Chapter Seventy-Six: From now on, he will be Weng's son-in-law
When night comes, the sky is full of stars, and the breeze in the village is gusting, so it is pleasant. Liu Juntao pushed open the courtyard door and looked at the well-cleaned yard, his heart was full of warmth.
The courtyard prepared by Guo Muying is not big, but it is much stronger than the small house where Liu Juntao lived before, at least the house in the courtyard has three main rooms and two side rooms, how can it be called a "home".
It's just that the current home is still too deserted, and only Liu Juntao is alone.
Liu Juntao pushed open the door of the main room, only to see that the main room was very warmly furnished, a new bed was placed in the innermost, cabinets, tables and chairs, flower stands, and offering tables were all available, and the room was very clean, which could be said to be spotless.
"That's great! Is this what it feels like to be at home? ”
Liu Juntao sat on the soft bed, looked at the neat room, and couldn't help sighing.
At this time, Liu Juntao heard someone knocking on the courtyard door, so he got up and walked to the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Guo Yongzhong, who was still carrying a food box in his hand.
"Guo Yuanwai?"
Guo Yongzhong said with a smile: "Jun Tao, I have a jar of good wine here, it's boring to drink alone, so I came to see if you have eaten, how about it?" Let's try it together. ”
"Okay."
Liu Juntao let Guo Yongzhong in, and after the two entered the house, he said: "Guo Yuanwai, you wait here first, I'll go and see what there is to eat at home." ”
"Don't look at it."
Guo Yongzhong said with a smile: "I heard Mu Ying say, you just moved here today, and a big man has no one to take care of, what can you eat at home?" I've brought some food with me, let's eat together. ”
"Guo Yuanwai must have something to do today! Looks like this is a good preparation. ”
Liu Juntao thought secretly in his heart, so he said with a smile: "Dare not obey your fate!" ”
After speaking, Liu Juntao took the dishes and chopsticks, poured two glasses of wine, and ate and drank with Guo Yongzhong.
After the two of them had drunk for three rounds, the conversation box opened.
"Jun Tao, now that the matter of spring plowing in the Ministry of Civil Affairs has ended, the cultivated land around our Yushan Market has basically been sown, and the rest of the matter is to take care of the wheat seedlings. Looking at this year's year, it should be another bumper harvest year! ”
"Okay!"
Listening to Guo Yongzhong's words, Liu Juntao was very happy in his heart, since the beginning of the spring of the ninth year of orthodoxy, Yushanji and its surrounding cultivated land has reached the limit, there are more than 5,000 acres, if the wind and rain are good this year, the grain produced by these more than 5,000 acres of cultivated land will be very considerable, and Yushanji can completely achieve food self-sufficiency!
To borrow a phrase from later generations: only when the food supply is secure, that is the real security!
"Now it's okay, after the autumn harvest, the grain stored in my Yushan Collection can be piled up in the warehouse, even if we start fighting with the Chen family in the future, we don't have to worry about the food of the thousands of people in the escort team! This is a solution to one of my heart problems! ”
After speaking, Liu Juntao drank a big bowl of wine, and the strong liquor slid into his stomach, which immediately stimulated Liu Juntao to sweat profusely and was very happy.
Guo Yongzhong looked at Liu Juntao, who was in a good mood, and smiled, his eyes were about to squint, as if the elders were looking at a beloved descendant.
"Jun Tao, now our Yushanji's various undertakings can be said to be thriving, do you have any plans for the future?"
"What are your plans for the future?"
Liu Juntao pondered for a while, and then said: "In the future, I plan to use the glaze and fine wine produced by the two workshops in Yushan, as well as the private salt produced by the Yushan Salt Pond, to occupy the entire Shandong market, and even the markets of Nanzhili, Henan and Beizhili!" When that time comes, I will be able to accumulate gold and silver, and the villagers will be able to make a fortune with it. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Juntao and Guo Yongzhong touched their glasses, then took a sip of white wine, and continued: "Of course, the guarantee for achieving these is our Yushan Collective Guard!" Only if our escort team continues to grow, can the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs develop with peace of mind, and our Yushanji can get better and better! ”
Maybe it's the effect of alcohol, after saying these words, Liu Juntao looked very excited, and Guo Yongzhong waited for Guo Yongzhong to express his opinion.
I saw that although Guo Yongzhong was smiling, it seemed that there was something difficult to say.
Seeing this, Liu Juntao asked, "Guo Yuanwai, is there something wrong?" If anything, you just say it. ”
"There's something about Mu Ying'......"
Liu Juntao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Guo Yuanwai, did you listen to what the people in the village said?" Mu Ying and I ......"
