Chapter 123

In the past years, the land bought and opened up has been meticulously cultivated year after year, and the harvest has also increased year by year. This year, the harvest of the farmland under his hands is almost the same as that of good land. The grain harvested is enough for a family to eat for three to two years. use.

Grain should be stored in the warehouse at any time for emergencies, but it should not be stored too much, as the food will eventually spoil if it is not used for a long time.

As usual, Zhang Fangyuan kept the latest year’s grain in the warehouse, and transferred the old grain from previous years to the grain store for sale, so that the grain in the granary could always be kept fresh, and the old grain could be exchanged for Silver taels.

Zhang Fangyuan sold the grain hoarded last year for nearly three hundred taels of silver.

“The relatives in the clan saw that the farmland was cultivated well, and the food paid by the farmhands alone was enough to eat and there was still some leftovers. The clan relatives wanted to hand over the land to help them take care of it.”

Zhang Fangyuan listened to Xu He’s talk, and said: “I have meant this for a long time, as the owner of the house has conveyed, the members of the clan are all farmers, and they cannot leave the land in their hands. It seems that I am going to deceive them into taking their land. Usually, seeing the autumn harvest and paying the grain, the farm laborers are greedy.”

Xu He smiled: “Isn’t everyone like this all the time, there’s no need to get angry with them.”

“If I’m angry, I can’t stop being angry.” Zhang Fangyuan said: “If they are willing, they can organize the land. It just so happened that a few days ago, a villager asked for land to work as a farm laborer for the family. The existing land was distributed, and there was no more land, so I did not reply to those who came.”

“If the people in the clan want to take out the land, they will go back to the villagers who came to ask for it.”

Talking about the farm laborer at home, Xu He said: “The number of farm laborers is increasing. Before, the family’s 100 mu of land was more than enough to distribute to the farm laborers. Now it is not enough. Should we buy more land to open up wasteland?”

Zhang Fangyuan has also thought about opening up some wasteland, but the wasteland near the village is scattered and it is not easy to buy it in a piece. available for purchase.

Since the family already has land, wouldn’t it be more secure if there was a mountain top, and the land at the foot of the mountain can also be reclaimed, which can serve multiple purposes.

Xu Shizi grows up day by day, he is getting old, he is more inclined to buy property and land in his hometown than to chase profits abroad, no matter how many shops open, no matter how good the business is, if you are an official, you will not be able to shut it down As long as it is closed, it will be more stable if there is land and hills.

“Okay, after finishing the bill, let’s go and have a look at it in a few days.”

The two of them settled their accounts a little late at night, and they woke up a little late in the morning, and Brother Li started to make a fuss early in the morning.

“The autumn is crisp and clear. The polo field in the south of the city is open and you can play… There are many people who can see the world. I want to go and see it.”

Xu He was a little sleepy: “How can you go there alone?”

“Where I am going alone, my brother is going too!”

Xu He’s eyes became clearer when he heard this: “Your brother rarely goes out to have fun, do you really mean to go?”

“He has already changed his clothes in the house, how can I still use this to coax daddy?”

Zhang Fangyuan poked his head out and glanced at the well-dressed little brother carp. Where did he come to ask, he clearly came to inform.

The little brother hasn’t been too complicated, but he looks like a beautiful little peacock: “Daddy, I’m going out.”

Xu He still wanted to say something, but Zhang Fangyuan held him back: “Let him go, there is nothing wrong with Ruijin. Ruijin seldom goes out to have fun, so let him go for a walk.”

The old man said so, Xu He has nothing to say.

“Even if my brother is playing polo and throwing pots at home, or when he returns to his hometown, why is he in such a good mood today that he wants to go out with me to the racecourse?”

Brother Xiaoli waited at the gate for a long time before his brother came out slowly, but he never disliked being too lazy to wait, after all, there were not many opportunities to go out to play with his brother.

Seeing the person come out, he stepped forward and grabbed Ruijin’s wrist to get into his carriage.

Ruijin didn’t get on the carriage, and asked an irrelevant question: “You only go out with me today?”

