyun was not in good health, he still often handled affairs by himself, this Cao Bo handled Zhuangzi well, and often had some new things to respect, he was a capable person, so he naturally let Shen Fu pay attention, and in the face of Cao Bo's question, Shen Fu didn't say much, just nodded lightly, and got off the car with the support of Aunt Su and Nephrite, but when her eyes swept over Cao Bo's family, she couldn't help frowning: "Steward Cao, whether it's my mother, Or is it the Zhou family now, I don't think I will treat you badly, why are you so pitiful? Could it be that those tenants didn't pay you rent? ”

When he got out of the car and walked in front of Cao Bo, Shen Fu found that this quite shrewd and capable steward was covered with patches, and the whole family was also yellow and thin, and it didn't look like he had a good life, but the grange here is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most abundant field in all the dowries, even if Zhou Yun has the heart to rub it, it shouldn't be tossed like this, and Cao Bo's face with only a little skin and flesh sticking to the skinny bones reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Those tenants, villains are in charge, they have all been driven out, and as for the fertile land on Zhuangzi, it has also been abandoned a lot, and it is still in use now, That is, one acre and three points of land, and our family lives on that bit of land. ”

After he said this, he kept silent directly, Nephrite and Aunt Su were both stunned to look at the man in front of him, who could be said to be thin and thin, and the king of Northern Xinjiang was also shocked by the person in front of him, everyone was waiting for Shen Fu's decision, after all, this is Shen Fu's property, no matter who it is, they have no right to give orders to this incomprehensible steward before Shen Fu speaks, and Shen Fu didn't open his mouth for a long time, just pursed his lips and looked at Cao Bo, Cao Bo's wife looked a little scared, But he still stepped forward to stand with his husband, the surroundings were too quiet, as if even the wind had stopped, only the low insect chirping in the grass lingered around, Cao Bo's two excessively short children, pitifully and fearfully, clutched the hem of their parents' clothes, and looked timidly at the one in front of them, who seemed to them to be a beautiful sister descended from the gods.

"I know what you mean, Shen family Zangzhu, thank you Uncle Cao here." After a long time, Shen Fu smiled, and then saluted Cao Bo respectfully and sincerely, tears slid down her face, slammed on the ground and splashed dust, her eyes were hot, tears rippled, in that case, as long as Cao Boken bowed his head to Zhou Yun, there would definitely be glory and wealth, not to mention great wealth and wealth, but at least he could be a soil emperor in this Zhuangzi, but this thin man did not do this, since Zhou Yun wanted to waste this dowry, Cao Bo simply chose to keep their behavior as much as possible, even if it was the cost of such a moveIn the past ten years, he, the Zhuangzi steward who originally did not worry about food and clothing, has become unable to eat and wear, and his loyalty and sincerity to Song Xingyun are worthy of her Shen Fu's salute.

Shen Fu's behavior undoubtedly frightened Cao Bo a little, he himself is an honest and sincere person, although he does have some means in managing Zhuangzi, but in itself, this person is still very honest, and now he sees the girl who he regards as the master behaving like this, of course, he is startled, but he is also a scholar, so he is not too gaffe, but the smile on his face has become a lot more sincere, and even a little hurried: "The girl is serious, go in and rest and rest, in fact, other Zhuangzi stewards, There are also those who have the ability, and now they are still doing well, but I am really useless, which makes your Zhuangzi wasted. ”

Although Cao Bo is like this, but Shen Fu did not take it seriously, and that night, Shen Fu did not go back to Shen's house, but took nephrite jade and they lived comfortably on the Zhuangzi for one night, and when it came to the next day, Cao Bo's family was ready to be early, although it was rough, but it was also obvious that the intentions, Shen Fu was using breakfast, and asked: "Now this Zhuangzi is going to be revitalized, but there are no tenants, this matter must be solved, otherwise this Zhuangzi will be useless at that time, and it will not look good when it is placed, what can you do?" ”

Cao Bo's lady is quite intimate for Shen Fu's cloth dishes, yesterday Shen Fu didn't have time to see clearly, today I looked carefully, only to find that this woman has a calm between her eyebrows and eyes, looking at the more people feel calm, the more you look at it, the more you feel calm, the Lingtai is clear, looking at it is also a delicate mind, she is tepid, respectfully said: "Don't worry about this matter, the original tenants also lived not far from here, plus this is originally a good land, the rent we charge is actually not high, after all, it is a good place, they will not refuse, It's almost like opening up the wasteland now, and in any case, it's a tiring job, and the wages are ......."

