[Red Mansion] Father and Son Crossover

Chapter 21 Trouble is coming

All land reclamation and planting must be completed within three months. It sounds easy, and the time given is not short, but in fact it is very tight. First, there are everything on the hillside that needs to be cleaned up. The ground needs to be leveled, and stones, tree roots, etc. need to be cleared inch by inch. This is a time-consuming task. As for planting, it is actually the easiest one.

When the whole village is busy, and there are no helpers, all of them have to do it themselves, this job is done, it is really not exhausting.Waiting for all these things to be sorted out with great difficulty, each family feels that they can take a breather, and the autumn harvest is coming, and each family has to continue to be busy.In this way, the past few months are really like a big war.

Waiting for all the things to be busy, the people in the whole village lost a lot of weight, not to mention their spirits.If it hadn't been for Jiao Yufeng's scruples from the very beginning, since his house was built, the meat and bones would have been taken to the village. One, the Xi family will send one to everyone, I am afraid that I will get tired and sick for several times this time.But even with such a rare meatiness, he almost lost the strength to speak.Even those like Jiao Yufeng and his father and son, whose bodies have been transmigrated and transformed, whose strength can almost be regarded as strongmen, are no exception.

No, Jiao Yufeng was sitting in his newly built yard this day, holding carpenter's tools in his hands, but his hands didn't move at all, leaning against the wall, squinting his eyes, his whole body was as if he had no bones , and said to Jiao Shibo:

"How about it? Is the table ready? What about the water? Hurry up and pour a bowl for your father and me. Dinner should be ready by now, don't forget to get some pickles, your mouth is so bland and tasteless. . . ”

It's really a pity that Jiao Shibo is not an ordinary five-year-old child, otherwise his father would make people feel dizzy.Fortunately, Jiao Shibo is really a very filial child. Although he can't help but refute a few words in his mouth, he never compromises in his actions.

"Dad, didn't you say it yourself? How many things do you want to do yourself? Don't be too eye-catching? Why are you only counting on me now?"

While talking, he flipped through it, and a simple and elegant Eight Immortals table suddenly appeared in the yard. Jiao Yufeng was so happy to see it, he grinned, waved his hands carelessly, with a dragging sound, lazily said:

"Your father is tired. I haven't worked hard in the field for many years. If we didn't have cows in our house, my old bones would be broken. It's because I have a lot of strength and a good body to hold on, yes Alright, did you go to the next door to see it? Has your grandfather recovered from his body?"

This time, each family opened up a lot of land. Even the old Wang's family next door, which was considered prosperous in the village, couldn't hold on. Uncle Wang was so tired that he lay down for three days.Not to mention other families, for the sake of Jiaoda's land development, the cows specially bought and delivered have been used for public use, which has laid a solid foundation for Jiaoda to gain a foothold in this village.

"It's much better. I can go out for a walk early this morning. Dad, I see that they are more than a step worse than us. How can they be so good at this matter? I've lost some weight, but I'm recovering pretty quickly."

"They're used to doing this, and they still have the title deed for their anger, so they will recover quickly."

The father and son were chatting lively here, enjoying the rare leisure, but outside it gradually became a little noisy, not at all like yesterday, the whole village was quiet and self-cultivated.After waiting for a while, there were still some noisy voices, and they kept coming to his house.This time something was wrong, Jiao Yufeng frowned, couldn't sit still anymore, got up directly, opened the door and started to walk out.

In the distance, Wang Dalang led a few men from the village and was walking quickly. When he saw Jiao Yufeng, he immediately greeted Jiao Yufeng and walked a few steps quickly. He did not enter the house when he reached the door, and said to Jiao Yufeng at the door:

"Jiao Dalang, something bad happened."

"what happened?"

"What else can you do? You know Huaishu Village in front of you. A few days ago, you also learned from the one where we opened up a lot of wasteland."

"Oh, there, you know, you know, what happened to them?"

