Chapter 222 The Zheng Family

Zhou Shuren looked at his sons with satisfaction, "Remember your mother's words, don't wait until you get distracted and regret it, it's useless."

Boss Zhou has a very strong desire to survive, "Father, you know who I am best. My mind has never been twisted and twisted. I won't move anyone's mind."

Witty, look, the first reaction is so fast, as for whether it will cheat the younger brothers, heh, the younger brothers are all bad, not worth thinking about!

Zhou Laoer looked up at the beam, it had nothing to do with him, the wife was his, he cared more than anyone else.

Chang Lian wanted to scold someone, four brothers, the second elder brother had a naive face and a lot of deviousness, but Mrs. Zhao was the second sister-in-law, seeing how the second elder brother cared about the second sister-in-law, the second elder brother would not plot against his wife.

Then here comes the problem, the elder brother's words allude to him, and the younger brother doesn't care about these things, so he is left with a lot of twists and turns. Family, this is a trap for him.

When Chang Lian saw his father looking at him, his back felt cold, and suddenly he understood why his father warned him, it is okay to plot against outsiders, but not against family members, the face of the second sister-in-law is indeed worthy of plotting, but he really never thought of plotting, he is really wronged , I have the heart to kill the boss, "Father, I assure you and mother, if I try to plot against my family in the future, I will die a terrible death. There will be five thunderbolts from the sky, and my children and grandchildren will be cut off."

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan, ""

Isn't the cut off son and grandson also their grandson and great grandson?

Chang Lian saw his father and mother's complexion, and secretly said, "Father, I don't have any other intentions, I just bet on my parents' future grandson and great-grandson, as long as I don't think badly, it will be fine!"

He has confidence in himself, and his vision has broadened. After his father's education, he understands that even if he falls down, he has a chance to get up. Relying on external forces is always a path, and he is looked down upon by others. He will not go far in the future.

Zhulan felt that if Changlian bet on her future grandson and great-grandson like this, the future grandson would be angry, but Changlian was well educated by Zhou Shuren.

Zhou Shuren said sorry to the grandson and great-grandson in the future, it seems to have frightened your father and grandpa, don't be angry, don't be frightened by the bad father and grandpa, don't plan to reincarnate!

Changzhi saw that the third brother was so cruel, but he didn't swear, and said sharply, "Father and mother, I don't like to calculate, my heart is in the book."

A year ago, he still wanted to tease the third brother and grab his mother's attention, but now he has no time, he has to learn the books that his father brought back, and he has to complete the homework that is heavier than the third brother every day, so he has no time to distract his mind.

yes,

The gentleman of ethnology gave him a little treatment, and he really didn't have extra time.

After hearing these words, Mrs. Zhao felt more at ease. For herself and her daughter, she touched her daughter's face. The daughter was more blessed than her. She glanced at the husband, and seeing him looking at her with a smile on his mouth, she was also blessed. .

After dinner, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went back to rest first, and Zhou Shuren waited for Zhulan to spread the quilt, "I'll fetch water for you to wash your feet."

Zhulan pulled, "I'll fight today, you've been tired all day."

Zhou Shuren insisted, "If I don't fetch water to wash your feet, I always feel that something is missing."

Zhulan sat still, this man, every time he fetches water, he will take the opportunity to confess his love, so give him this opportunity.

After fetching a basin of water, the two of them washed their feet together. Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to pour water and come back to lie down, feeling at ease, and finally able to sleep well today.

Zhou Shuren was also down-to-earth, "By the way, I'm in Pingzhou this time, and I heard some news from the previous dynasty. It probably has something to do with Zheng's natal family."

Zhulan regained her spirits, "What did you hear?"

Zhou Shuren said, "It's a coincidence. It's not going to be winter again. Over the years, the borders have been tense in winter, so we talked about the generals leading the troops. In the previous dynasty, there was a general surnamed Zheng. His family was relegated to the northeast border. One year Unable to prevent the foreigners from rushing into the pass, the Zheng family organized the people to rebel, and when the foreigners robbed enough to retreat, the guards were afraid that they would lose their lives if they failed to hold the frontier, so they lied that the Zheng family rebelled."

