Chapter 506
Chapter 133 What’s wrong
Shen Ruolan, dressed in a blue silk brocade dress, was sitting on a chair in the main house. Several elders in the village sat with him. The rest were standing. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was exceptionally good.
“Lan, Lan’er, huh, can I call you that now?” Qiu Ping’s sister-in-law said to Shen Ruolan a little cautiously.
Shen Ruolan smiled and said: “Why not? When I was a child, my sister-in-law used to pull me!”
Seeing that Shen Ruolan hadn’t alienated everyone because of her superior status, and was so approachable, everyone was relieved, and she didn’t have to be cautious in her words.
Shen Ruolan asked everyone what the harvest was like now, and she was satisfied with the answer she got.
The current per capita income of Fenghuang Village is ten times as much as before. The villagers are now working for Shen Ruolan’s workshop, earning a lot of money. In the spring and autumn, they help the Shen family to cultivate the harvest and earn a lot, plus By planting a little more land and raising some poultry, it can be said that every family is already living a well-off life.
Nowadays, if you ask who is doing well, you can’t ask who can have enough food, but who has built a brick house or not.
The current standard for measuring the living conditions of the villagers in Fenghuang Village has to be based on whether the family has built brick houses and how many brick houses have been built.
Looking at the current Fenghuang Village, almost every household has built brick houses. Even the main roads in the village are paved with bluestone slabs. Like in the city, most of the villagers wear cotton clothes, and rarely wear them. Patch clothes. The girls from other villages have sharpened their heads and went to Fenghuang Village to marry. The girls and lads in Fenghuang Village have appreciated in value. The lads are good at marrying their wives, and the girls are good at marrying, and they all choose good people to marry. !
Shen Ruolan was very pleased to see that everyone was having a good time, and by the way distributed the New Year gift to everyone.
She came back in anger. She hadn’t planned to come back before, so she didn’t prepare anything, so she had to give everyone the most basic and most applicable silver.
Every household in Fenghuang Village rewarded twelve taels of silver, and the entire village received more than six hundred taels of silver. This amount of money is nothing but a small amount to Shen Ruolan or to Princess Zhan. However, the villagers in Phoenix Village were all amused.
Ten taels of silver, almost catching up with the harvest of one year.
The princess is the princess, she is really generous!
Not to mention the joy of everyone, but said that Liu and Shen Degui, etc., seeing Shen Ruolan so easily rewarded hundreds of taels of silver, couldn’t help but frowned and felt painful.
More than six hundred taels of silver was given to people without blinking. This is too prodigal!
If these old money were given to them, it would be great!
Looking at the twelve denominations of silver bills being taken away by the villagers, Liu opened his mouth several times, trying to stop it, but he glanced at Shen Ruolan who was sitting on the chair and looked at her faint eyebrows. Opening your mouth can’t stop this incident. It’s boring to ask for nothing, so I forcibly resisted not telling me about my dissatisfaction. I just looked at the banknotes that were distributed, secretly hurting!
Everyone was an eye-catching person, and soon after they got the banknotes, they all dispersed.
Lan’er just came back, and she was in the dust on the way. This meeting must be tired, and I want to rest. They just have to take a look. They can’t stay at home forever without a wink. People who are disturbing can’t rest. !
After everyone left, Liu and Shen Degui did not leave.
Their house has been sold to Shen Ruolan and turned into a workshop. After returning this time, the two of them moved into the house of Shen Dejian’s family confidently.
Liu believes that this is her son’s home, and she can live there as long as she wants to live, and no one can care about it.
If the thin girl and Heizi were still there, they might be able to resist for a while and drive out their shameless couple, but the thin girl is already married and is no longer at home. Heizi is dead, and there is only Taidi at home. Neither sister nor Lingdi were great, and they didn’t dare to stop them, so they had to move in.
After the two of them moved in, they not only regarded this place as their own home, but they also gave instructions to Taidi and Lingdi, as if they were the girls of their old Shen family. The two of them indeed spent a few days comfortable living in the big house of Shen Dejian’s family, but after Shen Ruolan came back, their comfortable days came to an end.
Because Shen Ruolan came back and brought back dozens of people, these people couldn’t live there, let alone let them stay here.
Not to mention that she can’t live with them, even if she can live with them, Shen Ruolan will not arrange the people who should be against her under her eyelids.
Therefore, after hearing that Liu and Shen Degui had been living in their own homes, they said, “It’s the Chinese New Year, and I didn’t prepare any gifts for my grandma, so I returned the original house to my grandma. Your New Year’s gift! I’ll ask someone to clean up later. Grandma and Sanshu will be able to go back to their home tonight.”
When Liu heard that Shen Ruolan returned the old house to them as a coming-of-age ceremony, he was immediately disappointed.
She thought that even the ordinary villagers gave Shen Ruolan ten taels each, so she would have to give them a few hundred taels or even thousands of taels, but she didn’t expect to give them only a worthless one. The old house, it’s not as good as the villagers’ fifteen silver dollars!
Besides, they are all used to living in the big brick house of her family, how can they live in the small and ruined soil embryo house?
Therefore, after hearing Shen Ruolan’s words, Liu’s face suddenly became unsightly.
However, with Shen Ruolan’s status today, even if she is not satisfied, she dare not scream and drink like she used to be like before. She only said with a displeased face, “The house is not used as a business in your house. Well, since they are all used as workshops, just stay in front of them. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to move around. You all live in the Jizhou Palace and this house is unoccupied. Your old uncle and I happen to live here. I will help you take care of the house and look at home.”
Although she said that, she actually thought of this house as something in her bag, thinking that they would not come back anyway, this house is empty and empty, it is better to live in her old lady. As long as they stay in, slowly, isn’t this house owned by her and Degui?
