The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

The river is a little small?

Zhao Liushi looked at the river in front of him in puzzlement. How small is this river? It is no problem to row three boats side by side!

Mrs. Zhao and Liu were wondering when all Jiang Zhen's subordinates from Hexi Village came over, even his subordinates who lived in Qiaotou Village and the county seat also came.

After these dozens of people went out with Jiang Zhen, their temperaments all changed. Because they had been eating well, they all became very strong. Standing together at the moment gave people a great pressure, let alone After they saw Jiang Zhen, they opened their mouths and shouted in unison: "Hello, boss!"

That voice was so loud that Zhao Liu's heart trembled.

"Yeah." Jiang Zhen nodded towards them, and then pointed to the river: "You guys go first."

"Yes, boss!" Everyone responded in unison, and then He Chunsheng said again: "Run—go!"

After He Chunsheng finished speaking, these people ran towards the distance in unison.

Zhao Liushi was a little overwhelmed by this scene, but soon, she became even more proud - these are Jiang Zhen's subordinates!

But... what are they doing by the river?

"Mother, do you want to go over there with me?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"I'm washing rice..." Zhao Liushi said.

"Auntie, can you help my mother put the rice back?" Jiang Zhen took a bamboo sieve made of bamboo from Zhao Liushi and gave it to a middle-aged woman who was also washing rice next to her.

These days, after people hustle the rice, many husks often fall into the rice, so it must be washed and soaked in water to let the husks in the rice float away.

"Oh..." The woman responded, and subconsciously took the bamboo sieve in Jiang Zhen's hand.

"Thank you." Jiang Zhen said.

In this rural area, very few people would thank people solemnly, especially Jiang Zhen's reputation now... This woman was holding the bamboo sieve, and was slightly stunned for a while. The humane said: "Did you hear that? Jiang Zhen thanked me!"

"Understood." The humanity beside her said, Jiang Zhen's behavior just now was not vicious at all, but it made people feel that he could be trusted.

Originally, when they heard Zhao Liushi say how much Jiang Zhen loved Zhao Jinge and how kind they were to them, they always thought she was bragging, but seeing Jiang Zhen's mouth and mother just now, and still smiling... Maybe Zhao Liushi wasn't lying.

"They all went to the river, what do you say is there?"

"Let's go see too."

"Okay, let's all go and have a look."

……

The big guys discussed it and made a decision, but they all had things to go home and put away, especially the woman who picked up Zhao Liu's bamboo sieve, and even had to go to the two houses to put things away: "Wait a minute!" me!"

"It's such a short distance, what's the wait! Why don't you go slowly?" Someone said, and then went home.

The days are short in winter. Although the sky is not very bright now, most people in Hexi Village are already awake. When the men who are waiting for breakfast at home see their mother-in-law rushing back from the outside, they have to ask: "Why are you running?" So fast?"

"I'm going to watch the excitement."

"What's the fun?"

"Jiang Zhen brought a large group of people to Mr. Zhao's house!"

Did Jiang Zhen take someone to Zhao Dahu's house?what happened?

There are so few interesting things in this countryside that no matter what happens to someone's family, everyone has to rush over to watch the fun. Now that Jiang Zhen has brought a group of people to Zhao Dahu's house, everyone is going to watch the fun .

The village chief Jiang Ping also hurried over.

His son ran to Zhao's house early in the morning, and now he heard that he followed a group of people to Zhao Dahu's house, and he didn't know what he was doing...he just had to watch it.

Zhao Dahu's family has also woken up at this time.

They lived a little far from the villagers. When they first saw a group of people running over from a distance, they were frightened. They were afraid that someone would come and rob their house. After they found out that the group of people were Jiang Zhen's subordinates. , and even more scared.

They didn't treat Brother Zhao Jing very well in the past. This Jiang Zhen, could it be that he came to trouble them?

They were worried when they saw the group of people running neatly across the road next to his house, and then ran towards the canal.