Brother Xiaoli didn’t know, so he said, “Otherwise?”

“Didn’t you like to take Brother Xiao Xing with you in everything you did?”

“Brother Xiao Xing doesn’t like to talk these days. He stays in the room and doesn’t move. I call him a few times before answering me. He must be in a bad mood. The racecourse is so chaotic. Where would he go?”

Ruijin pondered for a moment: “I saw that he seems to have lost some weight.”

“you do not say.”

“Go and call him, it’s not good to be bored in the room, go out and relax.”

Brother Xiao Li narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and glanced at his brother suspiciously. Ruijin felt hairy on his back, and was about to open his mouth when he heard Brother Li say, “Brother is bored reading all day in the study. , I am ashamed to say that it is not good to be stuffy in the room! Hmph!”

After saying that, he turned around and ran to the Luo family.

Ruijin looked at the back of Brother Li, running fast, the jade pendant on his waist flashed an afterimage in the wind, he shook his head helplessly, and turned to look at the gate of the Luo family.

“I know you are most afraid of the heat. It’s not hot outside at all now. If you don’t go for a walk while it’s sunny, it will be winter in the blink of an eye.”

Luo Yuxing was sitting in front of the bronze flower mirror and was embroidering flowers. When he saw Brother Li rushing in, he pushed the things aside, so he knew that someone was here to persuade him to go out. .

“Stop sewing and go out.”

Luo Yuxing was sleepy and didn’t want to move. He didn’t let go when he saw that his arms were turning red.

Rui Li knew that he couldn’t invite people today, so he sighed: “Brother asked me to call you, he said he wanted you to go out to relax, I told you that you definitely don’t want to go out, he still doesn’t believe it. That’s all, You have a good rest in the house, I’m going out, I’ll come back and bring you Yun Fuxiang’s fruit.”

“Brother Ruijin said he wanted to take me to relax?” Luo Yuxing asked in a low voice, a little in disbelief.

“Yup.”

Luo Yuxing moved his fingers and got off the stool: “I, I didn’t clean up, I’m afraid I’ll make him wait for a long time.”

The Rui carp people had already reached the door, and they backed away, saying sourly: “It’s better for brother to save face!”

Luo Yuxing pursed his lips, not saying yes or no.

“Let him wait.” Brother Xiao Li went to open Luo Yuxing’s locker, found clothes and came out: “There is a lot of dust on the racecourse, so it’s not as clean as the street market. You need to find clothes that fit well.”

The two tossed a stick of incense in the room, and when they went out, Luo Yuxing apologized to Ruijin: “Brother Ruijin has kept you waiting for a long time.”

“It’s okay, I should have informed you earlier.” Ruijin stretched out her hand: “Let’s go, get in the car.”

Brother Xiaoli watched his brother lead Luo Yuxing into the carriage, and immediately widened his eyes. Why did his brother hate him so much today, and even robbed his little brother!

He climbed up angrily.

In autumn, the racecourse in the southern suburbs of the city is bustling, and the tourists coming and going are like crucian carp crossing the river.

There are many activities at this end of the racecourse, not only riding and shooting polo, chuiwan, poetry, and even fishing. In addition to the adults, there were also many teenagers who came out with the adults. The adults were in one place, and the younger ones were in another place, but they did not affect each other.

The turf had turned yellow in late autumn, the wind was strong in the field, and Rui carp’s eyes were blurred. It was not the first time he came to the racecourse, but he really liked the cool wind here. He was afraid that Luo Yuxing would not be used to it, so he was protected from the wind.

“This is a place for playing polo and riding horses. There is a chuiwan field next to it, and there is a poetry club next to it. You can go fishing next to it.” Brother Xiaoli became more lively when he came out, and he introduced to Luo Yuxing: “Where do you want to play, let’s talk about it first. It’s hard to come out, and you are not allowed to go to the poetry meeting.”

“Rui Li, are you here? Are you going to end today? Can I be on your team?”

As soon as the words were finished, several little brothers and girls gathered around: “It’s been a long time since I saw you coming, and I thought you wouldn’t come today. The trick you taught me last time was so powerful, I won several times in a row. .”

