Chapter Ninety-Nine: Suspicion

Coming to the main hall, Jiang Long sat on the main seat, and Yu Hai served tea.

At noon, Jiang Long's face was cold and angry, so Zheng Zhi and Yang Qiang were both cautious at the moment.

"Sit down." Jiang Long pointed to the chair.

"Don't dare." Zheng Zhi panicked.

Yang Qiang also bent down and said respectfully: "It's good for the little one to stand and talk back." ”

Jiang Long took a sip of the teacup, and did not force them to sit down.

These two people have a strong utilitarian sense and are more careful, and they have to beat one or two when they should be beaten, otherwise if they don't cooperate with Tian Dazhuang in order to fight for power and profit, Tian Dazhuang really can't subdue the two of them, Jiang Long can't stay in this farm all the time, and the farm will inevitably become a mess at that time.

"Yang Qiang, let's talk first."

"Yes."

Yang Qiang hurriedly took a step forward and replied: "I heard that I can borrow food from the house today, and the big guy is more enthusiastic about doing his work, and it is estimated that the small one will be able to build the wall the day after tomorrow, but looking at the current momentum, it should be completed tomorrow evening."

The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, put a beam on the top of the cow pen and sheep pen, and then light a fire and smoke it for a day, dry the wall, and catch up with the moisture It should be ready to use. ”

"Hmm." Jiang Long is still quite satisfied with this speed.

"The little one went to check on the houses that needed to be repaired, and the statistics showed that the walls of the forty-two houses were more or less cracked, or the roofs were leaking." Seeing that Jiang Long's expression was soothed, he should be quite satisfied, Yang Qiang quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The weather hasn't really warmed up these days, so we need to repair the walls as soon as possible."

Jiang Long took another sip of tea, thought about it, and said, "In this way, you first take someone to repair the wall of the tenant farmer's house with old people at home, and then go to help after the rest is built up in the circle." ”

"Yes." Yang Qiang should go down.

Jiang Long looked at Zheng Zhi, "Now you can report it." ”

Zheng Zhi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and the strange patterns and crooked marks on it were estimated that only he could understand them, and began to report in detail.

Jiang Long was a little glad to hear this.

Fortunately, Guo's wife was the first to faint, so that she found out early that many tenant farmers were short of food.

Otherwise, if every family is hungry and forced to work and plough the land, not only will the efficiency be very low, but it is also possible that some elderly people and children will lose their health and die of illness because they have been hungry for a long time.

When that happens, it's too late.

"Now that many people are borrowing food from Steward Li, do you want to go over and take a look?" Zheng Zhi is more shrewd, and he has a lot of eyes, so he said cleverly.

Jiang Long didn't want to go over, otherwise the tenant farmers would thank him and kowtow when they saw him.

But at this time, Tian Dazhuang's loud voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Little master, the big guy is grateful for your life-saving grace of borrowing money and food, and wants to come over and kowtow to you." ”

Jiang Long hurriedly got up and walked out of the main hall quickly.

Immediately, I saw a large group of tenant farmers kneeling in the small courtyard with cloth bags containing grain in their hands, and happy smiles on their faces.

"Hurry up, it's cold underground."

Jiang Long hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal everyone to get up, and then scolded Tian Dazhuang with a straight face: "The big guys are all hard and tired for a busy day, don't you advise everyone to go back and rest early?" ”

"The little ones can't be persuaded either." Tian Dazhuang hurriedly said: "The big guy has to come and kowtow to you." ”

"Little Master Xiexie!"

"There are no more food left in the small family, and the little master lends us food, which is a great grace to save lives!"

"yes, but how can you kowtow?"

"The interest is still so low, and the little master is our reborn parent."

"Little Master Bodhisattva heart, in the future, we will definitely be able to restore the former glory of our Jingfu!"

The tenant farmers were excited, and you and I were going to talk about it.

Jiang Long looked at these people who could be easily satisfied, but were very simple and lovely, and his hands hidden in his sleeves gradually clenched.

It has strengthened the determination to do business as soon as possible and let them get rich as soon as possible.

After the tenant farmers kowtowed, they left one after another, saying that they could not disturb Jiang Long's eating and resting.

After all the tenant farmers walked out of the small courtyard, Steward Li stepped forward with a dark face, "Little young master, the interest you promised is too low, right?" ”

There was an unusual dissatisfaction in his voice.

Jiang Long knew that Steward Li would have opinions, so he only said in person that he would charge interest, but he didn't say how much interest he would charge.

Otherwise, if he said it at that time, he would have had a dispute.

If Steward Li marries himself, it will be difficult to be convinced.

After all, in the eyes of Steward Li, silver money is above all else.

In Steward Li's view, borrowing grain from tenant farmers is already a great kindness, and it is reasonable to collect high interest.

Jiang Long didn't want to reason with Steward Li, he knew that he was not convinced, and he didn't have so much energy to accompany Steward Li.

So he just spread his hands and said, "The words have already been spoken, you can't let me take it back, right?" ”

"This ......," Steward Li was sullen for a while.

Jiang Long, as the young master of Jingfu, this is the first time to manage the farm, no matter whether the matter can be done in the end or not, but he must establish his prestige.

Naturally, you can't go back on your word, and your words don't count.

