Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

After Mrs. Song left Zhang He's house, she thought about her words, and went to the yamen to visit Liu Dashan, and at the same time asked Liu Dashan to point out that the matter was related to Zhang Hua.

As the official in charge of the case, Shi Qing sent someone to bring Zhang Hua to him. At first Zhang Hua refused to admit that he went to Liu Dashan's house with Li Xun. Extorting a confession is the most common method used by the Yamen, and he told the truth.

As for the specifics, it was not something that Zhang He could find out, and she never deliberately inquired about it. It was just that there were many discussions in the village, so she and Xia Jiniang listened to a lot.All I know is that Liu Dashan was beaten [-] boards and retired from his tenancy under the auspices of the government.

Li Xun was also slapped, but he spent some money and replaced himself with a servant during the execution of the small official, but his guarantor's corvee in the coming year was changed to pay several times more exempt money than usual.But Zhang Hua was the worst. When he came back, he had only half his life left, and he was almost killed outside by someone looking for Li.

Later, someone secretly told Zhang He that the reason why Zhang Hua went to sue Li Xun was because he had hated her long ago.At first he asked Aunt Li about Xia Jiniang and wanted to marry Xia Jiniang, but she was fooled and dismissed by Aunt Li. Later, when he saw that Zhang He had married Xia Jiniang, he felt annoyed, so he spread the news of Zhang He and Xia Jiniang's private exchange.

However, he is very aware of the gap between his family background and Zhang He's, so he has never shown any hostility. Since the last time he saw Zhang He and Li Qing digging potatoes on the western slope, he ran over to provoke trouble, but instead humiliated.

Until Mrs. Song found Zhang He, he was watching the show, but he always felt that something was wrong, so he rushed to inform Li Xun by accident, and took the opportunity to provoke.Li Xun didn't care about Zhang He's attitude, so he fanned the flames, vowing to make Zhang He burn himself.

As for Li Xun, he didn't really want to please, but if Li Xun provoked the Zhang family, and the Zhang family troubled Li Xun, he would also be very relieved.Anyway, even if others knew that he was the one who told the secret, they wouldn't think who was he who was sowing discord.

Li Xun hadn't read many books, so he was fooled by Zhang Hua's instigation, and he ran to Zhang He to trouble him, and even made a fuss about it.He also gave Zhang Hua a lot of benefits for this matter.

Zhang Hua happened to be saving money to marry Xu Xian, so he became more greedy, and taught Li Xun how to take revenge on Liu Dashan, and then the next thing happened.However, he never thought that the Yamen really suspected him. He was just a low-class householder with no contacts or influence in the Yamen. After being beaten again, he was so scared that he said everything.

Zhang He said to Xia Ji Niang: "Ji Niang, look, it turned out that you caused the disaster."

Xia Jiniang was silent for a long time because of this innocent disaster, but when she saw what Zhang He said, she became slightly angry and ignored her for a day.After Zhang He noticed that she was different from the past, he reflected on his behavior, and realized that it was his joke that made her take it seriously, and finally made her flick her forehead several times before getting her forgiveness.

After Liu Dashan came back, Song supported him and took the three children to Zhang He's house to thank him.Liu Dashan originally wanted to wait for his injury to heal before coming here, but she scolded him, saying that if he was still so confused, next time he would really have to die.

Liu Dashan was very ashamed of being scolded by her, after all, he didn't know good people at the beginning, and he didn't listen to Song Shi's advice, and insisted on trusting Li Xun, but in the end he almost ended up with his wife separated and his family ruined.So he gritted his teeth and came over reluctantly. Only in this way can Zhang He see their sincerity.

Zhang He saw that he was not hopeless, so he gave him a chance: "I needed to hire a long-term worker, but you disappointed me, so I gave up the idea. But now I need two people to help take care of it." For a few acres of eggplant fields, until the seedlings are pulled, it will cost sixty cents a day if you do well. If you don’t do well, please leave. Come if you want, and I won’t force you if you don’t want to.”

Liu Dashan made a calculation, 120 Wen a day alone, and [-] Wen a day if he is with the Song family.His three children, the eldest son and the second son, can already help out and find a way to survive.In this way, it is no longer a problem to maintain food and clothing. As for what will happen to them after Zhang He's eggplant field is pulled, it is not for them to think about it now.

After the Lantern Festival, it is rare to see snow in Fuzhou, but it is only cloudy and rainy, which is a sign of spring.

The prefectural yamen has begun to urge the people to perform corvee according to the titles of repairing rivers, transporting official property, and civil engineering issued by the imperial court. Except for official households, female households, single-ding households, and temple households, which can be exempted from corvee service, others All households and so on have a husband.

