Chapter 792 Greetings

"The old lady and the young master are back."

"The old lady and the young master are back."

Before Liu Yiyi's convoy entered the village, he heard a burst of cheerful cheers in the manor, and then one after another villagers came out of their houses and gathered at the gate of the manor.

"These are all tenants in the house?" Hearing the noise outside, Luo Qishi opened the curtains and looked out of the car, and saw that there were hundreds of people waiting outside, men, women and children, all of them with ruddy faces, dressed in new cloth cotton clothes, when they looked at the convoy they were in, they all looked excited, in awe, and it could be seen that when they saw the owner come back, the cheerful feelings on their faces were all from the heart.

"I didn't expect this kid to be quite welcoming here?" Hearing Zhang Chuchu's affirmative answer, Luo Qi withdrew his gaze from the outside and sighed softly: "The old man has lived for most of his life, but it is rare to see a tenant farmer who loves their owner so much. ”

The Luo Qi clan has always thought that they are lenient with their subordinates, and they are also good at caring for their tenants, but every time she and her son return to the manor, those tenants see them, either awe and avoid, or bow courteously, but they have never been treated like Liu Yiyi and them.

"That's because the husband gave them hope, and also gave them a rich life that they no longer starved and were no longer poor." Zhang Chuchu was not too surprised, quietly looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces outside the carriage, and said softly: "Godmother or don't know, most of these people are the first batch of tenants who followed the husband at the beginning of the husband's family, and they are also the most loyal cornerstone of our Liu family." ”

"Seeing that they are now well-dressed and healthy, my godmother must not have imagined what their situation was two or three years ago." Zhang Chuchu said: "At that time, they were all ragged, yellow and thin, and they might not be able to drink a mouthful of porridge all day, if it wasn't for the appearance of their husbands at that time, most of them would have starved to death." ”

Zhang Chuchu still remembers the first time he saw Li Dechen and Weng Yu and their tenants, when they had already entered Zhuangzi and could eat a full meal, but because the time to follow her husband was still short, and the body had not fully recovered, they were all covered with skin and bones, the skin was yellow, the eyes were protruding, and the shape of the bones in the joints of the arms could be seen clearly.

"At that time, the situation of the family was also just beginning, and the husband did not have much money left, but the husband still gave priority to providing them and their families with enough food and clothing to survive, so that they could have food and clothing." Zhang Chuchu continued: "Later, they also knew how to repay their kindness, no one was lazy when they worked, and they were also very loyal to the Liu Mansion, and the Liu family was able to have such achievements now, and most of their credit." ”

"It turns out that a brother-in-law still has such a past," Di Zhizhi sat beside her mother-in-law, stretched out her two little hands above the stove to keep warm, and when she heard Zhang Chuchu's words, she couldn't help but change her previous opinion of Liu Yiyi, and said softly: "I can't see that a brother-in-law is really a kind-hearted person." ”

"Treat people with sincerity, have a good heart, lose some money, and win the hearts of the people, no wonder these tenants treat him so sincerely." Luo Qi nodded lightly, and thought a little higher about his godson-in-law's character.

Of course, this does not rule out that he is buying people's hearts, but in any case, he has done this good deed, and those poor tenants have finally been able to have food and clothing, and they will receive benefits, which is not seen in some other large owners, even if he is trying to buy people's hearts, he has finally done a good deed.

Now these farmers gathered outside have explained the problem very well, the people's desire, this is the people's hope, this is the people's heart.

"The old lady is fine, the young master and the young lady are well"

While the mother and her children were talking, the tenants outside shouted in unison, and they all bent down to salute the carriage and the willow on the white donkey.

"Godmother, let's get out of the car too?" Seeing that the husband and Brother Luo had jumped off the donkey and the horse, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law also got out of the carriage, especially the father-in-law, even if his right leg was inconvenient, he insisted on letting people help him walk down, Zhang Chuchu took Xiao Bao'er from Luo Qi's arms and asked Luo Qi's softly.

"Well, it should be, it should be, this cold day, don't chill everyone's minds." Luo Qishi nodded lightly, then began to get up, got out of the carriage with his daughter-in-law and Zhang Chuchu, and stepped forward to stand with Lao Liu and his wife.

"All the folks are okay, Liu Mou thanked me here" Liu Yiyi didn't expect so many people to come out, and he was still thinking about quietly entering the village and returning to his house, so he had to turn over and get off the donkey, and bent over to return the salute to the villagers around, and said loudly: "It's cold and frozen, how can Liu have to work so hard that all the villagers are here?" Please also ask all the villagers to return, don't be infected with the wind and cold because of Liu's line, and break your body, if that's Liu's sin, please also ask all the villagers to return, Liu is here's thanked"

Liu Yiyi's words fell, but everyone's expressions were even more excited, all gathered together and looked at their host excitedly, refusing to leave, seeing Liu Yiyi's head for a while, how could he never expect that he Liu Yiyi would also be watched by people one day, although these people were all out of love for themselves in their hearts.

