"Ping'er, what's wrong with you, but what's wrong? Why don't we take the car back to the city and see the doctor? Li hurriedly asked.

Not only the Li family, but even Ruan Dalang was nervous.

Now, Ruan Yuping is the treasure of the family, although they didn't care much if they were sick in bed before. I think that if there is a firewood girl in the farmhouse, she will get better when she is sick.

Ruan Dalang didn't know about the land, but the Li family knew, so she thought more and farther. She even thought that if Ruan Yuping had three long and two short, would the imperial court take back the land.

This thought made Li feel very uncomfortable.

"Oh, it's okay, it's not home, let's go, get out of the car." Ruan Yuping took the lead in opening the curtain as she spoke, and looked around, but fortunately there was no one. If there are people watching, these things are not easy to move home.

So he hurriedly said, "Dad, mother, come down quickly and move things in." As he spoke, he glanced at Li again.

The money was given a long time ago, for fear that there would be onlookers when the money was given.

Ruan Dalang and Li are both human spirits, so they naturally understood what Ruan Yuping meant, and when they heard this, they quickly jumped out of the car, and said a few polite words to the coachman, and then they unloaded all the things and moved them to the house again.

While moving, Ruan Dalang said, "If you want to talk about how you two bought so many things this time." I saw that there were several bags of rice and noodles alone, as well as all kinds of vegetables that were not found in the field. Wow, and oil. You're like this, you don't spend less. And there is too much meat, at least more than ten catties. It's so hot, it's going to stink. ”

In this regard, Li Shi didn't have time to ignore him at all, and while ordering the quantity, he confirmed that it was correct, and then said: "This time, isn't our Yuping promising, why do you have to hold a banquet, please have fun with the villagers, don't you say?" ”

Hearing this, Ruan Dalang hurriedly said: "That's the reason, people come to ask me every day, I'm embarrassed." When are you going to do it? ”

Since the news that Ruan Yuping won the first place in the country came back to Qingshan County, people have come to inquire one after another. It's just that Ruan Dalang doesn't know anything, and he is a little embarrassed every time.

"Tomorrow is too busy, and I need time to prepare. In this way, it will be the day after tomorrow, so you will go to each house to inform you in a while, and ask your younger siblings to come over to help by the way. By the way, Yuping also bought some gadgets for everyone, and we'll send them over in the evening. ”

At this time, Ruan Dalang didn't know what to say. It's good to have a mother-in-law to run the house, and you can take everything into account. Now, even the gifts have been bought, and now his face has turned bright.

"Then why do you do it on an unknown day?" Ruan Dalang suddenly asked, he couldn't understand what Li meant by busy, "These vegetables and meat are left in vain, and they won't be fresh the day after tomorrow." If you do it the day after tomorrow, you can go to the city tomorrow to buy it. ”

Li Shi was directly speechless, and said for a long time: "It's so hot this day, I don't want to walk." Besides, isn't it just right to come back today, and buy it by the way? You can save half of the car fare. Also, this meat won't stink if it's rubbed with salt, and as for those vegetables, let's wilt, just put a little more oil when the time comes. ”

As he spoke, he sat down and drank a large bowl of water, and then continued to explain: "There are still many things to do today and tomorrow, one is that the village will definitely find us to measure the land, and the other is to find a place to hang this sign." The county magistrate said that we should hang up immediately when we come back. ”

After speaking, regardless of Ruan Dalang's question, Li Shi said directly: "Okay, you go and take out those red bags, remember, it's three." ”

Glancing at Ruan Yuping again, Ruan Yuping knew what Li meant, and only said, "Mother, I'm ready, let's go." ”

She had already hidden the silver, but she took out three taels, and she was going to use it later. Hearing this, Li was relieved.

In this way, braving the scorching sun, the mother and daughter walked towards the courtyard of the second elder of the Ruan family. Ruan Dalang happily followed behind, carrying a bunch of things in his hand. Forget it, instead of going at night, it's better to go now.

