Time Traveling: The Little Hou Ye is the Head of the House

"I'm so happy to be able to marry you." Yan Niang held his hand with a gentle smile in her eyes.

Ma Tan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "It is the happiest thing in my life to be able to marry you. My father-in-law, mother-in-law, two

How is uncle? "Then changed the subject.

Yan Niang nodded: "Everything is fine. My elder brother takes my elder brother to hunt every day, and my father manages the fifteen-acre orchard. My mother said that the family is happy as long as these small days are lived."

Tan Ma is also very kind to the old Orion's family, and has a good impression of him.The Yue family saves trouble, and the conditions are reasonable in the village. Any son-in-law would like it.And every son-in-law is afraid of the poor Yue family, because he is afraid that the daughter-in-law will use her own money to help the Yue family. Although the old Orion's family cannot be compared with the Ma family, but the young life is prosperous, and the adopted son is very capable. .

Speaking of this, let's talk about Yanniang's dowry, which included ten acres of land, which surprised Ma Tan, and made his impression of that brother-in-law even better.

Ten acres of land, only 20 taels of silver, where can ordinary families have, but the eldest brother took it out without hesitation, and the old Orion's family also has fifteen acres of fruit trees, which shows that the old Orion's family has some savings.It is said that after the uncle came, the life of the old Orion's family improved.

Who doesn't like people who know how to repay their kindness?

"When you said that, I remembered." Ma Tan said, "Didn't you say before that you don't know what to use for your ten acres of land? Why don't we rent it out to our father-in-law and see if they want to build an orchard?" .”

"Huh?" Yan Niang opened her eyes wide, "How much is the rent?"

Ma Tan smiled, and pinched her nose: "The rent is just a little bit, two taels of silver a year, how about it? Of course, we can eat the fruit as we like."

"Isn't this letting our parents take advantage of us?" Yan Niang said deliberately.

Ma Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We are not short of money, and the left and right fields are also left, why not rent it to father-in-law and mother-in-law^"

"Then I'll talk to my parents tomorrow." Yanniang said.

"I'll go with you next time." Ma Tan said, "I'm worried about your big belly. I'm really busy today, so I can't leave. If you're in a hurry, you won't be allowed next time."

"Listen to you."

In fact, there is no need to wait for tomorrow, at the end of September, the second prince brought Dumb to Ma's house, and the servants of Ma's family rushed to the shop and called Tan Ma.

"Two uncles." Ma Tan was also very happy to see them. "Before, Yanniang and I were still thinking about finding a day to see you and your father-in-law and mother-in-law, but I didn't expect you to come."

The second prince smiled and said: "The rice harvest is bumper, and there is new rice. My mother-in-law thought that you might not have eaten it yet, so she asked me to send a generation." A generation of rice weighs about a hundred catties.

In fact, for one mu of land in the old Orion’s family, the rice is harvested twice a year in May, with a total of about 1200 catties of rice, which is just enough for their family to feed for a year.

One hundred catties of rice, according to the country's rice price regulations, two taels of silver.In addition, the second prince came over and brought game.So the two families get along very well.

"I also ask my uncle to thank my father-in-law and mother-in-law on my behalf." Ma Tan said, "I have some wine in my shop. This kind of wine is very good. When my uncle returns, please bring two bottles for me."

"Brother-in-law is really polite, so thank you for my brother on behalf of my adoptive father."

Then they talked about renting the land. Since it was Ma Tan's wish, the second prince agreed instead of the old Orion and Orion's wife. Now the old Orion's family is actually the second prince in charge.

In the end, when Ma Tan stayed with them for lunch, the second prince left with the excuse that he still had something to do.It's okay to eat once in a while, but if you stay to eat often, favors don't seem to matter.

However, when the second prince saw the wine Ma Tan brought, he was very astonished.Red wine, it turned out to be red wine.Red wine was invented by Lord Li Xiaohou. His eyes were a little moist. He didn't expect to be able to drink red wine here.

"Brother?" The idiot looked at him puzzled, is brother going to cry?

"It's okay." The second prince said, "Let's go, let's go buy some roast duck, add this wine, and we can have a good meal after lunch when we go home."

"I like to eat roast duck, but I don't like to drink alcohol." The idiot expressed his opinion, "It's not a good boy who drinks alcohol." It's funny that the big man still wants to be a child.

"The foster father drinks the wine, you eat the roast duck." The second prince said.

"Then buy a few more mung bean cakes, I still like to eat mung bean cakes." The idiot made an aggressive comment.

"Okay." The second prince agreed to him. During this period of time, hunting and fishing earned him two taels of silver a month.Now the old hunter doesn't take his money anymore, and let him save the money he earns every month.The second prince thought about it, but in terms of life expectancy, he must be longer than the old Orion and Orion's wife, and he will take care of the fool in the future, so it's good for him to save some money.But every month, he would give 500 coppers to the Orion's daughter-in-law, and all they ate was their own, and 500 coppers was enough.

