Chapter 004: There is a funeral at home

"Boom~~"

The fishermen at the wharf in Xihai County suddenly found that they didn't know when it started, and there was always a huge muffled sound of 'boom' in the deep sea not far away.

At first, the people who begged for rain mistakenly thought that their sincerity had moved the dragon lord, and the dragon lord was going to give them rain, and the rumbling sound in the sea was the roar of the dragon lord.

There are also the god sticks, dressed in strange costumes, holding copper bells in one hand and peachwood swords in the other, dancing on the dock.

The onlookers poured a large plate of tribute into the sea as if they didn't want money - whole pig's head, all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits, fried golden noodle fish, noodle chicken and other vegetarian food, as well as whole stewed chicken, stewed duck, stewed goose......

After some tossing, the rumbling sound on the sea continued, but there were no clouds in the sky, and even more rain was even more woody. However, the sea snakes and turtles in the sea who helped the little obediently carry the reef heard the motive on the shore, and they all slipped over to see the excitement, and ate the tribute.

"Yes, yes, that's it, don't arrange reefs on the north and west sides of Peach Blossom Island, and transport those reefs to the east and south sides, especially the east side......"

Wang Qifang stood on the back mountain of Peach Blossom Island, looking at the sea in the distance, and kept giving orders to the little obedient beside him, and the little obedient was very resigned to explain Wang Qifang's words to its apprentices one by one - woo, fortunately, these sea snakes and turtles, after its ignition, their intelligence and physique are four or five times higher than ordinary peers, otherwise, with Wang Qifang's tossing method of turning over the river and the sea, its apprentices are really uneven.

"Huh, the reef near Peach Blossom Island has been arranged, let's go to Xiaoyao Island tomorrow."

Xiaoyao Island is the small desert island that Wang Qifang went to the sea on the day she went to sea, and after thinking about it again, she decided to name the island Xiaoyao - hehe, Xiaoyao Island will be her Wang Qifang's paradise in the future, and it is also a comfortable nest for her and her children.

"Alas, well," the little girl sympathized with the apprentices who were tossing in the deep sea, and when he thought that there would be more difficult characters tomorrow, he was also a little listless, nodded sullenly, and said, "However, I am only responsible for carrying the reef, and I don't do the work of digging mountains and transporting stones." ”

It's a dignified beast, not a porter, and it's not a free coolie.

Hmph, carrying the reef, this job still has some technical content, let it do it with the apprentices, but it is a bit low-level, it definitely does not do it!

"Okay, I know that you and your little brothers have worked hard, and I won't bother your old man anymore for the work of digging mountains and transporting stones!"

Wang Qifang also knew that in the past few days, the little ones have been tired, and they have moved all the reefs and undersea boulders in the nearby waters to the vicinity of Peach Blossom Island, as well as the middle section between Peach Blossom Island and Xiaoyao Island.

Fortunately, Xiao Liang is a divine beast, and he has more psychic subordinates in his hands, so he can complete this almost impossible work.

Now, Datou is almost busy, and Wang Qifang feels that it is more appropriate to leave the work of transporting stones and reclamation to the sea.

In addition, she tossed such a big movement in the East China Sea, and she also had to say hello to the local government and some nobles in the capital, otherwise, the base area has not been built yet, and she will be discovered first, and then mistakenly think that she wants to occupy the island as the king, and try to send troops to stop it, then wouldn't she be too much of a loss?!

……

Back in the main courtyard, just sat down and drank a sip of tea, the guards outside came to report, saying that there was a tenant Guo Dazhuang who asked to see him.

"Little Guo Dazhuang, I've seen the owner!"

Guo Dazhuang came to the main courtyard of the east house for the first time, he was a little apprehensive, he shrunk and came to the porch, and before he could enter the door, he knelt outside the door with a puff, and saluted with a slightly trembling voice.

"Guo Dazhuang, right? Hehe, I remember you, you are the first batch of tenants who followed Mrs. Ben, speaking of which is the patriarch of Peach Blossom Island, and you can be regarded as your own family, no need to be polite, hurry up. ”

Wang Qifang saw that Guo Dazhuang was very restrained, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Do you have anything to do with asking to see Mrs. Ben?" Is it not enough to pull out water? Or is there some difficulty at home? ”

It was not a whim for her to ask, the drought has continued recently, and there has only been a sparse spring rain on her Peach Blossom Island, and the wheat in the field is the time to pull out joints, and it needs to be watered urgently, otherwise it will affect the future growth and harvest of wheat.

It happened that there was a mountain spring on the back mountain of Peach Blossom Island, which drips water all the year round and never flows, so Wang Qifang made the decision and asked Amethyst to notify all the tenants to take a bamboo pipe out of her back mountain and water the wheat field with mountain spring water.

Well, the tenants have been busy for seven or eight days, so the wheat in the field should have been watered, right?!

"If we go back to the owner, our wheat fields have been watered, and thanks to the owner's kindness, the sluice gate and water release have saved the crops in our field," Guo Dazhuang mentioned this, forgetting the apprehension in his heart for the time being, and kowtowed to the woman sitting in the main hall with a grateful face, "Thank you, thank you!" ”

"You are Mrs. Ben's tenant farmers, and when you have a harvest, Mrs. Ben can recover the rent, so Mrs. Ben doesn't want your gratitude, as long as you take good care of the crops and collect more grain, it is better than anything else."

