Chapter 163 Going Home
The total amount of rent that Zhang Wangcun needed to pay this year had already been calculated, and after Wang Taili's family property was cleared, this part was removed from it, and the rest was divided equally according to the amount of land rented by each farmer. Of course, in the end, they still left some for the Wang family, but because their family's daily expenses were really not low, and they didn't really have much money and silver left, they only left enough money and grain for them to harvest grain next year.
As for whether Wang Taili's family is going to have a bleak year this year, that is beyond the control of others.
It will take some time to distribute the money and silver one by one, Hao Yu and Ding Yezi didn't want to fake the hands of others, so they both went to Zhangwang Village in person, and watched the people distribute the money and silver to the hands of the farmers one by one, and at the same time, they really felt the joy of the farmers.
After all the things were distributed, the farmers were still standing in the big field of the village, talking about something.
Hao Yu stepped forward, glanced at the farmers in front of him with a solemn face, and suddenly the slightly noisy field became quiet, and he said in a deep voice: "Fellow villagers, Hao Mansion has always wanted to give you the greatest profits, so that you can live a good life, but although the treaty signed by Hao Mansion with you is beneficial to you fellow villagers, who would have expected that there would be a moth like Wang Taili among them?" And it's been in for many years! I hope that in the future, all the villagers can be bold, and if they find someone doing this kind of deception, they must report to the Hao Mansion as soon as possible. I promise that as long as what is said is true, all people will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! ”
For these farmers in front of them, they may not be able to earn ten taels of silver if they have planted the fields for a year with all their might, and now that the second young master of the Hao Mansion said these words himself, they naturally did not have the slightest doubt, and they all jumped up with joy.
Seeing Hao Yu's popularity for a while, Ding Yezi stood aside silently and didn't say anything.
Master Hao is a wise man, this matter is just a tail that Hao Yu has dealt with, and it is not something he discovered, and it has no effect on him.
Finally, it took two more days to clean up the aftermath of Zhang Wangcun, and it was finally time to go back.
Hao Yu and a group of subordinates came on horseback, so naturally they would not go with Ding Page, and left after dealing with things that afternoon.
Qinglian and Zishuang persuaded Ding Yezi to go back to Taihe County tomorrow morning, after all, the road was placed there for more than an hour, and if he rushed back today, he would definitely have to go home until it was pitch black. Besides, she hasn't had a good rest these days, so it's better not to rush back.
Ding Yezi was worried about Hao Ling's situation, he was embarrassed to ask Hao Yu before, but now he just wants to rush back quickly, and it can be regarded as peace of mind when he sees it with his own eyes.
Unable to resist Ding Page's insistence, Qinglian and Zishuang had no choice but to pack up their things and go back to Hao's mansion, and Steward Li and Yang Li naturally followed together.
By the time I entered the city gate, it was already dark, the cold wind was blowing outside, there were few pedestrians on the road, the stalls and vendors were long gone, only the lanterns in front of some people's houses were lit, barely illuminating the streets.
After another quarter of an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the door of Hao's mansion.
Qinglian quietly approached Ding Yezi's side and called softly: "Young lady, young lady, we have arrived." ”
Ding Yezi was sleeping lightly, and when he heard Qinglian's call, he woke up, stretched casually, and asked, "We have already arrived home?" ”
Qinglian smiled lightly and replied: "Yes, young lady, please get off the carriage, it's good to go back and rest." ”
Zishuang had already taken the lead in getting out of the carriage, and had already set up the footstool, and when she saw Ding Page coming out, she hurriedly reached out and helped Ding Page to come down, completely looking like an obedient little girl. I can't help but sigh secretly, it seems that this person, sometimes you can't be too good to her! Now that Qinglian and Zishuang's deed of sale are in her hands, she also holds their power of life and death, and the two of them really serve her very carefully when they go out this time.
After getting out of the carriage, the cold wind rushed over, and she couldn't help but shiver when she was frozen, Qinglian hurriedly took out a fur cloak from the burden and draped Ding Page.
Ding Page hurriedly quickened his pace and hurried to the east courtyard.
Now it's already past dinner time, and she's not going to rush to the dining room, just go back.
Far away, there seemed to be a person standing there at the door of the east courtyard, and when he saw Ding Page and the trio coming, the man shouted happily, "Young lady, it's the young lady who is back, Xiaoyu, hurry up and heat up the food again, the young lady must not have eaten dinner yet." ”
Hearing this voice, Ding Page realized that it was Dong'er standing here waiting.
