Chapter 69: Goodbye

Early the next morning, Jiang Long went to see Mrs. Jing first after washing.

When Mrs. Jing heard that Jiang Long was going to live on the farm for a few days, she thought about it and didn't say anything against it, but just told him to bring more guards and pay attention to safety when he left the house.

Jiang Long promised again and again that he had breakfast in Mrs. Jing's small courtyard, and he said goodbye.

By the time he returned to the small courtyard, the Hu steward, dressed in a coarse linen shirt and with mud on his pants, had already rushed over, saying that he had come to lead Jiang Long on the orders of Zhang Jiang's family.

The jade hairpin vase commanded the more powerful mother-in-law in the house to carry the luggage to the car.

"That farm at the foot of Wushi Mountain was taken care of by you before?" Jiang Long glanced at the disheveled and gray-faced butler, frowned lightly and asked.

I'm the little master of Jingfu anyway, and this person didn't even tidy up when he came to see him?

The steward was short and fat, with a fat belly, and bent down and replied, "Yes, the small one is the head of the farm in Wushi Town. ”

"How long have you been the head of the bank?" Jiang Long asked again.

"Back to the little master, it's been more than eight years."

"Eight years? That's not a short time, presumably under the care of the Hu manager, the yield of that farm must be very high, right? Jiang Long glanced at the pretending poor dress of the housekeeper.

The steward hurriedly waved his hand in a panic, "The little young master overestimates the small one, and the little young master, you don't know the actual situation of that farm." ”

"Okay, tell me about it now."

"Yes!"

Steward Hu lowered his head, his eyes turned slightly as he stared at the ground under his feet, and replied: "The small managed farm is one of the three low-yield farms in our house, with a total of 41,000 acres of land, but only 8,000 acres of fertile land.

11,000 acres of second-class fields.

Sha Tin is the largest, with 22,000 acres.

Little master, you haven't planted the land with your own hands, so you don't know that Sha Tin is almost unproductive.

It is often a pity not to plant barren, but after sowing seeds, the emergence rate is extremely low, and even if the seeds germinate and grow, the plants are much lower than similar normal crops, and they are prone to pests and diseases.

Over the course of a year, there was almost no harvest in these sand fields. ”

"Well, Sha Tin is indeed difficult to serve."

Jiang Long nodded in agreement, but then his voice turned cold, "But it's normal to have no harvest in one year and two years, and no harvest in three or four years, but you have been taking care of that farm for eight years, there were 22,000 mu of sand fields before, and there are still 22,000 mu of sand fields, and similarly, these sand fields are still not harvested, which is a bit too much, right?" ”

Generally, the sand fields are newly cultivated land, but as long as they are carefully served for a few years, watered and fertilized, the soil will gradually become fertile, and if the water resources are sufficient, it is possible to plant it in eight years to become fertile land.

The cold sweat on Steward Hu's forehead seeped out instantly.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.

Although he stayed in the Zhuangzi and did not live in the mansion, he had also heard of his own young master, and yesterday Zhang Jiang's family specially asked him to enter the mansion and told him that Jianglong did not distinguish between grains at all, let alone know how to grow crops.

Therefore, even if he heard Jiang Long's words, even if he was nervous, he didn't believe that Jiang Long really knew how to farm.

But even if Jiang Long is a layman, these words really stopped him.

Eight years ago, 22,000 acres of sand fields are still 22,000 acres of sand fields?

Naturally not!

Otherwise, he would be too incompetent.

But he can't say that there are only more than 7,000 acres left in Sha Tin today.

The reason for this is nothing more than the sand fields planted by tenants, and after the autumn harvest, the farmers almost do not have to hand over grain to Jingfu, which is equivalent to white seeds.

There was no haode to talk to fool Jiang Long, and the caretaker was afraid of saying too much and making too many mistakes, so he simply lowered his head and kept silent.

Jiang Long didn't seem to see Steward Hu raise his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't seem to care that Steward Hu didn't reply, and stood there quietly watching the mother-in-law move their luggage back and forth to the carriage.

Although they only went to the farm to live for a few days, in addition to changing their clothes and brocade quilts, the jade hairpin and the treasure vase were also prepared to bring many porcelain vases, furniture, screens, and even two sets of mahogany tables and chairs carved with delicate patterns.

I knew that I was just going to live in a farm not far from Jingfu, and I didn't know that I thought I was going to move.

However, Jiang Long did not open his mouth to stop it.

Some people say that wealth cannot last for three generations, which means that wealth cannot last long.

It is also said that a rich and noble family can produce a nobleman after three generations.

What is an aristocracy?

It is necessary not only to have strong wealth assets and a certain economic status, but also to have a high enough demeanor and cultivation.

There is no doubt that the Jing family is a real aristocratic family.

And if you want to reflect the aristocratic style, these antique porcelain and luxury furniture items used to decorate the face are absolutely indispensable.

After waiting for a while, the sun rose and a bamboo pole was high, and the mother-in-law finally loaded all the items prepared by the jade hairpin into the carriage.

"After leaving the house, Hu Guan will lead the way."

Jiang Long dropped a sentence and walked to the door of the mansion with the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle.

Steward Hu saw that Jiang Long treated him very coldly, and he was apprehensive for a while, but this time not only did Zhang Jiang's make him embarrassed Jiang Long, it was best to let Jiang Long dispel his interest in managing the farm, and he himself was also greedy for ink on weekdays, and there was no way out.

So I still made up my mind, and I must find a way to drive Jiang Long back.

Gritting his teeth tightly, Steward Hu trotted behind Jiang Long and the others.

Outside the gate of the mansion, fifty Jingfu guards with their heads held high, led by the deputy captain Jiang Jun, pressed the hilt of the knife on their waists with their hands on their waists, and stood upright around several carriages.