To Zhang Baochang's mixed joy and sorrow, he was exempted from the [-]-guan exemption fee, but he will still have to serve as the Baochang in the coming year!He asked why it wasn't Li Xun, but Shi Qing replied: "Yamen Guan not only collected the taxes of Qinghe Village in time, but also didn't default on them. The common people praise you a lot. In terms of taxes, you have also done your duty, so it is wise to think that you will still be the chief security officer in the coming year."

The so-called people don't fight with the officials, Zhang Baochang had no choice but to agree.Compared with those who were conscripted to repair the river and washed away because of the spring flood, he was much better.

The Xia family was then arranged to go to Jiangnan East Road to clear the mud-filled canals. Although Fuzhou is faster by water than by land, the distance is also very long.Don't say Xia Er and Xia San are unwilling to go, even Xia Da hesitates.Fortunately, they negotiated to pay the exemption money last year, and all the strength of the family stayed at home to farm.

Taking advantage of his free time, Xia Dashi took Xia Cuishi, Xia Ya, and Xia Jin to Qinghe Village to find Zhang He to borrow grain seeds in a bullock cart.Xia Ya and Xia Jin haven't seen Xia Jiniang for a long time, and they miss her very much, so they clamored to come.Xia Da and Xia Cui thought they had never been to Qinghe Village, so they brought them here.

The two children were very curious and excited along the way, and after a long journey, they were so sleepy that they fell asleep on the haystack.When they woke up after hearing a lot of noise, the ox cart had already driven in from the village head of Qinghe Village, and the Zhang family's mansion was right in front of them.

Xia Jiniang was about to send Zhang Xian, who was going to the village school, out, when she saw two familiar figures getting clearer and clearer on the ox cart.She hadn't seen Xia Cuishi for four or five months, and at this moment joy welled up in her heart, so she hurriedly walked over and called: "Father, Aunt!"

Xia Cuishi raised her head when she heard the voice, Xia Jiniang had already come to her, she immediately grinned and said, "Youyou, it's us!"

Xia Ya was also very happy, and called her on the bullock cart: "Auntie!"

Xia Jin felt a little more strange to Xia Jiniang than before, but Xia Ya was very happy, so he put the strangeness behind him and called out: "Auntie!"

"Little girl, Jin'er, why are you all here?" Xia Ji Niang used to be in Xia's house, and spent a lot of time with these two children, so naturally she cared about them as much as she did her parents.

Xia laughed and said: "Their mothers have to prepare spring clothes for your eldest brother, so they have no time to take care of them, and once we come here, they don't know where to go to play. Thinking that you may not see each other for a long time, I simply took them with me." Here we go. Will it trouble you?"

Xia Jiniang shook her head and said, "Where is the trouble, what did father say?"

Zhang Xian didn't want to disturb them, and after they had happily finished talking about the past, he said, "Lu'er has met Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia."

"Brother Lu is becoming more and more well-behaved." Xia Dao said.

Xia Ya and Xia Jin also greeted Zhang Xian, and Xia Jiniang said: "Father, mother, it's time for Lu'er to go to the village school. I'll send him outside the village first. Erlang is at home. You just sit in the house." " She was afraid that Zhang Xian would not want to go to the village school after his two children arrived.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Weng Weng, what is the village school, I want to go too." Xia Jin asked curiously.He still had a little impression of Zhang Xian, but there was one less person who could play with him, so he felt a little bit reluctant, so he asked.

"The village school is a place where you can learn and read." Xia replied with a big smile.

"I also want to go to the village school."

Xia Da looked at Xia Jin and was silent for a while.Although he also wants his grandson to read and write, but with Xia Luojin's example, he dare not spend too much money to train Xia Jin.In August of this year, if Xia Luojin can no longer be presented, Old Man Xia may not support Xia Luojin to continue reading.

But he didn't want to disappoint his grandson, so he smiled and said: "Okay, but we have to wait until Jiner is older."

Arriving in front of Zhang's house, Xia Cui was slightly surprised: "This place has changed? How can cars get in on these steps?"

Xia Da had already seen it when he came here last time, so he said, "Last time I told you that Dong Bed also built a small yard on the side as a cowshed, and our car will have to enter through that door later. "

The gate of the mansion was not closed either, so Xia Ya and Xia Jin ran in quickly, and Xia Cuishi hurriedly followed behind, but she was more cramped than the two children, and called a few words at the door: "The east bed is here!" ?”

"Here!" Zhang He came out from the cowshed, saw Xia Da and Xia Cuishi, and two small figures in the vestibule looking at the koi in front of the water tank, and said, "My son-in-law still said why the morning Then I heard the magpie cry, it turned out that the father-in-law and mother-in-law have come!"

