pastoral life

I spent so much money back then, it was worth the money. The more I look at this jewel of a three-way house, the more I like it. Although all the expensive furniture had to be taken away by the previous owner, the tables, stools and wooden frames are ornaments. There is nothing missing, although it is not a good wood, but the workmanship is very delicate, so there is no need to spend a lot of money to buy wood to make furniture, but only the mattresses and mosquito nets have to be replaced. ,

"Choose one by yourself, if you don't like living in it in the future, don't make trouble."

After looking around with a few little ones, Mingzhu asked them to pick it out by themselves. The two little girls couldn't leave each other and still chose one room, but Wang Dahe and Wang Xiaohu were in a hurry to separate. Xiaohu doesn't sleep well, old man, Dahe has survived after sleeping with him for so many years, that brat felt his self-esteem was thwarted when he saw his second brother dislike him so much, and immediately pretended to dislike him He snatched a room with a look of air.The main house was naturally reserved for Mingzhu and Wang Mingchuan, and they also cleaned out another room to enshrine their parents in the future.

"For such a big house, we have to ask someone to take care of it, not to mention the cleaning boy."

The Wang family didn't often live in the city, and this house had to be guarded by someone, otherwise they wouldn't know when someone would remove the gate.When the two of them got together, they were thinking about finding someone to buy some servants. At first, Mingzhu thought about spending money to hire helpers, but she still had some resistance to the human trade, but then she thought about staying here for a long time in winter, those things were irrelevant. People with clean hands and feet can be met wherever they come and go. If they really want to think about it, their family is not that capable of dealing with it. Thinking about it like this, they don't care about the idea and principle, so they still hold the contract It fits best in hand.

Mingzhu didn't dare to be careless about buying people. After all, these people will get along with them day and night. After much deliberation, she decided to ask Shopkeeper Zhu for help. People like them always know these ways better than common people. Some, so Mingzhu asked Wang Mingchuan to go to Tangpinzhai to find someone to help him. After hearing this, shopkeeper Zhu naturally agreed, and asked Da Shunzi to lead Wang Mingchuan to pick someone out on the spot.

"This is……"

When Wang Mingchuan led the people in, Mingzhu was a little dazed.

"Brother Shunzi led me over there to pick them out. I thought it would be more suitable for a family to come here. I happened to meet them. What do you think?"

There is a family of three standing behind Wang Mingchuan. The mother and daughter are honest people with quick hands and feet. The husband is not very old, and he is strong and burly. Standing like an iron tower over there makes Wang Mingchuan a little petite. .

This is also the reason why Mingzhu was in a daze.

Why did Wang Mingchuan want to find such a vicious person?

Mingzhu came back to her senses and pulled people aside and asked in a low voice:

"Why did you find such a person, look... how come he doesn't seem like a good person?"

The man was tall and strong, not to mention his face, but he was actually a bit fierce, and his body was full of evil spirits. Wang Xiaotan was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at him. If Xiaoxi hadn't stared at her, he would have almost cried in front of him.

"I didn't want it at first, but after hearing what Ren Yazi said, this family is really pitiful. It was born in a rich family, but it was sold here because the master's family was married. Fortunately, the woman said that there are many people who want to buy it, but because this man looks a bit vicious, no one is willing to accept him, and the family of three refuses to separate, so it has been dragged on until now and he has not been able to find a buyer. The quarry is here, isn't it just in time for me to pick it?"

"you……"

Mingzhu glared at Wang Mingchuan but did not refute after all. After getting along with him for so many days, he also knew that Wang Mingchuan was not a sympathetic person. He must have a reason for choosing this family.Mingzhu herself is an ugly person, so she doesn't feel embarrassed to dislike her evil spirit, and now that she has been led to the door, she naturally has no reason to rush back.Thinking of this bright pearl, she bravely went to the family and said seriously:

"Since you have entered the Wang family, you should serve it with all your heart. If you are dedicated to the Lord, we will not treat your family of three badly. If I want to know that you have other ideas, sell them directly into the quarry!"