Qin Yu, Tudu, Guntibak, Sang Spider, and the striker are also already waiting here.

When Jiang Long and the Jade Hairpin Vase walked to the gate of the mansion, they happened to meet Lin Ya, who came with Du Juan.

After a few days of recuperation, Du Juan has returned to Lin Ya's side to serve, and the two maids who were temporarily sent to take care of Lin Ya have not been transferred.

It wasn't until Lin Ya filled up the maid rings in the small courtyard that the two maid rings would leave.

Seeing Jiang Long, Lin Yamei's eyes were shining, but seeing that the other party just stretched out his hand with a calm face and signaled her to get into the carriage, she could only endure not to come forward to say hello.

Today's Lin Ya has changed her light makeup and dress in the past, not only the dress is gorgeous, but there is also a pure gold step shake inserted between the green silk coiled high on her head, and as she walks, the step shake makes a crisp and pleasant sound.

Du Juan lifted the curtain of the car, and Lin Ya couldn't help but glance back at Jiang Long when she got into the car.

It happened to meet Jiang Long's gaze in the air.

Suddenly, Lin Ya saw Jiang Long smiling at herself, her heart jumped, and she hurriedly escaped into the carriage.

"What's wrong?" Du Juan didn't see Jiang Long's smiling face.

Lin Ya's face was hot, she lowered her head, and said softly, "It's nothing." ”

Du Juan couldn't see Lin Ya's gentle appearance as much as water, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she suddenly lowered her voice and said coldly: "A mother-in-law came to me this morning, saying that the Lin family sent her over!" ”

"What?"

Lin Ya, who was thinking about Jiang Long's smiling face, was shocked, and instantly sobered up from her little daughter's mentality.

Seeing Lin Ya's reaction, Du Juan was very satisfied, "She said that it was sent by several masters of the Lin family, but there is no evidence, so don't be too nervous." The next time Zaijian arrives, I'll try her first to find out if what she said is true or not. ”

Lin Ya didn't listen to her persuasion, and her willow eyebrows frowned tightly.

Shui Lan is dead, and the Lin family will definitely send someone over to replenish it, but the Lin family is far away from the capital, and it has only been a few days, and it is estimated that the news sent by Du Juan has just reached the hands of several masters of the Lin family.

So if this mother-in-law really exists, she should have come with her when she got married.

She wouldn't see the strangeness of Shui Lan's death, would she?

Originally, Lin Ya was very happy to be able to go to the farm with Jiang Long this time, but now that she heard the news, she was no longer in a cheerful mood.

Jiang Long Zuihou climbed into the carriage, and the convoy began to start slowly.

Only Yu Hai sat in the carriage with the treasure bottle and Jiang Long, and Qin Yu and the others were all walking on foot, guarding the carriage.

Because it had only been a few days since Jiang Long was attacked last time, the Jingfu guards were all in good spirits and cautiously watched around while walking to see if there was anything abnormal.

The inside of the car is covered with thick mattresses, so even though the body is shaking, the people in the car do not feel bumpy.

The carriage walked away for a while, and the vase was bored, so he blinked his eyes and proposed, "Little master, why don't you tell the slaves and maids a story about the Pleasant Goat and the Big Big Wolf." ”

"Yes, yes." Yu Hai hugged the gray wolf that belonged to him and opened his mouth to echo.

Jiang Long ignored the dodge of the vase, lay down on his back, pillowed his head on a pair of thighs of the vase, pulled over a brocade quilt to cover his body, and agreed with a smile, "...... Lady, don't worry, I will definitely be able to catch a sheep this time......"

“haha。”

"I didn't catch any sheep."

After listening to it for a while, at the climax of the story of this episode, both the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle laughed out loud.

In Zuihou, "Damn Pleasant Goat, I will definitely come back!" In the closing remarks, the story of this episode is also finished.

The second daughter wanted to listen to another episode, but the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Long lifted the brocade quilt on his body, sat up quickly and asked.

"Little young master, there are a few young people blocking the road in front, and one of them is the chai boy from the Chengguo Mansion." Jiang Jun replied respectfully outside the car.

Oh?

Jiang Long lifted the curtain of the carriage and found that the convoy had left the county seat, so he jumped out of the carriage lightly.

"Brother Jianglong, long time no see." Just saw Jiang Long's figure, and a young man in a crescent white robe in the distance bowed his hand.

"This is Chai Shirong Chai Gongzi on the Chengguo Mansion." Jiang Jun knew that Jiang Long didn't recognize the other party, so he reminded in a low voice.

Speaking of which, the original body had only met Chai Shirong two or three times before, and he had not communicated at all.

However, Jiang Long is not a young man, in his previous life, as a liar, his ability to communicate with strangers is definitely not bad, people have said hello, even if he is not familiar with him, he is very enthusiastic to greet him, and before he approached, he was already arched and smiled: "Brother Chai is a busy man, although the younger brother has always had the heart to make friends, but he is embarrassed to come to the door." ”

"Haha, to be able to make friends with Brother Xian, Shirong can't ask for it." Chai Shirong hahadaxiao.

At this time, a young man in Xuanyi who was standing next to Chai Shirong clenched his fists and opened his mouth, "Master Jing, we meet again." ”

Hearing the young man's voice, Jiang Long immediately recognized it, "It turned out to be you." ”

The young man in Xuanyi looked handsome, but he just nodded with a cold expression, as if he didn't have a good impression of Jiang Long, and then pointed to a few big men around him who were either fierce or strong-looking, and said: "These friends of mine are Jianghu rangers, and this time thanks to Jing Gongzi's rescue, I can wash away the injustice, and I specially brought them over today to thank Jing Gongzi." ”
