Chapter 189: One Shift
Ren Li was sitting on the kang squinting, his heart was shocked.
What's that?
Is there something wrong with his ears?
What the eldest son just said, what does that mean.
Suppose what the eldest son said was true......
No, no, no.
Ren Gongxin couldn't figure it out:
He got that bit of grain, and it wasn't worth a few pieces of silver, just that bit of silver, worthy of the government's intervention?
It's not the government that is in charge, it's the government that wants to be in charge.
It's even more of a joke.
The Guogong Mansion is full of idle food, and there are so many people outside who are greedy for thousands of taels of silver and don't catch it, why should they arrest him for an old man to ask, and he still asks about the coarse grain.
Coarse grain, white to the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion, and the sweeping women of the Guogong Mansion are not rare, right?
Not to mention the Guogong Mansion, even the county order is not uncommon to take care of this matter.
Thinking of this, Ren Gongxin looked at his eldest son and stopped talking.
To be honest, this is what the eldest son said, if it were a different person, he would have thrown it over with a big mouth, and he wouldn't lie if he lied, and he didn't tell evenly.
If you don't believe it, go out and just pull someone in the village to talk about it again, is the Guogong Mansion in charge of that coarse grain, does it want to make people laugh off their big teeth? Whoever listens will not believe it.
Ren Zijiu and Ren Zihao also looked at Ren Zisheng dumbfounded, there was a kind of rush for his brother to have hysteria.
The two brothers said in unison and asked in disbelief: "Big brother, big brother, are you mistaken?" ”
Stupid, stupid to the point where I have nothing to say to them, and I don't even know how I died.
Ren Ziwei simply told his father and the two brothers with practical actions not to doubt what he said.
He threw the teacup in his hand to show his rage.
Click.
It happened to smash at the feet of Ren Lizheng's newly married little daughter-in-law, which frightened the remarried little lady to scream.
"Get out." Ren Ziwei said, not even looking at the little lady.
Ren Li was looking at his eldest son's expression, and the balance in his heart tilted again to the fact that this was true, and his heart sank.
"Zisheng, don't get angry first, Dad will ask you one last time, is it true? Does the Guogong Mansion want to handle me? ”
"Dad, I don't want to come home every year. Tell me quickly, what else do you have to trouble them, if there is no big feud, I will talk to them, know myself and know the other......"
Ren Ziwei didn't finish his words yet.
Hiccup, Ren Lizheng hiccuped, immediately softened his body, leaned back his head and banged, and his head smashed on the kang.
"Daddy." Ren Ziwei stepped forward in a big stride, wanting to drag Ren Lizheng.
Ren Zijiu and Ren Zihao also ran over: "Dad, are you okay, what's the matter with your head." ”
Ren Li was lying on his back on the kang, not feeling the pain in the back of his head, his eyes were looking straight at the roof, and his mouth was shaking violently.
Since becoming a lizheng, Ren Gongxin has deliberately learned an official style, deliberately imitated the official to speak half and leave half of it, and deliberately learned from those who were officials to hold the shelf.
At this time, there were no signs of learning on his body, as if he had returned to his original form, and he had become the old man with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky a few years ago.
Ren Gongxin grabbed Ren Ziwei's arm, his eyes were red, and his eyes were full of tears:
"Da'er, Da'er, you have to save Dad, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it.
I thought about them as a bunch of deserters, and what about the big red card.
A big red card only shows that they have money.
But what if you have money? When you come to my territory, you have to listen to me.
I thought about what else they could take advantage of except some money on them, and they didn't even have any relatives.
I'm the bear on them, I'm the bear on them, they can't starve to death, they have money, they can buy it.
Yes, I didn't want to starve them, they had money to buy them, just buy them, and they will sue me.
In fact, I did this wrong thing because I wanted to hold them in the future. ”
Speaking of this, Ren Gongxin dragged the arms of several sons, sat up despite the dizziness of the kowtow, and continued to look at the eldest son with a handful of snot and tears:
"I'll give them all back, can't I go back? You can't let the officials arrest me.
The Guogong Mansion ordered, can I still be good? Don't think about it when you get in.
