Chapter 42: Koizumino (2)

Hou Yi looked at Hu Da with hanging eyes, and his already ugly face seemed to be even more vicious, just like the dogs who were fighting for the tiger next to the playboy in the painting book.

Hu Da was frightened by Hou Yi's actions, he was also born in the nursing hospital, so he naturally knew that such a guard like an arm and a finger, even in the General's Mansion, was an elite, and it was a sharp knife beside the master.

But such a character usually appears next to the general, but I didn't expect that the young lady who looked immature and silent would also be such a character around her. The object looks like a master, Hu Da glanced at the young lady sitting behind the table, and looked at his young lady lightly, knowing that he might not be able to fool him today. At that moment, he no longer grinded and chirped to play Tai Chi with the young lady, but walked neatly towards the room where the account book was placed in the West House.

He knew that the guards were not joking when they asked him, and if he couldn't take out the ledger quickly, they would rush into all the rooms and rummage through the cabinets to find the ledger. If you really make a fuss like that, your own head will lose your prestige, and you won't be able to do it anymore, whether you are at fault or not.

Put the thick stack of ledgers on the table, Hu Da walked to the housekeeper Lai Quanfu and stood still, Hou Yi in the courtyard with a guard, guarding behind the young lady, Lai Quanfu stood on the left hand side of the young lady, so as to perceive the needs of the young lady at any time, the young lady did not say a word of command, but everyone was consciously silent and waited in a proper manner.

Looking at the solemn crowd, the subordinates on the Zhuangzi walked lightly. Hu Da didn't dare to delay, so he went to the door to summon the farmer, asked him to find his son, and gathered the tenants on the village to come over as soon as possible, "The main lady is here!" Just go! ”

The phrase "Miss Master's family is here" is like "the wolf is coming", Su Zijin can hear the hurried footsteps outside the courtyard while looking at the account book.

This courtyard was built for the main family to live in, and although it is the layout of an ordinary farmhouse yard, it is much larger than the courtyard next to it. The main family lives in the middle, and the Hu family should live in the concierge or companion room. But from the moment they entered the courtyard just now, the Hu family came out of the hall, and the account book was placed in the west wing of the main house, Su Zijin knew that although the Hu family's family was still empty and did not live in the main house, the other rooms were probably regarded as their own.

Su Zijin went out of the city early in the morning, and arrived at Xiaoquanzhuang just in time, just in time for Hu Da's family to get up early and just have breakfast.

Su Zijin buried his head in the account book, writing and drawing on the new account book from time to time, at this time the sun gradually rose, and the tenants on the village gradually gathered and stood still outside the house. Some children were curious, stretched their necks to look at the courtyard of Zhuangtou, and asked curiously, "Who is this?" I'm going to have fun! As a result, the adult covered his mouth and booed and warned, "Don't make a sound!" Although these tenants have never seen the master's house, they know that the solemn pomp in the courtyard is more formal than the county master, and it must be a big man, so not only do they dare not move, but they also restrain the children from making noise or moving.

"His father, the food is all ready, don't you ask the master's family to eat while it's hot!"

The lady of Zhuangtou, who is loud on weekdays, also spoke with a high voice at this time.

Hu Da waved his hand, let the lady go down first, and found Lai Quanfu by herself, "Housekeeper, can you eat, Miss here?" ”

Lai Quanfu waved his hand, "Miss doesn't like to give up halfway, let's just wait." ”

It wasn't until the three ledgers at hand had been gone through that Su Zijin raised his head, looked at the sun, and then got up, "Let's go, meet the tenants first, it's almost time, everyone should go back to eat." ”

Su Zijin took the lead in walking out of the courtyard, Lai Quanfu and Hou Yi followed closely from left to right, and Hu Da also followed quickly with a tight heart.

