Chapter 43: Koizumino (3)
After eating, Su Zijin led people to inspect Tianchan and Xiaoquan Mountain.
"My Xiaobai, one step is one and a half meters, from east to west, a total of two hundred and eighty steps, from south to north, a total of three hundred and sixty steps, Hu Zhuangtou is well governed, this grange is getting bigger and bigger."
Su Zijin's lazy words made Hu Da's face pale in an instant, and cold sweat instantly oozed from his back, and his eyes for help unconsciously looked at Lai Quanfu, and he said tremblingly, "Housekeeper!" Blessed! You know me, I've always been a big man, the accounts are not very fine, but I don't dare to snub the main family at all, every year chicken, duck and fish, I pick up the best to send to you, and the small spring mountain on the mountain, how many people around here have ghosts, want me to come down to supply other marquis mansions, I didn't pay attention, except for the supply of the house, all to the restaurants in Kyoto City, they are all the princes and princes behind the implication, the side really don't dare! At most, I will give them a little accommodation if they look worse. There is also land rent, and other village owners want to contact me longer, and I never earn money with such a conscience! In addition, the balance of the annual fruits and vegetables is paid to the tenants. Originally, it was okay not to give them to them, but it was related to the reputation of our Su family, of course I wouldn't swallow it privately! And, there's..."
Hu Da looked at Su Zijin in a panic, looking at Su Zijin's face faintly, not happy or angry, which made her heart more and more bottomless, when Miss first came, she was cold and silent, so that he had no bottom in his heart, I thought that he had eased a little during the lunch meal, but at this time he was also expressionless, but it made his heart feel like falling into the abyss, the sweat on his forehead was dripping, and the horses couldn't sit still, slid off the horse and knelt under the horse, and as if grasping a glimmer of hope, to cling to Lai Quanfu's legs, "Quanfu, you open your mouth to intercede with Miss for me, I'm really not a person who eats inside and out, Back then, we didn't rub sand in our eyes, and on this large piece of land, my Hu Da was definitely worthy of the Lord's family! ”
Lai Quanfu couldn't bear it, after all, he was also young back then, chatting and farting and basking in the sun together, how many years of friendship, every year he entered the house to pay rent, and he would bring himself some extra fresh.
"Miss," Lai Quanfu couldn't help but speak.
Su Zijin raised his hand to prevent Steward Lai from continuing to plead, and looked at Hu Da, who was in chaos at this time, "Here are the fields given by the emperor on all sides, next to each other, square and square, how did you make more fields silently?" ”
Listening to Miss's faint tone, Hu Da seemed to see hope, and knelt under Su Zijin's horse, "Miss! I don't dare to hide it from Miss, on the one hand, it is Xiaoquan Mountain that we have cultivated, and on the other hand, it is the means of nearby people. There are always people who are not next to the field, they are outward, and others can also be outward, and then they are replaced little by little, and there are many! ”
Su Zijin was interested, "It's all the tacit understanding of Zhuangtou?" ”
Hu Da's face was ashen, and he lowered his head, "Yes!" ”
Lai Quanfu gasped and looked around, "It's not easy. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Su Zijin worriedly, "Miss, this is not a trivial matter. ”
Su Zijin looked at Hu Da, "As far as you know, has anything happened?" ”
Hu Da shook his head, "As far as the old slave knows, no. At present, the great cadres have just established the dynasty, under the eyes of His Majesty, no one dares to exploit them wantonly, they are all equivalent replacements, even if some people are unwilling, for the sake of the faces of the Hou Lords and Uncles, they will follow! ”
Su Zijin looked around and suddenly smiled, "I'm afraid that your marquis is not as broad as you." ”
Hu Da didn't dare to raise his head more and more.
"Alright, get up." Su Zijin beat his horse and walked back, "I will inform my father about the follow-up." If my father spares you once, as long as you do your best in the future, I will not embarrass you with this matter. But..."
