Chapter 064 went to Haicheng in person

With the crackling sound of the board, the mournful screams and begging for mercy of the two porters became smaller and smaller, and the struggling bodies on the bench slowly lost their vitality, but the experts on both sides did not stop, still holding on to the sturdy plank.

The girls, mothers-in-law, and servants in the courtyard, except for those who served closely by the master's side, everyone else was strictly ordered by the wife to surround them, and none of them were allowed to be absent to witness the entire execution process.

At first, everyone thought that Mrs. was just angry with outsiders, and used these two unlucky porters as punching bags, just hit them twice. But the more everyone looks at it, the more wrong it becomes, how can the four family members who implement the family law only hit the board but don't shout the number?

When they saw that the two porters were beaten with only a trace of breath, and the second housekeeper still did not let go, all the servants suddenly realized that the wife was asking for the lives of the two little servants

Thinking of this possibility, everyone's faces suddenly turned pale, and when they looked at the two porters, they saw that the board still fell on their bodies as usual, but except for the natural convulsions of their bodies, the two of them had no movement, and the hands that were originally screwed behind their backs by the family members also hung loosely on both sides of the bench.

"Puff"

Seeing the two young men jumping around, beaten to death, and holding Aunt Su's Aunt Fang and Chen Pozi, their faces were full of fright, and their fat bodies trembled like chaff, and finally their feet were weak and they collapsed to the ground.

The other subordinates were also full of horror, but they didn't expect that the most kind wife in the past would be so ruthless.

In addition, the two porters did not do anything harmful, the things they did, others are not easy to say, at least many of the people present have also done it, and now seeing the tragic death of their companions, those who have done bad things are all scared.

"Alas, it seems that the inner courtyard of the Zhao family is still the final say, no matter how much Aunt Su tosses, she is just a favored concubine, once the master gets angry, she is nothing"

In the crowd of onlookers, many people ran to hug Su's thighs because Aunt Su was in charge of the inner courtyard, and even clinged to Aunt Su and did a lot of arrogant things. Now that they saw Mrs. Zhao's thunderous methods with their own eyes, those people glanced at the pale and crumbling Aunt Su uneasily, and began to choose the object of the stammering again.

Of course, Aunt Su didn't know the thoughts of these people, at this moment she was looking at the executioners in the courtyard in a daze, as well as the blood mist that flew with the ups and downs of the wooden plank, as if the whole person had been frightened by the bloody scene, only the clenched hands revealed her emotions at this time.

"How? Is the second young master here? ”

Aunt Su saw that her personal big girl Xiuzhu quietly came over, and hurriedly lowered her voice and asked.

"No," Xiuzhu stood carefully behind Aunt Su, and also replied in a low voice: "Li Changbo didn't talk to the master for a few words, and the master asked the young master for family law." Now, the second young master is thinking about the wall in the ancestral hall. Listening to the old man guarding the ancestral hall, the old man punished the second young master to face the wall for three days, and the second young master was not allowed to step out of the ancestral hall for half a step during these three days, and no one was allowed to visit the second young master, otherwise, no matter who it was, they would all be driven out of the Zhao family."

When Aunt Su heard this, her body couldn't help but shake twice. She clenched her fists hard, her nails pierced into her palms fiercely, and then asked with difficulty: "What about the second aunt, she didn't go out to see the princess, why didn't she come to help?" ”

"Second, the second aunt's wife, she, she said that she gave her the gold silk plate flower double butterfly golden hairpin you gave her last time, and there is no decent jewelry when you go out now, if you-"

Xiuzhu remembered Zhao Yanniang's greedy appearance, and said with some embarrassment.

"Enough, I know," Aunt Su closed her eyes helplessly, and secretly scolded the mean, greedy, and selfish Zhao Yanniang in her heart, she had honored her so much jewelry and fabrics in the past, but now when it was time to use her, she couldn't do anything. didn't help her with a serious matter, and was embarrassed to ask her for something?

"Young aunt and grandmother, my wife is about to go back to the inner courtyard, what should we do?"

Xiuzhu saw the despair on Aunt Su's face and asked worriedly.

"Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to run, now I can only rely on myself," Aunt Su bit her lip, and her unfocused eyes suddenly saw a familiar back, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind.

In Qingquan Villa, Wang Qifang was nesting in the sunny conservatory to learn embroidery with Mother Li, who was good at needlework, and Mama Qin led Mei Niang in.

"Ho, my sister is so interested," Mei Niang is a frequent visitor to Qingquan Villa, and when she entered the door, she didn't need Wang Qifang to entertain her, so she sat on the chaise longue opposite Wang Qifang, touched the bamboo skewers on the small table next to the couch, and inserted the diced apples into her mouth, "Well, it's delicious, sister, I really wonder, how can it be the same apple, my father-in-law shipped it from Qingzhou and your Zhuangzi are not the same taste." ”

"What's the difference, is it possible that apples can still taste pear?" Wang Qifang avoided answering Mei Niang's Nth guess, she rubbed her somewhat sour neck, put the half-embroidered belly pocket into the needlework dustpan, and asked Li's mother to take it out with her.

"Here, there are a total of 230 acres of sunny fertile land, and a flat hillside, which is also facing the south of the sun."

Eating a few pieces of apples neatly, Mei Niang wiped the corners of her mouth and fingers with a handkerchief, then took out a roll of white paper from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Wang Qifang as she spoke.

"Two hundred and thirty acres? I remember not more than 170 acres. Wang Qifang looked at Mei Niang suspiciously, but this girl smiled and didn't answer, so she had to take the blank paper and unfold it, "Hey, why are there more than sixty acres?" Mama Qin, what's going on here? ”

Seeing the question mark on Wang Qifang's face, Mama Qin said with a smile: "Thanks to Grandma Qian Ershao, it was she who transferred the sixty acres of fertile land under her name to you along with the one hundred and seventy acres of cultivated land. In this way, the whole land is connected, and it just so happens that there is a pond of three or four acres in the sixty acres of land of Qian Ershao's grandmother, and it is most convenient to water the land."

