Chapter 0040: The grudge ends
Under Zhu Chengjun's strong attitude, Mrs. Li tearfully signed the deed of transfer of the field house.
In the era of private land ownership, the procedures for transferring land were not cumbersome, on the contrary, they were very simple.
'Take' the 3,000 acres of land of Lao Li's family at a low price, Zhu Chengjun can finally say with his head held high, we are a veritable head of a village, a proper little tyrant.
When the title deed was in hand, Zhu Chengjun politely arched his hand to Mrs. Li and said: "The 17,000 taels of silver will be delivered later, and please ask Mrs. Li to pack up your luggage earlier, and it should not be dark before you set off to the county seat at this hour." ”
The meaning of Zhu Chengjun's words is obvious, since the money and land are cleared, everything here has nothing to do with you.
Don't go if you should go, go to good morning early, it's not safe to walk at night when it's dark.
Old Lady Li still glanced at Zhu Chengjun uneasily, with a look of pleading in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Since you have fulfilled your wish, I hope that Zhu Gongzi will not be too much." ”
Zhu Chengjun smiled, dare to feel that this old man is worried that our old Zhu will stumble you halfway, no wonder he has this concern, people who have never done a good thing are the most likely to be suspicious of dark ghosts, and always feel that someone wants to harm him, this is a typical persecution paranoia.
Zhu Chengjun glanced at the group of tenant farmers with sticks behind the old Li family, turned around and glanced left and right, and said loudly: "From now on, the grievances between my Zhu family and the Li family will be written off!" I also ask you not to embarrass them for my sake, and let them leave completely. ”
Xu Xiao took the lead in expressing his position: "The hatred between the eldest brother and the Li family is far deeper than ours, since the eldest brother can choose to forgive, how can we be that stingy ghost, from today onwards, all the grievances between the Li family and us will be stopped!" ”
Although the people living in this village have had unhappiness with the Li landlord's family, they are far from the point of dying, and now that the Li family has been punished, they are not easy to hold onto.
At this moment, everyone listened to their inner conscience and chose forgiveness.
Zhu Chengjun saw that there was no resentment or anger in everyone's eyes, and he was very pleased that they could know how to forgive.
"Let's go." Zhu Chengjun turned his head and glanced up and down the Li family with a compassionate gaze.
As soon as Zhu Chengjun and his party walked away, there seemed to be a shouting sound behind them.
"Zhu Gongzi, it was those tenants who had a dispute with the old Li family, it seems that it was because of the money and silver." A team member with sharp ears trotted over to report to Zhu Chengjun.
Now that the Li family has lost power, and the wall is falling down, everyone is pushing it, Zhu Chengjun is not surprised by this.
The long-standing grievances of the tenants who had been exploited and oppressed for many years were all vented at this moment.
Zhu Chengjun doesn't think there's anything wrong with them doing this, and he doesn't think how ugly their faces are at the moment, maybe only at this point can they exercise the right to punish the wicked, and of course there are elements of venting resentment.
"Evil is rewarded." Xu Xiao snorted, and the others also bowed their heads in agreement.
Zhu Chengjun didn't care about everyone's attitude towards the Li family, and said: "You will go door to door to contact those tenant farmers and tell them that I, Zhu Chengjun, ask them to stay and be willing to rent land for them to cultivate at a low price." ”
"Yes." The people answered.
The earth is rejuvenated, and a slight green can be seen faintly between the decay and withering yellow of the fields.
Zhu Chengjun saw the two beauties coming from the forest path, and motioned for Xu Xiao and his party to go back first.
Mingjing and Rui Jinxuan came together.
Zhu Chengjun saw that the two seemed to get along very well, maybe the knot in Rui Jinxuan's heart was unraveled.
Ming Jing came to Zhu Chengjun's side, and the hazy cherry lips under the veil lightly opened: "You handled this matter very well." ”
Rui Jinxuan smiled lightly, and it is of course a matter of pride for her husband to be praised by others.
However, Zhu Chengjun did not have the joy after the victory, and looked at the sky alone, looking stunned.