Hu Da's heart was like a roller coaster, and he was relieved to hear that Hou Ye was presiding over this matter, and because of Miss's "but", he mentioned it, "Although Miss commanded, as long as the old slave is in the Su family for a day, he will obey Miss for a while, and he will definitely not discount it at all!" ”
Su Zijin nodded, "You have also saved a lot of family business over the years, build yourself a house, and move out!" ”
Hu Da was dripping in cold sweat, and while wiping his sweat, he consciously led the young lady's horse back, "Don't worry, the slave family, move out immediately!" Move out tonight! Before the house was built, the slave family was outside in the open air! ”
Lai Quanfu looked at Hu Da, who was respectful to the young lady in front of him and worshiped like a god, and then looked at the young lady who nodded, and was speechless.
Hu Da's arrogance is well known to the old people in the house, but he couldn't say it before. Looking at Hu Da's quail appearance now, it is estimated that if he can still see it in the mansion in the future, I am afraid it will not be the same as before.
Lai Quanfu couldn't help but look forward to Hu Da being opened by Hou Ye, and this year's New Year's Day, he can see Hu Da in the mansion again, and at that time, what will he look like.
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go back to the city as soon as possible!"
Seeing Su Zijin and the others galloping away and disappearing into Xiaoquanzhuang, Hu Da immediately raised his head from the ground and sat on the ground.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Hu Da's son, Hu Geng saw his father and the young lady coming back from the inspection, his face was ashen, and he fell to the ground at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Leave me alone, let's move quickly."
Hu Da waved his hand, Hu was even more puzzled, "Dad, what did you say?" ”
"Quick! Uproot! Move out all the things in my room, you and your daughter-in-law, and go quickly! ”
Hu was even more puzzled, but seeing his father's solemn expression, he quickly waved his hand and asked his daughter-in-law to hurry up and do the same, while he helped his father and walked back.
"Father, why is that? The Hou Ye and his wife in the house are all thinking of your merits, as long as the Hou Ye and his wife are there, the sky will not fall! ”
Hu Geng puffed up his chest and said.
Although he is in Zhuangzi with his father, he still has some status among the Su family, and even the housekeeper does not dare to provoke easily, after all, his father lost an arm for his wife.
Hu Da looked at his arm, which could not use force, but was also unhindered in daily life, and hoped for the first time that her injuries could be more serious.
"Don't talk about it, let's move quickly. You go to the village and find someone, and build two huts behind the lord's house, which are simple, and at least have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. If the father can get through this, let's add it slowly. ”
"Daddy?"
…
"Miss is merciful."
Hurry all the way, after entering the city, Su Zijin and the housekeeper escort slowed down, and the housekeeper Lai finally said at this time.
The young lady looked merciless, and scared Hu Da half to death, but there was still a glimmer of life in the young lady's words. Otherwise, Hu Da's guilt, Miss will deal with it on the spot as she did a few days ago, instead of reporting it to Master Hou.
Hou Ye is tolerant of Hu Da, even if Hu Da makes a big mistake, after Hou Ye communicates with several other Hou Ye and uncles, as long as he is punished, the others should not move.
And if people are pure, there will be no fish, no matter who takes over Zhuangzi and has power in his hands, it will be more or less inflated. Hu Da was originally conscientious and benevolent to the tenants below, and now after this experience, I am afraid that he is the most suitable head of Xiaoquanzhuang.
Su Zijin shook his head, "It's up to him to see if he can seize the opportunity." ”
Lai Quanfu thought about it, and looked at the escort team again, Hou Yi hadn't come back yet, he instantly understood that if Hu Dayang disobeyed the yin and didn't do what Miss said, I am afraid that he would face a catastrophe, this is the opportunity given to him by Miss, it depends on whether he can grasp it.
"Miss, good means!"
Lai Quanfu sighed in his heart, silently, quietly, without words, babbling, only thunder means.
