CHAPTER XIII

"Mother, although the old saying is the gold of troubled times, you see that the world is chaotic like this, so gold is hidden at home, although it is said that it is a monster who is not afraid to lose, and he looks at peace of mind, but after all, it is not our own, I am really afraid that one morning when I wake up, the monster has changed my mind, and we suddenly have nothing, and we have gained and lost, and the pain is indescribable. It's better to use money to make money, that is, our family, mother, I think the land price is very cheap now, these gold, can also buy a lot of fields, with living income, we can have some guarantees, as long as the blood of the goblins continues, it will not ask where to go, it is better for us to use all the money to buy land. Are you always optimistic?

Liu thought that Shen Xiaohua's method was good, and decided to do it.

When farmers have money, of course, they must first build houses and buy land. The courtyard of the Zhangjia three in and three out is very abrupt in a large group of thatched houses, the chief designer is Shen Xiaohua chick, people who have read the book have different ideas, the shape of the house is simple and atmospheric, and the functions are complete. The workers sighed when the house was completed.

The house had just started, and the monster knew the information and instructed Shen Xiaohua to leave the best position for himself, Shen Xiaohua had already considered it at first, and left the innermost courtyard for her, and the monster was very satisfied. The ancestors of the Zhang family finally arrived at the location of the main house.

The Zhang family, who had been poor for generations, became rich in a blink of an eye and became the center of discussion in the village within a radius of dozens of miles. There are six counties in this Qingzhou Prefecture, with a total of four large landlords, occupying the four sides of the Qingzhou Mansion City. The Guan family in the east, the Liu family in the west, the Li family in the south, and the rich man Wang in the north. Qingzhou Mansion is the larger state capital of the Central Plains, with a population of about 600,000, and the fields of these four families account for 20 percent, the Wang family is the least, with nearly 30,000 mu, and each of the other three families is about 80,000 mu.

The rest of the land was in the hands of small landlords and yeoman farmers, and most families still lived by renting the landlord's land. Disasters have been repeated, the land has become the most worthless thing, the price of five taels of silver has no price, generally more than three taels can be bought, the Zhang family bought land at this time, some old masters said that their mother and son were robbed while the fire was burning. Although public opinion can kill people, they can't live without money, and many people still come to their doors automatically to beg them to buy it, and in less than a month, 7,000 taels of silver have become more than 2,000 acres of land. In the blink of an eye, the Zhang family became a small landlord.

The land was bought, and Zhang San'er asked Brother Xiao Ma to accompany him, and he changed them together, not a small piece. The Zhang family also helped the tenants buy cattle and prepare seeds, and more than 100 tenants thanked Dade. The old masters began to praise this great feat again.

Everything stopped, and a few months passed. Because of the strange money of the Zhang family, Qingzhou Mansion has already spread all over the country, and that magical monster may not have imagined that it acts as a talisman for the old Zhang family, and it is qualified to fight their family After understanding the ins and outs, who dares to come and find it uncomfortable, so it is very smooth to buy land or something.

The Zhang family started a family under his nose, and the rich man Wang couldn't sit still, and such a family suddenly appeared around him, and he couldn't help but deal with it carelessly.

Zhang San'er will be eighteen years old during the Chinese New Year, with a lot of life experience and a lot of stability. became a responsible man. Most of the people in the past got married very early, and Zhang San'er got married late. The door-to-door said that the relatives went away wave after wave. was sent away by Liu.

The son became a sought-after older youth. The mother starts to be anxious; Xiao San'er is indeed not young, it's time to ask him for a daughter-in-law. Zhang San'er was grinding with Shen Xiaohua all day long, and Liu actually had his own idea in his heart.

However, although the two dead children were in love, they did not dare to break this layer of window paper. Xiaohua, this girl is capable at a glance, and if she marries home, she will be a good hand at the house, but you are embarrassed to talk about a girl in the family. is such a good person, but his son is stupid and doesn't care. Liu decided to go on his own.

Liu was full of energy during this time, the bad luck was swept away, he walked with wind, and his life was getting better and better. After finishing his work, he began to think about his son's marriage, which really fulfilled the old saying 'full of warmth and lust'. (Sorry, misnomer.) )

"Xiaohua, don't be busy, it's always busy anyway, come over and let's chat."

"Okay."

Let Shen Xiaohua sit beside him, and comb Shen Xiaohua's hair caressingly, "Hua, I'm sorry for you, look at the tired little face is sharp." ”

"Mother, it's okay, our family is rich now, and we are always busy at first, and in the future, I will be the eldest lady at home, and let the third brother support our mother." Shen Xiaohua replied happily.

"Hehe, you kid, don't be too tired, my mother feels distressed when she looks at it." Liu was so distressed that he blamed.

After gossiping for a long time, Liu Shi turned to the topic, "Girl, you are seventeen years old this year, and you are not young, right?" ”

Shen Xiaohua vaguely guessed what Liu meant, her little face turned into a red cloth, and a hundred little deer pounded in her heart, but it was very sweet, and she pricked up her ears and waited for Liu to continue.

"In the past, our family was poor, and my mother couldn't bear to let you suffer in this family, but now you have land, and you have a house, and you can barely have no worries about food and clothing, girl, your mother knows your thoughts, you will give your mother a word today, are you willing to live with your third brother?"

