Feng Yong expressed his shock: "Then according to Uncle Zhao's intention, this Li Tingzhang is going to be my official matchmaker?"
"How can the government matchmakers be so easy to deal with?" The housekeeper hated the iron. "Half of the matchmakers the government hired were because they were unable to get married, so the government asked them to find someone to match them. If you have a hidden disease, you will have a clear disease. Wait, there are also poor families, widowers, and so on. How can the Lord demean himself like this?"
After thinking about a blind or lame woman, who could even be his mother-in-law, calling him "husband", Feng Yong had an aversion to cold, so where did he get the free lunch? It’s all leftovers that others don’t want.
"That's why the old servant said he had bad intentions," the housekeeper said with disdain, "Master, please don't forget that the Li family in Xiali Village is still his distant relative. He came here just to marry the second daughter of the Li family. Come to our house. Is the reputation of the Li family in Xiali Village worthy of the Lord?"
The Li family in Xiali Village? Feng Yong's eyes suddenly widened and he was even more shocked: "This Li family... is so thick-skinned?"
It’s not surprising that Feng Yong said this. If the person who impressed him most deeply after time traveling was none other than the Li family in Xiali Village.
The story has to start with Feng Yong's family. Their family is from the north and cannot be considered locals. In those years, wars continued all over the north. How could ordinary people survive? Feng Yong's family became refugees in the north and lived in Jingzhou in the south. Before they could settle down, Cao Cao went south again, so Ah Weng had to take his family and run away to the middle of Shu.
Along the way, the family members died and dispersed, and in the end only a family of three remained. At that time, Feng Yongaweng must have thought that there would be no place to escape, so he gritted his teeth and ate the army rations. He was lucky enough to gain a hundred acres of land.
Once they had land, they were no longer ostracized refugees, so the Li family in the same village arranged a baby wedding with the Feng family. Well, Feng Yong, who was still young at the time, was engaged to the eldest lady of the Li family, who was still young at the time.
Then, when Liu Bei entered Shu, Aweng was recruited and his salary was not bad. He was promoted to an official position and made a deputy general. Unexpectedly, Liu Daer was just a trickster to the Shu emperor, and he raised all the troops in the country to attack Wu. Naturally, Aweng followed him, but he never came back.
Feng Yong's predecessor went crazy because of this and ran into the mountains without a trace. His mother lost her husband and her son. She couldn't stand the excitement and jumped into the river to commit suicide. In the end, he was the one who took over the unfortunate child's body.
Because I was ignorant when I first came here, I didn't expect that my speech and behavior were too different from others, so I was regarded as a lunatic.
The Li family, who had just married the Feng family in Xiali Village, had no other ideas. After all, these days were full of wars and chaos, and it was not uncommon for a family to have only one person die. But when the last single member of the family died, it still He has become a lunatic, and he cannot bear this decisiveness!
What's the difference between sending your daughter to marry a psychopath and pushing her into a pit of fire? So I hurriedly found another family and made a quick gift order. They got married next month and married off my daughter directly.
Feng Yong said what can I do? I'm desperate too!
How about saying that the world is changing too fast? Feng Yong gradually stopped going crazy. The government suddenly returned the land that had been taken back, and the emperor suddenly rewarded him with 500 acres of land. This made the Li family feel regretful.
Why was the Li family willing to marry outsiders? Wasn't it because of the Feng family's 100 acres of land? Now it has become 600 acres, but I regret the kiss. Isn’t this a loss for Dafa? Fortunately, there are many daughters in the family. The eldest lady is married to someone else. Doesn’t she still have a second daughter? There is nothing the eldest lady can do to find Li Tingzhang, who is distantly related to her, but we don’t need the second lady to support her. ?
Li Tingzhang thought that he was a capable person, so he thought it would be tough to use the Li family's second wife to stand up to the first lady, so he threw out a murderous weapon.
You see, this young man from the Feng family is considered to be of marriageable age and should get married, otherwise the officials will fine him. Then he recalled the close relationship between the seniors of the two families, and then it was said that because of a misunderstanding, he thought that the young man of the Feng family had disappeared and would never come back, so the eldest lady made a new engagement with someone else.
Although Feng Yong came back later, in order not to break his promise to others, he had to let the eldest lady get married first. Finally, they let it out. Fortunately, the Li family still has a second mistress. In order to express our apology, can we use the second mistress to take over?
