Chapter 158: Gratitude (Second Request for a Monthly Pass)

Xu Boping had to rush back to the capital, and it was inconvenient to stay in the town for a long time.

came out of "Barilla", Xu Boping repeatedly instructed Gui Chongyang not to be polite, even if he didn't want to trouble Tensor, don't be polite to his senior brother, otherwise he would be really annoyed.

Gui Chongyang responded one by one.

"Say Cao Cao Cao will arrive", Xu Boping just mentioned Tensor, and saw Tensor come in a hurry with two chiefs, and saw Xu Boping showing a little flattery: "Cousin! ”

The ugly thing of his in-laws made his cousin encounter a positive one, even if he didn't know the bottom of his heart, he was afraid that his cousin would be angry with him, so he couldn't help but be a little careful.

In front of the Gui brothers, Xu Boping didn't want to say anything about tensor, but said: "Anyway, in the future, Chongyang will be handed over to you, if you still let him be wronged, then I will settle accounts with you!" ”

Zhang Liang immediately patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, cousin, just leave it to me, even if my cousin doesn't tell me, for Mr. Gui's sake, can I still look at it in vain?" ”

Xu Boping nodded and didn't ramble any more.

Gui Qiu was beside him, although he didn't know what the identity of this Senior Brother Xu's cousin was, but he heard the sentence "Mr. Gui" clearly.

The fourth cousin who fell in the county test of his own county, how did he become a gentleman?

Gui Qiu was really worried, for fear that the fourth cousin would have the audacity to deceive the two people in front of him. The fourth cousin is deceased, but if Chongyang is implicated, wouldn't he be wronged?

Xu Boping's entourage led the horse over, Xu Boping took the reins, and said to Gui Chongyang: "I'm afraid I won't be able to pull away and come over again after the New Year, I asked someone to leave that address before, you can write to me." Wen Jue's order has been issued, and you will be able to arrive in Beijing before the year, and when the time comes, you will also come to the capital to go around, open your eyes, and don't stay in the village. ”

Gui Chongyang listened honestly and nodded in response: "Okay, when Senior Brother Wen comes, the younger brother will go to visit Senior Brother and Senior Brother Wen." ”

Xu Boping nodded, turned over on his horse, waved to everyone, and led the captain to ride away with the horse.

It wasn't until the two of them were far away that Zhang Liang said to Gui Chongyang: "You are the only one who can let my cousin make a special trip." How many people want to talk to their cousin and can't enter the door, you will be more enthusiastic in the future. ”

Gui Chongyang actually wanted to ask Xu Boping's father and ancestor to confirm the identity of Senior Brother Xu, but he hesitated for a while and still didn't speak, no matter whether Xu Boping was the heir of the public mansion or a member of the Xu family's side branches, what did it have to do with him?

Zhang Liang saw it in his eyes, only when Gui Chongyang was in trouble, he thought of the 600 acres of land, and said, "Are you worried about the land resumption?" If you're worried, let Zhong Yousheng follow you. Even if Naduri is the head snake of the land, he will be afraid of three points when he sees the people of the yamen going down. ”

Zhong Yousheng is the name of the county yahu section of the Zhong Xiaoguan.

Gui Chongyang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't bother, since Du Li knows the identity of Brother Zhang, he won't be relieving!" ”

Zhang Liang said thoughtfully: "I see that your village has a population of only about 100 households, and what is Du Li doing to raise so many young people?" But are you worried about fighting for land and water? ”

Du Li is raising young and strong, or Gui Chongyang mentioned it first, but he didn't see it with his own eyes and was impressed.

In places like Beijing and Nanjing, where powerful people gather, it is common for a large family to raise young and strong people to serve as a family nursing home, but it is a little wrong to stay in a remote village.

Gui Chongyang shook his head and said, "I returned to my hometown in April, and I have never heard of similar disputes. There are also young men of the Du family, who have not appeared in the village before, but have only come out inexplicably in the past few days. ”

Hearing this, Tensor couldn't help frowning.

Gui Chongyang didn't say it carefully, and Tensor couldn't think of anything else, so he naturally thought of Steward Zhao forcing the Du family to sell land.

This Du family, but it should be checked carefully. Du Li Zheng originally prepared those people, didn't he want to deal with Steward Zhao? How are you going to deal with it?

Gui Chongyang's mind is also pondering Du Lizheng, although Du Li is taking the initiative to sell the land this time, Du Li Zheng may not feel that he is taking the initiative, and he may not think that the Gui family "fox fake tiger power" bought the land.

But it doesn't matter, with the county order as a backer, if Gui Chongyang is still worried about a lizheng, it would be too timid.

Zhang Liang only noticed Guiqiu standing next to him at this time, only nodded, did not make any special inquiries, pointed to a pony brought by the entourage and said: "You have a house now, and you have also purchased a property, there is nothing missing, this pony will give you." On weekdays, don't be confined to the study to read and write, the body is stronger than anything else. ”

In front of me is a pony about one year old, with a red body and four hooves stepping on the snow, looking very beautiful.

Every teenager has a chivalrous dream of riding a horse and archery, and Gui Chongyang is no exception.

Gui Chongyang fell in love with this little red horse at a glance, and was reluctant to look away, and said with a little embarrassment: "Thank you, Brother Zhang!" ”

Seeing that the gift was right, Zhang Liang was also a little happier in his heart, and said, "Thank you for what?" It's not a few dollars, and there is nowhere to buy Zhuangzi in Jinling now. Speaking of which, I took advantage of you, you practice hard, and after two years, there will be benefits waiting for you. ”

Does this mean that Senior Brother Xu will arrange Gui Chongyang's future?

Gui Qiu listened, but Gui Chongyang didn't take it seriously. Even if he knew that Senior Brother Xu was the son of a powerful man, he didn't have the idea of looking up to others.

