Sturdy and pretty daughter-in-law Shanlihan

Chapter 679 Teaching to drive a carriage
"You boy!" Liang Lizheng had admiration in his eyes, "It is a good thing for a man to think that the wife in the house is good, and it is conducive to the stability of the family." After that, he carefully dipped the ink with a brush, holding the notebook in one hand and Take a pen, walk from one edge of the open space to the other, and write down in the notebook when you are done walking.

Walk in four directions, each step is even, if you encounter something that is not in a straight line, mark it and fill in the distance.

Su Qingyue watched his steps, and soon understood.

After a while, Liang Lizheng finally finished measuring, "Let me do the math, how much land does it add up..."

Qingyue said indifferently, "Measure the land area by walking. One zhang is ten feet, one foot is ten inches, and one step is six feet. You just walked a total of 240 square steps, which is exactly one mu of open space."

Liang Lizheng glanced at her in surprise, then buried his head in calculations for a long time, and finally looked at her in surprise, "Daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, you are so skilled, you really scored well with all the twists and turns."

Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Yanshan also found it inconceivable.

"Daughter-in-law, why are you calculating so fast?" Yu Chuan said, "I've been calculating for a long time, but there is no result until now. If I didn't know a lot of calculations when I was selling goods, I'm afraid I don't even know how to calculate. .”

Mount Xiaoyu doesn't know how to measure the area by walking, so I believe Lizheng will be fair.

Qingyue said, "I see that Li is walking evenly, and when I occasionally mutter a calculation in my mouth, it will be clear. It's quite simple."

"It's not easy..." Liang Zhenghong looked at Su Qingyue and couldn't help nodding, "Daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, you are a smart person."

In fact, Su Qingyue knows how to calculate, so she doesn't need to say it out, what she wants is Liang Zhenghong's admiration, after all, being able to build a good relationship with Li Zheng, living in Wushan Village, will be useful in the future.

She smiled slightly, "Liang Lizheng, you are flattering yourself."

Liang Zhenghong waited for the ink on the notebook to dry, then closed the notebook and said, "One mu of foundation is just 18 taels of silver. Tomorrow, you and Er Gouzi's father and mother will go to the town's yamen with me, and go to his family's ten mu. The paddy field is under the name of the Xiao family, and I will also prepare the title deed of the new house for you, and the yamen will pay a fee of two taels of silver."

"Success." Xiao Yushan responded.

The group walked back.

Qingyue and Chuanzi returned to Xiao's house, and Xiao Yanshan gave Liang Lizheng a ride before returning home.

Xiao Qinghe, who was weaving bamboo baskets, said, "Second brother, have you finished measuring the foundation?"

"The measurement is over." Xiao Yanshan looked at the horses tied under the firewood shed, "Tomorrow I want to drive a carriage to the town, with Er Gouzi's family and Lizheng, it is more cost-effective to charter a carriage than to drive our carriage."

Su Qingyue asked, "Second brother, can you go alone?"

"Hmm." He nodded.

"Second brother can drive a carriage, right?"

He shook his head, "I used to help people drive ox carts."

"In fact, driving a carriage is quite simple, I'll teach you." She looked at the weather, "There is still some time before dark, let's practice, and the second brother will be able to drive the carriage tomorrow."

"Okay..." Although it's a bit embarrassing to ask my wife to teach, but if you don't know it, you won't. It doesn't matter if you lose face and learn more.

"Daughter-in-law, I want to learn too!" Xiao Yuchuan said excitedly.

Su Qingyue nodded, and it's not too late to teach one more.She put the harness on the cart and the horse, pulled the horse out, and sat at the front of the cart, "Second brother, come sit here, hold the rein with your left hand, and the whip with your right..."
