Chapter 121: The Chen Family's Estate
Father Chen was present, and the atmosphere at the banquet was very lively, and Yu Hua couldn't stop these people who persuaded him to drink.
Moreover, when he got to this wine table, he realized that not all wine in this world is like happy water.
After three glasses and two glasses, he was also drunk in a daze.
Because of the return of Yu Hua and the others, the entire Chaiyun County has been a lot more lively.
The banquet lasted for a long time, and the entire Chaiyun County was brightly lit.
Yu Hua didn't know how he got back to his residence, but when he woke up, he found that it was already dark, and he was lying on a beautiful bed.
"Where am I?"
He woke up and looked around, and found that the surroundings were simple but not shabby.
It didn't seem to be a makeshift room, but he looked around and didn't find anything unique.
There were no personal belongings in the room, but it looked like it was supposed to be a man's room.
After thinking about it, he didn't have a clue, and he didn't think about it anymore.
Walking to the door, he opened it.
"Uncle?"
The person who came was a maid, Yu Hua took a look, he didn't know it.
The maid Xiaoxuan saw Yu Hua walk out of the door, and greeted her with joy, she couldn't help but look at her.
Although Yu Hua entered Beijing to study, it has only been half a year now, but he was just a martial artist when he left, and now he is back with an official position.
The difference between this is not small, if you want to say that his status in the Chen family in the past can only be regarded as an uncle, then now he is a big man who has come back from the capital.
She looked at it curiously.
"Uncle, wake up, I'll go and ask Miss to come over. ”
didn't dare to cast too many eyes, Xiao Xuan lowered her head again and again, and ran to find Chen Xichu.
Soon, Chen Xichu came back, her dress today was a little different from the past, and when she returned to her hometown, she seemed to have a bit of the momentum of the landlord's daughter.
Yu Lang woke up. ”
Yu Hua nodded, and then cast a questioning look.
After Chen Xichu's explanation, he finally understood that this was where the Chen family was located, and the room he was in just now was where he used to live.
Chen Xichu was a little strange that he didn't have the slightest memory of him, but he didn't care much about it.
After all, after a few months of life in the capital, she has a deep understanding of Yu Hua, who has become smarter, and she doesn't care about these details.
On the contrary, the two maids who have been living here, Xiaoxuan and Xiaoya, the two of them saw Yu Hua's strange behavior and stood in a remote corner and discussed in a whisper.
"Isn't my uncle a little different from before, he doesn't seem to remember the past. ”
"Yes, and the temperament is different from before, as if he has changed a person. ”
"I heard the master say that my uncle suddenly became smart because of his martial arts practice. ”
The two maids chattered and discussed.
In the distance, the conversation between Chen Xichu and Yu Hua had also ended.
Although he returned to the place, he no longer had the identity of a martial artist, but there was no easy reason for this, after all, working hard to improve his strength was what every martial artist should do.
One day he will return to the capital, if even Ji Yuan's strength is stronger than him, isn't it very shameless?
Thinking like this, he asked Chen Xichu to accompany him, came to the courtyard, and began to practice martial arts.
Nice view from the yard, a rockery in the middle and a small pond underneath.
Before he arrived in the capital, this was the place where Yu Hua practiced martial arts, and whenever he practiced martial arts, Chen Xichu always sat on the stone bench by the pond and watched quietly.
Now it is no exception, Yu Hua tried the alchemy technique over and over again, while Chen Xichu watched blankly with a blank face.
"Uncle, it's time for breakfast. ”
Two maids came up and invited them to breakfast.
The Chen family's breakfast was quite rich, in fact, it was better than what he ate in the capital.
This may be the performance of a rich man!
After breakfast, Yu Hua wandered around the courtyard.
I saw two little girls who were in the middle of cardamom, and they walked all the way laughing.
The position where Yu Hua was standing was not obvious, and it was not until they walked in front of them that they noticed Yu Hua's presence.
"Uncle. ”
The two were startled and hurriedly saluted.
Yu Hua didn't care, he smiled and gestured.
The two bowed their heads and hurriedly left, until they were far away, and one of them patted his chest and exhaled, "I was really scared to death, I didn't expect to see my uncle." ”
"That's my uncle, we haven't seen it before, he's so handsome!"
