Chapter 957 A slave marriage

Brother Hou smiled and said, "Many of those ingredients were produced by Xiao Wu with his spiritual power. They carry some heaven and earth aura, and the taste is naturally not bad. Not to mention the fruits and vegetables produced by Xiao Wu, even the fruits and vegetables grown in our village , and the taste is better than elsewhere.

Why do you think? That's because Xiao Xun and I set up spirit arrays within ten miles of Fangyuan in our village as early as ten years ago.

In the spirit array, the aura of heaven and earth is self-generated. Living in our village, not to mention the food we eat, even the aura of heaven and earth we breathe is not comparable to outside.

Living here for a long time, it is impossible to live forever, but it is possible to prolong life and avoid getting sick easily.

The ingredients are good, so isn’t the dish good? What's more, the chefs who are in charge this time are all famous chefs from the big restaurants in the county town, so it's no wonder they are worried about it.

As for seafood, it is not difficult for the people in Linjiang County and even Qingze Prefecture to eat seafood in the future. "

Qixun listened and said, "Second Brother, do you want to open a road from Dongze Forest to Yingzhou City?"

Brother Monkey nodded.

Dongze Forest is hundreds of miles across, and it is not difficult for monks like them to get in and out. But for ordinary people, no one dares to enter the depths of the mountains and forests.

The beasts and insects inside are all deadly. A forest of Dongze blocked the connection between Qingze Mansion, which is not far from Yingzhou City, and the East China Sea.

Once a safe passage is opened in Dongze Forest, it will be much easier and faster to go to Yingzhou City in the future. Yingzhou City is a big port. With this road, the economy of the entire Qingze Prefecture can be driven.

Especially in Linjiang County, which is just on the edge of Dongze Forest.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wu clapped his hands and said, "If such a way can really be opened up, the merits will be immeasurable. The lives of the people in Linjiang County will be much easier."

If you want to get rich, build roads first. Most of the income from your own business is invested in infrastructure and public welfare. Brother Hou thinks that so many roads have been built. How can this most important channel not be opened?

Besides, this is not a difficult task for the brothers and sisters.

The most important thing is that Dongze Forest is now his family's property, and it has been conferred by the court to her mother, a literary saint, as a fief.

In the past, if you wanted to open a path in Dongze Forest, you had to get the approval of the imperial court. Now this is their own private property, just clear the way.

Moreover, the entrance of this road will definitely be near my own village. In the future, Yanjia Village will almost be at the entrance of the road. will be more prosperous than it is now.

After that, all our shops, especially restaurants and inns, will open as much as possible.

Uncle Wu's eyes were brightened when he heard it. Although he is a literati, his wife's dim sum shop is all over Qingze Mansion, and he understands a lot of business matters just by listening to them.

Uncle Wu hurriedly said: "You have to tell Uncle Wu and Lingqi Liu Jiasanlang about this in advance."

The little fifth uncle in his mouth is the little fifth master.

These are all in business, and the business is very big now. If they hear the news, they will definitely buy the wasteland near Yanjia Village for future use.

Brother Hou smiled and said: "My own way, and it is in my own territory, so it must not be all cheap for outsiders, so I have to tell the little fifth master and second cousin."

Jinu also smiled and said: "If there is such a way, it will be very convenient for the medicinal materials and pills in our pharmacy to be transported out in the future. It will be sent to Yingzhou first, and then go by water. It will not only be faster, but also safe. There are many."

Fu Su nodded: "When the road opens, our Yanjia Village will become a commodity distribution place in the future.

There is still more than two miles of road between our village and the neighboring villages. Most of the road there is wasteland, and it just happens to be on the outskirts of Dongze Forest. The entrance to the road is too close to the village, which affects the life of our villagers. It is better to open it in the middle of the two villages. If the entrance to the road is only about one mile away from Yanjia Village, this distance is just right.

That piece of land, go back and find the county magistrate to buy it in the name of the clan. As for the land that Little Fifth Master and Second Cousin wanted, it would be better to buy it from the clan. "

Fifth Uncle hurriedly said: "What Fusu said makes sense. Since Hao'er has plans to clear the way, it's better to buy the land sooner rather than later. I'll talk to the two patriarchs tomorrow."

