The boat moved slowly along the Qinhuai River, did not enter the city, but kept going upstream, and after traveling for more than an hour, it stopped, and there were already people waiting on the bank of the river.

Everyone got off the boat, and immediately a steward came up to meet the princess, and Ma Dajia asked, "It's all done?" ”

The steward replied respectfully, "Back to the princess, the villain has already done it, according to the princess's instructions, the villain has purchased a total of more than 200 acres of good paddy fields, all on the west side of the riverbank, and the east side of the riverbank is on high ground, where there is the courtyard of the original landlord, so they bought it together." There was no time to build a house, but more than 20 tents were set up, which could be lived in first, and the house could be built slowly. ”

Ma Dajia arranged for the clipper to go to Yingtian in advance, and let the steward of the palace handle the place where the 100 people stayed.

Ma Dajia nodded and asked, "Have you ever used the situation to lower the price?" How much does it cost? ”

"The villain didn't dare to ruin the princess's reputation, and they all went according to the market. However, the land is cheap in these years, and the courtyard is also half sold and half given away by the landlord, and it didn't cost a few in total. The steward obviously understood Ma Dajia's style very well, and took out the title deed from his sleeve and handed it to Ma Dajia.

Ma Dajia nodded, turned to the old loach and said: "The old man's more than two hundred acres of land are enough for 100 people to cultivate, and here is close to the river, everyone can fish in their spare time, there is no problem in living, there are tents here to live in first, and the house will definitely be built before winter." In the future, the father-in-law will rely on the land rent to support his grandchildren. ”

The old loach was already fainting with happiness, and he thought that it would be good to have a few acres of land for him to rent, but he didn't expect that he would become a landlord all of a sudden. After several lifetimes of hard work, he has saved more than a dozen acres and has not kept it, and now he has more than 200 acres at once, he feels like a dream, looking at the deed of ownership handed over by Ma Dajia, he doesn't know whether to take it, and he is speechless with excitement.

"Thank you, sister." The prawn took the title deed from Ma Dajia and stuffed it to the old loach.

The old loach finally woke up and knelt down again, he had some bones, but his knees were very soft, "The old man really doesn't know what to say, he doesn't dare to trouble the princess anymore, we can build the house ourselves." ”

Other islanders also said: "It is a great kindness for the princess to let us have land to plant, and we have our own hands and feet, so we dare not cause trouble to the princess anymore." ”

A few days was enough time for them to ask the soldiers about Ma Dajia's background, which made them both shocked and delighted, and some of them had planned to go back if it didn't work, but now they were even more determined.

The steward of the palace said: "The princess has worked hard all the way, and the villain in the courtyard over there has already been cleaned up, do you want the princess to go over and rest." ”

Ma Dajia nodded, "Okay, go over and have a look!" ”

Not far from the east bank, there is a small courtyard of blue bricks and blue tiles, and there are more than 20 tarpaulin tents around it. Although the yard is only one entry, the area is not small, in addition to the east and west wings, there is also a large warehouse, which should be used by the landlord to collect rent.

The yard was cleaned up, with a lot of furnishings and daily necessities, and the steward said that there were a few stones of grain and a few pieces of cloth in the storehouse.

A few children scurried around the house, visiting each house, and the little fish threw themselves on the soft bed and buried their heads in the quilt, "This house is mine, and I want to sleep here with my brother." ”

Water chestnut naturally didn't do it, "What is yours, I will sleep here at night." ”

Xiao Yu'er is rare and generous, "Okay, let's sleep together!" Hee-hee......"

Ma Dajia sat in the living room, holding a tea bowl and looking at the two grandparents and grandchildren who were circling in the room, "Is the old man still satisfied?" ”

The old loach nodded again and again, "Satisfied, very satisfied." The house is spacious and clean, more than enough for six of us. ”

Zhu Wenying said: "There are only five, and my uncle will follow us back to the city." ”

The old loach was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "That's nature, that's nature." ”

Prawn asked, "Sister, don't I live here?" ”

Ma Dajia smiled: "You are sick, Sister is going to find a doctor for you to see, and your brother-in-law and nephew miss you very much, don't you go to see it." ”

"Well, of course I want to go, and my younger brother also wants to meet my brother-in-law and nephew."

Zhu Wenying walked outside to look at the sky, "Mother, it's not early, or let's go back." ”

Ma Dajia got up, "Prawn, let's go." ”

"That's good." The prawn took out five cents from his arms and handed it to the old loach, "This is the money I earned from that stupid big man, you keep it for good use." ”

The old loach took the money, took out a baggage, and handed it to Madu, so that he could keep it and eat it. You don't have to look at the smell to know that it's all dried fish.

Xiao Yu'er ran out of the inner room, raised his head and asked the prawn, "Is my brother leaving?" ”

The old loach grabbed the little granddaughter, "My brother is going to the city for treatment, and he will be back in a few days!" ”

"Yes, my brother will be back in a few days, and he will bring a lot of delicious food to Xiaoyu'er." The prawn wiped Xiao Yu'er's head, and said to the little turtle: "My brother is not at home, you and Da Yu'er have to take care of grandpa." ”

"You know! Brother, rest assured! The little turtle said vigorously.

"Brother is gone, big fish, water chestnut!"

"Goodbye, brother!" The little girls shouted in unison, and Xiao Yu'er didn't forget to add, "Brother, don't forget to bring me something delicious!" ”

Prawn turned his head, "I can't forget!" Hehe......"

Looking at the back of the prawn leaving, the old loach held the copper coin in his hand tightly, and he felt that the prawn would never come back.

