The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

Because there are four commanders in the guard commanders and envoys in various places, and it is reported that the Haining Guard that Xiao Yun is going to go to, he is the only one who is going from the capital. It also allows him to take office before the end of March.

Xiao Yun and Jia Yingchun set off early the next morning after the Lantern Festival, mainly by water and supplemented by dry roads. When they arrived in Huzhou, Jia Yingchun still went to the two villages that Wang Xifeng bought for her to check. By the way, I also want to inquire about the character and behavior of the heads of the village and the tenants. After all, these people are not members of the Jia family or the Xiao family, and they will not work under her nose in the future. Naturally, she cannot be very clear about them. Therefore, a proper understanding is necessary, but Jia Yingchun dare not ask them to clean their hands and feet and never embezzle money, but they can't feed their appetite too much, can they?

Jia Yingchun lived in Huzhou for two days. First, she quietly inquired about the situation of the two villages, and found that the income was acceptable. When the master was talking back, his eyes were always gliding. Meng Zhuangtou was a little dull, but he seemed to be very good at farming. When he recalled the crops, his sentences were clear and orderly.

Although the two Zhuangtou knew that the Zhuangzi they were guarding was bought by people in the capital, they didn't know who the buyer was at that time. It was after Jia Yingchun came that he showed them the land deed to prove that They only found out after it was under her name, and they also heard that the master's family was going to Haining to be an official, and they all felt a little happy. You must know that their old boss was just a local rich man who later went to Jinling Well-developed, I hated the bad harvest here, so I wanted to change hands, but I didn't expect the new owner to have more background.

Jia Yingchun is not an idiot either, she saw a little joy in the people below, how could she guess what they were thinking?Then he sternly warned: "Don't think that my husband is an official, just want to use his name as a power, if you want me to know that any of you dare to ruin the reputation of the master's family, I will directly tie him up Send it to the official for strict handling, there is absolutely no such thing as taking care of your relatives here, so if you have any thoughts, you'd better think clearly about the consequences before doing it."

"What madam said is, how dare we have such silly thoughts, but the place of Haining, we all know it is not a good place, madam can't afford to be served there, my girl is just 14 years old this year, if madam doesn't dislike her If so, let her serve you by your side." It was Hu Zhuangtou's wife, Shen Shi, who was talking, and when she saw that Xiao Yun and Jia Yingchun were wearing high-quality materials, even the maid beside Jia Yingchun Seeing that she was no worse than the master, she immediately thought of the eldest daughter behind her. It just so happened that she was worried about her daughter's marriage, and a good thing would come to her right away, why wouldn't she be moved?

"Dislike?" Jia Yingchun slightly raised her eyes to look at the girl behind Shen, just in time to see her secretly looking at Xiao Yun with a shy look, she couldn't help but sneered in her heart, if she really treated this kind of person If she accepts it, she will really have her brains pinched between the doors! !So he only paused for a moment, and then continued: "The maids around me have been with me since childhood. Even if I want to add a new maid, I will only find a younger one to adjust, and then I will use it close to me after teaching, like Your daughter is so... too old, I don't think I can dislike her."

"Ah?! But, but how can the little girl's hands and feet be neat? My girl has been working with us and my husband in the fields since childhood, and she is the most hardworking girl. Madam took her with her, so it happened to be less training for a girl?" Shen's embarrassment was only fleeting, and then she retorted cheekily.

"We don't like to hear Mrs. Hu's words. Why don't you tell me something you don't know. The maid who can serve the second master and grandma in front of you is our grandma who has asked her to confirm that she will be released to marry in the future. Yes, none of them have any other thoughts in their hearts. I know that you have seen the world and think that some things seem normal, but I want to tell you that things that others think are normal are impossible here. What happened, let alone our grandma didn't allow it, even the second master himself didn't want it. I also remember that I didn't know when last year when someone in the house mentioned an old story, saying that there was a maid who relied on her parents It was my wife's dowry, so I tried to seduce our second master over and over again, but in the end, the second master sold the maid in a fit of anger, and now people don't know where it is, if Miss Hu doesn't want to be here If you stay longer, you can tell grandma as soon as possible that the deed of selling your lives is in grandma's hands, and whether you will go or not is just a matter of grandma's words." Standing behind Jia Yingchun, Xiuju couldn't help but When Jia Yingchun opened her mouth, she coldly scolded Mrs. Shen and the girl from the Hu family who were obviously very ambitious.

"How can madam be like this? I heard that in those rich families, who are masters and young masters, who doesn't have one or two concubine aunts? It's not the rule when it comes to madam? Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you for being narrow-minded?" Miss Hu suddenly raised her head and retorted unconvinced.

