Early the next morning, Su Hengyu was woken up by the sound of Ziyun and Mama Qin talking.

She rubbed her swollen head, silently got up from the bed to wash.

obviously said that he would stay up all night, but Su Hengyu still failed to do it in the end. She only stayed up to the time of the child, and when the time was over, she didn't hold back to go back to the room to sleep.

was combing her hair, Ziyun had already made hot water and knocked on Su Hengyu's door, Su Hengyu casually let her in, and Ziyun walked into the house with a smiling face: "I guessed that Miss must have woken up at this time, I really guessed right." ”

Su Hengyu also smiled when he heard this: "No, our Purple Cloud Female Envoy is getting more and more disciplined now, I'm afraid it won't be long before she will be the Purple Cloud Butler in our Zhuangzi!" ”

Ziyun listened to Su Hengyu's teasing, and the smile on her face became stronger, she wore a new red dress today, which was specially tailored by Su Hengyu to the tailor shop in Beijing for the maids at home.

One for each person, but all look different.

What was given to Mama Qin was a purple skirt, compared to the delicate and festive of Ziyun and others, she looked very dignified and elegant when she wore it.

Ziyun put the hot water away, and casually took the horn comb in Su Hengyu's hand: "I'll help the young lady comb her hair first." Miss went to bed early last night, and she didn't know that Steward Song and Steward Qiao were drinking together. It is said that it is a good wine that Steward Qiao has treasured for many years, and it is just such a jar, and it was drunk by the two of them. ”

"Isn't it very uncomfortable to drink so late this morning?" Su Hengyu said.

Ziyun smiled and nodded: "No, the two ladies in charge just came over to pass the word, saying that the two of them haven't sobered up yet, and they are lying on the bed and vomiting." ”

Su Hengyu shook her head helplessly when she heard this, she didn't know what to say about these two people. People who usually look very honest and stable even drink themselves like that.

"Did Ru Jun cook them a decanting soup over there?" Su Hengyu asked again.

Ziyun: "Cooked, I cooked it last night." But the two of them might have made a fuss when they got drunk, so we called several guards in, and only then did we reluctantly hold them down and pour the sobering soup in. Otherwise, they would be even more uncomfortable now. ”

When Su Hengyu heard this, he secretly remembered the matter. In the future, she will definitely not give the two stewards such a chance.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Hengyu didn't have many things, but the kitchen was still very busy.

There wasn't much left of last night's soup, so Ru Jun simply added some ingredients, stewed it into a pot, and sent it to the escort team.

As for this morning's dinner, Ru Jun made small wontons for Su Hengyu.

The small wontons are made of shrimp and are made from river shrimp produced in their own Zhuangzi. Because these rivers are not easy to catch in winter, there is a little bit in the kitchen, just enough for Su Hengyu to eat a few meals.

Su Hengyu's custom, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can't eat porridge and other foods, it is said that the old people think that if they eat these on the first day of the new year, they will be confused for the next year.

After breakfast was simply eaten, the guards in the Zhuangzi carried another bundle of bamboo out to firecrackers. The crackling sound made Zhuangzi, who was originally quiet, immediately lively, and it really felt a little New Year's feeling.

Today, Mama Qin doesn't let the maids move the broom, because there is an old saying that if you use the broom today, the blessings of the family will be swept away, and the old people are still very concerned about local customs.

There weren't many things to do in the morning, and not long after Su Hengyu finished breakfast, there was news from Steward Qiao, saying that the tenants in Zhuangzi wanted to come to her to pay New Year's greetings.

Most of the things that Steward Qiao is responsible for now have not improved, so Su Hengyu simply handed over the affairs of the tenants to him.

However, these tenants, Su Hengyu has not seen them since he came to Zhuangzi.

Thinking that there would be nothing to do today anyway, Su Hengyu agreed to the tenants' request.

There were more than 30 tenants in her village, and there were so many people that it was naturally impossible for them all to come to see her, so only a few representatives were arranged.

After Ziyun invited people into the house, Su Hengyu saw their appearance clearly.

This time there were three middle-aged men, they were wearing gray half-worn coats with a few patches on them, but the jackets were very clean, and it was obvious that they all cherished the clothes on their bodies.

Su Hengyu obviously saw that this jacket was bulging, but several people were still frozen and their faces were red. When I first entered the door, I was still trembling uncontrollably.

"The little one visits the Lord's house, the Lord's house is auspicious, and everything is safe." The middle-aged man standing at the front claimed to be surnamed He, and was said to be the head of Xiaohe Village.

Xiaohe Village is near Su Hengyu's Zhuangzi, and the entire village is her tenant.

The middle-aged man named He Liu knows a few words, and his mouth is sweet and he can take care of things, so he was elected as the village chief and is qualified to come to meet Su Hengyu, the main family.

Su Hengyu briefly asked about the situation in their family, and learned that several people had many children in their families, and He Liu even had a great-grandson.

She instructed Ziyun to grab a handful of silver melon seeds for each of them, and by the way, she also gave them a bag of candy.

The three of them got good things, and they wanted to kowtow to Su Hengyu, Su Hengyu hurriedly stopped the people, gave them some New Year's goods or something, and asked the three of them to take them back and give them a point to the people in the village, so they sent the people away.

After He Liu and the others left, Su Hengyu went to ask Mama Qin: "How much land is rented in our Zhuangzi every year?" ”

As the housekeeper in the Zhuangzi, Mama Qin was naturally clear about this, and immediately replied: "Sixty percent of the harvest is harvested, and the remaining four achievements are the tenants' own." ”

"Sixty percent is a bit too high, so it's better to only collect forty percent." Su Hengyu doesn't rely on land rent to eat now, thinking that since he has this ability, it is better to simply give these tenants some way to live.

When Mama Qin heard this, she rarely refuted her: "Miss, no, our Dawei current land rent is not less than fifty percent." If you rashly reduce the land rent so much, firstly, it will harm the interests of the rest of the officials, and secondly, if you lower the land rent for no reason, it will be difficult for the tenants in the Zhuangzi to manage in the future. ”

was mentioned by Mama Qin like this, and Su Hengyu realized that she was naïve.

She is accustomed to seeing a world where everyone is equal in modern times, and when she returns to this era, she is a little unsure of her status.

"Then forget it, let's reduce it to fifty." Since the rent cannot be lowered, it is better to find a way to increase the yield of the fields, so that the peasants can also live.

Su Hengyu is still too weak now, she thinks that if the eldest princess can become the empress one day, maybe she can also get an official for herself.

But before that, she needs to do a little more preparation.