Zhao Dahu breathed a sigh of relief, and then became curious - what are these people going to the canal for?He... go and have a look?

Zhao Dahu's family tidied up and went out to watch the excitement.

At this time, beside the canal, a big boat stopped looking for a place, and some people ran to the shore, and then tied the big boat to some trees on the shore with ropes.

The load-carrying capacity of a boat is much better than that of a carriage. After all, it depends on buoyancy. As long as the boat is bigger, it can hold a lot of things, and such a big boat can hold more things... To fix it, I had to take out some more rope to hold it firmly.

When the tying was over, they found some boards and spread them between the boat and the bank.

After finishing all this, those busy people looked at Wang Haisheng: "Brother Wang, is this here? When is the boss coming?"

"Soon." Wang Haisheng said.Seeing the people on the boat respecting me and calling me Brother Wang, I was very excited.

He used to be just a fisherman, but he didn't expect to have such a day...

As soon as Wang Haisheng finished speaking, He Chunsheng came with someone, and after a while, Jiang Zhen also came.

After Jiang Zhen called Zhao Liushi, he walked towards the canal. On the way, they met Zhao Jinge and Zhao Fugui.

Brother Zhao Jin was striding forward, while Zhao Fugui, who had always been taciturn, looked at him dissatisfied, and muttered: "Brother Jin, be careful, be careful..." How could anyone walk so stridingly while pregnant? ?His son doesn't look like a twin, isn't he afraid that Jiang Zhen will dislike him?

"Father, what are you paying attention to?"

"What else can you pay attention to? Of course I want you to walk slowly!" Zhao Liushi said immediately, and Jiang Zhen also looked over with a smile.

Zhao Jinge slowed down immediately when he saw Jiang Zhen.

The family didn't walk fast, so that after a while, the villagers caught up, and by this time, they had already reached the canal.

Jiang Zhen used to go out with Brother Zhao Jing by this canal. Looking at this side, his eyes showed nostalgia. He just felt that everything here is very kind, especially the big clump of bamboos that are somewhat withered and yellow because of the cold weather. It's even more adorable.

In the past, it was here that he held Brother Zhao Jin's hand and kissed Brother Zhao Jin.

Jiang Zhen was thinking about the past, but Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui's eyes were attracted by the big boat by the river.

There are a lot of boats coming and going on this side of the canal. Whether it is the Zhao Liu family or Zhao Fugui, they have all seen big boats. Zhao Fugui used to help people fight goods on the pier before, and even got on such a big boat, but this... …

He Chunsheng and the others all ran to the boat, this boat, this boat...

"Why is there a big boat here?"

"The people under Jiang Zhen's hand have gone on board."

"Did you see Jiang Ming? He moved things down from the boat!"

……

The people in Hexi Village didn't dare to approach, and they stopped far away on the soil slope by the river which was much higher than the river bank, talking a lot. After discussing for a while, everyone looked at the village chief Jiang Ping.

The village chief always knew a lot of things, and Jiang Ming even ran to the boat. At this time, if he had any doubts, he didn't ask Jiang Ping. Should he ask that vicious Jiang Zhen? !

Jiang Ping: "..." He really doesn't know where this boat came from!

His brat said he had something on the boat and didn't bring it back... Could it be this boat?This boat belongs to the Zheng family?

Jiang Ping thought for a while, and felt that this should be the case, and said, "Isn't Jiang Zhen doing something for the Zheng family? This boat should belong to the Zheng family."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Zhen walking towards the boat. The people on the boat all nodded and bowed to Jiang Zhen: "Boss!"

Wait, this boat...isn't Jiang Zhen's?

"This boat...isn't Jiang Zhen's?" Jiang Ping, who was far away, was so skeptical, and Zhao Liushi couldn't help but doubt it too.

Before, Jiang Zhen had said that his ship was coming.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How much money does such a big ship cost!" Zhao Fugui cast a glance at his mother-in-law and reprimanded her.Many rich people in this county do not have such a big boat!

"That's right..." Zhao Liushi also felt that this boat should not belong to Jiang Zhen.