And every time he came to the town to sell prey, he always bought something to go back.

After buying roast duck, the second prince took the fool to buy mung bean cake.There was a jewelry shop next to the pastry shop. When the Second Prince used to be famous, he would buy things for his concubine at home, so when he saw the jewelry shop, he hesitated for a while, and then walked in.

"Guest, what do you want to buy?" The shopkeeper greeted him, "Is it for your wife?"

"My elder brother didn't bully me." The fool said.

"Uh..." The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed.

"It's for my mother." The second prince explained, "My mother is getting old and doesn't have anything on her. The family conditions were not good in the past, but now it's better. I want to buy something for her."

When the second prince said this, the shopkeeper understood that women with poor conditions look older and rougher, and such people are not suitable for those who are too fancy: "What do you think of this silver hairpin? And this silver hairpin?" Earrings. Two sets, with a little jade on top of the silver. They are all popular in big cities, for wives."

"Then how about these two things? How much is it? The second prince asked."

"I'll charge you one or two taels of silver." The shopkeeper said, "This thing is cheap, just buy a style."

"Thank you." The second prince simply paid the money.

"Brother, do you see this?" The fool picked up something and played with it.

The second prince looked at it, this is a pipe.

"This item is expensive, it costs five taels of silver." The shopkeeper said, "But it is suitable for the elderly, just for fun."

The second prince nodded: "The pipe is just a thing, but you can't smoke too much, or it will be bad for your health." "Brother, I still know a little about this thing." The shopkeeper said.

The second prince smiled, and said to the idiot: "Let's go, go back."

"Go back." The idiot put down his pipe and happily followed his elder brother away. "Brother, wait until we have money to buy a donkey cart."

The second prince was surprised: "Buy a donkey cart? What do you want a donkey cart for?"

"I drive donkey carts to make money." The fool said naturally, "I want to make money too."

"What do you want to make money for?" The second prince asked again.

The idiot chuckled: "Buy a pipe for daddy." He also had his own ideas, but the ideas he expressed before were too childish, so the second prince was taken aback for such a mature idea this time.

He is a fool who doesn't know that the money to buy a donkey cart is much more expensive than the money to buy a pipe. "We don't buy donkey carts." The second prince said, "We buy carriages." Horses are more expensive than carriages, and a horse is tens of taels of silver, which is even more unaffordable.

A tael of silver can really kill a tough guy. I didn't know the hard work of making money before, but now I know it.I also understand that the frontier soldiers have no military pay for several years, and they can't survive this day at all.That's why Li Luo is so important to Huaguo, and he can be respected by so many people, because he can make money, and the money he makes solves many needs.Let the court of Huaguo no longer feel sorry for the soldiers or the common people because of money.

The brother handed over four copper coins and went back in a donkey cart.

Back home, Orion's daughter-in-law saw what the second prince gave her, her eyes were red, and she was very moved.And her face was also red, the first time she received a gift, it was not from her daughter or son, but from her adoptive son, so she had to be shy.When I took it out to wear, I asked the old Orion if it looked good. The old couple blushed a little and said, "It looks good." So, the old couple in their 40s couldn't help but set fire to it.At this age, men still have needs, but women's needs are not great.But this night, the two of them seemed to be back when they were newly married.

The next day, Orion's daughter-in-law went to the river to wash clothes, wearing the silver hairpin and silver earrings bought by the second prince, her face was also very rosy.There are other villagers who wash clothes together by the river.Seeing her outfit, I couldn't help asking: "Ah, your earrings are beautiful, are they expensive?"

"Where is the earring, look at this silver hairpin, it is also very beautiful."

"You are really willing to buy."

Everyone chatted with each other.

Orion's daughter-in-law said: "I didn't buy this myself, how could I be willing to buy it, it was bought for me by my adopted son who went to the town before.

When she said this, everyone was envious for a while, and there was still a bit of jealousy.

"Your adoptive son is over 20, when will the daughter-in-law say?" Someone asked.Naturally, everyone wouldn't, the second prince and Orion's daughter-in-law wanted to be wrong, but looking at their images, they couldn't be wrong.One is a village woman in the country, and the other is a handsome man.No matter how you look at it, it is the age of mother and child.

"Yes, my family has a niece who is also old, do you want to meet her?"

"Hey..." Orion's daughter-in-law sighed, "You guys know the situation of Dumb, he said that he can't get married. In case a wife is married here, and the memory is recovered later, there is already a wife over there, that is to stop the wife It is against the law to remarry and remarry without a wife, he cannot implicate innocent girls."

"It's a pity."

"That's right."

"What a boy."

