Fast time to the scumbag

After Qi Rui and Zhang Ran ordered the dishes, they asked Xiao Er to serve the servants on a table. When Hu Bo came back, the food on their table had just been served. At the beginning, there were few inquiries, so it can be seen that Hu Bo is a good bargainer, and he did not deceive Qi Rui. Qi Rui nodded in his heart, but he can reuse it in the future, but he didn't express anything at the moment, just asked Hu Bo to have dinner with other people .

After dinner, Qi Rui wanted to take Zhang Ran for another stroll, but Zhang Ran shook his head: "No, I bought enough things today, and I still have a chance in the future. It's too late to go back, and the lady in the lobby should be in a hurry. Let's I came out in a hurry in the morning and didn't say anything, the lobby wife probably won't touch the food in our kitchen, and I don't know how she solved it for lunch."

Qi Rui thought so too, they haven't been to ancient times for too long, and they are not familiar with the habits here, so they didn't object, and started back to the village with Zhang Ran and the newly bought people. After putting it on the bullock cart, Qi Rui had no choice but to be thankful that he asked Hu Bo to buy a bullock cart at noon, otherwise this pile of things would be really difficult to take.

On the way back, there was an ox cart, so the journey was slower, but it didn't take long. After returning to the village, I met a few villagers, but Zhang Ran didn't show up in the carriage, and the villagers didn't dare to talk to him. Qi Rui was talking, so he just took a look at him from a distance, and then went to gossip with other people.

After a while, the news that the new Mr. Qi bought a few servants and a bunch of good things spread all over Zhangjia Village. In addition, some people saw that Mrs. Lin was looking at the yard at Mr. Qi's place today. I know, Zhang Ran must have followed Mr. Qi to the town. Since Zhang Ran didn't take the ox cart, he must have been sitting in the carriage with Mr. Qi. The villagers suddenly had an idea in their minds. They thought Mr. Qi might He bought Zhang Ran to work. Looking at it now, the treatment is obviously different from that of the servants. Has Zhang Ran really turned into a phoenix by flying on a branch?

Some families have daughters of the right age, and they even think about whether their daughters can marry Mr. Qi as their official wife. Mr. Qi is going to settle in their village, and the ladies who want to come to the town or the county will look down on Mr. Qi. So isn't there hope for their daughter?These people had good calculations in their hearts, but they never thought about whether it was possible for Mr. Qi to marry Zhang Ran as his husband.

Uncle Zhang's family and Uncle Zhang's family also heard the news, because Mrs. Lin was helping Qi Rui look after the yard, so Mrs. Li cooked Uncle Zhang's family's lunch, and she even sent some to Mrs. Lin. What happened, so they already knew that Qi Rui was very kind to Zhang Ran, and now they are more relieved to hear these gossips, but they are not surprised, and they have no other thoughts.

Uncle Zhang's family is different. They never expected that Zhang Ran's skinny appearance could win over Mr. Qi in one night. It seems that they still underestimated him. He said to Uncle Zhang: "Tell me, if Mr. Qi is really fascinated by Zhang Ran, will he avenge Zhang Ran and then deal with us?"

Uncle Zhang frowned: "Sir Qi should just feel sorry for him, right? Mr. Qi can take a fancy to Zhang Ran's malnourished appearance? How can the young master of a rich family have such poor eyesight on someone who even the peasants in our village don't like?"

Sitting aside, Mrs. Cai laughed: "I think that Mr. Qi has a bad heart. This kind of person will be caught by his subordinates sooner or later. You see, he feels Zhang Ran is pitiful now. After a long time, he will lose his sense of freshness. Throwing Zhang Ran aside, if our girl, maybe she can still be a regular wife, and she will have a son and a half daughter, then Mr. Qi's family property will be ours?"

Xiao Cai's eyes lit up: "Yes, I think several families have this idea, but Mr. Qi hasn't built the house yet, so it's hard for them to talk about it. If you want to talk about daughters, our girls are much more beautiful than theirs. .”

Uncle Zhang reprimanded her: "What nonsense, how old is our girl, how old is Mr. Qi?"

Xiao Cai muttered: "Then I will become a concubine in a few years. I don't believe that we can't seduce him with our daughter's methods."

Zhang Sanshu glared at her again, and Xiao Cai shut up now, but Cai said: "Although Zhang Ran said that he signed the deed of selling himself, but we went to the door, can he really deny us? Mr. Qi, let's see what kind of person Zhang Ran is."

Uncle Zhang didn't refute this time, and the girl who happened to be out for an afternoon came back, and the few of them stopped talking, but when Zhang Ran's cousin came in, Zhang Ran was the one who talked about it: "Grandma, I was secretly in Qigong just now. Looking at the door of the young master's house, Zhang Ran has really changed a lot. He is wearing the same satin clothes as Mr. Qi, and even his face is rosy. I also heard the servants that Mr. Qi just bought call Zhang Ran "young master", In the end, Young Master Qi actually asked them to be called 'lords'."