"The owner, the villain has given you a salute" At this time, an old man walked out of the crowd, and he also looked excited and respectfully saluted Liu Yiyi.

"It turned out to be Mr. Li" Liu Yiyi recognized the person, bowed his hand and returned the salute, and then looked at the people who were still blocking in front and asked Li Dechen softly: "I don't know why this folks?" ”

"I haven't seen the owner for a long time, folks, I'm missing you." Li Dechen explained excitedly: "I just heard that the owner returned from Chang'an, so I couldn't help but come out to greet the owner and the old lady. ”

"Uncle Li is serious, the villagers are enthusiastic, and they are not enough to be grateful, so how can they blame lightly." Liu Yiyi waved his hand lightly and said: "It's just that it's freezing now, it's really not suitable to stay outside for a long time, it's still a child in the village, and I can't stand the fierce cold, Uncle Li still persuades everyone to go home." ”

"Yes, the owner" responded, Li Dechen saluted again, then turned around and said loudly to the hundreds of people in front of him: "Folks, the owner is sympathetic, I don't want to see everyone frozen here, please return; And the owner is back, people are sleepy and tired, and there is a little young master on the side, it is not suitable to stay outside for a long time, and I hope everyone can be sympathetic to the owner, don't be more entangled here, anyway, the owner will return home for the New Year, and there will be a chance to meet in the future, so let's disperse, disperse."

"Everyone spread out, spread out and let the owner first go to the house to drink ginger tea to warm up, the little young master is less than a year old, the most unbearable cold, everyone quickly get out of the way, don't freeze our little owner in the future." Weng Yu took the opportunity to shout in the crowd and directed the crowd to make a passage.

Not long after the "young master" crowd separated, Lao Liu and Liu He's party also got back into the carriage, and at this time, Liu Wuchen and Liu Cheng, who heard the news, also hurriedly rushed over from the house, and when they came to Liu Yiyi's side, they all bent down to salute.

"Hmm." Nodding slightly, Liu Yiyi bowed his hand again to the villagers who had not yet dispersed, and then walked forward towards the gate of the manor.

"Why don't you let the young master know in advance when he comes back," motioned for his subordinates to take the reins in Liu Yiyi and Luo Tong's hands, Liu Wuchen followed behind Liu Yiyi and said in a voice: "It's okay for Wuchen to make some preparations in advance and bring someone to take care of him." ”

"There's no need to be so troublesome," Liu Yiyi chuckled and shook his head, "It's just a trip home, and there's no need to toss back and forth with labor." ”

"Oh," after a pause, Liu Yiyi pointed to Luo Tong Zhengse and introduced to Liu Wuchen: "This is Brother Luo, this year will be in our village for the New Year, and there are a few family members accompanying him, you can prepare a few rooms when you go back, don't be lazy." ”

"Yes, young master." In response, Liu Wuchen raised his arm and arched his hand to Luo Tong and said: "I have seen Young Master Luo, the contemptible Liu Wuchen, I was wrongly loved by Young Master, and I was added as the housekeeper in the house, if Young Master Luo needs anything in the mansion in the future, just give an order." ”

"Well, Steward Liu is polite." Luo Tong returned the salute, and also casually politely said a few words, and then said no more, just looked around with interest at the internal and external structure of the Liu manor.

"These courtyards are all built around the gate of the mansion," seeing that Luo Tong seemed to be somewhat interested in the buildings in the manor, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but explain to him beside him: "With the mansion as the center, scattered like stars, there are about more than 400 households, which are built for the subordinates of the mansion and the tenants in the manor. ”

"When the mansion was first established, most of the tenant farmers under its jurisdiction had no houses to live in, so when the mansion was built, they had the idea of expanding a manor." Liu Yiyi said: "Now it is basically the same as the household, so that those tenant farmers and their families do not have to suffer from wind and frost anymore. ”

"Brother Xian is benevolent," Luo Tong's face couldn't help but change color when he heard what Liu Yiyi said, and then looked at Liu Yiyi with admiration and said: "Brother Wei finally understands a little now, why those farmers and villagers came out to welcome Brother Xian despite the severe cold." ”

"It's the villagers who carry their love, and Brother Luo is too famous." Liu Yiyi waved his hand disapprenosantly and said: "The tenant farmers are simple, if you are good to them, they will not fail you, and the Liufu has not lost their help over the years, speaking of which, the mansion has also stained them with a lot of light." ”

"Treat people with sincerity, and don't expect to repay kindness," Luo Tong praised Liu Yiyi again: "As a brother, I understand why a virtuous brother can break into such a big family business in just three years." ”
