Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 110 Buying Land (2)

The Zhang family was overjoyed, but Wu Ma sighed and said, "Girls are not allowed to stay. As long as you live well, the young lady will be happy. Sister-in-law Zhang, Chun'e has no father or mother. She is her elder, so she will make decisions for her today, do you see if you are satisfied with her daughter-in-law?"

Chun'e blushed when she heard this, and lowered her head, feeling more and more embarrassed.

"Satisfied, we can't wait for it." Sister-in-law Zhang smiled all over her face, pushed her son, and said, "Silly boy, why don't you thank Mama Wu, without her, you boy would be lucky enough to marry such a wonderful Chun'e." daughter in law?"

Zhang Yuan scratched his head with a silly smile, blushed and walked up to Mama Wu, kowtowed, and said loudly, "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely treat Chun'e well."

Wu Ma helped Zhang Yuan to stand up from the ground. "Good boy, with your words, I feel relieved."

Zhang Yuan blushed, then smiled naively, turned around and glanced at Chun'e who was blushing.

The two stood in the room looking at each other, obviously very happy, but because of the shame in their hearts, neither of them dared to take the initiative to go forward.In the end, it was Wu Ma who put the hands of the two together, clapped them heavily, and said, "It's not that one family doesn't stay in one house. From now on, you two will live a good life together and respect the elderly well."

Chun'e bowed her head and said "um", and when she heard what Zhang Yuan just said, she felt sweet in her heart, and deliberately put her shoulders next to Zhang Yuan, getting closer to him.

Seeing the small movements of the two people's eyebrows, Wu Ma felt very relieved, and it finally turned out to be a good thing.

Zhang Liujin was still sitting on Kang Yan'er, quietly looking at the bank note in his hand, feeling a little excited and emotional for a while.

Sister-in-law Zhang was very good at things, and immediately rummaged through the box and chest to find out the only one hundred Wen coins left, and gave it to Zhang Yuan: "Boss, go to the old cow's house in the village to buy some wine and meat."

Today is a good day, you should have fun.

Zhang Yuan took the money, nodded in response, and then bought four catties of fresh beef and half a catty of small roast. Although there were not many things, they were already extremely rare and good food for their family.

Wu Ma didn't refuse and stayed to have lunch with the family.Before dinner, the Zhang family's second son and third daughter all came back from outside.

Zhang Long, the second son of the Zhang family, is tall and strong, half a head taller than his elder brother, and Zhang Xiu, the third daughter of the Zhang family, is only 11 years old this year. People are shy and keep hiding behind their mother.

After Wu Ma spoke a few words to her in a soft voice, she tilted her head and showed a shy smile. Then, she picked up the basket she had brought back earlier, took out a persimmon from it and put it on her clothes. Rubbing on it, he said as if offering a treasure: "This is a persimmon I picked up on the top of the hill, you can try it."

Wu Ma didn't dislike it, she took a sip of the persimmon, she felt that the juice was as sweet as honey, very delicious, but the skin was a bit astringent, so she couldn't help asking: "Is this the persimmon grown by your own family?"

Zhang Liujin shook his head while pouring the wine: "It's all planted on the top of a small hill. It's a big area. I heard that it's the land of Mr. Wang's family, but no one cares about it, and the place is wasted."

Wu Ma tasted the persimmons again, and said, "This persimmon is so delicious, it will definitely sell for a good price in the city."

When the weather is cold, the fruit becomes more expensive.

This persimmon has thin skin and is juicy and sweet, just the best.

Zhang Liujin immediately said, "If it wasn't for the busy farm work this year, our family would have reclaimed a few acres of land to grow persimmons in the morning."

Wu Ma's heart moved, and she immediately said: "Brother Zhang, now that you have money and free time, you really should go up the mountain to have a look. If you really grow this big sweet persimmon, I will take as much as you have next year." ?”

Hearing this, Zhang Liujin shook the wine glass in his hand slightly, and only spilled the wine. He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, licked the wine on the table with his tongue without hesitation, smacked his lips and said : "Mother Wu, are you kidding us?"

Wu Ma said lightly: "I'm serious. Think about it carefully, don't worry, and write to me later."

Zhang Liujin immediately had a plan in his mind. He planted wheat every year, and he had other plans in his heart. Now, after listening to Wu Ma's words, his heart suddenly started to itch.

Mrs. Zhang was at the side, listening carefully to Wu Ma's words, wishing she could immediately bow her up like a God of Wealth, and immediately put the freshly filled bone soup in front of her.

A pot of broth made from pork bones, a large pot of stewed beef and potatoes, and a dozen pancakes were all placed on the table.

At the dinner table, only Wu Ma and Chun'e used chopsticks.Farmers eat a lot, and they don't pay much attention to it. They just rolled up pancakes with their hands, served them with broth, and ate them in big mouthfuls.

After lunch, Mama Wu sat down for a while, then got up to say goodbye.

The Zhang family sent her out respectfully all the way. In order to avoid her stepping on the muddy water again, Zhang Yuan personally carried her out of the village entrance.

Chun'e trotted along and followed behind, helping Wu Ma into the carriage herself.

Wu Ma raised the curtain and told her: "Live a good life, and I will come to see you when I have time later."