Wang Qifang waved his hand and asked him to get up: "Okay, hurry up." ”

"Xie Dongjia," he said thank you, but Guo Dazhuang didn't get up, but clasped his fists and asked with a little pleading, "Dongjia, yesterday my hometown villagers came to a letter, saying that Qingyang is in another drought this year, the fields are dry and cracked, and even the water level of the river and the inlet is also declining, and the old people say that this is a harbinger of a year of great drought...... The villagers want to ask the owner if we still recruit tenant farmers on Peach Blossom Island. ”

After saying this, Guo Dazhuang quietly glanced at Wang Qifang, and saw that her face sank like water, and there was no reaction, so he hurriedly added, "Don't worry, our fellow villagers are all old croppers, and all of them are experts in farming and raising pigs." Some brothers are not only good at crops, but also have a lot of crafts. ”

Worried that Wang Qifang would not believe it, Guo Dazhuang was anxious to give him the brothers who entrusted him for questioning, and praised them one by one, "...... The Dashan Brotherhood does carpentry work, and it is famous in all four miles and eight towns; The eldest brother of the second dog can weave straw mats, and the mats he weaves are better than the most skillful little ladies around...... And the sisters-in-law, everybody knows how to weave and spin—"

Wang Qifang saw that he was talking endlessly, if she didn't say anything, it was estimated that she would be able to talk about the evening, so she hurriedly interrupted, "Okay, I know... Hmm, Guo Dazhuang, are you sure those villagers are willing to give up their status as freedmen and come to me as tenant farmers? ”

"Yes, who doesn't. Especially when I heard that the owner is kind-hearted and kind to the tenants, everyone is rushing to come. ”

As soon as Guo Dazhuang heard this, he knew that there was a way to do this, and he was busy helping the villagers to express his position.

"Well, if they want to, just come."

Wang Qifang nodded, now that she has a way to expand the island, she is not worried that there is no place to place these people. Besides, since you want to create your own paradise, the more people you have, the better.

"Thank you, thank you!"

This time, Guo Dazhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his honest face - huh, now the villagers are here, and their family will be lonely on Peach Blossom Island.

After sending Guo Dazhuang away, Wang Qifang sat in the living room and thought about it, sorted out her thoughts, and then went to the study to write a letter.

She wrote a total of three letters, the first of which was naturally addressed to the three princesses of the capital.

During the Chinese New Year, the third princess was a little alienated from her, although she didn't know what the reason was, but Wang Qifang felt that it was better to do things safely, although the matter of Peach Blossom Island was very small, and it was far away from the capital, even if she didn't tell the third princess, outsiders wouldn't say anything. It's just that I'm afraid that the third princess will hear about it from others, and with the fabrication of someone with a heart, there will be any misunderstanding about her.

Well, at present, she still has to live in the territory of the Great Zhou, and it is not good to offend the princess of the protector.

The second letter was addressed to Li Jingniang's husband, Master Lu, the Ship Division, that Wang Qifang should make a big move at sea, and that she should inform the Shipping Department, otherwise, her fleet carrying dirt and stones would be found by the inspection ships of the Ship Division, and it would be bad for her to conduct maritime trade privately in violation of regulations.

The third letter was addressed to Li Jingtian, and when she left Qingyuan that day, Li Jingtian also set off to return to Pingzhou. Subsequently, the head of the Li family in Pingzhou sent someone to visit the old lady in Qingyuan, and after some negotiations, the wedding date was set, if there is no accident, Wang Qifang will marry Li Jingtian in June this year.

Now that the marriage date has been finalized, the two people are a legitimate unmarried couple, and according to the etiquette law, the two people are not allowed to see each other before they get married.

So, after the beginning of spring, when Li Jingtian traveled through Qingzhou, he only sent someone to bring some gifts to her and the children, and did not come to Peach Blossom Island in person.

However, because there are Li Jingtian's chivalrous guests on Peach Blossom Island, Li Jingtian can know everything about the wind and grass on Peach Blossom Island. Instead of waiting for others to tell Li Jingtian, it would be better for her to tell him herself, so as to save this thoughtful person from worrying, right?

After writing the letter and sealing the letter, Wang Qifang was about to ask someone to take the letter to the Xihai County Post Station, when she heard a rush of footsteps.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Wang Qifang raised her head and saw Ziyuan's face change slightly and came to the door, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, and said secretly, could something have happened again?

"Mrs. Hui, someone from the Qingyuan Wang family is here," Zi Yuan curtsied, tried to calm his breath, and added, "That person is here to report the funeral, saying that your stepmother Zheng suddenly 'died of illness' half a month ago!" ”

P: Thank you Yu Qi, Ye Zi 2003, birdne pro's little pink, thank you Ziyu Butterfly pro's reward, thank you zng022887 pro's evaluation, the current abandoned woman's monthly pass ranking is twenty-two, it is the best result after the abandoned woman is on the shelf, so what, can you help a certain Sa, so that the abandoned woman can also squeeze into the top twenty, of course, the top ten is better, give the little pink in your hand to the abandoned woman, how