The mother and daughter bowed their bodies to answer, and the man probably also bowed his body, but because he was too tall, Mingzhu really couldn't tell the difference, so he had to ignore this problem and asked:

"What's their names?"

"Returning to the master, the younger one's surname is Wu, the third eldest in the family, you call me the third eldest Wu, this is my woman Han, and my daughter Cuiqiao. From now on, the younger family of three will definitely serve the master's family well, in return The grace of the master to take in."

Wu Laosan squeezed his face and nodded to Mingzhu, telling the latter to look at his calves trembling. Such a big man would naturally give people a strong sense of oppression. Although he accepted it intellectually, Mingzhu still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It was a little relieved when the family was sent to the servants' room for resettlement.

Wang Mingchuan put his arms around Mingzhu and didn't speak, he only raised his finger to point to the family of three who had left to ask him to see, Mingzhu looked in that direction and just happened to see the youngest Wu taking a grass clipping from Han's hair, such a thick The man is doing such delicate things with great care. He dared not twirl his wife's hair because he was afraid of hooking his wife's hair, so he fiddled with his fingertips and then blew gently. Do it thousands of times.

So Mingzhu finally knew why Wang Mingchuan chose this family.

"I went there for two rounds. The first time I had already ruled out this family, but during the second round, I happened to meet him picking out his daughter's ears."

Wang Mingchuan squeezed Mingzhu's hand, expressing his intentions,

"A person who loves his family like this is a thousand times better than those who are kind and evil."

Mingzhu nodded in agreement, but after thinking about it wrong, this guy took the opportunity to go around and say that he is ugly, Mingzhu raised his hand to hit someone, but was caught by Wang Mingchuan, held it in the palm of his hand, put it to his mouth and kissed him.

"what to do!"

Mingzhu looked at those little ones with a guilty conscience, but the four little heads turned around with great understanding and obediently covered their eyes and didn't look at this side, making Mingzhu feel even more guilty.

**

The next day Mrs. Wen was also successfully invited from the city. Mingzhu sent her to Fang's house in person. The money was settled early in the morning. If he couldn't catch up, he could only scold this kid for his slippery head while keeping this feeling in his heart, so that good deeds will reap good results, and this group of children will surely become rich and powerful in the future.

Tangpinzhai said to expand the scale, so Mingzhu started to expand the enrollment. Those people who had been eyeing here for a long time came to sign up as soon as they heard the news. As usual, Mingzhu asked Mrs. Jiang to choose. There is no one who knows better than her, so there are countless people who go to Jiang's house to say good things and give things to make friends at once.

Naturally, the workshop at home had to be expanded again. Mingzhu asked someone to help break through the stone wall and build another one. From the earliest three-person workshop to the current 30-person workshop, Mingzhu herself felt a little unbelievable. If you buy it and have to hire someone to take care of it, the property under your hand will spread more and more, and the bank notes in your pocket will also be stuffed more and more, even if Mingzhu falls asleep at night, she will have to count her property several times in her dreams , I was afraid that the silver would turn into water and leak out through the fingers.

"Brother Mingzhu, there is an old man!"

This day, Mingzhu just came back from outside to settle the matter of Chang Gong, but she bumped into Wang Xiaohu ding ding dong dong came running to inform him.

"Old man? Which family?"

"I don't know it either. I'm talking to my elder brother inside. Go in and have a look!"

Mingzhu led the child into the room, before she could see her face, she saw two little black and little yellow yelling at people, one on the left and the other on the right, and they seemed to never give up until they kicked them out.

"Pearl!"

When the man heard the footsteps coming, he wanted to meet Mingzhu with a happy face, but there were two dogs blocking him, and he couldn't move, so there was a flash of ferocity in the man's eyes, and he raised his leg to go. He kicked Xiao Huang, but Xiao Heiyan was the first to bite the leg of the person who came.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Seeing the situation, Xiao Huang wanted to rush to help, Ming Zhu didn't want to make trouble, so she asked Wang Xiaohu to lead Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang into the house, but she said to the old man with a smile all over her face:

"I'm sorry, this dog recognizes his life, and suddenly he doesn't get used to seeing outsiders."

