“Aniang! Are you and my little sister going together?” Xu Nuoshan was shocked.
Madam Zhou exhaled with emotion, "You are the support of me and Nuoyan. When you go away from home, the two of us feel uneasy at home. We didn't dare to say it before because we were afraid of adding to the burden on you. If you can stay overnight, Yang "Jia Zhuangzi, at least we can save some money for accommodation. We can bring the food ourselves, and your sister can continue to make beads and sell flowers there. Anyway, she won't spend too much money, and she can feel at ease."
Mainly because the scholar was weak and he had gone so far away, Mrs. Zhou had already given up on food and tea before her son left home. Instead of living like this for years, she might as well grit her teeth and follow him.
Xu Nuoshan was a little embarrassed, "If I want to take my mother and sister with me, I have to go and tell Brother Changsong. After all, we live in someone else's village."
"Yes, it doesn't matter even if you have to pay some money. After all, we have two more people." Mrs. Zhou looked at her son eagerly.
Xu Nuoshan had no choice but to go back to school and inform Yang Santie of the matter.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that all the other classmates had more or less brought their families, and at least one person accompanied them.
Yang Santie quickly counted the number of people, and took leave with his husband that day to return to Rongshu Village.
It happened that Yang Erdan had just arrived home, Yang Santie hurriedly explained the situation, and was severely punished by Yang Erdan, "We don't even know what Zhuangzi's situation is, but you dare to take this kind of job, what if you arrive?" What should I do if I can’t live with you? It will cause trouble for my mother-in-law!”
Yang Erdan scolded for a while, and Jiang Ning said: "Okay, help me get some more rice paper. I want to see how much money he can make for me this time, but don't lose it!"
Yang Erdan's face darkened, and he scolded Yang Santie again.
The mother and son were busy at home for two days and drove out several boxes of goods.
Yang Erdan asked the four brothers of the Fang family to prepare several more car casing ashes.
Over at the **** agency, Jiang Ning has asked Liu Cuihua to help with the matter. The **** team is waiting in the county seat, and everyone is gathering there.
Jiang Ning sent them over and saw a large number of people waiting outside the city gate from a distance.
Mrs. Zhou and Xu Nuoyan were the first to recognize Jiang Ning and hurried forward to greet him.
Jiang Ning looked at them and saw that the mother and daughter only brought a small baggage, and frowned, "Just bring these things?"
“There are also some godmothers who have been put in the car.” Mrs. Zhou was looking forward to it but also a little nervous.
Jiang Ning nodded with a smile, "If you are worried on the road, if you need anything, you can ask my two boys for help."
“No, no, no, it’s already troublesome for you!” Mrs. Zhou was grateful and ashamed at the same time.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything else. He turned to Yang Erdan and whispered: "Go over there and take a closer look at Zhuangzi's situation. Who can be used and who cannot be used. Pay attention. If you can handle it, handle it. If you can't handle it, keep it." Wait, I’ll talk to you next time. You’ve taken care of the money. If you have any ideas, just do it. Don’t be afraid!”
Yang Erdan solemnly agreed. After bidding farewell to Jiang Ning, he took the initiative to communicate with the bodyguard.
With him coming forward, everyone implicitly regards him as the leader.
It would be faster to take the waterway from the county town to the capital city, but with so many people and cargo, they could only take the official road, which would be half a day slower.
It happened to be noon when the group of people arrived at Zhuangzi. The **** leader said to Yang Erdan: "Young Master Yang, this is it. You can take a look. If there is no problem, we will leave first."
Yang Erdan and Yang Santie looked at each other. The two brothers were the first to enter the village. They were stopped after a while and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Yang Erdan looked at the other person's clothes and muttered: "I am the owner of this village, my surname is Yang." The man was startled and hurriedly ran back.
The brothers chased after him.
I saw the man running into a big house and shouting, "Butler Zhu, Butler Zhu, the boss is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man came out in a hurry, noticed the Yang brothers at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute respectfully, "Are the two young masters the sons of Mrs. Muyi?"
Yang Erdan nodded and took out the letter Huang Zhengyang wrote to Jiang Ning, "This is Mr. Huang's personal letter. Please acknowledge it."
Butler Zhu nodded firmly after just one glance, "Yes, it is indeed a handwritten letter from my master. The two young masters are coming with me."
“Wait a minute, there are still a bunch of people waiting outside Zhuangzi!” Yang Santie said.
Steward Zhu immediately looked at Zhu San beside him and said, "Go, settle those guests in Xiyuan first."
“Xiyuan?” Yang Erdan asked in confusion.
Butler Zhu explained: "This Zhuangzi was previously prepared by Jia Pengju for his concubine's brother. The other party was originally from a poor family. One person was able to achieve the goal of raising chickens and dogs to heaven. He spent money like water. Not only did he build this big house on Zhuangzi, but he also built a house not far from the entrance of Zhuangzi. A Western Garden was built in the place.
This big house is specially used to entertain Jia Pengju. They live in Xiyuan by themselves, which is no worse than here, because this house is in Zhuangzi and is relatively close to the fields. There is also a large cellar for storing grain. The younger ones live here. It’s easier to do things. "
Speaking, Butler Zhu first took the two of them to see where he lived.
Although there are no tigers in the mountains, Butler Zhu does not dare to call himself a king at all. He lives in the courtyard of the servants and keeps everything simple. Although the main courtyards are uninhabited all year round, they are cleaned regularly and are clean.
Then they went to the cellar again. The harvest had not yet been harvested, so the cellar was relatively empty.
Butler Zhu said thoughtfully: "I wonder what Madam's requirements are this year? You can tell me in advance."
Yang Erdan looked around and asked: "What will Master Zhuangzi be planting this year?"
"The paddy fields are all planted with rice, and the fertile fields are planted with wheat and taro. The fish ponds used to have fish, but they haven't been processed this year. I don't know how big the fish are in them and what their condition is. If the young master wants to build a fish pond, I can tell the people in the village to immediately Take action." Butler Zhu said.
Yang Santie asked curiously: "How many people are there in Zhuangzi? Who are they?"
Butler Zhu took out a book in a serious manner, "All the people in Zhuangzi were dealt with by Master Huang before. Xiao Xiao and Zhu San were specially arranged by Master Huang to take care of them. In addition to us, there are eight sin slaves and them." family members.”
“Sin slave?” Yang Erdan immediately thought of Tian Feng. He only knew about Sin slave because of Tian Feng.
Butler Zhu saw that something was wrong with his face and explained: "These criminal slaves were originally servants of wealthy families. The master's family was implicated in crimes. Master Huang asked the younger one to choose some loyal and honest ones to stay. The younger one and Zhu San were originally After selecting ten, we eliminated the two restless ones, and now the remaining eight are down-to-earth and law-abiding people.”
Yang Erdan nodded and said nothing more.
After leaving the big house, he and Yang Santie immediately ran to Xiyuan.
Xiyuan is indeed not small. It is not a regular three-entry courtyard, but two. The first courtyard is a place for entertaining guests, and there are several small courtyards in the back. It is estimated that the original owner's family had a large population, so this arrangement is more reasonable. Now we are hosting guests. These students who are rushing to take the exam are particularly suitable.
