Chapter 130: I don't have that mind
"After building the house, I still have to buy some farm tools, add a few long-term workers, before buying land to open up wasteland, adding cattle and horses and spending a sum, I also used the old bottom of the family, and I have to borrow some from relatives, otherwise I can't bear it!"
Dong Changhe's words seem to be true, but in fact, he deliberately wants to spread these words through Master Cai's mouth, and he still keeps in mind the truth of the big move.
Master Cai also felt that Dong Changhe was not lying, after all, Dong Changhe was just a steward of Shuijiazhuang, and he received dead wages, and he had not heard of any windfalls.
So he patted Dong Changhe on the shoulder and comforted, "It's nothing to tighten up now, with this thousand acres of land, you will earn it back in less than two years!"
Dong Changhe smiled and said nothing, he didn't lie, except for Dong Changhe and his wife, as well as Feng County Ling and Master Feng, no one knew that this thousand acres of wasteland was given by King Youwang for free.
In order to cry poverty, Dong Changhe asked the Yun family to borrow silver from her sisters a few years ago, but it is conceivable that the Yun family did not borrow a penny of silver.
It's not that they don't have savings, it's that they don't dare to borrow.
In their eyes, Dong Changhe and his wife have taken a big step, building a house and buying land, and they are too slow to earn back by farming.
Perhaps Feng Xianling and Dong Changhe's secrecy work was too good, and everyone did not have a clear understanding of the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted by Dong Changhe, so they did not know the prospects of these two crops.
He covered the silver in his hand and refused to help.
Of course, Dong Changhe and his wife don't really want to borrow silver, it's just a way to hide people's eyes.
On the Yun family's relatives, Mrs. Yun privately lent the Yun family fifty taels of silver.
As for the Dong family, Dong Xiucai and his family also lent fifty taels to Dong Changhe, and the other brothers and sisters also lent Dong Changhe some silver, of which Dong Changhu lent Dong Changhe the most, a total of one hundred taels.
This is off-topic.
Dong Changhe and Master Cai talked about the construction of the house and some details.
This time, only two entrances were built, the main house was still seven on the second floor, and the wing room and backyard were also built with reference to the current pattern of Dong House.
The Dong family is in full swing here to prepare for spring ploughing, and in the Youwang Mansion in Shangjing, thousands of miles away, Youwang is also explaining the matter of Lord Cao's arrival in Changhai County.
In February, Lord Cao set out on the road to Changhai County again with a letter and expectations from Youwang.
After Lord Cao left, Youwang also began to deal with the things at hand, and tried to go to Changhai County as soon as possible, go to the salt field to have a look, and go to Dong's house to have a look.
On this day, the lord of Changle County appliquéd yellow on the mirror, she has come to menarche this year, she has grown very fast, not to mention the height of the growth, the place where the development should be developed is almost developed.
Delicate and lovely, she thinks that her appearance can be compared with her aunt, looking at her beautiful and delicate face in the mirror, she raised the corners of her mouth.
Now she just wants to take down her second cousin, so that her second cousin can bow down under her pomegranate skirt, as for whether she will marry her second cousin as a concubine in the future, or marry her eldest cousin to be the mother of a country, then she will talk about it.
In the past year, she has often visited her second cousin in Youwang's Mansion, but he is always lukewarm to herself, which makes her more and more frustrated.
With his personal maid and a few guards, he soon arrived at the Youwang Mansion, and the porter saw that it was Miss Biao, and stepped forward to give a proper salute, and invited the county lord of Changle and his party into the mansion.
Walking outside the study of King You, the county lord of Changle said softly to the jade Yan who stepped forward to give a salute, "Okay, don't be polite, report to the second cousin, and say that the county lord is here to bring him some food." ”
Yu Yan bowed down and said, "Lord Changle, wait a minute, the little one will go and report it." ”
This Changle county lord will go to Youwang's Mansion once in a few days, and each time he comes with different food, the beautiful name is that she made it herself, in fact, no one knows that she is just moving her mouth, and those foods are made by the cook!
He doesn't like this cousin who is inconsistent, why doesn't His Highness say anything, and he, who is a follower, can't show anything.
At this time, Youwang was reading the newspapers in the salt field of Changhai County in the study, and when he heard that his cousin was coming, the corners of his mouth unconsciously twitched, and he suppressed his voice and said indifferently, "Let her wait in the front hall, and this king will go over in a while." ”
At this time, the Youwang was in the period of voice change, his voice was a little unpleasant, and he always deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke.
His inadvertent pouting was still seen by Yu Yan, Yu Yan was happy, and happily walked out of the study to deal with the county lord of Changle.
For his cousin's careful thoughts, Xuanyuan Che can still guess a thing or two, but neither he nor his eldest brother can marry the daughter of the Feng family.
The Feng family has already produced a queen of their own mother, if there is another mother or princess, plus the current military power, the power of the relatives will be too great.
If you have a disobedient heart, it is not impossible to use your cousin, but you don't have that mind at all, even if you want to avoid suspicion, you can't marry your cousin as a concubine.
He understands this truth, and his grandfather and grandmother should also understand it, but he can't figure it out, they know it, but their cousin is in contact with him, and he closes the report in his hand, and the king touches the little fox lying on the table and says, "Xiaobai, you wait here, I'll be back in a while." ”
The little fox's ears moved, and he didn't even open his eyes, so he covered his little face with his big tail, and went to sleep.
Xuanyuan nodded its ears, "You little guy is so unrighteous......"
Get up and walk out of the study with your hands behind your back, and walk slowly towards the front hall.
The jade inkstone guarding by the door opened the curtain, Xuanyuan Che walked into the hall, and the county lord of Changle, who was still sitting, got up and gave Xuanyuan Che a blessing with a thousand manners, "Second cousin is well." ”
Xuanyuan Che raised his hand, "Get up, don't be polite!"
"Thank you, second cousin, I personally cooked a few snacks today and brought them to my cousin to taste. It's already half the morning, and my cousin is hungry!" She got up and opened the food box in her hand, and said softly as she took out the snack plate.
"Cousin doesn't have to work so hard to do this for the king in the future, there are ready-made cooks in the palace, and whatever the king wants to eat, the cook can do it.
You should learn more about housekeeping, and you will be a housewife in the future, so that you can take care of housework for Langjun!" Xuanyuan Che seemed to persuade casually.
"I can make some food for my cousin with my own hands, and my cousin is willing.
The cousin was far away from his homeland before he arrived and the crown, and there were no other relatives around here except the relatives of the Feng family.
I'm also worried that my cousin won't fit in, so I want to do my best to do something for you to comfort my cousin's homesickness!"
