Chapter 43 Koizumi Village (3)
After finishing the meal, Su Zijin led people to inspect the fields and Xiaoquan Mountain.
"My little white, one step is one and a half meters. From east to west, there are 280 steps in total. From south to north, there are 360 steps in total. Hu Zhuangtou manages it well. This farm is getting bigger and bigger.
Already."
Su Zijin's lazy words made Hu Da turn pale instantly, and cold sweat seeped out from his back. He unconsciously looked at Lai Quanfu for help, and said tremblingly, "Butler! Quanfu! You know me.
, I have always been a careless person, and my accounts are not very detailed, but I dare not neglect the master's family at all. Every year, I pick up the best chickens, ducks and fish and send them to you. There is also Xiaoquan Mountain on the mountain.
There were many people nearby who had ulterior motives and wanted me to come down and supply other marquis mansions, but I ignored them. In addition to supplying the mansion, they all were given to restaurants in Kyoto. They were all behind the prince's and the prince's involvement, and the others really didn't matter.
Dare! I will give them some accommodation at most if they look worse. There is also land rent. Other farm owners want to contact me to ask for more money. I never earn such unconscionable money! Also, the balance of fruits and vegetables every year is
We have paid wages to the tenants. It was okay not to pay them, but it is related to the reputation of our Su family. Of course I will not keep it! And, and..."
Hu Da looked at Su Zijin in a panic. Seeing the faint expression on Su Zijin's face, neither happy nor angry, made her feel more and more unsure. When the young lady first came here, she was cold and taciturn, which made him feel unsure. He thought that at noon
He calmed down a little while eating, but his face was expressionless at this time, but it made him feel like he was falling into an abyss. A huge amount of sweat dripped from his forehead, and the horse couldn't sit still. He slid off the horse and knelt down under the horse, as if he was holding on to a trace.
With little hope, he climbed onto Lai Quanfu's legs and said, "Quanfu, please beg for mercy for me and the lady. I'm really not a pickpocket. Back then, we didn't even care about the sand in our eyes. On this large piece of land, I
Hu Da is definitely worthy of the master’s family!”
Lai Quanfu couldn't bear to look at him. After all, when they were young, they chatted and sunbathed together. They had been friends for many years. Every year when he went to the house to pay the rent, he would bring some extra fresh things for himself.
"Miss," Lai Quanfu couldn't help but say.
Su Zijin raised his hand to stop Butler Lai from continuing to plead for mercy, and looked at Hu Da, who was in a mess at this moment, "This place is surrounded by fields given by the emperor.
More?"
Listening to the lady's calm tone, Hu Da seemed to see hope, and knelt under Su Zijin's horse, "Miss! I dare not hide it from the lady. On the one hand, it is the Xiaoquan Mountain we have reclaimed, and on the other hand, it is the property of other people nearby.
Means. There are always people who are not next to the farmland. If they look outward, others can also look outside, and then they will be replaced bit by bit, and there will be more!"
Su Zijin became interested, "Is it all Zhuangtou's tacit understanding?"
Hu Da looked gloomy and lowered his head, "Yes!"
Lai Quanfu took a breath and looked around, "This is not easy."
As he said that, he looked at Su Zijin worriedly, "Miss, this is no small matter."
Su Zijin looked at Hu Da, "As far as you know, has anything happened?"
Hu Da shook his head, "As far as the old slave knows, there is no such thing. Now that Da Qian has just established his dynasty, and under His Majesty's eyes, no one dares to exploit them wantonly. It's all equivalent exchange. Even if some people don't want to, for the sake of the Marquis and uncles,
For the sake of my face, I just obeyed!"
Su Zijin looked around and suddenly smiled, "I'm afraid your princes don't have as many friends as you do."
Hu Da dared not raise his head more and more.
"Okay, get up." Su Zijin rode back and said, "I will inform my father about what happens next. If my father spares you once, as long as you do your best in the future, I will not make things difficult for you.
but…"
Hu Da's heart felt like he was on a roller coaster. He just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Mr. Hou was presiding over this matter. But because of the "nothing" brought up by the young lady, he said, "Young lady, just ask me. As long as I stay in the Su family for one day, I will be able to do it."
Miss Zun, I will never give you any discount!"
Su Zijin nodded, "You have saved a lot of property over the years. Build yourself a house and move out!"
Hu Da was sweating heavily. While wiping the sweat, he consciously led the young lady's horse back, "Don't worry, my family will move out immediately! They will move out tonight! Before the house is built, the family will lay the floor outside.
!”
Lai Quanfu looked at Hu Da in front of him, who was respectful to the young lady and treated him like a god, and then looked at the young lady who nodded, and was speechless.
Hu Da's arrogance is well known to everyone in the mansion, but he couldn't beat him before. Looking at Hu Da's quail appearance now, it is estimated that if he can still be seen in the mansion in the future, I am afraid he will not look like he used to rely on his elders.
.
Lai Quanfu couldn't help but look forward to seeing Hu Da in the mansion again during the Lunar New Year this year. What would he look like by then?
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go back to the city as soon as possible!"
Seeing Su Zijin and others dash away and disappear into Xiaoquanzhuang, Hu Da immediately raised his head from the ground and sat down on the ground.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Hu Da's son, Hu Geng, saw his father and the young lady coming back from their inspection tour, and his face became bleak. At this time, he fell to the ground again and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
"Leave me alone and move quickly."
Hu Da waved his hand, and Hu was even more confused, "Dad, what did you say?"
"Quick! Move! Move all your and your wife's things out of my room. Go quickly!"
Hu was even more puzzled, but seeing his father's serious expression, he quickly waved his hand and told his wife to do the same, while he supported his father and walked back.
"Father, why is this happening? The Marquis and his wife in the house are all thinking of your contribution. As long as the Marquis and his wife are here, the sky will not fall!"
Hu Geng puffed up his chest and said.
Although he is with his father in Zhuangzi, he still has some status among the servants of the Su family. Even the housekeeper does not dare to provoke him easily. After all, his father lost an arm for his wife.
Hu Da looked at his arm, which could not use force but was still functioning normally. For the first time, he hoped that her injury would be more serious.
"Stop talking, move quickly. You go to the village to find someone to build two huts behind the main house. It's okay to be simple. At least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain. If my father can get through this, let's take our time.
Add."
"father?"
…
"Miss Mercy."
The horse was racing all the way, and after entering the city, Su Zijin slowed down with the butler to protect him, and only then did the butler Lai finally say.
The young lady looked merciless and scared Hu Da half to death, but there was still a glimmer of hope in the young lady's words. Otherwise, the young lady would have dealt with Hu Da's guilt on the spot as she had done a few days ago, instead of reporting it to the Marquis.
The Marquis is tolerant to Hu Da. Even if Hu Da makes a big mistake, after the Marquis has vented his anger with several other Marquises and uncles, as long as he kills the culprit, the others will probably not move.
And if a person is pure, there will be no fish. No matter who takes over Zhuangzi and has power in his hands, he will be more or less inflated. Hu Da has always done his duty and was kind and righteous to his tenants. Now that he has gone through this, I am afraid he is the most powerful.
Suitable for the village head of Koizumi Village.
Su Zijin shook his head, "It depends on whether he can seize the opportunity."
Lai Quanfu thought for a while and looked at the escort team. Hou Yi had not come back yet. He instantly understood that if Hu Dayang violated the law and did not do what the lady said, he would probably face disaster. This was the opportunity given to him by the lady.
Let's see if he can grasp it.
"What a trick, Miss!"
