Chapter 21: Conquering the Henchmen
Cao Wenfeng said he was leaving.
Cheng Ming naturally went to Su Xinruo for instructions.
After Su Xinruo heard Cheng Ming relay Cao Wenfeng's words, she thought about it: This Cao Wenfeng? How does the name sound familiar?
She lowered her head and thought for a while, before she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, when she was with Liu Kunhao, Liu Kunhao was very angry once, and he was furious in front of her, as if other officials were dissatisfied with him, and Cao Wenfeng was also mentioned. also said that Cao Wenfeng is just a small Tanhua, what kind of thing? Dare to point fingers at him......
I don't know if the Cao Wenfeng in Liu Kunhao's mouth saved this Cao Wenfeng by himself?
Since he was able to be admitted to Tanhua in his previous life, he was destined to save him in this life, and he went to Beijing to take the exam...... Then leave a good karma.
Su Xinruo made up her mind, she ordered, "Since he went to Beijing to take the exam, and he lost his belongings, he still needs to write documents and other things." In this way, the so-called saving people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, green butterfly, you bring pen and ink, I will write a letter to my brother, ask you to bring it to Cao Wenfeng, and tell him that if he can't solve the problem, he will go to my brother for help. “
"Okay, Miss is really thoughtful!" Cheng Ming nodded, and after waiting for Su Xinruo to finish writing the letter, he planned to leave.
"Wait!" Su Xinruo shouted to Cheng Ming, and turned his head to Man Zhen and said, "Man Zhen, take ten taels of silver and give it to Cheng Ming, he also needs silver when he enters Beijing for the exam." “
Cheng Ming took the ten taels of silver given by Su Xinruo, and said suspiciously, "Master, this is ...... That's too much, right? “
is also puzzled, there is also Green Butterfly, she feels that it is too much to give ten taels of silver, ten taels of silver, generally a maid is one tael to two taels a month, and she works under Su Xinruo, and the monthly case is only two taels per month. That's five months of self-employment.
Naturally, Man Zhen and Feihe also looked at the silver in Cheng Ming's hand with a little jealousy.
Su Xinruo glanced at everyone's eyes, she smiled, in fact, she originally planned to give fifty taels of silver.
However, seeing that her maid and Cheng Ming both used such eyes, she naturally didn't dare to give more. Besides, now Cao Wenfeng is not a Tanhua, and he doesn't have any position, if he gives fifty taels of silver at once, not only will several of them be turned upside down, but even Cao Wenfeng may wonder what his purpose is.
"Cheng Ming, you tell him: This is what I specially lent to him, not to him, as for the IOU or something, you said that I believe in his character. He went out and lost his baggage, it was not easy to come to the capital, besides, the imperial examination was a month later, so he needed money for food and accommodation this month, and he also had to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone? I still have to buy books, and this amount of money may not be enough. Su Xinruo said with a smile, then thought for a while, and said, "If he comes to thank me in person, you can say no, if he wants to thank him, maybe in the future, I Su Xinruo still need to ask him, even if he owes me a favor, then I can repay the favor." “
Cheng Ming listened to Su Xinruo's words, he compared his heart to his heart, originally he was summoned by Su Jianyu to help Su Xinruo do things, and he was still a little nervous.
Although Su Xinruo and Su Jianyu are two brothers and sisters, no one knows what Su Xinruo's personality is.
As for whether she is good to her subordinates, whether she can manage, or whether she is bold, I don't know.
The most feared thing is to follow an unreasonable and calculating master...... But now, this master is so generous to a stranger, what if he is loyal to her?
Cheng Ming looked at Su Xinruo with admiration and admiration, "Master, you are really a good person!" He made up his mind to do a good job under Su Xinruo.
"As long as you do a good job, I will be good to you." Su Xinruo received Cheng Ming's admiring eyes, and was stunned, she couldn't imagine that she had unintentionally subdued Cheng Ming.
She was happy in her heart, she had heard Su Jianyu tell her that Cheng Ming was a very capable person, but he was a little unruly, although he was very convinced of his boss on the surface, but he was arrogant in his bones......
And because Su Xinruo needed someone with strong ability to help her manage all affairs, Su Jianyu thought of Cheng Ming.
also said to Su Xinruo: "As long as you can subdue him, he will definitely do things for you wholeheartedly!" "If it weren't for Su Jianyu's stewardship, who was kind to him, Su Jianyu also planned to replace his steward with Cheng Ming's.
When Cao Wenfeng received the letter of introduction and silver handed over by Cheng Ming, his face was excited: This Su Xinruo is really good to him. She deserves to be the daughter of a famous general, she is really bold...... This Su Xinruo also gave himself so much silver at once...... was even afraid that he would not be able to take the exam, so he deliberately wrote a letter of introduction to his brother and asked his brother to help......
This Su Xinruo is not only a life-saving grace for herself, but also very thoughtful for herself...... This time, he definitely met a nobleman, he has been very unlucky for so long since he went out, and now he is full of bad luck.
