"Mom, what’s wrong with you? Are you not happy?" Hill saw his mother as if she were going to cry, holding Hao Dashan’s daughter-in-law’s arm and shaking it.
Hao Dashan’s daughter-in-law bowed her head and wiped her eyes with tears. She looked up at the hill with a smile and said, "Mother is happy. I didn’t expect that Mother Hill could read so many words, and then we could have a literate family. I was really worried that you would live a hunting life like your father, but now my son won’t live that life again."
Chapter 11 Business is business.
Here Hao Dashan’s daughter-in-law looked up at Zhang Ting’s side and said with gratitude to Zhang Ting, "Aunt Xiaoting really appreciates you. Thank you for teaching Aunt Xiaoshan literacy and Uncle Dashan so much. I really don’t know how to thank you."
Zhang Ting chuckled and patted Hao Dashan’s daughter-in-law on the back of her hand to comfort "Auntie, we are all a family. The family doesn’t say two words. But I heard Hao Gui say that Uncle Dashan often left some food for them when he went hunting. It is difficult for you to repay Hao Gui and his four brothers and sisters."
"Ah, at that time, we thought that their four brothers and sisters were very poor, so we wanted to leave a stutter for them. Anyway, at that time, your uncle hunted back more prey." Hao Dashan’s daughter-in-law smiled and told Zhang Ting about the past
Hao Dashan’s daughter-in-law didn’t think that kindness would make her family read on such a good day. Sure enough, the old people said that it is really necessary to do more good things for life.
When it was dark, Hao Dashan came back from the outside in a dusty suit. Now Hao Dashan didn’t go hunting in the mountains anymore, but did something behind Jia Lin. Now every day when the salary is high and there is no danger, Hao Dashan is satisfied
"Kid’s dad, you’re back." Hao Dashan’s daughter-in-law immediately poured a pot of cold water from the kitchen to let Hao Dashan wash his face and hands.
After washing his hands and face, Hao Dashan smelled the smell from the kitchen. He walked over and looked at his daughter-in-law and asked, "Daughter-in-law, what did you cook tonight? It smells delicious."
"Stir-fried chicken intestines and fried chicken blood with peas are all brought back from the workshop." Hao Dashan’s daughter-in-law said to her man with a happy smile.
Hao Dashan took a sip of water and said happily, "It smells delicious. I’ll have another glass of wine later."
"Yeah, but today I’m also happy to tell you something. I’m sure you’re happy that your son won the first exam after listening to it." Hao Dashan’s daughter-in-law said with a smug look at her man.
Hao Dashan was one leng and then strode into the hill to write. He found this baby and immediately picked him up sitting on a low stool. He shouted, "Son, you are really amazing."
Suddenly he was picked up and thrown a few times high. Hao Xiaoshan’s face turned white with fear, and then he heard his father’s voice in Hao Xiaoshan’s mouth. He giggled and shouted, "Dad, don’t throw it away. Let me come quickly."
Later, Hao Dashan’s daughter-in-law ran in and got the handle from her own man. Then Hao Dashan received a scolding from her own woman. "You are so small. If you throw it so high, I will see what you will do then."
Although Hao Dashan was scolded by his wife, his smile never disappeared because he was so happy today that Hao Dashan actually won the first place in the exam.
"Son, I ignore your mother’s nagging. Take out your test paper and show it to Dad. When Dad walks around the city, I often hear those people boast that their son won the exam. I haven’t seen this test paper yet." Hao Dashan felt his head.
Hao Xiaoshan turned around with a wide mouth and took a piece of paper out of his writing desk just now. "Dad, this is my test paper. I wrote all the words. Sister Zhang Ting read the words and then I wrote them from memory. I wrote them all right."
Hao Dashan almost didn’t put his face on this paper when he was holding it. He looked left and right. After reading this phone call, Hao Dashan smiled awkwardly and said to his son, "Son, your father and I can’t read what this scarlet letter means."
Hill beeped, but he still explained to his father seriously, "This is Zhang Ting’s sister grading me. One hundred? Hao Gui made a mistake by one word. He is only ninety points less than me."
Hao Dashan immediately laughed when he heard that his son was the best of those children. After touching his son, he praised his head and said, "You are really good. You are my Hao Dashan son. He is a reader. I promise you that when you are old, Dad will send you to school."
For Hao Dashan’s family, it is also lively at Hao’s head. Hao Gui is a little unhappy today because he didn’t win the first place in the exam. The little guy who has always been competitive just didn’t say a word today.
At this time, Master Jia is accompanying Hao Gui in the hall. Master Jia is trying his best to guide Hao Gui. "You said that you didn’t win the first exam, didn’t you get discouraged like this? Besides, isn’t there a second time and a third time? You just have to do well in the next few exams."
In the courtyard, Zhang Ting and Hao Ren sat in the courtyard, listening to Master Jia coaxing Hao Guiyin in the hall. They looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"Did you find the murderer in that case today?" Moonlight at this time, two people were sitting in the courtyard, and one person was chatting with a bowl of tea after dinner in one hand.
Hao Ren took a sip of honeysuckle water in a bowl, thinking that when he came home from the yamen in the evening, he saw a darkness in the eyes of those people. "I haven’t found it yet, but I heard that the deceased who died today was poisoned."
"Impossible. If it had been poisoned, it would have made a lot of noise. Sitting next door, I should be able to hear some noise. I have been sitting in that elegant room for nearly an hour." Zhang Ting twisted his eyebrows and analyzed the man in front of him.
Hao Ren also frowned and bowed their heads and thought for a moment, but thought that it was time to say something easy at home, so Hao Ren looked up at Zhang Ting and changed the topic, "Let’s stop this, let’s talk about your business there. How do you say it in Zhangjiacun?"