She had to get a good night's rest.

The two of them were too lazy to explain one by one, so they just came back and told their family about the situation and ventilated. Anyway, they couldn't hide it, and the people in the village knew all about it right away. After taking these benefits, someone will naturally explain it when the time comes.

"Dad, mother, everyone is okay, I brought Yuping this child back." As soon as he entered the courtyard, the Li family took the lead and took the lead in expressing his intentions.

The room full of people listened to it, and felt that just listening to the sound made them feel that the Li family was a little different from before. However, they can't say exactly what has changed.

It's just that what they don't know is that the Li family has indeed changed, and from today on, it will be completely different from them.

"Okay, it's good to come back, it's been hard all the way." The second elder of the Ruan family also expressed his attitude. Speaking of which, their granddaughter is very evil, usually silent, suddenly showed her talent to the world, and went to the capital to meet the emperor and the queen mother.

But now is by no means the time to express dissatisfaction.

Who knows what the situation of this girl is with the county. You must know that before leaving the county to go to the capital, she lived in the county government for more than half a month, meeting with those officials every day. It is said that in the end, it is very cooked, and he can go in and out of the yamen at will, and he doesn't need money to eat.

"Grandparents, second uncles and aunts, third uncles and third aunts, everyone, I'm back. In the past two months, I have trouble you to help take care of it, and my mother and I bought a little gift for everyone, which is not expensive, but it is a little heart. Dad, you can take it and share it with everyone. ”

Ruan Yuping said crisply, without any previous cringe.

Look, this girl has really changed, and it's really evil.

However, when I heard that there was a gift to take, although there was a "small" word in front of it to decorate, everyone was still happy. In these years, the married woman went back to her parents' house, and her mother-in-law's family was poor, but she went to the field to pick a handful of vegetables when she set off, and there were many people.

And this is the first time that Dafang has given them a gift.

Ruan Dalang smiled and sent out the three bags one by one, one for each of the two and three rooms, and one for the two elders of the Ruan family.

Seeing that everyone got the gifts, Li hurriedly said: "Tuo Yuping's blessing for this girl, with the permission of the magistrate, I also went to the capital with me." If you want to talk about the capital, it is really prosperous, but the price is also frighteningly expensive. Take pork as an example, we only have 30 wen a catty here, and the capital will sell it for 50 wen a catty. And those who eat, it's like robbing people. ”

The second uncle of the Ruan family is called Ruan Daming and marries his wife. The third uncle, Ruan Dajiang, married his wife Gong. Both families have their own characteristics, which can be seen from the time they get the gifts.

He took the bag, glanced at it quickly, and preliminarily judged that there were fish, meat, and pastries in it, and as for the others, it was not easy to look through in public, but he was very happy in his heart, and it was much more pleasing to the eyes of the Li family.

As for these gifts, she can take them to return the gifts, and speaking of which, she still owes several gifts. This gift is actually not small at all.

But Gong is different, after a cursory look, I feel that these gifts are too few. And except for the pastries, the rest of these things should be bought in the county, shouldn't they be bought from the capital?

Moreover, she also began to fight the idea of a gift from the second elder of the Ruan family.

Li Shi automatically ignored everyone's gaze, and said while finding a stool and sitting down: "This bag contains pastries and shoes bought in the capital, as well as a New Year's picture. As for the meat and cloth, it was bought in the county, because it was a long way, and if it was bought in the capital, it would be difficult to bring it back. ”

"Ouch, sister-in-law, thank you, you have a heart." He said with a smile. It turns out that there is still fabric, and now it is good to make a new dress for the family. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've worn new clothes.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to tell you. Our Yuping, won the first place in this national knowledge competition, which is the first place in the country, so the emperor personally rewarded her with a plaque, and the county magistrate made us have to hang it in the courtyard. ”

Before Li finished speaking, Gong said, "Are there any other rewards?" ”

Seeing everyone looking at her, they were a little embarrassed and said, "The emperor personally rewarded more than one plaque, right?" Aren't I also happy for this girl? ”

Hearing this, the Li family didn't hide it, anyway, what she was going to say was directly said: "Well, yes, there is, first, I rewarded this girl with fifty acres of land, and it was in the village, let the village chief pick the good land that was connected together and assign it to us." The second is to reward three new seeds. ”

As for the silver or something, Li automatically ignored it.

