Chapter 55

Because Zhang Li was worried about buying a mountain, and Zhang Manchu and his family trusted him, he directly handed over five hundred taels of silver to himself. [Full text reading. At that moment, he didn't dare to delay, he didn't even eat lunch, so he hurriedly took an ox cart and went to the town, and when he heard that the old man was not there, he didn't dare to stay and hurried to the county seat.

He was in such a hurry, not because he was afraid that this would not happen, but because he was afraid of pressing five hundred taels of silver in his hand for the first time. If you miss it, it will be a great sin.

In addition, now he sees Zhang Man's ability to hoard two people, and he wants to sell his personal favor well, so the matter of buying a mountain under the title deed naturally has to be done quickly. He has lived half his life, and he doesn't expect anything like getting promoted or getting rich, and it is naturally good to be able to do something for Taoshuwan Village while he is alive.

Speaking of which, Zhang Lizheng is also a thoughtful person, commonly known as old fritters. How can you not see that the reason why Zhang Manchu and Lin Baozhu bought a mountain must be an excuse, maybe the two of them really have some way to buy and sell. If that's the case, they will inevitably need manpower, and the first one who can follow the light when the time comes, isn't it their own people in Peachtree Bay Village?

He thought in a mess in his heart, and now he would go all the way to the front of the county government gate. In the end, he was used to it, and the official greeted him with a smile when he saw it, but he would also be obedient, and took a dozen copper plates and handed them over, only saying that he was helping the descendants in the village to buy fields, and let people lead them to see the county master.

There were no twists and turns in this transaction, after all, the silver was in place, and he stuffed eighty copper plates to the officials who helped to register them, which not only made people smile, but also sent him all the way to the county yamen.

Speaking of which, the errand officer who was registered in the register is actually a scholar who has passed the Xiucai exam but has not been admitted to the exam, and now that he is old, he has found such a job to support his family. It's just that in these years, there are very few people who come to the government yamen to register the population and fields, and his oil and water are naturally the least in the entire county government. Even if there are two of them occasionally, they are just poor people, and he can't accept a few copper plates squeezed out of people's teeth.

But this time is different, Zhang Lizheng is a mountain of five hundred taels of silver as soon as he makes a move, and the Zhang Manchu who wants to buy the mountain behind him must be a man with a family background. The eighty dollars, he received it with peace of mind.

After sending Zhang Lizheng away, the errand officer who had just been registered turned around and saw the two yamen brothers who had just come from the other side and had just led the way outside. He paused, pinched his sleeves secretly, and made sure that the copper plates were put away, and then walked over with a smile to talk to someone.

Talking about it like this, the three people who had just benefited couldn't help but sigh, and naturally remembered the name Zhang Manchu in their hearts. It's just that one of them always feels that the name he just heard seems very familiar, but when he thinks about it, he can't remember anything.

It's no wonder that the three of them don't know, one of them is a weak scholar, and the other is a new officer, so naturally they don't know that Zhang Manchu has a deep friendship with the head catcher of the yamen. It's also a shame that the catcher is not there, otherwise knowing that they have taken the benefits of others, I wonder how I would think that this person has embarrassed his big brother.

Leaving aside the matter of the yamen for the time being, it was only said that when Zhang Li was rushing back to the village, it was already dark. However, thinking about the title deed of a hill in his arms, he still couldn't help but call his mother-in-law to go to the thatched yard over there in Zhang Manchu.

After dinner at this time, Lin Baozhu was sitting on the kang with Zhang Manchu talking. In order to be able to plan the hill she bought, she also specially found a blackened stick, and asked her man to split a wooden board to draw a picture of how to place the tea garden.

But I didn't want the two of them to be warm and warm to each other, and they whispered to each other and imagined the future, when they suddenly heard a crackling sound outside. The sun has already set at this time, and even if they are familiar with each other, they will not come in the dark.

Lin Baozhu glanced at Zhang Manchu, who was frowning and suddenly tensed up, and was a little worried. In the past, when she was at home alone, she had never encountered someone slamming the door in the middle of the night.

Zhang Manchu was silent for a moment before he breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and saw his daughter-in-law looking nervous, and couldn't help laughing: "Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid, it seems to be Uncle Li Zheng and Aunt Li Zheng." ”

As soon as he heard that it was human, Lin Baozhu's heart flickered and suddenly put it down. Seeing that the man was still laughing at himself, he immediately pouted unhappily and said, "Which one is scared, it's not that your cold appearance just now scared me." ”

In fact, Zhang Manchu was not deliberately nervous just now, but he had encountered a wild wolf entering the mountain before, although the wolves could not find a village to eat and go hungry in the winter. But I don't dare to say any of them, there will be no beasts and beasts out of the mountains this summer. At most, very little.

This is also the reason why he is a little worried that his daughter-in-law is at home alone, in fact, if it weren't for Xia Xiaoyuan's trouble, he would have thought about saving some money to rent a house in the town to live.

But now that my daughter-in-law cares a lot about the mountain and the tea trees on it, it is unrealistic to think that I will take my daughter-in-law to the town to find a living.