Shen Xiaohua squirmed for a long time, and her voice was as low as a mosquito: "Mother...... I listen to your ....... After speaking, he felt that his face was so hot that he couldn't sit still anymore, so he turned his head and ran out.

Liu Shi said later: "Hua, I see that your third brother has already had this thought. You see, I'm going to prepare a family affair for you, okay? Shen Xiaohua ran into her room with a smoke.

Liu's resolute and resolute work, just do what he says, and hire an old mother to cook rice, and a little girl to help prepare. Invited the old master to write a gift list, asked the old mother to follow the carriage, and personally went out to Qingzhou Mansion to make a big purchase, and a day later Zhang's family was full of lights, a group of joy.

In the past few months, I have been buying land and seeing all the people and the world. The field was the life of the peasants at that time, and if it was not a last resort, who would have to sell the foundation of survival. Whenever it was time to settle, he saw all kinds of eyes, and the blank and painful eyes made him numb. Zhang San'er was green and clean, and the wood at the beginning disappeared. Living and moving the body, nourishing and moving qi, the vision is much higher than that of ordinary villagers.

"Third brother, you're back" Shen Xiaohua heard the neighing of the horse and ran out, only a few days after not seeing it, she felt empty in her heart, and when she heard the voice of the third brother, she was not about to come out.

"Come and see the bride come out." Brother Pony screamed, and the girl's face turned red again, and she ran in and closed the door.

Liu firmly believes in the monk of the Jade Emperor Temple, how could Zhang San'er not ask about the marriage event, after walking out of the Jade Emperor Temple, I don't know what the old monk said to her, his face sank, but he still ordered the happy event to be done. I thought about it gloomily for a long time. Finally didn't tell anyone

In a few days, it will be a happy day for two people, and the wedding in the countryside is a lively one, not to mention that the Zhang family is not a small family now. The colorful shed was erected, and the flowing water mat had to be eaten for seven days in a row, and the pear flower village stayed awake all night.

After the gift of Zhou Gong, it was already dark, a couple of newlyweds were sent into the cave room, Zhang San'er wanted to go in with him, but he was called back, it turned out that the relatives outside were happy, and asked the groom to accompany them to drink a few glasses, Zhang San'er scolded foul words, and said in the ear of Shen Xiaohua who was covered with a hijab: "Xiaohua, it is the rule of our side, we have to accompany the older generation to drink happily on this day, and the future days can be prosperous, I will go first, and come back as soon as possible." ”

Shen Xiaohua said in a low voice: "Third brother, go ahead, don't drink too much and hurt your body." The newly found little girl Xiaohong walked into the cave room with Shen Xiaohua in her arms, and Zhang San'er went outside to accompany the guests without mentioning it.

"Sister Xiaohua, will I call you Sister Hua or your third sister-in-law in the future" Xiaohong, this girl is also from Lihua Village, and her family background is also very bad, Shen Xiaohua has long asked her to come to her side to help her do something every day, only she and Shen Xiaohua are the only two people in the cave room, and they joke about the new daughter-in-law.

"You girl, next time I will find you an ugly man and ask you to make fun of me."

Xiaohong blushed shyly, "Third sister-in-law, you are necrotic." ”

"Xiaohong, is your third brother in good spirits today?" Shen Xiaohua covered her head, couldn't see Zhang San'er's appearance, and thought about the appearance of the third brother in her heart many times.

"The third brother is in good spirits today, sister-in-law, you didn't see it, and when he worshiped with you, his eyes lit up. If I marry someone in the future, I will also marry a man like the third brother. ”

"You girl, you are in a hurry to get married when you are old, and you are not embarrassed." Shen Xiaohua quipped. Xiaohong changed her name to her sister-in-law, which made her heart sweet.

Xiaohong didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, and asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten or drunk since morning, are you hungry?" ”

Speaking of hunger, although she hadn't eaten for a day, Shen Xiaohua was so busy that she really didn't feel it, she was fiddled around like a puppet, she was nervous, and she was carried by a sedan chair for twenty miles. I was groggy and just wanted to sleep, how could I take care of my stomach, and when Xiaohong mentioned it, I heard a gurgling sound.

"Xiaohong, I'm hungry, let's see if there's anything to eat."

The new house is very large, and when the house was built, Shen Xiaohua decided to treat it as a new house for the third brother and herself, so she designed it very carefully. All the facilities are complete. Liu had thought of this problem a long time ago, and prepared a lot of food for her room. Xiaohong brought it to her. It was inconvenient for Shen Xiaohua to eat with a hijab, so she asked Xiaohong to close the door of the new house, so that outsiders could not come in. I took off my hijab and chewed it in large gulps.

Xiaohong was dumbfounded, this third sister-in-law is really rare, and the groom has not yet taken the scale to provoke her hijab, so he took it himself. This is very unlucky locally. But he couldn't control it, so the two of them sat on the bed like this, eating and drinking.

A puff of green smoke squeezed into the cave room, Shen Xiaohua and the two of them just ate and didn't notice it, after the green smoke landed, it blew into Xiaohong's nose, and Xiaohong turned over and fell.

Shen Xiaohua saw that Xiaohong suddenly fell to the ground, she was shocked, looked around, and suddenly felt a cold in her ears, her body froze, and she couldn't move. The monster that hadn't appeared for a long time sounded in her ears: "Little flower, you are so comfortable." ”