Rao is like this, Li's words still completely ignited everyone's emotions, and the second elder of the Ruan family was so happy that he didn't know what to say. Now it looks like Ruan Yuping's gaze is the same as Li's, as if she is looking at some kind of treasure.

Obediently, it is both a plaque and a ground, just with these two things, no one will dare to bully their Ruan family in the future. Moreover, the Ruan family will also become celebrities in the county completely.

In this way, the marriage of several granddaughters does not have to worry. It will be easier to marry a few grandchildren.

However, Gong is a little unhappy, why is Yuping's luck so good? It's obviously just a three-stick can't hit a fart, why did he suddenly open up.

That's fifty acres of land, envy the dead person. In the future, even if the big house family does nothing, it will be enough to collect rent. This is a small landlord.

"Will the village not be followed, where is there so much fertile land?"

The Gong family would not let the big house be so proud.

This time, it was not Li's turn to open his mouth at all, and the old man of the Ruan family said: "Women's Taoist family, those with long hair and short knowledge, what can you understand?" The emperor's golden mouth, the magistrate also personally asked, who dares not to obey? ”

Seeing that Gong was embarrassed to be scolded, Li took the opportunity to say: "Dad is right, the magistrate has already notified the village, and someone will come to inform us today." "Anyway, it's not her scolding, she deserves it.

"Sister-in-law, what are you going to do there?" Gong still didn't give up.

According to the rules of the Ruan family, there has always been an equal share of benefits.

Hearing this, Li said: "Brother and sister, the county magistrate said that this land is a reward from the emperor, and it can only be Yuping's, and it cannot be sold or given to anyone." Otherwise, you'll go to jail. ”

The second elder of the Ruan family was timid, and when he heard that he was going to prison, he said: "Well, the old man is right, this land can't be moved, just let Yuping girl plant it, and it will be successful to rent it out, don't sell it." ”

Li Shi said: "That's the reason, so Yuping and I have already discussed, this land will be planted by ourselves, and the land we rented before will be returned." In the future, you don't have to give the food to your father and mother, we just give it. ”

Seeing that Gong seemed to have something to say, Li hurriedly said: "Dad, mother, I was thinking that Yuping's girl had a future, and someone in the village came to ask from time to time. So, I wondered if I should have a banquet and invite everyone to have fun together. ”

"Well, that's a good idea! That's it! "The old man of the Ruan family is very happy, this is simply the honor of the Ruan family. As outsiders, they have been ostracized a lot over the years.

Well, now it's completely grounded. Not only does he have land, but he also has a number in the county.

At the end, another sentence was added: "The second and third family, when you hold a banquet, you must go to help." If I know who only knows how to eat, but doesn't help, I don't follow. ”

The old man rarely spoke, but the authority was there, so He and Gong hurriedly responded, not daring to say a word. He's okay, she's used to doing these anyway. But Gong's face was dissatisfied.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting outside the courtyard: "Big brother, is the big brother of the Ruan family at home?" ”

When everyone heard it, this was the voice of He Dafu, the head of the village.

The old man of the Ruan family has a high seniority, so there are few people in the village who dare to call him like this. However, regardless of the seniority, the village chief dared.

"Hey, village chief, village chief, please come in, I'm in the house." Old Man Ruan had already stood up, but after thinking about it, he just stood and didn't go out. When Li saw this, he winked at Ruan Yuping.

Xindao, her father-in-law, is somewhat interesting.