Wearing thick clothes in late autumn, Xiao Hei didn't really bite the flesh, and the old man's face was ugly, but it was not easy to hold on to it. After all, it is normal for a dog to bite him in the countryside. The skin is not broken, and I can't get rid of my old face to be compensated.

"Mingzhu, are you blaming Third Grandpa for not visiting you often?"

Third grandfather?

Mingzhu frowned, she was from the Xue family again!Every time the Xue family was involved, it was not a good thing. After a while, the third grandpa popped up out of nowhere.

"You're joking, Mingzhu dares to blame you, it's just that the two dogs recognize each other and you want me to take them out to apologize to you or something."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you baby is a poisonous mouth. Back then, your father was an honest man, so why did you... Forget it, your father left early, and it was us who left you to Xue Da's unreliable husband and wife to raise you." It’s not true, but now I don’t have the face to find fault.”

Both inside and outside of these words mean that Zhu's tutor is not good. Wang Mingchuan listened to it but couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly took over the conversation and said:

"You haven't been here for a long time, but you didn't even look at the seat, so you started to teach my wife for me. It's Mingchuan's fault for you to work so hard to come to Wang's house to give a lecture."

The old man blushed when he heard this, and he didn't want to spend his time on this lip service, so he just changed the subject and talked about the purpose of coming today.

"Your uncle has already sent your uncle's family away, so the Zhao family is unreliable. If it weren't for the scandal and the trouble was too big, he wouldn't have let him in. Hey, we are a family after all. It's not good. Forcing your uncle to divorce his wife is just to make him think about it for a few days."

"What did the uncle's family do to make the uncle unhappy?"

"Hey, why did you push the matter away completely, kid? Didn't you say that Master Xue swallowed your family property at the beginning?"

"Is that to return the things to me?"

The old man was at a loss for words for a while, he didn't know how to continue, he searched left and right until his hair stood on end.

"Your uncle's family is also in a difficult situation. If your elder brother becomes an official in the future, he will have to pay a lot of money to make up for it. Now that you marry into the Wang family, you will have a better life, so don't bother with those small profits anymore. You don't have to be said to be mean. "

"Third Grandpa was just joking. Auntie like that doesn't deserve your harsh words. I just asked if I could get my things back, but it became mean. It's fair and selfless."

The old man's face became more and more ugly when he was refuted, but after all, he seemed to be worried about not falling out with Mingzhu, took a few deep breaths and still said nicely:

"Forget it, the grievances in your heart can't be solved with just one or two sentences. I came here today because of the family heirloom jade ring. Don't use the excuse of your great-uncle to deal with me. Such things really want Mrs. Zhao to get it." Take it out early to show off, according to his temperament, he will not be able to resist hiding it. Although this thing was given to you by your father, it is still a family heirloom. You should return it when you marry, no matter what. It cannot flow into the hands of his surname."

After all, he just wanted a broken jade ring. To be honest, Mingzhu didn't like this thing, but he really didn't know where the Laoshizi jade ring was!

"Third Grandpa, I'm not lying to you. You should have heard about the days I lived. If there were such valuable things, I would have sold them for food and kept them. I have never seen them before. Why don't you believe it!"

"You took it and sold it!"

"I've never seen a jade ring at all!"

Mingzhu refused to let go, Wang Mingchuan was by his side all the time. The old man couldn't force it, but after thinking about it, the boy's tone and demeanor didn't seem to be fake. If it's really not in Mingzhu's hands...

It is not impossible.

At the beginning, Xue Er hid the things so tightly that he refused to hand them over. Before he died, he should have known that Mingzhu would not be able to keep it when he was young, and it was very likely that he would hand it over to others for safekeeping.

"It's getting late, I'll go back first, Mingzhu, the third grandfather will come to see you when he is free."

The old man obviously thought of something, bid farewell to the Wang family in a hurry and almost ran away from the Wang family.

"Looking at this, the jade ring should be a very important thing. Are you sure you don't want it?"

Wang Mingchuan looked worried, but Mingzhu said indifferently:

"The most important thing in my eyes is people and not things, and I can clearly tell which is more important."
