An Zichen was flattered, he actually had a surprise?
Was it specially prepared for him by my little wife?
When he thought of this, he felt like he was floating. He had suffered from insomnia last night and his mind was groggy, but now he felt refreshed.
I ate breakfast without fear, expecting a surprise later.
Xia Qiyue didn't hesitate. After breakfast, she took An Zichen to the stable in the backyard as soon as the others left.
The moment An Zichen saw the pony, every cell in his body was excited. He knows horses better than Pei Heng and Chu Yunche, so when he saw Xiaoyu Xue Feilong, he sighed heartily.
.
"Here, it's for you!" Xia Qiyue pointed to the one left for him.
Uncle Fu came over and patted An Zichen on the shoulder, "You are so lucky!"
An Zichen clasped his fists, "Yes, Uncle Fu is right!"
Uncle Fu nodded, "Do you know how much the other two ponies sold for?"
Uncle Fu naturally knew, because Pei Heng and Chu Yunche came to see their pony whenever they had free time, so it was not surprising that they knew about it over time.
An Zichen looked at Xia Qiyue.
"Hi... Mr. Pei and Mr. Chu like it, so I sold the other two horses. Ke'er and Xuan'er are not old enough to ride horses yet..."
Xia Qiyue originally didn't want to tell An Zichen the price, lest he feel any burden.
But Uncle Fu didn't think so. He felt that it was necessary to let Mr. An know how good Xia Yatou was to him. She could earn a huge amount of money, but she didn't sell it in order to keep it for him.
"Boss An, Uncle Fu will tell you something today. If you treat Xia Yatou badly in the future, Uncle Fu won't agree to it!"
The two of them talked to Uncle Fu for a while, and An Zichen couldn't wait to take the pony for a walk.
Dabai took one look and let him take the colt away without much reaction.
As soon as the two people arrived at the door of the house, they met Pei Heng and Chu Yunche who came to pick up the horse.
Okay, the pony is out of confinement and can be taken back.
It was obvious that they had been looking forward to seeing the two of them for a long time, and the clothes they wore today confirmed it.
But yes, these two people paid a lot of money to get these two BMWs, and Chu Yunche also paid for a village.
When Xia Qiyue saw Chu Yunche, she thought of Zhuangzi, "Ah Chen, let's go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing later. I haven't visited Zhuangzi since I took over it with Mr. Chu. Recently, I have been quite busy."
I’m so busy that I don’t even have time to care!”
Pei Heng and Chu Yunche didn't care what they were going to do soon, they had already walked straight to the mansion.
Uncle Fu knew that the horse belonged to both of them, so he would give it to them after they entered.
Xia Qiyue and An Zichen ignored the two of them, rode on An Zichen's horse, took the jade snow flying dragon that An Zichen had just obtained, and named the little guy Xunfeng to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing.
When they arrived, they discovered that all the tenants in Zhuangzi were still there. Chu Yunche had only given away the land deeds of Zhuangzi to her, but had not cleared out the stewards and tenants in Zhuangzi.
Moreover, the hundreds of acres of farmland on Zhuangzi have been planted with grains, and they are growing very well.
The manager of Zhuangzi was a middle-aged uncle who was kind and easy to get along with. As soon as they arrived at Zhuangzi, Manager Li took the initiative to take out his deed of betrayal.
"Fourth Master, Madam, this is the old slave's contract of sale. If Fourth Master and Madam don't dislike it, I sincerely hope that I can stay in the village!"
Although he was begging, he didn't mean to beg. His words were just right, not excessive or arrogant.
Xia Qiyue glanced at An Zichen and knew that he would not interfere in her affairs, so she nodded and went to solve it herself.
"I wonder how long Manager Li has been working on this village?"
Steward Li bowed his hands respectfully and replied, "To tell you what my wife is saying, this old slave has been working on this village before he got married. In the end, he gradually became the steward he is now. He also married a wife and had children on the village. Now his grandson is already here."
One and a half years old!”
When Xia Qiyue heard this, he sighed.
A person's whole life is on Zhuangzi. No wonder he still asks to stay on Zhuangzi even after Zhuangzi changes his master.
"Then Manager Li should be very familiar with the tenants around Zhuangzi, right?"
She needs a central steward to stay and work on Zhuangzi. She cannot stay here all the time, so the center for servants is particularly important.
Moreover, Manager Li is Chu Yunche's person. So far, her relationship with Chu Yunche has not been so good that she would trust any of his servants.
"Back to Madam, I understand, but I don't know much about the tenants. Of course, I still understand the basic information. It's just that the tenants on Zhuangzi have come and gone. The old slave remembers that the Wang family has lived on Zhuangzi for the longest time.
, it’s been five years!”
Xia Qiyue nodded, thought for a while, and made a decision: "Let's do this. Let all the tenants leave when the harvest is over in the fall. There will be no more land for farming here next year!"
After speaking, she raised her head to look at Manager Li. Seeing that he looked a little surprised and disbelieving, she said again, "Of course, if Manager Li changes his mind and wants to seek another job, just let me know within ten days!"
If she wanted to raise horses, cows, pigs, and chickens on the village, she would naturally have no place to farm. Even if she found a place, she could only grow grass, grass in the space.
Manager Li was shocked at first, because although he was the manager of Zhuangzi and could get monthly silver, his mother-in-law, son and daughter-in-law did not. They all relied on the land of Zhuangzi.
Come and live.
Now that Zhuangzi is no longer allowed to farm, if he continues to be a steward, he will face the problem of being separated from his family.
Because he cannot support a large family with his own money.
He has three sons and three daughters. Now only the eldest son is married and has children. The remaining two sons and three daughters have not yet returned to their homes. The whole family has food, drink and clothing. How can he only have five taels of silver a month?
There are still two sons waiting to marry, and the eldest daughter is already saying that she needs to prepare a dowry.
Manager Li was in a dilemma for a while. Firstly, he was reluctant to give up his position as manager, which paid fifty taels of silver a month. Secondly, he was reluctant to be separated from his family.
"Manager Li?" Xia Qiyue asked suspiciously when he saw the other party was stunned.
"Ah...here, I'm here, madam!" Manager Li came to his senses in a panic.
"I wonder what you think?" Xia Qiyue asked again, "Ten days to think about it or make a decision now?"
Manager Li glanced at An Zichen and knew that it was his wife who made the decision. He sorted out his words and asked carefully.
"I wonder what Zhuangzi will do for a living in the future?"
He was still very nervous when he asked this question. This Zhuangzi was a royal Zhuangzi. Although he rarely came to take care of it after it was in the hands of Prince Che, at least he would not sell it easily. Therefore, the new master in front of him definitely has
A powerful identity.
He doesn't know yet, but not knowing doesn't mean he can act arrogantly in front of others. You know, after Prince Che took over the village, he changed the servants in the village. He doesn't know how long he can be a steward.
