Chapter 160: The Water of the River Is Not Obtained

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had a pleasant conversation with the old man here.

When Steward Zhang knew that the little boy asked him to go to Chen's Zhuangzi to talk about things, he hurriedly ate something and rushed over, and when he arrived at the place, he saw that sure enough, the small river leading to Yuan's Zhuangzi was blocked, and some sacks were filled with stone and sand, and thrown to the place where the water came out.

Seeing that the river water couldn't flow over there at all, Steward Zhang was anxious, spring plowing began, and they were all paddy fields, what else to plant if there was no water?

Hurriedly knocked on the door of the Chen family Zhuangzi, the Chen family Zhuangzi has no official position, he is a businessman who does business, just looking at the tall door can make Steward Zhang feel a breath of gold and silver.

As the door was opened from the inside, a head came out of the small crack, looked around, and finally stopped at Steward Zhang's body and asked, "What are you doing?" Which one to look for? ”

"This little brother is invited, I am the housekeeper of the Zhangjia Zhuangzi family in Tuqiao Village, I want to discuss some things with your master, and I also ask the little brother to help spread the word."

Steward Zhang straightened his chest and said to the people inside the door.

"Tuqiao Village? Which village? Zhangjia Zhuangzi? I don't know, the master is busy, I don't have time, let's come back tomorrow. The doorkeeper threw down a sentence and slammed the door shut again.

Steward Zhang was stunned in the local area, looking at the closed gate, and didn't react for a while, I don't know the Zhangjia Zhuangzi of Tuqiao Village? Who believes it, it's not far away, you don't know whose water is blocked in your house?

After hesitating for a moment, Steward Zhang took out twenty coins from the pocket in his sleeve, counted them in his hand, and knocked on the door again.

"I said what's the matter with you, I told you that the master is not available, why are you still knocking? It's better to think more about how to do things, such a big person, not sensible. ”

As he spoke, he was about to close the door again, and Steward Zhang hurriedly said: "This little brother, I do have something important to discuss with your master, and I will buy you a bowl of tea to drink." ”

Steward Zhang handed over the money as he spoke, the eyes of the person who opened the door suddenly became bigger, his expression changed, he reached out and took the money, and said: "Oh, it turned out to be Steward Zhang of the Zhangjia Zhuangzi family in Tuqiao Village. ”

The same as the closed door, the person who opened the door turned around and ran inside, Steward Zhang could hear the footsteps, pouted, and muttered: "This is the gatehouse, wait, don't expect to make a fortune, the doorman of Zhang's Zhuangzi dares to do this, and his legs are discounted." ”

After waiting for a while, I heard the footsteps inside, and as the door was opened, a person came out of it, looked at Steward Zhang, the two looked at each other, and Steward Zhang said first: "May I ask if you are the head of the Chen family?" ”

"I'm the housekeeper of the Chen family, my lord has something to do, and I can't come out, so just say anything I have to say." The person who came out didn't mean to let Steward Zhang in, so he blocked the door and said.

Steward Zhang felt uncomfortable for a while, what is this called, there is no even the most basic etiquette, could it be that he can't even afford the money for a bowl of tea?

Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Steward Zhang pointed back, it was the place of the river, and said: "Spring ploughing, I want to use some water, I didn't know that the river was taken from Guizhuang, after this was broken, I came to check and found that I hope Guizhuang can look at the neighbors and move the things that are blocked, and the Zhang family will be grateful in the future." ”

"What river? Oh, the ditch you said used to be connected by the Yuan family, oops, this is difficult to do, this year's rain is insufficient, I don't know if the water in my field is enough, if it is dug up, what should my own village do, it is better for Steward Zhang to go back and think of some other ways, ah, here is nothing to help. ”

Steward Chen didn't have any expression on his face when he spoke, and directly refused to give water.

Steward Zhang naturally won't believe it, what kind of rain is insufficient, and I don't know how much water there is on the other side of the river, otherwise what river will be expanded, thinking in his heart, but he can't say it directly.

"Steward Chen invited, don't mention him about the rain first, Zhangjia Zhuangzi is willing to pay, release the water for a day, pay 100 wen, I don't know if it's okay?"

Steward Chen listened to Steward Zhang's words, turned his head to look to the side, and was noncommittal.

"One hundred and fifty dollars a day, how?" Steward Zhang added some money, there is a lot of land over there, and one hundred and fifty yuan is not much.