The butler gestured and spoke vividly, but he couldn't hide the contempt in his tone.
Feng Yong thought for a moment and burst out laughing on the spot. He turned around and pointed at the housekeeper and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, you should be more virtuous with your mouth. It is understandable that the eldest lady of the Li family marries someone else. Who told me that I was hysterical at that time? Whichever family I changed, I wouldn't be willing to marry my daughter over, right? As for the second mistress, this matter has nothing to do with her, and she is still being pushed around. It is not livestock goods, so why waste people? Go back and talk to Ting Zhang Li carefully. It was my fault that Mrs. Li married another man, so the Li family does not have to feel guilty. Let’s forget about Mrs. Li’s second wife.”
"What if the master is kind-hearted? With the face of the Li family, he can calmly ask the old servant to persuade him not to feel guilty. If it were someone with a more impatient temper, he would probably be beaten to death."
This flattery felt comfortable, and Feng Yong accepted it with a smile. In fact, the fundamental reason is that in Feng Yong's memory, the young lady of the Li family seemed not to be very good-looking. She was dark and thin, and had the same snobbish temperament as her parents. When Feng Yong came out of the mountains, she often said She would rather die than marry into the Feng family.
This made Feng Yongyong very cold. If you don't want to marry, you won't get married. It's enough to talk about it in private, but whenever you say this in public, it is considered a relatively serious insult these days. After all, the two families had a good personal relationship before. Although there is only one lunatic left in the Feng family, it is not appropriate for you to openly insult him like this.
Children from ordinary farmers' families are bound to be stunted. It's understandable that they are dark and thin. There is no advantage in congenital factors, so they reluctantly accept it. After all, they are not emperors or nobles who can have wives and concubines to improve their genes from generation to generation. There is no way, after all, it is a lifelong matter.
"Is there anything else going on at home?"
"There is nothing else. However, before leaving, Chief Li Ting mentioned it and asked if our family had any surplus grain to sell after the summer harvest."
"Huh?" Feng Yong paused for a moment before continuing to walk forward, "Collect the remaining grain. Our family doesn't have any left now, right?"
"Otherwise, the old servant would have wanted to spit on him on the spot! Which big family only sells the old grain that was pressed into the warehouse the year before, and how can it sell the new grain that has just been harvested? The small households only sell new grain when they have no choice. If not, it will be a waste of the family. Doesn't he clearly look down on our Feng family by asking this?"
Is there such a thing as saying that big households sell grain? Before the new grain arrives, the remaining old grain from last year is sold, not the new grain. Feng Yong said that he has a long posture. But then again, the Feng family is actually a small family, and they don't even have grain.
"If Chief Li wants to collect grain, he may not look down on our Feng family. What he is afraid of is that the drunkard's intention is not to drink." Feng Yong thought thoughtfully and looked up at the sunset on the horizon. It was extremely gorgeous and beautiful. Dye with a layer of golden glow.
housekeeper:……
"This old servant doesn't quite understand what the Lord said."
"Nothing." Feng Yong pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Uncle Zhao, don't we still have the silk gifted by the emperor? How about we also use it to collect some food?"
"My lord, why is this? Not to mention the world, most people store grain and do not sell it, so it is difficult to harvest it. Besides, our family already has enough grain to eat. No matter how much we harvest, there will be nowhere to put it. .”
"I lost my mind." Feng Yong smiled to himself, "Then take care of yourself more."
"We already have five chickens at home. Since the master likes to eat chickens, and our family has enough food, we can naturally raise more." The housekeeper agreed with this suggestion.
"Well, let's raise three hundred first." Feng Yong said a number casually.
There was only a "thud" sound from behind, and the housekeeper staggered as he didn't know what he kicked while walking.
Feng Yong looked back and saw the housekeeper holding the fishing rod hard. The thin fishing rod had been pressed into a bow shape and was about to break. He stared at him with a pair of eyes and said, "My lord... my lord." , I’m sorry my old servant didn’t hear clearly just now, but how many do you want to raise, Master?”
"Three hundred!" Feng Yong said, and stretched out three fingers to sign, "Uncle Zhao, are you okay?"
"Nothing, nothing." The housekeeper finally stood firm, but his lips were trembling, "Master, how can you feed so many of them? Not to mention that there is no one to look after you, even the food..." After that, Although the words were not spoken, the meaning was very clear. It was a sin to use such precious food to raise chickens!
