Chapter 37: The Dark Tide (Revision)

Lou Yi buys, really just a small Zhuangzi, a total of only two in, however, by the mountains and rivers, the environment is very good, red walls and green tiles, full of local scenery, but also a bit of elegance.

Xiaoru got out of the car, first scattered the obedient and Duoduo them, and was held back for several days, the two guys were already impatient, and rushed up the mountain like smoke and flowers, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, until the little panda who was always lazy and unwilling to move, just opened his eyes, twisted his body, nested in the car and went to sleep.

Xiaoru shook her head, didn't pay attention to these few, walked around the Zhuangzi, and took a closer look, there were a few pieces of fragmented fertile land around, adding up to only a dozen acres, some of which were rented to Zhang Wang's two families to plant, and there were about five acres of land close to the house, which were not rented out for the time being.

In addition, there are a lot of barren mountains, there are many mountains, and there are probably no crops to grow, so it is cheap, Xiao Lou simply bought more, and what he can see is a deserted fish pond, the water in it has been exhausted, only black silt remains, next to the fish pond, a few weeping willows are dotted, and the bathroom and toilet have also been changed according to their own style, and there are traces of recent construction.

"What do you think of this fishpond? Keep the old mosquitoes, why don't you fill it in? "Mother-in-law and Fu'er have been sent to rest, the old man is old, and now his body is not as good as that of a young man, he has worked hard all the way, he is already tired at this time, Fu'er is young, he had too much fun just now, and he dozed off at this time, only Xiaoru took Meng Nier Xiaoyan and followed Lou Yi to look around.

"What a waste to fill in! Let's just clean it up, the silt inside can fertilize the field, fill it with water, feed some ducks and geese, plant lotus, and add a scene to the home, how good? Xiao Ru silently calculated, this house has to be greatly changed, at least they have to build a medicine garden, although there is no glass, but they still have to get a greenhouse, design a greenhouse, otherwise many medicinal materials will not be able to be planted, rubbing her fingers, Xiao Ru thought about going back to draw the design drawing, although she has not learned painting seriously, but it is still possible to draw a simple design drawing that others can understand.

"Isn't it...... Sister Xiaoru, is it possible that you still want to live here permanently? Lou Yi blinked and said with a wry smile, "The old man has already said that he wants to choose land on the side of the mountain and build a big mansion, and in the future, our family, the old man, plus Ding Feng, will live next to each other. ”

Xiao Ru nodded, she admired Gongsun Zhi very much, the old man was wise and skilled, he was really a wise person, he wanted not to be lonely in his old age, and he didn't want to be separated from the two apprentices, but he also knew that he needed to leave private space for his own apprentices, so he wanted to live next to each other, which was intimate and not too much.

"In that case, I think the environment here is also good, discuss with the old man, just wrap up the mountains behind and build the house, if the old man finds other better places, you can go elsewhere...... It doesn't matter if you fix it here, even if you buy an industry, even if you don't live in the future, sell it again, repair it better, and the price is still high. ”

Lou Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with kindness: "Okay, listen to you, let's go, go back and rest first, you come all the way, you're probably tired, wait until tomorrow to see the next person in the family, hehe, Ding Feng and I are both away all year round, and the family population is not large, if you don't think it's enough, you can find someone to buy a few more maids or something." ”

Xiaoru was also tired, so she simply went back to wash and sleep, and had a good night's sleep, and early the next morning, Meng Nier and Xiaoyan had already put up a screen, waiting for her to summon the next person.

After a while, two daughters-in-law, a cook in charge of the kitchen and an account room, and a housekeeper all stood respectfully outside the door, Xiaoru said a few words through the screen, anyway, it was to appease, by the way, let people know that there is a hostess in the house, and then explain that Meng Nier will be responsible for checking the accounts in the future, Xiaoyan manages the kitchen or something, this audit and management, that is, the big picture, the specific affairs are still the original gang of people in charge, this everyone is clear, to no resistance.

These people were personally picked out by Gongsun Zhi as soon as he returned to Beijing, and his heart can stand the test, since Xiaoru is destined to be the hostess of the Lou family, they will only help, and will not cause chaos, so Xiaoru is very light, and let people go down after rewarding the silver.