When this lady of the Cao family proposed the salary, she was inevitably a little apprehensive, after all, the person in front of her was not the original Song Xingyun Song lady, and now their Cao family has just met with this little master, and it is really not suitable to reach out and ask for money just after meeting, but the lady of the Cao family knows in her heart, if there is no money, this Zhuangzi is really unable to toss, so she looked at Shen Fu anxiously, waiting for the decision of the little master in front of her.

Shen Fu didn't seem to notice her nervous gaze, she just took the pickles made by the Cao family with chopsticks and put them in her mouth, chewed slowly, savored the refreshing taste inside, and when she was full, she wiped the corners of her lips unhurriedly, and said with a gentle smile: "I can trust the skills and behavior of Cao Niangzi and Cao Steward, have you ever calculated how much it will cost to let those tenants start work again?" Now I don't have a lot of money, so I still have to think of taking some shops from Zhou's hands to come back, so that I can run the Zhuangzi with silver, and I ...... yesterday."

The lady of the Cao family only understood in Shen Fu's gentle and gentle narration, the bad things in Mingguxuan yesterday, this little woman who looked quite different from ordinary peasant women, also looked at the gentle and gentle face at this moment, and saw that the shopkeeper in an antique shop dared to offend the little master in front of him like this, how would those old fritters in other places deal with it, it was naturally evident, thinking of this, she had more pity for Shen Fu, and her tone became more and more gentle: "I have already calculated the salary, But we are not in a hurry to start work here, but another place, if the master you have that kung fu, toss clearly, this autumn can return to the income in the hands of the original lady, the steward there is called Chen Shang, and my family Ah Lang is the brother of the worshipper, the heart is quite high, and there is also ability, it is hard to survive under the Zhou family, and now Zhuangzi is still in his hands, and it is not as deserted as us, it is ......"

She didn't finish her words, but Shen Fu probably knew what she meant, and also knew that the person in front of her was worried about herself, so Shen Fu showed an extremely gentle smile on his face: "This matter is easy to handle, when I clean up that Zheng Mei Tan, and then take a moment to poke this matter out, kill the chickens and make an example, those shopkeepers in the back naturally don't dare to embarrass me, when the time comes, if I want to come to Steward Chen, I can also see some of my ability, and then visit him, it will be much simpler, Cao Niangzi doesn't have to worry about me, I will go back to the Shen family first, and then come to see you when I have time, nephrite, Go and bring the bag of silver. ”

Shen Fu said, Nephrite brought a bag of silver taels, which Shen Fu planned to use yesterday to reward the stewards in those shops, but now he can't use it, and Shen Fu also knows that if he doesn't give something, the Cao family is afraid that they won't be able to survive it, after all, it's still spring, and it's a little cold, anyway, the Cao family is so dedicated, it is worthy of her Shen Fu to give dozens of taels of silver the first time they meet, and the Cao family also understands that Entu Newspaper, this bit of silver, is not wronged.

"Lady walk slowly."

After it was used too early, a few members of the Cao family sent Shen Fu to the carriage, and then went back to the deserted Zhuangzi to stay, and Shen Fu did not have the intention of continuing to check the shop today, after all, he didn't return at night, and if he didn't go back quickly, those demons and monsters in the Shen family, I didn't know how to arrange her, and Zheng Meitan, who was finally caught, was afraid that she would be let go because of this.

"Girl, although we are holding Zheng Meitan, but now the girl in the main courtyard is also the identity of a future imperial concubine, maybe Ah Lang will be partial again, and I haven't looked at him for so many years." At this time, the carriage that sent Shen Fu back to the Shen family was rented by the Cao family, and the coachman didn't need anyone else, he was still the king of Northern Xinjiang to catch the car, Shen Fu recognized the bed, he didn't sleep well last night, and at the moment he was quite dark and green, and he was taking a nap with his head on his head, Aunt Su was quite intimate and lit the soothing incense she brought with her, nephrite knelt behind Shen Fu, respectfully kneading Shen Fu's shoulders, a little worried.

Shen Fu still closed her eyes, as if she hadn't listened to Nephrite's words at all, Nephrite was a little helpless in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, after all, she also knew that there were too many things yesterday, no matter what, the girl she was serving was really hard, and it was not a big deal to rest and rest in this stall, but what surprised her was still behind, when the carriage finally stopped at the door of Shen's house, Shen Fu, who was originally resting like a raccoon slave, suddenly opened his eyes, and his momentum changed greatly, like a female tiger waking up, unhurried:" This is not a big deal, why should the Fourth Highness compare with the Ninth Highness? Is it military exploits, or power, or the love of the Son of Heaven? Father is a smart person, we don't need to remind him of these things, if the one in the main courtyard really thinks that he is flying and has the ability to do things with me, I don't mind letting the mother and daughter figure out who is in charge of the Shen family now! ”
