Chapter 90: Questioning
When the coachman drove the carriage to the gate of the house in the east of the city, the gate of the house was closed, and it looked the same as the last time he came.
Cui Ping raised her hand to knock on the door, but before her hand could touch the door knocker, the door was opened from the inside.
It has always been Cuizhu's side, and Cuiping is still coming for the first time, including the woman who opened the door, and it is also the first time to take a photo.
Psychologically guessed that it should be the servant bought by the girl, she didn't know the person, but she didn't hear Cuizhu muttering about their respective situations.
Cui Ping asked, "Are you from the Zhao family, or from the Zhou family?" Without waiting for the woman to reply, she said, "Come and see, girl, first open the middle door so that the carriage can enter." ”
The girl's own house naturally opened the middle door and was welcomed in.
Cuiping has been a servant of the Zheng Mansion all the year round, and the girl is still young, so she wants to help stand up in front of these subordinates.
Li Qiusui sat in the carriage and did not say anything to stop Cuiping.
After delaying for such a short time, there was a voice in the house asking, "Who is Aunt Zhao?" Who's out there? Why don't you come in? ”
Aunt Zhao didn't bother to answer the questions of the people in the house, and said with a smiling face to Cuiping: "I'll open the middle door and invite the girl in." ”
turned around, and shouted into the house, "Little stone, quickly call your father and mother to come over with the head of my family, and say that the girl is here!" ”
Li Qiusui looked out of the car window and saw a little boy of 18 or 9 years old, who first poked out half of his head and looked out, and when he met her gaze, he slipped back and retracted his head, and his shouts echoed in the house.
"Uncle Zhao - dad - mother, the girl is here, the girl is here!"
Li Qiusui got out of the carriage and told the coachman to wait outside.
The Zhao family stepped forward to kowtow and salute, "Girl, you can count yourself empty, let's all look forward to it!" ”
Li Qiusui motioned to Cui Ping to help the person up, "I haven't been free, I should have come to see you a long time ago." How about it, is there anything missing in the house, just say it to Cuizhu, and I'll have someone send it to you. ”
The Zhao family came over to help people, and Li Qiusui waved his hand and motioned for her to come over.
The Zhao family said, "There is no shortage of everything in the house, Sister Cuizhu has a good temper and is easy to talk, and she wants to be in front of us." It's just that so many of us are guarding such a yard, and we don't have anything to do all day......"
The group talked and walked inside.
Before he was about to cross the threshold, the kid who had just shouted led the people to hurriedly greet him, and without waiting for Li Qiusui to see their faces clearly, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed and shouted to the girl.
"Get up, let's go in and talk."
Li Qiusui walked inside by himself, and the servants behind him all got up and followed.
It was not too early, and she didn't go into the house, so she turned back on the steps of Langyan.
Zhao Da stood at the front, half-hanging his head, leading everyone to listen to Li Qiusui's instructions.
Li Qiusui beckoned Cuizhu's younger brother Xiaobao over, "Has your sister gone back?" When will you be back? ”
Don't look at Xiaobao is only three or four years old, but his speech is very clever, "My sister has already returned, this should be to the Zheng family, she said before leaving, girl, you are not free today, you will not come over." ”
"Then how are you living here, do you want to go home and have a look?"
Xiao Bao's head shook like a rattle, "I don't want to go home!" It's good here, Brother Xiaoshi will take me to play, and Sister Qingya will also cook food for us, anyway, the little ones don't want to go home. ”
Li Qiusui smiled, "Then you are obedient, just stay here, I will often let your sister come to see you." ”
"Thank you, girl!" Xiaobao has a decent salute.
Looks like someone has taught it.
Li Qiusui set his eyes on Zhao Da, "I'll let you go to Zhuangzi to have a look, how do you think?" ”
Zhao Da hung his head from beginning to end, and only replied after hearing the words and doing a salute, "Returning to the girl, the five hundred acres of fields in the Zhuangzi are all high-grade fertile fields, and the current season is planted with winter wheat, which should be harvested in April and May of the next year, and then planted a crop of late rice, so that the harvest should not be bad when there is no bad weather." The matter of the head of the village, the little one also asked, he is quite honest and serious, his family is no less than 20 people, large and small, and his sons alone planted 100 acres of land, and the harvest is comparable to that of other families. The other tenant families were honest and dutiful in the past. You don't come, the first half of the day I told the little one with Cuizhu girl, although there are only two seasons of harvest in Zhuangzi, there are fish ponds, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, the housekeeper of Guo Mansion only let people pull away the autumn grain. It's cold now, a few days ago I heard them say that it's time to start the pond, chickens and ducks are easy to deal with, in previous years, they were directly sold to the restaurants in Fucheng, cattle and sheep, they didn't dare to dispose of it without authorization, and said that the spring should also be divided into circles. ”
Li Qiusui groaned, she understood what Zhao Da meant, that is, the Zhuangtou people were not bad, and the tenant farmers were okay. By April and May next year, she won't be counting on food, chickens, ducks, fish, cattle and sheep, and she is asking her what she plans to do.
On the side of the father and mother of Lijia Village, there is a small village of 200 acres given by the Zheng family, chickens, ducks and fish are indispensable, and cattle and sheep have not heard of them. It's the New Year, and with these things, you will be able to have a good New Year.
Li Qiusui, "Can cattle be killed casually?" ”
I don't remember where I saw it, but it was said that there was a rule that ploughing cattle were not allowed to be killed at will in ancient times.
"Naturally, ploughing cattle can't be killed at will, but what we have in our Zhuangzi is a beef cattle, I heard that it is a beef cattle that General Guo specially found from the foot traders.
Li Qiusui nodded when she heard Zhao Da say this, most of her cognition of this era was taken from books, but she had only read a few books, and no one said this, so she was naturally not clear.
"In this way, chickens, ducks and fish, send some to the Zheng family, and there will be a month before the New Year, in the house here, you also leave some, and let them deal with the rest as in previous years! As for the cattle and sheep, especially the kind of beef cattle breeding cattle are left with two heads, and the rest do not have to be dealt with in a hurry. And since the head of the village and the tenants have to use it, it will be like this for the time being. ”
Although Zhao Da hung his head, he was shocked in his heart, this master of his own family didn't look young, listen to her, the doorway on the Zhuangzi was well known.
Cuizhu said that he should go to Zhuangzi to take a look, and let him go to Zhuangzi to be in charge, including Fang Cai's reply, he didn't dare to say a word of nonsense.
This will be secretly glad in his heart, thanks to his cautiousness, he leaves a few bottom lines in doing things, otherwise, he boldly guesses the thoughts of the master's family, and he is not the one who cleverly arranges the head of the village, and he will be exposed when he is asked two sentences.