Zhang Ting replied, "We agreed that I wouldn’t occupy a piece of land in Zhangjiacun either. I told Zhang Cunchang that I planned to build a workshop and have money to buy a day. I want to send Brother Qingshan to Zhangjiacun."
"Well, it’s best to buy it. Business is business. Now these people are begging us to go to the workshop, but it’s hard to protect it. When it’s done, the gang will take the workshop for themselves. I support this method." Hao Ren looked at Zhang Ting with a face of admiration
Chapter 12 Pay off the money and goods
"What you just said is exactly what I think, so I’m going to pay to buy the land [latest chapter]" Zhang Ting looked at him and said.
Hao Ren shook Zhang Ting’s hand and paused and said, "Well, I’ll go to lie down with Castle Peak’s eldest brother and give me the title deed of Zhangjiacun. Then I’ll take it to the yamen and go to Zhangjiacun’s gang. If you want to go back on your word, it won’t be so easy unless they want to take a lawsuit."
Zhang Ting thought it was feasible to listen to his suggestion. "Well, I’ll leave it to you. When you go out with Castle Peak Brother, take a few bottles of chicken essence to the yamen as a reward."
"This can be two days ago, Lin’s adult also asked me when to send him a few bottles of chicken essence, saying that his wife likes the chicken essence for cooking and so does the magistrate." Hao Ren clenched Zhang Ting’s hand and thought of Lin’s expression of begging for chicken essence with himself two days ago. Hao Ren could not help but want to laugh.
"Well, then give them a few more bottles. Today, I went to the city to find that the chicken essence produced in our village has sold for seven or two bottles in the city. It is estimated that it will take a month or two for Lin’s little salary to afford a bottle." Zhang Ting helped the yamen to handle the case once, only then did he know that their parents here, Lin’s adult, were paid only three or two silver a month by the court.
Speaking of the price of chicken essence, Hao Ren remembered one thing: "Do you remember the time when you gave Gao Fu a bottle of chicken essence to each of them?"
Zhang Ting nodded. "Of course, I remember that time. Didn’t they come to work for our workshop together? What’s the matter? Do they still want the chicken essence? Why don’t you give them one bottle?"
Hao Ren looked at her with a wave and said, "No, that’s not what I meant. I just want to tell you once that we gave Gao Fu the chicken essence. It seems that the couple took it to the city for silver. Later, I found that not only their family did this, but several families did it."
Zhang Ting smiled. "So that’s the thing. What’s the matter? I gave them the chicken essence. Whether they want to eat or sell it is up to them."
In fact, I thought that this chicken essence sold at such a high price in the city. If those people are really willing to eat it, it will be strange that a bottle can sell for six or seven taels of silver, which is enough for a family to live a good year. It is no wonder that they will be reluctant to eat it and take it to the city for silver.
Speaking of which, Zhang Ting twisted his eyebrows and looked up at Hao Ren’s side and continued to ask, "What’s the matter with this rich couple? Today, I heard his tone of voice as if the young couple seemed to be having a very uncomfortable life."
Hao Ren sighed. At ordinary times, men who work in yamen always talk about various things. He also heard Gao Fu talk about this matter.
"Speaking of this, Gao Fu and his wife are also very poor. I heard that his mother is a strict person, and the money at home has been caught by his mother. Gao Fu has been married to his mother for several years, and his mother has been unhappy with his daughter-in-law in the last year or two. Now Gao Fu seems to be worried about his daughter-in-law." Hao Ren told Zhang Ting.
After hearing this, Zhang Ting didn’t feel much. She felt that the mother-in-law was too lenient with the young players. She had already married here. Shouldn’t this money be handed over to her daughter-in-law? I really don’t understand what this old lady thought. "Did Gao Fu’s daughter-in-law go to see a doctor?"
"I’ve seen it and heard that it’s changed. We went to see a doctor for chicken essence. It seems that I’m taking medicine recently and I don’t know if it’s good," Hao Ren replied
After breakfast the next day, Hao Ren rode with Hao Qingshan and went to Zhangjiacun. Zhang Cunchang saw that these two were sent by Zhang Ting. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect the warm greeting of Hao Ren and Hao Qingshan.
Hao Ren looked at them warmly and greeted them. Zhang Cunchang Hao Ren didn’t look too emotional. He looked at Zhang Cun and said, "The village chief drinks tea and those gift sets. Today, the two of us mainly come to see a place where you choose and give me the title deed. I will take it directly to the yamen."
Zhang Cunchang said it was not good to invite others to have tea at his own home again. When he got back to his own home, he was busy taking the contract of the selected land and took the two of them for a trip.
"You guys, this is the place I chose to build the workshop. I don’t know if it’s ok." Zhang Cunchang looked at Hao Ren with a smile and asked Hao Qingshan.
Hao Ren doesn’t know anything about this kind of thing. He threw it to Hao Qingshan on one side and watched the whole place on the other. Hao Qingshan walked back to their side and slowly said, "This place is not bad. Let’s go here."
I heard that Hao Qingshan said that it was right here. Hao Ren then said to Zhang Cun, "Take out the title deed of Zhang Cunchang, how many acres and how much silver do you want?"
Zhang Cun looked at the two of them for a long time and slowly held out two fingers. "There are 100 mu of silver here."
Hao Ren, who has done something in the yamen, also knows something about buying and selling land. At present, this 100-acre field is still quite visible, and it is true that this Zhang Cun mayor has no lion’s mouth.
Hao Qingshan saw that Hao Ren didn’t say much, which also made it clear that Zhang Cunchang’s price should be good. If it was high, Hao Ren would have spoken.