Zhulan asked, "What happened next?"

Zhou Shuren continued, "Later, the Zheng family caught fire, and the entire family died, with no one alive."

Zhulan said, "So you guess that Zheng's natal family is the Zheng family?"

Zhou Shuren nodded and said, "Before I went to Pingzhou, didn't I inquire about it for two days? During the snow disaster, many people left their hometowns, and after the disaster, many people did not return to their ancestral lands. The Zheng family did not return and stayed in Lijia Village. If the time is right, I guess it can’t be wrong.”

Zhulan counted Mrs. Zheng's age. She is fifty-two years old this year. If she subtracted forty-five years ago, she would be seven years old. She was also the governor. I have been hurt since I was a child!"

Zhou Shuren sighed, "In ancient times, this was not good. If one person made a mistake, the whole family would be implicated. At the least, he would be relegated to his ancestral home. If it was more serious, he would be exiled to the border. If it was more serious, he would be beheaded. His descendants would be official slaves, and the women would be miserable."

Zhulan was listless, "Did you forget that there are Zhu San Clans?"

Zhou Shuren, "There is also Zhu Jiu Clan."

Zhulan sighed, "Survival in ancient times was not easy, by the way, why don't you go and inquire about the Zheng family?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "It's basically certain. Don't inquire about it. It's not easy for the Zheng family to be stable. If we didn't want to avoid trouble, we wouldn't inquire about it. These are enough."

Zhulan nodded, "Tell me, the Zheng family has been wronged!"

"There were many unjust cases at the end of the dynasty, especially the generals in charge of the military were the first to bear the brunt."

Zhulan sighed and stopped thinking about it. She hugged Hati, she was really sleepy, and fell asleep in Zhou Shuren's arms.

Zhou Shuren kissed Zhulan's face and fell asleep contentedly.

Zhou Shuren went back to the village, and the patriarch Zhou came the next day. Before Zhou Shuren went to Pingzhou, he asked the patriarch to help find out who sold the land. Now that the autumn harvest is over and the land tax has been paid, the patriarch Zhou wrote back and forth. .

The Zhou Wang family also came together, and the Zheng family happened to be at Zhulan's house. Zhou Wang said, "Isn't it too much for your family to buy fifty acres of land at once?"

In the past few years, the weather has been good, and the land is not cheap. The best paddy fields are 10 taels per mu, the middle ones are 8 taels per mu, the second-best five taels have not increased, and the dry fields are good at 5 taels per mu. It's two yuan, and 50 mu of dry land is two hundred and sixty taels. Zhou Shuren's family wants 20 mu of paddy field and 30 mu of dry land. This is a lot of money!

Zhulan smiled, "Not much."

She still wants to buy more, but it's a pity that there is not enough money. She and Zhou Shuren made a calculation. If she is admitted to Juren next year, the results will be produced before the autumn harvest. The land tax that can be exempted is equivalent to earning 50 mu more The tax money for the land, after careful calculation, 50 mu of land without paying taxes can earn almost 80 taels.

In this way, silver money begets silver money, and the land will be sold after harvesting the land in the next year. The money in hand can just buy a small village near Pingzhou.

Seeing Zhulan say this, Mrs. Zhou Wang said, come on, she was thinking about it for nothing. At the same time, after calculation, Zhou Shuren's family was too rich, and the betrothal gift of Changlian was almost three hundred taels. Well, Zhou Shuren's family has thousands of taels of silver in cash!

Zhou Wang thought that her family still took advantage of her son Lizheng, and often received benefits, and hadn't saved much money in these years, so she didn't plan to say anything after laughing, she was jealous!

Mrs. Zheng put down the cup in her hand and asked the patriarch's wife, "Did the patriarch find out who sold the land?"