Thinking that the yard was dark, Zhang Manchu didn't let his daughter-in-law go out, and strode into the yard to look at the courtyard gate. said that it was a courtyard gate, but it was a fenced yard, that is, at this moment, he suddenly felt that his home seemed to be very unsafe. If you run into someone with bad intentions, you don't have to walk at all, you can just climb over the fence and enter the yard.

He frowned, thinking secretly in his heart, and then he had a plan.

The people outside were relieved when they saw Zhang Manchu coming out, and they looked at the appearance, and the two of them hadn't fallen asleep yet.

After entering the house, Lin Baozhu had already put on his shoes and got up, and asked Zhang Lizheng to sit down with Lizheng's daughter-in-law before Zhang Luo went to make tea. But he was stopped by Li Zheng, he came to get down to business, and it was already dark, and it wasn't a matter for them to stay longer, so they got straight to the point and brought it up to buy the mountain to do the title deed.

"Because there is no household registration document for your daughter-in-law in the county office, this title deed can only fall on your head." Zhang Lizheng handed over the things in his hand and put them on the table, and said to Zhang Manchu, "I didn't think about this matter, when you got married, you only asked the patriarch to add a name to the family tree, but you didn't go to the town to do the paperwork for you." ”

In fact, what he said sounded good, but in fact, he was disgusted with the vicious Zhang Manchu at that time, and he couldn't wait to be out of sight and out of mind, where would he think of helping the two of them go to the yamen to enter the paperwork? What's more, Lin Baozhu has no road introduction, and no identity documents, so how simple is it to go to the yamen to register and apply for household registration?

The Tao inside is not said, but Zhang Manchu can guess a thing or two. He glanced at his daughter-in-law, and saw that his daughter-in-law's eyes lit up because of Lizheng's sentence that he had done the title deed, and it was even more difficult to hide his surprise when he saw the title deed.

He was really afraid that his daughter-in-law's accountant would do this, after all, the matter of buying the mountain was proposed by the daughter-in-law, and he also thought about putting the mountain under his daughter-in-law's name at the earliest.

"Uncle Li Zheng, you also blame me about this, I'll go to the yamen when I turn around." Since he started business with his daughter-in-law, although his skin is still terrifying and fierce, he is also a little more tactful in receiving people and things. At the very least, when I saw Zhang Lizheng's overtures, I also knew that I should go.

If it was put in the past, he was really too lazy to deal with people, and it was better to compare with his brothers with real guns and knives, no matter how bad he was, he could save his energy to go into the mountains to hunt some game.

gave the title deed, Zhang Lizheng looked at the little couple and stopped talking. In the end, before leaving, he gave Zhang Manchu a look, and asked him to send himself a time, saying that he saw a person in the county today, and from a distance he seemed to look like Yueniang, who had been missing for a long time.

Hearing this name, which he hadn't heard for a long time, Zhang Manchu was stunned, and his heart, which was originally quite happy, suddenly set off waves. But in the end, he just frowned and said, "Uncle, don't say it anymore, my mother is no longer here, and there is no point in saying that." ”

Although his tone was cold, his slightly lonely look still made people feel uncomfortable in his heart. is a terrifying tough guy, but now he is upset because of a name.

Zhang Lizheng saw him say this, and couldn't help sighing, Yueniang was indeed not authentic at the beginning, and it can even be said that she hated her heart and was not worthy of being a person. Xu is such a ruthless woman is rare, coupled with what Zhang Manchu said at Wang's funeral, few people in the village mention her.

Now that I talk about it, I just look at Zhang Manchu's prosperous life, thinking about it for many years, after all, if you don't make enemies, you won't make enemies. How did he know that this matter was still taken to heart by him?

But also, if you meet such a girl at home, even if you can't die, you have to break off your relationship. A character like Zhang Manchu, who still wanted to support her earlier, was also benevolent and righteous.

Zhang Lizheng's daughter-in-law on the side also sighed, but after all, it was someone's sadness, and in the face of Zhang Manchu's evil star, she didn't talk about it so unscrupulously.

After sending off the two of them, Zhang Manchu eased his thoughts about all kinds of unpleasant tastes before entering the house. It's just a blink of an eye, and the man with such a bitter face just now has returned to the appearance of a loyal dog in the past.

Fortunately, Lin Baozhu didn't care about the look he was giving him, and the man on the left and right wouldn't deceive himself.

Seeing Zhang Man hoarding into the house, Lin Baozhu raised the thin land deed document in his hand, and jumped off the kang excitedly. What could be more joyful than being able to buy a tea mountain and get a tea plantation?

Zhang Manchu, who was still preoccupied, couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw his daughter-in-law pacing back and forth this time. Thinking in his heart, there was a smile in his sharp eyes, and his cold heart just now softened a lot.

Whatever else it is, now that the daughter-in-law is by her side, that's good. And now he doesn't know what kind of incidents and twists and turns will be caused by this incident that he has hidden for him in the future.