"Sister, how can I ask for your land." Wang Qifang listened to Mama Zhao's words, and hurriedly returned the title deed to Mei Niang, "Besides, this price is not right, my 170 acres are all semi-wasteland, because it is leaning on the hillside, the price is set according to the wasteland." Your sixty acres are different, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I heard Mama Qin say that those lands are all high-yield fertile fields with loose and deep soil, which are twice as expensive as ordinary cultivated land...... Such a valuable thing, my sister can't accept it."

"Hey, what's not to accept here, let's not say anything else, Sister Shan Chong treats me as my own sister, the affection between us is not worth the sixty acres of broken land?" Mei Niang's expression didn't look like a fake, she stretched out her chubby hand, and directly stuffed the title deed to Wang Qifang, seeing that Wang Qifang was still very persistent, she had to say: "Okay, okay, I didn't give you this land for nothing, my sister didn't buy land to build a plantation, hehe, this sixty acres of rights should be invested in me as a shareholder, and when my sister's plantation gets silver, give me dividends."

"Stake? My sister didn't ask me what kind of plantation I was going to build, so she was willing to take 60 acres of land as a shareholder, and she was not afraid that I would use it to grow vegetables and food? When Wang Qifang heard this, she felt a little funny, so she tilted her head and asked.

"It's good to grow food, anyway, I only recognize one point, even if my sister grows wild vegetables, it is the best."

Mei Niang didn't care at all, she originally rented out the sixty acres of land, and she couldn't get much silver in a year. Coincidentally, a few days ago, Wang Qifang wanted to buy land, and asked her to help ask if there was suitable arable land nearby, the price did not matter, but it must be a flat, sunny slope.

After thinking about it for a long time, under the reminder of Xianggong, Mei Niang suddenly remembered that she still had a dowry of sixty acres of land under her name, and the location happened to be at the junction of Qingyang and Haicheng.

After Wang Qifang heard about it, she was also very interested, and it happened that Mama Qin had something to go back to Haicheng, so she asked Mama Qin to follow the housekeeper of the Qian family to see the land. When Mama Qin came back, Wang Qifang was very satisfied with the situation of the land, so she asked Qian Zhixin to help buy the 170 acres of cultivated land.

It's just that I didn't expect that Mei Niang would add her dowry field to it.

"Okay, then I'll count you as a share," in the face of Mei Niang's kindness, Wang Qifang didn't say that it was fake.

Besides, with the current conditions to build a cotton plantation, the more powerful alliances the better, the Qian family is not necessarily a prestigious family in Dazhou, but it is definitely a snake in the Qingyang area.

Wang Qifang solemnly picked up the title deed and said seriously: "My brother will settle the account, and I will count the sixty acres of land for my sister." It's not that my sister is touching the light of my sister, but this business can be done not only by land, but also needs good seeds and skilled craftsmen. Therefore, although the sister's land accounts for a quarter of the total land, the shares can only give you 10%"

"Okay, my sister looks at the distribution."

Mei Niang still had a smile on her face that she didn't care, but she was secretly surprised in her heart, what kind of crop is so troublesome and still needs a technician?

Speaking of technicians, Mei Niang suddenly remembered the weaver girl Wang Qifang asked to inquire about a few days ago, "By the way, sister, that Wu, have you found it." ”

"Well, I found it, speaking of this, I really want to thank your second young master. If it weren't for the wide connections in Qingzhou, my sister would really not be able to find her on her own. ”

"Sister, what is this Wu capable of, I heard from Xianggong that although she is the only daughter of Wu Tiangong, a cotton weaver, she does not know cotton textile technology, after all, when Wu Tiangong died, she was only five or six years old."

Mei Niang said puzzled, but when she mentioned cotton, a thought flashed through her mind, but the speed was too fast, and she didn't catch it.

"Hmm, I'm not sure yet, I'll have to wait until Qingfeng brings people back and asks."

Wang Qifang is also looking forward to it, I don't know if Wu will recognize it after seeing the drawings. As long as she recognizes it, it proves that she must have obtained the true inheritance of her father Wu Tiangong.

"What? She asked me to bring the carpenter as well? ”

Wang Qifang never thought that after Qingfeng came back, the Wu family did not bring it back, but brought back such a ridiculous sentence.

"Back to the young grandmother, that's what the Wu family said"

Qingfeng was also a little embarrassed, she couldn't understand what the Wu family thought, her young grandmother didn't dislike her notoriety, and invited her to work, but she didn't expect that she was still shy and asked the young grandmother to invite her "adulterer" too.

"By the way, did you show her the drawings? What did she say? Wang Qifang frowned and thought for a while and asked.

"Oh, I showed it to her, she was very excited after reading it, and said what 'three spindles spinning wheel', and asked the young grandmother who she was and how she had this drawing"

"Okay, I know, you go and call Mama Qin"

Hearing this, Wang Qifang has basically determined that Wu is the only person in Da Zhou who knows cotton worsted technology, and it is estimated that he can also draw a complete design of the three-spindle spinning wheel. For the smooth development of the cotton business, she must receive this person from her account.

It's just that......

After a while, Mama Qin walked in, "Young grandma, you called me?" ”

"Well, when Mama returned to Haicheng a few days ago, the third uncle once said that the third uncle would be able to rush back at the end of the month, right?" Wang Qifang saw Mama Qin nodding, and continued to instruct: "I am going to leave for Haicheng tomorrow to say hello to my third uncle and aunt."