The little brothers and the girls were chattering, almost pushing Luo Yuxing out.

“Be careful, why are you so close, it’s squeezing my brother Xing!”

It was only then that everyone realized that Rui Li was leading a beautiful little brother: “Who is he?”

“Go, go, he’s my little baby.”

“what?”

Luo Yuxing was used to the talk of brother Li, but outsiders looked at Luo Yuxing in surprise.

“Brother Li, I won’t go to the poetry meeting. Do you want brother Ruijin to end? Can I watch him play from the stands?”

Rui Li rolled his eyes: “It’s nothing to watch him play polo, but it’s better to accompany me to Chuiwan, I’m so good, I can kill everyone!”

As soon as the words fell, Ruijin walked over from a distance, and there was a sudden commotion in the youth field: “It’s him, it’s him! I saw him fight in spring, it was amazing, every time this horse field is open, I will always look forward to it.” Come, but I have never seen him come over again, how lucky is it to see him again!”

“I don’t know if he will end today, let’s go up to the stands to get a good position! It’s not good if you lose your sight!”

“I’m definitely going to ask his name this time.”

Brother Xiaoli stood in the crowd, listening to the voices of the people beside him, his mouth was full. The eyes of the little brothers and girls around him seemed to be sucked away by Rui Jin: “Rui Li, why did your brother come here today!”

“Let’s not play chuiwan for now, after watching your brother play polo, shall we go play again?”

“Hurry up, the seats in the stands will be filled.”

With a crash, everyone around Brother Li ran away.

“If I knew it was like this, I should have let him rot in the study.” Brother Xiaoli almost rolled his eyes: “Look, there are a lot of people who want to watch him play polo, and some of them are cheering for him, so don’t pay attention to him. , Follow me to see Da Chuiwan.”

Luo Yuxing glanced at the little brother and woman who had run away and their faces were flushed with excitement, and slightly closed their eyelids. Outstanding boys are always welcome. Brother Ruijin rarely goes out, so it is reasonable to be a blockbuster.

“All right.”

Luo Yuxing was led by brother Li to the chuiwan field.

“Brother Li, come back.”

Hearing someone yelling, Rui Li turned his head and saw his elder brother coming straight this way: “What are you doing?”

“Where are you taking Little Xing?”

“Go and see me playing chuiwan.”

Ruijin looked at the little soft boy who seemed to be at the mercy of others, and said, “Do you want to ride a horse?”

Luo Yuxing’s eyes moved, but he couldn’t help regretting: “I won’t.”

“I’ll teach you.” Luo Yuxing was a little afraid of that kind of unrestrained and wild animal, he hesitated for a while and said: “Will it delay Brother Ruijin’s end?”

“No.” Ruijin added: “I won’t end today.”

Brother Xiaoli tilted his head, and said speechlessly: “The basketful of people are waiting to see you play polo, so why don’t you end?”

Ruijin beckoned, the servant brought a horse, he didn’t answer Brother Li’s words, he turned over and got on the horse, and stretched out his hand to lead Luo Yuxing.

Carefully sitting on the horse, Luo Yuxing looked at the person standing with his hips akimbo, and said apologetically, “Brother Li, I haven’t ridden a horse before, so I’ll go around twice and come back to watch you beat the chuiwan.”

Brother Xiaoli smiled slightly: “Be careful, go, have fun.”

“Um.”

Rui Li stood still and looked at the two people riding away on a steed, with his mouth pursed into a line of mixed flavors.

A group of young boys and girls who were still fighting for their seats in the stands were dumbfounded when they saw the people who rode away like a pair of Bi people.

“What! Whoever said he was going to end, I was so happy.”

“Who is so lucky to let him teach horse riding, and I don’t know how to ride, why don’t you teach me!”

Brother Xiaoli looked away, well, he is not the only one who is sad, that’s good.

The author has something to say:

Brother Xiaoli: Okay, if you are happy, it doesn’t matter if you forget me (smile jpg)
