MTL - The Landlord And His Wife-Chapter 233 : end
Liu Changshi has been planting wolfberry for ten years, and wolfberry has already entered the prolific period. His land is now about 30 acres, and Liu Changgeng’s also has about 50 acres, all of which are grown The wolfberry sold in the counties, counties, towns and towns near Fengxian are all from their home.
The annual income per mu of land is also nearly 70 taels of silver, and there are 5,000 to 6,000 silver each year. After removing the labor, the net profit is about 4,000. His second brother is a little less, but Liu Changgeng's land is planted by Liu Changshi, and he has to give about 500 taels of hard money every day, and Liu Changshi's income is also around 2,000 taels every year.
So Liu Changshi is also a very rich man. Recently, he also discussed with He Ruyu to expand the house. It happened that the family next door wanted to buy the house, so he bought it and prepared After opening the courtyard wall, the house was reorganized.
Although he is rich, Liu Changshi can't let go of the ground. He often takes off his long shirt and puts on short clothes to work in the field to clean up his wolfberry. Now that it is May, the wolfberry in the ground is already at its busiest time, watering, fertilizing, and watching it every day.
Now as long as he goes to the ground, he will bring Liu Li with him, and bring him out two or three times, Liu Changshi feels that he is thinking too right! Liu Li was obviously pampered at home, and he had never eaten at all, and he didn't even know the crops in the fields such as wheat, sorghum, and soybeans!
Liu Changshi is really determined to train this child well, but the farmers don't know the crops! What has this become?
In the Yamen, it didn't take long before the servants of the two abductors were found. The two made up their identities as private sellers, and the evidence was conclusive. They were really just as Liu Xuer wished.
The aunt came to look for Mr. He again.
With a sad look on her face, as soon as he entered the door, he said worriedly: "Eldest sister, what are you talking about? You were talking about marriage, but this happened! What to do?"
He hurriedly told her to enter the room and sit down, ordered the maid to pour tea, and then asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
"It's the marriage between Xiuxiu and Liu Tao, originally I thought... If we get married next year or the year after, isn't Xu'er a 160% relative? I think Xiuxiu also got married at 16 years old. It's the best! However, there is also the matter of your third child and Liu Yuner. Liu Tao's father and son mean that they want to get married this year, and they want to get married in June! Tell me..." The aunt sighed: "I think A little hurry."
Because of things like Liu Changgui and Liu Yuner, Liu Changqi and the others were all there a few days ago, and Mrs He also listened to the men's discussions one after another, and also listened to Liu Shu, Liu Lin, Liu Tao said it when discussing, so when he heard Xiu Xiu Niang's words, he hurriedly said, "You really have to think about this matter..."
Speaking of this, the voice lowered a little: "I heard what the tree said... The third child is not going to end well, maybe..." He shook his head and lowered his voice and said: "This is Don't ask his grandma to hear about it, it's good to hear it! A few days ago, his grandma told Shu to go to the yamen to find someone to see if he could plead..."
Although Xiu Xiu Niang didn’t mean to gossip, she was also very interested in this matter, so she hurriedly lowered her voice and said, “I heard from the child’s father that he might be sentenced to… death? "
, is it easy to deal with the government? What if it is to raise people? The problem is that the people on our side have committed a crime! And it is a big crime! This is a real deal! …”
Xiu Xiu Niang shook her head vigorously: "Yes! You must not go, you will be deceived if you go, and it may cost you a lot of money to go!"
He hurriedly said: "We all know this, but he can't say it directly to his grandmother, of course, find some good words and persuade..." She shook her head: " It took a lot of effort! So," she finally brought the topic back to the real business: "So the matter between Liu Tao and Xiuxiu should be done as soon as possible, otherwise, if the Dongchang Mansion is sentenced, it may be White thing! Then I don't know how many years will pass. You think Xiuxiu is small now, but next year will not be small, but after this year, it's really hard to say. "
Xiu Xiu Niang sighed and said, "It's all my fault! When Liu Tao went to ask for marriage a few years ago, I also agreed. I got married last year and got married this year. It's not a rush. , but now... I always feel it's too hasty, as if we Xiuxiu won't marry her..."
He heard what she said below, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Don't say that! There are so many people who got married that year, what conditions do you have to show off? No one doesn't know! What kind of family is your family now? What kind of family is Liu Tao? As long as people in the village have eyes, they will see that they are both good families, and there is no such thing as marrying or not going out. , or marry a daughter-in-law if you don't... In fact, the matter of our family, about Taohua Village, Qianzhuang Village and other related villages have been spread all over the world. Why are you eager to get married? These people are very clear. Don't think about it too much, it's useless to think about it."
Xiu Xiu Niang thought for a while, then sighed: "Yes."
"The person who is good and peaceful at heart will not gossip; if the heart is crooked, it is not pleasing to the eyes of others, especially if it is not pleasing to the eyes of others who are richer than you, what are you doing? These people will still gossip, so don’t worry about that, it’s really just pondering, it’s better to be a good friend early than to drag it on!”
