The daily life of the husband who crossed the field

Early the next morning, the housekeeper of the Song Mansion rushed to Zhangjiacun to pick up Zhang Zhen. He was driving a carriage. Zhang Zhen was a little shocked, since he had never seen such a carriage since he crossed. It's a rare thing, after a long time, you will automatically know that it must be something that ordinary people can't afford, at least no one in Zhangjiacun can afford it. This Mr. Song is really extraordinary.

Not to mention that Zhang Zhen had never seen it before, even Li Laosan had only heard of it. He was surprised, but he didn't dare to move his body. Be good, pick them up and send them into the carriage. This Mr. Song is really generous. Once someone breaks it, they will not be able to pay for it. Li Sansao is in the same situation as him.

A group of four people sat in the carriage, none of them looked around or groped or screamed. The housekeeper who had been observing them in the carriage couldn't help but think highly of them. Although this group of people didn't have much knowledge, they were well-bred.

But what the housekeeper didn't know was that for Li Laosan and his wife, they didn't dare to move because they were afraid of damaging other people's valuables, and they thought they were the sons of a village chief, and it seemed too shameful and shameful to yell. .As for Zhang Zhen, the surprise was only temporary. He was too surprised by the carriage after seeing it on the plane and high-speed rail. Up.As for Xu Zijia, this kind of thing has been used a lot before, and there is nothing to explore.

When they arrived at the place, the steward took them out of the carriage, led them into the gate, bypassed a few servants at home, and introduced: "Songwan is Master Song's hometown. After he became an official, he missed his home and came back. You see the master, the master is a generous person, if you have any reasonable requests, just ask."

It turned out that Mr. Song used to be an official. No wonder so many village chiefs and masters looked up to him yesterday. Zhang Zhen got to know Mr. Song better, and he had more concerns in his heart. As for the generosity that the housekeeper said, he didn't take it to heart. , or be careful sailing for thousands of years.

Seeing Zhang Zhen, Master Song said: "I hope it can be done soon, little brother, is it okay?"

Zhang Zhen did not give a specific time, but only assured: "Master Song, please rest assured, I will finish it as quickly as possible."

Master Song was very satisfied after hearing this, and said with concern: "That's good, that's good. I don't know if everyone has breakfast. If not, I'll ask my servants to prepare some."

Zhang Zhen shook his head and said, "I won't waste Master Song's time, we've already eaten at home, now we can go to dig the soil, don't worry if we finish it sooner."

Master Song didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Then I won't say more, let the housekeeper take you there."

The housekeeper took a few people away, and said Master Song's request: "The main thing is to finish it quickly, of course, we must ensure the effect. Our master is a generous person, and there will be rewards for doing well. Haha, you guys, do well!" Just do it."

"Well, I just need to trouble the housekeeper to lead the way. I don't know how many women's and brother's boudoirs are in the mansion. Li San and I are inconvenient to go in and out. We need my wife and sister-in-law to go to the kang, so we won't go in." Zhang Hazel told them about their previous division of labor.

He knew the etiquette quite well, and the housekeeper was more satisfied, but he still had some concerns: "I wonder if there is a difference between Madam and your order?" If the quality is not average, it is not good.

Zhang Zhen affirmed: "There is not much difference, and the inner heart is careful, you can only be better than me, and there will be no effect problems."

Only then did the housekeeper let go of all his worries. Originally, the master planned to have his brothers and female relatives gather in the hall when Zhang Shousong was on the kang, so as to avoid some embarrassment. Now there is no need to worry about this problem.

A total of ten kangs were needed, and it took four people a day and a half to complete it. Master Song was naturally very satisfied with the result. He thought it would take at least three or four days, and he gave an extra four taels of silver when paying the wages. A total of 34 taels.

What was distributed to Li Laosan and the others was 14 taels of silver. Such a large amount of income was obtained in less than two days. Get the money that can only be saved in the past 20 years.

Xu Zijia was also surprised, it took them so long to save more than 30 taels, and it was that much in the past two days, he couldn't help asking: "Then Ah Zhen, if we only do this, will it be faster to save money? "

Zhang Zhen shook his head. After all, Master Song is not the same person as them. There are not many families as rich as them here, and Pan Kang is really easy to learn, "This is not a long-term solution. We can only make money this year. When others have figured this out, then everyone will do it, and it won’t be worth anything.”

Xu Zijia also wanted to understand the key point. Not only Zhangjiacun is poor, but the villages around Zhangjiacun are not particularly rich, and Songwan is richer. Songwan is far away from them, and the location is good, and there are many fertile fields. Otherwise, how could it be possible to cultivate a master who is an official.

Sure enough, in the next few days, although they went to the homes of other village chiefs and masters one after another to set fire kangs, most of them only had one or two kangs. The business was not big, and few people came to Zhang Zhen after taking over the business here. It's hot.

Zhang Zhen said long ago that he would not keep this matter a secret. The village head had already told other villagers how to keep warm in winter. The villagers in other surrounding villages also asked their village head or relatives. Ask, and gradually everyone has mastered it.

In the end, Zhang Zhen earned a total of more than 40 taels of silver through the pan kang. To be honest, this was beyond his expectations. Adding the original 30 taels, it would not be a problem to find people from the village to build brick houses.

"Let me tell you, master, shall we go?" Mrs. Li asked. Someone sent a letter to Li Laosan this morning, saying that he wanted to invite him to buy a kang, but the price is cheaper. A kang is five hundred cash. Everyone has met, they haven't taken this job for several days, and five hundred coins is actually a lot, and that person wants five.

Li Laosan didn't speak, and lay on the kang that he burned at home. At the beginning, he had agreed with Dasong that one kang would cost two taels of silver, and no one could afford less, but five kangs cost more than two taels of silver. He knew that in the future, such business would not be easy to accept, and he was hesitant now. If he went, he would definitely hide it from Dasong, and he felt uneasy.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Li San knew that he was also hesitating, so she picked up the needle and thread and said, "Father, you have to think about it, although the money in your hand is enough for the son to marry a wife, but we must at least prepare for it in the future." There are two dowries. Lan Lan is a girl with similar looks. You don’t have to worry about it in the future. It’s just Xiaofeng, a brother. The dowry will definitely be indispensable in the future. We don’t know how things are going after we get married. We don’t love him , who hurt him?"

Speaking of his own children, Li Laosan finally loosened up, gritted his teeth, opened his eyes and sat up, patted his thigh vigorously with the palm of his hand, and made up his mind: "Sure, I will go tomorrow, but you will You have to keep your mouth shut, don't let Da Song know about it."

"Yeah." Li Sansao knew it naturally, but she couldn't help not caring about it. The head of the family helped Dasong so much. She didn't see Dasong's performance that day, thinking that those big customers were all drawn by the head of the house. Dasong just had an accident. It's just an idea, if you get into trouble with the head of the family for such a trivial matter, then there will be nothing to say in the future.