"Their village is close to the river. I don't know if it's luck this time. Along the river, a paddy field of ten mu has been opened. It was originally agreed that it is the public property of the village. If it is profitable, it will be counted according to the head of the village. , so that it can be used to pay taxes for each family. It is well said. I don’t want to know who is quick to talk about this field, oh, and the three-year tax exemption. Now it’s all right, it’s eye-catching, and it’s attracting people’s attention. It’s not considered land reclamation, and they are asked to pay for the land, and if they don’t pay, the land will be assigned to the steward of a big family. Tell me, This thing..."

Got it, I said, why rush to his house in such a hurry, I want him to help me find a way.It is said that after fighting Jiao Yufeng and showing that he was familiar with Hou Tutou and the others, Jiao Yufeng's status in the village has risen in a straight line, coupled with Jiao Da's relationship, and their family's current field and house, although they do not have the name of the village chief But in fact, in this small village, Jiao Yufeng has become the backbone of the whole village. Even those old people are willing to listen to Jiao Yufeng's suggestions, such as planting some vegetables beside the fields, or planting trees on both sides of the road. etc.Connecting with the villages next door to open up wasteland, because Hou Tutou and the others came a few more times, seeing Jiao Yufeng talking to them, Jiao Yufeng also had a little more awe and trust.

Therefore, now that something happened in the village of the in-laws next door, it is quite normal to seek his help.But you want to say whether Jiao Yufeng wants to take care of this matter?God, grandpa, he really doesn't want to care about this matter, it's not that he has no kindness and doesn't know how to help others, but that this matter is so normal around the capital.He knew who probably did it, Zuo was just a servant of those wealthy families.

Think about the later family property of Laida's family in the book, and the life of slaves and maidservants.Any fool can know that, relying on the name of the old Jia family, these stewards are probably bullying the weak, buying and selling by force. Support such a family business?

And Lai Da is just typical, the biggest torment.How many like this are there in Jia's house?That's really hard to say, I'm afraid no one in charge is clean.And this capital has four princes and eight princes, clan relatives, royal family, and high officials of the court. . .How many such stewards are there in so many families?If you want Jiao Yufeng to say, what are the rich and powerful families the most?It's not silver, but a slave!

In this way, do you think there will be fewer such incidents around here?What's more important is that such powerful servants are also married to each other. If you want to attack one, you will immediately come out to help.So, Jiao Yufeng really didn't want to care about it.

But he looked up again, and saw the trusting eyes of the villagers around him. He couldn't tell if he didn't care. They were all relatives and neighbors, although he and them seemed to have nothing to do with them in terms of blood. . .That's all, no matter whether you can manage it or not, let's give it a try anyway, if it's just a small manager of a small family, maybe we can help with Jiao Da's name.

"Can I find out which house is in charge?"

With such an idea in mind, Jiao Yufeng began to ask about the details. He is not out of the question. Even if he is willing to intervene, there is a limit, and he will never involve himself in it. Anyway, let's see if I can ask someone to pay some money, at least to recover some of the losses, right?

"I asked, what is the family of Mr. Lai, Jiao Dalang, Mr. Lai... Do you know which one it is? We are familiar with the capital, why haven't we heard of an official with such a surname?"

"Hehe, what kind of official is it that you make such a fuss over ten acres of paddy fields? If you are like this, go to a few surrounding villages first, and ask honestly, where else has this steward been eyeing, and under this steward's name, or even What is the name of Mr. Lai's family, how many fields are there nearby, what is the name of Mr. Lai, and what is the name of this manager? Think about it."

"It's easy to say, as long as it's around here, there's nothing you can't find. I'll find out about this..."

Jiao Yufeng opened his mouth, and immediately came up with such a well-organized plan. Even if nothing was done at the moment, the people in the village suddenly felt relieved. The man has already organized himself and started to get busy.

And what is Jiao Yufeng doing now?In a daze!What else can I do.Because from the first time he heard this surname, Jiao Yufeng's mind flashed, and he immediately thought of Lai Da.