The prawns followed Ma Dajia to the boat, Zhu Wenying came to the boat after a while, and Ma Dajia asked, "Wenying, what are you doing?" ”

Zhu Wenying whispered in Ma Dajia's ear: "I went and beat those people, so that they don't make trouble in the name of their mother and uncle." ”

"It's fine." Ma Dajia nodded, "Let's start the boat quickly, it's not too early, don't wait for the water gate to close." ”

The boat went down the Qinhuai River, and in less than an hour, it entered the city through the water gate. The bustling sound outside made the prawns curiously open the window,

"Oh, there are so many people! The houses here are so tall and beautiful! ”

"Sister, look, isn't that a candy seller!"

"Nephew, look, there are cloth tigers over there, I'm going to buy one for each of them in Ming'er!"

Where are there any children of masters, it is simply a bun from the countryside, and the two of them couldn't help but think to themselves, Lao Zhu will be very disappointed when he sees it.

As the boat passed through a beautiful house, the prawns smelled a sweet aroma, and from the house came a beautiful singing voice, which sounded gentle and plaintive, and the prawns' heart was empty, and it seemed that there were a hundred rats scratching in their hearts.

A painting boat staggered past their boat, and a basin of water splashed down from the window, with a strong smell of rouge, and the woman who splashed the water was very good-looking, with curved eyebrows, big eyes, and a red mouth, and giggled at the prawns at the window......

Squeak, the window was slammed shut, and Ma Dajia made a rare face, "It's all bad women here, you can't look at it!" ”

"That woman smiles very well, she doesn't look like a bad person......" Feeling that Zhu Wenying was stabbing herself, the prawn hurriedly changed her words, "The eldest sister doesn't like it, the younger brother won't watch it in the future!" Ma Dajia nodded with satisfaction.

The boat stopped at a wharf, and the three of them got off the boat, got into the carriage and were escorted by the soldiers and went straight to the palace of King Wu.

The origin of Wu Wangfu is not small, it used to be the Forbidden City of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty Palace, and later became the Imperial History of the Jiangnan Zhudao of the Yuan Court, since entering Yingtian, Lao Zhu has been living here.

Lao Zhu built a new palace and gave it to Xu Da, who still had no mansion. This is Lao Zhu's hidden residence Xu Da where dare to ask, Lao Zhu had to build another house for Xu Da next to Wu Wangfu, and then I don't know how it still fell into the hands of the Xu family, after the Xu family has been repaired for generations, it has become one of the four major gardens in the south of the Yangtze River.

The prawns followed Ma Dajia into the Wu Wang's Mansion, only to feel that the scenery in the mansion was dizzying, and he looked around completely like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

The three of them were going to go to the front office, but a steward caught up and said that Lao Zhu was waiting in the back flower hall with the prince. The three of them had not gone far before they entered a spacious courtyard.

In front of the door, Lao Zhu lined up with four villains, and when he saw the three of them coming in, Lao Zhu greeted him with a big smile, and hugged the prawns with his arms open, "Good brother, I miss my brother-in-law!" ”

Seeing the prawn's blank eyes, Lao Zhu frowned and asked, "Brother, I really don't recognize my brother-in-law." "I sent a clipper to report to Lao Zhu with a letter from Ma Dajia before, so I asked this question.

Prawn shook his head and said, "Little brother doesn't remember my brother-in-law, so I ask my brother-in-law to forgive me." ”

Ma Dajia sighed and said, "The prince should not force him to ask him again, lest he have another headache." ”

"Good! Hehe...... Don't ask. It's good to be back, it's a great blessing to be alive. In the end, it's your brother-in-law who didn't take care of you. Lao Zhu put his arm around Ma Du's shoulders and beckoned to the four villains at the door: "The boys are all coming over to see their uncle." ”

The four villains came in response, bowed in unison, and shouted crisply, "Uncle! ”

"Hey!" Prawn responded with a smile.

Ma Dajia walked up to the four of them and pointed to the eldest one, who was about eight or nine years old, "This is the eldest son, Biao'er, who is nine years old this year, and the prince has just made him a son this year." ”

Zhu Biao is chubby, not very white like Lao Zhu, but his eyebrows and eyes are like a horse's big feet, his eyes are dark, and he looks at the prawns curiously, "Biao'er has seen uncle!" ”

"That's good!" The prawn subconsciously wiped two handfuls on his body, but it was empty, and when he saw the burden Zhu Wenying was carrying in his hand, he reached out and took out a dried fish from it, "Oh, take it, this is a gift from your uncle to you." ”

Zhu Biao was afraid that it was the first time he had received such a strange gift, but he still received it inside his sleeve, "Thank you, uncle!" “

Lao Zhu was dumbfounded, Zhu Wenying's stomach was twitching violently, and Ma Dajiao couldn't hold back a smile, "This is the second son Zhu Zhang!" “

"You've seen your uncle!" As soon as the boy saw the gift his brother had received, he immediately lost interest in the poor uncle.

"That's good!" Prawn gave the same second gift.

"It stinks!" As soon as Zhu Fan spoke, he saw his father's sharp eyes, and hurriedly pinched his nose and took it.

"Haha......" Prawn smiled, "Actually, my uncle doesn't like dried fish either, he prefers large pieces of Dongpo meat, and my uncle will definitely give you a better one in the future!" “

"This is the third son, Zhu Li!"

"Li'er has seen my uncle!" His Royal Highness the future King of Jin is a very small Zhengtai, pinching his tail and receiving the meeting gift of the prawns.

"This is the fourth!" Ma Dajiao pointed to the youngest one, but he was three or four years old, and he seemed to have just woken up, "This kid just sleeps during the day and tosses people at night!" “

Prawn smiled: "I know, his name is Zhu Di, right?" “

Lao Zhu and Ma Dajia glanced at each other, very puzzled, because they didn't give the fourth child a name at all (Zhu Di only had a name when he was seven years old)!
