Chapter 357： break the leg

Zhulan thought clearly in her heart, but she was still sullen. She had just arrived in Lizhou City, and had just become an official. The age of the legal concubine in ancient times was really bad.

Boss Zhou's face is also dark. If Mother didn't explain it clearly, he didn't think about it. He also thought that Yazi was intimate and knew how many older ones were sent to the family.

Boss Zhou pursed his lips, and my mother followed my father all the way through the storm. Aren't these people poking at my mother's heart? Just wait, father cares more about mother, this father must remember it!

At first glance, Yazi knew that the apology was useless, so he had to go back and talk to the boss and wait for the boss to come to the door. Anyway, he was in a situation of obedience.

Mrs. Li followed her mother into the house. Now she doesn't like maids anymore. She used to be happy that her identity had changed, but she never thought that there would be a crisis after her identity changed.

Zhulan was delighted, "Don't worry, no one can look up to the boss right now."

The boss can't do anything except take the eldest son. If it is replaced by the third Changlian or the old son Changzhi, someone will be more concerned.

Li Shi's heart tightened, "Mother, what is it that you don't like right now?"

"It depends on what level your father's official position is promoted."

With a higher official position, even if Boss Zhou is useless, there are still a lot of people staring at Boss Zhou.

Li Shi was anxious, "Mother, what can I do? I'm not pretty, have a big voice, and a fat body. I can't do anything except cook. Will the boss already despise me?"

It's no wonder that the head of the family has fallen asleep recently and hasn't had a good conversation with her for a long time. When Li was nervous, she completely forgot about the lack of people at home. Boss Zhou alone supported three people, she was simply tired and had no energy.

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

Mr. Li really understands himself, but he does have to solve the problem. Today is Zhou Shuren, and he will be his sons in the future.

When Boss Zhou came in to get the money, he heard Mr. Li say that to himself. Hearing Mr. Li's fearful voice, he felt very uncomfortable. He was just an ordinary person. He never thought that his father's identity would change. He disliked Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li gave birth to children for him. He was a man of conscience, and he remembered in his heart that he would have a good talk with Mrs. Li at night.

Boss Zhou knocked on the door, "Mother, I'm here to get the money."

Zhulan was interrupted by Mrs. Li and forgot to take the money, so she took out two silver notes and handed them to the boss. Although she didn't ask the price, Yazi didn't dare to deceive the officials, the money was enough, "You came back after changing the deeds, By the way, ask if there are any land and mountains nearby, my mother wants to buy some land and mountains."

Boss Zhou took the silver note, "Mother, I wrote it down."

Zhu Lan waited for Boss Zhou to leave, and she still wanted to appease Li, "Don't scare yourself, I'll put my words here, we don't have a concubine in our family, whoever dares to take a concubine, I'll let your father break whose leg Get out of the Zhou family again."

Li Shi was in a hurry and stopped immediately, "Mother, really?"

"When did I talk without counting?"

Li grinned. Her mother-in-law always counts. As long as her mother-in-law's words are there, she is not afraid that the boss will have an outsider. "Mother, you are so kind."

Zhulan likes the Li family. Look, the happiness comes quickly, "Don't accompany me, you can weigh a few dishes at noon, and wait for the boss to return to the yamen."

Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed, "Mother, I only have bacon and sausages at home, and there are no other dishes. I want to go to the market in the morning to see if there are green vegetables, but there is no sign of the market people."

Zhulan said: "There are many servants in the family now, and I will ask February to bring people to Sichuan to buy things tomorrow."

Li Shi didn't think about it anymore, "Mother, then I'm going to cook."

"Wait a minute, you kill two more hens. I'll give you ginseng in a while. One chicken sent to the Yamen will be made into ginseng chicken soup, and the remaining one will be made into chicken stewed with mushrooms, and we will eat it ourselves."

Li's stomach is short of everything. The journey has been too hard. She has been thinking about the hens, but her mother-in-law doesn't speak, so she dare not mention it. ."

Xue Han waited for her sister-in-law to leave, and silently walked to her mother's side and hugged her waist, "Mother, don't be angry."

Zhulan smiled, still a girl who was attentive, "I'm not angry anymore."

This one happened too suddenly, she just couldn't control her emotions for a while.

Xuehan bit her mouth, the third sister-in-law's father still has a concubine, but the concubine has no children and is nestled in her mother's arms, "Mother, will my father also change in the future?"

"Will not."

Zhulan's tone was firm, not only because she and Zhou Shuren were tied to a rope, but also because she believed in Zhou Shuren.

Xuehan listened to her mother's heartbeat, and gradually became more at ease. The relationship between father and mother is so good, no one else will appear, and she hugged her mother's waist tightly, "En."

Zhulan patted Xuehan's back, and after a while, she saw that this girl fell asleep in her arms, touching Xuehan's little face, the day she was on the road, this girl was also very tired, and the baby fat on her face It's gone, and the little girl's facial features are also open. Fortunately, the ten-year-old girl is not too heavy, otherwise she really can't hold it. She put Xuehan on her fancy, and covered the little quilt. The little girl slept very deeply. .

Bamboo orchid curled the corners of her mouth and raised her child was not a bad feeling.

Zhulan still has work to do. After calculating the family's money, the capital bought two houses, some jewelry and wood, and spent 5,500 taels, which was credited to the account, and sold 4,000 taels of 40 acres of land in Pinggang. The house in Nancheng was sold for 6,000 taels, and the account was 10,000 taels.

The cost of coming to Lizhou City, UU reading a house, 1,000 taels, purchased carriages, food, etc. 400 taels, and gave the boss 200 taels, the total money left in the family is 12,600 taels One hundred taels, there are still more than fifty taels of broken silver.

Zhulan was relieved to put down the ledger. This amount of money seemed to be too much, and she would have to spend a few more in a few days. The money is really not enough to carry, and the money in the family is still too little!

When Boss Zhou came back, Zhu Lan motioned to be quieter, when Boss Zhou saw that the girl was sleeping in her parents' house, she thought to herself that this is the only thing that the little girl had received, and whispered: "Mother, this is a servant's contract of betrayal. , Yaxing apologized for his actions, the lowest price, plus the money for the exchange of deeds, only cost one hundred and fifty taels, and there are still fifty taels left."

Zhulan hummed, "Have you heard the news about the land?"

Zhou Lao Dao: "There are a lot of land sales nearby, most of them are selling one mu or two mu of land in exchange for money to live. The land near the state city has been bought out, but no one likes the mountains, but it is There are a lot of mountainous areas, and the price is very cheap, one tael of silver per mu of land, if you buy 50 mu of land, you will also get 10 mu of wasteland.”

Zhulan thought that she didn't know if the wasteland she sent was included in the 200 acres of land. She waited for Zhou Shuren to come back and ask, "I see, you can go."