Jiang Long gave Tian Dazhuang a look at this time, and Tian Dazhuang hurriedly pulled Steward Li out, "There may be someone borrowing grain from this meeting, let's go to the granary and take a look." ”

Steward Li was unwillingly dragged away.

The treasure bottle took the manuscript paper, and happily came to the door of the small courtyard where Lin Ya lived temporarily, because there were fruit trees planted in the small courtyard, and the branches were relatively dense, which could block people's vision, so after she stepped into the courtyard gate and walked a few steps, the two people inside who were whispering and biting their ears saw her figure.

One was a gray-haired mother-in-law, who looked flustered when she suddenly saw her.

He bowed his knees and did not speak, but left in a hurry.

The other is the dowry girl Du Juan brought by Lin Ya.

The smile on Du Juan's face was also a little unnatural, she took a few steps forward and took the initiative to speak: "Sister Aquarius is here." ”

"Hmm." The treasure bottle looked at Du Juan, and then turned around suspiciously and glanced at the back of the mother-in-law who had already walked to the gate of the courtyard.

Du Juan chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the elbow of the treasure bottle and took it into the house, while speaking, "Sister is here to find the young lady, right?" ”

"The little young master asked me to send this over to the young lady."

The vase withdrew his gaze and casually raised the paper in his hand.

"What is this?" Du Juan guessed: "Is it the story of the gray wolf and the pleasant goat?" ”

Jiang Long had already sent Lin Ya several manuscripts with the story of the Big Big Wolf and the Pleasant Goat, so Du Juan had already known about it, and asked Lin Ya to read it to herself, and she was already addicted to it.

"No, it's a new story." When it comes to this mythological novel, the vase is distracted, and his eyes are shining, "This story is even better than the gray wolf." ”

"Really?"

Du Juan's eyes rolled, "Then I will stay next to the young lady when she reads, so that I can listen to it." ”

"Make sure you're addicted." The vase looked proud, as if she had written the story.

"Sister Aquarius is so sure, my sister naturally believes it." Du Juan first echoed, then coughed lightly, and said casually: "I asked the mother-in-law just now to go to the nearby town to buy some small things, her feet are too slow, and it is almost dark this day, so she sent it to me." ”

"Oh." The vase replied indifferently.

"Did my sister hear what I said to that woman just now?" A sharp light suddenly flashed in Du Juan's eyes.

The vase was just a little confused, Du Juan and that mother-in-law weishenme were a little sneaky.

Didn't take it to heart either.

But now Du Juan has been tempted one after another, which has made her fall in love.

After all, she grew up in a wealthy family like Jingfu, and although the treasure bottle is lively and innocent, it doesn't mean that she has no scheming.

"No, I don't know what Sister Du Juan asked that mother-in-law to buy in the town?"

The vase looked innocent, but it was actually silent in his heart.

"Don't mention it, let her help buy a few novel gadgets, but I didn't expect ......" Speaking of this, Du Juan quickly rolled down her sleeves, faintly revealing a red thread rope tied to her wrist, and said angrily: "She bought me such a thing, it's really infuriating!" ”

"What kind of trinkets does my sister want to buy, she should ask someone to buy them in the famous silver building in the capital or a grocery store, what are the new and interesting gadgets in this town?" Although the treasure bottle had a smiling expression on her face, her eyes were sharp, and when Du Juan lifted her sleeves, she saw a small bag hanging on the red line.

I thought for a while, what was in the bag?

The two chatted as they walked to the door of the main hall.

Du Juan first raised her voice to ask for instructions, and when she heard Lin Ya let her in, she raised her hand and lifted the door curtain, "Sister Aquarius, please come in." ”

"Sister Du Juan is polite." The vase nodded first, and then stepped into the threshold.

Lin Ya had already stood up from the chair and greeted her, the treasure bottle was a personal big girl ring by Jiang Long's side, and she grew up with Jiang Long since childhood, she was not a natural pair of golden boys and girls, but it can also be said that they are two little childhood sweethearts, and their feelings are naturally different from other girl rings.

Even if she is a young lady, she doesn't dare to underestimate it, and she must give some face.

"Young lady, please take a seat." The vase is not the kind of person who likes to play music, so he immediately walked a few steps quickly, grabbed Lin Ya's elbow, and helped Lin Ya to sit back again.

Although Lin Ya had met with the treasure bottle several times before, she had not really dealt with each other yet.

At the earliest, Bao Vase and Jade Hairpin also pointed out that she vomited Jiang Long's blood angrily.

Originally, I didn't have a good impression of the treasure bottle.,And a little wary.。

But at this time, seeing that the vase was very respectful to himself, with a pair of black apricot eyes, the eyes were also very clean and pure, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of the vase.

"You sit too." Lin Ya said.

The vase excused himself a few times, and then sat down with him.

"This time, the slave maid is instructed by the little young master to take these papers to the young lady."

Lin Ya's beautiful eyes lit up, "Is it the story of the gray wolf and the pleasant goat?" ”

"No, it's a mythical story, but it's good......" The Aquarius opened his mouth to tell it happily, but it was told with a beginning and no end, and the storyline was all disrupted.

But even so, when they heard that the stone was actually pregnant, and a monkey popped out, Lin Ya and Du Juan were also attracted by the story.