"Father, mother, this belongs to Jiang Zhen." Zhao Jinge said awkwardly, only then did he realize that he forgot to tell his parents about it.

Zhao Liushi trembled, a little unsteady, and Zhao Fugui's expression froze: "Brother Jin, what are you talking about?"

"That boat belongs to Jiang Zhen." Zhao Jinge said.

Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi were stunned for a long time before looking at Brother Zhao Jing together.

Zhao Fugui: "Where did it come from?"

Zhao Liushi: "How can Jiang Zhen even afford such a big boat? Brother Jin, you have to watch carefully, don't let him be seduced by those little goblins!"

"Mother, Jiang Zhen won't do it." Zhao Jinge answered Zhao Liushi's words, but he didn't know how to answer Zhao Fugui... You can't say that Jiang Zhen snatched the boat, right?

Fortunately, Zhao Fugui was stunned and did not continue to ask.

Jiang Zhen had already boarded the boat. He directed the people and began to move things down from the boat.

The one who moved down first was the big guy who bought things in the capital and was going to take them home. Jiang Zhen also allowed his subordinates to move things home first—anyway, there are many sailors on this ship, and he does not need to help him move things. people.

Jiang Zhen's men cheered and picked up their things one after another.

He Chunsheng bought a lot of brightly colored fabrics, took them and found his younger brother He Qiusheng: "Qiusheng, these are all for you, you use them to make clothes."

"Brother!" He Qiusheng's eyes lit up immediately.

"Father, I bought you a chamber pot! Didn't you say that the mouth of your chamber pot broke and you would accidentally scratch it... Oops!" Jiang Ming was beaten on the head by his father before he could finish his sentence.

This brat really dares to say anything!

Jiang Ping looked at the people around him in embarrassment, and sure enough, he saw that the people in the village were all looking at him in surprise, and their eyes were still on a certain part of him.

Jiang Ping: "..." He gave birth to a debt collector!

"Cough cough," Jiang Ping coughed twice, and pointed to the big and small bags around Jiang Ming: "You bought these?"

"Yes, dad." Jiang Ming said, "I bought things for everyone in the family."

"Then that boat..." Jiang Ping asked again.

"That boat, that's the boss's boat." Jiang Ming said.

"Jiang Zhen's boat? Where did Jiang Zhen get such a big boat?" Jiang Ping was shocked, and everyone in Hexi Village was also shocked.

Where did Jiang Zhen get such a big boat!Didn't he make money?

"Isn't it just a ship? Dad, why are you so surprised?" Jiang Ming said, as if the ship was nothing special.

"Is this an ordinary boat!" Jiang Ping was angry.

"This is a very ordinary ship. The boss has five ships that are about the same size, and there are a few smaller ones." Jiang Ming said.

Jiang Ping: "..."

People from Hexi Village: "..."

How did Jiang Zhen get so many boats?He went to rob? !

Zhao Dahu's family was in the crowd, so they naturally listened to the conversation between Jiang Ping and his son, and then...

They were the richest in the village before, but I'm afraid they won't be in the future.

There is also the title "Dahu Zhao"... Everyone will call Zhao Fugui like this in the future, right?

Suddenly a little depressed!

The people in Hexi Village, except Jiang Tuhu's family, basically went to the river.

As for why Jiang Tuhu's family didn't go... It's too late for them to hide from Jiang Zhen, so how could they join in?

Because everyone in Hexi Village had run away, the whole village seemed empty. At this moment, Zhu Shufen came back with her parents and relatives.

She didn't say hello to the Jiang family yesterday, she packed up her things, and then went back to her natal family, hoping to find her way out and force the Jiang family to split up. Today, they came here early in the morning.

Fearing that people in Hexi Village would not agree to the separation, the Zhu family called many people today, and Zhu Shufen's father, Zhu Xiucai, also came in person.

They rushed to Hexi Village angrily, and suddenly discovered...how is this Hexi Village so quiet, there is no one there?

