Early spring in the world [farming]

On the first day of Tan Ruyi's wedding, Lu didn't expect to ask her to do anything, but could only follow what Su Deng's mother did when she entered the house.

The first is to establish rules.When eating breakfast, she purposely didn't ask Tan Ruyi to sit down with her. The latter was also very sensible, standing beside her the whole time, serving her vegetables.

Seeing this, Su Beigu pushed the vegetables that were very close to Lu's towards her, pretending not to know that she was teaching Tan Ruyi, and said, "Mother, why don't you pick up the vegetables yourself? It's because the vegetables are too far away. Can't reach it? That's it."

Lu Shi: "..."

She looked at her blind daughter, and then at Tan Ruyi whose expression had not changed. She also knew that the rules could no longer be established, so she sent Tan Ruyi to sit down for dinner.

"Is Sister Ah Qin enough?" Su Beigu used the serving chopsticks to pick up some food for Lu Shi, and later added some for Tan Ruyi.

Tan Ruyi was flattered, with a smile on her face, she thanked her softly.

In order to prevent Lu Shi from having nothing to do and continuing to find trouble for Tan Ruyi, Su Beigu decided to find something for Lu Shi. She asked, "Mother, is there any news about brother? When will he come back from business?"

"It's true which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted." Lu Shi slandered, and looked at Tan Ruyi guilty, and said: "Not yet, I will send someone to the horse shop to ask later."

With concerns in her heart, Lu Shi naturally didn't have time to set rules for Tan Ruyi. After breakfast, she asked Su Bei Gu to take Tan Ruyi around to find out about the situation of the Su family, and then arranged for someone to catch up with her. Go to the horse shop to inquire about Sunan City.

Su Beigu was a little speechless. She had just been back for a few days, and she didn't even know the Su family as well as Tan Ruyi knew about the Su family. How could she introduce it to Tan Ruyi?

For this reason, she can only give a general introduction: "There are not many Su family members, and my father doesn't have any siblings. There are only a few family relatives. These sisters, Aqin, probably know about it, so I won't talk about it."

Tan Ruyi looked at her with a smile: "It's okay, I seldom walk around in the village, so I don't know who the relatives of the Su family are, but I don't need to know now, just wait until you have a chance to introduce me. "

Su Beigu nodded, and then introduced the internal population of the Su family: "In addition to my mother, Sunancheng and me, our family has a maid, a cook, and a child servant."

Tan Ruyi: "..."

It's really simple enough - she didn't refer to the population of the Su family, but to Su Beigu's description.

Tan Ruyi said: "When our two families were in contact with each other before, I have heard that the little girl is called Mu Xiuxiu, who just came the year before last; the cook, Meng Shi, has been in the Su family for seven or eight years; the last is the official's servant boy. Su Lan, a distant relative of the Su family, was originally the youngest son, but because his family was too poor to support so many children, he was sent to the Su family."

Su Beigu: "..."

Isn't this clearer than me? It seems that there is no need to introduce it.

Tan Ruyi rolled her eyes and asked, "But yesterday I saw that there are many helpers at home, who are those?"

"It should be the tenant of the family."

"Tenants" refer to those who have no land of their own and rent the Su family's land to cultivate it.

Regardless of the fact that the Su family is heavily in debt, in fact the Su family still has some land, but two-thirds of it is Lu's dowry back then. Shi is not afraid.

Back then, the Su family was also one of the richest households in the village. From owning dozens of hectares of land to only a few tens of mu of land, apart from the war, the Su family was also profligate and did not know how to run a family business. "Household", a status that comes with tax reductions and exemptions.

Official households not only have the advantage of reducing or exempting taxes, but also exempt from corvee.

For example, with the same [-] mu of land, official households only need to pay the normal summer and autumn taxes, while ordinary households also need to pay many miscellaneous taxes, which are often the bulk of the tax expenditure.

The imperial court also formulated the corvee system. Official households did not need to serve, and ordinary people had to pay a sum of money if they wanted to be exempted from corvee.

All of the above shows that the Su family can use the saved money to buy land, so that the Su family's land will only increase.

But the reality is that whether it is Sunan City or the late Su Deng, they all have the temperament of "drunk today". Not increasing, but decreasing.

If Tan Ruyi can't take over the power of housekeeper from Lu Shi, it will not be easy to maintain the current living standard according to Lu Shi's temperament and ability.

