The so-called little Zhuangzi in Xu's mouth is actually not small at all.

Dongli was helped out of the carriage by Danzhu and Ink, and the people who had already received the news were already waiting at the gate of Zhuangzi, which was the first time they had seen the serious master, and they all turned out the clothes they wore during the festival one by one, and dressed up in a new look, hoping to leave a good impression on the master's family.

The owner of this Zhuangzi used to be far away in the south of the Yangtze River, the master is the chief manager of the Zhuangzi, it is said that he is the son of the master's family, and has been responsible for taking care of the things in the north, and the rent collected by other Zhuangzi is sixty percent rent, and there is not much ration left after paying the rent, a year is not worried about food and clothing, this is a good thing that other Zhuangzi dare not think of. In case the owner is unhappy and takes back the land, where can I find such generous conditions?

Therefore, these honest countrymen all held their breath and looked at the girls who got off the bus and walked over, looking at the style of their whole bodies and the materials of their clothes, one by one, they did not dare to come out, lest one accidentally anger the master.

Zhuangzi's chief steward surnamed Zheng, known as Zheng Wang'er, had already taken his family to wait there at this time, and as soon as he saw Dongli get out of the car, he immediately came up with his family, and complimented him with a smile: "Oh, this is the eldest lady, it's like a fairy in the sky, but it opened the eyes of our people." ”

His daughter-in-law couldn't stop praising him, Dong Li couldn't help blushing when he heard it, and he couldn't help but blush, where could he see it clearly through the curtain? Dan Zhu smiled and coughed: "Steward Zheng, our young lady is going to stay here for one night, is the room ready?" ”

"It's been ready for a long time!" Zheng Wang'er bowed her body and led the way in front: "When I received the news, I asked my family to clean it up quickly, it's not as good as the house, Miss see if there is anything wrong, just ask her to clean up at any time." ”

Mrs. Zheng's white and pure face was full of smiles: "Miss just call me, I can do anything, and I can make sure that Miss lives comfortably." ”

Dong Liang had already walked in front of the group of anxious countrymen, and swept his eyes, these people had rough skin and weathered faces, and they seemed to be people who were used to doing farm work, and no one dared to raise their heads to look carefully when they saw the young heroine, they all looked honest, and couldn't help nodding secretly: "Steward Zheng, tell everyone to disperse, what should you do, seeing that the wheat harvest is approaching, everyone is busy, there is no need to put on this pomp." ”

Steward Zheng naturally agreed again and again, and waved his hand at everyone: "Everyone disperse, our master's family is kind, as long as everyone does their own thing, it will be the same as before." ”

After getting the assurance of the chief steward, and seeing that the little master seemed to be a kind person, the big guys were relieved, and soon they all dispersed, and the east fence was right, the wheat harvest was about to begin, and after a few rains, the wheat would be ripe after a few more suns, and the time would be opened.

The Zhuangzi is not large, and that is for the size of the manor. This Zhuangzi is indeed not big, but there is a lot of land around it. While walking inside, Dong Li listened to the Zheng family's introduction to her, the land around this Zhuangzi with a radius of dozens of tilts belonged to her own family, and those just now were her own tenant farmers.

Said to a weeping flower arch, climbed on the green seedlings of the creeper, under the sun green shiny, at a glance I feel cool, into the arch is a small courtyard, cleaned very clean, a leafy pear tree in the middle of the yard, hung with green pears, under the tree there is a whole set of stone tables and stone benches.

Dong Li just took a look at it and liked it, this place is good, clean and simple, there is no overly delicate carving, there is a rustic taste in nature, so he nodded to the Zheng family: "Yes, you have a heart." ”

The Zheng family was so happy that they couldn't put their mouths together: "Miss likes it, I'll arrange to cook, what does Miss like, what are the taboos, there are no good things in our countryside, don't let Miss be wronged." ”

"I don't have any taboos." Dong Li shook his head: "You just look at it, you don't have to be too delicate, just make it light, I also learn from people to follow the local customs, and when I get here, I naturally want to taste the farmer's food." ”

The Zheng family was instructed to hurry up.

"The young master probably already knows about the young lady's coming to Zhuangzi at this time." Danzhu and Shui Mo settled down the things they brought, brewed a pot of good tea under the pear tree, brought out a few snacks, and spread them on the stone bench with a cushion, and then invited Dongli to sit: "Maybe it's like thunder!" ”

Dong Li thought about his brother's expression after learning that he had sneaked away, and couldn't help but laugh too, and casually picked up a crystal preserved fruit and put it in his mouth: "Tell him to jump, I can't see it anyway." He's been busy investigating cases these days, and I don't think his enthusiasm will dissipate for a while, and maybe he won't fade when we go back. ”

If he had known that the Xu family had Zhuangzi land here, he would not have had to go to the Zhao family in the first place, and the original owner of the harm died, although he got the opportunity to be reborn because of this, but it was a pity that the girl who was only fourteen years old was like a flower and a bone.