As a martial artist, his physical fitness has been improved in an all-round way, and the whispers of the two of them were heard in Yu Hua's ears word for word.
Are you handsome?
He thought about it, but he didn't think so, he was also a person who looked in the mirror, and he still had self-knowledge of what he looked like.
Just smiling and shaking his head, he continued on his way.
The courtyard of the Chen family is very large, and there are many houses, and the place where they live is located in the center of the courtyard.
Yu Hua walked over and noticed him approaching, and the family members turned around one after another.
"Uncle. ”
"What are you doing?"
Now that he has seen it, he naturally wants to ask, this is the Chen family's family business, and to a certain extent, this is also his family business.
Besides, his strength is in the realm of martial artists, and his physical strength is much stronger than that of these families, so maybe he can help.
"My aunt and young lady are back, some decorations and furniture need to be moved, and we are moving things. ”
Yu Hua nodded, and asked again, "Is there anything you need my help with?"
Those family members waved their hands again and again: "No, no, let's come, uncle, you better go and do other things!"
Hearing that Yu Hua wanted to help, they were all surprised, they were just members of the Chen family, and they should do these chores.
After glancing at it, he saw that these things that needed to be carried were not much, so he nodded and continued to walk forward.
A gust of wind blew, and a small discussion could be heard behind him.
"I didn't expect my uncle to be so good to us, it seems that we will have a better life in the future. ”
"Yes, my uncle who came back from the capital is just different from us. ”
"The master's vision is really good, it seems that my Chen family is hopeful!"
Yu Hua didn't expect that he could get such an evaluation.
just thought, after all, this is his own family business, and he should help out with some help.
But I didn't expect that these families would be so grateful.
He felt that these subordinates of the Chen Mansion were extremely friendly to him.
This is also because the predecessor did not show up much, when he lived in the Chen family, in addition to practicing martial arts, he did not have contact with outsiders at all, and even the Chen family's family did not know much about him.
This time I came back from the capital, and I still held the position of the court, and I was a powerful martial artist, and when the people here saw it, they subconsciously had a good feeling.
He walked around the courtyard and basically understood the situation of the Chen family.
At this time, Father Chen and Chen Xichu walked over.
"Yu Hua, you have stayed at home to practice martial arts before, and you have never gone out, and when you come back this time, you should also understand my Chen family's family business, although it is not rich, but after all, it is also a family property left to the two of you. ”
Anyway, being idle is idle, and it's okay to walk around casually, but when he comes back this time, it seems that he has something serious to do.
"It's okay with me, but I was appointed as the martial arts practitioner of Chaiyun County, and I haven't taken office yet. ”
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this, the letter of appointment has been handed over to Wang County, as long as you have time to go to the city. ”
"And there aren't many martial artists in the entire Chasing Cloud County, you're just an idle job, so you don't need to bother. ”
Hearing him say this, Yu Hua had no reason to refuse.
"Okay, Xichu, you take him to see my old Chen family's property, this is your dowry in the future. ”
Chen Xichu nodded, called a few maids, and the group walked towards the Chen family's property.
I have to say that the Chen family, the rich man, is also worthy of the name.
There are more than 10 kinds of farmland, dyeing mills, cloth shops, and various industries.
According to the calculations of the accounting office, these industries can bring thousands of taels of profits to the Chen family every year.
Thousands of silver taels, this may not be anything in the capital, and you can't even buy a pill, but it's a lot, especially in the place.
It can also be seen how huge the Chen family's family business is.
"How are you living here?"
After taking Yu Hua to visit the Chen family's various industries, Chen Xichu took him to the Chen family's farmland.
The Chen family owns thousands of acres of land, and these fields are specially hired to be responsible for farming, which is a very important source of income for the Chen family.
More importantly, in this world, the grain yield is not high, and the existence of this farmland is of great significance to the Chen family.
It can be said that a large part of the reason why the Chen family has such a status today is that nearly fifty percent of the grain in Chaiyun County is produced by the Chen family's farmland.
When they came to a farmer's home, Yu Hua didn't expect that he would take on such a condolence duty.
"This year is a good year, the harvest is expected to be good, thank you aunt and young lady for your concern. ”
Yu Hua has no experience with these, he only listens to what they say, and there is nothing to follow.