Ming Jing and Rui Jinxuan stood side by side with Zhu Chengjun on the left and on the right.
"What are you thinking?" Mingjing asked softly.
Zhu Chengjun sighed lightly, his eyes were slightly self-reproachful, and he replied: "I don't know if doing this is considered evil?" ”
It is the family of the landlord Li who is evil, and the punishment that the wicked get due is the retribution of the cycle of heavenly justice, Rui Jinxuan does not understand why her 'husband' is here to reflect on herself.
Ming Jing's eyes were also full of incomprehension, and she said softly and comfortingly: "You are already very kind to their family, although you are suspected of bullying the weak, it is not something ordinary people can do as a strong person and still have a benevolent heart." ”
Zhu Chengjun showed compassion on his face and muttered: "Old lady Li has gone through this incident...... The strength of the heart has been dissipated......"
"The husband doesn't need to blame himself, the Li family's actions and concubines have also heard of it, such a wicked person can't afford your sympathy at all." Rui Jinxuan is holding grievances for those who were ravaged by the Li family and their families were ruined.
"What, you're still going to look at your life?" Ming Jing's head tilted slightly, and quipped.
Zhu Chengjun smiled and said: "I can't learn numerology metaphysics, when it comes to looking at people, I still have some eyesight, Mrs. Li agreed to move away because of the situation, he is not the kind of open-minded person who can afford to let go, is the kind of person who is eager to bring all the wealth in life to the coffin, after this heavy blow, I think Mrs. Li is afraid that it will be ...... Lives are short-lived. ”
Rui Jinxuan covered her lips and chuckled, and said in a playful voice: "That's because he doesn't want to let go of himself, what does he have to do with his husband." ”
Ming Jing saw that Zhu Chengjun was actually struggling with this matter, and when she saw the deep regret and self-blame hidden in his eyes, she didn't know why he was like this, and wondered: "Just because this incident disturbed your heart?" ”
Zhu Chengjun continued: "Although Mrs. Li is not very good, after all, he is the head of the Li family's doorman, and I have seen his children and grandchildren, who belong to the kind where the mud can't support the wall. ”
Ming Jing followed Zhu Chengjun's words: "The beams and pillars of the house collapsed, and no one in the Li family who could convince the public stood up to stabilize the situation. Ming Jing's beautiful eyes moved slightly to look at Zhu Chengjun, and her tone unconsciously became much softer: "Do you think you are the gravedigger of their family and feel unbearable?" ”
Rui Jinxuan listened to the conversation between Mingjing and Zhu Chengjun, her mind became more and more chaotic, and she didn't know how to interject.
Zhu Chengjun nodded, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said: "The whole family was affected by the disaster of one person, although the tragedy of the Li family has long been buried, my appearance has undoubtedly accelerated the arrival of their family's tragedy." ”
"Since it is the root of their own planting, this day will always come, if they have a little enlightenment, they may be able to eliminate the evil, even if it is not you, there will be others who touch this door today. In this world, one person has ascended to heaven, and now, one person has suffered for the whole family, so it is still fair to count it. In the end, Ming Jing sighed.
After listening to Ming Jing's words, Zhu Chengjun instantly frowned, he was too idealistic, and the things in the world were inextricably linked, so why bother to take it on himself.
Zhu Chengjun knew that he was too deeply influenced by the education of his previous life, and he was obviously biased to measure this era by the ruler of the level of civilization in later generations, and it seemed that he still did not really integrate into this world.
It's good if the world will become like in the previous life, but if not, I'm an outlier if I think like this.
After figuring out the reason, Zhu Chengjun was in a good mood.
"Let's go! Go home, I'll make you something to eat. Zhu Chengjun turned around and walked in the direction of home.
Rui Jinxuan saw that Zhu Chengjun was going to cook in person, and hurriedly persuaded: "The husband can't help it, and the gentleman cooks far away." ”
Zhu Chengjun shook his head, thinking that it was necessary to lightly tap Rui Jinxuan, who was conceited and full of learning, and said: "The gentleman's kitchen is not a place for people to stay away from killing and cooking, the famous words of the sages are not so boring, but to warn the world to always have a merciful and benevolent heart." ”
If the sages are like this, how can they leave a name in history.
