Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 1631

The five people carefully moved on the tree and kept throwing the green dates down. Zhou Liru and Zhou Ligu Bai Shuping picked up two dustpans. Daji and two guards waiting on the side also bent down to help pick them up. Soon there was no room in the dustpan.

It happened that a servant came and called them, "young masters and ladies, we're going back to lunch."

Man Bao came down from the tree with a disappointed face, then sat down on the grass and put on his shoes, "only picked dates. Let's have a look at the pears after dinner."

Bai Shan replied, "OK."

Several people took the red dates back to Zhuangzi, soaked some of them in well water, washed them and put them in the basket. They planned to eat lunch as fruit after dinner.

It's just a pity that the few people who planned to go out after lunch didn't make the trip. They were sleepy because they were full. After all, the horse was still tired after running for a long time. They got up early this morning.

Seeing them yawning and looking outside, Mrs. Liu said, "now the sun is strong. Go take a nap first and wait until you wake up."

Several people thought that the days were still long, which was a good idea, so they yawned and went to bed.

But when he woke up, old Zhou tou didn't allow them to play again. He said, "I've already inquired about it. Zhitian is not far from here. The carriage will arrive in about three quarters of an hour, so let's go and have a look."

Man Bao also read the pears in the orchard and said, "Dad, it's not urgent. We still have four days of vacation."

"Why not hurry," said old Zhou head, who was getting angry. "Don't you see that someone in Chuang Tzu is already planting winter wheat?"

"The capital is too north. Yongzhou is more north than the capital. You can only plant one season of wheat. If you can't make the wheat green before the snow, you have to wait another year to plant wheat. Thank you."

Man Bao said, "you can grow beans."

"It's even worse to plant beans in such a good land," said old Zhou. "Hurry up. Don't be lazy. How can you be lazy than your father."

Zhou Dalang said with a smile, "Dad, she's not lazy. She wants to play."

Xiao Qian said to man Bao, "you said you would go to Yongzhou to see the lanterns. If you don't go today, how can you go to see the lanterns tomorrow?"

Man Bao immediately said to her father, "Dad, let's go now. It's only three quarters of an hour. Soon, we may ride faster. We'll arrive in two quarters of an hour."

Bai Shan also pulled out their horses cleverly, asked Lao Zhou for directions, and then got on his horse and ran away.

Old Zhou's head opened his mouth and turned to ask Zhou Dalang, "no one gave them directions. What did they run for? What if they ran the wrong way?"

Qian had cleaned up and said, "there are people on the road. They know the place name and will stop people to ask. With a mouth under their nose, are you afraid they can't find the way?"

Lao Zhou thought so.

Mrs. Liu asked the villa head to go with them. He knew the way and was familiar with the neighborhood.

From the capital to Yongzhou, there are only a few low mountains along the way. Many lands have been opened out and become large farms.

Chuang tou sat on the shaft and chatted with Lao Zhou tou and said, "nearby, the villagers' fields are only a few, but more are professional fields and great men's fields. Therefore, the people in the villages in this area are basically tenant farmers. There are only a few mu of land at home, and the rest are rented and planted by others, or there is no one mu of land. They all depend on renting."

Old Zhou tou asked, "how many years have Dajin been, and they have lost all the land?"

Zhuang tou smiled bitterly, looked at Lao Zhou tou's hand, looked at the back of the car, and then lowered his voice and said, "I think you are a farmer like me. I don't hide it from you. They lost all their land. Of course, some of them lost all their land, but most of them were bought back by the imperial court."

"I don't know why, the imperial court has recruited so many officials. There is not enough land every year. What should we do if there is not enough land?"

Old Zhou tou: "what should I do?"

"That can only be taken from us ordinary people. The Yamen directly took a little money and requisitioned the mature land we cultivated as a job land and distributed some raw land again. But you see, there are so many plants and trees that it may not be able to open two acres a year. Only beans can be planted first. People are starving. Who will open that land? It's better to be a tenant farmer. "

Old leader Zhou was stunned, so how did their family man Bao's job field come from?

Chuang tou didn't know the identity of old Zhou tou, so he smiled and asked, "where did the master go? Did the owner buy the land there?"

Old Zhou looked back, shook his head and said, "no, my daughter divided the job field."

"Your daughter?" Zhuang tou didn't understand, "is your daughter the empress in the palace? No, I haven't seen a village head in charge of Zhitian near here. I haven't heard of Niang and Zhitian. "

Old Zhou tou was so proud that he stood up and said, "it's not a lady. It's an official. My daughter is a doctor. She's a scholar. Five grades. She became two officials, so she divided a thousand mu of job field. We're going to see that job field this time."

Chuang tou opened his mouth in surprise and closed it after half a ring. "This is the official master. Alas, you have enjoyed the blessing of your daughter."

Old Zhou smiled and narrowed his eyes. Finally, he found someone to talk to. He nodded with Chuang tou and said, "isn't it? Among my sons, no one can match my little girl. She was filial when she was young. When she was a child, she drank egg water and wanted to leave it to me secretly."

Chuang tou recalled Zhou man carefully. After half a ring, he said, "I'm so young. I'm going to be an official now? No, I remember the old lady said, "that's our future young grandmother."

"Yes, our two families are engaged. It is my little girl who is engaged to your young master. They are working in the palace together now. My daughter is an official. Your young master is also powerful and is studying with the prince." Old Zhou tou had another point to show off, lowered his voice and said, "you know the prince, that's the future emperor."

His son-in-law is now studying with the future emperor. To round it out, his son-in-law and the emperor are classmates. When you think about old Zhou tou, you feel out of breath.

Chuang tou also felt a little out of breath.

In the capital, no, it's the Chuang Tzu of Yongzhou. Mrs. Liu bought it to settle down and provide some fresh fruits and vegetables for the family in the capital. Therefore, there is no special person to choose and manage.

In order to integrate into the capital and Yongzhou with less trouble, Chuang tou and tenants were selected from the local area. However, she also sent her servants to work in Chuang Tzu. In a word, those were her confidants.

Because it's not a prostitution, but an employment relationship. The villa head and tenants don't know much about the boss. The young master of the boss is even studying with the prince

Chuang tou was in a trance for a long time before he realized that his boss was so powerful? He never knew.