After doing this, Xiaoru went to the old lady to ask for peace, by the way, practiced calligraphy, embroidered, played cards with her mother-in-law, told stories to Fu'er, and began to kill time.

However, not everyone is so welcoming to the hostess, there is a good saying, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there is struggle.

In the city, next to the mansion of the national teacher given by the saint, it is the original house of Lou Yi and Ding Feng, the homes of the two are also adjacent, and even the backyard has opened a small door, which is open, saying that it is two families, in fact, it is similar to one family, even the subordinates are a set of team management, even the moon is opened by the national teacher's mansion, Lou Yi and Ding Feng's Yulu, Gongsun Zhiquan is saved for the two of them, and it is about waiting for the two of them to become a family in the future, and then give them to use.

Ding Feng is different from Lou Yi, Lou Yi ran away from home by himself and was rescued by Gongsun Zhi, so there is no one around, all his diet and daily life are Gongsun Zhi sent someone to take care of him, but Ding Feng is the widow of Gongsun Zhi's old friend, his parents died when he was seven years old, so he was taken by Gongsun Zhi to take care of him, and there was a nurse with him.

Ding Feng's nurse has a strict family, the child died early, and her husband died early, so she really loves Ding Feng, but her personality is not very good, she is greedy and petty, but Gongsun Zhi looks at Ding Feng's face, even if she knows that she always withholds the girl's silver, steals the bottles and cans at home and sells them, she doesn't care much about her, the big deal is to tell the housekeeper to give the girls more rewards and compensation.

Now Lou Yi has married his daughter-in-law, and he has taken the old lady and daughter-in-law to live, Gongsun Zhi attaches great importance to their family, even if there is something in the palace to keep him busy, but he still remembers to post money and things, and ask every day, Yan's mother looked at all this, and always felt that in Gongsun Zhi's heart, Ding Feng was not as good as Lou Yi, so in the future, Gongsun Zhi went, wouldn't the family business ...... There was a little nervousness in her heart, and she felt uncomfortable, plus she felt that Lou Yi was a big threat to her children from the beginning, so she couldn't help but fidget at this time.

Therefore, as soon as Ding Feng entered the door, he was blocked by his own nurse.

"Brother Ding, I heard that Brother Xiaolou's daughter-in-law has come back?"

"Yes, the old lady and her younger siblings are here, and I will go to Zhuangzi for dinner tonight." Of course, Ding Feng didn't see the little bit of his nurse's thoughts, so he said a few words casually, thinking in his heart, Sister Xiaoru is here, the first thing must be to marry Xiaolou Baitang, and the gift he gave must be special, or go to the shop opened by Hu Shangmen to see, what are the treasures and so on......

"Brother Ding, will Brother Xiaolou be separated from each other in the future?" Yan's mother secretly pondered, if he was well divided, now Gongsun Zhi is still there, Lou Yi is just an apprentice, not a son, this time to divide the family, even if Gongsun Zhi is biased, but he can take away his own money over the years, even if Gongsun Zhi makes up a little, it is estimated that it is not much, if Brother Ding does not leave the National Teacher's Mansion, in the future, this huge family business, will not be his own Brother Ding?

"Ah, let's live in the village outside the city for a while, and then build a new house after we are busy with the things at hand, and then the old man will live with us, and it will be considered to be settled. Ding Feng didn't understand the meaning of the nurse at all, he didn't care about the authenticity, when he talked about the back, he was a little relieved, the old man was stable, he was old, he was always running around, and his body couldn't stand it, he should have settled down for a few days.

When Yan's mother heard this, her face was blank, she frowned, and it was not a separation for a long time, in fact, Gongsun Zhi, Ding Feng, and Lou Yi never thought that they would one day break up, because they were not a family in the first place, although the relationship between them was better than that of a family, but from the beginning, Gongsun Zhi had her own plans for her future life, and this Yan's mother couldn't see the situation clearly.

Mother Yan watched Ding Feng go out in a hurry, sighed, since it is not a separation, then you have to keep an eye on it, you must not let all the old man's silver flow into Brother Xiaolou's pocket, the corner of her eyes crossed the window, and suddenly saw the woman who was wearing an old jacket, but she was surrounded by soft and weak, coquettish and amorous woman, her heart jumped, this person may be of great use......