Of course, if Tan Ruyi doesn't know how to run a business, then there is no possibility of changing the status quo of the Su family.

Su Beigu analyzed so much, but he didn't take himself into consideration. One is that she has become a monk, and the Su family's land has nothing to do with her;

Tan Ruyi said "oh", without inquiring about the Su family's property, she said, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't settled my dowry yet, can Bei Gu help me?"

The dowries she brought were piled up in the wedding room, some needed to be stored elsewhere, and some needed to be recorded in the account. There were so many things to do!

Su Bei was puzzled and said, "Sister Aqin handles her dowry, how can I help?"

"Follow me." Tan Ruyi took Su Beigu's hand and hurried back to the room.

After Tan Ruyi began to count her dowry, Su Bei Gu discovered that it was true that the Tan family was discriminated against, but the Tan family was indeed rich.In addition, many people hope that their children will have enough confidence not to be bullied when they come to their husband's house, and they will also prepare a generous dowry, so the dowry that Tan Ruyi brought is quite a lot.

Of course, these dowries are real objects rather than money. For example, the Qin family bought [-] mu of land under her name as part of the dowry, and also made some silver ornaments. The most valuable of these ornaments was a gold bracelet, and the rest There are some cloth and daily necessities.

Tan Ruyi put her things aside, not mixing them with the original things in Sunan City, and put the money into the vase in front of Subei Gu.

Su Bei saw that she was not defensive at all, and felt that this new sister-in-law was really innocent, thanks to her lack of greed, if it was someone else, she might be thinking about how to steal the money.

The new sister-in-law is afraid that she will suffer a disadvantage against Sunan City!

Su Bei Gudao: "Sister-in-law, I'll mind my own business. If your mother or Su Nancheng ask you what you have for your dowry, don't tell me if you can."

Tan Ruyi looked at her with an unhappy expression.

Su Beigu thought she was upset that she was nosy, but she said coquettishly: "I said you don't need to call me 'sister-in-law' in private, and you forgot."

Su Beigu: "..."

Why is the new sister-in-law's focus so strange?

"Ah, yes, sister Ah Qin."

Tan Ruyi tilted her head, and asked curiously: "I noticed earlier that you sometimes call your brother by his first name, as if you have no respect for him, why?"

Mrs. Su Bei Gu couldn't say that she would call Sunan City by his name when she didn't like him, could she?She didn't expect Tan Ruyi to notice such a small detail.

She said: "I am a monk, and I call others according to my own mood."

Tan Ruyi understood, and said again: "I thought he did something to make you angry!" For example, if he chose to run away from marriage without any responsibility, and left the mess to his mother and sister, most people would be angry.

Su Bei Gu nodded: "He is indeed capable, and he is one of the few people who can spoil my good mood. But things have already happened and cannot be undone, so it is meaningless to talk about them."

Tan Ruyi has voluntarily married into the Su family, and the marriage is a foregone conclusion, so what if she is unhappy with Su Nancheng?

Tan Ruyi didn't know what Su Beigu was referring to, so she asked with a smile, "Then should I do something to ease the relationship between your siblings?"

"We have no conflicts, don't bother my sister-in-law."

Tan Ruyi curled her lips and stopped talking.

Su Beigu came to his senses and wondered, "Is sister Aqin dissatisfied with the title 'sister-in-law'?"

"I don't think this title is close enough. What would you think if I always called you 'sister-in-law'?"

Su Bei Gu She thought about it for a moment, and said, "I'm really uncomfortable."

Just as Tan Ruyi showed a "look" expression, Su Beigu then said, "After all, most people call me Daoist Su."

Tan Ruyi: "..."

Su Bei Gu couldn't help showing a faint smile for the next moment: "Just kidding, since you don't like me calling you sister-in-law, then I don't want to call you sister-in-law."

This smile made Tan Ruyi dazed for a moment. She looked at Su Beigu and felt a strange feeling in her heart, as if a voice told her that she wanted to see Su Beigu's smile all the time. Another side that is not easily revealed, she wants to know the real Su Beigu.

The author has something to say:

Lu Shi: You unfilial girl who turns her elbows outward!

Susu: Sister Aqin and I are also in the same family, not counting elbows out!

Lu Shi: ...