Orion's daughter-in-law thought, if dumb can marry a daughter-in-law, it will be your turn.

The second prince is 34 this year. Yan Niang gave birth to a daughter in May. Ma Tan likes it very much, but Ma's family seems to have a slight word for it.Giving birth to the first child is actually quite good in the eyes of the second prince, even in the royal family, the first child does not matter if it is a prostitute, as long as it can be born.

Moreover, in the aristocratic family, a daughter-in-law is second only to a son-in-law, and even more precious than a son-in-law.

When Yanniang was confinement, the old Orion's family went to the Ma's house again. In fact, they have never been there since Yanniang was pregnant. The second prince and the fool went to visit once a month. Selling things in the town, I met Yanniang once at Ma Tan's shop, and gave Ma's family some game and seafood, and even some vegetables I grew myself.

Ma Tan has always been nice to Yan Niang, and even got better and better afterward.One is that Yanniang is gentle and considerate, and the other is that the father-in-law is worry-free and generous.In fact, it was the second prince who was generous, and the old Orion and Orion's wife didn't think so much.In the heart of the second prince, although Yan Niang is a righteous sister, she is like a daughter according to her age.

So for Yan Nian, he loves him a little bit.

Women who have just given birth need to make up for it. In terms of body repair, pheasant is really good.So when he went hunting two days ago, the second prince was looking for pheasants to hunt.

The male relatives were outside, and the Orion's wife went into the inner courtyard to see Yan Niang.

"Mother." Seeing Orion's daughter-in-law, Yanniang wanted to get up happily.

Orion's daughter-in-law hurried forward: "Lie down and don't move. How is your body? Is it better?"

"Mother, I'm fine." Yanniang said, "My delivery went relatively smoothly, and my body recovered quite well."

"How is your son-in-law treating you?" Orion's wife asked.

"Well, my husband is very kind to me." Yanniang had a faint smile on her face, she was very kind.She felt very happy to be able to marry Ma Tan. "However, the old lady doesn't seem to like her great-granddaughter very much and wants a great-grandson."

"I don't care about them," said Orion's daughter-in-law, "as long as the son-in-law treats you well, it's okay. You should mention it to your son-in-law and separate. And whether you can have a son or not is not up to you. Flower first, then bear fruit , which is also a good sign.”

"Mother, I understand, I won't be sad. I love my daughter as much as my son. I am a daughter, and you all love me so much. I want to love my daughter too." Yan Niang said.

Orion's daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if you think so. Husband and wife should learn to be tolerant and don't haggle over every detail. The son-in-law Yang's family has worked hard, so you have to be considerate and understanding to her. A little bit of grievance is accepted, but Don't be afraid of being bullied, there are father and mother at home."

Yan Niang was very moved: "Daughter knows, thank you mother."

Her own daughter knew that although Orion's daughter-in-law was worried, she could only worry so much.She can only wait for the next thing.

After seeing Yan Niang, the old Orion's family left Ma Mansion.

"My lady." Ma Tan returned to the room, "It's been a hard day today^"

Yan Niang shook her head: "It's not hard work, as long as our family is happy, I won't work hard."

"Thank you, lady." Ma Tan said.

"But..." Yan Niang hesitated to speak.

"But what?" Ma Tan asked.

"But grandma doesn't like her daughter." Yan Niang said, "Grandma wants a great-grandson, I..."

"Fool." Ma Tan kissed his forehead. "Bloom first and then bear fruit. I love my daughter as much as I do, and we are still young. When we have a daughter, our son will come too. Don't worry."

Yan Niang's eyes turned red: "Thank you, Mr. Xiang."

"Fool, there is no need to say thank you between husband and wife." Ma Tan said.

Yan Niang thought for a while and said: "Master, can we... can we have our own house? I want to move out."

Ma Tan doesn't like people with complicated thoughts, and Yan Niang has never had complicated thoughts in front of him.She is gentle and pleasant, and she will tell him whatever she thinks in her heart. He, a businessman, likes such a wife very much. "I also have the same idea. How about we move out when our daughter grows up?"

Yan Niang's eyes lit up: "Okay."

"I thought about it, let's buy a second-tier house, about 200 taels of silver, and then the family will live a good life, okay?" Ma asked.

"Thank you, Mr. Yan." Yan Niang leaned into Ma Tan's arms, feeling warm in her heart and eyes.

In the second year, the second prince was 35 years old, and the apple and pear trees blossomed and bore fruit.In July, the apple harvest began. The ten acres of apples from his own land, plus the ten acres of apples from Yanniang’s dowry, made a total of twenty acres of apples. The yield was 3000 catties per mu, adding up to 6 catties.They wholesaled it directly, 5 copper plates per catty, a total of 300 taels of silver, and some expenses such as labor costs were removed.

Apple made 100 taels of silver.