Lai Da is now the chief housekeeper, it should be, after all, the Lai family is Shi's right-hand man, she is in charge of the family, so she will naturally use her own people.If this is the case, it is reasonable for this person to start accumulating family fortune at this moment.But these ten acres. . .As far as Lai's family is based in Jia's family, it shouldn't be so greedy 800 years ago.So this is his housekeeper?Is the servant of Jia's servant acting as a demon?

Thinking of the Jia family, Jiao Yufeng couldn't help but think of Jiao Da, Jia Daihua, and Jia Daihua, and he couldn't help but start to calculate the current age of the Rongguo Mansion's masters.After all, it is the main thread of this world, why can't it be turned around.

Counting now, Jia Daishan is still alive, not only alive, but also only 43 years old, ten years younger than Jia Daihua, and there are still many years before he dies.This is also why after Jia Daihua is gone, Jia Daihua will take over the job of leading the soldiers in Gyeonggi.One reason is that the Jia family is the emperor's confidant, and the reason why they came here is the right age.

With such a backbone, the current Rongfu is actually very good. Although Shi Shi is only 40 years old now, she is the current wife who has opened up the big scene of the entire Rongfu in Wia. Now, so Jia She is not a little pitiful now, although his parents don't pay much attention to it, but with such a grandmother around, he has already made a good marriage, and when the other party gets married, life should be quite comfortable.Jia Zheng was still studying at home at the age of 14, and he was not hit by the imperial examination.Jia Min seems to be 5 years old?Anyway, it's still a loli.

By the way, Jia Dairu has just passed the Juren exam, his son Jia Ao is only 16, and has not yet married, and the concubine daughters of the Jia family who are missing in the books have not yet married. . .Hey, at such a critical moment, you said that if Lai Da, who has just been promoted to the position of chief steward, has a problem at this time, then the Rongguo Mansion will be in the future. . .Among other things, the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is probably time to start again.

As the saying goes, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind in this inner house, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. If the old lady regains her power, then this. . .Jiao Yufeng felt that those concubines must have benefited first, and the marriage would not be too bad.As for whether it will have an impact on the entire Red Mansion in the future, it is hard to say, because married women in this era have limited influence on their natal family.So in the end, it depends on how big the incident is, how long the old lady can live, and when Shi will regain the power of housekeeper. . .

Whoops, this is a bit far-fetched, the current question is, is it all because of everyone?If so, then Jiao Yufeng felt that he seemed to be able to take care of it, if not. . .Then this question has to be reconsidered.Master Lai?Ten acres of paddy fields?hehe.

He was obviously just a mud leg who was not even considered a small landlord. For some reason, Jiao Yufeng suddenly felt that he seemed to be able to control the situation, which felt quite good.

He feels good here, and no one else sees it, and no one cares about it.For example, Wang Dalang, at the moment, only cared about what Jiao Yufeng said, and began to assign people to find out the news. Even if there was no one in the village who could help, no one was idle.Even the women beckoned to go back to their mother's house, and the village, which had been quiet for a long time, was in a panic.This positive one made Jiao Shibo a little dumbfounded, and always felt that this scene was a bit mysterious.People in this era are so enthusiastic?So helpful?

"Father, dad, don't be in a daze, look... they are... isn't it a matter of the village next door, they are so active? Didn't even cook? They went out now?"

"They are afraid. If they don't block it this time, they will be the next one to be unlucky. Then they will cut their own flesh. Can you not be active?"

"What? Our village? This is all low-grade slope land. The best one is the one behind our house. It is still guarded by grandpa. Some people will be jealous? How is it possible? Why is it not graded? As for being so hungry."

"I don't know, but for the people in the village, no matter how bad these lands are, they are still treasures. They are just in case. Besides, ordinary people can't fight even a servant, so why not be afraid."

"Father, who did you think of?"

"What do you say?"

"Ha ha."

The father and son looked at each other and smiled. If there is anything they don't understand, they all thought of going to one place.