"It's really what you said. I really don't care much. If my husband's nature dictates it, then I can only admit it. But since he doesn't have this ambition, why should I be a villain in vain? Wisdom and magnanimity also depend on it." The situation, not everything can be compromised." Jia Yingchun glanced at Miss Hu lightly, and replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Why are you talking so much to them? It's enough to explain the things that need to be explained. If you want to study these things, you might as well focus on the business. If you can't do it, it's not like I don't have others You can look for it, if not for a while, and the sister-in-law of the father-in-law's family said that you have been here for a long time, and you must be more familiar with the affairs of the village than others. Just because you dared to speak rudely to your wife just now, I have enough There is a reason to sell you and change the whole family to do things." Xiao Yun stared impatiently at the three members of Hu Zhuangtou's family, and said coldly.

"Don't dare! Don't dare! My mother-in-law was confused for a while, please don't blame them, sir and madam." Hu Zhuangtou pulled back Aunt Hu who was still about to speak, gave her a hard look, and hurriedly He leaned over and begged.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you, anyway, you can do it yourself, Meng Da, you are the same, as long as you do well, I will not treat you badly, you know?" Jia Yingchun really didn't want to talk nonsense with the three of the Hu family So, it was just a casual reminder, and the whole Meng family also reminded them.

"I understand, ma'am, don't worry, my son can help me now, and there will only be a lot more work we can do in the future." Meng Da pointed to a young boy behind him, and smiled honestly.

"Hmm... how old are you, the boss? Have you ever read a book?" Jia Yingchun only focused on the Meng family now. Meng Da has a son and a daughter... families with sons are more promising than the Hu family , the boy looks at most eleven or twelve years old, a little shy, the girl is only six years old, her small eyes are clear and flexible.

"I'm more than 11 years old this year. I went to a private school for two years and learned some characters. Unfortunately, it's not that material, so I didn't read any more." Meng Da replied.

"Where's that girl?" Jia Yingchun pointed to the little girl again and asked.

"My little girl is only six years old, and she still doesn't understand anything." Master Meng hurriedly replied.

"Madam, that girl of theirs is half a pot of medicine and only knows how to spend money. You don't want her to serve you by your side, do you?" Shen interrupted very abruptly.

"Grandma didn't ask you again, what are you talking so much about?" Xiuju snapped.

"I didn't... I didn't...." Shocked, she quickly covered her mouth and denied it repeatedly.

Everyone in Meng family was frightened by Shen's words. She hugged her daughter in panic, and looked at Jia Yingchun with pleading eyes. It seemed that she had never thought of giving her daughter to be a maid, but she said That's right, as far as she knew, although the youngest daughter of the Meng family was weaker, she wasn't as inseparable from medicine as Lin Daiyu was back then.

"Don't I even have the right to ask a few questions? Besides, I won't favor one person over another. Since I don't want your daughter, there is no reason to take her away." Jia Yingchun snorted lightly, and looked dissatisfied at Shen's Said.

Shen still covered her mouth and shook her head vigorously, but she didn't know if she felt that Jia Yingchun shouldn't ask more questions?Still feel that Jia Yingchun shouldn't care about one thing and lose another?In short, for a big-hearted woman, Jia Yingchun thought it was a waste of time to even look at her, so she only asked one question and ignored Shen.

After Jia Yingchun and Xiao Yun met the two families, they set off for Haining again the next day. Hu Zhuangtou and Meng Zhuangtou also told Jia Yingchun that when they arrived in Haining early next month, they would make preparations. Send some dry goods over, and identify the location of the master's house by the way.

But Jia Yingchun told them not to worry, after Haining settled down, people would come over and order them to send some things over.

In just a few days, Xiao Yun and his party stepped into the territory of Haining. It is said that when he just got the appointment order years ago, Xiao Yun asked Mo Yun to come here first. Mo Yun bought a three-story house in the city. Small courtyard, so he didn't wait for Xiao Yun to ask, he took the initiative to lead everyone to that small courtyard to settle down, and the next day, Xiao Yun went to Haining Guard to report, and he didn't come back until three or four days after he went there.

During this period, Jia Yingchun also discovered that this place is actually more prosperous than she imagined, so she couldn't help asking curiously, Xiuju smiled and explained to him: "Actually, I only found out yesterday that there is a The wonder is called Qiantang Autumn Tide. Every July and August, many people come here to watch the tide. It is said that the scenery in Yanguan Town is the best, but it is also very dangerous, so ordinary people will not live there. "

Jia Yingchun suddenly realized that it turned out to be the famous Qiantang Tide... It's a pity that she never saw it in her previous life. I don't know if she will have the chance to see such a wonder in this life?However, as far as she knows, when the tide in the Qiantang River estuary is high, it is indeed very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die. She doesn't want to risk her life to play. Just a glance.