There are also five acres of pears.The pears are harvested in October, 6000 catties per mu of land, 30 catties per mu of land, but 2 copper plates per catty, a total of 600 taels of silver, after labor costs, etc., there are still 300 taels.

Apples and pears made a total of 400 taels of silver.

Seeing the silver in his hand, the second prince took it.For the first time in my life, I earned so much fruit.However, the second prince didn't think about other things, such as whether to have more varieties.Money is to be earned, but not too much, as this will easily lead to unnecessary troubles.

The old Orion's family had leftover apples and li, which were distributed among the villagers.This year, the villagers in the village have apples and pears to eat every day.

Of course, the Ma's family also had endless fruits, and the second prince sent them box by box, and the best and biggest ones were delivered.

Today, when the second prince delivered the left and right batches of apples, the vests were arguing.

"I don't agree with your separation," the old lady said.

In the hall are the uncle's family, the second uncle's family, Ma Tan and his wife.

"Ah Tan, tell grandma who asked you to move out, you are living well here, is someone instigating you?" The old lady's eyes swept over the first aunt, second aunt and Yan Niang.Of course, the youngest grandson is the one who loves the most, and Ma Tan has no parents, so the old lady inevitably has a preference for him.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt felt very innocent, how could they have such an idea.Moreover, Ma Tan has his own shop, knows how to do business, and is not the kind of person who doesn't do production, so they all heard that they liked this nephew.So they said right away.

"Mother-in-law, how could I let Ah Tan move away? Our family is so big, it will be more lively if we live in Ah Tan's family more. I'm too happy for it." The aunt said.

"Yes." The second aunt also said, "Uncle is gone, we are all concerned about Ah Tan." The yard was bought by the eldest uncle and the second uncle, because they earned the money together.

"That's you?" The old lady looked at Yan Niang, "Did you encourage Tan to move away? Why are you so unruly? It's been the third year since I entered the house, and I don't have two sons. Now you want to encourage Ah Tan to move away again? What do you think of Ah Tan? Do you think Ah Tan is rich?"

"Grandma, I don't, I just want a home of my own." Yan Niang said.

"Grandma, I don't care about my wife's affairs. I want to move away." Ma Tan said, "My daughter is two years old. Although my eldest uncle and second uncle treat me like my own son, I am not young after all. A man can start a family and start a business." , I have some property, so I should have my own home. Even if the Ma Mansion is good, it is not my home after all. After I have a son and a grandson, I will always have my own home. "

"Presumptuous." The old lady said, "You don't have a son now, but you still miss your grandson. This woman must have hurt you. I used to think she was virtuous and good, but it turned out that she was greedy for your money. She couldn't give birth by herself. If you give birth to a son, I should give you a concubine. The family is poor, so the daughter of such a family..."

"What's wrong with the daughter of such a family?" When the second prince was invited in, he heard a lot of words.Because he often comes to deliver things, he is very familiar with the servants and housekeepers at the gate of the Ma Mansion, and when he comes to deliver things, he usually gives some food to the servants and the housekeeper, using other methods. People can take care of Yan Niang.If the number of times came too much, the boy invited him in directly without notification.I just didn't expect something to happen today.

"Brother." Yan Niang burst into tears when she saw the second prince.

"Brother brother." Seeing the second prince, Tan Ma was also a little embarrassed.Especially the second prince was carrying a box of apples, and people came to deliver things, they seemed to have bullied Yan Niang to death here.

The second prince sneered: "When the old lady asked to marry my younger sister, she also knew about our family's situation. If you come to dislike my family today, isn't it a slap in the face of yourself?"

"You...you..." The old lady was furious at what the second prince said. "You are a junior, you have no education."

"Of course I don't need the old lady to bother about my upbringing. My younger sister is very virtuous. You speak of her in front of the public like this. Have you ever thought about her situation? So what if she hasn't had a son for three years? She was pregnant the first year she entered the house, and gave birth in the second year. This year is only the third year. Who doesn't give birth every year? It is the eldest uncle and the second uncle, and the interval is not only three years old, could it? Didn't the old lady give birth every three years?" The second prince asked back.

"You...you..." The old lady was furious, "Kick him out, someone, come and drive him out."

"Mother, calm down." The uncle stepped forward, "Mother, calm down, what my nephew said is not pleasant, please forgive him for being impulsive, he is just worried about his sister, you are an elder, don't talk to the younger generation Care about." In fact, the uncle thinks that it is good for the nephew to move out and set up his own family.Although he didn't care about his nephew living here, after all his nephew grew up and couldn't live here for a lifetime. Their generation was fine. In the future, his son's generation and grandson's generation would always gossip.

Moreover, the nephew himself has the money to buy a house outside. Even if he has no money, the two uncles of the two of them can help some. I really don't know what his mother is fussing about.