He has been a human being for two lives, and he has never been in contact with farming, and when he came to the capital, he focused on cultivation.
Chen Xichu noticed that she took over the conversation and asked about the situation here.
In fact, there is no need for them to come to the scene to inquire at all, this farmland is managed by a special person, and even Chen's father only asks from time to time.
The relevant information has already been written into a book and sent to the Chen family.
Chen Xichu's questioning was very skillful, and it could be seen that he still knew a lot about these industries of the Chen family.
And along the way, Yu Hua also met a completely different Chen Xichu.
If Chen Xichu's performance was not outstanding when she was in the capital, then when she returned here, she was like the daughter of a landlord.
Chen Xichu was talking to them, Yu Hua turned his attention around, and he suddenly saw that in the next room, a child poked his head out and looked at Yu Hua cautiously.
Suddenly he became interested and walked towards it.
"What's your name?"
When the child saw him enter, he hid himself in the house.
It's really shy, Yu Hua didn't care, he smiled and shook his head.
At this time, the owner of this house, a farmer who was talking to Chen Xichu, noticed Yu Hua's movements.
His expression was a little anxious, and Chen Xichu followed his gaze and saw Yu Hua standing outside the house.
Then he asked, "Does Yu Lang want to go into the house and have a look?"
Distributed in various industries and serving the Chen family, from a certain level, they are all people who belong to the Chen family.
This house was naturally built by the Chen family and assigned to them to live.
Hearing Chen Xichu's words, the farmer was a little anxious: "Uncle, Miss, our house is dirty, you better not go in to take a look, so as not to stain your eyes." ”
The peasant also knew that such a place could not be seen, and he dissuaded it again and again.
But Yu Hua was interested, he waved his hand and walked in: "It's okay." ”
Chen Xichu followed closely and also entered the house.
The peasant followed in a panic, and at the same time carefully watched the expressions of the two of them, for fear of angering the two big men in front of him for something.
Although the Chen family has always been good to them, this is not the capital of their wanton behavior.
To his surprise, neither Yu Hua nor Chen Xichu showed a look of disgust, and his heart was full of gratitude in his eyes.
The furnishings in the room were simple, with only some basic furniture, and all of them were already dilapidated.
And the boy, who hid himself behind the pillar, saw him come in, and hid his head in fear.
When the farmer saw it, he shouted and said, "Ergou, come out and see my aunt and young lady." ”
When the child heard his words, he walked out slowly, and whispered in a crisp voice: "I've seen my uncle, I've seen Miss!"
Yu Hua reached out and touched his head, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, we have no malicious intentions." ”
Hearing his words, the farmer hurriedly said: "Uncle, Ergou, he is just afraid of life, not disrespectful to Miss Uncle, if he dares to have any bad intentions, I will not keep him in the first place." ”
"I know. ”
Yu Hua said comfortingly in a slow voice.
In the past half a day, after looking at the Chen family's industry, Yu Hua also found that the people here are very simple and have almost no bad intentions.
Naturally, he would not be angry because of the child's shy attitude.
Seeing his performance like this, the farmer was even more grateful, and he only thought that his uncle was really a good man.
The squeaky sound sounded, and Yu Hua felt it keenly, and at that moment he sensed the source of the sound.
It was above their heads, where the mortise and tenon joints were joined, that the wooden structure had changed.
The others also heard the movement, and they looked up.
At this moment, with a snap, the entire roof beam fell down.
A trace of fear suddenly flashed in the eyes of several people, this log was extremely heavy, if it was hit, it would be seriously injured if it did not die.
They were terrified and wanted to flee, but it was certainly too late.
The huge pillar fell with a bang.
Everyone closed their eyes, fear written on their faces.
However, what they expected did not happen.
After a long time, the surroundings seemed to become silent.
Chen Xichu subconsciously hid behind Yu Hua.
The peasant and the boy were lying on the ground and struggling.
Without the support of the pillars, the whole house collapsed, but it didn't hit them.
Opening their eyes in horror and looking up, they found that the entire roof was suspended at a certain height in the air.
They looked in the direction of Yu Hua and saw a scene that shocked them.
I saw Yu Hua with one hand behind him and the other hand up.
The heavy pillars of the roof were easily lifted in the air by him, and the entire roof was firmly supported by him.