"Where are the people in this village?" Zhu Xiucai looked left and right, puzzled.

"I don't know either." Zhu Shufen was also full of doubts. At this time, shouldn't there be smoke in the village, and everyone is making breakfast?Why is there no one here?

"Shouldn't you run away? Uncle, let's go to Jiang's house!" Someone said.

A group of people ran towards Jiang's house quickly, and then blocked all Jiang's family members in the house.

The Jiang family was blocked by Jiang Zhen yesterday, and today they were blocked by the Zhu family.Jiang Chengxiang took the initiative to move the chair that Jiang Zhen sat on yesterday to his father-in-law.

One-sided negotiations began.

No one in Hexi Village knew anything about Jiang's family.

They are still in shock.

However, at least they can talk now...

"This Jiang Zhen is really capable!"

"Yeah, it's only been a few months since I went out, and I got back such a big boat, and there are more than one."

"He's definitely a blessing."

"It's true that Mrs. Jiang has been treating him badly. If the Jiang family had treated him better, they would have developed a long time ago."

……

The second uncle of the Jiang family also came, and when he heard these words, he was very angry, blowing his beard and staring, and felt that Jiang Zhen was not up to date.

You said that you are so capable, why do you want to marry into someone else's house?Wouldn't it be nice to have your own home?

You can also marry a wife with three wives and four concubines, and spread the branches and leaves for the Jiang family...

The second uncle of the Jiang family thought so, and wanted to talk to Jiang Zhen again, but his son held him back quickly.

Jiang Zhen is so powerful now, it would be too stupid to offend him again!

At this time, Zhao Fugui had already boarded the boat to help Jiang Zhen move things.

In fact, Jiang Zhen has no shortage of people who move things, but Zhao Fugui was happy and insisted on moving, so Jiang Zhen let him go, but he was not satisfied with asking him to move the things he brought back for him and Zhao Liushi. move.

Then Zhao Fugui only moved a little each time, moving back and forth again and again.

"Mother, let daddy come back." Brother Zhao Jin felt a little distressed when he saw his daddy running back and forth. He asked the sailors on the boat to help with just a few things, and he moved them all in one trip.

"Your father is showing off, don't worry about him." Zhao Liushi said to her son, in fact, she also wanted to move things over and over again!But the plank was too narrow, and she didn't dare to walk on it.

Zhao Liushi turned his gaze to those people in the village not far away.

A few people who often talked to Zhao Liushi and had a good relationship with her, caught her eye, immediately came over, and praised as soon as they came: "I said that Brother Jin has been blessed since he was a child! He will definitely marry well! "

"Zhao Liushi, you are waiting for a good time!"

"You have the best life in our village."

……

Zhao Liushi didn't need to show off, she was praised and was very happy.

At this moment, these people started talking again: "Why does Jiang Zhen suddenly have such a boat?"

Zhao Liushi froze when asked, she didn't know!

Zhao Liushi immediately looked at Zhao Jinge.

Zhao Jinge coughed twice: "Jiang Zhen...he's very powerful...um..."

He wanted to show off like his mother, but he didn't know what to say. Hey, if he said Jiang Zhen too well, would someone come to snatch him?

"This kid is clumsy!" said Zhao Liushi. She didn't know where Jiang Zhen's boat came from, but this didn't affect her praise: "Jiang Zhen has always been capable, and a few boats count. What?"

"The master of the Zheng family appreciates him!"

"But he's not all right. No, he's too clingy. He has to take Jin Ge'er with him when he goes out to do business, and Jin Ge'er is pregnant with a child, and he has to run outside."

"Of course, he has such a big boat, so he can't tire Brother Jin."

"It's this young couple's, so sticky... Hey, Brother Jin will have to hold her twice in three years, and I don't know if I can bring her here..."

Zhao Jinge suddenly admired his mother a little bit. His mother said so, letting people know that Jiang Zhen likes him very much, so others will definitely not be too tempted to rob Jiang Zhen from him!

that's nice!

