Concubine's plan

Xun Yingju and Lu Shaoyuan went to a clothing store in the county town and bought two sets of clothes for each of these people, a total of forty-two sets of clothes. They also bought 21 sets of bedding. The environment in Zhuangzi was not very good, so they needed to prepare all these things. superior. As for how good the work is, it cannot be seen in a short while.

On the way, I saw a blacksmith shop and bought some farm tools and three sets of pots and pans. So many people always have to cook, so I thought about going to the rice and grain store to buy some food. From now on, the three families can get their wages every month. If she goes to buy food by herself, she will have to worry a lot more in the first month.

I filled a carriage full of clothes and quilts, and then went to the cattle and horse market to buy thirty cows. Time is tight this year. With more than 2,000 acres of land and 30 cows, it may not be possible to plow all the fields in one month. Plowing the fields in advance next year will be enough. The cattle were bought from the animal farmer and sent directly to Zhuangzi in the east of the city. When Xun Yingju and Lu Shaoyuan returned to Zhuangzi, it was not yet noon. The people and cattle were all here. When the three families saw Xun Yingju coming, they all saluted and greeted them. Xun Yingju was not polite, and said with a smile:"In the future, we will work together, so don't be so polite. Now that you are in this village, there are 1,200 acres of land, and there are three 200-acre farms managed by Uncle Zhu's family. There is another 300 acres of land left in Zhuangzi, which will be managed by Uncle Xu's family. From now on, you will manage my Zhuangzi, and you all have experience in managing Zhuangzi, so you won't make any mistakes here. I also hope that Uncle Feng will do well. Reason, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for being cruel."

The little girl's voice was clear and her words were gentle and gentle, but what she said was filled with a chill, like a general who had been on the battlefield, which made the three families present feel Everyone trembled, not daring to look directly at him

"Okay, after lunch, County Lieutenant Lu will take Uncle Xu and Uncle Zhu’s family to visit various villages, meet the tenant farmers on the villages, and get everything done that needs to re-sign the lease contracts."After Xun Yingju arranged the important things, she said to Aunt Feng:"I bought food and asked Aunt Feng to prepare lunch so that everyone can go to work after lunch."

"Yes, girl."Aunt Feng lowered her eyes and agreed.

The men unloaded the things on the carriage and distributed the number of people. Finally, they divided the acres of Niu'an Zhuangzi. The Zhuangzi kept ten cows on the thousand acres of land, and the three small Zhuangzi kept Six cows, 300 acres of land, four cows left in the village. Several villages are not far away. If someone is fast at work, they can borrow the cows.

Seeing Zhu Jing, who is only ten years old, Xun Yingju felt that her two little The girl was so busy that she had no time to take care of herself and Bai, so she said:"Uncle Zhu, are you willing to let Zhu Jing go back with me and stay with me to work?"Although she is the master, as long as she speaks, the Zhu family does not dare to say a word, but she still likes to ask for the other person's opinion and insists on things that are not satisfactory.

Hearing this, Lao Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and the whole family was shocked. It is a slave status. If the master is kind, he can release the slave and become a free man in a few generations. But if there is a girl in the family, she will always stay with the master. When she grows up in the future, she does not have to worry about her husband's family. He said that he could also release the contract of prostitution. The girl liked Xiao Jing and wanted to take her with her. He was not unhappy. He immediately nodded and said,"Thank you for liking my daughter. It is her blessing to be able to teach her the rules.""

So you agree? Xun Yingju thought about it for a long time before she understood what it meant. Without embarrassing herself in front of these people, she said:"Well, let's call her Man Xing from now on!"

"The slave has seen the girl!"Manxing immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up and work by my side. You don’t need to be too smart, but the key point is that you must remember that if I find that you have done anything contrary to the glory of the Lord, I will sell you and your family together. Xun Yingju thought for a while. When buying someone for the first time, she always had to act like a master, so she mentioned her taboo.

"The slave is saved."Man Xing was like a frightened little rabbit, her thin body huddled up.

"Get up, it's time to eat later."Xun Yingju stretched out her hand to help the little girl up and took a look. It may be due to chronic malnutrition. The little girl's face was yellow and thin. She not only sighed, but every family has its own difficulties. There were men from the Feng family who helped press the pot, Aunt Feng, Xu Shen The three women, Er and Aunt Zhu, worked together, and the food for more than twenty people was quickly cooked. After lunch, everyone went about their own business. Originally, Xun Yingju and the other two families were supposed to go to see Zhuangzi. It was really busy for a few days, so Lu Shaoyuan insisted on letting her go and let her rest on the Zhuangzi, and then go there himself when she had free time. Xun Yingju was really tired, so she rested on the Zhuangzi for a while. When the sun set, Lu Shaoyuan drove the carriage When she came back, she saw that he looked tired and exhausted. Xun Yingju immediately stole a cup of tea, brought it over and said,"Brother Lu, you have been tired these past two days. Without you, I might not have the courage to come to the county to buy land."She said softly. She originally wanted to let Lu Shaoyuan rest at home for a few days, but he didn't expect that he would be even busier during this period. He must make something delicious to make up for it when he goes back.

The girl murmured softly, with a sense of The fragrance makes people want to stop. Lu Shaoyuan smiled and said:"It doesn't matter, just make more delicious food for me after you go back.""

"Haha, everything here has been arranged?"After showing concern, Xun Yingju began to ask about Jin'er's affairs.

"Everything is done, and all the tenants in the village have been met, and the lease contract has been re-signed. They can start farming tomorrow. There are too many tenants in this large village, and it will take a few days to re-sign the contract. However, you have to give these Zhuangzi a name so that it will be convenient to call them later."Lu Shaoyuan sat down to rest, and handed several deeds signed by Zhuangzi and tenant farmers to Xun Yingju, and also gave his own opinion. There should be a name for Zhuangzi before, but it was given by the previous owner. She wanted to I carefully named several villages, so I smiled and said:"Thousand acres of village is called Nanshan Village. I saw that the village managed by Uncle Xu has many green plum trees. This is rare in the north, so it is better to call it Meiyuan Village." The remaining three villages are all managed by Lao Zhu's family, so let's call them Sanxian Village."After finishing speaking, she was very happy with her wit.

"That's fine, I'll let Comrade Lao Xu take care of the other two Zhuangzi later. We're going back today."As he said that, Lu Shaoyuan pointed to the sky.

Regarding this, Xun Yingju expressed her innocence. She was just too excited and said with a smile:"Okay, let's go back first."When they left, they called Man Xing who was helping Feng Shen'er with the work.

The three of them took the carriage back to Hongshan Village. When they arrived at the door of their house, it was still dark. When they paid for the carriage, Xun Yingju paid five more silver to express her gratitude. It was a tiring day for the coachman.

As soon as he got home, Chun Mian came up to greet them. Seeing how tired the two of them were, he immediately said:"Where did the girl go? Why are you so tired? I'll boil the hot water, and the girl and Master Lu will wash up and go cut."