Cai stood up in shock: "What? Mr. Qi, what does this mean? He wants to marry Zhang Ran as his husband?"

Not to mention how Uncle Zhang's family was panicked by this news, the Lin family who also heard these words clearly on the other side was also shocked. Qi Rui actually discovered Zhang's cousin who was hiding on the side. That's what I ordered, but seeing Lin's expression of disbelief now, I just let it go.

Thinking of this, Qi Rui ordered Hu Bo to take other people to pack up the things, then pulled Zhang Ran to Lin's side, and said solemnly: "I plan to marry Zhang Ran as my husband, and I will wait until the new house is built. , I will pick a good day to marry Zhang Ran, and it is estimated that Zhang Ran will be married at the uncle's house, so I want to ask the wife in the lobby to go back and tell the uncle that if there is difficulty in building a house at home, I can lend you some first. I believe that with the skills of my uncle and big cousin, I will be able to return it soon."

Lin nodded in a daze, then took the snack Zhang Ran handed her, and went home in a trance. She waited at the door to realize the meaning of Qi Rui's words. She just wanted to exclaim, but when she looked up, she looked up When he arrived at Little Cai, he quickly lowered his head, adjusted his expression, and then bypassed Little Cai, wanting to go back to his room.

When Xiao Cai saw what Lin was holding, she knew it must have been given by Mr. Qi, and it must be a good thing, so she reached out to grab it, and said while grabbing it: "It's almost time for dinner, don't you still have it?" Go cook, what are you waiting for, give me what's in your hand, and I'll take it in for you."

Mrs. Lin waved her hand, avoiding Mrs. Cai, and walked quickly towards the room, saying, "Don't bother Third Aunt, we are separated, Third Aunt should hurry up and cook, if you are hungry enough Third Uncle and Grandma are not well."

Xiao Cai snorted. Originally, she was stuck here to ask about Mr. Qi's family. Now that she is like this, it is not easy to open her mouth again. It seems that she can only ask her mother-in-law at night. If it is not possible, let her If her daughter went to eavesdrop, Lin would definitely tell her eldest brother about it.

After dinner in the evening, Mrs. Lin and her husband went to Uncle Zhang and Mrs. Li's house together, and told them what Qi Rui said. Uncle Zhang pondered for a while, he didn't think Qi Rui would lie to them, it seemed to be true Want to marry Zhang Ran, although I don't know what's going on, but Uncle Zhang still wants to try his best to let Zhang Ran get married smoothly. As for the future, we can only take one step at a time, at least this is better than what they thought to be a servant too much.

Then if Zhang Ran wants to marry in their family, he can't let Zhang Ran stay in the dilapidated old house when he gets married. Originally, he and Li had saved some money, and they could barely build a house, but he thought If you save more, you can directly build a green brick and tile house. You can borrow it from Qi Rui first, and you will always be able to pay it back in the future. Let people see that Zhang Ran is not without a family.

After thinking it over clearly, Uncle Zhang sent his son and daughter-in-law away, and discussed it with Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li also agreed to borrow money from Qi Rui to build the house first. After the autumn harvest is over, he will move to live in the old house first. They just moved in. Unlike Qi Rui, they are from the same village, so if they only live in the old house for a while, they don't need to buy the old house, which is much more convenient.

After temporarily settling down, Qi Rui couldn't wait to build a house. Because he was in a hurry, Qi Rui planned to hire more people. Although it is the busy season of autumn harvest, there are still many people without land. Qi Rui didn't have to worry about not being able to hire people. He also specially invited the foreman who often built houses for rich families in the town. The foreman also had a lot of people who were used to him. Live in a new house.

The drawings of the new house were also drawn by Qi Rui, and many convenient facilities were added inside. The foreman didn't understand it very well, so sometimes Qi Rui was required to supervise the work, and other times it was enough to leave it to Hu Bo.

Because of the high wages Qi Rui paid, some people in the village with surplus labor also accepted Qi Rui's employment. Qi Rui bought [-] mu of land, most of which were to be rented out, so he took the opportunity to build a house. After a while, I observed these people who came to work. These people came out to work during the busy farming season. They either had no land at home, or the land was not enough to plant. So if they were of good character, Qi Rui felt that they could rent Give them some land, so that they and the villagers will also have interests involved, so they will not be so independent.

After the autumn harvest, Uncle Zhang’s family moved out without much luggage. Qi Rui lent them an ox cart, and the move was completed in one trip. Then Uncle Zhang borrowed money from Qi Rui, signed an IOU, and began to cover himself. Because their house is much simpler and not as big as Qi Rui's new house, so the days when the two houses are completed are almost the same.