Xiu Xiu Niang thought about it and this is the truth, so she put down the thoughts in her heart and went back to prepare for Xiu Xiu's marriage.
Liu Tao and his father Liu Changqi did not discuss it, because this matter is not to be brought out in the open, but I know in my heart that if it is sentenced, it may be a funeral! Needless to say Liu Tao's mood, Liu Changqi also hopes that his son will get married first, so as not to be delayed by this matter, and he still doesn't know what might happen! Therefore, what I discussed with He Wenqing was to get married in June.
Xiu Xiu Niang received He's advice, and He Wenqing also thought of this, and nodded in agreement.
In June, Liu Tao and Xiuxiu got married. Speaking of it, although the preparation time for the marriage was indeed a bit tight, but luckily there were many brothers and relatives on both sides, everyone prepared together, and the time was rushed, but Zhou Zheng did everything decently.
On the day of marriage, Liu Tao's house was also very lively. Liu Changqi was the eldest son of Liu Laohan and Liu Gao's, and the eldest son's eldest son was about to get married. He also put down a big stone. Speaking of which, the long house on the eldest son's side has been one of the lumps in the hearts of the two old people all these years. .
Now I finally see that the old people are doing well, the eldest son is married, and the two old people are relieved.
The other lump is naturally the third child, but the third one has no choice.
After Liu Tao got married, he was still the shopkeeper of the hand embroidery shop. After the shop was merged, it also expanded a bit. Basically, it is the most complete and largest embroidery shop in Fengxian County. The shop, on the upper and lower floors, has a complete range of goods, and there are only a dozen people in it. That's it, it's a little busy during the festivals!
Liu Xuer is also worried about other things here. Fortunately, after the age of seventeen or eighteen, it is less dangerous to have a child.
These are just some pointers when brothers and sisters are in one place.
Everyone is also waiting for the news quietly in their hearts. In June and July, there is no news at all. It is obvious that the old man Liu and Liu Gao are anxious. Although the worst plan has been made, it is also very uncomfortable to have no news.
In August, the news finally came.
Liu Changgui and Liu Yuner were both spared the death penalty!
This is unexpected, but expected. Liu Changgui's cleverness saved his own life. According to the records in the Dongchang Mansion's case file, he smuggled three times, and he followed Judd three times, so he was considered an accomplice.
He has to get back the payment for his previous purchases. Originally, Liu Changgui could have done it for him, but Liu Changgui made such an untrustworthy appearance, and Judd did not believe that Liu Changgui was not greedy for his money, so he went out to ask for it in person. It just so happened that Liu Changgui smuggled them both times, but because Ju De was with him, when the government was investigating these two cases, Liu Changgui took advantage of the situation and pushed Ju De.
And he did not run a few times before he stopped, and the government checked and found him an accomplice. And Liu Changgui is also a person who can figure it out very well. Once he was arrested, he handed over all the valuable things in the house, as well as the gold and silver that was hidden underground, in order to exchange for a light sentence.
And Liu Yuner, a woman, could have escaped if she had pushed everything on her husband, Francis Francis, saying that she didn't know anything. Fang Jicheng was already dead, if it wasn't for Liu Yuner's greed and stupidity, the government might not be able to convict her.
But Liu Yuner is too greedy, but too stupid! In the smuggling silver industry, there are also rules in the industry, that is, the smuggled silver must not be kept by oneself, because many of these silvers are official silver, and there is an official seal under the silver ingot! Even if it is not official silver, it is still a large silver ingot of 10 taels or even 50 taels. There are not many in the market at all, and there are records of the casting places, and they can be found out when they are checked.
But Liu Yuner was so greedy, she saw the white silver ingot, her eyes were straight, she wanted to keep some, of course Francis did not agree, so she secretly kept five ingots . And it was these five ingots that cost Fang Jicheng his life. He went to the sea to deliver the goods, but five ingots were missing, that is, fifty taels. Those who received the goods were killed on the spot, no matter how Fang Jicheng explained it. Also swallowed the goods.
And the same five pieces of silver, the government went to Fang Jicheng and Liu Yuner's house to check and copied it out, and with three or two sticks, Liu Yuner confessed that it was hidden by himself, So she made herself an accomplice.
The sentence will be sentenced, Liu Changgui will be fifty and will travel three thousand miles. Liu Yun'er has a stick of thirty and travels a thousand miles.
Judd, as well as Jia's adulterer and other main culprits, all were executed and executed after the autumn. Jia, because the adulterer who followed her was the main criminal, and she has also been hiding and smuggling silver for more than ten years, contacting relevant people, etc. After a long time, she has also become famous in this industry, all of which are well documented, so the guilt and Liu Changgui, like Liu Changgui, also had a stick of fifty and traveled three thousand miles, but Jia had raised him so delicately that Jiao Didi's body couldn't resist the fifty big boards, and was beaten to death on the spot.
Fang Yun's condition is lighter, with ten sticks and a thousand miles.
