When the stars were full of stars, He Chengcai led the little brothers and sisters back with great interest, and there were a cat and three dogs who came back.

Jiang Jiu happily pointed to a big dog that looked very similar to the flag chief and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the younger brother of the flag chief, called Gouzi." He said regretfully, "The flag chief's mother died a few years ago, it's a pity." ”

After breakfast the next day, He Cheng and Jiang Zhankui were going back to Beijing. Jiang Zhankui hummed and didn't want to leave, pulling Lu Man's skirt and sprinkling it. It is rare for a little adult to have such a childish time, Lu Man and He are a little unbearable. But He Cheng still insisted very much, saying that a man should focus on his studies and business, and he must return to Beijing.

Jiang Zhankui listened to the reason that could not be refuted, so he had to go back. He reluctantly said, "Sister-in-law, you come back early, I'm alone at home, I miss you." ”

Lu Man smiled and nodded, and asked He Cheng to live in Donghui Courtyard to accompany Jiang Zhankui these days, and only let him have one master at home, and she was not at ease.

Sending them away, Lu Man took Mama Wang and others, as well as four pieces of silk and a few bags of candy to Zheng Qiang's house.

Jiang's Zhuangzi is in the south of the northwest slope village, less than half a mile away from the village. Walking slowly, you will be in the village in half an hour.

The Zheng family is no longer what Xiao Lu Man was when he went, Zheng Qiang took the jade pendant given by Jiang Zhanwei, built this courtyard, bought five acres of land, and married a daughter-in-law.

It is still a fence courtyard wall, the main house is a five-room blue brick and tile house, and the side building is also a tile house, but it is an earthen wall.

Zheng Qiang had already heard that Lu Man was looking for him, so he didn't go out and waited at home. His family has five acres of land, three acres are rented out for others to plant, and two acres are planted by Aunt Zheng and his daughter-in-law Sister-in-law Zheng. In addition to farming, he still goes into the mountains to hunt, and his life is very good, and he can be regarded as a high-class household in the village.

Aunt Zheng's mother and son warmly welcomed Lu Man in, and Lu Man told Zheng Qiang about asking him to take five people to find flowers, and then said the general direction. Because that kind of flower blooms at dusk, it must be rested during the day and searched for at night. Moreover, the area they are looking for is large, and there should be a radius of more than ten miles, and they must stay in the mountains for at least ten days.

Lu Man promised that if he didn't find it, he would give Zheng Qiang five taels of silver for his hard work, and if he found it, he would give him fifty taels of silver for his thanks.

Zheng Qiang smiled innocently, "It's easy to say." However, it is not worth so much silver from Grandma Jiang San. ”

Lu Man smiled, "Deserved, that flower is very important to me." ”

At the end of the day, Zheng Qiang took five nurses, dogs, flag chiefs, and pea yellow into the mountain.

After they left, Lu Man began to sort out the things he had discussed with Dr. Gu. She couldn't write well with a brush, so she made a few quills.

With this pen, she writes much faster.

The He family led Jiang Jiu to play in the Zhuangzi or the Zheng family, and Uncle Wang led people to inspect the fields, focusing on the planting of the 100 acres of hanging bell flowers, saying that the growth was very good.

At noon on the twenty-third day, Mama Wang ran back in a hurry and said, "Third grandma, aunt, guess who I saw in the town?" ”

Mama Wang went to the town outside the five places to buy ingredients.

"Who, besides the Zheng family, there are people we know here?" Lu Man said.

"Of course there is," Mama Wang gritted her teeth and said, "I met that slut who hugged the qin, it's really a narrow road." Ouch, she's much haggard, and she's still a little lame when she walks, and she doesn't have the fox-like ...... she used to be."

Mama Wang was quite cunning, and when she saw Baoqin, she didn't make a noise immediately, but got into the ox cart, and followed the ox cart where Baoqin was sitting all the way to Dongwa Village.

She inquired about the villagers and said that the Lu family had 200 acres of land in Dongwa Village and a yard, and Baoqin was seriously injured and sent in, because there was no good doctor to treat it, so she fell into the problem of lameness. The villagers have a bad and bad impression of Baoqin, only saying that she is very arrogant and never talks to the villagers. Some of her circumstances were told by the daughter-in-law of the head of the village who was in charge of the 200 acres of land.

Lu Man remembers that his 500 acres of paddy fields are distributed in Dongwa Village and Xiwa Village, which are five miles away from the northwest slope village.

I only heard Aunt Wu scold with an open voice, "The thing that rots the intestines, it's too bad, I'm going to beat her up at the end of the day." ”

He also became excited and said, "I'm going to ask her why she did that." I trusted her so much that I dared to hand over my daughter to her. She stole the deed, and became a woman for Lu Fangrong as she wished, why did she stop Manman from going to his father's side, so that Manman suffered so many crimes......"

As soon as he said this, He was so angry.

Lu Man felt that he had to let He, Aunt Wu, Mama Wang and others go to meet Baoqin. Let Baoqin see, everything she got by using the means has become a floating cloud. And Mama Wang and Aunt Wu, these loyal slaves, are much better off than her now. You don't have to go, you can't get excited, you can't bump it, you can't bump it.

She said, "If you want to go, take Uncle Li and Aunt Li with you, and bring a few more guards." In Dongwa Village, their Lu family has so many tenants, don't suffer a loss. ”

Aunt Li knew that the aunt and grandmother of the Lu family in Dongwa Village actually had that public case with her master, and said, "The Lu family only has 200 acres of land, and there are only a dozen tenants. And our Zhuangzi is in charge of a thousand acres of land, and there are nearly 100 tenants in several nearby villages. Moreover, the name of the eldest princess's mansion is so loud, those tenants of the Lu family dare not mess with the third grandmother and aunt. ”

Everyone ate in a hurry, and He and the others took a carriage and took a few guards to Dongwa Village.

Jiang Jiu also wanted to follow to see the excitement, but was stopped by Lu Man.

Half an hour later, He and the others arrived at Dongwa Village and went straight to the courtyard where Baoqin lived.

Uncle Li went and knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was the old man Chen of the Lu family Zhuangzi. Seeing Li Zhuangtou coming, he was a little stunned, and said with a smile, "Li Zhuangtou, what is the matter with coming here at this time?" ”

The two Zhuangtou knew each other, and because of the relationship between the main family, Chen Zhuangtou would never dare to provoke Li Zhuangtou.

Li Zhuangtou said, "My aunt and grandmother in your house have an old relationship, come and see her." ”

Chen Zhuangtou hurriedly said, "Okay, please ask your aunt and wife to wait, I'll go and talk to my aunt and grandmother." ”

Li Zhuangtou snorted coldly, "There is no need to pass it on, your aunt and grandmother used to be my aunt's wife's slave, and she can't afford it." ”

As he spoke, he pushed Chen Zhuangtou aside, several guards opened the door, and the carriage drove directly into the courtyard.

The pattern of Lujiazhuang is more similar to that of Jiangjiazhuang, and it is also a second courtyard, but it is slightly smaller.

He got out of the car and was helped by Mama Wang and Aunt Wu into the Hanging Flower Gate.

As soon as Baoqin got up and pulled his hair in the mirror, he heard a noise in the front yard. She frowned, walked out of the upper door, and shouted, "Aunt Chen, go to the outer courtyard to see, why is it so ......noisy?"