"Madam, old lady." At this time, the cook Mrs. Li came with Ruo'er. Their accents were a bit different from He Xicun's, but because they had learned all the way from Brother Zhao Jing, this name was not too bad. Let Zhao Liushi not understand.

"This is..." Zhao Liushi didn't know these two people, and...this was the first time someone called her old lady...

It's really weird, no one called Zhao Dahu's mother that.

"Jiang Zhen asked them to take care of me." Zhao Jinge said.

"Hey, look, this Jiang Zhen is too good at spending money. My brother Jin is so strong, why do I need someone to take care of him?" Zhao Liu said immediately: "But I don't have to worry about how to take care of the child. Someone help!"

Everyone in Hexi Village who couldn't get in the conversation: "..."

Suddenly I want to hit Zhao Liu Shi...

Brother Zhao Jin smiled reservedly, he suddenly understood why his mother likes to brag to others like this...

Zhao Fugui ran back and forth a dozen times before he finished moving the things, and then Jiang Zhen found someone to help deliver the things to Zhao's house.

This man took a load and picked up all the things that Zhao Fugui had moved for so long, leaving only a few small burdens for Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui to carry.

In fact, Ruo'er originally wanted to carry this burden, but Zhao Liushi wanted to take it.

"Such a good material is actually used to make furoshiki." Zhao Liushi stroked the burden in his hand with a somewhat tangled expression.

Because Jiang Zhen came over, the people around dispersed at this moment. Seeing this, Zhao Liushi pulled Zhao Jinge and whispered: "Don't listen to what Mother said just now."

"What?" Brother Zhao Jin didn't understand.

"It means that you are too sticky to go out with Jiang Zhen... Mother thinks about it, it is better for you to follow in the future, so that Jiang Zhen will not be seduced by someone!" When the Zhao family was not defeated, even the honest Zhao Fugui They were all targeted by a widow who wanted to get money from Zhao Fugui and let Zhao Fugui help him with the work. Now that Jiang Zhen is so rich...

She felt that it would be better for her son to follow Jiang Zhen all the time, so that even if there were little goblins who wanted to cling to him, her son would be able to beat them away!

Brother Zhao Jin nodded solemnly, and he also felt that as long as he could follow, he must follow.

Jiang Zhen walked in the front, and when he returned to the village with the people of Hexi Village, everyone was a little dizzy, so that no one noticed the movement of Jiang's house at all.

In particular, after Jiang Zhen put down his things, he went to the river again.

Everyone cheered and followed.

Jiang Zhen calculated for himself before, and he calculated that his total net worth was more than 20 taels, and this included all real estate such as his boat.

Really want to talk about cash... After he bought a lot of goods in the capital, the cash is only 2 taels.

And the 2 taels of cash is what he intends to hide at home for himself.

2 taels of silver is two thousand catties, which is one ton in modern times. When calculated in taels, it looks like a lot, but it is actually not much. After all, one cubic meter of water has one ton, and silver is heavier than water. .

The 1 taels of silver were put into the box, and only four boxes were filled. This is because the shape of the silver is not regular.

These boxes were locked on the boat by Jiang Zhen before, and now Jiang Zhen personally brought them back to Zhao's house. After doing all this, he arranged some of his men to serve as guards for him.

At the same time, there is one thing that is imminent.

That is building a house.

Jiang Zhen was not in a hurry to build a house before, mainly because he had no money, but now that he has money, in this case, he must build a house well.

Even, he didn't want to just build a house.

Jiang Zhen remembered that Li Mingzhe, who was in the silk business in Lijia Village, not only built his house by the river, but also built a small pier so that people from all over the world would come to sell silk cocoons by boat, and his heart moved.

Should he also get a piece of land, then build a pier, and then build a house?

Speaking of it, although there are various flaws in this ancient times, there are some places that Jiang Zhen likes very much. For example, if you buy a piece of land these days, you can toss and fiddle with it at will, unlike modern times. planning to come.