Chun'e smiled gratefully at Mama Wu. "Mama, please say hello to Miss Wu for me, and just say that I kowtow to her here." After speaking, Chun'e kowtowed three times to Mama Wu, Zhang Yuan stood aside and couldn't help her up. I had to let her go.

Wu Ma's heart warmed, she nodded, and hurriedly beckoned them to go back.

That night, Mama Wu returned to Zhu's house with the land deed and lease.As soon as she came back, she told Shen Yuechen about the land purchase and Chun'e's happy event.

Shen Yuechen was slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "It's the best, I think it was a blessing in disguise for her."

Wu Ma nodded: "Yes, that Zhang family almost treats her like a baby."

Shen Yuechen smiled: "In the end, it was my mother who arranged it well, gave them this fate, and helped me complete this matter."

Wu Ma handed over the land deed and lease agreement for her to read.

"A total of twelve mu of land, the annual rent is [-] taels of silver, and there is still [-]% of the harvest."

"So, today we can count as double happiness."

Shen Yuechen read the land deed and lease agreement carefully, not missing a single word, nodded and said: "Mom is doing business, so I can rest assured."

Shen Yuechen then called Chun Ming in and asked her to take out the small brocade box from the cabinet, which contained some gold and silver locks and a few small rings.

Shen Yuechen put the land deed and lease agreement into the box, because she seldom moved this box, and kept it in the cabinet all the time, and it looked very inconspicuous.

Wu Ma told Chunming about Chun'e's happy event. Chunming also had a look of disbelief, feeling a little overwhelmed, but then clapped her hands happily and said, "This girl is really blessed."

Because of what happened to Chun'e, the three of them were really happy for a while.

When Zhu Jintang came over, he happened to hear Chunming's laughter, but as soon as he entered the room, there was no sound in the room.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw that Shen Yuechen was sitting in front of the vanity mirror combing her hair, Wu Ma and Chunming were standing beside her, the three master and servant seemed to be talking about something, but stopped in the middle.

Shen Yuechen pursed her lips, looked at Zhu Jintang with a smile on her face, stood up and lowered her head, put the small box back in Chunming's hand, and then greeted him with a smile.

Chun Ming was also blessed, turned around and put the box back into the cabinet, and gently closed the door.

Zhu Jintang glanced at Chunming, but was blocked by Shen Yuechen who came up to him.

"Just now, your master and servant were talking and laughing, what good things can you say? Why didn't I say anything when I came in." Zhu Jintang said, his eyes turned slightly inadvertently, and he glanced at Wu Ma and Chunming in the room. However, this made Chunming secretly nervous.

"Oh, it's just women's gossip, it's nothing." Shen Yuechen smiled, and changed his clothes and shoes himself, as attentive and thoughtful as usual.

After Wu Ma washed the persimmons brought back from Zhang's house, she put them on the table. "Master, this persimmon is new, do you want to try it?"

Zhu Jintang only glanced at it, waved his hands and said, "No need."

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, looked at Mama Wu and said with a smile, "Take it first." He never liked to eat sweets, and he rarely ate fruit.

If he doesn't eat it, neither can she.

Although persimmon is sweet and juicy, it is extremely cold in nature, so it is absolutely untouchable.

Zhu Jintang took off his long robe and changed into regular clothes, and replaced his boots with one-sided cloth shoes. He felt a lot lighter all of a sudden, leaned straight on the couch, and raised his hand to press his forehead.

"Master is not feeling well?" Shen Yuechen asked with concern.

"No, just a little tired."

Zhu Jintang stayed up too late last night and only slept for less than three hours, so his head hurts a bit.

"Let me do it." Shen Yuechen sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his temples. "The weather is getting colder every day, uncle must take care of himself."

Zhu Jintang closed his eyes and gave a soft "hmm".

At this time, Cuixin came in from the door with a tray on which was placed a white porcelain tureen.

Chunming reached out to take it first, seeing that it was warm, it just happened to enter the mouth, and said, "Miss, drink it while it's hot." After speaking, he opened the bowl lid, and a strong fragrance of frankincense came out instantly.

Zhu Jintang smelled the fragrance, opened his eyes, and saw Shen Yuechen gently stirring the milk in the bowl.

Shen Yuechen took a sip lightly, nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's not that sweet anymore, this is just right."

Seeing that she drank milk every night before going to bed, Zhu Jintang slightly frowned and said, "Don't you dislike the fishy smell of this thing?"

Shen Yuechen smiled faintly: "This milk is the most soothing. Wu Ma added a little chopped walnuts and almond powder to it, and it tastes like no smell at all. Do you want to try it, sir?"

Zhu Jintang shook his head.There are persimmons and milk, which are things only children like.

After hearing what he said, Shen Yuechen smiled faintly, and slowly drank the milk in the bowl.

I thought to myself, he is only 25 years old, but he usually talks like a little old man.

Because he was too tired, Zhu Jintang fell asleep early today, and Shen Yuechen waited for him to fall asleep before moving outside to talk to Wu Ma.

Wu Ma said softly: "I will send the money left over from the land purchase to the bank for deposit in the morning." Instead of keeping it at home, it is better to put it in the bank to earn interest.

Shen Yuechen nodded: "Mom, you can make the decision."