In this regard, He Dafu was not annoyed, took the initiative to walk in, glanced at the situation in the house, and said: "The whole family is here, ah, Yuping is also there." It just so happens that I'm here to announce a happy event for you, a great event! ”

Since the Li family had said it a long time ago, the Ruan family had already been mentally prepared. However, after listening to the words of the village chief, he knew that the matter was settled, and his face was full of smiles and smugness.

However, he just didn't say anything, just waiting for the village chief to say it himself.

"The emperor sympathized with Yuping's girl and won the first place, so he personally rewarded your family with fifty acres of land. The county also sent someone to say that the land must be connected together, and it must also be fertile land. So, let me ask you, what do you think? He Dafu said sincerely.

The village chief, this is to let them choose their own land?

Seeing that the Ruan family looked confused, the village chief said: "It's okay, you can choose, just say where you like, I'll coordinate and keep it for you to get down." ”

After thinking about it, he said, "Old man, this is a great honor!" The magistrate said that there is no need to pay taxes on this land. In other words, no matter how much grain this land produces in the future, it will be yours. But you must remember that the land cannot be sold. ”

This honor is even very envious of him. However, his words confirmed what the Li family said before, this land can only be Ruan Yuping's, and no one else can even think about it.

"Well, let's discuss it first, and then send someone to tell me." He Dafu knew that this was a big deal, and it was normal that he couldn't decide for a while.

"It's okay, it's just that I'm going to trouble the village chief. By the way, village chief, we will prepare a whole table of banquets tomorrow for the people in the village to be happy, and please bring your family. "The old man of the Ruan family told me about this by the way, and he was too lazy to invite it when the time came.

However, the Li family prepared a gift for He Dafu, and originally planned to give it when he went to the door to inform him in person.

It's never too late to go back in the evening.

As soon as the village chief left, the house fell silent again.

It's just that there are different opinions on which land to choose and how to choose, and there are great differences, which is simply difficult to reconcile.

The Gong family felt that this was a good opportunity, and it was personally inquired by the emperor and the magistrate, there was no need for them to hide it, they should choose a large and good piece of land generously.

The big and good land in her mouth is naturally the land of the eldest landlord in the village, Master He's family. Over the years, the Ruan family, as an outsider, has been renting his family's land.

This Master He also has a bad reputation, not only is the rent collection extremely harsh, the grain must meet the standard, and even the rent is tenant three, he seven, which has caused many tenants to complain.

Now that she has a bright chance for revenge, she will naturally not let it go.

However, the Li family had a different opinion, and only heard her say: "Now, thanks to Tuo Yuping, and knowing that the county adults helped, we do have the ability to choose any piece of land." However, after all, you still have to live in the village for a long time in the future, and there is no need to offend people. ”

He naturally agrees with Li's opinion, she has always been more timid. As for the second and third uncles of the Ruan family, they have always had no opinions.

After thinking about it for a long time, the old man of the Ruan family said: "I agree with the old man's opinion, just choose according to the village chief's wishes." Anyway, as long as it's a good field, why bother with which piece. ”

Hearing this, the old lady of the Ruan family also said: "Yes, as long as it is good land, no matter how he chooses, it will always be our family." They are all villagers, and there is no need to offend people. ”

In this way, the opinion was settled, and the eldest of the Ruan family went to the village chief's house to explain his decision.

As soon as he left, He Dafu said: "This is the way to get along for a long time, this Ruan family is afraid to be developed." ”

If the Ruan family had to choose the land they fancied forcibly, then he had a way to make their reputation stink and make it difficult for them to live in the village in the future.

What about the land given by the emperor himself, the emperor did not allow the Ruan family to run rampant, let alone allow the villagers to dislike the Ruan family.

However, now that they have taken the initiative to give in, he has no choice but to honestly find a suitable land.

In fact, he had already chosen this land, and that was the land of He Xufang's family, a big family in the village. This is also a coincidence, very close to the Ruan family.

