Straight man of steel

Chapter 62

"Is this the germination you told me about?"

Standing in front of the farmland, Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded, the beet leaves were as big as Zhang Yuan's palm.

"Uh, it's sprouted. I thought I'd tell you about all the sprouts. The remaining 42 places have not been moved. Ah Huang asked the aunt next door. The aunt said that the sprouts could not be sprouted, so I thought about what to do. Let me tell you."

Zhang Yuan didn't believe Xiong Da's words anymore. Generally speaking, a person with a simple and honest appearance may have a little devil in his body.

Ignoring Xiong Da, Zhang Yuan went down to the field and pulled out a beet. Seeing that the rhizome was two or three inches in diameter, he took it to the side of the bucket and cleaned it, then bit into it.

The sugar is full of water, this stem can be directly used to boil sugar, but Zhang Yuan can't do that, he still doesn't know if this beet can bloom, bear fruit and grow seeds.

Fortunately, I don't like eating sweet things very much, except of course fruits like watermelon.

"Since you guys don't want to go back, Xiong Da Ahuang, then watch here. When the beets bloom and bear fruit, come back and find me."

Hearing that Zhang Yuan promised to stay in Sunjiacun, Xiong Dana was overjoyed, but Ah Huang's reaction was much calmer. He was supposed to stay here to take care of him.

As for whether the ten of them can support themselves, Zhang Yuan is not worried at all.

The gold added up by the ten of them is enough for them to stay here for two or three years, and Zhang Yuan doesn't have to bear it, so it's quite a deal when you think about it.

Before leaving, Zhang Yuan gave Ah Huang a tael of gold and asked him to use it to sell the grain that should be paid to the government.

You can't do tax evasion, because you don't know when someone with a heart will see it and keep it as a handle.

In July of the year when Zhang Yuan moved to Chengdu, Yao Qiuhou Liu She, the father of Xiang Jing, the son of the Hou Mansion whom Zhang Yuan had met, was dismissed by Liu Qi from his post as prime minister because of the solar eclipse. In August of the same year Jianling Hou Weiwan was promoted to prime minister.

When winter came this year, Tiao Hou Zhou Yafu bought armor and shields for his son in a department specializing in the manufacture of utensils for the royal family. He originally planned to use them as funeral objects, but his servants reported that Zhou Yafu attempted rebellion.

As a result, court lieutenant Zhou Yafu was humiliated and went on a hunger strike for five days and died of vomiting blood.

Liu Qi was clearing the last obstacle for his crown prince Liu Che, and he also had the talent to choose to assist Liu Che.

This year is estimated to be the year with the biggest changes after Liu Che was promoted to the crown prince, but he is also lucky. Although the emperor Liu Qi is not a good father, he is a good emperor. For this reason, Liu Che's career as a crown prince is extremely stable. get through.

After waiting for more than half a year, Zhang Yuan did not wait for the beets in the field to bloom and bear fruit, but he still held his temper and did not dig out the beet roots. Without the oppression of the Zhuo family, Zhang Yuan did not need these things to get what he wanted. resources needed.

In addition to spending one hundred gold pancakes when buying the house, which is 160 taels of gold, in the next nine months, the total expenses of more than 20 people in the Zhang family were only five gold pancakes, which also included From the very beginning, Zhang Yuan promised to give Lao Zhao Xiongda and the others a monthly payment of one tael of silver.

If things go on like this, they won't be able to spend the money until they die. Of course, it depends on whether Lao Zhao and the others put more pressure on Zhang Yuan.

But now it seems that the pressure will definitely increase. Ah Hong's stomach has been bulging for three months, and it is estimated that in two or three months, a new member will have to be added to the Zhang family.

After Zhuo Wenjun lived in Zhang's house for a month, Zhuo Wangsun suddenly called her back. Zhang Yuan kept his mouth shut this time and didn't ask what the reason was. Zhuo Wenjun almost said a word before leaving, A Yuan As long as you let me stay, I won't go.

But in the end, he probably felt that even if he said it, Zhang Yuan would only say a word to leave, so he held back and didn't open his mouth.

If you don’t have to worry about food, drink, clothing, shelter, and transportation, you should always lie in bed in winter, and then cover with several layers of cashmere quilts.

Zhang Yuan didn't like to have a stove in the house, for fear that he would be taken away by carbon dioxide poisoning when he fell asleep at night. Facts have proved that no one in Zhang's mansion was poisoned by carbon dioxide this winter.

Everyone said behind their backs that their son belonged to the type who wanted to save face and suffer. Only Xiaoqing would argue with them from time to time, saying that Zhang Yuan was really not afraid of the cold.

She also told about the fact that she took off her clothes to warm Zhang Yuan's bed before, but after she told it, her status in Zhang's mansion was even higher.

Although the bed warming girl is not the mistress, she is also the closest person to the young master.

Several maidservants compared themselves with Xiaoqing, and felt that they might be more suitable for the position of bed warming girl.

Especially Xiaoya, who has been delivering food to Zhang Yuan, every time she enters Zhang Yuan's room, she always lifts up her skirt on purpose, squatting down at every turn to show Zhang Yuan's full breasts.

On this day, when that Xiaoya barely showed her butt, Zhang Yuan yelled outside.

"Old Zhao."

Zhang Yuan's voice was super loud, Xiaoya thought that Zhang Yuan was about to get angry, so she ran out quickly.

Zhang Yuan has never called Lao Zhao when eating, because Zhang Yuan has a rule to eat well when eating.

Hearing the yelling, Lao Zhao ran towards Zhang Yuan's bedroom without thinking about eating.

"Sir, did you call me?"

Zhang Yuan's face was very ugly.

"You are the housekeeper of the Zhang residence, right?"

Old Zhao nodded very cautiously.

"Yes."

"Can you take care of those women in the family?"

"They molested you again, son?

The villain will teach them a lesson later. "

Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that Lao Zhao was even more hateful than those women.

"Go and call all the rammed goods in Sunjia Village back to the mansion except Ah Huang. You must suppress the arrogance of those women."

Originally, Lao Zhao didn't look embarrassed, even if Zhang Yuan asked him to take care of the maids in the mansion, he didn't feel any embarrassment, but when Zhang Yuan asked him to recall Xiong Da and the others, he suddenly became bitter.

"Is there something you are hiding from me?"

Zhang Yuan hasn't been to Sunjia Village for a long time, and Ah Huang will come back once a month to report to Zhang Yuan about the situation of the beets, and the others are as if they have evaporated from the world.

"Patriarch, it's okay to call them back, but they may bring some people back."

Zhang Yuan was shocked when he heard Lao Zhao's words.

"You mean they all found wives?"

Old Zhao said with extreme embarrassment.

"The last time Ah Huang came back, the villain listened to what he said."

It seems that the only men left in this mansion are myself and Chef Wang who are single. I am still young and I don’t want to find a wife so early. Is there something wrong with Chef Wang?

Otherwise, the No. 20 maid in the mansion, he didn't even make a movement.

"It doesn't matter how many people they bring, let them all come back."

It's almost the first lunar month, and although there is no custom of celebrating the new year, Zhang Yuan still wants to bring the whole family together to have a lively time.

"The villain will go to Sun's Village in person."
