Chapter 231: The mechanism is too smart

Zhang Li Lao’s two daughters have been married and now live with their children and grandchildren. In the whole house, there are four brick and tile houses in the north and four wooden houses in the east and west rooms, and a total of twelve houses. It is a wealthy family in Gaoshantun.

However, for the first time in his life, a real official came to his house. He was still sweating all over his body. After finally picking out a few clean clothes, he was still hesitant when he held them up. It was not until Zhang Yue took the thanks with a smile, and then changed into the inner room and handed him the wet clothes. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Although his family has some extra money, he usually wears silk cloth at most. He has only seen this silk a few times when he entered the city. At this time, he touched it in his hands with a delicate, soft and smooth one. He couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Seeing that his granddaughter Xier brought a bowl of ginger soup with a wooden square plate, he hurriedly picked up a bowl and handed it to Zhang Yue, and said again: "Xiaomin specially ordered the brown sugar to be placed inside. You just got rained, so hurry up and drink a bowl warmly to save the cold and relieve fatigue." Seeing that Zhang Yue took the thick porcelain bowl and finished drinking it in big mouthfuls, he rubbed his hands and smiled, "If something happened like that, Xiaomin is really shameless to be this old man, sir..."

"This is in your house, not in the court, so don't sip a little bite of a small person." Zhang Yue's bowl of hot ginger soup was full of warmth. The suffocation that had been attacked inexplicably gradually faded. "Since I said in front of others that I will not blame you, there is naturally no reason to settle the score later. But no matter what kind of reckless guy comes from in your village, it will inevitably bring harm. As an old man, you can check and teach a lesson in private."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

This was the first time Xier saw her grandfather, who had always been majestic, nodding and bowing like this in front of others, and her eyes couldn't help but rolling on Zhang Yue's face. Of course, she knew what the title of adult meant, but in her imagination, the official must be an old white-haired man older than her grandfather. How could she be such a young man who seemed to be about the same age as her?

Seeing Zhang Yue talking to her grandfather lightly, but not looking at her, she couldn't help but feel a little angry. The young men in the village couldn't turn their necks as long as they saw her. Is this guy a wooden man?

When grandfather handed over the wet clothes, she looked carefully and found that the material was even finer than her sister-in-law's best clothes. She could even see bright silver threads in the middle of her belt. The luxuriousness made her secretly smack her tongue. She became even more envious and yearning.

"Uncle San, let's send Master Liu!"

As soon as he heard the sound outside, Zhang Yue stood up. Zhang Li always hurriedly opened the curtains and asked Zhang Yue to go out first, and then he followed him out. Xier didn't know why the young official saw that Master Liu and brought clothes to his grandma, but he received an errand to go out to buy wine. Although she wanted to stay here to see the noble little adult, she had to take the money in a depressed mood.

There was only one family in the village who sold homemade rice wine. She ran there and paid for a large gourd wine, and then hurriedly rushed back with the wine gourd. When she saw her home from afar, she suddenly heard someone calling behind her back, and she was stunned when she turned around. She quickly shouted: "Brother Yue!"

The visitor nodded to her with a smile and asked again: "Miss Xier is going to buy wine? Are there any customers at home?"

"Not a guest, but an adult!" Xier simply put on another hand and hugged the heavy wine gourd, and complained indignantly. "This is the first time I have seen my grandfather be so respectful to others, and he looks even more respectful to his own father! By the way, Brother Yue is here to find my elder brother? I heard that he was following his grandfather to fight with people from the neighboring village today, but he was caught by the adult. It was raining now, and he was probably busy in the field!"

Yue Changtian looked towards the Zhang family yard, but smiled and shook his head: "I'm not looking for your elder brother. I understand what you said. It turned out to be the Lord Xiao Zhang. He is the important person. Of course, your grandfather must serve him respectfully. His family is rich and powerful. Don't you like the hairpin your elder brother bought for your elder sister-in-law? Even the girl beside him, there are at least ten or eight of these hairpins, and it's not the same. People have to serve them for a meal, and there are more than a dozen bowls and cups, which is naturally not something that your farmer can imagine."

Ten or eight are different! Xier is a girl who loves beauty. What she envies the most is that her sister-in-law wears the silver-haired face during festivals, and the rouge and water powder bought from the city. She thought it was the first-class good thing. Now Brother Yue actually said that other people's girls are so decent. Her face suddenly couldn't hide her envy.

"No wonder, I see his style. He's different from ours..."

"Of course, there is a cousin who is the Duke..." Yue Changtian sneered, and saw Xier looking at him blankly. He knew that it would be useless to say this to a country girl who didn't understand the court's ranks. Then he smiled and said, "The marriage your grandfather looked for for you is also top in Gaoshantun, but he is still a village household. There is also a scholar who has studied in the upper class. He won the Juren, but I don't know how many levels it takes to reach the level of others. In short, people are so angry that they have to serve him later. If they pull out a hair, they are thicker than your legs. You may be able to add some dowry at that time."

Xier was so excited by Yue Changtian's words. She thought that the other party was his elder brother's friend, and she was even more wary of it. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked again. Listening to Yue Changtian's talk about what Zhang Yue had been doing since she took office, she was extremely longing, but another thought came out of her mind.