What's more important is that this He Ofang family has no background, and it is very simple for him to come forward to negotiate, but it is just to pay the silver according to the market price. The government has already brought the silver, and it is kept in his own home, and he can take it out at any time.

In this way, it was only less than half an hour, and just after lunch, the Ruan family received a notice asking them to go to see the land, saying that it had been demarcated.

The whole Ruan family went out, and the villagers did the same, and they all went to the scene if they were fine.

In the envy of everyone, the village chief and a group of young men took something similar to a ruler and carved out the land, a full fifty acres, all connected together.

"This Ruan family has made a fortune, this land is very fertile, you can plant anything."

"Not only that, I heard that you don't have to pay taxes, and you can plant as much as you want."

"Isn't it! Take planting corn as an example, an acre of land is 300 catties, and 50 acres of land is how many catties? Ten acres and three thousand catties, five three thousand catties, that is fifteen thousand catties......"

"In my opinion, maybe they are going to rent out the land, and now they are nobles, maybe they won't farm their own land in the future!"

"Yuping, this girl, the more you look at it, the more smart it becomes."

……

In the envy of everyone, the old man of the Ruan family solemnly took over the title deed from the village chief and handed it over to Ruan Yuping.

Although he is the head of the Ruan family, the village chief of this place pointed out that it was for Yuping, this is a rule, and it is also the county magistrate who has taken special care of him, so he can't be confused in this matter and give others a chance to take advantage of it.

Take 10,000 steps back and think, no matter who this land is, anyway, from today onwards, he will not be short of food.

"Yo, this land is directly for Yuping's girl! If she marries in the future, will this land not be her dowry? ”

The implication is that once Yuping gets married, this land has nothing to do with the Ruan family.

When Gong heard this, he was both happy and uncomfortable. I'm glad that someone finally blocked the Li family. Since this Li family went to the capital once, his momentum has completely changed after he came back, and he no longer eats her set at all.

Moreover, the last thing she wants to admit is that this Li seems to have become beautiful, her skin is much whiter, and her clothes are brand new, which makes her seem to be more than ten years younger.

Of course, the sad thing is that if what everyone says is true, then they will not have any light in the future.

"This is the emperor's reward, and it is said that it cannot be bought and sold, that is, it will always be Yuping's girl."

"If anyone marries her, won't he be fated?"

"That's not necessarily, this girl has a good relationship with the Li family, if she shares the output of the field with her mother's family, no one will dare to say anything."

……

The audience talked a lot, and even Ruan Yuping's marriage was discussed, and the Li family was a little unhappy in his heart, but it was not good to directly deal with the villagers. I even endured such a major event as choosing a place, and these are even more enduring.

In short, you can't get into trouble for Yuping.

Thinking of this, Li smiled and said, "Don't praise Yuping anymore!" If it goes on like this, she is probably too shy to go out. The baby is thin-skinned, so it's up to me, the mother, to tell everyone. Tomorrow, we are going to hold a few tables of banquets, and when the time comes, please all come and try it, and it will be lively. ”

"Is it true? Then I'm going to go early! The old woman, who is called Granny Wang in the village, said with a smile, "It's just that you have to stew that meat to a rotten degree, otherwise the old woman won't be able to bite it." ”

As soon as Li finished speaking, the princess took over the topic and said. She is the most difficult person to get along with, and rarely says good things about people. But if you accept it, she will help you wholeheartedly. If others gossip about you, she will take off her shoes and embarrass you by virtue of her seniority and age.

"Hey, Granny Wang has said it, how dare I not listen! Don't worry, when the time comes, I will definitely stew the meat for you. Li quickly responded.

It was because Yuping had a long face that Granny Wang gave her face. Before the change, Wang Po didn't pay attention to Li's family.

"Look at my memory, I forgot one thing. This time, our Yuping won the first place in the country when she competed in the capital, no, the emperor rewarded a plaque. When I came back yesterday, the magistrate told us to hang in the yard. Tomorrow, when you eat and drink, you can also take a look together. ”