He and Cheng Ming's master, Su Xinruo, met each other, she took care of them so much, he was so lucky, he said excitedly, "Brother Cheng, your master is really a good person, he thinks too thoughtfully, I want to thank her personally, okay?" Your master's great kindness, Cao really can't repay it......"
"No need, my master also specially instructed you to take the exam, maybe you are in high school, after you are in high school, come and repay my master, she said, this money, as if she lent it to you, and then you will get used to it when you have money." As for the rest, she said that maybe she would need you to help her in the future. Cheng Ming shook his head and replied to Cao Wenfeng.
When Cao Wenfeng heard Cheng Ming's words, he naturally knew what to say about lending money to himself...... In fact, I am afraid that my self-esteem will be damaged...... This Su Xinruo was really thoughtful, since she didn't want to thank him now, he also secretly made up his mind in his heart that no matter what happened to Su Xinruo in the future, he would definitely go all out to help......
With this in mind, Cao Wenfeng left the carriage and walked in the opposite direction.
A little episode, Su Xinruo naturally ignored it, she still closed her eyes and recuperated, thinking about how to deal with the rest of the Liu Mansion in the future, and thinking about what she would do if she had money...... After a while, it occurred to her that she would also find an opportunity to collect the dynamics of the imperial court......
In any case, the plan for the present is to replace Zhuangzi's stewardship with her own people, and then move on to the next step, if there is no money, all her things will not be able to be carried out.
It's just that unexpectedly, when Su Xinruo and a few maids walked down from the carriage, there was no one in the Zhuangzi quietly, only a large area of abandoned fields after harvesting around them, and only a few scattered places had begun to be sown, revealing small, emerald green seedlings......
Cheng Ming glanced around a little puzzled, isn't this land the most fertile? Is the harvest the best?
How do you look at this, the rest of the land is not cultivated? How can you cultivate only a little bit of three, three, two, two?
It is necessary to urge those tenants to cultivate as soon as possible, otherwise the season will be missed, and then there will be no harvest, and the tenants will not have a harvest, and naturally, the master will not harvest.
Su Xinruo also glanced around, no one came to greet her, and no one cultivated in heaven and earth, she turned her head to Mother Lu next to her, and asked suspiciously, "Mother Lu, didn't you ask you to notify the steward to pick us up?" They also said that they would call the tenants together, do we have something to say to them? Why is there no one here? “
Mother Lu also looked around suspiciously, and replied, "Miss, I ordered them to notify, it is impossible for them not to notify, I don't know what is going on, why is there no one?" “
"Master, maybe it is Zhuangzi's people who are yin and yang, why don't we go directly to the steward, or go to the tenant's house first, and find out what is going on first?" Cheng Ming proposed.
Su Xinruo felt that Cheng Ming was right.
Although she took back the control of the power this time, she took it back opportunistically, and I believe that Mrs. Liu definitely does not want to return the rights to herself.
Naturally, she would privately tell those in charge to embarrass herself, and now she said that she would come and make rounds, that she wanted them to come and pick her up, and that she would bring the tenants to speak.
Then Zhuangzi's management accident was contrary to the yin and yang, did not come to greet him, and deliberately asked the tenants not to appear...... Maybe he said something against the tenants? Who knows.
Cheng Ming's proposal is indeed good, either he will go to the steward here to settle the accounts in person, or he will go to the tenant's house in person to understand the situation from the tenant.
Cheng Ming saw Su Xinruo's head and agreed with his statement, he paused, glanced at the surrounding fields, and thought that his master was a woman, and he probably didn't know a lot of things, so it was better to remind him, "Master, this field must be sown as soon as possible, otherwise, if you miss the sowing time, this field will be abandoned for a season." “
"Huh?" Su Xinruo glanced at the surrounding situation, and the expression on her face suddenly became serious, "What the hell did this steward do?" Why are there only a few places to sow seeds! If you look at it this way, there is no harvest at all. “
Seeing the anger on Su Xinruo's face, everyone didn't dare to speak, and silently followed Su Xinruo and walked towards the house of one of the tenants.
"Knock knock." Cheng Ming knocked directly on the door.
"Who are you?" Behind the door came a man in his thirties, with a strong body, dark skin, wearing a coat, and a simple face, looking like a farmer.
He saw the bright person in front of him and asked suspiciously.
Cheng Ming casually glanced at the situation in the door, it seemed that this man's family was packing things, large bags of packages, piled up on the bed and table on the ground, a rural woman in her thirties, and two little boys who were about five or six years old, and eleven or twelve years old, were busy inside.
He was slightly puzzled in his heart.
Looking at the situation of this tenant household, it seems that they are packing up their things and leaving here, generally speaking, people who cultivate the fields rarely leave the local area to develop elsewhere, what is the reason why he would rather leave his hometown and leave here!