Lingsu heard this, but didn't care about these things, she only cared about his master.

Then he whispered his advice to Mr. Chen: "Master, since this area will become prosperous in the future, there will be no fewer merchants coming and going than the county town. Why don't you let Rendetang open a medical clinic here, and you sit here? The second brother will build you a single house, and you will live here in the future. You can also go to the academy to give lectures to medical students."

The academy in Yanjia Village has a specialized medical department, and the old man is usually invited by the academy to give lectures.

Seeing the old man moved, Ling Su smiled and said: "You have also heard from the second brother before that living in our village all year round can prolong your life. Even if you marry a slave and get married, it is not a loss to settle here. I can't always serve Master. , Ji Nu can't let you go, just for Ji Nu's consideration, you should settle down here as well."

Old man Chen regards the enslaved slaves as close relatives, called masters and servants, but in fact they are grandparents, this really speaks to his heart.

"Okay, listen to you, I said before that I would build a house here for slaves, but after you went there for ten years, this matter was delayed. While you are all here now, let's pick a piece of land and get a set The house can be regarded as my belongings left to the enslaved slaves."

Lingsu smiled.

It's just building a house, so there is no need to use his master's old book. The master's pension house deserves her to pay the expenses.

In fact, there is really no cost, only some money is needed to buy the land. Before they went to refine the realm, they all saved some money, and they haven't used it until now. It is enough to buy a piece of land.

As for building the house, just leave it to the second brother. Master's old-age house must be built to be livable and suitable for old-age care.

Jinu hurriedly said: "Serving Mr., it's my business. How can you pay for the expenses, sir? Jinu is not short of money now, and the girl gave me dry shares. I usually have nothing to spend. The money I have saved over the years Not a lot."

Lingsu said: "Serving Master, it should be my business. I can't stay with Master at ordinary times, but I have to rely on you. I am free to take care of the money. In short, the matter of building the house is between Master and you. You don’t have to worry about it, just wait until the building is completed and you can move in.”

My girl is not short of silver, seeing her say that, Ji Nu didn't argue about it, and said with a smile: "Listen to the girl."

Lingsu listened to it by chance before, the old man mentioned that a girl fell in love with Ji Nu, but Ji Nu didn't respond. She originally wanted to talk to Ji Nu, but she was busy with this or that these days, so she forgot about it.

At this moment, the matter of his getting married was mentioned in a hurry, Lingsu said in a low voice: "Brother Ji Nu, didn't the old man say that a girl fell in love with you last time? The girl's family background is said to be good, what do you think? If so You also think that girl is pretty good, let me tell you about your marriage?

You must never feel that you are not worthy of others. Since the girl has taken a fancy to you, it also proves that you are worthy of entrustment for life.

Furthermore, the master has already repaid your body deed, you are regarded as a descendant of the master, and you are yourself, and now you are also the big shopkeeper of our pharmacy, Brother Jinu, you are handsome, good-natured, and have abilities yourself, What kind of woman is unworthy? "

Ji Nu's face turned red when he was said: "Hey, how can there be a girl who said so well? That lady is the daughter of an official family. I am a boy who was born as a servant. How can I be worthy of it? The family must not I am willing. Besides, I don't have any intention of getting married, so why bother to embarrass each other?"

When Lingsu saw Jinu like this, he knew that he might not be ruthless to other girls, but felt that the difference in status was too great. If he really thought about it, he would embarrass the old man instead.

This matter is easy to solve.

Lingsu smiled and said: "What's the matter if you don't have a status? Later, I will discuss with my mother and ask my parents to recognize you as a foster son, won't it be enough? The adopted son of a champion and a literary saint is always worthy of being an official." The daughter of the family, right?"

Jinu was taken aback by these words, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no. Girl, don't mention it to the saint."

Although the saint is the mother of his girl, he is a literary saint after all.

He is a servant, how can he be worthy of the title of son of Wen Sheng?
