Chapter 217 - Payment of Rent
(2nd Update)
The visits of Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian did not affect the farmers to dry their wheat. As soon as www.biquge.info the wheat was dried in the wheat field, the farmers pushed the carts to pay the rent. The back door of the Jin Mansion leading to the granary was wide open, the threshold had been drawn, and a dozen or so Tun Grain Duozi who besieged the city with cool mats opened their mouths, just waiting for the new wheat to pour in.
Since it was the first time to collect rent, Yang Ying attached great importance to it, and ordered his subordinates to clean the granary in his busy schedule. Uncle Chen, Han Wu, and Wen Zongchang all changed into brand new clothes, and they opened their posture at the back door before dawn.
"Is this necessary?". Jin Yu pointed to the fierce and vicious family members at the gate and said. This is the first time that Yang Ying has collected rent since she became the main mother, and the poor little girl didn't sleep well all night, so she dragged Jin Yu up early in the morning and pulled him to hide in the corner to watch the rent collection.
"Uncle Chen said that this is a rule left in the past, for fear that someone will grab grain, but it is not aimed at our own farmers, let's just do it." Yang Ying explained softly to Jin Yu.
"Oh, then keep watching." Jin Yu yawned and said.
A large shed was set up at the door, the tables, chairs and benches were placed neatly, baskets of steamed buns were placed under the shed, the cauldron outside the shed was steaming, the pork bones inside were already cooked, and the oil stars with the size of copper coins were constantly changing their shapes with the boiling soup. The soup is fragrant, and many farmers can't stop sniffing and wiping their saliva.
Chen Rui was in good spirits at this time, and shouted at the Zhuang Hu who was already waiting at the door: "I have lined up the car, Mrs. has explained, eat first, and then pass the mistletoe according to Mrs. Order, today and tomorrow, the steamed bun broth is full, and your mother-in-law and baby can bring mix."
Looking at Steward Chen's mighty appearance, the villagers laughed, consciously set up the car in the order of first come, first served, and went to the shed to have breakfast.
Jin Yu turned his face and glanced at Yang Ying, "The lady is really good at being a person, Uncle Chen will say good things for you." ”
Yang Yingnen blushed, saw that there was no one around, and raised her toes to incense Jin Yu's cheeks for a while, which could be regarded as an apology for her behavior of leaving her husband to gain fame.
Steward Chen shouted for a while, still not enjoying himself, and then said: "The young master shouted to everyone to plant wheat a year ago, and some of them were not happy, but now they have tasted the sweetness, right?" A lot of words are now harvested in Chang'an City, if anyone is unwilling to plant wheat this year, the young master will no longer force it."
The farmers laughed, pointing to the few who were not happy at the beginning was a ridicule, and the people did not care, and promised that they would listen to the arrangement of the master's family in the coming year. But Jin Yu secretly gave a thumbs up, this housekeeper should beat it like this when it is appropriate, who will say no word when he encounters similar things in the future?
The farmers didn't eat anything, and soon some people finished eating, and the rent collection officially began. Since there was no account room, Wen Zongchang came over to make a temporary cameo. The dealers all know Wen Zongchang's identity, and their own babies are still counting on Wen Zongchang's teaching, so the dealers have special respect for Wen Zongchang.
There was no imaginary bargaining, no bargaining, and no landlord using a big mistletoe pit to harm the tenants, and there was no incident of crying and wiping tears. Steward Chen first called the big number of the villagers, and then the farmers reported the harvest by themselves, and then the rent was passed over the mistletoe, and the Chen housekeeper reported a number, Wen Zongchang wrote it down and nodded, and the family was finished. The farmers who did not have their turn all gathered together to play common words, joke with each other, and talk happily about this year's good harvest, and reconcile the ruthless exploitation of the poor tenant farmers by the evil feudal landlords. …,
"It's as simple as that?" Jin Yu still didn't believe his eyes, textbooks didn't write like this, movies and TV series didn't act like this, how could there be a bit of class antagonism on the smiling faces of the farmers? What about the white-haired girl?
"It's as simple as that, how difficult does the husband think it is?" Yang Ying glanced at Jin Yu, she had experienced this kind of scene when she was a child, and she had secretly seen it, but she was not in charge at that time.
"Don't cry, don't make trouble, don't hang, it's boring, what's the point? Go back to the house and eat. Jin Yu shook his head in disappointment, since there was no white-haired girl, he should regretfully withdraw as a landlord, so he pulled Yang Ying and went back.
"Husband is really, how can anyone expect his farmers to make trouble?" Yang Ying patted Jin Yu gently, and obediently followed Jin Yu back to the house for dinner.
"This meat tastes very fragrant, I'll send some to Daoist Qingxiazi later, hehe." Jin Yu sniffled and said with bad intentions.
"Husband, just do it badly, be careful that Qingxiazi Daoist draws a circle to curse you." Yang Ying frowned, thinking about the bones in the cauldron made her feel a little sick to her stomach.
"Hehe, Qingxiazi is not disgusted, the last time I ate it was called a fragrant, haha" Jin Yu wanted to laugh when he remembered Qingxiazi's appearance last time, playing tricks on people is really one of the great joys of life.