As soon as Zheng Wang'er saw her daughter-in-law coming out of that courtyard, she hurriedly ran over and pulled her away: "How is it?" Do you know what the young lady is here for? ”

The Zheng family frowned, took out his hand and straightened his hair: "You remembered me for this effort, why don't you ask your little goblins to rush to serve?" ”

Zheng Wang'er accompanied her smiling face to pinch her daughter-in-law's shoulder: "Look at what you said, what are they?" What is on the table? This reception of the master is such a big thing, you should be qualified for such a status of the main room. ”

"Hmph, Death Phase!" The Zheng family poked her husband's head with her finger: "I don't care how I usually put those little goblins on the top of my heart, I can't make a mistake this time." Hurry up and find a place to send them away, so that the young lady will see it, but there is nowhere to explain. ”

Zheng Wang'er suddenly hesitated: "Isn't this okay?" For a while, where is there a place to place them? Where will Miss take care of our family's family affairs again, the lady is too worried. ”

A trace of coldness passed through Zheng Niangzi's face, and she snorted and opened her husband's hand: "I'm for your good, you don't want to think about it, our master only has a room in his life, and then he died of dystocia, and the lady hates the most is the man's three wives and four concubines, if you know that you have several beautiful concubines in this little housekeeper, and you look like a grandmother in brocade clothes, what will she think?" Also, how do you explain the origin of all this money for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation? ”

Zheng Wang'er's head crackled and beads of sweat fell, he saw that the master's family had been in the Jiangnan area, so he slowly became bold to seek personal interests for himself, and later married a few concubines who were like flowers and jade, and the money was even more, and he originally lived the life of a landlord, but he thought that the master's family would suddenly come over.

"So, what about that?" Zheng Wang'er immediately panicked, and pulled his daughter-in-law to ask for ideas: "You have always had the most ideas, hurry up and think of countermeasures for me, if it is discovered, neither of us will survive, and the subsidies you gave to your mother's family are all from Zhuangzi!" ”

"Look at your little bit of interest!" Mrs. Zheng snorted him unremittingly, "How could the old lady fall in love with such a useless thing as you?" What are you afraid of? She is a little girl, come to see on a whim, will she care about anything? There is a way, but I'm afraid you can't bear it. ”

"How? Say it quickly! Zheng Wang'er hurriedly flattered her daughter-in-law and beat her back: "I knew that you must have an idea, lady." ”

"If you are willing, quickly move your concubines out and put them in a reliable house so that people can watch them and don't let them out." As soon as Zheng Niangzi said this, she saw her husband change color, and sneered: "Don't you think I'm jealous?" You don't want to think about it, just the noisy spirit of those little goblins, sooner or later it will come to the master, and it will be up to you to explain it when the time comes. ”

Zheng Wang'er silently changed color, her concubines are all young and beautiful, but they all like to make trouble, they like to compare what they eat, wear, and flowers, and if there is anything unsatisfactory, they will come to themselves, and it used to be, but now the young lady lives in Zhuangzi, but she can't tell them to toss too much, and what her mother-in-law said is also reasonable, and finally gritted her teeth: "You're right, I'll arrange for someone to send them out, avoid them first." ”

Zheng Niangzi looked at her husband's figure running away in a hurry, and sneered: "Have you inquired clearly?" That little slut hasn't changed his wash this month? ”

"Slaves don't dare to deceive grandma." A groveling mother-in-law behind him hurriedly swore an oath: "That little slut probably has some guesses himself, and it is estimated that he will tell Uncle Zheng when he is free in the next few days." ”

"Cheap thing!" Zheng Niangzi gritted her teeth for a moment: "Is it all arranged?" It's rare for Miss to come here, it's God helping me, if something goes wrong, I'll ask you. ”

The mother-in-law patted her chest and promised, Zheng Niangzi pursed her lips: "Let's go, let's go and prepare a meal for the young lady, the young lady of this big family is also strange, she can't live in a good mansion, and she came to this rural place, I really don't know what to think." ”

But it just so happened that she got the opportunity to send down a few goblins that Zheng Wang'er's dead ghost was protecting herself, and when she was over her addiction and left, she was still the emperor of the soil here.