Go and beg the Hou Ye, I am his in-laws, and you are his uncle. There are few silver coins, and Hou Ye can't watch it. He's just saying hello. Yes, exactly. ”
"Dad, I really want to ask you, are you short of some silver? You just don't care about our faces. ”
"Me?" Ren Gongxin cried again, and his next words really made Ren Zixuan's heart soften.
Ren Gongxin said: He is not lacking, but he is used to it.
When he saw the benefits, he wanted to go home.
He also cried and asked Ren Zixuan, if he wasn't like this, what would you use to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
You are not Ren Eugene's grandson, Ren Eugene can give you enlightenment and teach you to read and write, but he will not provide you with pen and paper that costs money.
It's your father and me, who are in charge of the ancestors of the Ren family, and Ren Eugene only gives three or five taels of silver to buy sacrificial offerings, and he can also save half a penny of silver from it. There are many such things, and this is how he provided for his eldest son to study.
He got used to it, used to "no matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat".
Ren Ziwei covered his forehead and sighed.
found that his father still showed signs of continuing to cry: "Dad, you are my father, I will not look at it." Can we get down to business first? Let me ask you, do you know how much wasteland our village should give them? ”
Ren Lizheng heard that Da'er would not ignore him, so he quickly wiped his tears and said: "I know, I know, one person has three acres of wasteland, just one file." Fifteen to three acres, fifteen to the next acre. If they want more wasteland, they will have to pay money to the village. ”
Ren Zisheng interrupted: "How many acres of wasteland can our village give them at most, and how much can you be the master of?" ”
"There's nothing left, there's really no more in the village, it's all good land. Just the wasteland on the other side of the mountain, you know how much there is in the mountain, roughly? ”
Okay, needless to say, Ren Ziqi thought to himself, there is a large area of wasteland on that side, after talking to them first, if you can't give that piece of land, it's not worth much anyway. He paid the money and bought it in the name of the gang in the village through the normal process.
——
"Big brother?" Ren Zijiu and Ren Zihao followed Ren Zihao to the river.
Ren Zihao said hurriedly as he walked: "Big brother, do you want to see them in person?" Give them a favor and it's over. I don't understand, the food is returned to them, and the benefits are returned, why do they dare not change their words? Don't you want to mix in our village in the future? ”
Ren Zijiu said: "Big brother, I just think, no, I'll go and tell them, you are such a big official, and they are really not worthy of you to go in person." ”
Ren Ziwei hurriedly walked in front of him, and didn't reply: "Shut up." ”
"No," Ren Zijiu could only stubbornly tell: "Big brother, it's not that you won't let you go, it's that you can't get by." ”
Riverside.
Ren Ziwei pointed at the broken bridge with his finger, and turned his head and stared at the two younger brothers.
stared at Ren Zijiu and Ren Zihao with their heads drooping.
Don't look at them like that, my father let the bridge break.
"Sir?"
The butler's voice came.
The butler arrived with ten carts of grain.
Today, Renjia Village is simply too lively.
The big white fat girls in the village who love to see the excitement came out again, and she was shocked to see it.
And this time it's not just some women with broken mouths, everyone who heard that the most promising boss of Ren Lizheng's family is back, and the big official of Ren from ten miles and eight towns is back, basically the idle men and women in the village have come out to see the excitement.
They wondered one by one, what was Boss Ren doing here?
Oh, belch, belch, why does the official want to go down to the river.
The big white fat girl squeezed forward and exclaimed, "What is this for?" ”
Ren Zijiu hurriedly stopped: "Big brother, the river is cold, with ice stubble." ”
Ren Zihao also grabbed Ren Zihao's arm: "Big brother, I'll take you on the path, let's not go down the river, you see that ice skate has floated over." ”
Ren Zisheng is angry, and his mind is full of fire.
He knew the path, but what time it was, the sun had already set, and it would be dark in a few moments.
Is it for him to follow that path on the side of the mountain? Not to mention that the grain has to be carried one bag after another, and the narrow mountain path can't be pushed through the car at all.
Speaking of wolves alone, he is afraid of being bitten by wolves. Legend has it that halfway up the hill where the trail passes, there is a wolf's den on the top of the mountain.
If he had taken that path, he would have come up to the pitch of darkness, in case one or two came down from the mountain.
At this moment, another car drove into Renjia Village.
And it was two, horse-drawn carriages.