It is even more troublesome for private individuals to build a pier, and it may even be impossible to approve it at all.

If he can build a big wharf in Hexi Village, and then build a house next to it...

Jiang Zhen took out a piece of paper, drew the terrain of Hexi Village, and then began to choose a place.

At this time, Zhao Fugui and his wife opened the boxes that Jiang Zhen had brought back.

As soon as they opened the box, they were shocked. There was so much silver in the box!

Zhao Liushi clutched her chest, feeling almost out of breath.

"Mother, you can't talk about this." Zhao Fugui swallowed, and said, "I'm going to kill a chicken."

"Don't just kill the chicken, kill a duck too... Jiang Zhen likes to eat braised duck meat very much." Zhao Liushi said.

So much money... The chickens and ducks they raise can indeed be eaten by themselves...

Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui went to cook, but when Zhao Jinge saw this, he came to Jiang Zhen's side.

He has gained some knowledge now, and when he saw Jiang Zhen's paintings, he could tell the name at a glance: "What you painted is Hexi Village?"

"Yeah." Jiang Zhen said to Zhao Jinge, and then pointed to the blueprint to show Zhao Jinge: "Say, how about we build a house here?"

"Okay!" Brother Zhao Jin immediately said, he was worried that the house was too small to accommodate people!

After all... He might hug two in three years, right?Maybe after five years, there will be three children!

Jiang Zhen didn't know Zhao Jinge's thoughts at all, and was thinking about how to build the house at the moment: "Although the house with mud walls saves trouble, it still has many defects and is still damp. If I want to change it, I will build a brick house. The layout of the house can no longer be like it is now, each house must be carefully planned, I will design a house type first...it is best to build a building..."

"Building?" Zhao Jinge looked at Jiang Zhen in surprise.

"Yes, building a building. Even if the floor can be paved with bricks and tiles, the ground floor will be too damp. It's better to build a building to live upstairs," Jiang Zhen said, "Say, should I build a brick kiln to burn bricks first? "

Jiang Zhen doesn't know how glass is fired, but he roughly knows how bricks are fired. After all, firing bricks is too simple... Isn't it just to make some molds out of clay?

Moreover, there were brick kilns in ancient times, and if he went to dig out some master craftsmen who could burn bricks, wouldn't everything be solved?

Jiang Zhen quickly made a decision, and of course Zhao Jinge immediately agreed to his decision without even thinking about it.

They will go to buy land tomorrow.

When Jiang Zhen was planning to buy land, the Jiang family was taken by the Zhu family to sell the land in the county town, and then went to pay off the debts, and the family was divided by the way.

The Jiang family still had [-] mu of paddy fields, plus [-] mu of mulberry land and [-] mu of dry land. This time, in order to pay off their debts, they sold [-] mu of paddy fields, plus [-] mu of dry land and [-] mu of mulberry land.

With Zhu Xiucai coming forward, Jiang Chengcai owed all the debts this time. When the family was separated, Jiang Chengxiang naturally received more things, including five acres of paddy fields, five acres of mulberry fields, and five acres of dry land.

However, even so, what Jiang Chengxiang received was much, much less than what he had expected.

With such a small amount of land now, working in the field for a year, it is estimated that I can only get enough food and clothing, and it is difficult to have surplus.

It was even worse for Jiang Chengcai. He was only allocated three acres of paddy fields, three acres of dry land and three acres of mulberry fields.

Moreover, he had agreed with Jiang Chengxiang that Mrs. Jiang would follow him, butcher Jiang would follow Jiang Chengxiang. In other words, there were three adults in his family... Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang could raise silkworms to subsidize her family.

Actually speaking, the Jiang family brothers now have quite a lot of land, and there are many poorer people in Hexi Village, but it is difficult for them to accept extravagance and frugality.

And... the allocated land can only be harvested if there are people to breed it!

But they don't know how to farm.

The Jiang family didn't like each other, and went back to Hexi Village dejectedly, only to find out... Jiang Zhen came back after earning a lot of money? !