When he walked in front of her, Ding Yezi asked with a smile: "Dong'er, what are you doing standing here on this cold day?" Don't you know I'm coming back today? ”
Dong'er had the most contact with Ding Page, and after a long time, she got up a little casually, and when she saw Ding Pagezi asking her, she said with a bitter face: "Young Madam, it's not that the slave maid is a god who knows that the young lady is coming back today, but the young master said that the young lady will definitely come back today, so let the slave wait here." ”
Ding Page smiled, it seems that Hao Ling saw Hao Yu come back, so he guessed that she would also come back today. It's just that why is he so sure that she will come back overnight? Was her heart for him so obvious?
After speaking, Dong'er moved out of the way, so that Ding Page could enter the courtyard.
The courtyard was brightly lit, and Ding Yezi's heart was warm, and suddenly he felt like a traveler returning from the night, but there was always such a person waiting at home. In many cases, that's what home is all about.
Hurriedly stepped into the main room, and a person on the couch looked up at her with a smile when he heard the sound, it was Hao Ling.
"Lady, you can be regarded as back." Hao Ling put down the book in his hand and went to Ding Page to greet him.
Dong'er and a few maids quietly closed the door and waited quietly outside. There is no doubt that it is Hao Ling and Ding Page's private time, and they don't need to serve them for the time being, they just need to wait outside for orders.
Ding Yezi untied his cloak and put it on the stool casually, and then swooped into Hao Ling's arms like a bird, quietly resting his head on his chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, and absorbing the warmth on his body.
Seeing the reaction of Ding Page's little daughter's family, Hao Ling was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, slowly reached out and patted Ding Page's back, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Ding Page muttered, "It's nothing, it's just too cold outside, or it's warm on your body." ”
Hao Ling smiled, stood with her for a while, thinking that she was also tired these days, so he pulled her to sit down on the couch.
"It's so late today, why did you rush back? It's inconvenient on the road, and there's nothing going on at home, so I'll be back tomorrow morning, so why rush back and forth like this? Hao Ling reached out and rubbed Ding Page's slightly cool hands to warm her, and said with a little complaint.
Ding Yezi grinned and said, "I'm not in a hurry, but if I don't rush back, won't I let someone talk and not talk?" ”
Hao Ling was embarrassed, his face flushed slightly, and asked, "Did anyone say anything about me?" ”
Ding Yezi looked at Hao Ling's cheeks blankly, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch it, it was still that kind of white and tender touch, I am afraid that ordinary big girls can't compare. Sometimes, Ding Yezi really thinks that Hao Ling's temperament is really weaker, obviously he is also a person who has been immersed in the mall for many years, but he actually looks very good at talking, as if he is not a principled good gentleman. While this is not the case, it is sensory.
Sometimes Ding Yezi even thinks that if she goes out with Hao Ling in the future, with her fierce temperament, in the eyes of others, I am afraid that it is not like Xianggong taking Xianggong to go shopping, but the lady forcing Xianggong to go shopping, right?
Not...... At the mention of this, Ding Yezi couldn't help but think of the first encounter with Hao Ling, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was an interesting thing. If it weren't for Hao Ling's courage and courage that time, if she hadn't smashed it on the bench with all her brains, I'm afraid there would be no meeting and acquaintance between them.
Things in the world are really wonderfully tight many times, if this was put on hold in the past, she would never have thought that there would be a boy like Hao Ling in her life.
"Xianggong, I'm hungry." Ding Page muttered.
Hearing Ding Yezi say that he was hungry, Hao Ling hurriedly let go of his hand and hurriedly said, "Okay, you wait a minute, I'll let them go and get food." I knew I was coming back earlier, so I made some of your favorite dishes in the kitchen, all of which were heated on the stove to ensure that you had something to eat. ”
Before the words fell, Hao Ling saw the thief smile on Ding Yezi's face, and remembered what he just said, he really wanted to hammer his own brain, didn't he refute his own words?
Annoyedly, he bent his index finger and scratched Ding Page's nose, and said with a smile: "You, you know how to play." ”
Ding Yezi grinned and said, "When did people play?" Are you really hungry, or am I a good friend and specially left me something delicious. ”
Hao Ling had no choice but to shake his head and sigh.
After Hao Ling's order, Dong'er quickly came over with a food box, four dishes, two soups and two pairs of chopsticks, neatly placed in front of Ding Page and Hao Ling. The four dishes are all Ding Yezi's favorite dishes, and the soup is also stewed old chicken soup and mutton soup, which are all good things to warm up the body, and they are suitable for this season.
Ding Yezi looked at Hao Ling in surprise, and after Dong'er withdrew, he was stunned and asked, "Xianggong, don't tell me, you haven't eaten dinner yet." ”