Not to mention the marriage that grandpa was looking for, who could match the other young men in the village who were as big as that person? Look at him sitting there, everyone else could only laugh and nod. How glorious would it be if he could have such a husband? Immersed in infinite fantasy, she thanked Yue Changtian in a daze and walked towards her own home. She didn't know that the brother Yue whom she deeply trusted was just looking at her back with a sneer on his face.

"After all, he is a vain country girl. When he heard the word "wealth" and he was obsessed with it!"

Turning around a few houses, Yue Changtian met with a few men who had been waiting there, whispered a few words and walked out of the village. After a cup of tea, everyone came to a forest behind Gaoshantun, but took out a few horses from there. The horse turned over and shook the reins, and he ordered the others: "You go to Binhong, Zhao Wan and the others to report the message. They said that everything they wanted me to do was done. The leader will not care about what they want them to do in the future. Next, it depends on their own land!"

Zhang Yue was talking to Master Liu in the Zhang family's hall, but now he was surprised and happy. He was just curious, but after a while, the other party opened his mouth and said a lot of principles of building canals and dams. The carpenter's craftsmanship was not about making furniture but making farm tools. Zhang Li, who was complimenting next to him, simply took out a few of the Master Liu's land and farm tools, and he was even more satisfied. Who would have thought that he would pick up a treasure this time?

The livestock of the Ming Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Song Dynasty. So instead of relying on plowing oxen, he would rather rely on mutual assistance and cooperation among farmers. But if the existing farm tools could be improved, wouldn’t it greatly improve the farming efficiency, which would also increase the output?

"Grandpa, I bought rice wine!"

"What are you yelling? Didn't you see the adult talking to Master Liu?"

When Zhang Li Lao saw that Zhang Yue seemed to value Master Liu very much, he was extremely happy. After all, he was the recommended place, so if there was a request, he could take him. Seeing that his granddaughter came in with a wine gourd, he couldn't help but scolded him with a stern face, and then smiled at Zhang Yue: "Sir, it's noon. The farmhouses don't have any good food. Just in the morning, Xier picked up some fresh wild vegetables, and the young man brought two hares. Why don't you keep them for dinner with Master Liu?"

I wanted to say it was not troublesome. But Zhang Li was always attentive to stay guests. Zhang Yue looked at Master Liu as if he had something to say, so he agreed readily. Compared to the time when he was having dinner at Old Yangtou's house, the dishes from Zhang's family today were carefully cooked, with no shortage of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Although they were from the village households, the flavor was not as good as the city. Xier stood by her, with a small and attentive smile on her face. As a result, Master Liu was very excited during the happy event, and she had to praise her for being sensible. Zhang Yue also took a few more glances.

Zhang Li Lao also boasted that he had found a good family for his granddaughter, how honest and capable the future grandson-in-law and how wealthy the family was, but he didn't realize that Xier was stern. Zhang Yue was drinking and eating vegetables, because Master Liu agreed to go to Qingzhou with him and take advantage of his happiness. He immediately ordered Lian Sheng to take out a pair of silver croakers from his money bag. He laughed and said to put on Xier. Zhang Li Lao was overjoyed when he saw that the pair of silver croakers were at least two taels, and hurriedly ordered Xier to come forward and kowtow. No one else saw that Xier, holding the pair of silver croakers, looked unstable, and then quietly retreated.

The rice wine was sweet, but the momentum was quite strong. Zhang Li and Master Liu drank four bowls in one breath and were all drunk. Although Zhang Yue was a little restrained, he still couldn't help but drink two bowls of bowls by the two of them. After the meal, he couldn't help but want to take a nap.

Hu Qi and others have been used to Zhang Yue these days, and they don’t know how many village houses they have had. Before eating today, he told the three brothers to protect themselves and wander around the village. After all, they must not be taken lightly when they were attacked. The village house was infiltrated with a fanning place, so how could they not ask carefully?

After Zhang Yue got drunk, Lu Ba Wei Jiu Qin Shi knew that it was impossible to ride a horse back at this time, so he ordered Lian Sheng and Lian Hu to help Zhang Yue into the kang in the east room to rest. Seeing that Xier, who was quite handsome, looked around at the door for a while before running away, the three of them couldn't help but look at each other and laughed at the same time.

Who is not the girl in this master's ward? In addition, the two daughters of the Du family and the Meng family can still fall in love with others? So, two of them were guarding the inside, while the Lu Ba and the other two sat outside. Soon Xier brought walnuts and pine nuts to make tea. After dinner, the few people were a little dry and took them to drink one by one.

Half an hour later, Xier tiptoed to this room. Seeing the three big men sleeping soundly, she immediately showed joy and quickly flashed into the inner room. Sure enough, the two followers were already sitting on the little snoring, and Zhang Yue on the kang even made a uniform snoring sound. Thinking of the rich atmosphere that Yue Changtian said, she went straight forward and sat down on the edge of the kang, stretched out her hand but shrank back, but looked at Zhang Yue in a daze, and gradually became countless thoughts.

In the play, the young lady rescued her in distress and had a good ending. The young woman rescued her as if she had met a heartless man! If this adult woke up and turned against her, how could she have a good life?