Su Zijin glanced at the tenants in the audience, turned his head and asked Hu Da on the side, "How many tenants are there in Xiaoquanzhuang?" How many people? Where did it all come from? ”

Hu Da hurriedly stepped forward, "Miss, they are all villagers from nearby villages. They are villagers at the foot of nearby Koizumi Mountain. Because the soil quality of Xiaoquan Mountain is not good, they are willing to be tenants of large families in the city. We here, mainly 30 households in Zhaojiazhuang, 25 households in Fanjiazhuang, and 35 households in Tianjiazhuang, in addition to farming on weekdays, they will also go to the mountains to take care of fruit trees and vegetables in their free time. ”

Su Zijin looked at the past, and sure enough, these tenants were faintly divided into three parts, presumably with the village as a unit.

"Do you know whose property this Koizumino is?"

An old man with white hair spoke up, "It's General Su's Zhuangzi." ”

Su Zijin nodded, "That's right, it's General Su's Zhuangzi, so that you know that the Su family lives in the east of Kyoto, under the palace wall." If someone insults you in the future, just go to the root of the city wall and report the name of the Su family. Of course, if it happens for no reason, you can't bear the consequences. Okay, I won't say much on the side, seeing that it's noon, you have to go back to cook and eat, just talk serious, do you know whose property is the fertile land next to you? Are they self-seeded or tenants? What is the geometry of the rent? ”

It was the old man who stepped forward and said, "Thank you for the grace of the Lord's family." Next to us is Andingbo's property, and the tenants and we are all from nearby villages, and the rent is only half a percent less than ours, but half a percent. ”

As soon as the old man's voice fell, Hu Da couldn't help it, "Hey, you old man Fan, why don't you say that we have this Xiaoquan Mountain, and you can get some extra wages every year!" How many people in this neighborhood take the initiative to pay forty percent of the rent to be our Su family tenants, if you are not satisfied, we will change people! ”

Hu Da blew his beard and stared, there was finally a young man talking at the bottom, looking at his figure, he was as strong as Hu Da, only stronger with you, Hu Da was more obese, he laughed haha, "Hey, Hu Zhuang'er, Fan Cunzheng is just talking, we are ten miles and eight towns, who doesn't envy us as a member of the Su family?" ”

Hu Da softened his face and glanced at Su Zijin, "Miss, you let the people in the village go to the house for help, there is no need at all, they ask for us, and we will consider it." ”

Su Zijin nodded and looked at Steward Lai on the side, "Okay, the hour is almost up, butler, take out the things and share them with everyone." It's a rare time to come, and everyone is happy,"

Under Hu Da's gaze, Lai Quanfu found a rattan frame out of nowhere and piled the copper coins he brought into the entire rattan basket.

"Come on, folks, the copper coins that Miss specially brought will ask for a lottery for everyone!"

Lai Quanfu is the housekeeper of Su Mansion, although he is respectful in front of Su Zijin, but he also has a head and face when he goes out, he is dressed in plain satin at this time, with a smile on his face but with a hint of bearing, his head and face are neat, his teeth are neat, and he looks like a nobleman. Everyone did not dare to step forward at will, but the children's eyes widened with excitement, and the restraint of their parents seemed to disappear at this time, and these children gathered around a basket of copper coins, jumping and shouting for change.

Lai Quanfu spoke, "Line up, send it when it's ready!" ”

The tenants consciously lined up behind the children, and the guards responsible for the distribution of copper coins were extremely accurate, five children and ten adults.

"My eldest brother went on a blind date, can I get one for my eldest brother?"

A little black-faced doll said this, and everyone laughed unconsciously.

"Yes, head Hu Zhuang, you send someone over together, whoever is missing someone, you can come. A lot of it is given, and if anyone pretends to receive it, it will naturally not work. ”

Su Zijin watched everyone happily receive the money, and led everyone into the door.

"Let's eat."

Hu Da let go of his hanging heart a little at this time, and followed the young lady into the courtyard, "Hey, Steward Lai, where did the escort leader go just now?" ”

He asked Hou Yi, and Steward Lai waved his hand with a smile, "He has friends nearby, he should be visiting relatives and friends, right?" ”