But Shen Ruolan said, “It’s no trouble. The workshop at home is expanding day by day, and your house can’t accommodate so many workers. I’m thinking about waiting for the warmth to build a large factory and move both the vermicelli workshop and the dried tofu workshop. !”
She was telling the truth. With the growing business of vermicelli and dried tofu, the two workshops have indeed long been unable to afford the workers. Shen Ruolan intends to rebuild the other courtyard that Chun Yumin previously built on the mountain. The factory buildings, warehouses, and workshops are moved there. The crops on the mountain can be temporarily stored there after the autumn harvest. The space there is large enough and it is not far from the village, so it is more suitable to be placed there.
Seeing that Shen Ruolan insisted on pushing her away, Liu did not dare to argue with the princess Zhan, so he had to pin his hopes on his son, and looked at Shen Dejian and said, “Second, what do you think?”
Shen Dejian also saw that his mother did not want to leave, but also knew that his daughter did not like his mother, and was afraid that everyone would be unhappy if the mother stayed at home, so he said: “Or mother, you and Degui, please go back first. I live in the old house. When the spring is warm, I will help you turn over the old house and build it into a brick house. The two-in-one will be built according to my house.”
At first, Liu heard Shen Dejian let her go, and his heart suddenly became unhappy, but when he heard that he promised to build a brick house for his family, he would build a house according to theirs. Liu was satisfied this time, thinking that he would have to be his own son. Well, I know that the mother to her is much better than the dead girl who flies up to Gao Zhier and doesn’t recognize anyone!
Shen Degui was dissatisfied. The second brother wanted to build a house for them in his hometown. He wanted them to take root in his hometown. He doesn’t want to stay in the countryside all his life, he has to go out to be an official!
Seeing the old mother’s expression of satisfaction, he hurriedly pulled her a hand quietly, and said with a smile: “Second brother is not so troublesome, we live in that old house, we don’t need to flip it again, let’s talk about it. It may not be a long time to live in an old house.”
Speaking of this, he looked at Shen Ruolan, his eyes more and more pleased, and said, “In the past two years, I have been in business for two years, and I have gained a lot of knowledge, but I am a scholar after all. , Unlike my second brother-in-law, he didn’t get much better after two years of work. I thought it would be better to go back to my profession. After reading so many years of books, it would be more appropriate for me to learn from the literature.”
Shen Ruolan looked at his cautious temptation, and suddenly understood seven or eight points in her heart, and smiled: “The third uncle is right. It is better to be in the business. Why not do this. Anyway, there are many children in our village school. Just add another class, and my uncle will be a husband in the school.”
The corner of Shen Degui’s mouth fell: Mr. Shangcun School, it’s better to go out to do business. He has written books for so many years for the sake of being an official, not for being a teacher.
So, he coughed and said cheeky: “Lan’er, look, you are now a princess, let your third uncle be the husband of the school, your face is not pretty.”
Shen Ruolan ha ha ha: “Then what do you think is my face?”
Shen Degui said arrogantly: “You see, the third uncle is also a person who has read sage books for more than ten years, and there is some ink in his stomach. Although the literary talent dare not compare with the literati and scholars in the imperial court, he is compared with the county magistrate and the prime minister in the county. It is definitely not inferior to them, so, so…”
“So Sanshu wants to be an official!” Shen Ruolan continued.
Shen Degui laughed a few times and said, “Lan’er is still smart, and that’s what my uncle thinks.”
When Shen Ruolan heard him brazenly admit it, she almost laughed in anger, but fortunately he dared to make such a request. After more than ten years of study, she failed to pass the exam for a child and wanted to be an official. I really don’t know. Where is his confidence?
Besides, how did he forget about himself in the first place? What face is there to ask her for an official? Why is his face so big? Why doesn’t he go to heaven?
Shen Degui didn’t know that Shen Ruolan had already denied him deadly in his heart. Seeing Shen Ruolan’s silence, she was still thinking. Now that she had said everything, she also had a good face, pitifully begging: “Lan’er, Hao Lan’er, you are now a princess, and King Zhan spoils you so much. Whether or not you can become an official is a matter for you. You have to pity the poor uncle, help uncle, if the uncle gets the reward I hope that you will never forget your support for the rest of your life. Don’t worry, after taking office, your uncle will designate to do it well. He will never let you slap you in front of King Cham, and will never smear your face…”
“Uncle San wants to be an official, that’s a good idea.”
Shen Ruolan interrupted his endless chatter and said, “Just, do you know the laws of Chu State? Do you know how to be this official?”
“Understand, it’s not my uncle who is telling you. Uncle has been reading books for so many years, and there are few things in the world that my uncle doesn’t know!” Shen Degui said with confidence, patted his chest.
In fact, he doesn’t understand at all, but if he doesn’t understand at this moment, and is afraid that Lan’er will deny it, he has to put the foot of the bed on the bed-hold on!
Shen Ruolan smiled and said, “Since the third uncle understands, then I will test you to see if you understand it truly or not.”
“You take the test, you take the test!” Shen Degui repeatedly said, as if he was confident.
Shen Ruolan smiled, looked directly into his eyes, and said word by word: “There is a poor orphan without a father and no mother. Her uncle is a few taels of silver and wants to sell her to an old and vulgar butcher. Concubine, may I ask Third Uncle, does her uncle have the right to do this? If so, why? If not, what crime did her uncle commit?”
As soon as the voice fell, Shen Degui’s face became pale, and even Liu’s face changed color.
They are not stupid, they all heard Shen Ruolan’s overtones, that is to say, she knew about the fact that they had planned to sell Lan girl to Zheng Tuzi, but she didn’t say it!