Rui Jinxuan blinked, as if she had realized.
Seeing Rui Jinxuan's reaction, Zhu Chengjun suddenly felt helpless, which master who misunderstood people's children would misinterpret the famous words of the virtuous and virtuous like this.
"Poof......" Mingjing couldn't help laughing, and her bright eyes had a ray of brilliance that she had never had.
Although he couldn't see how amazing the smile of the beautiful woman under the hazy light veil was, Zhu Chengjun couldn't help but be stupid.
Sensing the obsessive look in Zhu Chengjun's eyes, Mingjing glared at Zhu Chengjun quickly, and immediately glanced away.
When it comes to food, the level of cooking in the Song Dynasty was not low.
Even so, Zhu Chengjun's craftsmanship still made Rui Jinxuan full of praise.
"My husband's craftsmanship is awesome." Rui Jinxuan's index finger moved, and her ruddy cherry mouth kept chewing, compared to her previous eating demeanor, it was now presumptuous.
Rui Jinxuan saw that Zhu Chengjun had been staring at the back of the courtyard, and her jade dew-like nose couldn't help but wrinkle slightly, and her tone was shallow and resentful: "Sister Ming, a fairy-like person, it's a pity, the rules of the master are not allowed to marry." ”
Zhu Chengjun didn't notice Rui Jinxuan's mood when she was talking at the moment, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said casually: "I've finished eating, and I'm going to send silver to Mrs. Li with Brother Xu Xiao later, you eat slowly." ”
Ming Jing noticed that Zhu Chengjun had walked behind her, so she didn't bother to wipe her mouth, and hurriedly hung up the veil.
Zhu Chengjun knew that Ming Jing didn't want to show her true face, so he said a word softly and walked towards the door.
Sitting in the open-top carriage, Zhu Chengjun leaned over to browse the moving scenery.
"Big brother, let's take such a few people with us, in case Old Lady Li suddenly repents, how can this be good."
Zhu Chengjun said lightly: "The second brother is too cautious, he doesn't dare." ”
Xu Xiao smiled innocently: "After all, what we pulled in the car is hard-earned hard-earned money." ”
The carriage slowly moved forward, and it didn't take much time to come to the Li family's compound.
When he saw a carriage full of objects in front of Li's house, Zhu Chengjun once again learned the strength of Mrs. Li's picking, if he was given enough vehicles, he was afraid that he would have to scrape a layer of land and take it away.
Zhu Chengjun jumped out of the carriage and came to lie on the bamboo bed with his head tilted, and the corners of his mouth were still flowing from time to time.
Seeing Mrs. Li's pitiful appearance, Zhu Chengjun no longer had any resentment towards the old man who had been fighting with his family for more than ten years, bowed slightly to Mrs. Li, and said, "I gave the silver, do you want to let Mrs. Li count it." ”
Old lady Li perked up, reluctantly touched the wooden box containing the title deed on her thigh, and said weakly: "You have changed, you are no longer the loser who only knows how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble." The old man is very surprised by your transformation. ”
Zhu Chengjun smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to the old lady's praise, people will always change, haven't you changed too." ”
Old Mrs. Li's face was bitter and she sighed, "Have I changed? Yes, I'm old, and I can't accept it. ”
Zhu Chengjun motioned to Xu Xiao to open the lid of the box in a blink of an eye, and the bright silver instantly lit up everyone's eyes.
Old lady Li saw Zhu Chengjun's turned face, and waved her hand at the children and grandchildren, "No need, the old man believes in Zhu Gongzi's character." Old lady Li handed over the title deed to Zhu Chengjun with trembling hands, closed her eyes weakly, and ordered: "Bring the silver over and load the car, let's go." ”
Two vacant carriages, led by the family, soon came to view.
Seeing this, Zhu Chengjun secretly slandered himself: The calculation is quite accurate.
After the Li family loaded the silver into the car, Zhu Cheng led the people to the side and clasped his fists: "Congratulations to Mrs. Li." ”