Steward Chen was still silent, and Steward Zhang had to raise the price again, "Two hundred wen a day, if it is more, it is better to dig a catty well." ”

At this time, Steward Chen said, "It's good to dig a well, it's convenient to use water, even if the rain is less, don't worry, Steward Zhang's method is good, if there is a shortage of manpower to dig a well, Chen's Zhuangzi can let people go over to help, and the daily salary can be given as usual, and the food wants to come to Zhangjia Zhuangzi will give it to the Zhuanghu according to the past." ”

Steward Zhang knew that people just didn't agree, so he pondered it and tried hard again, "Steward Chen, in the future, the Zhuangzi of the Zhang and Chen families will be connected, who doesn't have a problem?" If there is something wrong with the Chen family, the Zhang family will naturally not stand idly by. ”

"Don't, don't, the Chen family is really in trouble, your Zhang family must stand by and watch, don't have anything to do with the Chen family, the Chen family doesn't have the ability of the Han and Yuan families, they can't afford to lose, and they can't find anyone to go to Beijing to dredge, your Zhang family Zhuangzi will let the Chen family go, Ming'er will let people plant some thorns between the two Zhuangzi, and the Zhuangzi will not be connected in the future."

Steward Chen sneered, said there, and arched his hand to Steward Zhang.

Steward Zhang understood, this Chen family Zhuangzi is either related to those two Zhuangzi, or it is deliberately like this, isn't your Zhang family powerful, I don't care about you, I just don't give you water, let you know who is powerful.

In addition to these two points, Steward Zhang really can't think of any other reason, if it is said that Zhang's Zhuangzi harmed the Han and Yuan families, as long as they are not fools, they understand that it is not right at all, it is the Han and Yuan families who harm people.

Steward Zhang lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his head and was about to speak, but saw that Steward Chen had already turned around and entered, and the door was slammed shut.

Steward Zhang stood at the door for a while, and finally there was no way, he sighed helplessly, turned back, and talked to the little boy to see what the little boy was going to do.

When Steward Zhang came to the water cloud room dejectedly, Zhang Xiaobao and several children were learning things from the old man, and as they were learning, they saw Steward Zhang coming.

The old man also saw the expression on Steward Zhang's face, and stopped what he was saying.

"What's wrong with Steward Zhang? Is it that there is no water over there anyway? Say the original words, everyone listen, don't worry. Zhang Xiaobao understood as soon as he saw Steward Zhang's appearance, and comforted him.

Steward Zhang sat down on the stool and told everything about the things over there, including what he thought, how he said, what the other party was, and didn't add anything that shouldn't have been, he knew that the little boy didn't want to listen to those things that had changed.

"Oh, I see, this is to break hands with my Zhang family, if you don't give water, you won't give it, why say those sarcastic words? They don't seem to have anything to do with the other two, and the same with the Wen County Order, otherwise how dare a merchant talk to Steward Zhang like this after those three people were arrested.

Since this is the case, then forget it, spend more money and strength, go to the river from the Li family, we are higher there, then dig deeper, plant thorns and let them plant, if they are willing to plant in their own land, then plant, half of the family will also promise them, and in the future, we will return to the bridge with them, and the road will return to the road, and our well water will not violate the river water.

I have wronged Steward Zhang today, and the main family should have taken action to help Steward Zhang out, but the matter is still too small, and it is not worth becoming an enemy of life and death. ”

After listening to what Steward Zhang said, Zhang Xiaobao pondered for a while, and gave this a given, there is no deep hatred, it can't be a thunder attack right away, if it continues to develop like this, there will be more enemies in the future.

"With the words of the little boy, I won't be wronged, I believe that the little boy will find it back for me one day, then I will arrange for someone to dig a ditch now." Steward Zhang heard that the little boy had told him about it alone, and he felt much better.

That is, now, there are fewer grievances in the past, and Zhuangzi can't do it, so what can I do? I had to endure it, isn't this what the housekeeper does, he has carried it, he has been guilty, and he has been wronged again.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, didn't say anything more, he didn't feel comfortable at all, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, the Chen family Zhuangzi didn't give any face, and there were more people under Steward Zhang's than the Chen family.

Don't do anything excessive, don't do it in my hands, otherwise, it will definitely not make your Chen family happy.

Zhang Xiaobao knocked his face with his hand, thinking sullenly there, Wang Juan saw it next to him, and began to mourn for the Chen family, Zhang Xiaobao's character has always been like this, tooth for tooth, blood for blood, and revenge is even worse, if you slap me, I will return the knife to you.

The old man didn't want to care about this kind of thing, and when he saw Steward Zhang leaving, he continued to talk about it, the old man's knowledge was much higher than that of Zhang's father, which benefited the children who listened a lot, and even his granddaughter Xin'er could understand part of it.

She just doesn't want to get too far away from others.

Zhang Xiaobao is not the kind of person who keeps thinking about something when he encounters something and thus affects other things, after Steward Zhang's affairs passed, he put all his mind on studying, and didn't think about it at all.

The old man was even more surprised now, Mo said that he was a child, but how many adults could do Zhang Xiaobao's level? This calmness is the rarest, and I said hello to Zhang Xiaobao in my heart.