Tensor took his entourage away, Gui Chongyang took the pony and took out two pieces of kraft candy from his purse to feed the horse, but the pony was docile and ate the kraft candy with his tongue rolled.

Gui Chongyang touched the horse's mane, with a little joy.

Gui Qiu said with concern: "Will you owe too much favor?" ”

A horse has eight or nine taels of silver, but the pony in front of him has a bright coat and a uniform skeleton, which is obviously a good breed war horse, not an ordinary horse.

Gui Chongyang was surprised, what is this pony? Those 600 acres of land are the real human favor.

Thinking of this, Gui Chongyang remembered that he hadn't mentioned this to Gui Qiu yet, so he said, "Second brother, let's go to the fifth uncle's house, I have something to tell the fifth uncle." ”

Gui Qiu naturally had no objections, and the two cousins went to Gui Wu's house.

At the door of Gui Wu's house, the two brothers happened to meet with Zhong Xiaoyi, who came out.

Gui Wu sent Zhong Xiaoyan out, and it was not surprising to see the two brothers.

Seeing Gui Chongyang, Zhong Xiaoyi's expression was a little sneering. He didn't have bad intentions, but he really came here to mention Gui Chongyang's matter to Gui Wu, and he was naturally a little embarrassed to meet the person concerned.

"Uncle Zhong." Gui Chongyang is still as usual.

Zhong Xiaoyan nodded and said, "When your uncle and nephew speak, I'll take the first step." With that, he hurried away.

Gui Wu looked at Gui Chongyang with a smile, and Gui Chongyang touched his nose.

The uncles and nephews entered the house, and Gui Chongyang and Gui Qiu went to see the Jiang family first, and then turned back to the front hall to talk to Gui Wu.

"Six hundred acres of land? Or is it the Du family? Gui Qiu's eyes widened when he heard the reason why Gui Chongyang entered Xiji Town today.

Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "It's also a coincidence." Who would have thought that it was the housekeeper of the Zhang family's in-laws who threatened the Du family to sell the land before, and the Du family was afraid that the Zhang family would hold a grudge, so they offered to sell six hectares of land, but it was cheaper for me. ”

Gui Qiu still smacked his tongue: "Just let it go?" That's 600 acres of land, that's a lot. ”

Gui Wu took a sip of tea and said: "In ordinary people's homes, 600 acres of land is a big industry, but for the Zhang family, which is a relative of the emperor, 600 acres of land is nothing? ”

The term "imperial relatives", Gui Chongyang heard it several times today, and couldn't help but wonder: "Even if it is related to the royal family, shouldn't it be the Xu family?" The Zhang family is a cousin of the Xu family, and they have turned a corner with the royal family, how can they be called 'royal relatives'? ”

Gui Wu glanced at Gui Chongyang and said: "There is not only one royal family, the queen's maiden family is the emperor's relatives, and the princess's maiden family is naturally also the emperor's relatives!" This Zhang family is the maiden family of the crown princess. ”

Gui Chongyang suddenly realized: "Is this the cousin who talks about it like this?" No wonder I saw that Senior Brother Xu and Brother Zhang were not as close as cousins, and Brother Zhang's attitude was too respectful. ”

Gui Wu put down the teacup and said: "Chongyang, since the relationship between this senior brother and brother is discussed by your father, you can control the proportion yourself." It's just that we are ordinary people after all, and everything is fine now, and tomorrow we can't afford to be annoyed. ”

Gui Chongyang got up and listened, nodded and said, "Fifth uncle, don't worry, my nephew doesn't have the heart to cling." ”

Gui Wu's expression turned back and said, "That's good, it's better to ask for others than for yourself." ”

Gui Chongyang understands this truth.

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Gui Qiu interrupted: "Du Li is afraid that he is going to die of anger!" Haha, it's a joy to think about! Even the people in the village have to weigh the weight of the Gui family! ”

Du Jiaming's land is 800 acres, the largest landlord in the village; followed by the Lin family, which also has more than 500 acres of land.

Now the Du family has transferred six hectares of land to the Gui family's house, and the land under Gui Chongyang's name is six hectares and ten acres, surpassing the Du and Lin families and becoming the big landlord in the village.

Not to mention anything else, the villagers who used to occupy the land of the Du family will become tenants of the Gui family in the future, and among them, naturally, some people from "Donggui" are also included.

Mujia Village, Du family upper house.

The Li family was dumbfounded, and after a while, Fang said: "That land, it turned out to be bought by the Gui family?" How is that possible, that's 600 acres? Where did the Gui family have so much silver? ”

Duri was pointing to the box containing the gold cakes: "The gold is here, what's impossible?" The Gui family has no silver, but who dares not sell it if the county lord personally takes the silver pad? ”

Li was still puzzled: "The old man in the south? Gui Si's nest of temperament, can he still catch such a character? ”

Du Li is also full of curiosity, who knows if the Gui family will think that they have relied on the Du family. He thought about it, beckoned his son to come to him, and said, "If you are not happy to go to the county school, Ming'er will go to the village school to study." Gui Chongyang, don't be alienated. ”

Du Qi was not overjoyed, but said, "Dad, can our two families really reconcile?" If he can't reconcile, his son should stay away from him! ”

Even if it is a small partner who has invested in the deed, it is not as close as his father and mother.

Du Li Zheng was very relieved, but said with a smile: "The two families are just some small differences, how can they not be reconciled?" If it was really an enemy of life and death, Dad would not have sold six acres of land like this. You are a child, don't worry about this, Gui Chongyang is a person who knows how to read and improve, you can follow him closer, and you can also see the sages and thinkers. ”

Du Qi nodded in response, but in the end there was a little less expectation.