Guo Yongzhong saw that Liu Juntao was a little at a loss, and suddenly laughed and said, "Juntao, don't get me wrong, I'm not here to ask about the crime today. ”
"That ......"
"Jun Tao, this saying is good, the daughter Mo Ruo's father! Mu Ying has affection and righteousness for you, I see it in my eyes. ”
Liu Juntao's face turned red when he heard this, and he couldn't speak, as if he was a child who had done something wrong.
Don't look at Liu Juntao's usual killing decisions are very decisive, and he does not hesitate to fight opponents, but he has no experience in the affairs of men and women, and when it comes to the time when he needs to express his opinion, he becomes completely dumb and doesn't know what to say.
Guo Yongzhong couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, and said, "Alas! Juntao, what do you think? You might as well say that there is no one else here today, just you and me, there is no need for any taboos between us. ”
Liu Juntao only felt that his cheeks were hot, and after taking a deep breath, he said: "Guo Yuanwai, let me be honest with you, in fact, I also have a good impression of Mu Ying, but I don't know how to deal with the relationship between us." ”
When Guo Yongzhong heard this, he smiled and said, "What's so bad about this?" It's very easy to do! Since you and Mu Ying are concubines, then we will be Weng's son-in-law in the future! Our family doesn't talk to each other, Jun Tao, you have to find a matchmaker and marry our Mu Ying as soon as possible, you can't delay! ”
Liu Juntao instantly squirted a sip of wine, and the hot white wine suddenly burned his throat painfully, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Liu Juntao's forehead, as if they had been washed.
"This, this, Guo Yuanwai, this is too sudden."
"Suddenly?"
Guo Yongzhong put away the smile on his face and said very seriously: "Jun Tao, I didn't say you, my Muying is already twenty years old, but it's not small!" Now everyone in the village knows that girl likes you, what's the matter? Are you going to back down now? So what about my daughter! ”
Liu Juntao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand Guo Yuanwai, it's not that I don't want to ......."
"That's it!"
Guo Yongzhong didn't wait for Liu Juntao to finish speaking, and said directly: "Juntao, I can tell you, hurry up and prepare for the marriage proposal, my daughter is going to be married by the media, don't delay my daughter's lifelong event!" ”
After speaking, Guo Yongzhong drank the wine in the cup and said, "You can eat these drinks and dishes slowly, it's not too early, I'll go back first." Remember! Don't put it off any longer! ”
Watching Guo Yongzhong humming a little song and swaying out of the yard, Liu Juntao's mind was still a little dizzy.
At this time, there were still a lot of wine and food on the table, Liu Juntao poured himself another glass of wine, and was about to drink it, when he suddenly felt as if he had been calculated today.
"That's not right! Mu Ying first got me a new home, and then Guo Yuanwai came to the door, and their father and daughter connected well enough! ”
Thinking of this, Liu Juntao also smiled dumbly, and then began to think seriously, who is the right person to find to be his matchmaker?
At the same time, Guo Yongzhong staggered back to the door of the house, and suddenly saw Zhang Baigui waiting outside the door, obviously waiting for himself.
"Bai Gui, is there anything wrong with this late hour?"
Zhang Baigui stared at Guo Yongzhong, as if he wanted to see something from Guo Yongzhong's face, and asked, "Say it?" Are you playing Juntao's idea? ”
"yes!"
"You!"
Zhang Baigui didn't expect Guo Yongzhong to hide it without the slightest, and directly admitted it, and all the rhetoric he had thought of was useless now.
"By the way, how do you know I'm going to find Juntao?"
Zhang Baigui frowned and said, "Mu Ying's girl said that she leaked her mouth!" ”
Guo Yongzhong said with a smile when he heard this: "This girl, her mouth is really not strict. ”
"Humph! It seems that you have already planned and found a good son-in-law! ”
Looking at Zhang Baigui, who was constantly sour, Guo Yongzhong said with a smile: "No way, who let me give birth to a girl?" ”
After speaking, Guo Yongzhong walked into the house.
"Old fellow, let's go back to bed early when it's so late!"
Zhang Baigui snorted, then walked back, and said to himself as he walked: "I don't have a daughter, but I have a son!" My son can follow Juntao from birth to death! ”
At this time, Liu Juntao didn't know that Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui, the old brothers, had a big night of fighting, and they were still thinking about their matchmaker candidates depressedly.
Seeing that the wine and food on the table were almost eaten and drunk, Liu Juntao's brain was also dizzy and began to turn into a pot of paste.
"No, it's time to sleep!"
Liu Juntao was about to get up, when suddenly a person appeared in his mind: "Hu Dexing!" ”
"Haha!"
Liu Juntao suddenly laughed, and said a little slurred: "My brother can, it's him!" ”