"That husband can't let the lady eat, what a pitiful little girl." Yang Ying felt a little distressed when she thought of that girl, and accused Jin Yu of saying.
"I didn't want to tease the husband for my mother, it's not that Qingxiazi feels sorry for the mother, and I let her eat it, it's all because of Qingxiazi's chief, it's not my husband's fault." Jin Woo defended himself.
"Then what should I do if Daoist Qingxiazi lets my mother eat it again this time?" Yang Ying looked at Jin Yudao.
Jin Yu spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's just that the husband won't tease Qingxiazi anymore, this is all right?" Quite a few words"
"That's pretty much it." Yang Ying held Jin Yu's arm and put her face on Jin Yu's arm, looking like a bird.
"My husband promised Qingxiazi that he would enter the mountain once in the next two days, and when the time comes, you should pay more attention to some maids to see if those maids have wronged her." Jin Yu remembered the agreement with Qingxiazi and said to Yang Ying.
"Hmm." Yang Ying nodded and responded, she was such a lovely girl, it was too late to make people feel distressed, Yang Ying would not let people wronged her. Although Yang Ying is now fourteen years old, she has always looked forward to being a mother, and now she has a little doll for her to love, and she will not refuse. "My husband is also concerned about the affairs of the family, how many times have I told my husband, and we should find a bookkeeper in our house."
"Isn't it like you're busy all the time, and when you're busy, you forget about it." Jin Yu suddenly remembered this sub-incident, and recently made the eldest grandson and queen mother make such a fuss, and this matter was really forgotten by himself.
"Then this time the husband has to pay attention."
"Cheng, then pay attention to the husband." Jin Yu nodded in response. Housekeeper and bookkeeper are all important positions in the house, and it is really not easy to find a suitable one, but you can't always let Wen Zongchang work part-time, right? Not a lot of words
After eating, Jin Yu's idle eggs hurt, and it was not his turn to intervene in the rent collection, so it was not appropriate to go out and play with friends. Now that everyone is busy, it seems too rude to visit at this time, of course, the eldest grandson queen doesn't count, even if it is, Jin Yu doesn't dare to say it, right?
After turning around and still having nothing to do, Jin Yu bathed the lion again, and just when he was bored and wanted to go to the house to uncover the tiles, Yang Ying assigned Jin Yu a job - sealing the warehouse.
Looking at the seals and paste in his hands, Jin Yu was very depressed, how could this kind of physical work be done by himself, the head of the family? "It's good to let the people do these jobs, why let the husband come?"
"That's not possible" Yang Ying shook her head and said seriously: "The beginning of the sacrifice is the head of the family, and the head of the family must come forward at the end of the sacrifice, which is called a beginning and an end." ”…,
"It's so exquisite, there is no wheat at home, and I will uncover the grinding dough in a few days, and now I put the seal on it, isn't it taking off my pants and giving up - is this an extra move?". Jin Yu shook his head, a little difficult to understand the rules of this year.
"Husband just can't talk well." Yang Ying's background and education since childhood made her unable to accept Jin Yu's vulgarity, and slapped Jin Yu as a warning, "The new grain is too angry, and after eating Keyang Qi, it has to be unsealed in Layue." ”
"You also believe the statement of fooling melon seeds." Jin Yu pinched Yang Yingxiu's nose and expressed the author's own opinion: "The more you believe in the grain, the better it tastes, and the statement that the lady heard is just an excuse for storing grain that has been handed down in the past." ”
"That's not good, didn't the husband say to follow the local customs? We also have to do this, and the provincial grinding noodles are made into meat buns for people to talk about. This time, Yang Ying was very resolute, but she didn't agree to eat the new amount.
Jin Yu is helpless, women are not terrible, they are afraid that women will be brainless. "Then listen to the lady."
"The husband sticks stronger, don't be beaten by the wind and rain." Hearing Jin Yu's compromise, Yang Ying showed a smile and handed the paste in her hand to Jin Yu.
Walking on the way to the granary, Jin Yu was still thinking about what a good man is, and those who listen to his wife are called good men, and he can be included in the ranks of good men, right? Not a lot of words
To say that this granary is only full of two, Jin Yu boredly brushed a thick layer of paste, and then pasted the seal into a "^_^" shape, and then clapped his hands, yes, he was very satisfied, haha.
As soon as Jin Yu finished washing his hands here, Qingxiazi arrived, still dressed in the same sloppy manner, wearing a cyan robe in the summer, and on such a poisonous day, there was not a drop of sweat on his face.
"Boy, have you forgotten what you promised to be poor?" Qingxiazi sat on the stone bench with her buttocks, grabbed Jin Yu's shaved ice and dried it in one go, and didn't forget to burp.
"The kid still has to put a seal, how about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?" Jin Yu pointed to the paste basin and seal next to him, and said helplessly. Compared with Yang Ying's persistence, Qingxiazi's habit of using bowls indiscriminately made Jin Yu even more helpless, and it seemed that he could only change another bowl.
"Cheng" Qingxiazi said contentedly, "Poor Dao wants to discuss with you, how about bringing your sister-in-law?" ”
"No," Jin Yu said categorically.
"This will do."
"This really doesn't work."
"Don't think about it anymore?"