Xia Cuishi laughed from ear to ear: "Dong bed is better at coaxing people than before."

Zhang He helped General Xia set up the cattle and carts, and led them to sit down in the front hall. Xia Ya and Xia Jin also obediently came to her and said hello.Zhang He wanted to give them candies, but seeing Xia Ya changing her teeth, he let her eat some soft pastries.

After Xia Jiniang came back, she chatted with them for a while, and then Aunt Li and Chen Hong also heard that they came here to meet Xia Cuishi, and Zhang He took Xia Da to the granary to fetch grain seeds.

Xia Cuishi saw that Chen Hong's stomach was already very distended, but Xia Jiniang remained silent, and she was also a little anxious for Xia Jiniang, so she pulled her aside and asked some private words.Xia Jiniang was blushed by her question, but her heart was a little confused. She and Zhang He are both women, where did the child come from?

"Mother, Erlang said there is no hurry."

"Is there any rush? See how much he likes children!" Xia Cui pointed to Zhang He who was showing Xia Ya and Xia Jin to see the koi after picking up the grain seeds.

Xia Jiniang suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to have asked Zhang He if he liked children, and did she ever think about not having children with her?

"Besides, I heard from your cousin that there is a restaurant at the foot of Mount Efeng, and many people want to have a good time there..."

Xia Jiniang couldn't laugh or cry: "Mother, don't you and father understand Erlang's character?"

Xia Cuishi was at a loss for words, thought about it for a while, and felt that it was really unlikely that Zhang He would do such a thing.She added: "No matter what, this child's problem is not small. You don't want to raise your uncle as a child, do you?"

This time it was Xia Ji's mother who was speechless.

Xia Cuishi struck while the iron was hot, and whispered in her ear: "You guys try this first... If it doesn't work, go see the doctor."

Xia Jiniang blushed, she never thought that Xia Cuishi would be so bold and unrestrained in the art of boudoir, even pondering over so many ways to make it easier to conceive a child.

After they went back, Xia Jiniang hurried back to the room to think about how to solve the child's problem with Zhang He.Right now, she is able to withstand many malicious speculations and not care about the issue of having a child, but the reason why Zhang He has never aroused suspicion is that she is not very old, and there are many young men who are as delicate as her.But she is a daughter after all, after another ten years, she still does not have the characteristics of a man, and others are afraid that she will suspect her.

Zhang He poked his head in at the door and saw her in a daze, so he sneaked in, hugged her and kissed her.Xia Jiniang was so frightened that her heart trembled, and when she saw it was her, she pinched her face angrily: "Once father and mother leave, you will reveal your true colors."

"You have something on your mind, and you think too deeply." Zhang He said, "Did your mother-in-law say something to you? Why are you absent-minded?"

Xia Jiniang pondered for a moment, then asked, "Does Erlang like children?"

It only took Zhang He a moment to understand, and he opened his eyes wide: "Could it be that the aunt urging us is not enough, the mother-in-law has also joined the ranks of urging us?"

"Huh?" Xia Jiniang was a little confused.

"I mean, could it be that the mother-in-law was anxious for us seeing that Ji Niang's belly is still so flat?" Zhang He asked.

"How did Erlang know?"

"As a parent, you must worry about these things a lot." Zhang He said with a smile.

"Then have you ever thought that if you are with me, you may never have children in this life?"

Zhang He was a little afraid that Xia Ji Niang would say something hurtful, so he held her hand and said, "Ji Niang, I don't like children, and I have never thought about children when I am with you. How will others think of me?" Don't care, you can't just think about something because of this problem."

Xia Jiniang likes this kind of life, but thinking of the possibility of losing it in the future, she can't calm down, and always wants to do something to avoid such a thing from happening.But when she fell into it, she had already changed such a day, so what was the significance of everything she did?

Touching Zhang He's cheek, she smiled lightly and said, "Erlang is free and easy."

Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "What else did my mother-in-law tell you?" They chatted for a long time, but they couldn't just talk about this one thing, could they?

"Erlang wants to know?"

Zhang He nodded.

"Then Erlang will know in the evening."

Zhang He couldn't help thinking about the bed, she took a deep breath: "What my mother-in-law taught may not be applicable, right? I'd better not know."

Xia Jiniang asked suspiciously: "What did mother teach? What did Erlang think of?"

Seeing her expression, Zhang He knew that he was thinking wrong, and secretly scolded himself a few words, then heard Xia Jiniang get up and kissed her ear, "Erlang might really want to know."

"..."

The author has something to say: the last chapter was indeed a bit long-winded, but instant noodles struggled for a long time whether to write it or not, and then realized that everything has a cause and an effect. There is such a long-winded chapter _(:з"∠)_ (Hey, is it a small spoiler??)
